Going
live in 5, 4, 3, 2.
4
00:00:37,505 --> 00:00:39,806
I just want to give a big
shoutout to our sponsor.
5
00:00:39,807 --> 00:00:41,842
Remember, when you spend
money on their products,
6
00:00:41,843 --> 00:00:43,911
you help spread the
gospel of atheism.
7
00:00:43,912 --> 00:00:44,877
That's true.
8
00:00:44,878 --> 00:00:46,446
And now is that
fun time in our show
9
00:00:46,447 --> 00:00:49,516
when my trusty sidekick,
Benji, joins me and peruses
10
00:00:49,517 --> 00:00:51,117
some of our comments.
What you got, bro?
11
00:00:51,118 --> 00:00:52,419
You know, Trey,
typically, we like
12
00:00:52,420 --> 00:00:53,754
to hear from our supporters.
13
00:00:53,755 --> 00:00:55,856
But I figured,
today's a special day.
14
00:00:55,857 --> 00:00:58,191
Let's hear a rant from somebody
trying to preach at us.
15
00:00:58,192 --> 00:00:58,992
Sure.
16
00:00:58,993 --> 00:01:00,594
So here it goes.
17
00:01:00,595 --> 00:01:02,362
What do you offer the world?
18
00:01:02,363 --> 00:01:04,297
You make disgusting
jokes about Christians
19
00:01:04,298 --> 00:01:05,766
and then yuk it up
like you've said
20
00:01:05,767 --> 00:01:07,701
something brilliantly amusing.
21
00:01:07,702 --> 00:01:10,937
Well, it's all fun and games
for you until someone gets hurt.
22
00:01:10,938 --> 00:01:12,306
That's my favorite part.
23
00:01:12,307 --> 00:01:14,241
And that'll be you at
the throne of judgment,
24
00:01:14,242 --> 00:01:16,242
where the God who holds
all heathen and derision
25
00:01:16,243 --> 00:01:17,577
shall have the last laugh.
26
00:01:17,578 --> 00:01:19,379
Oh, I'm shaking
in my boots, Benji.
27
00:01:19,380 --> 00:01:21,247
Oh, me as well,
a Christian clown.
28
00:01:21,248 --> 00:01:22,516
Would you like to hear another?
29
00:01:22,517 --> 00:01:23,316
Sure.
30
00:01:23,317 --> 00:01:24,317
Perfect.
31
00:01:24,318 --> 00:01:26,152
Robert Jastrow wrote,
at this moment,
32
00:01:26,153 --> 00:01:27,721
it seems as though
science will never
33
00:01:27,722 --> 00:01:30,491
be able to raise the curtain
on the mystery of creation.
34
00:01:30,492 --> 00:01:32,326
For the scientist who
has lived by his faith
35
00:01:32,327 --> 00:01:35,662
and the power of reason, the
story ends like a bad dream.
36
00:01:35,663 --> 00:01:37,297
He's scaled the
mountains of ignorance,
37
00:01:37,298 --> 00:01:39,066
and he's about to
conquer the highest peak.
38
00:01:39,067 --> 00:01:41,301
And as he pulls himself
over that final rock,
39
00:01:41,302 --> 00:01:43,336
he's greeted by a band of
theologians who've been
40
00:01:43,337 --> 00:01:44,937
sitting there-- get this--
41
00:01:44,938 --> 00:01:46,039
for centuries.
42
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,774
Oh, I'm getting sick
to my stomach, Benji.
43
00:01:47,775 --> 00:01:49,709
Oh, I hear you.
44
00:01:49,710 --> 00:01:50,877
So here's what I'm thinking.
45
00:01:50,878 --> 00:01:52,479
Let's switch gears
because I'm tired of that.
46
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:53,481
Mm-hmm.
47
00:01:53,482 --> 00:01:54,314
Let's hear from
one of the good guys.
48
00:01:54,315 --> 00:01:55,649
Let's do it.
49
00:01:55,650 --> 00:01:59,752
I'm just so glad my mind is
not "inslaved"-- with an I--
50
00:01:59,753 --> 00:02:00,821
by religion.
51
00:02:00,822 --> 00:02:02,222
Makes me feel bad
for Christians.
52
00:02:02,223 --> 00:02:05,057
But I know that I've helped
a few escape their bondage.
53
00:02:05,058 --> 00:02:06,226
"Inslaved"?
54
00:02:06,227 --> 00:02:07,761
Yeah, I think his English
needs a little work.
55
00:02:07,762 --> 00:02:09,096
Yeah, I would agree with you.
56
00:02:09,097 --> 00:02:11,364
See, but I'm proud of the guy
because, ultimately, we've
57
00:02:11,365 --> 00:02:14,034
been able to help multiple
people find freedom in atheism
58
00:02:14,035 --> 00:02:16,336
and deconstruct their
Christian faith.
59
00:02:16,337 --> 00:02:17,704
And here's what I'm thinking.
60
00:02:17,705 --> 00:02:21,041
With everyone's support out
there, we can help a lot more.
61
00:02:21,042 --> 00:02:22,642
You bet.
62
00:02:34,322 --> 00:02:35,789
Ooh la la.
63
00:02:35,790 --> 00:02:37,757
Look at this babe.
64
00:02:37,758 --> 00:02:39,726
You better put your
tongue back in your mouth
65
00:02:39,727 --> 00:02:41,661
before you step on it.
66
00:02:41,662 --> 00:02:44,031
Eh, she's not bad.
67
00:02:44,032 --> 00:02:45,164
Not bad?
68
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:47,134
Uh, it's time for you
to see your optometrist.
69
00:02:47,135 --> 00:02:49,802
She is drop-dead
gorgeous, a real beauty.
70
00:02:49,803 --> 00:02:51,271
Yeah, not that it matters.
71
00:02:51,272 --> 00:02:52,506
She's way out of your league.
72
00:02:52,507 --> 00:02:54,541
Pete's sake, you wear
the same shirt every day.
73
00:02:54,542 --> 00:02:55,542
Hey, watch your tongue.
74
00:02:55,543 --> 00:02:57,011
I'm just saying,
get real, right?
75
00:02:57,012 --> 00:02:58,912
We're nerds, eggheads.
76
00:02:58,913 --> 00:03:01,647
Girls like that, they end up
with the cool guys like movie
77
00:03:01,648 --> 00:03:05,252
stars and jocks and doctors,
not biologists, chemists,
78
00:03:05,253 --> 00:03:06,819
and certainly not physicists.
79
00:03:06,820 --> 00:03:09,722
OK, speak for yourself because
I'm not just a scientist.
80
00:03:09,723 --> 00:03:11,024
I'm a YouTube celebrity.
81
00:03:11,025 --> 00:03:13,192
Right, no, I forgot, a
legend in your own mind.
82
00:03:13,193 --> 00:03:15,329
So then why don't you go
ask her out, then, legend?
83
00:03:15,330 --> 00:03:16,296
Oh, no, no, no, no.
84
00:03:16,297 --> 00:03:17,431
I don't have time.
85
00:03:17,432 --> 00:03:18,666
No.
Ah-huh.
86
00:03:18,667 --> 00:03:19,733
No, that's what I figured.
87
00:03:23,370 --> 00:03:24,171
What?
88
00:03:24,172 --> 00:03:25,171
What's so funny?
89
00:03:25,172 --> 00:03:26,672
You remember that
video I did making
90
00:03:26,673 --> 00:03:28,307
fun of that
creationist movie where
91
00:03:28,308 --> 00:03:30,611
the old guy goes to college
campuses and crusades
92
00:03:30,612 --> 00:03:31,411
against evolution?
93
00:03:31,412 --> 00:03:32,546
Oh, Debating my Gramps.
94
00:03:32,547 --> 00:03:33,412
That's a classic.
95
00:03:33,413 --> 00:03:34,881
Gramps wants to debate me.
96
00:03:34,882 --> 00:03:35,982
- Are you serious?
- Yeah.
97
00:03:35,983 --> 00:03:37,351
What a trip.
98
00:03:37,352 --> 00:03:39,086
I mean, you got, what, 400,000
views on that video already.
99
00:03:39,087 --> 00:03:42,822
So say you debate him, you'd
get at least that many,
100
00:03:42,823 --> 00:03:44,791
which means ka-ching, Trey.
101
00:03:44,792 --> 00:03:46,392
Probably so.
102
00:03:46,393 --> 00:03:48,327
Plus, it'd be fun
whittling him down to size.
103
00:03:48,328 --> 00:03:50,162
Though, not much of a challenge.
104
00:03:50,163 --> 00:03:53,199
I mean, he's not a major
creationist like a Steven Meyer
105
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,969
or Ken Ham, but you can still
crush him, humiliate him,
106
00:03:55,970 --> 00:03:58,004
make it like the Christians
versus the gladiators
107
00:03:58,005 --> 00:04:01,207
in the Colosseum, though,
that's Rome, not LA.
108
00:04:01,208 --> 00:04:03,209
Duh, everybody knows that.
109
00:04:03,210 --> 00:04:04,544
Just chill out a little bit.
110
00:04:04,545 --> 00:04:06,446
He's just fighting for
what he believes in.
111
00:04:06,447 --> 00:04:08,181
If he respects me,
I'll respect him.
112
00:04:08,182 --> 00:04:08,982
All right.
113
00:04:08,983 --> 00:04:11,017
No, and say he doesn't?
114
00:04:11,018 --> 00:04:12,719
I'll get out my
whittling knife.
115
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:13,519
Bingo.
116
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:14,621
Oh.
117
00:04:14,622 --> 00:04:15,422
What?
118
00:04:15,423 --> 00:04:18,124
There goes your big shot.
119
00:04:18,125 --> 00:04:19,592
Well, you'll probably
never see her
120
00:04:19,593 --> 00:04:21,361
again, except in your dreams.
121
00:04:31,305 --> 00:04:32,907
Challenge accepted.
122
00:04:36,043 --> 00:04:37,844
Now what do I do for an encore?
123
00:04:37,845 --> 00:04:42,150
Oh, Lord, I'm gonna to
need your help here.
124
00:04:57,665 --> 00:04:58,464
It's your dime.
125
00:04:58,465 --> 00:04:59,566
Start talking.
126
00:04:59,567 --> 00:05:00,634
- Trey?
- Yeah.
127
00:05:00,635 --> 00:05:01,434
Who's this?
128
00:05:01,435 --> 00:05:02,536
Douglas Connors?
129
00:05:02,537 --> 00:05:06,606
Oh, Gramps, the man,
the myth, the legend.
130
00:05:06,607 --> 00:05:08,709
So I heard you want to
have a little debate
131
00:05:08,710 --> 00:05:10,511
about evolution, huh?
132
00:05:10,512 --> 00:05:13,246
Well, I'm not so sure
I want to have a debate.
133
00:05:13,247 --> 00:05:15,549
It just seems to be
something I need to do.
134
00:05:15,550 --> 00:05:16,982
Well, now, do
you have some sort
135
00:05:16,983 --> 00:05:19,752
of formal training in science
that I'm not aware of?
136
00:05:19,753 --> 00:05:21,854
Not really.
137
00:05:21,855 --> 00:05:23,857
I just read a lot of stuff.
138
00:05:23,858 --> 00:05:26,626
For example, I just read a
book called Evolution's Echoes,
139
00:05:26,627 --> 00:05:28,527
which recommended
I read another book
140
00:05:28,528 --> 00:05:30,731
called Evolution Impossible.
141
00:05:30,732 --> 00:05:33,132
I highly suggest you
check out those books.
142
00:05:33,133 --> 00:05:35,936
Yeah, I'll pass.
143
00:05:35,937 --> 00:05:38,371
So I guess this would
be a situation where I'm
144
00:05:38,372 --> 00:05:40,607
dueling with an unarmed man?
145
00:05:40,608 --> 00:05:42,576
Maybe.
146
00:05:42,577 --> 00:05:46,412
Goliath probably had
similar thoughts.
147
00:05:46,413 --> 00:05:47,481
Goliath?
148
00:05:47,482 --> 00:05:49,049
So you think that
you're David and gonna
149
00:05:49,050 --> 00:05:51,284
to save your people from
the big, bad, loudmouth,
150
00:05:51,285 --> 00:05:53,352
atheist, giant?
151
00:05:53,353 --> 00:05:56,889
Trey, I don't think a whole
lot about myself, period.
152
00:05:56,890 --> 00:05:59,826
This-- this is not about me.
153
00:05:59,827 --> 00:06:00,961
Well, I'll tell you what.
154
00:06:00,962 --> 00:06:02,529
I'm not much into formal debate.
155
00:06:02,530 --> 00:06:05,466
So why don't we just have a
civil conversation between us,
156
00:06:05,467 --> 00:06:07,567
and you can ask me
questions about evolution?
157
00:06:07,568 --> 00:06:11,071
And I'll educate you.
158
00:06:11,072 --> 00:06:13,072
I guess that'll work.
159
00:06:13,073 --> 00:06:14,474
I do have to warn you though.
160
00:06:14,475 --> 00:06:16,909
God will be mentioned
in this discussion.
161
00:06:16,910 --> 00:06:19,446
Well, I am not crazy
about that prospect.
162
00:06:19,447 --> 00:06:21,447
Well, if you're afraid--
163
00:06:21,448 --> 00:06:22,416
No, no, no.
164
00:06:22,417 --> 00:06:24,117
No, no, no, Douglas,
I am not afraid.
165
00:06:24,118 --> 00:06:25,486
You bring it on.
166
00:06:25,487 --> 00:06:27,954
Now, can you do this
live in a studio, or will
167
00:06:27,955 --> 00:06:29,856
we need to do this remotely?
168
00:06:29,857 --> 00:06:32,126
I'm not big on travel.
169
00:06:32,127 --> 00:06:33,692
Where's your studio?
170
00:06:33,693 --> 00:06:35,596
Lexington, Kentucky.
171
00:06:35,597 --> 00:06:37,231
Really?
172
00:06:37,232 --> 00:06:39,499
My daughters live there.
173
00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:41,367
It's not that far a drive.
174
00:06:41,368 --> 00:06:43,036
Jeez, I'd love to
see them again.
175
00:06:43,037 --> 00:06:45,706
Yeah, let's do it live.
176
00:06:45,707 --> 00:06:46,972
All right, you got it.
177
00:06:46,973 --> 00:06:49,076
I'll check the schedule,
and I'll get back with you
178
00:06:49,077 --> 00:06:50,644
with some dates that work.
179
00:06:50,645 --> 00:06:52,112
Sounds like a plan.
180
00:06:52,113 --> 00:06:53,312
Have a good one.
181
00:06:53,313 --> 00:06:54,148
All right, Gramps.
182
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,255
Any prayer requests?
183
00:07:04,425 --> 00:07:06,759
Well, I could use some prayer.
184
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,262
I'm gonna have a debate with
a young atheist who happens
185
00:07:09,263 --> 00:07:11,231
to be a scientist and
has quite a following
186
00:07:11,232 --> 00:07:13,032
out on his social media.
187
00:07:13,033 --> 00:07:15,869
You know, I know I'm not
qualified to carry out
188
00:07:15,870 --> 00:07:18,504
such intellectual
combat, but I just
189
00:07:18,505 --> 00:07:20,874
felt like God was just
pulling me up the ladder
190
00:07:20,875 --> 00:07:22,942
and dragging me out to the
end of the diving board
191
00:07:22,943 --> 00:07:25,479
and nudging me off
into the deep end.
192
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,749
So I'm gonna to need a little
prayer here that God will speak
193
00:07:29,750 --> 00:07:33,019
through me because if my own
puny knowledge in this topic
194
00:07:33,020 --> 00:07:38,959
was dynamite, I wouldn't
have enough to blow my nose.
195
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,861
Well, my wife has
a degree in zoology,
196
00:07:41,862 --> 00:07:44,797
and she'd be more than happy
to help you prepare for that.
197
00:07:44,798 --> 00:07:49,002
Wow, it's really generous
of you to offer her time.
198
00:07:49,003 --> 00:07:51,671
You know, I'm gonna
politely decline that offer,
199
00:07:51,672 --> 00:07:54,241
maybe save you some
marital mayhem.
200
00:07:54,242 --> 00:07:56,476
You know, scripture tells
us that when we get called
201
00:07:56,477 --> 00:07:58,979
before the judges not
to think in advance what
202
00:07:58,980 --> 00:08:00,514
we're going to say
but let the spirit
203
00:08:00,515 --> 00:08:02,482
lead and speak through us.
204
00:08:02,483 --> 00:08:05,886
I think that passage refers
to how you should respond when
205
00:08:05,887 --> 00:08:07,554
the authorities detain you.
206
00:08:07,555 --> 00:08:11,124
You know, like advice for
apostles on martyrdom.
207
00:08:11,125 --> 00:08:13,861
Yeah, maybe you're right.
208
00:08:13,862 --> 00:08:16,662
But I just feel that
there's not enough evidence
209
00:08:16,663 --> 00:08:22,134
or sufficient logical arguments
to sway a militaristic atheist
210
00:08:22,135 --> 00:08:25,237
and especially one who's built
his life without God upon
211
00:08:25,238 --> 00:08:28,107
the foundations of evolution.
212
00:08:28,108 --> 00:08:30,509
Only the Holy Spirit can
penetrate their defenses
213
00:08:30,510 --> 00:08:32,879
and reach their
heart and their mind.
214
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,681
Yeah, but what
about his audience?
215
00:08:34,682 --> 00:08:38,651
I mean, couldn't there perhaps
be some among them that are not
216
00:08:38,652 --> 00:08:42,722
quite so hardcore, some that
maybe keep a partially open mind
217
00:08:42,723 --> 00:08:45,124
that maybe you
could reach with one
218
00:08:45,125 --> 00:08:47,192
of your compelling arguments?
219
00:08:47,193 --> 00:08:49,496
Maybe so, John, maybe so.
220
00:08:49,497 --> 00:08:53,866
But with so little time to
prepare and my advanced age,
221
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:55,636
I just can't see how
cramming for that test
222
00:08:55,637 --> 00:08:57,471
is gonna pay any real dividends.
223
00:08:57,472 --> 00:09:01,374
I think I need to just
throw myself on God's mercy
224
00:09:01,375 --> 00:09:04,011
and let him do his thing.
225
00:09:04,012 --> 00:09:05,646
If you change your
mind, let me know.
226
00:09:05,647 --> 00:09:07,112
Will do.
Thank you.
227
00:09:07,113 --> 00:09:08,082
Anybody else?
228
00:09:24,098 --> 00:09:25,464
Excuse me.
229
00:09:25,465 --> 00:09:27,367
If you're looking for a table,
you can share mine with me.
230
00:09:27,368 --> 00:09:28,567
Oh, that's kind of you.
231
00:09:28,568 --> 00:09:29,370
Thanks.
232
00:09:32,607 --> 00:09:35,776
I can't tell you how good
it feels to get off my feet.
233
00:09:35,777 --> 00:09:36,609
Why not?
234
00:09:36,610 --> 00:09:37,811
Is it a secret?
235
00:09:37,812 --> 00:09:39,679
Are you one of those
guys I'm going to have
236
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:41,614
to watch my phraseology with.
237
00:09:41,615 --> 00:09:43,049
I do keep people
on their toes.
238
00:09:43,050 --> 00:09:46,286
Oh, and here I was
trying to get off mine.
239
00:09:46,287 --> 00:09:48,287
The issue is a hard
hospital floor.
240
00:09:48,288 --> 00:09:50,089
Oh, you're a nurse?
241
00:09:50,090 --> 00:09:51,224
Physician.
242
00:09:51,225 --> 00:09:53,159
Really, they
let people practice
243
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,561
medicine at such a young age?
244
00:09:55,562 --> 00:09:58,331
Is your vision that bad,
or are you a compliment male?
245
00:09:58,332 --> 00:10:00,934
I'm pretty sure nobody's
ever accused me of being that.
246
00:10:00,935 --> 00:10:02,336
I'm Trey, by the way.
247
00:10:02,337 --> 00:10:05,104
Trey by the way, your first
name rhymes with your last.
248
00:10:05,105 --> 00:10:06,472
Oh, a sense of humor.
249
00:10:06,473 --> 00:10:10,877
I like it-- beauty, brains,
and banter all in one package.
250
00:10:10,878 --> 00:10:12,144
I didn't catch yours.
251
00:10:12,145 --> 00:10:13,546
I didn't throw it.
252
00:10:13,547 --> 00:10:17,684
Humph, OK, well, I guess I'll
call you Beauty until you do.
253
00:10:17,685 --> 00:10:21,287
So Beauty, do you reveal your
real name on the second date?
254
00:10:21,288 --> 00:10:22,522
Second date?
255
00:10:22,523 --> 00:10:25,057
I sure hope you don't
consider this a first date.
256
00:10:25,058 --> 00:10:26,326
I don't believe in dating.
257
00:10:26,327 --> 00:10:27,727
You don't believe in dating?
258
00:10:27,728 --> 00:10:30,764
Well, I can provide plenty of
evidence that dating exists.
259
00:10:30,765 --> 00:10:31,864
It's kind of my thing.
260
00:10:31,865 --> 00:10:33,366
Bit of a science geek.
261
00:10:33,367 --> 00:10:36,202
I'm not sure what science
has to do with social dating,
262
00:10:36,203 --> 00:10:37,737
but I don't need proof.
263
00:10:37,738 --> 00:10:39,006
I know it exists.
264
00:10:39,007 --> 00:10:40,807
I just don't join
in the practice.
265
00:10:40,808 --> 00:10:44,177
Well, why not, if I
may be so bold to ask?
266
00:10:44,178 --> 00:10:47,381
Dating is a fairy tale world.
267
00:10:47,382 --> 00:10:50,884
A handsome young man asks out
a girl whose appearance makes
268
00:10:50,885 --> 00:10:52,552
his heart go thumpity-thump.
269
00:10:52,553 --> 00:10:53,986
He probably has
no clue what she's
270
00:10:53,987 --> 00:10:56,089
really like as a real person.
271
00:10:56,090 --> 00:10:58,257
They go on a date, maybe
dinner and a movie.
272
00:10:58,258 --> 00:11:00,126
They spend most of the
time in the restaurant
273
00:11:00,127 --> 00:11:03,496
chewing their food and a
few hours in the theater.
274
00:11:03,497 --> 00:11:05,331
They could spend four
hours together and not
275
00:11:05,332 --> 00:11:08,167
know much more about each other
than before the night started.
276
00:11:08,168 --> 00:11:10,336
So they go on a
second date to fix that.
277
00:11:10,337 --> 00:11:11,737
And do it all over again.
278
00:11:11,738 --> 00:11:14,241
I mean, no matter what they do,
it's always something pleasant,
279
00:11:14,242 --> 00:11:16,642
and they're always on
their best behavior.
280
00:11:16,643 --> 00:11:18,977
Their hormones are
percolating, so they
281
00:11:18,978 --> 00:11:21,314
think they're in love
and jump into marriage
282
00:11:21,315 --> 00:11:24,851
with great expectations
and little wisdom.
283
00:11:24,852 --> 00:11:26,719
After the rice
has been swept up,
284
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,989
they suddenly realize that
everything that bugs them
285
00:11:29,990 --> 00:11:32,291
is suddenly brought to light.
286
00:11:32,292 --> 00:11:33,892
Whoa.
287
00:11:33,893 --> 00:11:36,696
You've just dissected
dating as if it were a frog
288
00:11:36,697 --> 00:11:38,931
and crammed it into a
jar of formaldehyde.
289
00:11:38,932 --> 00:11:41,134
Ah, you really are
a science geek, huh?
290
00:11:41,135 --> 00:11:42,234
Yeah.
291
00:11:42,235 --> 00:11:43,902
Well, OK, so you're a doctor.
292
00:11:43,903 --> 00:11:45,906
That means we have a
mutual interest in science.
293
00:11:45,907 --> 00:11:47,907
I think that's cool.
