Why do people think it is OK to create nuclear reactions? Are we GOD?

Question

the fabric of creation is nothing to toy with!! even einstien mentioned this fact. Why are we doing this and why is it becoming accepted behavior?

I'm not saying this does not occur on the sun. Or that it doesn't happen naturally in the cosmos. I'm saying we don't have a clue and we mess with cosmic forces. Do you think that is Ok? what if we accidently induced something the likes of what occurs on the sun?

Answer 1

I'm sorry; I am not aware of any religion that forbids splitting the atom. There is nothing that I know of in the Bible that forbids this, and I have never heard anyone quote from either the Qur'an or any other holy scripture to forbid nuclear power. And where did you get the idea that Einstein didn't approve of nuclear power?

Answer 2

Well, it's hardly messing with the fabric of creation. It's not something that doesn't occur completely naturally, just look up at the sun. At any given instant, billions, if not trillions, of nuclear reactions occur every second. If your argument is why we continue to practice fission (The breaking apart of atoms), which also produces huge amounts of radioactive waste, you might have a point in that it can be very polluting.
Also, nuclear weapons, which Einstein did have an issue with, are also currently used for purposes their designers did not intend.
Keep in mind most of the research is going into fusion, where two hydrogen nuclei combine together to form a Helium. Very harmless reactions if used properly.

Answer 3

If you want to bring up a scientific subject more in line with ethics and morality, personally I would bring up the subject of cloning before fission any day.

Answer 4

and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it:
