">Pluralism

This form of coexistence is referred to as pluralism, and it is a feature that is noticeable in culturally tolerant societies. Sustaining pluralism can be a challenge considering that religious or cultural differences may cause conflicts.
Scientism
The scientism uses scientific reasoning as the focal for examining the truth or reality. While using evidence to explain truth is important, this approach to looking at the truth may not work with morality (Mayes et al., 2018). This means that it can be difficult to explain the source of the moral values using this concept.

What is the meaning of human history?
Humans’ history has its origin in the story of creation. One’s knowledge of their history is important because it helps them learn past lessons, and this can inform the decisions they make.

The beliefs individuals have differ across cultures, and concepts such as postmodernism offer the perspectives for explaining the divergence in the cultural views on what constitutes the prime reality. However, the scientism presents assumptions that something can only be real or truth if there is scientific evidence that backs it up. Worldview, based on the Christian faith, provide the different perspectives not only on the nature of God but on the nature of the human being.
