Nothing Fails Like Bible History?? Challenging YouTuber "Holy Koolaid" – The BC Messenger
[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.Also on this episode:Helen's View: Building the North Room LaboratoriesPODCAST WEBSITE: Head over there, leave us a review, and browse past episodes.READ the full Show Notes and view images online at https://www.biblicalchronologist.org/store/archives/BCM_March_2026.htmlSUBSCRIBE to The BC Messenger email list at https://www.biblicalchronologist.org/store/BCM_email.phpSHOP our products on our new store!Got questions or comments?
