On the subject of whether GMOs are righteous or not, let me say this : in the very first chapter of the Bible, in Genesis 1:28, God explicitly gives man control over every single other creature on Earth. There is nothing' in the Bible that says that man cannot modify God's creations. And the sentence "God made this planet perfect" is false. Earth is not in any way perfect, and it's not meant to be.

Also, humans have been genetically modifying plants ever since farming was developed. People would naturally plant the seeds from the best plants, and not use the worst ones, to let plants gain desirable trait over time. Also, if they further pursued genetic engineering, wouldn't it be possible to make a plant that could naturally ward off pests, and not require pesticides?
