Make sure you review and understand the assignment instructions and the grading rubricbefore you attempt to complete any part of this template.Do not change any aspect of this template; and do not delete anything from it. Instead, type your content in the spaces provided. Before typing your content, you should review the entire template to be sure you understand what is required.

The purpose of this template is to provide you with a few major building blocks that can be incorporated into your final paper. In the sections provided below, you will insert your approved thesis statement, you will begin building the foundation for what will become the first two major sections in the body of your final paper, and you will footnote after each bullet point and reference in the bibliography sources used in your bullet point formulations (at least two from the opposing worldview).

1. Approved Thesis Statement

Insert the approved thesis statement from the course’s first module in this section

The remainder of this form will help you begin working on what will become the first two major sections of your final paper – the analysis and the critique of the worldview you are writing about.

The basic outline for your final paper should follow this structure:

1. Introduction
2. Analysis of Aspects of the Opposing Worldview

• Critique of Aspects of the Opposing Worldview

1. Defense of Christianity
2. Conclusion

In what follows, you will be crafting the building blocks that will eventually become sections II and III in the outline.

1. Analysis of Aspects of the Opposing Worldview

This section will form the building blocks of what will become the first major section in the body of your final paper (section II in the outline above): Summarize the worldview by using aspects of its presuppositions and beliefs using one sentence per bullet point (revision and/or expansion of these bullet points is required in the next stage of the project). The number of bullet points needed will be determined by thesis and the quality of your research but at least two are required.

• Bullet point 1:
• Bullet point 2:
• Bullet point 3:
• Etc.

1. Critique ofAspects of the Opposing Worldview

This section is focused on helping you build what will become the second major section of the body of your final paper (section III in the outline above): Evaluate aspects of your selected worldview in order to show where it fails to provide a rational, livable, comprehensive system.

• Bullet point 1:
• Bullet point 2:
• Bullet point 3:
• Etc.

1. Turabian bibliography (must be located on its own separate page; see below):
