Secular Humanism Compared/Contrased to Christianity

Part I
Almost 5 billion years ago, according to the secular humanistic approach, earth created
itself. There was no supernatural creator of the planets. This particular worldview's conception to
mankind is based merely on the facts, evidence to back the facts up, and information that gives
aid to what does actually exist in this world. People with this worldview resort any unanswered
questions back to science. Most secular humanists simply posses a more naturalistic approach
when it comes to all the creations living and breathing around us. The entire universe alone is
self-ruling, unmonitored, and a completely independent planet in absence of an occult authority.
i. The biblical worldview brings it's origins to an almighty creator, God. Everything is a
product created by Him alone. In 6 24-hour days He used His power to create everything
you see around you today. He reins over all the living people on earth. "God moves
mountains without anyone knowing it" (Job. 9:5, New International Version). "He alone
stretches out the skies" (Job. 9 :8, New International Version).
ii. Secular humanism makes it very clear and evident that Christianity and most Christian
followers are not perceiving things correctly in the way they do. People within this
worldview/perspective believe that there is absolutely no higher power, and that the
process of evolution explains where we are today. As for having a biblical worldview,
there is a creator and we can each become personal to Him threw keeping our faith and
words strong. Humanistic holder's consider it ignorance to even put time into something
that is so unsubstantiated and impossibly known to any of us. Putting faith into a
supernatural force/power is provided as a waste of time according to the secular
humanistic approaches.

Part II
Secular humanistic worldview holder's refer to all of our physical characteristics and
personal appearances of being advanced and evolved from past animals within millions of cells
and atoms changing throughout our lifetimes (Weider & Gutierrez, 2011). We are all constantly
changing throughout earth's time, and we will never get to know how evolved and different
people might really look and evolve to be hundreds of years from now.
i. All humans are saturated full of equal sins without God's son, Jesus Christ. Biblical or
Christian worldview holders condone to their God and allow all their faith and beliefs to
be put into Jesus Christ alone. " The true children of God are those who let God's spirit
lead them" (Rom. 8:14, New International Version). God created each of us individually
and offers each of us the gift of His eternal life onto His throne in heaven, just by keeping
Him personal to us and allowing His son, Jesus, to rid each of us from all evil living
within our personal perimeters and all the sins that are living all around us.
ii. Secular humanistic approaches result from only what's evident around us and within all
the living situations around us provided by scientific facts, studies, or experiments.
According to many humanists, since man is only a highly evolved animal, some human
life is not so special. Christian believers view every single one of God's people and
children as special, unique, and each holding differentiated vocational gifts and values
that God has provided to them in their life. God made everyone different like this on
purpose.
Part III

SECULAR HUMANISM COMPARED/CONTRASED TO CHRISTIANITY

There isn't a huge deep/spiritual meaning behind life within a secular humanistic view
holder. "All life is considered precious and humans are no more value than other aniamls"
(Weider & Gutierrez, 2011).
i. Throughout the Christian and biblical worldviews, the question of each of our personal
meanings and purposes are clearly revealed to us throughout God's gospel. All of God's
followers and believers must conform to Him and unify together all into one whole body
and family of Christ to fulfill God's purpose for each of our lives. Followers of this
approach must also learn to know and sense the hands of God's great and powerful grace.
In return, all things will bind together and work together for good in reconstructing a
helpless person's faith back into Christ. These believers will receive each of their
meaningful purposes and values in life that seem to be delivered from God and his
spiritual abilities/power alone.
ii. Secular humanism will always stand it's ground when coming to pursue a relationship
between God or any higher or super naturalistic authority. What these people can't see
will never be known or even brought to their attention sensationally by His spirit. From a
Christian or biblical standpoint, each of our differentiated meanings and purposes are
solely reflected upon and held within the hands and feet of God. Therefore secular
humanism will not be able to vocationally receive these meanings/purposes without their
power of faith being revealed to our Father in heaven (according to the Christian/biblical
viewpoint).
Part IV
Morality within secular humanism reflects upon obtaining naturalistic approaches to our
reality. Any supernatural/biblical laws written by a God are all void. Only the most current
period of reality within the different generations can guide and correct moral values within an

