The theory of evolution is a mix of the Darwinian idea of natural selection, survival of the fittest, and Mendel’s heredity, the function of passing along traits to the next generation. Combine those two ideas with the discover of DNA it shows how information on how to make the organism is stored, variations created randomly by error of copying mechanisms, the worst members do not get to reproduce while the others get to pass on their information (in the form of DNA) to the next generation. Rinse and repeat.

Using an understanding of this cycle scientist know that viral agents will change in the body and to track these changes DNA must be sequenced and analyzed and the vaccines updated and given out to people to save lives.

May I ask you to attempt to explain to me how creation science produces medicine? When you get sick do you go only to church (or mosque, you know those guys are also creationist)? Do you just pray really really hard or do you also use evolution based medicines? How do the virus mutate if not randomly? God does it? How do they select for survival of certain traits? God does that also? Do we as humans even need to learn anything or try to figure our the world or do we just wait on God to make it so?

Neither creation or evolution produces medicine, as both paradigms are historical sciences that make inferences about the unobservable, unrepeatable past. The production of medicine has to do with operational science, which deals with the observable, repeatable present. Having said that, I truly believe Creation and ID scientists have an advantage over their evo-materialist colleagues because they are actually looking for design and purpose in nature (whereas the Darwinists are looking for random events that have been preserved by survival).

Creation science does not produce medicine. Medicine is produced by humans, using the intelligence (On loan from God) given us, to modify or adapt life forms given to us to have dominion over.

Evolution based medicines? You mean perhaps virii or bacterial produced substances that are medicinal in value? EVOLUTION is NOT Adaptation. NOPE, NOT, NEVER. At the end of the day, that virus is still (surprise!) a virus. It adapted, it did not EVOLVE into a higher form.

How do the virus mutate if not randomly? God does it? How do they select for survival of certain traits? God does that also?

Perhaps a little time in a basic genetics course would answer those questions for you.

Do we as humans even need to learn anything or try to figure our the world or do we just wait on God to make it so?

In your case, perhaps I would go with trying to learn.
