Truth does not accommodate belief; belief has to accommodate truth. No one has ever made a proposition true simply by believing it.

Your worldview consists of your assumptions about the realities and values that govern you and the world in which you live.

Here's a question of fact or truth, and it has incredible bearings on how I approach my life: Am I, fundamentally, a material object that exists, gets organized by DNA, and exists for a little while, and then I stop existing — or am I an unceasing spiritual being with an eternal destiny in God's universe? Wow, what a difference.

The fundamental conflict in human life is the conflict between desire/will and truth. And that conflict affects everything we do, including what we do on the university campus.

I often define reality as what you run into when you're wrong, and often that is an unpleasant experience.

You are in a system that teaches a worldview without responsibly defending it.

Jesus has an answer to these questions. After all, he's — without question — the single most influential person in history.

Thoroughly consider the teachings of the Bible and the record of Jesus's people on the main worldview issues. Put the teachings to the test of life. Do the same for the other worldviews. If I am just my brain and everything I'm thinking and doing is chemistry, I want to know that. I'm not trying to hide from that—the big issue is not if you're going to stop existing. The real problem comes if you're not going to stop existing.
