Ron claims that all STD trace back to sexual transmission. AIDS is thought to
trace back to hunting primates in the 50's. The basic idea being a hunter got
blood from an injured infected primate bleeding into an open wound on the
hunter. Is hunting then the original sin? I have seen some explanations of
this idea of the origin of the human infection that suggest that it was the
massive needs for live primates for lab work that cause high prices for these
primates causing inexperienced men to try to live capture, which was a
procedure they had no experience with, animals they had never tried to handle
before. So is it possible that live experiments on lab animals is the
original sin involved in AIDS? The reason so many primates were needed int he
50's was the need to grow and test polio vaccine. Was this the bad thing god
was punishing? The animals were render unconcious prior to polio being grown
or tested on their spines. Maybe this is what God disapproved on. Or is it
possible that the spread of disease, which is a good thing to stop when the
method of transmission is known, is not linked to the immorality of the
action that spreads it? Sneezing is not sinful, yet sneezing spreads disease.
Ron would argue that the common cold was proof of God disapproval of
sneezing.
