00:24 My name is Jim Burr.
00:25 Welcome to Heavens Declare. 00:27 Heavens Declare, the Glory of God 00:28 brighter than they ever and how it helps. 00:33 I like to first introduce myself, 00:35 I design telescopes and live in Colorado, 00:38 and we have a picture of some of the telescopes 00:40 I have designed. 00:41 And we have actually sold the large one you see there. 00:46 Actually, we sold a couple of those to NASA, 00:48 for the Mars Science Lab, and that was to get data back 00:51 from Mars on a laser beam. 00:53 And we're gonna need 16 of those, 00:55 and then what happened, 00:56 but NASA got their budget cut and they only bought two. 00:59 You also see some white instruments there, 01:01 those are actually binocular telescopes 01:03 which I've invented, and this has never been done before. 01:06 You actually put your face between those two tubes, 01:09 you look down into the tubes, and with both eyes 01:11 what you see is beyond belief. 01:14 So in the series we're doing, I would like to give you 01:18 the titles of some of the program. 01:20 Some of you, you may want to get a pencil 01:22 and write these down, 01:23 because as we go through the series you may say, 01:26 "Boy, I would be interested in, 01:27 I don't want to miss the program 01:29 on the Ryan or the one on, 01:31 you know, Joshua's Long Day or the Star of Bethlehem." 01:35 So these are some of the titles 01:36 and what I want to do is wedge your appetite 01:38 for this series Heavens Declare, the Glory of God. 01:41 You know whether you're looking through the microscope 01:42 or the telescope, we see an incredible God. 01:46 And in fact, we're gonna start off 01:48 with this early in the series with from the pictures 01:52 from the microscope. 01:54 And but first, let me share with you 01:56 some of the titles that we're gonna be doing. 02:00 We're gonna be doing a two programs on strictly 02:03 what the Bible has to say about the heavens 02:06 and, you know, Galileo said, 02:08 "The heavens don't tell you how they... 02:10 The Bible doesn't tell you how the heavens go but it says 02:13 how to go to heaven." 02:15 So Galileo thought there really wasn't much science 02:18 apparently in the Bible. 02:20 And actually, you'd be surprised 02:21 what I've uncovered 02:23 that the Bible has to say scientifically accurate stuff. 02:26 You know, 3000 years ago, Jeremiah said, 02:29 "The stars are innumerable like the sands of the seashore." 02:32 And it was talking about Abraham's seeds to posterity. 02:37 And there must have been people, I was joked, 02:39 must have been where you put 02:40 Jeremiah in the mental institution. 02:42 Jeremiah, don't you keep up 02:43 with the Guinness Book of World Records, 02:45 don't you read Scientific America. 02:47 Jeremiah, we know that there are 6000 stars 02:50 visible with the naked eye before the telescope. 02:52 We know there are 6000 you say likes sands of the seashore, 02:55 what's really interesting, the Bible, 02:58 astronomer today say that 03:00 if you took all the sands on planet earth 03:03 roughly equivalent to all the stars 03:05 of the known universe. 03:06 So 3000 years ago, the Bible had it right, 03:09 and astronomers today, 03:11 I read more than once actually saying that 03:14 the sands of seashore would be like the stars of heaven. 03:17 So we're going to do two programs 03:19 on that type of thing. 03:21 And then we're gonna do a program which we have titled 03:24 20,000 galaxies through a straw. 03:26 The Hubble looked through a straw in the north. 03:31 It actually looked out of our galaxy, 03:34 if we look to the south, 03:35 we're looking at the center of our galaxy. 03:36 But the Hubble looked up near the Big Dipper, 03:39 where we're looking out of the galaxy 03:41 and even the Bible had that right, the Bible said, 03:44 "God hangs the north over the empty space." 