0:00:03.060,0:00:05.200
Have you ever thought about it?

0:00:05.200,0:00:07.850
I mean really, what is the purpose to life?

0:00:07.850,0:00:10.389
Why are we here? Where did we come from?

0:00:10.389,0:00:14.740
For that matter, where are we going to go[br]when this life is over?

0:00:14.740,0:00:17.320
This seminar talks about the age of the earth.

0:00:17.320,0:00:21.970
Dr. Hovind gives solid evidence to show that[br]this earth is not billions of years old.

0:00:21.970,0:00:25.140
In fact, the evidence points towards a literal[br]six-day creation.

0:00:25.140,0:00:27.539
Just like we’re told about in Genesis chapter[br]one.

0:00:27.539,0:00:31.529
Hi, my name is Eric, and we hope you enjoy[br]this incredibly powerful seminar.

0:00:31.529,0:00:36.860
It is presented by Dr. Hovind. It’s called[br]“The Age of the Earth.”

0:00:36.860,0:00:43.640
Well, it is an honor to be here tonight in[br]Tennessee. My name is Kent Hovind.

0:00:43.640,0:00:48.140
I taught high school science for 15 years,[br]and now for 16 years I have been an evangelist

0:00:48.140,0:00:51.760
doing seminars on creation, evolution, and[br]dinosaurs.

0:00:51.760,0:00:56.940
And I tell people right up front that I believe[br]the Bible is the infallible, inspired, inerrant

0:00:56.940,0:00:58.070
Word of the Living God.

0:00:58.070,0:01:03.440
I believe it from cover to cover. I even believe[br]the cover on mine; it says: Kent Hovind.

0:01:03.440,0:01:07.530
And for those who don’t know, the Bible is[br]your Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.

0:01:07.530,0:01:10.259
You really ought to read the book because[br]you are going to be gone for an awfully long

0:01:10.259,0:01:10.880
time.

0:01:10.880,0:01:15.670
And when you leave here, there is no coming[br]back, so make sure you are going to the right

0:01:15.670,0:01:16.030
spot.

0:01:16.030,0:01:21.409
Now, one of my jobs as a Christian is “to[br]be ready always to give an answer to every

0:01:21.409,0:01:23.780
man that asketh a reason of the hope that[br]is in us.”

0:01:23.780,0:01:27.170
I think in the last few hundred years the[br]Christians have not done a good job of answering

0:01:27.170,0:01:29.219
this evolution theory.

0:01:29.219,0:01:31.950
And we’ve tolerated this philosophy of evolution[br]which is actually a religion.

0:01:31.950,0:01:35.840
We have allowed this religion to take over[br]our school system and our legal system.

0:01:35.840,0:01:41.119
Our whole thinking process now is based on[br]a philosophy which has zero scientific evidence.

0:01:41.119,0:01:41.950
None!

0:01:41.950,0:01:47.289
We’ve been offering $250,000 for anybody with[br]any real scientific evidence for evolution.

0:01:47.289,0:01:49.209
That offer has been out there for 12 years[br]now.

0:01:49.209,0:01:51.259
There is no real scientific evidence for it[br]whatsoever.

0:01:51.259,0:01:53.579
People believe in it, I understand; but that[br]doesn’t make it science.

0:01:53.579,0:01:56.149
Now, there are three things I try to accomplish[br]in my seminar.

0:01:56.149,0:01:58.569
Number one, I want to strengthen your faith[br]in the Word of God.

0:01:58.569,0:02:01.350
Number two, if you are not saved I want to[br]try to get you converted.

0:02:01.350,0:02:06.100
I’ll tell you right up front, I am after you.[br]I am not sneaking up on you - I am after you!

0:02:06.100,0:02:06.810
All right?

0:02:06.810,0:02:09.068
Number three, if you are saved and you are[br]not doing much for the Lord,

0:02:09.068,0:02:13.010
... then I am going to try to make you uncomfortable.[br]All right?

