7th Grade Bible Lesson 9 Review

Mark all the reasons naturalists don't believe in God.

• God doesn't exist.

• they can't prove his existence through scientific experiments.

• they can't prove his existence by their senses.

• they can't prove his existence using the Human Manifesto.

Mark all the reasons why naturalists believe that the matter that produced the universe is eternal.

• since they believe there is no God, he couldn't have created the matter that produced the universe. It must have just always existed.

• they can scientifically prove that it has always existed.

• matter couldn't create itself out of nothing, so it must have always existed.

• it's a perfectly logical conclusion.

Mark all the ways naturalists use to explain the origin of life.

• creation

• an accident

• evolution

• abiogenesis & spontaneous generation

Mark the things that most naturalists (those who believe in the Behaviorist Model) believe.

• thoughts and emotions are only the result of chemical and electrical processes in the brain.

• we have a spirit that guides our thoughts and emotions.

• our actions are controlled by instincts.

• we can't help but act in certain ways because we inherit certain behaviors from our parents.

Mark the things that some naturalists (those who believe in the Egocentric Model) believe.

• we do have a spirit or soul that is part of our nature.

• we have a nonphysical part (but not an eternal soul/spirit) that allows us to think, feel, and make choices.

• people are not like robots or machines that can't think for themselves.

• life does not end in death.
