Hal Lindsey sees a connection between the corruption of all flesh in the days of Noah and the genetic engineering of species today. So do I. Jesus did not say it would be like in the days of Noah for nothing. God will not allow man to corrupt His creation with chimeras, clones and transhumanism. Read Hal’s article and also see my article on a related subject of Aliens.
According to Genesis 6:1-6, the “sons of God” intermarried with “the
daughters of men” and produced offspring that Genesis calls “giants” and “mighty
men of renown.” Genesis 6:9 records that Noah was found to be a “just” man and
“perfect in his generations,” i.e., untainted by the hybrid genes
introduced into the human bloodline. Genesis 6:12 says that by this time, “all
flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.”
God saved Noah and his family alive and destroyed the hybrid population by
sending the Flood.
When asked by His disciples to outline the signs of His return at the end of
the age, Jesus told them, “And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be
also in the days of the Son of man” (Luke 17:26). |

It is amazing that I came upon this site. in 2006 I completed a B.I.S. Bachelors of Interdisciplinary Studies Majoring in Health Science with an emphasis on research. I had two minor focus areas, one in psychology and one in religious studies. When God led me to take this path I did not understand why. I had always been very smart but I could not see what I could possibly do with Science, psychology and religion? While I studied my science curriculum, I also ended up learning the underbelly of genetics and genetic engineering. I actually participated in manipulating the genes of bacteria to make them resistant to certain antibiotics. It wasn’t until later that God revealed that he needed saved people in these fields that understood this type of science, to back up what people like you are saying. It is true, I have heard things that TV producer and Movie producers would probably laugh at! It sounds absolutely unbelievable but anything is possible.
Thanks for your input. Probably the main thing stopping man from creating genetic monstrosities is the law and conscience. However, we would be pretty gullible to think that this will stop evil people from using this knowledge to their own ends. Sooner rather than later God will have to put an end to man playing God with his creation without the necessary wisdom.
