I know scientist are never wrong. So, evolution is true. We are merely an animal formed from the primordial ooze or came from apes. Survival of the fittest ensures the future. Also, the earth is billions of years old...maybe more. 

Therefore it makes little sense to help the weak. Are they not "hurting the herd"? Would we not be better off helping the strong to build up the best for the good of the whole? Wait, survival of the fittest sounds an awful like free market capitalism. Whoda thunk it? Why do the animal rights folks get so bunched up over a snail going extinct? It merely the top of the chain eliminating the uneeded. 
Also, the earth is billions of years old and has gone through cataclysmic series long before man. So I'm to believe in the last 50 years we've doomed our planet? What happened to the ice age doom scientist were moaning about in the 70's? 
As far as liberals and evolution. ..they love it when they need it. Forensic SCIENCE proved Mike Brown wasn't shot with his hands up yet SCIENCE was dismissed. 
All this comes from a mere neonatal layman. I'm surprised I can get out of bed in the morning without Bill Nye helping me. Dur hur.

@henapple  you're talking about eugenics and that's revolting to everyone, I would hope.

It's not that scientists are always correct. They strive to test hypotheses  based on measurable and real evidence. Sometimes that evidence reinforces the hypothesis, sometimes, it disproves it. If it is tested enough and found to be correct enough, it becomes a theory. Sometimes, theory becomes law(thermodynamics, gravity, motion).

Has anyone else noticed The Weather Channel becoming much more specific?  The app on my phone is telling me there is a 12% chance of rain at 7 tonight, decreasing to 3% at 8.  That seems like a lot more soecific than one usually sees from meteorologists.

Those crazy "smart" people... The American eugenics movement was rooted in the biological determinist ideas ofSir Francis Galton, which originated in the 1880s. Galton studied the upper classes of Britain, and arrived at the conclusion that their social positions were due to a superior genetic makeup.[8] Early proponents of eugenics believed that, through selective breeding, the human species should direct its own evolution. They tended to believe in the genetic superiority of Nordic, Germanic and Anglo-Saxon peoples; supported strict immigration and anti-miscegenation laws; and supported the forcible sterilization of the poor, disabled and "immoral".[9] Eugenics was also supported by African Americans intellectuals such as W. E. B. Du Bois,Thomas Wyatt Turner, and many academics at Tuskegee University, Howard University, and Hampton University; however they believed the best blacks were as good as the best whites and “The Talented Tenth” of all races should mix.[10] W. E. B. Du Bois believed “only fit blacks should procreate to eradicate the race’s heritage of moral iniquity. 

By 1910, there was a large and dynamic network of scientists, reformers and professionals engaged in national eugenics projects and actively promoting eugenic legislation. The American Breeder’s Association was the first eugenic body in the U.S., established in 1906 under the direction of biologist Charles B. Davenport.

@henapple good thing science proved them wrong.

Hitler picked up the concept from the US.  The US program was funded by corporate institutions.
