With your question you mentioned that this month marks the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth (Feb. 12, 1809) and observed that evolutionists will likely use this event to promote their worldview. Then you asked if we plan to promote our worldview as a countermeasure.

Our witness to the world includes a rejection of Darwinian evolution. Sharing our beliefs with the world exposes people to the basis of our worldview, a word you wisely used in your question. A worldview is a person’s set of assumptions about the basic makeup and nature of the world and universe—and a person’s place and purpose in it. A fully developed worldview gives answers to life’s basic questions. The worldview based on Darwinian thought differs mightily from that drawn from the Scriptures with its creation account. People should understand this.

The Darwinian worldview

Historical evolution assumes that all observable occurrences can be explained by natural forces. The physical universe is the result of natural forces, and no supernatural being (God) or activity (miracles) played a role in this. Based on this primary assumption, a worldview emerges: the universe and humankind came into being through natural phenomena, and there is really no alternate way they could have developed.

Incompatible with this worldview is the concept of a Creator, of humanity as the crown of creation, or of the truths of law and gospel. There is no sin, no objective right or wrong, and no Savior or salvation from the guilt of sin. There is no justification or sanctification as gifts from God, only variable opinions on what is good and bad and why humans do such things. Applications of the theory of natural selection to social, political, and economic issues (Social Darwinism) logically stem from such a worldview.

The biblical worldview

A biblical and Christian worldview assumes that the Bible is God’s inspired and authoritative revelation of truth. What the Bible says about the origin and nature of the universe and humankind is true, reliable, and sufficient. God created the heavens and earth out of nothing in six days, and humanity is the crowning achievement of the Creator. God’s revelation also asserts concepts such as the sinfulness of humanity, redemption and salvation through Jesus Christ, and spiritual and eternal life by divine grace through faith in Christ.

This God-centered and Bible-focused worldview does not require empirical evidence to substantiate the creation account. God is the only eyewitness and gives the trustworthy account sufficient for us. Our worldview places full trust in the omnipotent Creator and what he tells us about his creating, as well as redeeming and sanctifying, work.
