WHAT IS MORE VALUABLE?



I read a question today by a theologian named Michael Kruse. Here's the question:

"Which is more valuable, a diamond or a bottle of water? Water is absolutely essential to survival. Go very long without water and we die. Yet many people live long healthy lives without ever owning a diamond. Surely a bottle of water is worth more than a diamond. Yet which costs more?"

How do we decide the worth of something? How do we deal with the fact that sometimes things have a worthy not tied to their utility or necessity? I'd be interested in what you think. - Steve

To the posting that asked me about the "extra gospels", I'll have a response in a day or so.
