No. We don't know what we would create by tampering with God's creation. We must respect God and it could become ghoulish.
There is a line that can be crossed that man has a habit of crossing. I don't trust all scientists because we are inept by what we could create.
Knowledge can be a good or bad thing. We must consider what the end result could be. Man has made many mistakes in the past tinkering around with nature. To give free reign on the scientists would lead to some disasterous results if it came down to an all out acceptance of creation with no limits.
You people never, and I mean never, think through the implications of your rants.
What do you call a dog? A cow? A chicken? The sort of tomato or apple you buy in the produce department? By your very words and logic, the result of "tampering with God's creation". Yet you have no problem with those things.
See? (of course you don't, but some less obtuse readers will)
You actually have no problem with such tampering. But you don't like the idea of, say, resurrecting the sabre-tooth. Yet since you have no idea why you oppose this, you just make up an excuse, without thinking through the implications of your pronouncement.
Your life is just a series of incoherent, logically-contradictory claims you desperately try to shoe-horn into some sort of logic but which are nothing but your own needy demands that have nothing at all in common except that you want them, in the same way a bawling two-year-old wants a cookie.
But, at least with the two-year-old we know it will probably mature and stop being so self-centered and obnoxious. You? A lost cause, I am afraid.
Science has eradicated smallpox. Variola minor and variola major, the viruses that cause smallpox, still exist. The infectious disease smallpox does not exist. It could, conceivably, again, but it does not now and it has not since September 1978 (the death of the last victim of the now-eliminated disease).
These viruses do exist in laboratories as samples of the disease. There is a factor that man can use germ warfare against other men.
We also have a laboratory that stores seeds if we lose any species of plants to preserve that which could be eraticated by some means of plague or disease. This is a positive plan for the protection of man.
Man has sometimes created problems with introducing certain plants in regions that have taken over an area. Also man can transport species of bugs and insects in areas that are problematic.. Killer bees and fire ants come to mind. And this is in the natural course without resurrecting a species.
There is a huge problem in the scientific community where many think they are God. They are responsible for some of the biggest disasters of mankind. Animals go extinct for a reason and it's not all because of humans. Bringing them back will most likely put them in the position that they always find themselves in. A Progress Trap. Look it up...

You are the ranter. Stay on subject and stop attacking with your rant. Very immature on your part.
Are you talking about hybrid fruit , blending two different species? Or grafting two trees together such as a tree that produces tangelos and red oranges. Mild compared to what a scientist could do in tampering with the more intricate copying of a live species .
I have no problem with it and no most scientists don't think they are God. Its about 50/50 as well for those that do and dont believe in God or a higher power.

Just have to point out, that hybrid fruit and breeding of animals is tampering with live species. But bringing back Dodo birds is tampering with an EXTINCT species.
At least we know that scientists exist.
Can't say that for the god thingie.
