I think people don't believe in the flood today

because they don't have access to the accurate information

and evidences that are there.

They are simply captive

to entertainment, social media.

There you have movies like "Noah"

that in a very fictional and nonsensical way

distorts the Bible totally,

and for many people, that's the only source they have

for something they think is a biblical account.

And we have, of course,

the whole embedded presupposition of evolution

and the geologic column and all of these things

which tell students as they come along

that the Earth has existed for millions,

if not billions of years,

that man is a product simply of natural succession.

A flood is a supernatural event.

A flood is a divine judgment.

A flood destroyed mankind.

And they're not told

that there are evidences of these things.

They aren't shown the historicity of Genesis

to say that this holds up very well

in terms of our scientific age.

So it's simply, you know, on the one hand,

a lack of information,

- and then on the other hand... - The fear of man.

For the same reason that they don't believe in a lot of the things

that the Bible says are literally true,

literally history, and literally science.

The fear of looking silly

and the intimidation by people

who host science television shows and wear white lab coats.

I think it's really

that they're afraid of appearing silly in any way.

But when you actually go past the surface

and look at the feasibility of it and the historicity of it,

it's almost inescapably plausible.

Conventional scientists, the secular scientists

think that the present is the key to the past.

The Bible, in fact, tells us

that the past is the key to the present,

and the flood is key to understanding

why the world is the way it is today.

Not just the geology, but even the humanity.

Understanding the ark and the flood is very relevant

to understanding why the world is the way it is today

and how we got to be here.

Everyone is interested in their history,

and the flood is key to understanding our roots.

In the early 19th century,

when the idea of millions of years was developed,

it developed as a result of a conscious rejection

of the flood and the biblical chronology.

Most of the church came to the conclusion

that the flood wasn't global,

it wasn't really geologically significant,

the age of the Earth doesn't matter,

and so over the next 100-150 years,

the flood was just kind of forgotten.

And it still, in large measure today,

is ignored by most Christians.

They just never think of it and its relationship

to the question of the age of the Earth,

but it's critically important.

We can go back and we can see

in the fossil record, for example, what happened.

When we look at the world around us,

we look at all of those hundreds of rock layers,

they're sedimentary layers.

That means they were laid down by water.

The flood was a reminder that God judges sin,

and God said He's gonna judge the world again.

He sent the flood to punish evil at that time,

and that's why God sent the flood.

It's important to punish evil.

- That's justice. - Justice.

What is just?

The reason the ark is so amazingly relevant to the flood

is because man's sin

- deserves judgment. - Judgment.

The Bible clearly reveals that we are now approaching the time

when the second global judgment will come.

If we don't understand or believe

in the first global judgment,

then we will not be ready for the final global judgment.

So the consequences of the next judgment

could not possibly be more relevant.

What is at stake is heaven or hell.

[edgy music]

[narrator] The Holy Bible.

A book inspired and architected by God

and written by His people,

dating back to the beginning of real human history

from the time of man's true origins.

A book that teaches us

that the Earth is not millions of years old,

as we've been brought up to believe.

A book teaching us that we did not come from monkeys or apes

or primordial soup.

But a book that instead shows us our creator

is a loving, merciful, and just God.

A God who created a beautiful world

in which the entire planet was once a paradise,

a paradise that He gave to us

to fill up and multiply across.

In Genesis, we're shown that God had finished

all of creation in six literal days,

and that, indeed, everything he had created

was very, very good.

[stirring music]

[stirring music]

In the span of four days,

God was finished with the heavens and the Earth.

And it was on the fifth day

that He began making the sea creatures,

both great and small.

And on that very same day,

He also made all of the exotic flying creatures,

which flew through the open firmament

of the beautiful heaven.

On the sixth day,

He made all of the majestic land creatures,

which included all of the dinosaurs,

along with mankind.

He also planted a garden,

and in the midst of it,

the Tree of Life.

But there was another tree

God had also placed in the garden,

one that God commanded man

not to eat from.

Sadly, mankind used their free will

to sin against their holy and righteous God.

With free will comes consequences,

and in this case, the consequences of sin

would plunge mankind into darkness.

Before the Fall, God saw everything that He had made,

and it was very good, tov meod.

It was just the way it should have been.

It came forth exactly as he intended.

At the end of Genesis 1, it says it was very good.

"God looked at everything He had made,

and it was very good."

And we get some idea of how good it was

in the last three verses when God says

that both man and the animals and birds were vegetarian.

They didn't eat each other.

They ate the plants and the fruit of the plants.

That's telling us a lot about how very good the world was.

Creation was in a state of innocence.

This affirms a fundamental element of God's character.

He is good.

God is not the author of evil or death.

God came into the garden, He had fellowship with man,

and they could actually communicate with Him and see Him,

according to the way we understand the pre-Fall condition.

They would have lived forever.

God warned him beforehand,

"If you eat from this, you're going to die."

Well, Adam did eat.

God told Adam, "You're gonna die."

God said, "From dust you came,

and to dust you shall return,"

so that's physical death.

Through one man, sin entered the world,

and death through sin.

Adam and Eve began to die physically.

The fall of man affected the whole creation.

The ground was cursed.

The whole creation is groaning

in bondage to corruption.

Sadly, the reality of the Fall

is now easily seen wherever we look.

In this broken world, we see pervasive death,

violence, corruption, lies, hate, and sin.

Man is exiled from the place of God's own presence,

and that fellowship is not restored as it was.

Man is going to have to labor by the sweat of his brow,

and then he will return to the dust from which he was made.

That is what has happened to the world.

So it describes entropy,

the whole idea that things are subject to decay,

dissolution, finally death.

The whole world is like this.

It has a limited shelf life, so to speak.

It changed the world profoundly.

Pretty much everything was corrupted, the human soul.

Even the creatures were suddenly carnivorous or poisonous.

Diseases and viruses emerged that were otherwise benign.

It just radically changed everything.

It even changed plants.

Plants suddenly became weeds

and choked out the crops.

The ground was cursed.

Thorns and thistles began to grow.

We don't live in the original very good creation.

We live in a fallen creation, a cursed creation.

The Fall was a massive, catastrophic,

world-changing event.

So everything was corrupted.

It was a tragedy on the highest possible level.

Evil had to mature

before God unleashed the first judgment.

[ethereal music]

[narrator] The Lord God had made a beautiful world

in which everything was once very good.

But when the first man broke God's command,

man's domain was plunged into sin and death,

which only grew worse with the progression of time.

And it was not just men who had been corrupted,

but all under man's dominion.

Animals became carnivores

and turned on each other and man.

Where once the Earth had been filled with God's goodness,

now was filled with the celebration of evil

and endless violence.

Paradise, along with man's innocence,

was now gone.

[ominous music]

[ominous music]

[narrator] The Lord Jesus would tell us later

that just as in the days of Noah,

so too would the world become again

just before His return.

[solemn music]

Most flood geologists point out that the world, the Earth

had a more global warm mild climate,

and the evolutionists believe that too.

It's not just because of continental drift

that we find pine tree forests and dinosaur fossils

on Antarctica.

Not just because those continents

were once in different places,

but because the Earth had a warmer, milder, global climate,

heavier, lusher vegetation,

greener, thicker forests

that stretched further towards the poles

and away from the equatorial zones.

Right now, we just don't have the kinds of forests

that could generate the coal deposits that we have

or provided the vast source

for the carbon that would have been necessary

for the coal seams that we have today.

We would have had to have had a lusher, warmer,

more forested, more vegetated Earth.

Clearly, the amount of vegetation in the pre-flood world

was far superior,

far more luxuriant.

Today's world is a desert by comparison

to what the pre-flood world would have been like,

a much gentler topography, a much easier climate,

much more prolific vegetation and animal life.

We have many creatures in the fossil record

that are just like today,

but they were much larger.

So giantism in the fossil record.

That indicates that the pre-flood world

was much more suitable for biological life.

Originally at least, it wouldn't have had impassable mountain ranges.

It wouldn't have had huge desert areas.

God created the world to be inhabited.

