"The real issue in the moral, ethical, and philosophical world today is the question of final reality," so wrote Francis Schaeffer, shortly before his death in 1984.  He continued, "The Christian believes final reality is the infinite, personal God of moral absolutes who truly is there.  The humanist believes it is impersonal material or energy which has existed in some form forever, and is shaped into its present form by pure chance.  On this basis, man makes himself the measure of all things."
