The proper distinction between atheism, atheist and Christian.

Genesis 101:

1. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

2. Man was created uniquely to be a steward (a willful manager under a Master aka God) over all creation.

3. Man rebelled against the will of the Master.

4. God immediately shares the consequences to all parties: man becomes mortal, stewardship becomes labor and childbirth becomes labor. God withdraws his provenance over man’s domain aka creation/nature.

5. The last consequence, the first Gospel message in the Bible, was that the “seed of the woman” would crush the serpent.

But how can coronavirus be man’s fault if it just arose naturally in other animals?

One man’s actions (Adam) resulted in a fallen creation aka nature. The "new" man's actions (Jesus) resulted in redeeming (literally “buy back”) man and the end game: new heaven and new earth. Isaiah 65:17-19, Isaiah 66:22, 2 Peter 3:10-13, Revelation 21 where the wolf shall dwell with the lamb … Isaiah 11:6-9

Until that happens nature is metal; not moral.
