2
00:01:07,427 --> 00:01:10,195
3,500 years ago,

3
00:01:13,193 --> 00:01:17,359
after the worldwide
flood of Noah's time,

4
00:01:17,361 --> 00:01:20,362
before the birth of Christ,

5
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:26,561
God inspired Moses to record
history from the beginning.

6
00:01:29,759 --> 00:01:34,358
These writings became
the first five books

7
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:39,361
of the Old Testament beginning
with Genesis, the first book,

8
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:46,727
testifying of a genealogy
of men, from Adam,

9
00:01:48,327 --> 00:01:52,428
the first man, to Abraham,
with whom God established

10
00:01:53,794 --> 00:01:57,660
his covenant leading to God's
ultimate plan of redemption,

11
00:01:58,627 --> 00:02:01,227
a new covenant, yet to come.

12
00:02:03,161 --> 00:02:08,161
It is the definitive book of
our origins and our destiny,

13
00:02:11,460 --> 00:02:15,327
a destiny we cannot
fully understand

14
00:02:16,759 --> 00:02:20,160
until we go back
to the beginning.

15
00:02:31,393 --> 00:02:34,559
They hijack science, and
they convince the whole world

16
00:02:34,561 --> 00:02:37,761
that science is only possible
within an atheistic worldview.

17
00:02:46,493 --> 00:02:49,359
I have to ask the question.
How can you not believe

18
00:02:49,361 --> 00:02:52,194
that somebody
designed all of this?

19
00:03:01,293 --> 00:03:04,625
Obviously, the genius
of God's creative hand

20
00:03:04,627 --> 00:03:09,158
screams of the existence
of an intelligent designer.

21
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,625
The Bible begins with a
statement that is so simple

22
00:05:42,627 --> 00:05:44,158
a child can understand it,

23
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,691
yet so inexhaustibly profound,

24
00:05:46,693 --> 00:05:50,690
"In the beginning, God created
the heaven and the earth."

25
00:05:50,692 --> 00:05:53,425
You see, this argument
over God's existence,

26
00:05:53,427 --> 00:05:55,490
or creation versus evolution,

27
00:05:55,492 --> 00:05:57,690
is not so much a
religious argument,

28
00:05:57,692 --> 00:06:00,159
rather, it is an
ontological argument,

29
00:06:00,161 --> 00:06:05,092
that is, an argument concerning
the nature of reality.

30
00:06:05,094 --> 00:06:06,825
It's not science
versus religion.

31
00:06:06,827 --> 00:06:08,358
It's a worldview clash.

32
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,358
Two different views of origins

33
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,691
resulting in two totally
different worldviews that clash.

34
00:06:13,693 --> 00:06:16,292
People are battling over
two different histories.

35
00:06:16,294 --> 00:06:18,825
You either trust God,
or you trust man.

36
00:06:18,827 --> 00:06:21,092
It really becomes
an issue of authority.

37
00:06:21,094 --> 00:06:22,490
Who is the authority?

38
00:06:22,492 --> 00:06:25,259
Is it God in his
Word, or is it man?

39
00:06:25,261 --> 00:06:27,824
Really, we only have
two possibilities.

40
00:06:27,826 --> 00:06:32,158
Either the universe, and
we, came about through,

41
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,424
a purely natural,
purely physical process,

42
00:06:35,426 --> 00:06:39,424
we just happened,
or somebody made us.

43
00:06:39,426 --> 00:06:42,292
I was really taught
that there was a big bang,

44
00:06:42,294 --> 00:06:44,691
there were millions of
years, man slowly evolved.

45
00:06:44,693 --> 00:06:47,424
Evolution, atheistic
evolution, big bang,

46
00:06:47,426 --> 00:06:48,625
millions of years.

47
00:06:48,627 --> 00:06:51,192
If we simply happened,

48
00:06:51,194 --> 00:06:53,691
then there really is
no right or wrong.

49
00:06:53,693 --> 00:06:56,792
We could really live our
lives the way we wished to,

50
00:06:56,794 --> 00:06:58,757
and that's of huge consequence.

51
00:06:58,759 --> 00:07:01,225
Evolution has a lot of
unintended consequences

52
00:07:01,227 --> 00:07:02,757
that I'm not sure everyone
has thought about.

53
00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:04,091
They relate to ethics.

54
00:07:04,093 --> 00:07:05,291
They relate to whether
or not the world

55
00:07:05,293 --> 00:07:06,491
is supposed to be good.

56
00:07:06,493 --> 00:07:08,691
When you find yourself
struggling with evil,

57
00:07:08,693 --> 00:07:10,324
you ought to ask yourself.

58
00:07:10,326 --> 00:07:11,558
"Well, I thought the world
was supposed to be this way?

59
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,059
"If evolution is true,
then get used to it."

60
00:07:14,061 --> 00:07:16,457
You see if evolution
is true, who am I?

61
00:07:16,459 --> 00:07:18,091
You're nothing important.

62
00:07:18,093 --> 00:07:19,425
You're just a
piece of protoplasm

63
00:07:19,427 --> 00:07:21,558
that washed up from
the cosmic shores.

64
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,091
Man's just an animal.

65
00:07:23,093 --> 00:07:24,757
We're Mother Nature's
science project.

66
00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:26,225
Why am I here?

67
00:07:26,227 --> 00:07:28,225
If evolution is true,

68
00:07:28,227 --> 00:07:30,691
if nature is all there is,
there's no real purpose.

69
00:07:30,693 --> 00:07:32,424
Might as well do
whatever you feel like.

70
00:07:32,426 --> 00:07:34,224
If it feels good, do it!

71
00:07:34,226 --> 00:07:36,224
You have no meaning.

72
00:07:36,226 --> 00:07:38,425
There's no reason
for you to exist.

73
00:07:38,427 --> 00:07:40,091
Where am I going when I die?

74
00:07:40,093 --> 00:07:42,158
You're gonna go
back into the ground

75
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,159
and that is gonna be it.

76
00:07:43,161 --> 00:07:44,357
The lights are turned out.

77
00:07:44,359 --> 00:07:48,058
You die and become
part of nothingness.

78
00:07:48,060 --> 00:07:50,425
You're worthless.

79
00:07:50,427 --> 00:07:52,558
But if there is a God,

80
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,290
in particular the
God of the Bible,

81
00:07:54,292 --> 00:07:58,425
then the world or reality,
is altogether different.

82
00:07:58,427 --> 00:08:00,159
I thought to
believe in the Bible

83
00:08:00,161 --> 00:08:01,557
meant you had to reject science.

84
00:08:01,559 --> 00:08:03,557
I thought I had to
take a mental lobotomy

85
00:08:03,559 --> 00:08:05,425
in order to start
believing the Bible.

86
00:08:05,427 --> 00:08:07,224
We hear the mantra.

87
00:08:07,226 --> 00:08:09,092
"All the scientists
believe in evolution."

88
00:08:09,094 --> 00:08:11,357
Some people today
want to insist

89
00:08:11,359 --> 00:08:13,825
that you can't do science
without believing in evolution.

90
00:08:13,827 --> 00:08:16,491
In other words, if
you are a Creationist,

91
00:08:16,493 --> 00:08:19,159
you are not classed
as a scientist.

92
00:08:19,161 --> 00:08:22,490
There are thousands of PhD
scientists all over the world

93
00:08:22,492 --> 00:08:24,490
who don't accept evolution,

94
00:08:24,492 --> 00:08:27,290
and many of them don't
accept the millions of years.

95
00:08:27,292 --> 00:08:28,724
I do have four degrees.

96
00:08:28,726 --> 00:08:31,724
Most evolutionists I've
met have only three.

97
00:08:31,726 --> 00:08:34,757
There is a small movement in
the evolutionist community

98
00:08:34,759 --> 00:08:37,225
to try to get the
doctoral degrees rescinded

99
00:08:37,227 --> 00:08:39,224
from all professing
creationists.

100
00:08:39,226 --> 00:08:40,424
That's never gonna happen,

101
00:08:40,426 --> 00:08:42,091
but the fact that
someone is trying

102
00:08:42,093 --> 00:08:44,525
speaks of the nature
of the debate.

103
00:08:44,527 --> 00:08:49,159
The secularists and the
atheists took control of science.

104
00:08:49,161 --> 00:08:51,291
They took control of
all the science journals

105
00:08:51,293 --> 00:08:53,491
and all the university
science programs.

106
00:08:53,493 --> 00:08:54,690
They have taken
over the museums.

107
00:08:54,692 --> 00:08:56,324
They have taken over
the state schools.

108
00:08:56,326 --> 00:08:57,724
They have taken over
the universities.

109
00:08:57,726 --> 00:09:00,825
The textbooks, the public
schools, in every country.

110
00:09:00,827 --> 00:09:02,557
The secularists
really have control

111
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,424
of the educational system
and they want their religion

112
00:09:05,426 --> 00:09:07,624
of secularism, of
atheism, of naturalism

113
00:09:07,626 --> 00:09:10,357
forced upon the students.

114
00:09:10,359 --> 00:09:12,124
They use political pressure.

115
00:09:12,126 --> 00:09:13,824
They use scare tactics.

116
00:09:13,826 --> 00:09:15,258
They use the ACLU.

117
00:09:15,260 --> 00:09:17,624
They will intimidate
school districts

118
00:09:17,626 --> 00:09:19,691
and take away their autonomy

119
00:09:19,693 --> 00:09:21,825
that is given to them
by the constitution.

120
00:09:21,827 --> 00:09:23,424
And if that's what
they have to do,

121
00:09:23,426 --> 00:09:26,624
if you need laws to protect
your scientific theory

122
00:09:26,626 --> 00:09:30,490
from criticism, what does that
tell you about your theory?

123
00:09:30,492 --> 00:09:33,223
In America, there is no
separation of Church and State

124
00:09:33,225 --> 00:09:36,458
because the State is forcing
a religion on generations

125
00:09:36,460 --> 00:09:38,725
of kids, and that is that
everything can be explained

126
00:09:38,727 --> 00:09:40,825
by natural processes only.

127
00:09:40,827 --> 00:09:42,558
They eliminate the supernatural.

128
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:43,490
That is a religion.

129
00:09:43,492 --> 00:09:45,158
It is a religion of atheism.

130
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,690
They hijack science, and
they convince the whole world

131
00:09:47,692 --> 00:09:51,391
that science is only possible
within an atheistic worldview.

132
00:09:51,393 --> 00:09:54,758
Even though modern science
was born in the womb

133
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,357
of the Christian worldview.

134
00:09:56,359 --> 00:09:58,191
Do you know that science
was pretty much invented

135
00:09:58,193 --> 00:09:59,358
by people of faith?

136
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,690
Think of Isaac Newton.

137
00:10:00,692 --> 00:10:02,758
I think he needs
a better PR agent.

138
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,091
All we know is that
he had an apple fall

139
00:10:04,093 --> 00:10:05,324
on his head and
discovered gravity.

140
00:10:05,326 --> 00:10:06,491
He was always trying to
do mathematical formulas

141
00:10:06,493 --> 00:10:08,358
and show that the idea
of math and reason

142
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,625
came directly from a creator
who invented the world.

143
00:10:10,627 --> 00:10:13,058
Isaac Newton, Boyle,
Pasteur, Faraday.

144
00:10:13,060 --> 00:10:15,357
These guys were
Bible-believing Christians.

145
00:10:15,359 --> 00:10:17,224
Johannes Kepler, who
pretty much invented

146
00:10:17,226 --> 00:10:19,091
modern astronomy, he
didn't see any problem

147
00:10:19,093 --> 00:10:20,690
between science
and the scriptures.

148
00:10:20,692 --> 00:10:23,224
Most of the early scientists
were not materialists.

149
00:10:23,226 --> 00:10:24,557
Most of the early scientists

150
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,558
were theists who believed
that there was a God

151
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:28,224
who had created everything

152
00:10:28,226 --> 00:10:31,290
and the reason that we could
understand the created world

153
00:10:31,292 --> 00:10:33,490
was that there was a
mind, an intelligence,

154
00:10:33,492 --> 00:10:35,223
behind the material world.

155
00:10:35,225 --> 00:10:38,224
We need to acknowledge
that there is a creator God

156
00:10:38,226 --> 00:10:40,059
who put in place
an orderly universe

157
00:10:40,061 --> 00:10:42,324
to allow us to
understand science.

158
00:10:42,326 --> 00:10:44,092
What makes more sense.

159
00:10:44,094 --> 00:10:46,691
A rational God who
created a rational world

160
00:10:46,693 --> 00:10:49,757
that can be studied
rationally, or an irrational,

161
00:10:49,759 --> 00:10:53,157
meaningless process
created a rational world

162
00:10:53,159 --> 00:10:55,158
that can be studied rationally?

163
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,392
It doesn't even make sense.

164
00:10:56,394 --> 00:10:59,357
In a secularized world where
there is no right and wrong,

165
00:10:59,359 --> 00:11:01,358
everything just exploded
and this is what we have?

166
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,190
Why would we have all
these beautiful laws

167
00:11:03,192 --> 00:11:05,290
like F=ma or E=mc squared?

168
00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:08,290
In a secular worldview
with things like big bang,

169
00:11:08,292 --> 00:11:09,757
evolution, millions of
years, origin of life,

170
00:11:09,759 --> 00:11:11,291
those are not scientific.

171
00:11:11,293 --> 00:11:13,091
A lot of people have
been duped into believing

172
00:11:13,093 --> 00:11:14,491
that they are, but they're not.

173
00:11:14,493 --> 00:11:17,223
For example, is big bang
observable and repeatable?

174
00:11:17,225 --> 00:11:18,558
No.

175
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:19,558
Is millions of years
observable and repeatable?

176
00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:20,424
No.

177
00:11:20,426 --> 00:11:21,624
Origin of life.

178
00:11:21,626 --> 00:11:23,091
Has anybody ever made
life from non-life?

179
00:11:23,093 --> 00:11:24,258
No.

180
00:11:24,260 --> 00:11:26,090
Evolution is not
scientific fact.

181
00:11:26,092 --> 00:11:28,424
The millions of years
is not scientific fact.

182
00:11:28,426 --> 00:11:31,757
Evolution and millions of
years is the greatest myth

183
00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:34,158
ever forced on the minds of men.

184
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,624
The reason that everybody
believes it is because

185
00:11:36,626 --> 00:11:38,357
they have been brainwashed.

186
00:11:38,359 --> 00:11:40,224
Are we gonna believe
man, who wasn't there

187
00:11:40,226 --> 00:11:42,424
during the supposed millions
and millions of years

188
00:11:42,426 --> 00:11:44,323
of Earth's history,
and who really just has

189
00:11:44,325 --> 00:11:46,724
to make up stories about
what happened in the past?

190
00:11:46,726 --> 00:11:49,158
When you start buying into
evolution, millions of years,

191
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,458
and some of those ideas, as
soon as you've done that,

192
00:11:51,460 --> 00:11:52,690
you've opened the door to say,

193
00:11:52,692 --> 00:11:54,658
"You don't have to trust
the Bible completely."

194
00:11:54,660 --> 00:11:58,091
If you can't believe
Genesis one through 12,

195
00:11:58,093 --> 00:12:00,757
why should you believe
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John?

196
00:12:00,759 --> 00:12:03,091
That is a logical incoherence.

197
00:12:03,093 --> 00:12:06,657
Now you're picking and choosing
which scriptures to believe.

198
00:12:06,659 --> 00:12:10,324
Hypocrisy in the Church
is the greatest deterrent

199
00:12:10,326 --> 00:12:12,824
to turning people to
Christ and to confidence

200
00:12:12,826 --> 00:12:16,757
in the written word, from
Genesis to Revelation.

201
00:12:16,759 --> 00:12:19,490
Genesis is so important
because it's the foundation

202
00:12:19,492 --> 00:12:24,224
of who God is, who we are,
why is the world broken?

203
00:12:24,226 --> 00:12:25,690
Why do bad things
happen to good people?

204
00:12:25,692 --> 00:12:27,691
And why do good things
sometimes happen to bad people?

205
00:12:27,693 --> 00:12:29,223
And does anyone have a fix?

206
00:12:29,225 --> 00:12:31,357
All this gets related
to us in Genesis.

207
00:12:31,359 --> 00:12:34,558
Genesis is giving us the
true history of the world.

208
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:36,124
The scientific evidence

209
00:12:36,126 --> 00:12:38,291
does not support evolution
and millions of years.

210
00:12:38,293 --> 00:12:40,290
It confirms what Genesis says,

211
00:12:40,292 --> 00:12:43,258
about a flood, about
the age of the Earth.

212
00:12:43,260 --> 00:12:45,357
God's Word is true from
the very first verse.

213
00:12:45,359 --> 00:12:48,624
And we need to, in this debate
of creation versus evolution,

214
00:12:48,626 --> 00:12:51,557
always be standing on
the truth of God's Word.

215
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,757
Stand firm on the
authority of the Word of God,

216
00:12:53,759 --> 00:12:56,160
starting with the
very first verse.

217
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:38,160
"In the beginning
God created the heaven

218
00:13:41,659 --> 00:13:42,626
"and the earth.

219
00:13:45,827 --> 00:13:50,760
"And the earth was without
form, and void, and

220
00:13:52,359 --> 00:13:56,293
"darkness was upon
the face of the deep.

221
00:13:57,692 --> 00:14:02,426
"And the spirit of God moved
upon the face of the waters.

222
00:14:05,759 --> 00:14:10,994
"And God said, 'Let
there be light.'

223
00:14:15,493 --> 00:14:17,361
"And there was light.

224
00:14:21,292 --> 00:14:26,326
"And God saw the light,
that it was good.

225
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,626
"And God divided the
light from the darkness.

226
00:14:35,359 --> 00:14:38,760
"And God called the light day,

227
00:14:40,426 --> 00:14:44,094
"and the darkness
he called night.

228
00:14:45,426 --> 00:14:50,160
"And the evening and the
morning were the first day.

229
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,426
"And God said, 'Let
there be a firmament

230
00:15:10,325 --> 00:15:13,026
"in the midst of the waters, '

231
00:15:18,759 --> 00:15:23,760
"and let it divide the
waters from the waters.

232
00:15:26,559 --> 00:15:30,390
"And God made the firmament,

233
00:15:30,392 --> 00:15:33,091
"and divided the waters

234
00:15:33,093 --> 00:15:35,761
"which were under the firmament

235
00:15:37,292 --> 00:15:41,593
"from the waters which
were above the firmament."

236
00:15:43,426 --> 00:15:45,059
"And it was so.

237
00:15:47,093 --> 00:15:50,427
"And God called the
firmament Heaven.

238
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,761
"And the evening and the
morning were the second day.

239
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:07,194
"And God said, 'Let the
waters under the heaven

240
00:16:08,292 --> 00:16:13,226
"be gathered together
unto one place,

241
00:16:16,627 --> 00:16:19,627
"and let the dry land appear.'

242
00:17:01,759 --> 00:17:03,127
"And it was so.

243
00:17:10,093 --> 00:17:13,060
"And God called
the dry land Earth,

244
00:17:33,092 --> 00:17:38,094
"and the gathering together
of the waters called he seas.

245
00:17:47,726 --> 00:17:50,327
"And God saw that it was good.

246
00:18:02,225 --> 00:18:06,227
"And God said, 'Let the
earth bring forth grass,

247
00:18:09,259 --> 00:18:14,260
"the herb yielding seed, and
the fruit tree yielding fruit

248
00:18:15,626 --> 00:18:20,226
"after his kind, whose seed
is in itself, upon the earth.'

249
00:18:27,758 --> 00:18:29,361
"And it was so.

250
00:18:36,492 --> 00:18:39,558
"And the earth
brought forth grass,

251
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,260
"and herb yielding
seed after his kind,

252
00:18:47,427 --> 00:18:52,461
"and the tree yielding fruit,
whose seed was in itself,

253
00:18:53,826 --> 00:18:55,160
"after his kind.

254
00:19:09,292 --> 00:19:11,693
"And God saw that it was good.

255
00:19:37,293 --> 00:19:42,294
"And the evening and the
morning were the third day."

256
00:19:57,292 --> 00:19:59,090
When we read the first
chapter of the Torah,

257
00:19:59,092 --> 00:20:01,623
we have to ask, what
kind of text is this?

258
00:20:01,625 --> 00:20:03,425
What type of literature is this?

259
00:20:03,427 --> 00:20:05,557
Is Genesis supposed
to be poetry?

260
00:20:05,559 --> 00:20:08,624
Is it supposed to
be an allegory?

261
00:20:08,626 --> 00:20:10,689
Don't forget that
Genesis is written

262
00:20:10,691 --> 00:20:15,491
in historical narrative Hebrew,
not in lyrical poetic form.

263
00:20:15,493 --> 00:20:18,490
It is written in
historical style,

264
00:20:18,492 --> 00:20:19,790
and it's meant to be taken...

265
00:20:19,792 --> 00:20:22,390
As straightforward,
literal history.

266
00:20:22,392 --> 00:20:26,157
The Bible clearly says that God
created in six literal days,

267
00:20:26,159 --> 00:20:29,091
just like our days,
about 6000 years ago.

268
00:20:29,093 --> 00:20:32,491
Jesus Christ himself
referred to Genesis

269
00:20:32,493 --> 00:20:33,823
on multiple occasions,

270
00:20:33,825 --> 00:20:36,624
each time referring to
Genesis as real history.

271
00:20:36,626 --> 00:20:39,556
There are some people who
approach the biblical text today

272
00:20:39,558 --> 00:20:41,091
and they view it
through the lens

273
00:20:41,093 --> 00:20:43,224
of modern scientific
interpretations.

274
00:20:43,226 --> 00:20:46,157
For example, they try to
insert millions of years

275
00:20:46,159 --> 00:20:48,223
in between the first
two verses of scripture.

276
00:20:48,225 --> 00:20:51,689
Now in order to add millions
of years in between verse one

277
00:20:51,691 --> 00:20:54,223
and verse two, you have
to deal with the grammar

278
00:20:54,225 --> 00:20:55,690
of the text.

279
00:20:55,692 --> 00:20:58,158
The Hebrew is very clear
in the syntax and grammar.

280
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,123
Now, people can say
they don't believe it,

281
00:21:00,125 --> 00:21:03,157
but no one can say that
the Hebrew word yom

282
00:21:03,159 --> 00:21:07,590
doesn't mean a 24-hour day
right there where it says a day,

283
00:21:07,592 --> 00:21:11,190
and then it says
day one, day two,

284
00:21:11,192 --> 00:21:13,824
and at the end, the fifth
day and the sixth day.

285
00:21:13,826 --> 00:21:15,723
Each of those days
was an ordinary,

286
00:21:15,725 --> 00:21:18,224
approximately 24-hour day.

287
00:21:18,226 --> 00:21:19,623
In fact, that is
why in Exodus 20:11

288
00:21:19,625 --> 00:21:21,689
God said he made
everything in six days

289
00:21:21,691 --> 00:21:24,490
and rested for one, as a
basis for the seven-day week.

290
00:21:24,492 --> 00:21:26,258
You see it actually
comes from the Bible.

291
00:21:26,260 --> 00:21:27,489
It doesn't come from
any other worldview.

292
00:21:27,491 --> 00:21:28,657
It doesn't come from
any other religion.

293
00:21:28,659 --> 00:21:30,490
It doesn't come from
astronomical science.

294
00:21:30,492 --> 00:21:33,090
We have this seven-day
cycle we call the week,

295
00:21:33,092 --> 00:21:36,690
and there is no
astronomical basis for this.

296
00:21:36,692 --> 00:21:40,323
It's something that is fairly
universal among cultures,

297
00:21:40,325 --> 00:21:43,690
but we find it's given to
us in the first few chapters

298
00:21:43,692 --> 00:21:45,090
of Genesis.

299
00:21:45,092 --> 00:21:46,091
You have the six
days of Creation.

300
00:21:46,093 --> 00:21:47,724
On the seventh day, God rested.

301
00:21:47,726 --> 00:21:49,291
God made everything
in six days.

302
00:21:49,293 --> 00:21:50,490
He rested for one.

303
00:21:50,492 --> 00:21:51,456
That is why we have
a seven-day week,

304
00:21:51,458 --> 00:21:52,624
that's where it comes from.

305
00:21:52,626 --> 00:21:54,357
We don't have seven
millions of years weeks,

306
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:55,757
or something like that!

307
00:21:55,759 --> 00:21:59,425
There is no way to
harmonize evolution

308
00:21:59,427 --> 00:22:01,757
and millions of
years with Genesis 1.

309
00:22:01,759 --> 00:22:04,423
If you try to make
that order of the events

310
00:22:04,425 --> 00:22:07,358
of the Creation Week match
with evolutionary principles,

311
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:08,523
it can't.

312
00:22:08,525 --> 00:22:10,157
If the days were really
bazillions of years,

313
00:22:10,159 --> 00:22:14,157
how could the plants go for
a million years with no sun?

314
00:22:14,159 --> 00:22:17,457
They might have lasted
overnight, like the Bible says,

315
00:22:17,459 --> 00:22:18,689
but not for a million years!

316
00:22:18,691 --> 00:22:20,557
The plants could
survive just fine

317
00:22:20,559 --> 00:22:22,557
for twelve hours
without sunlight.

318
00:22:22,559 --> 00:22:24,489
If Genesis 1 was
just written by Moses

319
00:22:24,491 --> 00:22:27,791
out of his own imagination,
he would never think

320
00:22:27,793 --> 00:22:31,490
to put things in the
order that they are in,

321
00:22:31,492 --> 00:22:34,258
completely contradictory
to the order

322
00:22:34,260 --> 00:22:36,291
in which the evolutionists
say things happened.

323
00:22:36,293 --> 00:22:38,823
They are in that order
because that's the order

324
00:22:38,825 --> 00:22:40,690
in which God actually created,

325
00:22:40,692 --> 00:22:43,357
knowing that people
would come along

326
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,291
and devise their
own creation myths

327
00:22:45,293 --> 00:22:48,090
and that one day there
would be evolutionists

328
00:22:48,092 --> 00:22:50,159
with their creation myth.

329
00:23:06,125 --> 00:23:08,490
In 1859,
Charles Darwin published

330
00:23:08,492 --> 00:23:11,624
On the Origin of Species by
Means of Natural Selection

331
00:23:11,626 --> 00:23:14,357
or the Preservation
of Favoured Races

332
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,424
in the Struggle for Life,

333
00:23:16,426 --> 00:23:19,157
a book that proposed
a new theory

334
00:23:19,159 --> 00:23:22,423
on how life came to
be on planet Earth.

335
00:23:22,425 --> 00:23:25,091
This theory would
contradict the Bible,

336
00:23:25,093 --> 00:23:28,058
which had been the
predominant, trusted source

337
00:23:28,060 --> 00:23:30,757
of ancient history in the
West up until that time.

338
00:23:30,759 --> 00:23:34,291
Darwin was strongly
influenced by Charles Lyell's

339
00:23:34,293 --> 00:23:35,689
The Principles of Geology.

340
00:23:35,691 --> 00:23:38,690
Lyell, also
influenced by others,

341
00:23:38,692 --> 00:23:40,489
reinterpreted geologic history

342
00:23:40,491 --> 00:23:44,158
through gradual processes
over millions of years,

343
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,090
a concept known as
uniformitarianism.

344
00:23:47,092 --> 00:23:50,390
This view was contrary
to catastrophism,

345
00:23:50,392 --> 00:23:53,823
which teaches that
Noah's flood can explain

346
00:23:53,825 --> 00:23:56,823
much of what we find
in the geologic record.

347
00:23:56,825 --> 00:23:59,356
Lyell's motivation was to quote,

348
00:23:59,358 --> 00:24:02,423
"free the science from
Moses," end quote.

349
00:24:02,425 --> 00:24:05,756
Their ideas would soon
transform the culture

350
00:24:05,758 --> 00:24:09,356
from one that largely trusted
in the biblical account

351
00:24:09,358 --> 00:24:12,556
of history and its
implications for cosmology,

352
00:24:12,558 --> 00:24:15,689
geology, and biology
to one that searched

353
00:24:15,691 --> 00:24:18,790
for alternative
explanations for everything.

354
00:24:18,792 --> 00:24:21,158
Did man evolve from animals?

355
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,157
Did the universe form itself
over billions of years?

356
00:24:25,159 --> 00:24:28,356
Did dinosaurs go extinct
millions of years

357
00:24:28,358 --> 00:24:30,623
before man was on the Earth?

358
00:24:30,625 --> 00:24:33,424
Was there really
a worldwide flood?

359
00:24:33,426 --> 00:24:36,191
These questions
would soon lead many

360
00:24:36,193 --> 00:24:38,757
to either make compromises
with the Bible,

361
00:24:38,759 --> 00:24:41,759
or deny it altogether.

362
00:24:44,391 --> 00:24:46,090
I've had people say, "Well
where did God come from?

363
00:24:46,092 --> 00:24:47,356
"Who created God?"

364
00:24:47,358 --> 00:24:49,091
On what page of
Shakespeare's book Hamlet

365
00:24:49,093 --> 00:24:50,489
do you find Shakespeare?

366
00:24:50,491 --> 00:24:52,623
Shakespeare is not
confined to his book.

367
00:24:52,625 --> 00:24:54,357
He's not in it,
he wrote the book.

368
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:55,490
He's not bound by his book,

369
00:24:55,492 --> 00:24:57,423
and God is not bound
by his creation.

370
00:24:57,425 --> 00:24:59,756
When you ask that question,
"Where did God come from?

371
00:24:59,758 --> 00:25:01,158
or "Who created God,"

372
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,058
You are assuming
that time is absolute

373
00:25:03,060 --> 00:25:05,090
and God showed up
on that timeline.

374
00:25:05,092 --> 00:25:06,289
That is not the
God of the Bible.

375
00:25:06,291 --> 00:25:07,590
The God of the Bible
is beyond all that.

376
00:25:07,592 --> 00:25:09,091
God started time.

377
00:25:09,093 --> 00:25:09,756
He wasn't created.

378
00:25:09,758 --> 00:25:11,357
He is not bound by time.

379
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,157
God is that absolute!

380
00:25:13,159 --> 00:25:14,557
Everyone knows,

381
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:17,356
"In the beginning God created
the heaven and the earth."

382
00:25:17,358 --> 00:25:18,356
Heaven is space.

383
00:25:18,358 --> 00:25:19,556
The earth is matter.

384
00:25:19,558 --> 00:25:22,090
And then he said,
"Let there be light."

385
00:25:22,092 --> 00:25:24,289
Most people know that
verse by heart too.

386
00:25:24,291 --> 00:25:25,824
That's energy.

387
00:25:25,826 --> 00:25:28,423
On the first day of the universe,
God creates space, time,

388
00:25:28,425 --> 00:25:32,290
matter, and energy, all the
components of the universe.

389
00:25:32,292 --> 00:25:35,690
And the only actual
matter in the universe

390
00:25:35,692 --> 00:25:39,424
is the earth at the time,
standing in and out of the water.

391
00:25:39,426 --> 00:25:42,290
Perhaps it was water that
the earth was made from

392
00:25:42,292 --> 00:25:44,490
and water was actually the
first substance that God

393
00:25:44,492 --> 00:25:45,624
actually made.

394
00:25:45,626 --> 00:25:48,091
And so, we have
matter, space, time,

395
00:25:48,093 --> 00:25:51,157
and energy being created on
the first day of the universe.

396
00:25:51,159 --> 00:25:54,690
The second day is when
God actually separates

397
00:25:54,692 --> 00:25:56,623
the waters above from
the waters below,

398
00:25:56,625 --> 00:25:58,489
and then the expanse is there.

399
00:25:58,491 --> 00:26:02,157
The third day, God then
brings forth the dry land.

400
00:26:02,159 --> 00:26:04,423
He raises up the land surface.

401
00:26:04,425 --> 00:26:06,457
So now you have the
first continent,

402
00:26:06,459 --> 00:26:07,756
probably only one continent

403
00:26:07,758 --> 00:26:09,322
because it says He gathered
the waters together.

404
00:26:09,324 --> 00:26:12,490
To one place, which suggests
that in the early Earth

405
00:26:12,492 --> 00:26:14,090
there was one land mass.

406
00:26:14,092 --> 00:26:16,158
Just one continent,
split up, we believe,

407
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,223
during the flood later on.

408
00:26:18,225 --> 00:26:20,456
It
wasn't until the 1960s

409
00:26:20,458 --> 00:26:23,557
that geologists began to widely
accept continental drift,

410
00:26:23,559 --> 00:26:28,560
a supposedly new idea that
proposed that the continents

411
00:26:29,691 --> 00:26:31,490
of Earth had broken up
at sometime in the past

412
00:26:31,492 --> 00:26:33,524
and had moved apart.

413
00:26:33,526 --> 00:26:37,357
You've probably heard the
name Rodinia or Pangaea,

414
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:42,360
supercontinents in which all
the continents as we know them

415
00:26:43,224 --> 00:26:44,390
were once connected together.

416
00:26:44,392 --> 00:26:47,623
This is a concept that the
Bible already revealed thousands

417
00:26:47,625 --> 00:26:49,223
of years earlier.

418
00:26:49,225 --> 00:26:52,156
In 1858, Antonio
Snider-Pellegrini

419
00:26:52,158 --> 00:26:55,623
proposed that the continents
had moved apart rapidly

420
00:26:55,625 --> 00:26:59,357
during Noah's flood, in
a catastrophic process.

421
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:04,091
Genesis 1:9 states that
God gathered together

422
00:27:04,093 --> 00:27:09,094
the waters into one place,
and made the dry land appear.

423
00:27:10,425 --> 00:27:12,690
What the Bible had stated
all along, that the lands

424
00:27:12,692 --> 00:27:15,556
were once connected
and then split apart,

425
00:27:15,558 --> 00:27:19,493
geologists started teaching
thousands of years later.

426
00:27:20,725 --> 00:27:23,157
Many people's
understanding of the flood

427
00:27:23,159 --> 00:27:27,090
is the understanding they
acquired when they were

428
00:27:27,092 --> 00:27:28,424
about four years old.

429
00:27:28,426 --> 00:27:31,156
The flood was an
incredible catastrophe

430
00:27:31,158 --> 00:27:35,389
almost beyond what the
human mind can comprehend.

431
00:27:35,391 --> 00:27:40,089
This is a catastrophic event
of unimaginable proportions.

432
00:27:40,091 --> 00:27:43,122
Sedimentation on a global
cataclysmic, catastrophic scale,

433
00:27:43,124 --> 00:27:45,689
burying billions of
creatures suddenly

434
00:27:45,691 --> 00:27:47,456
in unimaginable
amounts of sediment.

435
00:27:47,458 --> 00:27:49,089
Look at all the fossils.

436
00:27:49,091 --> 00:27:51,556
It's almost like the surface
of the Earth screams at us,

437
00:27:51,558 --> 00:27:53,823
"Hey, there was a
catastrophic event!"

438
00:27:53,825 --> 00:27:55,357
If something
like that happened,

439
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,490
what sort of evidence should
that have left behind?

440
00:27:58,492 --> 00:27:59,690
Billions of dead things,

441
00:27:59,692 --> 00:28:01,289
buried in rock layers
laid down by water,

442
00:28:01,291 --> 00:28:02,256
all over the Earth!

443
00:28:02,258 --> 00:28:03,623
Most of the fossil record

444
00:28:03,625 --> 00:28:04,756
is a result of the flood,

445
00:28:04,758 --> 00:28:06,823
not millions of years
of slow processes.

446
00:28:06,825 --> 00:28:09,289
The fossil record documents

447
00:28:09,291 --> 00:28:11,791
the reality of
the Genesis Flood.

448
00:28:11,793 --> 00:28:13,823
It was also a
tectonic-catastrophe,

449
00:28:13,825 --> 00:28:18,557
large-scale plate motion,
migration of the continents

450
00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:20,556
by thousands of miles.

451
00:28:20,558 --> 00:28:23,823
Which means that all
the Atlantic Ocean

452
00:28:23,825 --> 00:28:26,222
opened up during the flood,

453
00:28:26,224 --> 00:28:28,423
the Indian Ocean opened
up during the flood

454
00:28:28,425 --> 00:28:30,356
transforming the
Earth's surface.

455
00:28:30,358 --> 00:28:32,756
It is impossible to
walk away from the text

456
00:28:32,758 --> 00:28:35,089
thinking that this was some type

457
00:28:35,091 --> 00:28:37,123
of local Mesopotamian flood.

458
00:28:37,125 --> 00:28:40,824
This was a flood of
universal proportion

459
00:28:40,826 --> 00:28:44,156
in its destruction
of the Earth itself,

460
00:28:44,158 --> 00:28:45,690
its destruction of all mankind.

461
00:28:45,692 --> 00:28:48,556
The Bible tells
us of a worldwide Flood

462
00:28:48,558 --> 00:28:51,290
that radically
changed the climate

463
00:28:51,292 --> 00:28:53,624
and devastated the continents

464
00:28:53,626 --> 00:28:56,057
thousands of years
before scientists

465
00:28:56,059 --> 00:28:58,623
would even propose ice ages.

466
00:28:58,625 --> 00:29:01,489
The irony being that
these same scientists

467
00:29:01,491 --> 00:29:03,557
would confirm the possibility

468
00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:07,156
of great global floods
on planets like Mars,

469
00:29:07,158 --> 00:29:10,424
and yet still deny
that a global flood

470
00:29:10,426 --> 00:29:12,157
was possible on Earth.

471
00:29:12,159 --> 00:29:14,490
You see, the Bible
already stated

472
00:29:14,492 --> 00:29:16,490
there was a worldwide flood,

473
00:29:16,492 --> 00:29:19,356
and they don't want
to validate the Bible.

474
00:29:19,358 --> 00:29:24,222
They'll come up with any other
explanation but the truth.

475
00:29:24,224 --> 00:29:27,222
For 150 days, the waters
covered the mountains.

476
00:29:27,224 --> 00:29:29,290
They prevailed over the Earth.

477
00:29:29,292 --> 00:29:31,689
Five months of
torrential downpour rain,

478
00:29:31,691 --> 00:29:33,757
of the fountains
of the great deep

479
00:29:33,759 --> 00:29:35,423
being broken open
and gushing out water

480
00:29:35,425 --> 00:29:37,157
from beneath as well.

481
00:29:37,159 --> 00:29:38,623
The tehome rabbah,
the great deep,

482
00:29:38,625 --> 00:29:40,623
which immediately
takes the reader back

483
00:29:40,625 --> 00:29:43,222
to Genesis chapter
one, verse two,

484
00:29:43,224 --> 00:29:45,222
where we have a
water-covered Earth.

485
00:29:45,224 --> 00:29:48,090
Then on the third day,
God also makes the plants

486
00:29:48,092 --> 00:29:51,357
and the trees of the field
with the fruit in them,

487
00:29:51,359 --> 00:29:53,389
with seed already in them.

488
00:29:53,391 --> 00:29:55,123
Some people object
to that and say,

489
00:29:55,125 --> 00:29:57,489
"But wait a minute, the
plants were made on day three,

490
00:29:57,491 --> 00:29:59,424
"but the sun wasn't
made until day four.

491
00:29:59,426 --> 00:30:03,057
"How can you have plants
without light from the sun?"

492
00:30:03,059 --> 00:30:04,423
But you have light on day one.

493
00:30:04,425 --> 00:30:06,157
God said, "Let there be light."

494
00:30:06,159 --> 00:30:08,157
We are not told where
the light came from.

495
00:30:08,159 --> 00:30:10,290
Presumably, He had
a source for light.

