This is a "sin" attributed to humanity. "Obviously".

In the case of animals it is a mixing of animals that violates the principle of Genesis 1 - where each animal produces offspring after its kind.

We see see that mankind "amalgamates" animals together in the form of donkeys and horses mixed to get mules. However - the "Sin" of amalgamation of the animals - implies a kind of genetic engineering that goes even beyond that.

In the case of humans. It is much easier to get from the Genesis 6 account as we see the "amalgamation" between the children of Seth and the Children of Cain. The People of God with the children of rebellion.

What the NT calls "being unequally yoked" in a way that compromises your stand for the truth of God's Word.

Every species of animal which God had created were preserved in the ark. The confused species which God did not create, which were the result of amalgamation, were destroyed by the flood. Since the flood there has been amalgamation of man and beast, as may be seen in the almost endless varieties of species of animals, and in certain races of men. Spiritual Gifts, Vol. 3, p. 75

Again the focus is on those animal species that God created (in fact distinctly focused on "animal species" that God Created). The point of man - playing with genetics in the animal kingdom is -- very timely. Animals mixed with animals in a way that genetically alters the offspring resulting in confused species.

In addition - we see the results of Genesis 6 - Humans mixing with humans - where the people of God lose their understanding of truth by mixing with the children of rebellion in marriage. The results were seen in Ellen White's day - in people groups living to an average age of 40, cannibals, living unsanitary lives and devoid of all knowledge of God. How far they fell from the 8 that came out of the Ark.

Of course - I know that the Catholics here have to "pretend" not to understand these points. But as long as they do - they provide opportunity to futher sharpen the point made.

In Christ,

Bob
