Worldview Questions

Everyone has a worldview, whether they hold it consciously or not. Many people have an incoherent worldview because they’ve never consciously thought through the key questions a worldview should answer. Those questions are:

1. The Question of Ontology: What is the nature of existence and being?
   1a. The Question of Origin: Where did the universe come from?
   1b. The Question of Life: How did life originate?
2. The Question of Transcendence: Is there a supernatural realm?
3. The Question of Theology: What is the nature and character of God?
4. The Question of Ethics: What is right and what is wrong?
   4a. The Question of Evil: Why is there evil in the world?
5. The Question of Teleology: What is the meaning and purpose of life?
6. The Question of Epistemology: What forms of knowledge are reliable?
   6a. The Question of Reason: Is the universe rational?
7. The Question of Religion: What is the origin of competing religious myths?

Any worldview worthy of attention should be able to propose answers to all of these questions.
