Humanistic worldviews destroy or attempt to destroy the value of human life. The value of human life is immeasurable. Each life is created by a loving God who has a purpose for everyone that exists. However, humanistic worldviews don't believe this. Their worldviews detract from the value of human life. One of the ways they detract from the infinite value of human life is by their unwavering belief in evolution as apposed to creation. For example, if one believes in the theory of evolution, he believes that he came from a chemical accident therefore reassuring in his mind that there is no purpose for his existence. When human life is put on the same level as animals it is valued as such. After all we eat animals, but why not humans? Humanistic worldviews also believe in natural selection, or survival of the fittest which states that only those supremely equipped to survive will make it to the next generation. Consider this idea for a moment. Natural selection states that only some will make it to the next generation. The others will just simply die out because they are not properly equipped for life. This theory in itself states that life in itself is just a competition between the intellectually weak and the strong or a "battle for existence". This says that only a chosen few can even survive. The rest are just to stupid to even succeed in the "battle for existence". This type of worldview says that life is nothing more than an intellectual struggle that there is no purpose for. How can one who believes such an absurd theory possibly see any purpose or importance in life at all? This can ultimately lead to suicide if one is very firm in this belief.
