In vivo-directed evolution of a new adeno-associated virus for therapeutic outer retinal gene delivery from the vitreous.

[ClearCase_guy]

It started as a virus. It ended as a virus. It adapted in the lab.
To say it evolved is to imply a deeply fundamental change, and that did not occur.

But, if we insist on saying it evolved, I'll just point out that this is evidence of intelligent design, because the change was directed.

I was at a meeting with a young woman about 9 years ago. When it was announced that Bush had limited stem cell research, she immediately burst into angry tears because she believed he had robbed her of the opportunity to save the sight she had remaining. Such were the lies and promises of the Democrat party at the time. After 4 years of Obama, we should have long ago entered the golden age.
