…The principle that DNA changes are harmful by virtue of
reducing survival chances applies whether a change in DNA is
caused by a mutation or by some foreign genes we deliberately
add to it. 6
Richard Dawkins, one of
the best-known evolutionists

an interview if any mutations
were known to be beneficial.
He could not answer the ques-
