00:14 >>I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE GOOD REASONS IN GEOLOGY, BIOLOGY, 00:19 ARCHAEOLOGY, PALEONTOLOGY THAT ALL SUPPORT CREATION. 00:28 >>I'M GOING TO BE TALKING WITH YOU ABOUT THE SUBJECT OF 00:31 CREATION, EVOLUTION, AND LOGIC . AND THE REASON FOR THAT TITLE IS 00:38 BECAUSE YOU CAN'T BE SECURE IN LIFE IF YOU DON'T KNOW SOMETHING 00:43 ABOUT THREE THINGS: WHERE YOU'VE COME FROM, WHAT YOU'RE DOING 00:48 HERE, AND WHERE YOU'RE GOING. THESE ARE FOUNDATIONAL TRUTHS. 00:55 AND SO, UNDERSTANDING THIS SUBJECT MEANS EVERYTHING. 00:58 AND WHAT CONCERNS ME IS I'M COMING FROM THE OUTSIDE INTO 01:03 CHRISTIANITY - I GREW UP BELIEVING THERE WAS NO GOD, 01:07 BEING TAUGHT AND VERY SECURE IN BELIEVING EVOLUTION, BEING AN 01:12 ATHEIST, IF NOT AT LEAST, AN AGNOSTIC AND I PROBABLY WENT 01:15 BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE TWO, TO A POSITION WHERE NOW I 01:19 BELIEVE FIRMLY IN DIVINE CREATION - 01:23 >>AMEN. >>IN A RECENT CREATION - I'LL 01:26 GIVE YOU REASONS FOR THAT - AND IT CHANGED MY LIFE. 01:29 IT GAVE PURPOSE TO MY LIFE. SO WE NEED A STARTING POINT 01:33 - AND ISAIAH 1:18 - THE LORD INVITES US TO USE OUR HEADS, 01:38 "'COME NOW, LET US REASON TOGETHER,' SAYS THE LORD." 01:42 I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE GOOD REASONS IN GEOLOGY, BIOLOGY, 01:46 ARCHAEOLOGY, PALEONTOLOGY THAT ALL SUPPORT CREATION. 01:52 >>AMEN. >>AND I'D LIKE TO LOOK AT SOME 01:53 OF THESE THINGS WITH YOU. I BELIEVE IN INTELLIGENT DESIGN. 02:00 INTELLIGENT DESIGN SAYS THAT WHEREVER YOU SEE SOME 02:04 SOPHISTICATED DESIGN, THERE MUST BE AN INTELLIGENCE BEHIND IT. 02:10 KEEP IN MIND, BACK IN THE DAYS WHEN EVOLUTION WAS BORN, WE HAD 02:15 VERY HUMBLE SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS. 02:19 WE DIDN'T HAVE THE LABORATORIES WE HAVE TODAY. 02:21 MICROSCOPES - WHEN THEY WOULD LOOK AT A CELL THEY SAW WHAT WE 02:23 WOULD CALL A SINGLE CELL. THEY COULD NOT TAKE THE 02:26 HYPER-POWERFUL SUPER ELECTRON MICROSCOPES THAT WE HAVE NOW 02:30 AND LOOK AT A CELL AND SEE ALL THE INCREDIBLE COMPLEXITY 02:34 IN THAT CELL. WHERE ONCE WE SAW WHAT YOU SEE 02:37 WHEN YOU LOOK AT AN EGG - YOU SEE A SHELL - THE CELL WALL - 02:40 AND YOU SEE THE CONTENTS INSIDE - THE WHITE - AND THEN YOU SEE 02:44 THE YOLK - THE NUCLEUS - AND THAT'S WHAT THEY SAW WHEN THEY 02:47 USED TO LOOK AT EGGS - AT CELLS - JUST VERY SIMPLE THINGS. 02:51 NOW WE KNOW, WITH OUR MICROSCOPES, THERE ARE WORLDS - 02:57 THERE ARE CITIES THAT ARE MOVING AND SWIMMING INSIDE A SINGLE 03:01 CELL. THERE ARE MACHINES, THERE ARE 03:03 TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS, THERE ARE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS, 03:06 THERE ARE CHEMICAL SYSTEMS - ALL WITHIN ONE CELL OF LIFE. 03:10 WE KNOW THAT THE DNA - THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM THAT IT HAS 03:13 INSIDE A SINGLE CELL THAT TRIGGERS WHEN IT SHOULD SPLIT 03:16 AND REPRODUCE ITSELF IS EXTREMELY SOPHISTICATED. 03:21 ONE SCIENTIST PUT IT THIS WAY: PICTURE NEW YORK CITY AT RUSH 03:25 HOUR - I'M SERIOUS - THINK ABOUT NEW YORK CITY AT RUSH HOUR. 03:29 I'VE BEEN THERE. I GREW UP THERE. 03:32 YOU'VE GOT MORE HAPPENING UNDER NEW YORK CITY AT RUSH HOUR THAN 03:35 YOU HAVE HAPPENING IN ALL OF SACRAMENTO DURING THE DAY. 03:39 I MEAN, IT'S VERY BUSY. 03:41 YOU'VE GOT NOT ONLY THE SUBWAYS GOING, YOU'VE GOT THE PLUMBING 03:44 THAT GOES UNDERNEATH THE CITY AND YOU'VE GOT THE FRESH SYSTEMS 03:47 AND THE SEWAGE SYSTEMS, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND THE - THE 03:50 FIBER OPTICS - AND ALL OF THAT'S JUST GOING ON UNDERGROUND AND 03:54 THEN LOOK AT ALL THAT'S GOING ON ABOVE GROUND, WITH ELEVATORS 03:56 GOING UP AND DOWN AND TRAFFIC GOING HORIZONTALLY AND THE 03:59 LIGHTS AND THE PEOPLE AND THE SWARMS AND - ONE - A SCIENTIST 04:04 SAID ONE SINGLE CELL OF LIFE HAS MORE HAPPENING INSIDE THAN NEW 04:10 YORK CITY AT RUSH HOUR. NOW WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT 04:14 LIGHTNING COULD STRIKE A PUDDLE FOUR BILLION YEARS AGO - PICK 04:18 YOUR DATE, IT DOESN'T MATTER - AND PRODUCE SPONTANEOUS 04:21 CELLS OF LIFE? IF IT IS THAT SIMPLE, WHY 04:25 CAN'T WE REPRODUCE THAT SCIENTIFICALLY? 