If I only had a brain...

Oh wait, I do and you do too. Well, how come when it comes to controversial issues like abortion, euthanasia, the death penalty...to name a few...why do so many turn to god/s and say, "well, whatever God wants"? This is the argument that Christian Scientists make. They don't require you to agree to not receive medical care, but many choose it because of faith that God will save them if God chooses. I'm not trying to bash Christian Scientists, but this is what they believe. So, did God not give us a brain to make certain decisions? Did God not allow medical science to progress to the stage that lives can be saved by medical practicioners intervening? If you believe that God is in charge of everything, why would God not want us to see that God has allowed technology and society to progress and that we as a people need to use our minds instead of turning to God for every little thing. We are intelligent beings and when we put aside our mind for faith, we are not relying on the most powerful tool our God gave us.
