My concern in this thread isn’t so much metmom’s opinion that gene mixing is evil, although I’d like to know where that view is supported in scripture.

There are a lot of things that are considered evil that aren't specifically mentioned in Scripture.

Smoking is one but is determined to be wrong on Scriptural principles.

Porn isn't mentioned in Scripture, but is generally recognized as wrong, again based on Scriptural principles.

Setting fire to animals isn't mentioned in Scripture but is considered wrong based on Scriptural principles.

Sheesh, saying that anything that is NOT specifically mentioned as prohibited in Scripture is OK is just asking for trouble.

Sure God could have specifically set down a whole long list of do's and don't's to keep up with technology, but He also gave us the brains and enough guidance through Scripture to discern that for ourselves without dictating volumes of do's and don't's to follow.

Mixing genetics doesn't work. Whether it's through natural mating, which produces sterile hybrids, or through deliberate manipulation with genetics which is beyond our ability to really understand and control.

The principles for keeping species genetically pure are found throughout Scripture and several of them have been given you, which you have off handedly dismissed.

Don't go complaining about lack of Scriptural support if you're going to choose to ignore it. It isn't that you haven't been given any, it's that you apparently don't like what you HAVE been given.

. . . saying that anything that is NOT specifically mentioned as prohibited in Scripture is OK is just asking for trouble.

Is that similar to 0bama’s “positive” rights versus The Constitution’s “negative” rights? It strikes me that the Holy Bible is neither a cookbook nor can it be looked upon as strictly speaking an operator’s manual.

It just seems that any time Man begins to think he is God, or believes he can begin to take on some of the attributes of God, then that is about the time Man gets slapped down pretty hard.

Just an impression . . . don’t know that there is any hard data.
