What is the worth of a human being? Who determines how much a person is worth? If we look at mankind from a purely self defining standard--if we are the ones who determine our own worth--then our only value is in what we are worth to another human being. Humanists value different people based on what they are worth to society, what they can contribute to the collective. It's simply man measuring himself against himself.

Think about the absurdity of that. Can you think of anything else in the world that gets it's value from itself? Does gold have any value unto itself or is it assigned a value by something greater.

Notice how the Bible defines our value. We are valuable because of whom we belong to. This makes us all precious and irreplaceable--everyone-- no matter how old, how young, how intelligent, how hard we work, the color of our skin, whether inside the womb or out. You see, we are valuable because we are human. In other-words, in order to qualify as immeasurably valuable, we need only to exists.
