I’ve come to the conclusion that if you are fearful of contracting Avian Flu (H5N1) then you must believe in evolution.

I emailed this question to a religious friend of mine:
“So, if Jesus could heal the sick did he know about pathogens like microbes, viruses and bacteria and/or just not feel like telling anyone about them in order to improve their health or did he just not understand how his own magic healing superpowers worked?”
