The argument that life is rare cuts both ways:
(1) to the believer, it affirms that life is a miracle; that God loves us and must surely have providentially designed the universe for our benefit.
(2) to the non-believer, it affirms that life is an accident, and the continuation of life tenuous.
Hence, the post-Christian world dwells on man-made climate change or rather a series of catastrophe stories whereby life “as we know it” comes to an end. Pope Francis, in throwing his lot in with the progressive socialists on matters of economics and science, shows that he doesn’t really believe in God.
Praise God, the King of universe, who has preserved us alive and sustained us, who not only revealed himself to us in the Law, but provided for us a Redeemer!
(2) to the non-believer, it affirms that life is an accident, and the continuation of life tenuous.

Why is it when a gem or metal is rare, it’s precious, but not so with humans?
