Non-Christian Worldview Assignment: What is a worldview? A direct translation from the German word Weltanschauung, Elena Paola Carola Alessiato writes that, “it comes from the field of philosophy and literally signifies an all-inclusive ‘vision of the world’”.

In Genesis 2:15-20, after He created the first man, God brought animals into the Garden of Eden to find Adam a helper, and while he was searching, he also started naming the animals as well. The only command God gave him at this moment was to not eat from the tree of knowledge. This does put man above animals as well because Man was given dominion over all animals that God created before us (Genesis 1:28). Even during the times of Jesus, after his crucifixion and resurrection, instead of cursing out all that laid their eyes on him, he yet again said to us to spread the Word of God and help others be baptized in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19). Our purpose, as it was in older times all the way into modern day, are three commands: be fruitful and multiply, spread the Word of God, and glorify Him in all we do. During the seven days of creation in Genesis, especially when it came to man, he blessed us and told Adam and Eve to, “be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 1:28).

Even Paul’s writings to the church of Corinth tells them that the immoral and unrighteous of the world won’t inherit the kingdom of God, and they will not be accepted at the gates of Heaven (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). Morality is determined by whether you uphold the commandments given to us by God. Naturalists have a realistic approach to life thinking when they die, they cease to be overall. To Christians, we know we will go up to Heaven to receive judgment from Him and get the verdict on whether we are good or evil in His world. (2 Corinthians 5:7-10). If we lived righteously in His eyes isn’t up to us, but if we truly did serve Him, follow His Word, and did all to glorify His name will we be with Him in Heaven (John12:26) (84 words) In the worldview of Secular Humanism, how did the universe and humans come into existence if it was not through God and His Word? To secularists, everything in this world was and always has been in existence and it is defined through the term Matter. In the Secularism reading assignment in week six’s module,