Prior to the flood, mankind had wrecked

their environment to a large degree.

The Bible talks about the wickedness of men.

In Genesis 6, it speaks of "Every thought of man's heart

was only evil continually,"

and that the whole world was filled with violence because of man.

To me, I think it would be a very frightful place to live.

The intents and thoughts of the human heart

were only evil continually.

The Earth was filled with violence,

and all flesh had corrupted its way on the Earth.

So it was excessive sin and violence and wickedness,

and God said, "I'm going to destroy the Earth."

The remnant Noah and his family,

they found grace in God's sight.

Apparently they were not of those that were corrupted,

and God took that remnant of mankind,

was able to preserve it.

But one of the things people find interesting

is the lifespans of humans before the flood.

And Noah was 600 years old,

and after he got off the ark, he lived 350 more years.

He was 950 years old when he died.

Now, his sons that got off the ark

didn't live that long themselves,

but they lived into their 500s.

And then the next generation and the next generation,

the 400s, the 300s.

We are getting to Terah, Abraham's father,

living into his 200s.

Abraham lived to be 175.

And it was an exponential decay in the lifespans.

Adam and Eve had no mutations.

The first 10 patriarchs before the flood

had very low mutation rates,

and so they were all living to be about the same age.

Something happened at the time of the flood,

and that's when this incredible degeneration

of humanity happened.

There was this incredible decline in longevity.

When you plot the data, it's astounding.

Because the data, which is straight out of the Bible,

and you wouldn't expect scientific data in the Bible,

but the data follows a strict decay curve,

and it's stunning.

[cautious music]

[narrator] In the Bible, we are told that before the flood,

men lived to be nearly a thousand years old.

The average age of men at the time

was so staggeringly high compared to today

that some have a difficult time

comprehending how such longevity was even possible.

Yet, a major clue lies within the ages

given to us in the book of Genesis.

In almost computer-like fashion, the book of Genesis reveals

that the post-flood lifespans

of the genealogical line of Adam

following mathematical concepts known as exponential decay.

Meaning that if you were to graph the lifespans

of all of the men after the flood,

you don't see a linear line gradually sloping down,

as you would likely see if the ages were made up,

but instead, what you see is an exponentially decaying curve

with minor variations since no two people are alike.

Would the men who recorded these ages through history

really have conspired together to create data

that follows an exponential decay curve?

Instead, what we see resembles exactly the type of data

we would expect in the aftermath of a worldwide flood,

revealing a steep initial drop-off of lifespans

just after the flood

due to the catastrophic environmental changes.

No more access to nutrient-dense foods

from the world that was lost

and genetic mutations that were not before present.

The truth is that no one

at the time of recording these metrics

would even think to plot them in an exponential decay curve

if they were making a fiction.

This sophisticated decay curve is actually the result

of a real and easily provable flood event.

[pensive music]

The objections to Noah's flood

are mostly ridicule

and laugh out louds.

The only serious things are maybe trying to say,

"Well, where did the water go?

Where did the water come from?"

And then lampooning Noah's Ark.

There was a Discover Channel special

called "Noah's Ark: The True Story,"

where they showed actors portraying

the traditional biblical version of the story of Noah's Ark,

and then they showed you the true story.

And Noah was dressed in a tunic, was bare-chested,

had a shaved head, looked like an Egyptian,

and Noah's Ark was a beer barge.

I'm not kidding, look it up.

Discover Channel, "Noah's Ark: The True Story?"

How do they know that?

Asserting that that's what the real story was,

and then watched it fall apart into pieces

as it, of course, was structurally not sound,

ridiculing the structure of the ark.

When I was a masters student at Ohio State University,

I looked at the geometry

of the cross-section

and of the length

of just the straightforward reading of the Bible.

And I found out that it's dynamically stable,

90 degrees in pitch mode

and 90 degrees in yaw mode,

meaning it'll go all up to 90 degrees and it'll come back.

It's stable.

Not that that wouldn't have caused problems

for the people and the animals in the ark

if it had been tilted that much,

but that does show the stability.

Certainly whatever they could have taken in the turbulence,

the ark could have taken structurally.

This is a 200-scale ark, and I put it in my swimming pool,

and we put a measurement device on here that was one inch,

and so we were able to scale the waves.

And do you know that it scaled to 500-foot waves,

and it was still stable.

Never turned over, 500 foot.

A tsunami, by the way, is about a hundred feet.

So, it lets you know about the dynamic stability of this.

Most of biology didn't need to be on the ark.

Most plants didn't need to be on the ark.

Most insects didn't need to be on the ark.

Only the creatures that have breath in their lungs.

Most of the species live in the ocean,

which do just fine in a flood.

So the Bible doesn't say that Noah was to take

two of every species onto the ark.

He was to take two of every kind,

the same word that's used in Genesis 1

that talks about God creating different kinds

of plants and animals to reproduce after their kind.

And so we think there were maybe only about 1,400 kinds

and about 7,000 animals on the ark.

Average size, maybe a large sheep or a small cow,

but most creatures much smaller than that.

We're not talking about, for example,

two Great Danes, two German Shepherds,

two wolves, two coyotes.

He took two of the dog kind on the ark,

and we know from modern genetics

that there's tremendous genetic variation

built into the DNA for each kind of creature.

And so, creation scientists have been studying,

well, what was the created kind

in comparison to our modern classification system?

And they think that in most cases,

it was equivalent to approximately the family level.

The evolutionists just exaggerate

because they focus on species.

[narrator]Evolutionists often claim that

it would not be possible to fit all of the species of life on Earth

onto a ship the size of the ark,

even when factoring just how humongous

Noah's Ark actually was.

At roughly 50 feet high, 85 feet wide,

and more than 500 feet long,

the ark is the largest wooden vessel

known to have been built by man,

with the USS Wyoming,

a gigantic wooden schooner built in 1909,

coming in at second at 450 feet long.

Yet regardless of size, imagining how the ark

could fit 18 million species of all life on Earth

is a rather elementary-level way of understanding

the excellent efficiency of the ark's economy.

The reality is that the sea creatures,

insects, invertebrates, and plant species

did not need to be included on the ark.

You see, God instructed Noah

to only bring the vertebrae land animals,

and when you simplify those animals

to their genealogical class structure found in Genesis,

which is known as a kind,

you can further significantly reduce

the number of animal kinds needed

down to around roughly 1,400 kinds

or approximately 6,750 animals in total.

Of those animals, you also don't need to bring

fully mature adults,

when smaller juveniles would fit better, eat less,

waste less, and live longer

while reproducing in the post-flood world.

With roughly 6,750 animals onboard the ark,

we can now also estimate

that approximately 1,400 cages were needed,

and when considering that only 20% of the ark's volume

was needed for food storage,

you can see that we have plenty of room left over

for cages and infrastructure,

with the remaining area able to fit the equivalent

of 483 semi-trailers within its volume.

It's also no surprise

that the dimensions God gave for the ark

turn out to be optimal for stability.

In fact, if we were to scale the ark up,

it appears that modern cruise ships

have taken notes from the ark's dimensions,

as you can see striking similarities

in shapes and proportions that they share.

As you can observe, the influences of the ark

are alive and well today

and have long-reaching implications

in virtually every field of science,

including baraminology, botany,

hydrodynamics, anthropology, and more.

But as compelling as the science behind the ark is,

we must not forget that it is God

who orchestrated the events.

It was God who decided the time to judge the world had come.

And it was God who was ultimately responsible

for the deliverance of all who were aboard the ark.

[solemn music]

[solemn music]

[solemn music]

In the second book of Peter,

we are told that in the last days

before Jesus Christ returns,

people would deliberately ignore the evidence of the flood.

Or as the Bible puts it,

they would be willingly ignorant of the flood.

Peter tells us that in the last days,

men would mock the Bible

and the second coming of Jesus Christ,

and instead, they would walk after their own lusts,

just like they did in Noah's day.

You see, just as Noah had faith

to carry out God's command to build the ark

and just as Noah had faith

that God would bring them through the flood,

so we too must have faith

that God was perfectly capable

of preserving Noah, his family,

and all of the creatures aboard the ark.

