Humans have been "creating" new creatures for 10,000 years. We're just getting better at it.
Secondly: why do you think that this or any other work with DNA or biogenesis is an attempt to "usurp the Creator?" Where do you read that these tens of thousands of scientists working in this field are all out to replace God?
So humans have been cutting DNA from one species and implanting it into another for 10,000 years? I don't think so.
"Secondly: why do you think that this or any other work with DNA or biogenesis is an attempt to "usurp the Creator?"
'Working' with DNA is one thing. Cutting DNA out of the cells of one species and implanting it into the cell of another in an attempt to 'invent' a new 'creature' (no matter the stated purpose) is an attempt to usurp the Creator (It is an attempt that will fail, of course. No one can usurp God.)
"Where do you read that these tens of thousands of scientists working in this field are all out to replace God?"
I didn't say anything about 'tens of thousands of scientists'. And of course, no one can replace God. Doesn't necessarily stop some people from attempting to be God though. And to do that is to commit evil.
