Abstract
The single most significant biological event since creation is undoubtedly the Curse on creation as a result of Adam's sin. In addition to animal death, creationists have long inferred a number of other effects of the Curse, including biological poisons,1 parasites,2 predation,3 and microbial pathogens.4 Creationists generally explain these Curse-related imperfections as of originally beneficial structures.5, 6 The modern genomics revolution in biology is producing confirmatory evidence of this creationist idea. (Briefly defined, a genome can be thought of as the complete genetic complement of an organism, including every nucleotide of DNA from every chromosome. Of the 39 genomes that have been completely sequenced at the time of this writing, 21 [54%] are microbial pathogens.)
