If anything, “species” are getting weaker and less able to adapt because of loss of the original information encoded in each kind.

The left always attempts to conflate issues and obscure what we actually oppose.
It’s a form of “straw man” argument.

Umm, I dunno... I remember this one time in Hoboken... I was REALLY drunk, see, and there was this...
Oh... wait.. Never mind. That was the infamous “Hoboken Hooker Incident”...
We don’t talk about that anymore...

That simple and clear is it? Who knew?
Well now at least I can dispense with the book of Job.

You do sarcasm quite well! ;-P
I am expressing uncertainty - that equating man’s meanderings in genetic manipulation with those allowed and sustained by nature appears to me to be overreaching, dipping into man’s non-extant well of omnipotence.
Simple and clear? Not at all. Muddy and complex - absolutely.
Job was God proving a point to the Devil.

I certainly can agree with your sentiments but I am still unconvinced as to the arbitrary limits that you put man’s quest. were we playing God when we went to the moon? were we playing God when we gave Dick Cheney a new heart? Were we playing God when we cured polio in children?
Somehow I’m not sure that
these “limits “ are what God cares so much about. I rather think that it is eternal principles that matter.

We actually do not disagree - but I sense I am more cautious in exploring the edges of human abilities than you may be.
It would be better to know more - although that does not mean it is wrong to proceed. I just don’t believe we know enough to know what we don’t know.

The idea that long giraffe necks resulted from from the more successful/long-necked giraffes having more offspring than those with shorter necks was first proposed by Darwin, which only proves that Darwin didn't know much about giraffes. The average male giraffe has a neck about a foot longer than the average female giraffe. If only the longest-necked giraffes survived to have offspring, the females would have died out quickly, making the giraffes extinct. Whatever the reason for giraffes having long necks, it doesn't support Darwin's theory. Which is not an argument that natural selection doesn't exist, but only that one must beware of"just so" stories.

one must beware of"just so" stories. The other problem with micro-evolutionary theory is that there is no fossil evidence for it, contrary to Darwin's prediction.
The fossil record shows stasis in species. Species exit the fossil record the way they came in.
