THE ROMANS 11:24 (RSV)
For if you have been cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree.

Scientific knowledge nowadays, have realized the potential harm that can be caused by harsh human intervention in nature. Notice the emphasis of these products on non-GMO, for example.



The Institute for Responsible Technology (IRT) has been writing about the dangers of GMO foods. (Ref: http://www.responsibletechnology.org/gmo-dangers).GMO stands for genetically modified organism defined in the dictionary as “the result of a laboratory process where genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and artificially forced into the genes of an unrelated plant or animal. The foreign genes may come from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals or even humans.”

Are they safe?

The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) doesn’t think so. The Academy reported that “Several animal studies indicate serious health risks associated with GM food,” including infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, faulty insulin regulation, and changes in major organs and the gastrointestinal system. The AAEM asked physicians to advise patients to avoid GM foods.

Before the FDA decided to allow GMOs into food without labeling, FDA scientists had repeatedly warned that GM foods can create unpredictable, hard-to-detect side effects, including allergies, toxins, new diseases, and nutritional problems. They urged long-term safety studies, but were ignored.

The report said some of the findings of the AAEM include:

• (1)Thousands of sheep, buffalo, and goats in India died after grazing on Bt cotton plants;
  
• (2) Mice eating GM corn for the long term had fewer, and smaller, babies;
  
• (3) More than half the babies of mother rats fed GM soy died within three weeks, and were smaller;
  
• (4)Testicle cells of mice and rats on a GM soy change significantly;
  
• (5) By the third generation, most GM soy-fed hamsters lost the ability to have babies;
  
• (6) Rodents fed GM corn and soy showed immune system responses and signs of toxicity;
  
• (7) Cooked GM soy contains as much as 7-times the amount of a known soy allergen;
  
• (8)Soy allergies skyrocketed by 50% in the UK, soon after GM soy was introduced;
  
• (9)The stomach lining of rats fed GM potatoes showed excessive cell growth, a condition that may lead to cancer. Studies showed organ lesions, altered liver and pancreas cells, changed enzyme levels, etc.

As seen in the report, interventions in the studies involved Bt cotton plants, corn, soy, and potatoes. The report further said –

Unlike safety evaluations for drugs, there are no human clinical trials of GM foods. The only published human feeding experiment revealed that the genetic material inserted into GM soy transfers into bacteria living inside our intestines and continues to function. This means that long after we stop eating GM foods, we may still have their GM proteins produced continuously inside us.

Implications for interventions point to super diseases, but that is not all. The point is that such diseases are not within easy control of man. Studies hypothesize on GM corn, for example, and lay down the problem: turning intestinal bacteria into living pesticide factories. Here is the last part of the report –

If the antibiotic gene inserted into most GM crops were to transfer, it could create super diseases, resistant to antibiotics. If the gene that creates Bt-toxin in GM corn were to transfer, it might turn our intestinal bacteria into living pesticide factories. Although no studies have evaluated if antibiotic or Bt-toxin genes transfer, that is one of the key problems. The safety assessments are too superficial to even identify most of the potential dangers from GMOs.

What does the Bible say?

PSALMS 94:9
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?

Even the godless Charles Darwin admits that it is absurd to think that the complexity of the functions of the human eye could have been formed by natural selection! (Ref: Charles Darwin, “On the Origin of Species, Chapter 6 – Difficulties on Theory, p.80)

ORGANS OF EXTREME PERFECTION AND COMPLICATION.
To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree.

Mathematical exactness cannot be determined by mutation and evolution. Mutation, as science knows it, is a kind of accidental mishap. How can it be logically and scientifically possible that the billion cells in the human body have exactly 46 chromosomes each – if there is no designer? Take note that with the exception of the sperm cell of a male person having only 23 chromosomes and the egg cell of a female person also having the same number, the combinations are necessary to make up 46 chromosomes that will start a new cell life – an exact one half coming from the father and an exact one half coming from the mate, having the exact number, and exact codes of information to pass on character traits to the offspring.



Some warm little pond, natural selection, survival of the fittest elimination of the unfit, or the whole idea of evolution cannot put all these things together with mathematical preciseness! The following are excerpts from LiveScience.com (Ref: http://www.livescience.com/474-controversyevolution-works.html) -

In the first edition of “The Origin of Species” in 1859, Charles Darwin speculated about how natural selection could cause a land mammal to turn into a whale. As a hypothetical example, Darwin used North American black bears, which were known to catch insects by swimming in the water with their mouths open:

“I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale,” he speculated.

