Devastating, Dangerous, and Deadly Bacteria?

Bacteria are everywhere! While we can't see them with the naked eye, these little critters are everywhere, even in and on your body! Some of these bacteria can cause serious problems! Where did they come from? What is their role in creation?
Host Trey and Dr. Frank Sherwin discuss this important topic on episode 56 of The Creation Podcast!

God bless you ICR 🙏🙏🙏

I read James Shapiro's book ("Evolution: A View From The 21st Century"), and while I don't subscribe to his overall view, he says that under starvation conditions, bacteria shut down the more accurate error correcting system, making them much more prone to mutation. I suspect that starvation may have an impact on whether bacteria become pathogenic or not. Anyway, I really enjoyed this video. Bacteria are fascinating little creatures. I call them nature's little helpers, designed, of course, by God.

[@TrevoltIV]

I believe bacteria were all created for good reasons at first and just like you said, decay occurred and now we have some bacteria that are bad.

Widespread sanitation is primarily responsible for stopping plague outbreaks.

Praise the Lord for that. I'm thankful all those Christians of the past worked hard on sanitation systems

Great information ... thank you ICR. ICR should produce a 90- or 120-minutes documentary on the fallen nature of beneficial and deleterious micro-organisms. It should include mushrooms, if mushrooms are part of the same family as micro-organisms. The documentary should include footage of micro-organisms through microscopic videos, still images, and CGI or Computer-Generated Imagery.

[@marktapley7571]

What good are computer generated (insilico) images. No pathogenic transfer has ever been proven.

I wonder if deadly things had to become that way in order to live after the fall.

[@alantasman8273]

The vast majority of bacteria and virus's serve a good function regulating biological systems. It is just wrong to say all bacteria or virus's are bad for our health.

Can you get bacteria back in your skin?

[@wms72]

Staphylococcus epidermis is normal flora which lives on human skin. You wash it off but it always comes back. It's not a pathogen but protects your skin.

[@seastheday2020]

Thanks! In the video it was said you could lose the good bacteria when taking antibiotics. Does it take a long time to get the good bacteria back?

[@annep.1905]

@@seastheday2020 Depends on various factors, but you can often do things to get good bacteria back faster, e.g. play in the mud, take probiotics...

[@alanwolf9542]

Interesting resent utube about the decline of the Colorado locast. Are we on an evilutionary increase to higher life forms. there need even all these destructive life forms. Or are we actually on a decline apiral downward because of man's sin. And decline of death and destruction. That HE that created us will ultimately restore all things. Meanwhile we should try to make thibgs better. And try to help each other survive that includes the poor and needy Not just the strong (eviltion idea of stronger survive) and the greedy.

[@christtheonlyhope4578]

Sin brought death and also the things that bring death (i.e. bacteria)

[@georg7120]

No, death came before sin.

[@SaintFluffySnow]

no bacteria was all good from creation death came after sin so, creation was cursed by God, along with death making good bacteria (and other creatures of creation, both animals and plants) potentially deadly, too

Great video. Great scientific information. This video had some bad theology. Jesus Christ and His Apostles clearly taught we must endure to the end. There is no automatic future forgiveness in The Bible and other scriptures God gave us. "receive Jesus Christ as your personal Savior" is not in the Bible. We do need accept. We accept by James 2:17-18.

[@onedirection2301]

The guest says they are not alive in the same sense that humans and animals are. On the other hand, I don't think that makes them "dead" in God's eyes. You may be surprised to know that things aren't always black or white.

[@YECBIB]

If evolution didn't happen, how can there be a evolutionist?🤡🤯🤦‍♂️

[@creinicke1000]

Great point.. But I don't believe we evolved out of mud that somehow got zapped to be alive.. BUT... the term evolution can also mean that animals of a "kind" change size, shape, and in small other ways. Most of the changes are due to damage of cells.. But in humans it's obvious that in very sunny areas humans developed more melanin in skin to protect them...and in colder climates with less sun exposure humans developed less melanin in their skins so they could absorb the vit D and positives of sun exposure that the body needs. The finches that Darwin used in his book were differentiated when separated, and they lived in different environments. God created life to adapt.. so life would survive.. That type of evolution is what I believe in. So.. I think if someone calls themselves an evolutionist, it needs to be adjusted to the study of changes that are part of God's creation.

Where do these bacteria come from, Since god didn't create them (there was no death), they must have evolved.

[@RodericGurrola]

Bacteria has good uses there’s some in our body that help us digest our food. So in the beginning, bacteria had a good purpose, but then the curse changed all that now bacteria we’re becoming dangerous or imperfect, losing their original ability, not gaining new ones as we all been taught.
