I agree with what you said. Biological evolution has become just a tool for us to accerate change through artificial manipulation. We are on the cusp of incredibly fast "self evolution" now.

As an aside, my personal belief is the instinctual desire to believe in something greater than the individual is a natural evolutionary remnant. Cooperation is one strategy for improvement and the desire to cooperate is a emotional directive to cooperate. The desire to cooperate is stimulated by a sense of the "greater good." The movement from single cells to multicellular organisms is one example of putting this strategy into action. The sense that the cell has for the whole in order to both want to cooperate and have commonality can be coined "god". Note this is a different "god" from the "creator archtype god."