Is it too difficult a thing

for the God who created the universe and everything in it

to preserve the life that he chooses?

Of course not.

So let us not be counted

among those who Peter prophesied

would ignore the evidence of the flood,

since we are indeed living near the end.

Instead, let us be named

among those who believe

in God and His word.

The Bible says that on the day

that the rains of the flood began,

all of the animals with the breath of life

were onboard the ark with Noah and his family,

and it was God Himself who would shut them all in

and save them from the coming judgment.

The global nature of the flood

is given in the biblical text,

and it's quite clear,

especially going to the original terms that are used.

Term for the flood itself is mabbul.

The unique Hebrew word mabbul.

It's used only one other place in the Old Testament.

That is in Psalm 29:10

where it says that God "sat as King at the flood."

It's a very unique term that sets this account apart

from other types of flood.

So this was a unique flood.

First we could talk about the flood itself,

the purpose of the flood.

Contrary to what many think,

it was not simply to destroy sinful man,

but also Genesis 6 tells us

to destroy all the land animals and birds

not on the ark with Noah

and to destroy the surface of the Earth,

and only a global flood would accomplish that purpose.

Then we can talk about the ark.

The purpose of the ark was not to save a few animals

so Noah could start a farm after the flood.

It was, as Genesis 7:3 says,

"To keep offspring alive on the face of all the Earth."

And then we have the repetition of universal terms.

Everything that is under the whole heaven,

under the whole Earth,

everything in which is the breath of life.

Those words appear sixty times in Genesis 6,

all, every, under heaven,

and when you have a repetition of those words,

that is emphatic.

Secondly, we have the duration of the flood,

370 days.

Why such an extensive flood if it was only local?

Why that duration of the flood? Why would it take so long

for it to recede and dry up?

There's no way a local flood could last that long.

We have the depth of the flood.

It covered all the high mountains

everywhere under the heavens,

and since water seeks a level plane,

it would have to be a global flood.

When the Scripture says that the waters rose

to about 24 feet above the mountains,

even if you give the idea

that the mountains were not as high as they are now,

they were upthrust after the flood,

you still have water only rising to its own level.

If we had a local flood,

then obviously there's no need to build an ark.

If the flood was local in the Middle East,

the ark was totally unnecessary.

The animals didn't need to go in there,

and He could have told Noah and his family

to go on a vacation to Europe or Egypt.

Noah and his family could have walked to a safer place.

And then why an ark at all?

Why such a large ark?

Why all the animals? Why the birds?

The birds could fly away.

Animals, there are animals in other places after all

if it's a local flood.

Just this whole idea of everything included in the ark

by the two of each kind

means you were trying to preserve all of life at that point.

Only a global flood fits the purpose of the ark.

Then we could talk about the volume.

It was way too big if it was just a local flood.

You also have the very theological concept

that if you had men elsewhere

who were not part of the judgment of the flood,

then the whole idea of a judgment on mankind

for corruption of the Earth would make no sense whatsoever.

God says, "I've seen the wickedness of man

that's great on the Earth."

Not just in one local place but on the Earth.

When we come to the New Testament,

you have a passage like 2 Peter 3:5-7.

It compares a flood that destroyed the world that was

with a future judgment on a coming world

or the world that now is.

If you had a local judgment in the past,

you'd have to have a local judgment in the future,

but, of course, this is the second coming of Jesus Christ

to judge His world,

and it has to be universal.

Well, if the flood was just a local event,

then what do you think?

Maybe when Jesus returns, just a local event?

Oh, no, it's gonna be a worldwide judgment as well.

And I would add one last thing,

and that is we can't find the Garden of Eden.

People look at the description

of the geography where the Garden of Eden was in Genesis 2.

The reason we can't find the Garden of Eden

is because the pre-flood world was completely destroyed.

It is now buried under thousands of feet

of sedimentary deposits.

So the flood was not a local flood.

[ominous music]

[narrator] The Bible tells us

that God looked upon His creation,

"and behold,

it was all corrupt,

for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the Earth."

[edgy music]

Every non-flood geologist on our planet

believes that the planet Mars had a global flood.

Creationists do believe, like the unbelievers,

like the secular geologists believe,

Mars did have a flood.

We think it happened the same time our flood did.

Maybe an asteroid storm

hitting the inner planets, the rocky planets.

Here on our planet, we're now currently covered

70% with water two miles deep,

and they can't buy that we once had a flood?

It's very, very easy for them to believe

that Mars had a global flood,

but for some reason, they can't accept

there's plenty of evidence that we've had a flood.

Where did all the water come from for the flood?

I mean, where did it come from and where did it go?

Well, look at the globe.

We're 3/4 covered with water two miles deep now.

It's all still here.

The most asked questions are

where did the water come from for the flood

and where did it go?

And the answer is easily explained

in the model of catastrophic plate tectonics.

The process of catastrophic plate tectonics

is very similar to conventional plate tectonics.

The main difference is the speed or the rate

at which these processes unfold.

Today, the plates are moving about

a few inches per year.

However, during the flood,

a billion times faster.

When the flood began, it began with these fountains

on the bottom of the deep ocean.

Where the Bible even says, "the fountains of the great deep

were opened up."

The mid-ocean ridge is 44,000 miles long.

Most of it is underwater.

That's why they call it the mid-ocean ridge.

And if it all erupted at the same time,

it would have made the ocean floor do this, wom,

and then, phooh, the mid-ocean ridge would have erupted

all around the world at the same time roughly,

but that first phase, wom,

would've caused sea level to rise a mile, plou.

Then this tidal wave coming out

from that sudden rise at the ocean floor in the middle

headed towards the continents.

Now that would have been the phase one of the flood.

The second phase of the flood, it says,

was when "the windows of heaven were opened."

It's no accident

that there's an order given there in the Scriptures.

"The fountains of the deep broke open."

That is the crust breaking open,

the water shooting up, the supersonic steam jets,

and carrying that ocean water up.

Then it fell as global torrential rainfall.

People all know that the flood

was 40 days and 40 nights of rain,

but the waters prevailed upon the Earth for 150 days.

When "the fountains of the great deep broke open,"

as the Bible describes,

that's the description of the fracturing

of the pre-flood crust.

You've got molten material

that's expanding as it solidifies.

The new ocean floor expanded.

That pushed up sea level.

That means that the ocean floor is actually gonna rise.

The ocean waters rose up to cover the continents.

The new ocean floor cooled and it shrank,

and therefore, sea level fell,

and the ocean waters drained off.

The floodwaters are still present

on the Earth's surface today.

They went into the new ocean basins

that were produced as a consequence of the flood.

In fact, the Earth is still 70% covered in water.

Yeah, the water's still here.

It's deep in those trenches.

Some of the trenches are 8;

now we find out 10 miles deep.

If we had lower land formations and a higher ocean floor,

we would probably be a water planet today

with no land surface.

And it's scraping the bottom of the barrel

to try to say where did all the water go.

It's still here and it's very easy to explain

that the same water, mostly, the same water that's here

would have been adequate to have flooded the Earth at one time

and that the situation has changed

so that water is now in deeper basins.

Not a problem in the flood model at all.

[narrator] We're all familiar

with the theory about Pangaea,

which holds that the continents were once connected

to form a supercontinent that later broke apart

through a process called plate tectonics.

Catastrophic plate tectonics is essentially the same idea

as conventional plate tectonics,

except that the timeline and events

are all centered around the year of the flood

instead of millions of years of slow processes.

You may be surprised

to learn that it was a man named Abraham Ortelius,

a famous cartographer from the 1500s,

who first proposed the idea

that the flood of Noah may have been responsible

for tearing apart the Americas from Europe and Africa.

Hundreds of years later,

another Christian by the name of Antonio Snider-Pellegrini

would first theorize

the modern concept of continental drift,

in which he illustrated two maps

depicting the continents of the world

as once joined together.

This was decades before German geologist Alfred Wegener

would propose his own version of the theory,

known today as Pangaea,

and be erroneously dubbed the father of continental drift.

