Are you saying evolution is always beneficial?

Evolution cannot be threatened by outside factors. Evolution happens regardless of what factors influence it. .

Really? I always thought evolution was a result of outside factors. Climate is one of the biggest outside factors that effects evolution is it not?

Evolution cannot be threatened by outside factors. Evolution happens regardless of what factors influence it. It also isn't directional. Humans will continue to evolve in whatever direction proves to be the most beneficial for the given traits in our population. Also, considering we haven't seen every possible form of evolution in the universe, it is impossible to predict with any sort of clarity the overall direction evolution will take a species. After all, a mutation we've never seen before could happen and take the species in a new direction entirely.

No telling what mutations can happen when you mix Big Pharma meds with DNA. Or if the Geneticly modified foods will one day cause mutations in our children's genetics.
That's not how genetics works. When you eat an apple, do you give birth to apples?
The biggest danger of gmo is to human beings environment. When gmos find a way into a natural environment they can be envasive plant or animals.
The most probable mutation in actual humans would be in our guts if the bacteria and flora have trouble breaking down food that is modified.
Like crazyshot says our children will mutate regardless of gmos. The danger though is to the environment and food chain rather than genetic changes through eating.
I agree. All food we eat has been genetically modified. The difference is the methods and time scales we are dealing with. The real issues are more due to unknown effects on local ecology than anything.
"We are not only able to feed ourselves taking into account our lands, water resources – Russia is able to become the largest world supplier of healthy, ecologically clean and high-quality food which the Western producers have long lost, especially given the fact that demand for such products in the world market is steadily growing," said Putin, addressing the Russian Parliament.
...
"Ten years ago, we imported almost half of the food from abroad, and were dependent on imports. Now Russia is among the exporters. Last year, Russian exports of agricultural products amounted to almost $20 billion - a quarter more than the revenue from the sale of arms, or one-third the revenue coming from gas exports," he said.
Why do you associate Putin with these ideologies ?
This would certainly help making sense to your anti-Russian hatred but, this is simply the product of your own paranoia.
Practically, Putin is much more closer of Russian Orthodoxy.
There are lot of Fringe ideologies coming from Russian, one of the funniest imo is New chronology, you don't need to associate Putin with all of them.
