We all think we are the first to employ gene editing. This is far from the truth. The Canaanites lived for 8 millennia in the same cities in the Jordan River valley, engaged in gene editing. Why did empires come and go, while the Canaanites were left alone? Because everyone realized that it was the homeland of purebred breeds whose descendants were special. Everyone drew upon that genetic pool. Was “special” society-defined? Of course, it involved great height, strength and intelligence. What happened to them? First the Moabites and the Ammonites displaced half of them in the 1800 BC time frame, and then Joshua finished off the other half in the 1400BC time frame, under strict orders to not leave a shred of DNA alive. It remained for David to mop up pockets that existed at Gath and other Philistine cities in the 1000 BC time frame. Why the drastic orders? Because gene editing is in danger of removing the soul. It isn’t just the devil that can take it. Which is yet another reason for not getting involved in CRISPR editing.
The other reason being the Flood.

Please tell me you are joking. |

1) After all these years, it’s sort of refreshing to find new lunacy.
2) I’ve seen creationists claim lots of things about Ye Olde Flud, and I shouldn’t be surprised at any claim about its powers, but how the hell is drowning the planet related to CRISPR?
