Answer 1

The video talks about the importance of the interconnectivity of family, church and the government. It strongly believe that god created the world and all it holds both living and non-living. Society offers many options but the individuals have the option for choosing right and wrong. It holds that individuals and society are accountable for all their choices and action to God. God created man as his image and the head of the family, women to assist him and create children and represent the Holy Trinity. All the three institution, the family, church and government function without interfering with each other but with their own checks and balances. Christian view suggests that God created this world, god revealed his plans to man, god created man in his own image etc. thus emphasising on the importance of staying faithful and responsible to God.

I think Christianity has always believed that God created this world and do not accept the scientific view. It has come a long way to finally accept that people are individuals and they have the opportunity to choose their own actions but also insists that they have their consequences. Only when the church distanced itself from the politics and society, the world started progressing.