03:47 So in order to see way out in space, 03:49 the Hubble looked in the north there at the Big Dipper, 03:52 and originally it went for a time exposure 03:55 which is see way, way out in space through 03:57 this little speck in the sky 03:59 and they... 04:00 They let the camera be open for ten days. 04:03 So the light could come in, and they could see 04:05 way out in space. 04:06 And they originally got 3,000 pictures in ten days. 04:09 Then they improve the Hubble with new cameras, 04:11 and they went to 8.4 hours, 04:13 they got 3000, galaxies in ten days 04:16 with the new cameras. 04:18 They were able to get 6000 galaxies in 8.4 hours. 04:23 And then they were at 84 hours, 04:26 and now we have through this little speck in the sky 04:28 20,000 galaxies. 04:30 We're gonna get into that in that program, 04:33 titled, "20, 000 galaxies through a straw." 04:37 And then were gonna go to the, Megastar Cluster, 04:40 and the Omega. 04:41 We have in our galaxy, 04:42 we have these globular clusters of stars. 04:45 We have open clusters like the Pleiades, 04:48 which would be hundreds of stars, 04:50 and then we have globs of stars, 04:51 we have million of stars. 04:53 In the Omega cluster, the biggest cluster, 04:55 we believe they say, 10,000 stars. 04:58 And the Hubble zoomed in, zoomed in, 05:00 zoomed in, zoomed in, 05:01 on these and they're just beautiful picture 05:03 of all the colors that you see. 05:05 And then the Hubble watch the stars, 05:09 actually watch them for four years. 05:12 And in four years, 05:13 it could plot the orbit of actually the motion, 05:15 we gonna show you a video clip 05:17 of how these stars are going to move. 05:19 Now, they aren't just going in two dimensions on the screen. 05:22 They're actually going in three dimensions 05:24 and they're traveling at 40, 50,000 miles an hour. 05:27 And they're taking planets with them. 05:29 And this is really exciting program for me, 05:33 because of the fact that 05:36 when we get three bodies in orbit, 05:38 nobody can write a formula for the center of rotation 05:40 of three bodies, three masses that are of different size. 05:43 You can look this up the three body problem. 05:45 We can't write a formula for three, 05:48 and we've got 100 billion in the galaxy 05:50 and they're all moving. 05:51 God's got it figured out, and we can't figure out three. 05:54 So then we're gonna show you, right after that clip, 05:56 you're gonna see our sun, traveling through space. 05:58 You think the planets are going around like this, 06:00 we think of that. 06:02 No, our sun is going through space at 45,000 miles an hour, 06:05 taking the planets with it in the Helix just a fantastic, 06:09 fantastic image we'll be sharing. 06:11 Then the title of the next series would be, 06:14 "The Big Bang that never happened." 06:16 I did a series on Loma Linda, and the title was, "The Hubble, 06:19 The Bible, The Big Bang," 06:20 and from that some people thought, 06:22 I believed in the Big Bang. 06:24 No, I don't believe in the Big Bang. 06:26 And we're gonna show you the problems. 06:28 In fact, there are so many problems with the Big Bang, 06:31 there's been two major conferences 06:33 where scientists come together, 06:35 and 3000 PhDs have written papers on the problems 06:38 with the Big Bang. 06:39 And they're in desperation. 06:42 You know, they say, "Well, how do the Big Bang happened? 06:46 What caused the Big Bang? Where did it come from?" 06:48 You know and evolutionists say, 06:50 that the Big Bang does not describe 06:54 how the universe started. 06:56 Only describes how it has evolved. 07:00 They can't explain where it came from? 07:03 I mean this is just amazing and evolution... 07:06 The theory of evolution is the same thing. 07:08 You talk about the theory of evolution. 07:09 The theory of evolution says that, you know, 07:12 the theory of evolution does not explain 07:14 how life origins, it's called a biogenesis. 07:17 How life originally started on the planet. 07:20 Evolution only explains 07:22 how it has evolved through mutation, natural selection. 07:26 We're gonna be getting into that. 07:29 Then when gonna talk about, "Livermore, 07:30 Lawrence Livermore University National Laboratory, 07:34 is trying to create a sun on earth 07:36 as is the French have one that's they call ITER, 07:41 I forget the acronym. 