So, here's a question: is it possible to have a worldview that conflicts with one's values? If I had said "stated values" then I would say the answer is simply "yes".

The thought that set me off was that I tend to look for evolutionary explanation for behaviour in animals and humans (or should that be humans and other animals?) despite the fact that I don't believe in evolution. I'm not sure that believing or not in evolution is a value as such, but it was an interesting idea. I think evolutionary explanation for behaviour is something that is engrained is us by the education system and the media and could, therefore, be considered part of our worldview.

Can we see the world in a way that is contrary to what we believe?
