Just as with everything that is new and improved and saves time . . . there are what is euphemistically termed, "unintended consequences." I can't say whether the consequences are unintentional or simply inconsequential to the powers that be.
Logic tells us, when something is a matter of life or death, survival mode kicks into high gear. Now, let's apply that to our ideas of progress. If something is manufactured to kill and destroy something that grows naturally, the natural vitality of that organism will adapt if at all possible to survive the onslaught or attack of it's very existence. It's not survival of the fittest, as the Darwinians would have you believe, it is the fight to survive. Now add the extra variable that humanity has taken upon itself to operate outside of the order of creation, and we're making some monumental monstrous messes.
A caterpillar that eats cabbage, can be a definite pest, but when the cabbage is changed and poisonous DNA is added, the end results may very well be something that resembles a late night Sci-Fi creature. If the cabbage can survive a DNA change, the groundwork for the caterpillar to adjust is already in place. Our Creator said everything He created was good, just the way He ordered it, so a few caterpillar living on a few cabbage leaves was as it was intended. Add man's Frankenstein ideas and hopefully we'll realize we're creating monsters, before we annihilate the food supply.
Scorpion DNA in cabbage may slow down the caterpillar for a time, but ultimately I don't think it will cause extinction, but rather mutation. We need to remember caterpillars eventually turn into butterflies. I don't even want to imagine a world with mean angry butterflies!