Antonio was snubbed of this honorary title.

His crime was citing the book of Genesis,

in which he said he made the discovery

that at the beginning of creation,

there is only one continent.

You see, the book of Genesis

laid out exactly what happened to the Earth

in the past during the flood,

starting with what the Bible calls

"the fountains of the great deep opening."

It wouldn't be until the 1950s

that technology initially developed

to detect submarines underwater

would stumble across these gigantic scars

from the fountains of the great deep that had split open

exactly as the Bible had described.

How did a book thousands of years old

know exactly what was at the bottom of the ocean floor?

The Bible says that first

these giant subterranean rifts broke open,

piercing the Earth's crust,

spewing magma that created steam jets

that shot up into the sky.

Then the book of Genesis says

that the waters poured down as torrential rain

through the windows of heaven that were opened up

and that the rain lasted 40 days and 40 nights.

The supercontinent that the book of Genesis described

is now beginning to break apart.

At first, the newly partitioned continents oscillate,

slamming into each other

before starting their ultimate journey of separation.

This closes seaways and forms volcanoes and mountains

in the Americas and Europe,

such as the Appalachian and Caledonian ranges.

The seafloor spreads, forming from molten magma,

widening the separation between the new continents.

Scientists will later discover

that the seafloor at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge

is much younger than the seafloor

in other parts of the world,

exactly as the Bible suggests.

As this newly emerging volcanic floor spreads,

it subducts under the west coast of North America,

binding and releasing,

causing massive tsunamis

carrying mud mixed with sea creatures,

totally overwhelming the land.

As what's known as the Conjugate Shatsky Rise

pushes up during the subduction,

the Rocky Mountains also began to form,

along with the Independence Dike Swarm,

a 400-mile long volcanic region that billows ash

that covers half of America.

As the Western Interior Seaway emerges during this time,

the last of the dinosaurs are flooded,

mixed together with sea life,

and are buried in mud, sand, and ash

in the middle of America.

As we near the end of the flood, activity begins to cease

as the seafloor stops spreading and begins to cool.

As the new massive ocean floors cool and retract,

the waters reverse back down into the new ocean basins

and recede as much as a mile.

All over the Earth, trillions of fossils are left behind

as incredible evidence

of the worldwide catastrophic flood.

The most compelling evidence for a global flood

is the sediment record itself.

All over the Earth, what's under your feet?

Hundreds of distinct horizontal layers

generally with smooth interfaces between the layers.

The only way that such a record

could have come into existence

is global-scale processes producing the whole record

in a single global event.

All over the world, the layers are flat,

and there's no river channels in them.

Think about what you see at the Grand Canyon.

You see these flat pancakes, one on top of another,

just flat, flat, flat, flat.

They're basically erosionless.

Here's how they formed.

At the beginning of the flood,

there was movements of the crust.

Crustal movements actually cause earthquakes.

Earthquakes in water cause tsunamis.

The tsunamis then originating from the ocean areas

would then race across the continents.

Once the tsunami lost its power,

the sediment would settle down out of the water

and form a flat layer at the bottom.

That's the first layer.

Then another earthquake

in a different part of the world sets off a tsunami,

maybe a week later, maybe a day later,

brings in a different sediment.

The tsunami runs out of power in this area.

The sediments in the water settle to the bottom

and form another flat layer.

There's no erosion.

Again, you have a third tsunami

bringing in these sediments, third layer.

My simulations indicate

that these tsunamis were large enough

for a single tsunami

to sweep all the way across a continent.

These layers were formed underwater.

That's why they were so confusing to so many people.

It's fascinating to see the evolution scientists

explain their dig sites.

For example, at Dinosaur Provincial Park,

they have 10,000 dinosaurs buried

in this flat layer.

And you ask the site paleontologist,

"Well, how did these 10,000 dinosaurs

get in this flat layer?"

"Well, they died in a river in flood."

"Oh, what was the shape of the river bottom?"

"It was a flat river bottom."

So you're saying this river that was so strong

that could bury 10,000 dinosaurs over five miles wide,

which would be a raging river,

wasn't strong enough to cause an erosion channel?

Why isn't there a river cut from this river channel?

Why isn't there erosion from that river?

The answers make no sense

in light of this flat problem, the erosionless problem.

What we see at the Grand Canyon

is that the layers got bent at the edge of the plateau.

Because the folding was smooth

when the sediments were still soft,

the whole sequence had to be formed rapidly during the flood

and then bent at the end of the flood while they were still wet,

and so these folds are very strategic evidence

tying together all the layers,

and it emphatically demonstrates

that the millions of years never happened.

Or the fact that you have

what are called polystrate fossils.

They're usually trees that go through more than one layer.

These trees have three layers that are supposedly

30 million years worth of rock around them.

You know that if you start accumulating

sediment around the bottom,

that sediment would eat away at the bark,

the bark would rot, and the tree would die even sooner,

would fall over even less than a hundred years.

But here we have trees,

vertical, fossilized, with three layers.

In the worldwide flood, trees were swept up,

and they were floating on the top.

Now eventually, the trees became waterlogged

and sank to the bottom.

Now trees normally sink horizontal,

but some trees, as discovered by Dr. Steve Austin,

when they sink, they sink vertically.

If a tsunami wave comes,

and there was a lot of tsunami waves during the flood,

and brings in sediment,

when the tsunami wave loses power,

the sediment in the wave settles

into a flat layer at the bottom.

Maybe a week later or a day later,

another tsunami wave comes in from a different direction.

When the tsunami wave loses its power,

the sediment begins to fall,

and now it forms a second layer on top of the first

amongst this vertical tree that hadn't fossilized yet.

Now if that tree could be buried

with 30 feet of sediment in just, say, a week,

you could easily accumulate

the entire Grand Canyon stacked layers in a year's time.

It is the explanation that defeats the evolution time,

and it actually defeats the theory of evolution.

This is the single most important geological fact,

and nobody seems to teach this in college

or in the evolution world.

[narrator] Evolutionists claim

that the Earth is millions of years old,

and one of their so-called proofs

are stratified rock layers found within the geologic column.

Evolutionists teach that each layer

represents millions of years of rock formation

based upon their uniformitarian view

that says you can make assumptions about the past

based upon processes today.

But in doing so, you're assuming

that there were no catastrophic events, like a global flood.

Evolutionists also ignore

the flood evidence contained within these rock layers,

like sea creatures mixed together with land creatures.

Just ask any coal miner.

Anywhere on Earth they dig,

they find countless sea creatures

embedded into the rock.

You see, the Bible refutes evolution theory,

stating that it has only been roughly 6,000 years

since the beginning of creation,

giving the true account

of how the sedimentary layers formed,

as sedimentary rock is rock that is formed in water,

which is also incredible testimony of a worldwide flood.

Given that the Earth's surface

is made up mostly of water-formed sedimentary rock layers,

the fact that the layers were actually formed in water

also explains why there is no erosion found in between the layers,

as there would be if the layers took millions of years to form.

Then there's the issue of bended and folded rock,

which could only occur if the layers were pliable

and soft at the time of the bending,

which is exactly what a global flood would cause.

The bent layers also prove that their formation was rapid

with multiple layers forming rapidly on top of each other

because the bottom layers

would still have to be saturated with water

and didn't have enough time to dry out.

As forces acted upon the layers,

they bent in unison from top to bottom.

Claiming these layers folded together over millions of years

while still forming

cannot explain what geologists are observing.

Only underwater rapid burial could explain these phenomena,

remembering that sedimentary rock layers,

of which these are,

are formed in water in the first place.

To further prove that these rock layers

were formed quickly and in the flood

is the fact that in countless places around the world,

we find polystrate trees,

"poly" meaning many

and "strate" referring to the multiple layers

that these trees are running through.

If you understand anything

about how organic matter decomposes,

you'll know that it's impossible

for trees to remain intact for millions of years

while layers of dirt and debris slowly piled around them

and rain and moisture rot the wood out.

Instead, what the evidence shows

is that trees were swept up in the flood and carried off,

and as they became more waterlogged, they sank.

