Human tragedy, or natural culling of the sick and weak, survival of the fittest?
How do creationists view it?
Human tragedy, or natural culling of the sick and weak, survival of the fittest?
As a tragedy on many levels.
I think the Coronavirus is more than the result of natural evolution. This is human-forced and orchestrated destruction rather than evolution which is controlled and usually ends up with a negative consequence. Just like all the other interventions, humans have made for example where the consequences of human activity are wiping out of other species well before their time.Human tragedy, or natural culling of the sick and weak, survival of the fittest?

The coronavirus is the latest in a line of viral infections and other diseases that have transferred to humans as a result of the commercialization of animals for human consumption. This is because of the need for mass production of food due to population growth where we are all intermixing more including with animals. This is allowing viral infections to grow, mutate and spread more.Can you expand on this statement? What do you mean by this?
I think this is just an expansion of the issues we've had since domestication got common.The coronavirus is the latest in a line of viral infections and other diseases that have transferred to humans as a result of the commercialization of animals for human consumption.

I agree that domestication has brought its own advantages and disadvantages. One of the consequences is that it has allowed harmful mutations to accumulate.I think this is just an expansion of the issues we've had since domestication got common.
It also leads to populations with higher resistance to disease.

As humans who see it affecting our lives. As fathers and mothers fearful for their families. As sons and daughters trying to help those in our families who need it most. As friends who worry about friends who are most at risk. As members of a community who hope we can weather the storm.Human tragedy, or natural culling of the sick and weak, survival of the fittest?

As someone who accepts the fact of evolution and the biological Theory of Evolution as the best scientific explanation for the diversity of life we see on planet earth past and present ... I hadn't given it a single (retrospective) thought.I meant in retrospect.
