I believe that God created the universe. God created the heavens and the earth in six days and rested on the sixth (Gen 1-3). The universe/earth was created for the fulfillment of God’s plans, for the opportunity for humanity to choose God, to further His kingdom, and to worship Him (Matt 28:18-20).

# data[].attributes.body
I believe in a God who is not created but is. He is the “I am”. This also means that I believe in a monotheistic God who is also a triune God consisting of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each are fully God, each a different entity, all one God. God is Good and Almighty, the ultimate TRUTH. Evil exists because God allows free will so that we can love Him.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe in the mind, body, and soul. Each function is different, but they work together to form the whole. I believe the body is an earthly temple created for God’s use. The mind may relate to spirit or personality, and I believe that is something we will take with us in Heaven. Our soul is something eternal that only humans have since we are different from animals and created in God’s image. People were made perfect in the garden and the fall has allowed sin to make us imperfect. We are sinful people with the ability to choose God through free will. In life, I believe we should look at each person and assume the best (Rick smith).

# data[].attributes.body
If reality was founded only in the physical world, I would say there is no reason for a spirit or otherwise. I believe God made every part of creation to be exact and meaningful. Everything works together for good. Material is real and our bodies are real, but it doesn’t carry over into heaven. However, it heavily influences our experiences, and we are made in his image. The spiritual world is just as important, maybe more so.

TRUTH = God’s ultimate reality. Absolute.
Truth = Known by Christians through God’s word/Revelation. Objective faith but the Bible is Absolute.
truth = Known by humanity. Objective.

# data[].attributes.body
We get sources of knowledge from experience, using our senses, using logic, through authorities, revelation, and intuition. These all combine to confirm my belief (George Knight).

# data[].attributes.body
I rely heavily on the correspondence theory. My beliefs' validity is true to me because of my belief in the Bible as the inspired word of God that is infallible. I also rely on reasoning and logic to match my faith to current knowledge and experience. There are many authority figures in my life that influence my direction.

# data[].attributes.body
"What should I do”
God, the flesh, and sin all pull my values in different directions. God guides me with truth, but I fall into sin and temptation. There is a right and wrong, but there is a grey area that is difficult to define.

# data[].attributes.body
“What is of value”
I think this follows partially with my belief in truth. I think everything God created is beautiful and of value. However, some things may not be my taste because of my personality. We each appreciate different things and see God in different ways. I think everything is innately beautiful regardless of us being here, but we may not find it tastefully beautiful because of personality. There is a grey area where sin comes in.
If a painting is worldly but a Christian can use it to bring glory to God, is it good? I guess that goes more into the question of “is something of value because it is good, if so, what is good?”

# data[].attributes.body
The universe is real because of the mind. It's origin is made by the mind and if there is no mind to perceive the universe, then it's not really there.

# data[].attributes.body
There is an absolute being or an absolute self.

Idealism and Theology have fit together from the start.

# data[].attributes.body
Our minds, thoughts, and beliefs are vital in making a person. Combining those people to make society. Our moral status is guided by the church, us being the absolute self, or the absolute being (God).

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, there is an apparent world which we perceive through our senses, but the world of reality is perceived through the mind.

# data[].attributes.body
Universal Truths exist.

Truth comes from your own thoughts.

# data[].attributes.body
Truth comes from your own mind. Knowledge is connected to what we know and experience. We can gain knowledge through books and other sources, but ultimately truth is what we perceive.

# data[].attributes.body
Truth may come from your own mind but it can be developed with the intake of other knowledge especially through the use of books. This means our knowledge can be backed up by other source of information and other authorities. Ultimately, it's decided by us.

# data[].attributes.body
Your values come from your own mind but can be guided by your experiences around you, especially from your faith and the Church.

# data[].attributes.body
Art and beauty is not found in photography so much as interpretations of the natural world. This can look like anything in terms of art. In "reality", ideas and thoughts are of more value than objects and forces.

# data[].attributes.body
Reality through matter in motion. The universe was created by the laws of nature. Ultimate reality was not from the mind, but from what our senses can determine. The universe and matter is independent from the mind.

# data[].attributes.body
If there is a God/gods, the divine creator would be in control of the natural law. God would be known and perceived through the senses, but is still present regardless of existence. (God is still present if no one can sense Him - just as if a tree was to fall in a forest, it would still fall regardless of anyone able to hear it). If there is no God, then the universe follows it's own natural law, independent from the mind.

# data[].attributes.body
The body and mind are independent of each other. Everything is reality because of our perception by using our natural senses. We study and observe matter to construct what is real. This could be applies to the study of humans and society - we observe.

