How can you not believe 18 00:02:49,361 --> 00:02:52,194 that somebody designed all of this? 19 00:03:01,293 --> 00:03:04,625 Obviously, the genius of God's creative hand 20 00:03:04,627 --> 00:03:09,158 screams of the existence of an intelligent designer. 21 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,625 The Bible begins with a statement that is so simple 22 00:05:42,627 --> 00:05:44,158 a child can understand it, 23 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,691 yet so inexhaustibly profound, 24 00:05:46,693 --> 00:05:50,690 "In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth." 25 00:05:50,692 --> 00:05:53,425 You see, this argument over God's existence, 26 00:05:53,427 --> 00:05:55,490 or creation versus evolution, 27 00:05:55,492 --> 00:05:57,690 is not so much a religious argument, 28 00:05:57,692 --> 00:06:00,159 rather, it is an ontological argument, 29 00:06:00,161 --> 00:06:05,092 that is, an argument concerning the nature of reality. 30 00:06:05,094 --> 00:06:06,825 It's not science versus religion. 31 00:06:06,827 --> 00:06:08,358 It's a worldview clash. 32 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,358 Two different views of origins 33 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,691 resulting in two totally different worldviews that clash. 34 00:06:13,693 --> 00:06:16,292 People are battling over two different histories. 35 00:06:16,294 --> 00:06:18,825 You either trust God, or you trust man. 36 00:06:18,827 --> 00:06:21,092 It really becomes an issue of authority. 37 00:06:21,094 --> 00:06:22,490 Who is the authority? 38 00:06:22,492 --> 00:06:25,259 Is it God in his Word, or is it man? 39 00:06:25,261 --> 00:06:27,824 Really, we only have two possibilities. 40 00:06:27,826 --> 00:06:32,158 Either the universe, and we, came about through, 41 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,424 a purely natural, purely physical process, 42 00:06:35,426 --> 00:06:39,424 we just happened, or somebody made us. 43 00:06:39,426 --> 00:06:42,292 I was really taught that there was a big bang, 44 00:06:42,294 --> 00:06:44,691 there were millions of years, man slowly evolved. 45 00:06:44,693 --> 00:06:47,424 Evolution, atheistic evolution, big bang, 46 00:06:47,426 --> 00:06:48,625 millions of years. 47 00:06:48,627 --> 00:06:51,192 If we simply happened, 48 00:06:51,194 --> 00:06:53,691 then there really is no right or wrong. 49 00:06:53,693 --> 00:06:56,792 We could really live our lives the way we wished to, 50 00:06:56,794 --> 00:06:58,757 and that's of huge consequence. 51 00:06:58,759 --> 00:07:01,225 Evolution has a lot of unintended consequences 52 00:07:01,227 --> 00:07:02,757 that I'm not sure everyone has thought about. 53 00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:04,091 They relate to ethics. 54 00:07:04,093 --> 00:07:05,291 They relate to whether or not the world 55 00:07:05,293 --> 00:07:06,491 is supposed to be good. 56 00:07:06,493 --> 00:07:08,691 When you find yourself struggling with evil, 57 00:07:08,693 --> 00:07:10,324 you ought to ask yourself. 58 00:07:10,326 --> 00:07:11,558 "Well, I thought the world was supposed to be this way? 59 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,059 "If evolution is true, then get used to it." 60 00:07:14,061 --> 00:07:16,457 You see if evolution is true, who am I? 61 00:07:16,459 --> 00:07:18,091 You're nothing important. 62 00:07:18,093 --> 00:07:19,425 You're just a piece of protoplasm 63 00:07:19,427 --> 00:07:21,558 that washed up from the cosmic shores. 64 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,091 Man's just an animal. 65 00:07:23,093 --> 00:07:24,757 We're Mother Nature's science project. 66 00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:26,225 Why am I here? 67 00:07:26,227 --> 00:07:28,225 If evolution is true, 68 00:07:28,227 --> 00:07:30,691 if nature is all there is, there's no real purpose. 69 00:07:30,693 --> 00:07:32,424 Might as well do whatever you feel like. 70 00:07:32,426 --> 00:07:34,224 If it feels good, do it! 71 00:07:34,226 --> 00:07:36,224 You have no meaning. 72 00:07:36,226 --> 00:07:38,425 There's no reason for you to exist. 73 00:07:38,427 --> 00:07:40,091 Where am I going when I die? 74 00:07:40,093 --> 00:07:42,158 You're gonna go back into the ground 75 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,159 and that is gonna be it. 76 00:07:43,161 --> 00:07:44,357 The lights are turned out. 77 00:07:44,359 --> 00:07:48,058 You die and become part of nothingness. 78 00:07:48,060 --> 00:07:50,425 You're worthless. 79 00:07:50,427 --> 00:07:52,558 But if there is a God, 80 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,290 in particular the God of the Bible, 81 00:07:54,292 --> 00:07:58,425 then the world or reality, is altogether different. 82 00:07:58,427 --> 00:08:00,159 I thought to believe in the Bible 83 00:08:00,161 --> 00:08:01,557 meant you had to reject science. 84 00:08:01,559 --> 00:08:03,557 I thought I had to take a mental lobotomy 85 00:08:03,559 --> 00:08:05,425 in order to start believing the Bible. 86 00:08:05,427 --> 00:08:07,224 We hear the mantra. 87 00:08:07,226 --> 00:08:09,092 "All the scientists believe in evolution." 88 00:08:09,094 --> 00:08:11,357 Some people today want to insist 89 00:08:11,359 --> 00:08:13,825 that you can't do science without believing in evolution. 90 00:08:13,827 --> 00:08:16,491 In other words, if you are a Creationist, 91 00:08:16,493 --> 00:08:19,159 you are not classed as a scientist. 92 00:08:19,161 --> 00:08:22,490 There are thousands of PhD scientists all over the world 93 00:08:22,492 --> 00:08:24,490 who don't accept evolution, 94 00:08:24,492 --> 00:08:27,290 and many of them don't accept the millions of years. 95 00:08:27,292 --> 00:08:28,724 I do have four degrees. 96 00:08:28,726 --> 00:08:31,724 Most evolutionists I've met have only three. 97 00:08:31,726 --> 00:08:34,757 There is a small movement in the evolutionist community 98 00:08:34,759 --> 00:08:37,225 to try to get the doctoral degrees rescinded 99 00:08:37,227 --> 00:08:39,224 from all professing creationists. 100 00:08:39,226 --> 00:08:40,424 That's never gonna happen, 101 00:08:40,426 --> 00:08:42,091 but the fact that someone is trying 102 00:08:42,093 --> 00:08:44,525 speaks of the nature of the debate. 103 00:08:44,527 --> 00:08:49,159 The secularists and the atheists took control of science. 104 00:08:49,161 --> 00:08:51,291 They took control of all the science journals 105 00:08:51,293 --> 00:08:53,491 and all the university science programs. 106 00:08:53,493 --> 00:08:54,690 They have taken over the museums. 107 00:08:54,692 --> 00:08:56,324 They have taken over the state schools. 108 00:08:56,326 --> 00:08:57,724 They have taken over the universities. 109 00:08:57,726 --> 00:09:00,825 The textbooks, the public schools, in every country. 110 00:09:00,827 --> 00:09:02,557 The secularists really have control 111 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,424 of the educational system and they want their religion 112 00:09:05,426 --> 00:09:07,624 of secularism, of atheism, of naturalism 113 00:09:07,626 --> 00:09:10,357 forced upon the students. 114 00:09:10,359 --> 00:09:12,124 They use political pressure. 115 00:09:12,126 --> 00:09:13,824 They use scare tactics. 116 00:09:13,826 --> 00:09:15,258 They use the ACLU. 117 00:09:15,260 --> 00:09:17,624 They will intimidate school districts 118 00:09:17,626 --> 00:09:19,691 and take away their autonomy 119 00:09:19,693 --> 00:09:21,825 that is given to them by the constitution. 120 00:09:21,827 --> 00:09:23,424 And if that's what they have to do, 121 00:09:23,426 --> 00:09:26,624 if you need laws to protect your scientific theory 122 00:09:26,626 --> 00:09:30,490 from criticism, what does that tell you about your theory? 123 00:09:30,492 --> 00:09:33,223 In America, there is no separation of Church and State 124 00:09:33,225 --> 00:09:36,458 because the State is forcing a religion on generations 125 00:09:36,460 --> 00:09:38,725 of kids, and that is that everything can be explained 126 00:09:38,727 --> 00:09:40,825 by natural processes only. 127 00:09:40,827 --> 00:09:42,558 They eliminate the supernatural. 128 00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:43,490 That is a religion. 129 00:09:43,492 --> 00:09:45,158 It is a religion of atheism. 130 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,690 They hijack science, and they convince the whole world 131 00:09:47,692 --> 00:09:51,391 that science is only possible within an atheistic worldview. 132 00:09:51,393 --> 00:09:54,758 Even though modern science was born in the womb 133 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,357 of the Christian worldview. 134 00:09:56,359 --> 00:09:58,191 Do you know that science was pretty much invented 135 00:09:58,193 --> 00:09:59,358 by people of faith? 136 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,690 Think of Isaac Newton. 137 00:10:00,692 --> 00:10:02,758 I think he needs a better PR agent. 138 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,091 All we know is that he had an apple fall 139 00:10:04,093 --> 00:10:05,324 on his head and discovered gravity. 140 00:10:05,326 --> 00:10:06,491 He was always trying to do mathematical formulas 141 00:10:06,493 --> 00:10:08,358 and show that the idea of math and reason 142 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,625 came directly from a creator who invented the world. 143 00:10:10,627 --> 00:10:13,058 Isaac Newton, Boyle, Pasteur, Faraday. 144 00:10:13,060 --> 00:10:15,357 These guys were Bible-believing Christians. 145 00:10:15,359 --> 00:10:17,224 Johannes Kepler, who pretty much invented 146 00:10:17,226 --> 00:10:19,091 modern astronomy, he didn't see any problem 147 00:10:19,093 --> 00:10:20,690 between science and the scriptures. 148 00:10:20,692 --> 00:10:23,224 Most of the early scientists were not materialists. 149 00:10:23,226 --> 00:10:24,557 Most of the early scientists 150 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,558 were theists who believed that there was a God 151 00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:28,224 who had created everything 152 00:10:28,226 --> 00:10:31,290 and the reason that we could understand the created world 153 00:10:31,292 --> 00:10:33,490 was that there was a mind, an intelligence, 154 00:10:33,492 --> 00:10:35,223 behind the material world. 155 00:10:35,225 --> 00:10:38,224 We need to acknowledge that there is a creator God 156 00:10:38,226 --> 00:10:40,059 who put in place an orderly universe 157 00:10:40,061 --> 00:10:42,324 to allow us to understand science. 158 00:10:42,326 --> 00:10:44,092 What makes more sense. 159 00:10:44,094 --> 00:10:46,691 A rational God who created a rational world 160 00:10:46,693 --> 00:10:49,757 that can be studied rationally, or an irrational, 161 00:10:49,759 --> 00:10:53,157 meaningless process created a rational world 162 00:10:53,159 --> 00:10:55,158 that can be studied rationally? 163 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,392 It doesn't even make sense. 164 00:10:56,394 --> 00:10:59,357 In a secularized world where there is no right and wrong, 165 00:10:59,359 --> 00:11:01,358 everything just exploded and this is what we have? 166 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,190 Why would we have all these beautiful laws 167 00:11:03,192 --> 00:11:05,290 like F=ma or E=mc squared? 168 00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:08,290 In a secular worldview with things like big bang, 169 00:11:08,292 --> 00:11:09,757 evolution, millions of years, origin of life, 170 00:11:09,759 --> 00:11:11,291 those are not scientific. 171 00:11:11,293 --> 00:11:13,091 A lot of people have been duped into believing 172 00:11:13,093 --> 00:11:14,491 that they are, but they're not. 173 00:11:14,493 --> 00:11:17,223 For example, is big bang observable and repeatable? 174 00:11:17,225 --> 00:11:18,558 No. 175 00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:19,558 Is millions of years observable and repeatable? 176 00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:20,424 No. 177 00:11:20,426 --> 00:11:21,624 Origin of life. 178 00:11:21,626 --> 00:11:23,091 Has anybody ever made life from non-life? 179 00:11:23,093 --> 00:11:24,258 No. 180 00:11:24,260 --> 00:11:26,090 Evolution is not scientific fact. 181 00:11:26,092 --> 00:11:28,424 The millions of years is not scientific fact. 182 00:11:28,426 --> 00:11:31,757 Evolution and millions of years is the greatest myth 183 00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:34,158 ever forced on the minds of men. 184 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,624 The reason that everybody believes it is because 185 00:11:36,626 --> 00:11:38,357 they have been brainwashed. 186 00:11:38,359 --> 00:11:40,224 Are we gonna believe man, who wasn't there 187 00:11:40,226 --> 00:11:42,424 during the supposed millions and millions of years 188 00:11:42,426 --> 00:11:44,323 of Earth's history, and who really just has 189 00:11:44,325 --> 00:11:46,724 to make up stories about what happened in the past? 190 00:11:46,726 --> 00:11:49,158 When you start buying into evolution, millions of years, 191 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,458 and some of those ideas, as soon as you've done that, 192 00:11:51,460 --> 00:11:52,690 you've opened the door to say, 193 00:11:52,692 --> 00:11:54,658 "You don't have to trust the Bible completely." 194 00:11:54,660 --> 00:11:58,091 If you can't believe Genesis one through 12, 195 00:11:58,093 --> 00:12:00,757 why should you believe Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? 196 00:12:00,759 --> 00:12:03,091 That is a logical incoherence. 197 00:12:03,093 --> 00:12:06,657 Now you're picking and choosing which scriptures to believe. 198 00:12:06,659 --> 00:12:10,324 Hypocrisy in the Church is the greatest deterrent 199 00:12:10,326 --> 00:12:12,824 to turning people to Christ and to confidence 200 00:12:12,826 --> 00:12:16,757 in the written word, from Genesis to Revelation. 201 00:12:16,759 --> 00:12:19,490 Genesis is so important because it's the foundation 202 00:12:19,492 --> 00:12:24,224 of who God is, who we are, why is the world broken? 203 00:12:24,226 --> 00:12:25,690 Why do bad things happen to good people? 204 00:12:25,692 --> 00:12:27,691 And why do good things sometimes happen to bad people? 205 00:12:27,693 --> 00:12:29,223 And does anyone have a fix? 206 00:12:29,225 --> 00:12:31,357 All this gets related to us in Genesis. 207 00:12:31,359 --> 00:12:34,558 Genesis is giving us the true history of the world. 208 00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:36,124 The scientific evidence 209 00:12:36,126 --> 00:12:38,291 does not support evolution and millions of years. 210 00:12:38,293 --> 00:12:40,290 It confirms what Genesis says, 211 00:12:40,292 --> 00:12:43,258 about a flood, about the age of the Earth. 212 00:12:43,260 --> 00:12:45,357 God's Word is true from the very first verse. 213 00:12:45,359 --> 00:12:48,624 And we need to, in this debate of creation versus evolution, 214 00:12:48,626 --> 00:12:51,557 always be standing on the truth of God's Word. 215 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,757 Stand firm on the authority of the Word of God, 216 00:12:53,759 --> 00:12:56,160 starting with the very first verse. 217 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:38,160 "In the beginning God created the heaven 218 00:13:41,659 --> 00:13:42,626 "and the earth. 219 00:13:45,827 --> 00:13:50,760 "And the earth was without form, and void, and 220 00:13:52,359 --> 00:13:56,293 "darkness was upon the face of the deep. 221 00:13:57,692 --> 00:14:02,426 "And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 222 00:14:05,759 --> 00:14:10,994 "And God said, 'Let there be light.' 223 00:14:15,493 --> 00:14:17,361 "And there was light. 224 00:14:21,292 --> 00:14:26,326 "And God saw the light, that it was good. 225 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,626 "And God divided the light from the darkness. 226 00:14:35,359 --> 00:14:38,760 "And God called the light day, 227 00:14:40,426 --> 00:14:44,094 "and the darkness he called night. 228 00:14:45,426 --> 00:14:50,160 "And the evening and the morning were the first day. 229 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,426 "And God said, 'Let there be a firmament 230 00:15:10,325 --> 00:15:13,026 "in the midst of the waters, ' 231 00:15:18,759 --> 00:15:23,760 "and let it divide the waters from the waters. 232 00:15:26,559 --> 00:15:30,390 "And God made the firmament, 233 00:15:30,392 --> 00:15:33,091 "and divided the waters 234 00:15:33,093 --> 00:15:35,761 "which were under the firmament 235 00:15:37,292 --> 00:15:41,593 "from the waters which were above the firmament." 236 00:15:43,426 --> 00:15:45,059 "And it was so. 237 00:15:47,093 --> 00:15:50,427 "And God called the firmament Heaven. 238 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,761 "And the evening and the morning were the second day. 239 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:07,194 "And God said, 'Let the waters under the heaven 240 00:16:08,292 --> 00:16:13,226 "be gathered together unto one place, 241 00:16:16,627 --> 00:16:19,627 "and let the dry land appear.' 