HEALTH: GMO and G+O+D

I am going to address an issue that is an assault on the health of the population of our entire country. GMOs

What's a GMO? (This quote is from ....................http://www.responsibletechnology.org/)

"A GMO (genetically modified organism) is the result of a laboratory process of taking genes from one species and inserting them into another in an attempt to obtain a desired trait or characteristic, hence they are also known as transgenic organisms. This process may be called either Genetic Engineering (GE) or Genetic Modification (GM); they are one and the same."



It has been said that GMO can also stand for God move over.

Quotes from responsibletechnology.org
"Genetic engineering is completely different from traditional breeding and carries unique risks."

"In traditional breeding it is possible to mate a pig with another pig to get a new variety, but is not possible to mate a pig with a potato or a mouse. Even when species that may seem to be closely related do succeed in breeding, the offspring are usually infertile—a horse, for example, can mate with a donkey, but the offspring (a mule) is sterile."

"With genetic engineering, scientists can breach species barriers set up by nature. For example, they have spliced fish genes into tomatoes. The results are plants (or animals) with traits that would be virtually impossible to obtain with natural processes, such as crossbreeding or grafting."

What combinations have been tried?
"It is now possible for plants to be engineered with genes taken from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals or even humans. Scientists have worked on some interesting combinations:

• Spider genes were inserted into goat DNA, in hopes that the goat milk would contain spider web protein for use in bulletproof vests.
• Cow genes turned pigskins into cowhides.
• Jellyfish genes lit up pigs' noses in the dark.
• Artic fish genes gave tomatoes and strawberries tolerance to frost.
• Potatoes that glowed in the dark when they needed watering.
• Human genes were inserted into corn to produce spermicide.
  
• Current field trials include:
• Corn engineered with human genes (Dow)
• Sugarcane engineered with human genes (Hawaii Agriculture Research Center)
• Corn engineered with jellyfish genes (Stanford University)
• Tobacco engineered with lettuce genes (University of Hawaii)
• Rice engineered with human genes (Applied Phytologics)
• Corn engineered with hepatitis virus genes (Prodigene)
  
  Currently Commercialized GM Crops in the U.S.:
  (Number in parentheses represents the estimated percent that is genetically modified.)
  Soy (91%)
  Cotton (88%)
  Canola (80-85%)
  Corn (85%)
  Hawaiian papaya (more than 50%)
  Alfalfa, zucchini and yellow squash (small amount)
  Tobacco (Quest® brand)"

I try to avoid all soy products. That's no easy task. I don't use canola oil (knowingly). But hey! Corn? I love corn products! Well this is certainly a problem.

Well, you can see that this is a huge undertaking and so far I have only scratched the surface.

"and God saw that it was good."

Genesis 1:11-12 NASB

11.Then God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation : plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them"; and it was so.
12.The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind ; and God saw that it was good.

Gen. 1:24-25 NASB

24.Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind : cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind "; and it was so.
25.God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind ; and God saw that it was good.

Gen. 1:27 NASB

27.God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

GEN. 1:31 NASB

31.God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

Well, God said that what He made was "very good" but man wants to be god. Who can fathom the sickness and ill health being brought upon the human race by these mad scientists?