07:43 But the sun, you know, in our nuclear reactors, 07:47 we have tremendous power in the atom, 07:49 it's unbelievable. 07:51 In fact, in a penny, in a penny 07:53 if you could release the energy, 07:54 the chemical energy in a penny or the binding energy 07:59 that holds the atom together. 08:01 If you could release that, that penny would produce 08:03 2.2 million gallons of gasoline in a penny. 08:07 God spoke that, God put that there. 08:09 Put that energy there 08:11 and what happens on the sun? 08:14 There is this incredible energy, 08:15 if we could harness the sun, 08:16 it would solve our energy problems. 08:19 If we could harness the sun, it solve our energy problem. 08:21 So Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory 08:23 is trying to create a sun on earth, 08:25 and I think was February of 2014, 08:28 they actually prove that our sun works. 08:30 They were actually able to get more energy out 08:32 than they put in, but we're gonna, 08:34 we're gonna go into that series programs on 08:38 man trying to create a sun on earth. 08:41 And then we have two programs 08:43 on the attributes of God in the heavens. 08:45 You know, the Bible talks about 08:46 the attributes of God in the heavens. 08:48 It mentions his faithfulness, He is in the heaven of heaven, 08:51 and He's faithful. 08:52 You see every day that His, the sun comes up, 08:55 the stars come up every day. 08:57 He's faithful to bring those over. 08:59 The Bible talks about He is rich and mercy 09:01 and power and grace, many things, 09:02 he owns the cattle on a thousand hills. 09:04 Bible talks about His riches. 09:06 If you Google diamond star, 09:08 you will discover a star HD97O48 09:11 has a hundred thousand to a million trillion 09:13 tons of diamonds. 09:15 Again, the National Laboratory says, 09:17 that the carbon, the temperature, the pressure, 09:20 everything is right on these stars 09:22 that they may be solid dime. 09:25 As well, the Bible talks about streets of gold, 09:27 gates of pearl, no problem for the Lord. 09:30 And then we're gonna get in, 09:32 we'll have two weeks on the Attributes of God, 09:36 and we'll talk about Natural Selection, 09:39 Survival of the Fittest, in the evolution theory, 09:44 and actually show you how... 09:45 how actually how natural selection eliminates species. 09:51 It does not create new species, Natural Selection, 09:54 Survival Of The Fittest. 09:55 I will show you how natural selection 09:58 will eliminate four dogs out, 10:01 three out of four dogs and so that would be, 10:07 the Survival Of The Fittest and Natural Selection. 10:11 Then we're gonna do a program on Orion. 10:13 And I know many will be interested in that one. 10:16 And we're gonna show you a cloud, 10:17 that I think may be... 10:19 The City of Light, the News Jerusalem is a city of light 10:21 would God have to cover it. 10:22 I have discovered a cloud there that is so huge. 10:29 For a flash of lightning 10:30 traveling at 186, 000 miles a second 10:32 would take 300 years for this flash of lightning 10:36 to cross that cloud 10:37 and behind that cloud is light coming out 10:40 called Bernard's loop. 10:41 So we're gonna talk about Orion. 10:43 And the next one will be on the Hadron Collider. 10:47 And so in Switzerland, 10:49 we have a collider underground 17 miles, 10:53 and these accelerate these protons 10:56 the speed of light slamming them together, 10:58 trying to find out what the universe is made of. 11:00 Trying to find out the Higgs boson, 11:02 that is what gives us mass. 11:05 They think the Higgs field, 11:06 the Higgs boson is what keeps us 11:09 from traveling the speed of light. 11:10 Everything that doesn't have matter 11:13 moves at the speed of light. 11:14 But we can't move at the speed of light. 