Once God is removed from humanity's origins, there is no longer a divine spark of creativity. Men are merely animals, not created in God's image. If animals become pests or nuisances, they are simply eliminated. Since men are now animals, they too can be eliminated. Especially because "Parson" Thomas Malthus has given permission, saying genocide is "God's will". Darwinism created the idea that the survivors are the "most fit". Eugenics will take it to the next level, dividing the survivors into categories of "well born" and "unfit" and establishing means by which nature can be helped along with man-made efforts to eliminate more of the "unfit", thinning the herd yet again. Most people associate these effort with Nazi Germany. They would be surprised to learn that the Americans taught the Germans how to implement eugenics as a matter of public policy. In other words, eugenics in America predated the Master Race policies in Germany. The combination of eugenics and the progressive movement in America launched the 20th century into a killing spree unlike the world had ever seen.
