If they are so smart how come they are not absolutly sure what causes cancer or how to cure it?
We do know what causes cancer - our DNA is damaged somehow, causing cells to reproduce uncontrollably..
We don't know everything that can cause the DNA damage.

As for finding a cure - genetics is very very complicated, and DNA is microscopic.
Microscopic and very very complicated is not a good mixture.
