Genetic engineering (GE) is the practice of altering or disrupting the genetic blueprints of living organisms. Think of trees, plants, fish, animals, microorganisms and humans who are no more a true species but now bits and pieces of something else, outside of their own natural species line.
The Creator did not cross different species with each other. Man is crossing the species line in the laboratory. Fish genes are now in tomatoes, bananas have no seeds, a bacterium pesticide is in the DNA of corn and the list goes on and on.
What are these altered crops doing to the soil? What are these crops doing to human health? What is the consequence to the very crops and animals that have had their DNA changed forever? Take the tiniest spider in his web, is there anything more beautiful? Or corn pollen that scatters from silky hairs to wrapped corn kernels within a cob. The pollen slides down the silks and pollinates each and every corn kernel. Why would one poison a plant and let it fertilize itself with its own toxic pesticide pollen? In turn we eat the toxic corn. This was not the way it was intended.
German researchers have found antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the guts of bees feeding on gene-altered rapeseed (canola) plants. Wind, rain, birds, bees and insect pollinators have been carrying genetically altered pollen to adjoining fields, including organic and non-GE fields.
In 1999, we learned from Cornell University that GE Bt corn killed the monarch butterfly. According to Food, Inc. a must see film, there is a growing body of evidence that GE crops are also affecting other beneficial insects included ladybugs and lacewings, as well as beneficial soil microorganisms, bees, and possibly birds (Weber, 2009).
Scientists in Oregon found that GE soil microorganism, Klebsiella planticola, completely killed essential soil nutrients.
