Meddling with the DNA using super-dooper new micro-tech capabilities is being tried at the U of Chicago, and I read of some of ther similar try in Arizona. Basically, they attempted to co-opt "Natural Selection" to force a new species into being by programming their new species in the "program" itself. Frankly, they ought, according to their own beliefs, be able to do just that. They've got the tools.

But they haven't quite managed it yet. Still, they send out press releases that It Has Happened, even though...it hasn't happened. Given all the ideal lab conditions, all these perfect opportunities, all these Brilliant Minds--I believe it draws attention to the fact that speciation was supposed to have happened by accident, fortuitously, in perfect fortuitous accidental order. link

As has been explained to you countless times, you have misunderstood the article, and persist in misunderstanding it even after your errors are pointed out to you.

Let's have a show of hands: Who's surprised?
