“We are endowed with our rights by a Creator. If no Creator, then no rights. Put another way, Darwin hates you.” — Douglas Wilson, Mere Christendom
If there is no God, there is no standard of appeal beyond that which is currently over us for whatever it is they are currently doing to us. Might makes right (or at least it makes the weak do what it wants and call it right).
If we are all just the product of time and chance acting on matter, then nothing ultimately matters. We came from nowhere, have nothing to do, and are going nowhere. The image of God does not exist, so we can do to ourselves or each other whatever we can get away with, if we so choose, but we cannot be constrained to refrain for any other reason. That is the world that progress seeks to make in its own image.
“In the classical liberal order, there was an arbitrary desire to hang the rights of man on a great big invisible sky hook. But whenever you bolt this sky hook into the azure blue, it does not much matter how many extra Kantian bolts you use—the thing will simply not stay up there.” — Douglas Wilson, Mere Christendom
God made everything out of nothing.
Darwin makes nothing out of everything.
If God is real, everything has meaning.
If God is not, nothing means anything.
Don't forget that Darwin hates you (and your little dog too).
