I like how the data of ancient times has passed through all these thousands of years. What this article is all about is the top pandemics at ancient time and of course starting with the last and worst epidemic in modern times... that thanks to the quickly response of authorities and experts in the subject this influenza couldn't reach its heigh by the support of treatable conventional antiviral drugs. Here we can see how a miss-treat of the nature and of the humanity itself have affect us in such an enormous way. As someone said "the only culprit to transform this planet as an uninhabitable planet is the humanity". Probably this seems to be obvious for some people but for others it's not. Some evolutionists are sure the pandemics and all those diseases came from several adaptations through organisms that later created variations in the environment which brought these pandemics. But since two thousands years the evolutionist ideas couldn't be test. How come is it possible to have variations among the living organisms interacting with the ecosystem now days if the human being has not seen any change in species that surround us?¿... the answer is really obvious, there are almost limited variations possible according to the evolutionary context but talking about human being acts there could be so many variations that almost unlimited variations could be possible—Some people ask themselves why God make viruses to become so harmful?¿... I don't think that was His ideal and that was His wishes— I do think God want the best for our lives that's the reason He gave us free will even if we didn't deserve it as creations we are... The problem is that we didn't take advantage of it except for some that made of this world a more suitable planet to live in. The pandemics such as the 14th century pandemic which I think is the most dangerous and horrible grew up thanks to the dirt and neglect toilet of the population in Europe where the fatality of the pandemics recorded at over 25 million of people or one-fourth of the entire population. And in 1855 the septicemic, one form of the black death pandemic, spread out all over India,Africa, and America again the fall was accredited to the negligence of Humanity. Humanity also makes big mistakes such as the indiscriminate killing of other living organisms which leaves a trail of destruction behind on this planet... Perhaps Human being needs an ear pull to transform his way of thinking and then his way of living.... Absolutely it is a great research of pandemics all over the history.

On the oder hand for me is very harsh see how many people have dead only for a virus. But for me God know how and when do the things for us, so we have to learn about live and take care what we do with life. well think this articule show us many thing to all humans beings. as we can see all this plagues and viruses its caused by humans. it is like the nature we have the nature and we destroy but then what we caused affect to us.

In 6 months the flu was in all the continents, 1 billion of people was contracted with this virus,and 20 to 100 dead with this sickness. Was the most lethal epidemic in humankind. They put Spanish flu not because originated in spain it got the name because in taht period Spain was not involved in the World War.

The thing is that humans have to learn from everything we've lived, what this pandemics teach us, is that humans are interdependant, if a war occur, it would affect not only the peolple that is envolve in the war, also the whole world, as we've seen with this panedemics. Onther point is that people and the wotld is always evolving, for example the weapons in wars are always changing, first were arrows, catapults, etc, and they had been evolving, then guns, nuclear bombs, and every type of guns were created with a radioactive powder, this time were more powerful and harmful,and if we evolve in guns, it means humans are evolving, and if humans evolve the whole world evolve, because as I said before, every action affect others, could be in a good way or in a bad way, becasue that is interdependence, every organism depend in other to survive.

But i wanna said that people can be afraid for this. Human being ever try to find the solution for every thing, as now days, The swung flu ( i dont know if it is spell correctly) the human being thought that it might be another pandemic, people was afraid for but it just belong here few weeks. Human being using all his knowlodge that had adquire untill the existence has applied for that moment. My poin is that people must not be afraid for decease, The 5 pandemics that is the topic is very scary, but thinking well it was in the past, were those days the human being waere just begunnings its studies from nature, so they didnt have the enough knolodge. I hope you like it ROBERTO BALSECA Sorry i might go to the bus... xD Bye First at all….

I dont know whats more intresting, reading the whole article or reading daniels comment above mine haha funny, "all the panderics concidered to be grave right?". Just saying. Well after reading this article about the 5 deadliest pandemics i realized that there hasnt been a big number of peoples death caused by a virus thanks to the high technology that we know control. Well theres not much to say but to thank God i wasnt part of it, especially in the spanish flue, that killed more poeple a war itself could kill. Even though theres alot of flues and viruses like AIDs that kills everyday, in my opinion there a bigger pandamic that no computer or artifact with high technology could control, and im talking about humans irracionality. Those pandemics dont apear out of nowhere, theres always a couse, and even though the couse is accidentle there a way to avoid. Thanks to one person alot of poeple could die. Ok, one thing first.

