Artificial and man-made are constructs of language that we devised in an attempt to distinguish human elements from nature because we think we are more important. But in fact, they are one in the same. Humans are part of nature. Therefore, what we do is part of nature. That's my opinion. And I believe that my opinion means more to me than it does to you.
if you can't tell... I'm just having fun with y'all lol

Being God and PLAYING God are two different things. I personally have not met anyone that can walk on water, turn water into wine, and raise people from the dead.
If you eat McDonald’s, you are eating fake/processed food. Your body will still digest it in the natural state it was designed to do, but your poop content will probably have more junk/non-organic matter. (Disclaimer: When I was eating 10 Big Mac’s once/week, this was for my bulking process, and my sh!ts did feel/smell/come out differently than days I didn’t consume this garbage.) Also, poop is not man-made in the sense that it’s artificial. It is produced by humans by a natural process and as a biological waste product, and is completely involuntary. I personally have not met anyone/company that purposely seeks out to artificially make sh!t.
Something mutating by evolution and through time versus genetically modifying it are two completely different things: the former is of nature and a natural process with no human interference, while the latter is humans purposely modifying an organism and trying to modify biology. In addition to my analogy of real/natural diamonds versus lab-grown diamonds, there is now lab-grown meat. I personally will only eat real/natural meat, not something that was genetically modified and artificially grown in a lab.
Another example is gender: if a man/woman undergoes a trans-operation, they are artificially trying to transform into a gender in which they are not biologically and of nature.
In response to your message in the white-color font, I’m having fun too. These debates are entertaining.
