You know, there are parallels with the Tower of Babel and man's desire to usurp God and show daddy that they don't need Him anymore. Look at our achievements, they say! Are we not Gods now?
My only problem with this argument is that we can say it for all technology. Like....i dunno....eye glasses. God said we should be blind as a bat at 31. Why are we going against his instructions??!!one one
God gave us our industriousness and and inexhaustible spirit, then said Love Each Other and Don't Be Stupid. Technology isn't inherently bad, just the way it's being used stupidly and without love for our fellow man.
Nobody is claiming that medical advancements aren't beneficial and the knowledge not a gift from God. However, the issue I refer to is the tampering with DNA and the ongoing war for our DNA that Q references in drop 4966:
These cretins are attempting to mold man in their own image because they are mad at God and think they can do better. They want to rewrite the literal language of life that's coded into all human beings and animals and turn it into a bastardized image of their own making.
Just as the Tower of Babel was man's attempt at bridging Heaven and Earth. They thought that they could simply reach Heaven under their own power and ingenuity. They were trying to hack the system that God created. The story ends accordingly...
Except we have done gene editing since forever. We just did it the hard way. You want the tastiest beef? Well, we spent thousands of generations getting there. You want a Yorkie? Same amount of time breeding a wolf into four brittle sticks that yap.
Don't get me wrong, I like both tasty beef and Yorkies. I just don't lie to myself about how we got them.
God gave us this world to rule over, from the very beginning per Genesis 1:26. As long as we aren't trying to breach heaven and usurp His authority (Babel's goal), we are not out of our bailiwick to change what's here.
Now, using it to hurt others? That's against his further wishes on how we are to treat animals earth, and each other.
Also there is technology that doesn't involve DNA/RNA per se but is presented as a "blessing" to help mankind and then within time is turned against mankind...robotics is just one example, but you also see it with AI. Truthfully you have to draw the line somewhere and that seems to be the problem. There is no end in sight to man's creativity and what we think will be used for good can be turned against us. But I surely recognize the benefits of different technology and inventions. It is certainly a double-edged sword.
I agree with you Fren, but the core aspect here is intent. As demonstrated via the likes of Hirari, they are seeking to become gods over man. Transhumanism IS their ultimate goal. The goal to separate us from the very thing that connects us to God in the flesh. They'd also wish to destroy the spirit or soul as well. This is the crux of the issue.
I get your point but eye glasses don’t change your dna so there’s a difference. When technology takes the place of God or has the potential to alters His perfect design is when we have an issue. IMO glasses are just a tool invented by man.
God didn't make a perfect design. He made us imperfect but in His image. If we weren't flawed, we wouldn't have all the troubles we put ourselves into.
If glasses are a tool, what is animal husbandry? Either, we have to stay the way we were made - because God's design is perfect - or he gave us rule over the physical. I believe the latter because the Book says so, and is reinforced by Jesus' statement about dividing Ceaser's belongings and God's.
“Gen1. Everything that God created, formed, and made was perfect; the light and the darkness, the land and the sea, the plants, the sun, moon, and stars, the fish, the birds, the animals, and the man and woman.”
Sin is what made us imperfect and temptation is what led us there. God did not invent sin nor did he create us with a purpose to sin. Gods design IS perfect but we have to overcome the ego. If we only we would fully submit to Gods Will we would once again be made perfect in his image.

Humans have got it all figured out, right?

Cancer and death-causing bioweapons within a syringe come to mind...
