چکیده:
In this article, 'Theological Implications of Human Intervention in Creation' is examined. This subject is important and worthy of research because some human interventions in divine creations have led to the emergence of various theological doubts and challenges. After mentioning examples of human interventions, the theological implications of such interventions are investigated and analyzed, and doubts are addressed based on philosophical and theological foundations and presuppositions. Based on the findings of this research, no matter how extensive, destructive, and corrupting the scope of human interventions may be, they do not conflict or contradict clear creedal principles such as the principle of absolute divine agency, God's general and comprehensive providence, and the wise, purposeful, and best nature of divine creation. Since logically human agency is subject to divine will, general and wise providence, and divine developmental laws and traditions, and cannot be realized outside these laws and the divine system, therefore, the assumption of human interference in divine creation and providence and the purposes of creatures, or the undermining of the 'best system' (Nizam al-Ahsan), as well as the assumption of the possibility of destroying the conditions of life on Earth, is negated according to the mentioned foundations and presuppositions.

Since logically human agency is subject to divine will, general and wise providence, and divine ontological laws and traditions, and cannot be realized outside of these laws and the divine system, therefore, the assumption of human interference in divine creation and providence and the purposes of creatures, or the undermining of the best system (nizam al-ahsan), or the possibility of destroying the conditions of life on Earth, is negated according to the mentioned foundations and presuppositions.
1. Problem Statement Given the human power for various types of interventions in creation, one of the important and noteworthy issues in the discussion of human interventions is that some human interventions, such as genetic engineering, simulation, the power to destroy the environment, and other interventions that cause changes in the status and effects of divine creatures, are worthy of attention and investigation from the perspective of their theological implications and requirements, in addition to their ethical, jurisprudential, and biological aspects.
From this perspective, what is the philosophy behind human power of intervention regarding natural beings and the possibility of changing their structure, purposes, and functions, given the fact that all beings in the system of creation are the wise acts of God and subject to His knowledge, will, and divine wise providence?
Secondly: How is human interference in the system of creation and intervention in the evolutionary process of beings compatible with the principle of absolute divine agency and the fact that divine creatures are subject to divine knowledge, wisdom, will, and providence, and that the divine act is wise, purposeful, the best (ahsan), and perfect (atamm)?
