Brief Questionnaire to Assess Compatibility
With Worldview Themes #8A & 8B

Respond to each of the following below on a 1 to 5 scale, where
     1= strongly disagree      2 = disagree      3 = neutral      4 = agree      5 = strongly agree
If you don’t have understand, or are confused by a particular question, select 3= neutral.

Note: An * in front of the question indicates that this has been used in national public opinion surveys. 

1. The wonderfully complex structures seen in living things on Earth, and the beauty seen throughout the universe, purposely resulted from the efforts of God, that is a conscious, intelligent Creator.   

2. Starting with non-living molecular structures, scientists will never be able to create life in a test tube because they will be unable to give their creation the necessary “vital spark”, only God can do that!

3. I often pray to God and read my religion’s sacred text.  I often find inspiration in its stories, verse, and wisdom.

*4. God has a very important place in my life.

*5. There is a God who concerns Himself with every human being personally.

*6. I believe in a God who watches over me.

*7. At least at sometime every day I feel God's presence.

*8. Prayers are usually answered.

*9. I typically pray on a daily basis.

*10. I guess that you’d call me either a not very religious person or a convinced atheist since I don’t believe that there is a personal God, or that God is to be associated with a universal spirit or life force.

*11. Consider two conceptions of God: 1) God is highly involved and active both in one's personal affairs and in worldly affairs, 2) God is not active or involved in personal affairs or worldly affairs, although God may observe them. My own conception of God is closer to the first statement.
