RationalWiki's 2019 Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff – we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

If everyone seeing this today donates $5, we will meet our goal for 2019.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Donations so far: $2900Goal: $6000

I prefer to make changes and choices in the world which actually confronts me. I do not think you appreciate the magnitude of a genome, nor the complexities of its expression.

Say you had omiscient knowledge of every grain of sand on your own private beach, and could select the size and shape of each one so that spectacular castles would spontaneously form from the typical range of wave action. Would you do so?

Yes. (I asked you (or Jack) first, though.)

It would seem that your point is back to, "you can't get any closer to intended results from selective breeding". I'm probably missing something again.