SECULAR HUMANISM COMPARED/CONTRASED TO CHRISTIANITY

individual, and provide how they should stand in life with accurate and healthy or even
unhealthy types of support during a person's years.
i. Christians reverse this opposition. Each of an individual's morality values are written
thoroughly within the texts of God's works and readings. Whether an individual reflects
and puts their faith to action into these morals/values practiced by God and his followers
is completely all within the palms of their hands for being a Christian follower and
believer in God.
ii. Morality values between Christians and secular humanists are merely based upon the
difference between following reality and its standards or following a holy book (the Bible
for most Christians) with its written standards asked for from God. Differences between
these two viewpoints/worldviews also lies within putting one's knowledge/facts to use
vulnerably to all of God's requests, and simply putting all one's faith into the nature living
around them. In meaning to this, one humanistic might tend or even occasionally refer
back to the nature living around them to observe, find, hypothesize, and even ask of all
nature's truths and creations. Only God can hold onto the true secrets of His beautiful
creations all living around and even within us.
Part V
One's destiny can be converted, opinionated, hypothesized, and viewed almost entirely
different amongst another person's personal viewpoint, and this depends upon the angle or
perception one views at these multiple different origination theories/facts and thoughts about
one's true final destiny in life. Naturalists, atheists, and multiple different types of humanistic
approaches on death all contribute to the destruction, elimination, demolishment of the one's soul
whom is dying. The majority of people who do hold these indifferent, uncharitable thoughts

SECULAR HUMANISM COMPARED/CONTRASED TO CHRISTIANITY

profoundly contribute to the feeling of having much more annihilationist viewpoints on death
and one's final destiny and where it might lay.
i. The Christian and biblical approaches to one's destiny revolves around our inner
willingness of accepting God's free gift of eternal life on His thrown in heaven. "Commit
your works and depend on the Lord in whatever you do, and your plans will succeed"
(Proverbs. 16:3, New International Version). Most Christians holding this type of strong
biblical/Christ-like structure or standpoint/perspective on one's destiny exclusively leaves
any of their concerns/unanswered questions merely in the most trusted and worthy hands
of God.
ii. Secular humanism resort to one's destiny being doomed to hell, or one's should being
completely demolished while enduring into the state of death. These humanist viewpoints
about one's destiny after their life is reversed compared to obtaining a biblical or a more
Christian viewpoint. Secular humanists eliminate any sort of expectation, anticipation,
and optimacy within themselves and their annihilation when life does come near to death,
Christian/biblical worldviews that are held by God's true believers have become insisted
and promised by the word of God to deliver full and eternal everlasting life within the
kingom and throne of our creator with the feeling of forever satisfaction, fulfillment,
gratification, and pleasure. Many opponents to the secular humanistic worldview finds
words within our gospel referring to each individual's passageway to their destiny. For an
example from scriptures, the male descendants of Solomon wrote the book of Proverbs to
convey to believers God's great and powerful wisdom for living sufficiently within being
put under such a sinful atmosphere around us. Chapter 22 in Proverbs begins explaining
to the Christian believers that any person amongst your family, siblings, and even spouses
who provoke unfaithful and foul remarks/gestures about our God will create a deep trap

SECULAR HUMANISM COMPARED/CONTRASED TO CHRISTIANITY

for you and any believer to get out of. The the descendants of Solomon continued to
write, "Those who make the Lord angry will get caught by them" (Proverbs. 22:14, New
International Version). Multiple scripture examples within the Christian gospel provide
examples that are very similar if not parallel to these ones written above. These particular
types of scriptures may frighten numerous unbelievers while being read. Secular
humanistic perspective holders may begin to grow a sense of fear knowing that the God
above all Christianity will be applying His divine judgments upon them when the day of
one's eternal judgement occurs by God. The unacceptable or unsatisfied judgments taken
by God will ultimately and tragically result in the individual being doomed to Hell for
their eternal life. Hell will be become the God-made destiny for all the unbelievers he
brought to His world.
