Why would god create flies? Okay they are part of the food chain , but look at all the disease they carry. In his or her infinite wisdom shouldn't flies have just been left off the list?
It is the mosquito that is the dispencer of disease, not the house fly. The house fly has garnered my respect in that it disposes of decaying matter that would otherwise be fetid with odor & disease. The maggot is used medically to clean unhealing wounds as it devours decaying, gangrenous flesh. Science has proven that the common house fly is not the deliverer of pestilence. Fleas, ticks, certain flies( tsetse fly, sand fly) & especially mosquitos carry disease.