Some trees would sink uniformly

while other trees contained more water saturation

in what was left of their bottom roots.

These trees would be bottom-heavy

and float down to the floor but rest upright.

Tsunami waves would carry in sediments

that would bury the trees quickly in multiple layers.

In fact, geologists discovered

that the same sand from the eastern side of America

had been carried in tsunami waves

all the way to the west side of the continent.

This explains how the rock layers

contain fossils of sea creatures mixed in with land plants,

and it also explains

why the trees are missing their root systems,

and most importantly, why the trees are found

running straight through multiple rock layers

that evolutionists are claiming are millions of years old.

Let's also not forget that some of these layers

are the size of continents,

indicating that these trees and rocks were laid down

in a single and catastrophic event

and not local floods at different times.

Today, we assume that fossils

are a normal part of the cycle of life

since we see so many of them all over the world.

Yet fossilization is not what we observe at all

when something dies today.

Thankfully, dead matter does not fossilize today

under normal conditions,

but instead, God made dead matter

to break down and return to the Earth.

The fact that we see so many fossils indicates

that there was a worldwide event

that caused mass fossilization of all life on Earth

at one point in time.

Think about it.

If the Earth today is covered 71% in water,

water-formed sedimentary rock layers

made up most of the rock on Earth.

Inside those rock layers

are sea creatures mixed in with land creatures.

Some of these sedimentary layers span entire continents,

meaning they were formed all together in one event.

Multiple layers are bent and folded together,

proving rapid burial events created them.

We find trees spanning through multiple layers of rock,

and all over the globe,

we find massive areas of erosion,

such as great canyons carved out.

It is obvious that God left all of this evidence behind

as a testimony to the biblical flood.

The second most powerful evidence

are the fossils that are in these sedimentary layers.

To produce a fossil requires, in most cases,

especially for the larger kinds of organisms,

requires complete burial and rapid burial,

and that automatically speaks of catastrophic conditions.

So the fact that we find so many fossils so well-preserved,

many of them with evidence

that the animals were buried alive,

is another powerful evidence for a flood cataclysm.

There's a lot of fossils in museums.

In fact, the museums are full.

They don't want any more fossils.

The basements are full.

Museums have collected one billion fossils,

and scientists suggest that in the rocks,

and you could find these,

there are trillions of fossils.

If you see an animal die along the side of the road,

like a possum or a deer,

pretty soon that deer or that possum is gone.

The bones disintegrate, scavengers come,

the mice eat the bones, the pelt falls apart.

10 years later, it's just dust, there's nothing.

And yet there's these trillion fossils.

Here's why we have a trillion fossils.

There was this enormous flood.

It was a worldwide flood.

Tsunamis were racing across, bringing in sediment,

and quickly burying these animals.

As the flood receded,

all this ocean water percolated back through the sand

that was covering the animals

and provided the minerals to change the bones into fossils.

And that's how you get trillions of fossils.

You have to have a worldwide flood.

The one thing we frequently observe

is that the fossils have been exquisitely preserved.

What do I mean by that?

Well, we find all the details preserved in place.

For example, fish about to swallow another fish,

and it's been buried.

That tells you it had to be very rapid

to preserve those details.

In another example, we've got ichthyosaurs,

which are marine reptiles,

some of these up to six feet long,

and they've been buried

in the process of giving birth to a baby.

Another case of, you know, 10-12-foot-long fish

with an undigested fish in its stomach.

The details of wings of wasps.

The wings are open,

and the legs are in the flight position.

What can we think about? They were flying.

And those insects were trying to escape.

They're trying to go somewhere,

but they just got trapped with all the sediments

of the waters of the flood,

and that's why we can study them.

All these details require

extremely rapid burial.

It fits exactly with what the Bible says. It's consistent.

The destruction of the flood was rapid, sudden,

catastrophic on a global scale,

preserving these creatures sometimes in life positions,

caught in the action of doing something

and the details exquisitely preserved.

That's consistent with the biblical record of the flood.

It may surprise you to learn

that all of the rock layers of the world,

the named rock layers like the Cambrian, the Jurassic,

all of the layers of the world have saltwater creatures.

Huh, well, what greater proof would you need

that this was from a worldwide flood

that there's saltwater creatures in all the layers?

Now this is in the middle of the continents.

How did these saltwater creatures get here?

It would have to be a flood.

Now the evolution scientists have to explain

where these saltwater creatures came from, how they got there.

You're saying, Mr. Evolution Scientist,

that there's saltwater creatures in all these layers,

and you're saying the oceans rose,

covered the middle of the United States, and went back down,

went back up, went back down multiple times,

at least a dozen times.

Occam's Razor would say

it's more simple to believe in one flood

than more than a dozen worldwide floods.

It was in the 1980s

that the secular geologists began to move to catastrophism

and move away from uniformitarianism

as soon as it suited their needs.

They went to catastrophism when it served their purposes

to help explain the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Noah's flood provides a better explanation

for the demise of the dinosaurs than the impact in Yucatan.

Simply because that event is so small, so localized,

there's no way it could have a physical effect

that would cause the dinosaurs to be buried

the way we find them.

And nobody in the secular world even claims that.

They say, "Well, it produced climate change

that caused the dinosaurs to starve to death."

If you go on Wikipedia today

and look up dinosaur extinction or Chicxulub crater,

an asteroid sunk and hit the Earth,

caused a global cooling because of all the dust in the air,

and the dinosaurs died out at that time.

We have simulations

where we've thrown the Chicxulub-size meter

right on the Earth using high-performance computing,

and then we get the subduction event,

and we get the breakup of the lithosphere,

and we start the earthquakes, we start the volcanoes.

Actually meteoric impacts could have initiated that event.

But it has no power to explain the burial

of these huge animals in the sediment record.

[introspective music]

[narrator] In the 1980s,

secular scientists began to theorize

that it was an asteroid that crashed into the Earth

and wiped out nearly all of life on its surface.

The theory posits that massive tsunamis

and volcanic dust-filled air

as a result of the impact

are what destroyed the dinosaurs and most other life

in a worldwide disaster.

Secular scientists could not escape the fact

that water and volcanism played a massive role

in how life was once wiped out on Earth.

But the Bible had already written

that the Earth had been catastrophically destroyed

through volcanism and water.

And they didn't want to validate the Bible,

so they came up

with their own catastrophic version of events,

i.e., the asteroid impact theory.

You see, the Bible's book of Genesis had already made clear

what happened in the past in detail,

describing volcanic activity

bursting open from the ocean floors,

chronicling when the volcanic activity began and ceased,

how long the rain poured,

how high the waters reached,

as well as giving the very reason

why God judged and destroyed the world

with the flood in the first place.

You are essentially given two choices today.

On the one hand,

you have a book written thousands of years ago

giving an amazingly detailed account of a worldwide flood

that wiped out virtually all life on Earth.

On the other hand, you have manmade theories.

In this case, one that was only first postulated

about 40 years ago

due to the inadequacy of their prior non-catastrophic models

that they know really didn't work.

Both views require a catastrophic event

with global implications,

but only one has the power to actually explain

the stratification of the Earth's surface

and the trillions of fossils,

along with cultures around the world citing a global flood

in their historical writings and legends,

while the other merely rearranges elements

from the true account to concoct its own story.

Think about it.

The Bible already said long ago

that the entire world's surface

was destroyed catastrophically.

They have no choice but to make that same claim.

The Bible said that the continents

were once together in the beginning.

It looks like they have to share that too.

Nearly all animal life on Earth

was wiped out during the destruction,

a fact that they also couldn't ignore.

Marine life was scattered across the world.

The Bible says the waters went above the highest mountains.

Secular scientists formulated their own theories

as to how to explain the marine fossils away.

The Earth's original environment was permanently destroyed.

The pre-flood paradise was gone.

In the secular model, they refer to this

as the prehistoric world going extinct.

And let's not forget

that the flood set the processes into motion

for much of the world to be frozen over.

Hot oceans produce evaporations and greater snowfall.

