Opponents say mixing even a tiny amount of human genetic material with that of an animal is unnatural and wrong.
wow, i guess God messed up when he allowed chimps and humans to share 95% of their DNA huh?
1. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes while chimpanzees have 24. Evolutionary scientists believe that one of the human chromosomes has been formed through the fusion of two small chromosomes in the chimp instead of an intrinsic difference resulting from a separate creation. 2. At the end of each chromosome is a string of repeating DNA sequences called a telomere. Chimpanzees and other apes have about 23 kilobases (a kilobase is 1,000 base pairs of DNA) of repeats. Humans are unique among primates with much shorter telomeres only 10 kilobases long.7 3. While 18 pairs of chromosomes are ‘virtually identical’, chromosomes 4, 9 and 12 show evidence of being ‘remodeled.’5 In other words, the genes and markers on these chromosomes are not in the same order in the human and chimpanzee. Instead of ‘being remodeled’ as the evolutionists suggest, these could, logically, also be intrinsic differences because of a separate creation. 4. The Y chromosome in particular is of a different size and has many markers that do not line up between the human and chimpanzee.1 5. Scientists have prepared a human-chimpanzee comparative clone map of chromosome 21 in particular. They observed ‘large, non-random regions of difference between the two genomes.’ They found a number of regions that ‘might correspond to insertions that are specific to the human lineage.’3
Could be it was planned, so we could have a model and learn how to mix and match our own.
The Lord works in mysterious ways and we are not privileged with his methods or reasons (though a lot of loudmouthed fools believe they are).
OR:
We can take the approach that if it ain't specifically stated as such in the bible, then man ain't supposed to tinker with it, ya know.
After all, if God had meant you to fly he's a give you wings!
Jest a'cause yaw;ll wented ta skuwl and lurnt 'bout germs an microvaves an qwaddradic eekwasions and jeans and dee-un-ay don't make what ya lurnt what God wants usens to be a doin. Yaw'll needs ta stay outen them aireoplanes and stop tinkerin with artifisul birthin! It's in the bible.

Then again, all those space aliens that I'm told have been dropping in on Earth for hundreds of thousands and millions of years and playing with the environment and the biology like it was their own little laboratory (and, according to some, actually brought life here to start with) are probably the evil critters that put them chimp genes in us (or is it the other way round)?
Hell, after all, if they have a way to defy Lorentz' contraction and circumvent relativity and get here in the first place, isn't it obvious they could tinker with whatever they wanted? (What always bothers me though: why would they?)
