Where is your God?

[SnailyBoy 10]

All here for a purpose, (even mosquitoes once) further healing properties in plants still waiting to be discovered.

Nature is amazing, Miraculous!

 

What purpose?

What purpose?

 

Reproduction.

Reproduction.

 

Exactly......

[Margarita Ma 10]

Man is selective, the mosquito isn't so. The mosquito has probably killed more of mankind than mankind in his killing fervour could ever dream of. It's also not in the nature of the mosquito to kill us, unless "God" does play a part.

 

Actually the mosquito is only the vector of the disease Malaria which causes changes in the body, as the body tries to combat the invasion of the virus it develops a higher temperature and easily becomes dehydrated. Controlling the body temperature and providing hydration usually sees the infected body recover. It is not in the interests of the mozzie or the virus to kill as they depend on the body to live and reproduce.

What purpose?

Every living material has a purpose.

What do you see around you? everything outside, and inside your home are there as a result of the gifts of nature.

Yes reproduction, without that, the Universe as we know it, would have ceased to exist.

So Ebola is a gift?

So Ebola is a gift?

None of the viruses or diseases are a gift of nature, but the medicines that cure or relieve, some discovered, some yet to be, are a gift. Edited August 24, 2014 by janie48

So they must be the curse!

The question "why has the animal, bird and plant kingdom largely remained quite primative over Millions of years, while humans clearly have evolved so much in just a few thousand years?", is a good one.

 

Just how exactly do you think we've evolved in "a few thousand years"?

 

Also how do you know animals haven't, over millions of years?

(Or is it just that you don't realise they have?)

"A few thousand years" was a bit of an understatement on my part. We've certainly come a long way though, whereas crocodiles and the like have stayed the same for millions of years.

It is based on flawed premises though. The Animal kingdom has changed drastically over millions of years, and is still changing right now. Some species may have remained largely the same for millions or even hundreds of millions of years, but others have changed.

 

Human's are not the most recent species to change significantly, we're not even the youngest large mammal, polar bears are more recent than us.

 

Just look at how fast we changed wild cats and wolves completely and into so many different forms from a few generations of selective breeding.

 

I spotted FJ making a grammatical error, surely I must win the internet this day!

That's not really an answer to the question though, is it?

More like a dodge.

Physically I don't suppose we've changed much at all in the past few thousand years, but uniquely in all of nature, human minds and intelligence has evolved exponentially, we've sent men to the moon, split the atom, and we all, to varying degrees, have the luxury of living rather than just existing thanks to modern agricultural methods providing an abundance of food, social housing and health care etc.
