The Evolution of Godless Practices: Eugenics, Infanticide, and Transhumanism – Epoch Times Commentary

There is a straight line that runs from eugenics through infanticide to transhumanism. All three are the devil’s work in the material world. Let us explore the issue…. From biblical times to the present, there has been an ongoing battle between good and evil that has been waged through the centuries. On one side, there are those who believe in a higher power and that mankind was made in the image of God….
