Is my post or the parent somehow committing this fallacy? I explicitly used the same verb for genetic modification on behalf of both subjects: man and nature. The distinction between the subjects is because bacteria and insects ('nature') will devour all of humankind's nutritional resources if people don't continually labor to prevent it. It's a speciesist distinction, but not a fallacious one.

I don't think it is reasonable to assume anything but heat death will win the resource battle in this universe.
