d) 'Whether you believe in God or not, it is dangerous to mess with nature.' In your answer you should refer to Christianity.
i) Do you agree? Give reasons for your opinion. (3)
ii) Give reasons why some people may disagree with you (3)
I do believe it is dangerous to mess with nature because there is alot we do not know yet, we do not yet know the long term effects of things such as genetic engineering. Secondly Christians believe only God has the right to create and destroy life, nothing good can come from us interfering with nature, to expand on this, an example of how this can lead to bad things would be the development of biological weapons.
Some liberal christians may disagree with me because God has given humans dominion over the Earth and everything within it, this includes genes, nature and everything inbetween. Humans can use things such as genetic engineering to help many people, for example genetically modified crops that can survive in harsh conditions can be made to end famine in the world.
I have a question.... How is it that you expand a reason? And how does this differ to developing a reason? Is there even a difference?
