Determine Whether the Following Passage Is (Or Contains) an Argument

Short Answer

Determine whether the following passage is (or contains) an argument.
"Gene splicing is the most awesome and powerful skill acquired by man since the splitting of the atom. If pursued humanistically, its potential to serve humanity is enormous. We will use it to synthesize expensive natural products-interferon, substances such as insulin, and human endorphins that serve as natural painkillers. We will be able to create a second 'green revolution' in agriculture to produce new high-yield, disease-resistant, self-fertilizing crops. Gene splicing has the potential to synthesize new substances we can substitute for oil, coal, and other raw materials-keys to a self-sustaining society."
