Creation & EvolutionForum for the discussion of this important topic. This forum is open to non-believers. There is a Christians-only forum in the Christians-only section too.
Now i think God made bacteria, because bacteria are important for eating our poo and keeping us from getting sick... although some bacteria do make us sick for some reason (i dont get that, i think some bacteria get influenced by satan and deviate from goodness or something).
But i heard viruses arent even alive, they just make more of themselves and kill things, so whats the point of that? I think viruses are the work of satan, because all they bring is death and destruction (as well as colds, apparently caused by some sort of rhinocerousvirus)
Does Satan have the power to create anything? I thought Satan could only destroy.
The Bible's pretty clear that God created everything. Even virii.

Do I really look like a man with a plan, Harvey? I don't have a plan. The mob has plans, the cops have plans. You know what I am, Harvey? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it!
I just do things. I'm a wrench in the gears. I hate plans. Yours, theirs, everyones. Maroni has plans. Gordon has plans. Schemers trying to control their worlds. I'm not a schemer. I show schemers how pathetic their attempts to control things really are. So when I say that what happened to you and your girlfriend was nothing personal, you know I'm telling the truth.
It's the schemer who put you where you are. You were a schemer. You had plans. Look where it got you. I just did what I did best -- I took your plan and I turned it on itself.
Look what I've done to this city with a few drums of gas and a couple of bullets. Nobody panics when the expected people get killed. Nobody panics when things go according to plan, even if the plan is horrifying. If I tell the press that tomorrow a gang-banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics. Because it's all part of the plan. But when I say that one little old mayor will die, everybody loses their minds!
Introduce a little anarchy, you upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I'm an agent of chaos.
And you know the thing about chaos, Harvey? It's fair.
Then why did God create virii?
Maybe theyre an instrument of punishment. I get colds all the time. Maybe God isnt happy with me.
Well, the cop-out answer would be "Because of the Fall." That would mean that virii were once benign things. :rolleyes:
But why does the wolf eat the sheep?
Why does the lion eat the wilderbeast?
Why does the virus eat your cells?
Are the sheep or the wilderbeasts sinners?

"I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable. There is something unfair about its use. It is hitting below the intellect." ~Oscar Wilde
It is true that viruses and other harmful unseen agents were blamed to be demons. If you want to get spiritual, viruses and sickness are catalyzed and controlled by dark forces. Their engineering, though, was like any other: through evolution. They simply were planned to come about. Not to mention, viruses aid in the development of creatures in natural selection.
Carnivores eat other animals to survive and then have fuzzy babies that are cute and good, but my point is that viruses arent alive at all; therefore they destroy life for no common good. I guess some virii do look fuzzy in a way.
Orihalcon: anyway, virii are useful for genetic engineering
Maybe thats why God made them?
