My name is Asia Harvey. I am eighteen years old. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I am a freshman in college majoring in communications. Worldview to me means how everyone in the world interprets reality. I believe everyone has a worldview and it is influenced by our ethics, morals, and family values. It can also be influenced by what we hear, what we read, what we see or who we associate with. Worldview is mostly influenced by religion and science even though, a worldview can and do change. I believe the Christian worldview deals with the belief in the Bible. It leads me to believe that God created the universe in six days and on the last day he rested and that I am God's creation put on earth to fellowship with him and govern …show more content…
They are young earth creationism, old earth creationism, and theistic evolution. Young earth worldview is the belief that everything was created in six days, twenty-four hours a day, thousands of years ago. This Christian worldview says that everything was made over a twenty-four period, each day he made something different. For example, The first day God created was light so that he can separate light from darkness, since night and day. Every day after day one was something new up until day six. He separated waters above from the ones below, He made the sun and moon, He created birds in the air and fish in the sea, he made creatures, and he made mankind all within those six days. There was a total of six days of creation and a seventh day God rested. Old earth creationism is the belief that when God made everything a billion of years ago. Theistic evolution is the belief that God's “method” of creation was a natural evolution, and that everything evolved naturally. The Bible provides a clear understanding of creation in the first two chapters of the bible which is Genesis. Genesis explains the story of the creation of the earth and how things were made in the beginning. The basics of Genesis is that God created the earth in a matter of six days and that he rested on the seventh day. Genesis chapters 1-2 tell the accounts of the creation of the
The scientific method is a tool that enables a person to seek out new knowledge, or correct and integrate new knowledge. It is composed of eight individual steps: which start out with defining a question, gathering information and resources, form an explanatory hypothesis, test the hypothesis by performing an experiment and collecting data in a reproducible manner, analyze the data, interpret the data and draw conclusions that serve as a starting point for new hypothesis, publish results, and ends with a retest. The steps can be grouped into four different essential elements: operation, observation, model, and utility function.
The Old Testament of the Holy Bible gives many examples which provide modern man with guidelines for the use of scientific method. Millam (2008) explains that there is an underlying order in nature demonstrated by the patterns and regularities of God’s creations. These regularities can be seen in the forces of nature and are stable throughout space and time (Millam, 2008). The original classification of species, use of precise measurement, and even the first account of scientific research, are all included in the Old Testament of the Holy Scriptures. God gives scientists some clear frames of reference for seeking knowledge and truth in science.
How did the earth and everything on it come into existence? This is a question, that for the Christian worldview is answered by the Bible, in Chapters 1 and 2 of Genesis. The Bible makes clear to it’s readers that God existed before anything else. The creation account in Genesis 1 splits creation into 6 days and a 7th day of rest. The first day God created the earth and Heaven as well as day and night. The second day God separated the earth from heaven to create the sky. On the third day God separated the waters on earth so there would be dry land. He created plants and trees that could bear fruit and seeds. God made theses plants so that they would be able to keep growing from the seeds that fell from them. On the fourth day God created the
What is a worldview? On the word of Dr. Lew Weider & Dr. Ben Gutierrez (2013), "A worldview is the reflection of ones' heart; or internal existence, ones' mentality, feelings, and desires. The complete process that brings forth one's beliefs."
I have to agree with you Kesha this course did shed light on and let us explore different worldviews than our own Christian worldview. It placed emphasis on how important it is for us to understand other worldviews in order to be able to get along with non-Christians. Our world has become a society of multi cultures, and in order to be able to understand and be able to communicate with these other cultures we need to understand where they are coming from. No matter what type of worldview a person has, each person has the capability of knowing right from wrong, and good from evil, and each person has value within themselves. As we go onto our future careers as Administrators we will need to fall back on what we learned in this class. It
How are “schemas” in keeping with a Christian Worldview and how will you use this understanding when treating clients?
The Bible tells us, in Genesis that God created us in his image to be the caretakers over all the animals He created before us. God first created Adam then created Eve from Adams rib. As a Christian, we believe this because it is in the living word. For Muslims, the origination of mankind is different. Instead of the Bible, Muslims have the Qur’an.
How Christian world view impact my career Having a Christian worldview is important in any field of study and workplace. A person who has a Christian worldview perceives the world from a biblical stand point. Having a Christian worldview is a life style. We choose to have a Christian worldview. We choose to live a life like Jesus did and when someone lives like this it affects everything they do.
I believe each of us, as health professionals, have felt the calling on our lives to serve and help others. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” God has a perfect path set out for each of us. God is using my education to help improve the populations overall health as a tool to reach millions for his glory. “Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” Proverbs 16:3. I wholeheartedly believe that God is using me to love and help my community become healthier in both a physical and spiritual sense.
A worldview is one’s presuppositions and values that a person tries to use to understand the world around them. A presupposition affects how we believe and reflect on how we view Politics, Science, and our ethics. A Christian world view helps us to interpret God, Jesus, ideas, beliefs, convictions, and our habits of the world. The cool thing is that everyone has a worldview whether they think it or not there isn’t such a think as “worldview neutral” because believing in not worldview is a worldview. God says in Matthew 12:30 “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters” and in Luke 9:50 “Do not stop him, for whoever is not against you is for you” so being for God is follow his holy world the bible. So, when we read the bible it says, “That everything you do in the name of Lord Jesus, Giving thanks to God The Father through him”.
Humanity is impermanent, a collection of five aggregates, or composition: body, consciousness, volition perception, and emotions. It does not matter why we are here. (Lefebvre, 2011)
This paper will explain to you the Gospel that makes up the Christian Worldview. I have broken this down into four sections. God, humanity, Jesus, and the restoration. I am also including my own analysis of these sections as well as my personal view of how I interpret the Christian Worldview into my own lifestyle. By the end of this paper you will have an understanding of the insight on what it means to possess a Christian Worldview.
Worldview is perspective on life and the world around us. Worldview is individual to each person, encompassing a variety of factors. In their book, Contemporary Worldviews, Lew Weider and Ben Gutierrez describe some of these contributing factors: “ A worldview, then is a response of our heart or inner being; our intellect, emotion, and will. It is the total framework we bring to decision-making” (59). For the Christian, it is imperative to base worldview on biblical principles. Applying scripture to the five topics that encompass a worldview, origin, identity, meaning, morality, and destiny, will greatly contribute to a better understanding of what is means to have a biblical worldview.
A worldview can be described as a particular conception of the universe and its’ origin based on a person’s values that come from influences such as religious, societal, and perceptional factors. It can help ground a person and it serves as an explanation of reality and the nature of one’s existence. A person of Christian faith bases their worldview around the teachings of God and the Holy Bible. By studying the Christian worldview, one can learn about the way they perceive the world through God, humanity, Jesus, and restoration.
Have you ever wondered how you make important decisions? Do you choose your first option, or do you analyze and make an informed decision? Whatever you decide is being influenced and driven by your worldview. A worldview is our own intuition of the world. (Weider & Gutierrez, 2013) “Worldviews are theories of the meaning of life, speculative and practical, concerned both to explain the human condition and prescribe a pattern of life.” (Hand, 2012) There are three main dominant worldviews around the world. These are Theism (belief in God), Naturalism (belief that there is no God), and Pantheism (everything is part of God). Our worldview encompasses our perspectives of many different aspects of life. We do not realize it but a