0:02:13.010,0:02:14.810
You know where we are going now.

0:02:14.810,0:02:21.580
OK, this is not my wife. That’s just a picture[br]of her.

0:02:21.580,0:02:25.200
Last summer was our 31st anniversary and we[br]sat down to figure out how much money we have

0:02:25.200,0:02:28.299
spent since we got married.

0:02:28.299,0:02:31.060
We have spent all of it.

0:02:31.060,0:02:34.709
We live in Pensacola, Florida - or what’s[br]left of it.

0:02:34.709,0:02:36.700
Hurricane Ivan about blew it off the map.

0:02:36.700,0:02:38.519
But we are having a good time rebuilding down[br]there.

0:02:38.519,0:02:43.150
I have three children, one of each. And I[br]got them all married off and the dog died,

0:02:43.150,0:02:44.370
so I made it. Praise God.

0:02:44.370,0:02:46.909
I am home free; it is wonderful.

0:02:46.909,0:02:49.500
And for those who don’t know, we now have[br]the whole family working in the ministry,

0:02:49.500,0:02:51.310
and I have four grandkids so far.

0:02:51.310,0:02:54.560
And for those that don’t understand this,[br]grandkids are God’s reward for not killing

0:02:54.560,0:02:57.189
your own kids when you thought about it.

0:02:57.189,0:03:00.890
How many have already figured that out? That’s[br]great, isn’t it?

0:03:00.890,0:03:04.049
All of them live right around me and work[br]in our ministry; they all want to serve God

0:03:04.049,0:03:04.709
with their lives.

0:03:04.709,0:03:06.200
That is worth something to somebody.

0:03:06.200,0:03:10.780
We have about 40 people in our ministry, and[br]we want to do things that will help strengthen

0:03:10.780,0:03:12.299
your faith in God’s Word.

0:03:12.299,0:03:13.799
We want to change people’s worldview.

0:03:13.799,0:03:19.030
There are two ways to look at this world.[br]That’s called your worldview. How do you view

0:03:19.030,0:03:20.159
this world?

0:03:20.159,0:03:22.829
Some people look at the world one way, and[br]some look at it another way. We’ll talk about

0:03:22.829,0:03:23.340
that in a minute.

0:03:23.340,0:03:27.030
But the way you view the world determines[br]how you answer the four great questions of

0:03:27.030,0:03:27.909
life.

0:03:27.909,0:03:31.579
There are four fundamental questions that[br]every single religion on planet earth tries

0:03:31.579,0:03:32.060
to answer.

0:03:32.060,0:03:37.810
Who am I? Where did I come from? Why am I[br]here? And where am I going when I die?

0:03:37.810,0:03:41.989
The way you answer those questions is totally[br]determined by your worldview.

0:03:41.989,0:03:45.640
Some people look at the world and say, “You[br]know, it’s amazing - a big bang made this

0:03:45.640,0:03:49.840
from nothing.” That’s the humanist worldview,[br]based on the evolution theory.

0:03:49.840,0:03:53.549
Other people look at the world and say, “You[br]know, there is an incredible design - there

0:03:53.549,0:03:59.230
must be a Designer!” That’s the creationist[br]worldview, based on creation.

0:03:59.230,0:04:05.650
And those two worldviews are at war with each[br]other. Somebody is wrong, and I enjoy showing

0:04:05.650,0:04:06.890
them who they are.

0:04:06.890,0:04:08.359
I’ve done a lot of debates, over 90.

0:04:08.359,0:04:11.700
92 debates now I’ve done at the universities;[br]one here at U.T. Knoxville against Dr. Pigliuchi.

0:04:11.700,0:04:15.769
I’ve debated him twice; I will be glad to[br]do it again. I don’t think he will, but I

0:04:15.769,0:04:16.339
would be honored.

0:04:16.339,0:04:20.130
The guys I debate are a lot smarter that I[br]am, but I slaughter them because I am right

0:04:20.130,0:04:23.400
and they are wrong. It’s real simple.

