I don't have any reference material to present, but I believe that they point to the many useful functions that they play in nature. We have friendly bacteria that lives inside us that we need to survive, for example.
I remember another point they made. They believe that when humans become perfect, their immune systems will fight off any harmful viruses, making us immune to disease. So they think we get sick now from viruses because we are imperfect.

SO VIRUSES WERE ORIGINALLY USEFUL TO MAN?

I don't know about viruses. I know that bacteria are useful to people. For example, when antibiotics are used, they often wipe uot the natural flora or friendly bacteria that lives in our digestive system. This can lead to some serious health problems.
Much of our immune system is in the digestive tract. I don't know of friendly viruses though.

In the New System, when the lion lays down with the lamb, the E. Coli will lay down with the bacteriophage.
