Play God? This is *Darwinian* poetry, not ~Creationist~ poetry. It's vital that the poems remain as free as possible of design.
Makes me wonder, doesn't this site's sort of "evolution" have a distinctly Deistic bent? I mean, the programmer works as a sort of clockmaker god, who designed the world and then left it to its own devices. And now we have Al here praying to this clockmaker for more control... I wonder, does The David respond to prayers?
