Science, math, and reason will always support the historicity of the Bible. Dr. Joseph Holden, President of Veritas International University, Chief Academic Officer, Dr. Brian Nixon, and Archaeologist Dr. Gary Byers explain how VIU’s school of Apologetics trains students to defend the Christian worldview from a classical/evidential perspective. There are many examples of discoveries in science confirming the existence of God, and the accuracy of the Bible. Read about one such example with the discovery of the ancient city of Sodom. Archaeologists Dr. Steven Collins and Dr. Gary Byers lead a team of scientists and excavators for 16 years at Tall el Hamman in Jordan where they unearthed and documented the destruction of the city. The confirm the city was destroyed exactly as described in Genisis 19:23-28. Read about the science here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-97778-3.
