Scientists have discovered yet another strain of bird flu. Is this a plauge dispatched from God in the making?

"Why" is a question that has a couple of meanings: What is the cause? What is the purpose? What is the reason? Science can only answer the first one. The others depend on what meaning WE put on things - our values. AFTER the creation of the Universe, the Big Bang happened. Please re-read that. Most people think scientists think that the Big Bang created the Universe. No, they don't. At first everything was so compressed and so hot there was NO difference between particles of matter and particles of energy. THe Big Bang (not an explosion but an expansion!) cooled everything down and matter "fell out" of the primordial soup. Our "Standard" theories say that at most only a small fraction of one percent of the matter and antimatter should be left over. Most of it, we think was annihilated by anti-matter (and vice versa). So one of the "uncomfortable" questions is: Why is there so much matter in the Universe? This experiment is saying that our theories are wrong (or incomplete) that there is a much stronger tendency to create matter than anti-matter and may help explain why so much matter still remains. Of course WE are composed of that matter, so that explanation will help answer the question of why the Sun and Moon and Stars, Why the Birds and the Bees, the mountains and the trees and you and me exist is this beautiful place.

There are seven bowls to be poured out upon the earth. Plagues being only one of them. If this one causes the demise of 1/3 of the population of the earth, we should accept that it is one of those plagues.

LOL.
I'm sorry, sending Plagues and then people are still expected to worship that?? If humans did something like that they'd call it Blackmail/Extortion.

No, this is evolution in action. Genetic drift.
