Incorrect. Man was given dominion over all animals. Husbandry is included in that, as evidenced all the way back to the story of Cain and Abel, and also Job which is believed to be an older book than Genesis by written date IIRC. Gregor Mendel was an Augustinian Monk and Abbott who put heritability to paper for the West with his pea plant experiments. You can argue that something is less than ideal and should be avoided, but that is separate from the notion of its provability. Moving away from spontaneous trait generation is what genetics taught us. Look at the source data rather than assuming the data is bad. You'll notice genetics and heritability fields are AWFULLY quiet about anything tangential to HBD, which is no coincidence. They know what side their bread is buttered on.
