Reading What Are the Major Worldviews? relates how we all piece together some ideas like John Godfrey Saxe poem “The Blind Men And The Elephant.” - Each one of the blind men was partially right in what he experienced but ultimately wrong in his conclusion. Together they confused their limited viewpoint with the whole of reality.
The article concludes with how some believe in the scientific method as the ultimate guide to truth while using transcendental meditation (a pantheistic practice) to relieve stress. Others think like existentialists, believing that all objective values are meaningless while joining a social activist organization to fight for social justice.
1 Cor 13:9-12 puts it this way regarding the mystery of God's Love for people, "...Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless.
When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely."
I'm so glad for https://alphausa.org/ that helps people ask some of life’s most heartfelt questions:
What is real?
Who am I?
Where did I come from?
Why am I here?
What is the basis for my values?
What does the future hold?