Volcanoes send volumes of aerosols into the atmosphere,

blocking the sun.

Greater snowfall with cooler summers

results in global ice sheets.

Evolutionists have called these results of the flood

the Ice Age.

One of these is constantly being proven true

as more and more evidence is discovered over time,

while the other was only invented

after the evidence was unearthed.

And further still, contained within the Bible,

is also the prediction that all of this would happen.

In the second book of Peter,

we are told that in the last days,

which is the time fast approaching,

unbelievers would be willingly ignorant of the flood,

meaning that secular men and women

would consciously choose to believe and create lies

that allow them to push the catastrophic event

into the distant past,

so long ago and so far away,

it ceases to be scientific history

and becomes scientific fantasy.

The irony can only be described as biblical.

The Bible makes it clear that the end times would be characterized

by increasing unbelief of the biblical account of history

and the flood event itself.

Sadly, the religion of evolution is one in which its priests

are constantly updating their outdated theories,

while in the Bible,

we are given the final, true, and unchanging account.

And as the evidence is unearthed over time,

the biblical account is always proven to be true.

[pensive music]

If you go to a museum today

and look at the dinosaur displays,

you'll notice that the animals

look strange and unusual with the dinosaurs.

Have you ever seen a boa constrictor at a museum display

wrapped around a T-Rex's leg?

No, but they have found boa constrictors with dinosaurs.

Have you ever seen a box turtle

at the feet of a stegosaurus?

No, but they found box turtles with dinosaurs.

Have you ever seen a T-Rex with a duck flying over him?

No, but ducks have been found with dinosaurs.

All seven groups of animals today

have been found with the dinosaurs,

and they look the same.

Museum displays don't show that.

So if they actually put the animals they found

with the dinosaurs,

people would look at those displays and say,

"Well, evolution hasn't occurred.

It's just the dinosaurs went extinct."

But scientists have withheld the modern animals

from their dinosaur displays

to promote the idea that evolution occurred.

You know, the soft tissue analysis

in dinosaurs that's been recent

has been a little bit of an enigma to those who believe

that the Earth and universe is really old.

Mary Schweitzer in the 1990s and the early 2000s

first found this, like, elastic material in arteries.

Elastic material means, you pull it and it reloads back to its original place.

Dinosaur soft tissue is a very recent finding.

They don't want it really getting out.

It's not in any of the textbooks.

This lady cracked open or cut open

one of the bones,

and you could smell the putrefaction.

Dinosaur bones shouldn't smell like they're dying

'cause they've been dead for millions of years, right?

Well, little bit later, Mark Armitage started looking

at the horn of the triceratops,

but he found bone materials, tissue and bone,

the osteocytes that actually you pull it and it had strains.

Strains are how much you deform something.

It had up to almost 100% strain.

Muscle tissue in the Santanaraptor fossil,

and it was like dinosaur beef jerky

on the leg bone of a dinosaur.

It was the actual muscle.

And this Thescelosaurus bone is the same thing.

We started looking inside of this bone,

and we found, using scanning electron microscopy,

that it had elastic material, it had tissue.

You pull it apart, and it goes back.

If this was mineralized

or it was a fossil that became a rock,

you couldn't do this.

So it was never mineralized, never petrified.

It was still elastic, meaning it was still the tissue.

That means this thing is not a hundred million years old.

The biblical account expects to find some of that stuff.

So like what was it? Bone marrow.

- Red blood cells. - Cartilage.

- Collagen. - The hemoglobin.

And muscle fiber proteins.

These things shouldn't be able to last

but a hundred thousand years tops,

but these things were a hundred million years old.

Okay, 68 million years old, but closer to a hundred million.

The amino acids in the protein strands

would unbuckle and fall apart into protein powder,

and there is no explanation to this day,

nothing that makes any decent scientific sense,

and it's just been left as an anomaly.

Neil deGrasse Tyson interviewed Mary Schweitzer and some others

and then turned the attention to the medullary layer.

They tried to distract the attention

away from the red blood cells.

The medullary layer was there,

showing that the T-Rex that this bone came from

was, at the time, carrying eggs.

That's really what we call a shell game,

a smoke and mirrors game,

a dog and pony show

meant to distract away from the elephant in the room,

which was there were proteins

in that T-Rex bone.

Now Mark Armitage, working University of California,

did find soft tissue inside of a triceratops horn,

and when he published that finding, they fired him.

[laughs] So they are willingly ignorant,

squelching the truth,

and this is actually not science.

This is propaganda.

Now we're talking about thought control and the mind police.

They wanted to fire him because they felt that this was a religious position

when really he had only brought forth a scientific discovery.

[narrator] In 1993, a film titled "Jurassic Park"

featured a rather famous scene

in which the remains of an ancient mosquito were preserved,

encased in a ball of hardened amber.

The film goes on to explain

that the way scientists could resurrect

the dinosaurs from the past

was by extracting blood

from the remains inside this mosquito,

in which dinosaur DNA could be fully sequenced

by combining what was missing

with that of a modern-day frog.

This idea came about because back in the '90s,

the writer Michael Crichton

was struggling to come up with a concept

to explain how dinosaurs

could somehow be brought back to life in a feasible way

in his book of the same title.

What the "Jurassic Park" creators couldn't have imagined

was the discovery of soft tissue inside of a dinosaur bone,

a finding that has since been replicated

by other scientists,

such as this stretching triceratops tissue

discovered by Mark Armitage.

These discoveries shocked

the entire paleontological community

and would likely have rewritten

the original "Jurassic Park" film

had they known this was possible at the time.

In fact, scientists have run into major challenges

when attempting to publish these findings

because of the wholesale rejection

that dinosaur soft tissue could even still exist.

The consensus at the time agreed

that it was completely impossible

because everyone held to the widespread belief

that the bones were millions of years old,

which would require that all of their biomaterial

had long since fossilized.

There was simply no way

that these dinosaur bones contained biomaterial

like blood vessels and proteins such as collagen.

In fact, of these 16 types of bio-organic materials

that have since been discovered inside dinosaur bones,

collagen by itself ends the debate

on these bones being millions of years old,

as the maximum age of collagen

is as low as 10,000 years by some estimates

and as high as 900,000 years by others,

with 100,000 years

being the generally agreed upon maximum age.

To put this into perspective,

if each of these tiny bars

represents a period of 100,000 years,

then only one of these bars

represents the maximum age collagen could survive over time.

If we zoom out to the time span of a hundred million years,

then we can see that the lifespan of collagen

is 1,000 times shorter

than the general age evolutionists claim dinosaur bones are.

Or another way to say it is

that collagen doesn't even last. 001%

as long as it would have to

in order for evolution theory to work,

proving that it's not even remotely

within the realm of possibility

that collagen could survive for so long.

The relatively short shelf life of collagen

proves what the Bible has been saying

about these bones all along,

that they're roughly 4,400 years old

and were buried all over the world

around the time of Noah's flood.

[dramatic music]

[narrator] As the floodwaters began to recede,

the Earth was in a state of chaos.

Dinosaur graveyards like these

would later be found all over the Earth,

and secular paleontologists agree

that these worldwide sites share one thing in common.

The state the bones are found in

all show evidence of flood burial.

And now you understand exactly where the water came from,

water that would eventually dry up

because it didn't belong there in the first place.

The whole Earth would undergo a massive reset

as vegetation would slowly grow back

and water would find its final resting places.

Sadly, the Earth that was once

a perfect habitat for dinosaurs

was now irrevocably ruined,

and those dinosaurs that were able to survive

would be hunted to extinction over time.

We know them as dinosaurs,

but legend would remember them as dragons.

And so it was

that on the 17th day of the 7th month,

"the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat."

It was a little over a year after the flood began

that Noah, his family, and all onboard the ark

would finally step onto dry land again.

This group of eight people would repopulate the Earth,

just as legends around the world cite

in their historical literature.

And science would later prove

that this genetic bottleneck really did occur,

exactly as the Bible had told us all along.

In terms of looking at the way ideas progress,

we know that history can become more mythical.

