A Christian Worldview: After several attempts to write my version of the Christian Worldview, I ran across almost exactly what I was trying to express, but in far better form.

The glaring problem with that version of a Christian "world view" is that it champions creationism and rejects evolution. Because of that, it is NOT a Christian world view, but a fundamentalist Protestant world view.

It is by definition a Christian Worldview; you are totally hung up on the evolution controversy, which theory is in extreme doubt today because of many studies that show both macroevolution and microevolution are not the correct story. The main key to these studies is the question of where the information comes from to create either body plans or cells, and where the precursor forms exist, especially in the Cambrian era. The sources of information can't be shown in the case of evolution theory.

Why you think evolution is necessary to a Christian worldview escapes me: God didn't decree evolution as being necessary to become a follower of Christ. Quite to the contrary, He was the Creator, the Designer.

You say evolution is "in extreme doubt" today? Except for some fundamentalist sects, that is glaringly untrue.
We can see "evolution" in action today in the way micro-organisms are becoming immune to our antibiotics. All life forms constantly strive to survive and improve themselves. That's just nature. It will be interesting when humans eventually contact extraterrestrial civilizations.

Adaptation is real, evolution is a fairly recent theory, which has been proven false or faked many times.

Evolution has never been proven false.

It's never been proven at all, it's a theory.

A theory in the same way Earth's atmosphere is oxygen/nitrogen.

No there isn't... oxygen/nitrogen are facts, they exist and you can test and prove them every time you test them. Evolution is a theory. Get a good dictionary and look up "theory/fact/proof". Something is only a proven "fact" if you can test it... and the test results are provable every time, no matter where in the world you do the test. Even the quantum scientist have to revise their theories every few months. You need to do some checking on debunked evolutionary fossils that were really good until proven false. Yet for some reason they won't update the text books or stop teaching them as true. When you strip away all the BS, evolution is just a reason to deny God exist.

Of course there were fake fossils; you can still find fake trilobites in cheap junk shops. What does that have to do with anything?
I assume you're one of those "young earthers", or do you accept that the planet is 4.5 billion years old?

I believe that the earth is approximately 6000 years old starting from the creation as explained in the bible. I also believe in the world flood and everything written in the bible.

I'd like to hear your take on what happened to the dinosaurs. Did they miss Noah's boat 4000 years ago?
