As long as you're busy building false assumptions, here's another one. Science does this sort of stuff all the time, including with guided mutation of organisms. So it's clearly not outside the realm of science to do this stuff.
One wonders why science is therefore claimed to be utterly incapable of detecting what science can do. Dogmatic convenience, perhaps?
No, that wassn't my point at all. I didn't mean to address the possibility or lack thereof of manipulating genes; I meant to point out that the minute you postulate an intelligence manipulating speciation in the wild, you've gone out of science and into philosophy.
Nothing I said was intended as an ideological attack. Please don't take it that way.
