mfh writes "The BBC is reporting that a new form of life has been discovered, nanobacteria, which was previously only theorized by Finnish researchers Kajander and Ciftcioglu. A team lead by Dr John Lieske of the Mayo Clinic claims they have found irrefutable evidence of the existence of nanobacteria, which is likely responsible for a plethora of illnesses."

"...work stations contain nearly 400 times as many microbes than lavatories."

That seems fitting.

One reasonable accommodation between evl and a belief of a god is:
Perhaps god is lazy - and just set the wheels of evolution in motion.

In fact, if god exists he/she/it acts like I did when I got my fist Sim City game - I micro managed everything for a while, then flooded it and released the monsters - then I got bored an let the thing run by itself.
