LOL at the the thought humans can trump "traditional evolution." As long as we are carbon-based life forms with hereditary material, we have evolution. Its like as long as we have mass, we are subject to gravity.

Well you can LOL at me all you want but my field is directly related to this. If you think that designer evolution will never out pace regular evolution then you are simply ignorant. We are creating chimeras as we speak.

and that's just the simple stuff.

Perhaps you don't mean evolution, but natural selection. I don't think we are changing either, but will concede if you try to argue that humans are not under natural selection, you are on much sturdier ground.

Evolution is simply the changing of gene/gene frequencies over time, I do not think we can escape evolution. Perhaps you may convince me we can escape natural selection, but I doubt it. Natural selection acts on so much more than just people dying off in nature, so much more.
