The Science of Music
Why are there only seven notes in a major or minor scale? Excluding sharps and flats, the notes are A,B,C,D,E,F,G, and then they repeat at a higher octave. But why no H,I, or J? If we include flats and sharps, then there are twelve notes. Seven and twelve are both very significant in Scripture. Could there be a connection?

How Did We Get the Bible? Part 1
If the modern Bible is based on a copy of a copy of a copy, how do we know if it is reliable? Do the most ancient copies of Scripture resemble modern copies? Have there been any changes in the text since it was penned by the authors? And how do we know?

Discerning Truth: Biblical Principles of Education
What does the Bible teach regarding the education of children? Who does the teaching, and from what worldview? Is homeschooling the best option? What about Christian schools? Are public schools an option?

Discerning Truth: The Biblical Basis for Laws of Logic
We use laws of logic to justify our beliefs. But are the laws of logic themselves justified? In the biblical worldview, laws of logic reflect the thinking of God, and this accounts for their existence, their properties, and their usefulness. But no non-biblical worldview can possibly justify the laws of logic. Therefore, all non-biblical worldviews are inherently irrational.

Discerning Truth: COVID-19 Part 1
Discerning truth from error regarding the SARS-Cov-2 virus. How infectious is this virus? Are there ways to avoid or minimize the effects of COVID-19?
[Edit: Since the original publication of this video, we have learned much about the effects of mRNA inoculations. A number of technical medical papers conclude that these inoculations are neither as safe nor effective as commonly cited.]

Discerning Truth: Dialog on the Age of the Earth - Part 6. Distant Starlight
We continue analyzing the recent debate between Jason Lisle and Hugh Ross. This session involves the topic of the conventionality thesis - the principle that the one-way speed of light is stipulated rather than measured. Do gravitationally-lensed supernovae disprove the conventionality thesis?

Discerning Truth: Evolution vs. Science
The secular narrative is that Neo-Darwinian evolution is "scientific" and that alternatives are not. In reality, the opposite is true. If Neo-Darwinian evolution were true, then there would be no rational reason to think that science is a reliable tool for testing certain kinds of claims. Science is predicated on the historical fact of biblical creation. The nature of man and the universe must be precisely the way the Bible teaches in order for science to be rationally justified.

Discerning Truth: How to Interpret Genesis 1.
What is the proper method of interpreting the details of creation given in Genesis 1? Is this chapter a non-literal poetic way of saying that God created? It is a parable, or a fictional polemic? Are the creation days to be understood as literal days? What about the gap theory and the day-age theory?

Discerning Truth: The Importance of the Literal History of Genesis
Genesis is the historical reality upon which all major Christian doctrines are based. Marriage, morality, the Messiah, and the Gospel message itself all depend upon the truth of Genesis. Views that treat Genesis as poetic, or non-literal do not stand up to rational scrutiny
