I'm 100% sure they are doing this. They think they can create golems and that science trumps God. They are stupid in this way. I know enough science to know there is no hope in it for a better life!
RE DNA: I'm also 100% sure that DNA isn't even a significant factor in life. There's too many other variables. And we know, for a fact, that environmental conditions can CHANGE how the DNA is "read".
To wit, if I can guarantee a calf gets strong colostrum at birth, that calf will almost inevitably grow healthy and strong. If a calf can't get good colostrum at birth, say the cow is stressed or forage is short or whatever, then the calf is not going to do very well. While I use genetics in my herd and such, it is not the entire story so I don't put all my eggs in that basket. I'd rather take animals that grew up with strong parents than ones with impeccable, pure-bred lineages. I'm counting more on forage and the breeding cycle than getting a good bull or cow to breed.
This is also why I tell people with "bad genetics" that they should still get married and have kids. If they raise their kids right, if they pay attention to the health of the mother, for instance, eating folic acid before conception and such, their kids are going to be strong and healthy.
