You don't believe in G-d, do you? Or Adam and Eve, for that matter?
You sound like a Darwinian biological determinist. Perhaps you'd like to bring back Darwinian eugenics?
Actually you bring up a wonderful topic. Adam and Eve. Yes, they existed and God, since then, hasn’t created any more humans. We’ve just been shuffling around those same genes for thousands of years. Once they’re diluted, that’s it. As for God, He is judging this country. We are on fire. We have been measured and our time is up. You haven’t noticed that?
“it is the things we can’t talk about. After WWII you can’t mention genes. Genes matter more than anything else. Genes determine life.

Uhhh - - - perhaps dropping your morning coffee by the cup in favor of liters of espresso by IV wasn’t a good idea?
To expect G*d to intervene is to reduce the Divine to Cosmic Cleanup. We have DNA and knowledge - the rest is what we choose to do.
However, to assume one can be whatever one wants is solipsist - a common error of the young and self absorbed. One’s DNA does impose limits on all aspects of one life, I am sorry to have to inform you.
A shame, that - I would like to have been able to walk on water, given the extortionate price of fuel at the marina. But, as PopEye wudda said, “We be what we be”.
And what we be is largely a function of our DNA. Which is not to allow or justify destructive behavior - “I hates cracker!” is no excuse for playing “Knockout Game”. The demise of the late, unlamented St. Martin of the Purple Drank is proof of concept.
Interestingly, DNA can be modified, leaving vastly expanded realms for the expression of “Free Will”. However, I do wonder about being able to control ones genes being the de facto control of ones evolution. By extension, we are aabout to be able to direct our own heridity.
Scary, given we can’t even agree on whether the traditional fat hog or the new lean, low fat, low density lipoprotein content, hog is to be the hog of the future.
‘Tis tough playin’ G*d, it seems.
