Notwithstanding the incredible advancements since the end of World War II (i.e. modern medicine, knowledge, technology, travel, etc.), the world is getting worse. Scientific observation has clearly proven the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which essentially says the universe and everything in it are deteriorating13. Regardless of what we are told by society today (evolution and moral relativism), the evidence clearly points to the Second Law of Thermodynamics as objective, absolute truth. It is true for all people all the time our world is decaying! It has been doing so ever since the beginning. So I want to start therein the beginning. Maybe by looking at the beginning, we can have a fresh perspective on the worlda truthful worldview. Where can we learn about the beginning? I believe it starts with the Bible. We need to take a look at the world through Biblical Glasses.

Before proceeding, answer the following questions to see what presuppositions or preconceived notions you may have:

* Where did you come from?
*
* What is your worldview?
*
* Why are you here?
*
* What will happen when you die?

The four main interests humans have deep down inside are: Origin, morality, purpose, and death14. How do we know the answers to these questions? Can we be sure of the answers? Should we care about the answers to these questions? Why or why not? I have searched for and studied the truthful answers to the questions above; the answers say things todays popular worldview does not support.

The popular worldview of our society today is flawed. We see a gradual, yet explicit decline of morality, an increase in hyper-tolerance, the teaching of lies (such as evolution), and a distinct straying from the truth given to us by God.

The bottom line regarding a legitimate worldview is whether or not objective, absolute truth exists. If absolute truth exists, then it is only logical and wise to seek it out, learn it, and follow it, living according to it. If you think it is absolutely true that there is no absolute truth, then you are contradicting and deceiving yourself.

For example, the atheist claims God does not exist. To prove God does not exist, the atheist would have to be Godomniscient and omnipresent. Since no atheists have all the knowledge in the universe, they cannot be sure God does not exist in the knowledge they do not have. They must therefore logically admit God may exist, because no one can be sure He does not exist. Clearly the atheistic viewpoint is illogical and self-contradictory, just like the viewpoint saying it is absolutely true that absolute truth does not exist. Atheism is ignorant and irrational, and when atheists realize this, they generally become agnostic.

Agnostics say it cannot be known whether or not God exists. Similarly, agnostics may say it cannot be known whether or not absolute truth exists. In other words, agnostics are not sure, and they think no one can ever be sure. They do not have scientific proof, which is based on testing and repeatable observations, of God or truth; but they overlook the legal/historic proof, which is proof beyond a reasonable doubt based on a preponderance of reliable evidence15. If you are unsure about absolute truth based on scientific proof, then look at absolute truth based on legal/historic proof by answering this simple question:

Was Ronald Reagan sworn in (with his right hand on the Bible) as President of the United States of America in 1980? Of course, you will answer yes to the question. Is it true for everyone all the time? Of course it is! The argument posed against this fact is based on lack of scientific proofwe cannot know for sure, because we were not present at the ceremony; we did not experience the inauguration with any of the five sensesseeing, hearing, tasting, smelling, or touching. The response to this argument, based on legal/historic proof, is that all of the evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt, points to the event as having actually occurred. In other words, it is a fact; it is true. How do we really know something is true? What is truth?

Truth is the state of being factual and real16. Knowledge is defined as understanding truth or fact through reasoning and interpreting the examined evidence17. How do we know if absolute truth exists? That is where faith comes in to play. Faith is defined in the Bible as being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see (Hebrews 11:1). The word faith describes a belief that is held with an especially strong conviction18. Belief conveys conviction of the truth of some statement or the reality of some being or phenomenon, especially when based on examination of evidence19. A belief is a state or habit of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in some person or thing20. Trust describes an assured reliance or dependence on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something21.

These wordstruth, knowledge, faith, belief, and trustare not only clearly interrelated, but also very powerful. To summarize, knowledge of truth requires faith and trust in the belief that truth is factual based on examined evidence. We can trust, faithfully believe, and therefore have knowledge or know certain things are truthful and factual based on evidence!

All humans are finite beings living by faith, whether we admit it or not. We have faith in the past, living as if events in our lives, such as our births, did actually occur. We have faith in the present, that we do truly exist and have actual thoughts. We have faith in the future, living and making plans as if tomorrow will come despite having no knowledge of tomorrow. As I hope to show, we can trust, faithfully believe, and therefore know, based on the overwhelming evidence, that Jesus Christ is both the Son of the One, True God revealed in the Bible and Savior of the world. Since we (humans) are moved to action by our faith and beliefs, our lives will be forever changed by the evidence for the truth about God found in the Bible.
