The Truth Project

In an age where "your truth" and "my truth" dominate conversations, the foundational query remains: What is truth? This isn’t just philosophical musing; it’s the most important question every human must answer, as emphasized in "The Truth Project - Veritology: What Is Truth, Part 2." Delivered in a 2005 session that feels eerily relevant in 2024 (and beyond, as we sit here in 2025), this exploration defines truth as that which conforms to reality—reality as seen through God’s eyes. God, the creator and sustainer of all, determines what is true, making the cosmic battle one between His eternal truths and the pervasive lies of the world.

This blog unpacks the transcript’s key insights, from biblical regressions of humanity to modern societal insanity, historical attempts to undermine Christian worldview, and geological evidence supporting rapid creation. We’ll see how lies have consequences, how deliberate forgetfulness fuels deception, and why Jesus is the ultimate source of truth. By the end, you’ll be equipped to navigate this battle with renewed vigor.

The session opens with a handout of key points, zeroing in on the essence: Truth is reality as God sees it. It’s not subjective or malleable; it’s objective, rooted in the divine perspective. The speaker contrasts this with lies, which distort reality. Idols, for instance, are prime examples of lies—fabrications that people worship, as God laments in Scripture: "My people bowed down to a block of wood."

This sets up the cosmic battle: God’s truth claims versus everything else, which are inherently lies. It’s a war not just of ideas but of spiritual forces. The transcript references Romans 1 to illustrate humanity’s downward spiral when truth is rejected. God gives sinners over to:

This "common insanity" isn’t random; it’s a divine handover, allowing people to wallow in delusion. The speaker ties this to 2 Timothy, noting that outsiders—those ensnared—are "deluded and have been taken captive by Satan to do his will." Gentleness in engagement is urged, recognizing their captivity rather than willful malice.

What was discussed in 2005 as a warning has become headline news in 2024 and persists into 2025. The speaker marvels at how major institutions, including the U.S. President, debate restroom access based on gender identity. "Who can go into which restroom? Who is what sex?" These questions dominate national discourse. Even a Supreme Court nominee, when asked, "What is a woman?" deflects with, "I’m not a biologist," inadvertently admitting it’s a biological issue—affirming there are only two sexes.

This isn’t fringe; it’s led by "intellectual elites"—professors, leaders, and influencers shaping education and policy. The transcript contrasts this with the "dregs of society," emphasizing that insanity permeates the top echelons. The only explanation? A real Satan captivating minds, blinding the so-called smart to basic truths. In a post-truth era, where feelings trump facts, this delusion explains why societies embrace what the Bible calls depravity.

The call is clear: Approach with care and gentleness, but stand firm on truth. As believers, we’re not to conform to the world’s lies but be transformed by God’s reality (Romans 12:2 implied in the prayer).

Shifting to 2 Peter 3, the discussion explores how breaks from reality occur in two ways: self-induced delusion or external forces. Peter warns of scoffers who "deliberately forget" God’s acts, intentionally suppressing truth. This willful ignorance birthed modern anti-Christian theories.

Enter Charles Lyell, the 19th-century geologist who popularized uniformitarianism: "Everything we see today has always been going on." His mantra, "The present is the key to the past," dismissed catastrophic events like Noah’s flood. This laid groundwork for Darwin’s evolution in 1859 (noted as 1869 in the transcript, but close enough for context). The intent? To invalidate the Christian worldview: a six-day creation, a global flood, and divine intervention.

These lies weren’t born from observation but from a desire to negate Scripture. No one observed "billions of years" of slow processes; history is too short. Instead, theories arose to explain away evidence of judgment and creation. Peter predicted this: Scoffers say, "Where is the Lord? Things have always been this way." Uniformitarianism and evolution are tools to erode faith, with profound consequences—moral decay, as seen in the Romans progression.

To counter these lies, the transcript dives into a real-world example: the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. This event shatters uniformitarian assumptions, proving rapid geological change is possible—and observable.

Before the eruption, the area boasted forests, a pristine volcano, and Spirit Lake. Expectations mirrored Hawaiian eruptions: slow, observable lava flows. Reality was catastrophic. An earthquake triggered the northern face’s collapse at supersonic speeds—the mountain "disappeared" in moments, leaving a massive gouge.

The blast didn’t shoot upward; it angled north due to the collapse. Geologists on nearby ridges captured footage, but the closest perished. Cameras survived, revealing the speed. The blast raced at over 70 mph, felling forests and reshaping the landscape. Survivors on the second ridge escaped only because the blast deflected upward.

In just 48 hours, a canyon formed at the volcano’s base—with features mirroring the Grand Canyon:

This isn’t theory; it’s proven. We have evidence for canyon formation in days, not eons. Conversely, no proof exists for billions-of-years layering—we can’t observe it. Mount St. Helens validates biblical catastrophism, like the flood carving vast features rapidly. It exposes uniformitarianism as a lie designed to "deliberately forget" God’s acts.

Think on this: If a single volcano can mimic the Grand Canyon in hours, imagine a global flood’s power. Truth aligns with evidence; lies demand faith in unprovable deep time.

Amid this battle, Jesus emerges as the source of truth. He came to reveal reality, testifying to what is true. The Holy Spirit, called the "Spirit of truth," guides believers. The session stresses: Truth matters because it frees us from insanity and aligns us with God’s design.

The transcript ends with a heartfelt prayer, thanking God for His word’s excitement and knowledge of "the way things really are." It pleads for transformation, not conformity to lies; for diligent study; and for grounding others in truth to shape righteous living.

In 2025, as debates rage and elites peddle insanity, veritology calls us to arms. Reject deliberate forgetfulness. Embrace evidence like Mount St. Helens. Stand on God’s truth against Satan’s lies. As the prayer invokes: "Help us to put effort into our study…​ and ground them into your word and your truth." Truth isn’t optional—it’s the battlefield. Choose wisely, for eternity hangs in the balance.
