   God was in control of things for er, 6000 years according to Fundies like   
   Addy.  As of about 1942 a simple scratch or thorn could cause death in a   
   matter of days.  Then sometime after the beginning of WWII scientists took   
   over and found a way to produce penicillin.  Science, not a god, found a way   
   to defeat death for minor injuries.   
      
   And before someone tries to correct me and say that Alexander Fleming   
   discovered it in 1928, it wasn't until WWII that it was actually used to   
   cure disease ravaged humans.  Besides its curative properties were   
   discovered as far back as 1875 by John Tyndall, or even rubbing the mold   
   into wounds as a Folk Medicine remedy during the Middle Ages.   
      
   Lauren Belfer just came out with a book, A Fierce Radiance, which is a   
   mystery story outlining the WWII experiments and production of penicillin.
