It has to do not only with Craig Venter's work but what work like his could lead to. I personally hope it doesn't lead to support physicalism, but hopefully when scientists try to attempt alot of this stuff, God may put up some roadblocks that scientists will not be able to get around. Let me know what you all think. Thanks and God bless.

You might edit the topic to reflect that this has to do with genetic engineering of humans.
It is a very difficult subject to grapple with since we don't have a bible verse that says, "thou shalt mess with chromosomes" etc.
Rather than God intervening with another tower of Babel event, I believe God may well intervene with the 2nd coming of Christ.

This will certainly become a bigger issue as time goes by and more technology is developed.
I do try to stay in perspective about some of these things though. I've read different works, blogs, and articles by the "transhumanists" and a huge number of them are pretty... wacky, for the lack of a better word. There's some that think that what happened in the Terminator movies (man vs. machine) is imminent, there's others who think that humans will BE machines by 2020-2030. With a balanced perspective, it's not hard to see that these are huge leaps that aren't likely to happen.
Genetic engineering is still a real, immediate concern for Christians, of course.
