[__ Science __ ] Cockroaches—The Right Creatures for the Job

Because nature and humans often clash in our fallen world, we should certainly practice dominion over these creatures by exterminating when we must. But rather than vilify cockroaches, we should recognize that the Creator exquisitely equipped them to bring him glory. The next time you step on a roach in your house, remember, it might be in the wrong place at the wrong time, but it’s the right creature for the job God gave it to do when it’s in the right place.

Actually, the cockroaches you see are evolved to live off humans and their food. While AIG might find cockroaches delightful and God-created (which they are), it was an unfortunate oversight to neglect mentioning that household cockroaches are a primary cause of childhood asthma, and are a greater concern than dust mites.

It seems they rarely actually transmit disease to humans; at least so far, no definitive proof exists that they are a major cause of communicable disease transmission.
