This was a very interesting perspective. I have never looked at it this way before. Nature has ways of protecting itself and you don't want to mess with a lot of the insects, reptiles, and some plants, etc. that can harm you.

I have sensitivities and/or allergies to countless drugs, foods, animals, pollen, trees, dust, etc. No way do I want to risk my life by having some known or unknown substance injected into my body! God knew what he was doing when he created us and our immune system. We just have to take care of our bodies so that our bodies can take care of us. Sitting around all day eating doughnuts and potato chips and drinking beer isn't going to build up our immune system. We have got to eat lots of fruits and veggies, get plenty of sunshine, exercise and clean drinking water to stay healthy.

People thinking that somehow human beings are so perfect and so infallible that anything they make from chemicals and unnatural substances is perfectly safe, leaves me dumbfounded.

This is it in a nutshell. We've been trying to "conquer nature" for centuries now, and biology is the next frontier. They're perfectly willing to break a few eggs in the process.
