The fact remains, every one of those scientists in every one of those archaeological digs bases their interpretations on
what they already believe about the history of man. In our examples, those beliefs have been rooted in the evolutionary presuppositions of an old earth. That is their WORLDVIEW...the set of beliefs that are held, and through which they interpret everything in the world around them.
What is a WORLDVIEW?
By definition, a worldview is a conceptual framework or system of thought through which everything is given meaning and context. A worldview frames and organizes everything we experience. It is the basic assumptions, values, and allegiances by which we interpret the world around us.
Assumptions...the things presumed to be true, no proof necessary or possible, cannot be disproved.
Values...qualities or traits we cherish or esteem by which we assess the worth, goodness, or importance of things and persons.
Allegiances...loyalty or faithfulness to an individual, group, or cause.