04:27 WHY WOULD WE TEACH, AS FACT, SOMETHING WE CANNOT DEMONSTRATE 04:31 SCIENTIFICALLY? ISN'T THAT UNSCIENTIFIC? 04:36 IF WE SAY, 'OH THIS HAPPENED. THIS WE KNOW.' ALRIGHT, SHOW ME. 04:40 FOR EXAMPLE, THIS WAS BACK DURING THE TIME OF LOUIS 04:42 PASTEUR, THEY WOULD TAKE A LUMP OF MEAT AND THEY - OR A CARCASS 04:48 - AND THEY WOULD SET IT DOWN SOMEWHERE AND IN A FEW DAYS THEY 04:51 WOULD SEE WORMS AND THINGS SPRINGING OUT OF THE CARCASS AND 04:54 THEY SAID, 'SEE, WE WATCH LIFE FORM ALL THE TIME. 04:57 SEE HOW THESE WORMS CAME OUT OF THAT CARCASS FROM NOWHERE? 05:00 NEW LIFE IS CONSTANTLY FORMING.' AND PASTEUR LOOKED AT THAT AND 05:04 HE SAID, 'NO, YOU'RE NOT NOTICING THE FLIES THAT ARE 05:07 LANDING ON IT LAYING EGGS. 05:09 HE THEN TOOK THE SAME MEAT OR SOMETHING AND HE PUT IT IN A 05:13 VACUUM ENVIRONMENT AND THERE WAS NOTHING. 05:17 AND THEY REALIZED THAT HERE'S A LAW: ALL LIFE IN THE WORLD 05:22 COMES FROM LIFE. WE CANNOT FIND A SINGLE EXAMPLE 05:25 ANYWHERE IN THE OBSERVABLE WORLD WHERE LIFE COMES FROM NON-LIFE. 05:31 WE ARE UNABLE, WITH ALL OF OUR SOPHISTICATED LABORATORIES AND 05:34 EQUIPMENT, TO PRODUCE LIFE FROM NON-LIFE. 05:38 THEY SAY IT HAPPENED ALL OVER THE WORLD SPONTANEOUSLY, WITHOUT 05:41 ANY INTELLIGENCE, BUT IT TAKES INTELLIGENCE TO HAVE 05:47 INTER-WORKING SYSTEMS AND ORGANIZATION AND LIFE. 05:52 THEN YOU HAVE - NATURE IS FULL OF WHAT YOU WOULD CALL SYMBIOTIC 05:56 RELATIONSHIPS WHERE DIFFERENT PLANTS AND ANIMALS AND CREATURES 06:02 CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT THE HELP OF COEXISTING, IN SOME WAY, 06:08 WITH OTHERS. THEY DEPEND ON EACH OTHER. 06:10 THERE ARE PLANTS THAT - AND TREES - THAT JUST WILL NOT 06:13 SURVIVE AND POLLINATE, WITHOUT BEES. 06:16 THERE ARE PLANTS THAT CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT - AND THERE'S A 06:20 CERTAIN FLOWER THAT CANNOT POLLINATE WITHOUT ONE PARTICULAR 06:23 MOTH THAT'S GOT A VERY LONG PROBOSCIS THAT IT USES AND GETS 06:27 DOWN AND IT GOES JUST TO THOSE FLOWERS. 06:29 JUST THAT FLOWER NEEDS JUST THAT MOTH IN ORDER TO SURVIVE AND 06:34 THERE'S NO SCENARIO THAT YOU CAN CREATE, THROUGH HISTORY, THAT 06:37 WOULD CREATE AN EXAMPLE FOR WHY THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY. 06:42 YOU'VE GOT THE - THERE ARE BIRDS AND ANIMALS THAT COEXIST AND 06:45 THEY PROTECT AND WATCH OUT FOR EACH OTHER. 06:47 YOU GO IN THE OCEAN AND YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING FROM THE SEA 06:50 ANEMONE THAT LIVES WITH THE CLOWN FISH AND IT STINGS 06:54 EVERYTHING BUT THE CLOWN FISH AND THE CLOWN FISH PROTECTS AND 06:56 CLEANS THE ANEMONE AND THEY JUST ALWAYS SEEM TO HAVE HAD THIS 07:00 RELATIONSHIP. LITTLE BIRDS THAT RIDE ON THE 07:02 BACKS OF THE RHINOS AND PICK OFF THEIR TICKS. 07:05 AND I - I MEAN, I CAN JUST GO THROUGH A - YOU'VE GOT, IN YOUR 07:07 BELLY - I HATE TO TELL YOU THIS, BUT YOU'VE GOT BACTERIA. 