There we go again ... since humans can manipulate genomes, they're obviously designed.
Sort of like saying since humans can cleave diamonds into gemstones of greater value than those in nature, obviously diamonds were desigend to please us.
It can't possibly be that our race was stupid enough to fall for a DeBeers marketing plan put in place about 100 years ago. |
I read a very interesting article once--New Yorker? Atlantic Monthly? Haarpers?--detailing how the deBeers cartel incited such a demand for diamonds, over the course of the 20th century, that diamonds went from ordinary gemstone to extraordinarily valuable. Great PR campaign.
