I grew up “Catholic”, but to be honest I never bought into it. Mostly as a kid the last thing I wanted to do was spend 5 days in school and then another day at Sunday school. So I distanced myself for a long time from Faith in general. About as distanced as I was from politics. Politicians are less trustworthy than used car salesman, at least you know the motive for the salesman. I also voted third party in 2016 being sick of the 2 party system. I felt the same way about the church with their Priest situations. My views haven’t changed much since say 10 years ago. The biggest change was that I was indifferent on abortion until we had our first kid in 2018. When I saw the ultrasound and heartbeat for the first time at 9 weeks I knew that was my child immediately. Nothing can change that opinion. Then later that year I began to pay attention to politics after the blatant deception from the Kavanaugh BS. I found a lot of parallels with the people standing up for Kavanaugh/Trump as with the teachings from Christianity. In 2019 I bought my first Bible (King James version).
Skipping the rest of the journey to get to the point:
The efforts these people have taken to actively undermine the lessons of the Bible has lead me to exactly what they are trying to destroy.
I am just starting to build on my surface level knowledge from my childhood, but I’m determined to learn more.
I just wanted to share with this community of shit posters, memers, truthers, pedes, and most importantly Patriots that I feel there is much more going on than what we see.
Look into Kent Hovind for scientific creation applogetics which supports biblical narrative and shows the earth cant be millions of years old(seminar series on yt). And if you want the evidence for the resurrection there is Gary Habermas who proves with a high degree of certainty in his work based on the evidence archeological, biblical and non biblical historical facts which are accepted by critics which supports the historical truth of the resurrection. He also explains why theism is more rational than materialism given the failure for theories such as evolution to account for abiogenesis which means lofe from non living matter which is impossible without supernatural intervention as well. Science points to the validity of the biblical narrative its a total hoax that science contradicts the Bible and creation.
Read New Age Bible Versions by Riplinger it is the best book ive found that explains why the King James is reliable and why after the 1880s they started to make a new version every year to slowly change Gods word.
Thank God for Kent Hovind! He came to my school when I was just a little one. It solidified my beliefs in Genesis' Creation Story, and I've never doubted since then.
There's also a lot of great information at Answers in Genesis
When it comes to more conventional apologetics, I'm a big fan of David Wood who focuses mostly on Islam.
Hes legendary. Thanks for the David Wood tip.
You're very welcome! Hope you enjoy!
If you would prefer some of his lighter, more amusing videos, I'd recommend these...

Darwin was a Catholic priest that recanted his theory because of the way it was being used to remove God from science.
True science. Testing theories and basing conclusions on facts is in no way contradictory to any religion. They are apples and oranges. Real science describes the physical world and how it works. Religion describes faith and the supernatural and how that works.
Denying that the supernatural exists is the blind path the current religion of "science" has gone.
They have created their own creation myth (Evolution) have their own priests (experts/"scientist") that cannot be questioned on a range of dogma (Global Warming, LGBTQ, abortion . . . )
And these religious beliefs are shoved down every child's throat using our tax dollars.
Yup takes more faith to believe nothing created everything atleast an infinite being creating something from nothing is actually consistent with physical laws
Read the book "I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist". Fact based, scientific, philosophical, historical evidence for the truth of Christianity, or better stated the truth of God, the Bible, Christ, and His death and literal physical resurrection. Has a great forward written by Rush Limbaugh's brother.
What? Darwin was raised in the Church of England. Where are you getting that he was clergy of any Church?
This is what did it for me last night. I’ve stumbled on Lee Strobel, Kim Clement, and others over the past year but I started Hovind’s Age of the Earth last night. He even mentioned vaccines and the Georgia Guidestones which really hit home, because they are all things that have peaked the interest over the past few years. Then when he made biblical references around those things it had my mind racing last night going to bed. The statistics of crime post 1963 made the biggest impact to me. It was almost like a switch was flipped. Then when I woke up to Congress’ shenanigans and I knew this was way more than just the typical greed/control corruption I’ve known.
Thank you.
I highly recommend a copy of the MacArthur study Bible in your preferred translation (I recommend NAS or ESV), or the Reformation Heritage study Bible (KJV only). The official ESV Study Bible, as well as the Reformation Study Bible from R.C. Sproul, are wonderful as well.
There’s also a lot of information on the problems with evolution & how science supports the Bible’s account of creation in Genesis at answersingenesis.org, creation.com, & icr.org.
The articles they have helped restore my confidence that what the Bible says about our origins is true.
