.
In the very beginning, human life was immortal (Gen 1:26-27) plus; up till
the time of the Flood, man and beast lived in peaceful co-existence together
(Gen 2:19-20 & Gen 9:2) so the little critters-- e.g. viruses, bacteria, fleas,
mites, mosquitoes, and lice, et al --posed no dangers to public health and
safety back then.
Also in the very beginning, human life was the master of all other forms of
life (Gen 1:28) so that before any one of the critters-- great or small --could
proceed to harm human life, it would've needed their intended victim's
permission to do so.
I really don't think it was ever God's intended purpose for human life to lose
either its mastery or its immortality, nor for the animal kingdom to turn
against Man in a full-out rebellion. For sure God saw all that coming, but I
seriously doubt that He's to blame for instigating any of it.
