No more straw man argument than your saying this is all for the mom. If God didn’t want us to make advances, He wouldn’t have given us the ability to discover the knowledge to see more of Him in our improvement.

I had my knees operated on, it wasn’t a pressing medical necessity. But, by having the operation, I reduced congenital weakness in my knees that caused them to buckle. Could I have lived without it, you bet. But, it made my life a bit easier and less stressful.

On the other side, I had my tonsils removed as an adult. I was sick every few weeks as a child. But my mom had the opinion that God gave me those tonsils, so despite every doctor telling her I needed to have them out, she wouldn’t agree. When I went through a year of tonsillitis as an adult, they came out.

There are all levels of definition of necessity. The only reason I have taken offense at you, is your comments are so over the top in accusation and holier than thou attitude.

inward defects that affect one physically are not superficial, again you miss the mark
