He was an Isrealite (of Norwegian ancestry) who was an expert in his field of plant breeding via selection (most notably wheat, where he crossed varieties to attain a smaller plant that could better carry the heavy grain head. Tall plants can often fall over after heavy rain on a mature crop, similar to the problem that barley has at harvest time. Once fallen over the loss of yield and quality is considerable).

In this aspect he served as a steward of Yahweh's creation. I am not sure of his later work, but his earlier work did not involve modifying the genetic material of plants, only developing new varieties via plant selection.

However, he spent most of his time helping non-Adamites produce food for themselves. Working in Mexico, India, Pakistan, and elsewhere. This is how he got so famous, and gained international peace prizes, etc. He also worked mostly for Du Pont, a jewish owned corporation.

Just another gifted Adamite that did not know his heritage, and therefore unwittingly used his Yahweh created intellect to advance the position of the Adversary.
Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Matthew 7 16-19 KJV

Didn't he also cross wheat with other non-wheat plants, wouldn't this be some kind of abominable new crop ...modern wheat.

edit: Ok, I was wrong, he used wild wheat strain that were compatible. I don't really want to learn more than that.
...and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
