*Ancient Babylon and modern Darwinian evolution.
- Emergence by impersonal chance.

- Human beings, their culture, religion, are by-products of fate.
*The beginnings of the current secular human pagan view of society.

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.
