And what about viruses (especially the Aids virus)? Who made them? And why?
Did God really create the mosquito? Or, was it Satan?

Ewwwww. I am having trouble finding any redeeming qualities for a tick. At least from a human point of view. Or a dog's.
Perhaps this is a perfectly lovely tick. To a boy tick.

"I have no special regard for Satan; but I can at least claim that I have no prejudice against him. It may even be that I lean a little his way, on account of his not having a fair show. All religions issue bibles against him, and say the most injurious things about him, but we never hear his side. We have none but the evidence for the prosecution, and yet we have rendered the verdict. To my mind, this is irregular. It is un-English; it is un-American; it is French. . . . Of course Satan has some kind of a case, it goes without saying. It may be a poor one, but that is nothing; that can be said about any of us."

According to the Bible Satan was instrumental in causing every man, woman, and child to see DEATH. Any person who accepts the Bible's word for that, and then say that they "lean a little his way" has to be an idiot and more than a little sick in the head.

Devil's advocate, here. The question is a worthy one. Satan is accused of causing every man, woman and child death. But shouldn't the accused have a chance to defend himself?
Mark Twain a fool? Only a fool would say so.

What possible defense could Satan present? The BIBLE is what shows that he is guilty as charged.
Mark Twain a fool? Only a fool would say so.
Screw Mark Twain! ... and all who respect him as well. Screw all mosquitos too ... and ticks!

Schizm, am I to assume you also "screw" Canaan and all his descendants as well, then? Genesis 9:24-25. Do they deserve a defence?

I see that you're now wanting to get into something else that you know little to nothing about.
20 Now Noah started off as a farmer and proceeded to plant a vineyard. 21 And he began drinking of the wine and became intoxicated, and so he uncovered himself in the midst of his tent. 22 Later Ham the father of Ca´naan saw his father’s nakedness and went telling it to his two brothers outside. 23 At that Shem and Ja´pheth took a mantle and put it upon both their shoulders and walked in backwards. Thus they covered their father’s nakedness, while their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father’s nakedness.
24 Finally Noah awoke from his wine and got to know what his youngest son [Ham] had done to him. 25 At this he said:
“Cursed be Ca´naan.
Let him become the lowest slave to his brothers.”You actually don't understand why that Canaan was "cursed" for his father's foolishness, do you?