0:04:23.400,0:04:27.900
But if the evolution theory is true, how would[br]you answer the four great questions of life?

0:04:27.900,0:04:30.960
Who am I, and what am I worth?

0:04:30.960,0:04:34.750
Well, if evolution is true, you are nothing[br]important.

0:04:34.750,0:04:40.169
You are just a piece of protoplasm that washed[br]up on the beach; you are not worth a thing.

0:04:40.169,0:04:42.669
Actually you are part of the problem. You[br]see, because you are one of the polluters

0:04:42.669,0:04:46.740
of the environment, and the more of you we[br]can get rid of, the better.

0:04:46.740,0:04:50.840
See, that’s normal thinking if evolution is[br]true.

0:04:50.840,0:04:52.190
Where did I come from?

0:04:52.190,0:04:58.479
Well, if evolution is true, you came from[br]a cosmic burp about 20 billion years ago.

0:04:58.479,0:05:01.090
Why am I here? What’s the purpose of life?

0:05:01.090,0:05:05.220
Well, if evolution is true, there is no purpose[br]to life, so you might as well have fun. If

0:05:05.220,0:05:06.979
it feels good, do it.

0:05:06.979,0:05:09.759
Where am I going when I die?

0:05:09.759,0:05:13.069
Well, if evolution is true, you are going[br]to the grave and you are going to get recycled

0:05:13.069,0:05:15.240
into a worm, or a plant.

0:05:15.240,0:05:20.020
But see, the Bible says: “In the beginning[br]God created the heaven and the earth.”

0:05:20.020,0:05:24.509
Now if that’s true, that puts a whole different[br]set of answers to those questions.

0:05:24.509,0:05:27.639
That means we had better try to figure out[br]who God is and find out what He wants and

0:05:27.639,0:05:33.009
do what He says. Because He created this place,[br]which means He owns it, He makes the rules.

0:05:33.009,0:05:37.539
We had better find out what He wants. And[br]if you are not obeying His rules, you may

0:05:37.539,0:05:38.919
be in trouble one of these days.

0:05:38.919,0:05:41.800
We’ll get into more about that later.

0:05:41.800,0:05:45.490
The devil doesn’t like this idea that God[br]created the earth. The devil came to Eve in

0:05:45.490,0:05:46.479
the Garden of Eden.

0:05:46.479,0:05:52.789
The first thing he said to the woman was,[br]Eve, hath God said...? “Yea, hath God said?”

0:05:52.789,0:05:58.389
He is trying to raise doubts about God’s Word.

0:05:58.389,0:06:00.539
Satan always tries to raise doubts about God’s[br]Word.

0:06:00.539,0:06:07.539
That is one of the reasons that we’ve got[br]all this confusion on different Bible versions.

0:06:07.870,0:06:09.319
We cover more on that in video #7.

0:06:09.319,0:06:13.410
The second thing he said to the woman was,[br]“Ye shall not surely die.”

0:06:13.410,0:06:16.080
He is calling God a liar, basically.

0:06:16.080,0:06:18.830
The third thing he said to Eve is what I want[br]to talk to you about tonight.

0:06:18.830,0:06:25.430
He said, Eve, if you eat off of that tree,[br]ye shall be as gods.

0:06:25.430,0:06:29.389
And right there is where the whole idea of[br]evolution got started.

0:06:29.389,0:06:32.930
It didn’t start with Charlie Darwin; it started[br]with Satan in the Garden of Eden.

0:06:32.930,0:06:35.310
He wants you to think you can become a god.

0:06:35.310,0:06:40.129
Yes, boys and girls, we started like an amoeba,[br]and we are evolving. We are getting bigger

0:06:40.129,0:06:42.000
and better and stronger and smarter...

0:06:42.000,0:06:45.860
...and some day we are going to sail around[br]the universe and discover new life-forms,

0:06:45.860,0:06:48.430
like “Star Trek.”