11:16 They're saying there's this particle 11:18 that's called the God particle 11:20 that prevents us from traveling our bodies 11:23 at the speed of light, 11:24 and they think maybe they have found it, 11:25 I'm not sure how they'll know whether they found it. 11:27 But they say they have found it. 11:29 And, but what's interesting 11:31 the Hadron Collider, folks, is incredible. 11:35 Psalm 33:6, says, 11:37 "By the word of the Lord were the heavens made." 11:42 It blows me away. 11:44 What a God. 11:46 Psalm 33:6, that is E=MC squared. 11:51 That is the general theory of relativity, Psalm 33:6, 11:54 we have proven. 11:56 We have now... 11:57 Einstein would agree with Psalm 33:6, where it says, 12:00 "By the word of the Lord were the heavens made." 12:04 And we at the Hadron Collider now have proven 12:08 that energy creates matter. 12:15 I was looking here at the Hadron Collider, slam part, 12:22 and we spend about a million dollars 12:24 a week on electricity. 12:26 The power to run the Hadron Collider 12:28 about a million dollars a week, 12:30 and by slamming these particles together, 12:32 they've actually made matter. 12:34 This is mass, this is matter, 12:36 and they prove if you have enough energy, 12:39 you can actually create mass, mass and energy. 12:43 And the formula there 12:47 E equals energy equals matter, 12:51 times the speed of light squared. 12:55 So you take the speed of light, multiply it times itself, 12:59 and that is the proof that energy... 13:04 The voice of God, the power of God, 13:06 the Bible tells us that all, Jesus said, 13:07 all power is given to me in heaven and earth. 13:10 And we know that His word is power, 13:13 and that He could speak the universe into existence. 13:16 Energy, His incredible power could create matter. 13:20 This is matter. 13:21 And the theory of relativity tells us 13:24 the equivalence there of energy and matter. 13:27 And so, we're going to talk about the Hadron Collider. 13:31 And then we have a series... 13:34 We have some programs coming up on Science in the Classroom, 13:37 we'll be taking two weeks, 13:39 two series and talking about Science in the Classroom. 13:41 The cry we hear all the time 13:44 is we want science in our classrooms. 13:46 We want something we can test. 13:49 We don't want creation, we don't want, you know, 13:52 intelligent design, we want solid science. 13:56 And this series I say, you know, 13:57 I don't want to offend anybody out there, 13:59 because that's we hear this over and over, 14:00 we want science, something testable, 14:02 something falsifiable. 14:03 So class, let's have a class, and test some of these things. 14:08 So today class, we're going to study dark matter. 14:11 You can learn all about dark matter, 14:12 for that we'll go to 14:14 Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 14:15 the most prestigious institute on the planet. 14:18 And for that we'll go to Professor Max Tegmark, 14:21 and Max Tegmark says, 14:23 "Dark matter is a code word for our ignorance." 14:29 Class, we're gonna to talk about the expanding universe, 14:32 the fact that we now know the universe, 14:33 the galaxies are stretching out faster and faster moving out 14:36 faster everyday. 14:38 And I'll show you an article 14:40 in Sky and Telescope Magazine July 2001, which says, 14:45 "That this expanding universe violates all standard physics." 14:49 And so we're gonna go through in two probes. 14:51 We're gonna go show through and show the problems. 14:57 Here's an article, if this discovery is true, 15:00 we know less than nothing. 15:01 So we go through this, and then we're going to show you 15:05 how you can test that. 15:06 Well, they say we want to test it, 15:08 okay, let's test it. 15:09 Evolution happens, we have ten million species 15:11 on planet earth. 15:12 Ten million species, that came from an amoeba 15:14 or some little microscopic creature okay, 15:17 10 million maybe 15 million. 15:21 So they're just gonna... 15:23 Evolution is gonna, I just can't help but happening. 