496
00:30:10,292 --> 00:30:13,156
Light exists independent
of its source anyway,

497
00:30:13,158 --> 00:30:14,624
if you think about it.

498
00:30:14,626 --> 00:30:16,623
And the sun was made on day four

499
00:30:16,625 --> 00:30:19,557
to be the light-bearer
from that time onwards.

500
00:30:19,559 --> 00:30:20,756
It's interesting.

501
00:30:20,758 --> 00:30:22,389
In the Old Testament,
God warns the Israelites

502
00:30:22,391 --> 00:30:24,690
not to worship the sun
like the pagans do.

503
00:30:24,692 --> 00:30:26,423
And I believe one of the
reasons that God left the sun

504
00:30:26,425 --> 00:30:28,623
until day four was to show that

505
00:30:28,625 --> 00:30:32,690
he created the light and
that he sustains all of that.

506
00:30:32,692 --> 00:30:34,489
The sun is just his tool,

507
00:30:34,491 --> 00:30:36,223
so don't worship the sun.

508
00:30:36,225 --> 00:30:39,026
Worship God, who made the sun.

509
00:30:44,725 --> 00:30:48,225
"And God
said, 'Let there be lights

510
00:30:51,692 --> 00:30:54,293
"in the firmament of the heaven

511
00:30:57,625 --> 00:31:01,359
"to divide the day
from the night,

512
00:31:05,292 --> 00:31:08,193
"and let them be for signs,

513
00:31:15,225 --> 00:31:17,193
"and for seasons,

514
00:31:25,758 --> 00:31:27,493
"and for days,

515
00:31:30,559 --> 00:31:31,492
"and years.

516
00:31:43,459 --> 00:31:48,426
"And let them be for lights
in the firmament of the heaven

517
00:31:51,491 --> 00:31:55,226
"to give light upon the earth.'"

518
00:31:59,792 --> 00:32:01,092
"And it was so.

519
00:32:04,491 --> 00:32:08,292
"And God made two great lights,

520
00:32:23,292 --> 00:32:26,225
"the greater light
to rule the day,

521
00:32:38,791 --> 00:32:42,425
"and the lesser light
to rule the night.

522
00:33:39,092 --> 00:33:42,624
"He made the stars also.

523
00:34:01,059 --> 00:34:03,557
"And God set them
in the firmament

524
00:34:03,559 --> 00:34:07,293
"of the heaven to give
light upon the earth,

525
00:34:22,492 --> 00:34:26,357
"and to rule over the
day and over the night,

526
00:34:26,359 --> 00:34:30,426
"and to divide the
light from the darkness.

527
00:34:34,458 --> 00:34:38,691
"And God saw that it was good.

528
00:34:42,757 --> 00:34:46,559
"And the evening and the
morning were the fourth day."

529
00:34:51,292 --> 00:34:54,257
Astronomers typically
specialize in different fields.

530
00:34:54,259 --> 00:34:57,123
Some will study planets,
some will study galaxies,

531
00:34:57,125 --> 00:34:58,423
I happen to study stars.

532
00:34:58,425 --> 00:34:59,723
Physicists and astronomers

533
00:34:59,725 --> 00:35:01,590
have started asking
questions about this.

534
00:35:01,592 --> 00:35:04,223
They say, "Why does the
universe appear to be designed?"

535
00:35:04,225 --> 00:35:06,589
I read this book
many years ago called

536
00:35:06,591 --> 00:35:07,755
The Anthropic Principle.

537
00:35:07,757 --> 00:35:09,688
It's a tome of over
a thousand pages.

538
00:35:09,690 --> 00:35:11,057
They draw this interesting story

539
00:35:11,059 --> 00:35:13,822
that the world appears
to be designed.

540
00:35:13,824 --> 00:35:17,290
When I got done, they said it
just appears to be designed,

541
00:35:17,292 --> 00:35:18,822
there really is no design there.

542
00:35:18,824 --> 00:35:21,222
I'm thinking, well, you
look at the evidence

543
00:35:21,224 --> 00:35:23,090
and you deny that the
evidence is there.

544
00:35:23,092 --> 00:35:27,688
How can you not believe that
somebody designed all of this?

545
00:35:27,690 --> 00:35:29,256
The secular world says

546
00:35:29,258 --> 00:35:31,688
that the big bang occurred
14 billion years ago.

547
00:35:31,690 --> 00:35:34,222
Everything was
compacted into one spot.

548
00:35:34,224 --> 00:35:36,755
It expanded, then the
stars formed themselves,

549
00:35:36,757 --> 00:35:39,489
and then our sun formed, and
in the dust around the sun,

550
00:35:39,491 --> 00:35:40,459
the Earth formed.

551
00:35:41,358 --> 00:35:42,189
It was a hot molten blob,

552
00:35:42,191 --> 00:35:43,423
got covered by water,

553
00:35:43,425 --> 00:35:44,823
and then biological
evolution happened.

554
00:35:44,825 --> 00:35:47,490
But if that's the case, you
have any number of problems.

555
00:35:47,492 --> 00:35:49,357
According to evolution theory,

556
00:35:49,359 --> 00:35:51,556
or at least atheist
evolution theory,

557
00:35:51,558 --> 00:35:54,157
the big bang created everything,

558
00:35:54,159 --> 00:35:55,357
gas clouds went everywhere,

559
00:35:55,359 --> 00:35:58,156
and stars contracted from gas
clouds out of their gravity.

560
00:35:58,158 --> 00:36:00,524
Well, it's impossible for
gas clouds to contract

561
00:36:00,526 --> 00:36:03,256
out of their gravity because
as soon as you get a gas cloud

562
00:36:03,258 --> 00:36:06,456
that compressed,
it's gonna heat up.

563
00:36:06,458 --> 00:36:08,756
And hot gasses want to expand,

564
00:36:08,758 --> 00:36:11,457
and that expansion force
is a hundred times or more

565
00:36:11,459 --> 00:36:13,489
than the force of gravity.

566
00:36:13,491 --> 00:36:14,822
It could never happen.

567
00:36:14,824 --> 00:36:16,623
There are all these dog
ate my homework stories

568
00:36:16,625 --> 00:36:19,489
about how gravity
waves from black holes

569
00:36:19,491 --> 00:36:22,689
might do a push-pull
thing on gas clouds

570
00:36:22,691 --> 00:36:24,489
and make this actually happen.

571
00:36:24,491 --> 00:36:26,556
But you have a chicken
and the egg problem here,

572
00:36:26,558 --> 00:36:29,524
because don't black
holes come from stars?

573
00:36:29,526 --> 00:36:31,390
So you have to get stars
in the first place!

574
00:36:31,392 --> 00:36:33,489
There are many, many
questions in science

575
00:36:33,491 --> 00:36:35,489
that have not been answered.

576
00:36:35,491 --> 00:36:37,656
But there are many questions
that have been answered.

577
00:36:37,658 --> 00:36:41,157
So far, it is the problem
for the evolutionist

578
00:36:41,159 --> 00:36:43,222
of the questions that
have been answered,

579
00:36:43,224 --> 00:36:45,588
like the coalescence
of the stars,

580
00:36:45,590 --> 00:36:48,622
like violating the first
law of thermodynamics,

581
00:36:48,624 --> 00:36:50,823
that matter and energy cannot
be created or destroyed,

582
00:36:50,825 --> 00:36:54,623
the big bang insists that
happened at least once.

583
00:36:54,625 --> 00:36:57,489
Many people think the
universe popped into existence

584
00:36:57,491 --> 00:36:59,623
instantly in a big bang,
and it happened by itself!

585
00:36:59,625 --> 00:37:03,623
Somehow matter has
spontaneously come into existence

586
00:37:03,625 --> 00:37:05,556
without a prior cause.

587
00:37:05,558 --> 00:37:08,556
They have some problems
with the laws of nature.

588
00:37:08,558 --> 00:37:10,122
I was speaking to
the Vice President

589
00:37:10,124 --> 00:37:12,090
of the Darwin Coalition
once and I said,

590
00:37:12,092 --> 00:37:14,356
"You all believe in
spontaneous generation!"

591
00:37:14,358 --> 00:37:15,289
He said, "We do not!"

592
00:37:15,291 --> 00:37:16,688
I said, "Yes you do.

593
00:37:16,690 --> 00:37:18,290
"You believe it happened
at least once, don't you?"

594
00:37:18,292 --> 00:37:21,490
Why would a smart person
be so easily fogged

595
00:37:21,492 --> 00:37:24,290
and fooled by a dumb suggestion?

596
00:37:24,292 --> 00:37:27,056
That actually his
theory does violate

597
00:37:27,058 --> 00:37:30,090
the known discoveries
and laws of science.

598
00:37:30,092 --> 00:37:33,157
We have two very
important concepts

599
00:37:33,159 --> 00:37:35,689
in physics called the
first and second laws

600
00:37:35,691 --> 00:37:36,623
of thermodynamics.

601
00:37:36,625 --> 00:37:39,222
The first law says
that energy is neither

602
00:37:39,224 --> 00:37:40,689
created nor destroyed.

603
00:37:40,691 --> 00:37:43,755
And equally as valid
as the first law is...

604
00:37:43,757 --> 00:37:46,057
The second law
of thermodynamics,

605
00:37:46,059 --> 00:37:48,755
which sayst hings are
currently running down,

606
00:37:48,757 --> 00:37:50,457
energy is becoming less useful.

607
00:37:50,459 --> 00:37:53,555
The useful amount of
energy is always decreasing,

608
00:37:53,557 --> 00:37:55,622
and we measure this with
a thing called entropy.

609
00:37:55,624 --> 00:37:57,823
The entropy is
always increasing.

610
00:37:57,825 --> 00:38:01,222
It's almost as if the world
was wound-up like a clock,

611
00:38:01,224 --> 00:38:02,424
and it's been unwinding.

612
00:38:02,426 --> 00:38:03,357
The second law would
seem to argue...

613
00:38:03,359 --> 00:38:06,222
That the universe
has not always existed,

614
00:38:06,224 --> 00:38:08,256
the material universe
has not always existed.

615
00:38:08,258 --> 00:38:11,522
But the first law says you
could not have a beginning.

616
00:38:11,524 --> 00:38:12,556
So, we have this contradiction.

617
00:38:12,558 --> 00:38:13,790
We have this tension.

618
00:38:13,792 --> 00:38:15,689
Both laws are equally true.

619
00:38:15,691 --> 00:38:19,189
And yet both laws, if
extrapolated into the past,

620
00:38:19,191 --> 00:38:21,356
contradict each other.

621
00:38:21,358 --> 00:38:24,689
Physically, the universe
has no natural explanation,

622
00:38:24,691 --> 00:38:26,423
it doesn't have a
physical explanation.

623
00:38:26,425 --> 00:38:28,556
The other thing they've done
in our educational system,

624
00:38:28,558 --> 00:38:30,755
they said that science
can only explain things

625
00:38:30,757 --> 00:38:32,423
by natural processes.

626
00:38:32,425 --> 00:38:34,556
They have even changed the
definition of science from

627
00:38:34,558 --> 00:38:37,289
the study of the natural
world using the five senses

628
00:38:37,291 --> 00:38:40,689
to be the search for
natural explanations.

629
00:38:40,691 --> 00:38:42,289
But who decided that?

630
00:38:42,291 --> 00:38:43,623
That's an arbitrary definition.

631
00:38:43,625 --> 00:38:46,790
That specifically
excludes any possibility

632
00:38:46,792 --> 00:38:48,822
of God being involved.

633
00:38:48,824 --> 00:38:51,123
God has not only
been kicked out,

634
00:38:51,125 --> 00:38:53,222
but he is treated
as most unwelcome.

635
00:38:53,224 --> 00:38:55,756
They have totally changed
the methodology of science.

636
00:38:55,758 --> 00:38:58,588
We need to bring
the worlds of science

637
00:38:58,590 --> 00:39:02,322
and the Bible together
for people so they see

638
00:39:02,324 --> 00:39:04,057
they mesh.

639
00:39:04,059 --> 00:39:06,755
It's the unbelievers that
have a problem, not us.

640
00:39:06,757 --> 00:39:09,823
From a secular perspective,
they can only get light

641
00:39:09,825 --> 00:39:11,422
about halfway
across the universe.

642
00:39:11,424 --> 00:39:13,157
That's why they have
inflation theories

643
00:39:13,159 --> 00:39:15,157
and super-inflation
theories and so on,

644
00:39:15,159 --> 00:39:16,357
because they have a problem.

645
00:39:16,359 --> 00:39:17,755
They have a light
time-travel problem.

646
00:39:17,757 --> 00:39:20,555
The problem is actually
worse that we sometimes think.

647
00:39:20,557 --> 00:39:23,089
Alpha Centauri is more
than four light years away.

648
00:39:23,091 --> 00:39:25,622
God had to get that light
here not in four years,

649
00:39:25,624 --> 00:39:28,456
but actually at the
end of day four.

650
00:39:28,458 --> 00:39:30,323
We used to call that
the starlight problem.

651
00:39:30,325 --> 00:39:33,589
The nearest galaxy
to us is two million,

652
00:39:33,591 --> 00:39:35,489
one and a half million
light years away,

653
00:39:35,491 --> 00:39:37,323
wouldn't it take at least
one and a half million years

654
00:39:37,325 --> 00:39:38,488
for that light to get here?

655
00:39:38,490 --> 00:39:41,089
And yes, in straight
space, it would.

656
00:39:41,091 --> 00:39:43,290
But even the big bang
theorists will say

657
00:39:43,292 --> 00:39:46,356
that space and
dimension unfolded.

658
00:39:46,358 --> 00:39:50,089
Some people want to take
mentions in the Old Testament

659
00:39:50,091 --> 00:39:52,156
of God stretching out
the heavens like a tent

660
00:39:52,158 --> 00:39:56,622
or a canopy, stretching that
light miraculously to get here.

661
00:39:56,624 --> 00:39:58,356
"He stretches out the heavens

662
00:39:58,358 --> 00:40:00,090
as a tent upon a
pole to dwell in.

663
00:40:00,092 --> 00:40:01,822
"He stretches out the
heavens as a curtain.

664
00:40:01,824 --> 00:40:04,157
"He then arched the heavens".

665
00:40:04,159 --> 00:40:05,290
"He then bowed the heavens".

666
00:40:05,292 --> 00:40:06,456
"He stretched out the heavens
across the North place".

667
00:40:06,458 --> 00:40:08,089
All these verses and many more

668
00:40:08,091 --> 00:40:10,423
indicate that the way that
God did it was stretching.

669
00:40:10,425 --> 00:40:12,323
The
telescope has been around

670
00:40:12,325 --> 00:40:15,656
for hundreds of years and has
played an instrumental role

671
00:40:15,658 --> 00:40:18,522
in many of our greatest
discoveries about the universe.

672
00:40:18,524 --> 00:40:22,157
Telescopes much larger
and more advanced

673
00:40:22,159 --> 00:40:24,489
than these were used
in the early 1900s

674
00:40:24,491 --> 00:40:27,555
to measure what became
known as red shift,

675
00:40:27,557 --> 00:40:32,290
a form of measurement which
provided empirical evidence

676
00:40:32,292 --> 00:40:34,423
that space was stretching.

677
00:40:34,425 --> 00:40:37,688
This meant that
space-time itself

678
00:40:37,690 --> 00:40:42,189
could actually be manipulated
as if it were fabric.

679
00:40:42,191 --> 00:40:45,555
This understanding would
begin to bring answers

680
00:40:45,557 --> 00:40:48,623
to some of the biggest
mysteries of the universe.

681
00:40:48,625 --> 00:40:52,156
But this concept was
just a recognition

682
00:40:52,158 --> 00:40:54,388
of what the Bible
already revealed.

683
00:40:54,390 --> 00:40:57,789
In the books of
both Isaiah and Job,

684
00:40:57,791 --> 00:41:02,422
God said he stretched out
the heavens like a curtain,

685
00:41:02,424 --> 00:41:06,156
and that he created the
heavens and stretched them out.

686
00:41:06,158 --> 00:41:08,456
These verses gave
us further insight

687
00:41:08,458 --> 00:41:10,689
to the dimensionality of space

688
00:41:10,691 --> 00:41:13,589
and showed us that the
universe has been stretched

689
00:41:13,591 --> 00:41:15,288
since the beginning of Creation.

690
00:41:15,290 --> 00:41:17,556
The implications of
this biblical concept

691
00:41:17,558 --> 00:41:20,455
have been better
understood in modern times.

692
00:41:20,457 --> 00:41:24,122
What's equally extraordinary
is that the Bible

693
00:41:24,124 --> 00:41:26,156
also revealed that
the Earth is round

694
00:41:26,158 --> 00:41:29,656
and that it floats in
space, hanging upon nothing.

695
00:41:29,658 --> 00:41:33,089
Amazing insights
proclaimed at a time

696
00:41:33,091 --> 00:41:37,089
when some ancient cultures
believed the Earth is flat.

697
00:41:37,091 --> 00:41:41,056
The Bible has always
been, and shall ever be,

698
00:41:41,058 --> 00:41:44,822
validated by real science.

699
00:41:44,824 --> 00:41:47,222
Edwin Hubble is
credited with perhaps

700
00:41:47,224 --> 00:41:49,057
the greatest
discovery, maybe one of

701
00:41:49,059 --> 00:41:50,756
the greatest
discoveries of astronomy

702
00:41:50,758 --> 00:41:52,356
in the 20th century.

703
00:41:52,358 --> 00:41:54,423
The idea of what we call the
expansion of the universe.

704
00:41:54,425 --> 00:41:56,756
And if it's expanding,
then you would expect more

705
00:41:56,758 --> 00:41:59,289
distant objects to appear to
be moving farther away from us.

706
00:41:59,291 --> 00:42:01,223
As the universe gets larger,

707
00:42:01,225 --> 00:42:03,289
there should be a
relationship between distance

708
00:42:03,291 --> 00:42:05,622
and that apparent
motion between us.

709
00:42:05,624 --> 00:42:08,555
And we measure that
motion by the red shifts.

710
00:42:08,557 --> 00:42:10,655
Now according to
Albert Einstein,

711
00:42:10,657 --> 00:42:14,321
if you actually stretch
the fabric of space,

712
00:42:14,323 --> 00:42:17,488
you will also essentially
and necessarily

713
00:42:17,490 --> 00:42:19,689
have to stretch
the fabric of time.

714
00:42:19,691 --> 00:42:22,355
So, Andromeda is not
just two million,

715
00:42:22,357 --> 00:42:25,321
one and a half
million light years

716
00:42:25,323 --> 00:42:27,623
in spatial displacement
over that way,

717
00:42:27,625 --> 00:42:30,156
but also, it's also
time-stretched.

718
00:42:30,158 --> 00:42:32,689
Yes, we're looking at
the galaxy of Andromeda

719
00:42:32,691 --> 00:42:35,755
as it looked at a previous time.

720
00:42:35,757 --> 00:42:38,090
But we are also
looking at a galaxy

721
00:42:38,092 --> 00:42:40,523
that has experienced
more time than we have

722
00:42:40,525 --> 00:42:44,156
if we are anywhere closer to
the center of the stretching.

723
00:42:44,158 --> 00:42:47,157
William Tifft, who back
about forty years ago

724
00:42:47,159 --> 00:42:49,688
discovered something
interesting in the red shifts

725
00:42:49,690 --> 00:42:51,156
of galaxies.

726
00:42:51,158 --> 00:42:54,422
The universe consists
of concentric shells

727
00:42:54,424 --> 00:42:59,321
of galaxies, and we are
near the center of that.

728
00:42:59,323 --> 00:43:02,289
If we are placed there
by God for some reason,

729
00:43:02,291 --> 00:43:03,689
that's what you might expect.

730
00:43:03,691 --> 00:43:05,556
Astronomers have more
or less ignored Tifft's

731
00:43:05,558 --> 00:43:07,255
work over the years
and yet, actually,

732
00:43:07,257 --> 00:43:08,522
it's staring them in the face.

