Wait: Back Up – Biblical Truth vs science & history Dogma
Mitchell Pinckard follows the evidence to show how mankind keeps repeating the same patterns — from dragons to Babel, from crusaders to skeptics. Forensic Theology uncovers how every tower of dogma eventually falls, leaving us broken at the bottom — where the only way out is up, to the Light, by Jacob’s ladder to salvation. Let’s engage, let iron sharpen iron.
Forensic Theology isn’t about repeating dogma—it’s about testing evidence. Mitchell Pinckard invites readers to step into the crossroads of history, science, and scripture, not as passive listeners but as partners in discovery. From ancient ruins to modern skepticism, from biblical testimony to scientific findings, each layer adds weight to the question: what is true?
These books are written not to close debate, but to open it wider, giving every reader the tools to Defend, Strengthen, and Anchor on solid ground. The journey is less about having all the answers, and more about refusing to settle for easy ones. Along the way, readers encounter forgotten histories, misunderstood science, and overlooked scripture—threads that, when woven together, reveal patterns both unsettling and profound.
You are invited to examine, to question, and to sharpen truth together—iron against iron, faith against doubt, light against darkness. This is more than a series of books; it is a call to think deeply, to challenge assumptions, and to stand firmly on the Rock of Truth.

Defend your Faith. Strengthen your Understanding. Anchor on the Rock of Truth.
The Seal: Lux per Digitum Dei
The emblem you see is more than a mark—it is a witness. Its circle speaks of eternity, a truth without beginning or end. At its center stands the Chi-Rho, the ancient sign of Christ, shining with rays of light that break outward. Woven into that light are fingerprint lines—an imprint of identity, a reminder that the Creator leaves His mark upon creation and upon every soul.
The words Lux per Digitum Dei mean “Light through the Finger of God.” Just as light scatters darkness, truth cuts through confusion. A fingerprint cannot be faked, and neither can the evidence of God in history, in science, and in Scripture.
To the scholar, the seal declares that truth can withstand cross-examination. To the skeptic, it challenges every assumption with evidence. To the humble, it whispers that God has left His touch upon the world, as personal and undeniable as a fingerprint. To all, it promises that the light of Christ reaches through time, through dogma, and through every broken tower, refining us like silver until only what is pure remains.
This is the banner under which these works are written: evidence tested, truth revealed, light breaking through.
Mitchell Pinckard – Bio
Mitchell D. Pinckard leads Wait‑Backup, a publishing and teaching initiative aimed at helping ordinary people examine extraordinary claims. His flagship multi‑volume project, the Forensic Theology series, applies investigative reasoning to the places where scripture, history, and science collide. The goal is simple and stubborn: follow the evidence, correct the record, and make complex debates intelligible to non‑experts.
Mitchell’s approach was shaped by a career spanning offshore operations, data systems, and national‑lab collaboration. In the oilfield he invented and patented tools and methods for drilling optimization, well control, and directional drilling, then moved into energy research and security work with Sandia National Laboratories, where he co‑authored Proactive Security Through Measurement and Monitoring (OSTI.gov). Earlier mentorships with statisticians John Tukey and Stu Hunter trained him to see what models miss and to question “impossibilities” until the measurements speak. A formative episode was surviving a North Sea rogue wave decades before the phenomenon was broadly accepted in engineering assumptions—an experience that sharpened his instinct to reconcile institutional models with field evidence.
The Forensic Theology series includes volumes on eyewitness testimony and sacred geography, the rise of relic traditions, flood narratives and fossils, and modern spiritual claims (demons, cabals, and cultural manipulation). Across the set, Mitchell’s writing foregrounds clear terms, annotated sources, and a “Wait—Backup, then the hit” rhythm: pause, lay out the facts, then deliver the insight. He also supports his spouse’s creative venture, Ranch House Quilts, as part of a broader family‑built brand ecosystem.
Mitchell speaks to church groups, classrooms, and community forums about evidence‑based faith, intellectual courage, and how to build personal “forensic” habits for everyday discernment.
Redneck: A word with a fingerprint
I call myself a redneck. Not as an insult, but as a mark of identity. A redneck is someone who works with his hands, values wisdom over credentials, and refuses to kneel to injustice.
History records rednecks — Black, White, Slavic and immigrant — wearing a red bandanas around their neck at Blair Mountain, standing together for what was right when the world mocked them. They were labeled rednecks by others, but they wore the name with pride. For me, the word is a reminder that truth is often carried by ordinary people, not polished elites. The attitude behind that red bandana—the grit, the self-governance, the quiet resolve—didn’t start in 1921. It was there in 1776. It was there when a few farmers and tradesmen told the greatest empire in the world:
“We the People, in order to form a more perfect union…”
Those weren’t elites. They were rednecks by another name.
In that way, Forensic Theology is redneck work. It’s not about ivory towers or fragile dogma. It’s about rolling up sleeves, testing evidence, and refusing to accept easy answers when the fingerprints of truth are right in front of us.
Definition (Reclaimed and Grounded in Evidence):
Redneck (n.): A self-reliant individual, often rural and underestimated, who values wisdom over credentials and has the courage to stand against injustice. First seen in 1921 as men of all colors wore red bandanas into battle—not for wages, but for principle. The redneck is not defined by where he lives, but by what he’ll live for—and what he’ll never kneel to.
