January 16, 2022 Speaker: Mahlon Smith Series: Resolve to Think Like a Christian in a Secular World

Passage: Daniel 2:1–28

Morning Series: Resolve to Think Like a Christian in a Secular World

Human Origins, Darwin’s Lies, Biblical Truth. Daniel 2.

What is a worldview: A worldview is a system by how anyone views the world to answer life’s deepest questions.

 

1. Why Darwinism fails, and why the Biblical worldview can explain life’s meaning. Daniel 2:1-11

*Ancient Babylon and modern Darwinian evolution.

- Emergence by impersonal chance.

- Battle for survival and death led to everything & humanity.

- Human beings, their culture, religion, are by-products of fate.

 

*The beginnings of the current secular human pagan view of society.

The Denial of God and Biblical Human Origins – 1750-1900

Darwinism fails practically, scientifically, internally.

 

*Consider the difference of the Biblical worldview.

- God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1

- God made everything, human beings, without death & conflict.

- God desires to redeem human beings as adopted children.

 

2. Only a Biblical worldview of origins can explain life’s purpose. Daniel 2:12-28

*Only a biblical worldview can demonstrate that life has a purpose.

 

*The God of the Biblical worldview.

- God is real, He is there. Daniel 2:17-18

- God is revelational, He is not silent. Daniel 2:19-22

- God is relational, He is not absent. Daniel 2:23

- God is redemptive, He wants you to be saved. Daniel 2:24-28.