733
00:43:08,524 --> 00:43:11,155
In astronomy, as in
any other science,

734
00:43:11,157 --> 00:43:12,488
I think there are evidences

735
00:43:12,490 --> 00:43:15,089
that the world is far younger
than many people think.

736
00:43:15,091 --> 00:43:16,388
Spiral galaxies would
be a good example.

737
00:43:16,390 --> 00:43:19,189
They actually spin more
rapidly at the center,

738
00:43:19,191 --> 00:43:21,056
and more slowly
out at the edges.

739
00:43:21,058 --> 00:43:23,589
Obviously if this thing
spins around several times,

740
00:43:23,591 --> 00:43:26,321
it starts smearing
out the spiral arms.

741
00:43:26,323 --> 00:43:29,422
And as that happens,
you would spin it out

742
00:43:29,424 --> 00:43:31,456
to the point, you would end up
with just an amorphous disk.

743
00:43:31,458 --> 00:43:33,488
They think these
galaxies are at least

744
00:43:33,490 --> 00:43:35,655
ten billion years
old, so these things

745
00:43:35,657 --> 00:43:37,689
would be entirely smeared out.

746
00:43:37,691 --> 00:43:39,756
But in six thousand years, not
much smearing taking place.

747
00:43:39,758 --> 00:43:41,689
In billions of years,
it's a problem,

748
00:43:41,691 --> 00:43:43,522
in thousands of
years, not a problem.

749
00:43:43,524 --> 00:43:46,222
Comets really do have
something to say about the age

750
00:43:46,224 --> 00:43:48,156
of the solar system.

751
00:43:48,158 --> 00:43:50,156
We can divide comets
into two groups.

752
00:43:50,158 --> 00:43:52,221
We call the short-period
comets and long period comets.

753
00:43:52,223 --> 00:43:54,822
For short period comets,
a couple hundred years,

754
00:43:54,824 --> 00:43:56,090
they're all gone.

755
00:43:56,092 --> 00:43:57,289
There shouldn't be any left.

756
00:43:57,291 --> 00:43:58,822
Long period comets,
tens of millions

757
00:43:58,824 --> 00:44:01,156
or maybe a hundred
million years,

758
00:44:01,158 --> 00:44:02,488
but they're all gone again.

759
00:44:02,490 --> 00:44:04,289
So for a billions of
years solar system,

760
00:44:04,291 --> 00:44:07,422
you have a problem, thousands
of years, not a problem.

761
00:44:07,424 --> 00:44:10,156
We understand that the sun
is powered by nuclear fusion

762
00:44:10,158 --> 00:44:12,090
and that could power the
sun for billions of years.

763
00:44:12,092 --> 00:44:14,489
As it produces energy like
that, it changes its composition

764
00:44:14,491 --> 00:44:17,356
inside and over time it
should slowly brighten.

765
00:44:17,358 --> 00:44:19,823
And as it does, the
Earth would get warmer.

766
00:44:19,825 --> 00:44:22,289
Now again, over thousands
of years, not a problem.

767
00:44:22,291 --> 00:44:24,122
But if go back a couple billion,
three billion years or so

768
00:44:24,124 --> 00:44:26,823
when life first supposedly
developed on the planet,

769
00:44:26,825 --> 00:44:29,356
you have a problem
because the Earth

770
00:44:29,358 --> 00:44:30,589
would have been far colder.

771
00:44:30,591 --> 00:44:34,589
It would have been frozen, and
nobody thinks that happened.

772
00:44:34,591 --> 00:44:36,155
In billions of years,
it's a problem,

773
00:44:36,157 --> 00:44:38,088
thousands of years,
not a problem.

774
00:44:38,090 --> 00:44:40,588
In fact, other
planets in our solar system

775
00:44:40,590 --> 00:44:42,488
testify to a young
universe as well.

776
00:44:42,490 --> 00:44:46,156
Both the density and
magnetic field of Mercury

777
00:44:46,158 --> 00:44:48,555
cannot allow for
millions of years.

778
00:44:48,557 --> 00:44:52,288
In 1984, Russell Humphreys
correctly calculated

779
00:44:52,290 --> 00:44:55,122
the magnetic fields
of Uranus and Neptune

780
00:44:55,124 --> 00:44:58,155
several years before
the Voyager 2 satellite

781
00:44:58,157 --> 00:44:59,158
would measure them.

782
00:45:00,124 --> 00:45:02,689
Humphreys used a vital
clue from the Bible,

783
00:45:02,691 --> 00:45:05,588
that the universe was
made only 6,000 years ago.

784
00:45:05,590 --> 00:45:07,688
And when the surface
of Venus was mapped

785
00:45:07,690 --> 00:45:11,456
in the mid-nineties,
volcanoes, craters, mountains,

786
00:45:11,458 --> 00:45:14,221
and other features showed
the history of the planet

787
00:45:14,223 --> 00:45:16,088
was young.

788
00:45:16,090 --> 00:45:19,489
Neptune is too hot to be old.

789
00:45:19,491 --> 00:45:23,255
Pluto still has nitrogen
in its atmosphere.

790
00:45:23,257 --> 00:45:26,790
The rings of Saturn and
Neptune aren't uniform,

791
00:45:26,792 --> 00:45:30,288
as they would be after
millions of years.

792
00:45:30,290 --> 00:45:32,688
So, do we trust in
the timeline of men,

793
00:45:32,690 --> 00:45:36,623
who are repeatedly wrong and
having to change their beliefs?

794
00:45:36,625 --> 00:45:39,355
Or do we trust in the Bible,

795
00:45:39,357 --> 00:45:43,625
which has never been proven
wrong and does not change.

796
00:45:47,490 --> 00:45:52,525
"And God said, 'Let the
waters bring forth abundantly

797
00:45:58,557 --> 00:46:03,424
"the moving creature
that hath life,

798
00:46:16,157 --> 00:46:21,158
"and fowl that may
fly above the earth

799
00:46:23,357 --> 00:46:26,157
in the open firmament
of heaven.'"

800
00:46:29,124 --> 00:46:32,258
"And God created great whales,

801
00:46:42,490 --> 00:46:46,291
"and every living
creature that moveth,

802
00:46:50,458 --> 00:46:54,192
"which the waters
brought forth abundantly,

803
00:46:56,391 --> 00:46:57,992
"after their kind,

804
00:47:16,691 --> 00:47:21,692
"and every winged
fowl after his kind.

805
00:47:31,424 --> 00:47:34,025
"And God saw that it was good.

806
00:47:37,491 --> 00:47:40,091
"And God blessed them, saying,

807
00:47:41,291 --> 00:47:43,559
"'Be fruitful, and multiply,

808
00:47:49,758 --> 00:47:52,559
"and fill the
waters in the seas,

809
00:48:01,090 --> 00:48:04,158
"and let fowl multiply
in the earth.'

810
00:48:34,557 --> 00:48:39,558
"And the evening and the
morning were the fifth day.

811
00:48:50,123 --> 00:48:51,623
A lot of people will say,

812
00:48:51,625 --> 00:48:53,556
"It just seems so hard
to believe the Bible

813
00:48:53,558 --> 00:48:55,288
"because of all those
miracles and everything."

814
00:48:55,290 --> 00:48:56,723
Well, the big bang is a miracle.

815
00:48:56,725 --> 00:48:59,088
evolution of life would
have to be a miracle.

816
00:48:59,090 --> 00:49:00,288
And the changing of that life

817
00:49:00,290 --> 00:49:03,555
into all the origin of the
species all require violations

818
00:49:03,557 --> 00:49:05,089
of the laws of science.

819
00:49:05,091 --> 00:49:06,489
To believe that there is no God,

820
00:49:06,491 --> 00:49:08,688
you will have to
believe in miracles

821
00:49:08,690 --> 00:49:10,155
without a miracle maker!

822
00:49:10,157 --> 00:49:11,755
To believe that
evolution is true,

823
00:49:11,757 --> 00:49:13,790
you're gonna have to
violate some of the main,

824
00:49:13,792 --> 00:49:16,555
most important principles
and laws of science

825
00:49:16,557 --> 00:49:18,489
that have been agreed upon.

826
00:49:18,491 --> 00:49:20,756
Not only does the atheist
evolutionary worldview

827
00:49:20,758 --> 00:49:22,121
violate the first law
of thermodynamics,

828
00:49:22,123 --> 00:49:23,788
so that's against a
principle of science,

829
00:49:23,790 --> 00:49:25,756
but Louis Pasteur proved that

830
00:49:25,758 --> 00:49:27,689
spontaneous
generation isn't true.

831
00:49:27,691 --> 00:49:29,489
But all evolutionists,
every evolutionist

832
00:49:29,491 --> 00:49:32,088
believes in spontaneous
generation of life!

833
00:49:32,090 --> 00:49:33,489
This whole
evolutionary concept

834
00:49:33,491 --> 00:49:35,489
that life came from non-life.

835
00:49:35,491 --> 00:49:37,489
It actually violates
a law of science.

836
00:49:37,491 --> 00:49:39,821
It is one of the
only laws in biology,

837
00:49:39,823 --> 00:49:41,622
it's called the
law of biogenesis

838
00:49:41,624 --> 00:49:43,822
and it states that life comes
from life, not non-life.

839
00:49:43,824 --> 00:49:47,689
The law of biogenesis
that says that all life

840
00:49:47,691 --> 00:49:49,355
comes from pre-existing life.

841
00:49:49,357 --> 00:49:53,155
And yet evolution says that
life can come from non-life.

842
00:49:53,157 --> 00:49:54,256
Surprise!

843
00:49:54,258 --> 00:49:55,655
If you just wait long enough.

844
00:49:55,657 --> 00:49:57,623
But we see no
examples of that today.

845
00:49:57,625 --> 00:49:59,356
We can't observe it,
we can't repeat it,

846
00:49:59,358 --> 00:50:01,055
people just believe it blindly.

847
00:50:01,057 --> 00:50:03,089
Anytime they have
done these sort of

848
00:50:03,091 --> 00:50:04,489
origin of life experiments,

849
00:50:04,491 --> 00:50:08,055
6where they're trying to
take a soup, so to speak,

850
00:50:08,057 --> 00:50:09,455
of all these
different molecules,

851
00:50:09,457 --> 00:50:11,089
add a little bit of lightning...

852
00:50:11,091 --> 00:50:14,423
Cook everything together,
add a spark, and out comes...

853
00:50:14,425 --> 00:50:15,289
Tar.

854
00:50:15,291 --> 00:50:17,155
They end up with gunk.

855
00:50:17,157 --> 00:50:19,423
They have to do a lot of
tweaking to end up with...

856
00:50:19,425 --> 00:50:20,489
Amino acids.

857
00:50:20,491 --> 00:50:23,089
That's impressive, oooh.

858
00:50:23,091 --> 00:50:25,156
It's not even
meaningful information

859
00:50:25,158 --> 00:50:27,489
as far as DNA is concerned.

860
00:50:27,491 --> 00:50:29,754
Every evolutionary
story starts with

861
00:50:29,756 --> 00:50:31,754
the Miller-Urey experiment.

862
00:50:31,756 --> 00:50:33,355
The best yields that
they've ever gotten

863
00:50:33,357 --> 00:50:37,689
was 80% L-amino acids
and 20% D-amino acids.

864
00:50:37,691 --> 00:50:40,156
That means that every
fifth amino acid

865
00:50:40,158 --> 00:50:43,755
in a protein series would be
lethal to all forms of life

866
00:50:43,757 --> 00:50:45,355
on our planet!

867
00:50:45,357 --> 00:50:47,188
The evolutionists try to
get away from this problem

868
00:50:47,190 --> 00:50:48,588
of chirality.

869
00:50:48,590 --> 00:50:53,155
The odds for 250 parts
coming together is two times

870
00:50:53,157 --> 00:50:56,156
10 raised to the 476th power.

871
00:50:56,158 --> 00:51:01,091
That's going to be a two with
476 zeros following after it.

872
00:51:02,525 --> 00:51:07,559
That's the odds for the first
cell to come into existence!

873
00:51:09,223 --> 00:51:11,088
The best they've
been able to do

874
00:51:11,090 --> 00:51:13,721
is the idea that the amino
acids assembled themselves

875
00:51:13,723 --> 00:51:17,721
on the backs of floating
crystals in the ocean.

876
00:51:17,723 --> 00:51:19,822
Their schemes and the
things they have tried

877
00:51:19,824 --> 00:51:22,088
to imagine just don't work.

878
00:51:22,090 --> 00:51:25,288
If you take the cell
and you poke a hole in it,

879
00:51:25,290 --> 00:51:30,291
you have all the components
for the cell, and yet no life.

880
00:51:31,424 --> 00:51:33,088
They will say, "That's
an origin of life issue

881
00:51:33,090 --> 00:51:34,789
"and I'm not gonna
deal with that."

882
00:51:34,791 --> 00:51:36,789
But you have to deal with
it, because there is no point

883
00:51:36,791 --> 00:51:38,389
in dealing with any
of these other things

884
00:51:38,391 --> 00:51:41,488
if you cannot even get an
organism in the first place.

885
00:51:41,490 --> 00:51:43,089
The problems are exponential.

886
00:51:43,091 --> 00:51:45,355
People in the field
actually know this,

887
00:51:45,357 --> 00:51:47,821
but go along with it
anyway because, well,

888
00:51:47,823 --> 00:51:50,622
after all, the other
disciplines of science

889
00:51:50,624 --> 00:51:52,489
are where the real proof is.

890
00:51:52,491 --> 00:51:55,222
So, the geologists think
that the real proof

891
00:51:55,224 --> 00:51:56,687
is with the paleontologists.

892
00:51:56,689 --> 00:51:59,488
The fossil-studiers think the
geophysicists have the proof.

893
00:51:59,490 --> 00:52:02,121
The geophysicists think
it's the astrophysicists

894
00:52:02,123 --> 00:52:03,089
that have the proof.

895
00:52:03,091 --> 00:52:04,488
Everyone gets to the airport

896
00:52:04,490 --> 00:52:06,356
and thinks that somebody
else brought the tickets!

897
00:52:06,358 --> 00:52:08,555
They would never do this in
any other area of their lives.

898
00:52:08,557 --> 00:52:11,556
They are denying the obvious

899
00:52:11,558 --> 00:52:14,754
because of their starting
point that there is no God.

900
00:52:14,756 --> 00:52:17,555
A lot of people are
enticed by this idea

901
00:52:17,557 --> 00:52:20,088
because it takes God
out of the picture.

902
00:52:20,090 --> 00:52:23,422
Here's another way in which
young people are being conned.

903
00:52:23,424 --> 00:52:25,422
When they read their textbooks

904
00:52:25,424 --> 00:52:28,222
and it's talking about
changes in finches' beaks

905
00:52:28,224 --> 00:52:31,255
or changes you see in dogs,
the word evolution is used.

906
00:52:31,257 --> 00:52:33,389
But then the word
evolution is also used

907
00:52:33,391 --> 00:52:37,156
for molecules to man, so
it's a bait and switch.

908
00:52:37,158 --> 00:52:38,622
Just like all the
other sequences,

909
00:52:38,624 --> 00:52:41,288
like chimps gradually
turning into humans,

910
00:52:41,290 --> 00:52:44,155
and this little Bambi-looking
thing turning into horses,

911
00:52:44,157 --> 00:52:46,222
those kinds of things
that have been used

912
00:52:46,224 --> 00:52:49,687
for evolution really don't
belong in the textbooks.

913
00:52:49,689 --> 00:52:53,755
Alan Feduccia, the head of
Biology at UNC-Chapel Hill,

914
00:52:53,757 --> 00:52:57,621
says that it will be the
paleontological embarrassment

915
00:52:57,623 --> 00:53:00,289
of the 20th century,
the idea that birds

916
00:53:00,291 --> 00:53:01,688
evolved from dinosaurs.

917
00:53:01,690 --> 00:53:03,556
They are not a related
lineage at all.

918
00:53:03,558 --> 00:53:05,821
I get the question of
dinosaurs all the time.

919
00:53:05,823 --> 00:53:07,556
Consider dragons.

920
00:53:07,558 --> 00:53:10,089
We see dragon legends in
cultures all over the world.

921
00:53:10,091 --> 00:53:12,555
We find petroglyphs, cave
drawings and etchings,

922
00:53:12,557 --> 00:53:15,156
and many of these
are images of dragons

923
00:53:15,158 --> 00:53:17,423
and creatures that we
would call dinosaurs today.

924
00:53:17,425 --> 00:53:20,423
The word dinosaur
didn't exist until 1841.

925
00:53:20,425 --> 00:53:24,155
So before 1841, very
often the word dragon

926
00:53:24,157 --> 00:53:26,055
would have been used.

927
00:53:26,057 --> 00:53:27,754
Dragon is more of
an overarching term.

928
00:53:27,756 --> 00:53:30,288
It would include flying
reptiles and sea reptiles,

929
00:53:30,290 --> 00:53:31,822
as well as things
like dinosaurs.

930
00:53:31,824 --> 00:53:34,088
Now when it comes to
evidence of dinosaurs

931
00:53:34,090 --> 00:53:36,222
and man living at the same time,

932
00:53:36,224 --> 00:53:38,222
believe it or not we
have an immense amount.

933
00:53:38,224 --> 00:53:39,755
When we look at ancient histories
from various cultures...

934
00:53:39,757 --> 00:53:41,754
We get very
detailed descriptions,

935
00:53:41,756 --> 00:53:44,621
those are creatures that
today, in our modern world,

936
00:53:44,623 --> 00:53:46,156
we would call dinosaurs.

937
00:53:46,158 --> 00:53:49,122
In Genesis,
we're told that on day six,

938
00:53:49,124 --> 00:53:51,222
God created the
beasts of the earth

939
00:53:51,224 --> 00:53:54,721
and everything that
creepeth upon the earth.

940
00:53:54,723 --> 00:53:58,289
This would of course
include dinosaurs.

941
00:53:58,291 --> 00:54:02,356
In the past, dinosaurs were
simply known as dragons.

942
00:54:02,358 --> 00:54:05,056
Even as late as the early 1900s,

943
00:54:05,058 --> 00:54:09,055
dictionaries described
dragons as now rare

944
00:54:09,057 --> 00:54:11,088
and a huge serpent.

945
00:54:11,090 --> 00:54:14,288
Not only do we find
dinosaurs in cave drawings,

946
00:54:14,290 --> 00:54:17,422
carvings of figurines, and
even in cultural legends

947
00:54:17,424 --> 00:54:19,754
from the not-too-distant past,

948
00:54:19,756 --> 00:54:23,422
but the Bible speaks
descriptively of creatures

949
00:54:23,424 --> 00:54:25,622
that sound like dinosaurs.

950
00:54:25,624 --> 00:54:30,624
In the book of Job, God tells
Job to behold the behemoth,

951
00:54:31,489 --> 00:54:33,487
a creature Job would have known.

952
00:54:33,489 --> 00:54:36,821
In fact, God
specifically says that

953
00:54:36,823 --> 00:54:40,554
he made the behemoth
along with mankind,

954
00:54:40,556 --> 00:54:43,155
and describes it
as having a tail

955
00:54:43,157 --> 00:54:48,158
that sways like a cedar tree,
and bones as strong as iron.

956
00:54:49,524 --> 00:54:52,522
He's so big that a raging
river is nothing to him.

957
00:54:52,524 --> 00:54:54,788
The description of
this massive creature

958
00:54:54,790 --> 00:54:57,622
fits the huge sauropod dinosaurs

959
00:54:57,624 --> 00:54:59,722
we know from the fossil record.

960
00:54:59,724 --> 00:55:02,189
The Bible describes
in great detail

961
00:55:02,191 --> 00:55:05,222
a creature that sounds
just like a dinosaur,

962
00:55:05,224 --> 00:55:08,188
thousands of years
before paleontologists

963
00:55:08,190 --> 00:55:12,157
would rediscover
and rename them.

