Universe: Spaceship Earth

The History Channel's "Universe" episode "Spaceship Earth" cannot refrain itself from asserting mankind's ancestors are microbial organisms.

The television program shows images of microbes, followed by tadpoles, frogs, and then continues on to finally reveal humans as the newest animals on the block. The evolutionists on the program happily note how similar we are to bacteria.

"Spaceship Earth" comes to a close by incorporating the biggest threat to mankind, yes, global warming. The closing comments give the idea that it's been a good run for us humans. Perhaps we were the most complex organisms on the surface of this planet. Let's build a spaceship too!

I didn't see anything uplifting about how we just happened to evolve into who we are. This reminds me of a comment by an atheist on a message board. He posted, "We are chemically no different from a piece of [expletive removed]. Why should we be treated any differently?".

I wouldn't recommend that person to defend human rights. Obviously, certain themes in shows like the "Universe" do not help in this department.

We have an inherent value because we are made in the image of God. The universe is indeed beautiful and will become moreso.
