Personal Worldview Inventory

Introduction

Worldviews are the component that dictates how one thinks and feels in different situations. When someone is in a situation where they are unsure how to feel they often resort to their worldview. It is important to know your own worldview and understand other people’s. According to my Christian Worldview textbook, “A worldview is a conceptual framework, pattern, or arrangement of a person’s beliefs” (Dan Diffy). It is how one sees life and the world at large. And it is a commitment, a fundamental orientation of the heart, which can be expressed as a story or in a set of presuppositions which we hold about the basic constitution of reality, and that provides the foundation on which we live and move and

The spiritual realm is where humans go when they die. There are two different spiritual realms Heaven and Hell. Heaven is a beautiful place where God resides and Hell is an eternal furnace that is ruled by Satan. God created the universe and everything in it. Everything was created to please God. God created everything according to His perfect design. Humans we created to bring glory, honor, and praise to God and His perfect Son Jesus. In order to honor God we must try to live like Jesus. There is an afterlife for all humans, either heaven or hell. Only believers in Jesus Christ will go to heaven and all unbelievers go to hell.

The world was created by accident in a “Big Bang.” Humans are the most evolved of the animals on earth so therefore they are the higher beings. When people die nothing happens they have not spirit so death is just the end. It is possible to know things through trial and error. Everything can be put through the scientific method and found true. There is no right and wrong only electrical impulses in the brain. Human history is what we evolve from. We are to learn from the past.

Postmodernism

In our textbook it says, “Postmodern worldview assumes that the world is made up of energy, which can be manipulated” (Shelly 2006). The prime reality for Postmodernism is a spiritual one. The world is made up of spiritual matter. When a person dies they live on in the earth often as an inanimate object or plant. We know things just because we feel it. Right and wrong is just and illusion. Human history does not
