Edited from PhD

Twitter version I

Sire notes some theistic critics have found fault with naturalism, reasoning a personal God was behind the universe & that naturalism did not provide an adequate reason why human beings were valuable. 

Twitter version II

Human beings are unique, but so are gorillas, & there remains the problem of establishing the value of human beings within naturalism (Sire).
