We have never observed or experienced anything objectively. We have always had some sort of outside influence or preconception. If nothing else, we had the impulses of our emotions that drove us and kept us from seeing reality as it really is. And we have always added unreality to our worldviews. That unreality came from our imaginations and became the fake inner reality each of us calls “our worldview.” As insane as it may be, some even call it their “own reality.

Without Christ, the human mind resorts to made-up stuff for reason.

Every argument against the Bible is based on made-up stuff.

Reasoning built on lies isn’t sound.

At the end of all the filtering, we take the distorted perception of reality and add it to our worldviews. Since the worldview created most of the filter in the first place, most of what goes back into the worldview is confirmation bias.

Truth is only available through Jesus Christ. Even though assumptions don’t come out of whole cloth, they still consist of made-up stuff.

Worldviews seem real but they aren’t real. Our worldviews tend to guide our thinking about everything. And then our assumptions come out of those worldviews.

When one person’s worldview differs from the worldview of another person, everything is fine until the two people realize that they aren’t seeing eye to eye. Each thinker will regard anything that clashes with his or her worldview to be insane and in conflict with reality.

We filter what we observe and tend to explain away or ignore anything that doesn’t conform with what’s already in our worldviews. We interpret what we observe based on the assumptions and presuppositions that come out of our worldviews. If an observation or experience conflicts with our worldviews, we think it’s insane, unreal, or evil.
