How was that for you when you heard that? I mean, that's a non-falsifiable claim. You can't prove or disprove that Jesus was an alien. I can prove a lot of things I think about the historical Jesus, but claims about aliens are claims that have no falsification. So they're kind of...

perfect for conspiratorial arguments because they have no ability to be debunked or to be proven or disproven so we i mean in terms of what do i think of that i mean i don't know jesus wasn't an alien so i mean i of what we know about what Jesus was.

And I think this gets to the heart of the issue in terms of, I can't speak to trying to get into Billy's head or psychologizing why he does something. But at the end of the day, I am two things, right? I am an aspiring biblical scholar and historian, and I am a Christian. And so I'm very concerned with a good history and articulating and using proper methodologies to derive good history.

And I believe that Jesus was who he actually claimed to be. That when he predicted his own death and resurrection and then pulled it off, that people who rise from the dead have more credibility and authority than people who don't rise from the dead. And so I think that should be taken seriously. And I think the claims that Billy articulates...

They lead people astray to doubt that in a way that I don't think is credible philosophically or historically and are easily debunked. And so my first priority is, okay, I want people, when I make a video, any video, you know, a response video, or, you know, when I'm talking about manuscripts on my Instagram page or whatever it is, different levels of kind of nerdy on that scale.

It's because I want people to, A, get interested in doing good history and how that's actually performed, and B, I want to show them that the truth claims of Christianity are actually not just defensible, but are backed up by evidence in what we can look at in the timeframe of history.

I mean, I don't know the hours, years. I mean, there's the whole thousand hours thing, right? The 10,000 hours. 10,000 hours, yeah, yeah. So, I mean, at minimum, I've definitely done that in terms of my original motivation.

And our goal is that we want to pursue and communicate a biblically sound and intellectually robust and a culturally engaged faith. We want to come alongside Christians and help them know what it is they believe and why they should believe it.

not because I want to kind of gain some sort of credibility intellectually, although I do want to derive a level of expertise where I can speak knowledgeably on a topic, but ultimately because I think these topics are important.
