Did Jesus exist? Setting aside whether Jesus is the son of God and savior of the world for a moment, is there real evidence that he existed as a human in history?

The short answer is yes, say historians, but there is a small movement out there that claims Jesus was a myth. Dr. Craig Evans refers to these people as mythicists, and talks with Henry Smith about what they claim, and the evidence against it.

Morality… where does it come from? Where do good and evil come from? Do they come from God? Does God exist? Deep questions that shape our worldview, and the worldview of Western Civilization borrows heavily from the Judeo-Christian worldview.

Henry Smith and Dr. Josh Kline discuss these and other questions related to morality. Dr. Kline is an educator, teacher of world history and western Civ, and is an elder at Grace Gospel Church in Allentown, PA.

In the 1880s an archive of clay tablets was discovered in Amarna Egypt. These tablets contain interesting correspondence from the kings of Canaan that were paying tribute to the pharoah in Egypt, and they take place during the early time of when the Israelites were conquering the promised land.

Henry Smith discusses the contents of these letters with Dr Scott Stripling, archaeoligist and director of excavations at the dig at Shiloh, Israel. And spoiler alert, Dr. Stripling has a new theory about a connection to Shiloh that might be mentioned in the Amarna Letters.

Noah's Ark, the Ark of the Covenant, Mt. Sinai... Many have claimed to have found these things, but how can you know if they are right? Espcially if there are more than one location that has been found? And what about relics that have been found and are put on display in churches? Like pieces of the cross from Jesus' crusifixion, or the crown of thorns - You can see them, but are they the real thing? We discuss some of these claims and suggest caution when someone makes a claim that they have found something significant.

Why are genealogies in the Bible? And why are the genealogies in Genesis so weird? People don't live that long, so they couldn't possibly be literal numbers, right? Henry Smith discusses a bunch of these questions from his many years of study of Biblical genealogy.

The Grand Canyon in Arizona is a prime spot for geologists to research the layers of Earth's history. But if you're a Creationist, you might have a harder time getting permission to research there because your theroies don't conform to the mainstream thinking about how the world was formed, including ideas about a historical worldwide flood from the story of Noah's Ark.

Henry Smith chats with geologist Dr. Andrew Snelling from Answers in Genesis about his research in the Grand Canyon, and also his experience of worldview descrimination while attempting to gain permission to retrieve rock samples for geological study.
