.....and
Did God not want us to really know that they existed since we just relatively recently invented the microscope?
Why did God create viruses and bacteria?
You are definitely right. God did not want you to know about viruses and bacteria. If you were meant to know about micro-organisms, they would be visible to the naked (pardon me) eye.
Therefore, since our knowledge of viruses and bacteria is against the will of God, any use made of that knowledge must be blasphemous. QED.
So never let them give you antibiotics. Pretend to take them and then spit them out. Never let them vaccinate you. Run for your immortal soul!
More for me.
Reply:To help control the population - that is why viruses and bacteria exist, though, not all bacteria causes diseases.
....and...Everything happens for a reason. If god allowed us to invent the microscope to enable us to see viruses and bacteria I'm sure he had a good reason for it. If god wanted us to be unintelligent god would have created us that way.
Reply:God has a wicked sense of humor. By making viruses and bacteria too small to see with the naked eye, he got to enjoy all of the nonsensical explanations that humankind created to explain disease. I can just imagine how hard he must have laughed when people first suggested that disease was caused by supernatural beings.
I don't blame him either. It's pretty comical how silly our ancestors were. I mean, they invented a whole realm of supernatural things like Spirits, Demons, and Gods because they didn't have the science to come up with a reasoned explanation. God must have found this entertaining. But he is probably laughing the hardest now. Even in light of recent scientific advances a large percentage of the population hangs “religiously” to these absurd, primitive notions.
It’s understandable that our ancestors created these myths because they had no better way of explaining the natural world, but that these myths are still perpetuated has got to be one of the funniest things in the history of the universe. I bet God would find these people pretty funny if He existed.
Food for thought:
Assume for a moment that God never existed. How hard is it to believe that people would have invented the notion of God anyway? If you do believe in God, then you probably also believe that some civilizations have invented certain “Gods” throughout history. Clearly, people have the capacity to create Gods that only exist in their minds and not in reality. And clearly, there are deep psychological needs that are satisfied by creating a notion of God and an Afterlife whether or not they exist. Thus, people have both the capacity to create the notion of God, and an incentive as well. This doesn’t necessarily mean that God doesn’t exist, but only that even if He didn’t, people might have invented Him anyway. It’s just something to think about.
Reply:Bacteria is extremely important. without it, our stomachs and bodies wouldn't function properly and anything that has ever died would still be sitting there. bacteria is essential to our existence. That's why God created it.
Reply:We really don't know why God made anything. Only what he wanted us too know. So it's impossible to answer this.
Good Question

and did the avian bird flu virus just . . . .evolve?????????????
Reply:there is a wisdom behinds God's every creation.
Reply:to save us from destruction
Reply:I think God has a reason for everything He made. Without bacteria and viruses, when something dies or when fruit falls from a tree, it would just sit there forever. It wouldn't break down and get back to the dirt. You'd have dead people everywhere, fruit all over the place, and no way to get rid of them.
Reply:God had every thing perfect when Satan, Adam and Eve were in Eden.
They sinned and lost eternal life for them and all of us.
The flood lost the life sustaining earth. So in all this imperfection for a life that is short and full of teoubles, any thing can and does happen and it will until Jesus bring back every thing to perfection as it was in the beginning and creates us from the dust as was Adam. 1Cor.15:22; As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Psm.104:29,30; Rev.20:1-6,12,13; It will take him 1000 years or one of the perfect days of God to do this, this is what Adam lost, so he only lived 930 years to die in the day he snned in.

life which is candle it starts to glow when is lighted when the wind strikes on it . the flame start to glow in a abnormal posistion . and gives the flame inslightly lower flame .
life which in the same path like negative and positive with any it cant be lighted inthe same way .
So keep on mind : LIFE IS TO FACE THE CHALLENGES AND CHALLENGES OR EVERY STEP OF OUR LIFE .
Reply:Balance of life and co-habitability. All of life depends on each other. We need each other for survival.
And yes God wanted us to know about everything we can know about life, so we can have a peaceful existance with each other (mankind).

Is Cholera a virus or a bacteria??
CHOLERA is caused by bacteria and it is not a virus. -
Acute bacterial infection with Vibrio cholerae, causing massive diarrhea with severe depletion of body fluids and salts. (See bacterial disease.) Cholera often occurs in epidemics, spreading in contaminated water or food. The bacteria secrete a toxin that causes the diarrhea, which along with vomiting leads to dehydration, with severe muscle cramps and intense thirst. Stupor and coma may precede death by shock. With fluid and salt replacement, the disease passes in two to seven days, sooner if antibiotics are taken the first day. Prevention requires good sanitation, especially clean drinking water.-

bacteria, it can be gotten rid of!

