Futility of a random chance world:but it's funny!

Found this at the Contemporary Calvinist's blog. Funny and thought provoking.

Something to think about.

Francis Schaeffer's Thought



A clip from the six hour long documentary he made "How Then Shall We Live?". I saw it some time ago and learned A LOT! What do you think. Some say here he is hitting on where being relevant took the church in the middle ages. Think about it. What say you?

When does life begin?

Or to put it in a way that makes people (B.O.) squirm: When do human rights begin? Here are a few people who don't think it's above their pay grade to talk about it. From First Things Blog (Frist things is a Christian/Catholic culture and philosophy journal):

When Does Human Life Begin?
Posted by Keith Pavlischek on August 18, 2008, 3:48 PM

Dr. Hymie Gordon (Mayo Clinic): “By all criteria of modern molecular biology, life is present from the moment of conception.”

Dr. Micheline Matthews-Roth (Harvard University Medical School): “It is scientifically correct to say that an individual human life begins at conception.”

Dr. Alfred Bongioanni (University of Pennsylvania): “I have learned from my earliest medical education that human life begins at the time of conception.”

Dr. Jerome LeJeune, “the Father of Modern Genetics” (University of Descartes, Paris): “To accept the fact that after fertilization has taken place a new human has come into being is no longer a matter of taste or opinion . . . it is plain experimental evidence.”

Rick Warren: At what point does a baby get human rights in your view?
Sen. Barack Obama: Well, I think that whether you are looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity, you know, is above my pay grade.