242 00:17:01,759 --> 00:17:03,127 "And it was so. 243 00:17:10,093 --> 00:17:13,060 "And God called the dry land Earth, 244 00:17:33,092 --> 00:17:38,094 "and the gathering together of the waters called he seas. 245 00:17:47,726 --> 00:17:50,327 "And God saw that it was good. 246 00:18:02,225 --> 00:18:06,227 "And God said, 'Let the earth bring forth grass, 247 00:18:09,259 --> 00:18:14,260 "the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit 248 00:18:15,626 --> 00:18:20,226 "after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth.' 249 00:18:27,758 --> 00:18:29,361 "And it was so. 250 00:18:36,492 --> 00:18:39,558 "And the earth brought forth grass, 251 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,260 "and herb yielding seed after his kind, 252 00:18:47,427 --> 00:18:52,461 "and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, 253 00:18:53,826 --> 00:18:55,160 "after his kind. 254 00:19:09,292 --> 00:19:11,693 "And God saw that it was good. 255 00:19:37,293 --> 00:19:42,294 "And the evening and the morning were the third day." 256 00:19:57,292 --> 00:19:59,090 When we read the first chapter of the Torah, 257 00:19:59,092 --> 00:20:01,623 we have to ask, what kind of text is this? 258 00:20:01,625 --> 00:20:03,425 What type of literature is this? 259 00:20:03,427 --> 00:20:05,557 Is Genesis supposed to be poetry? 260 00:20:05,559 --> 00:20:08,624 Is it supposed to be an allegory? 261 00:20:08,626 --> 00:20:10,689 Don't forget that Genesis is written 262 00:20:10,691 --> 00:20:15,491 in historical narrative Hebrew, not in lyrical poetic form. 263 00:20:15,493 --> 00:20:18,490 It is written in historical style, 264 00:20:18,492 --> 00:20:19,790 and it's meant to be taken... 265 00:20:19,792 --> 00:20:22,390 As straightforward, literal history. 266 00:20:22,392 --> 00:20:26,157 The Bible clearly says that God created in six literal days, 267 00:20:26,159 --> 00:20:29,091 just like our days, about 6000 years ago. 268 00:20:29,093 --> 00:20:32,491 Jesus Christ himself referred to Genesis 269 00:20:32,493 --> 00:20:33,823 on multiple occasions, 270 00:20:33,825 --> 00:20:36,624 each time referring to Genesis as real history. 271 00:20:36,626 --> 00:20:39,556 There are some people who approach the biblical text today 272 00:20:39,558 --> 00:20:41,091 and they view it through the lens 273 00:20:41,093 --> 00:20:43,224 of modern scientific interpretations. 274 00:20:43,226 --> 00:20:46,157 For example, they try to insert millions of years 275 00:20:46,159 --> 00:20:48,223 in between the first two verses of scripture. 276 00:20:48,225 --> 00:20:51,689 Now in order to add millions of years in between verse one 277 00:20:51,691 --> 00:20:54,223 and verse two, you have to deal with the grammar 278 00:20:54,225 --> 00:20:55,690 of the text. 279 00:20:55,692 --> 00:20:58,158 The Hebrew is very clear in the syntax and grammar. 280 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,123 Now, people can say they don't believe it, 281 00:21:00,125 --> 00:21:03,157 but no one can say that the Hebrew word yom 282 00:21:03,159 --> 00:21:07,590 doesn't mean a 24-hour day right there where it says a day, 283 00:21:07,592 --> 00:21:11,190 and then it says day one, day two, 284 00:21:11,192 --> 00:21:13,824 and at the end, the fifth day and the sixth day. 285 00:21:13,826 --> 00:21:15,723 Each of those days was an ordinary, 286 00:21:15,725 --> 00:21:18,224 approximately 24-hour day. 287 00:21:18,226 --> 00:21:19,623 In fact, that is why in Exodus 20:11 288 00:21:19,625 --> 00:21:21,689 God said he made everything in six days 289 00:21:21,691 --> 00:21:24,490 and rested for one, as a basis for the seven-day week. 290 00:21:24,492 --> 00:21:26,258 You see it actually comes from the Bible. 291 00:21:26,260 --> 00:21:27,489 It doesn't come from any other worldview. 292 00:21:27,491 --> 00:21:28,657 It doesn't come from any other religion. 293 00:21:28,659 --> 00:21:30,490 It doesn't come from astronomical science. 294 00:21:30,492 --> 00:21:33,090 We have this seven-day cycle we call the week, 295 00:21:33,092 --> 00:21:36,690 and there is no astronomical basis for this. 296 00:21:36,692 --> 00:21:40,323 It's something that is fairly universal among cultures, 297 00:21:40,325 --> 00:21:43,690 but we find it's given to us in the first few chapters 298 00:21:43,692 --> 00:21:45,090 of Genesis. 299 00:21:45,092 --> 00:21:46,091 You have the six days of Creation. 300 00:21:46,093 --> 00:21:47,724 On the seventh day, God rested. 301 00:21:47,726 --> 00:21:49,291 God made everything in six days. 302 00:21:49,293 --> 00:21:50,490 He rested for one. 303 00:21:50,492 --> 00:21:51,456 That is why we have a seven-day week, 304 00:21:51,458 --> 00:21:52,624 that's where it comes from. 305 00:21:52,626 --> 00:21:54,357 We don't have seven millions of years weeks, 306 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:55,757 or something like that! 307 00:21:55,759 --> 00:21:59,425 There is no way to harmonize evolution 308 00:21:59,427 --> 00:22:01,757 and millions of years with Genesis 1. 309 00:22:01,759 --> 00:22:04,423 If you try to make that order of the events 310 00:22:04,425 --> 00:22:07,358 of the Creation Week match with evolutionary principles, 311 00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:08,523 it can't. 312 00:22:08,525 --> 00:22:10,157 If the days were really bazillions of years, 313 00:22:10,159 --> 00:22:14,157 how could the plants go for a million years with no sun? 314 00:22:14,159 --> 00:22:17,457 They might have lasted overnight, like the Bible says, 315 00:22:17,459 --> 00:22:18,689 but not for a million years! 316 00:22:18,691 --> 00:22:20,557 The plants could survive just fine 317 00:22:20,559 --> 00:22:22,557 for twelve hours without sunlight. 318 00:22:22,559 --> 00:22:24,489 If Genesis 1 was just written by Moses 319 00:22:24,491 --> 00:22:27,791 out of his own imagination, he would never think 320 00:22:27,793 --> 00:22:31,490 to put things in the order that they are in, 321 00:22:31,492 --> 00:22:34,258 completely contradictory to the order 322 00:22:34,260 --> 00:22:36,291 in which the evolutionists say things happened. 323 00:22:36,293 --> 00:22:38,823 They are in that order because that's the order 324 00:22:38,825 --> 00:22:40,690 in which God actually created, 325 00:22:40,692 --> 00:22:43,357 knowing that people would come along 326 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,291 and devise their own creation myths 327 00:22:45,293 --> 00:22:48,090 and that one day there would be evolutionists 328 00:22:48,092 --> 00:22:50,159 with their creation myth. 329 00:23:06,125 --> 00:23:08,490 In 1859, Charles Darwin published 330 00:23:08,492 --> 00:23:11,624 On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection 331 00:23:11,626 --> 00:23:14,357 or the Preservation of Favoured Races 332 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,424 in the Struggle for Life, 333 00:23:16,426 --> 00:23:19,157 a book that proposed a new theory 334 00:23:19,159 --> 00:23:22,423 on how life came to be on planet Earth. 335 00:23:22,425 --> 00:23:25,091 This theory would contradict the Bible, 336 00:23:25,093 --> 00:23:28,058 which had been the predominant, trusted source 337 00:23:28,060 --> 00:23:30,757 of ancient history in the West up until that time. 338 00:23:30,759 --> 00:23:34,291 Darwin was strongly influenced by Charles Lyell's 339 00:23:34,293 --> 00:23:35,689 The Principles of Geology. 340 00:23:35,691 --> 00:23:38,690 Lyell, also influenced by others, 341 00:23:38,692 --> 00:23:40,489 reinterpreted geologic history 342 00:23:40,491 --> 00:23:44,158 through gradual processes over millions of years, 343 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,090 a concept known as uniformitarianism. 344 00:23:47,092 --> 00:23:50,390 This view was contrary to catastrophism, 345 00:23:50,392 --> 00:23:53,823 which teaches that Noah's flood can explain 346 00:23:53,825 --> 00:23:56,823 much of what we find in the geologic record. 347 00:23:56,825 --> 00:23:59,356 Lyell's motivation was to quote, 348 00:23:59,358 --> 00:24:02,423 "free the science from Moses," end quote. 349 00:24:02,425 --> 00:24:05,756 Their ideas would soon transform the culture 350 00:24:05,758 --> 00:24:09,356 from one that largely trusted in the biblical account 351 00:24:09,358 --> 00:24:12,556 of history and its implications for cosmology, 352 00:24:12,558 --> 00:24:15,689 geology, and biology to one that searched 353 00:24:15,691 --> 00:24:18,790 for alternative explanations for everything. 354 00:24:18,792 --> 00:24:21,158 Did man evolve from animals? 355 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,157 Did the universe form itself over billions of years? 356 00:24:25,159 --> 00:24:28,356 Did dinosaurs go extinct millions of years 357 00:24:28,358 --> 00:24:30,623 before man was on the Earth? 358 00:24:30,625 --> 00:24:33,424 Was there really a worldwide flood? 359 00:24:33,426 --> 00:24:36,191 These questions would soon lead many 360 00:24:36,193 --> 00:24:38,757 to either make compromises with the Bible, 361 00:24:38,759 --> 00:24:41,759 or deny it altogether. 362 00:24:44,391 --> 00:24:46,090 I've had people say, "Well where did God come from? 363 00:24:46,092 --> 00:24:47,356 "Who created God?" 364 00:24:47,358 --> 00:24:49,091 On what page of Shakespeare's book Hamlet 365 00:24:49,093 --> 00:24:50,489 do you find Shakespeare? 366 00:24:50,491 --> 00:24:52,623 Shakespeare is not confined to his book. 367 00:24:52,625 --> 00:24:54,357 He's not in it, he wrote the book. 368 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:55,490 He's not bound by his book, 369 00:24:55,492 --> 00:24:57,423 and God is not bound by his creation. 370 00:24:57,425 --> 00:24:59,756 When you ask that question, "Where did God come from? 371 00:24:59,758 --> 00:25:01,158 or "Who created God," 372 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,058 You are assuming that time is absolute 373 00:25:03,060 --> 00:25:05,090 and God showed up on that timeline. 374 00:25:05,092 --> 00:25:06,289 That is not the God of the Bible. 375 00:25:06,291 --> 00:25:07,590 The God of the Bible is beyond all that. 376 00:25:07,592 --> 00:25:09,091 God started time. 377 00:25:09,093 --> 00:25:09,756 He wasn't created. 378 00:25:09,758 --> 00:25:11,357 He is not bound by time. 379 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,157 God is that absolute! 380 00:25:13,159 --> 00:25:14,557 Everyone knows, 381 00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:17,356 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." 382 00:25:17,358 --> 00:25:18,356 Heaven is space. 383 00:25:18,358 --> 00:25:19,556 The earth is matter. 384 00:25:19,558 --> 00:25:22,090 And then he said, "Let there be light." 385 00:25:22,092 --> 00:25:24,289 Most people know that verse by heart too. 386 00:25:24,291 --> 00:25:25,824 That's energy. 387 00:25:25,826 --> 00:25:28,423 On the first day of the universe, God creates space, time, 388 00:25:28,425 --> 00:25:32,290 matter, and energy, all the components of the universe. 389 00:25:32,292 --> 00:25:35,690 And the only actual matter in the universe 390 00:25:35,692 --> 00:25:39,424 is the earth at the time, standing in and out of the water. 391 00:25:39,426 --> 00:25:42,290 Perhaps it was water that the earth was made from 392 00:25:42,292 --> 00:25:44,490 and water was actually the first substance that God 393 00:25:44,492 --> 00:25:45,624 actually made. 394 00:25:45,626 --> 00:25:48,091 And so, we have matter, space, time, 395 00:25:48,093 --> 00:25:51,157 and energy being created on the first day of the universe. 396 00:25:51,159 --> 00:25:54,690 The second day is when God actually separates 397 00:25:54,692 --> 00:25:56,623 the waters above from the waters below, 398 00:25:56,625 --> 00:25:58,489 and then the expanse is there. 399 00:25:58,491 --> 00:26:02,157 The third day, God then brings forth the dry land. 400 00:26:02,159 --> 00:26:04,423 He raises up the land surface. 401 00:26:04,425 --> 00:26:06,457 So now you have the first continent, 402 00:26:06,459 --> 00:26:07,756 probably only one continent 403 00:26:07,758 --> 00:26:09,322 because it says He gathered the waters together. 404 00:26:09,324 --> 00:26:12,490 To one place, which suggests that in the early Earth 405 00:26:12,492 --> 00:26:14,090 there was one land mass. 406 00:26:14,092 --> 00:26:16,158 Just one continent, split up, we believe, 407 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,223 during the flood later on. 408 00:26:18,225 --> 00:26:20,456 It wasn't until the 1960s 409 00:26:20,458 --> 00:26:23,557 that geologists began to widely accept continental drift, 410 00:26:23,559 --> 00:26:28,560 a supposedly new idea that proposed that the continents 411 00:26:29,691 --> 00:26:31,490 of Earth had broken up at sometime in the past 412 00:26:31,492 --> 00:26:33,524 and had moved apart. 413 00:26:33,526 --> 00:26:37,357 You've probably heard the name Rodinia or Pangaea, 414 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:42,360 supercontinents in which all the continents as we know them 415 00:26:43,224 --> 00:26:44,390 were once connected together. 416 00:26:44,392 --> 00:26:47,623 This is a concept that the Bible already revealed thousands 417 00:26:47,625 --> 00:26:49,223 of years earlier. 418 00:26:49,225 --> 00:26:52,156 In 1858, Antonio Snider-Pellegrini 419 00:26:52,158 --> 00:26:55,623 proposed that the continents had moved apart rapidly 420 00:26:55,625 --> 00:26:59,357 during Noah's flood, in a catastrophic process. 421 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:04,091 Genesis 1:9 states that God gathered together 422 00:27:04,093 --> 00:27:09,094 the waters into one place, and made the dry land appear. 423 00:27:10,425 --> 00:27:12,690 What the Bible had stated all along, that the lands 424 00:27:12,692 --> 00:27:15,556 were once connected and then split apart, 425 00:27:15,558 --> 00:27:19,493 geologists started teaching thousands of years later. 426 00:27:20,725 --> 00:27:23,157 Many people's understanding of the flood 427 00:27:23,159 --> 00:27:27,090 is the understanding they acquired when they were 428 00:27:27,092 --> 00:27:28,424 about four years old. 429 00:27:28,426 --> 00:27:31,156 The flood was an incredible catastrophe 430 00:27:31,158 --> 00:27:35,389 almost beyond what the human mind can comprehend. 431 00:27:35,391 --> 00:27:40,089 This is a catastrophic event of unimaginable proportions. 432 00:27:40,091 --> 00:27:43,122 Sedimentation on a global cataclysmic, catastrophic scale, 433 00:27:43,124 --> 00:27:45,689 burying billions of creatures suddenly 434 00:27:45,691 --> 00:27:47,456 in unimaginable amounts of sediment. 435 00:27:47,458 --> 00:27:49,089 Look at all the fossils. 436 00:27:49,091 --> 00:27:51,556 It's almost like the surface of the Earth screams at us, 437 00:27:51,558 --> 00:27:53,823 "Hey, there was a catastrophic event!" 438 00:27:53,825 --> 00:27:55,357 If something like that happened, 439 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,490 what sort of evidence should that have left behind? 440 00:27:58,492 --> 00:27:59,690 Billions of dead things, 441 00:27:59,692 --> 00:28:01,289 buried in rock layers laid down by water, 442 00:28:01,291 --> 00:28:02,256 all over the Earth! 443 00:28:02,258 --> 00:28:03,623 Most of the fossil record 444 00:28:03,625 --> 00:28:04,756 is a result of the flood, 445 00:28:04,758 --> 00:28:06,823 not millions of years of slow processes. 446 00:28:06,825 --> 00:28:09,289 The fossil record documents 447 00:28:09,291 --> 00:28:11,791 the reality of the Genesis Flood. 448 00:28:11,793 --> 00:28:13,823 It was also a tectonic-catastrophe, 449 00:28:13,825 --> 00:28:18,557 large-scale plate motion, migration of the continents 450 00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:20,556 by thousands of miles. 451 00:28:20,558 --> 00:28:23,823 Which means that all the Atlantic Ocean 452 00:28:23,825 --> 00:28:26,222 opened up during the flood, 453 00:28:26,224 --> 00:28:28,423 the Indian Ocean opened up during the flood 454 00:28:28,425 --> 00:28:30,356 transforming the Earth's surface. 455 00:28:30,358 --> 00:28:32,756 It is impossible to walk away from the text 456 00:28:32,758 --> 00:28:35,089 thinking that this was some type 457 00:28:35,091 --> 00:28:37,123 of local Mesopotamian flood. 458 00:28:37,125 --> 00:28:40,824 This was a flood of universal proportion 459 00:28:40,826 --> 00:28:44,156 in its destruction of the Earth itself, 460 00:28:44,158 --> 00:28:45,690 its destruction of all mankind. 461 00:28:45,692 --> 00:28:48,556 The Bible tells us of a worldwide Flood 462 00:28:48,558 --> 00:28:51,290 that radically changed the climate 463 00:28:51,292 --> 00:28:53,624 and devastated the continents 464 00:28:53,626 --> 00:28:56,057 thousands of years before scientists 465 00:28:56,059 --> 00:28:58,623 would even propose ice ages. 466 00:28:58,625 --> 00:29:01,489 The irony being that these same scientists 467 00:29:01,491 --> 00:29:03,557 would confirm the possibility 468 00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:07,156 of great global floods on planets like Mars, 469 00:29:07,158 --> 00:29:10,424 and yet still deny that a global flood 470 00:29:10,426 --> 00:29:12,157 was possible on Earth. 