They are created as a storehouse for DNA. So when we die off, things/people of the future can clone us. They may decree Dinosaurs too big to clone, and thats where we come in.

Also.. one mosquitoe bites me, then it bites you, then any number of other people. Blood and such may be exchanged, microscopic particals, which our body may or may not asorb, helping our tollerance and resistance to various infections. Similar to the process of Procreation, yet on a smaller scale.

Heck.. these could be horrible mutations of what they were meant to be. we'll never know.

I don't want to raise a debate or fuss, but considering that God apparently created all life (including Lucifer), that means he created mosquitos and parasites, which in general, have no real use to us other than spreading disease. And then you said he created all life with a purpose.

That means either that a. Evolution did occur, despite the fact some Christians don't think it happened. or b. The bible isn't completely true.

Then again, with all the translations and versions, I bet it's nowhere near the original scripture.

But I still stand on my agnostic point of view.

you don't know how true that is do you? the bible to date that most christians go by, is the damn king james version. it's been edited so fucking much it isn't even anywhere in the same universe as the original scriptures.

as to why insects like that are around....if i recall correctly from learning in school that masquitos have been around since dinosuars....so, considering they've been around since before humankind, yet they managed to survive w/e catastrophe from that era. i'd say that takes a bit of evolving to adapt to one's environment to happen. as to their purpose, everything on this planet has one, even if it is to suck our blood and inject poison into our bodies.

nto all mosiquitos carry dieases, the most common one people assositate with them is malaria which is a parasite anyway, which the don't inject just accidently infect.

evoloutioon, ya can see it all around us, fun really, you build a tollerance to a disease, tis evolution, not on such a grand scale as from simian to our present form

but everything serves a purpose, something eats em, and if it didnt, then the ecosystem would break, or likely find some other hapless and anoying bug

and why is that a christians answer for everything that dont fit with there utopia, "lucifer did it" the world aint perfect, it cant be, cos it needs balance, your ying and yang shall we say, wuthout it, itd breakdown, every system, be it geological or whatever, has an underlying chaos, the "what if"s and so forth

anywho, back on topic, we dont got mosquitoes over ere, just midges, same sorta thing, cept smaller

I thought the answer was really obvious.

their just one on the menu that we like to call the food chain.

take them away and watch the whole world get thrown off a bit.

There's no simple answer for why mosquitoes exist. You might as well be asking why spiders have 8 legs or why avacado pits are so large and giraffes necks so long. The only answer is; It just is.

It's the circle of life Simba.

Dinosaurs watched reality TV?

Toe Nail · Post by **Toe Nail** » Thu Jul 29, 2004 1:19 am

Yes. Check the fossil record of TV guides. Don't have one handy? Well here's a synapsis...

"Four Apatasaurs, 3 Triceritops and 2 Velociraptors are stranded in one house together on a deserted island. Every week one sings a song to see who gets voted into the dinner pot. TV Guide Rating ***1/2."

the religious explanation is that when adam and eve sinned, they were cast out of the perfect world, and the evil that caused the casting out, somehow allowed satan to create things like brambles and weeds and mosquitos. i just say god made them to carry disease. global crowd control.
