Biblical Worldview
1. A Creator made the world and everything in it.
2. All things exist to serve God, the Creator, and give Him glory.
3. Since God made all things, He alone can explain their purpose and meaning.
4. As Creator, God sets the rules for the proper use for everything.
5. Mankind is fallen and marred by sin. Sinfulness corrupts our thinking and actions.
6. God has chosen to communicate with us and this communication is in His Son, Jesus, and the Bible.

Humanism
1. Everything evolved from blind, random processes.
2. Therefore, there is no design, plan or purpose to life.
3. As the highest form of evolution, we are free to create our own definitions and rules for everything.
4. All things exist to serve us, glorify us and give us pleasure.
5. We are inherently good and wise but are sometimes marred by the actions of others or the injustice of society.