15:25 Given enough time anything can happen, 15:27 you can go from an amoeba to an elephant, 15:28 from amoeba to a mango, can go from amoeba, 15:31 you know to a beautiful rose bush. 15:33 If you give it enough time all the food you know, so. 15:38 Since evolution just gonna happen, 15:39 then give me an egg from a cat, and a sperm from a dog. 15:42 I have everything for life, 15:44 I have an egg which has mitochondria in it, 15:46 it has DNA. RNA. 15:48 it has letter codes, base pairs. 15:51 I have got chromosomes, everything I need for life, 15:55 and now you get a sperm, right. 15:56 Evolution is just gonna happen, okay. 15:58 Put them together, they won't work. 15:59 Why? Because your Bible says, 16:02 ten times they reproduce after their kind. 16:06 And evolution says, 16:08 "No, we have crossed species, evolution, 16:10 we can cross from one species to another 16:12 if you give it enough time." 16:14 Here it is, folks, test it. 16:15 They want something you can test in the classroom, 16:17 test this. 16:18 And they've got a gonna sperm everything for life, 16:21 but it won't work. 16:22 In fact, Francis Crick, the guy who discovered DNA. 16:28 He know... he looked at, 16:29 he looked at the letter cause the DNA. 16:30 the complexity of the DNA. 16:32 and he knows, that it just couldn't happen. 16:37 So Crick says, "There must have been aliens." 16:40 Life must have got here from aliens. 16:42 Aliens could have populated space sending out capsules, 16:46 with you know amino acids and polymers and DNA 16:49 and all this kind of stuff, and it might have arrived 16:51 on earth on a comet or an asteroid and that could be 16:55 how life got started, okay. 16:59 What happens when an asteroid hits? 17:00 You've seen the fireball, you saw the one in Russia 17:03 in 2013 in February that giant fireball, 17:07 that an asteroid that came from earth, 17:09 do you think DNA is gonna survive that? 17:12 He would settle for that, 17:13 that would he would be happy to settle for that 17:15 if we can show that something arrived from space. 17:17 Well, then where did that come... 17:18 Oh, was it, that was an advanced group of aliens. 17:23 And where did they come from? 17:24 Well, they were, you know, 17:26 from another advance species of aliens 17:29 and so we go on and on and on and it's, 17:34 it is hilarious folks, it's just hilarious. 17:36 Even Stephen Jay Gould from Harvard. 17:39 Stephen Jay Gould, paleontologist for Harvard. 17:42 He knows that there are no trance fossils record 17:46 does not show what he's trying to preach. 17:49 And we have these looks like gaps 17:52 and where we jump from one species to another, 17:55 in that fossil record we have all these different species. 17:59 And he says, what must have happened 18:04 about every 50, 000 years or so, 18:06 a lizard could it be a lizard lays an egg 18:08 and out comes a bird. 18:11 That's, does Harvard know about this guy? 18:16 Folks, we're gonna get into this 18:19 and show you how this could not happen, 18:22 because of the genetic code, 18:25 the replication of the DNA. 18:31 There are... I have discovered 50 genes 18:34 that are going to correct for mistakes, 18:36 correct for mutations, and it can never happen. 18:38 Because, if you went from one species to another 18:41 from this lizard to a bird, you would find that 18:46 there's no instructions in the DNA 18:49 in the genes to make hollow bones. 18:51 The dinosaurs have hollow bones, 18:56 the birds have... 18:59 The dinosaurs have solid bones the birds have hollow bones. 19:03 The birds have feathers, dinosaurs don't have feathers. 19:06 The birds have the first velcro ever invented, 19:08 the feather stick together like velcro. 19:10 The birds have lungs 19:12 that breathe through like a manifold, 19:15 where we breathe in and out and so they can, 19:17 the terns can fly for 6,000 miles so. 19:20 That is, that is incredible stuff. 19:23 And let's see, where are weat here, 19:26 we are in the... 19:28 Okay, the next would be the little Bang theory. 19:30 This has something to do with the flood. 19:31 I won't go into that and say any more about that. 19:33 We gonna talk about the Star of Bethlehem. 