An original argument against creationism

No. An axiom is a premise from which reasoning begins and leads to a particular conclusion. Ideally, it is a premise so self-evident that it can be accepted without question. Social eugenics is not a self-evident proposition. You cannot reason to evolution (which is a natural and biological phenomena) from social eugenics. And finally, the very proposition of social eugenics requires evolution to be true in the first place. An axiom cannot presume the truth of its conclusion at the onset much less depend upon it so completely as is the case here.

No, it's not.

That wouldn't be the case even if air did have necessity and function.
