Hmmmmm, (((( Smiles ))))
I was reading this above and...
I agree that God's Word (Bible) makes no claims of God placing the same retroviruses in the chimpanzee DNA as He did in the human DNA.
However, they are there.
Who said that God placed a retrovirus there?
What if God didn't.
Virus's are invaders that most likely came about from the fall of mankind like sickness, death and decay.
As in their perfect state of being, there was none of that.
And someday will be no more of that.
The Bible states.
It even infected the animals with the fall, flesh is flesh.
The DVD Cosmic Conflict The Origin of Evil had an interesting scene in the DVD about that.
The changed state of being.
http://www.cosmicconflict.com/As also in Isaiah 11:6 and the wolf shall live with the lamb..
Not in this world as it is of now , as it will be in a much different state of being.
According to the Bible, humans inflicted theses diseases and sickness's which include virus's of course..
upon themselves.
By their fallen state of being.
Maybe the virus's evolved instead.. ((( Smiles )))
