Reply to Which distinctive of a biblical worldview would be least compelling to your non-Christian friends? How might you answer objections on this matter?

The Biblical worldview presents an ethical framework that demands an infinite amount of effort to pull off, to fulfill what is required of us. I would point out to them that we have hope despite this infinite demand precisely and solely because Jesus, the perfect human being, already fulfilled that requirement. He has proven that humanity and…

Reply to In analyzing a biblical worldview, which distinctive would be most compelling to your non-Christian friends? Why?

I think that how the Bible explains and presents a coherent view of reality would be the most compelling distinctive for the biblical worldview. Most other worldviews don’t seem to have claimed to present a compelling picture for why things exist and why we are the way we are, except for the other monotheistic faiths.

Only the monotheistic worldview presents a satisfying answer to the question of death in the form of a transcendent afterlife. Particularly, the Christian view of a heavenly yet bodily resurrection adequately provides a a hope for the future that is neither too unrealistic (since it has been shown to already have happened in the resurrection…

Reply to Do you think naturalism holds an adequate basis for ethical values? Explain.

If all we have is the observable natural world, and if ethical values are naturally determined by evolution and social norms, then that standard is too easily subject to change. Specifically, it can be subject to the whims of human nature and to our tendency to justify what we feel is right. Emotivism, which is the view that our emotions…

(I see a lot of other answers saying they see Monotheism as most greatly contrasted to Nihilism, but I think I slightly disagree because in my view, Nihilists believe essentially in nothing, hence their identities are effectively confused as they neither believe they are made in God’s image nor that they shape their own identities like… Read more

Reply to In your opinion, “Who am I?” is answered most differently between which two of the seven worldviews? Explain.

The monotheist believes that they are made in the image of God, whereas the existentialist believes that they are in effect their own gods, and how meaningful their lives are depends on what they individually determine it to be. These in my opinion are the 2 most differing worldviews because monotheists derive their identity from an…