07:11 BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THEY'RE FRIENDLY BACTERIA - LET'S HOPE 07:14 THEY ARE - AND YOU NEED THEM TO HELP YOU DIGEST FOOD. 07:18 AND IF YOU TAKE AN ANTIBIOTIC AND IT KILLS ALL THE FRIENDLY 07:21 BACTERIA, THEN YOU'VE GOT TO EAT SOMETHING LIKE YOGURT, WHICH 07:23 SHOULDN'T BE EATEN BY ANYBODY BECAUSE IT'S CALLED 'YOGURT' AND 07:27 THAT'S SUPPOSED TO HELP GIVE YOU FRIENDLY BACTERIA AGAIN AND 07:31 THERE IS SO MUCH COMPLEXITY AND INTER-WORKING SYSTEMS IN LIFE, 07:37 THAT TO SAY THIS ALL HAPPENS SPONTANEOUSLY - IT DOESN'T 07:40 MATTER IF YOU GIVE IT MILLIONS OR BILLIONS OF YEARS, IT BECOMES 07:43 LUDICROUS. THEN YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING 07:46 CALLED THE LAW OF ENTROPY. THIS IS THE SECOND LAW OF 07:49 THERMODYNAMICS AND, BASICALLY, IT SAYS THAT NATURE TENDS FROM 07:54 ORDER TO DISORDER IN ISOLATED SYSTEMS. IT'S A LAW OF LIFE. 07:59 LET'S SUPPOSE THAT YOU'VE GOT A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN AND IT'S - 08:03 YOU'VE GOT ALL THE ROWS ARE CAREFULLY WEEDED AND EVERYTHING 08:07 IS IN ORDER AND YOU'VE GOT THINGS STACKED. 08:09 YOU'VE GOT YOUR CORN, YOUR, TOMATOES, YOUR MELONS, OR YOUR 08:12 ZUCCHINI AND IT'S ALL GROWING AND IT'S NICE. 08:14 YOU'VE GOT SOME FLOWERS JUST FOR GOOD LOOKS AND - BUT YOU DIE AND 08:18 YOU DON'T TEND THE GARDEN, YOU DON'T WATER THE GARDEN - 08:20 WHAT HAPPENS TO THE GARDEN? IT'LL ALL BREAK DOWN TO THE 08:24 COMMON DENOMINATOR OF CHAOS. YOU'VE GOT A BEAUTIFULLY BUILT 08:28 HOUSE WITH A MANICURED YARD AND THE OWNER DIES AND NO ONE 08:31 TAKES CARE OF THE HOUSE. WHAT HAPPENS? 08:33 ROOF FALLS IN - IT WILL TURN BACK, GIVEN ENOUGH TIME, TO THE 08:36 ELEMENTS OF THE EARTH. IT JUST REDUCES TO CHAOS AGAIN. 08:41 AND SO, IN LIFE, WHERE YOU SEE ORDER AND DESIGN AND STRUCTURE, 08:48 THERE HAS TO BE AN OUTSIDE INTELLIGENCE AND POWER THAT IS 08:52 INTRODUCING THAT ORDER AND DESIGN OR IT JUST DEFIES THE LAW 08:57 - THE SECOND LAW - OF THERMODYNAMICS. 09:00 THEN YOU'VE GOT A FLOOD OF EVIDENCE THAT WE'RE SURROUNDED 09:03 WITH AROUND THE WORLD. THE FOSSIL RECORD, AROUND THE 09:07 WORLD, SAYS THAT THERE WAS A GREAT FLOOD. 09:12 THE THEORY WAS WHAT CAUSED THIS MASS SUDDEN EXTERMINATION OF 09:16 THE DINOSAURS? THEY SAID, WELL, A VIRUS SOMEHOW DEVELOPED. 09:20 BECAUSE IT HAPPENS - YOU KNOW, WE DON'T KNOW WHERE AIDS COMES 09:22 FROM - SOME VIRUS DEVELOPED AND JUST WIPED THEM ALL OUT. 09:25 THEN - THAT DIDN'T SATISFY THEM - THEY SAID, 'NO, THERE WAS A 09:29 SHORTAGE OF FOOD. THERE WAS A FAMINE. 09:31 THEY ALL STARVED OFF.' AND THEN THEY SAID THE BIRTH OF SOME OF 09:34 THE PRIMITIVE MAMMAL RODENTS BEGAN TO EAT ALL OF THEIR EGGS 09:39 AND IT KILLED THEM ALL OFF. AND THEY HAD ALL THESE THEORIES, 09:41 BUT THE PROBLEM WAS, THE EVIDENCE - THE FOSSILS OF 09:45 THE DINOSAURS ARE IN COPIOUS GRAVEYARDS WHERE THEY ARE 09:50 COVERED WITH SILT, WHICH WAS ONCE MUD. THEY DIED IN A 09:55 CATACLYSM OF WATER. SO FINALLY, AFTER ONE EXCAVATION 10:03 AFTER ANOTHER ALL OVER THE WORLD, THE EVIDENCE COULD NOT BE 10:06 DENIED, THERE WAS SOME GLOBAL CATASTROPHE OF A FLOOD. 10:09 SO THEY SAID - THEY DIDN'T WANT TO SAY THERE WAS A GLOBAL FLOOD 10:13 SO THEY SAY AN ASTEROID STRUCK THE EARTH AND CAUSED A TSUNAMI, 10:18 WHICH CAUSED A FLOOD, WHICH - HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD THAT 10:22 NOW? THAT'S THE GOING THEORY NOW. 10:24 WELL, ISN'T THAT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS? 10:25 NOT AN ASTEROID, BUT THERE WAS A FLOOD. 10:29 >>DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS, WE'LL BE BACK IN 10:31 JUST A MOMENT WITH THE REST OF TODAY'S PRESENTATION. 10:34 >> WHERE DO WE REALLY COME FROM? 10:36 ARE YOU THE BY-PRODUCT OF RANDOM CHANCE, 10:38 OR ARE YOU A UNIQUE CREATION WITH A SPECIAL PURPOSE? 10:42 TODAY, MANY WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE THAT WE'RE NOTHING MORE 10:45 THAN OFFSPRING OF SOME PRIMEVAL OOUZE, 10:49 BUT THE BIBLE AND SCIENCE SAY SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT. 10:53 BUT HOW CAN YOU KNOW FOR SURE WHETHER EVOLUTION 10:56 OR GENESIS ARE TRUE? 10:58 WHAT DOES THE FOSSIL RECORD REALLY SAY? 11:00 WHAT ABOUT NOAH'S FLOOD? 