294
00:11:47,908 --> 00:11:50,911
You know, you can tell a
lot about a person by what
295
00:11:50,912 --> 00:11:52,512
kind of coffee they drink.
296
00:11:52,513 --> 00:11:55,749
What sort of a exotic
mixture you got in that cup?
297
00:11:55,750 --> 00:11:56,682
Green tea.
298
00:11:56,683 --> 00:11:57,817
I don't like coffee.
299
00:11:57,818 --> 00:12:00,552
Oh, well, I'm batting
about zero right now.
300
00:12:00,553 --> 00:12:02,556
Hmm, sports analogy.
301
00:12:02,557 --> 00:12:04,022
Science guy can diversify.
302
00:12:04,023 --> 00:12:07,026
Thank you for noticing.
303
00:12:07,027 --> 00:12:10,229
Well, I better get
back to the hospital.
304
00:12:10,230 --> 00:12:11,431
Duty calls.
305
00:12:11,432 --> 00:12:13,599
Will I see you again?
306
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,936
My dad used to sing this
song, Que Sera, Sera--
307
00:12:16,937 --> 00:12:19,272
whatever will be, will be.
308
00:12:19,273 --> 00:12:21,341
Oh, I thought
that was Doris Day.
309
00:12:21,342 --> 00:12:22,676
Oh, I made her laugh.
310
00:12:22,677 --> 00:12:25,644
My life is totally not in vain.
311
00:12:25,645 --> 00:12:26,446
Jeweli.
312
00:12:26,447 --> 00:12:27,246
Excuse me?
313
00:12:27,247 --> 00:12:28,714
My name is Jeweli.
314
00:12:28,715 --> 00:12:30,216
And your last name?
315
00:12:30,217 --> 00:12:32,619
I have a feeling if
I gave you that, you'd
316
00:12:32,620 --> 00:12:35,354
break a leg or something
so you'd need a doctor.
317
00:12:35,355 --> 00:12:36,722
Why didn't I think of that?
318
00:12:36,723 --> 00:12:38,324
OK, well, if you won't
tell me your last name,
319
00:12:38,325 --> 00:12:40,492
will you at least tell me
what hospital you work at?
320
00:12:40,493 --> 00:12:41,594
Thanks for the chair.
321
00:12:41,595 --> 00:12:42,796
Have a good day.
322
00:12:42,797 --> 00:12:44,597
Wait, wait, wait, at least
take my car just in case
323
00:12:44,598 --> 00:12:45,732
you get the urge to call.
324
00:12:55,977 --> 00:12:58,944
Hey, Siri, who are the
doctors in Lexington,
325
00:12:58,945 --> 00:13:01,481
Kentucky with the name Julie--
326
00:13:01,482 --> 00:13:04,517
J-U-L-I-E or J-U-L-I?
327
00:13:04,518 --> 00:13:06,186
Sorry, I couldn't
find any doctors
328
00:13:06,187 --> 00:13:10,456
named Julie in Lexington.
329
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,967
So I figured if you'd hide out
in the garden and didn't answer
330
00:13:21,968 --> 00:13:23,636
the door, I'd go away.
331
00:13:23,637 --> 00:13:27,907
Oh, Dad, I can't believe you
braved the traffic to
332
00:13:27,908 --> 00:13:29,209
come visit me.
333
00:13:29,210 --> 00:13:30,610
I know how much you hate
the big cities.
334
00:13:31,312 --> 00:13:33,547
Not that Lexington is
exactly huge.
335
00:13:33,947 --> 00:13:35,015
Well, it's too big for me.
336
00:13:36,150 --> 00:13:37,852
You know, you could come
visit me sometime.
337
00:13:38,852 --> 00:13:40,520
Yeah, so when's your debate?
338
00:13:42,923 --> 00:13:43,823
Tomorrow at 10:00 AM.
339
00:13:44,625 --> 00:13:45,192
Are you nervous?
340
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,528
Nervous at my age, Lori.
341
00:13:49,263 --> 00:13:51,932
About the only thing that makes
me nervous is driving in
heavy traffic.
342
00:13:53,267 --> 00:13:56,469
Though I am just a little
concerned that I might be cannon
343
00:13:56,470 --> 00:13:58,171
fodder for this guy's mockery
tomorrow.
344
00:13:58,172 --> 00:13:59,673
Be anxious and nothing.
345
00:13:59,973 --> 00:14:01,208
You will be fine.
346
00:14:01,742 --> 00:14:03,410
Okay, well, come on in.
347
00:14:03,443 --> 00:14:04,644
Let's get you settled.
348
00:14:04,645 --> 00:14:05,612
Let me get my stuff first.
349
00:14:05,812 --> 00:14:07,047
All right, you need help?
350
00:14:07,748 --> 00:14:09,717
Lori, I'm a guy.
351
00:14:10,918 --> 00:14:11,752
- Enough said.
- Yeah.
352
00:14:19,327 --> 00:14:21,361
Welcome to another
episode of Chilling
353
00:14:21,362 --> 00:14:23,329
with the Renegade Scientist.
354
00:14:23,330 --> 00:14:26,032
My guest today is
Douglas Connors.
355
00:14:26,033 --> 00:14:28,834
He is a writer and maker
of Christian movies.
356
00:14:28,835 --> 00:14:29,802
Welcome, Douglas.
357
00:14:29,803 --> 00:14:31,171
Thank you, Trey.
358
00:14:31,172 --> 00:14:34,206
So Douglas wanted to have a
conversation about evolution.
359
00:14:34,207 --> 00:14:38,011
And obviously, he has some
difficulty embracing the truth.
360
00:14:38,012 --> 00:14:40,779
So Douglas, let's just
first off and tell
361
00:14:40,780 --> 00:14:43,016
me why you are antiscience?
362
00:14:43,017 --> 00:14:44,817
Hold on!
363
00:14:44,818 --> 00:14:47,252
I'm not antiscience.
364
00:14:47,253 --> 00:14:50,356
I am antipseudoscience
and definitely anti
365
00:14:50,357 --> 00:14:53,859
political science, which
involves a study where
366
00:14:53,860 --> 00:14:56,329
the results are
intentionally skewed based
367
00:14:56,330 --> 00:14:58,731
on who paid for the research--
368
00:14:58,732 --> 00:15:01,967
for example, a study on
the dangers of butter
369
00:15:01,968 --> 00:15:06,306
paid for by the margarine
industry, or vice versa.
370
00:15:06,307 --> 00:15:09,041
Not all, quote
unquote, "science"
371
00:15:09,042 --> 00:15:11,611
is-- is equal, you know?
372
00:15:11,612 --> 00:15:14,212
Me, I'm all about the truth.
373
00:15:14,213 --> 00:15:15,814
Me too.
374
00:15:15,815 --> 00:15:19,251
So what is your primary
objection to evolution?
375
00:15:19,252 --> 00:15:22,154
Ooh, so many to choose from.
376
00:15:22,155 --> 00:15:25,724
Well, my biggest
objection is this,
377
00:15:25,725 --> 00:15:31,131
that despite the fact that the
ideas generated by evolution
378
00:15:31,132 --> 00:15:33,932
concerning the flora and
fauna that we see around us,
379
00:15:33,933 --> 00:15:35,901
they're historical
in nature and can't
380
00:15:35,902 --> 00:15:39,506
be replicated and
tested in the laboratory
381
00:15:39,507 --> 00:15:41,074
using the scientific method.
382
00:15:41,075 --> 00:15:43,642
Even though that's
true, these ideas
383
00:15:43,643 --> 00:15:46,946
are forced down kids throats
and other people's throats
384
00:15:46,947 --> 00:15:51,384
all over the world as if
they're slam dunk factual.
385
00:15:51,385 --> 00:15:54,654
And no real discussion
about other explanations
386
00:15:54,655 --> 00:15:57,122
and possibilities
is even permitted.
387
00:15:57,123 --> 00:15:59,326
OK, so just to
be clear here, you
388
00:15:59,327 --> 00:16:01,461
are not advocating that
the teaching of evolution
389
00:16:01,462 --> 00:16:02,729
be removed from the classroom?
390
00:16:02,730 --> 00:16:03,796
Not at all.
391
00:16:03,797 --> 00:16:06,332
No, my mantra is,
teach the controversy.
392
00:16:06,333 --> 00:16:09,869
Get kids to think
and present the idea,
393
00:16:09,870 --> 00:16:12,672
one that's been believed
by billions of people
394
00:16:12,673 --> 00:16:17,542
over the centuries, that an
omnipotent creator designed
395
00:16:17,543 --> 00:16:22,181
this universe and specifically
this planet and all the life
396
00:16:22,182 --> 00:16:25,951
forms therein right
alongside Darwin
397
00:16:25,952 --> 00:16:29,789
and all those neo-Darwinists
who evolved his theory.
398
00:16:29,790 --> 00:16:32,091
That's material
for religion class.
399
00:16:32,092 --> 00:16:34,794
Religion and science
should not be mingled.
400
00:16:34,795 --> 00:16:38,297
Well, my definition of
science is the discovery
401
00:16:38,298 --> 00:16:42,434
by man of the world that God
created with all its laws
402
00:16:42,435 --> 00:16:44,804
and its elements
and its properties
403
00:16:44,805 --> 00:16:47,572
as confirmed by the
scientific method.
404
00:16:47,573 --> 00:16:50,442
I'm afraid, Douglas, you
don't get to define science.
405
00:16:50,443 --> 00:16:52,677
You should probably stick
to defining religion.
406
00:16:52,678 --> 00:16:54,781
The Bible already did that.
407
00:16:54,782 --> 00:16:57,082
James wrote that
pure religion is
408
00:16:57,083 --> 00:16:59,586
to visit widows and
orphans in their distress
409
00:16:59,587 --> 00:17:02,021
and keep oneself
unspotted from the world.
410
00:17:02,022 --> 00:17:04,857
Oh, I bet the Muslims
and the Hindus and the Jews
411
00:17:04,858 --> 00:17:06,326
and about a zillion
other religions
412
00:17:06,327 --> 00:17:08,094
are just thrilled to hear that.
413
00:17:08,095 --> 00:17:11,064
And by the way, there are a lot
of atheists who give charity
414
00:17:11,065 --> 00:17:13,232
to orphans and widows
and live according
415
00:17:13,233 --> 00:17:14,601
to their own moral standards.
416
00:17:14,602 --> 00:17:18,737
Oh, so everyone gets to set
their own moral standards?
417
00:17:18,738 --> 00:17:22,207
There's no universal standard
that applies to everybody?
418
00:17:22,208 --> 00:17:24,511
Well, that's the beauty
of not believing in God.
419
00:17:24,512 --> 00:17:27,346
He can't force his
values onto us.
420
00:17:27,347 --> 00:17:28,714
But we digress.
421
00:17:28,715 --> 00:17:31,484
Our conversation was supposed
to be focused on evolution.
422
00:17:31,485 --> 00:17:33,219
Let's get back on track.
423
00:17:33,220 --> 00:17:35,387
Okey-dokey.
424
00:17:35,388 --> 00:17:38,057
Um, let me throw
some names at you.
425
00:17:38,058 --> 00:17:39,257
OK.
426
00:17:39,258 --> 00:17:43,229
Franklin Harold, who
happens to be a biochemist--
427
00:17:43,230 --> 00:17:44,464
that's a scientist.
428
00:17:44,465 --> 00:17:45,997
Ugh, Douglas.
429
00:17:45,998 --> 00:17:48,701
He wrote in a book that was
published by Oxford University
430
00:17:48,702 --> 00:17:53,839
Press, there are presently no
detailed Darwinian accounts
431
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,742
of the evolution of any
biochemical or cellular system,
432
00:17:57,743 --> 00:18:01,581
only a variety of
wishful speculations.
433
00:18:01,582 --> 00:18:04,316
Well, that's
one man's opinion.
434
00:18:04,317 --> 00:18:05,917
One scientist's opinion.
435
00:18:05,918 --> 00:18:07,652
OK, one scientist's
opinion, but there
436
00:18:07,653 --> 00:18:10,289
are a myriad of other scientists
who will disagree with him.
437
00:18:10,290 --> 00:18:11,224
And one thing I just--
438
00:18:11,225 --> 00:18:12,624
I think we have
to point out here
439
00:18:12,625 --> 00:18:17,062
right now is that interpretation
is key in the quest for truth.
440
00:18:17,063 --> 00:18:18,864
First, Douglas, there's
the interpretation
441
00:18:18,865 --> 00:18:20,232
of the evidence itself.
442
00:18:20,233 --> 00:18:21,867
And then we have to
interpret the words
443
00:18:21,868 --> 00:18:24,704
of the scientists who are
describing their interpretation
444
00:18:24,705 --> 00:18:26,739
of that evidence.
445
00:18:26,740 --> 00:18:28,007
That's a good point.
446
00:18:28,008 --> 00:18:31,477
Yeah, but what did Harold
really mean when he said,
447
00:18:31,478 --> 00:18:34,212
detailed Darwinian accounts?
448
00:18:34,213 --> 00:18:36,949
It seems like the devil is
always in the details, huh?
449
00:18:36,950 --> 00:18:38,484
Well, I don't
believe in the devil.
450
00:18:38,485 --> 00:18:39,686
Go figure.
451
00:18:39,687 --> 00:18:41,987
Well, in my
experience, just about
452
00:18:41,988 --> 00:18:45,424
every evolutionist
interprets all evidence
453
00:18:45,425 --> 00:18:47,492
as confirming evolution.
454
00:18:47,493 --> 00:18:50,262
And if they can't do that, they
either reject that evidence
455
00:18:50,263 --> 00:18:52,597
or ignore it, along with
the people who bring
456
00:18:52,598 --> 00:18:54,300
that evidence to the table.
457
00:18:57,203 --> 00:19:01,874
You creationists have
such a persecution complex.
458
00:19:01,875 --> 00:19:04,076
Well, maybe with reason.
459
00:19:04,077 --> 00:19:07,246
You know, it's bad enough
to ignore evidence.
460
00:19:07,247 --> 00:19:09,347
But I think it's even
worse to manufacture it.
461
00:19:09,348 --> 00:19:12,051
And you guys do that sometimes.
462
00:19:12,052 --> 00:19:14,554
Let me cite a concrete example.
463
00:19:14,555 --> 00:19:16,622
Don't worry, I won't
mention Nebraska
464
00:19:16,623 --> 00:19:19,091
Man or Haeckel's drawings.
465
00:19:19,092 --> 00:19:23,129
Richard Dawkins
likes to demonstrate
466
00:19:23,130 --> 00:19:27,566
how evolution works using
a computer program analogy.
467
00:19:27,567 --> 00:19:29,334
So there's a computer
program that's
468
00:19:29,335 --> 00:19:33,572
going to spell out a phrase,
methinks it is like a weasel.
469
00:19:33,573 --> 00:19:36,542
So let's see if I can
explain this so even
470
00:19:36,543 --> 00:19:39,277
a scientist can understand it.
471
00:19:39,278 --> 00:19:41,079
Let's start with the
letter A. So we got
472
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,647
a one-celled organism, an A.
473
00:19:42,648 --> 00:19:43,882
OK.
474
00:19:43,883 --> 00:19:46,686
Well, the computer is going
to generate a new letter
475
00:19:46,687 --> 00:19:49,622
and it's going to compare that
against and see if it gets
476
00:19:49,623 --> 00:19:52,024
a capital M because it's
looking for a capital M.
477
00:19:52,025 --> 00:19:53,859
And it gets an O. It
says no, throw it away.
478
00:19:53,860 --> 00:19:54,927
It goes again.
479
00:19:54,928 --> 00:19:57,362
It randomly generates
another mutation.
480
00:19:57,363 --> 00:19:58,797
It's a P. Throw it away.
481
00:19:58,798 --> 00:20:01,066
And then it comes up
with a capital M finally.
482
00:20:01,067 --> 00:20:05,137
And it mutates that A into
an M. So now, we've got an M.
483
00:20:05,138 --> 00:20:07,372
But it keeps on
generating mutations.
484
00:20:07,373 --> 00:20:12,344
And we come across, finally,
after about 25 tries, a small e.
485
00:20:12,345 --> 00:20:15,414
So now it appends
that onto the M.
486
00:20:15,415 --> 00:20:17,416
Now we got a
two-celled organism.
487
00:20:17,417 --> 00:20:19,886
It spells M-E. And
it continues that
488
00:20:19,887 --> 00:20:22,087
whole process until
it spells out,
489
00:20:22,088 --> 00:20:24,056
methinks it is like a weasel.
490
00:20:24,057 --> 00:20:27,927
And then the program just stops.
491
00:20:27,928 --> 00:20:29,461
And your point?
492
00:20:29,462 --> 00:20:32,231
My point?
493
00:20:32,232 --> 00:20:34,934
First of all, the
computer knows the answer.
494
00:20:34,935 --> 00:20:38,204
It knows where to drop in
every one of those letters
495
00:20:38,205 --> 00:20:40,739
and knows when to stop.
496
00:20:40,740 --> 00:20:43,109
Natural selection doesn't
have any intelligence
497
00:20:43,110 --> 00:20:45,644
to make such a decision.
498
00:20:45,645 --> 00:20:48,281
You know, it doesn't
know what the goal is.
499
00:20:48,282 --> 00:20:49,849
In fact, it doesn't
understand goals.
500
00:20:49,850 --> 00:20:50,949
It doesn't have
any understanding.
501
00:20:50,950 --> 00:20:52,317
It doesn't have
any intelligence.
502
00:20:52,318 --> 00:20:54,987
It don't know squat.
503
00:20:54,988 --> 00:20:58,257
You know, it doesn't
have any brakes either
504
00:20:58,258 --> 00:21:01,394
and can't start mutations,
and much less stop them.
505
00:21:01,395 --> 00:21:04,329
So in real life, if you've got
to have mutations happening,
506
00:21:04,330 --> 00:21:06,231
there's nothing to
stop them, we could
507
00:21:06,232 --> 00:21:10,002
end up with a sentence, methinks
Richard Dawkins is a weasel.
508
00:21:10,003 --> 00:21:14,974
You know, this whole analogy
is a logical hot mess.
509
00:21:14,975 --> 00:21:16,909
But when Richard
Dawkins trots out
510
00:21:16,910 --> 00:21:18,911
his little dog and
pony show, people
511
00:21:18,912 --> 00:21:21,146
like you stand up and cheer.
512
00:21:21,147 --> 00:21:25,151
And if someone like me says, you
know, the emperor doesn't have
513
00:21:25,152 --> 00:21:29,354
any clothes on, we get
laughed out of Dodge City
514
00:21:29,355 --> 00:21:31,256
like we're some kind of idiots.
515
00:21:31,257 --> 00:21:33,592
You know, I don't know
enough about computers to doubt
516
00:21:33,593 --> 00:21:34,927
or even criticize Dawkins.
517
00:21:34,928 --> 00:21:36,127
Oh, how convenient.
518
00:21:36,128 --> 00:21:37,262
Well, I do.
519
00:21:37,263 --> 00:21:39,231
In fact, out of
curiosity, I wrote
520
00:21:39,232 --> 00:21:41,232
a program to do exactly this.
521
00:21:41,233 --> 00:21:43,236
It took me 17 minutes.
522
00:21:43,237 --> 00:21:45,237
Runs on my PC in
less than a second.
523
00:21:45,238 --> 00:21:47,906
It took about 8,000,
on average, mutations
524
00:21:47,907 --> 00:21:49,676
to spell out the whole phrase.
525
00:21:49,677 --> 00:21:51,611
Am I supposed to be
impressed with that?
526
00:21:51,612 --> 00:21:52,744
Fat chance of that.
527
00:21:52,745 --> 00:21:56,349
But that's not my goal.
528
00:21:56,350 --> 00:21:58,284
Let me drop another name here.
529
00:21:58,285 --> 00:22:00,352
James Tour is a
scientist who likes
530
00:22:00,353 --> 00:22:03,756
to debate other scientists
using science only,
531
00:22:03,757 --> 00:22:05,624
even though he is a Christian.
532
00:22:05,625 --> 00:22:08,727
But his opponents always
attack his scientific arguments
533
00:22:08,728 --> 00:22:12,097
by labeling him as a
Christian and a creationist,
534
00:22:12,098 --> 00:22:14,166
as if that invalidates
any evidence
535
00:22:14,167 --> 00:22:17,369
that he brings to the table.
536
00:22:17,370 --> 00:22:19,972
He goes out of his way
not to mention God.
537
00:22:19,973 --> 00:22:23,642
And they always have to bring up
the fact that he is religious.
538
00:22:23,643 --> 00:22:25,044
Tour is an idiot.
539
00:22:25,045 --> 00:22:27,012
So you've solved
one of his challenges?
540
00:22:27,013 --> 00:22:30,216
You know, he said that if
anybody solves one of them,
541
00:22:30,217 --> 00:22:32,584
he'll take down every
one of his videos.
542
00:22:32,585 --> 00:22:35,254
Douglas, he specializes
in the origins of life.
543
00:22:35,255 --> 00:22:38,391
That does not involve
evolution, which is my focus,
544
00:22:38,392 --> 00:22:42,261
and involves the changes
within life, not its inception.
545
00:22:42,262 --> 00:22:45,197
And that's also not the focus
of our discussion today.
546
00:22:45,198 --> 00:22:48,501
I really hate to come across
sounding like a dictator here,
547
00:22:48,502 --> 00:22:51,637
but I must insist that
we keep our conversation
548
00:22:51,638 --> 00:22:53,004
steered towards that topic.
549
00:22:53,005 --> 00:22:56,241
So, OK, just so we're on
the same page, what is
550
00:22:56,242 --> 00:22:58,777
your definition of evolution?
551
00:22:58,778 --> 00:23:00,112
Definitions are critical.
552
00:23:00,113 --> 00:23:01,246
Yeah.
553
00:23:01,247 --> 00:23:03,149
In fact, we should have
started this discussion
554
00:23:03,150 --> 00:23:05,151
with this question.
555
00:23:05,152 --> 00:23:10,956
OK, my definition of evolution
involves macroevolution.
556
00:23:10,957 --> 00:23:13,259
I have no problem
with microevolution,
557
00:23:13,260 --> 00:23:17,429
which is changes and
adaptations within a species.
558
00:23:17,430 --> 00:23:23,836
Now, macroevolution is the
goo to you via the zoo theory
559
00:23:23,837 --> 00:23:27,472
that all life started out
as one-celled organisms
560
00:23:27,473 --> 00:23:30,042
and progressed through
millions of years
561
00:23:30,043 --> 00:23:33,146
through gradual
nondirected mutations
562
00:23:33,147 --> 00:23:37,149
through the DNA which proved
to be advantageous to survival.
563
00:23:37,150 --> 00:23:38,351
Really?
564
00:23:38,352 --> 00:23:40,252
Well, no wonder you'd
have a problem with that.
565
00:23:40,253 --> 00:23:41,954
I would have a
problem with evolution
566
00:23:41,955 --> 00:23:43,322
based on that definition.
567
00:23:43,323 --> 00:23:45,157
You know, evolution is
so much more complex
568
00:23:45,158 --> 00:23:47,092
than just mutation selection.
569
00:23:47,093 --> 00:23:50,262
First of all, microevolution
demonstrates the process
570
00:23:50,263 --> 00:23:52,597
that leads to macroevolution.
571
00:23:52,598 --> 00:23:54,366
And there's lots
of other changes
572
00:23:54,367 --> 00:23:57,436
that are involved than
just mutation selection.
573
00:23:57,437 --> 00:24:01,006
Are you familiar with
the term epigenetics?
574
00:24:01,007 --> 00:24:01,841
No.
575
00:24:01,842 --> 00:24:05,111
OK, how about alleles?
576
00:24:05,112 --> 00:24:06,712
No.
577
00:24:06,713 --> 00:24:07,912
OK, thought so.
578
00:24:07,913 --> 00:24:10,182
Well, without any changes
to the DNA sequencing,
579
00:24:10,183 --> 00:24:12,551
epigenetic expression
changes lead
580
00:24:12,552 --> 00:24:17,022
to new functionality in the
phenotype containing that DNA.
