It’s very interesting to learn about the different perspectives on agreeing and disagreeing with the origin of the universe. Atheists believe in acknowledging their scientific perspective over logical and supportive religious facts. I’ve always acknowledged how my religion with traditional values differs me from most other people including their religions. What atheists and Christians have in common is their moral judgment of character and being open-minded with certain beliefs. The differences in beliefs can change the way a person thinks about things in life. If someone believes that the origin of the universe is scientifically related, they’re more than likely going to think more logically and use scientific evidence to prove their perspective. A person who believes that the universe is made by the words of God can think differently about things based off the Bible.

Both atheist and Christians believe the universe was created almost in a flash. Christians with God saying let there be light and atheist through the big bang. the difference in believes on how the universe is created has a big impact on how people live their lives, because God created the universe praise God through love and kindness to others as way to thank him for what he has given us. Atheists live with the belief that kindness is an option and because we were created through evolution our actions have no real consequences when we die.

Atheists and Christians both agree that the universe was created by something, but they differ on how it was created. Atheists believe the universe was created by the Big Bang and over time matter and energy formed the universe. Christians believe that God created the universe and everything associated with it. Christians live their life based on fulfilling God’s way of life and what they feel would serve him by their actions. Atheists live life to fulfill their own needs and wants instead of doing things to serve someone else.

Something both atheist and Christians both believe is that the universe had a beginning however, what they believe this beginning is and what comes after we die is different. Atheist tend to go by a scientific approach as they don’t believe in god or divine intervention meanwhile, Christians believe god is the creator of heaven and earth. I believe this impacts how a person lives their life as it plants a foundation of their beliefs and morals as well as the motivation they may have throughout their life. This is true as Christians follow the bible and turn to their religion and to god to guide them throughout their lives in contrary to atheist who tend to follow social expectations and set their own sets of beliefs and morals based on how they are raised or what they learn or encounter. Due to this it is often known that people find faith in times of hardship as it gives a sense of belonging and community in what is a big world.

Hello Class,
Atheism and Christianity both agree the universe exists but they disagree with how it was created. Atheism is the disbelief in a God or Gods, therefore they believe the universe was created naturally and can be explained with scientific reasoning. On the other hand, the Christian worldview includes the belief in God. Christianity believes in a divine creator, God, who created the universe and all life within. These differing views profoundly shape individuals’ lives. Christian beliefs provide a moral framework, purpose, and a sense of divine connection, influencing a worshipful and ethical lifestyle. Atheistic perspectives, grounded in science, may lead to a focus on reason, human agency, and responsibility toward the natural world, impacting personal choices and values.

Hey Class,
One characterization I would use to describe God is all-powerful. Christians believe God is capable of creating and sustaining the universe. Another characteristic of God is all-knowing. It is generally believed that the Christian God knows the past, present, and future of the universe and he uses this knowledge to guide humanity. Lastly, I would describe God as all-loving. God is believed to love all of his “children” and is capable of eternal forgiveness. These characteristics of God are important to the Christian worldview because these are the reasons Christians can put their faith and trust into God’s plan and come to rely on him.

In Christianity, God is believed to be the eternal, supreme being who created and preserves all things. The three characteristics of God are: 1) All-knowing God- A God who has the power to know all. 2) All-powerful God- A God with unlimited powers.
3) Perfect God- A God without flows or deficiencies and contains all perfections. The characteristics of God are there to help us define how God is different from us and creation.

Christians believe that God is all powerful, he is able to do everything. Along with God being omnipotent he is also forgiving and knows all that you do. Without the characteristics mentioned here, the Christian worldview could not be what it is. If God was not all forgiving he would not be able to forgive humans sins as Christians believe. God needs to be all powerful or Christians could not believe that he created all that there is. Also, people may not have a reason to act as God sees fit if he was not all seeing.
