The concept of worldviews is an ongoing debate that continues to grow. A worldview is a belief about aspects in reality that shape the way one may think, know, and do. Everyone has their own worldview which really makes individuals who they are today. The good thing about worldviews are they can grow and change. Personally, I strongly agree with the christian worldview also known as, biblical worldview. A christian worldview is based on the Word of God. This word is the foundation in everything I say or do. There are many different worldviews that create a foundation for one’s life, which makes worldview one of the biggest debates today. Many may question what is real when it comes to different worldviews. How do you actually know what is real when it comes to worldviews? Since one’s worldviews may differ from another this question has many answers. Knowing what is real all depends on how an individual sees the world and what they believe in.

Many believe there is a afterlife while other believe that to be false. In so many words, afterlife is life later after one has passed away. As one who believes in God and the word, the afterlife plays a huge role in everyday life. Life after death from a christian perspective is either heaven or hell.

    If someone lived their life by the Bible and lived what is known as a “good” life and goes to Heaven, if there really is one, they would be rewarded. However, if there was no such thing as going to Heaven and one lived their life with good morality and in a way that God would accept, you would basically just die and be “in the dark,” knowing you lived up to the right standards. On the other hand, if there really is a Heaven and one didn’t live his/her life in a good way by committing murder, stealing, or cheating on his/her significant other, they would burn in Hell. Everyone is hedging their bets by either living the “right” or “wrong” way because no one really knows if there is another life after this one besides the deceased people. I believe in God and that there is such a thing as a Heaven and Hell but have not fully read the Bible; therefore, I cannot battle with a non-believer or believer.

    On page 172 of The Creation Myths of the North American Indians, Anna Rooth shows the connection between two different countries, Japan & America, and the story of a myth they both share. I always thought about how interesting it is that although countries are split far apart, the way people think and how they believe could still be the same or similar is some ways. Of course, we also have to take into consideration that due to a continental split. I am not quite sure, but if there were humans during that time, it could have been a factor in the similarities within myths.

    However, Zoroastrianism predates Christianity, therefore these ideas were already in place before Christianity was being transcribed. An article summoned up the belief that “....upon death and according to its earthly deeds and its acceptance of the Christian faith, the soul enters Heaven, Purgatory or Hell. There it awaits the Last Judgment when the dead shall rise again, the redeemed to enjoy life everlasting and the unsaved to suffer eternally” (Bodhinatha Veylanswami 40-41). This passage summarizes the Christian idea that upon death the soul will either enter Heaven, Purgatory or Hell depending on how that person chose to live their life. When Jesus returns all the living and the dead will either enter eternal paradise or eternal suffering.

    Incorporation of elements of the modern or postmodern worldview is not compatible with the Christian worldview. Modern and postmodern worldviews are based on human ideas and rejection of God.

This process was notated within the time frame of the Greco- Romans when Plato started to explain the order of the world without recourse to myth or divine authority (Goheen & Bartholomew, p. 72). Cultural acceptance of the belief there can be multiple perspectives allows for the
