DNA and the nature of a revolution

First,I would like to say that i appreciated that you chose to spend a little time on debriefing from the racism video yesterday.

Now, as to a conversation started earlier, I would like to express my view on teaching DNA as a scientific revolution. I think it would be a gross misrepresentation of the dynamic nature of science and the biological sciences to teach that evolution was the last revolution. You claim DNA was not a revolution. However, most of the field of biology would call DNA a revolution and not even the latest. THere is in fact another revolution in thinking and understanding happening as we speak in the field of RNA research, and yes it IS a revolution.
The discovery of DNA changed the way EVERY scientist in EVERY biological field thought, worked and interpreted their field and their experiments. Yes, evolution also did this. However, I firmly believe DNA is an even more important revolution. Knowlegde about DNA has changed not only scientists lives (like evolution) but has changed everyone's life (unlike evolution). For the first time in human history we can conclusively proof guilt or innocence, parental lineage, tell whether you will get the same disease as your parents, in fact tell what disease, exactly we have. And DNA is providing the tools to treat and even cure these diseases. You no longer have to wish desperately for a child without your genetic disorder, you can test embryos and implant only the healthy ones. Within the next 20-30 years there will be the option to run your DNA against standard DNA to tell you what diseases you have or have pre-disposition to. Will you have a stroke? Alzheimers? Take a sample of blood and find out.
A discovery/idea that has quite literally changed the nature of all the biological sciences forever and changed the everyday lives of people. What more could you want from a revolution?
I for one fully intend to teach biology as a very dynamic field full of rapid discoveries and reversals/alterations in thinking that impacts on everyday lives.
