A lot of you are not understanding what he's saying.

Ideologically or morally, yes it doesn't work.

Just in scientific terms, it would work.

He's speaking simply from a biological standpoint.

What this has to do with atheism, I don't understand.

shyt some people practice a low level form of eugenics when it comes to procreation.

Kudos for not juelzing around the subject of slavery unlike most Muslims, but you gonna have to hold this neg for claiming he's morally superior to Nat Turner, Huey Newton, etc...

his enemies have tried to tear him down and get dirt for 1400 years and all they got are out right lies and misrepresentations.

:wow:

Imagine the ability to fix down syndrome, or any deformity in the womb. Why would anyone be against that?

Don't be dumb, mating with someone on your own free will is different from forced selective breeding, sterilization, etc.
None of those things are eugenics.

Its literally mating with someone to achieve a desirable characteristic. If you have a preference any preference and want to see that in your children your practicing eugenics.

If you prefer in shape beautiful women and don't want to have kids with the mentally or physically handicapped you engaged in eugenics.

In every community or corner of the world, the fittest/healthiest/sharpest men should do the majority of the multiplying

Cacs, as per usual, had to ruin the concept and make it racial when in reality someone like Russell Wilson or LeBron is far more qualified to have many children than blonde hair, blue eyed Eminem

If you want to see what a society looks like with NO natural selection then look at India. Thanks to arranged marriage, every man has the ability to pass his genes on
The flip side of this argument is that a society that implements the 'fittest/healthiest/sharpest men should do the majority of the multiplying' 100% would lead to the 80/20 rule. Thus decrease the genetic diversity of a society because if only 20% of males get to pass on their genes within each generation, we'd inevitably lose genes that might be beneficial to us a species.

Also there are a few flaws in the theory:
1. Health and fitness isn't just about genetics. Environment (food, air quality, etc) and exercise are very important when it comes to health and fitness. Bringing up Russell Wilson and LeBron are perfect examples of this of my point.
2. Why should only 'fittest/healthiest/sharpest men' get to breed? Why not the 'fittest/healthiest/sharpest women'? Let's face it, there are plenty of women that have terrible genes.