19:35 What was the star of Bethlehem? 19:36 You know videos are made, books are written, 19:38 all kinds of things on the Star of Bethlehem, 19:41 thinking it was a conjunction of the planets 19:43 or it was a comet or a supernova. 19:46 And we'll show you five problem. 19:48 If it was a comet, a conjunction, a supernova. 19:50 I'm gonna give you five problems, 19:51 if you know how the stars move in the sky. 19:54 If you have your Bible, if you have a map, 19:57 you'll see there are five problems with anybody 19:59 who says that the Star of Bethlehem 20:01 was some sort of a natural event. 20:04 Is there life on another planets? 20:06 That will be one of our series. 20:08 We're getting now into somewhere down into 20:10 after 20 weeks probably of the series. 20:13 And the star Bethlehem, Life out of the Planets. 20:19 Most Christians believe that this earth 20:21 is the only place there is life. 20:23 Now we need to be clear, 20:24 this is the only place there's sin. 20:27 But I think the Bible gives us many scriptures, 20:29 you could look at 20:32 actually at Hebrews 1:11, that it says, 20:36 1:3 says, "Jesus made the universe of worlds." 20:39 Is repeated in Hebrews 11. 20:41 You can look at Nehemiah 9:6, Nehemiah 9:6 said, 20:44 "He made the heavens with all their hosts 20:47 and the hosts of heaven worship him." 20:50 You can look at Mark 13, at the very end, 20:53 at the very end of all things, Jesus sends his angels 20:56 from the uttermost part of earth to gather His elect, 20:58 like to the uttermost part of heaven. 21:00 Matthew 24 repeats the same thing. 21:02 At the very end of time he, you know, 21:04 he gathers his elect from the four winds. 21:07 I think exactly how it were to the outermost part of heaven. 21:11 We can look at Revelation 12:12, 21:12 Rejoice ye heavens, rejoice ye heavens, 21:16 woe to the earth." 21:18 Because Satan's come down to the earth. 21:19 And so, we can look at that and Job, 21:22 in some of these Job 1:6, 21:24 some of these scriptures would indicate that there must be, 21:28 we're spectacle of the angels the Bible says too, 21:31 that there must be life out there somewhere, 21:33 and you know we need to be clear. 21:36 This is the only place there is sin, 21:37 and will ever be sin. 21:39 Because the Bible says, 21:40 "Iniquity shall not rise a second time." 21:46 And then we're gonna do a program on 21:49 "Heaven and the New Earth," 21:51 and this will be totally amazing to you. 21:54 What we have discovered, what I have discovered is that 22:00 Ellen White says, "She was... 22:03 she has seen what looks like tree houses, 22:07 houses supported on pillars 22:10 that were the inhabitants of the saints." 22:12 And so when we talk about what, you know, people say, 22:14 I had a pastor one time say, 22:15 "Well, heavens kind of spiritual," 22:17 you know but the Bible has a lot to say about haven. 22:20 It says, you know, 22:21 that at his right hand are pleasures for evermore. 22:25 And Ellen White talks about the fact that 22:28 "Satan has tried to eclipse the glories 22:31 of the future world." 22:35 It's amazing the stuff that she has to say about heaven. 22:39 So we're gonna talk about Heaven and the New Earth. 22:41 We have one program for the children 22:43 and sometimes looking up in the sky, 22:45 you might see a cloud looks like a rabbit 22:46 or you know an elephant or something. 22:48 Well, actually when we look through a telescope, 22:50 we discover that we see things that look like butterflies 22:55 and look like all sorts of things we're familiar with, 22:58 so it's kind of a fun program for the children. 23:02 And then when you talk about astrology and astronomy, 23:08 you know, the people often get this confused, 23:12 when I go someplace that sometime they'll introduce me 23:14 as talking about astrology. 23:16 I'm sure these people know, it's just a confusion of terms. 23:20 But the Christian should not put 23:22 any waste our time in astrology. 