0:06:48.430,0:06:50.979
People ask me all the time, they say, “Hovind,[br]do you think there is intelligent life on

0:06:50.979,0:06:51.729
other planets?”

0:06:51.729,0:06:57.729
I say, “No, I taught high school 15 years;[br]there is not much intelligent life on this

0:06:57.729,0:07:02.139
planet!” I didn’t get to see a whole lot of[br]it.

0:07:02.139,0:07:06.000
Satan’s a liar. He said that you can be like[br]God. I tell you what, the Mormon Church has

0:07:06.000,0:07:06.909
swallowed that.

0:07:06.909,0:07:09.490
They teach their people that if you are a[br]good Mormon, when you go to heaven you get

0:07:09.490,0:07:13.800
to become god. And if you’re a good Mormon[br]wife, when you go to heaven you get to be

0:07:13.800,0:07:16.389
eternally pregnant, producing spirit babies.

0:07:16.389,0:07:21.419
My wife doesn’t want to go. She said, “That’s[br]not heaven, honey.”

0:07:21.419,0:07:24.919
But there are some great books to reach Mormons[br]and a good Web site: www.utlm.org.

0:07:24.919,0:07:29.210
If you want to reach Mormons, you ought to[br]study that one.

0:07:29.210,0:07:32.750
I was surprised to find out a couple of years[br]ago some of the major Catholic theologians

0:07:32.750,0:07:35.909
of the past have taught that man can become[br]god.

0:07:35.909,0:07:38.099
It is still in their catechism right now.

0:07:38.099,0:07:41.050
Now most Catholics don’t believe that, and[br]they don’t even realize some of their leaders

0:07:41.050,0:07:42.750
have taught that.

0:07:42.750,0:07:48.150
But even Kenneth Copeland said, “Adam, in[br]the Garden of Eden, was god manifest in the

0:07:48.150,0:07:48.400
flesh.”

0:07:48.389,0:07:51.680
He said, “You don’t have a god in you; you[br]are one.”

0:07:51.680,0:07:54.639
I am sorry, Kenneth, you are crazy about that,[br]OK?

0:07:54.639,0:07:58.560
Kenneth Hagan said, “The believers are called[br]Christ; that’s who we are, we are Christ.”

0:07:58.560,0:08:03.080
No, you are crazy. The job is not available,[br]and you couldn’t do it if you had it.

0:08:03.080,0:08:08.129
You are not God, all right? Nor are you Christ.[br]Walk on water sometime; I want to see that.

0:08:08.129,0:08:10.180
Lucifer is the one who wants to be God.

0:08:10.180,0:08:14.680
Lucifer said, “I will ascend into heaven,[br]I will exalt my throne above the stars of

0:08:14.680,0:08:14.970
God: ...”

0:08:14.970,0:08:18.310
“I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation,[br]in the sides of the north, ...”

0:08:18.310,0:08:23.159
“...I will ascend above the heights of the[br]clouds: I will be like the most High.”

0:08:23.159,0:08:28.169
See, Satan wants to be God. But the job is[br]not available, so he is all upset about that.

0:08:28.169,0:08:35.169
Since he can’t be God, he lied to Eve and[br]told her she could be like God.

0:08:36.860,0:08:40.679
Satan hates us, though, because we are made[br]in God’s image.

0:08:40.679,0:08:44.300
And boy, Eve fell for that hook, line, and[br]sinker. “Wow, I get to be God!”

0:08:44.300,0:08:49.000
Hitler said, “If you tell a lie long enough[br]and loud enough and often enough, the people

0:08:49.000,0:08:54.180
will believe it.” He said they are more likely[br]to believe a big lie than a small one.

0:08:54.180,0:08:57.390
If you want to get somebody to believe a lie,[br]you have to do it like my two big brothers

0:08:57.390,0:08:58.200
did to me.

0:08:58.200,0:09:04.060
I have two older brothers; they have always[br]been older than I am. They still are today.

0:09:04.060,0:09:08.529
When I was about six years old, I was raised[br]in Peoria, Illinois.

