The theory of Evolution, which may be true, does not have clear mathematical evidence but it does... en.wikipedia.org A genetic algorithm (GA) is a search technique used in computing to find exact or approximate solutions to optimization and search problems. Genetic algorithms are categorized as global search heuristics. Genetic algorithms are a particular class of evolutionary algorithms (also known as evolutionary computation) that use techniques inspired by evolutionary biology such as inheritance, mutation, selection, and crossover (also called recombination).

Re: "The theory of Evolution, which may be true, does not have clear mathematical evidence" Thank you for your comments, tnt, but you are incorrect in your statement above. The mathematical evidence for evolution is far better established now then the evidence for the Theory of Gravity, for example.... (That is not to imply that the observed effect we call 'gravity' is not 'real'... rather it is to say that the Theory science uses to explain gravity is less well backed with evidence then evolution and genetics is now....) Re: "I would just say that reducing humanity to a mere scientific object opens the political means to use population control & genocide to meet a human scientific goals." To consider something from a scientific, logical perspective (anything... even the 'hairless ape' homo sapiens sapiens) does not imply any ulterior motives... does not imply any desire to be Hitler or 'Dr. Frankenstein'... merely a desire to be bound by the laws of science and evidence.. As for the super-natural? Well, BY DEFINITION it is beyond the range of scientific inquiry, as it is not subject to testability.
