[Season 4, Episode 9]

A good way to undermine biblical authority and divine authorship is to demonstrate that the biblical writings seem to be mimicking earlier historical ideas and events. A well-known example is the historically revered Law of Moses. Because there are at least five ancient law codes that pre-date the traditional time of Moses, all bearing some similarities to the Mosaic Law, many people have claimed that the Law of Moses was copying earlier law codes.

Yet, Christians have historically believed that when God gave the Law to Moses on Mt. Sinai, something new and special was happening. For example, Moses (holding the Ten Commandments) is the central figure on the east pediment of the United States Supreme Court building. He is flanked by other ancient law givers.

Was the Mosaic Law borrowing from the law codes of other ancient peoples?

Dr. Aardsma never set out to research this topic specifically. However, the discovery of the missing millenium settles this question, as it does many, many others. Truth is like that; the ripple effects of enlightenment seem to never end.

Knowing when Moses actually lived (1,000 years earlier than traditionally thought) clearly demonstrates that when God gave Moses the Law on Mt. Sinai, something special and unique was indeed happening. Moses lived during the Exodus of 2450 BC. We have no record of ancient law codes that predate this time.

[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.
