ok, first there is just evolution, there is no atheistic evolution. the theory of evolution has nothing to do with atheism at all, never did and never will. are some humans inferior than others? in what way? how are you measuring value? hussain bolt is far superior to me when it comes to running, so physically, some are far superior than others in some fields, some times in all fields. am i as smart as albert einstein? no, so obviously we are indeed some more superior than others in that department. yes we do not have souls, not only do individuals not objectively matter, but neither does the collective or even the entire universe. and yes, eliminating bad DNA would be subjectively good. so, do i support eugenics? no, why not? 2 words "steven hawking". if we are looking for better bodies we will lose great minds some times, and if we are looking for great minds we may just loose some great athletes. but the main reason eugenics is a bad thing, is eugenics is an attempt of man to 'fix' evolution, and evolution is not broken, and if something aint broken, dont try and fix it.

Whatever gave you that idea? Atheists most certainly do not support eugenics. The principles of eugenics were first discussed in Plato's "Republic." Because humanity has vast experience with breeding livestock, eugenics was easy for the common man to understand. Eugenics was actually practiced in the USA during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with many states passing mandatory sterilization laws for those who would "degrade the gene pool." Eugenics was totally discredited in the United States by about 1925. The last open public support for eugenics was provided by Adolph Hitler and the Nazis, during the wind-up before World War II, and they were mostly Catholics.
Except for the historical references above, I have not heard of atheists, nor scientists, nor anyone else who supports eugenics in our times. The atheists and scientists I know would be deeply repulsed by any mention of it. Whatever made you imagine atheists would support such a horrible thing?

Seriously? You are not kidding with your questions, are you? Where is your evidence to support this inane statement? Why are you so passive aggressive?
Eugenics is a pseudo-science. Most of Atheists I know are rational, good people that support true science. In fact, most of the atheists I know are nicer, kinder, more accepting and curious people than all the other kinds of people I know, and being an open minded person I know a lot.

I don't know of any atheist that supports Eugenics. You're not a very good liar, troll.

They don't. Not by a long shot. You either pulled that out of the air or heard it from some yeehaw that puts these things out just to see if a few light-headed people will believe it.

Any time I have ever seen eugenics supported it was by a Christian. Sorry, try again.

I would say I am a supporter, but that would be a lie.
I don't know any atheists that support it.

Didn't they tell you in school to be wary of statement that use words like "most"?
I say your allegation is false. Try proving it.

You are obsessed with the Nazi's aren't you? You need to find yourself another hobby.