# data[].attributes.body
Ultimate reality is not in the realm of the mind. Objects of our senses are in their own right, independent of mental consciousness.

# data[].attributes.body
Truth comes from your senses which construct the real world.

# data[].attributes.body
We study and observe matter to construct reality. It's observed through our senses.

# data[].attributes.body
Truth can be proven valid through investigation or observation and if our conclusions are consistent with other judgments. We trust our senses to construct the world.

# data[].attributes.body
Value comes from our experiences, our senses, and the natural law.

# data[].attributes.body
Matter is independent above the mind. Matter and the physical world are of value. If Kaleb was a table, he would still be of value.

# data[].attributes.body
The world was either made by any number of reasons, depending if you value reason or faith. The universe could be god, or it was created by the big bang, or God created it in 6 days. Anything works if it passes your rational processes or your belief system.

# data[].attributes.body
Faith and then reason.

Without theology you rely on reason and then faith.

# data[].attributes.body
There is a body, mind, and soul. The relationship is focused on the soul and probably the mind since this value comes from rationale.

# data[].attributes.body
There is a focus on reason and faith. The nature of existence is a balance between the body, mind, and soul (representing spiritual energy). There is matter and there is God. If no God, then there is matter and reason.

# data[].attributes.body
Truth is rationalism and inspiration.

# data[].attributes.body
Acquire knowledge through reason and rely on faith for the things beyond human understanding.

# data[].attributes.body
Through rational processes.

Values come from rationale.

Rationale = Good.

Our experiences in life determines our understanding of the universe. That understanding could define it's origin.

# data[].attributes.body
Universal reason can define our beliefs. If a lot of people believe in the same God and it benefits the greatest number of people in society.

# data[].attributes.body
We are the product of our DNA

# data[].attributes.body
Reason guides justice instead of God. Basic reality is found in epistemology, what works for the most people. That will determine what state our reality is founded on.

# data[].attributes.body
Truth is defined by interacting and gaining experience. It is what works for the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Truth as what works.

# data[].attributes.body
Fills the void of relative reality with what is true for the greater good of society.

It comes from an analysis on society.

It is valid if it works for society.

# data[].attributes.body
Based upon universal reason. How society changes is how value changes. There are no absolute principles.

# data[].attributes.body
Value is determined by society. Relative.

# data[].attributes.body
Reality is existence and each individual is discovering their purpose and the purpose of the Universe.

# data[].attributes.body
Value is from the individual. As long as you choose a theology you are correct.

Truth is defined by the individual who gives meaning and truth. It doesn't matter what you choose as long as you choose something. Truth of Choice.

# data[].attributes.body
From each individual. No single source.

Your choice is valid because you chose. No absolute validity.

# data[].attributes.body
What is of value are your choices. You take responsibility for your choices. Value is from the individual.

Students are image bearers of God and are born into a fallen world. Assume the best since people are born with the intuition to learn and we have the chance to show the love that Christ showed us.

# data[].attributes.body
To facilitate learning in a manner that is glorifying to God. I want to be a leader in the classroom and provide students with the information they need, while helping them thrive in a collaborative environment so students can create their own understanding. My goal is to guide.

# data[].attributes.body
Students learn through doing. Students need to be active, use both sides of their brain, and learn using different intelligences. Students also construct their own understanding when guided through the learning process.

Education is a process of behavioral engineering. Discover the laws of behavior and refine the techniques of teaching through experimentation with animals.

# data[].attributes.body
Humans are animals which are subject to the natural law.

# data[].attributes.body
The teacher's role is to create an effective learning environment.

# data[].attributes.body
Human beings learn the same way that animals do. Experiment with animals and learn how to teach strategies.

# data[].attributes.body
The values in content are based on efficiency, economy, precision, and objectivity.

# data[].attributes.body
Essentialism falls into this category as well.

Behaviorism - Education is behavioral engineering.

# data[].attributes.body
Return to the absolutes. The purpose of education is to improve man as man. The educational experience is a preparation for life, rather than a real life situation.

# data[].attributes.body
People are rational animals. Students are subject to content since the subject matter should stand at the center of the educational endeavor.

# data[].attributes.body
The role of the teacher is to find knowledge and teach it. Content is King, not the teacher. Our goal is to guide students to that information.

# data[].attributes.body
Human nature is universally consistent, therefore, education should be the same for everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
Knowledge is universally consistent; therefore, there are certain basic subject matters that should be taught to all people. Education should teach knowledge and not embrace opinions.

The great works of the past are a repository of knowledge and wisdom which has stood the test of time and is relevant in our day.

# data[].attributes.body
Perennialism - The content is king and absolutes don't change.
