Natures wonders: bacteria control insect reproduction (Introduction)

dhw: According to you, only God could devise the methods and apparatus they use, whereas I propose that they work it all out for themselves. I see very little difference between the parasitism of the wasps and that of the Wolbachia. So please tell me: if your God is not involved, how do you think the bacteria devised this particular lifestyle?

You apparently did not read this sentence of mine: Since infections occur, it may have happened by chance. we don't know if God has a role, since we don't understand the process or see if purpose might be inferred. The Wolbachia simply infected the Crustaceans and the rest followed.
