Zarinna scattered her gaze around the class, eyeing each of the students that had been with her for the last three months as she continued to speak. “Once again class, I present these views to you objectively. I will not try to persuade you to believe in a particular view, but what I will require… is for you to look into these views, see how they coherently match with reality, and how its logical outworkings will affect your life.” Zarinna explained.
“Every worldview has an implication class,” She began, “Every belief has a consequence, which means it is very crucial for us to reconsider all our beliefs, theistic or not because it will greatly affect how we live our life.
“By the end of this chapter, I want you to be able to answer these following questions; What exactly is my worldview, Is my worldview coherent, and Does my worldview answer the four main questions of life, namely, Origin, Meaning, Morality and Destiny.” The students began to take notes, writing in haste to keep up with her pace.
“Got it?” The class nodded in response.
“Okay, so what I will be presenting to you first is The Evolutionary Theory by Charles Darwin, we will be taking a closer look at how this theory actually works.” She declared, and instantly she saw her student’s eyes gleam with curiosity as some of them shifted in their seats, anticipating her next words.
“I believe that most of you have heard this theory closely related to science. Most educated people nowadays profess this theory as the best one to believe because it doesn’t require a person to perform a 'leap of faith' and because of it’s ‘scientific evidence.’ ” Zarinna took in a breath, preparing herself for what she had to say. “But before we get into this, let me tell you something that no other teacher might have told you before. Believing that we have evolved from Apes, without being able to see it happen before our eyes, is but another leap of faith.”
Silence dominated the room, and Zarinna continued to speak. “So, let’s get into this worldview! Let me explain it to you in simpler terms. The Evolutionary Theory believes that in the beginning, there was nothing. And from this nothingness, came everything."
Zarinna opened her book as she explained, comparing her words to the written text to be sure all her statements were correct. She explained The Big Bang and the Evolutionary Process of Natural Selection thoroughly; making sure the students understood the theory very well.
Zarinna remembered one of her instructors back in her second year, how she always enforced them to exercise Tolerance towards differing beliefs… but has always been so bitter when the Judeo-Christian Worldview is raised.
How could they be so enthusiastic about Tolerating other beliefs and not be able to tolerate Christianity? She remembered herself ask. It has always been a glaring Irony to her, and it became the reason she had vowed to become an unbiased teacher.
She knew the Truth, she knew that although others oppose, it is the Judeo-Christian Worldview that held a coherent answer to the Four Main questions of life. But she wouldn’t force her students to believe it, she wanted them to discover it themselves. She wanted to stir her student’s to become Truth-seekers. For, after all, she knew that those who seek… will find.
