Scientists have achieved a breakthrough by creating a "woolly mouse". A genetic innovation that moves them closer to "resurrecting" the mammoth. While hailed as a marvel of modern biotechnology, this development also invites reflection on humanity’s attempts to alter God’s perfect creation. The Bible reminds us that life is divinely ordained (Genesis 1:27) and that our role is to steward, not remake, the intricate design of creation.
This scientific feat exemplifies the tension between human innovation and divine order. As researchers push the boundaries of genetic manipulation, many Christians are cautioned against the hubris of playing God. The true wonder of life lies in the Creator’s handiwork, and no amount of human ingenuity can fully restore or improve upon what God originally designed. Such advancements, while impressive, should prompt believers to weigh progress against the eternal truth of God’s Word.
In the midst of rapid technological advances, the church is called to maintain a balanced perspective that the ultimate authority over life and death is in the hands of God. We must remember that true resurrection and eternal life comes only through Jesus Christ, the Living God. READ MORE
