Really? Bed bugs only feed on human blood?
What a blow for Creationism.
They would have starved, waiting for Adam to be ready to eat.
Perhaps they evolved from an earlier mutation with a more varied diet, but can evolution be compatible with Creationism. What’s more, the Creationists I know of (from my one visit to the Creation Museum) believe that animals were vegetarian until the Flood, so Adam and Eve can sport with friendly dinosaurs in the Garden of Eden, without fear that Tyrannosaurus Rex will take them for an afternoon snack. But if dinosaurs were vegetarian, what about bed bugs? Did they feed on blood while lions and tigers and bears vented their savagery on the juicy orange?
What food did Noah provide for them in the Ark?
But wait: if we imagine evolution taking eons, and humans developing after bugs, how can we account for the bloodsucking bedbug? Surely, the bug and its food must have appeared at once, one to scratch and one to bite. Farewell, Evolution!
What a pest is the bed bug. It undermines Creation. It undermines Evolution.
Whither has thou gone, O Certainty?
