If you were less biblically inclined, you might just be smarter in science. Hashtag, evolution.

My worth is first and foremost dependent on me. What others think is useless.
I mean, I get it. Being a part of a religion means that you feel better about yourself due to how others are mindlessly willing to inform you of how great you are despite backing it up with any real evidence.
How does evolution explain the why? Why is it so important for me to be smarter in science? Why do you base my worth on how closely I agree with your belief in evolution?
So your worth is based on your idea of yourself. When your idea of yourself changes so does your worth. That doesn't make your worth intrinsic. It makes it an arbitrary idea. When you die your worth dies with you so your worth is imaginary. Is this true if not then why?
What if people don't agree with your view of your self-worth? What if they deem you less than and have the power to put you in that position how do you know what the truth is about you?
Also how do you know that you give yourself worth? How told you that? It seems to be a common narrative in society to look inside yourself and conjurer up your own self-worth. What if that kind of thinking goes out of style where will you get your worth from then?
