Finally some sense.

Why are humans so dead set on making our species weaker?

All other species on the earth, in order to not become extinct have a natural evolution where ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE.

Why has collective mindset, altered that natural trait of all species? Where the strong are forced to carry the weak?


This Nation was founded upon that very principal of the laws of nature, or what is called natural law.
The government collective was not to force the people to carry the weak.
Nothing in the Constitution, grants the government any authority to provide anything material for the people. Only to secure our borders from invasion, and maintain our liberties(both long gone)
By the authority of the Constitution, this would fall under the 10th amendment.


Until the 1900's, there was a reason this nation became the most powerful in the shortest amount of time in history.
Bring back the plague!

Because the biological Theory of Evolution is the prevailing religion of the Westen World today. So, people having hijacked it as a natural science try to use it to justify everything from gay marriage to scaling back or eliminating welfare programs.

Now, as for a 'creator,' what the other guy said: why bring it up? It has nothing to do with this in the slightest. Evolution is a fact.
Yes, biological evolution is a fact. As in frequency of gene expression and mutation of inputs in a gene.

The descent with modification proposition is not a fact. There is much evidence for it but there can be much evidence to put an innocent man in prison too. But the descent with modification paradigm is the dominate biological paradigm of our time because it helps give us explanations for the similarities and differences in creatures on earth.
