I think that considering those things sin is a bit over the top, but I don't think that man's fooling with the genetics of plants and animals is an improvement over God's creation. Seedless watermelons, oranges and grapes are probably not as good for you as the unaltered varieties.

Every food you eat has been altered by man to some degree or the other. If you wanted to grow a garden, every seed you could buy is hybred seed. You cannot grow a crop next year from the seeds you harvest this year. The mega-agricultural giants (ei: Cargil, ConAgra etc.) make sure you have to come back to them next year to buy more seeds.

I remember my grandma used to save the seeds from her biggest tomatoes, potatoes and other veggies to plant next year. You can't do that anymore, because the seeds you buy have been selectively cross-pollenated (sic) to produce certain desired characteristics. Once they have been altered, they rarely reproduce.

God said in creation, let everything produce: "...after his kind". I have at my farm, an equine that is half horse and half donkey, but it will not reproduce. Why? Because God set a law in the earth: "Let everything produce after his/their kind."

There's lots more I could say on this subject, but It is way too big for this forum.

There are a lot of seeds that are out there that you can save. You just have to buy the organic or heirloom ones. I used to saved my seeds and replant them the next year and had no problem growing them.
