In this case, it seems that God had very little to do with it. Not wanting to go all "tin-foil hat" here but Bergdorfer was clearly a "spook" (read the book "Bitten" sometime) and he arguably developed the Lyme's bacterium as part of an ongoing millitary bioweapons program that's been in operation since the days of "Operation Paperclip" at the end of WWII. Google a few of those buzzwords and see what you find.
"Lyme's Disease" is called that because Lyme, Connecticut is just a few miles offshore from Plum Island (and the government's "Animal Disease Research Center" that is located there), and because ticks like birds too. Dr. Eric Traub was one of the many scientists involved in the Nazi war machine that "Operation Paperclip" helped bring to the United States after the end of the war (Wernher von Braun was another). He worked at Plum Island for many years on his specialty of "vectoring diseases using insects".