The reason why a lot of people died with The Spanish Flu or the plagues was because they did not have vaccines that could prevent the virus to kill a person so, as science was not advanced at those times people could die because of a small flu because they only tried to mix some plants with water and many people were lucky and they could survive but others could not. I think that God created everything and while time has passed everything has changed like plants, animals, humans and those little organisms that we can not see but are the basic structures of life that a little change can influence a big thing. Also I think that pandemics are our error because as we change our ecosystem the other living organisms change too in order to survive so changes are not bad but how we want to change without preserving our vital resources is why we have new viruses that are formed in the air by toxic gases that affect us. So during those centuryes we had many deadliest viruses that we could not face but we need to think about the future and the new pandemics we will have in order to prevent them, because we can not be prepared for something we do not have an idea. The pandemic that i think was the most interesting was the Black death because it last a lot and it killed a lot of people, it last 100 years and it killed 12 million people so for me that was the most destructive also because when people got it the started to rot and they die rapidly like in 3 to 7 days. Ok Mr. Juan Pablo that was my homework, I hope you liked it. Mr. Juan Pablo

The reason why a lot of people died with The Spanish Flu or the plagues was because they did not have vaccines that could prevent the virus to kill a person so, as science was not advanced at those times people could die because of a small flu because they only tried to mix some plants with water and many people were lucky and they could survive but others could not.
I think that God created everything and while time has passed everything has changed like plants, animals, humans and those little organisms that we can not see but are the basic structures of life that a little change can influence a big thing.
Also I think that pandemics are our error because as we change our ecosystem the other living organisms change too in order to survive so changes are not bad but how we want to change without preserving our vital resources is why we have new viruses that are formed in the air by toxic gases that affect us.
So during those centuryes we had many deadliest viruses that we could not face but we need to think about the future and the new pandemics we will have in order to prevent them, because we can not be prepared for something we do not have an idea.
The pandemic that i think was the most interesting was the Black death because it last a lot and it killed a lot of people, it last 100 years and it killed 12 million people so for me that was the most destructive also because when people got it the started to rot and they die rapidly like in 3 to 7 days.
Ok Mr. Juan Pablo that was my homework, I hope you liked it.

The Peloponnesian War Pestilence: i think like it was really grave bcuz it killed many people but wat surprised me most was the symptoms of this sickness... i think that maybe this pandemics were not healed bcuz of technology and science of that time, if u think nowadays many sicknesess that are considered weak... in that times were considered really dangerous... so i think the main fact was that the science was not developed... and the other one that surprised me was the spanish flu!! bcuz i killed almost the half population of the world... again i think it wasnt controlled bcuz of the science!!

It is about the pandemics that killed a lot of people, this is fatal not just because lot of people died, also because children lost their parent, woman lost their husbands, men lost their wives, and parents lost their children. The worst thing is that at that time, it was difficult to find a vaccine, and that’s why these pandemics extended so much. Now, the swine flu was also dangerous but the scientists were able to contrast it because of the technology we have now. In conclusion, all of the sudden a pandemic can appear and it would be fatal and kill lot of people as the other pandemics did. Ok, this article is one of the most interesting articles I’ve read.

In my opinion these diseases like killed so much people because they didnt have enough technology like we do now a days. We can make medicines that cure these sicknesses like we did with the swine flu because if we wouldnt have made the vaccine against it, it would have been another deadly pandmic. I think that the black death was probably the worst of all since so many people died. It must be like scary seeing urself rot in life. Like thats gross.!

How it could start in on urban city and turn out to catch on over the seas in another continent because of traveling. Each of which caused death and sorrow to countries and leaders. People need to take careful precautions even for a small flu or fever so that it will not spread. We are lucky to have the right medicine and vaccines now a' days.

God made the world so He is relevant to a discussion about how the world came to be! I am guessing that you would say christians are brainwashed deluded people ... this is far from the truth - Christians are ordinary people who have had their eyes opened by God - As the bible says "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free" The accuracy of the bible has been proved time and time again - The historical record of Babylon was ridiculed in the bible until the city was found! The bible predicts Israel would be gathered from the corners of the world and would once again become a people - This has happened according to the bible in the past 70 years despite the efforts of some to "wipe Israel from the face of the earth" - e.g. the 6 day war Given this reliability are we not entitled as thinking people to assume that the bible is once again fully correct with respect to its account on the creation of the world? As for being brainwashed I feel sorry for the thousands of inidividuals who have been fed the lie of evolution and fell for it - e.g. the diagrams used in biology textbooks to this day with respect to the human foetus are known to be inaccurate and the author has been recognised by scientists as "warping science" - yet the diagrams remain resulting in brainwashing with a lie - i will not even begin to mention the piltdown man deception, the failing to include cave paintings of dinosaurs in textbooks (this would ruin the evolution theory), i could go on but am just stating these things here as areas for you to research if you actually desire truth (some people are happy to go with the lie thinking that somehow following a lie will mean that they will not face God, some people are just honestly deceived) As one evolutionist said (this is not a verbatim quote) "We are compelled to believe in Evolution, the alternative is Creation which is unthinkable" Unthinkable to the man who doesn't wish to stand before the Lord Jesus Christ on judgement day (but who will do regardless of his beliefs) Evolution is flawed to the thinking man - Darwin himself says that the fossil record should contain numerous examples of "beings in the evolutionary process" - This was over 100 years ago - With all the fossils now discovered and still no "missing links" or anything the theory is ridiculous to believe - It certainly requires far less faith to believe the bible Furthermore when Darwin put forward his theory he had no idea of the complexity of a single cell with its 6 feet of DNA entwined within it - Many people in the professional world do not believe in evolution but simply teach it or else there funding is stopped I have no doubt that this post will be attacked but actually this post is only offensive to those who want it to be - Realise that this post is in love to guide you to the truth - The truth is there if you wish to know it - And I wish that anyone reading this come to the truth also With regards plagues, I cant say this is an area I have studied - As with all christians I thoroughly acknowledge evolution within defined boundaries within the same species - However there has never been any proof of one species turning into another and there never will be I guess most people think "the scientists are clever they must be right" - I love science - Recording results of experiments, repeating them to ensure the result is consistent - But these scientific methods cannot be applied to the "evolution theory" - They cannot retest the "evolution of the elephant" - There is no repeatable or testable aspect here - This results in theory on theory about "how it might have happened" - And these theories (which I alike to a series of star trek, entertaining but totally unbelievable) are now taught as fact!

