What is wrong with the Natural Way

I read this article and got a good chuckle. The basic gist is that people don't have time for sex anymore so they are getting IVF treatments done which have lots of risks for the woman and her body. While this is true, about the risks, what caught my eye was the idea that we are always trying to mess with what God has created.

In almost every area of our lives our society tends to do this. Let me give some examples.

1. Using food supplements that are not from food sources. Thinking you can supplement the body with something other than food which is what the body was designed to take in.

2. Cloning: trying to reproduce living kind in ways that we were not designed to recreate living beings

3. Genetically altering food that was created to be a certain way. Trying to improve on what was already created perfectly.

4. Trying to build buildings and cities in areas where weather patterns and conditions tell us we should not build.

These are just a few examples. I could go on and on. I decided i might start looking in my health and spiritual life and start evaluating where i am trying to make my own improvements on what was designed perfectly. Maybe you will do the same. Let me know what you come up with.

We in the west, have been so conditioned to "alter" and make things "better". Good point your making! If we could learn to accept a more natural way of living, a simpler way of living, I wonder if we then would realize how unnatural so much we interact with each day really is. Even our western churches fall into so much of this "fast and instant" society that we live in. ~vj
