YouTube Video by circumstraint: So You Support Male Infant Circumcision
I cannot stand it when people’s response to an argument is, “I know someone who …” This video responds to many such silly arguments. Primarily, cutting off part of a male’s penis should be the choice of the person attached to the penis.

If christians wish to stay true to their faith perhaps they should all give up science and technology alltogether and live as the Amish Mennonite do.
At least the Amish understand that when one denies ANY part of science they must deny essentially all of it. Evolutionary biologists are wrong about one thing. The theory of evolution is no theory at all. It is a proven set of laws of nature - The Laws of Evolution (Darwin’s Laws):
1. Evolution occurs and this can be seen before our very own eyes. When two parents mate an offspring results having attributes of both parents. This family resemblance can be seen with everyone’s family tree. This is evolution we are witnessing not just family resemblance.
2. Multiplication of species occurs when a daughter species splits or buds off different types of descendants. Think of this as the family tree of species. Mankind has helped nudge this process along when he bred the domestic canine (dog) out of the wolf.
3. Natural selection is the process whereby some traits or attributes favor survival within the context of an offspring’s environment and therefore this offspring will have a greater chance to mature and itself reproduce. Those offspring with unfavorable attributes for survival may not mature and therefore will die before they can reproduce.
4. Evolutionary change occurs in small gradual evolutionary steps called mutations (through DNA) which reveal themselves in the offspring of parent species. Again, this can be seen within our own children and our own parents.
5. Common descent states that all currently living organisms descend from a single ancestor. This can be tracked millions of years back with DNA profiling.
I think you meant “Amish and Mennonite.”
Very few schools of Christian thought reject science per se (i.e., the above is a straw man argument). Some take bits and pieces of their mythology and reject scientific knowledge when it’s comforting, but that’s something all people do, not just Christians. (Not just religious groups, either: how many people believe in ghosts, homeopathy, UFO abductions with anal probes (I’m waiting for that one. ;) ), crop circles, vaccines causing autism, etc?)
The theory of evolution is a theory. A theory is “a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world; an organized system of accepted knowledge that applies in a variety of circumstances to explain a specific set of phenomena.”[1], not an unproven or unprovable hypothesis. You’re feeding the creationists’ argument when you don’t know what basic terms mean.
The point above that evolution can be observed in one’s environment is also fallacious. Anecdotal evidence cannot be relied upon to make a scientific judgment. It leads to confirmation bias. You need a much larger sample for your data.
