As of the time of writing, we are in the midst of a global viral outbreak (a pandemic) known as COVID-19 (the “coronavirus”). The majority of us are being confined to our homes in an attempt to mitigate the spread of the disease (“shelter in place”), the goal of which being to save human lives, and protect the most vulnerable in our communities such as the elderly or immunocompromised people.
Commenting on this situation, the New York Times featured an article called:
Does the Pandemic Have a Purpose? Only if we give it one. The coronavirus is neither good nor bad. It wants only to reproduce.
Yes, that is a lengthy title. This is an opinion piece by Mr. Stephen Asma, a professor of philosophy. Obviously an attempt to capture an uplifting tone in the midst of this crisis, Mr. Asma’s opening line is, “Nature doesn’t care about you.” 1

That statement is not news, it's settled science!!!
This covid thing has set me wondering. Which animal on Noah’s ark carried the covid virus. One of the bat species?

Evolution is entirely consistent with Christianity.
The Ark wasn’t a ChiCom BSL-4 lab.
There was an article in Omni magazine back in the 70’s that actually addressed this issue. The graphic accompnanying it showed a sickly looking human brain with legs and eyes, sitting in a tree and it basically made the argument that, now that we can cure the sickly to reproduce, the human race will no longer get stronger with each generation, but weaker.
It made the argument that those alive today are the progeny of those that survived previous plagues and pandemics. But if we can now protect those that would not survive on their own, our genes will continue to weaken over the millenia.
“Paul is a writer and Events Manager at the CMI-US office. Paul grew up in a Christian home, and was converted to Christ at a young age”
Convert from what?
“God did not want His Creation to suffer like this, “
Then why did he create it?
No...it is neither consistent with Christianity nor science.
“The Ark wasn’t a ChiCom BSL-4 lab.”
Man can create new RNA!
Maybe it was part of original Creation...but we were all immune until Eve had a hankering for a piece of fruit...
He converted from self to Christ.
We all are born worshiping our selves.
The Unholy trinity is: Me, Myself and I.
You’re free to hold that position, however indefensible it is.
Man can create new RNA!
Man cannot create not one single proton,
he can only rearrange what is already here.
Perhaps you meant synthesize from other
available constituent molecules
“Evolution is entirely consistent with Christianity.”

A “Darwin Christian” is as legit as “Gay Christians”. (That’s not a good thing).
Read “The science of God” Gerald Schroeder. PhD
Agree !
It is neither Christian nor Good Science, if one were honest...
And forget these stupid masks
Not able to build any immunity is harmful to all of us
... and the Earth is flat!