The idea didn’t go over very well with the public. Darwin was so embarrassed by the ridicule he received that the swimming-bear passage was removed from later editions of the book.

Here is that part from Darwin –

Random mutations resulted in at least one whale having its nostrils placed farther back on its head. Those animals with this adaptation would have been better suited to a marine lifestyle, since they would not have had to completely surface to breathe. Such animals would have been more successful and had more offspring. In later generations, more mutations occurred, moving the nose farther back on the head.

Other body parts of early whales also changed. Front legs became flippers. Back legs disappeared. Their bodies became more streamlined and they developed tail flukes to better propel themselves through water.

The term random mutation is unacceptable to a real scientific mind! At the same time it is squarely unbiblical!

22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

While it is true that mutation happens among living things, random mutation is likely impossible in the vast periods of time that have passed. The perpetuation of a particular species is dictated and preserved in the DNA. So pollution, radiation, and harmful chemicals that may cause mutations are not as common and extant in the distant past when allegedly evolution started as it is nowadays! More so, random mutation! Hence, 23 plus 23 equals 46 cannot be a formula determined by random mutation. I must emphasize that even the godless Darwin said that “It is absurd to think that the human eye is formed by natural selection!” Darwin is much, much, much, much, much better in thinking than atheists of today!

You really could break this down until it holds no truth. Radiation is part of existence in this universe and its natural laws. Everywhere is the cosmos and it is everywhere. Time is the very thing that gives these things the infinite possibilities to occur (life.)

Yeah well I'm going to keep on eating gmo foods as long as selective breeding hasn't hurt me this far and those ever ripe tomatoes haven't arose  from the dead and cut my face up as well, thanks for the warning in advance , but I'll stick with the enhanced foods program if you will . God knows we need more food in a ever increasing populated world and good ole fashion farming prob isn't going to perform like it used to .

We dont need more food. We need less animal food. There is a gigantic surplus of food on the planet right now. If it wasnt for certain countries thrist for meat, and we didnt slaughter 80 billion animals a year, we would have so much food to go around.

This is not to say I try to avoid meat because I care about the animal, I kind of do, but the main reason we need a shift in the American diet to plants over all other things is because it takes many times over pounds of feed (corn) to a pound of meat. Its like 24lbs of corn to 1lbs of Beef. Not to mention the water conversion, which is like 80gallons to 1lbs of beef. GMO's will have their issues along the way, but its not goign to be an issue that can't solved. Calorie dense food over nutritionally dense food is not a problem we can't fix either, but we need to fix it now.




Animal proteins is our cause of cancer, higher blood pressure, cholestrol, fats, and a poor microboime in our gut.

If it wasn't for your amount of posts, i'd guess troll and never have posted. Truth is people who understand what most of us (atheists) do, do not need an answer. We are discovering them as we progress along and seek out the truths. We look down on most people who have the tie to a greater power as watered down fear and ignorance. Its caused many more problems than it has ever solved. It was born out of greed my friend, not corrupted by it. The very thing you call free will is in fact your chains. Wrapped around your mind so tightly it isn't bound unwillingly, but bound unknowingly, a slave to a fantastically inconsistent and horrible story. Me not believing in a place where friends, family and equally innocent strangers burn forever in lakes of hell for (insert reason here.) Is freedom of fear of death AND existence.

I choosed partially in honest manner, I get your point of views as a citizen in the west with a keen observation & i agree that most religious groups(specially originated there) in our time teach it in a black & white manner for self-benefit specially for the love of money, creating fear among men instead of teaching it not to loose hope, faith, & love. That it is dying, and we actually consider it as long been burried for a long time as a country in the east though its finnaly reviving in our part.

we may have different spiritual beliefs but i really appreciate you, specially have mentioned those chem-ferts, pill for every ill, symbiosis diversiry, care for life forms, and not good animal protien diet,

Speaking of all those that mentioned above. In a grand picture We as a part of symbiosis are not actually carnivores, omnivores, granivores, pure vegetarian(herbivore) but are frugivore.
Ive gradually switched to more fruits and veg diets for good, after suffering weakened kidneys.
