No human designed DNA. Your point is not well taken. You seem to neither understand the ID nonsense nor the science.

DNA does not need to be "designed" by humans in order for humans to have exercised design criteria on it.

It's called "selection". If I want big red dogs, I select for the biggest and reddest puppies. You do that several generations and you'll get big red dogs.

Eventually we are going to be able to create a gene that gives us big red dogs starting off with rabbits or chipmunks. It really won't matter.

No human designed DNA. That is a fact. We can now engineer it and breeding is an indirect engineering, just like natural selection.

That is what Origin of Species is all about. Read it.

No, a lot of Origin of Species is about the shibboleths and prejudices of the upper-crust English gentry of Darwin's time.

I've read it, but so much of it has been superceded by other stuff that's much more interesting and demonstrable.

Breeding new species of dogs ain't in it yet. Darwin was wrong to try to use that as an example.

Why are you obsessed by dogs? What about pigeons?

We have pigeons around here who are obviously into attempting to breed several different kinds of species ~ only works with one.

Amazing that a fellow with your command of biology never saw pigeons "in season".
