Yes.
the long answer starts with four questions:
Yeah?
and?
So?
What?
everything we eat has been genetically modified - well for the last few thousand years or so - and guess what?
Not only are we still alive but the genetically modified foods that we have developed over those last few thousand years have been so productive that it has given us time to talk about irrelevant shit on the internet instead of having to spend all our time seeding, weeding, ploughing, and hunting.
Around 25000 - thats twenty five thousand people - PER DAY - die of hunger - the number of humans who go to bed hungry on top of that is several orders of magnitude higher (that means adding more zeroes to the end in case your a creationist and dont understand basic maths)
Through genetic modification we can - and have - made our crops more prodictive and tolerant to things like arid conditions, our livestock better adapted to assimilating protein and other nutrients (basically grow faster with less food) - and we are only just scratching the surface.
it's pretty easy to protest about this when YOUR not the one who's hungry.
The short answer:
go fuck yourselves you borgeouis fuckpigs!
I blame your son for the coming apocalypse.
X = Selective breeding of food sources fit for human consumption.
Y = Altering food sources through crisgenesis or transgenesis, which may or may not produce disastrous effects.
X = Y, so "go fuck yourselves you borgeouis fuckpigs"?
Clever.
LOL, yeah, I kind of do too. The little heathen. He was such a good dedicated employee he got raises one after the other. (basically he just showed up while other teens quit)
Does it really matter since what he worked on was cattle grain?
Apocowlypse?
I don't need to present an alternative. I'm happy to just point out that the stuff you posted was nonsensical crap.cleverer that you - you dont dare to present a solution after all ........ you borgeouis fuckpig
seriously though.... do you want to debate this? we have a forum for that

we are facing a crisis on this planet because we are approaching the point where - even with conventional (lets forget for the moment that everything you east has been in some way geneticlly modified) crops and livestock - we will very quickly arrive at a point where we simply cant meet the demands of our growing population. And yet genetic engineering holds the solutions

Oh really?? You try to poke fun at people who might not understand orders of magnitude, yet you don't even have a clue as to what you're talking about yourself - that's really intelligent - NOT!!
The "genetic modifications" you're talking about is nothing more than selective breeding - interbreeding and crossbreeding. That's a FAR cry from today's gene splicing, which is the topic here. Like inserting genes from a poisonous plant into something used for food, like soybeans, to kill insects that normally feed on soybean plants.
Sheesh!!!
dude - I have a Phd in behavioural ecology and I genuinely cant see any discernable ecological difference (based on the published evidence) between selectively bred crops and GE crops - except for the massively increased yield that we get from GE.
seriously - gimme some good evidence AND a valid non GE solution to feeding the world and I'll back you to the hilt.
ps -whats wrong with taking the piss out of creationsists for not understanding maths? Understanding evolution is far less difficult than understanding highly complex mathematical concepts like addition and subtraction
I really don't care how many degrees you have. If you cannot see the HUGE difference between selective breeding and actual gene-spicing, then your degree is doing you NO good in this matter.
