"When Creationists talk about God creating every individual species as a separate act, they always instance hummingbirds, or orchids, sunflowers and beautiful things. But I tend to think instead of a parasitic worm that is boring through the eye of a boy sitting on the bank of a river in West Africa, [a worm] that's going to make him blind. And [I ask them], 'Are you telling me that the God you believe in, who you also say is an all-merciful God, who cares for each one of us individually, are you saying that God created this worm that can live in no other way than in an innocent child's eyeball? Because that doesn't seem to me to coincide with a God who's full of mercy'."
This is a direct quote from the naturalist David Attenborough (http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/03/24/1048354544138.html?from=storyrhs)
I'd be interested in the opinions of people who believe in creation theory as to why your god created this creature . . .
