Creation Science Rebuttals -

Sleep and Bacteria

17 February 2006

     The 17 February 06 daily feature for the young earth creation science ministry Creation Moments discusses the the role of sleep in fighting infections.

     When you get a bacterial infection, its a fact that our bodies react, and we become sleepy.  The body destroys more of the harmful bacteria when we sleep, therefore rest is very beneficial when we are feeling ill.  This is the way that God designed our bodies to fight infection, and we can praise God for this method of fighting infections.

    However, as is typical of Creation Moments claims, this is strictly a "God of the Gaps" type argument.  Presenting such an argument in defense of creation is a pointless exercise in futility...it will strengthen those who already believe, but will do nothing to argue for your position with the atheist or old earth creationist.
