Do viruses point toward creation ?

Question

It's a non-living thing. Why does it evolve without any reason? It's not survival of the fittest. It's like saying rocks evolve.

Answer 1

Rocks do evolve - into sand.

Answer 2

The Force of nature we call God created everything: still, vegetative and animate. Humanity is the pinnacle of creation. Now we are asking: Why am I here? We are here in order to be in balance with Nature, to reveal the Creator, while we are still alive. We are in spirituality, but lack the senses, which we must develop.

Our egoistic desires that we fulfill at the expense of others has a domino effect in the world which shows us that we must stop harming others. I know that it sounds simplistic, but there you go.

Answer 3

Viruses bridge the gap between non-living and living. They have some of the characteristics of living things (they evolve, they reproduce) and other characteristics of non-living things.

Answer 4

Viruses do not evolve, unless they are in a host cell or they are manipulated.

Answer 5

not really... nice try though...

Answer 6

Actually that’s a really interesting question. Why would a creator create viruses?



I’ve read that many believe viruses to be on the very edge of life, but are still considered life because clearly they’re not inanimate and do mutate ... unlike rocks.



There are such things as benign viruses, even positive ones. I suppose it ultimately comes down to the age old argument to why does God cause suffering  

Answer 7

Yes, technically we consider viruses to be proto-life because they hijack other cells' DNA to reproduce, however, like all reproduction mutations creep in and thus is subject to natural selection.



"Survival of the fittest" went out in the 1930's or before because we realized that it was not anywhere close to accurate.  Selection (natural, artificial, sexual, and maybe group) have replaced "survival of the fittest" because they better describe the processes involved.  



Evolution does not has "reason" other than some genes tend to be more useful and are blindly preserved while those that are detrimental (in a given environment) tend to be weeded out.  Those that are neither may or may not be preserved.



Machines don't reproduce (at least not yet or what is considered reproducing in a biological sense) and viruses are not a machine.

Answer 8

If viruses point toward creation, why does God keep creating new deadly viruses? Does he hate humans?

Answer 9

by your own admission it is not alive, so it does not evolve, it mutates

Answer 10

Of course they evolve and are subject to the natural selection (survival of the fittest).

Whether a virus is technically classified as alive is semantics, not science.

Answer 11

Everything that exists is evidence of creation. Things don't just pop into existence. And inanimate, insentient elements cannot direct themselves. That demands outside instruction and creative ability. If evolution were real, then it would have demanded a Creator to create the conditions that would enable and implement it. The cell is the basic unit of plant and animal life. They are complex entities consisting of many highly specialized parts. The first cells then HAD to come into existence in an instant, fully assembled and functional. You cannot build a cell piece by piece over a span of time. Its a living entity. If just one part were missing then it couldnt live or function. 





All the scientists in the world, armed with all their scientific tools, can never, ever make a single human cell - one atom at a time. And some want you to think that inanimate, insentient elements did by pure random chance. 





THINK PEOPLE!









 

Answer 12

You can argue viruses are alive and have a point. You can argue that they aren't alive and have just as much of a point.



There's no magic line that makes things living. There are even things that make copies that are less like a living thing than a virus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prion

Answer 13

A virus is not a non-living thing.

Answer 14

Yes, God created the physical realm with animate, inanimate, and somewhere in between things.  However, you say viruses evolve, but that does not mean that they cease to be viruses and turn into some other species.  So, when a virus evolves, it keeps being a virus and scientists call it a mutated virus.  

Answer 15

You are totally right. Viruses are like rocks! Rocks with RNA!

Uh, wait a minute. Are there any rocks with RNA?

.

Also, you write: "It had to be made by an alive thing."

Why? Just you saying so doesn't make it so.

.

Looking at your statements makes me conclude that you really don't have any clue what you're talking about.

Answer 16

Viruses are considered by some to be a life form, because they carry genetic material, reproduce, and evolve through natural selection.

Answer 17

Viruses mutate into new species and then the immune systems of the species they infect have to evolve to survive the infection.
