Q: Do you think that people can control their DNA?
A: No
Q: Do you think that people who were so healthy 7,000 years ago, that they lived for nearly 1,000 years couldn't change their DNA far easier than we can change ours... even on demand?
A: It is (was) not possible for humans to live past 130-150 or so. Telomeres get shorter every time cells divide. Eventually, they get too short and cells cannot divide. When cells cannot divide, they become inactive, and when your body cannot clean them up, you develop medical issues and eventually you die. https://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/basics/telomeres/
The science of aging is improving, so eventually, we might extend the average human lifespan. But it will not be by listening to music and relaxing. LOL.
S: Neanderthals were simply people who were hundreds of years old, and had changed their DNA from that of other people.
C: Neanderthals were our genetic cousins. Their average lifespan was around 40-50.
Q: Why is a believer of evolution a religious person for believing it?
A: People who understand evolution do not have to 'believe' in it. It is a fact to them. Do you believe in the keyboard that is in front of you?
BTW, I would not take advice on how to 'modify' your DNA from a guy who dropped out of his Catholic High School in Grade 11, in the early 1960s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lew_Childre
Agree with all of the answers here A: No

Everything in evolution fits simple change, like-begets-like, and adaptation far better than it ever fit evolution.
You keep saying this, particularly on the evolution thread. Simple change, like-begets-like, and adaptation IS evolution. Particularly if you also mean survival of the fittest (meaning best fit to the circumstances). Don't make me bring my gazelles into it again.Some religious people think that simple change, like-begets-like, and adaptation don't happen, and that everything was created by God 'as is'.
But you accept the facts of evolution, even if you don't call it evolution.
You forgot the part where random - as in random mutations - doesn't exist. Cause and effect is in everything, and doesn't allow for random. No random, no evolution theory evolution. Or find me something in the billions of things that happen daily where there is no C&E. Everything is dictated by C&E.
The only random that exists in evolution is the random of people not knowing what the C&E of evolution is. Now listen very closely. Random is people not knowing. Get it? People not knowing... about evolution not existing because they think that there is random. And this is proven out by people not knowing that evolution doesn't exist... the only random that exists... people not knowing.
In a deterministic world, your religious free will would not be possible.
In the real world, many instances of intrinsic randomness have been observed, both at quantum and macro levels.