11:02 TO SHED MORE LIGHT ON THIS AND ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS, 11:04 AMAZING FACTS WANTS TO SEND YOU A SPECIAL FREE RESOURCE, 11:07 AND IT'S CALLED, "HOW EVOLUTION FLUNKED THE SCIENCE TEST". 11:12 THIS BRIEF BOOK PUTS THE PROPAGANDA OF EVOLUTION 11:14 ON THE DEFENSIVE BY EXPOSING THE SHOCKING LOOPHOLES 11:17 IN THEIR THEORY. 11:19 THIS POWERFUL TOOL WILL HELP YOU TO HARMONIZE SCIENCE 11:21 AND FAITH SO THAT YOU CAN BOLDLY STAND ON THE WORD OF GOD. 11:25 TO GET YOUR FREE COPY, CALL THE PHONE NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN 11:28 AND ASK FOR OFFER NUMBER 169, OR VISIT THE WEB ADDRESS. 11:33 AND AFTER YOU READ THIS INCREDIBLE RESOURCE, 11:35 BE SURE AND SHARE IT WITH A FRIEND. 11:37 LET'S RETURN NOW TO TODAY'S PRESENTATION AND LEARN SOME MORE 11:40 AMAZING FACTS FROM THE WORD OF GOD. 11:44 >>BUT THEY SAY AN ASTEROID HIT THE WORLD AND IT CAUSED THE 11:47 FLOOD AND IT WIPED 'EM ALL OUT 'CAUSE THEY'RE ALL COVERED WITH 11:49 SILT IN THESE MASS GRAVEYARDS. 11:53 DO YOU KNOW IF YOU GO UP ON A MOUNT EVEREST EXPEDITION, 11:57 AT 20,000 FEET YOU'RE GONNA FIND GIANT CLAMS? 12:01 THAT IS A LONG WAY FROM THE OCEAN, WAY UP. 12:05 AND ALL OVER THE WORLD, WE SEE EVIDENCE THAT THINGS WERE 12:09 RADICALLY CHANGED AND SOMETHING CATACLYSMIC HAPPENED TO OUR 12:13 WORLD THAT WAS WORSE THAN AN 12:16 ASTEROID, IT WAS THE FLOOD OF NOAH. 12:18 IT SAYS THE HEAVENS SPLIT, WATER CAME OUT OF THE EARTH IN GREAT 12:21 JETS, CONTINENTAL DRIFT, ALL THESE THINGS CHANGED, AND 12:28 THE FOSSIL RECORD TELLS US EXACTLY WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS: 12:31 THAT THERE WAS A MAJOR CHANGE ABOUT 4,000 YEARS AGO THAT 12:36 TOTALLY DISRUPTED THE WORLD. THERE'S A FLOOD OF EVIDENCE 12:39 THAT SUPPORTS THAT. NOW, THEN - I WANT TO EXPLAIN: 12:43 I DO BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION, BUT LEST SOMEONE STOP THE TAPE RIGHT 12:48 THERE, LET ME EXPLAIN - I BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU 12:50 CALL MICRO-EVOLUTION. WE SEE EXAMPLES OF 12:54 MICRO-EVOLUTION ALL AROUND US. IF YOU LOOK AT THE PERSON NEXT 12:57 TO YOU, YOU WILL SEE EXAMPLES OF MICRO-EVOLUTION. 13:01 (LAUGHTER) MICRO-EVOLUTION IS WHERE THE RABBITS - THE COMMON 13:06 HARE THAT IS LIVING OUT IN THE DESERT - AFTER A FEW 13:10 GENERATIONS, FOR SOME REASON, GOD HAS DESIGNED THEIR DNA, FOR 13:13 SURVIVAL REASONS, THEY WILL DEVELOP BROWN FUR, WHERE THEY 13:17 CAN MELT INTO THEIR ENVIRONMENT. AND YOU WILL HAVE A HARE - IT IS 13:21 STILL A HARE - AND IT WILL BE UP IN THE ARCTIC AND IT WILL HAVE 13:24 WHITE FUR SO IT CAN BLEND INTO ITS ENVIRONMENT. 13:27 YOU WILL SEE GREAT DIVERSITY OF SPECIES THAT HAVE EVOLVED WITHIN 13:33 THEIR SPECIES. AND ON THEIR PICTURE HERE I PUT, 13:36 AS AN EXAMPLE - EXHIBIT A - OF WHAT WE WOULD CALL 13:39 MICRO-EVOLUTION IS LOOK AT THE INCREDIBLE VARIETY OF DOGS. 13:44 YOU'VE GOT LITTLE BITTY DACHSHUNDS - THEY'VE GOT DOGS 13:48 WITH NO HAIR AND THEN THEY'VE GOT DOGS THAT ARE RACERS. 13:54 AND THEN THEY'VE GOT DOGS THAT ARE JUST COVERED WITH WRINKLES 13:56 THAT CAN BARELY WALK AND THEY'VE GOT DOGS THAT ARE - JUST GOT 13:59 LONG HAIR AND THEY CAN'T EVEN SEE THE EYES. 14:02 AND THEY'RE EVERY STRIPE AND TYPE - THEY'VE GOT BIG OLD 14:06 FLOPPY EARS AND INKY DINKY EARS AND PUDGY FACES AND LONG NOSES 14:09 AND - IN THE ORIGINAL DOGS - NOAH DID NOT TAKE, ON THE ARK, A 14:15 DACHSHUND AND A MALTESE AND A GERMAN SHEPHERD AND A 14:20 ST. BERNARD AND A BEAGLE AND A LHASO APSO AND ALL THE OTHER 14:22 DOGS. HE DIDN'T TAKE - HE TOOK TWO DOGS. 14:25 AND LOOK AT ALL THE VARIETY OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAT WE SEE 14:31 