If we continue to show mercy, love, forgiveness, charity, etc. will it interfere with survival of the fittest? Have we replaced natural selection with man-made selection? If we now determine how we evolve, what path should we take?

If we continue to show mercy, love, forgiveness, charity, etc. then it may become part of us. There is a such thing as spiritual evolution. We do it everyday when one of us says
"I want to be a better person". That's to me is spiritual evolution. I say spiritual not because it's some mumbo jumbo but because it's the spirit of what we all seem to want to be. That's seen as good people.

Mercy, love, forgiveness and charity are attributes common to all social species. Mercy, love, forgiveness and charity thus increase the adaptive fitness of social species.

Yes. Environmental pressures dictate the level of adaptation and evolution of species and mankind is now the biggest influence on the global ecosystem .

I worry more about science tinkering with things. That defies evolution. While they tott it, they oppose it.
EVOLUTION is the NATURAL course of things. Not dumpting PCBs into the water table. That isn't evolution.

No, the input of humans is simply that, input. The natural state of the earth and its' creaturs will continue to change despite and regardless of human interference.
