EVALUATION ESSAY

Which two worldviews you have learned about are most at odds with one another? Why?
In my opinion I feel that the two worldviews that I have learned that are most at odds with one another are Christian theism and Naturalism. In defining these I will be using five points as follows in my own words.
-Christian theism- believes that God is the creator of the universe and living beings on Earth.
-Naturalism- believes there is no God. Living being’s existence. Most do not understand where they come from and are still trying to find out.
-Christian theism- God created us in his image he gave us the ability to understand what is right from wrong.
-Naturalism- believes we are machines. Deals more on our personality and make up as an unexplained source. …show more content…

-Naturalism- is that you can do anything you want by making your own choices. no right or wrong.
-Christian theism- when we pass on we will enter the realm of God for eternity.
-Naturalism – believes when we pass on we will not exist anymore.
-Christian theism- Universe is an open system that God has control over and takes care of always.
-Naturalism – Is a closed system nothing changes.
Conclusion
Christian theism and Naturalism worldviews, I feel are the most at odds with one another. A good example, is the younger generation seems to be developing a worldview of naturalism in thinking they can do and say whatever they please and justify it by, expressing they just exist and there is no God. This is having no morals for anything but themselves. The Christian worldview to me is the existence of God from the beginning to the end. This holds a willingness to help others and

    These include the views that Christians are hypocritical and are more focused on rules and regulations than people, as well as several controversial standings such as homosexuality and political involvement. In fact, in Kinnaman’s findings, only an estimated 34% of young outsiders believed that Christians really cared about them (68). Additionally, UnChristian challenges the Christian community to step up to the plate and redefine what the world thinks of them. For each negative perception that is assumed by young outsiders according to Kinnaman’s research, he offered what he referred to as “new perceptions”, or how Christians should strive to be perceived by outsiders.

  • Athanasius Of Alexandria's On The Incarnation

    Christianity has always been subjective and ambiguous, which allows for theories and speculation to develop regarding the religion’s values and characteristics. A key matter in theology seeks to understand those values and to identify a model of living that guides people away from corruption to remain in God’s image. Athanasius of Alexandria’s On the Incarnation and Friedrich Nietzsche’s The Anti-Christ address this issue with viewpoints that directly contradict each other. Athanasius examines the Incarnation to defend his position that natural human desires corrupt mankind and suggests there is nothing to prevent evil and sin other than God’s salvation while Nietzsche asserts that corruption occurs from a loss of instinctive nature and proposes
