I wonder why `God` created so many viruses ?
Do the believers amongst us have any answers ??
Interesting isn't it ?
Oh...maybe the devil did it, wherever `He` is !

I would say:

God has a plan for humanity. With the black plague a third of humanity got wiped out, and then Nostradomus figured out we could bury our dead. With things like climate change and coronavirus, God already has a plan. That doesn't mean we shouldn't try.

After the black plague, we had the Renaissance and a giant leap for civilization.

It's totally human and therefore incorrect to think only of the short term.

Humans were burying their dead long before the Black Plague. I'm pretty sure we've even found Neanderthal burial sites?

And besides, if God is so inept that he can't carry out his "plan" without murdering millions, he's not much of a god.

Thing is...... What it was...... Big G was snoozing quietly when He was woken up by humans complaining that the world was too full of humans. So He stretched, yawned, and then sent a plague to sort it all out. Then He went back to snoozing, having been happy to help.

We must be careful what we wish for.
:p

That's a lonnnnnnng snooze,
I think `He` had to start over many times, you think ?
Ah yes, creation and death, to too many humans !
Only one death per human I guess, balances out !
But....all at once, I think the viruses were slower.
Why not another flood ? The wars didn't help, did they !
And we don't have enough arks do we, or do we ?
Imagination like mercury, is everywhere, & `God` did it.

Yes Neanderthal burial sites exist, i have worked on a Neanderthal grave that contained 3 skeletons and various stone tools.

I wonder why.....`God` didn't make the Earth larger ?
"Too many humans ? Really ?
The flood before the viruses ?

`God` makes mistakes does `He` ?

Once again....imagination is everywhere !

Or maybe doctors in Wuhan do them? I can easily believe that many modern diseases are manmade. And I believe also, if people would not have rejected God, we would not have any diseases. And by what we can learn from book of Job, I can easily believe it is Satan who has arranged all the diseases.

Viruses can evolve into other viruses, no problem there.
