This is the part that confuses me too.
If consciousness, intelligence, and reason were given to man by God, how is it wrong to use those gifts to assist in the creation of another gift from God?
Isn't it wrong not to acknowledge and consequently *use* those gifts?
To have those gifts but be prohibited from using them seems rather wasteful.
Okay, why not just grow children outside the womb all the way to conception, ala "Brave New World". Just man using his intelligence, right?
