• W265683826 abstract "Is There Hope for Common Ground? From the very beginnings of written history, mankind has pondered the mysterious nature of his own origins. In the Book of Psalms, King David poetically questions, I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? (Psalms 8:3-4, NIV 1995) By contrast, the renowned 19th century naturalist and preeminent evolutionist Charles Darwin renders different view, Man may be excused for feeling some pride at having risen, though not through his own exertions, to the very summit of the organic scale; and the fact of his having thus risen, instead of having been aboriginally placed there, may give him hope for still higher destiny in the distant future. But ... with his god-like intellect which has penetrated into the movements and constitution of the solar system--with all these exalted powers--Man still bears in his bodily frame the indelible stamp of his lowly origin. (Darwin 2004, 563) The opposing nature of statements such as these have characterized the intellectual battlefront between religious and scientific thought to claim the ultimate explanation of man's place in the universe. So when author Ralph Waldo Emerson so simply states, Man is piece of the universe made alive, clear question emerges: Is man merely random material of the universe, or does he indeed possess spiritual destiny? On the cover the November 13th, 2006 issue of TIME Magazine, the sophisticated double helix of the DNA molecule appears to cleverly unwind into the simple shape of Catholic rosary. (Van Biema 2006, 48) Beneath this image lies the caption, vs. Science. Once again, the popular model of scientific understanding and history of religious Christian thought seem to have provided us with two polarized explanations to the question of mankind's ultimate origin: either humans are advanced animals evolved by chance with no ultimate purpose and destiny, or humans are created in the image of God and purposed to live in eternal fellowship through the saving grace of Jesus Christ. So which explanation leads to the ultimate truth? Can either explanation be proven? More difficultly, is there even hope for common ground between science and religion? Defining Worldview Perhaps the question of whether science and religion can ever establish common ground may be answered in the choice of 'lens' by which the world is viewed. Taken from the German word weltanschauung, meaning 'a look into the world,' person tends to catalogue their particular beliefs about the most significant ideas of life such as God, the universe, knowledge, values, history, and society into big picture called worldview. A worldview, then, is semiotic system of narrative signs that creates the definitive symbolic universe which is responsible in the main for the shape of variety of life-determining, human practices. (Naugle 2002, 329-330) Because people's behavior is shaped by their most basic and ultimate beliefs, their chosen worldview forms powerful set of presuppositions that creates the core values that will guide their decisions and actions. Some of the most powerful questions we may ask during the course of life are those that deal with our past, present, and future: Where did I come from? What is my purpose in life? What will happen to me when I die? (Brush 2005, 13) Answers to these types of questions draw heavily upon the perspectives of worldview for direction. Author Ronald Nash adds that worldview is a conceptual scheme by which we consciously or unconsciously place or fit everything we believe and by which we interpret and judge reality. (Nash 1988, 24) So worldview forms the mental framework to organize what one considers to be real, true, good, or beautiful. When it comes to the development of worldview, there seems to be no neutral territory. …" @default.