TODAY, HOW MANY PEOPLE DID THEY ALL COME FROM? 14:36 ADAM AND EVE AND THEN, ONCE AGAIN, FROM EVERYBODY THAT WAS 14:39 ON THE BOAT - ON THE ARK. AND LOOK AT ALL THE VARIETY - I 14:43 COULD GO AROUND THE WORLD TODAY, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I'VE TRAVELED 14:45 QUITE A BIT, AND I CAN GO TO THE DIFFERENT ISLANDS OF POLYNESIA 14:49 AND I CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE FIJIANS AND THE 14:52 SAMOANS, AND THE PEOPLE FROM NEW GUINEA, AND THE ABORIGINES, 14:57 AND IT SAYS, BECAUSE OF THE BREEDING AND THE GENES, 15:04 DIFFERENT TRAITS BECOME DOMINANT. 15:06 SO I BELIEVE IN MICRO-EVOLUTION. BUT WHAT YOU DO NOT SEE IS 15:11 SOMETHING THAT IS HALF DOG AND HALF CAT. 15:15 YOU DO NOT SEE CROSSING HAPPENING BETWEEN THE TYPES. 15:19 THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN. AND THE BIBLE SAYS GOD MADE EACH 15:22 ONE AFTER THEIR KIND - WE WOULD SAY SPECIES. 15:26 YOU'LL HAVE GREAT DIVERSITY AMONG THE SPECIES, BUT THE 15:29 SPECIES DO NOT CROSS. IN THE FOSSIL RECORD THERE IS 15:33 NO EVIDENCE OF THE TRANSITIONAL FORMS BETWEEN SPECIES. 15:37 HORSESHOE CRABS ARE STILL HORSESHOE CRABS. 15:41 AND THIS IS WHAT THEY SEE IN THE FOSSIL RECORD AS WELL. 15:45 SO THERE ARE MISSING LINKS. THEY'RE - THE TRANSITIONAL FORMS 15:52 BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT CREATURES ARE STILL MISSING. 15:56 YOU KNOW, YOU'VE SEEN THE TEXTBOOKS WHERE THEY'VE GOT THE, 15:59 YOU KNOW, THE MONKEY WALKING ON HIS KNUCKLES AND THEN SLOWLY HE 16:02 STARTS TO WALK A LITTLE MORE ON HIS FEET AND HE GETS MORE AND 16:04 MORE ERECT UNTIL YOU'VE GOT HOMO ERECTUS AND THE MAN IS STANDING 16:07 UP AND HE'S GOT THE NORMAL GAIT AND THEY SHOW ALL THESE THINGS 16:10 IN THE ILLUSTRATION OF THE BOOKS. 16:12 BUT, YOU KNOW, THE CREATURES - THE FOSSIL EVIDENCE IN THE 16:18 TRANSITION BETWEEN THE MONKEY AND THE MAN DOES NOT EXIST. 16:23 YOU WILL HAVE AN EXPEDITION WORKING IN AFRICA - THEY ARE 16:26 BEING FUNDED BY A UNIVERSITY OR SOME PRIVATE SUPPORTER OR SOME 16:28 DEEP POCKET - AND THEY ARE DIGGING, LOOKING FOR EVIDENCE OF 16:34 HUMAN EVOLUTION. AND IF THEY DON'T PRODUCE 16:37 SOMETHING, THEIR FUNDING DRIES UP. 16:40 THEY ARE EXTREMELY MOTIVATED TO FIND SOMETHING. 16:44 AND SO, WHEN THEY FIND ANY KIND OF ANCIENT GORILLA BONE - 16:49 ORANGUTAN BONE - THEY WILL GET EPOXY AND AN ARTIST AND THEY 16:53 BECOME VERY CREATIVE AND THEY SAY, 'WELL, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A 16:56 LITTLE DIFFERENCE HERE IN THE SKULL SHAPE. 16:58 WE THINK THIS WAS A TRANSITION.' AND THEY START TO PATCH IT 17:02 TOGETHER, THEY CALL IT WHAT THEY WANT AND THEY SAY, 'WE FOUND THE 17:04 MISSING LINK.' THEY HAVEN'T. WE HAVE COMPLETE SKELETONS OF 17:08 DINOSAURS WITHIN A CERTAIN SPECIES - MANY OF THE DINOSAURS 17:11 - COMPLETE SKELETONS. THERE IS NO COMPLETE SKELETON - 17:15 IF MAN HAS BEEN AROUND FOR THE MILLIONS OF YEARS THAT THEY TELL 17:19 US, THEN HOW COME WE CAN'T FIND ONE COMPLETE SKELETON? 17:23 WE JUST FIND THESE LITTLE PIECES AND A LOT OF IMAGINATION AND 17:25 THEY CREATE IT. IT'S JUST NOT THERE, FRIENDS. 17:30 WELL, SOME SAY, 'WELL, BECAUSE THERE'S SIMILARITY AMONG SPECIES 17:33 - AND THERE ARE CERTAIN SIMILARITIES AMONG 17:35 SPECIES, THAT MEANS THAT THEY ALL EVOLVED FROM A COMMON 17:38 SOURCE. NOW I JUST PUT A PICTURE 17:41 UP HERE ON THE SCREEN. YOU'VE GOT A CORVETTE, YOU'VE 17:45 GOT A FORD 350 TRUCK, AND YOU'VE GOT A YAMAHA MOTORCYCLE. 17:51 THEY ALL WERE MADE AT DIFFERENT FACTORIES. 17:55 DO THEY HAVE CERTAIN THINGS IN COMMON? 17:57 >>YEAH. >>WELL, LET'S THINK ABOUT IT. 18:00 DO THEY ALL HAVE, LIKE, RUBBER TIRES? 