581
00:24:17,023 --> 00:24:20,392
And the natural stressors
also lead to such alterations.
582
00:24:20,393 --> 00:24:22,094
Without such knowledge,
Douglas, you're
583
00:24:22,095 --> 00:24:25,664
not equipped to just go poking
holes in any scientific theory.
584
00:24:25,665 --> 00:24:27,599
And there's lots of
Christians out there
585
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,767
who accept both
God and evolution.
586
00:24:29,768 --> 00:24:32,904
The two don't have to
be mutually exclusive.
587
00:24:32,905 --> 00:24:36,341
Though, I personally find
the idea of God in heaven
588
00:24:36,342 --> 00:24:40,046
to be repulsive.
589
00:24:40,047 --> 00:24:44,482
Well, Richard Dawkins did say
one thing that I agree with.
590
00:24:44,483 --> 00:24:48,687
He said that the Bible,
the God of the Bible,
591
00:24:48,688 --> 00:24:51,222
and macroevolution
are not compatible.
592
00:24:51,223 --> 00:24:53,359
They can't coexist.
593
00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:56,194
You know, if God
created everything,
594
00:24:56,195 --> 00:24:59,932
all life, as he says
he does in the Bible,
595
00:24:59,933 --> 00:25:02,801
and there is evolution, that
means that he created all
596
00:25:02,802 --> 00:25:07,339
those beings with the ability
to mutate and to evolve,
597
00:25:07,340 --> 00:25:09,341
which means there was
intelligence involved,
598
00:25:09,342 --> 00:25:10,676
and he directed it.
599
00:25:10,677 --> 00:25:13,979
And by very definition of
evolution, which you will admit,
600
00:25:13,980 --> 00:25:18,651
there can be no direction
or intelligence involved.
601
00:25:18,652 --> 00:25:22,687
You know, to rephrase the old
chicken versus egg question,
602
00:25:22,688 --> 00:25:26,959
which came first, DNA,
or the first mutation
603
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,794
what brought about a change?
604
00:25:28,795 --> 00:25:31,731
And while you're struggling
with that conundrum,
605
00:25:31,732 --> 00:25:33,332
I'm gonna throw out
the bold statement
606
00:25:33,333 --> 00:25:36,401
that only a creator
could explain the coding
607
00:25:36,402 --> 00:25:38,871
sequences that we find in DNA.
608
00:25:38,872 --> 00:25:41,206
Well, let me throw in a
name for you, Douglas, Stephen
609
00:25:41,207 --> 00:25:44,242
Hawking Stephen Hawking said,
religion is a fairy tale
610
00:25:44,243 --> 00:25:45,677
for people afraid of the dark.
611
00:25:45,678 --> 00:25:46,477
Ah-huh.
612
00:25:46,478 --> 00:25:47,679
Mm-hmm.
613
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,481
And John Lennox said that
atheism is a fairy tale
614
00:25:49,482 --> 00:25:51,851
for people afraid of the light.
615
00:25:51,852 --> 00:25:53,652
Oh, brother.
616
00:25:53,653 --> 00:25:57,222
Lennox is a mathematician
and a senile old man.
617
00:25:57,223 --> 00:25:59,324
Senile?
618
00:25:59,325 --> 00:26:01,694
That's probably your
assessment of me.
619
00:26:01,695 --> 00:26:06,197
You know, I really think that
we cannot preclude common sense
620
00:26:06,198 --> 00:26:08,267
and logic when we're
discussing science
621
00:26:08,268 --> 00:26:13,004
which can't be proven in the
lab with scientific method.
622
00:26:13,005 --> 00:26:15,374
You know, to actually
arrive at truth,
623
00:26:15,375 --> 00:26:19,611
we have to be able to follow
evidence where it leads.
624
00:26:19,612 --> 00:26:23,549
You know, if you omit design
as a possibility of explaining
625
00:26:23,550 --> 00:26:26,852
the complexity and the
diversity of life around us,
626
00:26:26,853 --> 00:26:29,387
I'm afraid that you've
eliminated the possibility
627
00:26:29,388 --> 00:26:32,857
of obtaining truth.
628
00:26:32,858 --> 00:26:36,862
And around and around and
around in circles we go.
629
00:26:36,863 --> 00:26:40,232
Douglas, I'm just afraid
we're not gonna agree on this.
630
00:26:40,233 --> 00:26:41,566
Could be.
631
00:26:41,567 --> 00:26:44,669
I would just advise
you that eternity
632
00:26:44,670 --> 00:26:47,072
is a long time to be wrong.
633
00:26:47,073 --> 00:26:50,442
Oh, was I supposed
to be afraid of that?
634
00:26:50,443 --> 00:26:52,277
OK, well, we're gonna
to take a quick break.
635
00:26:52,278 --> 00:26:55,381
And we will be right back
with more scintillating debate
636
00:26:55,382 --> 00:26:57,649
on Chilling With the
Renegade Scientist.
637
00:26:57,650 --> 00:26:58,452
Be right back.
638
00:27:01,553 --> 00:27:04,722
My sister is late, as usual.
639
00:27:04,723 --> 00:27:07,559
If she's not here soon, I'm
dishing up the food, Dad.
640
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,962
Oh, there she is.
641
00:27:14,900 --> 00:27:15,701
Hey.
642
00:27:15,702 --> 00:27:17,736
Honey.
643
00:27:17,737 --> 00:27:19,037
How did the debate go?
644
00:27:19,038 --> 00:27:22,307
Oh, I think I bombed it.
645
00:27:22,308 --> 00:27:24,142
Really, why?
646
00:27:24,143 --> 00:27:26,444
Well, I was doing pretty
good at the beginning.
647
00:27:26,445 --> 00:27:27,846
I think I was holding my own.
648
00:27:27,847 --> 00:27:30,449
And then we had an
intermission with a commercial,
649
00:27:30,450 --> 00:27:32,817
and he started throwing
scientific terms at me
650
00:27:32,818 --> 00:27:33,919
and got me all rattled.
651
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,254
And I started to hem and haw.
652
00:27:36,255 --> 00:27:38,457
And I couldn't think of the
things I should have said
653
00:27:38,458 --> 00:27:41,559
until I drove back to Lori's.
654
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,962
I was about as
authoritative as Mr. Rogers.
655
00:27:44,963 --> 00:27:47,666
You know, when I first got
into this culture clash gig,
656
00:27:47,667 --> 00:27:50,036
I pondered reverting
back to the old me when
657
00:27:50,037 --> 00:27:54,439
I had a sword-like wit and I was
not afraid or ashamed to use it.
658
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,241
But that just didn't
seem to be the way
659
00:27:56,242 --> 00:27:57,809
Jesus would want me to roll.
660
00:27:57,810 --> 00:28:01,012
So I just try to have
respect for everybody,
661
00:28:01,013 --> 00:28:03,549
even when I'm arguing
with people like him.
662
00:28:03,550 --> 00:28:05,651
Who is him, and did he
attack you personally?
663
00:28:05,652 --> 00:28:08,721
Well, he goes by the handle,
The Renegade Scientist.
664
00:28:08,722 --> 00:28:11,957
And no, he was nice,
bit misguided, but nice.
665
00:28:11,958 --> 00:28:15,594
Though, he did kind of treat
me like an infant whose mouth
666
00:28:15,595 --> 00:28:18,597
he was trying to spoon Pablum.
667
00:28:18,598 --> 00:28:22,201
You know, I would use a
different word for what he was
668
00:28:22,202 --> 00:28:25,071
trying to feed me,
but I try not to use
669
00:28:25,072 --> 00:28:27,939
words like that, especially
in front of you guys.
670
00:28:27,940 --> 00:28:29,707
You know, the
kicker is, this dude
671
00:28:29,708 --> 00:28:33,412
said that Heaven, with all
its peace and love and joy,
672
00:28:33,413 --> 00:28:35,614
sounded like a repulsive place.
673
00:28:35,615 --> 00:28:37,949
I mean, how can you
even reach somebody who
674
00:28:37,950 --> 00:28:39,384
doesn't want to go to Heaven?
675
00:28:39,385 --> 00:28:40,352
Yeah.
676
00:28:40,353 --> 00:28:42,054
Wow, that's a
tough nut to crack.
677
00:28:42,055 --> 00:28:45,357
Yeah, tell me.
678
00:28:45,358 --> 00:28:48,092
It just hurts my heart when
I meet people like him.
679
00:28:48,093 --> 00:28:52,064
I read their comments
online and their opinions.
680
00:28:52,065 --> 00:28:56,501
Like, the combative spirit
just comes out in me, you know?
681
00:28:56,502 --> 00:28:59,204
But then when I
meet 'em in person,
682
00:28:59,205 --> 00:29:02,107
compassion just kind
of oozes out of me.
683
00:29:02,108 --> 00:29:05,111
How do you get entangled with
these guys in the first place?
684
00:29:05,112 --> 00:29:06,677
It's kind of crazy.
685
00:29:06,678 --> 00:29:09,014
I really don't
understand it myself.
686
00:29:09,015 --> 00:29:11,582
It seems like I'm
a magnet to 'em,
687
00:29:11,583 --> 00:29:15,554
like there's a reverse-cultic
fascination or something.
688
00:29:15,555 --> 00:29:17,856
They watch my movies just
so they can make fun of them
689
00:29:17,857 --> 00:29:19,824
and me, of course.
- Well, that's not very nice.
690
00:29:19,825 --> 00:29:20,659
Yeah.
691
00:29:20,660 --> 00:29:22,194
They can be pretty brutal too.
692
00:29:22,195 --> 00:29:23,596
Yeah.
693
00:29:23,597 --> 00:29:25,831
You know, one kid, he puts all
his videos on TikTok, the ones
694
00:29:25,832 --> 00:29:28,534
he's made of me,
making fun of me,
695
00:29:28,535 --> 00:29:31,469
and had over 12 million views.
696
00:29:31,470 --> 00:29:32,804
12 million?
697
00:29:32,805 --> 00:29:35,341
Yeah, it seems like nobody
knows me in the Christian world.
698
00:29:35,342 --> 00:29:38,042
But among the Instagram
and TikTok crowd that
699
00:29:38,043 --> 00:29:41,279
embraces atheism, I'm infamous.
700
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:42,614
Wow.
701
00:29:42,615 --> 00:29:45,684
Well, maybe you're called
to reach those people instead
702
00:29:45,685 --> 00:29:46,852
of preaching to the choir.
703
00:29:46,853 --> 00:29:48,487
Yeah, I was thinking
the same thing.
704
00:29:48,488 --> 00:29:50,389
I mean, maybe God
will use this video
705
00:29:50,390 --> 00:29:52,524
in a way you never
foresaw, so don't
706
00:29:52,525 --> 00:29:54,159
despair thinking you blew it.
707
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:55,394
Yeah.
708
00:29:55,395 --> 00:29:58,997
You know, I've had thoughts
along that line before.
709
00:29:58,998 --> 00:30:04,169
I thought, maybe when the
proverbial stuff hits the fan--
710
00:30:04,170 --> 00:30:06,737
You mean Pablum?
711
00:30:06,738 --> 00:30:08,106
Yeah.
712
00:30:08,107 --> 00:30:10,876
When that Pablum hits the fan.
713
00:30:10,877 --> 00:30:12,377
These people are
gon-- some of them,
714
00:30:12,378 --> 00:30:14,446
anyway, hopefully, will
start looking for answers.
715
00:30:14,447 --> 00:30:16,714
And maybe something
I've presented to them
716
00:30:16,715 --> 00:30:19,451
will help them discover at
least a path to the truth
717
00:30:19,452 --> 00:30:23,421
and, hopefully, life
eternal in Christ Jesus,
718
00:30:23,422 --> 00:30:26,091
maybe even after
I'm dead and gone.
719
00:30:26,092 --> 00:30:27,659
Jesus tarries.
720
00:30:27,660 --> 00:30:28,459
Yeah.
721
00:30:28,460 --> 00:30:29,394
Amen.
722
00:30:29,395 --> 00:30:30,762
Well, I know it's
too late for us
723
00:30:30,763 --> 00:30:32,764
to pray about changing
your words in the debate.
724
00:30:32,765 --> 00:30:35,701
But we can pray that the Holy
Spirit will touch the hearts
725
00:30:35,702 --> 00:30:37,002
of those who watch the video.
726
00:30:37,003 --> 00:30:38,036
Amen.
727
00:30:38,037 --> 00:30:40,872
Mhm, let's do that
right after we eat.
728
00:30:40,873 --> 00:30:41,706
Okey-doke.
729
00:30:41,707 --> 00:30:42,974
I can take a hint.
- Yeah.
730
00:30:42,975 --> 00:30:43,776
A subtle one.
731
00:30:43,777 --> 00:30:44,942
I'm starving.
732
00:30:44,943 --> 00:30:45,744
Me too.
733
00:30:45,745 --> 00:30:46,645
What you got her?
734
00:30:58,490 --> 00:31:00,659
Oh, hey there,
elusive Dr. Jeweli.
735
00:31:00,660 --> 00:31:02,961
You mind if we join you?
736
00:31:02,962 --> 00:31:04,162
Who's your friend?
737
00:31:04,163 --> 00:31:06,764
Benjamin Bates,
coworker, right-hand man,
738
00:31:06,765 --> 00:31:08,099
and chief groupie.
739
00:31:08,100 --> 00:31:10,602
You know, Trey wouldn't be
where he is today without me.
740
00:31:10,603 --> 00:31:11,802
Really?
741
00:31:11,803 --> 00:31:13,639
Yeah, it's because I drove
him to the coffee shop.
742
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:14,972
You're driving me to drinking.
743
00:31:14,973 --> 00:31:17,442
Oh, in this case, quite
literally, though, only coffee.
744
00:31:17,443 --> 00:31:19,344
But one day, Trey, I'm
gonna get you to imbibe
745
00:31:19,345 --> 00:31:20,612
something a bit stronger.
746
00:31:20,613 --> 00:31:22,447
Dude, you know that
my whole point in life
747
00:31:22,448 --> 00:31:25,951
is to keep my wits about me and
to be in control at all times.
748
00:31:25,952 --> 00:31:28,821
Your beverages of choice
don't fit into that plan.
749
00:31:28,822 --> 00:31:31,356
Right, well, it's too bad you
don't have a life to control.
750
00:31:31,357 --> 00:31:33,291
Hey, I didn't sit down
with this lovely lady
751
00:31:33,292 --> 00:31:34,526
to cross swords with you.
752
00:31:34,527 --> 00:31:36,094
So why don't you put
a lid on it or go
753
00:31:36,095 --> 00:31:37,362
powder your nose or something?
754
00:31:37,363 --> 00:31:39,031
Or, get this, I
could punch yours.
755
00:31:39,032 --> 00:31:40,366
You don't believe in violence.
756
00:31:40,367 --> 00:31:41,766
And I could suspend that
belief for, I don't know,
757
00:31:41,767 --> 00:31:43,167
three seconds.
758
00:31:43,168 --> 00:31:45,271
And I could suspend you from a
chandelier for about three days.
759
00:31:45,272 --> 00:31:47,006
- You feeling lucky, Trey?
- Ah-huh.
760
00:31:47,007 --> 00:31:49,707
Guys, hey, how about
you throttle back
761
00:31:49,708 --> 00:31:52,044
the testosterone just
a couple of notches?
762
00:31:52,045 --> 00:31:53,177
Tell you what.
763
00:31:53,178 --> 00:31:54,946
I'll go powder my nose,
and you two can work out
764
00:31:54,947 --> 00:31:58,249
your hostilities in my absence.
765
00:31:58,250 --> 00:31:59,651
OK.
766
00:31:59,652 --> 00:32:00,652
We'll see you.
767
00:32:00,653 --> 00:32:02,721
You have $5 says
she's not coming back.
768
00:32:02,722 --> 00:32:04,122
She's coming back.
769
00:32:04,123 --> 00:32:06,924
And I'll pay you $5 to
pretend to be mad at me
770
00:32:06,925 --> 00:32:08,694
and leave me here
stranded without a ride.
771
00:32:08,695 --> 00:32:09,994
Deal.
772
00:32:09,995 --> 00:32:13,666
Um, and how exactly you plan
on getting to the office?
773
00:32:13,667 --> 00:32:15,434
No, you don't mean--
you don't think--
774
00:32:15,435 --> 00:32:17,302
Exactly.
775
00:32:17,303 --> 00:32:20,539
Well, that's a long
walk if she refuses.
776
00:32:20,540 --> 00:32:23,174
You want me to hang out in the
parking lot for a couple minutes
777
00:32:23,175 --> 00:32:24,742
in case your plan
doesn't work out?
778
00:32:24,743 --> 00:32:26,277
Though, I still
get to keep the $5.
779
00:32:26,278 --> 00:32:27,112
No, thanks.
780
00:32:27,113 --> 00:32:29,047
But actually, change of plans.
781
00:32:29,048 --> 00:32:31,582
I don't want to expose her to
the displeasure of our fighting
782
00:32:31,583 --> 00:32:33,017
again, so why
don't you take off,
783
00:32:33,018 --> 00:32:34,386
you leave me here
without a ride,
784
00:32:34,387 --> 00:32:36,354
and we'll spare her the pain.
785
00:32:36,355 --> 00:32:37,756
All right, works for me.
786
00:32:37,757 --> 00:32:40,025
Hope you got some comfortable
walking shoes on though, Trey.
787
00:32:47,567 --> 00:32:50,469
Did you and Benjamin
achieve world peace?
788
00:32:50,470 --> 00:32:53,404
Actually, he got
so mad at me that he
789
00:32:53,405 --> 00:32:54,872
told me to take a long hike.
790
00:32:54,873 --> 00:32:56,874
And he took off and left
me here without a ride.
791
00:32:56,875 --> 00:32:59,177
So I guess that's exactly
what I'm gonna have to do.
792
00:32:59,178 --> 00:33:00,412
How far do you have to go?
793
00:33:00,413 --> 00:33:01,212
Six miles.
794
00:33:01,213 --> 00:33:02,581
Oh.
795
00:33:02,582 --> 00:33:04,449
You don't seem too
shook up about it.
796
00:33:04,450 --> 00:33:05,784
Well, it what it is.
797
00:33:05,785 --> 00:33:08,186
I mean, why spoil a nice day
and a pleasant conversation
798
00:33:08,187 --> 00:33:10,154
by getting bent out of shape?
799
00:33:10,155 --> 00:33:12,257
So, how you been?
800
00:33:12,258 --> 00:33:13,692
Busy, as usual.
801
00:33:13,693 --> 00:33:16,061
Are you going to reveal
your last name today?
802
00:33:16,062 --> 00:33:19,831
After all, it is
the second date.
803
00:33:19,832 --> 00:33:22,834
Your definition of a date
and mine are worlds apart.
804
00:33:22,835 --> 00:33:24,736
Do you just have so
many guys hitting on you
805
00:33:24,737 --> 00:33:27,639
that you can afford to ignore
a guy like me who fell in love
806
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,241
with you at first sight?
807
00:33:29,242 --> 00:33:31,742
I don't have any guys hitting
on me because I don't go
808
00:33:31,743 --> 00:33:33,177
into places where that happens.
809
00:33:33,178 --> 00:33:34,512
Oh.
810
00:33:34,513 --> 00:33:36,781
So your goal in
life is to be alone.
811
00:33:36,782 --> 00:33:40,251
No, I'm just waiting for
the right one to come along,
812
00:33:40,252 --> 00:33:42,221
someone with the
same goals in life.
813
00:33:42,222 --> 00:33:44,122
Well, how do you know
that that's not me?
814
00:33:44,123 --> 00:33:45,991
We haven't even
discussed goals yet.
815
00:33:45,992 --> 00:33:49,461
I'm not feeling it.
816
00:33:49,462 --> 00:33:51,796
But I guess I could be wrong.
817
00:33:51,797 --> 00:33:55,032
Ooh, do I detect just a tiny
little sliver of an opportunity
818
00:33:55,033 --> 00:33:56,667
to win you over?
819
00:33:56,668 --> 00:34:00,539
Let me give you a clue as
how to enhance the opportunity.
820
00:34:00,540 --> 00:34:01,939
Just let it flow naturally.
821
00:34:01,940 --> 00:34:06,377
Don't try to force anything with
flattery and fakery and flowers.
822
00:34:06,378 --> 00:34:09,414
And definitely don't throw the
L word around there casually.
823
00:34:09,415 --> 00:34:12,384
Flattery, fakery, flowers,
that's a lot of F words.
824
00:34:12,385 --> 00:34:13,786
But I guess you're
saying I should
825
00:34:13,787 --> 00:34:15,019
pump the brakes a little bit.
826
00:34:15,020 --> 00:34:16,354
Yeah.
827
00:34:16,355 --> 00:34:18,323
Speaking of breaks, I gotta go.
828
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,062
If you want a ride,
it's now or never.
829
00:34:24,063 --> 00:34:28,066
Now would be awesome.
830
00:34:36,242 --> 00:34:38,609
Well, I know better
than to ask for a kiss,
831
00:34:38,610 --> 00:34:42,046
but could I ask one more
time for your last name?
832
00:34:42,047 --> 00:34:44,949
Gotta admire the persistence.
833
00:34:44,950 --> 00:34:46,217
Tell you what.
834
00:34:46,218 --> 00:34:48,186
Next time we run into each
other at the coffee shop,
835
00:34:48,187 --> 00:34:49,754
I'll reveal the big secret.
836
00:34:49,755 --> 00:34:51,089
Well, that makes my day.
837
00:34:51,090 --> 00:34:53,124
I guess I'll just have to
work down there all day
838
00:34:53,125 --> 00:34:55,426
just so I won't miss you.
839
00:34:55,427 --> 00:34:58,029
Well, I might come
in during the evening.
840
00:34:58,030 --> 00:35:00,666
Then I'll work all day and
all night till they kick me out.
841
00:35:00,667 --> 00:35:03,401
Whatever.
842
00:35:03,402 --> 00:35:05,336
Well, now I'm kicking
you out of my car.
843
00:35:05,337 --> 00:35:06,637
I've got things to do.
844
00:35:06,638 --> 00:35:08,039
Roger that.
845
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,009
Well, thank you for saving my
shoes, my time, maybe my life
846
00:35:11,010 --> 00:35:12,544
with your token of generosity.
847
00:35:12,545 --> 00:35:14,246
You're welcome.
848
00:35:37,703 --> 00:35:38,536
Hey, hey.
849
00:35:38,537 --> 00:35:39,771
So you make it to first base?
850
00:35:39,772 --> 00:35:40,872
Not quite.
851
00:35:40,873 --> 00:35:43,976
But I did get to the
plate, and the pitcher
852
00:35:43,977 --> 00:35:45,644
is sharing signals with me.
853
00:35:45,645 --> 00:35:48,981
So I have an idea how
to make solid contact.
854
00:35:48,982 --> 00:35:50,882
Right, no, I'll believe
that when I see it.
855
00:35:50,883 --> 00:35:52,817
So what do you want
to work on today?
856
00:35:52,818 --> 00:35:54,352
Let's get that
debate edit complete
857
00:35:54,353 --> 00:35:56,287
and upload it to
YouTube and TikTok.
858
00:35:56,288 --> 00:35:59,457
And I wanna like
stink on sardines, Trey.
859
00:36:02,093 --> 00:36:03,261
Hey, Dad, what's up?
860
00:36:03,262 --> 00:36:04,296
Hey, kiddo.
861
00:36:04,297 --> 00:36:06,064
Hey, check your email.
862
00:36:06,065 --> 00:36:08,299
I just sent you and your
sister a link to my debate
863
00:36:08,300 --> 00:36:09,834
out on YouTube.
864
00:36:09,835 --> 00:36:11,569
I'll watch it tonight.
