Geneticists were labelled as heretics by the pope back in the 90's. Genetic engineering scares the bajezus out of the vatican, because like all science, it risks exposing the truth of our origins.

I can't find any such statement made by the John Paul II, can you provide a link? Also, just for fun, could someone find out what the Muslim, Buddhist and Jewish takes on 'genetic engineering' are?

Geneticists, right up there with the pedophiles! That was in 2008, back in the 90's or late 80's there was some sort of cata-something-or-another on the issue. (Sorry, my catholicism is a little rusty.)

Right, so you were dead wrong. You are as bad as some of the other mind-numbed Catholic bashers here, and frankly I'm surprised.

There's a learning curve. We're fairly new at it, there is nobody to teach us, and religion has been impeding our progress.

Ok, I won't argue with you there, the "heretic" statement may have been a wee bit overblown.

Frustrates me though that the church would involve itself and attempt to subdue something so promising.

In the end really, that is probably the whole point. The definition of Evolution is really getting better all the time, under whatever circumstances you find your self.