18:02 >>YES. >>OR AT LEAST SOME 18:03 DERIVATIVE OF THAT. DO THEY ALL HAVE INTERNAL 18:07 COMBUSTION SYSTEMS? >>YES. 18:09 >>UNLESS ONE OF THEM'S ELECTRONIC AND THAT WOULD BE A 18:11 SHAME. DO THEY ALL HAVE ELECTRICAL, 18:15 LIKE, LIGHTING SYSTEMS? >>YES. 18:18 >>DO THEY HAVE AN EXHAUST SYSTEM? 18:21 >>YES. >>GOT AN INTAKE SYSTEM. 18:23 >>YES. >>THEY'VE GOT A LUBRICATION 18:24 SYSTEM. THEY'VE GOT AN ACCELERATION - ACCELERATOR. 18:31 DO THEY HAVE BRAKING SYSTEMS? >>YES. 18:33 >>WHY DO THEY HAVE ALL THESE IN COMMON? 18:35 OBVIOUSLY THAT PICK-UP TRUCK WAS ONCE A CORVETTE THAT CAME FROM 18:40 THE MOTORCYCLE THAT ORIGINATED WITH A ROLLER SKATE. (LAUGHTER) 18:44 NO, THE REASON THEY SHARE SO MANY THINGS IN COMMON IS BECAUSE 18:48 THEY ALL OPERATE IN THE SAME ENVIRONMENT. 18:52 THEY ALL OPERATE UNDER CERTAIN LAWS AND SO THEY SHARE A LOT OF 18:56 THINGS IN COMMON. THEY'RE GOING TO NEED THE TAIL 18:58 LIGHTS TO SAY WHEN THEY'RE BRAKING. 19:00 THEY'RE GOING TO NEED THE HEADLIGHTS SO THEY CAN DRIVE AT 19:01 NIGHT. WHY DO YOU FIND SIMILARITIES 19:04 BETWEEN PEOPLE AND MONKEYS AND DOGS AND CATS. 19:09 THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THEY HAVE IN COMMON, NO QUESTION 19:11 ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE THEY WERE MADE BY THE SAME GOD WHO SAID, 19:15 'I THINK I'LL MAKE ONE WITH A LITTLE DIFFERENCE THIS WAY AND, 19:18 YOU KNOW, I'D LIKE TO ADD THIS. THIS CREATURE - I'LL MAKE IT 19:20 DIFFERENT, BUT SOME SIMILARITIES I LIKE. 19:22 I'M GOING TO ADD THAT AND THIS AND MAKE THIS.' AND THEY ALL 19:25 LIVE IN THE SAME ENVIRONMENT. WE NEED SYSTEMS TO PROPEL 19:28 OURSELVES SO WE'VE ALL GOT LEGS OR FINS OR WINGS. YOU KNOW, IT'S 19:31 AMAZING TO ME - FLYING FISH? >>YES. 19:37 >>GOD MADE FISH THAT KEPT JUMPING OUT OF THE WATER SO LONG 19:40 THAT AFTER MILLIONS OF YEARS THEY DEVELOPED AERODYNAMIC 19:42 DESIGN? NO, I'M BEING FACETIOUS, PLEASE. 19:47 BUT THE IDEA THAT THERE ARE FISH THAT FLY. 19:50 THERE ARE - THEY DON'T REALLY FLY, THEY GLIDE, THEY DON'T 19:54 FLAP. BUT THEY GLIDE A LONG WAY. 19:55 I'VE SEEN THEM. THERE ARE SQUIRRELS THAT FLY. 20:01 WHY DO SOME FLY AND OTHERS DON'T? 20:04 THERE ARE SNAKES IN INDONESIA THAT JUMP FROM TREES AND THEY 20:06 CAN FLATTEN THEIR RIB CAGE AND GLIDE. 20:09 THEY'VE GOT FROGS THAT WILL SPREAD OUT THEIR TOES AND FLY. 20:14 THE IDEA THAT LIZARDS COULD JUST KEEP RUNNING OFF CLIFFS AND 20:18 SOMEHOW, BEFORE THEY CRASHED ON THE BOTTOM, DEVELOP SOMETHING 20:24 AERODYNAMIC AND HOLLOW BONES AND FEATHERS AND PASS THAT ON TO 20:27 THEIR OFFSPRING. YOU CAN GIVE ME BILLIONS OF 20:30 YEARS AND I JUST CAN'T SEE ANY SCENARIO WHERE 20:32 THAT WOULD HAPPEN. YEAH, THERE'S SIMILARITIES AND 20:35 THEN THERE'S THE DATING DILEMMA. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. 20:38 I'VE ONLY GOT A FEW MOMENTS TO TALK ABOUT IT. 20:40 THE WHOLE EVOLUTIONARY SCHEME RISES OR FALLS ON THE DATING. 20:49 SINCE WE CANNOT OBSERVE ANY SPONTANEOUS LIFE HAPPENING, WE 20:53 CANNOT PRODUCE ANY SPONTANEOUS LIFE HAPPENING ANYWHERE IN OUR 20:55 WORLD. IN ORDER FOR IT TO HAPPEN, THE WAY THAT THAT'S 20:59 ACHIEVED IS JUST SAY 'WE'VE GOT MILLIONS OF YEARS. 21:03 MILLIONS OF YEARS HAVE GONE BY.' BUT THE DATING METHODS THEY USE 21:09 - CARBON-14 DATING, RADIOISOTOPE DATING - THEY'RE ALL ASSUMING 21:15 THAT THE ENVIRONMENT IS THE SAME TODAY AS IT WAS 6,000 YEARS AGO. 21:20 AND THE BIBLE SAYS IT WAS RADICALLY DIFFERENT. 21:23 LET ME READ SOMETHING TO YOU CALLED COMPTON'S ENCYCLOPEDIA . 21:27 "N-14" - OR CARBON-14 - "INTERACTS WITH COSMIC RAYS. 21:31 SCIENTISTS BELIEVE THAT COSMIC RAYS HAVE BEEN BOMBARDING THE 21:35 ATMOSPHERE EVER SINCE THE EARTH WAS FORMED," - THEY'RE BELIEVING 21:38 IT'S CONSTANT - "WHILE THE AMOUNT OF NITROGEN IN THE 21:41 ATMOSPHERE HAS REMAINED CONSTANT." - 21:43 THEY'RE ASSUMING THAT. THEY DON'T KNOW - "CONSEQUENTLY, 21:46 C-14 OR CARBON-14 FORMATION IS THOUGHT TO OCCUR 21:50 AT A CONSTANT RATE. ALTHOUGH THE CURRENT RATIO OF 21:53 C-14 TO OTHER CARBON ATOMS IN THE ATMOSPHERE IS KNOWN, 21:56 SCIENTISTS ARE NOT CERTAIN THAT THIS RATIO HAS BEEN CONSTANT. 