DO HUMANS HAVE VALUE?
We are hosting this event coming up in a couple weeks to bring to the forefront some important foundational questions. Is it true that all we are as human beings is a complex combination of atoms and molecules? How can one believe that there is something unique about human value without a God that transcends the material world? Our prayer is that this event would get thousands of students and faculty thinking more deeply about their beliefs and worldview. We are persuaded that the Bible offers the most reasonable, compelling, and beautiful picture of how valuable every human being really is.

AN ATHEIST CHEMIST AND A CHRISTIAN PHILOSOPHER DISCUSS WHY HUMAN BEINGS HAVE WORTH.
The large majority of us assume that there is something unique about human beings. Human value is intuitive to us. But what does it mean that human beings are valuable? What makes a human being distinct from other living things, if at all? Why do human beings have worth? How might a Christian or an atheist find common ground on these questions, and how might they differ? Are our answers to these questions consistent with our religious or non-religious worldview? Does our answer to these questions have any relevance to life?
Come hear two scholars from different worldviews discuss why human beings have value.
I’ll be praying for this event.
