I will note that if you go on about Luciferin, you're off your rocker. Exogenous proteins do not last long-term, vaccines have a long-term effect because your T-Cells develop a response to the active materials in vaccines. If Luciferin is involved, it's just going to fluoresce for a month or two until it breaks down.

Seriously, Fireflies: their light is from a pathway using Luciferin to make light.

edit: "BUT WHY IS IT NAMED AFTER THE DEVIL?!" NO, that's not how language works. in Hebrew it's something more like phonetically said as 'hey-lale', but the point is that was the name before the fall. It roughly translates to the Light Bringer. This protein emits light, so the etymology is clear. A thing that brings light forth.
