Nobody here is saying that human life doesn't have value.
But does human life have objective value vs subjective?
Why is this not a moral dliemma if a dead leaf fallen from a tree above the tracks in on track A and a person is on track B?
Consider roaches on Track A vs people on track B?
Consider one person in your family on track A vs ten babies on track B, or ten friends on track B?
If there is no God and evolution is true (big bang), we are all the result of an accident. No purpose, no objective value, no cause. Just matter and energy reacting in space. You and I have no more value than a dead leaf. However we can pull just about anyone off of the street for this experiment no matter what their religious beliefs are and we have a moral dilemma when humanity is on the tracks.
Wouldn't it be strange if we all lived our lives as if humanity has objective value when no such value exists?
Do you think we can measure the moral decline of humanity by selecting non-human options on one of the tracks?
A train is coming, God is at the controls, all of humanity is on Track A and Jesus is on Track B. God chooses track B and humanity instead of offering gratitude curses God.
