/sci/ - Science & Math

I'm involved in a private trip to a south pacific island to participate in research, a trip organized by a professor of mine and a few noteworthy people in the field.

However I had to join a Facebook group as part of the organization effort prior to the trip. This gave other members access to my wall content. I'm an atheist, and the professor is a conservative Christian who surrounds himself with the likeminded. He tolerates me because I make a point of being respectful, but other members threw a fit simply upon seeing that I wasn't a Christian and demanded my removal from the trip roster.

The thing is, a large part of the funding for this expedition is coming from a notable celebrity, who is himself an atheist and a militant one. I don't think they know that, as it's not commonly known, you have to dig around for his quotes to find that out.

If I am in fact removed from the trip roster, I could notify him of why, and he would most likely withdraw funding. At that point the trip would become financially impossible.

I hesitate to do this because I don't want to hold back science in any way, even if it means that I lose the opportunity to participate. But at the same time, it's a pretty huge injustice that I find hard to ignore. What's the best course of action?

So I was having a weird idea while trying to go to sleep one night(I have ADHD so they happen pretty frequently).
Let's say you are stranded on an island with just one female(you're a male and both of you are perfectly healthy, no genetic diseases or such).
Now to say you start reproducing, 5 kids. And those 5 kids would reproduce among each other.
Now the fact that incest is illegal because of genetic mutations and genetic diseases is true.
However, if you were to kill any child that is not perfectly healthy, and only keep the healthy ones while they all watch. Would evolution take a turn and not develop any genetic diseases while reproducing(if you are sick you die, if you are healthy you live).
One could build a 'master' race, with no genetic diseases.
Now I am not very old, nor am I very intelligent in the biology area, so I ask here to correct me, post any flaws that would be in this 'plan'.
