Friends, we all know that the Lord is perfect in every way, but atheists and false Christians will have you believe that either the universe is one big accident or that God is some sort of absentee landlord who got the world started and just sort of let things happen.
ANOTHER OF GOD'S PERFECT CREATIONS, THE MOSQUITO
One of the common arguments used to deny the ultimate perfection of our flawless and omnipotent God goes like this:

These sorts of questions usually do not deserve an answer, but today I am feeling particularly amiable, so I decided to share a bit of my Scientheistic wisdom. First, let us start with disease. God needs a way to punish and make examples of those that displease Him. West Nile Virus, Malaria, Dengue Fever, Yellow Fever, and other mosquito borne diseases are excellent alternatives to natural disasters like tidal waves and earthquakes when God needs to punish a large group of unbelieving heathens.
A HEATHEN CHILD SUFFERING THE RIGHTEOUS WRATH OF GOD
But wait, these unbelievers say, why do we need an insect to transmit these diseases? This is where God's genius becomes apparent. Please follow me on what seems like a digression. I have several swimming pools, ponds, and water features on my estate. A few years ago, I had a severe infestation of mosquitos. It was quite annoying. I discovered that the problem was that one of my large fountains had become a breeding ground for these hard working little tools of God's righteous wrath. I was about to have my gardeners drain it when I remembered another of the Lord's perfect creations, the gambusia fish!
ALSO KNOWN AS THE MOSQUITO FISH, THEY
EAT ALMOST NOTHING BUT MOSQUITO LARVAE!
PRAISE OUR WONDERFUL LORD!
I purchased a few hundred of these fish and my problem was solved! God's wisdom is without measure! He knew over six thousand years ago that situations like mine would come up! So He created not only diseases that he could use to smite heathens, but also a holy vector with which He could spread those diseases, as well as a living control mechanism, cute little guppies, that True Christians™ like me could use to protect ourselves and our estate staffs.
So next time some atheist claims that God does not exist, remind him of the mosquito and his part in the Lord's perfect world. Praise!
