The long-held belief in the intrinsic value of human life is dying as the
influence of our Christian cultural heritage is being eclipsed by the rising
tide of secularism. In this interview, Larry and Professor Richard Weikart discuss the rise of secular philosophies that have promoted the idea that
humans are merely the chance outcome of impersonal forces, and thus
have no intrinsic purpose or value . . . These ideas have infiltrated our
popular culture and our legal, educational, and legislature systems to the
point where they devalue individual human life and deny objective
morality.
This is the first of a two-part interview. Part Two is available as a separate podcast from Hill Country Institute Live.
