More nut logic

Aping Human Rights | Christianpost.com

This evolutionary, chance world view of life leads to a form of "speciesism" which maintains that no one species has any more worth, dignity, or value than another. Human beings are nothing more than the "best of the beasts"—and that, quite by accident. Such a view of life is very different from that found in the Bible. The Scriptures teach that human beings are the pinnacle of creation, having been made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). They have been "crowned with glory and honor" (Psalm 8:5) and given "dominion" over the rest of creation (Psalm 8:6-8, Genesis 1:27-28). Human beings are so loved by their Creator that God sacrificed His only Son so that those who believe in Him could have eternal life (John 3:16, 1 Peter 1:18-19). The biblical view of man is very different from that which inheres in the evolutionary, chance world view of life.

The Bible having been written by men, duh.

This piece of Christnut opinion comes in response to this news:

Back in March, The Great Ape Project reports, the Balearic Parliament announced its approval of a resolution to grant legal rights to great apes. According the Pedro Pozas, Executive Director of Great Ape Project, Spain, "the decision of the Balearic Government to approve this Proposal, makes it a world-wide leader in the protection of the great apes and their habitat, as well as in the support of their rights." A similar proposal was presented in Spain which would eliminate the idea of ownership when it comes to apes, seeing human caretakers as "moral guardians" (similar to the guardians that take care of orphan children, or seriously handicapped adults).

Conclusion:

Secularists repudiate the notion of special human rights conferred by the Creator because they deny the very existence of the Creator. They maintain that we weren't created in the image of God; rather, God is a creature of our imagination. We evolved gratuitously from the slime. We are little more than grown up germs, no different qualitatively than the rest of the animal kingdom. If the secular views of the socialist coalition prevail, a great leveling will take place. Man will be demoted from his exalted status as bearer of God's image to simply the best of the beasts. Mark it down—human rights will be diminished in the process. After all, ideas do have consequences.

All quite mad. "Secularists" don't repudiate human rights at all, of course. They simply maintain they're human rights, and not God-given. Extend them to the apes? Why not? Who does it hurt?

The Christnuts, that's who. It blows a hole in their whole made-in-his-image fantasy. Well, that's a good thing, surely?

Still it's such a pleasure to hear them squeal.
