“To all Christians, this type of experimentation should be blasphemy of the worst kind.”
What is the argument using Biblical authority?
"And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good."
This is a mixing of things that shouldn't be mixed. No good can come from this and you don't need a Bible to know that. The Chinese Communists using this tech- the North Koreans- oh yes, Utopia here we come.
Man was created by God in His Image. (Even His only Son assumed that image). That means that Man ranks high above anything God created.(he even declares us to be his children)
Christian logic tells me that HE is not pleased with anyone messing with the DNA of his children.
I do not claim to be very smart but I want you to refute my logic, also based on biblical authority, please.
They are playing God.
This is the best verse the best verse that I can think of.
Jasher 4:18: “And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals.”
The serpent bribed Even by the promise that she will be like God.
Genesis 3: 1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”
4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”re pl3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made.

another example is the Tower of Babel. Nimrod was trying to raise himself above God.
3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
How about Genesis and the reason God removed man from the Garden..........lest they become Gods as us.