964
00:55:13,489 --> 00:55:16,088
My daughter, came back
from her kindergarten class,

965
00:55:16,090 --> 00:55:17,622
when she was younger,
she brought home a book

966
00:55:17,624 --> 00:55:20,822
that said that dinosaurs
lived 100 million years ago.

967
00:55:20,824 --> 00:55:23,289
That is just an assertion,
they are just saying it.

968
00:55:23,291 --> 00:55:25,289
They didn't observe this,
you can't repeat this.

969
00:55:25,291 --> 00:55:27,654
It is man-fallible,
imperfect men,

970
00:55:27,656 --> 00:55:29,822
who separate man from dinosaurs

971
00:55:29,824 --> 00:55:31,122
by somewhere in the
neighborhood of about

972
00:55:31,124 --> 00:55:32,356
65 million years now.

973
00:55:32,358 --> 00:55:34,155
You either start with
what God has to say

974
00:55:34,157 --> 00:55:35,421
or with what man has to say.

975
00:55:35,423 --> 00:55:37,156
God, who has always been there,

976
00:55:37,158 --> 00:55:39,754
he is perfect and infallible
and he's the one who says...

977
00:55:39,756 --> 00:55:42,288
That people and dinosaurs
walked the Earth together.

978
00:55:42,290 --> 00:55:44,421
And a lot of people
kind of scoff at that,

979
00:55:44,423 --> 00:55:45,356
but if you look back in history,

980
00:55:45,358 --> 00:55:47,688
nobody scoffed at that
until recent times

981
00:55:47,690 --> 00:55:50,555
when people started to buy
into this concept of millions

982
00:55:50,557 --> 00:55:51,755
and billions of years.

983
00:55:51,757 --> 00:55:53,388
One of the things
that really helps

984
00:55:53,390 --> 00:55:55,821
to convince people of
the millions of years

985
00:55:55,823 --> 00:55:59,155
is that chart of the
geological column,

986
00:55:59,157 --> 00:56:00,356
where you see the rock layers

987
00:56:00,358 --> 00:56:02,355
and then you've got #
the timeline on the side

988
00:56:02,357 --> 00:56:04,221
with the millions of years.

989
00:56:04,223 --> 00:56:06,288
And then you have the
bottom-dwelling sea creatures,

990
00:56:06,290 --> 00:56:09,621
and then fish, and amphibians,
and reptiles, and dinosaurs,

991
00:56:09,623 --> 00:56:11,554
and birds, and
mammals, and people.

992
00:56:11,556 --> 00:56:14,688
How did that geological
column get developed?

993
00:56:14,690 --> 00:56:17,421
It was back in the late 18th
and early 19th centuries

994
00:56:17,423 --> 00:56:20,755
that they started to use
the fossils, certain fossils

995
00:56:20,757 --> 00:56:24,156
called index fossils,
to date a rock layer.

996
00:56:24,158 --> 00:56:25,554
"Oh, well that rock
layer is this old

997
00:56:25,556 --> 00:56:27,554
"because we know
that the rock layers

998
00:56:27,556 --> 00:56:29,621
"that have those
fossils are this old."

999
00:56:29,623 --> 00:56:32,222
You might ask, "How did they
know how old the fossils were?"

1000
00:56:32,224 --> 00:56:33,521
Good question.

1001
00:56:33,523 --> 00:56:34,721
They didn't.

1002
00:56:34,723 --> 00:56:36,822
They were making an assumption
about the history of life.

1003
00:56:36,824 --> 00:56:40,354
That assumption is just invalid.

1004
00:56:40,356 --> 00:56:42,755
Remember this?

1005
00:56:42,757 --> 00:56:44,555
The geologic column.

1006
00:56:44,557 --> 00:56:46,821
You were probably
taught in school

1007
00:56:46,823 --> 00:56:49,421
that each layer represents
a different period of time,

1008
00:56:49,423 --> 00:56:53,354
and was deposited over
millions of years.

1009
00:56:53,356 --> 00:56:56,788
In reality, each layer
is simply showing

1010
00:56:56,790 --> 00:56:59,488
the order of how
things were buried.

1011
00:56:59,490 --> 00:57:02,121
Both land and sea
creatures alike

1012
00:57:02,123 --> 00:57:05,088
are found throughout
the geologic column.

1013
00:57:05,090 --> 00:57:07,554
Sea creatures are
found from the lowest

1014
00:57:07,556 --> 00:57:11,121
to the highest layers and
even on top of mountains.

1015
00:57:11,123 --> 00:57:15,421
In fact, 75% of the
Earth's land surface

1016
00:57:15,423 --> 00:57:18,089
is made of sedimentary layers

1017
00:57:18,091 --> 00:57:21,321
which are rock layers
formed in water.

1018
00:57:21,323 --> 00:57:23,822
Geologists also
confess that the world

1019
00:57:23,824 --> 00:57:26,555
is riddled with
massively eroded features

1020
00:57:26,557 --> 00:57:29,288
like the Grand
Canyon in America,

1021
00:57:29,290 --> 00:57:31,387
the Blyde River Canyon
in South Africa,

1022
00:57:31,389 --> 00:57:33,789
and the Capertee
Valley in Australia.

1023
00:57:33,791 --> 00:57:38,992
And yet, they still refuse to
acknowledge a worldwide flood.

1024
00:57:40,289 --> 00:57:42,754
Remember those prophetic
verses in the book of Peter?

1025
00:57:42,756 --> 00:57:45,621
"There shall come in
the last days scoffers

1026
00:57:45,623 --> 00:57:49,421
"who are willingly
ignorant that the Earth,

1027
00:57:49,423 --> 00:57:52,355
"being overflowed
with water, perished."

1028
00:57:52,357 --> 00:57:56,156
2,000 years ago, Peter warned us

1029
00:57:56,158 --> 00:58:00,158
this rejection of
truth would happen.

1030
00:58:01,589 --> 00:58:04,788
Fossils are actually
not the evidence

1031
00:58:04,790 --> 00:58:06,754
of the history of life.

1032
00:58:06,756 --> 00:58:08,554
It's the evidence of the death

1033
00:58:08,556 --> 00:58:11,089
of all life during Noah's flood,

1034
00:58:11,091 --> 00:58:12,788
and how all those
things got buried.

1035
00:58:12,790 --> 00:58:15,488
There are sea creatures all the
way through the rock record.

1036
00:58:15,490 --> 00:58:17,554
And we find sea
creatures on the tops of

1037
00:58:17,556 --> 00:58:19,422
all of our highest mountains!

1038
00:58:19,424 --> 00:58:21,822
There are sea creatures on
the tops of the Himalayas,

1039
00:58:21,824 --> 00:58:23,822
the Alps, the
Andes, the Rockies.

1040
00:58:23,824 --> 00:58:25,221
How did they get up there?

1041
00:58:25,223 --> 00:58:27,156
Creatures that don't
have any hard parts.

1042
00:58:27,158 --> 00:58:28,055
Fossil worms.

1043
00:58:28,057 --> 00:58:30,355
Fossil animal manure.

1044
00:58:30,357 --> 00:58:32,688
That's not gonna be
fossilized slowly

1045
00:58:32,690 --> 00:58:34,688
over hundreds or
thousands of years.

1046
00:58:34,690 --> 00:58:37,222
Those are some of the biblical
and scientific reasons

1047
00:58:37,224 --> 00:58:40,221
why we should not accept
those millions of years.

1048
00:58:40,223 --> 00:58:43,156
A lot of people think
that the biblical chronology

1049
00:58:43,158 --> 00:58:45,122
couldn't be true
because the Bible says

1050
00:58:45,124 --> 00:58:46,788
that the Earth is
6,000 years old.

1051
00:58:46,790 --> 00:58:48,554
That is very, very different

1052
00:58:48,556 --> 00:58:50,155
than saying that the
Earth is four and a half

1053
00:58:50,157 --> 00:58:51,354
billion years old.

1054
00:58:51,356 --> 00:58:52,755
How do we know that it's
four and a half billion years?

1055
00:58:52,757 --> 00:58:54,688
Because it's only ever stated.

1056
00:58:54,690 --> 00:58:55,687
"It's four and a
half billion years.

1057
00:58:55,689 --> 00:58:57,221
"We know that."

1058
00:58:57,223 --> 00:58:58,089
Well, how do you know that?

1059
00:58:58,091 --> 00:58:59,221
"Radioactive dating."

1060
00:58:59,223 --> 00:59:01,089
A lot of people think
that carbon dating

1061
00:59:01,091 --> 00:59:03,220
proves that the rocks are
millions of years old.

1062
00:59:03,222 --> 00:59:06,221
Carbon dating is never
used to date the rocks.

1063
00:59:06,223 --> 00:59:08,822
It is only used to date
former living things.

1064
00:59:08,824 --> 00:59:11,421
No evolutionist uses carbon-14

1065
00:59:11,423 --> 00:59:13,555
because even if it worked
the way they thought it did,

1066
00:59:13,557 --> 00:59:17,122
it can only go out
to 110,000 years max

1067
00:59:17,124 --> 00:59:20,156
even using the new accelerator
mass spectrometer method.

1068
00:59:20,158 --> 00:59:24,522
The half-life of carbon-14
is so short, only 5,730 years,

1069
00:59:24,524 --> 00:59:27,488
that you should not
find any carbon-14

1070
00:59:27,490 --> 00:59:30,721
in anything older
than 100,000 years,

1071
00:59:30,723 --> 00:59:33,155
which should not have even
one atom that we could detect.

1072
00:59:33,157 --> 00:59:35,587
The fact that people
are routinely finding

1073
00:59:35,589 --> 00:59:38,588
significant levels of C-14 in
all these different fossils

1074
00:59:38,590 --> 00:59:42,488
indicates something wrong
with the dating methods.

1075
00:59:42,490 --> 00:59:45,687
The half-life, the
decay rate, of carbon-14

1076
00:59:45,689 --> 00:59:49,622
is very short, so it's never
used to date the rocks.

1077
00:59:49,624 --> 00:59:51,154
It's the other methods.

1078
00:59:51,156 --> 00:59:54,089
Uranium changing into
lead, potassium into argon,

1079
00:59:54,091 --> 00:59:55,422
rubidium into strontium,

1080
00:59:55,424 --> 00:59:57,688
and they have really
long half-lives.

1081
00:59:57,690 --> 01:00:00,488
All of those,
including carbon-14,

1082
01:00:00,490 --> 01:00:02,288
depend on four
basic assumptions.

1083
01:00:02,290 --> 01:00:04,687
One, you somehow have
to be able to estimate

1084
01:00:04,689 --> 01:00:07,287
the original amount
of the parent isotope.

1085
01:00:07,289 --> 01:00:10,422
Two, you have to somehow
calculate the original amount

1086
01:00:10,424 --> 01:00:12,055
of the daughter isotope.

1087
01:00:12,057 --> 01:00:14,287
There are little
detective-forensic ways

1088
01:00:14,289 --> 01:00:17,122
but no truly scientific
method, rigorous ways

1089
01:00:17,124 --> 01:00:21,089
to actually determine the
beginning of that rock.

1090
01:00:21,091 --> 01:00:23,688
They also have to assume
that the rate at which,

1091
01:00:23,690 --> 01:00:26,521
for example, uranium
decays into lead,

1092
01:00:26,523 --> 01:00:28,487
has always been constant.

1093
01:00:28,489 --> 01:00:31,254
But they have only been
measuring the decay rates

1094
01:00:31,256 --> 01:00:33,288
for 100 years.

1095
01:00:33,290 --> 01:00:35,487
Pressure, magnetic
fields, and heat can change

1096
01:00:35,489 --> 01:00:37,089
the decay rates.

1097
01:00:37,091 --> 01:00:39,155
Radioactive lutetium decays
nine trillion times faster

1098
01:00:39,157 --> 01:00:43,555
in the plasma state, and
evolutionists, big bang theorists,

1099
01:00:43,557 --> 01:00:45,821
believe that the whole universe
began in a plasma state.

1100
01:00:45,823 --> 01:00:47,287
And one more.

1101
01:00:47,289 --> 01:00:49,587
You have to assume that
the sample has been

1102
01:00:49,589 --> 01:00:51,487
in a closed system
the entire time.

1103
01:00:51,489 --> 01:00:54,120
Scientists who are
well-informed on this issue,

1104
01:00:54,122 --> 01:00:56,354
with PhDs in
geology and physics,

1105
01:00:56,356 --> 01:00:57,621
they say there's problems

1106
01:00:57,623 --> 01:00:59,521
with every one of
those assumptions.

1107
01:00:59,523 --> 01:01:02,154
And even if one of these
assumptions doesn't go their way,

1108
01:01:02,156 --> 01:01:05,354
then the entire possibility
of the whole thing

1109
01:01:05,356 --> 01:01:07,220
drops to zero.

1110
01:01:07,222 --> 01:01:09,555
There's no reason
to trust that these

1111
01:01:09,557 --> 01:01:11,554
are giving us the
true age of the rocks.

1112
01:01:11,556 --> 01:01:13,688
I would rather
play the lottery

1113
01:01:13,690 --> 01:01:17,621
with my life savings than
bet on something like that!

1114
01:01:17,623 --> 01:01:20,422
In 2005,
Mary Schweitzer,

1115
01:01:20,424 --> 01:01:23,155
a paleontologist
and evolutionist,

1116
01:01:23,157 --> 01:01:27,488
made the first popularized
discovery of soft tissues

1117
01:01:27,490 --> 01:01:31,154
in a dinosaur bone, which
include blood vessels and cells,

1118
01:01:31,156 --> 01:01:34,821
DNA and proteins, all
of which decay quickly.

1119
01:01:34,823 --> 01:01:36,687
Mary Schweitzer herself said,

1120
01:01:36,689 --> 01:01:39,155
"This flies in the
face of everything

1121
01:01:39,157 --> 01:01:42,621
"we understand about how
tissues and cells degrade.

1122
01:01:42,623 --> 01:01:45,354
"I can't explain
it, to be honest."

1123
01:01:45,356 --> 01:01:48,554
Mary can't explain it and
neither can her colleagues,

1124
01:01:48,556 --> 01:01:50,622
who cling to the
evolutionary paradigm.

1125
01:01:50,624 --> 01:01:52,454
To illustrate the problem,

1126
01:01:52,456 --> 01:01:54,687
let's travel back
to the early 1700s,

1127
01:01:54,689 --> 01:01:57,621
a time when biblical
catastrophism

1128
01:01:57,623 --> 01:02:00,422
was the accepted
geological view.

1129
01:02:00,424 --> 01:02:04,487
If people then found a
dinosaur bone, or dragon bone,

1130
01:02:04,489 --> 01:02:07,087
as they may have called
it, with soft tissue

1131
01:02:07,089 --> 01:02:10,088
and remnants of blood still
in it, would they be confused?

1132
01:02:10,090 --> 01:02:11,422
Of course not.

1133
01:02:11,424 --> 01:02:14,587
They would simply conclude
this was a creature

1134
01:02:14,589 --> 01:02:16,622
that died and was buried

1135
01:02:16,624 --> 01:02:18,554
during or after the flood,

1136
01:02:18,556 --> 01:02:21,088
within the past
few thousand years.

1137
01:02:21,090 --> 01:02:23,220
Now let's fast-forward to today.

1138
01:02:23,222 --> 01:02:25,754
Would people be confused
to find the same thing

1139
01:02:25,756 --> 01:02:27,355
in a dinosaur bone?

1140
01:02:27,357 --> 01:02:29,087
Of course, many people would,

1141
01:02:29,089 --> 01:02:31,288
because the evidence we find

1142
01:02:31,290 --> 01:02:34,154
doesn't match the
evolutionary timescale

1143
01:02:34,156 --> 01:02:37,755
we've been conditioned
to believe.

1144
01:02:37,757 --> 01:02:40,154
Many textbooks say
that the peppered moth,

1145
01:02:40,156 --> 01:02:43,154
industrial melanism in
England, is evolution.

1146
01:02:43,156 --> 01:02:45,388
Well if that's all that
evolution is, I believe!

1147
01:02:45,390 --> 01:02:48,421
The dark-colored peppered
moths were more camouflaged

1148
01:02:48,423 --> 01:02:51,087
than the light-colored
peppered moths.

1149
01:02:51,089 --> 01:02:54,488
As a result, the birds could
see them and eat them for lunch

1150
01:02:54,490 --> 01:02:55,588
a lot easier.

1151
01:02:55,590 --> 01:02:57,588
It's not an evolutionary
event at all.

1152
01:02:57,590 --> 01:02:59,488
It's a natural selection event.

1153
01:02:59,490 --> 01:03:01,588
Natural selection means
to pick or choose,

1154
01:03:01,590 --> 01:03:03,754
to select from what
is already there,

1155
01:03:03,756 --> 01:03:05,154
traits that were already there,

1156
01:03:05,156 --> 01:03:06,622
genetic information
that was already there.

1157
01:03:06,624 --> 01:03:10,220
This process will never get
you from copepod sort of things

1158
01:03:10,222 --> 01:03:12,220
in the ocean turning into moths.

1159
01:03:12,222 --> 01:03:15,121
It will never get you from
monkeys turning into people.

1160
01:03:15,123 --> 01:03:17,754
This process can't make
one step in that direction.

1161
01:03:17,756 --> 01:03:20,221
Natural selection may
be able to explain

1162
01:03:20,223 --> 01:03:21,622
the survival of the fittest,

1163
01:03:21,624 --> 01:03:25,221
but it cannot explain the
arrival of the fittest.

1164
01:03:25,223 --> 01:03:27,288
How did we get moths
in the first place

1165
01:03:27,290 --> 01:03:30,220
is the question evolution
claims to answer

1166
01:03:30,222 --> 01:03:31,755
and cannot and does not.

1167
01:03:31,757 --> 01:03:35,555
Instead, they just go, "Look
at how the colors shifted."

1168
01:03:35,557 --> 01:03:37,555
Before the magic of evolution,

1169
01:03:37,557 --> 01:03:39,522
there were white
moths and black moths.

1170
01:03:39,524 --> 01:03:41,488
After the magic of evolution,

1171
01:03:41,490 --> 01:03:43,221
there were white
moths and black moths.

1172
01:03:43,223 --> 01:03:45,621
That would happen
if Darwin was wrong,

1173
01:03:45,623 --> 01:03:48,555
it doesn't have anything
to do with Darwin's theory.

1174
01:03:48,557 --> 01:03:50,220
The types of changes
that we're seeing

1175
01:03:50,222 --> 01:03:52,087
that lead to
variation with kinds

1176
01:03:52,089 --> 01:03:55,755
are not the types of changes
that are required by evolution.

1177
01:03:55,757 --> 01:03:58,087
There is variation
within the kind,

1178
01:03:58,089 --> 01:04:01,154
but not the evolution of one
kind becoming another kind.

1179
01:04:01,156 --> 01:04:04,155
In the creation account,
it says that God created,

1180
01:04:04,157 --> 01:04:07,288
according to their
kind, after their kind,

1181
01:04:07,290 --> 01:04:09,554
not through
evolutionary processes.

1182
01:04:09,556 --> 01:04:12,254
You don't have one kind
developing into another kind.

1183
01:04:12,256 --> 01:04:14,422
They are all created
according to their kind.

1184
01:04:14,424 --> 01:04:16,087
So even though
you get variety,

1185
01:04:16,089 --> 01:04:18,221
they are not changing
into other things.

1186
01:04:18,223 --> 01:04:21,488
Bacteria are not changing
into more complex creatures.

1187
01:04:21,490 --> 01:04:23,687
Yes, you can have great
variation within a kind.

1188
01:04:23,689 --> 01:04:25,388
You can get different
species forming,

1189
01:04:25,390 --> 01:04:27,288
which is what Darwin really saw.

1190
01:04:27,290 --> 01:04:28,622
But there are limits.

1191
01:04:28,624 --> 01:04:31,621
There are no mechanisms
there at all in genetics

1192
01:04:31,623 --> 01:04:33,722
to add in new information
that never existed

1193
01:04:33,724 --> 01:04:36,355
to change that into a
totally different kind.