865
00:36:11,570 --> 00:36:13,437
Hey, but don't-- don't
be too disappointed
866
00:36:13,438 --> 00:36:15,339
if Jeweli doesn't get
to it for a bit, OK?
867
00:36:15,340 --> 00:36:17,509
Yeah, I know how
slammed she is.
868
00:36:17,510 --> 00:36:18,476
It's all good.
869
00:36:18,477 --> 00:36:22,247
You know, everything
in God's timing.
870
00:36:32,225 --> 00:36:33,524
Who is that?
871
00:36:33,525 --> 00:36:35,159
Some guy who thinks
he's in love with me.
872
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:35,961
What?
873
00:36:35,962 --> 00:36:36,894
I know.
874
00:36:36,895 --> 00:36:38,796
And you never
told me about him?
875
00:36:38,797 --> 00:36:40,131
No, there's nothing to tell.
876
00:36:40,132 --> 00:36:42,166
I mean, he tried to make
a pass, and I swatted it
877
00:36:42,167 --> 00:36:45,002
down at the line of scrimmage.
878
00:36:45,003 --> 00:36:45,871
I want to meet him.
879
00:36:45,872 --> 00:36:46,737
Lori, no.
880
00:36:46,738 --> 00:36:47,539
Yeah.
881
00:36:47,540 --> 00:36:49,441
Lori, I--
882
00:36:49,442 --> 00:36:50,474
Hi, I'm Lori.
883
00:36:50,475 --> 00:36:51,276
Oh, hey.
884
00:36:51,277 --> 00:36:52,076
I'm--
885
00:36:52,077 --> 00:36:53,444
The Renegade Scientist!
886
00:36:53,445 --> 00:36:55,881
Oh, you've seen my videos.
887
00:36:55,882 --> 00:36:58,516
Just one, the one
where you debated
888
00:36:58,517 --> 00:37:01,152
my father about evolution.
889
00:37:01,153 --> 00:37:02,487
Douglas is your dad?
890
00:37:02,488 --> 00:37:03,321
Wow!
891
00:37:03,322 --> 00:37:06,057
Ah-huh, hers too.
892
00:37:06,058 --> 00:37:07,360
Jeweli's my sister.
893
00:37:12,063 --> 00:37:16,467
Gee, Jeweli, you've been
hobnobbing with the enemy.
894
00:37:16,468 --> 00:37:17,936
Uh, hold on now.
895
00:37:17,937 --> 00:37:19,904
Enemy's such a strong word.
896
00:37:19,905 --> 00:37:21,572
You made fun of our dad.
897
00:37:21,573 --> 00:37:24,242
It was all in good
sport, nothing personal.
898
00:37:24,243 --> 00:37:26,677
My thing is making fun
of all Christian movies.
899
00:37:26,678 --> 00:37:29,147
But I kind of liked
talking to your dad.
900
00:37:29,148 --> 00:37:31,049
Jeweli, did you get
to watch the debate?
901
00:37:31,050 --> 00:37:33,051
I hadn't found the time.
902
00:37:33,052 --> 00:37:35,352
Well, I guess I don't have
to tell you my last name.
903
00:37:35,353 --> 00:37:36,354
- Connors?
- Mm-hmm.
904
00:37:36,355 --> 00:37:38,722
Which means you
must be Lori Connors.
905
00:37:38,723 --> 00:37:41,259
Nope, Lori Atwater.
906
00:37:41,260 --> 00:37:45,329
My husband is a
marine, by the way.
907
00:37:45,330 --> 00:37:47,966
OK, I'll keep that in mind.
908
00:37:47,967 --> 00:37:50,501
Um, so can I assume
that you girls
909
00:37:50,502 --> 00:37:53,504
share your dad's convictions
about God and evolution?
910
00:37:53,505 --> 00:37:55,406
Absolutely.
911
00:37:55,407 --> 00:37:57,909
Does that mean that you're
set on marrying a believer?
912
00:37:57,910 --> 00:37:59,211
Not just any believer.
913
00:37:59,212 --> 00:38:01,612
The Bible says that demons
believe and tremble.
914
00:38:01,613 --> 00:38:03,481
I want to marry someone
whose whole life
915
00:38:03,482 --> 00:38:07,452
is dedicated to serving God,
not me, and not himself.
916
00:38:07,453 --> 00:38:12,156
CS Lewis said, Christianity,
if false, is of no importance,
917
00:38:12,157 --> 00:38:14,759
if true, is of
infinite importance.
918
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,862
The one thing it cannot be
is moderately important.
919
00:38:17,863 --> 00:38:20,397
So my mantra is, my
heart is yearning
920
00:38:20,398 --> 00:38:23,134
after someone who is running
after God, not after me.
921
00:38:23,135 --> 00:38:25,671
If he's doing that,
I'll run to catch him.
922
00:38:25,672 --> 00:38:28,939
So you must be scratching my
name off the list of candidates
923
00:38:28,940 --> 00:38:30,507
right now.
924
00:38:30,508 --> 00:38:33,544
Truthfully, I never
put you on the list.
925
00:38:33,545 --> 00:38:36,881
You know, you Christians are
supposed to be all about sharing
926
00:38:36,882 --> 00:38:38,216
your faith with others.
927
00:38:38,217 --> 00:38:42,019
Prove to me that God
exists, and I'll believe.
928
00:38:42,020 --> 00:38:43,121
I don't missionary date.
929
00:38:43,122 --> 00:38:43,954
No, no.
930
00:38:43,955 --> 00:38:45,289
You said you don't date at all.
931
00:38:45,290 --> 00:38:47,257
True, but I don't fall
in love with someone
932
00:38:47,258 --> 00:38:48,626
and then try to convert them.
933
00:38:48,627 --> 00:38:51,029
And I definitely don't promise
to fall in love with someone
934
00:38:51,030 --> 00:38:52,697
if they believe in Jesus.
935
00:38:52,698 --> 00:38:55,332
They have to do that
without any ulterior motive.
936
00:38:55,333 --> 00:38:57,936
After that, que sera sera.
937
00:38:57,937 --> 00:39:00,404
So you're just gonna
let my soul rot in hell.
938
00:39:00,405 --> 00:39:01,739
Ah!
939
00:39:01,740 --> 00:39:04,007
You said in your debate that
you didn't believe in Hell.
940
00:39:04,008 --> 00:39:06,144
Yeah, well, maybe you
also picked up on the fact
941
00:39:06,145 --> 00:39:09,214
that I said, I want
to have the truth.
942
00:39:09,215 --> 00:39:12,684
And would you really risk
alienating your entire audience
943
00:39:12,685 --> 00:39:14,852
that's paying you
rather handsomely,
944
00:39:14,853 --> 00:39:18,189
I might add, with
their views and clicks
945
00:39:18,190 --> 00:39:20,826
by repudiating evolution?
946
00:39:20,827 --> 00:39:21,926
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
947
00:39:21,927 --> 00:39:24,062
I didn't say anything
about deep-sixing
948
00:39:24,063 --> 00:39:25,629
my scientific convictions.
949
00:39:25,630 --> 00:39:27,632
This was about
searching for God.
950
00:39:27,633 --> 00:39:29,734
Well, if you find
God, I can guarantee
951
00:39:29,735 --> 00:39:31,202
that you'll have
no use for Charles
952
00:39:31,203 --> 00:39:33,004
Darwin and Richard Dawkins.
953
00:39:33,005 --> 00:39:35,506
That's a bold statement.
954
00:39:35,507 --> 00:39:39,043
So are you up for the
challenge of showing me God?
955
00:39:43,982 --> 00:39:46,151
I'll have to think
and pray about it.
956
00:39:46,152 --> 00:39:48,852
If the Lord wants me to do
it, I won't shirk my duty,
957
00:39:48,853 --> 00:39:50,421
as unpleasant as it may be.
958
00:39:50,422 --> 00:39:52,122
Oh, gosh, no one's
gonna accuse you
959
00:39:52,123 --> 00:39:54,792
of being a sunshine pumping
mill throwing out compliments
960
00:39:54,793 --> 00:39:56,594
like candy to parade.
961
00:39:56,595 --> 00:39:59,531
But think about it all you want.
962
00:39:59,532 --> 00:40:00,999
And if you would
do me the courtesy
963
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,001
of giving me a call with your
decision, I'd be appreciative.
964
00:40:12,978 --> 00:40:16,682
Oh, what have I done?
965
00:40:20,318 --> 00:40:24,322
There are so many
people living life in misery
966
00:40:24,323 --> 00:40:26,124
Victims of our neglect
967
00:40:26,125 --> 00:40:28,126
They cry out for help
968
00:40:28,127 --> 00:40:30,161
The crowds walk on by
969
00:40:30,162 --> 00:40:32,129
Too busy to care
970
00:40:32,130 --> 00:40:33,964
And they cry out to you
971
00:40:33,965 --> 00:40:39,036
Will you walk on too tonight?
972
00:40:39,037 --> 00:40:50,882
Reach out to them
973
00:40:50,883 --> 00:40:54,752
Reach out to them tonight
974
00:40:54,753 --> 00:40:56,654
So many lonely girls
975
00:40:56,655 --> 00:40:58,722
So many lonely guys
976
00:40:58,723 --> 00:41:02,627
So many lonely hearts
crying out for love
977
00:41:02,628 --> 00:41:04,596
So many lonely girls
978
00:41:04,597 --> 00:41:06,564
So many lonely guys
979
00:41:06,565 --> 00:41:10,567
So many lonely hearts
crying out for love
980
00:41:10,568 --> 00:41:19,912
Reach out to them
981
00:41:41,767 --> 00:41:45,636
God wants everyone to be safe
982
00:41:45,637 --> 00:41:49,774
And to know the truth
983
00:41:49,775 --> 00:41:53,577
God wants everyone to be safe
984
00:41:53,578 --> 00:41:57,682
And to know the truth
985
00:41:57,683 --> 00:42:15,133
Reach out to them
986
00:42:19,605 --> 00:42:23,075
Reach out to them
987
00:42:27,545 --> 00:42:30,983
Reach out to them
988
00:42:33,385 --> 00:42:35,886
Am I crazy for even
considering this?
989
00:42:35,887 --> 00:42:37,487
Absolutely not.
990
00:42:37,488 --> 00:42:40,057
You know, the Bible says that
we need to contend for our faith
991
00:42:40,058 --> 00:42:42,492
and be ready to give
answer to every man
992
00:42:42,493 --> 00:42:44,762
for the hope that's within us.
993
00:42:44,763 --> 00:42:46,331
This is an opportunity.
994
00:42:46,332 --> 00:42:48,832
You know, I took a swing
at this and missed.
995
00:42:48,833 --> 00:42:52,771
But you have a leverage
that I don't have
996
00:42:52,772 --> 00:42:54,137
that's gonna
motivate him to look
997
00:42:54,138 --> 00:42:55,974
beyond his scientific safe room.
998
00:42:55,975 --> 00:42:58,442
I don't even
have time for this.
999
00:42:58,443 --> 00:43:00,211
Honey, you never
have time for anything.
1000
00:43:00,212 --> 00:43:03,014
You have to make time
for what's important.
1001
00:43:03,015 --> 00:43:04,949
You still exercise every day?
1002
00:43:04,950 --> 00:43:06,651
Yeah, just like you taught me.
1003
00:43:06,652 --> 00:43:08,786
Kill two birds
with one stone--
1004
00:43:08,787 --> 00:43:11,789
exercise, educate,
train at the same time.
1005
00:43:11,790 --> 00:43:16,594
Yeah, multitask, why
didn't I think of that?
1006
00:43:16,595 --> 00:43:20,264
Oh, you would have eventually.
1007
00:43:20,265 --> 00:43:21,866
I'm gonna be
sending you an email
1008
00:43:21,867 --> 00:43:23,734
with some of the
vulnerabilities that I
1009
00:43:23,735 --> 00:43:26,004
failed to attack in our debate.
1010
00:43:26,005 --> 00:43:28,072
And I'll be praying
for you too, kiddo.
1011
00:43:28,073 --> 00:43:29,341
All right.
Thanks, Dad.
1012
00:43:29,342 --> 00:43:30,141
That sounds good.
1013
00:43:30,142 --> 00:43:30,941
Love you.
1014
00:43:30,942 --> 00:43:34,144
Love you more.
1015
00:43:34,145 --> 00:43:36,047
Bye.
1016
00:43:49,227 --> 00:43:50,027
It's your dime.
1017
00:43:50,028 --> 00:43:51,962
Start talking.
1018
00:43:51,963 --> 00:43:54,499
I think your phrase
is out of date.
1019
00:43:54,500 --> 00:43:57,501
Coin-operated phones cost more
than a dime if you can find one.
1020
00:43:57,502 --> 00:43:59,971
The quest for truth
knows no rest, huh?
1021
00:43:59,972 --> 00:44:01,406
Thanks for setting me straight.
1022
00:44:01,407 --> 00:44:03,241
My pleasure.
1023
00:44:03,242 --> 00:44:06,477
So I-- I watched the debate.
1024
00:44:06,478 --> 00:44:09,514
Did you truly mean it when you
said that the truth was the most
1025
00:44:09,515 --> 00:44:10,714
important thing to you?
1026
00:44:10,715 --> 00:44:12,516
Oh, yeah, with all my heart.
1027
00:44:12,517 --> 00:44:16,354
All right, so I'll accept
your proposal to-- oh,
1028
00:44:16,355 --> 00:44:18,056
let me rephrase that.
1029
00:44:18,057 --> 00:44:21,292
I'll accept your request
to be your tour guide
1030
00:44:21,293 --> 00:44:24,696
on the search for God
under some conditions.
1031
00:44:24,697 --> 00:44:25,829
Name them.
1032
00:44:25,830 --> 00:44:27,866
We have to do a lot of
our talking at the gym.
1033
00:44:27,867 --> 00:44:29,299
We talk while I work out.
1034
00:44:29,300 --> 00:44:30,501
Can you handle that?
1035
00:44:30,502 --> 00:44:31,769
Do bears sleep in the woods?
1036
00:44:31,770 --> 00:44:33,637
I've actually been thinking
about joining a gym.
1037
00:44:33,638 --> 00:44:34,939
JEWELI (ON PHONE) Oh, 6:00 AM.
1038
00:44:34,940 --> 00:44:39,377
Ooh, yeah, I don't know if
my brain engages that early.
1039
00:44:39,378 --> 00:44:42,079
But I'm willing
to give it a shot.
1040
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:43,114
What else?
1041
00:44:43,115 --> 00:44:44,382
That's it.
1042
00:44:44,383 --> 00:44:45,482
Wow.
1043
00:44:45,483 --> 00:44:47,017
OK, well, what gym,
and when do we start?
1044
00:44:47,018 --> 00:44:49,454
Brickhouse Gym, tomorrow.
1045
00:44:49,455 --> 00:44:51,556
Oh, yeah, I've
heard of that place.
1046
00:44:51,557 --> 00:44:54,592
By the way, I've got a
little confession to make.
1047
00:44:54,593 --> 00:44:56,961
While I was trying to figure
out your last name and which
1048
00:44:56,962 --> 00:44:59,864
hospital you worked at,
I was looking for "Julie"
1049
00:44:59,865 --> 00:45:02,132
through all the hospital
staff directory lists.
1050
00:45:02,133 --> 00:45:08,172
And it's not fair that your
parents spelled it J-E-W-E-L-I.
1051
00:45:08,173 --> 00:45:10,107
Though, I do find
it appropriate,
1052
00:45:10,108 --> 00:45:11,976
considering you are a gem.
1053
00:45:11,977 --> 00:45:14,846
Ah, ah, ah, no flattery.
1054
00:45:14,847 --> 00:45:16,681
And what were you gonna
do once you've found
1055
00:45:16,682 --> 00:45:18,116
out what hospital I worked at?
1056
00:45:18,117 --> 00:45:20,517
Well, well, I was trying to
figure out how I could break
1057
00:45:20,518 --> 00:45:23,154
my leg without any actual
pain, it occurred to me
1058
00:45:23,155 --> 00:45:25,022
that just because you
work at a hospital
1059
00:45:25,023 --> 00:45:26,891
didn't mean that you
worked in the ER.
1060
00:45:26,892 --> 00:45:30,027
You could have turned
out to be a proctologist.
1061
00:45:30,028 --> 00:45:31,729
But now I see that
you're a pediatrician,
1062
00:45:31,730 --> 00:45:35,466
so I'm really glad I didn't
take a hammer to my femur.
1063
00:45:35,467 --> 00:45:37,667
See you tomorrow at 6:00 AM.
1064
00:45:37,668 --> 00:45:42,306
By the way, there might be pain
involved if you're out of shape.
1065
00:45:42,307 --> 00:45:43,407
OK.
1066
00:45:43,408 --> 00:45:46,076
Bye, Jeweli.
1067
00:45:52,717 --> 00:45:55,119
I gotta tell you,
going at that slow pace
1068
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:56,887
is basically worthless.
1069
00:45:56,888 --> 00:45:58,922
I watched a video
once where they
1070
00:45:58,923 --> 00:46:02,559
explained the effects of certain
paces as far as longevity goes.
1071
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:04,294
And below a certain
threshold, there
1072
00:46:04,295 --> 00:46:06,964
was no advantage to exercise.
1073
00:46:06,965 --> 00:46:08,299
I didn't know that.
1074
00:46:08,300 --> 00:46:12,169
But see, I'm not afraid to
confess to my ignorance.
1075
00:46:12,170 --> 00:46:15,572
So how much do you
know about religion?
1076
00:46:15,573 --> 00:46:17,441
Well, my parents
are believers.
1077
00:46:17,442 --> 00:46:19,477
I was raised in the
Presbyterian Church.
1078
00:46:19,478 --> 00:46:21,446
I could not wait to
get out of there,
1079
00:46:21,447 --> 00:46:24,616
to get them out of
controlling my life.
1080
00:46:24,617 --> 00:46:25,982
You really are a renegade.
1081
00:46:25,983 --> 00:46:27,852
Well, I mean, I call
them like I see 'em.
1082
00:46:27,853 --> 00:46:29,954
I had lots of questions
about God and the Bible.
1083
00:46:29,955 --> 00:46:32,156
And you know, they just kind
of blew me off and said,
1084
00:46:32,157 --> 00:46:33,391
just believe.
1085
00:46:33,392 --> 00:46:34,424
I don't roll like that.
1086
00:46:34,425 --> 00:46:35,926
Do you think,
perhaps, the problem
1087
00:46:35,927 --> 00:46:39,329
was with your denomination
and not Jesus and the Bible?
1088
00:46:39,330 --> 00:46:42,332
No, I pretty much dismissed
every flavor of Christianity
1089
00:46:42,333 --> 00:46:43,334
as lacking.
1090
00:46:43,335 --> 00:46:44,802
Well, not exactly
a wise assumption,
1091
00:46:44,803 --> 00:46:46,837
based on your
limited experience.
1092
00:46:46,838 --> 00:46:49,774
OK, OK, so stipulated.
1093
00:46:49,775 --> 00:46:53,711
So where do we begin this
quest to broaden my mind?
1094
00:46:53,712 --> 00:46:57,614
Well, I figure, since you're a
science guy, let's start there.
1095
00:46:57,615 --> 00:47:00,351
But you have to dispense on
your boundaries with naturalism.
1096
00:47:00,352 --> 00:47:02,719
If you won't allow God in
a scientific discussion,
1097
00:47:02,720 --> 00:47:05,489
then this exercise
will be futile.
1098
00:47:05,490 --> 00:47:07,892
OK, so what exactly
does that look like?
1099
00:47:07,893 --> 00:47:10,927
Weigh all evidence
with this question.
1100
00:47:10,928 --> 00:47:13,964
Could God be the
answer to the whodunit?
1101
00:47:13,965 --> 00:47:16,334
And would God be a
more likely answer
1102
00:47:16,335 --> 00:47:18,569
than what naturalism provides?
1103
00:47:18,570 --> 00:47:20,571
That sounds like
two questions to me.
1104
00:47:20,572 --> 00:47:23,141
Or two sides of the same
question, but let's not
1105
00:47:23,142 --> 00:47:24,742
get bogged down by semantics.
1106
00:47:24,743 --> 00:47:25,976
I agree.
1107
00:47:25,977 --> 00:47:28,746
Hey, before we get started,
you're a doctor, right?
1108
00:47:28,747 --> 00:47:31,582
So you have all this
formal science training.
1109
00:47:31,583 --> 00:47:34,251
How is it that you
can reject evolution?
1110
00:47:34,252 --> 00:47:37,854
Since evolution is the glue
that holds all biology together?
1111
00:47:37,855 --> 00:47:39,456
Exactly.
1112
00:47:39,457 --> 00:47:41,191
My dad laughed
when you said that.
1113
00:47:41,192 --> 00:47:43,761
But he failed to press
you on the topic.
1114
00:47:43,762 --> 00:47:46,697
I found that I had no
need for macroevolution
1115
00:47:46,698 --> 00:47:49,266
in learning about the
body's processes like birth
1116
00:47:49,267 --> 00:47:51,669
and the health of
babies and mothers.
1117
00:47:51,670 --> 00:47:54,972
And the historical
origin of Homo sapiens
1118
00:47:54,973 --> 00:47:57,507
isn't really a regard to me
since it doesn't change the fact
1119
00:47:57,508 --> 00:48:01,546
that our typical normal body
temperature is 98.6 degrees
1120
00:48:01,547 --> 00:48:04,649
and we can only survive
a few days without water
1121
00:48:04,650 --> 00:48:06,817
and a few minutes
without oxygen.
1122
00:48:06,818 --> 00:48:09,219
I don't need Darwin to
care for my patients,
1123
00:48:09,220 --> 00:48:11,289
but I venture to guess the
same is true for anyone
1124
00:48:11,290 --> 00:48:13,891
working in the field of biology.
1125
00:48:13,892 --> 00:48:16,126
Ready for the next one?
1126
00:48:16,127 --> 00:48:16,961
I guess.
1127
00:48:16,962 --> 00:48:17,761
That's good.
1128
00:48:31,543 --> 00:48:34,444
So you reject
evolution because you
1129
00:48:34,445 --> 00:48:36,681
don't find it useful?
1130
00:48:36,682 --> 00:48:39,817
I reject macroevolution
because I
1131
00:48:39,818 --> 00:48:44,187
find it unsatisfactory in
explaining the diversity
1132
00:48:44,188 --> 00:48:46,156
and complexity of life.
1133
00:48:46,157 --> 00:48:49,059
I mean, the glue of biology
is the spark of life.
1134
00:48:49,060 --> 00:48:52,596
And you admit that scientists
don't even know what life is.
1135
00:48:52,597 --> 00:48:57,901
Your theory depends on all these
miraculous, remarkable changes
1136
00:48:57,902 --> 00:49:01,972
to organisms over
millions of years.
1137
00:49:01,973 --> 00:49:05,509
The explanation that God created
things are the way they are is
1138
00:49:05,510 --> 00:49:08,146
leaves no need for
any other explanation.
1139
00:49:08,147 --> 00:49:10,947
Well, I explained to
your dad that various types
1140
00:49:10,948 --> 00:49:12,816
of mutations and
natural selection
1141
00:49:12,817 --> 00:49:14,919
could account for
that diversity.
1142
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,621
OK, but the fairy
tale-like progressions
1143
00:49:17,622 --> 00:49:21,157
of those mutations defies
belief by a rational person.
1144
00:49:21,158 --> 00:49:22,994
He tried to pin you
down into explaining how
1145
00:49:22,995 --> 00:49:25,596
the blood and the blood
vessels and the lungs
1146
00:49:25,597 --> 00:49:29,132
and the liver and the brain
could all have evolved slowly.
1147
00:49:29,133 --> 00:49:30,634
But you squirmed
out of the question
1148
00:49:30,635 --> 00:49:36,072
by citing your evidence for
things that we have witnessed.
