I am an atheist, so I say I believe medical science.

That is just it, but to add to what my Bros said, this thing is not one way. In fact the Bible says, God works in mysterious ways, no one can completely unravel God...A man can die because God has made it happen, and a man can also die out of his own free will, e.g suicide bombers, you can't possibly argue that its God that called them to die...Even our atheist friend will agree.

as much as God wants me to prosper and be in good health, if i decide that i want to pollute me body or commit suicide, thats def not gonna happen. Put it this was, if Moses woke up one night after all the palava with pharaoh and he said 'can't do this anymore' stabs himself in the heart, dies...  although that was not God's plan for him ( we know the real story) he'll still die. The truth is that God want u 2 live long...but the fact is smokers are liable to die young, u shoot urself= u die, u drink= u get drunk...etc. I think u've got to know what the truth and the fact is...
