“How did parasites get in us? Perhaps they were passed down through generations

within our bodies to the bodies of our children. Did that mean Adam, who was

created in purest innocence, came into being already loaded with parasites?

Maybe the parasites were created inside him after his fall. But wouldn’t this be

A second creation, an eighth day added to that first week- And on the following

Monday God created parasites” .............. From Carl Zimmer, Parasite Rex
