Hello curious people, here's a question for you to ponder:
This Easter, I'm releasing a 2-part video on the canon of the New Testament, answering the question of how the 27 books of the New Testament were selected to become part of the Bible.

A new year and a new video!
Hebrew can be a tricky language when it comes to understanding, on a detailed level, why certain vowels are the way they are. This video explains the rules surrounding pausa spelling to help clear up some minor changes that can take place.

After 9 months you can now enjoy Darwin’s Voyage of the Beagle Pt 3.
I’m happy with how it turned out & I hope you’ll join for his visit to the Pacific & Indian Oceans, including to the Galapagos Islands! I did my best to explain what inspired Darwin's theory of evolution.
Darwin’s Voyage of the Beagle – Part 3: Pacific and Indian Oceans
Join to become a member or sign up for my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/solomonscave In chapters 11-21 Darwin and the Beagle move up the Pacific coast of South America before hopping across the ocean and stopping at the Galapagos, Tahiti, New Zealand and Australia. In the Indian ocean, they stop at Keeling Island and Mauritius, before sailing around the Cape of Good Hope and then back home. Along the way, Darwin makes all sorts of observations about geology and biology and gathers a lot more pieces for his “Galapagos Puzzle”. — Bibliography in pinned comment — Music Sundown – Meditation Background Music | Qlowdy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qbc-x34myX8 Stream – Chill Background Music | KV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-ZR70Y4S3M memories of the sea – Cinematic Background Music | Rexlambo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjgpQXfY4O8 Found – Ambient Background Music | Pold: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wExOn3LfWsc Ambient, Minimal, Electronic No Copyright Music | mysterious place by Rexlambo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv3V7lgZynw Images https://imgflip.com/memegenerator https://www.freepik.com/ https://www.wikimedia.org/ https://unsplash.com/ https://darwin-online.org.uk/ #creation #evolution #darwin #charlesdarwin #voyageofthebeagle #beagle #fitzroy #biology #geology #science #chile #peru #earthquake #galapagos #tahiti #corals #slavery #racism #christianity

I’ve got a number of projects cooking and I’m really excited about all of them. From languages to philosophy, from the Bible to history, there’s something for everyone, and a mystery video!
I will add that the launch dates are aspirational, but I’m hopeful that I can keep pace until the spring.
November 15, 2025 at 3:43 PM
YES! We broke 10.000 subscribers, thank you all so much!
In order to celebrate, I will launch a new video next week on a new topic: the Resurrection of Jesus. The first video will answer the question “What is the New Testament?”
And two weeks after that: Darwin part 3 😊

Hello curious people, here is the second part of my mini-series on Darwin’s Voyage of the Beagle!
We’ll follow Darwin’s adventures on the Atlantic Ocean and the east coast of South America, wrapping up with a long and more detailed look at the story of the Fuegians.
Darwin’s Voyage of the Beagle – Part 2: England to Tierra del Fuego
Join to become a member or sign up for my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/solomonscave In the first ten chapters of his book, Charles Darwin recounts how he left England, crossed the Atlantic, and went up and down the South American coast, visiting Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, and Tierra del Fuego. Here he encounters tropical rain forests, slavery, and massive fossils. The tenth chapter is dedicated to his visit to Tierra del Fuego and the fate of the three Fuegians: York Minister, Fuegia Basket, and Jemmy Button. — Bibliography in pinned comment — Music Infraction - Flight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsUycBwrAlE&list=RDQMsHG1QcZtZkY&index=2 Infraction - Gray Clouds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HGKpy6yXZc&list=RDQMsHG1QcZtZkY&index=5 Infraction - Memories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npcbzeUZObs&list=RDQMsHG1QcZtZkY&index=13 Infraction - Tv Show 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ0uxpBnUI0&list=RDQMsHG1QcZtZkY&index=27 Infraction - November: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxE9V2lsZLI&list=RDQMsHG1QcZtZkY&index=27 Images https://imgflip.com/memegenerator https://www.freepik.com/ https://www.wikimedia.org/ https://unsplash.com/ https://darwin-online.org.uk/ #creation #evolution #darwin #charlesdarwin #voyageofthebeagle #beagle #fitzroy #biology #geology #science #TierradelFuego #fossils #megatherium #slavery #southamerica #argentina

Hello curious people, it is here! Darwin’s Voyage of the Beagle, part 1/3.
Part 2 is already available for Patreons (code: DARWIN50 for 50% off your 1st month) and YouTube members and will be available to all in 4 weeks.
In the meantime: enjoy this introduction to this book.
Darwin’s Voyage of the Beagle – Part 1: Introduction
Join to become a member or sign up for my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/solomonscave Charles Darwin, the so-called “Father of Evolution”, before becoming a famous scientist, went on a journey around the world and wrote a book about it. On this journey, he visited South America and the Pacific and Indian oceans, including the famous Galapagos archipelago, and made many interesting observations. These observations, ultimately, inspired him to develop a theory of evolution by natural selection. In this first (of three) video, we will introduce his book by placing it in its context by looking at the primary sources, the developments in cartography, biology, geology, and world politics. We will also find out more about who Darwin was, as well as captain Robert FitzRoy and the ship: the HMS Beagle. — Bibliography in pinned comment — Video - John Aliprantis: HMS Beagle – The Making Of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMwEQaS8SPg (John gave me permission to use his videos :) ) - The BBC reenactment of Darwin’s voyage can be found on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG_PsHFHGDQ&t=1926s Music Infraction - Flight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsUycBwrAlE&list=RDQMsHG1QcZtZkY&index=2 Infraction - Gray Clouds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HGKpy6yXZc&list=RDQMsHG1QcZtZkY&index=5 Infraction - Memories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npcbzeUZObs&list=RDQMsHG1QcZtZkY&index=13 Infraction - Tv Show 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ0uxpBnUI0&list=RDQMsHG1QcZtZkY&index=27 Infraction - November: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxE9V2lsZLI&list=RDQMsHG1QcZtZkY&index=27 Images https://imgflip.com/memegenerator https://www.freepik.com/ https://www.wikimedia.org/ https://unsplash.com/ https://darwin-online.org.uk/ Keywords #creation #evolution #darwin #charlesdarwin #voyageofthebeagle #beagle #fitzroy #biology #geology #science
