Episode notes
Worldview as Map and Story
- A worldview is like a map, describing how the world really is and guiding navigation through life.
- Christianity offers a coherent, true story that fits reality and helps us navigate the metaphysical and moral terrain.
Evil Challenges Atheistic Worldviews
- The problem of evil exposes contradictions in atheistic worldviews that deny objective morality and a moral rulemaker.
- Christianity, acknowledging evil and providing resolution, better fits observable reality.
Evaluate Worldviews Logically