1149
00:49:36,073 --> 00:49:40,011
But can you draw a picture of
a complex organ, like a heart,
1150
00:49:40,012 --> 00:49:43,314
evolving into being along with
the miles of blood vessels
1151
00:49:43,315 --> 00:49:45,382
and the lungs
bringing in the oxygen
1152
00:49:45,383 --> 00:49:48,852
that carries the
blood to the cells?
1153
00:49:48,853 --> 00:49:51,722
And don't just try to evade
the question by giving me
1154
00:49:51,723 --> 00:49:55,492
the lame answer that changes in
DNA could pull off that miracle.
1155
00:49:55,493 --> 00:49:57,161
Most intelligent
people don't consider
1156
00:49:57,162 --> 00:49:58,529
that to be a lame answer.
1157
00:49:58,530 --> 00:50:00,664
Well, draw the picture.
1158
00:50:00,665 --> 00:50:02,366
You can't do it.
1159
00:50:02,367 --> 00:50:04,234
And that's why you have
to evade the question
1160
00:50:04,235 --> 00:50:08,039
with coulds and might haves.
1161
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,809
A human being is not
like an airplane where
1162
00:50:11,810 --> 00:50:13,644
the seats and the
wheels and the engine
1163
00:50:13,645 --> 00:50:17,081
can all be blueprinted and
put into place one at a time
1164
00:50:17,082 --> 00:50:19,282
until the whole
airplane is complete.
1165
00:50:19,283 --> 00:50:21,686
A human being is like--
1166
00:50:21,687 --> 00:50:24,856
a human being has to
survive during the process
1167
00:50:24,857 --> 00:50:26,189
of the changes.
1168
00:50:26,190 --> 00:50:29,026
You can't blueprint the process
for survival when survival
1169
00:50:29,027 --> 00:50:30,361
is required for the process.
1170
00:50:30,362 --> 00:50:33,431
And that's logic 101.
1171
00:50:33,432 --> 00:50:35,066
Did anyone ever
tell you how pretty
1172
00:50:35,067 --> 00:50:37,234
look when you get animated?
1173
00:50:37,235 --> 00:50:40,272
Are you derailing my
argument with petty flattery?
1174
00:50:42,873 --> 00:50:44,508
Let me use another analogy.
1175
00:50:47,478 --> 00:50:50,781
So there's a guy sitting
on top of a mountain.
1176
00:50:50,782 --> 00:50:54,017
The bottom of the mountain
has handholds and footholds,
1177
00:50:54,018 --> 00:50:57,154
and one could get up partway
without much of a problem.
1178
00:50:57,155 --> 00:51:01,257
But the top of the mountain is
steep and smooth and slippery.
1179
00:51:01,258 --> 00:51:03,059
Ah, a slippery slope, huh?
1180
00:51:03,060 --> 00:51:04,727
Exactly.
1181
00:51:04,728 --> 00:51:08,031
And you would say that he,
obviously, climbed up there
1182
00:51:08,032 --> 00:51:09,967
because he's there,
and there's evidence
1183
00:51:09,968 --> 00:51:11,936
of him being on the lower
part of the mountain.
1184
00:51:11,937 --> 00:51:13,337
Yeah.
1185
00:51:13,338 --> 00:51:15,972
But remember, he'd have about
billions of years to get there.
1186
00:51:15,973 --> 00:51:17,207
Doesn't matter.
1187
00:51:17,208 --> 00:51:19,542
You can multiply zero by
any number in the universe,
1188
00:51:19,543 --> 00:51:21,311
and the answer still
comes out to be zero,
1189
00:51:21,312 --> 00:51:23,046
no matter how many years go by.
1190
00:51:23,047 --> 00:51:26,116
There are limitations
that time cannot overcome.
1191
00:51:26,117 --> 00:51:30,054
You evolutionists accuse us of
applying the God of the gaps,
1192
00:51:30,055 --> 00:51:31,889
but you invoke the
time of the gaps.
1193
00:51:31,890 --> 00:51:33,257
Whatever, Jeweli.
1194
00:51:33,258 --> 00:51:35,759
Math and science
are not the same.
1195
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:37,627
And we're not dealing
with the number zero.
1196
00:51:37,628 --> 00:51:40,864
But OK, with your slippery slope
analogy, what's the answer,
1197
00:51:40,865 --> 00:51:42,466
that God put him there?
1198
00:51:42,467 --> 00:51:44,634
Well, if that's the only
explanation for it, yeah.
1199
00:51:44,635 --> 00:51:48,672
I mean, if you scientist
interviewed him and he said
1200
00:51:48,673 --> 00:51:50,841
that God beamed him up
there, you'd completely
1201
00:51:50,842 --> 00:51:52,609
ignore his testimony.
1202
00:51:52,610 --> 00:51:56,246
If his cancer is healed after
prayer, you ignore that.
1203
00:51:56,247 --> 00:51:59,817
Anything that points to God
must be avoided and suppressed.
1204
00:51:59,818 --> 00:52:01,486
Well, speaking of
prayer, scientists
1205
00:52:01,487 --> 00:52:03,321
have found no tangible
proof that there's
1206
00:52:03,322 --> 00:52:07,091
some divine being beaming
health into people from afar.
1207
00:52:07,092 --> 00:52:09,659
But you know, Jeweli, I know
lots of atheists who were once
1208
00:52:09,660 --> 00:52:11,729
believers who walked
away from their faith
1209
00:52:11,730 --> 00:52:13,931
because God never
showed up and showed out
1210
00:52:13,932 --> 00:52:16,199
when they cried onto him.
1211
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:20,171
God is not some trained
monkey that performs
1212
00:52:20,172 --> 00:52:22,272
on demand for a banana.
1213
00:52:22,273 --> 00:52:23,941
Even we Christians
don't understand
1214
00:52:23,942 --> 00:52:26,744
why he acts in some
cases and not in others.
1215
00:52:26,745 --> 00:52:29,646
But he's certainly not going to
respond to experimental prayer
1216
00:52:29,647 --> 00:52:31,147
meant to manipulate him.
1217
00:52:31,148 --> 00:52:33,617
God's ways are higher than ours.
1218
00:52:33,618 --> 00:52:36,119
Of course, because that
makes for a pet answer
1219
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:37,621
all doubts reply.
1220
00:52:37,622 --> 00:52:39,089
You know, Jeweli,
Christians don't
1221
00:52:39,090 --> 00:52:40,524
have airtight arguments either.
1222
00:52:40,525 --> 00:52:43,059
In fact, they got a
lot of wacky ideas.
1223
00:52:43,060 --> 00:52:44,361
Such as?
1224
00:52:44,362 --> 00:52:46,196
OK, well, according
to your Bible,
1225
00:52:46,197 --> 00:52:48,599
Jesus was in the grave three
days and three nights, right?
1226
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:50,901
And you celebrate his
death on Good Friday.
1227
00:52:50,902 --> 00:52:53,604
So OK, if he was laid in
the tomb on Friday night
1228
00:52:53,605 --> 00:52:56,239
and he rose on Sunday morning,
that seems like it's three days,
1229
00:52:56,240 --> 00:52:58,409
but it's actually only
two full days of time.
1230
00:52:58,410 --> 00:53:00,311
But here's the kicker.
1231
00:53:00,312 --> 00:53:02,646
It only involves two nights.
1232
00:53:02,647 --> 00:53:05,449
And it doesn't take a rocket
scientist to figure out that you
1233
00:53:05,450 --> 00:53:07,784
guys celebrate a contradiction.
1234
00:53:07,785 --> 00:53:08,586
I know.
1235
00:53:08,587 --> 00:53:10,587
You're absolutely right.
1236
00:53:10,588 --> 00:53:11,421
You admit it?
1237
00:53:11,422 --> 00:53:12,222
Mm-hmm.
1238
00:53:12,223 --> 00:53:13,391
But that's man's mistake.
1239
00:53:13,392 --> 00:53:14,926
I mean, the Bible
doesn't say that it
1240
00:53:14,927 --> 00:53:18,194
happened on a Friday, but rather
the first day of Passover.
1241
00:53:18,195 --> 00:53:19,964
And that feast
changes days according
1242
00:53:19,965 --> 00:53:22,699
to the Hebrew lunar calendar.
1243
00:53:22,700 --> 00:53:25,069
The year Jesus died, it
must have been a Thursday.
1244
00:53:25,070 --> 00:53:28,572
And the only time that happened
during Herod's reign was 30 AD.
1245
00:53:28,573 --> 00:53:29,739
And not 33 AD.
1246
00:53:29,740 --> 00:53:30,541
Exactly.
1247
00:53:30,542 --> 00:53:32,042
Hah!
1248
00:53:32,043 --> 00:53:33,644
Why wasn't I ever told this?
1249
00:53:33,645 --> 00:53:35,746
I mean, it seems like
everybody's been celebrating
1250
00:53:35,747 --> 00:53:37,147
his death on Good
Friday, when it
1251
00:53:37,148 --> 00:53:38,449
should have been on a Thursday.
1252
00:53:38,450 --> 00:53:40,751
And how in the world do you
know so much about this?
1253
00:53:40,752 --> 00:53:44,521
Well, I was bugged by the
same puzzle, so I researched it.
1254
00:53:44,522 --> 00:53:48,592
The time division between BC
and AD didn't happen until,
1255
00:53:48,593 --> 00:53:50,127
like, 500-something.
1256
00:53:50,128 --> 00:53:52,629
There was a monk that was
instrumental in making
1257
00:53:52,630 --> 00:53:53,931
that determination.
1258
00:53:53,932 --> 00:53:56,701
It seems like he was off
by about three years.
1259
00:53:56,702 --> 00:53:58,234
That blows my mind.
1260
00:53:58,235 --> 00:53:59,236
But you know what?
1261
00:53:59,237 --> 00:54:01,071
In reality, it doesn't
change anything.
1262
00:54:01,072 --> 00:54:04,107
You know, the dates don't prove
that Jesus rose from the dead,
1263
00:54:04,108 --> 00:54:07,177
that he was the son of God,
or that God even exists.
1264
00:54:07,178 --> 00:54:10,881
You know, Christians have a
lot of other warts as well.
1265
00:54:10,882 --> 00:54:13,717
You know, we don't
have a perfect religion.
1266
00:54:13,718 --> 00:54:15,419
There is no perfect religion.
1267
00:54:15,420 --> 00:54:17,754
But we do have a perfect savior.
1268
00:54:17,755 --> 00:54:19,856
Well, I can't disagree
with you on the first part
1269
00:54:19,857 --> 00:54:21,091
of your statement.
1270
00:54:21,092 --> 00:54:23,026
But it is refreshing
to meet somebody
1271
00:54:23,027 --> 00:54:26,831
with the intellectual
honesty to admit that.
1272
00:54:26,832 --> 00:54:28,866
It'd be nice to
find an evolutionist
1273
00:54:28,867 --> 00:54:32,402
who would admit to the warts
of Darwinism and neo-Darwinism.
1274
00:54:32,403 --> 00:54:34,972
And you want that
person to be me?
1275
00:54:34,973 --> 00:54:37,174
Look, Jeweli, you
can get me up 6:00 AM,
1276
00:54:37,175 --> 00:54:39,676
sweat out a gallon
of sweat every day,
1277
00:54:39,677 --> 00:54:42,746
but don't overestimate
your powers of persuasion.
1278
00:54:42,747 --> 00:54:45,017
And your time is up for today.
1279
00:55:04,102 --> 00:55:06,303
So how'd that
workout session go?
1280
00:55:09,173 --> 00:55:10,707
Frustrating.
1281
00:55:10,708 --> 00:55:12,776
You know how I led her dad
to follow my narrative?
1282
00:55:12,777 --> 00:55:13,911
Yeah.
1283
00:55:13,912 --> 00:55:15,579
Well, the daughter is
having no part of that.
1284
00:55:15,580 --> 00:55:17,281
She is a tough cookie.
1285
00:55:17,282 --> 00:55:19,549
You know, every time
I look at her, Benji,
1286
00:55:19,550 --> 00:55:23,086
it's like, she's so dang cute
that my mind just turns to mush.
1287
00:55:23,087 --> 00:55:24,987
Look, I told you to
be careful, all right?
1288
00:55:24,988 --> 00:55:26,556
First off, you look
on YouTube, there
1289
00:55:26,557 --> 00:55:29,359
are plenty of videos of atheists
converting to Christianity.
1290
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,462
And what I'd hate is to see
you, Trey, become a statistic.
1291
00:55:32,463 --> 00:55:34,331
Yeah, but there's
probably an equal number
1292
00:55:34,332 --> 00:55:36,767
of videos of Christians
who became atheists,
1293
00:55:36,768 --> 00:55:37,967
biblical scholars, even.
1294
00:55:37,968 --> 00:55:39,802
You know, a lot of their
musical celebrities
1295
00:55:39,803 --> 00:55:41,504
are recanting their faith.
1296
00:55:41,505 --> 00:55:44,841
Maybe I could make a
statistic out of her.
1297
00:55:44,842 --> 00:55:48,211
Trey, not to be a Debbie
Downer, but my money's on her.
1298
00:55:48,212 --> 00:55:49,412
Here's my thought.
1299
00:55:49,413 --> 00:55:52,049
You pretend to convert,
and then you bed
1300
00:55:52,050 --> 00:55:54,184
her and wed her if you want.
1301
00:55:54,185 --> 00:55:58,087
Benjamin, what kind of a
slimeball do you think I am?
1302
00:55:58,088 --> 00:55:59,922
Why don't you focus on the show?
1303
00:55:59,923 --> 00:56:01,124
Get ready!
1304
00:56:01,125 --> 00:56:03,126
All right.
1305
00:56:11,903 --> 00:56:15,072
I feel a burden
for Trey today.
1306
00:56:15,073 --> 00:56:16,807
Don't you always?
1307
00:56:16,808 --> 00:56:22,746
Well, yes, but it
just-- it seems different.
1308
00:56:22,747 --> 00:56:25,649
I mean, it just
seems like something
1309
00:56:25,650 --> 00:56:28,652
special is happening today.
1310
00:56:28,653 --> 00:56:31,889
Good special or bad special?
1311
00:56:31,890 --> 00:56:35,926
Well, I don't
know, maybe both.
1312
00:56:35,927 --> 00:56:40,164
I mean, maybe because God
is doing something special,
1313
00:56:40,165 --> 00:56:44,035
that Satan is applying
pressure to stop it.
1314
00:56:46,603 --> 00:56:48,472
I know.
1315
00:56:48,473 --> 00:56:52,076
We need to attack it
in prayer right now.
1316
00:56:52,077 --> 00:56:53,477
No, right now!
1317
00:56:53,478 --> 00:56:54,644
Sandy, Sandy.
1318
00:56:54,645 --> 00:56:55,646
What?
1319
00:56:55,647 --> 00:56:59,316
We've prayed for
him for years in vain.
1320
00:56:59,317 --> 00:57:02,052
First, he strayed a
little bit from the faith.
1321
00:57:02,053 --> 00:57:04,887
And then, he started pulling
others from their religion.
1322
00:57:04,888 --> 00:57:07,291
How long can you
keep doing this?
1323
00:57:07,292 --> 00:57:10,461
Hope deferred makes
the heart sick.
1324
00:57:10,462 --> 00:57:13,797
Well, I don't know
about you, but I can
1325
00:57:13,798 --> 00:57:17,034
and I will as long
as I draw breath.
1326
00:57:17,035 --> 00:57:17,834
OK.
1327
00:57:26,543 --> 00:57:28,044
Well, I hope you
weren't expecting
1328
00:57:28,045 --> 00:57:29,946
to win him over in one session.
1329
00:57:29,947 --> 00:57:31,647
I don't know what
I was expecting,
1330
00:57:31,648 --> 00:57:33,617
other than stubbornness.
1331
00:57:33,618 --> 00:57:36,552
I would expect you to
be equally as rock solid.
1332
00:57:36,553 --> 00:57:38,856
At least I have solid
ground to stand on.
1333
00:57:38,857 --> 00:57:41,591
Mhm.
1334
00:57:41,592 --> 00:57:44,027
So I watched this
movie the other night.
1335
00:57:44,028 --> 00:57:46,662
It was called The
Poseidon Adventure.
1336
00:57:46,663 --> 00:57:49,966
It's about a cruise ship
that gets turned upside down,
1337
00:57:49,967 --> 00:57:52,369
and there's a handful of
people that are convinced
1338
00:57:52,370 --> 00:57:55,539
by this pastor or priest--
1339
00:57:55,540 --> 00:57:57,907
I'm not sure which--
that they can climb
1340
00:57:57,908 --> 00:57:59,442
up to the bottom of the boat.
1341
00:57:59,443 --> 00:58:00,977
They can climb
up to the bottom.
1342
00:58:00,978 --> 00:58:03,647
Yeah, because
it's upside down.
1343
00:58:03,648 --> 00:58:05,216
Oh, gotcha.
1344
00:58:05,217 --> 00:58:07,551
There's this crew guy
that argues that they would
1345
00:58:07,552 --> 00:58:09,252
be safe by staying
where they are
1346
00:58:09,253 --> 00:58:11,254
and waiting for a rescue team.
1347
00:58:11,255 --> 00:58:12,856
And?
1348
00:58:12,857 --> 00:58:15,192
Well, they didn't
attempt the climb.
1349
00:58:15,193 --> 00:58:19,896
So most of the ones that sought
to escape following the pastor's
1350
00:58:19,897 --> 00:58:22,832
hunch made it out alive.
1351
00:58:22,833 --> 00:58:26,169
The rest, not so lucky.
1352
00:58:26,170 --> 00:58:32,009
Water poured in on them,
and, well, enough said.
1353
00:58:32,010 --> 00:58:35,646
So what's your point?
1354
00:58:35,647 --> 00:58:40,016
I see evolutionists as
being like that crew guy that
1355
00:58:40,017 --> 00:58:42,286
told the people that
there was no point in even
1356
00:58:42,287 --> 00:58:44,487
looking for an escape hatch.
1357
00:58:44,488 --> 00:58:49,059
We're just all going
to die, and it's over.
1358
00:58:49,060 --> 00:58:52,429
Well, we know that's not true.
1359
00:58:52,430 --> 00:58:59,202
So we look up, and we
climb up through Jesus.
1360
00:58:59,203 --> 00:59:02,506
The evolutionists, I mean,
at least the atheist ones,
1361
00:59:02,507 --> 00:59:05,242
right, they offer us no hope.
1362
00:59:05,243 --> 00:59:06,209
Right.
1363
00:59:06,210 --> 00:59:08,979
So we have to be
strong in our belief
1364
00:59:08,980 --> 00:59:13,182
and in our resolve to bring
as many with us to Heaven
1365
00:59:13,183 --> 00:59:14,684
as we can.
1366
00:59:14,685 --> 00:59:15,686
I'm trying.
1367
00:59:15,687 --> 00:59:17,087
I know.
1368
00:59:17,088 --> 00:59:20,357
I just-- I think that you need
help, more than I can provide,
1369
00:59:20,358 --> 00:59:22,392
you know?
1370
00:59:22,393 --> 00:59:25,562
Wait, did you say that Trey's
parents were Christian?
1371
00:59:25,563 --> 00:59:28,666
I did.
1372
00:59:28,667 --> 00:59:34,171
OK, crazy idea,
what if you contacted
1373
00:59:34,172 --> 00:59:36,139
them and prayed with them?
1374
00:59:36,140 --> 00:59:39,109
You know, like, little
synergy action going on there.
1375
00:59:39,110 --> 00:59:41,077
How am I gonna get
their contact info?
1376
00:59:41,078 --> 00:59:44,381
I can't just be like, hey, Trey,
can I get your parents' phone
1377
00:59:44,382 --> 00:59:48,584
number so we can tag team you on
some spiritual warfare prayer?
1378
00:59:48,585 --> 00:59:49,519
True.
1379
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:52,656
That would be a little creepy.
1380
00:59:52,657 --> 00:59:54,657
So you said he's
originally from Kansas?
1381
00:59:54,658 --> 00:59:56,961
I did.
1382
00:59:56,962 --> 00:59:59,596
All right, let me see if I
can track them down for you.
1383
00:59:59,597 --> 01:00:04,434
Oh, that could be like looking
for a needle in a haystack.
1384
01:00:04,435 --> 01:00:05,235
Mhm.
1385
01:00:09,340 --> 01:00:10,474
I'm back.
1386
01:00:10,475 --> 01:00:12,276
And I'm surprised.
1387
01:00:12,277 --> 01:00:15,011
Thought I scared you away
with all the deep discussion.
1388
01:00:15,012 --> 01:00:17,214
Hey, I don't like
shallow conversation.
1389
01:00:17,215 --> 01:00:20,351
But with you, I need my
deep-sea diving equipment.
1390
01:00:20,352 --> 01:00:21,751
I like it.
1391
01:00:21,752 --> 01:00:24,321
Well, hook up
your oxygen tank.
1392
01:00:24,322 --> 01:00:27,324
Let's go again.
1393
01:00:27,325 --> 01:00:30,661
So yesterday, you said
that we had no proof
1394
01:00:30,662 --> 01:00:32,562
that Jesus rose from the dead.
1395
01:00:32,563 --> 01:00:35,031
I want to submit an
intriguing piece of evidence
1396
01:00:35,032 --> 01:00:37,801
that I believe does just that.
1397
01:00:37,802 --> 01:00:40,437
There's a cloth that bears
the image of a man that shows
1398
01:00:40,438 --> 01:00:42,506
all the characteristics
of what the Bible says
1399
01:00:42,507 --> 01:00:43,874
Jesus went through.
1400
01:00:43,875 --> 01:00:46,109
Oh, you're talking about
the Stroud of Turin, right?
1401
01:00:46,110 --> 01:00:47,211
Oh, you know about it.
1402
01:00:47,212 --> 01:00:49,246
It's been debunked.
1403
01:00:49,247 --> 01:00:50,681
Not so fast.
1404
01:00:50,682 --> 01:00:53,382
You atheists sure love to
sling that word around a lot.
1405
01:00:53,383 --> 01:00:57,221
One detractor shows up, and you
claim that debunks everything.
1406
01:00:57,222 --> 01:00:58,922
They did carbon
dating on the shroud,
1407
01:00:58,923 --> 01:01:00,424
and they found that
the date was way
1408
01:01:00,425 --> 01:01:03,559
too late to have anything to do
with Jesus of the first century.
1409
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:06,029
Well, what if there was a
patch made on the cloth because
1410
01:01:06,030 --> 01:01:08,664
of the fire it went through,
and the carbon dating test
1411
01:01:08,665 --> 01:01:10,166
came from that section of cloth?
1412
01:01:10,167 --> 01:01:12,269
Well, then they would
get the date of the patch.
1413
01:01:12,270 --> 01:01:14,437
Mm-hmm, debunking
your debunking.
1414
01:01:14,438 --> 01:01:15,939
Is someone claiming
that happened?
1415
01:01:15,940 --> 01:01:17,241
Indeed.
1416
01:01:17,242 --> 01:01:19,242
Doesn't matter because the
supposed blood on the cloth
1417
01:01:19,243 --> 01:01:20,342
is not blood.
1418
01:01:20,343 --> 01:01:22,079
That was the opinion
of one guy who seemed
1419
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:23,981
to be a bit of a charlatan.
1420
01:01:23,982 --> 01:01:26,949
But the other expert
said that it was blood.
1421
01:01:26,950 --> 01:01:30,286
But the kicker, the thing
that should intrigue
1422
01:01:30,287 --> 01:01:33,056
a scientist like yourself,
is that the image
1423
01:01:33,057 --> 01:01:34,857
itself cannot be explained.
1424
01:01:34,858 --> 01:01:37,994
It's like a negative that
was burned on the shroud
1425
01:01:37,995 --> 01:01:40,029
and only goes one fiber deep.
1426
01:01:40,030 --> 01:01:42,266
We don't have technology
that can do that today,
1427
01:01:42,267 --> 01:01:44,034
and there certainly
isn't evidence of there
1428
01:01:44,035 --> 01:01:46,736
being technology back then.
