Worldview Essay This semester of Christian Worldview has been beneficial for me learning more about all different types of worldviews. I started this class with a Christian background but a clean slate of not knowing what my true worldview really was. As I went through the semester, I gained tons of new knowledge to help me understand how my opinions matched with the different worldviews. In the beginning of the semester I did a worldview outline answering seven questions about different subjects of worldview. The first question asked, who is God and what are his characteristics?

This is related to the New Age worldview in that me as an individual wants to ascend to the highest plane of existence with spirits and beings helping me along the way. I still believe in this idea that God has a purpose for me and that I can achieve great things in this lifetime. The second question was on what exactly a human being is and what happens when they die. My answer to this was that the human being was God’s creation to store our soul. When we die, I think God puts us wherever he feels best that we can learn more knowledge and skills. This place might be heaven, hell, or maybe another unknown place in the universe. This is involved in the Christian worldview because God created us and it is his choice where we should go after we die. I believe in this idea and it goes good with my worldview. My third question was about what I believe the nature of the universe is. I said that the universe came from God’s creation of all kinds of matter and the natural occurrences throughout billions of years. I also said that there is many galaxies yet to be discovered and there could also be