22:01 ERRORS IN RADIO CARBON DATING CAN BE CAUSED BY INACCURATE 22:04 RADIATION OR PARTICLE COUNTS, CONTAMINATION OF A SAMPLE WITH 22:08 MORE MODERN CARBON, AND STRAY RADIATION STRIKING THE COUNTER. 22:11 USING RELATIVE DATING METHODS, SCIENTISTS ARE ABLE TO 22:14 DISTINGUISH WHICH EVENTS OCCURRED, BUT THEY'RE NOT ALWAYS 22:17 ABLE TO ESTABLISH EXACTLY WHEN THEY OCCURRED. 22:20 YOU KNOW HOW MOST OF THE DATING - THE ANCIENT DATING - IS 22:23 ACHIEVED? YOU'VE GOT TO LISTEN CAREFULLY. 22:25 THEY FIND A FOSSIL WITHIN A CERTAIN STRATA - AT A CERTAIN 22:31 DEPTH IN THE EARTH - AND THEY SAY, 'BECAUSE IT WAS FOUND AT 22:34 THIS DEPTH, IT MUST BE THIS MANY THOUSANDS OF YEARS OLD.' WELL, 22:39 HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT THAT DEPTH IS THAT MANY MILLIONS OR 22:43 THOUSANDS OF YEARS OLD? 'BECAUSE OF THE FOSSILS WE FOUND THERE. 22:48 THESE ARE VERY ANCIENT FOSSILS AND WE FOUND THEM AT THAT DEPTH. 22:51 THAT DEPTH MUST REPRESENT A VERY LONG TIME AGO.' WELL, HOW DO YOU 22:55 KNOW THAT THAT DEPTH IS SO ANCIENT? 22:59 'BECAUSE OF THE FOSSILS WE FOUND THERE? 23:01 AND HOW DO YOU KNOW THOSE FOSSILS ARE SO OLD? 23:03 'BECAUSE OF HOW DEEP WE FOUND THEM.' (LAUGHTER) THAT'S WHAT 23:07 YOU CALL CIRCULAR REASONING . IT ALL DEPENDS ON IS THE RADIO 23:13 CARBON-14 DATING ACCURATE? THEY CAN ONLY ASSUME IT'S 23:17 ACCURATE BASED ON WHAT THEY TEST IN THE MODERN ENVIRONMENT. 23:22 YOU WALK INTO A ROOM, YOU SEE A CANDLE BURNING AND YOU SHUT THE 23:24 DOOR AND I SAY, 'HOW LONG WAS THAT CANDLE BURNING?' 23:27 YOU'LL SAY, 'WELL, LET ME MEASURE HOW QUICKLY I SEE IT 23:32 BURN AND THAT MIGHT GIVE ME SOME IDEA ABOUT HOW LONG THE CANDLE 23:35 WAS BURNING.' BUT I SAY, 'NO, WAIT A SECOND. 23:38 YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TALL IT WAS WHEN IT STARTED. 23:42 FURTHERMORE, YOU DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BURNING AT THE SAME RATE 23:45 NOW AS IT WAS BEFORE YOU WALKED IN THE ROOM. WHEN YOU WALKED IN 23:48 THE ROOM, YOU MAY HAVE CHANGED HOW MUCH OXYGEN WAS IN THE 23:51 ROOM.' THERE'S SO MANY VARIABLES THAT MAKE IT VERY 23:55 DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO KNOW WITH A CERTAINTY HOW QUICKLY THAT 23:57 CANDLE HAS BEEN BURNING. THAT'S THE PROBLEM THAT THEY'VE 24:01 GOT WITH THE DATING METHODS. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW OLD 24:04 THINGS ARE, TO DO REAL SCIENCE - YOU KNOW HOW GOOD 24:07 SCIENTISTS WOULD MEASURE? THEY WOULD DEVELOP THEIR THEORY, 24:10 THEN THEY WOULD GO BACK 65 MILLION YEARS AND SAY, 'SURE 24:13 ENOUGH, THIS IS WHEN IT STARTED.' WE HAVE NO WAY TO GO 24:16 BACK IN TIME AND TEST THE THEORY OF TIMING THAT FAR BACK. 24:21 AND SO, IT IS NOTHING BUT A THEORY. 24:24 YOU'RE MOCKED IF YOU'RE TELLING PEOPLE THAT IT'S STILL A THEORY. 24:27 NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CAME OUT WITH A MAGAZINE THAT SAYS, 'WAS 24:30 DARWIN RIGHT?' BEFORE THEY GIVE ANY EVIDENCE, YOU OPEN TO THE 24:32 PAGE OF THE ARTICLE AND IT SAYS - 'WAS DARWIN WRONG?' 24:36 - AND THE ARTICLE SAYS, 'NO, EVOLUTION IS A FACT.' THEY 24:40 HAVEN'T EVEN GIVEN ANY EVIDENCE. IT'S BEING TAUGHT AS A FACT, BUT 24:44 WHEN YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT, IT'S NOT LOGICAL, FRIENDS. 24:47 I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE SOME THINGS WE CAN'T EXPLAIN. 24:51 DO WE HAVE A PROBLEM EXPLAINING THINGS ABOUT GOD? 24:55 A LITTLE BIT. 'WHERE DID GOD COME FROM?' 