Myth, as a core idea, cannot become more historical.

It doesn't go the other way.

History can become more historical.

Myth becomes more mythical.

And if you start with myth, you end up with myth.

You can never go the other way.

So we can see, as a genre, how different they are.

There's been about 200 flood traditions

discovered by anthropologists and missionaries and others,

and many of these flood traditions come from people groups

that don't even live near the ocean.

There are hundreds of flood legends from around the world,

but in many of these cases, you have huge similarities to the biblical account.

You have one righteous family that is saved,

and the reason for the flood is because God was angry.

The gods were angry at something that humanity had done.

They all talk about man and animals surviving

on some kind of a boat.

There are lots of similarities,

but the true account is in Genesis.

Some of the evidence of that

is just in the description of the ark.

The Babylonian Gilgamesh Epic

has a cube for the ark.

Well, that would just roll in the water,

and everything would die.

The biblical account has a flood

that its duration is 371 days.

But when we come to the Gilgamesh Epic,

it's merely six days.

It only took one week to build this huge ark,

where it took Noah probably 55 years

or something in that range to construct his ark.

The biblical account is the true account,

and these other stories are the result

of people migrating from the Tower of Babel after the flood

and preserving in their memory

an echo of the true account that is recorded in Genesis.

And the farther they moved away from the Middle East

and any contact with the true account,

the more the story got corrupted over time.

And so that explains the differences

as well as the similarities.

The biblical account, by all measure,

stands independent from the others.

So they certainly had a common core in history.

There was an event that happened.

We've actually recorded about 23 different accounts

that are very similar to Babel, where people were trying to build this tower,

and the gods were angry or God was angry

and forced them to scatter by confusing their language.

And then from Genesis 12 onward,

we don't see similarities anymore.

There's no Abraham legend.

There's no Isaac legend or David legend

or anything like that.

But Genesis 1 through 11,

people all around the globe seem to know about. Why?

Well, because what the Bible's telling us is true,

and up until Genesis 11 at the Babel event,

mankind had a shared history.

And then they took that history with them, and they passed it along,

and it gets distorted as the years go by.

After the flood, God blesses Noah and his sons,

tells him to be fruitful and multiply, fill the Earth,

the same sort of thing that he told Adam and Eve.

So, in a sense, man gets to start over.

And yet what do we see just a few generations later?

The people refuse to scatter.

They said "No, we're gonna stay right here

in the Mesopotamian Valley,"

and they began to build a tower.

They had a one-world government.

Genesis 11 tells us that God stopped that building project

by supernaturally creating different languages

to force the people to move apart,

according to their families, into different nations.

People then who were biologically, genetically very close

began to marry within their language group.

And from what we know of genetics,

that would bring out recessive genes to become dominant

and physical characteristics associated with that.

But the Bible is very clear.

There's only one race, Adam's race.

Paul says that God made from one man or one blood

"all the nations to dwell upon the face of the Earth."

So there's absolutely no basis

for saying that one group of people

with a certain shade of brown skin

are superior or inferior to some other people

who have a different shade of brown skin.

We have no basis to hate people that look different from us

because, in reality, everybody looks different from me.

So if I were gonna hate people that look different from me,

I'd have to hate everybody.

So we should be loving and accepting

because we're all descended

from the same couple, Adam and Eve.

Now the interesting thing is that most evidence shows

that humanity started in the Middle East,

which we'd expect if the Tower of Babel was true.

All these languages seem to have diverged

from about that region.

[ethereal music]

[narrator] As what was now left of the ark

rested in the mountains of Ararat,

God made a covenant with Noah,

promising him and all of his posterity

that He would never again destroy the Earth

and all life on it with a flood.

Then God blessed Noah and his sons

and commanded them to once again multiply

and spread out upon the Earth.

But on the plains of Shinar, men disobeyed God's command,

and instead they came together to build a city

and a great tower they intended to reach to the heavens

in an ultimate act of rebellion

and rejection of God.

[ominous music]

But God came down

and put a stop to their tower

by dividing their once unified language

into many languages.

And out of confusion and fear,

they stopped building the tower

and dispersed into what would become

the nations of the world.

[pensive music]

It was within a few centuries

after Noah and his family departed from the ark

that the people of the world were of one language,

but today, there are over 7,000 languages in the world

which trace back to an ancestral family group

that each belongs to.

For example, Italian can be traced back to Latin,

its root language family.

However, when linguists attempted

to trace the root language families further upstream,

they encountered a serious problem.

The language families would eventually lead to dead ends,

otherwise known as language isolates.

This directly contradicts the merged root language

that evolutionists were expecting to find

or what some linguists theoretically call

the elusive proto-world language.

Instead, what they find are a bunch of languages

that seemed to have emerged out of nowhere,

unless, of course, you factor in the events that took place

at the Tower of Babel,

which provides an incredible explanation

evolutionists refuse to accept.

Further still, consider

that when you trace known languages on a map,

something very telling occurs.

Many of the earliest languages trace back

to one location on Earth,

a place commonly referred to as the cradle of civilization,

Mesopotamia.

And what's also revealing

is that the timeframe of many languages

also trace back to that approximate point in time,

which is just after the flood and Tower of Babel

in the third millennium BC.

Furthermore, linguists believe

that approximately 94 proto-language families

should exist in theory,

and they also believe that this number may lower over time

as more research leads to more mergers.

By no coincidence, there are approximately 70 people groups

in the biblical table of nations

recorded in the Bible around the time of the Babel event.

What are the odds that the estimated root language families

so closely reflect the same number of the nations

the Bible lists at the time of the Tower of Babel?

And what's more is that these people groups

also have myths and legends within their cultures

of both an ancient flood that destroyed the world

and a time when their ancestors attempted to build a tower.

These stories, of course, vary,

but the core elements tend to remain intact,

with the Cherokee and other Native American tribes

even including that their language was once changed

much earlier in history,

as only one example of hundreds.

In like fashion, human genetics also reveal

a similar pattern to the languages,

as the genes extracted from over 100 human remains

from the so-called Bronze Age era revealed

that the further back in time you go,

the less genetic mixing there was,

with their data showing relatively unmixed genetic lineages

around the time of Babel,

which, of course, is no coincidence.

Only God's supernatural intervention can explain

the multifaceted bottleneck we see

across so many fields of science.

It was at this event that God changed

the entire course of human history once again.

It was also after Babel

that God instituted human government.

And at a time when nationalism is being attacked

by those wishing to establish a one-world government,

it is important to remember

that it was God who divided the world into nations.

It was God who was against the man-centered godless society

mankind was beginning to fashion.

And as any historian will tell you,

history has a way of repeating itself.

When we come to the story of Noah's Ark,

it's more than just a story.

It certainly is a part of vital history.

There was an ancient world,

and that ancient world, because of corruption,

was destroyed by a flood.

And that was the judgment that was on mankind.

Since man is not changed,

there is yet a future judgment coming.

It'll be just as it was in the days of Noah.

They'll be giving and taking in marriage.

They were having families. They were doing their work.

They were just living life as normal.

They didn't believe the judgment was coming.

The flood did come, and people were not ready.

Before the flood, people were eating and drinking

and married and given in marriage,

with a total disregard to the building of the ark,

to what was being preached to them, to all the things around them.

And Jesus says just before He returns,

people will be in rebellion, ignoring God,

just going on living their life as if God doesn't exist.

They will be surprised when Jesus comes and brings judgment.

There was a judgment that happened,

and there's a judgment that is coming,

and we need to be prepared.

The Bible does talk about

the last days, the end times.

Biblical evil, if you look

at all of the different Old Testament accounts,

would be idolatry, witchcraft,

the occultism, demon worship, and things like that

and the perversions that go along with these things.

Public schools now

are teaching against the idea of marriage.

They want to corrupt the minds of innocent hearts

long before they've even thought about sex,

at the earliest possible age. Not just sexualized,

but sexualized in terms of all possible forms of deviation.

Of course, we have the plague of abortion,

the sins of Moloch,

the burning of children,

the plague of sex trafficking,

and the exploitation of the vulnerable.

