I've killed three spiders tonight....that is a new record here.
Did you report those pigs?

My worse experience was when I found myself with a whole chicken's head in my mouth. The vendor guy had stuffed it into the bird as part of the purchase and I had no idea untill too late.

Because I am having a hard time believing that he meant for all these dang spiders to be in my house! I mean He gives us a commandment that says not to kill and then He sends spiders into my house...nope I don't buy it.

I think satan created spiders, and probably mosquitos too!

Actually, there are people who believe that all harmful animals were Satan's creation. However, the Bible tells us that only God is the source of life. However, that would not prevent genetic tweaking would it? In fact, that's exactly what Satan did during pre-flood days and certain apocryphal books tell us that his tweaking included the animals. Curiously Genesis tells us that God considered animal flesh or life fouled by telling us that his destructive power was also directed against it.


Quote:
So the LORD said, "I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air — for I am grieved that I have made them." - Genesis 6:1-7

Notice that his grievance included the animals.

About killing, please keep in mind that prior to the Mosaic Law mankind had been given specific permision to use animals as food. So the killing mentioned in the Ten Commandments did not include animals.

Quote:
(Genesis 9:3-7) Every moving animal that is alive may serve as food for YOU. As in the case of green vegetation, I do give it all to YOU. 4 Only flesh with its soul-its blood-YOU must not eat. 5 And, besides that, YOUR blood of YOUR souls shall I ask back. From the hand of every living creature shall I ask it back; and from the hand of man, from the hand of each one who is his brother, shall I ask back the soul of man. 6 Anyone shedding man's blood, by man will his own blood be shed, for in God's image he made man.