1429
01:01:46,737 --> 01:01:49,006
So you're saying
that Jesus left
1430
01:01:49,007 --> 01:01:51,607
a photographic
negative of himself
1431
01:01:51,608 --> 01:01:54,678
as a testimony of
his return to life?
1432
01:01:57,648 --> 01:01:58,849
Maybe.
1433
01:01:58,850 --> 01:02:00,484
I just think that someone
with an inquiring mind,
1434
01:02:00,485 --> 01:02:02,319
such as yours, someone
who wants to get down
1435
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:04,787
to the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth,
1436
01:02:04,788 --> 01:02:07,357
would want to pursue that.
1437
01:02:07,358 --> 01:02:08,893
How do you know
so much about this?
1438
01:02:12,297 --> 01:02:14,164
My dad was working
with one of the members
1439
01:02:14,165 --> 01:02:17,601
that examined the shroud in
order to write a movie script.
1440
01:02:17,602 --> 01:02:21,771
Another one of your
dad's lame movies?
1441
01:02:21,772 --> 01:02:24,407
Did I say something wrong?
1442
01:02:24,408 --> 01:02:26,776
You know, I love my father.
1443
01:02:26,777 --> 01:02:30,614
I know you think he's a
nutcase, but I know better.
1444
01:02:30,615 --> 01:02:33,116
I'd appreciate it if you put
a lid on any rude comments
1445
01:02:33,117 --> 01:02:34,851
you want to make about him.
1446
01:02:34,852 --> 01:02:37,187
Jeez, sorry I ruffled
your pretty little feathers.
1447
01:02:37,188 --> 01:02:38,989
I'll check out the
shroud more in depth.
1448
01:02:38,990 --> 01:02:41,457
But I'm not sure that
it's acceptable evidence.
1449
01:02:41,458 --> 01:02:42,559
That's a key point.
1450
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:44,727
You guys seem to
decide what is evidence
1451
01:02:44,728 --> 01:02:46,996
and what isn't based on
whether it fits your narrative
1452
01:02:46,997 --> 01:02:49,832
or not, hardly
scientific or something
1453
01:02:49,833 --> 01:02:51,801
a truth seeker would do.
1454
01:02:51,802 --> 01:02:54,071
I like to examine all
the evidence for myself
1455
01:02:54,072 --> 01:02:56,239
and not rely on the
opinions of others.
1456
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:59,176
You know, Jeweli, there's a lot
of information, disinformation,
1457
01:02:59,177 --> 01:03:00,877
and misinformation out there.
1458
01:03:00,878 --> 01:03:04,114
And with AI's potential
to doctor and create media,
1459
01:03:04,115 --> 01:03:06,649
it's becoming a real challenge
to figure out what is true.
1460
01:03:06,650 --> 01:03:09,519
Yeah, I can certainly see a
great potential for the misuse
1461
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:11,021
of that technology.
1462
01:03:11,022 --> 01:03:14,757
Well, in any case, check
out Barrie Schwortz on YouTube
1463
01:03:14,758 --> 01:03:16,392
talking about the shroud.
1464
01:03:16,393 --> 01:03:18,094
He was the photographer
on the team,
1465
01:03:18,095 --> 01:03:22,466
and he thought that, after five
minutes of examining the shroud,
1466
01:03:22,467 --> 01:03:24,101
they would pronounce
it to be fake.
1467
01:03:24,102 --> 01:03:27,604
Instead, he was
convinced that it wasn't.
1468
01:03:27,605 --> 01:03:30,774
Of course he did, because it
bolstered his Christian faith.
1469
01:03:30,775 --> 01:03:32,409
No, he's not a Christian.
1470
01:03:32,410 --> 01:03:33,576
He's a Jew.
1471
01:03:33,577 --> 01:03:35,044
Oh, interesting.
1472
01:03:35,045 --> 01:03:37,414
All right, well,
but OK, if he's so
1473
01:03:37,415 --> 01:03:41,417
convinced that it's real, then
why hasn't he embraced Jesus?
1474
01:03:41,418 --> 01:03:42,852
Excellent question.
1475
01:03:42,853 --> 01:03:45,287
My dad actually made
a movie about that
1476
01:03:45,288 --> 01:03:48,757
where the theme is, when
a Jew embraces Jesus,
1477
01:03:48,758 --> 01:03:51,561
he does not cease
to being a Jew.
1478
01:03:51,562 --> 01:03:53,062
I know I made fun
of that one too.
1479
01:03:53,063 --> 01:03:54,264
I'm sorry.
1480
01:03:54,265 --> 01:03:56,066
But you know, you should
actually be grateful to me
1481
01:03:56,067 --> 01:03:59,102
because my mocking actually
drives traffic to his movies.
1482
01:03:59,103 --> 01:04:02,472
Yeah, and your people show up
like chuckleheads at PT Barnum's
1483
01:04:02,473 --> 01:04:04,074
freak show at the circus.
1484
01:04:04,075 --> 01:04:05,507
The geeks and
the bearded ladies
1485
01:04:05,508 --> 01:04:07,142
and the midgets and the giants.
1486
01:04:07,143 --> 01:04:09,546
Now they marvel at the
bizarre Christians who stand
1487
01:04:09,547 --> 01:04:12,982
up for old-fashioned values.
1488
01:04:12,983 --> 01:04:14,617
Tell me something.
1489
01:04:14,618 --> 01:04:15,919
Anything.
1490
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:17,487
Would you like
your groupies showing
1491
01:04:17,488 --> 01:04:20,022
up to laugh at your parents?
1492
01:04:20,023 --> 01:04:23,259
OK, uh, almost anything.
1493
01:04:23,260 --> 01:04:25,862
OK, well, why don't you pull
it out of me, why don't you,
1494
01:04:25,863 --> 01:04:27,129
all right?
1495
01:04:27,130 --> 01:04:29,599
I would not be happy if people
were mocking my parents.
1496
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:31,001
I haven't talked
to them in ages,
1497
01:04:31,002 --> 01:04:34,704
but I know them to
be decent people.
1498
01:04:34,705 --> 01:04:38,174
Misguided, perhaps, but
they have good hearts.
1499
01:04:38,175 --> 01:04:40,744
Which you've
probably broken a bit.
1500
01:04:40,745 --> 01:04:43,079
Hey, you know, I can't
choose the same path in life
1501
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:44,414
just because they want me to.
1502
01:04:44,415 --> 01:04:45,547
I gotta be me, Jeweli.
1503
01:04:45,548 --> 01:04:48,051
What else can I be but me?
1504
01:04:48,052 --> 01:04:50,721
My sister went
down that path too.
1505
01:04:50,722 --> 01:04:51,754
Lori?
- Yeah.
1506
01:04:51,755 --> 01:04:53,289
But now she's
back in the fold?
1507
01:04:53,290 --> 01:04:54,591
She is.
1508
01:04:54,592 --> 01:04:57,261
She went off to college a
good little Christian angel
1509
01:04:57,262 --> 01:05:01,831
and quickly got corrupted
in more ways than one.
1510
01:05:01,832 --> 01:05:03,666
Dad and I went through
hell as we fought
1511
01:05:03,667 --> 01:05:06,169
to help her find her way back.
1512
01:05:06,170 --> 01:05:07,504
But what about you?
1513
01:05:07,505 --> 01:05:09,572
You never wavered from the
path, just practically perfect
1514
01:05:09,573 --> 01:05:10,907
in every way?
1515
01:05:10,908 --> 01:05:13,542
You know, stupid people never
learn from their mistakes.
1516
01:05:13,543 --> 01:05:15,111
Intelligent people do.
1517
01:05:15,112 --> 01:05:17,347
Wise people learn
from others' mistakes
1518
01:05:17,348 --> 01:05:19,982
so they don't have to go through
the pain to absorb the lesson.
1519
01:05:19,983 --> 01:05:21,517
OK, wait a minute though.
1520
01:05:21,518 --> 01:05:23,752
I thought you said that you
went through hell and back
1521
01:05:23,753 --> 01:05:26,422
because Lori wandered off
the yellow brick road.
1522
01:05:26,423 --> 01:05:28,191
That sounds like pain to me.
1523
01:05:28,192 --> 01:05:31,694
Not all the pain she suffered,
collateral damage, maybe.
1524
01:05:31,695 --> 01:05:35,666
But bottom line, do
you still have at least
1525
01:05:35,667 --> 01:05:38,234
some love for your parents?
1526
01:05:38,235 --> 01:05:39,969
Truthfully, I don't
know what love is.
1527
01:05:39,970 --> 01:05:44,274
But I appreciate the fact they
brought me up in a good home.
1528
01:05:44,275 --> 01:05:45,541
Well, that's good.
1529
01:05:45,542 --> 01:05:49,512
At least that means there
is some hope for you.
1530
01:05:49,513 --> 01:05:52,114
But you can understand
why I get so agitated when
1531
01:05:52,115 --> 01:05:53,282
you make fun of my dad.
1532
01:05:53,283 --> 01:05:55,551
Yeah, and I'm sorry.
1533
01:05:55,552 --> 01:05:57,286
I won't do that again.
1534
01:05:57,287 --> 01:06:01,424
But will you take down the
videos where you do that?
1535
01:06:01,425 --> 01:06:05,561
Jeweli, my livelihood
comes from my content, OK?
1536
01:06:05,562 --> 01:06:08,031
That stuff was some
of my best releases.
1537
01:06:08,032 --> 01:06:09,832
I won't cut down your
dad in front of you,
1538
01:06:09,833 --> 01:06:12,067
but I'm not gonna go
erasing the past either.
1539
01:06:12,068 --> 01:06:15,471
Look, do you have some time to
get a coffee or tea or something
1540
01:06:15,472 --> 01:06:17,072
so we can continue
this conversation?
1541
01:06:17,073 --> 01:06:19,043
Yeah, but I only
have a few minutes.
1542
01:06:24,982 --> 01:06:27,016
Custard Cabins, cute place.
1543
01:06:27,017 --> 01:06:28,917
I've never seen it before.
1544
01:06:28,918 --> 01:06:30,921
Look around, Jeweli.
1545
01:06:30,922 --> 01:06:33,522
You know, I find it hard to
believe that you can look around
1546
01:06:33,523 --> 01:06:36,226
at all of the wonderful things
that God created for us,
1547
01:06:36,227 --> 01:06:38,727
and not see his handiwork.
1548
01:06:38,728 --> 01:06:40,029
For example?
1549
01:06:40,030 --> 01:06:42,466
Well, how about the
rebirth of spring?
1550
01:06:42,467 --> 01:06:44,867
All the trees seem to
die off in the winter,
1551
01:06:44,868 --> 01:06:47,302
but they're reborn in spring.
1552
01:06:47,303 --> 01:06:50,306
So you think that God created
the world to work like that
1553
01:06:50,307 --> 01:06:51,841
as a sign of eternal life?
1554
01:06:51,842 --> 01:06:53,842
Well, first of all, people
in the tropical zones
1555
01:06:53,843 --> 01:06:54,911
don't see that.
1556
01:06:54,912 --> 01:06:57,514
And second, that's not evidence.
1557
01:06:57,515 --> 01:06:58,914
You got something else?
1558
01:06:58,915 --> 01:07:02,351
Well, Jesus put
a lot of emphasis
1559
01:07:02,352 --> 01:07:04,019
on people producing fruit.
1560
01:07:04,020 --> 01:07:06,089
Look at all the fruit-bearing
plants and trees
1561
01:07:06,090 --> 01:07:08,724
and the healthy and
delicious aspects of them
1562
01:07:08,725 --> 01:07:09,926
and even the convenience.
1563
01:07:09,927 --> 01:07:12,729
Like, look at the banana
and how easy it is to peel
1564
01:07:12,730 --> 01:07:14,531
to obtain the good stuff.
1565
01:07:14,532 --> 01:07:17,734
And tell me, how does
producing that fruit
1566
01:07:17,735 --> 01:07:19,502
assist the tree in surviving?
1567
01:07:19,503 --> 01:07:21,371
Like the grapefruits,
for example,
1568
01:07:21,372 --> 01:07:23,839
they're comprised of 80% water.
1569
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:26,476
Each grapefruit on that
tree is zapping water
1570
01:07:26,477 --> 01:07:28,511
resources from the tree itself.
1571
01:07:28,512 --> 01:07:32,281
Seems that having mutations
to take a nonbearing fruit
1572
01:07:32,282 --> 01:07:36,419
tree into one that produces
water and nutrient-dense produce
1573
01:07:36,420 --> 01:07:39,089
is not something that natural
selection would bless.
1574
01:07:39,090 --> 01:07:41,057
All right, well, first
of all, the grapefruit
1575
01:07:41,058 --> 01:07:43,326
is not a native plant
that God created.
1576
01:07:43,327 --> 01:07:46,996
It's a cross between pomelos
and Citrus sinensis, which
1577
01:07:46,997 --> 01:07:49,799
was a hybrid of Citrus
reticulata and Citrus
1578
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,367
maxima-- evolution in action.
1579
01:07:52,368 --> 01:07:54,271
Whether hybrid or not,
where's the advantage
1580
01:07:54,272 --> 01:07:58,007
for the tree and growing pomelo
citrus whatever you said?
1581
01:07:58,008 --> 01:08:01,177
Wherever water is
plentiful, it's not a problem.
1582
01:08:01,178 --> 01:08:03,112
You guys act like if
you had enough time,
1583
01:08:03,113 --> 01:08:06,282
you could shake up a can
of LEGOs, dump it out,
1584
01:08:06,283 --> 01:08:09,919
and it would assemble itself
into the Taj Mahal, I mean,
1585
01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:12,589
complete with indoor
plumbing, heating and air,
1586
01:08:12,590 --> 01:08:14,089
electricity, and a Wi-Fi.
1587
01:08:14,090 --> 01:08:15,992
And that's crazy,
especially since we
1588
01:08:15,993 --> 01:08:18,561
know how complex cells are.
1589
01:08:18,562 --> 01:08:21,264
You can't tell me
where cells came from.
1590
01:08:21,265 --> 01:08:24,967
But you can say without a doubt
that they all came together
1591
01:08:24,968 --> 01:08:28,371
at some point to
create a human body
1592
01:08:28,372 --> 01:08:31,074
with all of its complex
and interworking systems.
1593
01:08:31,075 --> 01:08:33,909
Complexity is no argument
against evolution, Jeweli.
1594
01:08:33,910 --> 01:08:34,877
Are you kidding me?
1595
01:08:34,878 --> 01:08:36,212
Sure it is.
1596
01:08:36,213 --> 01:08:38,847
I mean, the more complex the
organism, the more difficult
1597
01:08:38,848 --> 01:08:42,217
the task, exponentially
more difficult even.
1598
01:08:42,218 --> 01:08:43,986
Your pet equation
seems to be anything
1599
01:08:43,987 --> 01:08:46,256
plus time equals everything.
1600
01:08:46,257 --> 01:08:49,826
Instead of invoking Father
God, you invoke Father Time.
1601
01:08:49,827 --> 01:08:51,861
We've been over this
before, time of the gaps,
1602
01:08:51,862 --> 01:08:52,662
as you called it.
1603
01:08:52,663 --> 01:08:57,266
Oh my gosh, I have to go.
1604
01:08:57,267 --> 01:09:00,403
Here, take a look at that
when you have a chance.
1605
01:09:08,378 --> 01:09:11,914
Please draw me a picture of
how gradual mutations could lead
1606
01:09:11,915 --> 01:09:14,049
to the formation of
a heart and a liver
1607
01:09:14,050 --> 01:09:17,019
and a set of lungs and blood
with clotting capability
1608
01:09:17,020 --> 01:09:19,489
and miles of blood vessels to
carry that blood and oxygen
1609
01:09:19,490 --> 01:09:21,691
and nutrients out to the
cells and return the waste
1610
01:09:21,692 --> 01:09:23,226
products to the liver.
1611
01:09:23,227 --> 01:09:26,029
If you can show me how all of
these intricate body functions
1612
01:09:26,030 --> 01:09:28,197
could develop over
time when all of them
1613
01:09:28,198 --> 01:09:30,666
are necessary for the
survival of a mammal,
1614
01:09:30,667 --> 01:09:33,969
I will abandon my belief
in God and join your side.
1615
01:09:33,970 --> 01:09:41,511
PS, I'm not worried because this
task is impossible Yeah, right.
1616
01:09:41,512 --> 01:09:43,180
Oh, boy.
1617
01:10:00,330 --> 01:10:02,799
Bingo.
1618
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:09,472
His father's name is
Steven Crawford in Kansas.
1619
01:10:09,473 --> 01:10:10,273
All right.
1620
01:10:16,347 --> 01:10:17,647
We're sorry.
1621
01:10:17,648 --> 01:10:19,582
The number you have
dialed is not in service.
1622
01:10:19,583 --> 01:10:21,952
Oh, you've got
to be kidding me.
1623
01:10:28,092 --> 01:10:33,296
All right, Facebook,
don't let me down.
1624
01:10:33,297 --> 01:10:38,234
All right, there's the haystack.
1625
01:10:38,235 --> 01:10:40,169
Now to find the needle.
1626
01:10:43,307 --> 01:10:45,141
What's up?
1627
01:10:45,142 --> 01:10:46,876
So did you thread
that needle yet?
1628
01:10:46,877 --> 01:10:48,511
Not quite.
1629
01:10:48,512 --> 01:10:51,947
Actually, it was
almost a slam dunk.
1630
01:10:51,948 --> 01:10:55,917
And then the phone number that
was listed is no longer active.
1631
01:10:55,918 --> 01:10:57,654
So now, I'm going
through Facebook
1632
01:10:57,655 --> 01:10:59,689
and trying to find
a Steven Crawford.
1633
01:10:59,690 --> 01:11:01,991
And there is a lot of them.
1634
01:11:01,992 --> 01:11:03,692
Why couldn't his name
have been something
1635
01:11:03,693 --> 01:11:07,664
like Clem Kadiddlehopper?
1636
01:11:07,665 --> 01:11:11,067
But I promise you, I will
find that proverbial needle.
1637
01:11:11,068 --> 01:11:13,569
Well, what if they're
not on Facebook?
1638
01:11:13,570 --> 01:11:15,871
That would be a monkey
wrench in my gearbox.
1639
01:11:15,872 --> 01:11:18,407
Or if they are, and
they just never use it.
1640
01:11:18,408 --> 01:11:21,511
Wow, you are just a fountain
of encouragement, aren't you?
1641
01:11:21,512 --> 01:11:23,446
Sorry, just being real.
1642
01:11:23,447 --> 01:11:27,717
Well, you can be real happy
when I find the treasure.
1643
01:11:27,718 --> 01:11:28,785
That I can do.
1644
01:11:34,592 --> 01:11:37,359
Eureka!
1645
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:41,364
Steven Crawford on Facebook.
1646
01:11:41,365 --> 01:11:44,299
But no phone number.
1647
01:11:44,300 --> 01:11:49,037
OK, plan B.
1648
01:11:54,345 --> 01:11:55,777
Hmm.
1649
01:11:55,778 --> 01:11:57,346
Hmm what?
1650
01:11:57,347 --> 01:12:00,549
Well, look, we just got
a message from a nonfriend
1651
01:12:00,550 --> 01:12:02,551
on our Facebook account.
1652
01:12:02,552 --> 01:12:05,954
She asks if we have
a son named Trey.
1653
01:12:05,955 --> 01:12:07,891
Should I answer her?
1654
01:12:07,892 --> 01:12:09,759
Sounds like a scam to me.
1655
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,461
There are a zillion conmen
and women out there, you know?
1656
01:12:12,462 --> 01:12:17,499
Well, I know, and I'm always
very leery of strangers.
1657
01:12:17,500 --> 01:12:21,571
Why don't you ask them
why they want to know?
1658
01:12:21,572 --> 01:12:23,673
OK, hold on.
1659
01:12:28,512 --> 01:12:31,081
Oh, wow, here.
1660
01:12:31,082 --> 01:12:34,517
She, um-- she said sh--
1661
01:12:34,518 --> 01:12:38,554
she and her sister are
wanting to pray with us
1662
01:12:38,555 --> 01:12:41,857
over Trey that he
returns-- oh, my gosh,
1663
01:12:41,858 --> 01:12:46,262
that he returns to the Lord.
1664
01:12:46,263 --> 01:12:47,296
Wow!
1665
01:12:47,297 --> 01:12:49,197
That sounds like a
divine appointment.
1666
01:12:49,198 --> 01:12:50,832
It's a good thing
you got back to them.
1667
01:12:50,833 --> 01:12:51,634
Yeah.
1668
01:12:51,635 --> 01:12:52,601
Make it happen.
1669
01:12:52,602 --> 01:12:53,403
OK.
1670
01:13:03,413 --> 01:13:06,549
So what's up with Trey
and Jesus freak babe?
1671
01:13:06,550 --> 01:13:07,917
I have no idea.
1672
01:13:07,918 --> 01:13:09,351
He stopped confiding
in me after I
1673
01:13:09,352 --> 01:13:12,287
suggested he use some
less-than-noble tactics on her.
1674
01:13:12,288 --> 01:13:13,922
Now I'm afraid she's
put a spell on him
1675
01:13:13,923 --> 01:13:16,226
and has sabotaged his passion
for fighting a good fight
1676
01:13:16,227 --> 01:13:17,226
against creationism.
1677
01:13:17,227 --> 01:13:19,729
But I warned him.
1678
01:13:19,730 --> 01:13:21,931
Should we intervene somehow?
1679
01:13:21,932 --> 01:13:22,731
Absolutely.
1680
01:13:22,732 --> 01:13:23,799
I'll tell you what.
1681
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:25,501
You come up with a
good plan, I'll be more
1682
01:13:25,502 --> 01:13:27,669
than happy to put it into play.
1683
01:13:27,670 --> 01:13:32,107
I am not squeamish at all
about being less than noble.
1684
01:13:32,108 --> 01:13:33,142
Good.
1685
01:13:33,143 --> 01:13:34,711
Let me wrap my brain
cells around this
1686
01:13:34,712 --> 01:13:36,646
and come up with a solution.
1687
01:13:36,647 --> 01:13:38,047
Deal.
1688
01:13:45,422 --> 01:13:47,791
Using that one job phrase--
1689
01:13:47,792 --> 01:13:50,259
I had one job as
a parent to raise
1690
01:13:50,260 --> 01:13:53,529
my offspring to love and
have faith in Jesus Christ,
1691
01:13:53,530 --> 01:13:57,532
and I fail miserably.
1692
01:13:57,533 --> 01:13:59,936
You know, my dad always
uses an expression that he
1693
01:13:59,937 --> 01:14:03,972
stole from Yogi Berra I think.
1694
01:14:03,973 --> 01:14:05,974
It ain't over until it's over.
1695
01:14:05,975 --> 01:14:06,909
You know what?
1696
01:14:06,910 --> 01:14:08,611
I keep telling him
the same thing.
1697
01:14:08,612 --> 01:14:13,182
Oh, when I hear the stories
of child trafficking
1698
01:14:13,183 --> 01:14:15,851
and-- and the
brutality of people,
1699
01:14:15,852 --> 01:14:22,191
I just want to cry out to
Jesus to come back right now.
1700
01:14:22,192 --> 01:14:27,629
But our son would
be lost if he did.
1701
01:14:27,630 --> 01:14:29,866
And so many of the
younger generations
1702
01:14:29,867 --> 01:14:32,001
are in the same situation.
1703
01:14:32,002 --> 01:14:36,272
I mean, it's like this epidemic.
1704
01:14:36,273 --> 01:14:38,174
I wonder if this is
the great falling away
1705
01:14:38,175 --> 01:14:40,142
that the Bible talks about.
1706
01:14:40,143 --> 01:14:43,746
Statistically, the
statistics are awful.
1707
01:14:43,747 --> 01:14:46,014
The young generation
is just not embracing
1708
01:14:46,015 --> 01:14:47,682
the faith of their parents.
1709
01:14:47,683 --> 01:14:51,321
Well, parents are
losing their faith also.