1194
01:04:36,357 --> 01:04:37,821
Dogs always remain dogs.

1195
01:04:37,823 --> 01:04:39,622
Cats always remain cats.

1196
01:04:39,624 --> 01:04:42,055
There is nothing in
observational science

1197
01:04:42,057 --> 01:04:43,487
to contradict that.

1198
01:04:43,489 --> 01:04:46,220
Every animal will bring
forth after its own kind.

1199
01:04:46,222 --> 01:04:48,654
You can observe that in
the existing creation

1200
01:04:48,656 --> 01:04:50,388
and in the fossil record.

1201
01:04:50,390 --> 01:04:54,288
Genesis passes the
scientific method.

1202
01:04:54,290 --> 01:04:55,821
evolution doesn't.

1203
01:04:55,823 --> 01:04:57,388
The fact of the matter is

1204
01:04:57,390 --> 01:05:00,088
the information is stronger
than it has ever been.

1205
01:05:00,090 --> 01:05:02,421
In the past five years there
has been a quantum jump

1206
01:05:02,423 --> 01:05:04,588
in the data, the new discoveries

1207
01:05:04,590 --> 01:05:07,688
that actually go against
evolutionary thinking

1208
01:05:07,690 --> 01:05:09,421
and make it more and
more preposterous,

1209
01:05:09,423 --> 01:05:12,221
against evolutionary theory
and actually make it untrue.

1210
01:05:12,223 --> 01:05:15,488
The creationists are finding
more and more ammunition

1211
01:05:15,490 --> 01:05:18,088
in the new scientific data,

1212
01:05:18,090 --> 01:05:20,354
not in theories in the data,

1213
01:05:20,356 --> 01:05:23,221
which prompted
Eugenie Scott to say,

1214
01:05:23,223 --> 01:05:25,087
"Facts are a dime a dozen,

1215
01:05:25,089 --> 01:05:27,554
"theories are what
matter in science."

1216
01:05:27,556 --> 01:05:29,121
You know what?

1217
01:05:29,123 --> 01:05:31,255
It is unbelievable what
unbelievers have to believe

1218
01:05:31,257 --> 01:05:32,422
to be unbelievers!

1219
01:05:32,424 --> 01:05:34,422
Come to me when you
can show me the money.

1220
01:05:34,424 --> 01:05:35,555
Do you have facts or not?

1221
01:05:35,557 --> 01:05:37,087
Do you have data?

1222
01:05:37,089 --> 01:05:38,421
Do you have observations?

1223
01:05:38,423 --> 01:05:39,555
Do you have the
scientific method or not?

1224
01:05:39,557 --> 01:05:41,355
Contrary to what Bill Nye said,

1225
01:05:41,357 --> 01:05:44,754
we should tell our children
what our beliefs are and why.

1226
01:05:44,756 --> 01:05:48,221
We should not just say, "This
is what to believe, Johnny."

1227
01:05:48,223 --> 01:05:50,187
but say, "Here is
why we believe this

1228
01:05:50,189 --> 01:05:51,687
"and it's not just faith.

1229
01:05:51,689 --> 01:05:52,788
"We have science.

1230
01:05:52,790 --> 01:05:54,223
"It's really on our side."

1231
01:06:05,090 --> 01:06:07,024
"And God said,

1232
01:06:10,723 --> 01:06:14,424
"'Let the earth bring
forth the living creature

1233
01:06:15,689 --> 01:06:17,357
"after his kind,

1234
01:06:23,489 --> 01:06:26,622
"cattle, and creeping thing,

1235
01:06:26,624 --> 01:06:30,091
"and beast of the
Earth after his kind.'

1236
01:06:38,557 --> 01:06:39,757
"And it was so.

1237
01:06:57,223 --> 01:07:02,124
"And God made the beast of
the Earth after his kind,

1238
01:07:25,823 --> 01:07:31,024
"and cattle after their kind,

1239
01:07:43,556 --> 01:07:47,490
"and every thing that
creepeth upon the Earth

1240
01:07:48,489 --> 01:07:49,756
"after his kind.

1241
01:08:12,389 --> 01:08:14,990
"And God saw that it was good.

1242
01:08:48,557 --> 01:08:50,753
Evolutionists believe
that approximately

1243
01:08:50,755 --> 01:08:52,488
five million years ago,

1244
01:08:52,490 --> 01:08:56,686
humans and today's apes
shared a common ancestor

1245
01:08:56,688 --> 01:08:58,620
back at a fork in the road.

1246
01:08:58,622 --> 01:09:01,422
That creature is often referred

1247
01:09:01,424 --> 01:09:03,088
to as an ape-like creature.

1248
01:09:03,090 --> 01:09:04,554
They don't like
to call it an ape

1249
01:09:04,556 --> 01:09:06,188
because they will argue
that this creature

1250
01:09:06,190 --> 01:09:09,155
evolved into apes,
and apes evolving

1251
01:09:09,157 --> 01:09:10,687
into apes is not impressive.

1252
01:09:10,689 --> 01:09:13,554
I'm prepared to accept
that ape-like creatures

1253
01:09:13,556 --> 01:09:14,686
produced apes.

1254
01:09:14,688 --> 01:09:16,487
I have a little
trouble with the idea

1255
01:09:16,489 --> 01:09:18,488
that ape-like creatures
became humans,

1256
01:09:18,490 --> 01:09:22,554
and of course that's the
whole realm of the ape-men.

1257
01:09:22,556 --> 01:09:24,754
Most people are
taught anthropology

1258
01:09:24,756 --> 01:09:26,686
from a secular
worldview nowadays.

1259
01:09:26,688 --> 01:09:28,221
And when they do
that, they are taught

1260
01:09:28,223 --> 01:09:29,821
an entirely different history.

1261
01:09:29,823 --> 01:09:31,355
People are taught,
and I was taught this

1262
01:09:31,357 --> 01:09:32,555
when I went to school as well,

1263
01:09:32,557 --> 01:09:34,721
I was taught, "Hey, we evolved
from some ape-like ancestor

1264
01:09:34,723 --> 01:09:36,288
"out of Africa.

1265
01:09:36,290 --> 01:09:38,087
"They migrated out of
Africa to the Middle East.

1266
01:09:38,089 --> 01:09:39,487
"We got a little bit smarter.

1267
01:09:39,489 --> 01:09:41,821
"We went from hunters and
gatherers to become farmers.

1268
01:09:41,823 --> 01:09:44,422
"Then after that we
developed some civilizations.

1269
01:09:44,424 --> 01:09:47,687
"We see Mesopotamia, or
Egypt, or the Indus Valley,

1270
01:09:47,689 --> 01:09:48,554
things like that.

1271
01:09:48,556 --> 01:09:49,753
"Then people got smarter

1272
01:09:49,755 --> 01:09:51,287
"and we were able to
start building boats

1273
01:09:51,289 --> 01:09:52,687
"and going around
to different places.

1274
01:09:52,689 --> 01:09:54,422
"And all of the sudden,

1275
01:09:54,424 --> 01:09:56,821
"we see places like the
Roman Empire pop up.

1276
01:09:56,823 --> 01:09:59,087
"Then we transfer all
the way up to England,

1277
01:09:59,089 --> 01:10:01,220
"becomes one of the most
powerful nations on Earth.

1278
01:10:01,222 --> 01:10:03,087
"Then we transfer
over to the Americas.

1279
01:10:03,089 --> 01:10:04,154
"And here we are."

1280
01:10:04,156 --> 01:10:06,553
That's the kind of anthropology
that we were taught.

1281
01:10:06,555 --> 01:10:08,554
But if you go back 200 years ago

1282
01:10:08,556 --> 01:10:10,687
and look at anthropology
from that perspective

1283
01:10:10,689 --> 01:10:14,220
and for the 2,000 years before
that, nobody believed that.

1284
01:10:14,222 --> 01:10:15,820
That is actually a
relatively new idea

1285
01:10:15,822 --> 01:10:17,554
based on an
evolutionary worldview.

1286
01:10:17,556 --> 01:10:20,288
Anthropology, if you start
with God and his word,

1287
01:10:20,290 --> 01:10:21,355
starts with Adam and Eve.

1288
01:10:21,357 --> 01:10:22,754
God creates Adam and Eve!

1289
01:10:22,756 --> 01:10:25,355
You see, what the Bible
says, what Genesis says,

1290
01:10:25,357 --> 01:10:28,521
is that on the sixth day of
the world, God made two humans.

1291
01:10:28,523 --> 01:10:30,288
He made a whole
bunch of monkeys.

1292
01:10:30,290 --> 01:10:32,421
He never made any monkey-humans,

1293
01:10:32,423 --> 01:10:34,488
but that's what they are always
looking for in the fossils.

1294
01:10:34,490 --> 01:10:38,054
And one by one, all of
the different so-called

1295
01:10:38,056 --> 01:10:40,488
missing link fossils
have been reclassified

1296
01:10:40,490 --> 01:10:45,087
as either over to the human
side or over to the monkey side.

1297
01:10:45,089 --> 01:10:48,687
Lucy, Lucy, the
Australopithecus afarensis,

1298
01:10:48,689 --> 01:10:53,421
discovered by Donald Johanson
in 1973, Johanson himself

1299
01:10:53,423 --> 01:10:56,686
said, "Lucy has really
been dethroned."

1300
01:10:56,688 --> 01:10:58,521
Meet Lucy.

1301
01:10:58,523 --> 01:11:01,154
The nasal bones do not protrude.

1302
01:11:01,156 --> 01:11:04,355
Do you notice any slope
at all to the face?

1303
01:11:04,357 --> 01:11:05,554
Of course.

1304
01:11:05,556 --> 01:11:07,754
Compare the zygomatic
arch to the slope.

1305
01:11:07,756 --> 01:11:10,154
Clearly, ape-like.

1306
01:11:10,156 --> 01:11:12,220
What about the forehead.

1307
01:11:12,222 --> 01:11:14,155
Is it flat or curved?

1308
01:11:14,157 --> 01:11:15,490
Absolutely flat.

1309
01:11:16,457 --> 01:11:18,221
When we look from the side,

1310
01:11:18,223 --> 01:11:20,621
the bone comes way out
on this flat forehead.

1311
01:11:20,623 --> 01:11:23,422
And it is very
difficult to see whether

1312
01:11:23,424 --> 01:11:25,687
there are orbits or eye sockets

1313
01:11:25,689 --> 01:11:27,620
viewed from the side.

1314
01:11:27,622 --> 01:11:29,287
Finally, cranial capacity.

1315
01:11:29,289 --> 01:11:34,290
Lucy has a small brain by ape
standards, nevermind human.

1316
01:11:35,555 --> 01:11:36,654
Lucy had a brain
one-third the size of ours.

1317
01:11:36,656 --> 01:11:40,486
At full growth, as a full-grown
woman, only 65 pounds,

1318
01:11:40,488 --> 01:11:42,154
three and a half feet tall.

1319
01:11:42,156 --> 01:11:43,486
This was a chimp.

1320
01:11:43,488 --> 01:11:47,055
And the drawings and
the skeletal diagrams

1321
01:11:47,057 --> 01:11:48,454
of her standing upright,

1322
01:11:48,456 --> 01:11:51,754
this probably would have been
very unnatural and painful

1323
01:11:51,756 --> 01:11:54,753
knowing what we know now about
the toe bones being curved

1324
01:11:54,755 --> 01:11:57,754
more than on a modern
chimp, and many other things

1325
01:11:57,756 --> 01:11:59,422
about the fingers too.

1326
01:11:59,424 --> 01:12:02,553
With a divergent big toe, is
what they're calling it now

1327
01:12:02,555 --> 01:12:04,421
as they have discovered
more of the fossils.

1328
01:12:04,423 --> 01:12:06,687
That means a thumb on the foot.

1329
01:12:06,689 --> 01:12:09,121
Lucy was a chimp!

1330
01:12:09,123 --> 01:12:12,355
The quest for the
elusive missing-link fossil

1331
01:12:12,357 --> 01:12:14,621
between ape-like
creatures and humans

1332
01:12:14,623 --> 01:12:17,621
has given rise to some
of the grossest examples

1333
01:12:17,623 --> 01:12:20,753
of evolutionary
propaganda to date.

1334
01:12:20,755 --> 01:12:24,088
Lucy, who they claim is
our distant relative,

1335
01:12:24,090 --> 01:12:25,686
is perhaps the worst.

1336
01:12:25,688 --> 01:12:29,721
To see why, let's
isolate a scanned replica

1337
01:12:29,723 --> 01:12:33,354
of the Lucy skull, as
evolutionists have imagined it,

1338
01:12:33,356 --> 01:12:36,687
and place it next to the
skull of a modern chimpanzee.

1339
01:12:36,689 --> 01:12:40,087
What becomes
immediately apparent

1340
01:12:40,089 --> 01:12:42,753
is that the two skulls
are nearly identical,

1341
01:12:42,755 --> 01:12:47,321
with the exception that Lucy's
brain cavity is even smaller.

1342
01:12:47,323 --> 01:12:49,687
To fuller illustrate this,

1343
01:12:49,689 --> 01:12:53,288
let's pass the Lucy skull
into the chimpanzee skull.

1344
01:12:53,290 --> 01:12:56,721
With the two skulls now
on top of one another,

1345
01:12:56,723 --> 01:12:59,754
it seems incredibly
clear that Lucy

1346
01:12:59,756 --> 01:13:02,754
was just a type of chimpanzee.

1347
01:13:02,756 --> 01:13:04,754
To further illustrate the point,

1348
01:13:04,756 --> 01:13:09,220
let's now pass the Lucy skull
into that of a modern human.

1349
01:13:09,222 --> 01:13:13,220
To be gracious, even
if we scale Lucy up,

1350
01:13:13,222 --> 01:13:17,087
she still doesn't come
close to being human.

1351
01:13:17,089 --> 01:13:20,087
What would your conclusion
be on a creature like this?

1352
01:13:20,089 --> 01:13:21,720
I mean, clearly, it's an ape.

1353
01:13:21,722 --> 01:13:24,221
In fact, what's Lucy's
scientific name?

1354
01:13:24,223 --> 01:13:26,754
Australopithecus.

1355
01:13:26,756 --> 01:13:29,288
That means southern ape.

1356
01:13:29,290 --> 01:13:32,357
Whatever else we could say
about Lucy, she is an ape.

1357
01:13:33,688 --> 01:13:36,421
Let's look at another
presumed ancestor of man,

1358
01:13:36,423 --> 01:13:39,220
or a pre-homo sapiens.

1359
01:13:39,222 --> 01:13:40,420
It's neanderthal Man.

1360
01:13:40,422 --> 01:13:42,221
The problem with neanderthals,

1361
01:13:42,223 --> 01:13:43,621
when I was in college,
they taught us that

1362
01:13:43,623 --> 01:13:44,788
they were the missing link

1363
01:13:44,790 --> 01:13:46,686
and that they
could barely grunt.

1364
01:13:48,257 --> 01:13:50,354
And now we found out that
the hypoglossal canal,

1365
01:13:50,356 --> 01:13:54,320
a hole at the base of the
skull where a nerve goes out

1366
01:13:54,322 --> 01:13:56,621
to the mouth, so
controls our speaking,

1367
01:13:56,623 --> 01:14:01,353
the hypoglossal nerve is the
same size in neanderthals

1368
01:14:01,355 --> 01:14:03,486
as in modern people today.

1369
01:14:03,488 --> 01:14:06,687
Monkeys have just a little,
thin thread-like nerve.

1370
01:14:06,689 --> 01:14:08,421
They have the hardware,

1371
01:14:08,423 --> 01:14:10,287
they just don't have
the software drivers

1372
01:14:10,289 --> 01:14:11,821
to actually talk.

1373
01:14:11,823 --> 01:14:13,787
They think, they have thoughts
and probably emotions,

1374
01:14:13,789 --> 01:14:16,788
but they just can't
do that like we can.

1375
01:14:16,790 --> 01:14:19,754
Neanderthals
obviously could talk.

1376
01:14:19,756 --> 01:14:22,753
We have every bone in
neanderthal man's body.

1377
01:14:22,755 --> 01:14:24,486
There's not a missing bone.

1378
01:14:24,488 --> 01:14:26,753
So, we know that the
nasal bone is protruded,

1379
01:14:26,755 --> 01:14:28,687
just as you see them there.

1380
01:14:28,689 --> 01:14:30,587
Even this nasal spine down here,

1381
01:14:30,589 --> 01:14:32,420
which is just under your nose,

1382
01:14:32,422 --> 01:14:35,621
the nasal spine is not
found on apes either.

1383
01:14:35,623 --> 01:14:37,687
So, we have the spine and
we have the protruding nose.

1384
01:14:37,689 --> 01:14:42,088
What about the
slope of the face?

1385
01:14:42,090 --> 01:14:43,553
Perpendicular.

1386
01:14:43,555 --> 01:14:48,155
What about the curvature
of the forehead?

1387
01:14:48,157 --> 01:14:50,353
It's curved enough
that you can see

1388
01:14:50,355 --> 01:14:53,386
into the orbits quite
easily from the side.

1389
01:14:53,388 --> 01:14:56,088
Finally, cranial capacity.

1390
01:14:56,090 --> 01:14:58,154
If you compare this skull

1391
01:14:58,156 --> 01:15:00,687
to an adult modern human skull,

1392
01:15:00,689 --> 01:15:04,087
it's about 100 CCs
or more, larger.

1393
01:15:04,089 --> 01:15:05,686
What would your conclusion be?

1394
01:15:05,688 --> 01:15:08,087
Is this an ape or
is this a human?

1395
01:15:08,089 --> 01:15:09,687
It's obviously a human.

1396
01:15:09,689 --> 01:15:11,221
But if it's a human,

1397
01:15:11,223 --> 01:15:13,188
we expect to find more
than just simply the bones.

1398
01:15:13,190 --> 01:15:15,554
We expect some cultural
evidence, and we have that.

1399
01:15:15,556 --> 01:15:18,420
We've found, since the
time that I was in college

1400
01:15:18,422 --> 01:15:22,486
in the '70s, we've found
turquoise and pink-colored

1401
01:15:22,488 --> 01:15:25,421
flax fibers in
neanderthal caves.

1402
01:15:25,423 --> 01:15:27,219
They liked colorful clothing.

1403
01:15:27,221 --> 01:15:29,287
They were built better than us.

1404
01:15:29,289 --> 01:15:31,155
They also had bigger
brains than us.

1405
01:15:31,157 --> 01:15:32,753
The average human today,

1406
01:15:32,755 --> 01:15:35,620
the braincase is 1200
cubic centimeters.

1407
01:15:35,622 --> 01:15:38,421
In neanderthals, 1400
cubic centimeters.

1408
01:15:38,423 --> 01:15:40,286
We have burial customs.

1409
01:15:40,288 --> 01:15:42,287
We have tools of
all different kinds.

1410
01:15:42,289 --> 01:15:43,487
They were good hunters.

1411
01:15:43,489 --> 01:15:45,155
They had strategies.

1412
01:15:45,157 --> 01:15:47,154
They took women on
their hunting trips.

1413
01:15:47,156 --> 01:15:49,054
One evolutionist actually said

1414
01:15:49,056 --> 01:15:51,220
that might be why
they went extinct.

1415
01:15:51,222 --> 01:15:54,420
Recently, they've found what
is arguably a cosmetics kit,

1416
01:15:54,422 --> 01:15:57,353
a couple of scallop shells
unhinged with pigments in them.

1417
01:15:57,355 --> 01:15:59,387
They have found what
appear to be flutes

1418
01:15:59,389 --> 01:16:01,353
with holes in positions
to be playable

1419
01:16:01,355 --> 01:16:02,821
buried with neanderthal man.

1420
01:16:02,823 --> 01:16:04,621
We found a musical instrument,

1421
01:16:04,623 --> 01:16:07,821
a bare bone with holes
drilled in it like a flute.

