		<description>1/ If the religious types would just admit to evolution, and that, &quot;In his image&quot;, meant using DNA and reproduction, then everyone would agree on Darwin AND the churches could get out of school like they should be.

One could go all the way back the the Big Bang and say, A/ It was God, or B/ It was a random natural event. Everything that led to us (and probably others on other planets in this or other galaxies) existing today certainly would be exactly the same with either method of starting things up.

2/ About using Eugenics to deliberately improve the human race . . . Basically, that wouldn&#039;t be much more sinister than - dating (joke, we really don&#039;t want states or governments force breeding human beings.)

About dating though, the whole Cindarela complex in western and other culture IS deliberate breeding. Poor girl, from bad family, with either bad genetics or bad family culture, makes good with man carrying superior genes and family culture - if she&#039;s good looking or especially talented and he WANTS her, uh, her genes. That&#039;s why even succesful, well connected women still marry for money and power, it&#039;s in their genes for that to be attractive to them.

To sum it up, evolution is obvious, how it got started is not.

It&#039;s also obvious, that any belief system - religious or not but especially religious ones, that trys to narrow the human experience because of uneducated fear, holds back human growth. Unfortunately, those same uneducated, closed minded people use genetics BETTER than educated, open minded people - They breed more and practice violence more. That&#039;s why all great civilizations eventually fall prey to the barbarians. Better teach your children a language from a violent, third world, religious part of the world . . . .</description>
