A collision of worldviews
According to the Barna Research Group, a person’s worldview—their moral foundation, ideas about God, and resulting priorities and habits—is formed between 15 months and 13 years old. Although people adopt a mix of different worldviews, we do have a primary one that we evangelize throughout our lives. Today, in our post-modern culture, Christians are battling both the formation and evangelization of multiple worldviews that are on a direct collision course with the biblical one.
“Why does worldview matter? Because it is the ground on which all ethics, morality, cultural norms, and by inference, all political strategies and policies stand.”
Dan Becker, President Emeritus, Personhood Alliance

Eugenicists believe that humans are merely animals—not exceptional, not of intrinsic value. So human reproduction, particularly of “unfit” populations, must be controlled in an effort to self-direct our own evolution. Click on a link below to learn more.
