Will try later.

It's an interesting question: can worldviews really be "in conflict," and can that settle the matter? Once "worldviews are in conflict," no agreement can be reached and no facts or realities can be considered. It only matters if some statement is in accord with your worldview, or not. Values lock, as Bob puts it.

My worldview has shifted greatly at least a couple of times in my lifetime. I gained new experience and new realizations, which prompted me to shift and change my worldview. I am unlikely to shift back into my old ones, but new shifts are possible. I think one needs to be open to new discoveries, experiences, thoughts and evidence, and shift worldview accordingly; not be locked.
