"Whether we....... accept responsibility for the unborn child depends on our view of humanity. Do we believe that humans were created in God's image? Or do we believe, as the secularist does, that humans are just one more example of evolution's chance handiwork, no different in kind than lice and lungfish?
If we believe that life evolved by chance, humanity must invent its own reasons for being, and the ethics by which we govern ourselves. That means, whose lives we value become a matter of what can be done to produce the greatest happiness for everybody, but that is a deeply dangerous view—for unborn children, the handicapped, the elderly, or the simply inconvenient."
Chuck Colson
I believe we are a product of evolution just as televisions are the product of a manufacturing processes. That does not mean, as two polar opposite interpretation of the process would have us believe, there is no plan or intelligence behind the process.
The ultimate religious question, the one we all have to answer for ourselves, the question I believe is best answered by Jesus' life and teachings, is...........'WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE HUMAN?'.
How we answer this question may well determine if our future will be better or unimaginably worse than the present.