1710
01:14:51,322 --> 01:14:57,861
I mean, when I hear the story
in the Bible of, you raise up
1711
01:14:57,862 --> 01:15:01,664
your child in the way he should
go, and when he gets older,
1712
01:15:01,665 --> 01:15:04,834
he will not depart
from it, girl,
1713
01:15:04,835 --> 01:15:07,769
I just have to bite my tongue.
1714
01:15:07,770 --> 01:15:12,374
Yeah, but as far as I can
tell, we did everything right.
1715
01:15:12,375 --> 01:15:15,277
But the results are all wrong.
1716
01:15:15,278 --> 01:15:18,881
And I don't see any
evidence of that changing.
1717
01:15:18,882 --> 01:15:23,552
Listen, I'm sorry to be
fencing on you like this.
1718
01:15:23,553 --> 01:15:26,822
I mean, we're just--
we're at our wits end.
1719
01:15:26,823 --> 01:15:30,259
Our cup is overflowing
with frustration.
1720
01:15:30,260 --> 01:15:33,096
I know exactly what you mean.
1721
01:15:33,097 --> 01:15:36,332
Yeah, that would
be because of me.
1722
01:15:36,333 --> 01:15:41,102
I was a prodigal, and the
Lord reeled me back in.
1723
01:15:41,103 --> 01:15:43,539
He can do the same for Trey.
1724
01:15:43,540 --> 01:15:45,174
Well, we know he can.
1725
01:15:45,175 --> 01:15:51,481
The $64,000 question is,
will he before it's too late?
1726
01:15:51,482 --> 01:15:55,351
Well, I'm doing what I
can to make that happen.
1727
01:15:55,352 --> 01:15:59,287
And that's why we asked to
pray together with you guys.
1728
01:15:59,288 --> 01:16:02,424
So shall we get started?
1729
01:16:02,425 --> 01:16:04,359
Absolutely.
1730
01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:05,228
Lead on.
1731
01:16:08,365 --> 01:16:10,432
Wow, I can't believe
it's already been two weeks
1732
01:16:10,433 --> 01:16:12,434
since we started this routine.
1733
01:16:12,435 --> 01:16:15,871
I can already feel a big
difference in my body.
1734
01:16:15,872 --> 01:16:18,141
Well, the goal is
to not get you buff,
1735
01:16:18,142 --> 01:16:20,042
but spiritually enlightened.
1736
01:16:20,043 --> 01:16:22,144
Well, I told you, I wasn't
gonna be an easy mark.
1737
01:16:22,145 --> 01:16:26,114
Yeah, the problem
is, your confidence
1738
01:16:26,115 --> 01:16:28,451
is in your own intelligence.
1739
01:16:28,452 --> 01:16:30,419
What else do I have
to base anything on?
1740
01:16:30,420 --> 01:16:33,389
I mean, it would be stupid
to put my trust in ignorance.
1741
01:16:33,390 --> 01:16:36,024
It's like, if God
did create us, then
1742
01:16:36,025 --> 01:16:38,427
he obviously gave us brains.
1743
01:16:38,428 --> 01:16:40,629
And we're supposed to use
them just like the muscles
1744
01:16:40,630 --> 01:16:41,897
we're working out right now.
1745
01:16:41,898 --> 01:16:43,799
If you don't use
them, you lose them.
1746
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:46,267
And didn't the Bible say
to be as wise as serpents?
1747
01:16:46,268 --> 01:16:48,371
And as harmless as doves.
1748
01:16:48,372 --> 01:16:50,872
But it also says to not lean
on your own understanding
1749
01:16:50,873 --> 01:16:53,242
and to put your trust in Him.
1750
01:16:53,243 --> 01:16:54,644
Well, do you?
1751
01:16:54,645 --> 01:16:59,214
I mean, do you just totally turn
your brain off and trust in God?
1752
01:16:59,215 --> 01:17:00,682
I'd be lying if I said I did.
1753
01:17:00,683 --> 01:17:02,451
And I don't do it all the time.
1754
01:17:02,452 --> 01:17:04,319
But I do know that when
I trust in the Lord,
1755
01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:07,089
it's the most important
thing that I could ever do.
1756
01:17:07,090 --> 01:17:08,724
Let me throw you a curveball.
1757
01:17:08,725 --> 01:17:12,161
There's a law in science
called biogenesis, right?
1758
01:17:12,162 --> 01:17:14,629
Yeah, life only
comes from life.
1759
01:17:14,630 --> 01:17:18,134
So in order for life to
begin, that law would have had
1760
01:17:18,135 --> 01:17:19,736
to been broken at some point.
1761
01:17:19,737 --> 01:17:21,737
Yeah, that's
called abiogenesis,
1762
01:17:21,738 --> 01:17:23,739
and it's probably
happened lots of times.
1763
01:17:23,740 --> 01:17:28,211
But if it can be broken, then
how can it be considered a law?
1764
01:17:28,212 --> 01:17:30,712
And where do the laws of
science come from anyway?
1765
01:17:30,713 --> 01:17:32,681
Do they not have
to have a lawmaker?
1766
01:17:32,682 --> 01:17:36,886
Aren't you just putting your
faith in scientists rather than
1767
01:17:36,887 --> 01:17:39,654
in your own brains to
realize that there are
1768
01:17:39,655 --> 01:17:42,291
questions that
science can't answer?
1769
01:17:42,292 --> 01:17:43,259
They have answers.
1770
01:17:43,260 --> 01:17:44,292
Yeah.
1771
01:17:44,293 --> 01:17:45,927
They throw spaghetti
against the wall,
1772
01:17:45,928 --> 01:17:48,164
and they hope it will stick.
1773
01:17:48,165 --> 01:17:50,199
Those answers don't cut it.
1774
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:53,001
What I keep hearing for
arguments for evolution is,
1775
01:17:53,002 --> 01:17:55,537
this is how it
could have happened,
1776
01:17:55,538 --> 01:17:58,006
just wishful speculations.
1777
01:17:58,007 --> 01:18:00,209
Then why do so many
people not only embrace
1778
01:18:00,210 --> 01:18:03,011
evolution, but swear by it?
1779
01:18:03,012 --> 01:18:04,814
You want the truth?
1780
01:18:04,815 --> 01:18:07,482
I'm not sure you could
handle the truth.
1781
01:18:07,483 --> 01:18:11,219
I can handle anything
you throw my way.
1782
01:18:11,220 --> 01:18:14,156
So many people have
fallen into the subtle trap
1783
01:18:14,157 --> 01:18:15,657
that the devil has set for them.
1784
01:18:15,658 --> 01:18:18,261
And they don't have the brains
to realize they've been hacked.
1785
01:18:18,262 --> 01:18:20,096
Oh, come on, Jeweli.
1786
01:18:20,097 --> 01:18:22,731
Don't tell me you're gonna pin
the rap on the pointy-headed guy
1787
01:18:22,732 --> 01:18:25,167
with the red suit
and the pitchfork?
1788
01:18:25,168 --> 01:18:27,036
Prove to me the devil exists.
1789
01:18:27,037 --> 01:18:28,871
You got photographs, eyewitnesses?
1790
01:18:28,872 --> 01:18:30,339
You wouldn't
accept eyewitnesses.
1791
01:18:30,340 --> 01:18:32,607
You don't even consider
that evidence unless it's
1792
01:18:32,608 --> 01:18:33,876
favorable to your position.
1793
01:18:33,877 --> 01:18:35,344
I only believe what I can see.
1794
01:18:35,345 --> 01:18:36,646
Can you see the wind?
1795
01:18:36,647 --> 01:18:38,114
OK, I see what
you're doing here.
1796
01:18:38,115 --> 01:18:39,281
Let me amend my statement.
1797
01:18:39,282 --> 01:18:41,817
I only believe what my
five senses can detect.
1798
01:18:41,818 --> 01:18:44,854
So OK, I can't see the wind,
but I can detect the effects
1799
01:18:44,855 --> 01:18:47,389
of the wind, the
blowing of the leaves
1800
01:18:47,390 --> 01:18:49,224
and the the flowers waving.
1801
01:18:49,225 --> 01:18:52,361
So if you see branches
moving, you say the wind did it.
1802
01:18:52,362 --> 01:18:55,531
But if you see a rogue man
whose life is a mess who
1803
01:18:55,532 --> 01:18:58,066
has put his faith
in an invisible God,
1804
01:18:58,067 --> 01:19:00,036
you discount that as evidence.
1805
01:19:00,037 --> 01:19:03,406
You see, you
believe in the wind,
1806
01:19:03,407 --> 01:19:05,974
but you do not believe
in a redeemed man.
1807
01:19:05,975 --> 01:19:08,477
Well, I thought you said you
were throwing me a curveball.
1808
01:19:08,478 --> 01:19:10,446
It seems more like an
underhanded toss to me.
1809
01:19:10,447 --> 01:19:11,847
OK.
1810
01:19:11,848 --> 01:19:13,816
Well, try this on for size.
1811
01:19:13,817 --> 01:19:16,652
Where does love and
emotions come from?
1812
01:19:16,653 --> 01:19:19,187
Why do we appreciate beauty?
1813
01:19:19,188 --> 01:19:21,624
If we're just a bunch
of chemical reactions,
1814
01:19:21,625 --> 01:19:25,094
how is a human capable
of sacrificial love?
1815
01:19:25,095 --> 01:19:27,696
Love evolved to enable
the humans to propagate
1816
01:19:27,697 --> 01:19:28,964
and to ensure survival.
1817
01:19:28,965 --> 01:19:30,999
Yeah, give me a break.
1818
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:32,167
Lust does that.
1819
01:19:32,168 --> 01:19:35,304
Love goes way beyond
hormonal expression.
1820
01:19:35,305 --> 01:19:37,372
You guys talk out both
sides of your mouth
1821
01:19:37,373 --> 01:19:39,174
and manage to say
nothing at all.
1822
01:19:39,175 --> 01:19:41,811
Well, gee, Jeweli, why don't
you tell me how you really feel?
1823
01:19:41,812 --> 01:19:43,846
Or are you just
demonstrating the emotions
1824
01:19:43,847 --> 01:19:47,349
that you want me to explain
in evolutionary terms?
1825
01:19:47,350 --> 01:19:48,284
You know what?
1826
01:19:48,285 --> 01:19:49,584
This isn't working.
1827
01:19:49,585 --> 01:19:51,821
I'm never gonna reach
you with my intellect
1828
01:19:51,822 --> 01:19:54,222
and rational arguments.
1829
01:19:54,223 --> 01:19:58,794
I found a quote that I think
has to do with this situation
1830
01:19:58,795 --> 01:20:01,196
from Leo Tolstoy.
1831
01:20:01,197 --> 01:20:05,334
Most men can seldom accept even
the simplest and most obvious
1832
01:20:05,335 --> 01:20:09,071
truth if it obliges them to
admit the falsity of conclusions
1833
01:20:09,072 --> 01:20:11,974
which they have delighted in
explaining to colleagues, which
1834
01:20:11,975 --> 01:20:14,209
they have proudly
taught to others, which
1835
01:20:14,210 --> 01:20:18,747
they have woven thread by thread
into the fabric of their lives.
1836
01:20:18,748 --> 01:20:20,949
And another from
Winston Churchill--
1837
01:20:20,950 --> 01:20:23,786
men occasionally stumble over
the truth, but most of them
1838
01:20:23,787 --> 01:20:26,789
pick themselves up and hurry
off as if nothing had happened.
1839
01:20:26,790 --> 01:20:28,991
Well, the truth
about God and evolution
1840
01:20:28,992 --> 01:20:30,459
is not the most obvious.
1841
01:20:30,460 --> 01:20:32,361
Otherwise, people wouldn't
have been fighting
1842
01:20:32,362 --> 01:20:34,062
about it over centuries.
1843
01:20:34,063 --> 01:20:36,497
But I hope you weren't
thinking you were gonna bowl
1844
01:20:36,498 --> 01:20:38,166
me over with your platitudes.
1845
01:20:38,167 --> 01:20:39,667
You're the guy
the Bible describes
1846
01:20:39,668 --> 01:20:42,104
as ever learning and
never able to come
1847
01:20:42,105 --> 01:20:43,606
to the knowledge of the truth.
1848
01:20:43,607 --> 01:20:46,274
God's just gonna have to zap you
with a bolt of the Holy Spirit.
1849
01:20:46,275 --> 01:20:48,777
Ooh, that sounds painful,
and I'm not too fond of pain.
1850
01:20:48,778 --> 01:20:50,979
Yeah, I can relate.
1851
01:20:50,980 --> 01:20:53,182
I don't like banging my
head up against a wall.
1852
01:20:55,718 --> 01:20:58,521
You know, it seems like we're
in a Mexican standoff here,
1853
01:20:58,522 --> 01:21:01,657
so unless you want to
accompany me to a place
1854
01:21:01,658 --> 01:21:05,261
where the Holy Spirit
is manifesting,
1855
01:21:05,262 --> 01:21:06,394
I think we're done here.
1856
01:21:06,395 --> 01:21:08,897
What, does he not
make house calls?
1857
01:21:08,898 --> 01:21:10,566
Trey, I don't
need to be right.
1858
01:21:10,567 --> 01:21:13,936
I just need you to know
that you are loved.
1859
01:21:13,937 --> 01:21:16,504
And yeah, he makes house calls.
1860
01:21:16,505 --> 01:21:19,041
But I think it would be
best if we go to a place
1861
01:21:19,042 --> 01:21:21,877
where the Holy Spirit is
moving in other people too.
1862
01:21:21,878 --> 01:21:23,746
I'm assuming you're
talking about a church.
1863
01:21:23,747 --> 01:21:26,181
Yeah, no, thanks.
1864
01:21:26,182 --> 01:21:28,984
So no more gym sessions?
1865
01:21:28,985 --> 01:21:30,952
At 6:00 AM, that is.
1866
01:21:30,953 --> 01:21:35,258
I suggest you continue your
workouts, just not with me.
1867
01:21:45,535 --> 01:21:47,702
Hey, good
morning, boss man.
1868
01:21:47,703 --> 01:21:48,937
What's so good about it?
1869
01:21:48,938 --> 01:21:51,072
Oh, bad day at
the gym, I take it.
1870
01:21:51,073 --> 01:21:52,474
Well, not for you.
1871
01:21:52,475 --> 01:21:54,709
You can just forget about
me being corrupted by Little
1872
01:21:54,710 --> 01:21:56,144
Miss Goody Two Shoes anymore.
1873
01:21:56,145 --> 01:21:59,314
Oh, so you told her where she
could put her religious shtick.
1874
01:21:59,315 --> 01:22:00,216
I like it.
1875
01:22:00,217 --> 01:22:01,717
No.
1876
01:22:01,718 --> 01:22:03,386
So then she told
you where you can put
1877
01:22:03,387 --> 01:22:04,719
your punctuated equilibrium?
1878
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:05,521
No!
1879
01:22:05,522 --> 01:22:06,656
No, no, no, no.
1880
01:22:06,657 --> 01:22:08,324
We just mutually agreed,
we were butting heads,
1881
01:22:08,325 --> 01:22:09,724
and it was causing
us a headache.
1882
01:22:09,725 --> 01:22:11,292
Hey, hold all my calls.
1883
01:22:11,293 --> 01:22:13,027
Trey, we don't
have a switchboard,
1884
01:22:13,028 --> 01:22:15,364
and you have a cell phone.
1885
01:22:15,365 --> 01:22:16,297
Duh, Benji.
1886
01:22:16,298 --> 01:22:17,732
It was a joke.
1887
01:22:17,733 --> 01:22:18,967
I wasn't sure.
1888
01:22:18,968 --> 01:22:20,736
I thought maybe you were
too distraught that you were
1889
01:22:20,737 --> 01:22:23,237
losing your grip on reality.
1890
01:22:23,238 --> 01:22:24,039
Me?
1891
01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:26,041
Me, distraught?
1892
01:22:26,042 --> 01:22:27,276
Yeah.
1893
01:22:27,277 --> 01:22:28,677
No, no, no.
1894
01:22:28,678 --> 01:22:31,947
This just so complicates my life
so that I can go back to being
1895
01:22:31,948 --> 01:22:35,484
the carefree cabellero again.
1896
01:22:35,485 --> 01:22:36,284
All right.
1897
01:22:36,285 --> 01:22:38,219
Carefree caballero?
1898
01:22:38,220 --> 01:22:39,387
I don't know.
1899
01:22:39,388 --> 01:22:42,891
Wow, that's an
interesting development.
1900
01:22:42,892 --> 01:22:46,762
I never even got a chance to put
my fiendish plan into action.
1901
01:22:46,763 --> 01:22:49,764
Just what was your plot?
1902
01:22:49,765 --> 01:22:51,432
Confidential.
1903
01:22:51,433 --> 01:22:53,436
I may have to use
it on you one day.
1904
01:22:53,437 --> 01:22:54,469
OK, brother.
1905
01:22:54,470 --> 01:22:55,837
Great, now I got to
walk on eggshells
1906
01:22:55,838 --> 01:22:57,072
on both sides of the office.
1907
01:22:57,073 --> 01:22:58,072
Thanks, Tracy.
1908
01:22:58,073 --> 01:22:58,908
You're welcome.
1909
01:23:01,510 --> 01:23:02,777
I'm sorry, Sandy.
1910
01:23:02,778 --> 01:23:05,914
I can't-- I couldn't continue
the way it was going.
1911
01:23:05,915 --> 01:23:07,282
I'm just not that strong.
1912
01:23:07,283 --> 01:23:10,919
Oh, Jeweli, Jeweli, no,
don't-- don't worry about it.
1913
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:12,321
You gave it your best shot.
1914
01:23:12,322 --> 01:23:14,656
And for that, we're
really appreciative.
1915
01:23:14,657 --> 01:23:19,061
I mean, listen, I'm sure it
had a positive effect on Trey.
1916
01:23:19,062 --> 01:23:21,496
You know, it's really ironic.
1917
01:23:21,497 --> 01:23:25,334
Some kids grow up never
hearing about Jesus,
1918
01:23:25,335 --> 01:23:28,069
and they find him and rejoice.
1919
01:23:28,070 --> 01:23:30,506
And then, other kids grow
up in Christian homes,
1920
01:23:30,507 --> 01:23:32,807
and they-- they just
walk away from the best
1921
01:23:32,808 --> 01:23:34,709
thing in their life.
1922
01:23:34,710 --> 01:23:39,281
Someday-- Jeweli, someday
they'll all find out.
1923
01:23:39,282 --> 01:23:41,216
I just hope it's not
the day that every knee
1924
01:23:41,217 --> 01:23:44,819
bows and every tongue
confess that Jesus is Lord.
1925
01:23:44,820 --> 01:23:45,621
I know.
1926
01:23:45,622 --> 01:23:47,456
Amen.
1927
01:23:47,457 --> 01:23:50,692
Well, will you continue
to pray for him?
1928
01:23:50,693 --> 01:23:53,529
Yeah, that I can and will do.
1929
01:23:53,530 --> 01:23:57,132
You are a peach.
1930
01:23:57,133 --> 01:24:02,404
OK, listen, I am planning
a trip to your fair city.
1931
01:24:02,405 --> 01:24:04,706
Now, I'm not sure that
Trey is going to see me,
1932
01:24:04,707 --> 01:24:07,142
but I feel compelled to try.
1933
01:24:07,143 --> 01:24:10,279
I sure would love to
meet you in person.
1934
01:24:10,280 --> 01:24:11,479
That would be wonderful.
1935
01:24:11,480 --> 01:24:12,981
Cool.
Cool.
1936
01:24:12,982 --> 01:24:14,616
All right, well, I'll
reach out then as
1937
01:24:14,617 --> 01:24:18,119
soon as my plans are finalized.
1938
01:24:58,027 --> 01:24:59,061
- Hey, Tracy.
- Hey.
1939
01:24:59,062 --> 01:25:00,196
Did you finish that edit?
1940
01:25:00,197 --> 01:25:01,931
I did.
1941
01:25:01,932 --> 01:25:03,331
You want to go
grab some coffee?
1942
01:25:03,332 --> 01:25:04,332
You buying?
1943
01:25:04,333 --> 01:25:07,102
Sure.
1944
01:25:07,103 --> 01:25:08,672
I never turn down free coffee.
1945
01:25:12,142 --> 01:25:15,677
So are you planning on telling
me what's eating at you,
1946
01:25:15,678 --> 01:25:18,614
or did I just come
here as eye candy?
1947
01:25:18,615 --> 01:25:20,382
I'm not sure.
1948
01:25:20,383 --> 01:25:23,652
I feel like I want to rant, but
I figure I'll regret it if I do.
1949
01:25:23,653 --> 01:25:26,354
Well, go ahead and
rant because if not,
1950
01:25:26,355 --> 01:25:27,556
you're gonna explode.
1951
01:25:27,557 --> 01:25:30,759
And I definitely don't
wanna see you on the news.
1952
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:31,627
Maybe so.
1953
01:25:34,663 --> 01:25:36,097
Have you ever been
in love before?
1954
01:25:36,098 --> 01:25:37,399
Oh, whoa!
1955
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:39,867
I did not see that coming.
1956
01:25:39,868 --> 01:25:42,071
I thought we were here to
discuss your secret issues
1957
01:25:42,072 --> 01:25:43,839
and not pour out mine.
1958
01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:44,972
Just humor me here.
1959
01:25:44,973 --> 01:25:47,510
I'm trying to get a
grasp on what love is.
1960
01:25:51,882 --> 01:25:54,216
OK.
1961
01:25:54,217 --> 01:25:56,517
I was in love once before--
1962
01:25:56,518 --> 01:25:59,154
when I was much younger though.
1963
01:25:59,155 --> 01:26:05,294
I mean, he was my everything,
was my rising star.
1964
01:26:05,295 --> 01:26:08,196
And then he broke my heart.
1965
01:26:08,197 --> 01:26:11,632
And I decided then that I
did not wanna take the risk
1966
01:26:11,633 --> 01:26:13,501
of that ever happening again.
1967
01:26:13,502 --> 01:26:14,869
Exactly.
1968
01:26:14,870 --> 01:26:17,306
I mean, I'm trying to figure
out how these crazy emotions fit
1969
01:26:17,307 --> 01:26:19,107
into the evolutionary pattern.
1970
01:26:19,108 --> 01:26:21,476
I mean, it seems to me
that they're a handicap.
1971
01:26:21,477 --> 01:26:23,477
Look at Mr. Spock on Star Trek.
1972
01:26:23,478 --> 01:26:26,982
His lack of emotions spared
him from all the other drama
1973
01:26:26,983 --> 01:26:28,917
that the other crew experienced.
1974
01:26:28,918 --> 01:26:31,619
As he would say,
emotions are illogical.
1975
01:26:31,620 --> 01:26:35,691
So why did we not evolve out of
emotions if we had them before
1976
01:26:35,692 --> 01:26:39,027
or not evolve 'em
in the first place?
1977
01:26:39,028 --> 01:26:40,896
Well, let me guess.
1978
01:26:40,897 --> 01:26:44,399
She posed the question about
where does love come from.
1979
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:48,002
Ah, she slipped right
through your defense
1980
01:26:48,003 --> 01:26:51,272
of your scientific terms
when it comes to that, right?
1981
01:26:51,273 --> 01:26:53,107
Exactly.
1982
01:26:53,108 --> 01:26:54,642
Oh no.
1983
01:26:54,643 --> 01:26:55,444
What?
1984
01:26:55,445 --> 01:26:57,846
She's here.
1985
01:26:57,847 --> 01:27:02,284
Look, I'm no expert
at this, at all,
1986
01:27:02,285 --> 01:27:06,154
but I really think that you
need to talk with her directly
1987
01:27:06,155 --> 01:27:08,522
about this question
so you can get
1988
01:27:08,523 --> 01:27:12,427
this settled once and for all.
1989
01:27:12,428 --> 01:27:15,129
You know what?
