How alive is your DNA?

(I assume that you realize that there are both DNA viruses and RNA viruses, so there's no reason to embarrass you.)

The viruses hijack the normal cell functions and use the cell to reproduce more viruses, to the great detriment of the cell.

Do they have guns?

Then why don't you point me the verses that say I can't read a book about witchcraft, and I'll go look them up. My Bible is sitting right next to the computer.

I suppose now you will defend her statement.

I have no reason to believe that you're racist. Just very, very immature.

Cells do NOT reproduce viruses. Viruses reproduce themselves using cellular material as substrates.

Why, oh why, would a cell start making coronaviruses out of the blue? What's in it for the cell? What's in it for the macroorganism - science talk for you and me.

"I suppose now you will defend her statement."

your reply skirts my question.

I'm not the only christian on earth nor the only christian she was insulting.

However, being the immature evo you are, I can understand why you haven't figured that out yet

Why oh why does a cell let a non-functional gene pass on?

A gentleman doesn't ask a lady her age. But I'm old enough.

What does free will have to do with it? Reading the book will make me a witch? It takes away my free will?

>>cells reproduce virii<<

Err, so your cells just start producing viruses for no reason?

Better see a doctor, I think you've got more problems than most of us ever dream of.

Especially if, as a fundamentalist, you adhere to cultural relativism.