0:09:08.529,0:09:11.690
By the way, I know I am in Tennessee, but[br]are there any more Yankees in the crowd? Any

0:09:11.690,0:09:12.890
Yankees out there?

0:09:12.890,0:09:17.610
Five, six, seven, OK. And how many Southerners[br]do we have?

0:09:17.610,0:09:18.660
Oh!

0:09:18.660,0:09:25.410
Well, just remember who won, if you would.[br]I know, ‘it ain’t over yet, right?’

0:09:25.410,0:09:27.589
But I was raised in East Peoria, Illinois,[br]in the North.

0:09:27.589,0:09:30.380
But I did move to Florida, as soon as I got[br]smart enough to figure out that the South

0:09:30.380,0:09:31.430
is going to rise again.

0:09:31.430,0:09:36.470
But when I was about six years old, I came[br]running in for breakfast one morning.

0:09:36.470,0:09:40.860
I was the first one there for breakfast; so[br]I got the last banana out of the bowl to put

0:09:40.860,0:09:42.010
on my cereal.

0:09:42.010,0:09:45.480
Well, a few minutes later my two big brothers[br]came in.

0:09:45.480,0:09:52.000
They said, “Hey, Kent, is that the last banana?”[br]I said, “Yep, and I got it.”

0:09:52.000,0:09:55.430
How many of you have an older brother or sister?

0:09:55.430,0:09:59.300
You know that wonderful feeling you get when[br]you finally pull one over on them?

0:09:59.300,0:10:01.800
Boy, that morning I had them, and I knew it.

0:10:01.800,0:10:06.120
They wanted my banana. But big brothers do[br]not beg little brothers for anything.

0:10:06.120,0:10:10.470
They either beat them up and take it away[br]by brute force, or they lie to them and trick

0:10:10.470,0:10:11.639
them out of it somehow.

0:10:11.639,0:10:14.820
So my brothers said, “Hey, Kent, do you know[br]how bananas are made?”

0:10:14.820,0:10:16.769
I said, “No.”

0:10:16.769,0:10:22.000
I was only six years old, and it’s been proven[br]in laboratory tests that the brain doesn’t

0:10:22.000,0:10:25.540
even start to grow until kids are 18 to 20.

0:10:25.540,0:10:30.760
How many parents can verify that from raising[br]kids? I said “No, how are bananas made?”

0:10:30.760,0:10:33.510
And they said, “Well, down in the South America,[br]they have these spiders that live up in the

0:10:33.510,0:10:38.380
trees, and when they die all their legs fold[br]up, and mold begins to grow on the dead spider

0:10:38.380,0:10:39.350
legs.

0:10:39.350,0:10:41.850
And a banana is really nothing but moldy spider[br]legs.”

0:10:41.850,0:10:47.230
I said, “You guys are lying to me. You just[br]want this banana because you know it’s the

0:10:47.230,0:10:48.019
last one.”

0:10:48.019,0:10:49.870
They said, “No brother, we are not lying.

0:10:49.870,0:10:53.040
You cut that thing in half and look in the[br]middle; you can still see the black spots

0:10:53.040,0:10:59.260
where his legs were.”

0:10:59.260,0:11:03.860
I did not eat bananas for nearly three years[br]after that.

0:11:03.860,0:11:07.779
They lied to me. Have you ever been lied to[br]before?

0:11:07.779,0:11:10.750
I would not have believed the lie if it hadn’t[br]been for those black spots.

0:11:10.750,0:11:15.370
See, if you want to get somebody to believe[br]a lie, you have to mix it with some truth.

0:11:15.370,0:11:19.029
That’s a technique they have used for years[br]to kill rats. You don’t give the rat a bowl

0:11:19.029,0:11:23.810
of poison. You give the rat a bowl of good[br]food with a little poison mixed in.

0:11:23.810,0:11:26.769
They are mixing two things together that really[br]do not belong together.

0:11:26.769,0:11:32.889
See, rat poison is 99.995% good food. That’s[br]how you trick them.