471 00:29:12,159 --> 00:29:14,490 You see, the Bible already stated 472 00:29:14,492 --> 00:29:16,490 there was a worldwide flood, 473 00:29:16,492 --> 00:29:19,356 and they don't want to validate the Bible. 474 00:29:19,358 --> 00:29:24,222 They'll come up with any other explanation but the truth. 475 00:29:24,224 --> 00:29:27,222 For 150 days, the waters covered the mountains. 476 00:29:27,224 --> 00:29:29,290 They prevailed over the Earth. 477 00:29:29,292 --> 00:29:31,689 Five months of torrential downpour rain, 478 00:29:31,691 --> 00:29:33,757 of the fountains of the great deep 479 00:29:33,759 --> 00:29:35,423 being broken open and gushing out water 480 00:29:35,425 --> 00:29:37,157 from beneath as well. 481 00:29:37,159 --> 00:29:38,623 The tehome rabbah, the great deep, 482 00:29:38,625 --> 00:29:40,623 which immediately takes the reader back 483 00:29:40,625 --> 00:29:43,222 to Genesis chapter one, verse two, 484 00:29:43,224 --> 00:29:45,222 where we have a water-covered Earth. 485 00:29:45,224 --> 00:29:48,090 Then on the third day, God also makes the plants 486 00:29:48,092 --> 00:29:51,357 and the trees of the field with the fruit in them, 487 00:29:51,359 --> 00:29:53,389 with seed already in them. 488 00:29:53,391 --> 00:29:55,123 Some people object to that and say, 489 00:29:55,125 --> 00:29:57,489 "But wait a minute, the plants were made on day three, 490 00:29:57,491 --> 00:29:59,424 "but the sun wasn't made until day four. 491 00:29:59,426 --> 00:30:03,057 "How can you have plants without light from the sun?" 492 00:30:03,059 --> 00:30:04,423 But you have light on day one. 493 00:30:04,425 --> 00:30:06,157 God said, "Let there be light." 494 00:30:06,159 --> 00:30:08,157 We are not told where the light came from. 495 00:30:08,159 --> 00:30:10,290 Presumably, He had a source for light. 496 00:30:10,292 --> 00:30:13,156 Light exists independent of its source anyway, 497 00:30:13,158 --> 00:30:14,624 if you think about it. 498 00:30:14,626 --> 00:30:16,623 And the sun was made on day four 499 00:30:16,625 --> 00:30:19,557 to be the light-bearer from that time onwards. 500 00:30:19,559 --> 00:30:20,756 It's interesting. 501 00:30:20,758 --> 00:30:22,389 In the Old Testament, God warns the Israelites 502 00:30:22,391 --> 00:30:24,690 not to worship the sun like the pagans do. 503 00:30:24,692 --> 00:30:26,423 And I believe one of the reasons that God left the sun 504 00:30:26,425 --> 00:30:28,623 until day four was to show that 505 00:30:28,625 --> 00:30:32,690 he created the light and that he sustains all of that. 506 00:30:32,692 --> 00:30:34,489 The sun is just his tool, 507 00:30:34,491 --> 00:30:36,223 so don't worship the sun. 508 00:30:36,225 --> 00:30:39,026 Worship God, who made the sun. 509 00:30:44,725 --> 00:30:48,225 "And God said, 'Let there be lights 510 00:30:51,692 --> 00:30:54,293 "in the firmament of the heaven 511 00:30:57,625 --> 00:31:01,359 "to divide the day from the night, 512 00:31:05,292 --> 00:31:08,193 "and let them be for signs, 513 00:31:15,225 --> 00:31:17,193 "and for seasons, 514 00:31:25,758 --> 00:31:27,493 "and for days, 515 00:31:30,559 --> 00:31:31,492 "and years. 516 00:31:43,459 --> 00:31:48,426 "And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven 517 00:31:51,491 --> 00:31:55,226 "to give light upon the earth.'" 518 00:31:59,792 --> 00:32:01,092 "And it was so. 519 00:32:04,491 --> 00:32:08,292 "And God made two great lights, 520 00:32:23,292 --> 00:32:26,225 "the greater light to rule the day, 521 00:32:38,791 --> 00:32:42,425 "and the lesser light to rule the night. 522 00:33:39,092 --> 00:33:42,624 "He made the stars also. 523 00:34:01,059 --> 00:34:03,557 "And God set them in the firmament 524 00:34:03,559 --> 00:34:07,293 "of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 525 00:34:22,492 --> 00:34:26,357 "and to rule over the day and over the night, 526 00:34:26,359 --> 00:34:30,426 "and to divide the light from the darkness. 527 00:34:34,458 --> 00:34:38,691 "And God saw that it was good. 528 00:34:42,757 --> 00:34:46,559 "And the evening and the morning were the fourth day." 529 00:34:51,292 --> 00:34:54,257 Astronomers typically specialize in different fields. 530 00:34:54,259 --> 00:34:57,123 Some will study planets, some will study galaxies, 531 00:34:57,125 --> 00:34:58,423 I happen to study stars. 532 00:34:58,425 --> 00:34:59,723 Physicists and astronomers 533 00:34:59,725 --> 00:35:01,590 have started asking questions about this. 534 00:35:01,592 --> 00:35:04,223 They say, "Why does the universe appear to be designed?" 535 00:35:04,225 --> 00:35:06,589 I read this book many years ago called 536 00:35:06,591 --> 00:35:07,755 The Anthropic Principle. 537 00:35:07,757 --> 00:35:09,688 It's a tome of over a thousand pages. 538 00:35:09,690 --> 00:35:11,057 They draw this interesting story 539 00:35:11,059 --> 00:35:13,822 that the world appears to be designed. 540 00:35:13,824 --> 00:35:17,290 When I got done, they said it just appears to be designed, 541 00:35:17,292 --> 00:35:18,822 there really is no design there. 542 00:35:18,824 --> 00:35:21,222 I'm thinking, well, you look at the evidence 543 00:35:21,224 --> 00:35:23,090 and you deny that the evidence is there. 544 00:35:23,092 --> 00:35:27,688 How can you not believe that somebody designed all of this? 545 00:35:27,690 --> 00:35:29,256 The secular world says 546 00:35:29,258 --> 00:35:31,688 that the big bang occurred 14 billion years ago. 547 00:35:31,690 --> 00:35:34,222 Everything was compacted into one spot. 548 00:35:34,224 --> 00:35:36,755 It expanded, then the stars formed themselves, 549 00:35:36,757 --> 00:35:39,489 and then our sun formed, and in the dust around the sun, 550 00:35:39,491 --> 00:35:40,459 the Earth formed. 551 00:35:41,358 --> 00:35:42,189 It was a hot molten blob, 552 00:35:42,191 --> 00:35:43,423 got covered by water, 553 00:35:43,425 --> 00:35:44,823 and then biological evolution happened. 554 00:35:44,825 --> 00:35:47,490 But if that's the case, you have any number of problems. 555 00:35:47,492 --> 00:35:49,357 According to evolution theory, 556 00:35:49,359 --> 00:35:51,556 or at least atheist evolution theory, 557 00:35:51,558 --> 00:35:54,157 the big bang created everything, 558 00:35:54,159 --> 00:35:55,357 gas clouds went everywhere, 559 00:35:55,359 --> 00:35:58,156 and stars contracted from gas clouds out of their gravity. 560 00:35:58,158 --> 00:36:00,524 Well, it's impossible for gas clouds to contract 561 00:36:00,526 --> 00:36:03,256 out of their gravity because as soon as you get a gas cloud 562 00:36:03,258 --> 00:36:06,456 that compressed, it's gonna heat up. 563 00:36:06,458 --> 00:36:08,756 And hot gasses want to expand, 564 00:36:08,758 --> 00:36:11,457 and that expansion force is a hundred times or more 565 00:36:11,459 --> 00:36:13,489 than the force of gravity. 566 00:36:13,491 --> 00:36:14,822 It could never happen. 567 00:36:14,824 --> 00:36:16,623 There are all these dog ate my homework stories 568 00:36:16,625 --> 00:36:19,489 about how gravity waves from black holes 569 00:36:19,491 --> 00:36:22,689 might do a push-pull thing on gas clouds 570 00:36:22,691 --> 00:36:24,489 and make this actually happen. 571 00:36:24,491 --> 00:36:26,556 But you have a chicken and the egg problem here, 572 00:36:26,558 --> 00:36:29,524 because don't black holes come from stars? 573 00:36:29,526 --> 00:36:31,390 So you have to get stars in the first place! 574 00:36:31,392 --> 00:36:33,489 There are many, many questions in science 575 00:36:33,491 --> 00:36:35,489 that have not been answered. 576 00:36:35,491 --> 00:36:37,656 But there are many questions that have been answered. 577 00:36:37,658 --> 00:36:41,157 So far, it is the problem for the evolutionist 578 00:36:41,159 --> 00:36:43,222 of the questions that have been answered, 579 00:36:43,224 --> 00:36:45,588 like the coalescence of the stars, 580 00:36:45,590 --> 00:36:48,622 like violating the first law of thermodynamics, 581 00:36:48,624 --> 00:36:50,823 that matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed, 582 00:36:50,825 --> 00:36:54,623 the big bang insists that happened at least once. 583 00:36:54,625 --> 00:36:57,489 Many people think the universe popped into existence 584 00:36:57,491 --> 00:36:59,623 instantly in a big bang, and it happened by itself! 585 00:36:59,625 --> 00:37:03,623 Somehow matter has spontaneously come into existence 586 00:37:03,625 --> 00:37:05,556 without a prior cause. 587 00:37:05,558 --> 00:37:08,556 They have some problems with the laws of nature. 588 00:37:08,558 --> 00:37:10,122 I was speaking to the Vice President 589 00:37:10,124 --> 00:37:12,090 of the Darwin Coalition once and I said, 590 00:37:12,092 --> 00:37:14,356 "You all believe in spontaneous generation!" 591 00:37:14,358 --> 00:37:15,289 He said, "We do not!" 592 00:37:15,291 --> 00:37:16,688 I said, "Yes you do. 593 00:37:16,690 --> 00:37:18,290 "You believe it happened at least once, don't you?" 594 00:37:18,292 --> 00:37:21,490 Why would a smart person be so easily fogged 595 00:37:21,492 --> 00:37:24,290 and fooled by a dumb suggestion? 596 00:37:24,292 --> 00:37:27,056 That actually his theory does violate 597 00:37:27,058 --> 00:37:30,090 the known discoveries and laws of science. 598 00:37:30,092 --> 00:37:33,157 We have two very important concepts 599 00:37:33,159 --> 00:37:35,689 in physics called the first and second laws 600 00:37:35,691 --> 00:37:36,623 of thermodynamics. 601 00:37:36,625 --> 00:37:39,222 The first law says that energy is neither 602 00:37:39,224 --> 00:37:40,689 created nor destroyed. 603 00:37:40,691 --> 00:37:43,755 And equally as valid as the first law is... 604 00:37:43,757 --> 00:37:46,057 The second law of thermodynamics, 605 00:37:46,059 --> 00:37:48,755 which sayst hings are currently running down, 606 00:37:48,757 --> 00:37:50,457 energy is becoming less useful. 607 00:37:50,459 --> 00:37:53,555 The useful amount of energy is always decreasing, 608 00:37:53,557 --> 00:37:55,622 and we measure this with a thing called entropy. 609 00:37:55,624 --> 00:37:57,823 The entropy is always increasing. 610 00:37:57,825 --> 00:38:01,222 It's almost as if the world was wound-up like a clock, 611 00:38:01,224 --> 00:38:02,424 and it's been unwinding. 612 00:38:02,426 --> 00:38:03,357 The second law would seem to argue... 613 00:38:03,359 --> 00:38:06,222 That the universe has not always existed, 614 00:38:06,224 --> 00:38:08,256 the material universe has not always existed. 615 00:38:08,258 --> 00:38:11,522 But the first law says you could not have a beginning. 616 00:38:11,524 --> 00:38:12,556 So, we have this contradiction. 617 00:38:12,558 --> 00:38:13,790 We have this tension. 618 00:38:13,792 --> 00:38:15,689 Both laws are equally true. 619 00:38:15,691 --> 00:38:19,189 And yet both laws, if extrapolated into the past, 620 00:38:19,191 --> 00:38:21,356 contradict each other. 621 00:38:21,358 --> 00:38:24,689 Physically, the universe has no natural explanation, 622 00:38:24,691 --> 00:38:26,423 it doesn't have a physical explanation. 623 00:38:26,425 --> 00:38:28,556 The other thing they've done in our educational system, 624 00:38:28,558 --> 00:38:30,755 they said that science can only explain things 625 00:38:30,757 --> 00:38:32,423 by natural processes. 626 00:38:32,425 --> 00:38:34,556 They have even changed the definition of science from 627 00:38:34,558 --> 00:38:37,289 the study of the natural world using the five senses 628 00:38:37,291 --> 00:38:40,689 to be the search for natural explanations. 629 00:38:40,691 --> 00:38:42,289 But who decided that? 630 00:38:42,291 --> 00:38:43,623 That's an arbitrary definition. 631 00:38:43,625 --> 00:38:46,790 That specifically excludes any possibility 632 00:38:46,792 --> 00:38:48,822 of God being involved. 633 00:38:48,824 --> 00:38:51,123 God has not only been kicked out, 634 00:38:51,125 --> 00:38:53,222 but he is treated as most unwelcome. 635 00:38:53,224 --> 00:38:55,756 They have totally changed the methodology of science. 636 00:38:55,758 --> 00:38:58,588 We need to bring the worlds of science 637 00:38:58,590 --> 00:39:02,322 and the Bible together for people so they see 638 00:39:02,324 --> 00:39:04,057 they mesh. 639 00:39:04,059 --> 00:39:06,755 It's the unbelievers that have a problem, not us. 640 00:39:06,757 --> 00:39:09,823 From a secular perspective, they can only get light 641 00:39:09,825 --> 00:39:11,422 about halfway across the universe. 642 00:39:11,424 --> 00:39:13,157 That's why they have inflation theories 643 00:39:13,159 --> 00:39:15,157 and super-inflation theories and so on, 644 00:39:15,159 --> 00:39:16,357 because they have a problem. 645 00:39:16,359 --> 00:39:17,755 They have a light time-travel problem. 646 00:39:17,757 --> 00:39:20,555 The problem is actually worse that we sometimes think. 647 00:39:20,557 --> 00:39:23,089 Alpha Centauri is more than four light years away. 648 00:39:23,091 --> 00:39:25,622 God had to get that light here not in four years, 649 00:39:25,624 --> 00:39:28,456 but actually at the end of day four. 650 00:39:28,458 --> 00:39:30,323 We used to call that the starlight problem. 651 00:39:30,325 --> 00:39:33,589 The nearest galaxy to us is two million, 652 00:39:33,591 --> 00:39:35,489 one and a half million light years away, 653 00:39:35,491 --> 00:39:37,323 wouldn't it take at least one and a half million years 654 00:39:37,325 --> 00:39:38,488 for that light to get here? 655 00:39:38,490 --> 00:39:41,089 And yes, in straight space, it would. 656 00:39:41,091 --> 00:39:43,290 But even the big bang theorists will say 657 00:39:43,292 --> 00:39:46,356 that space and dimension unfolded. 658 00:39:46,358 --> 00:39:50,089 Some people want to take mentions in the Old Testament 659 00:39:50,091 --> 00:39:52,156 of God stretching out the heavens like a tent 660 00:39:52,158 --> 00:39:56,622 or a canopy, stretching that light miraculously to get here. 661 00:39:56,624 --> 00:39:58,356 "He stretches out the heavens 662 00:39:58,358 --> 00:40:00,090 as a tent upon a pole to dwell in. 663 00:40:00,092 --> 00:40:01,822 "He stretches out the heavens as a curtain. 664 00:40:01,824 --> 00:40:04,157 "He then arched the heavens". 665 00:40:04,159 --> 00:40:05,290 "He then bowed the heavens". 666 00:40:05,292 --> 00:40:06,456 "He stretched out the heavens across the North place". 667 00:40:06,458 --> 00:40:08,089 All these verses and many more 668 00:40:08,091 --> 00:40:10,423 indicate that the way that God did it was stretching. 669 00:40:10,425 --> 00:40:12,323 The telescope has been around 670 00:40:12,325 --> 00:40:15,656 for hundreds of years and has played an instrumental role 671 00:40:15,658 --> 00:40:18,522 in many of our greatest discoveries about the universe. 672 00:40:18,524 --> 00:40:22,157 Telescopes much larger and more advanced 673 00:40:22,159 --> 00:40:24,489 than these were used in the early 1900s 674 00:40:24,491 --> 00:40:27,555 to measure what became known as red shift, 675 00:40:27,557 --> 00:40:32,290 a form of measurement which provided empirical evidence 676 00:40:32,292 --> 00:40:34,423 that space was stretching. 677 00:40:34,425 --> 00:40:37,688 This meant that space-time itself 678 00:40:37,690 --> 00:40:42,189 could actually be manipulated as if it were fabric. 679 00:40:42,191 --> 00:40:45,555 This understanding would begin to bring answers 680 00:40:45,557 --> 00:40:48,623 to some of the biggest mysteries of the universe. 681 00:40:48,625 --> 00:40:52,156 But this concept was just a recognition 682 00:40:52,158 --> 00:40:54,388 of what the Bible already revealed. 683 00:40:54,390 --> 00:40:57,789 In the books of both Isaiah and Job, 684 00:40:57,791 --> 00:41:02,422 God said he stretched out the heavens like a curtain, 685 00:41:02,424 --> 00:41:06,156 and that he created the heavens and stretched them out. 686 00:41:06,158 --> 00:41:08,456 These verses gave us further insight 687 00:41:08,458 --> 00:41:10,689 to the dimensionality of space 688 00:41:10,691 --> 00:41:13,589 and showed us that the universe has been stretched 689 00:41:13,591 --> 00:41:15,288 since the beginning of Creation. 690 00:41:15,290 --> 00:41:17,556 The implications of this biblical concept 691 00:41:17,558 --> 00:41:20,455 have been better understood in modern times. 692 00:41:20,457 --> 00:41:24,122 What's equally extraordinary is that the Bible 693 00:41:24,124 --> 00:41:26,156 also revealed that the Earth is round 694 00:41:26,158 --> 00:41:29,656 and that it floats in space, hanging upon nothing. 695 00:41:29,658 --> 00:41:33,089 Amazing insights proclaimed at a time 696 00:41:33,091 --> 00:41:37,089 when some ancient cultures believed the Earth is flat. 697 00:41:37,091 --> 00:41:41,056 The Bible has always been, and shall ever be, 698 00:41:41,058 --> 00:41:44,822 validated by real science. 699 00:41:44,824 --> 00:41:47,222 Edwin Hubble is credited with perhaps 700 00:41:47,224 --> 00:41:49,057 the greatest discovery, maybe one of 701 00:41:49,059 --> 00:41:50,756 the greatest discoveries of astronomy 702 00:41:50,758 --> 00:41:52,356 in the 20th century. 703 00:41:52,358 --> 00:41:54,423 The idea of what we call the expansion of the universe. 