Question - God has made all things, both big and small. It is often easy to focus on the negative impact that microorganisms can have on human health. Yet they play crucial positive roles in God's creation. It has been noted that bacterial flagella are the icon of the intelligent design movement. However, science has shown that flagella are more a creation with an intricate design, not something that occurred by chance. Consider other designs in microbial structures that emphasize what an awesome God we have. Do a brief internet search on positive contributions or designs of microorganisms. Then answer the following:
- What microorganism did you discover? (Please include website address.)
- What is its positive role in creation?
- How do humans benefit from this microorganism?
- What might happen in the absence of this microorganism?
