Ecumenism is about unity and diversity is about the fact that societies are always a "multiplicity" of differing religious views (Religious Tolerance, 2015). According to Thomas Burnett, scientism as "efforts to extend scientific ideas, methods, practices and attitudes to matters of human social and political concern" (Burnett, 2015)
I support postmodern worldview because the theory proves that supernatural events do occur and it will continue to occur. (Paggit, 2009)
"Phenomenology is meant to enrich our understanding of health in adding to the disease-level analysis a level of analysis that addresses the questions of how the physiological states are lived as meaningful in an environment." (Svenaeus, 2001 p 87)
For example, "it is not hard to imagine how a physician with a very individualistic worldview might hold different assumptions about personal responsibility when conducting risk counseling, medication management, or planning for follow-up visits." (Tilburt, 2010 p 179)
For one, a Biblical worldview informs Christians that mankind has dominion over the earth as well as a responsibility to care for God's creation in ways that are in accordance with scripture. This means that scripture usurps science in every way in the Christian worldview, which conflicts essentially with the core tenets of secular thought (Newport, 1998)
¶ … worldview is a "mental model of reality -- a framework of ideas & attitudes about the world, ourselves, and life, a comprehensive system of beliefs," (Rusbult, n
¶ … worldview is a "set of presuppositions (assumptions which may be true, partially true or entirely false)," ("Four Major Worldviews," n
Scientism is a method of thinking about reality that strongly materialistic. Reality is only that which can be observed, catalogued, and analyzed, denying the reality of spiritual experiences as being anything other than psychological coping mechanisms (Leigh, 2015)
While pluralism permits tolerance of diversity in a pluralistic, heterogeneous society, the pluralistic point-of-view leads to weak worldview development due to there being no concept of absolute truth, and similarly, no concept of absolute right and wrong. Postmodernism shares much in common with pluralism in that it denies objective truth in favor of a relativistic one (MacPhail, n
For most Christians, the Word of God is the basis of worldview. The basis of such worldview assumes that whatever is said in the Bible is true and the view of the world is directed as described in the Bible (Durlak, 2008) Others hold worldview as a set of beliefs that are used for obtaining an understanding of the world
Worldview A framework that an individual uses to view reality and which helps the individual to make sense of life, as well as the world around, is described as a worldview. According to David Noebel, author of Understanding the Times, "[It's] any ideology, philosophy, theology, movement or religion that provides an overarching approach to understanding God, the world and man's relations to God and the world," (Ministry, 2016)
Most Christians believe in the existence of an absolute God and as such is self-sufficient and lacks nothing. This also entails that he is eternal and does not change (Rice, 2009)
As a thinking species almost all human being sometimes or the other have spent time thinking about. Such philosophical questions, for example, could be 'where did we come from?', 'why are we here?', 'what happens to us after we die?' and 'did we evolve or were we created?' The Christian worldview is based on a set of values that provides some answers to such philosophical questions that also constitute a guide for the worldview (Ryken, 2006)
There are also conflicting ideas and beliefs in the various forms of worldview about death and what happens after death. It is entirely up to an individual and his beliefs in spirituality and God that decide his views about what happens after death (Underhill, 2009)
