1 / 1 pts
A worldview is akin to a fad or fashion, or fleeting cultural sentiment, as opposed to a philosophy
of life.
1/15
12/14/23, 10:10 PM Extra Credit GEN ED Assessment Test: BIBL 104: Survey of Old and New Testament (D50)
A worldview only represents a view of the world that excludes or dispenses with the supernatural
or spiritual.
A worldview is a philosophy of life which attempts to address and answer the grand questions of
life to direct man in organizing his relationships, or in the manner he should live and construct all
of life.
A worldview is the same as a presupposition; something assumed to be true beforehand as a
basis of argument or discussion.
Question 2 1 / 1 pts
Social upheavals and protests are indicative, at the very least, of which biblical truth listed
below:
Men are evil and most human institutions are currently run by men.
While the Bible seems to call us to reject radicalism and instead to live "quiet and peaceable
lives," it also commands us to be aware of how individuals may be exploited due to the sinfulness
of the human heart.
Scripture requires a comprehensive altering of all the structures of society in order to achieve true
justice and peace. These unjust structures are the root cause of evil.
Racism and chauvinism are the key means and conduits of evil as described by Scripture.
Question 3 1 / 1 pts
What would Scripture say about cultural relativism, i.e., all cultures have their own truths
relevant to them which cannot be judged by another culture?
2/15
12/14/23, 10:10 PM Extra Credit GEN ED Assessment Test: BIBL 104: Survey of Old and New Testament (D50)
Because we are to love one another, we are to respect cultural differences, even if we disagree
with some cultural norms and values.
The Bible affirms that to critique the norms and values of another culture is the sin of racism.
Scripture rejects cultural relativism because biblical truth transcends any and all cultural norms.
Where cultural norms and values disagree with Scripture, we are always to use physical force and
might if need be to conquer those cultures.
Question 4 1 / 1 pts
As a communicator, a global witness must consider which two cultures (other than their own)?
His/her parent's culture and scripture
The host culture and his/her parent's culture
The culture of scripture and the host culture
Neighboring countries' culture and host culture
Question 5 1 / 1 pts
Which of the following is the best explanation for how sin affects civic and global structures,
such as government and marriage?
Sin helps civic and global structures to function in a worldly system.
Sin takes good civic and global structures designed by God and corrupts them, turning them
against God.
3/15
12/14/23, 10:10 PM Extra Credit GEN ED Assessment Test: BIBL 104: Survey of Old and New Testament (D50)
Sin makes all civic and global structures intrinsically bad and should be avoided completely.
Sin is personal and therefore does not affect civic and global structures.
Question 6 1 / 1 pts
Phyllis is seeking to better understand the idea of the business cycle and how to apply those
principles to her own business. What resource below would best suit her needs?
Alcouffe, A., Poettinger, M., & Schefold, B. (2017). Business cycles and economic thought: a
history, London: Routledge.
ABSTRACT: This book argues that studying crises and periods of growth in different European
countries will help to understand how different national, political and cultural traditions influenced
the complex interaction of economic cycles and economic theorizing. The editors of this great
volume bring together expert contributors consisting of economists, historians of economic
thought and historians of economics, to analyse crises and theories of the nineteenth and the
twentieth century. This is alongside a comprehensive outlook on the most relevant advances of
economic theory in France, Germany and Italy, as well as coverage of non European countries,
such as the United States.

Reconstruction. Journal of Economic Issues, 21(2), 713-722. doi:
10.1080/00213624.1987.11504663
ABSTRACT: The theoretical foundations of the current political business cycle literature
are examined. The present literature is flawed on conceptual grounds by virtue of its
neoclassical framework of analysis. The orthodox approach hypothesizes that self-interested
politicians will manipulate the economy by engaging in contractionary policies in the early years of
the presidential term and in expansionary policies before the election.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a theoretical framework for understanding the investment
decisions and financing decisions of financial and non-financial enterprises over the business
cycle. At the core of this theoretical framework is an agency problem between relatively more risk
averse depositor/bondholders and relatively less risk averse stockholders. The solution to this
agency problem is a corporate governance system that takes the form of an up-front contract that
directs managers to make portfolio/investment decisions in the interest of their stockholders, and
financing decisions in the interest of their depositor/bondholders.

performance. Journal of Strategy and Management, 3(1 ), 50-71. doi:
10.1108/17554251011019413
ABSTRACT: Business cycles strongly influence corporate sales and profits, yet strategy research
largely ignores the possibility that corporate management practices related to the business cycle
influence profitability. This paper aims to offer initial empirical support for the view that high
peformance firms use a variety of business cycle management (BCM) practices that low
performance firms do not.

Question 14 1 / 1 pts
You are in a debate about the creation of man, and you need to be able to identify and
address any fallacies throughout the debate. An "appeal to ignorance" is a fallacy in which a
person states that their belief is true because no evidence exists to contradict it. Which of the
following best exemplifies an "appeal to ignorance" fallacy that may be brought up in the
debate?
Since no one has proved that humans were created by God, it must not be true.
Because I believe that humans were created by God, it must be true.
Evidence does not exist to prove humans were created by God; therefore, man was not created
by God.
Everyone believes that humans were created by God, so it must be true.
Question 15 1 / 1 pts
Which of the positions below would best represent a biblical perspective on the environment
and environmental policy?
The Bible cares very little for environmental policy, since God will destroy the heavens and the
earth and replace them with a new heaven and earth.
Genesis 1 commands us to control and conquer nature; therefore, the State cannot limit human
activity in that regard.
8/15
12/14/23, 10:10 PM Extra Credit GEN ED Assessment Test: BIBL 104: Survey of Old and New Testament (D50)
The environment, and indeed the entire cosmos, is collectively "God;" therefore, we should care
for the environment.
Genesis 1 calls us to be good stewards of God's creation; therefore, we all must care for the
environment and the State has some obligation to protect society and individuals from
environmental damage.

From the lesson on the Fibonacci sequence, examples such as the ones below can model that God is
the Creator using order in all He made. By intelligent design, He created man in his own image (Genesis
1: 26a, "Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness") and even though man fell,
He had a redemptive plan (Genesis 3:15, "And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and
between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel"). The Fibonacci
sequence is one of the mathematical discoveries that man has found from God's creation. The shapes
of many things in nature follow the pattern of a Fibonacci sequence. The human ear, fist, and eye shown
below are just a few of them.
A Fibonacci-type sequence is a sequence in which the first two terms are arbitrary and in which every
term starting from the third is the sum of the two previous terms. Find the next 3 terms of the Fibonacci
sequence below.
