Going-Ons of Tadukoo

 Just like last year , I have new plans with the coming of the New Year. This year, I won't be posting the new plans in the same format as last year (because frankly it was a terrible format, but to be fair it made sense for the amount of plans). One thing I want to do is to start following a yearly Bible reading plan (specifically this one on Bible Gateway ). It is designed for you to read the Old Testament once and the New Testament 3 times in a year. Another thing I'll be doing is following the 30 Days of Hustle by Jon Acuff for January. My current idea for what to hustle on with it is writing a book discussing various arguments for the existence of God, what atheists have to say about the arguments, and responses to the atheists. Whether that's what I actually do for the 30 days or not, we'll see. For YouTube, I'm planning to switch to a twice a week upload schedule, uploading a Minecraft w/ 3/2 Blockheads episode every Thursday and another video every Tuesday. ...

 I previously talked about the Tadukoo Bible Project . I mentioned that "any truth is God's truth". While that's true, it has to be understood how you find truth. How you find truth is a philosophical topic that is part of the study of epistemology. While it's a very interesting topic to talk about with all the various philosophers and their ideas, I'm not going to go into detail about all that here, but I'll present a bit of my experience in college philosophy. Early on in the class, we talked about different kinds of relativism (ideas that certain contradictory truths could both be true). I wrote them down, noting how crazy they seemed and figured we'd discuss why they're false. We didn't. I can't recall talking about any philosopher who accepted the obvious fact that absolute truth exists and that relativism is a joke. Let me clarify (since there are many varied definitions of relativism), that I am saying that to say two things are true...

 The idea with being creative in the Tadukoo Bible Project  can be misinterpreted (just like anything can be). For example, someone could think a way to be creative would be to present an idea that goes against what I believe and then refuting it and presenting my belief. While this is creative (and could be used honestly in the project), it can easily be done in a harmful way. If I would present an idea as true for 15 minutes in a 30 minute video without any notes in those 15 minutes (or the title or description) that I don't believe the idea, but then in the 2nd half of the video refute the idea and present my idea as true, it wouldn't be good. Some people would quit watching in those 15 minutes with the idea that I believe whatever I was presenting, which would be giving them the wrong idea. A better way to do it would be to include somewhere at the beginning (or in the title or description) that I'm simply presenting the idea and will refute it later (and I could includ...

I recently talked about my new goal being the Tadukoo Bible Project , and that things should either be reconciled to the new goal or stopped. This post is about how I can reconcile things to the new goal. Regarding TAG (the game I've worked on programming and have posted about multiple times), to reconcile it, I'd simply have to give it a good moral message (or multiple). Any other games I would make would also need a good moral message or to be specifically about God. The API and Engine I've been designing don't really need reconciled, because they are tools to use to make other programs. Minecraft with Tadukoo would change in some way that I'd talk about God or His knowledge and wisdom in the videos as the main subject. Minecraft: Order of the Stone: A Retelling of the Cave Game would change so that I not only talk about the history of Minecraft, but events from those days in a Christian worldview and potentially my life in those days. Any other YouTube series wou...

 Recently, I went looking for sources for my apologetics research. I ended up finding an e-book called Apologetics Challenge. The first challenge is to write a mission statement, so I did. I wrote that I want "to creatively hand the world God's knowledge and wisdom". That is my goal in life now, and the basis of the Tadukoo Bible Project. I've realized that the other things I've done or am doing should either be reconciled to this goal or ceased, and I'll write another post describing what will be reconciled and how in the future. This post is to explain the idea of the Tadukoo Bible Project and the things that are already included in it. First I want to explain the goal better. God’s knowledge and wisdom is primarily the Bible, but by extension any truth is God’s truth, so any truth can be included. I separate knowledge and wisdom, because knowledge means simply knowing something is true; wisdom means knowing how to apply that truth. I say creatively to combi...
