The claim of GENOCIDE is just silly ; wikipedia (the source of all wisdom and truth, I know) states an annual 2.225% growth rate for the population. This has to be the slowest, counterproductive, genocide the world has ever seen.

that one day a cell just "plopped" into existence with the ability to procreate, and then against all odds survived everything the galaxy will throwed at it for 6 billion years.

Is it not perfectly sane to refuse a theory that has no PROOF about it's vital premises ?