704 00:41:54,425 --> 00:41:56,756 And if it's expanding, then you would expect more 705 00:41:56,758 --> 00:41:59,289 distant objects to appear to be moving farther away from us. 706 00:41:59,291 --> 00:42:01,223 As the universe gets larger, 707 00:42:01,225 --> 00:42:03,289 there should be a relationship between distance 708 00:42:03,291 --> 00:42:05,622 and that apparent motion between us. 709 00:42:05,624 --> 00:42:08,555 And we measure that motion by the red shifts. 710 00:42:08,557 --> 00:42:10,655 Now according to Albert Einstein, 711 00:42:10,657 --> 00:42:14,321 if you actually stretch the fabric of space, 712 00:42:14,323 --> 00:42:17,488 you will also essentially and necessarily 713 00:42:17,490 --> 00:42:19,689 have to stretch the fabric of time. 714 00:42:19,691 --> 00:42:22,355 So, Andromeda is not just two million, 715 00:42:22,357 --> 00:42:25,321 one and a half million light years 716 00:42:25,323 --> 00:42:27,623 in spatial displacement over that way, 717 00:42:27,625 --> 00:42:30,156 but also, it's also time-stretched. 718 00:42:30,158 --> 00:42:32,689 Yes, we're looking at the galaxy of Andromeda 719 00:42:32,691 --> 00:42:35,755 as it looked at a previous time. 720 00:42:35,757 --> 00:42:38,090 But we are also looking at a galaxy 721 00:42:38,092 --> 00:42:40,523 that has experienced more time than we have 722 00:42:40,525 --> 00:42:44,156 if we are anywhere closer to the center of the stretching. 723 00:42:44,158 --> 00:42:47,157 William Tifft, who back about forty years ago 724 00:42:47,159 --> 00:42:49,688 discovered something interesting in the red shifts 725 00:42:49,690 --> 00:42:51,156 of galaxies. 726 00:42:51,158 --> 00:42:54,422 The universe consists of concentric shells 727 00:42:54,424 --> 00:42:59,321 of galaxies, and we are near the center of that. 728 00:42:59,323 --> 00:43:02,289 If we are placed there by God for some reason, 729 00:43:02,291 --> 00:43:03,689 that's what you might expect. 730 00:43:03,691 --> 00:43:05,556 Astronomers have more or less ignored Tifft's 731 00:43:05,558 --> 00:43:07,255 work over the years and yet, actually, 732 00:43:07,257 --> 00:43:08,522 it's staring them in the face. 733 00:43:08,524 --> 00:43:11,155 In astronomy, as in any other science, 734 00:43:11,157 --> 00:43:12,488 I think there are evidences 735 00:43:12,490 --> 00:43:15,089 that the world is far younger than many people think. 736 00:43:15,091 --> 00:43:16,388 Spiral galaxies would be a good example. 737 00:43:16,390 --> 00:43:19,189 They actually spin more rapidly at the center, 738 00:43:19,191 --> 00:43:21,056 and more slowly out at the edges. 739 00:43:21,058 --> 00:43:23,589 Obviously if this thing spins around several times, 740 00:43:23,591 --> 00:43:26,321 it starts smearing out the spiral arms. 741 00:43:26,323 --> 00:43:29,422 And as that happens, you would spin it out 742 00:43:29,424 --> 00:43:31,456 to the point, you would end up with just an amorphous disk. 743 00:43:31,458 --> 00:43:33,488 They think these galaxies are at least 744 00:43:33,490 --> 00:43:35,655 ten billion years old, so these things 745 00:43:35,657 --> 00:43:37,689 would be entirely smeared out. 746 00:43:37,691 --> 00:43:39,756 But in six thousand years, not much smearing taking place. 747 00:43:39,758 --> 00:43:41,689 In billions of years, it's a problem, 748 00:43:41,691 --> 00:43:43,522 in thousands of years, not a problem. 749 00:43:43,524 --> 00:43:46,222 Comets really do have something to say about the age 750 00:43:46,224 --> 00:43:48,156 of the solar system. 751 00:43:48,158 --> 00:43:50,156 We can divide comets into two groups. 752 00:43:50,158 --> 00:43:52,221 We call the short-period comets and long period comets. 753 00:43:52,223 --> 00:43:54,822 For short period comets, a couple hundred years, 754 00:43:54,824 --> 00:43:56,090 they're all gone. 755 00:43:56,092 --> 00:43:57,289 There shouldn't be any left. 756 00:43:57,291 --> 00:43:58,822 Long period comets, tens of millions 757 00:43:58,824 --> 00:44:01,156 or maybe a hundred million years, 758 00:44:01,158 --> 00:44:02,488 but they're all gone again. 759 00:44:02,490 --> 00:44:04,289 So for a billions of years solar system, 760 00:44:04,291 --> 00:44:07,422 you have a problem, thousands of years, not a problem. 761 00:44:07,424 --> 00:44:10,156 We understand that the sun is powered by nuclear fusion 762 00:44:10,158 --> 00:44:12,090 and that could power the sun for billions of years. 763 00:44:12,092 --> 00:44:14,489 As it produces energy like that, it changes its composition 764 00:44:14,491 --> 00:44:17,356 inside and over time it should slowly brighten. 765 00:44:17,358 --> 00:44:19,823 And as it does, the Earth would get warmer. 766 00:44:19,825 --> 00:44:22,289 Now again, over thousands of years, not a problem. 767 00:44:22,291 --> 00:44:24,122 But if go back a couple billion, three billion years or so 768 00:44:24,124 --> 00:44:26,823 when life first supposedly developed on the planet, 769 00:44:26,825 --> 00:44:29,356 you have a problem because the Earth 770 00:44:29,358 --> 00:44:30,589 would have been far colder. 771 00:44:30,591 --> 00:44:34,589 It would have been frozen, and nobody thinks that happened. 772 00:44:34,591 --> 00:44:36,155 In billions of years, it's a problem, 773 00:44:36,157 --> 00:44:38,088 thousands of years, not a problem. 774 00:44:38,090 --> 00:44:40,588 In fact, other planets in our solar system 775 00:44:40,590 --> 00:44:42,488 testify to a young universe as well. 776 00:44:42,490 --> 00:44:46,156 Both the density and magnetic field of Mercury 777 00:44:46,158 --> 00:44:48,555 cannot allow for millions of years. 778 00:44:48,557 --> 00:44:52,288 In 1984, Russell Humphreys correctly calculated 779 00:44:52,290 --> 00:44:55,122 the magnetic fields of Uranus and Neptune 780 00:44:55,124 --> 00:44:58,155 several years before the Voyager 2 satellite 781 00:44:58,157 --> 00:44:59,158 would measure them. 782 00:45:00,124 --> 00:45:02,689 Humphreys used a vital clue from the Bible, 783 00:45:02,691 --> 00:45:05,588 that the universe was made only 6,000 years ago. 784 00:45:05,590 --> 00:45:07,688 And when the surface of Venus was mapped 785 00:45:07,690 --> 00:45:11,456 in the mid-nineties, volcanoes, craters, mountains, 786 00:45:11,458 --> 00:45:14,221 and other features showed the history of the planet 787 00:45:14,223 --> 00:45:16,088 was young. 788 00:45:16,090 --> 00:45:19,489 Neptune is too hot to be old. 789 00:45:19,491 --> 00:45:23,255 Pluto still has nitrogen in its atmosphere. 790 00:45:23,257 --> 00:45:26,790 The rings of Saturn and Neptune aren't uniform, 791 00:45:26,792 --> 00:45:30,288 as they would be after millions of years. 792 00:45:30,290 --> 00:45:32,688 So, do we trust in the timeline of men, 793 00:45:32,690 --> 00:45:36,623 who are repeatedly wrong and having to change their beliefs? 794 00:45:36,625 --> 00:45:39,355 Or do we trust in the Bible, 795 00:45:39,357 --> 00:45:43,625 which has never been proven wrong and does not change. 796 00:45:47,490 --> 00:45:52,525 "And God said, 'Let the waters bring forth abundantly 797 00:45:58,557 --> 00:46:03,424 "the moving creature that hath life, 798 00:46:16,157 --> 00:46:21,158 "and fowl that may fly above the earth 799 00:46:23,357 --> 00:46:26,157 in the open firmament of heaven.'" 800 00:46:29,124 --> 00:46:32,258 "And God created great whales, 801 00:46:42,490 --> 00:46:46,291 "and every living creature that moveth, 802 00:46:50,458 --> 00:46:54,192 "which the waters brought forth abundantly, 803 00:46:56,391 --> 00:46:57,992 "after their kind, 804 00:47:16,691 --> 00:47:21,692 "and every winged fowl after his kind. 805 00:47:31,424 --> 00:47:34,025 "And God saw that it was good. 806 00:47:37,491 --> 00:47:40,091 "And God blessed them, saying, 807 00:47:41,291 --> 00:47:43,559 "'Be fruitful, and multiply, 808 00:47:49,758 --> 00:47:52,559 "and fill the waters in the seas, 809 00:48:01,090 --> 00:48:04,158 "and let fowl multiply in the earth.' 810 00:48:34,557 --> 00:48:39,558 "And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 811 00:48:50,123 --> 00:48:51,623 A lot of people will say, 812 00:48:51,625 --> 00:48:53,556 "It just seems so hard to believe the Bible 813 00:48:53,558 --> 00:48:55,288 "because of all those miracles and everything." 814 00:48:55,290 --> 00:48:56,723 Well, the big bang is a miracle. 815 00:48:56,725 --> 00:48:59,088 evolution of life would have to be a miracle. 816 00:48:59,090 --> 00:49:00,288 And the changing of that life 817 00:49:00,290 --> 00:49:03,555 into all the origin of the species all require violations 818 00:49:03,557 --> 00:49:05,089 of the laws of science. 819 00:49:05,091 --> 00:49:06,489 To believe that there is no God, 820 00:49:06,491 --> 00:49:08,688 you will have to believe in miracles 821 00:49:08,690 --> 00:49:10,155 without a miracle maker! 822 00:49:10,157 --> 00:49:11,755 To believe that evolution is true, 823 00:49:11,757 --> 00:49:13,790 you're gonna have to violate some of the main, 824 00:49:13,792 --> 00:49:16,555 most important principles and laws of science 825 00:49:16,557 --> 00:49:18,489 that have been agreed upon. 826 00:49:18,491 --> 00:49:20,756 Not only does the atheist evolutionary worldview 827 00:49:20,758 --> 00:49:22,121 violate the first law of thermodynamics, 828 00:49:22,123 --> 00:49:23,788 so that's against a principle of science, 829 00:49:23,790 --> 00:49:25,756 but Louis Pasteur proved that 830 00:49:25,758 --> 00:49:27,689 spontaneous generation isn't true. 831 00:49:27,691 --> 00:49:29,489 But all evolutionists, every evolutionist 832 00:49:29,491 --> 00:49:32,088 believes in spontaneous generation of life! 833 00:49:32,090 --> 00:49:33,489 This whole evolutionary concept 834 00:49:33,491 --> 00:49:35,489 that life came from non-life. 835 00:49:35,491 --> 00:49:37,489 It actually violates a law of science. 836 00:49:37,491 --> 00:49:39,821 It is one of the only laws in biology, 837 00:49:39,823 --> 00:49:41,622 it's called the law of biogenesis 838 00:49:41,624 --> 00:49:43,822 and it states that life comes from life, not non-life. 839 00:49:43,824 --> 00:49:47,689 The law of biogenesis that says that all life 840 00:49:47,691 --> 00:49:49,355 comes from pre-existing life. 841 00:49:49,357 --> 00:49:53,155 And yet evolution says that life can come from non-life. 842 00:49:53,157 --> 00:49:54,256 Surprise! 843 00:49:54,258 --> 00:49:55,655 If you just wait long enough. 844 00:49:55,657 --> 00:49:57,623 But we see no examples of that today. 845 00:49:57,625 --> 00:49:59,356 We can't observe it, we can't repeat it, 846 00:49:59,358 --> 00:50:01,055 people just believe it blindly. 847 00:50:01,057 --> 00:50:03,089 Anytime they have done these sort of 848 00:50:03,091 --> 00:50:04,489 origin of life experiments, 849 00:50:04,491 --> 00:50:08,055 6where they're trying to take a soup, so to speak, 850 00:50:08,057 --> 00:50:09,455 of all these different molecules, 851 00:50:09,457 --> 00:50:11,089 add a little bit of lightning... 852 00:50:11,091 --> 00:50:14,423 Cook everything together, add a spark, and out comes... 853 00:50:14,425 --> 00:50:15,289 Tar. 854 00:50:15,291 --> 00:50:17,155 They end up with gunk. 855 00:50:17,157 --> 00:50:19,423 They have to do a lot of tweaking to end up with... 856 00:50:19,425 --> 00:50:20,489 Amino acids. 857 00:50:20,491 --> 00:50:23,089 That's impressive, oooh. 858 00:50:23,091 --> 00:50:25,156 It's not even meaningful information 859 00:50:25,158 --> 00:50:27,489 as far as DNA is concerned. 860 00:50:27,491 --> 00:50:29,754 Every evolutionary story starts with 861 00:50:29,756 --> 00:50:31,754 the Miller-Urey experiment. 862 00:50:31,756 --> 00:50:33,355 The best yields that they've ever gotten 863 00:50:33,357 --> 00:50:37,689 was 80% L-amino acids and 20% D-amino acids. 864 00:50:37,691 --> 00:50:40,156 That means that every fifth amino acid 865 00:50:40,158 --> 00:50:43,755 in a protein series would be lethal to all forms of life 866 00:50:43,757 --> 00:50:45,355 on our planet! 867 00:50:45,357 --> 00:50:47,188 The evolutionists try to get away from this problem 868 00:50:47,190 --> 00:50:48,588 of chirality. 869 00:50:48,590 --> 00:50:53,155 The odds for 250 parts coming together is two times 870 00:50:53,157 --> 00:50:56,156 10 raised to the 476th power. 871 00:50:56,158 --> 00:51:01,091 That's going to be a two with 476 zeros following after it. 872 00:51:02,525 --> 00:51:07,559 That's the odds for the first cell to come into existence! 873 00:51:09,223 --> 00:51:11,088 The best they've been able to do 874 00:51:11,090 --> 00:51:13,721 is the idea that the amino acids assembled themselves 875 00:51:13,723 --> 00:51:17,721 on the backs of floating crystals in the ocean. 876 00:51:17,723 --> 00:51:19,822 Their schemes and the things they have tried 877 00:51:19,824 --> 00:51:22,088 to imagine just don't work. 878 00:51:22,090 --> 00:51:25,288 If you take the cell and you poke a hole in it, 879 00:51:25,290 --> 00:51:30,291 you have all the components for the cell, and yet no life. 880 00:51:31,424 --> 00:51:33,088 They will say, "That's an origin of life issue 881 00:51:33,090 --> 00:51:34,789 "and I'm not gonna deal with that." 882 00:51:34,791 --> 00:51:36,789 But you have to deal with it, because there is no point 883 00:51:36,791 --> 00:51:38,389 in dealing with any of these other things 884 00:51:38,391 --> 00:51:41,488 if you cannot even get an organism in the first place. 885 00:51:41,490 --> 00:51:43,089 The problems are exponential. 886 00:51:43,091 --> 00:51:45,355 People in the field actually know this, 887 00:51:45,357 --> 00:51:47,821 but go along with it anyway because, well, 888 00:51:47,823 --> 00:51:50,622 after all, the other disciplines of science 889 00:51:50,624 --> 00:51:52,489 are where the real proof is. 890 00:51:52,491 --> 00:51:55,222 So, the geologists think that the real proof 891 00:51:55,224 --> 00:51:56,687 is with the paleontologists. 892 00:51:56,689 --> 00:51:59,488 The fossil-studiers think the geophysicists have the proof. 893 00:51:59,490 --> 00:52:02,121 The geophysicists think it's the astrophysicists 894 00:52:02,123 --> 00:52:03,089 that have the proof. 895 00:52:03,091 --> 00:52:04,488 Everyone gets to the airport 896 00:52:04,490 --> 00:52:06,356 and thinks that somebody else brought the tickets! 897 00:52:06,358 --> 00:52:08,555 They would never do this in any other area of their lives. 898 00:52:08,557 --> 00:52:11,556 They are denying the obvious 899 00:52:11,558 --> 00:52:14,754 because of their starting point that there is no God. 900 00:52:14,756 --> 00:52:17,555 A lot of people are enticed by this idea 901 00:52:17,557 --> 00:52:20,088 because it takes God out of the picture. 902 00:52:20,090 --> 00:52:23,422 Here's another way in which young people are being conned. 903 00:52:23,424 --> 00:52:25,422 When they read their textbooks 904 00:52:25,424 --> 00:52:28,222 and it's talking about changes in finches' beaks 905 00:52:28,224 --> 00:52:31,255 or changes you see in dogs, the word evolution is used. 906 00:52:31,257 --> 00:52:33,389 But then the word evolution is also used 907 00:52:33,391 --> 00:52:37,156 for molecules to man, so it's a bait and switch. 908 00:52:37,158 --> 00:52:38,622 Just like all the other sequences, 909 00:52:38,624 --> 00:52:41,288 like chimps gradually turning into humans, 910 00:52:41,290 --> 00:52:44,155 and this little Bambi-looking thing turning into horses, 911 00:52:44,157 --> 00:52:46,222 those kinds of things that have been used 912 00:52:46,224 --> 00:52:49,687 for evolution really don't belong in the textbooks. 913 00:52:49,689 --> 00:52:53,755 Alan Feduccia, the head of Biology at UNC-Chapel Hill, 914 00:52:53,757 --> 00:52:57,621 says that it will be the paleontological embarrassment 915 00:52:57,623 --> 00:53:00,289 of the 20th century, the idea that birds 916 00:53:00,291 --> 00:53:01,688 evolved from dinosaurs. 917 00:53:01,690 --> 00:53:03,556 They are not a related lineage at all. 918 00:53:03,558 --> 00:53:05,821 I get the question of dinosaurs all the time. 919 00:53:05,823 --> 00:53:07,556 Consider dragons. 920 00:53:07,558 --> 00:53:10,089 We see dragon legends in cultures all over the world. 921 00:53:10,091 --> 00:53:12,555 We find petroglyphs, cave drawings and etchings, 922 00:53:12,557 --> 00:53:15,156 and many of these are images of dragons 923 00:53:15,158 --> 00:53:17,423 and creatures that we would call dinosaurs today. 924 00:53:17,425 --> 00:53:20,423 The word dinosaur didn't exist until 1841. 925 00:53:20,425 --> 00:53:24,155 So before 1841, very often the word dragon 926 00:53:24,157 --> 00:53:26,055 would have been used. 927 00:53:26,057 --> 00:53:27,754 Dragon is more of an overarching term. 928 00:53:27,756 --> 00:53:30,288 It would include flying reptiles and sea reptiles, 929 00:53:30,290 --> 00:53:31,822 as well as things like dinosaurs. 930 00:53:31,824 --> 00:53:34,088 Now when it comes to evidence of dinosaurs 931 00:53:34,090 --> 00:53:36,222 and man living at the same time, 932 00:53:36,224 --> 00:53:38,222 believe it or not we have an immense amount. 933 00:53:38,224 --> 00:53:39,755 When we look at ancient histories from various cultures... 934 00:53:39,757 --> 00:53:41,754 We get very detailed descriptions, 935 00:53:41,756 --> 00:53:44,621 those are creatures that today, in our modern world, 936 00:53:44,623 --> 00:53:46,156 we would call dinosaurs. 