Notes from How Now shall We LIVE? By Chuck Colson and N. Pearcey Pps. 99 -100
The Road Map to Reality:
Every Worldview is a proposed Road-Map of Reality, a Guide to navigating in this world.
The Crucial Test is to ask whether we can live by it. If you find that you are continually splashing through rivers and crashing onto rocks and boulders then there must be something wrong with your Map. If you are living according to a worldview but keep bumping into reality in painful ways, you can be sure there is something wrong with your worldview.
Let's Test the naturalistic Worldview of Carl Sagan? Sagan literally canonised the Cosmos, openly plugging his personal Philosophy on his popular TV program. He transformed Science into a religion.
One consequence of His religion of the Cosmos was that he actively committed to the cause of animal rights. So he ought as he believed that humans developed from animals. It would be just as cruel and immoral to kill a cow as to murder a person. Animals, for Sagan, had the same value as humans.
However he bumped into reality in a very painful way. In 1994, he discovered he had myelodyspasia, a rare blood disease. With possibly just months to live he found out that his only chance for survival was to have a bone-marrow transplant. However the procedure that might save his life had been developed by research on animals. This kind of research was against his naturalistic religion and he was violently opposed to it.
However it did not take him long to decide to have the three treatments of bone-marrow transplant.. He eventually died in 1996. When came up against reality he abandoned his naturalistic worldview and came to the Biblical Worldview which says that humans have a value transcending that of plants and animals.
Christianity is not just a religion of narrow personal piety and corporate worship. It is also an objective perspective on all reality, a complete worldview.
ONLY CHRISTIANITY STANDS UP TO THE TEST OF PRACTICAL LIVING. IT GIVES US AN ACCURATE ROAD-MAP FOR ALL OF LIFE.
Creation is the first element of the Christian Worldview, the foundation on which everything else is built. It is the basis of Human Dignity, for our origin tells us who we are, why we are here, and how we should treat one another.
