Unbelievable? 29 Jan 2011 - Human Value & Subversive Stories

Off-duty police men in Bogota, Columbia shoot street children because they consider them to be "disposables".  Using stories such as this Mark Roques asks whether value in human life can be found anywhere other than our being made "In the image of God".

Atheist Paul Thompson argues that we don't need a supernatural explanation for the value we place on human beings.

They discuss the issue of where human value comes from and Mark's "Subversive Questions and storytelling" method of apologetics.