937 00:53:46,158 --> 00:53:49,122 In Genesis, we're told that on day six, 938 00:53:49,124 --> 00:53:51,222 God created the beasts of the earth 939 00:53:51,224 --> 00:53:54,721 and everything that creepeth upon the earth. 940 00:53:54,723 --> 00:53:58,289 This would of course include dinosaurs. 941 00:53:58,291 --> 00:54:02,356 In the past, dinosaurs were simply known as dragons. 942 00:54:02,358 --> 00:54:05,056 Even as late as the early 1900s, 943 00:54:05,058 --> 00:54:09,055 dictionaries described dragons as now rare 944 00:54:09,057 --> 00:54:11,088 and a huge serpent. 945 00:54:11,090 --> 00:54:14,288 Not only do we find dinosaurs in cave drawings, 946 00:54:14,290 --> 00:54:17,422 carvings of figurines, and even in cultural legends 947 00:54:17,424 --> 00:54:19,754 from the not-too-distant past, 948 00:54:19,756 --> 00:54:23,422 but the Bible speaks descriptively of creatures 949 00:54:23,424 --> 00:54:25,622 that sound like dinosaurs. 950 00:54:25,624 --> 00:54:30,624 In the book of Job, God tells Job to behold the behemoth, 951 00:54:31,489 --> 00:54:33,487 a creature Job would have known. 952 00:54:33,489 --> 00:54:36,821 In fact, God specifically says that 953 00:54:36,823 --> 00:54:40,554 he made the behemoth along with mankind, 954 00:54:40,556 --> 00:54:43,155 and describes it as having a tail 955 00:54:43,157 --> 00:54:48,158 that sways like a cedar tree, and bones as strong as iron. 956 00:54:49,524 --> 00:54:52,522 He's so big that a raging river is nothing to him. 957 00:54:52,524 --> 00:54:54,788 The description of this massive creature 958 00:54:54,790 --> 00:54:57,622 fits the huge sauropod dinosaurs 959 00:54:57,624 --> 00:54:59,722 we know from the fossil record. 960 00:54:59,724 --> 00:55:02,189 The Bible describes in great detail 961 00:55:02,191 --> 00:55:05,222 a creature that sounds just like a dinosaur, 962 00:55:05,224 --> 00:55:08,188 thousands of years before paleontologists 963 00:55:08,190 --> 00:55:12,157 would rediscover and rename them. 964 00:55:13,489 --> 00:55:16,088 My daughter, came back from her kindergarten class, 965 00:55:16,090 --> 00:55:17,622 when she was younger, she brought home a book 966 00:55:17,624 --> 00:55:20,822 that said that dinosaurs lived 100 million years ago. 967 00:55:20,824 --> 00:55:23,289 That is just an assertion, they are just saying it. 968 00:55:23,291 --> 00:55:25,289 They didn't observe this, you can't repeat this. 969 00:55:25,291 --> 00:55:27,654 It is man-fallible, imperfect men, 970 00:55:27,656 --> 00:55:29,822 who separate man from dinosaurs 971 00:55:29,824 --> 00:55:31,122 by somewhere in the neighborhood of about 972 00:55:31,124 --> 00:55:32,356 65 million years now. 973 00:55:32,358 --> 00:55:34,155 You either start with what God has to say 974 00:55:34,157 --> 00:55:35,421 or with what man has to say. 975 00:55:35,423 --> 00:55:37,156 God, who has always been there, 976 00:55:37,158 --> 00:55:39,754 he is perfect and infallible and he's the one who says... 977 00:55:39,756 --> 00:55:42,288 That people and dinosaurs walked the Earth together. 978 00:55:42,290 --> 00:55:44,421 And a lot of people kind of scoff at that, 979 00:55:44,423 --> 00:55:45,356 but if you look back in history, 980 00:55:45,358 --> 00:55:47,688 nobody scoffed at that until recent times 981 00:55:47,690 --> 00:55:50,555 when people started to buy into this concept of millions 982 00:55:50,557 --> 00:55:51,755 and billions of years. 983 00:55:51,757 --> 00:55:53,388 One of the things that really helps 984 00:55:53,390 --> 00:55:55,821 to convince people of the millions of years 985 00:55:55,823 --> 00:55:59,155 is that chart of the geological column, 986 00:55:59,157 --> 00:56:00,356 where you see the rock layers 987 00:56:00,358 --> 00:56:02,355 and then you've got # the timeline on the side 988 00:56:02,357 --> 00:56:04,221 with the millions of years. 989 00:56:04,223 --> 00:56:06,288 And then you have the bottom-dwelling sea creatures, 990 00:56:06,290 --> 00:56:09,621 and then fish, and amphibians, and reptiles, and dinosaurs, 991 00:56:09,623 --> 00:56:11,554 and birds, and mammals, and people. 992 00:56:11,556 --> 00:56:14,688 How did that geological column get developed? 993 00:56:14,690 --> 00:56:17,421 It was back in the late 18th and early 19th centuries 994 00:56:17,423 --> 00:56:20,755 that they started to use the fossils, certain fossils 995 00:56:20,757 --> 00:56:24,156 called index fossils, to date a rock layer. 996 00:56:24,158 --> 00:56:25,554 "Oh, well that rock layer is this old 997 00:56:25,556 --> 00:56:27,554 "because we know that the rock layers 998 00:56:27,556 --> 00:56:29,621 "that have those fossils are this old." 999 00:56:29,623 --> 00:56:32,222 You might ask, "How did they know how old the fossils were?" 1000 00:56:32,224 --> 00:56:33,521 Good question. 1001 00:56:33,523 --> 00:56:34,721 They didn't. 1002 00:56:34,723 --> 00:56:36,822 They were making an assumption about the history of life. 1003 00:56:36,824 --> 00:56:40,354 That assumption is just invalid. 1004 00:56:40,356 --> 00:56:42,755 Remember this? 1005 00:56:42,757 --> 00:56:44,555 The geologic column. 1006 00:56:44,557 --> 00:56:46,821 You were probably taught in school 1007 00:56:46,823 --> 00:56:49,421 that each layer represents a different period of time, 1008 00:56:49,423 --> 00:56:53,354 and was deposited over millions of years. 1009 00:56:53,356 --> 00:56:56,788 In reality, each layer is simply showing 1010 00:56:56,790 --> 00:56:59,488 the order of how things were buried. 1011 00:56:59,490 --> 00:57:02,121 Both land and sea creatures alike 1012 00:57:02,123 --> 00:57:05,088 are found throughout the geologic column. 1013 00:57:05,090 --> 00:57:07,554 Sea creatures are found from the lowest 1014 00:57:07,556 --> 00:57:11,121 to the highest layers and even on top of mountains. 1015 00:57:11,123 --> 00:57:15,421 In fact, 75% of the Earth's land surface 1016 00:57:15,423 --> 00:57:18,089 is made of sedimentary layers 1017 00:57:18,091 --> 00:57:21,321 which are rock layers formed in water. 1018 00:57:21,323 --> 00:57:23,822 Geologists also confess that the world 1019 00:57:23,824 --> 00:57:26,555 is riddled with massively eroded features 1020 00:57:26,557 --> 00:57:29,288 like the Grand Canyon in America, 1021 00:57:29,290 --> 00:57:31,387 the Blyde River Canyon in South Africa, 1022 00:57:31,389 --> 00:57:33,789 and the Capertee Valley in Australia. 1023 00:57:33,791 --> 00:57:38,992 And yet, they still refuse to acknowledge a worldwide flood. 1024 00:57:40,289 --> 00:57:42,754 Remember those prophetic verses in the book of Peter? 1025 00:57:42,756 --> 00:57:45,621 "There shall come in the last days scoffers 1026 00:57:45,623 --> 00:57:49,421 "who are willingly ignorant that the Earth, 1027 00:57:49,423 --> 00:57:52,355 "being overflowed with water, perished." 1028 00:57:52,357 --> 00:57:56,156 2,000 years ago, Peter warned us 1029 00:57:56,158 --> 00:58:00,158 this rejection of truth would happen. 1030 00:58:01,589 --> 00:58:04,788 Fossils are actually not the evidence 1031 00:58:04,790 --> 00:58:06,754 of the history of life. 1032 00:58:06,756 --> 00:58:08,554 It's the evidence of the death 1033 00:58:08,556 --> 00:58:11,089 of all life during Noah's flood, 1034 00:58:11,091 --> 00:58:12,788 and how all those things got buried. 1035 00:58:12,790 --> 00:58:15,488 There are sea creatures all the way through the rock record. 1036 00:58:15,490 --> 00:58:17,554 And we find sea creatures on the tops of 1037 00:58:17,556 --> 00:58:19,422 all of our highest mountains! 1038 00:58:19,424 --> 00:58:21,822 There are sea creatures on the tops of the Himalayas, 1039 00:58:21,824 --> 00:58:23,822 the Alps, the Andes, the Rockies. 1040 00:58:23,824 --> 00:58:25,221 How did they get up there? 1041 00:58:25,223 --> 00:58:27,156 Creatures that don't have any hard parts. 1042 00:58:27,158 --> 00:58:28,055 Fossil worms. 1043 00:58:28,057 --> 00:58:30,355 Fossil animal manure. 1044 00:58:30,357 --> 00:58:32,688 That's not gonna be fossilized slowly 1045 00:58:32,690 --> 00:58:34,688 over hundreds or thousands of years. 1046 00:58:34,690 --> 00:58:37,222 Those are some of the biblical and scientific reasons 1047 00:58:37,224 --> 00:58:40,221 why we should not accept those millions of years. 1048 00:58:40,223 --> 00:58:43,156 A lot of people think that the biblical chronology 1049 00:58:43,158 --> 00:58:45,122 couldn't be true because the Bible says 1050 00:58:45,124 --> 00:58:46,788 that the Earth is 6,000 years old. 1051 00:58:46,790 --> 00:58:48,554 That is very, very different 1052 00:58:48,556 --> 00:58:50,155 than saying that the Earth is four and a half 1053 00:58:50,157 --> 00:58:51,354 billion years old. 1054 00:58:51,356 --> 00:58:52,755 How do we know that it's four and a half billion years? 1055 00:58:52,757 --> 00:58:54,688 Because it's only ever stated. 1056 00:58:54,690 --> 00:58:55,687 "It's four and a half billion years. 1057 00:58:55,689 --> 00:58:57,221 "We know that." 1058 00:58:57,223 --> 00:58:58,089 Well, how do you know that? 1059 00:58:58,091 --> 00:58:59,221 "Radioactive dating." 1060 00:58:59,223 --> 00:59:01,089 A lot of people think that carbon dating 1061 00:59:01,091 --> 00:59:03,220 proves that the rocks are millions of years old. 1062 00:59:03,222 --> 00:59:06,221 Carbon dating is never used to date the rocks. 1063 00:59:06,223 --> 00:59:08,822 It is only used to date former living things. 1064 00:59:08,824 --> 00:59:11,421 No evolutionist uses carbon-14 1065 00:59:11,423 --> 00:59:13,555 because even if it worked the way they thought it did, 1066 00:59:13,557 --> 00:59:17,122 it can only go out to 110,000 years max 1067 00:59:17,124 --> 00:59:20,156 even using the new accelerator mass spectrometer method. 1068 00:59:20,158 --> 00:59:24,522 The half-life of carbon-14 is so short, only 5,730 years, 1069 00:59:24,524 --> 00:59:27,488 that you should not find any carbon-14 1070 00:59:27,490 --> 00:59:30,721 in anything older than 100,000 years, 1071 00:59:30,723 --> 00:59:33,155 which should not have even one atom that we could detect. 1072 00:59:33,157 --> 00:59:35,587 The fact that people are routinely finding 1073 00:59:35,589 --> 00:59:38,588 significant levels of C-14 in all these different fossils 1074 00:59:38,590 --> 00:59:42,488 indicates something wrong with the dating methods. 1075 00:59:42,490 --> 00:59:45,687 The half-life, the decay rate, of carbon-14 1076 00:59:45,689 --> 00:59:49,622 is very short, so it's never used to date the rocks. 1077 00:59:49,624 --> 00:59:51,154 It's the other methods. 1078 00:59:51,156 --> 00:59:54,089 Uranium changing into lead, potassium into argon, 1079 00:59:54,091 --> 00:59:55,422 rubidium into strontium, 1080 00:59:55,424 --> 00:59:57,688 and they have really long half-lives. 1081 00:59:57,690 --> 01:00:00,488 All of those, including carbon-14, 1082 01:00:00,490 --> 01:00:02,288 depend on four basic assumptions. 1083 01:00:02,290 --> 01:00:04,687 One, you somehow have to be able to estimate 1084 01:00:04,689 --> 01:00:07,287 the original amount of the parent isotope. 1085 01:00:07,289 --> 01:00:10,422 Two, you have to somehow calculate the original amount 1086 01:00:10,424 --> 01:00:12,055 of the daughter isotope. 1087 01:00:12,057 --> 01:00:14,287 There are little detective-forensic ways 1088 01:00:14,289 --> 01:00:17,122 but no truly scientific method, rigorous ways 1089 01:00:17,124 --> 01:00:21,089 to actually determine the beginning of that rock. 1090 01:00:21,091 --> 01:00:23,688 They also have to assume that the rate at which, 1091 01:00:23,690 --> 01:00:26,521 for example, uranium decays into lead, 1092 01:00:26,523 --> 01:00:28,487 has always been constant. 1093 01:00:28,489 --> 01:00:31,254 But they have only been measuring the decay rates 1094 01:00:31,256 --> 01:00:33,288 for 100 years. 1095 01:00:33,290 --> 01:00:35,487 Pressure, magnetic fields, and heat can change 1096 01:00:35,489 --> 01:00:37,089 the decay rates. 1097 01:00:37,091 --> 01:00:39,155 Radioactive lutetium decays nine trillion times faster 1098 01:00:39,157 --> 01:00:43,555 in the plasma state, and evolutionists, big bang theorists, 1099 01:00:43,557 --> 01:00:45,821 believe that the whole universe began in a plasma state. 1100 01:00:45,823 --> 01:00:47,287 And one more. 1101 01:00:47,289 --> 01:00:49,587 You have to assume that the sample has been 1102 01:00:49,589 --> 01:00:51,487 in a closed system the entire time. 1103 01:00:51,489 --> 01:00:54,120 Scientists who are well-informed on this issue, 1104 01:00:54,122 --> 01:00:56,354 with PhDs in geology and physics, 1105 01:00:56,356 --> 01:00:57,621 they say there's problems 1106 01:00:57,623 --> 01:00:59,521 with every one of those assumptions. 1107 01:00:59,523 --> 01:01:02,154 And even if one of these assumptions doesn't go their way, 1108 01:01:02,156 --> 01:01:05,354 then the entire possibility of the whole thing 1109 01:01:05,356 --> 01:01:07,220 drops to zero. 1110 01:01:07,222 --> 01:01:09,555 There's no reason to trust that these 1111 01:01:09,557 --> 01:01:11,554 are giving us the true age of the rocks. 1112 01:01:11,556 --> 01:01:13,688 I would rather play the lottery 1113 01:01:13,690 --> 01:01:17,621 with my life savings than bet on something like that! 1114 01:01:17,623 --> 01:01:20,422 In 2005, Mary Schweitzer, 1115 01:01:20,424 --> 01:01:23,155 a paleontologist and evolutionist, 1116 01:01:23,157 --> 01:01:27,488 made the first popularized discovery of soft tissues 1117 01:01:27,490 --> 01:01:31,154 in a dinosaur bone, which include blood vessels and cells, 1118 01:01:31,156 --> 01:01:34,821 DNA and proteins, all of which decay quickly. 1119 01:01:34,823 --> 01:01:36,687 Mary Schweitzer herself said, 1120 01:01:36,689 --> 01:01:39,155 "This flies in the face of everything 1121 01:01:39,157 --> 01:01:42,621 "we understand about how tissues and cells degrade. 1122 01:01:42,623 --> 01:01:45,354 "I can't explain it, to be honest." 1123 01:01:45,356 --> 01:01:48,554 Mary can't explain it and neither can her colleagues, 1124 01:01:48,556 --> 01:01:50,622 who cling to the evolutionary paradigm. 1125 01:01:50,624 --> 01:01:52,454 To illustrate the problem, 1126 01:01:52,456 --> 01:01:54,687 let's travel back to the early 1700s, 1127 01:01:54,689 --> 01:01:57,621 a time when biblical catastrophism 1128 01:01:57,623 --> 01:02:00,422 was the accepted geological view. 1129 01:02:00,424 --> 01:02:04,487 If people then found a dinosaur bone, or dragon bone, 1130 01:02:04,489 --> 01:02:07,087 as they may have called it, with soft tissue 1131 01:02:07,089 --> 01:02:10,088 and remnants of blood still in it, would they be confused? 1132 01:02:10,090 --> 01:02:11,422 Of course not. 1133 01:02:11,424 --> 01:02:14,587 They would simply conclude this was a creature 1134 01:02:14,589 --> 01:02:16,622 that died and was buried 1135 01:02:16,624 --> 01:02:18,554 during or after the flood, 1136 01:02:18,556 --> 01:02:21,088 within the past few thousand years. 1137 01:02:21,090 --> 01:02:23,220 Now let's fast-forward to today. 1138 01:02:23,222 --> 01:02:25,754 Would people be confused to find the same thing 1139 01:02:25,756 --> 01:02:27,355 in a dinosaur bone? 1140 01:02:27,357 --> 01:02:29,087 Of course, many people would, 1141 01:02:29,089 --> 01:02:31,288 because the evidence we find 1142 01:02:31,290 --> 01:02:34,154 doesn't match the evolutionary timescale 1143 01:02:34,156 --> 01:02:37,755 we've been conditioned to believe. 1144 01:02:37,757 --> 01:02:40,154 Many textbooks say that the peppered moth, 1145 01:02:40,156 --> 01:02:43,154 industrial melanism in England, is evolution. 1146 01:02:43,156 --> 01:02:45,388 Well if that's all that evolution is, I believe! 1147 01:02:45,390 --> 01:02:48,421 The dark-colored peppered moths were more camouflaged 1148 01:02:48,423 --> 01:02:51,087 than the light-colored peppered moths. 1149 01:02:51,089 --> 01:02:54,488 As a result, the birds could see them and eat them for lunch 1150 01:02:54,490 --> 01:02:55,588 a lot easier. 1151 01:02:55,590 --> 01:02:57,588 It's not an evolutionary event at all. 1152 01:02:57,590 --> 01:02:59,488 It's a natural selection event. 1153 01:02:59,490 --> 01:03:01,588 Natural selection means to pick or choose, 1154 01:03:01,590 --> 01:03:03,754 to select from what is already there, 1155 01:03:03,756 --> 01:03:05,154 traits that were already there, 1156 01:03:05,156 --> 01:03:06,622 genetic information that was already there. 1157 01:03:06,624 --> 01:03:10,220 This process will never get you from copepod sort of things 1158 01:03:10,222 --> 01:03:12,220 in the ocean turning into moths. 1159 01:03:12,222 --> 01:03:15,121 It will never get you from monkeys turning into people. 1160 01:03:15,123 --> 01:03:17,754 This process can't make one step in that direction. 1161 01:03:17,756 --> 01:03:20,221 Natural selection may be able to explain 1162 01:03:20,223 --> 01:03:21,622 the survival of the fittest, 1163 01:03:21,624 --> 01:03:25,221 but it cannot explain the arrival of the fittest. 1164 01:03:25,223 --> 01:03:27,288 How did we get moths in the first place 1165 01:03:27,290 --> 01:03:30,220 is the question evolution claims to answer 1166 01:03:30,222 --> 01:03:31,755 and cannot and does not. 1167 01:03:31,757 --> 01:03:35,555 Instead, they just go, "Look at how the colors shifted." 