If you did which? The mosquito thing?
A spontaneous change in the nature of the female mosquito that suddenly moved it from spreading malaria to a fruit diet?
HELL YES!!!
Couple of things to add, just to make sure:
1. No tricks - you understand what I am asking for - a fundamental change in the nature of all species of mosquito such that they no longer spread malaria. Malaria becomes a dead disease. No more infections, no more dying from it - the whole 9 yards.
2. Have to ask this - if you could do this - why wait for me to convert? Surely the simple reduction in human suffering would be enough reason to do it anyway?
Suffice to say, do it, do it properly and I will Join you in worship at any Church you care to name. I will sing the loudest and go out and spread the word. I will be a model Christian. I will be tireless in my support.
If you are so concerned about human suffering as you seem to imply you are, why is it that you are waiting for some type of evidence or proof before you become a model Christian?
For what is it to be a model Christian but to be as Christ? One who cared for the sick and poor. One who loved and blessed His enemies and persecutors? One who always put other's needs before His own...
It seems to me that if you are so despairing of the ills that exist in the world, you would not be sitting around waiting for a reason to do something about it.
You essentially are saying: I will follow Christ and imitate His life and be a selfless self sacrificing person IF you prove this or that....
If you were indeed so heartbroken about people having river blindness and other numerous ills, you would not need a proof to persuade you to do something about it.
