Such a worldview must provide a robust apologetic that withstands the most rigorous critiques from philosophy, theology, astrophysical science, and other academic disciplines. Regardless of whether one's worldview is rooted in Judeo-Christian, Islamic, or pantheistic traditions, the claims made in response to these questions must correspond to objective reality and exhibit logical coherence.
