Genetic Engineering, Theology, Nature

There is nothing in the concept of Evolution that precludes the possibility of a divine creator of Nature.  What the concept is antithetical to are the specific Theological theses that all Nature is coeval, and that there is nothing new under the sign.  Otherwise, human experimentation is no more 'unnatural' than the unprecedented emergence of opposable thumbs.  Similarly, the modification of human genes, even if in vain or harmful, is not, as some opponents present it, inherently evil, an evaluation that expresses only a specific Theological prejudice.
