All living things, but did God create them and why?

Does he also adapt them for survival?
It is proven that bacteria adapt so are resilient against treatments such as anti biotics, does God think, 'oh, they've worked out how to cure that, I'll just send a new one?' Mustn't be a very nice being if so.

I guess God created those diseases or the viruses/bacterium that causes those diseases. We can fight those things though and stop them from spreading with medicines, vaccines, self control. To say God doesn't exist (not that you are saying this) because there's pain, sickness, and suffering in the world is stupid. If God didn't exist, we would still have those things but also no hope to get thru them or see the light at the end of the tunnel. Things suck in this life because there's something better at the end if you have faith. A person is only going to know peace in heaven.

This is just in retort to the post above about the beautician.
It's not a good analogy. If children are born innocent, then why do God fearing Christian families still have children who die at birth? Or children who die within their first 5 years? They have come to God, but they still suffer? That doesn't make sense. And you don't have to pay $100 to "come to God" as you have to pay the beautician!

Not only did god creat them but he created a bunch of different strains of each disease and virus.
According to the bible there is no such thing as evolution therefore God muct have created a bunch of different versions of all diseases so that he can realise another version once an antibody is found.

This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and suffering that I have seen. It's an explanation other people will understand:
A lady went to a beauty shop to have her hair cut and
her nails painted and trimmed. As the lady began to work, they
began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many
things and various subjects.
When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the
beautician said : "I don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked Sheryl who has MS.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that
God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so
many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God
existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a
loving God who would allow all of these things."
Then Sheryl thought for a moment, but didn't respond because
she didn't want to start an argument. The beautician just
finished her job and the customer left the shop. Just after
she left the beauty shop, she saw a woman in the street with
long, stringy, dirty hair and
not groomed at all. She looked dirty and unkempt.
Then Sheryl turned back and entered the beauty shop again and
she said to the beautician: "You know what? Beauticians do not
exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised beautician. "I am
here, and I am a beautician. And I just worked on you!"
"No!" Sheryl exclaimed. "Beauticians don't exist because if
they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and
be very unkempt, like that woman outside."
"Ah, but beauticians DO exist! What happens is, people do not
come to me."
"Exactly!"- affirmed Sheryl. "That 's the
point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people
don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so
much pain and suffering in the world."
If you think God exists, send this to other people--If you
think God does not exist, delete it!

Everything has been deteriorating since sin. Mutations occur which destroy genetic code, and this is what causes diseases that hurt us. God didn't create them. This is only microevolution, which we observe a lot, not macroevolution. Microevolution is changes within a kind, macroevolution says that one kind changes into another, which has never been observed.

The human consciousness created them so we could learn from these experiences.
