Hello! I’m Stephen Hackett and the goal of this channel is to enrich your study of the scriptures by sharing things I’m learning as I study the scriptures and providing reviews of books and resources to help deepen your study.
The battle cry of the Reformation was “ad fontes” —to the fountains—and returning to the fountain of the scriptures is something I strive to do on this channel.

I have to choose my words carefully here – I don’t want certain bots picking this up, if you know what I mean.
Hey guys. I need to talk to you about something.
A few days ago I sat down with Dr. Andrew Snelling – a geologist with a PhD from the University of Sydney – and it was honestly one of the best conversations I’ve ever had on this channel. The information he shared was remarkable. I put serious work into the edit. Same format I’ve always used here. Format that works.
The video didn’t perform the way it should have.
So I did what any creator would do – I pulled one of the most compelling moments from the interview and made a shorter clip. Distilled it down. Something that should have connected with people immediately.
Same result.
So I made a decision. I opened my wallet and paid to promote it – because I genuinely believed this information was worth getting in front of more people. YouT*** took some money. Ran some ads.
Then they shut it down.
The denial came with a generic explanation. Boilerplate. The kind of language designed to tell you nothing. And I’ve been sitting with this for a few days now, trying to figure out how to say what I actually think is going on here.
Here’s what makes this particularly striking to me. The video that seems to be getting suppressed – the one they wouldn’t promote – is about government censorship of Creationist research. I’ll let that sink in for a second.

And I’ve already received an email from someone telling me the video won’t even play for them. Now, it is still playing for others, so I don’t want to overstate it. But I’m not going to pretend I didn’t notice.
I realize not everyone watching this is a Young Earth Creationist. That’s fine – you don’t have to be. You don’t have to agree with Dr. Snelling on a single thing to care about whether people are allowed to speak freely. This isn’t really about geology. It’s about whether ideas you disagree with are allowed to exist in the public square.
I don’t think I need to spell the rest out. I think you can connect the dots.
Just… share this one if it means something to you. Before it disappears too.

Sometimes the truth is buried right under our feet. I sat down with a top creation geologist to look at the undeniable physical evidence of the Global Flood—and it will leave you in awe.

I’ve started work editing a video with a Harvard trained biologist discussing the intersection between the Bible and science. I think you are going to enjoy it.

To my old earth friends and fellow believers, please do not interpret my passion for Young Earth Creationism as disrespect for you. To me, this isn’t a salvation issue, but it’s a topic that I really enjoy talking about.

I had a wonderful conversation with a Paleontologist on the age of the earth. Can’t wait for you to see it.

What if we set modern science aside for a moment… and just read Genesis on its own terms?
I went back to the earliest Jewish interpreters and Church Fathers — not blogs, not secondary sources — but the primary texts themselves.
What I found surprised me.
Full video coming.
