Here in the U.S. we have a surplus of food. What would be the point of the GMOs beside more profit for the already rich? You don't think they'll be eating that crap, do you?
It seems obvious to me that this is yet another attack on nature from the so-called religious. Once these genes get mixed in with the natural variant the 'natural' ceases to exist. Playing God? No doubt.

I don't think any religion could offer a satisfactory reason; this simply wasn't thought of at that time.
The closest I can get is the old Leviticus law that said you shouldn't plant two different crops in the same field. I suppose it's along those lines, but I think the Bible was more concerned that people would cross tomatoes and corn or something lol.
But in all honesty, on a scientific level I think much more study should be done before we do this. Genetically altered meat sounds disgusting, and who knows what long-term effect it might have on us?

Most mutations are neutral. Nachman and Crowell estimate around 3 deleterious mutations out of 175 per generation in humans (2000). Of those that have significant effect, most are harmful, but a significant fraction are beneficial. The harmful mutations do not survive long, and the beneficial mutations survive much longer, so when you consider only surviving mutations, most are beneficial.

It may interest you to know also...it is easily determined that 99.99% of all mutatons are NOT beneficial to a species.....but are always harmful and detrimental to the development...a serious flaw in the assumed mechanism of evolution theory.
The assumption that mutations takes place too SLOW to observe is equally defective to anyone with even half a brain. Evoltuionist often hide behind this fallacy because they are unable to come up with any evidence since it certainly is not in the fossil record.
Evolutionist are always looking for a way to convince themselves of foolish things in spite of evidence to the contrary.
Evolutionists invent all sorts of things as they go along.....everytime something doesn't work out right they invent another theory to keep it current with the latest discovers which keep invalidating their last assumption....it is really laughable

I do. Why else would there be so many breeds of dogs?
I think it follows Christianity well enough. There are different races in people, so yeah. I think God did it to help us adapt to our enviroments.

I can't say anything about anything else, as i am uninformed on their beliefs, but There is nothing against it in the bible.
