Exploring Science and Faith with host Jay Seegert The primary focus of The Starting Point Project is to help strengthen the Christian’s faith, so they are more confident in what they believe and consequently better positioned to mentor their own children and share the Gospel message with family, friends, relatives, co-workers or anyone else who lacks a true saving relationship with Christ.

  • New Christian in training

    I’m less than 2 months into my journey with God. Early on someone shared a podcast with Jay and since I have watched some of his videos.

    At 45 I can appreciate his use of science to explain how the Bible is real as I feel very vulnerable telling people about my new faith.

    I started this podcast at episode 1 and currently on 7. My only critique would be to please make these longer. Like 3-4hrs would be just fine.

    Thank you for putting these out there. May god continue to bless both you and you... more

  • Grok from xAi recently revised its approach to consensus old earth training data.

    In a conversation with Grok I was able to get it to strip the conclusions from scientific papers and rely on data only, pushing back on old earth consensus and admit young earth is more logically consistent. It’s flagged the conversation for review and added your podcast for human review of the training data for an update.

    Apparently Grok has determined that approximately 90% of human scientific consensus is incorrect, especially when humans are in a group.

  • Love the podcast!

    I first listened to you when you gave a talk a few years back at a church in Kenosha WI. Being a big science nerd as well, I take keen interest in how every bit of science can be proven by the Bible and that the Bible keeps getting proven true by science. I absolutely love the podcast. The way you break things down to show how this is all true is just great. Keep up the good work! Lord bless Jay!
