I tried an apologetic method. And it proved Romulus' resurrection? 🤯

Do "undesigned coincidences" prove the Gospels are historically reliable? Christian apologists claim that when Gospel accounts complement each other without betraying direct copying, it proves eyewitness testimony. But what happens when we apply this same logic to Roman mythology?

In this video, I test the undesigned coincidences argument on five ancient sources about Romulus's death and ascension - sources we KNOW are not eyewitness accounts. The results are... uncomfortable for apologetics.

🔍 WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER:
How undesigned coincidences supposedly work
Five sources on Romulus (Cicero, Livy, Dionysius, Ovid, Plutarch)
Multiple "coincidences" that seem to prove Romulus's divination
Why this apologetic method can't distinguish literary from historical evidence
What this means for Gospel reliability claims


📚 SOURCES EXAMINED:
Cicero, De Re Publica (54 BCE)
Livy, Ab Urbe Condita (27 BCE-14 CE)
Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Roman Antiquities (7 BCE)
Ovid, Fasti (8 CE)
Plutarch, Life of Romulus (75-115 CE)
