Hey, I thought y'all guys might want to read the rough draft of my essay if y'all were in need of a laugh this morning.

he Biblical worldview is one of the most common and far reaching belief systems in the world. It is the perspective and way of thinking that comes from a belief that the Bible is the truth to live by. It has had people hold it so dearly that they would die rather than abandon it. It has toppled and built goverments, made monumental scientific discoveries, and has 2 major religions, Christianity and Judaism, following it. So how do people with this worlview think? We will specifically at what their belief is about themselves, the universe, and their God?

1. What is God like?
Biblical worldview starts with God. This God has no beginning or end, and created the universe by fiat; with these principles the BWV can't start anywhere else. The Bible also states that God never changes, so it starts and ends with exactly what they have now-Jehovah. Not only does this God have no limits by beginning or end, He has no limitations anywhere. Webster states that infinite means unlimited; boundess; endless. This an apt description of the Biblical God. Because God is infinte in all ways He is also omnipotent, omnipresent, omnificient, and omniscient.
Christianity is unique in that it has only one god, but God is a trinity--3 unique persons, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, who are 1. An analogy can be drawn to a ____ colony. The organisms are each individual, but make 1 cognitive being. The difference is that the Triune God has always been a Trinity. The 3 God-heads did not need to find each other and join to make 1. They have always been 1, and have loved and communicated with eachother before there was anything else to communicate to or love. The Trinity could have gone on infinitly like this lacking or needing nothing. But God wanted someone else, besides Himself, to love and comprehend Him. God could have created just a spiritual being capable of these 2 things, but the Biblical God is creative and creates some things just for His or man's pleasure. Therefore God not only created man, but created a whole other realm-the physical world. In this physical reality He created things to serve and give pleasure to man, and then placed man in it.
We now get to see God from a different angle- the angle of His interactions with His creatures, humans. It is consistent with how He was before the universe, because He never changes. In His relationships with man, Jehovah remains infinitely beyond man. Man is never equal with God and cannot ever sneak around, manipulate, or trick God. It is a Creator-creature relationship. And yet God does not remain at a lordly distance, sending down messages to remote minnions. Yahweh is immensly personal with all His subjects. He watches and cares for each at all times. He desires to be close with each person. All this because He loves them in such a special way that in the New testament it is given it's own special word to describe it: agape. It is a love that is sacrificial, unconditional, constant, and will do what's best for the reciever regardless of if it might pain the person or the Trinity. This draws an interesting contrast to other forms of love which never make the subject be accountable or grow in maturity or character. The Biblical God is both just and merciful, in that He does not take pleasure in the pain correction brings and seeks out all other ways first, but does not allow man to do whatever he pleases with no consequences.

2. What is the nature of the universe?
The BWV states that the universe as we now know it is abnormal and opposite to what it was designed to be and originally was. At the beginning there was no death, violent or accidental. There was no strife between animals over mates, food, or territory. There was no chaos or damage as we see now in natural disasters. The natural world was ordered from the largest gravitational pull of the planets to the smallest nucleus of an atom. Everything ran as it should with no exception. Man had all he needed for his physical needs of food, water, and habitat, as well as his desire to have work and the satisfaction of creating and nurturing. In short, nature reflected it's Creator's character clearly, and functioned to glorify Him and serve man.
Now things are not so perfect. Since the entrance of sin through man's actions the natural world has been distorted and damaged. We now have the second law of thermodynamics which states that all things have a downard drift. Things disintegrate, fall apart, and do not function as well as they could or should as time goes on. The earth is subject to natural disasters such as famine, floods, and the various kinds of storms, as well as pests in all forms of animal and plantlife. As well as that work is now hard. We have to struggle to survive and tame our habitat.

3. What is the essential nature of man?
Mankind is unique amid all the dwellers on this planet. Even primitive man is obviously human. There is an inbuilt ability in all people to be able to recognize animal from human. Despite similarities in the behaviour nothing in the animal kingdom comes close to what man is like. This is why people all over the world are revolted by murder in all it's forms, because we all recognize the value of human life. We have an inborn sense of right and wrong which is universal in all humans regardless of our culture and raising. All of mankind are spiritual beings, and all seek to understand and experience spiritually. We universally ask "Why?" and wonder where we came from and where we'll go. We will study and learn merely for the pleasure of learning. Humans will accept challenges and puzzles even if it would not benefit us except in the pleasure of doing it. But it would seem that man's nature is a paradox in that we can be good beyond how the animals behave, but it can stoop even below their level in wickedness.
When something hurts an animal it will learn to avoid it and will train it's young in the same way. But despite the fact that sin always hurts the performer, and frequently those close to him, we will go for the immediate gratification even when we know the pain further on will outweigh the pleasure now. We will delight and seek out sin. A sin that all people have from birth is selfishness, focusing on themselves and looking out for #1. We will be so insistent on our own way that we will use, manipulate, and even eliminate others to get it.
These 2 opposites, good and evil, inside us are because of respectively being made in the image of God and having a sin nature. How did these come to be in each human?
The Bible states that God created man in His Own image, meaning that we were spiritual beings who had His perfect nature except that we were not infinite in any form. He placed a man and a woman in a perfect enviroment, and communicated with and loved them there. He only placed one condition on them-that they should not eat the fruit of the Tree of Knoweldge of Good and Evil. Both the man and the woman made the choice to eat the fruit, and since that time all people have had a sin nature, and nature has had decay and chaos. The question that jumps to mind upon hearing this account is "If God knew that Adam and Eve would eat the fruit, why did He even make the tree?" The answer is found in why God made humans. God wanted someone to recieve His love, and to love in return. Love is a choice, so if humans had no way to love God, it wouldn't be love. So God created something very simple for them to choose not to do. Even now God offers a choice to the fallen human race- to live as He desires them to or to continue to rebel.