1168 01:03:35,557 --> 01:03:37,555 Before the magic of evolution, 1169 01:03:37,557 --> 01:03:39,522 there were white moths and black moths. 1170 01:03:39,524 --> 01:03:41,488 After the magic of evolution, 1171 01:03:41,490 --> 01:03:43,221 there were white moths and black moths. 1172 01:03:43,223 --> 01:03:45,621 That would happen if Darwin was wrong, 1173 01:03:45,623 --> 01:03:48,555 it doesn't have anything to do with Darwin's theory. 1174 01:03:48,557 --> 01:03:50,220 The types of changes that we're seeing 1175 01:03:50,222 --> 01:03:52,087 that lead to variation with kinds 1176 01:03:52,089 --> 01:03:55,755 are not the types of changes that are required by evolution. 1177 01:03:55,757 --> 01:03:58,087 There is variation within the kind, 1178 01:03:58,089 --> 01:04:01,154 but not the evolution of one kind becoming another kind. 1179 01:04:01,156 --> 01:04:04,155 In the creation account, it says that God created, 1180 01:04:04,157 --> 01:04:07,288 according to their kind, after their kind, 1181 01:04:07,290 --> 01:04:09,554 not through evolutionary processes. 1182 01:04:09,556 --> 01:04:12,254 You don't have one kind developing into another kind. 1183 01:04:12,256 --> 01:04:14,422 They are all created according to their kind. 1184 01:04:14,424 --> 01:04:16,087 So even though you get variety, 1185 01:04:16,089 --> 01:04:18,221 they are not changing into other things. 1186 01:04:18,223 --> 01:04:21,488 Bacteria are not changing into more complex creatures. 1187 01:04:21,490 --> 01:04:23,687 Yes, you can have great variation within a kind. 1188 01:04:23,689 --> 01:04:25,388 You can get different species forming, 1189 01:04:25,390 --> 01:04:27,288 which is what Darwin really saw. 1190 01:04:27,290 --> 01:04:28,622 But there are limits. 1191 01:04:28,624 --> 01:04:31,621 There are no mechanisms there at all in genetics 1192 01:04:31,623 --> 01:04:33,722 to add in new information that never existed 1193 01:04:33,724 --> 01:04:36,355 to change that into a totally different kind. 1194 01:04:36,357 --> 01:04:37,821 Dogs always remain dogs. 1195 01:04:37,823 --> 01:04:39,622 Cats always remain cats. 1196 01:04:39,624 --> 01:04:42,055 There is nothing in observational science 1197 01:04:42,057 --> 01:04:43,487 to contradict that. 1198 01:04:43,489 --> 01:04:46,220 Every animal will bring forth after its own kind. 1199 01:04:46,222 --> 01:04:48,654 You can observe that in the existing creation 1200 01:04:48,656 --> 01:04:50,388 and in the fossil record. 1201 01:04:50,390 --> 01:04:54,288 Genesis passes the scientific method. 1202 01:04:54,290 --> 01:04:55,821 evolution doesn't. 1203 01:04:55,823 --> 01:04:57,388 The fact of the matter is 1204 01:04:57,390 --> 01:05:00,088 the information is stronger than it has ever been. 1205 01:05:00,090 --> 01:05:02,421 In the past five years there has been a quantum jump 1206 01:05:02,423 --> 01:05:04,588 in the data, the new discoveries 1207 01:05:04,590 --> 01:05:07,688 that actually go against evolutionary thinking 1208 01:05:07,690 --> 01:05:09,421 and make it more and more preposterous, 1209 01:05:09,423 --> 01:05:12,221 against evolutionary theory and actually make it untrue. 1210 01:05:12,223 --> 01:05:15,488 The creationists are finding more and more ammunition 1211 01:05:15,490 --> 01:05:18,088 in the new scientific data, 1212 01:05:18,090 --> 01:05:20,354 not in theories in the data, 1213 01:05:20,356 --> 01:05:23,221 which prompted Eugenie Scott to say, 1214 01:05:23,223 --> 01:05:25,087 "Facts are a dime a dozen, 1215 01:05:25,089 --> 01:05:27,554 "theories are what matter in science." 1216 01:05:27,556 --> 01:05:29,121 You know what? 1217 01:05:29,123 --> 01:05:31,255 It is unbelievable what unbelievers have to believe 1218 01:05:31,257 --> 01:05:32,422 to be unbelievers! 1219 01:05:32,424 --> 01:05:34,422 Come to me when you can show me the money. 1220 01:05:34,424 --> 01:05:35,555 Do you have facts or not? 1221 01:05:35,557 --> 01:05:37,087 Do you have data? 1222 01:05:37,089 --> 01:05:38,421 Do you have observations? 1223 01:05:38,423 --> 01:05:39,555 Do you have the scientific method or not? 1224 01:05:39,557 --> 01:05:41,355 Contrary to what Bill Nye said, 1225 01:05:41,357 --> 01:05:44,754 we should tell our children what our beliefs are and why. 1226 01:05:44,756 --> 01:05:48,221 We should not just say, "This is what to believe, Johnny." 1227 01:05:48,223 --> 01:05:50,187 but say, "Here is why we believe this 1228 01:05:50,189 --> 01:05:51,687 "and it's not just faith. 1229 01:05:51,689 --> 01:05:52,788 "We have science. 1230 01:05:52,790 --> 01:05:54,223 "It's really on our side." 1231 01:06:05,090 --> 01:06:07,024 "And God said, 1232 01:06:10,723 --> 01:06:14,424 "'Let the earth bring forth the living creature 1233 01:06:15,689 --> 01:06:17,357 "after his kind, 1234 01:06:23,489 --> 01:06:26,622 "cattle, and creeping thing, 1235 01:06:26,624 --> 01:06:30,091 "and beast of the Earth after his kind.' 1236 01:06:38,557 --> 01:06:39,757 "And it was so. 1237 01:06:57,223 --> 01:07:02,124 "And God made the beast of the Earth after his kind, 1238 01:07:25,823 --> 01:07:31,024 "and cattle after their kind, 1239 01:07:43,556 --> 01:07:47,490 "and every thing that creepeth upon the Earth 1240 01:07:48,489 --> 01:07:49,756 "after his kind. 1241 01:08:12,389 --> 01:08:14,990 "And God saw that it was good. 1242 01:08:48,557 --> 01:08:50,753 Evolutionists believe that approximately 1243 01:08:50,755 --> 01:08:52,488 five million years ago, 1244 01:08:52,490 --> 01:08:56,686 humans and today's apes shared a common ancestor 1245 01:08:56,688 --> 01:08:58,620 back at a fork in the road. 1246 01:08:58,622 --> 01:09:01,422 That creature is often referred 1247 01:09:01,424 --> 01:09:03,088 to as an ape-like creature. 1248 01:09:03,090 --> 01:09:04,554 They don't like to call it an ape 1249 01:09:04,556 --> 01:09:06,188 because they will argue that this creature 1250 01:09:06,190 --> 01:09:09,155 evolved into apes, and apes evolving 1251 01:09:09,157 --> 01:09:10,687 into apes is not impressive. 1252 01:09:10,689 --> 01:09:13,554 I'm prepared to accept that ape-like creatures 1253 01:09:13,556 --> 01:09:14,686 produced apes. 1254 01:09:14,688 --> 01:09:16,487 I have a little trouble with the idea 1255 01:09:16,489 --> 01:09:18,488 that ape-like creatures became humans, 1256 01:09:18,490 --> 01:09:22,554 and of course that's the whole realm of the ape-men. 1257 01:09:22,556 --> 01:09:24,754 Most people are taught anthropology 1258 01:09:24,756 --> 01:09:26,686 from a secular worldview nowadays. 1259 01:09:26,688 --> 01:09:28,221 And when they do that, they are taught 1260 01:09:28,223 --> 01:09:29,821 an entirely different history. 1261 01:09:29,823 --> 01:09:31,355 People are taught, and I was taught this 1262 01:09:31,357 --> 01:09:32,555 when I went to school as well, 1263 01:09:32,557 --> 01:09:34,721 I was taught, "Hey, we evolved from some ape-like ancestor 1264 01:09:34,723 --> 01:09:36,288 "out of Africa. 1265 01:09:36,290 --> 01:09:38,087 "They migrated out of Africa to the Middle East. 1266 01:09:38,089 --> 01:09:39,487 "We got a little bit smarter. 1267 01:09:39,489 --> 01:09:41,821 "We went from hunters and gatherers to become farmers. 1268 01:09:41,823 --> 01:09:44,422 "Then after that we developed some civilizations. 1269 01:09:44,424 --> 01:09:47,687 "We see Mesopotamia, or Egypt, or the Indus Valley, 1270 01:09:47,689 --> 01:09:48,554 things like that. 1271 01:09:48,556 --> 01:09:49,753 "Then people got smarter 1272 01:09:49,755 --> 01:09:51,287 "and we were able to start building boats 1273 01:09:51,289 --> 01:09:52,687 "and going around to different places. 1274 01:09:52,689 --> 01:09:54,422 "And all of the sudden, 1275 01:09:54,424 --> 01:09:56,821 "we see places like the Roman Empire pop up. 1276 01:09:56,823 --> 01:09:59,087 "Then we transfer all the way up to England, 1277 01:09:59,089 --> 01:10:01,220 "becomes one of the most powerful nations on Earth. 1278 01:10:01,222 --> 01:10:03,087 "Then we transfer over to the Americas. 1279 01:10:03,089 --> 01:10:04,154 "And here we are." 1280 01:10:04,156 --> 01:10:06,553 That's the kind of anthropology that we were taught. 1281 01:10:06,555 --> 01:10:08,554 But if you go back 200 years ago 1282 01:10:08,556 --> 01:10:10,687 and look at anthropology from that perspective 1283 01:10:10,689 --> 01:10:14,220 and for the 2,000 years before that, nobody believed that. 1284 01:10:14,222 --> 01:10:15,820 That is actually a relatively new idea 1285 01:10:15,822 --> 01:10:17,554 based on an evolutionary worldview. 1286 01:10:17,556 --> 01:10:20,288 Anthropology, if you start with God and his word, 1287 01:10:20,290 --> 01:10:21,355 starts with Adam and Eve. 1288 01:10:21,357 --> 01:10:22,754 God creates Adam and Eve! 1289 01:10:22,756 --> 01:10:25,355 You see, what the Bible says, what Genesis says, 1290 01:10:25,357 --> 01:10:28,521 is that on the sixth day of the world, God made two humans. 1291 01:10:28,523 --> 01:10:30,288 He made a whole bunch of monkeys. 1292 01:10:30,290 --> 01:10:32,421 He never made any monkey-humans, 1293 01:10:32,423 --> 01:10:34,488 but that's what they are always looking for in the fossils. 1294 01:10:34,490 --> 01:10:38,054 And one by one, all of the different so-called 1295 01:10:38,056 --> 01:10:40,488 missing link fossils have been reclassified 1296 01:10:40,490 --> 01:10:45,087 as either over to the human side or over to the monkey side. 1297 01:10:45,089 --> 01:10:48,687 Lucy, Lucy, the Australopithecus afarensis, 1298 01:10:48,689 --> 01:10:53,421 discovered by Donald Johanson in 1973, Johanson himself 1299 01:10:53,423 --> 01:10:56,686 said, "Lucy has really been dethroned." 1300 01:10:56,688 --> 01:10:58,521 Meet Lucy. 1301 01:10:58,523 --> 01:11:01,154 The nasal bones do not protrude. 1302 01:11:01,156 --> 01:11:04,355 Do you notice any slope at all to the face? 1303 01:11:04,357 --> 01:11:05,554 Of course. 1304 01:11:05,556 --> 01:11:07,754 Compare the zygomatic arch to the slope. 1305 01:11:07,756 --> 01:11:10,154 Clearly, ape-like. 1306 01:11:10,156 --> 01:11:12,220 What about the forehead. 1307 01:11:12,222 --> 01:11:14,155 Is it flat or curved? 1308 01:11:14,157 --> 01:11:15,490 Absolutely flat. 1309 01:11:16,457 --> 01:11:18,221 When we look from the side, 1310 01:11:18,223 --> 01:11:20,621 the bone comes way out on this flat forehead. 1311 01:11:20,623 --> 01:11:23,422 And it is very difficult to see whether 1312 01:11:23,424 --> 01:11:25,687 there are orbits or eye sockets 1313 01:11:25,689 --> 01:11:27,620 viewed from the side. 1314 01:11:27,622 --> 01:11:29,287 Finally, cranial capacity. 1315 01:11:29,289 --> 01:11:34,290 Lucy has a small brain by ape standards, nevermind human. 1316 01:11:35,555 --> 01:11:36,654 Lucy had a brain one-third the size of ours. 1317 01:11:36,656 --> 01:11:40,486 At full growth, as a full-grown woman, only 65 pounds, 1318 01:11:40,488 --> 01:11:42,154 three and a half feet tall. 1319 01:11:42,156 --> 01:11:43,486 This was a chimp. 1320 01:11:43,488 --> 01:11:47,055 And the drawings and the skeletal diagrams 1321 01:11:47,057 --> 01:11:48,454 of her standing upright, 1322 01:11:48,456 --> 01:11:51,754 this probably would have been very unnatural and painful 1323 01:11:51,756 --> 01:11:54,753 knowing what we know now about the toe bones being curved 1324 01:11:54,755 --> 01:11:57,754 more than on a modern chimp, and many other things 1325 01:11:57,756 --> 01:11:59,422 about the fingers too. 1326 01:11:59,424 --> 01:12:02,553 With a divergent big toe, is what they're calling it now 1327 01:12:02,555 --> 01:12:04,421 as they have discovered more of the fossils. 1328 01:12:04,423 --> 01:12:06,687 That means a thumb on the foot. 1329 01:12:06,689 --> 01:12:09,121 Lucy was a chimp! 1330 01:12:09,123 --> 01:12:12,355 The quest for the elusive missing-link fossil 1331 01:12:12,357 --> 01:12:14,621 between ape-like creatures and humans 1332 01:12:14,623 --> 01:12:17,621 has given rise to some of the grossest examples 1333 01:12:17,623 --> 01:12:20,753 of evolutionary propaganda to date. 1334 01:12:20,755 --> 01:12:24,088 Lucy, who they claim is our distant relative, 1335 01:12:24,090 --> 01:12:25,686 is perhaps the worst. 1336 01:12:25,688 --> 01:12:29,721 To see why, let's isolate a scanned replica 1337 01:12:29,723 --> 01:12:33,354 of the Lucy skull, as evolutionists have imagined it, 1338 01:12:33,356 --> 01:12:36,687 and place it next to the skull of a modern chimpanzee. 1339 01:12:36,689 --> 01:12:40,087 What becomes immediately apparent 1340 01:12:40,089 --> 01:12:42,753 is that the two skulls are nearly identical, 1341 01:12:42,755 --> 01:12:47,321 with the exception that Lucy's brain cavity is even smaller. 1342 01:12:47,323 --> 01:12:49,687 To fuller illustrate this, 1343 01:12:49,689 --> 01:12:53,288 let's pass the Lucy skull into the chimpanzee skull. 1344 01:12:53,290 --> 01:12:56,721 With the two skulls now on top of one another, 1345 01:12:56,723 --> 01:12:59,754 it seems incredibly clear that Lucy 1346 01:12:59,756 --> 01:13:02,754 was just a type of chimpanzee. 1347 01:13:02,756 --> 01:13:04,754 To further illustrate the point, 1348 01:13:04,756 --> 01:13:09,220 let's now pass the Lucy skull into that of a modern human. 1349 01:13:09,222 --> 01:13:13,220 To be gracious, even if we scale Lucy up, 1350 01:13:13,222 --> 01:13:17,087 she still doesn't come close to being human. 1351 01:13:17,089 --> 01:13:20,087 What would your conclusion be on a creature like this? 1352 01:13:20,089 --> 01:13:21,720 I mean, clearly, it's an ape. 1353 01:13:21,722 --> 01:13:24,221 In fact, what's Lucy's scientific name? 1354 01:13:24,223 --> 01:13:26,754 Australopithecus. 1355 01:13:26,756 --> 01:13:29,288 That means southern ape. 1356 01:13:29,290 --> 01:13:32,357 Whatever else we could say about Lucy, she is an ape. 1357 01:13:33,688 --> 01:13:36,421 Let's look at another presumed ancestor of man, 1358 01:13:36,423 --> 01:13:39,220 or a pre-homo sapiens. 1359 01:13:39,222 --> 01:13:40,420 It's neanderthal Man. 1360 01:13:40,422 --> 01:13:42,221 The problem with neanderthals, 1361 01:13:42,223 --> 01:13:43,621 when I was in college, they taught us that 1362 01:13:43,623 --> 01:13:44,788 they were the missing link 1363 01:13:44,790 --> 01:13:46,686 and that they could barely grunt. 1364 01:13:48,257 --> 01:13:50,354 And now we found out that the hypoglossal canal, 1365 01:13:50,356 --> 01:13:54,320 a hole at the base of the skull where a nerve goes out 1366 01:13:54,322 --> 01:13:56,621 to the mouth, so controls our speaking, 1367 01:13:56,623 --> 01:14:01,353 the hypoglossal nerve is the same size in neanderthals 1368 01:14:01,355 --> 01:14:03,486 as in modern people today. 1369 01:14:03,488 --> 01:14:06,687 Monkeys have just a little, thin thread-like nerve. 1370 01:14:06,689 --> 01:14:08,421 They have the hardware, 1371 01:14:08,423 --> 01:14:10,287 they just don't have the software drivers 1372 01:14:10,289 --> 01:14:11,821 to actually talk. 1373 01:14:11,823 --> 01:14:13,787 They think, they have thoughts and probably emotions, 1374 01:14:13,789 --> 01:14:16,788 but they just can't do that like we can. 1375 01:14:16,790 --> 01:14:19,754 Neanderthals obviously could talk. 1376 01:14:19,756 --> 01:14:22,753 We have every bone in neanderthal man's body. 1377 01:14:22,755 --> 01:14:24,486 There's not a missing bone. 1378 01:14:24,488 --> 01:14:26,753 So, we know that the nasal bone is protruded, 1379 01:14:26,755 --> 01:14:28,687 just as you see them there. 1380 01:14:28,689 --> 01:14:30,587 Even this nasal spine down here, 1381 01:14:30,589 --> 01:14:32,420 which is just under your nose, 1382 01:14:32,422 --> 01:14:35,621 the nasal spine is not found on apes either. 1383 01:14:35,623 --> 01:14:37,687 So, we have the spine and we have the protruding nose. 1384 01:14:37,689 --> 01:14:42,088 What about the slope of the face? 1385 01:14:42,090 --> 01:14:43,553 Perpendicular. 1386 01:14:43,555 --> 01:14:48,155 What about the curvature of the forehead? 1387 01:14:48,157 --> 01:14:50,353 It's curved enough that you can see 1388 01:14:50,355 --> 01:14:53,386 into the orbits quite easily from the side. 1389 01:14:53,388 --> 01:14:56,088 Finally, cranial capacity. 1390 01:14:56,090 --> 01:14:58,154 If you compare this skull 1391 01:14:58,156 --> 01:15:00,687 to an adult modern human skull, 1392 01:15:00,689 --> 01:15:04,087 it's about 100 CCs or more, larger. 1393 01:15:04,089 --> 01:15:05,686 What would your conclusion be? 1394 01:15:05,688 --> 01:15:08,087 Is this an ape or is this a human? 1395 01:15:08,089 --> 01:15:09,687 It's obviously a human. 1396 01:15:09,689 --> 01:15:11,221 But if it's a human, 1397 01:15:11,223 --> 01:15:13,188 we expect to find more than just simply the bones. 1398 01:15:13,190 --> 01:15:15,554 We expect some cultural evidence, and we have that. 1399 01:15:15,556 --> 01:15:18,420 We've found, since the time that I was in college 1400 01:15:18,422 --> 01:15:22,486 in the '70s, we've found turquoise and pink-colored 1401 01:15:22,488 --> 01:15:25,421 flax fibers in neanderthal caves. 1402 01:15:25,423 --> 01:15:27,219 They liked colorful clothing. 1403 01:15:27,221 --> 01:15:29,287 They were built better than us. 1404 01:15:29,289 --> 01:15:31,155 They also had bigger brains than us. 1405 01:15:31,157 --> 01:15:32,753 The average human today, 1406 01:15:32,755 --> 01:15:35,620 the braincase is 1200 cubic centimeters. 