  1. DEVELOPING A BIBLICALWORLDVIEW

  2. Group Questions Pretend for a moment that you are on a debate team. The statement put before you is that human nature is good until it is corrupted by society. What arguments would you put forward in favor of that statement? Against it? Read “The Rousseau Lifestyle”. How does Proverbs 19:1 apply to his lifestyle?

  3. 3 Questions Where did we come from & who are we? What has gone wrong with the world? What can we do to fix it?

  4. Utopian Worldview Human beings are intrinsically good and, under the right social conditions, their good nature will emerge.

  5. Utopian Worldview

  6. Romans 3:19-20 Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.

  7. Christianity • Where did we come from(CREATION)  • God spoke the universe into existence & created life • What has gone wrong(FALL)  • The human condition is marred by sin • What can we do to fix it(REDEMPTION)  • God in His Grace has provided a way to be Reconciled to Himself in Christ.

  8. Rousseau THESIS Progress of civilization has been harmful for human beings, not beneficial

  9. Rousseau The New Man…is the agency of emancipation that permits the individual to develop the latent germs of goodness heretofore frustrated by a hostile society.

  10. Anatole France Never have so many been murdered in the name of a doctrine as in the name of the principle that human beings are naturally good.

  11. JB Watson Promised to bring up children with… “better ways of living,” who “in turn will bring up their children in a still more scientific way until the world finally becomes a place fit for human habitation”

  12. Clarence Darrow There is no such thing as a crime as the word is generally understood…I do not believe that people are in jail because they deserve to be. They are in jail simply because they cannot avoid it on account of circumstances which are entirely beyond their control and for which they are in no way resposible.

  13. Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