0:11:32.889,0:11:36.100
They’ve done the same thing for years to sell[br]Marlboro cigarettes.

0:11:36.100,0:11:39.170
They mix them in with cowboys.

0:11:39.170,0:11:42.170
You can watch any Marlboro commercial; there[br]is something about a cowboy in there.

0:11:42.170,0:11:44.889
Have you stopped and thought about that?

0:11:44.889,0:11:50.290
What is the connection between smoking Marlboro[br]and cowboys? Do all cowboys smoke Marlboro?

0:11:50.290,0:11:54.540
No. Do you have to smoke to be a cowboy? No.

0:11:54.540,0:11:59.829
If you start smoking Marlboro, do you become[br]a cowboy automatically? No.

0:11:59.829,0:12:02.420
You may smell like a horse, but you are not[br]a cowboy. OK?

0:12:02.420,0:12:06.880
Actually it has been proven in laboratory[br]tests that nobody in the world smokes. Nobody

0:12:06.880,0:12:07.130
smokes!

0:12:07.070,0:12:11.990
Only the cigarette smokes; the person is the[br]“sucker.” That’s all. I think they ought to

0:12:11.990,0:12:15.230
put the real names on those things. We ought[br]to have some truth in advertising.

0:12:15.230,0:12:18.639
They should really be calling them: Cancerettes,[br]Breath Rotters, By-pass, Malignant, Phlegm

0:12:18.639,0:12:20.339
Balls, and Money Suckers.

0:12:20.339,0:12:22.930
They do the same thing with beer.

0:12:22.930,0:12:28.820
They try to associate beer with sports. What[br]does beer have to do with sports?

0:12:28.820,0:12:33.130
They get some big football player holding[br]his can of Bud Dumber, or Bud Stupid.

0:12:33.130,0:12:37.040
They call it “Budweiser”; it doesn’t make[br]them any wiser though, that’s for sure.

0:12:37.040,0:12:40.190
He’s got some Bud Dumber, or Miller Low Life,[br]or Dead Dog, whatever it is.

0:12:40.190,0:12:44.040
He says, man, you drink this stuff, and you[br]will be a football player. Yeah, right!

0:12:44.040,0:12:47.100
The Bible says if you drink that stuff, you[br]will wreck your life.

0:12:47.100,0:12:50.279
“Who hath woe? Who hath wounds without cause?

0:12:50.279,0:12:54.820
They that tarry long at the wine.” The Bible[br]says, don’t even look at it when it gets fermented.

0:12:54.820,0:13:00.779
Habakkuk says, “Woe unto him that giveth his[br]neighbor drink.” There is a lot in the Bible

0:13:00.779,0:13:02.500
about not even touching that stuff.

0:13:02.500,0:13:04.269
One kid said to me one time, “What’s the matter,[br]Hovind, don’t you like beer?”

0:13:04.269,0:13:08.980
I said, “I don’t know. I have never tasted[br]it. I am 52 years old, and I’ve never had

0:13:08.980,0:13:13.959
a drop in my life!” (Well, I’ve had Nyquil[br]a couple of times.)

0:13:13.959,0:13:15.880
He said, “How do you know that you won’t like[br]it, if you don’t try it?”

0:13:15.880,0:13:19.149
I said, “Now son, that’s a brilliant way to[br]live your life.”

0:13:19.149,0:13:22.949
Let me ask you a question, son. Have you ever[br]laid your head under a semi truck?

0:13:22.949,0:13:27.740
Well, how do you know you won’t like it if[br]you don’t try it?

0:13:27.740,0:13:31.399
You don’t have to try everything to figure[br]out if it’s good or bad.

0:13:31.399,0:13:35.079
There are other ways to learn - like watching[br]somebody else do it.

0:13:35.079,0:13:37.350
Wow, don’t do that; that will hurt.

0:13:37.350,0:13:43.660
Like the redneck’s famous last words: “Hey[br]you all, watch this!”

