Published: 6 February 2020 (GMT+10)

There is a new virus sweeping the world. Most people are calling it ‘coronavirus’. It was first noticed in Wuhan, China and is already popping up in multiple countries. Many people have died. What are we supposed to think about it? Do viruses support evolution? Can we explain them in a creation context? Can this be part of the ‘very good’ creation?

No scholarly article would be complete without the term “hold onto your hats.”

An aspiring social media star who forced a plane to make an emergency landing after joking that he could have the deadly coronavirus says he was trying to get a viral video and has apologized for interrupting passengers’ journeys.

He told Toronto’s City News that he had announced: “I just came back from Hunan province, the capital of the coronavirus…I’m not feeling too well. Thank you.”

Potok is scheduled to appear in court in Brampton on March 9, facing the charges of mischief and breach of recognizance.

“They’ve charged me criminally, and I have court to go to,” Potok told Global News.

I am not going to read the whole article but I think the ‘creation’ of this virus was a petri dish in a lab in Wuhan, a lab staffed by PLA members.

That would be because coronaviruses have been known about since the 1960’s. There are about 7 known human coronaviruses, most of which cause mild illness like a common cold.

Crap like that is pretty much why I shun civilization in general.