23:26 Astrology I believe is a perversion 23:29 and it appears that the, there's a story of salvation 23:33 told in the constellations. 23:34 We're gonna be touching on that, 23:36 in one of our programs too. 23:39 But when I went to Russia, 23:41 we've been to Russia in 20 cities 23:43 lecturing throughout Russia. 23:44 And this was one thing that the new Christians in Russia, 23:47 have been steeped in astrology and it was, 23:51 I always said talk about astrology, 23:53 talk about fortune by stars and this type of thing. 23:56 So actually, the Bible and it was in Isaiah, okay, 24:03 it's coming up here, I'm sorry, in Isaiah. 24:08 Let's see, 47:13, 14. 24:12 It says, "Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. 24:19 Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, 24:22 the monthly prognosticators, stand up, 24:25 and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. 24:29 Behold, they shall be as stubble; 24:31 the fire shall burn them, and they shall not 24:36 deliver themselves from the power of the flame: 24:39 there shall not be a coal to warm at, 24:42 nor fire to sit before it." 24:44 Isaiah 47:13, 14. 24:47 So the Bible condemns astrology and Satan I believe has used 24:52 astrology to... 24:58 have people spend their lives 25:01 thinking their lives are controlled by the stars. 25:03 Actually, a jet 747 going over your head 25:07 would have more gravitational effect on your life 25:09 than the planet Venus would. 25:12 So astrology is basically a joke 25:15 and I should probably say something about... 25:23 the life, I believe the earth is, 25:26 the earth is young and there's a tremendous amount of evidence 25:29 for a young earth, tremendous amount. 25:32 But not for a universe, and I know, 25:34 I'm gonna get letters on this, I always do. 25:37 But you know the Bible says, 25:38 let me ask you a question for those Christians 25:40 who think that this earth is the only place that life was... 25:45 People who think that the whole universe was made 25:47 6000 years ago, 25:50 where was God? 25:52 The Bible says, "His throne is from everlasting in the heavens 25:57 is from eternity past as of old over and over again" 26:00 if you look at that. 26:01 And if you look at Genesis 1:8, the focus of verse 8 is, 26:05 "The firmament, the sky," 26:07 when he talks about the creation account, 26:08 he's talking about the earth, 21 times, the earth, the earth, 26:11 the earth, the earth, 21 times in one chapter. 26:13 The earth, the earth, the earth, verse 16, 26:16 the stars also that he created has been added by the editors. 26:21 And so, if you look at the scripture 26:23 what the Bible really has to say about. 26:25 The Bible says, "There was war in heaven." 26:27 We had war in heaven. 26:28 That was before the Garden of Eden. 26:31 And so, if you look at this, 26:34 we actually don't have to do violence with science 26:38 or violence with the Bible. 26:40 By looking at it, from this concept 26:43 that somewhere in eternity past, 26:46 God made the heavens, created the earth, 26:49 the earth it says, was without form and void, 26:53 and darkness was upon the face of the deep. 26:57 Could it be, God laid the foundations of the earth, 26:59 the eternity past, and then about 6,000, 27:03 it was without form and void, and then about 6,000 years ago, 27:06 he came back and put, put life on earth. 27:09 And this really begins to fit better 27:11 where you don't have to do violence to scripture 27:13 or violence to science 27:17 or scientists tell us, 27:19 you know that those galaxies are, 27:20 you know, 13 billion light years away. 27:24 And that I will share with you 27:29 illustrates the goodness of God in Psalm 103, it says, 27:32 "As high as the heavens above the earth is," 27:35 that's how great God's mercy is." 27:36 We cannot comprehend 13 billion years. 27:39 13 billion light years away, we can't comprehend that, 27:42 but that's how great his mercy is to those that fear Him. 27:46 I want to thank you for watching 3ABN. 27:48 This gonna be an exciting series 27:50 and we'll see you next time. 27:53 Thank you. |
