Conspiracies

It’s getting so it’s hard to believe in anything these days.

We used to laugh and odd, minority positions like the moon landing was staged in back lot in Hollywood.

People who question the Holocaust.

These used t/b fringe positions by ppl w/ political motivations.

Now, conspiracies are more main stream and more widely accepted.

There seems to be an exception to everything.

What happened to history to cause us to question facts?

What happened to science that produces emotional arguments over what should be factual positions?

Climate change. Is it happening? What’s causing it?

Gender? You’re either XX or XY.

I appreciate the ppl have strong feelings on this issue.

When did we start getting most of our political news from comedians?

When did it begin to matter what celebrities think of our politicians so when they get their awards their acceptance speech is more of a political rally?

These underlying questions have come into the church leading us to question positions that we though had been settled long ago.

Is the earth young or old?

Gender and Gender identity

The Holocaust

Creation. Young earth or old earth.

Creation. Young earth or old earth.

Did Noah’s ark and the flood really happen?
