Why??? :mad:

Are you mad at God for creating the animals you have listed? Or are you mad at the animals themselves?

God created everything and everything He created is good. All of the animals listed exist because God wanted them to exist. Perhaps some don’t understand why but that has no bearing on whether those animals are good or bad. Suffice it to say that if it comes from God it is good.

I suppose one could take each animal separately and list the benefits each provides to humans but that would take awhile (I would like to mention that waterbugs are actually Oriental cockroaches so you have a duplication on your list).

God’s reasons may be mysterious to us but they are always good and we can count on that. The animals listed are truly innocent - they never sin. Can we say the same? Yet look at how “advanced” human beings are.

Wow, I was asking a question about God. No need to be rude. :dts:

It wasn’t meant to be rude but funny, hence the contextual preface. The implication is that the secrets of creation are best left to God. But sorry if it offended. 😉

Mosquitoes are a punishment for sin. They don’t pollinate anything.

Yes, they do. The males do anyway. Female mosquitoes are the solitary bloodsuckers we are most familiar with, while males congregate in groups and feed on flower nectar.
 
Well, seeing as I accept Evolution as the primary mode through which God created us, such animals merely exist because they evolved to fit a niche that wasn’t really occupied. Whether Adam and Eve and “the apple” existed and then fell and then lice became mean and nasty is kinda moot in the grand scheme of things.

I do rather distrust wasps, but I think they’re quite a stunning animal.

So long and short of it, God knows everything, He’s really neat, the circle of life exits, and said bugs et al have an important part to play, whether we know it or not.

Thanks, I didn’t know that.
