Genetically superior

[Hunter121]

While in biology class we learned that, scientist are literally so close to be able to be to pick the DNA of parents offspring, for example a woman is having a child and she would be able to choose what Color her kids hair is, if it's a boy or girl and making the child genetically superior, like its lung capacity, hand size, basically everything that makes you unique,it's hard to explain, but I was thinking Would the lord allow people to manipulate his power, I think not, so if the world would to end i think it would be soon, because technological advances like this, is manipulating gods power.

P.s. Can we get a science teacher, scientist etc. To explain this better

DNA is nothing more than a mechanism inherent to God's design. There is no reason to believe that God would prevent human beings from making choices concerning this knowledge any more than he prevented Cain from slaying Abel, or allowed Eve a free will decision in eating the fruit. We've already altered the genes of several plants and animals. No reason to believe it can't happen to people.

We could not alter God's design if we tried. If someone's DNA is altered then it is God's will. No human can be created without God for we are His. Humans do not, and never will, have the power to alter the intent of God. A human is a human. Even if there DNA is altered, they are still made from the things God created. They still have a soul and are still children of God. His power is absolute.

Do you flip light switches? How is it different. We have learned to manipulate all kinds of things God has given us...

Yeah, but humans, it just seems if we make humans in our eyes, what's left

This reminds me of a story...

A scientist says to God, "We don't need you anymore. Science has finally figured out a way to create life out of nothing. In other words, we can now do what you did in the beginning. We can take dirt and form it into the likeness of You and breathe life into it, thus creating man."

"Well that's interesting," says God." "Show Me." So the scientist bends down to the earth and starts to mold the soil. "Oh, no, no, no," interrupts God. "Get your own dirt."

[Vhayes]

You do realize we manipulate our bodies every time we take medications, every time we buy glasses, every time we get a tooth filled, right?

[TomH]

Let a scientist try this.

Haha I'm gonna remember that one

I remember a sci-fi story I read once. It was about how the whole universe is just a big experiment by God. It used the analogy of a petri dish. You put cultures of bacteria in a petri dish and let it grow. But around the edges of the dish is a poison. Once the bacteria reaches the edge it is killed off and the experiment is over.Maybe Genetics is the edge of this dish and once we learn to fully manipulate it THIS experiment is over. I'm not saying yea or nay to the idea but it is sort of interesting.

Every time you decide that you would rather marry and make babies with the hot foxy momma instead of the twisted deformed crone you are imposing your will in genetic selection over random chance.

I do feel a little iffy about the idea of going in and changing the dna of an unborn baby, partly because I can see it being one risky procedure, and partly because I'm not a big fan of messing with God's designs. My main issue with it though is all the researchers who are focusing more on figuring out what gene does what so they can actually abort babies with undesirable traits. There's a pretty well-known charity that supposedly advocates for a disorder that I have a mild version of, but their primary goal is really to "cure" the condition by preventing it from happening at all, which to them basically means finding the bit of dna that causes the condition and then aborting babies who have it. The sad part is, they're not the only ones who think that way. Simply going in and changing genetics though, I'm not too thrilled with the idea right now, but eh, as long as it's safe I think I could deal with it.
