Aron Ra Still Doesn't Get Pistis (Faith)
(Originally posted on Aug 9, 2019)
Aron Ra uploaded a very dishonest video where he covered my debate with him, thus forcing me to respond and point out the lies. After having met him in person and finding out he was a friendly and nice guy I was shocked and disappointed by how dishonest he was in his video:

Biblical Archaeology: Eden
(Originally posted on May 13, 2019)
I reuploaded this video because I got the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in the opposite places. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Note* It is true the Hebrew word for headwaters mostly refers to the head of something, but the root word has so many meanings from head, chief, ends, divisions, companies, top, ridge, best, etc.
https://biblehub.com/hebrew/7218.htm
Needless to say, but the Hebrew is not necessarily referring to a place where one river splits to form 4 but can be referring to the reverse. The same can be seen with the word yatsa. It can mean to go out or came out: https://biblehub.com/hebrew/3318.htm

Cosmic Conscious Argument for God's Existence

Given that quantum mechanics reveals the mind plays an integrated role in the collapse of the wave function. Early thinkers like Eugine Wigner put forward an argument for God's existence from this piece of data. Building on his argument, I have helped to formalize this argument.

Many believe evolution was a contingent process. There were not guiding principles, just random genetic mutations that produced all the species we have today, but new research is challenging that view.

Matt Dillahunty vs. Science
(Originally posted on views May 22, 2018)
I recently debated Matt Dillahunty on if religion is beneficial to society:
This is my post-debate analysis where I go over some things, I didn't get a chance to get to and point out many of his errors. Matt demonstrated throughout the debate how much faith he has and how little he relies on evidence and scientific data.
Correction: I should have said "Denying the antecedent" not "affirming the consequent."

Materialism has been dead for decades and recent research only reconfirms this, as this video will show. This video was reviewed by physicist Fred Kuttner and Richard Conn Henry. A few other physicists reviewed this but asked to remain anonymous for privacy reasons.

This is a video presenting objections to Bohmian Mechanics. I argue from skeptics of this interpretation in physics, it is an ad hoc interpretation and doesn't compete with the standard and orthodox interpretation.

When Did Jesus Appear to the Women - Supposed Bible Contradiction #26
(Originally posted on Sep 24, 2021)
John says Jesus and the angels appeared to Mary after Peter and John left the tomb, but Matthew says Jesus and the angels appears to all the women before they even told the disciples of the empty tomb. Who is right or are both right?
