Just a note, God, to ask you to open the minds, hearts, eyes and ears of my daughters. Soften their hearts to your instruction and help them to make the right choices. Amen

Transcendentalism

What's really real is spiritual; physical is not really there or just a manefestation of the spirital; Gnosticism Creator and creation are blurred. God is not a person; God is a force or energy; something we can tap into.

Christians keep a distinction between God and creator; we are as physical as we are spiritual. Key passage: In the beginning, God.. . . He is independent of His creation.

Incarnation is really important to Christians; Gnositicism trivializes the physical.

naturalism

Philosophical Naturalism. only the physical world that we can see touch see hear exists. If we can't measure it; it doesn't exist. No God, no human spirit.

The cosmos is all there is, ever was, or ever will be. Science is dominated by naturalism. Modernism removed authority of God and put it on humans - with that came promises of utopia through sexual freedom (Sanger, Frued), economic determinism (Marx). Post-modernism by and large is still modernistic - they don't like man being in charge, but instead of God they use community. No one has the right to say anything is wrong or right. Only different.

The enlightenment embedded naturalism in all major cultural institutions of western civ: law, politics, education, sociology, science and technology.

Best thing to do is always ask questions. Respond like Jesus with a better questions.

What do you mean by that? How do you know that's true? What's that assuming about reality?

Worldviews have feet. Christianity has become a religion of the heart, not the head.

Three big worldviews

Three big worldviews: Naturalism - assumes that reality is only physical. Man is not a creation of God, but God is a creation of man. The things that we can be sure of and know are the things we can test through our senses - so Science is the arbitor of truth and

Transendetalism - Spiritual is primaryreality New Age -

Theism - reality is both physical and spiritual. Reality is handiwork of a personal God.

Presuppositionalism determines the outlook.

e.g. Empiriism dimisses God because the definition of science won't allow IF everyone were honest, science would have to admit to limitations. No one is neutral.

Worldview gives us a foundation to evaluate our world

Basics about worldview

The Summit

Everyone has a lens - a basic framework of belief that shapes they way we see the world. Like glasses we see everything through this lens. Ideas have consequences; histories.

Basic assumptions that affect how we see everything else.

Opinions are a result of our worldview.

Battle of ideas is Battle of definitions

Worldview comes from many places. Some people just catch it like a cold. TV, movies, games, facebook, preachers, textbooks, homes, families, celebrities.