These things are the evils and the darknesses of our age,

and they're become more prevalent

and even massively institutionalized.

It's a very good sign.

Not a good sign, but an accurate sign

that we're in the same kind of darkness

that was in the days of Noah.

And you see that we are in that darkness now.

When's the Lord coming back?

The Bible says that nobody knows,

but when it comes, everyone's gonna know all at once,

like lightning across the sky.

And I tell you, I want to be on the right side.

Who doesn't like being on the winning team at the end?

I know in this case, it's especially vital

in the eternity sense.

Eternity is a timeless thing.

We don't understand infinity,

but we do know it's permanent.

The second coming is a wonderful, wonderful image,

but it's also a time of judgment.

It's also a time of finality.

It's also a time of justice.

Just as the flood came suddenly,

so the second coming of Christ will be sudden.

Just as the flood was certain,

so the second coming of Christ is certain

and will actually happen.

That judgment of the flood is a warning

of the judgment to come.

[suspenseful music]

[narrator] Jesus Christ is the most written of

and influential person in all of world history.

But what has made so many throughout the millennia

believe that He is who He says He was,

God in human flesh,

the Savior of mankind,

the Messiah who was prophesied of in the Bible?

You see, the Bible is the only book on Earth

that has repeatedly proved its inspiration of God

by virtue of telling us the future in advance.

For example, around 626 BC,

Jeremiah the prophet predicted Israel would be conquered,

Jerusalem and the temple would be destroyed,

and the Babylonians would rule over God's people,

taking them captive into exile for 70 years.

And shortly after his prophecy was written,

that's exactly what happened around 587 BC.

Then there's Isaiah

who wrote that Babylon's gates would open for Cyrus,

a king who wouldn't be born for over 150 years.

And in 539 BC,

the formidable city's gates were indeed opened

to a king named Cyrus and his army.

And, as foretold, Babylon was destroyed,

which both Jeremiah and Isaiah prophesied would happen.

And then there's the famous prophecy of Daniel

in which he predicted the appearance of the Messiah,

claiming that He would come

483 years after a decree would be made to rebuild Jerusalem,

which is exactly the time in which Jesus appeared.

And when it comes to Jesus fulfilling prophecies,

there are hundreds concerning Him alone.

Scripture said that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem,

that the Christ would live in Galilee.

He would teach parables, be rejected by the rulers,

be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver.

And it was even prophesied that He would be crucified,

not stoned to death,

at a time when crucifixion hadn't even yet been invented.

Furthermore, there are other prophecies much like Daniel's

that also tell us the timeline of the Messiah.

His birth had to happen

before the scepter of Judah departed,

while the temple was still standing,

but before it would be destroyed.

And very notably, He had to come

while genealogical records still existed

to prove His lineage was of the line of David.

Those records perished

when the temple was destroyed in 70 AD.

Strikingly, Jesus Christ walked the Earth

during exactly the critical period

when a multitude of prophecies about the Messiah converged.

You see, Jesus warned us that in the last days,

the time we are now on the threshold of,

there would come a false messiah

who would deceive many into believing

that he is the one prophesied about.

Scripture refers to this false messiah as the antichrist.

The Bible says

that during this short period of time soon to come,

the antichrist and his system of governance

will rise to power.

Much like what happened at the Tower of Babel,

this singular entity will rule

with nationalism in many places being abolished

as their sovereignty will collapse

into a single system of total control.

"Many who don't think and believe,"

as the antichrist declares,

"will not be able to buy or sell.

Many will be put to death."

Today, a mass global awakening is transpiring

where individuals irrespective of politics

discern the burgeoning antichrist-like infrastructure

that is developing all around them,

with many recognizing that the plagues, famines, wars,

hyperinflation, lawlessness,

and acts of nature prophesied of in the Bible

are appearing to be orchestrated by design,

a deliberate transition,

as we are on the cusp of a satanic rise of power,

a time the Bible calls

the Great Tribulation.

It's a time in which God will focus His attention

back on Israel,

specifically as Israel is at the center

of many of the biblical prophecies

which have yet to be fulfilled.

Even now, we can already see

one such prophecy found in Zechariah

in which God said that in the last days,

He would make Israel a nation of distress

to all the nations surrounding it.

Incredible insight when considering

that such a small spot on Earth will be at the center

of a coming global war.

And as the climactic end to God's prophetic plans draw near,

the Lord's return and Israel's redemption lie ahead.

Out of profound love,

God postponed His Son's return for earthly judgment.

You see, mankind are all guilty

of committing terrible sins before a holy God.

If each person were to give

an individual account unto God on their own merit,

they would certainly face a terrible judgment.

But here's the good news.

God's masterful plan, as unveiled in Corinthians,

reveals that while humanity

collectively inherited condemnation

through one man's disobedience, Adam,

they can now find forgiveness and salvation

through the obedience of one man, Jesus Christ.

If one man can bring death to all through his sin,

then it follows that a sinless man can bring life to all

through His obedience.

Thankfully, God in His wisdom and mercy

has given us a simple and easy way

to be justified in His sight,

and that is through His Son,

Jesus Christ.

[ethereal music]

The Bible tells us that God created a perfect world.

Adam sinned,

and because of Adam's sin,

we are all born sinners,

but we also choose to sin.

We choose to rebel against God.

Every one of us has broken the Ten Commandments

in thought or word or deed,

through the evil that we have done

or the good that we have failed to do,

through ignorance, through weakness,

or through our own deliberate fault.

We're all guilty before God.

We all deserve His judgment.

And the Bible says in Romans

that the wages of sin or the penalty of sin is death.

And so God sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ,

to die on the cross

to take the wrath of God for us, pay the penalty for sin,

and then He rose from the dead,

proving that He had paid that penalty,

that He had conquered death,

and that He could give us eternal life.

We need to respond to what Jesus has done, every one of us.

No one can respond for us.

We must each personally acknowledge to God

that we have sinned against Him,

that we deserve His judgment,

and then put our trust in Jesus Christ

as our Savior and our Lord.

And when we do that, we're forgiven.

We're restored to a right relationship with God,

to a personal relationship with God,

and we're given the gift of eternal life.

We've heard that the Ark of Noah

was an ark constructed for the salvation of mankind.

It had one door in it, and that was a single entrance.

That was done by design.

God also only has one way of salvation.

That way of salvation in the ark

was to preserve them through God's judgment,

which was the flood.

And someone had to trust in God

and accept Him and come His way,

which was that one way into the ark,

in order to be saved.

The real problem for us is not the one way to God.

It's God. It's that we're wanting to come

to someone who now tells us what we need.

We need His salvation.

Tells us we're sinners, which we don't want to hear.

Tells us we need to depend upon Him.

And I think ultimately, all of us deep down realize

we are not what we should be,

that there is a God who made all these things.

We certainly didn't do it.

All the creation, all the irreducible complexities,

all the things that exist

simply argue there is a creator.

If that's the case, then we're creatures.

And what better place for the creature

than in a relationship with the creator?

The creator made that possible by Himself

going through all the things that we go through,

but ultimately dying in our place

because that's what our sin deserved.

Jesus Himself said, in John 14:6, He said,

"I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life,

and no one comes to the Father except through Me."

So if we come to the one who is God in the flesh,

the one who came to provide redemption for us

and we trust Him and take Him at His word,

He says, "I will save you.

That's the way to God, and I'm the way.

Come to me and you have all that was promised in the Bible,

eternal life, a relationship with God."

And everything that beyond what we can even imagine

in this life,

there's a whole life yet to come

that God has promised to those who love Him.

[stirring music]

[narrator] 2,000 years ago,

God the Father sent His Son to the world

to usher in a new era

of righteousness and peace.

But they rejected the true Messiah.

They hated the very one

whom the Bible says

created love,

joy,

beauty,

and life itself.

They took and crucified Him

in the very place He was to establish His glorious kingdom.

But God the Father

raised Him from the dead

and made His sacrifice

the salvation for many.

For Jesus Christ

is the light of the world,

and in Him

is no darkness.