0:13:43.660,0:13:46.310
I like science, folks; I collect science books.

0:13:46.310,0:13:49.720
There is a lot of good science in these books,[br]but there is some poison mixed with it.

0:13:49.720,0:13:56.720
It’s kind of like the rat poison. It’s not[br]good food [br]I am against, it’s the poison!

0:14:11.829,0:14:18.829
I need a boy and [br]a girl who would like to learn the scientific[br]way to shoot a rubber band.

0:14:44.250,0:14:48.139
Who would like to learn? OK, that boy right[br]there, come up here. And one girl, let’s get

0:14:48.139,0:14:50.910
one girl, come on.

0:14:50.910,0:14:52.720
Way back there. OK, hurry up, run!

0:14:52.720,0:14:56.519
All right, the scientific way to shoot a rubber[br]band.

0:14:56.519,0:15:01.899
What’s your name sir?... Josh, How old are[br]you Josh?... I was ten for a whole year one

0:15:01.899,0:15:03.699
time. That’s amazing.

0:15:03.699,0:15:07.100
I was supposed to be eleven but I was sick[br]for three years when I was two and a half.

0:15:07.100,0:15:12.579
And how old are you going to be when you are[br]almost twelve? “Eleven.”

0:15:12.579,0:15:14.839
And how much does your mom pay you to be good?

0:15:14.839,0:15:21.310
So you are good for nothing, and you are ten.[br]Pick a rubber band out of here, Josh.

0:15:21.310,0:15:22.459
OK, the brown one. And what’s your name, ma’am?[br]“Laura.”

0:15:22.459,0:15:25.850
Laura? Pick a rubber band out of there, Laura.

0:15:25.850,0:15:27.870
You want the pink one of course; a girl one.[br]OK.

0:15:27.870,0:15:29.790
Here’s what I want you to do, Josh and Laura.

0:15:29.790,0:15:34.910
We are going to stand here and shoot a rubber[br]band down the center aisle. Go ahead.

0:15:34.910,0:15:36.779
That one won’t work; that’s a double one.[br]Here, let me try it.

0:15:36.779,0:15:39.540
Try an orange one, here. That’s two tied together;[br]I didn’t see that.

0:15:39.540,0:15:45.870
OK, Josh, shoot the rubber band down the center[br]isle. Past the table; not too far.

0:15:45.870,0:15:51.839
Laura, give it a try; come on. Oh, three[br]rows back.

0:15:51.839,0:15:54.699
Now, watch carefully; I’m going to get down[br]to the same size as you guys, and I am going

0:15:54.699,0:15:56.610
to show the scientific way to shoot a rubber[br]band.

0:15:56.610,0:16:00.730
Are you ready for this? Now, I want you to[br]notice that my fingers do not leave my hand

0:16:00.730,0:16:04.370
at any time.

0:16:04.370,0:16:06.639
You believe that? OK now, pay attention.

0:16:06.639,0:16:13.639
See the guy sitting way in the back of the[br]church? Ah, about three fourths of the way

0:16:14.540,0:16:15.009
there.

0:16:15.009,0:16:20.459
Probably, right about now you are thinking[br]of a question that has five words in it.

0:16:20.459,0:16:24.230
What question are you thinking of? How do[br]you do that?

0:16:24.230,0:16:26.190
See, I told you it had five words in it, right?

0:16:26.190,0:16:30.380
Now, before I show you how to do this, I want[br]to explain something.

0:16:30.380,0:16:36.360
Some kids should not learn how to do some[br]things, because they become what’s known as

0:16:36.360,0:16:39.170
a menace to society.

0:16:39.170,0:16:42.880
Who’s responsible for this kid right here?[br]Where’s your mom & dad? Is he safe with this

0:16:42.880,0:16:47.740
information? Ha, ha. Mom says no!

0:16:47.740,0:16:51.410
And who’s responsible for this one here, where[br]is... Nobody?

0:16:51.410,0:16:56.430
Oh, back there. Did your husband come? No.