1422
01:16:07,823 --> 01:16:10,055
I don't know if you've ever
heard a monkey play a flute,

1423
01:16:10,057 --> 01:16:11,486
but it really doesn't work.

1424
01:16:11,488 --> 01:16:15,187
We find flowers buried in
the graves of their dead.

1425
01:16:15,189 --> 01:16:17,088
Animals, monkeys,
don't bury their dead.

1426
01:16:17,090 --> 01:16:18,220
Humans do that.

1427
01:16:18,222 --> 01:16:20,687
They had art, religion,
culture, language.

1428
01:16:20,689 --> 01:16:22,287
Unquestionably human.

1429
01:16:22,289 --> 01:16:25,654
And yet, when I first
bought this model of

1430
01:16:25,656 --> 01:16:28,821
neanderthal man, it was
called Homo-sapiens subspecies

1431
01:16:28,823 --> 01:16:30,553
neanderthalensis.

1432
01:16:30,555 --> 01:16:32,687
In other words, they gave it
a different subspecies name.

1433
01:16:32,689 --> 01:16:35,788
Today, the scientific
designation, the classification,

1434
01:16:35,790 --> 01:16:37,521
for neanderthal man

1435
01:16:37,523 --> 01:16:40,487
is homo-sapiens
neanderthalensis.

1436
01:16:40,489 --> 01:16:43,820
And that third word is
actually the designation

1437
01:16:43,822 --> 01:16:46,454
of the variety of
humans that it is.

1438
01:16:46,456 --> 01:16:48,753
We are now classified
as homo-sapiens sapiens.

1439
01:16:48,755 --> 01:16:52,353
So what creation has been
saying all along is true.

1440
01:16:52,355 --> 01:16:54,586
Neanderthals were people too!

1441
01:16:54,588 --> 01:16:57,154
100% human.

1442
01:16:57,156 --> 01:16:58,621
And that's true, by the
way, of the whole body,

1443
01:16:58,623 --> 01:17:00,153
not just the skull.

1444
01:17:00,155 --> 01:17:01,253
The same experiment

1445
01:17:01,255 --> 01:17:03,421
can be done with neanderthals,

1446
01:17:03,423 --> 01:17:06,354
which evolutionists
claim is another branch

1447
01:17:06,356 --> 01:17:08,687
in the transition
from apes to humans.

1448
01:17:08,689 --> 01:17:11,686
Let's place the skull
of a neanderthal

1449
01:17:11,688 --> 01:17:15,154
next to the skull
of a modern human.

1450
01:17:15,156 --> 01:17:17,821
The Neanderthal has the
same facial structures.

1451
01:17:17,823 --> 01:17:21,421
We all know that everyone
has a uniquely-shaped skull.

1452
01:17:21,423 --> 01:17:23,820
Some people have larger heads,

1453
01:17:23,822 --> 01:17:26,153
some have wider cheek bones,

1454
01:17:26,155 --> 01:17:28,820
broader jaws and brow ridges,

1455
01:17:28,822 --> 01:17:30,621
more slope to their foreheads.

1456
01:17:30,623 --> 01:17:32,686
With the right combination
of these traits

1457
01:17:32,688 --> 01:17:34,554
that we see in people today,

1458
01:17:34,556 --> 01:17:39,557
it is easy to see how a
neanderthal is simply a human.

1459
01:17:41,822 --> 01:17:44,153
Everyone's been told that
there are dozens and dozens

1460
01:17:44,155 --> 01:17:46,686
of these solid
missing-link fossils,

1461
01:17:46,688 --> 01:17:48,420
transitional forms,
so and so man,

1462
01:17:48,422 --> 01:17:50,054
and Java Man,

1463
01:17:50,056 --> 01:17:51,220
and Piltdown Man,

1464
01:17:51,222 --> 01:17:52,421
and...

1465
01:17:52,423 --> 01:17:53,621
Cro-Magnon Man,
neanderthal man.

1466
01:17:53,623 --> 01:17:56,354
Essentially, all of Homo-erectus
would be just human beings.

1467
01:17:56,356 --> 01:17:59,219
Don't just believe
urban myths of the proofs

1468
01:17:59,221 --> 01:18:03,087
of evolution like junk DNA,
like missing-link fossils.

1469
01:18:03,089 --> 01:18:04,686
The secular world
teaches that you evolved

1470
01:18:04,688 --> 01:18:06,653
from some ape-like ancestor,
that there was no Adam and Eve.

1471
01:18:06,655 --> 01:18:08,420
And since there's
no Adam and Eve,

1472
01:18:08,422 --> 01:18:10,287
then there was no fall into sin,

1473
01:18:10,289 --> 01:18:12,219
which means that there
is no need for a savior.

1474
01:18:12,221 --> 01:18:14,153
So, see, the
secular anthropology

1475
01:18:14,155 --> 01:18:15,754
not only attacks the
authority of the Bible,

1476
01:18:15,756 --> 01:18:17,657
but it attacks the
very gospel itself.

1477
01:18:46,823 --> 01:18:49,223
"And God said,

1478
01:18:55,289 --> 01:18:56,623
"'Let us make man

1479
01:19:07,822 --> 01:19:09,155
"in our image,

1480
01:19:15,288 --> 01:19:17,390
"after our likeness.

1481
01:20:13,422 --> 01:20:17,756
"And let them have dominion
over the fish of the sea,

1482
01:20:22,355 --> 01:20:24,757
"and over the fowl of the air,

1483
01:20:26,555 --> 01:20:28,155
"and over the cattle,

1484
01:20:30,155 --> 01:20:32,290
"and over all the earth,

1485
01:20:34,322 --> 01:20:38,319
"and over every creeping
thing that creepeth

1486
01:20:38,321 --> 01:20:39,622
"upon the earth."

1487
01:21:33,288 --> 01:21:36,520
I was debating the student
Atheist Club president

1488
01:21:36,522 --> 01:21:38,119
at the College of New Jersey.

1489
01:21:38,121 --> 01:21:40,120
He made the statement
in his closing comments

1490
01:21:40,122 --> 01:21:42,186
that there were
dozens of fossils

1491
01:21:42,188 --> 01:21:47,189
that proved the transition
from simians to humans.

1492
01:21:47,688 --> 01:21:49,319
And I said,

1493
01:21:49,321 --> 01:21:51,553
"Now, you said that there
were dozens of fossils.

1494
01:21:51,555 --> 01:21:53,554
"Can you name one?"

1495
01:21:53,556 --> 01:21:55,486
He said, "Well, the
literature is just replete."

1496
01:21:55,488 --> 01:21:56,354
Blah blah blah.

1497
01:21:56,356 --> 01:21:57,587
"There are so many."

1498
01:21:57,589 --> 01:21:58,754
And I said, "I
didn't ask for many.

1499
01:21:58,756 --> 01:22:00,387
"I just asked you for one.

1500
01:22:00,389 --> 01:22:02,386
"Just tell the audience one."

1501
01:22:02,388 --> 01:22:05,788
And he went, "Well,
Australopithecus africanus."

1502
01:22:05,790 --> 01:22:07,153
I said to the audience, "Okay."

1503
01:22:07,155 --> 01:22:08,353
I stood up and I said,

1504
01:22:08,355 --> 01:22:10,788
"Now we're gonna learn
about urban myths."

1505
01:22:10,790 --> 01:22:12,621
One of the common
misconceptions

1506
01:22:12,623 --> 01:22:15,186
that exists in society
is that they say

1507
01:22:15,188 --> 01:22:17,720
that humans and chimps
are 99% similar.

1508
01:22:17,722 --> 01:22:20,554
I am very disillusioned
by the idea

1509
01:22:20,556 --> 01:22:23,220
of using a percentage to
describe how similar humans

1510
01:22:23,222 --> 01:22:24,421
and chimps are.

1511
01:22:24,423 --> 01:22:26,420
You cannot use a
percent similarity

1512
01:22:26,422 --> 01:22:29,220
to describe common ancestry!

1513
01:22:29,222 --> 01:22:31,219
One of the
most popular misconceptions

1514
01:22:31,221 --> 01:22:35,486
held by evolutionists is that
birds evolved from dinosaurs.

1515
01:22:35,488 --> 01:22:37,621
What proof do they
have, you might ask?

1516
01:22:37,623 --> 01:22:42,153
Well, just look at their
similar design, they might say,

1517
01:22:42,155 --> 01:22:44,820
pointing out that both
birds and some dinosaurs

1518
01:22:44,822 --> 01:22:46,520
have hollow bones.

1519
01:22:46,522 --> 01:22:50,220
But common features
can also be understood

1520
01:22:50,222 --> 01:22:52,487
as evidence for a
common designer,

1521
01:22:52,489 --> 01:22:54,686
who didn't need to
reinvent the wheel

1522
01:22:54,688 --> 01:22:57,153
every time He
created a new kind.

1523
01:22:57,155 --> 01:23:01,187
Humans and frogs both have five
digits on their lower limbs,

1524
01:23:01,189 --> 01:23:03,354
but that doesn't
mean frogs and humans

1525
01:23:03,356 --> 01:23:05,086
share a common ancestor,

1526
01:23:05,088 --> 01:23:08,486
unless you believe
fairy tales, of course!

1527
01:23:08,488 --> 01:23:11,620
It's not too surprising
that our chromosomes

1528
01:23:11,622 --> 01:23:14,254
look a lot the same
as a chimpanzee's.

1529
01:23:14,256 --> 01:23:16,686
Of all other living
things, their biochemistry,

1530
01:23:16,688 --> 01:23:19,254
their physiology, and
their body structures

1531
01:23:19,256 --> 01:23:20,553
look the most like us.

1532
01:23:20,555 --> 01:23:23,554
Their DNA ought to look
the most like ours too.

1533
01:23:23,556 --> 01:23:25,752
For goodness sake,
bananas have DNA

1534
01:23:25,754 --> 01:23:27,453
that is 50% the same as ours.

1535
01:23:27,455 --> 01:23:31,319
So, monkeys should
have 80, 90, 98%

1536
01:23:31,321 --> 01:23:32,487
the same DNA.

1537
01:23:32,489 --> 01:23:34,721
Their bodies look
that much like ours.

1538
01:23:34,723 --> 01:23:37,687
If evolution was not true
and there is a designer,

1539
01:23:37,689 --> 01:23:39,819
a creator God who
made those chromosomes

1540
01:23:39,821 --> 01:23:41,753
in the beginning, this is
what it would look like.

1541
01:23:41,755 --> 01:23:43,521
When you start
looking at the genome

1542
01:23:43,523 --> 01:23:45,753
and the DNA differences
and you try to figure out,

1543
01:23:45,755 --> 01:23:47,752
how different are we?

1544
01:23:47,754 --> 01:23:51,254
What makes humans different
from everything else?

1545
01:23:51,256 --> 01:23:54,287
This image of God as the
Latin phrase Imago Dei.

1546
01:23:54,289 --> 01:23:55,620
What does that mean?

1547
01:23:55,622 --> 01:23:57,287
We're not animals.

1548
01:23:57,289 --> 01:23:58,554
We're different
from the animals.

1549
01:23:58,556 --> 01:24:00,187
Human beings have court systems.

1550
01:24:00,189 --> 01:24:02,421
We believe in justice and
truth and righteousness

1551
01:24:02,423 --> 01:24:04,187
because we are made
in the image of God.

1552
01:24:04,189 --> 01:24:05,620
We are moral creations.

1553
01:24:05,622 --> 01:24:07,287
When you read
through Genesis 1,

1554
01:24:07,289 --> 01:24:09,553
it comes to the pinnacle
at the very end.

1555
01:24:09,555 --> 01:24:13,553
Humans are created, and
behold, it was very good.

1556
01:24:13,555 --> 01:24:15,421
Now when God says that
something is very good,

1557
01:24:15,423 --> 01:24:17,086
how good is it?

1558
01:24:17,088 --> 01:24:18,553
It was a perfect creation
where there was no death.

1559
01:24:18,555 --> 01:24:20,220
God made the world perfect.

1560
01:24:20,222 --> 01:24:21,820
There was no
death or bloodshed

1561
01:24:21,822 --> 01:24:23,752
according to Genesis 1:29, 30.

1562
01:24:23,754 --> 01:24:26,219
Originally, all of the
animals were vegetarian

1563
01:24:26,221 --> 01:24:27,620
and mankind was vegetarian.

1564
01:24:27,622 --> 01:24:29,220
We weren't allowed to eat
meat until after the flood.

1565
01:24:29,222 --> 01:24:31,286
That's when God first
permitted man to eat meat.

1566
01:24:31,288 --> 01:24:32,752
People didn't kill
animals for food.

1567
01:24:32,754 --> 01:24:34,686
Animals didn't rip
each other up for food.

1568
01:24:34,688 --> 01:24:36,553
Man and the animals
were vegetarian.

1569
01:24:36,555 --> 01:24:38,752
For those who don't
believe God's word,

1570
01:24:38,754 --> 01:24:40,086
they're living in the present

1571
01:24:40,088 --> 01:24:41,486
and they look around
and see death,

1572
01:24:41,488 --> 01:24:43,054
so they assume that death
has always been here.

1573
01:24:43,056 --> 01:24:44,420
When I look at the human body,

1574
01:24:44,422 --> 01:24:46,087
I see something that
looks like it was designed

1575
01:24:46,089 --> 01:24:48,420
to last forever because we
keep turning over our parts.

1576
01:24:48,422 --> 01:24:50,421
That's the way our body is.

1577
01:24:50,423 --> 01:24:52,554
We're created to live forever.

1578
01:24:52,556 --> 01:24:55,354
If your car was
operating the way we do,

1579
01:24:55,356 --> 01:24:56,621
where all the parts
kept turning over,

1580
01:24:56,623 --> 01:24:58,286
then you scratch the
paint and it heals,

1581
01:24:58,288 --> 01:24:59,220
how long would your car last?

1582
01:24:59,222 --> 01:25:01,220
It would last forever.

1583
01:25:01,222 --> 01:25:02,620
So, something went wrong.

1584
01:25:02,622 --> 01:25:05,752
And that flaw was sin
that came into the world.

1585
01:25:05,754 --> 01:25:07,686
Death came as a result
of man's disobedience.

1586
01:25:07,688 --> 01:25:09,685
So, if evolution is true,

1587
01:25:09,687 --> 01:25:12,685
you have millions of years
of death before man sinned

1588
01:25:12,687 --> 01:25:15,054
to bring about death?

1589
01:25:15,056 --> 01:25:17,320
We really have a huge
theological problem

1590
01:25:17,322 --> 01:25:19,353
if we accept those
millions of years.

1591
01:25:19,355 --> 01:25:21,219
If we accept the
millions of years,

1592
01:25:21,221 --> 01:25:23,554
then we are accepting
millions of years

1593
01:25:23,556 --> 01:25:26,486
of death and bloodshed
and disease and violence,

1594
01:25:26,488 --> 01:25:28,686
all before man
comes on the scene.

1595
01:25:28,688 --> 01:25:31,554
But the Bible says that
God created the world

1596
01:25:31,556 --> 01:25:33,353
at the beginning and
it was very good.

1597
01:25:33,355 --> 01:25:36,719
There was no death and
disease and natural disasters.

1598
01:25:36,721 --> 01:25:41,086
It was sin that brought
that death and natural evil

1599
01:25:41,088 --> 01:25:42,487
into the world.

1600
01:25:42,489 --> 01:25:45,453
What was the
world like in the beginning?

1601
01:25:45,455 --> 01:25:49,319
The Bible describes the
early Earth as paradise,

1602
01:25:49,321 --> 01:25:54,356
a lush and beautiful
world from pole to pole,

1603
01:25:55,654 --> 01:25:58,554
a world where man, animals,
and plants of all kinds

1604
01:25:58,556 --> 01:26:01,090
lived in perfect harmony,

1605
01:26:02,423 --> 01:26:07,089
a world without sickness,
disease, pain, or death.

1606
01:26:08,155 --> 01:26:09,686
This golden age of the past,

1607
01:26:09,688 --> 01:26:12,453
reported to us
accurately in the Bible,

1608
01:26:12,455 --> 01:26:16,287
is remembered in the
legends of human cultures

1609
01:26:16,289 --> 01:26:19,486
throughout our history,
where man and animals

1610
01:26:19,488 --> 01:26:24,154
grew to be larger and live
much longer than we do today.

1611
01:26:24,156 --> 01:26:27,619
Scientific discoveries
reveal fossil representatives

1612
01:26:27,621 --> 01:26:31,153
of every major kind
of plant and animal

1613
01:26:31,155 --> 01:26:33,119
that are many times larger

1614
01:26:33,121 --> 01:26:35,620
than their present-day
counterparts.

1615
01:26:35,622 --> 01:26:39,490
Fossil insects as
large as modern dogs,

1616
01:26:41,722 --> 01:26:45,286
fossil birds with
25-foot wingspans,

1617
01:26:45,288 --> 01:26:50,290
and fish as big as our
modern whales to name a few.

1618
01:26:53,355 --> 01:26:58,353
Today, Earth is not
paradise anymore.

1619
01:26:58,355 --> 01:27:03,290
So, we must ask, when
was paradise lost?

1620
01:27:04,156 --> 01:27:05,023
And why?

1621
01:27:06,289 --> 01:27:09,123
And will we ever see it again?

1622
01:27:30,288 --> 01:27:31,990
"So God created man

1623
01:27:37,155 --> 01:27:41,122
"in his own image,

1624
01:27:46,521 --> 01:27:49,556
"in the image of
God created he him.

1625
01:28:17,488 --> 01:28:20,256
"Male and female
created he them.

1626
01:28:54,822 --> 01:28:57,190
"And God blessed them,

1627
01:28:58,221 --> 01:29:00,489
"and God said unto them,

1628
01:29:01,821 --> 01:29:07,023
"'Be fruitful, and multiply,
and replenish the Earth,

1629
01:29:09,156 --> 01:29:10,689
"and subdue it.

1630
01:29:20,387 --> 01:29:25,090
"And have dominion over
the fish of the sea,

1631
01:29:25,788 --> 01:29:29,553
"and over the fowl of the air,

1632
01:29:29,555 --> 01:29:34,556
"and over every living thing
that moveth upon the earth.'

1633
01:29:37,289 --> 01:29:42,290
"And God said, 'Behold,
I have given you

1634
01:29:43,587 --> 01:29:46,752
"every herb bearing seed,
which is upon the face

1635
01:29:46,754 --> 01:29:51,220
"of all the earth,
and every tree,

1636
01:29:51,222 --> 01:29:56,086
"in the which is the fruit
of a tree-yielding seed,

1637
01:29:56,088 --> 01:29:59,289
"to you it shall be for meat.

1638
01:30:01,488 --> 01:30:04,685
"And to every
beast of the earth,

1639
01:30:04,687 --> 01:30:07,752
"and to every fowl of the air,

1640
01:30:07,754 --> 01:30:12,485
"and to every thing that
creepeth upon the earth,

1641
01:30:12,487 --> 01:30:15,455
"wherein there is life,

1642
01:30:16,754 --> 01:30:21,555
"I have given every
green herb for meat.'

1643
01:30:26,521 --> 01:30:27,688
"And it was so.

1644
01:30:51,421 --> 01:30:56,156
"And God saw everything
that he had made,

1645
01:30:59,555 --> 01:31:02,156
"and, behold, it was very good.

1646
01:31:59,121 --> 01:32:02,356
"And the evening and the
morning were the sixth day.

1647
01:32:16,487 --> 01:32:18,553
Every civilization
has a story,

1648
01:32:18,555 --> 01:32:20,686
a story of who God
is, who we are,

1649
01:32:20,688 --> 01:32:22,318
why the world is
the way that it is.

1650
01:32:22,320 --> 01:32:24,753
What the Bible offers is not
just a story but the story.

1651
01:32:24,755 --> 01:32:26,819
It tells us why we're important.

