Natures wonders: virus addendum (Introduction)

No one knows how viruses started. The evidence shows that they arrived with the early bacteria, all three types. They are obligate parasites in that they cannot survive on their own but must live in living cells, either unicellular or multi. They have a metabolism to use energy and they take over the DNA of cells to manufacture replicate organisms, which burst out and infect other cells to start the process again. They use the blood stream for travel which is where the female mosquito steps in to get a meal, picks up virus and at the next meal transfers the virus particle. The way the mosquito gets blood is to secrete anticoagulant which is how the virus transfers. -The Bluetongue virus is unrelated to the animals it enters, but somehow it learned to find lymph nodes to suppress antibodies and the virus currently carries that information/ instructions in their partial genome. How? Before this virus defense mechanism developed the few survivors that made it to the lymph nodes and damaged them passed on epigenetic information to their progeny, and the process was taken on. Thus it has a specific lifestyle that requires all the steps above. This arrangement is seen all through life with malaria as a good comparison. -I've given a suggestion for development. How to analyze for an answer? By definition their lifestyle dictates viruses had to appear after life started. Did God start them? Why? Is it a mistake He could not control?
