[Season 4, Episode 8]

For over three and a half years, we've been instructing you about biblical historicity and chronology, from many angles. Today we want to show you just how effective all this knowledge is in the "real world."

The YouTube channel "Holy Koolaid" gleefully wreaks havoc with problematic issues facing Old Testament historicity. It was created by Thomas Westbrook (missionary kid turned evangelistic scoffer) whose channel boasts 391K subscribers. His popular series "Nothing Fails Like Bible History" sets out to skillfully and swiftly debunk the faith of as many Christians as possible.

On this episode, we set out to correct the claims put forth by Thomas Westbrook, demonstrating how quickly his house of cards tumbles once a few basic corrections are made and a few key things are properly understood. What a marvelous application of the data-rich apologetic that we present. It works: real science, real Bible, real history, real world.

We address several of Westbrook's videos from his series "Nothing Fails Like Bible History."

Travel along with us and put your own knowledge to use as we think through how to answer some of the accusations of Holy Koolaid against the Bible and Bible-believers.

The truth is, in the end, nothing SUCCEEDS like Bible history.

[Season 4, Episode 7]

For new ideas to move forward, a society must have free speech. In addition, societies today have systems for new ideas (scientific research) to be presented and evaluated. But what happens when those well-established systems become corrupted—when they actually stand in the way of truth and advancement? This is now happening in our country's academic institutions, and many are completely unaware.

"Publish or perish" and peer review have become roadblocks to truth and progress. Some scientists have seen their lives and reputations destroyed through the corrupted system. Others learn to jump through the hoops and work the system to accomplish their personal career goals.

Yet others decide to leave the mainstream altogether in order to avoid a career spent trying to satisfy the system. Being outside the mainstream (and therefore self-published) has its own set of problems, but it does allow meaningful research to take place and the unadulterated, undiluted results to be published, albeit to a limited audience. And that is exactly where we find ourselves here at The Biblical Chronologist.

Listen in to learn about the major "establishment" problems facing scientists today, how the winds of change are beginning to blow, and why The Biblical Chronologist has a 31-year-history of doing research and publication independently.

Last year, Hugh Ross (Reasons to Believe) replied to a comment we left on X (formerly Twitter). Our comment asked if he had seen some aspects of Dr. Aardsma's work. Ross replied, "I have just completed a book on Noah's Flood and have responded to Aardsma's claims."

The book Ross referenced became available in October. This month we critique Noah's Flood Revisited (new depths of insight from science and Scripture).

We discuss several aspects of this new book by an old-earth creationist, pointing out where it falls critically short—false fronts, fuzzy facts, failing to follow through, and an ultimate fatal flaw. This is important because, as Christians, we must be actively advancing the cause of truth, not just giving some reasons to hold to our faith. We must stop treading water in Christian apologetics, and begin to take ground with data, scientific investigation, research results, and specific dates that show these events in real-world history.
