That is a pay to view site.

That's got nothing to do with it. Does biology tell us why we live in a world where disease exists?

Hmmm.... It is about an anti-vax conservative Catholic that got the Covid.

Explanation of how biology explains why a world without sickness could not have happened?

What a useless response: Prove it DIDN'T happen. Is that the best you can do?

How does sin create a virus?
virus (n.)
late 14c., "poisonous substance" (a sense now archaic), from Latin virus "poison, sap of plants, slimy liquid, a potent juice," from Proto-Italic *weis-o-(s-) "poison," which is probably from a PIE root *ueis-, perhaps originally meaning "to melt away, to flow," used of foul or malodorous fluids, but with specialization in some languages to "poisonous fluid" (source also of Sanskrit visam "venom, poison," visah "poisonous;" Avestan vish- "poison;" Latin viscum "sticky substance, birdlime;" Greek ios "poison," ixos "mistletoe, birdlime;" Old Church Slavonic višnja "cherry;" Old Irish fi "poison;" Welsh gwy "poison").
The meaning "agent that causes infectious disease" emerged by 1790s gradually out of the earlier use in reference to venereal disease (by 1728); the modern scientific use dates to the 1880s. The computer sense is from 1972.
VIRUS (among Physicians) a kind of watery stinking Matter, which issues out of Ulcers, being endued with eating and malignant Qualities. [Bailey's dictionary, 1770]

Obviously, there is no relationship between "sin" and the "virus", please.
Right?

We live in a broken world. Explain why that has always been the case. Biologists only explain what, not why.

It's always been broken. When you say 'why' do you mean purpose or mechanism? One is a philosophical question, the other a scientific one.
Wildswanderer
Veteran Member
Why do you believe that?
Wandering Monk

Laws of physics and biology.
Wildswanderer
Veteran Member
Ok, but that doesn't tell us anything about how those laws came to exist.

Goddidit is not a proper response to lack of knowledge. The proper response should be 'I don't know.'

It is your opinion that "We live in a broken world."
What is broken about it? What do you mean by "broken world"?
Wildswanderer
Veteran Member
That's a non answer.

A world where sadness and sickness and death and sin exist.
Wandering Monk

I don't know.

No, it's the honest answer.

So no chapter and verse.
And I do appreciate how you moved your goal posts - you had originally asked:
"Does biology tell us why we live in a world where disease exists?"
Which is very different from your new 'question.'
But that is the creationist way, isn't it?
