We are aware that a dominant worldview today is based on the assumptions of uniformitarian naturalism, a totally materialistic mindset. This is held by the vast majority of scientists and, to a lesser extent, laypeople (many of whom are syncretistic and accept theistic evolution).

But a materialist worldview is connected to and mandated by total immersion in evolution (cosmic, geological, biochemical, and biological). This series of evolutionary principles precludes a young universe and young earth, as clearly taught in Scripture, especially Genesis 1–2 (as well as chapters 3–11). With many pastors and seminary leaders already committed to an evolutionary, old earth worldview, what must be done to promote a biblical worldview in Christian colleges and churches?
