I was interviewed by Albert Mohler last week about human exceptionalism, Spain being poised to legalize the Great Ape Project, Ecuador and “nature rights,” PETA, and other matters. Mohler is the president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and he comes to issues from a Christian perspective, while I analyze based on human equality and universal human rights. But whether one is religious, agnostic, or atheistic, basing our laws and morality on the intrinsic value of human life simply and merely because it is human is, I believe, the most important philosophical issue of our time.

Dear Reader,
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
