    Yes but you're not thinking abstractly and idealistically enough, because instinct, and predecessors of our human instincts, were honed over billions of years in natural, and relatively homeostatic conditions which all succeeded in producing life. Evolutionary forces even exerted themselves on cellular levels when the very first cells were forming... and those forces never stopped molding us until we came to be in this current form. Thus instinct has been finely tuned in a way that it is sensitive to even very small disadvantages in survival / reproduction. There is so much that went into fine tuning us biologically that it is beyond imagination.

    "Human" DNA includes virus DNA. Hardly fine-tuning.

    Except it isn't, so... the end.

    Hardly fine tuning? Have you ever opened a biology textbook and read about the incredible complexity and synchronization of all the chemical processes in your body?

    Evolution is like putting a rock into a polisher, and leaving it on for days... where it comes out completely smooth. Your arguments are like... pointing to a small little spec of sand that hasn't been polished. They're trivial points.
    The human body (or really any living creatures) is so well refined and perfected by evolution it is best thought of as a divine construction.
    Keep trying

    It doesn't sound like you've read any scientific books about evolutionary biology.

    Virus DNA and bacteria DNA is actually how animals like humans form. The process that's used to make GMOs actually occurs in nature. Structures that are found in viruses and bacteria keep getting added together until you get things like animals and plants. The real problem with GMOs is mostly just they produce pesticides.
