useless nature

[peaches]

Sounds like something from the Resident Evil video games.....

When God created them, they were perfect, and there was purpose in them. When Adam and Eve fell, the perfection of all creation was marred. Just figure that the buzzing of the skeeters is a whisper of the groaning of all creation, which awaits the restoration. Romans 8:22

Also, just because we don't know the purpose doesn't mean there isn't one. Generations of people believed that the appendix had no purpose, but recent breakthroughs indicate that it does. I'm not quite ready to share my home with mosquitos, but I'll defer judgement on their purpose until knowledge catches up with revelation.

Maybe the purpose is simply to remind us that we live in a fallen world. There are many creatures whose only purpose is to harm and kill...they are reminders of a fallen system.

[LadyRaven]

Well AK, I think that would explain the cockroach....

[apothanein kerdos]

And many other things. We never think about the complexity of the food chain, but essentially it is inherently selfish and serving - a dichotomy. In order for us to survive we must kill all other things below us and feed off of them. In order for anything to survive it must kill another part of creation. At the same time, all creation serves one another by becoming the food once in a while. Even humans become food for bugs when we die, assuming we did not die by being eaten.

The point I'm making is that everything in this world was designed to fit within a fallen world - everything, every creature, every cell, every atom, has been devastated by the fall. It's affected how things are made, how things survive, and how the relationships between creation operate.

all it seems to do is buzz around you and steal blood. can anybody come up with any clue why god would come up with a useless creature like a mosquitoe?

Why do you dwell on such things? With faith comes the knowledge that God created everything regardless if you believe it to be useless or not it has a specific purpose. If you can just accept that God made everything for His plan and concentrate on your relationship with Him you would have no need to ask such questions but accept that He has a purpose for everything and everyone.

i visited an aquarium not to long back and I seen so many under water creatures that was just astounding to view just made me be in awe of God's creative hand in all he has made and created and I thought as I was making my way through this aquarium I just thought that a God who has so much knowledge and creative ability then how could I go against the part He has given to us in His word. Though that part is limited it is still to vast for us humans to even grasp that small part and who are we to question such an all knowing and wise God as we serve. For His judgments are true and right and I have to accept that as one of His creations myself.

For everything created does have a purpose and God has a plan for everything he created and it is awesome even if I don't know why the beauty is I don't have to but standing in awe of it all is enough for me.
