I’ll fight natural selection any day... crispr, no way.

We are not gods. At least with previous vaccines we just killed off the active parts and said “hey, go bull fight this” to our immune system.

Last bit: Leverage works in both ways

Organism evolves the capabilities to understands diseases and develops ways to fight them, if that isn’t natural selection what is?

This idea that "We are not gods." Such a peculiar argument. If something is capable by a mortal man what makes you think it has god-like qualities? To me it is the opposite. Also since you're using the word "gods" are you referring to polytheism? Where did you decide you were capable of determining a "god-like" thing? You. Are. Confusing. Me.
