That's OK. There's plenty of support for Dean's suggestions.

> The world of germs and microbes has received much attention in recent years. But where do microbes fit into the creation account? Were they created along with the rest of the plants and animals in the first week of creation, or were they created later, after the Fall? These are some questions that creation microbiologists have been asking in recent years. Ongoing research, based on the creation paradigm, appears to provide some answers to these puzzling questions. 

> Some have postulated that microbes were created on a single day of Creation, such as Day Three - when the plants were made. This is partially due to the "seed-like" characteristics that bacteria and fungi have - therefore classifying microbes as plants. In addition, we observe microbes (such as Escherichia coli) isolated in the lab and we tend to think of microbes as individual entities much like birds or fish or animals and, therefore, created on a single day. 

> However, in nature, the vast majority of microbes live in biological partnerships, not in total isolation. The natural symbiosis of microbes with other creatures is the norm. Therefore, we postulate that microbes were created as "biological systems" with plants, animals, and humans on multiple days, as supporting systems in mature plants, animals, and humans.
