That I'm stupid/idiotic/ignorant/fag should be obvious; insulting me is redundant.
What else did I neglect in modern medicine? Have we not mapped the whole human genome? That Stanfurd project that attempts to simulate protein folding? Designing all sorts of chemo drugs that more specifically attack cancer?
Pest control = DDT resistant insects/viral resistant rabbits in Australia? They would have been obvious empirical facts; evolution could not have predicted ahead of time whether insects would grow resistant to DDT or completely die off.
I've always imagined genetic engineering as modifying genes at the molecular level, by PCR or otherwise. We can also coerce bacteria to absorb plasmids, but I wouldn't call that evolution. Actually, evolution can be used to filter out the bacteria that failed to absorb the plasmids, so that's at least one use.
