Allah has cursed him; and he said: Most certainly I will take of Thy servants an appointed portion:
And most certainly I will lead them astray and excite in them vain desires, and bid them so that they shall slit the ears of the cattle, and most certainly I will bid them so that
they shall alter Allah's creation; and whoever takes the Shaitan for a guardian rather than Allah he indeed shall suffer a manifest loss.

An-Nisa 118: 119

Man altering Allah’s creation?
How?
Genetic Engineering
Ring any bell?
In the past three decades, scientists have
learned how to mix and match characteristics among unrelated
creatures by moving genes from one creature to another. This is
called "genetic engineering."
As we saw in our series on genetic engineering of food crops,
genetic "engineers" are now moving genes around among plants,
animals, and bacteria on a regular basis, but with very little
understanding of the possible consequences, and almost no safety
testing. Now genetic engineers are starting to modify the genes
of humans, using three approaches: 1) cloning, 2) somatic cell
manipulation, and 3) human germline manipulation.

Human genes are also being put into animals, so that they that produce human proteins
The technology being used to create these genetically-modified animals could one day be used to genetically
alter humans.
Only time will tell what the long-term consequences of this will be.