1407 01:15:35,622 --> 01:15:38,421 In neanderthals, 1400 cubic centimeters. 1408 01:15:38,423 --> 01:15:40,286 We have burial customs. 1409 01:15:40,288 --> 01:15:42,287 We have tools of all different kinds. 1410 01:15:42,289 --> 01:15:43,487 They were good hunters. 1411 01:15:43,489 --> 01:15:45,155 They had strategies. 1412 01:15:45,157 --> 01:15:47,154 They took women on their hunting trips. 1413 01:15:47,156 --> 01:15:49,054 One evolutionist actually said 1414 01:15:49,056 --> 01:15:51,220 that might be why they went extinct. 1415 01:15:51,222 --> 01:15:54,420 Recently, they've found what is arguably a cosmetics kit, 1416 01:15:54,422 --> 01:15:57,353 a couple of scallop shells unhinged with pigments in them. 1417 01:15:57,355 --> 01:15:59,387 They have found what appear to be flutes 1418 01:15:59,389 --> 01:16:01,353 with holes in positions to be playable 1419 01:16:01,355 --> 01:16:02,821 buried with neanderthal man. 1420 01:16:02,823 --> 01:16:04,621 We found a musical instrument, 1421 01:16:04,623 --> 01:16:07,821 a bare bone with holes drilled in it like a flute. 1422 01:16:07,823 --> 01:16:10,055 I don't know if you've ever heard a monkey play a flute, 1423 01:16:10,057 --> 01:16:11,486 but it really doesn't work. 1424 01:16:11,488 --> 01:16:15,187 We find flowers buried in the graves of their dead. 1425 01:16:15,189 --> 01:16:17,088 Animals, monkeys, don't bury their dead. 1426 01:16:17,090 --> 01:16:18,220 Humans do that. 1427 01:16:18,222 --> 01:16:20,687 They had art, religion, culture, language. 1428 01:16:20,689 --> 01:16:22,287 Unquestionably human. 1429 01:16:22,289 --> 01:16:25,654 And yet, when I first bought this model of 1430 01:16:25,656 --> 01:16:28,821 neanderthal man, it was called Homo-sapiens subspecies 1431 01:16:28,823 --> 01:16:30,553 neanderthalensis. 1432 01:16:30,555 --> 01:16:32,687 In other words, they gave it a different subspecies name. 1433 01:16:32,689 --> 01:16:35,788 Today, the scientific designation, the classification, 1434 01:16:35,790 --> 01:16:37,521 for neanderthal man 1435 01:16:37,523 --> 01:16:40,487 is homo-sapiens neanderthalensis. 1436 01:16:40,489 --> 01:16:43,820 And that third word is actually the designation 1437 01:16:43,822 --> 01:16:46,454 of the variety of humans that it is. 1438 01:16:46,456 --> 01:16:48,753 We are now classified as homo-sapiens sapiens. 1439 01:16:48,755 --> 01:16:52,353 So what creation has been saying all along is true. 1440 01:16:52,355 --> 01:16:54,586 Neanderthals were people too! 1441 01:16:54,588 --> 01:16:57,154 100% human. 1442 01:16:57,156 --> 01:16:58,621 And that's true, by the way, of the whole body, 1443 01:16:58,623 --> 01:17:00,153 not just the skull. 1444 01:17:00,155 --> 01:17:01,253 The same experiment 1445 01:17:01,255 --> 01:17:03,421 can be done with neanderthals, 1446 01:17:03,423 --> 01:17:06,354 which evolutionists claim is another branch 1447 01:17:06,356 --> 01:17:08,687 in the transition from apes to humans. 1448 01:17:08,689 --> 01:17:11,686 Let's place the skull of a neanderthal 1449 01:17:11,688 --> 01:17:15,154 next to the skull of a modern human. 1450 01:17:15,156 --> 01:17:17,821 The Neanderthal has the same facial structures. 1451 01:17:17,823 --> 01:17:21,421 We all know that everyone has a uniquely-shaped skull. 1452 01:17:21,423 --> 01:17:23,820 Some people have larger heads, 1453 01:17:23,822 --> 01:17:26,153 some have wider cheek bones, 1454 01:17:26,155 --> 01:17:28,820 broader jaws and brow ridges, 1455 01:17:28,822 --> 01:17:30,621 more slope to their foreheads. 1456 01:17:30,623 --> 01:17:32,686 With the right combination of these traits 1457 01:17:32,688 --> 01:17:34,554 that we see in people today, 1458 01:17:34,556 --> 01:17:39,557 it is easy to see how a neanderthal is simply a human. 1459 01:17:41,822 --> 01:17:44,153 Everyone's been told that there are dozens and dozens 1460 01:17:44,155 --> 01:17:46,686 of these solid missing-link fossils, 1461 01:17:46,688 --> 01:17:48,420 transitional forms, so and so man, 1462 01:17:48,422 --> 01:17:50,054 and Java Man, 1463 01:17:50,056 --> 01:17:51,220 and Piltdown Man, 1464 01:17:51,222 --> 01:17:52,421 and... 1465 01:17:52,423 --> 01:17:53,621 Cro-Magnon Man, neanderthal man. 1466 01:17:53,623 --> 01:17:56,354 Essentially, all of Homo-erectus would be just human beings. 1467 01:17:56,356 --> 01:17:59,219 Don't just believe urban myths of the proofs 1468 01:17:59,221 --> 01:18:03,087 of evolution like junk DNA, like missing-link fossils. 1469 01:18:03,089 --> 01:18:04,686 The secular world teaches that you evolved 1470 01:18:04,688 --> 01:18:06,653 from some ape-like ancestor, that there was no Adam and Eve. 1471 01:18:06,655 --> 01:18:08,420 And since there's no Adam and Eve, 1472 01:18:08,422 --> 01:18:10,287 then there was no fall into sin, 1473 01:18:10,289 --> 01:18:12,219 which means that there is no need for a savior. 1474 01:18:12,221 --> 01:18:14,153 So, see, the secular anthropology 1475 01:18:14,155 --> 01:18:15,754 not only attacks the authority of the Bible, 1476 01:18:15,756 --> 01:18:17,657 but it attacks the very gospel itself. 1477 01:18:46,823 --> 01:18:49,223 "And God said, 1478 01:18:55,289 --> 01:18:56,623 "'Let us make man 1479 01:19:07,822 --> 01:19:09,155 "in our image, 1480 01:19:15,288 --> 01:19:17,390 "after our likeness. 1481 01:20:13,422 --> 01:20:17,756 "And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, 1482 01:20:22,355 --> 01:20:24,757 "and over the fowl of the air, 1483 01:20:26,555 --> 01:20:28,155 "and over the cattle, 1484 01:20:30,155 --> 01:20:32,290 "and over all the earth, 1485 01:20:34,322 --> 01:20:38,319 "and over every creeping thing that creepeth 1486 01:20:38,321 --> 01:20:39,622 "upon the earth." 1487 01:21:33,288 --> 01:21:36,520 I was debating the student Atheist Club president 1488 01:21:36,522 --> 01:21:38,119 at the College of New Jersey. 1489 01:21:38,121 --> 01:21:40,120 He made the statement in his closing comments 1490 01:21:40,122 --> 01:21:42,186 that there were dozens of fossils 1491 01:21:42,188 --> 01:21:47,189 that proved the transition from simians to humans. 1492 01:21:47,688 --> 01:21:49,319 And I said, 1493 01:21:49,321 --> 01:21:51,553 "Now, you said that there were dozens of fossils. 1494 01:21:51,555 --> 01:21:53,554 "Can you name one?" 1495 01:21:53,556 --> 01:21:55,486 He said, "Well, the literature is just replete." 1496 01:21:55,488 --> 01:21:56,354 Blah blah blah. 1497 01:21:56,356 --> 01:21:57,587 "There are so many." 1498 01:21:57,589 --> 01:21:58,754 And I said, "I didn't ask for many. 1499 01:21:58,756 --> 01:22:00,387 "I just asked you for one. 1500 01:22:00,389 --> 01:22:02,386 "Just tell the audience one." 1501 01:22:02,388 --> 01:22:05,788 And he went, "Well, Australopithecus africanus." 1502 01:22:05,790 --> 01:22:07,153 I said to the audience, "Okay." 1503 01:22:07,155 --> 01:22:08,353 I stood up and I said, 1504 01:22:08,355 --> 01:22:10,788 "Now we're gonna learn about urban myths." 1505 01:22:10,790 --> 01:22:12,621 One of the common misconceptions 1506 01:22:12,623 --> 01:22:15,186 that exists in society is that they say 1507 01:22:15,188 --> 01:22:17,720 that humans and chimps are 99% similar. 1508 01:22:17,722 --> 01:22:20,554 I am very disillusioned by the idea 1509 01:22:20,556 --> 01:22:23,220 of using a percentage to describe how similar humans 1510 01:22:23,222 --> 01:22:24,421 and chimps are. 1511 01:22:24,423 --> 01:22:26,420 You cannot use a percent similarity 1512 01:22:26,422 --> 01:22:29,220 to describe common ancestry! 1513 01:22:29,222 --> 01:22:31,219 One of the most popular misconceptions 1514 01:22:31,221 --> 01:22:35,486 held by evolutionists is that birds evolved from dinosaurs. 1515 01:22:35,488 --> 01:22:37,621 What proof do they have, you might ask? 1516 01:22:37,623 --> 01:22:42,153 Well, just look at their similar design, they might say, 1517 01:22:42,155 --> 01:22:44,820 pointing out that both birds and some dinosaurs 1518 01:22:44,822 --> 01:22:46,520 have hollow bones. 1519 01:22:46,522 --> 01:22:50,220 But common features can also be understood 1520 01:22:50,222 --> 01:22:52,487 as evidence for a common designer, 1521 01:22:52,489 --> 01:22:54,686 who didn't need to reinvent the wheel 1522 01:22:54,688 --> 01:22:57,153 every time He created a new kind. 1523 01:22:57,155 --> 01:23:01,187 Humans and frogs both have five digits on their lower limbs, 1524 01:23:01,189 --> 01:23:03,354 but that doesn't mean frogs and humans 1525 01:23:03,356 --> 01:23:05,086 share a common ancestor, 1526 01:23:05,088 --> 01:23:08,486 unless you believe fairy tales, of course! 1527 01:23:08,488 --> 01:23:11,620 It's not too surprising that our chromosomes 1528 01:23:11,622 --> 01:23:14,254 look a lot the same as a chimpanzee's. 1529 01:23:14,256 --> 01:23:16,686 Of all other living things, their biochemistry, 1530 01:23:16,688 --> 01:23:19,254 their physiology, and their body structures 1531 01:23:19,256 --> 01:23:20,553 look the most like us. 1532 01:23:20,555 --> 01:23:23,554 Their DNA ought to look the most like ours too. 1533 01:23:23,556 --> 01:23:25,752 For goodness sake, bananas have DNA 1534 01:23:25,754 --> 01:23:27,453 that is 50% the same as ours. 1535 01:23:27,455 --> 01:23:31,319 So, monkeys should have 80, 90, 98% 1536 01:23:31,321 --> 01:23:32,487 the same DNA. 1537 01:23:32,489 --> 01:23:34,721 Their bodies look that much like ours. 1538 01:23:34,723 --> 01:23:37,687 If evolution was not true and there is a designer, 1539 01:23:37,689 --> 01:23:39,819 a creator God who made those chromosomes 1540 01:23:39,821 --> 01:23:41,753 in the beginning, this is what it would look like. 1541 01:23:41,755 --> 01:23:43,521 When you start looking at the genome 1542 01:23:43,523 --> 01:23:45,753 and the DNA differences and you try to figure out, 1543 01:23:45,755 --> 01:23:47,752 how different are we? 1544 01:23:47,754 --> 01:23:51,254 What makes humans different from everything else? 1545 01:23:51,256 --> 01:23:54,287 This image of God as the Latin phrase Imago Dei. 1546 01:23:54,289 --> 01:23:55,620 What does that mean? 1547 01:23:55,622 --> 01:23:57,287 We're not animals. 1548 01:23:57,289 --> 01:23:58,554 We're different from the animals. 1549 01:23:58,556 --> 01:24:00,187 Human beings have court systems. 1550 01:24:00,189 --> 01:24:02,421 We believe in justice and truth and righteousness 1551 01:24:02,423 --> 01:24:04,187 because we are made in the image of God. 1552 01:24:04,189 --> 01:24:05,620 We are moral creations. 1553 01:24:05,622 --> 01:24:07,287 When you read through Genesis 1, 1554 01:24:07,289 --> 01:24:09,553 it comes to the pinnacle at the very end. 1555 01:24:09,555 --> 01:24:13,553 Humans are created, and behold, it was very good. 1556 01:24:13,555 --> 01:24:15,421 Now when God says that something is very good, 1557 01:24:15,423 --> 01:24:17,086 how good is it? 1558 01:24:17,088 --> 01:24:18,553 It was a perfect creation where there was no death. 1559 01:24:18,555 --> 01:24:20,220 God made the world perfect. 1560 01:24:20,222 --> 01:24:21,820 There was no death or bloodshed 1561 01:24:21,822 --> 01:24:23,752 according to Genesis 1:29, 30. 1562 01:24:23,754 --> 01:24:26,219 Originally, all of the animals were vegetarian 1563 01:24:26,221 --> 01:24:27,620 and mankind was vegetarian. 1564 01:24:27,622 --> 01:24:29,220 We weren't allowed to eat meat until after the flood. 1565 01:24:29,222 --> 01:24:31,286 That's when God first permitted man to eat meat. 1566 01:24:31,288 --> 01:24:32,752 People didn't kill animals for food. 1567 01:24:32,754 --> 01:24:34,686 Animals didn't rip each other up for food. 1568 01:24:34,688 --> 01:24:36,553 Man and the animals were vegetarian. 1569 01:24:36,555 --> 01:24:38,752 For those who don't believe God's word, 1570 01:24:38,754 --> 01:24:40,086 they're living in the present 1571 01:24:40,088 --> 01:24:41,486 and they look around and see death, 1572 01:24:41,488 --> 01:24:43,054 so they assume that death has always been here. 1573 01:24:43,056 --> 01:24:44,420 When I look at the human body, 1574 01:24:44,422 --> 01:24:46,087 I see something that looks like it was designed 1575 01:24:46,089 --> 01:24:48,420 to last forever because we keep turning over our parts. 1576 01:24:48,422 --> 01:24:50,421 That's the way our body is. 1577 01:24:50,423 --> 01:24:52,554 We're created to live forever. 1578 01:24:52,556 --> 01:24:55,354 If your car was operating the way we do, 1579 01:24:55,356 --> 01:24:56,621 where all the parts kept turning over, 1580 01:24:56,623 --> 01:24:58,286 then you scratch the paint and it heals, 1581 01:24:58,288 --> 01:24:59,220 how long would your car last? 1582 01:24:59,222 --> 01:25:01,220 It would last forever. 1583 01:25:01,222 --> 01:25:02,620 So, something went wrong. 1584 01:25:02,622 --> 01:25:05,752 And that flaw was sin that came into the world. 1585 01:25:05,754 --> 01:25:07,686 Death came as a result of man's disobedience. 1586 01:25:07,688 --> 01:25:09,685 So, if evolution is true, 1587 01:25:09,687 --> 01:25:12,685 you have millions of years of death before man sinned 1588 01:25:12,687 --> 01:25:15,054 to bring about death? 1589 01:25:15,056 --> 01:25:17,320 We really have a huge theological problem 1590 01:25:17,322 --> 01:25:19,353 if we accept those millions of years. 1591 01:25:19,355 --> 01:25:21,219 If we accept the millions of years, 1592 01:25:21,221 --> 01:25:23,554 then we are accepting millions of years 1593 01:25:23,556 --> 01:25:26,486 of death and bloodshed and disease and violence, 1594 01:25:26,488 --> 01:25:28,686 all before man comes on the scene. 1595 01:25:28,688 --> 01:25:31,554 But the Bible says that God created the world 1596 01:25:31,556 --> 01:25:33,353 at the beginning and it was very good. 1597 01:25:33,355 --> 01:25:36,719 There was no death and disease and natural disasters. 1598 01:25:36,721 --> 01:25:41,086 It was sin that brought that death and natural evil 1599 01:25:41,088 --> 01:25:42,487 into the world. 1600 01:25:42,489 --> 01:25:45,453 What was the world like in the beginning? 1601 01:25:45,455 --> 01:25:49,319 The Bible describes the early Earth as paradise, 1602 01:25:49,321 --> 01:25:54,356 a lush and beautiful world from pole to pole, 1603 01:25:55,654 --> 01:25:58,554 a world where man, animals, and plants of all kinds 1604 01:25:58,556 --> 01:26:01,090 lived in perfect harmony, 1605 01:26:02,423 --> 01:26:07,089 a world without sickness, disease, pain, or death. 1606 01:26:08,155 --> 01:26:09,686 This golden age of the past, 1607 01:26:09,688 --> 01:26:12,453 reported to us accurately in the Bible, 1608 01:26:12,455 --> 01:26:16,287 is remembered in the legends of human cultures 1609 01:26:16,289 --> 01:26:19,486 throughout our history, where man and animals 1610 01:26:19,488 --> 01:26:24,154 grew to be larger and live much longer than we do today. 1611 01:26:24,156 --> 01:26:27,619 Scientific discoveries reveal fossil representatives 1612 01:26:27,621 --> 01:26:31,153 of every major kind of plant and animal 1613 01:26:31,155 --> 01:26:33,119 that are many times larger 1614 01:26:33,121 --> 01:26:35,620 than their present-day counterparts. 1615 01:26:35,622 --> 01:26:39,490 Fossil insects as large as modern dogs, 1616 01:26:41,722 --> 01:26:45,286 fossil birds with 25-foot wingspans, 1617 01:26:45,288 --> 01:26:50,290 and fish as big as our modern whales to name a few. 1618 01:26:53,355 --> 01:26:58,353 Today, Earth is not paradise anymore. 1619 01:26:58,355 --> 01:27:03,290 So, we must ask, when was paradise lost? 1620 01:27:04,156 --> 01:27:05,023 And why? 1621 01:27:06,289 --> 01:27:09,123 And will we ever see it again? 1622 01:27:30,288 --> 01:27:31,990 "So God created man 1623 01:27:37,155 --> 01:27:41,122 "in his own image, 1624 01:27:46,521 --> 01:27:49,556 "in the image of God created he him. 1625 01:28:17,488 --> 01:28:20,256 "Male and female created he them. 1626 01:28:54,822 --> 01:28:57,190 "And God blessed them, 1627 01:28:58,221 --> 01:29:00,489 "and God said unto them, 1628 01:29:01,821 --> 01:29:07,023 "'Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the Earth, 1629 01:29:09,156 --> 01:29:10,689 "and subdue it. 1630 01:29:20,387 --> 01:29:25,090 "And have dominion over the fish of the sea, 1631 01:29:25,788 --> 01:29:29,553 "and over the fowl of the air, 1632 01:29:29,555 --> 01:29:34,556 "and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.' 1633 01:29:37,289 --> 01:29:42,290 "And God said, 'Behold, I have given you 1634 01:29:43,587 --> 01:29:46,752 "every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face 1635 01:29:46,754 --> 01:29:51,220 "of all the earth, and every tree, 1636 01:29:51,222 --> 01:29:56,086 "in the which is the fruit of a tree-yielding seed, 1637 01:29:56,088 --> 01:29:59,289 "to you it shall be for meat. 1638 01:30:01,488 --> 01:30:04,685 "And to every beast of the earth, 1639 01:30:04,687 --> 01:30:07,752 "and to every fowl of the air, 1640 01:30:07,754 --> 01:30:12,485 "and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, 1641 01:30:12,487 --> 01:30:15,455 "wherein there is life, 1642 01:30:16,754 --> 01:30:21,555 "I have given every green herb for meat.' 1643 01:30:26,521 --> 01:30:27,688 "And it was so. 1644 01:30:51,421 --> 01:30:56,156 "And God saw everything that he had made, 1645 01:30:59,555 --> 01:31:02,156 "and, behold, it was very good. 1646 01:31:59,121 --> 01:32:02,356 "And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. 