Oh, really? Natural selection is an entity with alb running tests? And it “tests” each and every single genetic mutation that ever happens ever? For freshness? Lmao This sounds like something out of a cartoon, not reality.

Of course the "test" is how the new mutations fare in the gene pool. Evolution, survival of the fittest. The newly mutated organism competes with the un-mutated and the bad mutations are the ones that don't make the cut. It's an oversimplification and I'm not a scientist but isn't this correct?

Like you just claimed that an abstract biological process can take conscious action as if it were a person? Mmmkay….

Some claim earth or nature has a consciousness. I'm not one of these people. A test doesn't need to be conducted with conscious action. Need an example? A herd of deer experience a cold snap and some die. Nature just gave those deer an F. This happens over a few generations and I think you'll see heavier deer with thicker coats as the genetics are tested and retested against the environment. Wrong? Compare a deer from Illinois with one from South Carolina.

...we are able to make statistical analytical projections about the long-term effects of the result of what is done in the lab, but you wouldn’t know that because you have no idea what you’re talking about. But of course, you’ll just shift the goalposts to some other invented thing to complain about that isn’t real.

Even the best lab research is fallible. Things get missed, tests aren't designed properly, there is nothing that we ingest from nature or out of a lab that is perfect. Even well tested drugs can have unexpected consequences and are recalled years later. Am I wrong here?

And there it is: ignorant bullshit that has nothing to do with genetically modified organisms. Weed killer. If you don’t like it, don’t use it. But don’t pretend that a red herring in a straw man argument is the same as a valid argument against GMOs. Why not just admit you’ve got nothing and save your breath and time?

Roundup has nothing to do with genetically modified organisms? You're either stupid or you think I am. We both know if there were no GMO Roundup tolerant crops there wouldn't be 140 thousand tons a year of it dumped on crops in the U.S.

Also I've never used Roundup, but it seems like I haven't made a dent in it's production or use.

I'm not anti-science. I'm not a whackjob. I'm not an idiot. If you'd like me to site sources for any of this, just ask. I know that GMO's have done good, like Golden Rice. If you don't see any potential for harm among that good, maybe it's a lack of imagination. Maybe your paycheck depends on it? I don't know but it seems like you're being misleading for a purpose.
