Nancy Pearcey argues that viewing the human body as merely a product of blind evolutionary forces leads to a devaluing of its inherent worth and purpose, contributing to harmful social trends. She advocates for recognizing the body as intentionally designed by God, which affirms its dignity and provides a basis for ethical behavior. Pearcey critiques the materialist worldview that reduces humans to biological machines, leading to distorted views on sexuality, identity, and morality. Ultimately, she urges a return to a Christian understanding of the body as a sacred gift, reflecting God's image and deserving of respect.
