Amusing. if one subscribes to 'Evolution Theory' there should be
nothing "embarrassing" about 'extermination' whatsoever.
Furthermore, the notion of extermination is not "embarrassing" to
Christianity to say the least, as it is a salient proposed possible
event in the eschataology.
My recommendation for you [or anyone] would be to read some Science
Fiction in this context,
such as Arthur Clarke's _Childhood's End_,
or perhaps even Olaf Stapledon's _First and Last Men_ or even _Odd
John_
don't rule out the possibility that humans might be LOWER on the
"Evolutionary" scale than certain enlightened races, who might see it
as merciful act to "reduce" or -- as the Federalist Papers might say
-- "refine the population" -- however "embarrasing" such might be.
