We are doing high quality original research that can challenge many academic dogmas of our day -in areas such as cosmology, geology, genetics, and archeology.” Their livestream presentations are on a somewhat technical level.

Rational Faith The goal of Rational Faith is to encourage non-believing seekers of the truth, as well as Christians who feel challenged in their faith. To that end Rational Faith provides evidence in the form of information to demonstrate that Christianity is in fact true, and is thus the best answer to not only the question of origins, but is also the correct way to view the world; and consequently that evolution is in fact not true.