'I DON'T KNOW.' 25:00 BUT YOU ASK EVOLUTIONISTS 'WHERE DID THINGS COME FROM?' 25:04 'WELL, WORLD CAME FROM THE SUN WHEN IT EXPLODED AND IT WAS SENT 25:08 - HURLING OUR SOLAR SYSTEM OUT INTO SPACE AND' - 'WELL, WHERE 25:13 DID OUR SUN COME FROM?' 'WELL, IT CAME FROM A SUPERNOVA 25:15 OUT THERE IN THE UNIVERSE WHEN A STAR EXPLODED.' 'WHERE'D 25:18 THAT STAR COME FROM?' 'WELL, IT CAME FROM GAS 25:20 PARTICLES THAT COLLIDED.' 'WHERE'D THAT COME FROM?' 25:25 'WELL, WE...' - AND EVENTUALLY, YOU KNOW WHAT 25:28 THEY'RE GOING TO SAY? 'THERE'S A MYSTERY. 25:29 WE DON'T KNOW WHERE SOMETHING CAME FROM.' NOW THEY SAY, THE 25:32 BIG BANG - GET THIS - THEY SAY THE BIG BANG WAS ALL THE MATTER 25:36 IN THE UNIVERSE WAS SOMEHOW COMPRESSED TO SOMETHING THE SIZE 25:38 OF THE HEAD OF A PIN. HOW MANY OF YOU HEARD THAT ONE? 25:41 IT EXPLODED. WHERE DID THE PINHEAD OF MATERIAL COME FROM? 25:47 EITHER WAY, YOU'RE GOING TO COME TO ONE OF TWO CHOICES. 25:51 YOU CAN BELIEVE ALL THE BEAUTY AND ALL THE ORGANIZATION AND ALL 25:54 THE WONDERS AND ALL THE INTER-WORKING DESIGN AND ALL THE 25:56 SYMMETRY AND ALL THE MATH AND THE HEALING AND THE SYMBIOTIC 26:01 RELATIONSHIPS IN THE WORLD AROUND US TODAY ALL CAME FROM A 26:05 PINHEAD THAT EXPLODED, OR THERE'S AN INTELLIGENT GOD AND 26:09 WE DON'T KNOW WHERE HE CAME FROM BECAUSE HE IS FROM EVERLASTING 26:11 TO EVERLASTING. 26:17 DON'T FORGET TO REQUEST TODAY'S LIFE-CHANGING FREE RESOURCE. 26:21 NOT ONLY CAN YOU RECEIVE THIS FREE GIFT IN THE MAIL, 26:23 YOU CAN DOWNLOAD A DIGITAL COPY STRAIGHT TO YOUR 26:25 COMPUTER OR MOBILE DEVICE. 26:27 TO GET YOUR DIGITAL COPY OF TODAY'S FREE GIFT, 26:29 SIMPLY TEXT THE KEY WORD ON YOUR SCREEN TO 40544 OR VISIT THE WEB 26:34 ADDRESS SHOWN ON YOUR SCREEN. 26:36 AND BE SURE TO SELECT THE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD 26:38 OPTION ON THE REQUEST PAGE. 26:40 IT'S NOW EASIER THAN EVER FOR YOU TO STUDY GOD'S WORD WITH 26:43 AMAZING FACTS WHEREVER AND WHENEVER YOU WANT. 26:46 AND MOST IMPORTANT, TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS. 26:52 >>WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW GOD'S PLAN FOR OUR BROKEN WORLD AS 26:55 REVEALED IN BIBLE PROPHECY? 26:57 WANT PRACTICAL, TRUSTED SOLUTIONS FOR 26:59 YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGES? 27:02 FRESHLY UPDATED AND REDESIGNED, AMAZING FACTS BIBLE STUDY GUIDES 27:06 PROVIDE 27 BIBLE-BASED TOPICAL LESSONS WITH BEAUTIFUL GRAPHICS 27:10 AND STRAIGHTFORWARD ANSWERS THAT ARE ENLIGHTENING, 27:12 ENCOURAGING, AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND. 27:15 EACH STUDY GUIDE LEADS YOU TOWARD REAL RELEVANT BIBLE 27:17 ANSWERS FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS IN YOUR LIFE: HOW CAN 27:21 I HAVE HEALTHIER RELATIONSHIPS? 27:23 WHEN AND HOW WILL JESUS COME AGAIN? 27:25 AND SO MUCH MORE. 27:27 DON'T LEAVE YOUR FUTURE TO CHANCE. 27:29 TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE WITH TRUTHS FROM THE AMAZING 27:32 FACTS BIBLE STUDY GUIDES. 27:34 PREFER TO WATCH WHILE YOU READ? 27:35 OUR BRAND-NEW PROPHECY ENCOUNTERS DVD SERIES MAKES THE 27:38 PERFECT COMPANION SET. 27:40 DON'T WAIT, ORDER YOUR STUDY GUIDES AND DVD SET TODAY BY 27:44 VISITING AFBOOKSTORE.COM OR BY CALLING 800-538-7275. 27:55 DON'T FORGET TO REQUEST TODAY'S FREE OFFER. 27:57 IT'S SURE TO BE A BLESSING. 27:58 AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT 28:01 AS WE TAKE THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST TO THE WORLD. 28:04 WE HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US NEXT WEEK 28:06 AS WE DELVE DEEP INTO THE WORD OF GOD 28:08 TO EXPLORE MORE AMAZING FACTS. 28:25 >>THIS PRESENTATION WAS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF THE 28:27 AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY. |