Reply:Cholera is a water-borne disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, which is typically ingested by drinking contaminated water, or by eating improperly cooked fish, especially shellfish. This phenomenon was first described in a scientific manner by the Portuguese physician Garcia de Orta in Colóquios dos Simples e Drogas da India (1563). Europe witnessed several epidemics in the 19th century, but since then the disease is mostly seen in developing countries, due to poor water infrastructure.

Reply:It's a bacteria
Cholera is an acute, diarrheal illness caused by infection of the intestine with the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. The infection is often mild or without symptoms, but sometimes it can be severe. Approximately one in 20 infected persons has severe disease characterized by profuse watery diarrhea, vomiting, and leg cramps. In these persons, rapid loss of body fluids leads to dehydration and shock. Without treatment, death can occur within hours.
Reply:Cholera is caused by the enterotoxin elaborated by Vibrio cholerae, a gram-negative bacillus. The organism proliferates in the lumen of the small intestine and causes profuse watery diarrhea, rapid dehydration, and (if fluids are not restored) shock and death within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms.
Enterotoxins of other vibrios (for instance V. parahemolyticus) also cause diarrhea and mimic cholera, but symptoms are milder.

Could you distinguish between colonies of bacteria, yeasts and moulds? How?

Could you distinguish between colonies of bacteria, yeasts and moulds? How?
Yes.
Moulds are solid structures that you pour a liquid in that either gels or solidifies. They do not appear on agar because they are usually too big.
By the look of the colony on the plate, by microscopic examination and by selection criteria in the media. PCA will grow "everything", but PDA tends to grow yeast and mold.
Reply:Well mould and yeast are fungus and as such appear more evolved. Certainly on a petri dish they would be remarkably similar.

What are some similarities & differences between bacteria and viruses?
differences:
size- viruses are smaller
machinery- bacteria make their own while viruses generally steal polymerases etc.. from the host
only viruses utilise reverse transcriptase
life cycle is different
similarities:
both may be strongly pathogenic
both are microscopic
both may be easily communicable/infectious
both may sometimes be dealt with by administering antibiotics
both evolve in time
What are some similarities %26amp; differences between bacteria and viruses?
The main difference between a virus and a bacteria is;
The bacteria in an independent entity and goes about what it has to do by simply feeding and multiplying.
The virus must usurp the workings of a cell and actually becomes part of the cell itself to replicate and do business.
The similarities are much more diverse.
Both can be deadly, beneficent or benign.
We could not get along without bacteria.
Get rid of all the viruses and we could survive.

How do you determine how many bacteria there are in a certain place?
i was thinking of comparing anti-bacterial soaps for my science fair and was wondering how i would be able to test the effectiveness of each soap on a bacterial level.
How do you determine how many bacteria there are in a certain place?
you would have to culture the area. you would need some petri dishes (just regular agar plates will do) - you can buy those on the internet (maybe a medical supply store),
for the project i suggest using your kitchen table as the subject area (use the table as normal for a few days without cleaning it). you want to divide the table into sections (mark it off with tape) - lets say you are testing 2 soaps so you'll need 3 sections b/c you'll want one section as a control (doesn't change - no soap). cultural the areas - the petri dishes should come with instructions or swabs but if not use clean q-tips (ones that just came out of an un-opened package - b/c you want them to be sterile). rub the q-tip on the section of table the rub it on the agar in the petri dish, do the same for all sections. wash the table with the desired soap (make sure your cleaning devices are all new, straight from the package). let it air dry for a few minutes then swab the table again rubbing it on a new petri dish. the petri dishes will need to be placed in a warm area (not direct light - bacteria likes to grow in the dark). be sure to take pictures, label your petri dishes. read instructions on petri dishes (if it comes with them) - make sure not to contaminate the dishes, don't leave the agar exposed to the air (only while you are rubbing the q-tip on).

Does washing laundry at 30 ° destroy bacteria like MRSA or fungal infections?
Not likely. Especially for fungus. The only way to make sure that EVERYTHING is dead would be 170 degrees.
Does washing laundry at 30 ° destroy bacteria like MRSA or fungal infections?
it is possible. the temperature alone cannot kill any bacteria nor fungus but combined with the action of detergents it can work. however... i don't think it's reliable
Reply:I was thinking 32 degrees.

What are the sources of Coliform Bacteria?
coliform, I think refers to bacteria from the gut (colon) so you get it from stool.
What are the sources of Coliform Bacteria?
number one is poop..animal and human
Reply:Coliforms are abundant in the feces of warm-blooded animals, but can also be found in the aquatic environment, in soil and on vegetation.
Reply:Coliform bacteria are abundant everywhere (in the soil, water, vegetation, etc.). They are not necessarily harmful. Fecal coliforms are the ones you need to be careful of. Those are the ones (like E. coli) that come from the digestive tracts of warm-blooded animals.
