Consider the lowly mosquito. An incredible nuisance to humans at best. But this extraordinarily efficient feeding and breeding machine also spreads malaria, probably the deadlest disease in human history, killing hundreds of millions of people over time. According to evolutionary biologists, mosquitos have been around for 170 million years virtually unchanged (with apologies to you "young earthers." For you, let's just say that mosquitos have made quite an impact in the world's 6000 year history [sic.]). Anyway, my question is do you believe that mosquitos were "intelligently designed?" If so, was that God's intent, to create a creature that causes so much death amongst humans? If you're one to believe that only humans were "intelligently designed," than why didn't God make them immune to malaria? Such a little thing would have kept so many alive.