1990
01:27:15,130 --> 01:27:16,164
Sit right here for me.
1991
01:27:41,958 --> 01:27:43,324
You wanted to see me?
1992
01:27:43,325 --> 01:27:45,594
No.
1993
01:27:45,595 --> 01:27:46,894
Yeah.
1994
01:27:46,895 --> 01:27:47,729
I don't know.
1995
01:27:47,730 --> 01:27:49,497
You're driving me crazy.
1996
01:27:49,498 --> 01:27:51,166
I'm driving you crazy?
1997
01:27:51,167 --> 01:27:53,167
I haven't even talked
to you in a few days.
1998
01:27:53,168 --> 01:27:55,036
You should be recovered
from the trauma
1999
01:27:55,037 --> 01:27:57,172
of interfacing with me by now.
2000
01:27:57,173 --> 01:27:58,941
Trauma?
2001
01:27:58,942 --> 01:28:02,644
If this is trauma,
chain me to a wall.
2002
01:28:02,645 --> 01:28:06,014
You know, maybe I
shouldn't tell you this,
2003
01:28:06,015 --> 01:28:09,217
but you really did rock my boat.
2004
01:28:09,218 --> 01:28:11,486
After I got into the car
after our mutual parting
2005
01:28:11,487 --> 01:28:12,887
of ways, this--
2006
01:28:12,888 --> 01:28:14,389
this song came on--
2007
01:28:14,390 --> 01:28:16,791
My World Is Empty
Without You, Babe.
2008
01:28:16,792 --> 01:28:19,594
And after a few almost
sleepless nights,
2009
01:28:19,595 --> 01:28:23,431
it dawned on me that I'm
missing something in my life.
2010
01:28:23,432 --> 01:28:24,999
It's not me.
2011
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:26,034
It's not?
2012
01:28:26,035 --> 01:28:27,369
Are you sure?
2013
01:28:27,370 --> 01:28:30,739
Because no one's ever
done this to me before.
2014
01:28:30,740 --> 01:28:32,507
I've never met anyone like you.
2015
01:28:32,508 --> 01:28:35,511
You have taken me
way out of my box.
2016
01:28:35,512 --> 01:28:36,877
That's out?
2017
01:28:36,878 --> 01:28:40,516
Well, if you let me take you
to a worship service tonight,
2018
01:28:40,517 --> 01:28:43,617
you'll find that it's not
me you primarily long for.
2019
01:28:43,618 --> 01:28:46,687
That's an interesting
proposal, I guess.
2020
01:28:46,688 --> 01:28:49,691
You know, I did some research
on a couple of topics
2021
01:28:49,692 --> 01:28:51,526
in the field of evolution.
2022
01:28:51,527 --> 01:28:55,397
One was that question about
emotions that you raised.
2023
01:28:55,398 --> 01:28:57,632
And the other was the
metamorphosis of the caterpillar
2024
01:28:57,633 --> 01:28:58,701
into the butterfly.
2025
01:28:58,702 --> 01:29:00,101
Excellent example.
2026
01:29:00,102 --> 01:29:01,802
Could the master
storyteller be giving
2027
01:29:01,803 --> 01:29:03,604
us a glimpse of the future?
2028
01:29:03,605 --> 01:29:07,476
A poor, drab little creature,
forced to crawl upon the Earth,
2029
01:29:07,477 --> 01:29:09,911
build its own little
tomb, and then
2030
01:29:09,912 --> 01:29:14,416
rises up in beautiful colors to
flit and fly through the sky.
2031
01:29:14,417 --> 01:29:17,152
Well, that's-- that's
not entirely accurate,
2032
01:29:17,153 --> 01:29:19,587
since some caterpillars
are pretty colorful,
2033
01:29:19,588 --> 01:29:22,991
and some flying insects that use
cocoons are pretty drab, but.
2034
01:29:22,992 --> 01:29:25,761
And as I was thinking
about that, this--
2035
01:29:25,762 --> 01:29:28,262
this Robin Williams
movie came to mind.
2036
01:29:28,263 --> 01:29:32,134
I don't remember the name of
it, but he's grieving the murder
2037
01:29:32,135 --> 01:29:34,636
of his friend,
and this butterfly
2038
01:29:34,637 --> 01:29:36,571
starts flying around his face.
2039
01:29:36,572 --> 01:29:37,372
Patch Adams.
2040
01:29:37,373 --> 01:29:39,141
Yeah, yeah, that's it.
2041
01:29:39,142 --> 01:29:41,009
So you think that
God created insects
2042
01:29:41,010 --> 01:29:45,179
to look like that to testify
to us of eternal life,
2043
01:29:45,180 --> 01:29:48,416
that we rise up out of our
graves and are set free?
2044
01:29:48,417 --> 01:29:49,517
It makes sense to me.
2045
01:29:49,518 --> 01:29:51,219
And nothing about that
process makes sense
2046
01:29:51,220 --> 01:29:53,321
in the light of evolution.
2047
01:29:53,322 --> 01:29:54,789
Well, again, I
should point out
2048
01:29:54,790 --> 01:29:56,291
that there are lots
of other insects
2049
01:29:56,292 --> 01:29:58,526
that use cocoons to
protect their larvae.
2050
01:29:58,527 --> 01:30:01,096
I don't think that
detracts from the butterfly's
2051
01:30:01,097 --> 01:30:03,999
message about eternal life.
2052
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:07,769
You know, I told your
dad that I had no desire
2053
01:30:07,770 --> 01:30:09,237
to be in a place like Heaven.
2054
01:30:09,238 --> 01:30:10,037
I know.
2055
01:30:10,038 --> 01:30:13,174
Maybe that was a bit rash.
2056
01:30:13,175 --> 01:30:15,544
Maybe I want to be
like the butterfly.
2057
01:30:15,545 --> 01:30:19,747
But what I do know is, I'm not
ready to go back into a church.
2058
01:30:19,748 --> 01:30:20,782
Yeah.
2059
01:30:20,783 --> 01:30:21,882
Well, you're in luck.
2060
01:30:21,883 --> 01:30:23,886
The worship service
that I was talking about
2061
01:30:23,887 --> 01:30:27,556
takes place outside, and
it will be super informal.
2062
01:30:27,557 --> 01:30:29,057
Hmm.
2063
01:30:29,058 --> 01:30:31,892
I-- I guess I could handle that.
2064
01:30:31,893 --> 01:30:32,694
What time?
2065
01:30:32,695 --> 01:30:33,627
7:00.
2066
01:30:33,628 --> 01:30:34,896
Would you like me
to pick you up?
2067
01:30:34,897 --> 01:30:36,631
You're afraid I won't
show up on my own.
2068
01:30:36,632 --> 01:30:38,332
No, just afraid
that you'll get
2069
01:30:38,333 --> 01:30:39,801
lost on the way or something.
2070
01:30:39,802 --> 01:30:41,536
OK, pick me up at the studio.
2071
01:30:41,537 --> 01:30:44,772
All right, I'll be there at
6:30 with mosquito repellent.
2072
01:30:51,513 --> 01:30:56,317
But now I am found
2073
01:30:56,318 --> 01:30:59,021
Was blind
2074
01:30:59,022 --> 01:31:04,992
But now I see
2075
01:31:04,993 --> 01:31:14,269
Let's just close our eyes
and rid all of our distractions
2076
01:31:14,270 --> 01:31:15,738
from our minds.
2077
01:31:18,540 --> 01:31:21,009
I feel like God is
leading me to share
2078
01:31:21,010 --> 01:31:23,611
this message in this passage.
2079
01:31:23,612 --> 01:31:24,746
God is love.
2080
01:31:24,747 --> 01:31:30,151
And that loves is born
of God and knows God.
2081
01:31:30,152 --> 01:31:33,856
This next song was
not part of my list,
2082
01:31:33,857 --> 01:31:35,825
but I feel led to sing it.
2083
01:31:39,028 --> 01:31:45,032
O Lord my God
2084
01:31:45,033 --> 01:31:50,606
When I in awesome wonder
2085
01:31:50,607 --> 01:32:00,248
Consider all the worlds
thy hands have made
2086
01:32:01,483 --> 01:32:06,754
I see the stars
2087
01:32:06,755 --> 01:32:12,192
I hear the rolling thunder
2088
01:32:12,193 --> 01:32:22,837
Thy power throughout
the universe displayed
2089
01:32:22,838 --> 01:32:33,247
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee
2090
01:32:33,248 --> 01:32:44,326
How great Thou art
2091
01:32:44,327 --> 01:32:54,502
Then sings my soul,
my Savior God, to Thee
2092
01:32:54,503 --> 01:33:05,080
How great Thou art
2093
01:33:10,753 --> 01:33:15,991
And when I think.
2094
01:33:15,992 --> 01:33:21,162
that God, his Son not sparing
2095
01:33:21,163 --> 01:33:25,066
Sent him to die
2096
01:33:25,067 --> 01:33:31,372
I scarce can take it in
2097
01:33:31,373 --> 01:33:36,577
That on the cross
2098
01:33:36,578 --> 01:33:41,682
My burden gladly bearing
2099
01:33:41,683 --> 01:33:50,859
He bled and died
to take away my sin
2100
01:35:04,933 --> 01:35:06,934
Hey, Mom, when you've
finished squeezing
2101
01:35:06,935 --> 01:35:10,371
the life out of Jeweli, can
have a moment alone with her?
2102
01:35:10,372 --> 01:35:11,839
Sure.
2103
01:35:24,120 --> 01:35:28,222
Well, you were right,
and you were wrong.
2104
01:35:28,223 --> 01:35:30,091
Excuse me?
2105
01:35:30,092 --> 01:35:33,694
I was needing someone else
in my life besides you, someone
2106
01:35:33,695 --> 01:35:37,231
that I once had
and let slip away.
2107
01:35:37,232 --> 01:35:40,667
But I guess my mind has
been renewed because I'm
2108
01:35:40,668 --> 01:35:42,704
seeing things so clearly now.
2109
01:35:42,705 --> 01:35:45,339
I was a sucker, led
down what seemed
2110
01:35:45,340 --> 01:35:47,476
to be a yellow brick road.
2111
01:35:47,477 --> 01:35:50,779
As the song goes, I was blind.
2112
01:35:50,780 --> 01:35:52,614
But now I see.
2113
01:35:52,615 --> 01:35:55,549
But even now, after
I've come to my senses
2114
01:35:55,550 --> 01:35:58,852
and let God penetrate
my armor again,
2115
01:35:58,853 --> 01:36:01,456
I still feel like
I'm in love with you.
2116
01:36:01,457 --> 01:36:04,459
I mean, after all, it was you
that made me believe that living
2117
01:36:04,460 --> 01:36:07,427
life forever wouldn't be
such a bad thing if I could
2118
01:36:07,428 --> 01:36:10,031
do it with someone like you.
2119
01:36:10,032 --> 01:36:11,399
I don't know what to say.
2120
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:12,634
I don't know.
2121
01:36:12,635 --> 01:36:15,669
Bottom line, I'd like
permission to-- to date you.
2122
01:36:15,670 --> 01:36:19,541
Oh, wait, you don't date.
2123
01:36:19,542 --> 01:36:21,576
Permission to court you.
2124
01:36:21,577 --> 01:36:24,879
And if you want to spend all
of our time going to church,
2125
01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:27,616
it's fine with me.
2126
01:36:27,617 --> 01:36:28,749
You're right.
2127
01:36:28,750 --> 01:36:30,852
I think it's not a good
time to make decisions.
2128
01:36:30,853 --> 01:36:35,891
But I will ponder this request
in my heart and pray about it.
2129
01:36:35,892 --> 01:36:38,692
Fair enough.
2130
01:36:38,693 --> 01:36:43,497
Jeweli, give
me your answer due
2131
01:36:43,498 --> 01:36:47,434
I'm half crazy
2132
01:36:47,435 --> 01:36:50,437
All for the love of you.
2133
01:36:50,438 --> 01:36:52,472
Well, someone's awfully
chipper this morning.
2134
01:36:52,473 --> 01:36:53,274
Let me guess.
2135
01:36:53,275 --> 01:36:54,107
Date went well?
2136
01:36:54,108 --> 01:36:55,476
It wasn't a date.
2137
01:36:55,477 --> 01:36:56,911
She doesn't date.
2138
01:36:56,912 --> 01:37:00,514
But OK, it was a wonderful time.
2139
01:37:00,515 --> 01:37:01,916
And now, I have
some news that'll
2140
01:37:01,917 --> 01:37:04,519
probably not make you day.
2141
01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:07,054
Trey, why are you
wearing that shirt?
2142
01:37:07,055 --> 01:37:08,222
Please tell me--
2143
01:37:08,223 --> 01:37:12,426
I'm taking down all
my atheistic content.
2144
01:37:12,427 --> 01:37:13,761
All?
2145
01:37:13,762 --> 01:37:16,331
Well, I'll edit some of the
videos that present pure science
2146
01:37:16,332 --> 01:37:18,299
dealing with evolution,
but I'll point
2147
01:37:18,300 --> 01:37:19,967
out the flaws in my teaching.
2148
01:37:19,968 --> 01:37:23,771
Right, and who exactly is
going to watch that garbage?
2149
01:37:23,772 --> 01:37:25,506
What happened, Trey?
2150
01:37:25,507 --> 01:37:28,742
Look, I don't really have
the words to describe it, OK?
2151
01:37:28,743 --> 01:37:31,379
I renewed a vow that
I made when I was
2152
01:37:31,380 --> 01:37:33,247
knee high to Shaquille O'Neal.
2153
01:37:33,248 --> 01:37:35,182
It was like a--
it was like I got
2154
01:37:35,183 --> 01:37:38,619
zapped by a bolt of electricity
and-- and-- and a feeling
2155
01:37:38,620 --> 01:37:42,624
of liquid love being poured all
over my body at the same time.
2156
01:37:42,625 --> 01:37:44,024
Liquid love?
2157
01:37:44,025 --> 01:37:46,627
That sounds like lyrics
from a bad pop song.
2158
01:37:46,628 --> 01:37:49,062
I know, but it's just the
first thing that came to mind.
2159
01:37:49,063 --> 01:37:51,766
I-- I still can't wrap
my mind around it.
2160
01:37:51,767 --> 01:37:53,367
You do understand
our subscribers
2161
01:37:53,368 --> 01:37:55,769
are gonna be like rats
leaving a sinking ship?
2162
01:37:55,770 --> 01:37:57,104
Yeah, I know.
2163
01:37:57,105 --> 01:37:59,907
I'm probably gonna have to
start looking for a day job now.
2164
01:37:59,908 --> 01:38:02,944
Which really translates
to, Benjamin and Tracy,
2165
01:38:02,945 --> 01:38:06,747
you need to change your LinkedIn
profiles to, looking for a job.
2166
01:38:06,748 --> 01:38:10,284
Look, I'm sorry, I made a new
video explaining to everyone
2167
01:38:10,285 --> 01:38:13,087
and apologizing them
for leading them astray
2168
01:38:13,088 --> 01:38:15,089
and warning them not
to take the bait that
2169
01:38:15,090 --> 01:38:16,724
led me to the brink of hell.
2170
01:38:16,725 --> 01:38:19,927
I have to repair all the
damage that I've done, guys.
2171
01:38:19,928 --> 01:38:22,196
Wow, so you just
crossed over the river,
2172
01:38:22,197 --> 01:38:24,197
and there's no coming back.
2173
01:38:24,198 --> 01:38:27,936
Trey, you are intentionally
going from a hero to a zero.
2174
01:38:27,937 --> 01:38:31,539
Why are you throwing everything
away, for a woman, no less?
2175
01:38:31,540 --> 01:38:34,074
First of all, I didn't
do it for any woman!
2176
01:38:34,075 --> 01:38:37,477
I did it for the
creator of the universe.
2177
01:38:37,478 --> 01:38:39,714
I had an experience, Benji.
2178
01:38:39,715 --> 01:38:42,617
I felt God, and I can't deny it.
2179
01:38:42,618 --> 01:38:45,419
And a man with an experience
is never at the mercy of a man
2180
01:38:45,420 --> 01:38:47,789
with only an arguments.
2181
01:38:47,790 --> 01:38:51,992
So just like that,
bam, you're one of them.
2182
01:38:51,993 --> 01:38:56,197
Someday, maybe
you'll understand.
2183
01:38:56,198 --> 01:38:58,932
I've got enough severance
pay saved up for you guys
2184
01:38:58,933 --> 01:39:00,234
for maybe a couple of weeks.
2185
01:39:00,235 --> 01:39:01,036
I'm sorry.
2186
01:39:01,037 --> 01:39:03,271
It's the most I can do.
2187
01:39:03,272 --> 01:39:05,339
I appreciate it.
2188
01:39:05,340 --> 01:39:10,611
I'd give you a hug goodbye,
but I'm just not feeling it.
2189
01:39:10,612 --> 01:39:13,347
I understand, but I
would appreciate it if you
2190
01:39:13,348 --> 01:39:14,716
guys would watch my new video.
2191
01:39:14,717 --> 01:39:17,719
Yeah, there is no
chance of that happening.
2192
01:39:17,720 --> 01:39:20,954
Hey, Benji, this is for you.
2193
01:39:20,955 --> 01:39:21,756
Read it.
2194
01:39:26,128 --> 01:39:29,464
For the record, Trey, you're
still knee high to Shaq.
2195
01:39:40,542 --> 01:39:42,576
Seems I shouldn't
have convinced that babe
2196
01:39:42,577 --> 01:39:44,679
to clear the air with him.
2197
01:39:44,680 --> 01:39:46,714
You did what?
2198
01:39:46,715 --> 01:39:48,882
I thought you had a fiendish
plan to keep 'em apart.
2199
01:39:48,883 --> 01:39:51,986
Yeah, I did.
2200
01:39:51,987 --> 01:39:55,456
But something caused me to
go in a different direction.
2201
01:39:55,457 --> 01:39:56,624
I'll never understand this.
2202
01:39:56,625 --> 01:39:59,059
Yeah, well, that would
make two of us, Tracy!
2203
01:39:59,060 --> 01:40:00,795
I'm surrounded by
Benedict Arnolds.
2204
01:40:23,218 --> 01:40:24,586
Hey.
2205
01:40:24,587 --> 01:40:28,256
Can you share your
table with me?
2206
01:40:28,257 --> 01:40:29,491
Of course.
2207
01:40:29,492 --> 01:40:32,861
The good doctor, what an honor.
2208
01:40:32,862 --> 01:40:34,261
I watched your video.
2209
01:40:34,262 --> 01:40:38,366
Impressive, especially when you
described how a lamb can survive
2210
01:40:38,367 --> 01:40:39,767
the bite of a venomous snake.
2211
01:40:39,768 --> 01:40:43,504
And you compared the devil to
the snake and the lamb of God.
2212
01:40:43,505 --> 01:40:45,572
It was amazing.
2213
01:40:45,573 --> 01:40:49,711
I also noticed your
subscribers plummeted.
2214
01:40:49,712 --> 01:40:50,844
Yep.
2215
01:40:50,845 --> 01:40:52,212
Inevitable.
2216
01:40:52,213 --> 01:40:55,816
You know, your dad told me
that if I made any confessions
2217
01:40:55,817 --> 01:40:59,286
to even the possibility of
truth in design that I'd become
2218
01:40:59,287 --> 01:41:01,222
a traitor to many of my fans.
2219
01:41:01,223 --> 01:41:02,991
Well, it turns out he was right.
2220
01:41:02,992 --> 01:41:06,094
It's kind of painful to
read some of the comments.
2221
01:41:06,095 --> 01:41:09,229
And I let my landlord know that
I'll be vacating the studio
2222
01:41:09,230 --> 01:41:10,931
at the end of the month.
2223
01:41:10,932 --> 01:41:13,201
My income's gonna be
dropping exponentially.
2224
01:41:13,202 --> 01:41:16,537
You won't be able to gain
new subscribers and viewers?
2225
01:41:16,538 --> 01:41:17,772
Highly unlikely.
2226
01:41:17,773 --> 01:41:20,574
Speaking of my
dad, I talked to him
2227
01:41:20,575 --> 01:41:22,376
after I watched the video.
2228
01:41:22,377 --> 01:41:24,612
And he thinks you could make
some really great science
2229
01:41:24,613 --> 01:41:27,714
content for homeschoolers and
help him with his movie scripts.
2230
01:41:27,715 --> 01:41:29,517
And I don't know how
much money is in that,
2231
01:41:29,518 --> 01:41:32,552
but the opportunity is there.
2232
01:41:32,553 --> 01:41:35,090
Wow, I'm speechless.
2233
01:41:38,660 --> 01:41:40,294
What?
2234
01:41:40,295 --> 01:41:41,962
I was just wondering
how soon you'd
2235
01:41:41,963 --> 01:41:43,231
be ready to take me to church?
2236
01:41:43,232 --> 01:41:44,999
Really?
2237
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:46,267
Yeah.
2238
01:41:46,268 --> 01:41:47,869
Well, today is Wednesday.
2239
01:41:47,870 --> 01:41:50,071
Does your church have
Wednesday evening services?
2240
01:41:50,072 --> 01:41:51,906
- We do.
- Are you available tonight?
2241
01:41:51,907 --> 01:41:52,739
I am.
2242
01:41:52,740 --> 01:41:54,207
Pick me up at 6:30?
2243
01:41:54,208 --> 01:41:55,909
Wild horses
couldn't keep me away.
2244
01:41:55,910 --> 01:41:59,614
Oh, I forgot.
2245
01:41:59,615 --> 01:42:01,216
My parents are in town.
2246
01:42:01,217 --> 01:42:02,616
Can I bring them along with me?
2247
01:42:02,617 --> 01:42:05,519
Yeah, parents,
not cool on a date,
2248
01:42:05,520 --> 01:42:08,089
but more than welcome
in a courtship.
2249
01:42:08,090 --> 01:42:09,289
Perfect.
2250
01:42:09,290 --> 01:42:11,659
Well, in the interim,
I'll give your dad a call
2251
01:42:11,660 --> 01:42:13,627
and see what kind of
havoc we can unleash
2252
01:42:13,628 --> 01:42:15,962
on the kingdom of darkness.
2253
01:42:37,818 --> 01:42:41,522
Lord,
we come before you
2254
01:42:41,523 --> 01:42:45,992
Seated humbly at your feet
2255
01:42:45,993 --> 01:42:49,797
May your glory fill this place
2256
01:42:49,798 --> 01:42:54,969
Come and fill us with
your love once again
2257
01:42:54,970 --> 01:42:58,672
Oh, Jesus, sweet Jesus
2258
01:42:58,673 --> 01:43:02,842
Come and fill us with your love
2259
01:43:02,843 --> 01:43:12,287
Master Savior, come and fill
us with your love once again
2260
01:43:16,858 --> 01:43:20,527
Lord, we kneel before you
2261
01:43:20,528 --> 01:43:25,199
We give our hearts too
2262
01:43:25,200 --> 01:43:28,636
We long for your embrace
2263
01:43:28,637 --> 01:43:33,607
Come and fill us with
your love once again
2264
01:43:33,608 --> 01:43:37,577
Oh, Jesus, sweet Jesus
2265
01:43:37,578 --> 01:43:41,582
Come and fill us with your love
2266
01:43:41,583 --> 01:43:51,327
Master, Savior, come and fill
us with your love once again
2267
01:44:14,917 --> 01:44:18,452
Lord, we call out to you
2268
01:44:18,453 --> 01:44:22,722
Rekindle our love for you
2269
01:44:22,723 --> 01:44:26,494
May your presence
fill this place
2270
01:44:26,495 --> 01:44:32,200
Come and fill us with
your love once again
2271
01:44:38,140 --> 01:44:41,976
Oh, Jesus, sweet Jesus
2272
01:44:41,977 --> 01:44:46,112
Come and fill us with your love
2273
01:44:46,113 --> 01:44:55,123
Master, Savior, come and fill
us with your love once again
