The difference is that evolution is the only game in town (well, until humans started bio-engineering).

  > well, until humans started bio-engineering Nope, evolution is the only game in town. We can not replace it, we can only play it.

    That's not true. Evolution happens under certain conditions. Rampant bio-engineering, of certain kinds, would remove us from the conditions under which evolution has any effect.

      it's perhaps interesting to speculate in the possibility of a post-evolution (at least at organism level) regime in future, but mLuby said "started" so I think the correction was fine, if a bit at risk of falling into semantics.
