In undergrad chemistry I remember a brilliant professor express his dilemma with dogmatic religion…how can one be so sure in their faith when there are so many different faiths? Or as Ricky Gervais grimly and humorously says: If I as an atheist deny 5,000 religions, how am I much different than a theist who denies 4,999 or 1 less. Touché Ricky. To Ricky I say, its pretty dogmatic to flat out deny all 5,000 religions that billions base their lives on and all of which he surely hasn’t fully evaluated/experimented with, and to the professor I wonder why he didn’t give up after the one thousandth attempt at reaching his experimental product..seems to be a dogmatic belief that there is a conclusion and that it can be found…or for dogmatic Ricky that there is no religious conclusion and if so, it cannot be found…Proverbs 8:17 “I love those that love me; and they that seek me early shall find me. “

He thinks thats a brilliant assessment. But he does the same he has to to live. 2+2=4 or it’s something other but you can’t build a bridge with the other. He could come to stop light and be open minded to myriad of options and die through the process. Truth divides through definition. We can talk about being open minded but we can’t live it.

Mention one theistic worldview that do not require man’s good works to please their deity
Mention one theistic worldview which teaches God came down to mankind
Finally, mention one theistic worldview that’s grounded in world history
