Really? Maybe you should read the Genesis more
carefully! It clearly states that man was God's
(or was it Jesus', or the Spirit's) last creation.
So some
of the nice things like Malaria Mosquitos
existed allready when man appeared. Thus the
Genesis account would imply that the Smallpox
virus was created together with the man.
Thus the AIDS virus has also been around
for
millions of years..... or are you implying that
some viruses might be the result of
......evolution?
Come to think of it, the Adam-Eve story doesn't
sound very real to me. Here we have Eden, a
perfect place for
humans. But clearly this was a
GARDEN, a limited area. One of the punishments was
that A&E was cast out of Eden. But how could that
have been a punishment? Didn't God tell A&E to be
fruitfull and "fill" the earth? Thus man was
not
really ment to live in this small area called Eden!

P.S.
By the way, how come the all knowing and seeing
God did not see and know where A&E were hiding?
How come God had to ask Adam what had happend? Was
it God or was it the WORD of God, who was present
that sunny day, walking in the garden?
