Be sure you answer both Part 1 and Part 2 of this assignment before submitting.

Part 1
After reading Chapter 2 in the textbook and the lecture for this topic, write a two- to three-
sentence answer to each of the six questions that form the basic components or personal
commitments for your worldview. Answer the questions about your own beliefs in your own
words, not what you think the Christian worldview believes. Keep this worksheet intact and only
add your answers under each question.
1. What is your belief about ultimate reality?
I grew up in a house that never went to church and I was given the choose to go to church
and see if I believe in anything or more importantly a God. Over time, I started to believe that
there is no God but just that the world is how it is and that shouldn’t stop you from doing
what you love.
2. What is your belief about the nature of the universe?
I honestly believe that the universe was just created by chance and that we are nobodies. The
world was made from probability.
3. What is your belief about human nature and the afterlife?
I believe peoples nature is being kind and mean. It changes on how one person was raised or
how that person can handle a problem in life. I don’t want to believe in an afterlife, I like that
idea that my time in the universe is limited and will never be immortal in any sense.
4. What is your belief about knowledge?
I believe knowledge is everything. Where the more you understand something the more you
can have clarity in your life. Which is why I love to be an engineer and work on problem top
understand the world around us.
5. What is your basis of ethics?
Just be kind. That’s all I have to say, don’t dislike other people because they are different just
be kind to people. You don’t have to love someone if you don’t like them just be kind and
respectful.
6. What is your purpose?
I want to go space and colonize mars and help humanity grow. That’s all. Nothing big like be
famous or something dumb like that just to help humanity.

Part 2
Answer the following two questions with a 250-550-word response for each.
1. Your answers to the questions in Part 1 form the basis of your worldview. Now that you have
articulated your worldview, evaluate it according to the practical test described in Chapter 2
of the textbook and the lecture. Can you live your worldview out in the world as we know it?
Why or why not?
I believe that my worldview would workout in the world we know it. I have that of my way
of thinking for quiet a few years and most importantly my thoughts of ethics of just being
kind. I do travel more than the average person and I know that my way of thinking is simple,
but it works weirdly. I don’t hate anybody, and I don’t think I will because I just can’t. And
it’s not because I believe in a god because I don’t. I’m just trying to be kind and it works and
that’s all.
2. Reflect on your current understanding of the Christian faith. In other words, what is the
essence of the Christian worldview? How does one become a Christian?

I see the Christian faith as a very long range of different believes and with different believes,
with that a long range of worldviews. I don’t understand the basics of any of them, there is a
god and people are nice because they want to get into heaven but that my be all wrong and I
really don’t know how to become a Christian or maybe it just to accept God.
