Can science prove that homosexuality is normal? Or that it is not?...no they can't because normal is a concept...and idea not something with physical properties that they can show with experiments.
They can say it is normal, can treat it as normal, and believe it is normal but they cannot prove it is normal with science.
Same with sin...you can say it is bad and that god does not like it, but no one can prove that.
I am not just playing with words here...the point is that your attack is flawed because you attack an idea and faith as if they are the cause and they are not...it is actions that cause bad things to happen not ideas...and if ideas are responsible for the evil actions by religion then then because Eugenics was a scientific idea then science is the cause of it.
