" The science itself never said anything about what to do with the data."

ok and who did? the scientists who did the evaluations right? so what's your point? mine is simply that eugenics came about as a consequence of science, do you disagree?

can we agree that science has to have a practitioner? and that you cannot separate science from its practitioners?

That's no different than saying scientists built the atomic bombs that were dropped on Japan.   The science did not tell them to make a bomb and use it. 

Science does not dictate action. 
Scripture dictates action.

That is the inherent difference.  While it ultimately comes down to the choice of action by people, one explicitly tells you to perform violence.  The other does not because their does not exist a doctrine to begin with.

fair enough but regardless that doesn't change the fact that science presents us with tools that have a great capacity for harm, the topic isn't about science or religion inherently motivating action but about which is the greater threat

if i lay a gun and a knife on a table neither has inherently the ability to motivate action but we could argue that a gun is more capable of causing harm right?
