Why Human Rights Fail Without God (And What Schools Aren't Teaching) | Frank Turek
Cross Examined
If God doesn’t exist, do human rights actually exist? In this powerful 17-minute interview, Dr. Frank Turek breaks down why our Declaration of Independence hinges on a Creator, why objective moral rights require a Right-Giver, and how the Christian worldview provides the essential foundation for human civilization and freedom.
From analyzing the 3 core arguments for God's existence (Cosmological, Fine-Tuning, and Moral Law) to sharing Dennis Prager’s famous "2 AM Alley Test," Frank exposes the critical flaw in modern public education and makes a compelling case for why every student needs to evaluate the claims of Jesus Christ.