“why, oh why do people ALWAYS have to thrown in religion so scientific facts…”

God made the world so He is relevant to a discussion about how the world came to be!

I am guessing that you would say christians are brainwashed deluded people … this is far from the truth – Christians are ordinary people who have had their eyes opened by God – As the bible says “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free”

The accuracy of the bible has been proved time and time again – The historical record of Babylon was ridiculed in the bible until the city was found! The bible predicts Israel would be gathered from the corners of the world and would once again become a people – This has happened according to the bible in the past 70 years despite the efforts of some to “wipe Israel from the face of the earth” – e.g. the 6 day war

Given this reliability are we not entitled as thinking people to assume that the bible is once again fully correct with respect to its account on the creation of the world?

As for being brainwashed I feel sorry for the thousands of inidividuals who have been fed the lie of evolution and fell for it – e.g. the diagrams used in biology textbooks to this day with respect to the human foetus are known to be inaccurate and the author has been recognised by scientists as “warping science” – yet the diagrams remain resulting in brainwashing with a lie – i will not even begin to mention the piltdown man deception, the failing to include cave paintings of dinosaurs in textbooks (this would ruin the evolution theory), i could go on but am just stating these things here as areas for you to research if you actually desire truth (some people are happy to go with the lie thinking that somehow following a lie will mean that they will not face God, some people are just honestly deceived)

As one evolutionist said (this is not a verbatim quote) “We are compelled to believe in Evolution, the alternative is Creation which is unthinkable”

Unthinkable to the man who doesn’t wish to stand before the Lord Jesus Christ on judgement day (but who will do regardless of his beliefs)

Evolution is flawed to the thinking man – Darwin himself says that the fossil record should contain numerous examples of “beings in the evolutionary process” – This was over 100 years ago – With all the fossils now discovered and still no “missing links” or anything the theory is ridiculous to believe – It certainly requires far less faith to believe the bible

Furthermore when Darwin put forward his theory he had no idea of the complexity of a single cell with its 6 feet of DNA entwined within it – Many people in the professional world do not believe in evolution but simply teach it or else there funding is stopped

I have no doubt that this post will be attacked but actually this post is only offensive to those who want it to be – Realise that this post is in love to guide you to the truth – The truth is there if you wish to know it – And I wish that anyone reading this come to the truth also

With regards plagues, I cant say this is an area I have studied – As with all christians I thoroughly acknowledge evolution within defined boundaries within the same species – However there has never been any proof of one species turning into another and there never will be

I guess most people think “the scientists are clever they must be right” – I love science – Recording results of experiments, repeating them to ensure the result is consistent – But these scientific methods cannot be applied to the “evolution theory” – They cannot retest the “evolution of the elephant” – There is no repeatable or testable aspect here – This results in theory on theory about “how it might have happened” – And these theories (which I alike to a series of star trek, entertaining but totally unbelievable) are now taught as fact! Once again the creator must be denied, we don’t want to have to answer to Him!

For those of you who actually seek the truth do a search on google for “evolution is a lie” – Read the quotes and comments of many educated men who realise the failings of the theory but are powerless to do anything until enough people in the academic world are brave enough to stand up and say “hold on a minute!” – of course this will result in their loss of job but better to lose a job than the truth (easy for me to say tho but some brave men have already done it)

This of course is all interesting but at the heart of the matter is will you accept Jesus as your saviour, making him the Lord of your life and acknowledging His position? – You don’t have to wait until you are good (we will never be good enough) – rather run to Him with open arms and He will accept you as you are (see the parable of the Prodigal Son in the bible) – The you can begin to learn his wonderful ways – Salvations waits for those who want it and it is open to all who would humble themselves before the Lord! :D
