smallpox [#2782]

[naemhni]

Your website makes at least two references to smallpox being cured in the 20th century (explicitly 1950).  You have the wrong disease...I think you mean polio.  The smallpox vaccine was invented/discovered in the early 19th century.  You might also consider adding bubonic plague - it killed 1/3 of Europe in the midst of a religious hysteria.

Smallpox was cured? I know there's a vaccination but that was first developed in the 18th century, no?

Anyway...

Anywho I don't really see what the OP has to do with the existence of god, whether the vaccine was discovered in 1700 or 2000 it was still a human that found it.

Nothing, but less inacuracies strengthens one's claim.
