Abstract Throughout history, human beings have always made various interventions in nature and have subjugated the forces of nature by using their knowledge and power. With the increase in man’s understanding of the secrets of creation, the possibility of their intervening in the natural structure of creatures has also doubled. Given the fact that all creatures are considered signs of God and manifestations of His wisdom, power, knowledge, management, and will, what is the explanation for human interventions in creatures from a theological point of view? By examining the most important traditional and modern methods of creating changes in the structure of beings, the following article explores the theoretical approach of the thinkers in great divine religions. The results of this research show a preference for the approach of the permissibility of longitudinal intervention and the impermissibility of transverse intervention in the natural structure of creatures from the point of view of Islam. In other religions, although there is a difference in the permissibility or impermissibility of intervention, the weak presence of these religions in the human social arena, the acceptance of the instrumental role of nature for humans, and as a result, the permissibility of any intervention in the natural structure of creatures is made easy for the followers of these religions. The research method is descriptive-analytical.
