The current pandemic has forced international, federal, and local governments to deal with widespread death and devastation. How similar or dissimilar is our experience with COVID19 to the 1918 influenza, yellow fever in the late 18th century, or the bubonic plague that ran rampant through Europe in 1347 AD?
There have been many plagues and illnesses now and throughout history; the spread of these diseases is scary and leads to questions such as:
- Where did all these germs come from?
- How do they fit into a biblical world view?
- What kind of function did these microbes have before the Fall?
- Does antibiotic resistance in bacteria prove evolution?
- How can something so small have such a huge, deadly impact on the world around us?
Professor Alan Gillen sheds light on these and many other questions in this revealing and detailed book. He shows how these constantly mutating diseases are proof for devolution rather than evolution and how all of these germs fit into a biblical world view. Dr. Gillen shows how germs are symptomatic of the literal Fall and Curse of creation as a result of man's sin, and points to the hope we have in the coming of Jesus Christ.
