This document provides an overview of a Christian worldview class. It discusses announcements, including an upcoming workshop on slide presentations. It defines first order points of Christian doctrine and shared central beliefs. It also defines the Trinity and metanarratives. The core of the Christian worldview metanarrative is outlined as having four acts: Creation, The Fall, Redemption, and Restoration. Finally, it discusses the nature of revelation, differentiating between general revelation through creation and special revelation including Scripture, Jesus, and God speaking directly to people.
This was a presentation we used along with \'How to choose your God\' in our Church youth Bible Study group. It presents a logical framework to understand the existence of God and how God reveals Himself thru creation, conscience, communication (over the ages) and ultimately thru Christ.
Does God exist, and how do we know? Workshop on tawhid at Camp UK, 2016. 4 classical proofs of God (Allah) found in Qur'an and hadith which are used across religious and philosophical traditions. Suggestions for discussion and personal reflection.

Many people assume that belief in God is based purely on blind faith. Best-selling books such as Richard Dawkins' “The God Delusion” and Christopher Hitchens' “God is Not Great” have aggressively argued that belief in God is irrational at best. From the academic standpoint, it appears that God may, indeed, be dead.
However, the declaration of God’s death may be premature. New scientific discoveries are reinvigorating classical arguments for the existence of God. In this talk, we will take a look at some of the most powerful contemporary arguments for a personal Creator.
These slides are just about getting a small clarity in believing the God. God:myth or reality.
you can use these in for power point presentation in your classes and it is also a unique topic where no one think to decide to take this topic.
the contents of this slides are

2.who is god?>
3.theists and atheists
4.god as a myth
5.god as reality
concludsion
Everyone has a set of beliefs and values that form a framework and set of “lenses” through which the data of life and the world around us is assessed. Our task is to determine what is true and to live in step with that truth.
The Christian Worldview is the one worldview that rings the truest with the known facts of science and life. This class will focus on the latest in this area and review summary “take-aways” that will help Christians defend the faith.
Lecture presented by John Weber
This public lecture was given by Dr. John Oakes at the University of Stockholm in Sweden 9/5/2010. It discusses atheist arguments against the existence of God, why atheism fails and logical arguments for theism.

Major Paper #1
Worth 10% of final grade. Will be graded on a 40 point scale
Due by the start of class, Friday, February 9. Submitted as a hard copy AND online.
You have now carefully read and discussed the following readings: William Portier, Ch. 1 “The Great Questions” and Ch. 3, “Religion” from Tradition and Incarnation; Steven Prothero, Introduction from God Is Not One; and the Vatican II document, Nostra Aetate. In this first written reflection, you are going to bring these various perspectives into dialogue.
This assignment must take the form of a paper. The length should be at least 2-3 pages but no longer than 5 pages. The paper must be typed, using Times Roman 12 pt font, double spaces, one inch margins. It should be submitted as a hard copy in class on the due date and be submitted to Turn-it-in via Isidore.
The paper must address the following questions/prompts and be clearly based on the material covered thus far in class. You may need more than one paragraph to answer each part adequately. Cite all sources accurately.
Before you write, think about how each source (William Portier, Stephen Prothero, and the Catholic Church) understands “religion” (the purposes, starting points, and definitions of religion, etc…)
The paper itself with address the following four questions:
First, what are some of the most important similarities between how each of our sources understand religion? (Its purposes, starting points, definition, etc…)
Second, what are some of the most significant differences between our sources’ understandings about religion?
Third, given these similarities and differences, describe two possible approaches one might take to the study of religion. For each approach, describe what one might learn about religion from that approach. The approaches may be taken directly from a reading as long as you cite your source and are able to say why that approach makes sense. You are encouraged to offer an approach that combines what is found in the readings.
Fourth, what questions does thinking about these various perspectives on religion and approaches to the study of religion raise that require further study.
Grading criteria
1. Use of Sources: Inclusion of all four readings, accurate accounts of the content of each reading, and the proper citation of your sources. This is not a research paper. You should not need any additional sources beyond what we have read in class.
2. Content: Responses to each of the questions/prompts that demonstrat ...

THEO 201 Quiz 2
THEO 201 Quiz 2 God’s General Revelation
A core passage of Scripture that reveals knowledge of God is available through the experience of God’s created order.
According to Erickson, special revelation was necessary because humans lost the relationship of favor they had with God prior to the fall.
Special revelation can be described as “remedial” with respect to?
General revelation builds evangelistic bridges from Christianity to other world religions. IBD – 26
Since the gospel and creation are coherent revelations of God, there is harmony between the two and reinforcement of each other.
The Bible teaches that man is given evidence of God’s existence outside of Bible.
The three modes that show man the general revelation of God:
God is incomprehensible to man, because man does not have any knowledge of God.
The observed order, design, and purpose in our world would be used as support for the following argument for the existence of God.
This worldview elevates creation to a god by claiming that the only reality that exists can be perceived by the 5 senses.
The _______________ argument for the existence of God shares that God is the primary or first cause to the universe ?
This Medieval theologian argued that faith and reason are mutually complementary.
Which apostle confronts philosophers and points them to the gospel using general revelation in the City of Athens?
Reason involves which of the following as it relates to the human and truth.
General revelation is the self-disclosure of God to all rational being.

According to Erickson, natural theology seeks to construct a valid theological framework through the study of nature, history, and human personality.
Discusses the meaning and importance of worldview in general as well as the Christian worldview specifically, and introduces how the Christian worldview can be applied to the joys and challenges of work
This sermon will demonstrate how the starting point of evangelism 40 years ago was the simple plan of salvation. Belief in God, Christ, Heaven and Hell were givens. Atheists were rare and showed little interest in meddling with the belief of Christians. However, our society is more secular and increasingly doubts or disputes the aforementioned givens. Thus, we have a new starting point in sharing our faith... a Pre-Evangelism that is needed before we can give a simple gospel presentation. This sermon will also look at the shift that has occurred between atheism and the "new atheism" which is more strident and can be called anti-theism.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

32. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because
God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his
eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived,
ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been
made.
(Rom 1:19–20 ESV)
34. When the nations, who do not have the Biblical law, by nature
do what the law requires, they create a law to themselves, even
though they do not have the Biblical law. They show that the
work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience
also bears witness, and their con
fl
icting thoughts accuse or even
excuse them on that day when, according to my gospel, God
judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.
