Of the six worldviews listed, which two are most alike? Which two are the most dissimilar? Explain.
-
The most similar worldviews are Monotheism and Deism because they both believe in one God creating the world at the beginning and operating in and through creation. There are great differences between the higher powers, but they are alike in those ways.
The most dissimilar would be Christianity and Nihilism. Christianity reveals ways the world began, its purpose, and guides us on how to treat others and our culture. It addresses serious ntense purpose and meaning to life questions of the soul.
Nihilism seeks to prove that life is meaningless, and is a rejection of all religious principles and values. It deems us no greater than the animals.
-
The most similar worldviews would be Monotheism and Deism because they both share the core belief in one God creating the world at the beginning and that we are creations of God and everything on Earth was created by God. They differ in their views of God and the impact of God in the day to day life of people and the earth. They also differ in views on the purposes of God, but both share a foundation of a belief in a world created by God.
The most dissimilar would be Monotheism and Nihilism. Monotheism shows an intense purpose and meaning to life- being created by God and designed by God, whereas Nihilism is a complete rejection of everything that Monotheism is believing in. Nihilism seeks to prove that life is meaningless, and is a rejection of all religious principles and values.
-
The two most a like are Monotheism and Deism both believing in one higher power but very different on that higher powers intentions and ability to engage with its surrounding creation. Nihilism and Existentialism because nihilism seems to basically reject everything while existentialism seeks to find some meaning in everything.
-
Of the six worldviews listed, the two most like are Judaism and Christianity. Both believes in one God and that God is an external spirit who brought our material world into existence.
The two most dissimilar worldviews are Christianity and Naturalism. The Naturalist does not believe that there is a Creator but rather believes that matter is all that exists and the best way of exploring truth is through the scientific method. -
I would feel like Nihilism and Existentialism are most alike. Both of them would deny the existence of God all together and in a lot of ways try to find meaning in life through rebelling against the ways in which people have traditionally viewed the world. The two which are most dissimilar would be Monotheism and Nihilism. One would view the world from the perspective that God is creator and involved at a high level while the other would see God as nonexistent and any values that come from Him are baseless.
