Well, of course, that would be part of the rejection of the scientific 
method which would invalidate those who reject it from being eligible for 
modern medical treatments.

I also liked the "Trial by a jury of your peers?  Nah, you get a faith-

The logic is ultimately pretty simple, though - if reality gets in the 
way of the 'accuracy' of their religious beliefs, then clearly reality 
has got it wrong.
