Suppose we were to express our generation's secular worldview as a 'creed,' how would it read?
The Nicene Creed (c. 325 A.D.) is the foundational statement of faith for most Christian churches. To the casual reader, some if its propositions must appear arcane and, well, frankly, 'unbelievable.' 4th century Christians, however, had a very different worldview than we do. Suppose we were to express our generation's secular worldview as a 'creed,' how would it read (see below)? Would our 21st century secular consensus be any more understandable to 4th century Christisns than the Nicene Creed is to many readers today?
