All right, everybody.
Welcome to the Dennis Prager Show, coming to you from Denver, Colorado, where last night it went down to 19 degrees, and may I say it felt it.
The joke is I... I go, as you all know, I fly and travel a great deal.
And I continue to make the mistake that I've made all of my life.
I think everything is Southern California.
So, I simply forget to take warm clothing.
And I had a sports jacket on, or a sport jacket.
Is it a sports jacket or a sport jacket?
Anyway, welcome to the show.
There's a piece in the Atlantic.
Which is, of course, on the left.
But I'm only mentioning that, so you'll understand this is not written by conservatives in a conservative journal.
And it is about the demise of the human being.
The people cheering for humanity's end.
A disparate group of thinkers says we should welcome our demise.
That's right.
Because after all, what really counts is Mother Earth and all the animals and nature.
This is a perfect example.
I mean, the word perfect is not overstated.
It is a perfect example of the conflict between the modern thinking and biblical thinking.
Biblical thinking is, and you shall dominate the earth and the nature.
You shall dominate nature.
Modern thinking tends toward, no, you don't dominate nature.
You basically allow nature to do what it wants to do because you are a nuisance on Mother Earth, on Gaia, the goddess of Earth.
That's it.
That's what is being peddled.
Look, I read to you from the New York Times all the people who subscribed to the New York Times who wrote in because they were reacting to an article on people deciding not to have children because of global warming.
They don't want to add a pollutant.
To the earth, and that's a human.
A human is a pollutant.
We expel carbon dioxide.
Many years ago I wrote a piece, How the Left Keeps Me Religious.
Now do you understand how literally true that is?
The people who mock the Bible, like the Stanford University band that I reported to you earlier this week during halftime Saturday night against BYU, the Mormon University, or as the Mormons prefer, the LDS University.
I know why they prefer it, but I feel so close to Mormons I could say it doesn't work because people don't know what LDS means.
So you just traded a word in for a word that they don't know.
Because nobody says Church of Jesus Christ is Latter-day Saints.
They say LDS. Anyway, it was said lovingly what I just said, and I'll leave that at that.
They were mocked, the Mormons were, by...
They had two women marry one another during halftime and mock the words that are said in a Mormon temple.
For when a couple, a Mormon couple marries.
They mock the left.
It mocks religion.
Those of us who believe in the God of the Bible are primitive.
And so the result is the belief that humans are much less significant and indeed, as I said, a pollutant on the face of the earth.
And so you have an increasing number of academics writing, and the New York Times had the article.
It wouldn't be that bad if humanity ended.
I read it to you many, not many, a few years ago.
I should look it up and read you some excerpts from that.
This is the thinking increasingly, of course not everybody on the left thinks this way, but it is the inevitable way to think.
There is nothing special about the human if there is no God in whose image the human is created.
Everything depends.
Everything good depends on what we call the Judeo-Christian value system, meaning the biblical worldview.
That's why I have written three volumes of a five-volume commentary on the Torah, the basis of the Old and New Testaments, the first five books.
And I promise you that if you read it, it will deeply affect your life.
It's called The Rational Bible.
The third volume just came out in October.
We're already in December, which is unbelievable.
Yep.
In the 2006 film Children of Men, the director Alfonso Cuaron takes only a few moments to establish a world without a future.
The movie opens in 2027 in a London cafe, where a TV news report announces that the youngest person on Earth has been killed in Buenos Aires.
He was 18 years old.
In 2009, human beings mysteriously lost the ability to bear children.
And the film depicts a society breaking down in the face of impending extinction.
Moments after the news report, the cafe is blown up by a terrorist bomb.
I gotta see that film.
Can't believe I didn't catch it.
So, it goes on to speak about the academics and philosophers.
The celebrated antinatalist, get the term, antinatalist, against birth.
The celebrated, celebrated, note that, antinatalist philosopher David Benatar.
