[DieHard the Hunter] "If I want a female German Shepherd who is good with children, overtly affectionate, agile, medium-sized, good around guns and loud noises, strong bite and obedient, I can go to a breeder and have that precise dog produced. I know that for a fact, because I did exactly that, and she’s licking my face right now... a breeder can select a male with a bloodline that produces some of these characteristics, and a female whose bloodline supplies the rest, cross the two and bingo! There is the dog, custom-built to order.... So why not people?"

[DieHard the Hunter] "I guess where I am getting to in my learning on this thread is that Eugenics isn’t “bad science” or “false science” that has been proven scientifically to be false"
[ECO] "Hereditary pauperism"? Of course it is bad science. Ellis's article should be illustration enough."

Why does it call into question your "I AM a Christian"? Because you believe man is made in the image of dog.

That doesn’t follow. I asked questions, I received answers, I drew conclusions. All on a branch of science I was unfamiliar with: applying animal husbandry concepts to human beings.
The conclusion I arrived at is that while it might be technically possible, it isn’t morally supportable.
How any of that gives you license to climb on a high horse about my status as a practising Christian is less obvious.

Show me where I said that. What a ludicrous thing to say! No wonder Atheists laugh at Christians: people like you give us all a bad name.
I’ve heard your best shot now. It was pathetic and unconvincing. We’re done.
