- 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,

- "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
- 01:43:29,844 --> 01:43:34,844
