Doug Groothuis said, “The Christian faith’s analysis of human nature, I think, is incredibly compelling, because it takes seriously both our limitations and our moral failings, our failures, in many ways, and also takes very seriously our dignity, and our value, and our significance. It doesn’t emphasize one at the expense of the other. Blaise Pascal said we are like deposed kings. And what he means is that biblically we’re not the process of chance evolution, we’re not just an evolved ape…Neither are we gods and goddesses. We’re made in the image and likeness of God. We reflect something of God. We’re rational beings. We’re moral beings. We have purpose, we have intentions, but we’ve also gone wrong. We use our capacities for good and evil. Now when you look at human history you see tremendous achievements, human heroism, beauty in the arts. We see human beings devising incredible technologies that help us to master nature. But then those technologies end up acting back on us in ways such as the Holocaust and atomic bombs.” Do you agree with this line of reasoning? Why or why not?
