This question has probably been asked here before, but I couldn't find, so I decided to ask it now. I am NOT talking about natural disasters or accidents, I am just talking about organisms that kill millions of people daily.
Thanks! If there was nothing to cause death then man would live forever and be as God. It's all in the fairy tale. Genesis 3:22, Genesis 6:3.
Since stars and galaxies die why shouldn't man?

It's pretty obvious to me that God created all that nasty stuff to test us!
(The true irony is that if it wasn't for science, we wouldn't even know they existed in the first place!)
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

Oh yeah, and everything is a gift from god and/or god’s will. Enjoy. Let us worship him in all of his glory.
If monkeys have anal sex, then why do we still have monkeys?

Christian strawman: We are intelligently designed, the human body is amazing.
Atheist: So why does it contain so many mistakes, inefficient and redundant systems, vulnerabilities and other problems that any half-decent designer could have avoided?
Christian strawman: Someone ate a fruit which gave them the knowledge that eating that fruit was a bad thing to do. God got mad and screwed up his design so now it sucks.
Atheist: OK. So we're not an amazing design after all, which was your whole argument.

A continuous series of consequences stemming from initial conditions within a region of spacetime we don't currently have the ability to monitor, that may appear random due to their complexity or relative smallness, but are in fact constricted by the scaffold of events immediately preceding them and the overall structure of physics at the time.
Did you have an answer to the actual question you were asked, or was your intent to try and discredit the OP with the false insinuation that if we don't have a perfectly understood answer beforehand, we have no right to question yours?
Better yet, did you really think that your question would stump anybody comfortable with not knowing everything at the current time?
I didn't dodge the question, Esquilax. I gave an honest answer. I don't know why God made all the diseases and such. The answers you and Shuffle gave were not why everything was created, but how you think they were created. You don't know why everything exists. As far as you know, there is no reason.

That's probably because the "why?" is completely unnecessary and irrelevant. Is there a problem, if the universe doesn't exist for some explicit, preordained purpose?

He didn't as far as I know, when the fall occurred all life suffered the fall, including the micro organisms. Unfortunately for us they turned to the worse side.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
