You're wrong, sorry. Well, not sorry. At this point scientists have pretty much conclusively proved that this is how life works and grows.
"tens of thousands more children died at the hands of mainstream pharmaceutically run "medicine" than have by "faith healing" parents."
Not sure how that's relevant but you're still wrong.
I'm liking this Oboehner guy. One of the best fundies we've been getting lately, down to the obnoxious name.

Faith healing never saved anyone. Medicine has.

Because everything said on the internet is equally credible.

If that were true, faith healing would now be part of "mainstream pharmaceutically run 'medicine'."
There are tonnes of websites with evidence.They are as iron-clad as one can get in this world. Theories are what explain a set of known facts/evidence.
We have no faith in science,science has evidence.
Before modern medicine many children didn't live past the age of 5 and many women died in childbirth( along with many diseases that we now control via vaccines, immune system support, antibiotics, surgery etc.)
There honestly is no comparison. You have no damn idea what it was like before what we have now because you don't bother to look up the statistics. In third world countries people still die all the time because they don't have access to medicine. Faith healing does nothing and will always do nothing.
Considering modern medicine has only existed for around 150 years, pretty much all medical treatment was more or less faith healing before that.
So I'd say faith healing has the higher death count by far.
You do realise there are a lot of Christian (and non-Christian) websites claiming to have indisputable evidence for creationism too, right?
Also, there is literally no evidence that faith healing works significantly better than evidence-based medicine.
There are no websites with iron-clad, indisputable evidence
Since when are websites, resp. the existence of websites, criteria for scientific fact, knowledge, or research?
If you're talking about evolution, sorry, but you have to have an education in science in order to understand science. There are no shortcuts. Only the willfully ignorant can look at clear evidence and maintain that it doesn't exist. And that faith healing thing? Not true.
iron-clad, indisputable evidence - because there is none
Oh, you're talking about your god, right?
There are no websites with iron-clad, indisputable evidence for any religion - because there is none. There are "millions" of websites touting Jesus/god/Allah, but I've never seen him. You're no different than the dingbats that think they were abducted by aliens, your blind faith is so strong you wouldn't know the truth if it dropped on your head. Claiming evolution is wrong doesn't automatically prove your specific religion is therefore correct, and many more people have died at the hands of mainstream religions than have by science.
'tens of thousands more children died at the hands of mainstream pharmaceutically run "medicine" than have by "faith healing" parents'
Given the relative numbers of children nowadays who are exposed to modern medicine vs. those that only have faith healing, that statement would hold true even if the latter had a 100% death rate.

I can disprove this one with four letters...
Are you ready?
M.R.S.A.
Checkmate, good Sir.
No, websites aren't what gave evolution credence. The fact that evolution withstood rigourous testing by scientists as part of the peer review process, and that the predictions it made were met, are why it has been accepted by the scientific community. We have observed evolution in the lab with bacteria and fruit flies; the only way to reject this is through moving the goalposts. Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, alien abductions etc. have failed in this regard, and to swallow these ideas is to reject scientific consensus and rely on material approved of solely because it matches the predetermined opinion of the believer. This sounds awfully familiar to creationism.
"Hacking on the faith of others doesn't prove your own"
Attacking other religions doesn't prove Christianity. Attacking scientific theories doesn't make the idea of a god any more justifiable. Even if evolution was proven false, the idea of Goddidit would remain equally nonsensical, unless the new evidence led to a god (but, if it did, it may not be the Christian one).
"tens of thousands more children died at the hands of mainstream pharmaceutically run "medicine" than have by "faith healing" parents."
Doctors are honest about the flaws behind the medicine and surgery they use to treat ill people. However, the results have shown that evidence based medicine has brilliant results that cannot be replicated by blind faith and the placebo effect.

I see we're already at the "blind men and elephant" stage.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
