3 Understanding Biblical Worldview Introductory Worldview can be a broad subject. It has so many categories that can be a subject for discussion. It is a philosophy of life, and without the thoughts, curiosity, assumptions, or questions, humans would not have or try to attempt to answer the fundamental question of life, the nature of reality. The attempt to understand the creation of the earth, energy, and all living things. Everyone has an opinion. If enough people believe in this opinion, it becomes a worldview. In the next chapter, I will try to explain the definition of worldview. I will try to explain different types of Worldviews.

4 Understanding Biblical Worldview Defining Worldview To define Worldview, you must understand the concept of thought and ideas. The Interpretation of the world: understand what is reality and what is not. Well, at least hold some intelligent vision of life. One definition of Worldview is “A world view, or intellectual current, is one of the essential attributions of people because it exposes assumptions and intellectual commitment regarding the nature of reality. It is a commitment, a fundamental orientation of the heart, that can be expressed as a story or in a set of presuppositions that we hold about the basic constitution of reality and that provides the foundation on which we live and move and have our being.” (GAIFERDON) A worldview covers the common questions of who, what, when, where, and how. For example, who created the universe, how was it made, where the person began it, and what was their purpose? To answer these questions, a series of events will form with more questions. People started developing faith, government, and human relations by trying to answer the basic questions. One of the views that I would like to describe more is the Biblical Worldview. In the material my class is learning from, the definition is as follows: “ Seeks to understand life based on the teachings of the Bible. A biblical worldview includes principles that can be applied and adapted to any cultural setting and topic, ranging from one’s work to marriage to government.” (Hindson) Biblical Worldview is what Christians base their faith on, which comes from the scriptures. I would not say that I am a solid and knowledgeable Christian of the scriptures, but I have faith, and I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and God's way of living a Christian life.

5 Understanding Biblical Worldview Humanity Came into existence. How did humanity come into existence, and what is the origin of the universe? This has been a controversial subject since the beginning of time. The Scriptures have the answer: " In the beginning, God created the heaven, and the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. the earth." Genesis 1:4 KJV Scientists have been trying to study the unknown areas of the universe. and they still can not find an answer. A famous scientist, Albert Einstein, said, “ Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind .” (Coyne) Scientists study facts that you can see, touch, and smell. They research ideas and try to come to a conclusion. A scientist tries to find a rational reason. Do they succeed? They are still looking for what is in the universe. Are they looking for heaven? Are they still trying to figure out how the world was made? How did humans come about? They have discoveries but no accurate answers. The Bible never changes. The Scriptures always come out to be true. The book of Genesis tells all the origin of the universe, humans, planets, heaven, solar system, and atmosphere. To name a few.
