Why would you need to know “what heals”? If you get sick, isn’t that just God acting? If God won’t heal you, why would you presume that you should learn and do anything on your own to circumvent His will?

Where do you draw the line between accepting the way God has made us, and trying to improve upon your lot in life by eating right, or exercising, or treating wounds?

I wouldn’t be so strident in my response, except that you started by suggesting that genetically modified foods were somehow in opposition to God.

SO I’m wondering what exactly you think we are allowed to do ourselves, in what ways are we allowed to use the intelligence God has given us?

In my opinion, when God told us to have dominion over things, that included DNA. We are to be responsible, but I don’t see the very nature of genetic manipulation to be in opposition to God’s will, much less an attempt to do “better” than God, any more than wearing a knee brace or putting pressure on a wound would be an attempt to “do better” than what God created.

We ARE God’s creation, and what we do can be part of God’s will, as he gave us the ability to do these things.
