In the 1950s, geochemist Harrison Brown - a member of the Manhattan Project who supervised the production of plutonium - advocated the use of government-mandated eugenics to prevent overpopulation from ecological disaster that could cause civilization to revert to a way of life not unlike that which existed in Europe in the seventeenth century or that which exists in China today.

Is there anything that can be done to prevent the long-range degeneration of human stock? Brown asked on page 104 of his 1954 book The Challenge of Man's Future.

Answering his question, Brown wrote: Unfortunately, at the present time, there is little, other than to prevent breeding in persons who present glaring deficiencies clearly dangerous to society and which are known to be of a hereditary nature.(12/9/2009)

But Comfort insists atheists clearly believe nothing created everything. All you have to do, Comfort told WND, is push them into a corner and say, 'So, you're an atheist?' 'Yep.'