1647 01:32:16,487 --> 01:32:18,553 Every civilization has a story, 1648 01:32:18,555 --> 01:32:20,686 a story of who God is, who we are, 1649 01:32:20,688 --> 01:32:22,318 why the world is the way that it is. 1650 01:32:22,320 --> 01:32:24,753 What the Bible offers is not just a story but the story. 1651 01:32:24,755 --> 01:32:26,819 It tells us why we're important. 1652 01:32:26,821 --> 01:32:28,686 It also tells us why the world is broken. 1653 01:32:28,688 --> 01:32:31,087 Why do we all get so frustrated that things shouldn't be 1654 01:32:31,089 --> 01:32:32,620 this way when we're at a funeral? 1655 01:32:32,622 --> 01:32:34,252 Why do we find ourselves saying, 1656 01:32:34,254 --> 01:32:36,086 "Why do bad things happen to good people?" 1657 01:32:36,088 --> 01:32:37,753 And, "Why do good things happen to bad people?" 1658 01:32:37,755 --> 01:32:39,685 Genesis explains that. 1659 01:32:39,687 --> 01:32:43,154 The fall was a real spiritual and historical event. 1660 01:32:43,156 --> 01:32:47,218 Real people in history actually violated a law of God, 1661 01:32:47,220 --> 01:32:52,154 that caused our entire race and the creation to fall. 1662 01:32:52,156 --> 01:32:54,486 When Adam and Eve sinned against God, 1663 01:32:54,488 --> 01:32:56,285 God cursed the ground, he cursed the animals, 1664 01:32:56,287 --> 01:32:57,353 and he sentenced man to die. 1665 01:32:57,355 --> 01:32:58,553 Everything changed. 1666 01:32:58,555 --> 01:32:59,820 They realized that they were naked. 1667 01:32:59,822 --> 01:33:01,420 They realized that they were ashamed, 1668 01:33:01,422 --> 01:33:03,353 and the first thing, they tried to cover themselves. 1669 01:33:03,355 --> 01:33:04,753 But those coverings were not good enough. 1670 01:33:04,755 --> 01:33:06,685 The punishment for sin was death, 1671 01:33:06,687 --> 01:33:08,753 so the solution had to involve death. 1672 01:33:08,755 --> 01:33:10,685 At the very beginning, 1673 01:33:10,687 --> 01:33:13,218 when Adam and Eve are making their first mistakes 1674 01:33:13,220 --> 01:33:15,286 and shame and guilt are coming into the equation, 1675 01:33:15,288 --> 01:33:16,553 God immediately gives them a solution. 1676 01:33:16,555 --> 01:33:18,419 "I'm gonna send someone who's gonna bring 1677 01:33:18,421 --> 01:33:19,520 "forgiveness to this problem. 1678 01:33:19,522 --> 01:33:21,686 "In fact, I will immediately cover you." 1679 01:33:21,688 --> 01:33:24,153 God comes and says he covers our shame 1680 01:33:24,155 --> 01:33:26,486 and forgives our guilt. 1681 01:33:26,488 --> 01:33:30,419 The reality of the world is the fact that God exists, 1682 01:33:30,421 --> 01:33:34,486 and that we are separated from God by sin. 1683 01:33:34,488 --> 01:33:36,153 We sin by nature. 1684 01:33:36,155 --> 01:33:37,453 We sin by choice. 1685 01:33:37,455 --> 01:33:38,486 You can agree with everything I say. 1686 01:33:38,488 --> 01:33:40,120 You can believe that the world 1687 01:33:40,122 --> 01:33:41,285 is only thousands of years old 1688 01:33:41,287 --> 01:33:42,485 and you can think that God created it. 1689 01:33:42,487 --> 01:33:44,086 But if you believe that God exists, 1690 01:33:44,088 --> 01:33:45,352 but that's as far as it goes, you've missed the point. 1691 01:33:45,354 --> 01:33:46,353 You looked at the billboard, 1692 01:33:46,355 --> 01:33:48,385 you've seen the ad, but you've missed the point. 1693 01:33:48,387 --> 01:33:49,552 The point is this, 1694 01:33:49,554 --> 01:33:50,787 it's about a relationship with him, 1695 01:33:50,789 --> 01:33:52,686 restoring that relationship with him. 1696 01:33:52,688 --> 01:33:55,353 And the God of the universe loved us enough 1697 01:33:55,355 --> 01:33:57,753 to say, "I wanna demonstrate my invisible attributes 1698 01:33:57,755 --> 01:34:00,420 "everywhere, so that everyone has evidence of me, 1699 01:34:00,422 --> 01:34:02,419 "wherever you live, in whatever time period you live, 1700 01:34:02,421 --> 01:34:04,185 "through the telescope or the microscope." 1701 01:34:04,187 --> 01:34:06,686 And he's calling out to you to have a relationship with him. 1702 01:34:06,688 --> 01:34:09,153 It's not good enough to just believe in God. 1703 01:34:09,155 --> 01:34:12,352 What good does it do if you lead somebody to believe 1704 01:34:12,354 --> 01:34:16,352 in an intelligent designer who is vaguely defined? 1705 01:34:16,354 --> 01:34:18,219 We need to respond to the creator 1706 01:34:18,221 --> 01:34:22,685 and he has spoken uniquely in his word. 1707 01:34:22,687 --> 01:34:24,285 And he has told us in the Bible 1708 01:34:24,287 --> 01:34:27,685 how we can be restored to a right relationship with God. 1709 01:34:27,687 --> 01:34:29,619 God is indeed a God of love, 1710 01:34:29,621 --> 01:34:31,685 but he is also the righteous judge 1711 01:34:31,687 --> 01:34:34,153 and sin must be accounted for. 1712 01:34:34,155 --> 01:34:38,152 The God of the Bible is not only merciful and kind, 1713 01:34:38,154 --> 01:34:40,219 but he is holy and just. 1714 01:34:40,221 --> 01:34:42,620 And every time we sin, we store up his wrath 1715 01:34:42,622 --> 01:34:44,552 that will be revealed on the Day of Judgment. 1716 01:34:44,554 --> 01:34:46,553 God has appointed a day in which he will judge the world 1717 01:34:46,555 --> 01:34:47,485 in righteousness. 1718 01:34:47,487 --> 01:34:48,685 You are a moral creation. 1719 01:34:48,687 --> 01:34:50,753 You have to give an account to God 1720 01:34:50,755 --> 01:34:52,386 for every idle word you've spoken, 1721 01:34:52,388 --> 01:34:53,685 every deed done in darkness 1722 01:34:53,687 --> 01:34:55,152 will be brought out into the light. 1723 01:34:55,154 --> 01:34:56,619 And if that happens on Judgment Day 1724 01:34:56,621 --> 01:34:58,086 and you're found guilty, 1725 01:34:58,088 --> 01:34:59,553 the Bible says that you're heading for Hell. 1726 01:34:59,555 --> 01:35:01,153 But look at the flood. 1727 01:35:01,155 --> 01:35:02,720 Did everybody die in the flood? 1728 01:35:02,722 --> 01:35:04,085 No. 1729 01:35:04,087 --> 01:35:05,485 Even though there was a judgment upon sin, 1730 01:35:05,487 --> 01:35:07,185 the lord still sent a means of salvation. 1731 01:35:07,187 --> 01:35:09,352 You know what, that's a lesson for us today. 1732 01:35:09,354 --> 01:35:11,185 The Flood was God's judgment. 1733 01:35:11,187 --> 01:35:13,452 But at the same that judgment was there, 1734 01:35:13,454 --> 01:35:15,453 he provided an ark of salvation. 1735 01:35:15,455 --> 01:35:17,186 For those people in that day, 1736 01:35:17,188 --> 01:35:19,218 there was a means of escape. 1737 01:35:19,220 --> 01:35:21,685 Everybody on board that boat was spared. 1738 01:35:21,687 --> 01:35:23,787 Those not on board the boat perished. 1739 01:35:23,789 --> 01:35:26,219 The same in our day, 1740 01:35:26,221 --> 01:35:28,752 as God provides for us an Ark of salvation. 1741 01:35:28,754 --> 01:35:30,553 His name is Jesus Christ. 1742 01:35:30,555 --> 01:35:33,153 God loves us and He has provided a way of salvation, 1743 01:35:33,155 --> 01:35:35,620 to the point that he sent his own son into the world 1744 01:35:35,622 --> 01:35:40,622 to satisfy God's condition of death as a penalty for sin. 1745 01:35:41,755 --> 01:35:43,620 He took the penalty of death upon himself 1746 01:35:43,622 --> 01:35:45,619 that should have been ours 1747 01:35:45,621 --> 01:35:50,086 and paid it in full, by himself, for us. 1748 01:35:50,088 --> 01:35:52,252 He wants you to come to him and find forgiveness. 1749 01:35:52,254 --> 01:35:54,085 That forgiveness was so costly 1750 01:35:54,087 --> 01:35:56,653 that he came to Earth and put on matter himself, 1751 01:35:56,655 --> 01:35:58,820 and allowed Himself to be crucified. 1752 01:35:58,822 --> 01:36:01,152 A crown to be pushed upon his head. 1753 01:36:01,154 --> 01:36:03,753 Nails like railroad spikes were pounded into his wrists 1754 01:36:03,755 --> 01:36:05,118 and into his feet. 1755 01:36:05,120 --> 01:36:06,353 And he did that not because he had to. 1756 01:36:06,355 --> 01:36:08,352 He did that because he loved you. 1757 01:36:08,354 --> 01:36:09,619 And he knew that if he didn't, 1758 01:36:09,621 --> 01:36:11,553 if there was any other way... 1759 01:36:11,555 --> 01:36:14,353 If there was any other way, if it wasn't necessary, 1760 01:36:14,355 --> 01:36:17,185 then God would not have put through his only son. 1761 01:36:17,187 --> 01:36:19,620 He wouldn't have turned his back on him 1762 01:36:19,622 --> 01:36:22,086 and allowed the sin of all humans, 1763 01:36:22,088 --> 01:36:24,053 past, present, and future, 1764 01:36:24,055 --> 01:36:27,420 to be laid upon his son as the scapegoat. 1765 01:36:27,422 --> 01:36:28,620 He had to go to the cross. 1766 01:36:28,622 --> 01:36:29,820 He had to be crucified. 1767 01:36:29,822 --> 01:36:32,353 He had to die one of the most grueling deaths 1768 01:36:32,355 --> 01:36:35,118 known in the history of mankind. 1769 01:36:35,120 --> 01:36:38,620 And so, Jesus died for your sins and my sins 1770 01:36:38,622 --> 01:36:40,286 and the sins of the whole world. 1771 01:36:40,288 --> 01:36:41,620 We need Jesus Christ. 1772 01:36:41,622 --> 01:36:45,153 He is the solution to the problem of sin. 1773 01:36:45,155 --> 01:36:46,753 That is indeed the gospel. 1774 01:36:46,755 --> 01:36:49,153 That is indeed the good news. 1775 01:36:49,155 --> 01:36:50,486 But it's only good news 1776 01:36:50,488 --> 01:36:53,352 because it's based on the bad news in Genesis 1777 01:36:53,354 --> 01:36:55,152 because of what Adam and Eve did. 1778 01:36:55,154 --> 01:36:57,153 And because we're all one race, 1779 01:36:57,155 --> 01:36:58,353 because we're all descendants of them, 1780 01:36:58,355 --> 01:37:02,153 we're all born with that sin nature, that tendency to sin. 1781 01:37:02,155 --> 01:37:04,519 If there wasn't an original sin, 1782 01:37:04,521 --> 01:37:08,152 if we aren't born into sin and in need of a savior, 1783 01:37:08,154 --> 01:37:09,419 if we are born okay, 1784 01:37:09,421 --> 01:37:11,520 then maybe we could just be good 1785 01:37:11,522 --> 01:37:13,553 and wouldn't need Jesus to die for us. 1786 01:37:13,555 --> 01:37:15,218 But that's just not reality. 1787 01:37:15,220 --> 01:37:16,552 It's not good theology. 1788 01:37:16,554 --> 01:37:17,553 It isn't even good logic. 1789 01:37:17,555 --> 01:37:20,619 Just as God made one man who brought death, 1790 01:37:20,621 --> 01:37:22,286 Jesus is the new man who brings life. 1791 01:37:22,288 --> 01:37:24,352 Just as there was an ark, and in that ark 1792 01:37:24,354 --> 01:37:26,286 you find that there's one way in 1793 01:37:26,288 --> 01:37:28,619 and that one way is the way of deliverance 1794 01:37:28,621 --> 01:37:30,086 that will save you from judgment. 1795 01:37:30,088 --> 01:37:31,553 And so too, Jesus comes and says, 1796 01:37:31,555 --> 01:37:33,352 "I am the way and the truth and the life. 1797 01:37:33,354 --> 01:37:35,652 "And by coming to me, there is a future judgment coming, 1798 01:37:35,654 --> 01:37:37,552 "But I have made a way to rescue you from that." 1799 01:37:37,554 --> 01:37:39,286 Just as Abraham had only one begotten son 1800 01:37:39,288 --> 01:37:41,419 whom he was willing to sacrifice, 1801 01:37:41,421 --> 01:37:43,153 Jesus is the only begotten son 1802 01:37:43,155 --> 01:37:44,420 that our heavenly father was willing to sacrifice. 1803 01:37:44,422 --> 01:37:47,086 And then there's Joseph who was rejected, 1804 01:37:47,088 --> 01:37:49,419 thrown into the pit, thought to be dead, 1805 01:37:49,421 --> 01:37:50,753 later found resurrected. 1806 01:37:50,755 --> 01:37:52,420 Sounds a lot like someone in the New Testament! 1807 01:37:52,422 --> 01:37:53,620 And then we move into the Exodus 1808 01:37:53,622 --> 01:37:55,186 and we see that he is the ultimate Deliverer, 1809 01:37:55,188 --> 01:37:56,219 He's the ultimate Passover, 1810 01:37:56,221 --> 01:37:57,620 he's the ultimate lawgiver. 1811 01:37:57,622 --> 01:38:00,453 Jesus is all over Genesis 1812 01:38:00,455 --> 01:38:02,085 and the deeper you look into it, 1813 01:38:02,087 --> 01:38:04,153 the more you find that the whole book 1814 01:38:04,155 --> 01:38:05,485 points directly to him. 1815 01:38:05,487 --> 01:38:07,486 And so right here in Genesis, chapter one, 1816 01:38:07,488 --> 01:38:10,486 it's all about Jesus Christ. 1817 01:38:10,488 --> 01:38:12,652 We call Jesus Christ himself the word. 1818 01:38:12,654 --> 01:38:14,420 He is the word of God. 1819 01:38:14,422 --> 01:38:16,553 He is the way by which we know God. 1820 01:38:16,555 --> 01:38:19,653 Who has ever had his name used as a cuss word? 1821 01:38:19,655 --> 01:38:22,419 Nobody, except Jesus Christ. 1822 01:38:22,421 --> 01:38:24,085 He said, "The world hates me 1823 01:38:24,087 --> 01:38:28,053 "because I testify of its deeds, that they are evil." 1824 01:38:28,055 --> 01:38:29,585 And so, we use his name in blasphemy, 1825 01:38:29,587 --> 01:38:31,218 the name that is above all names. 1826 01:38:31,220 --> 01:38:32,586 We lust, we lie, we steal. 1827 01:38:32,588 --> 01:38:34,686 That's why we have suffering, disease, pain, and death. 1828 01:38:34,688 --> 01:38:37,553 But, it gives great hope for this fallen creations in death 1829 01:38:37,555 --> 01:38:41,219 that God invaded this world and through the cross 1830 01:38:41,221 --> 01:38:44,086 opened up the doors of everlasting life for humanity. 1831 01:38:44,088 --> 01:38:46,786 Jesus Christ is the son of God who is infinite. 1832 01:38:46,788 --> 01:38:50,353 He became a man and he died the infinite punishment 1833 01:38:50,355 --> 01:38:51,553 that we all deserve. 1834 01:38:51,555 --> 01:38:52,819 The infinite son took the infinite punishment 1835 01:38:52,821 --> 01:38:54,353 from the infinite father, 1836 01:38:54,355 --> 01:38:56,085 and that satisfied the wrath of God. 1837 01:38:56,087 --> 01:38:59,286 And the Lord offers the free gift of salvation as a result. 1838 01:38:59,288 --> 01:39:00,452 And that's the God who I love. 1839 01:39:00,454 --> 01:39:01,819 That's the God whom I want to know. 1840 01:39:01,821 --> 01:39:03,685 And I want to know him because he loved me enough 1841 01:39:03,687 --> 01:39:05,218 not just to sort of watch from a distance 1842 01:39:05,220 --> 01:39:06,453 and love everybody. 1843 01:39:06,455 --> 01:39:08,185 He loved me enough to get in the game 1844 01:39:08,187 --> 01:39:09,353 and to die in my behalf. 1845 01:39:09,355 --> 01:39:11,218 And that is the story of the Bible. 1846 01:39:11,220 --> 01:39:13,553 Jesus Christ, who walked the Earth as a man, 1847 01:39:13,555 --> 01:39:15,819 who loved us enough to take upon himself 1848 01:39:15,821 --> 01:39:18,753 our punishment, to go to the cross, to taste death, 1849 01:39:18,755 --> 01:39:20,153 to shed his blood 1850 01:39:20,155 --> 01:39:22,252 that we could be with him in heaven forever. 1851 01:39:22,254 --> 01:39:25,619 Those who reject him spend eternity separated from God. 1852 01:39:25,621 --> 01:39:28,386 What a horror that any human being 1853 01:39:28,388 --> 01:39:31,420 could end up in a terrible place, damned in Hell. 1854 01:39:31,422 --> 01:39:33,552 And so, we plead with people and say, 1855 01:39:33,554 --> 01:39:35,318 "Look, God is rich in mercy 1856 01:39:35,320 --> 01:39:37,753 "and He provided a savior in Jesus Christ! 1857 01:39:37,755 --> 01:39:41,553 "God became a human being and suffered and died on a cross 1858 01:39:41,555 --> 01:39:43,453 "to take the punishment for the sin of the world. 1859 01:39:43,455 --> 01:39:46,485 "We broke God's law and Jesus paid our fine." 1860 01:39:46,487 --> 01:39:47,685 It's as simple as that. 1861 01:39:47,687 --> 01:39:49,785 If someone pays your fine, the judge can say, 1862 01:39:49,787 --> 01:39:50,819 "You're out of here. 1863 01:39:50,821 --> 01:39:52,485 "Your case is dismissed!" 1864 01:39:52,487 --> 01:39:54,352 That is what God can do for you and I. 1865 01:39:54,354 --> 01:39:56,619 Our sins can be washed away! 1866 01:39:56,621 --> 01:39:58,420 God can commute our death sentence 1867 01:39:58,422 --> 01:40:00,552 and let us live forever 1868 01:40:00,554 --> 01:40:02,452 because of the suffering, death, and the resurrection 1869 01:40:02,454 --> 01:40:03,686 of Jesus Christ. 1870 01:40:03,688 --> 01:40:05,586 What we are commanded to do is repent of our sins 1871 01:40:05,588 --> 01:40:08,585 and trust alone in Jesus. 1872 01:40:08,587 --> 01:40:11,553 Anyone who would repent, who would turn from their sin, 1873 01:40:11,555 --> 01:40:13,585 who would say, "God, I'm a sinner. 1874 01:40:13,587 --> 01:40:14,818 "I deserve Your judgment, 1875 01:40:14,820 --> 01:40:19,086 "but I put my trust in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior." 1876 01:40:19,088 --> 01:40:22,552 That person can be forgiven and restored to a right 1877 01:40:22,554 --> 01:40:24,620 relationship with the creator. 1878 01:40:24,622 --> 01:40:27,485 We have to believe in the true and living God 1879 01:40:27,487 --> 01:40:30,253 who is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1880 01:40:30,255 --> 01:40:34,755 And we need to trust in him for our salvation. 1881 01:43:29,844 --> 01:43:34,844 Subtitles by explosiveskull 149130
