Romans 1:21
"The core teaching of evolution is that genetic differences exist in all life-forms which are selected due to the survival of the fittest reality. Some of these differences allow the animal an edge in the competition for life which enables them to outcompete those animals without this slight advantage.
An example is the evolutionary claim that some of our ancient pre-humans had a slight advantage in intelligence, consequently, they were able to outcompete their slightly less-intelligent brethren. By this process, after eons of time, the dumb australopithecines were able to evolve into the intelligent humans existing today.
Condemning the basis of eugenics negates the core of how evolution works. If there are no genetic differences that affect survival, there cannot be evolution. As one textbook stated, No mutations (genetic differences), no evolution.

I asked the Google AI engine, “Is it correct to say that if there are no genetic differences that affect survival, there cannot be evolution?” The answer came back, “Yes, that’s correct. Without genetic variation that affects survival and reproduction, there can be no evolution by natural selection, as there’s nothing for natural selection to act upon.” An AI query agreed with this idea that evolution.
All eugenics does is to allow humans to attempt to copy natural selection and select the more evolved humans to reproduce and, concurrently, to prevent the less evolved from reproducing. As Darwin explained, artificial selection by breeders selects for specific traits, as also does eugenics. Galton recognized this similarity when he read Darwin’s work on evolution, motivating him to found the eugenics movement. If evolution is untrue, then eugenics is also untrue.
Consequently, as creationists have repeatedly done, by disproving evolution, we are also negating the core idea of eugenics."
