When I first became a Christian some thirty-five years ago, the topic of genetically redesigning life was still considered science fiction. While predictions were being made about the possibility of designing chimera-like hybrids of monstrous proportions, the reality of that happening seemed far off in the future.<\/p>\n

Not so today. Quoting from a recent Russian news article titled \u201cHuman-animal Hybrids, Disasters in the Making,\u201d the following statement is made:<\/p>\n

Scientists worldwide are creating bizarre human-animal hybrids that could wreak havoc on society. In the past ten years alone, unforgettable advances in the field of genetic modifications have left researchers and on-lookers stunned. To give a concrete example, scientists have made mice with an artificial human chromosome \u201cin every cell of their bodies\u201d. Such an act is being praised as a \u201cbreakthrough\u201d which may lead to different cures for a wide scope of disease. . . University of Wisconsin researchers have had much success by transferring cells from human embryos into the brains of mice. These very cells began to grow, and in time made the mice more intelligent. 1<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While this may sound bizarre to some, the fact mankind is tinkering with life comes as no surprise to those who have read the Bible. The Bible states that God is the creator of all life. In the beginning, all life was created perfect (Genesis 1:26). The Bible also clarifies that God has an adversary\u2014Satan\u2014who hates God and His creation. Satan\u2019s goal from the beginning has been to destroy or contaminate the original creation. Click here <\/a>to read this entire article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