1652
01:32:26,821 --> 01:32:28,686
It also tells us why
the world is broken.

1653
01:32:28,688 --> 01:32:31,087
Why do we all get so frustrated
that things shouldn't be

1654
01:32:31,089 --> 01:32:32,620
this way when
we're at a funeral?

1655
01:32:32,622 --> 01:32:34,252
Why do we find ourselves saying,

1656
01:32:34,254 --> 01:32:36,086
"Why do bad things
happen to good people?"

1657
01:32:36,088 --> 01:32:37,753
And, "Why do good things
happen to bad people?"

1658
01:32:37,755 --> 01:32:39,685
Genesis explains that.

1659
01:32:39,687 --> 01:32:43,154
The fall was a real
spiritual and historical event.

1660
01:32:43,156 --> 01:32:47,218
Real people in history
actually violated a law of God,

1661
01:32:47,220 --> 01:32:52,154
that caused our entire race
and the creation to fall.

1662
01:32:52,156 --> 01:32:54,486
When Adam and Eve
sinned against God,

1663
01:32:54,488 --> 01:32:56,285
God cursed the ground,
he cursed the animals,

1664
01:32:56,287 --> 01:32:57,353
and he sentenced man to die.

1665
01:32:57,355 --> 01:32:58,553
Everything changed.

1666
01:32:58,555 --> 01:32:59,820
They realized that
they were naked.

1667
01:32:59,822 --> 01:33:01,420
They realized that
they were ashamed,

1668
01:33:01,422 --> 01:33:03,353
and the first thing, they
tried to cover themselves.

1669
01:33:03,355 --> 01:33:04,753
But those coverings
were not good enough.

1670
01:33:04,755 --> 01:33:06,685
The punishment
for sin was death,

1671
01:33:06,687 --> 01:33:08,753
so the solution had
to involve death.

1672
01:33:08,755 --> 01:33:10,685
At the very beginning,

1673
01:33:10,687 --> 01:33:13,218
when Adam and Eve are
making their first mistakes

1674
01:33:13,220 --> 01:33:15,286
and shame and guilt are
coming into the equation,

1675
01:33:15,288 --> 01:33:16,553
God immediately gives
them a solution.

1676
01:33:16,555 --> 01:33:18,419
"I'm gonna send someone
who's gonna bring

1677
01:33:18,421 --> 01:33:19,520
"forgiveness to this problem.

1678
01:33:19,522 --> 01:33:21,686
"In fact, I will
immediately cover you."

1679
01:33:21,688 --> 01:33:24,153
God comes and says
he covers our shame

1680
01:33:24,155 --> 01:33:26,486
and forgives our guilt.

1681
01:33:26,488 --> 01:33:30,419
The reality of the world
is the fact that God exists,

1682
01:33:30,421 --> 01:33:34,486
and that we are separated
from God by sin.

1683
01:33:34,488 --> 01:33:36,153
We sin by nature.

1684
01:33:36,155 --> 01:33:37,453
We sin by choice.

1685
01:33:37,455 --> 01:33:38,486
You can agree with
everything I say.

1686
01:33:38,488 --> 01:33:40,120
You can believe that the world

1687
01:33:40,122 --> 01:33:41,285
is only thousands of years old

1688
01:33:41,287 --> 01:33:42,485
and you can think
that God created it.

1689
01:33:42,487 --> 01:33:44,086
But if you believe
that God exists,

1690
01:33:44,088 --> 01:33:45,352
but that's as far as it goes,
you've missed the point.

1691
01:33:45,354 --> 01:33:46,353
You looked at the billboard,

1692
01:33:46,355 --> 01:33:48,385
you've seen the ad, but
you've missed the point.

1693
01:33:48,387 --> 01:33:49,552
The point is this,

1694
01:33:49,554 --> 01:33:50,787
it's about a
relationship with him,

1695
01:33:50,789 --> 01:33:52,686
restoring that
relationship with him.

1696
01:33:52,688 --> 01:33:55,353
And the God of the
universe loved us enough

1697
01:33:55,355 --> 01:33:57,753
to say, "I wanna demonstrate
my invisible attributes

1698
01:33:57,755 --> 01:34:00,420
"everywhere, so that
everyone has evidence of me,

1699
01:34:00,422 --> 01:34:02,419
"wherever you live, in
whatever time period you live,

1700
01:34:02,421 --> 01:34:04,185
"through the telescope
or the microscope."

1701
01:34:04,187 --> 01:34:06,686
And he's calling out to you to
have a relationship with him.

1702
01:34:06,688 --> 01:34:09,153
It's not good enough
to just believe in God.

1703
01:34:09,155 --> 01:34:12,352
What good does it do if you
lead somebody to believe

1704
01:34:12,354 --> 01:34:16,352
in an intelligent designer
who is vaguely defined?

1705
01:34:16,354 --> 01:34:18,219
We need to respond
to the creator

1706
01:34:18,221 --> 01:34:22,685
and he has spoken
uniquely in his word.

1707
01:34:22,687 --> 01:34:24,285
And he has told us in the Bible

1708
01:34:24,287 --> 01:34:27,685
how we can be restored to a
right relationship with God.

1709
01:34:27,687 --> 01:34:29,619
God is indeed a God of love,

1710
01:34:29,621 --> 01:34:31,685
but he is also the
righteous judge

1711
01:34:31,687 --> 01:34:34,153
and sin must be accounted for.

1712
01:34:34,155 --> 01:34:38,152
The God of the Bible is
not only merciful and kind,

1713
01:34:38,154 --> 01:34:40,219
but he is holy and just.

1714
01:34:40,221 --> 01:34:42,620
And every time we sin,
we store up his wrath

1715
01:34:42,622 --> 01:34:44,552
that will be revealed
on the Day of Judgment.

1716
01:34:44,554 --> 01:34:46,553
God has appointed a day in
which he will judge the world

1717
01:34:46,555 --> 01:34:47,485
in righteousness.

1718
01:34:47,487 --> 01:34:48,685
You are a moral creation.

1719
01:34:48,687 --> 01:34:50,753
You have to give
an account to God

1720
01:34:50,755 --> 01:34:52,386
for every idle
word you've spoken,

1721
01:34:52,388 --> 01:34:53,685
every deed done in darkness

1722
01:34:53,687 --> 01:34:55,152
will be brought
out into the light.

1723
01:34:55,154 --> 01:34:56,619
And if that happens
on Judgment Day

1724
01:34:56,621 --> 01:34:58,086
and you're found guilty,

1725
01:34:58,088 --> 01:34:59,553
the Bible says that
you're heading for Hell.

1726
01:34:59,555 --> 01:35:01,153
But look at the flood.

1727
01:35:01,155 --> 01:35:02,720
Did everybody die in the flood?

1728
01:35:02,722 --> 01:35:04,085
No.

1729
01:35:04,087 --> 01:35:05,485
Even though there was
a judgment upon sin,

1730
01:35:05,487 --> 01:35:07,185
the lord still sent
a means of salvation.

1731
01:35:07,187 --> 01:35:09,352
You know what, that's
a lesson for us today.

1732
01:35:09,354 --> 01:35:11,185
The Flood was God's judgment.

1733
01:35:11,187 --> 01:35:13,452
But at the same that
judgment was there,

1734
01:35:13,454 --> 01:35:15,453
he provided an ark of salvation.

1735
01:35:15,455 --> 01:35:17,186
For those people in that day,

1736
01:35:17,188 --> 01:35:19,218
there was a means of escape.

1737
01:35:19,220 --> 01:35:21,685
Everybody on board
that boat was spared.

1738
01:35:21,687 --> 01:35:23,787
Those not on board
the boat perished.

1739
01:35:23,789 --> 01:35:26,219
The same in our day,

1740
01:35:26,221 --> 01:35:28,752
as God provides for us
an Ark of salvation.

1741
01:35:28,754 --> 01:35:30,553
His name is Jesus Christ.

1742
01:35:30,555 --> 01:35:33,153
God loves us and He has
provided a way of salvation,

1743
01:35:33,155 --> 01:35:35,620
to the point that he sent
his own son into the world

1744
01:35:35,622 --> 01:35:40,622
to satisfy God's condition of
death as a penalty for sin.

1745
01:35:41,755 --> 01:35:43,620
He took the penalty
of death upon himself

1746
01:35:43,622 --> 01:35:45,619
that should have been ours

1747
01:35:45,621 --> 01:35:50,086
and paid it in full,
by himself, for us.

1748
01:35:50,088 --> 01:35:52,252
He wants you to come to
him and find forgiveness.

1749
01:35:52,254 --> 01:35:54,085
That forgiveness was so costly

1750
01:35:54,087 --> 01:35:56,653
that he came to Earth and
put on matter himself,

1751
01:35:56,655 --> 01:35:58,820
and allowed Himself
to be crucified.

1752
01:35:58,822 --> 01:36:01,152
A crown to be pushed
upon his head.

1753
01:36:01,154 --> 01:36:03,753
Nails like railroad spikes
were pounded into his wrists

1754
01:36:03,755 --> 01:36:05,118
and into his feet.

1755
01:36:05,120 --> 01:36:06,353
And he did that not
because he had to.

1756
01:36:06,355 --> 01:36:08,352
He did that because
he loved you.

1757
01:36:08,354 --> 01:36:09,619
And he knew that if he didn't,

1758
01:36:09,621 --> 01:36:11,553
if there was any other way...

1759
01:36:11,555 --> 01:36:14,353
If there was any other
way, if it wasn't necessary,

1760
01:36:14,355 --> 01:36:17,185
then God would not have
put through his only son.

1761
01:36:17,187 --> 01:36:19,620
He wouldn't have
turned his back on him

1762
01:36:19,622 --> 01:36:22,086
and allowed the
sin of all humans,

1763
01:36:22,088 --> 01:36:24,053
past, present, and future,

1764
01:36:24,055 --> 01:36:27,420
to be laid upon his
son as the scapegoat.

1765
01:36:27,422 --> 01:36:28,620
He had to go to the cross.

1766
01:36:28,622 --> 01:36:29,820
He had to be crucified.

1767
01:36:29,822 --> 01:36:32,353
He had to die one of
the most grueling deaths

1768
01:36:32,355 --> 01:36:35,118
known in the history of mankind.

1769
01:36:35,120 --> 01:36:38,620
And so, Jesus died for
your sins and my sins

1770
01:36:38,622 --> 01:36:40,286
and the sins of the whole world.

1771
01:36:40,288 --> 01:36:41,620
We need Jesus Christ.

1772
01:36:41,622 --> 01:36:45,153
He is the solution to
the problem of sin.

1773
01:36:45,155 --> 01:36:46,753
That is indeed the gospel.

1774
01:36:46,755 --> 01:36:49,153
That is indeed the good news.

1775
01:36:49,155 --> 01:36:50,486
But it's only good news

1776
01:36:50,488 --> 01:36:53,352
because it's based on
the bad news in Genesis

1777
01:36:53,354 --> 01:36:55,152
because of what
Adam and Eve did.

1778
01:36:55,154 --> 01:36:57,153
And because we're all one race,

1779
01:36:57,155 --> 01:36:58,353
because we're all
descendants of them,

1780
01:36:58,355 --> 01:37:02,153
we're all born with that sin
nature, that tendency to sin.

1781
01:37:02,155 --> 01:37:04,519
If there wasn't
an original sin,

1782
01:37:04,521 --> 01:37:08,152
if we aren't born into sin
and in need of a savior,

1783
01:37:08,154 --> 01:37:09,419
if we are born okay,

1784
01:37:09,421 --> 01:37:11,520
then maybe we could just be good

1785
01:37:11,522 --> 01:37:13,553
and wouldn't need
Jesus to die for us.

1786
01:37:13,555 --> 01:37:15,218
But that's just not reality.

1787
01:37:15,220 --> 01:37:16,552
It's not good theology.

1788
01:37:16,554 --> 01:37:17,553
It isn't even good logic.

1789
01:37:17,555 --> 01:37:20,619
Just as God made one
man who brought death,

1790
01:37:20,621 --> 01:37:22,286
Jesus is the new
man who brings life.

1791
01:37:22,288 --> 01:37:24,352
Just as there was an
ark, and in that ark

1792
01:37:24,354 --> 01:37:26,286
you find that there's one way in

1793
01:37:26,288 --> 01:37:28,619
and that one way is
the way of deliverance

1794
01:37:28,621 --> 01:37:30,086
that will save
you from judgment.

1795
01:37:30,088 --> 01:37:31,553
And so too, Jesus
comes and says,

1796
01:37:31,555 --> 01:37:33,352
"I am the way and the
truth and the life.

1797
01:37:33,354 --> 01:37:35,652
"And by coming to me, there
is a future judgment coming,

1798
01:37:35,654 --> 01:37:37,552
"But I have made a way
to rescue you from that."

1799
01:37:37,554 --> 01:37:39,286
Just as Abraham had
only one begotten son

1800
01:37:39,288 --> 01:37:41,419
whom he was willing
to sacrifice,

1801
01:37:41,421 --> 01:37:43,153
Jesus is the only begotten son

1802
01:37:43,155 --> 01:37:44,420
that our heavenly father
was willing to sacrifice.

1803
01:37:44,422 --> 01:37:47,086
And then there's Joseph
who was rejected,

1804
01:37:47,088 --> 01:37:49,419
thrown into the pit,
thought to be dead,

1805
01:37:49,421 --> 01:37:50,753
later found resurrected.

1806
01:37:50,755 --> 01:37:52,420
Sounds a lot like someone
in the New Testament!

1807
01:37:52,422 --> 01:37:53,620
And then we move into the Exodus

1808
01:37:53,622 --> 01:37:55,186
and we see that he is
the ultimate Deliverer,

1809
01:37:55,188 --> 01:37:56,219
He's the ultimate Passover,

1810
01:37:56,221 --> 01:37:57,620
he's the ultimate lawgiver.

1811
01:37:57,622 --> 01:38:00,453
Jesus is all over Genesis

1812
01:38:00,455 --> 01:38:02,085
and the deeper you look into it,

1813
01:38:02,087 --> 01:38:04,153
the more you find
that the whole book

1814
01:38:04,155 --> 01:38:05,485
points directly to him.

1815
01:38:05,487 --> 01:38:07,486
And so right here in
Genesis, chapter one,

1816
01:38:07,488 --> 01:38:10,486
it's all about Jesus Christ.

1817
01:38:10,488 --> 01:38:12,652
We call Jesus Christ
himself the word.

1818
01:38:12,654 --> 01:38:14,420
He is the word of God.

1819
01:38:14,422 --> 01:38:16,553
He is the way by
which we know God.

1820
01:38:16,555 --> 01:38:19,653
Who has ever had his
name used as a cuss word?

1821
01:38:19,655 --> 01:38:22,419
Nobody, except Jesus Christ.

1822
01:38:22,421 --> 01:38:24,085
He said, "The world hates me

1823
01:38:24,087 --> 01:38:28,053
"because I testify of its
deeds, that they are evil."

1824
01:38:28,055 --> 01:38:29,585
And so, we use his
name in blasphemy,

1825
01:38:29,587 --> 01:38:31,218
the name that is
above all names.

1826
01:38:31,220 --> 01:38:32,586
We lust, we lie, we steal.

1827
01:38:32,588 --> 01:38:34,686
That's why we have suffering,
disease, pain, and death.

1828
01:38:34,688 --> 01:38:37,553
But, it gives great hope for
this fallen creations in death

1829
01:38:37,555 --> 01:38:41,219
that God invaded this
world and through the cross

1830
01:38:41,221 --> 01:38:44,086
opened up the doors of
everlasting life for humanity.

1831
01:38:44,088 --> 01:38:46,786
Jesus Christ is the son
of God who is infinite.

1832
01:38:46,788 --> 01:38:50,353
He became a man and he died
the infinite punishment

1833
01:38:50,355 --> 01:38:51,553
that we all deserve.

1834
01:38:51,555 --> 01:38:52,819
The infinite son took
the infinite punishment

1835
01:38:52,821 --> 01:38:54,353
from the infinite father,

1836
01:38:54,355 --> 01:38:56,085
and that satisfied
the wrath of God.

1837
01:38:56,087 --> 01:38:59,286
And the Lord offers the free
gift of salvation as a result.

1838
01:38:59,288 --> 01:39:00,452
And that's the God who I love.

1839
01:39:00,454 --> 01:39:01,819
That's the God whom
I want to know.

1840
01:39:01,821 --> 01:39:03,685
And I want to know him
because he loved me enough

1841
01:39:03,687 --> 01:39:05,218
not just to sort of
watch from a distance

1842
01:39:05,220 --> 01:39:06,453
and love everybody.

1843
01:39:06,455 --> 01:39:08,185
He loved me enough
to get in the game

1844
01:39:08,187 --> 01:39:09,353
and to die in my behalf.

1845
01:39:09,355 --> 01:39:11,218
And that is the
story of the Bible.

1846
01:39:11,220 --> 01:39:13,553
Jesus Christ, who
walked the Earth as a man,

1847
01:39:13,555 --> 01:39:15,819
who loved us enough
to take upon himself

1848
01:39:15,821 --> 01:39:18,753
our punishment, to go to
the cross, to taste death,

1849
01:39:18,755 --> 01:39:20,153
to shed his blood

1850
01:39:20,155 --> 01:39:22,252
that we could be with
him in heaven forever.

1851
01:39:22,254 --> 01:39:25,619
Those who reject him spend
eternity separated from God.

1852
01:39:25,621 --> 01:39:28,386
What a horror
that any human being

1853
01:39:28,388 --> 01:39:31,420
could end up in a terrible
place, damned in Hell.

1854
01:39:31,422 --> 01:39:33,552
And so, we plead
with people and say,

1855
01:39:33,554 --> 01:39:35,318
"Look, God is rich in mercy

1856
01:39:35,320 --> 01:39:37,753
"and He provided a
savior in Jesus Christ!

1857
01:39:37,755 --> 01:39:41,553
"God became a human being and
suffered and died on a cross

1858
01:39:41,555 --> 01:39:43,453
"to take the punishment
for the sin of the world.

1859
01:39:43,455 --> 01:39:46,485
"We broke God's law and
Jesus paid our fine."

1860
01:39:46,487 --> 01:39:47,685
It's as simple as that.

1861
01:39:47,687 --> 01:39:49,785
If someone pays your
fine, the judge can say,

1862
01:39:49,787 --> 01:39:50,819
"You're out of here.

1863
01:39:50,821 --> 01:39:52,485
"Your case is dismissed!"

1864
01:39:52,487 --> 01:39:54,352
That is what God can
do for you and I.

1865
01:39:54,354 --> 01:39:56,619
Our sins can be washed away!

1866
01:39:56,621 --> 01:39:58,420
God can commute
our death sentence

1867
01:39:58,422 --> 01:40:00,552
and let us live forever

1868
01:40:00,554 --> 01:40:02,452
because of the suffering,
death, and the resurrection

1869
01:40:02,454 --> 01:40:03,686
of Jesus Christ.

1870
01:40:03,688 --> 01:40:05,586
What we are commanded to
do is repent of our sins

1871
01:40:05,588 --> 01:40:08,585
and trust alone in Jesus.

1872
01:40:08,587 --> 01:40:11,553
Anyone who would repent,
who would turn from their sin,

1873
01:40:11,555 --> 01:40:13,585
who would say,
"God, I'm a sinner.

1874
01:40:13,587 --> 01:40:14,818
"I deserve Your judgment,

1875
01:40:14,820 --> 01:40:19,086
"but I put my trust in Jesus
Christ as my Lord and Savior."

1876
01:40:19,088 --> 01:40:22,552
That person can be forgiven
and restored to a right

1877
01:40:22,554 --> 01:40:24,620
relationship with the creator.

1878
01:40:24,622 --> 01:40:27,485
We have to believe in
the true and living God

1879
01:40:27,487 --> 01:40:30,253
who is the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1880
01:40:30,255 --> 01:40:34,755
And we need to trust in
him for our salvation.

1881
