Part XVII: Dennis Prager marches on

For your intellectual stimulation and to help Canadians get a grip on reality, I make a point of pointing to Dennis Prager‘s very good series on Judeo-Christian values as new installments are published. 

The people who are reading it are smarter than the people who don’t think they need this—manifestly liberals.  The part about Canadians getting a grip on reality hasn’t come to fruition yet because Canada is full of liberal-lefties, so it takes us as a whole a little longer to catch up, but I’m enthusiastic. And then Canada will move forward faster than the liberal-left’s desire to change the definition of “family” and “marriage”, if that’s possible.

This installment is called Without man, the environment is insignificant.  Read this snippet but make a point of reading the whole thing—there’s also an archive at the source so you can catch up if you’re behind (like you’re a liberal, say).

The notion that it is secularism, not Judeo-Christian values, that enabled scientific inquiry constitutes perhaps the greatest propaganda victory in history. Virtually every great scientist from Sir Isaac Newton to the beginning of 20th century saw scientific inquiry as the study of divine design.

As for the modern secular objection to the Judeo-Christian notion of man as the pinnacle and purpose of nature, one can only say woe unto mankind if that objection prevails. When man is reduced to being part of the natural world, his status is reduced to that of a dolphin. It is one of the great ironies of the contemporary world that humanists render human life largely worthless while God-centered Jews and Christians render human life infinitely sacred. Man’s worth is entirely dependent on a God-based view of the world. Without God, man is another part of the ecosystem, and often a lousy one at that.
