Do you wish God was real?

I don't know if you believe it Catholic_Lady but I can assure you it most certainly is. It's a hard topic to explore but this is a good introduction

This is a person's opinion and interpretation of Genesis, not Church doctrine. I assure you, the Church does not teach that natural disasters and insects are God's punishment.

It teaches they are the result of human actions, an affliction caused by sin http://www.newadvent.org/summa/1049.htm . Thomas Aquinas is a Doctor of the Catholic Church and a Saint right? You don't get any higher up in the hierarchy other than being a Pope Saint or the Virgin Mary.

I'm guessing in a created world flesh eating bugs didn't create themselves.
