No one has said otherwise. Precisely, I'm advocating the intricate complexity of mechanisms encoded in the whole genetic machinery of humans, over and above a simplistic interpretation of DNA being just sequences that tell how to make proteins.

Exactly. Mapping the human DNA is akin to dissecting a corspe, we have to know how all the genes function in vivo before we can start playing God. Gene function at the molecular level isn't the realm of biologists, no offense but Biology is nothing compared to real physical science like chemistry and physics. The biochemists and physical chemists with their NMR and computational protein simulations will uncover more about the human genome than some biologists theorizing about the "future" of mankind. You have to learn to differentiate between the acedemia self serving B.S. in science vs the real truly emperical stuff. Science is nothing without experiementations to backup hypothesis.
