| All right, Scott, you're on the spot. | |
| Go ahead. | |
| Okay, all right, yeah. | |
| And I've studied mosquitoes for about 30 years. | |
| Are you an entomologist? | |
| In Genesis chapter 3, starting in verse 17, the Lord is describing the changes that will come over the earth because of Adam and Eve choosing to let evil in. | |
| And one of the things it says is that thorns will grow up. | |
| You know, and so basically, you know, there are biological changes that have happened. | |
| And so probably the mosquito did not originally suck blood. | |
| And in fact, we know of 40 different species of mosquitoes that don't have to suck blood in order to lay eggs. | |
| Right. | |
| So how does that answer why is there a mosquito? | |
| My guess is that the mosquito originally did not actually suck blood. | |
| So it didn't originally live on blood or... | |
| Right, but did after the expulsion from Eden did? | |
| Right, right, yeah. | |
| Alright, so that's a theological belief answer, and I respect it, but it really just moves the question up one more. | |
| So, you see, if everything is a result, and everything might be a result to a believer, of the... | |
| Original sin, if you will. | |
| But then there's no questions to be explained. | |
| If everything has that one explanation, then there are no questions. | |
| And maybe for some there aren't. | |
| I'm a believer, but I have questions. | |
| Okay, I thank you for your call. | |
| Let's go to Long Beach, California, and Oscar. |
