Genetic modification is a sickness, and it’s only a matter of time before it goes wrong by biblical proportions.

“Experts changed the DNA of chicken embryos in the early stage of their development, enabling them to undo evolutionary progress and give the creatures snouts which are thought to have been lost in the cretaceous period millions of years ago.”
I am so tired of people writing as if evolution was fact and not a theory. Red flag when they write “are thought to”, doesn’t sound very factual to me. I don’t think they can prove they have undone anything. They have just altered and damaged the DNA.

Altering the DNA of an animal to produce a certain physical aberration is not evolution unless that animal can produce offspring with the same trait.
Otherwise Darwinism,like ID,is still just a theory.

They have just altered and damaged the DNA. Exactly. This is like saying that if they pull out all the chicken's feathers and cut off his wings, they've turned him "back into" a lizard.

That paints a picture that is funny. I can see that chicken scratching in the dirt and flopping it’s big ole snout down and getting nothing lol

I kinda like it. Chickens that coyotes and other predators have to think twice about. Plus we can drop the ‘scarce as hen’s teeth’ homily.

[pave the way for scientists altering DNA in the other direction and use the same process to create species better able to adapt to Earth’s climate.]
No need to adapt liberals to global warming, they are already brainless and won’t know the difference.

Don’t you see? Intelligently designing DNA proves that DNA wasn’t intelligently designed.

Scientists have undone the progress made by evolution
I know a few people that this is happening tooooo without scientists

Ok,we will go with Dummy Design as responsible for the origins of species. Instead of Darwiniac or Creator “behold! presto! a new species!” it was all “oops! dang! not another one!”

Are you picturing some sort of gar head? Hope they aren’t trying this on geese and emu, too.

Which did they use ...
1) Random processes,
2) Stupid Design. or
3) Intelligent Design?
All this demonstrates is that with Intelligent Design, changes are possible.
