  1. DEVELOPING A BIBLICALWORLDVIEW

  2. 3 Questions Where did we come from & who are we? What has gone wrong with the world? What can we do to fix it?

  3. Escalator Myth Also known as the “myth of progress” is the idea that history is moving forward toward an earthly utopia brought about by human means. We are gradually ascending toward a heaven on earth – a paradise of our own making.

  4. CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW TIMELINE CREATION THE CROSS SECOND COMING ETERNITY SIN HUMAN PROGRESS EARTHLY UTOPIA LIFE HEGEL‘S MYTH OF PROGRESS TIMELINE

  5. Jean-Paul Sartre There are no divine judges or controllers, the world is all there is, our existence is all we have. From No Exit, “You are your life, and that’s all you are.”

  6. Existentialism The philosophy of meaninglessness. Life is absurd. No meaning exists, so you can only create meaning through your own choices.

  7. Balfour [Mankind’s] very existence is an accident, his story a brief and transitory episode in the life of one of the meanest of planets.

  8. Question • Why in the world will people believe in such absurd theories while rejecting Christianity? • Because the facts support naturalism • Because they have adopted an anti-Christian worldview • Because humans are rebellious and desire to dethrone God

  9. Hemingway Life is “a short day’s journey from nothingness to nothingness.”

  10. Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.

  11. Real Salvation Christianity begins with an accurate diagnosis of the human dilemma. Christianity also provides the only answer to the problem of sin. Christianity’s offer of salvation is based on historical truth.