0:16:56.430,0:17:01.610
OK now, pay attention- the scientific way[br]to shoot a rubber band.

0:17:01.610,0:17:06.089
There are two sides to a rubber band. Are[br]you with me so far?

0:17:06.089,0:17:10.890
One side represents your flesh, that’s your[br]body. And the other side represents your spirit.

0:17:10.890,0:17:15.220
Now your spirit has to live in your flesh,[br]or else you are dead.

0:17:15.220,0:17:19.760
If your spirit ever leaves your flesh, you’ve[br]got a real problem on your hands! (Actually

0:17:19.760,0:17:21.349
the neighbors do.)

0:17:21.349,0:17:24.420
But what most people do wrong in rubber band[br]shooting, and in real life, is they put the

0:17:24.420,0:17:27.040
same emphasis on the flesh and the spirit.

0:17:27.040,0:17:32.780
See, if you pull both sides the same and let[br]it fly, if you could watch it in slow motion,

0:17:32.780,0:17:36.480
both sides are going

0:17:36.480,0:17:40.290
And all the energy is wasted inside the rubber[br]band because the flesh and the spirit are

0:17:40.290,0:17:41.900
fighting with each other.

0:17:41.900,0:17:46.420
So, the secret to high-speed velocity through[br]a fluid medium such as the atmosphere ...

0:17:46.420,0:17:53.420
... which offers resistance, is to minimize[br]or eliminate the turbulence. OK?

0:17:55.040,0:17:59.780
All I did when you guys weren’t watching,[br]was stretch one side tighter than the other.

0:17:59.780,0:18:05.960
One side is tight.

0:18:05.960,0:18:12.710
Now pay attention to what’s going to happen.[br]If you do it right, the spirit leads the flesh,

0:18:12.710,0:18:16.610
takes away most of the turbulence, and it[br]goes much farther.

0:18:16.610,0:18:22.630
Got the guy in the back row! So when I am[br]up here with a whole pile of rubber bands,

0:18:22.630,0:18:22.630
...

0:18:22.630,0:18:28.060
... knowing I can hit anybody in the room,[br]it gives you this feeling of power ...

0:18:28.060,0:18:30.450
...that some kids really just don’t know how[br]to handle; do you know what I’m talking about?

0:18:30.450,0:18:34.140
You are thinking about it right now, aren’t[br]you? Yes, I thought so. Let’s give them a

0:18:34.140,0:18:41.140
hand; have a seat, guys. Thank you so much.

0:18:41.410,0:18:45.160
The Bible says, “the flesh lusteth against[br]the Spirit, the Spirit against the flesh;

0:18:45.160,0:18:46.650
they are contrary one to the other.”

0:18:46.650,0:18:50.640
This is why some of you won’t go very far[br]in your spiritual life. You feed the flesh

0:18:50.640,0:18:51.630
too much.

0:18:51.630,0:18:56.680
Shut off the TV once in a while...Simple.[br]Wait until you see our super airplanes go.

0:18:56.680,0:18:58.520
Tomorrow we are going to show you our super[br]airplanes.

0:18:58.520,0:19:03.300
I make paper airplanes that go so far, that[br]if they don’t land in a tree or on a building,

0:19:03.300,0:19:07.180
they go all the way to the ground.

0:19:07.180,0:19:09.060
Our record with the paper airplane is 450[br]feet.

0:19:09.060,0:19:14.440
We are going to put them completely over the[br]building including the steeple, tomorrow.

0:19:14.440,0:19:18.840
We like science. We are not against science,[br]but I am against poison mixed in with the

0:19:18.840,0:19:21.530
science, That’s all. Here is a first grade[br]textbook.

0:19:21.530,0:19:26.010
This is what they tell the kids in the first[br]grade. Earth has changed much since its formation

0:19:26.010,0:19:30.980
four and a half billion years ago. Now just[br]hold on a minute.

0:19:30.980,0:19:36.570
Is the earth four and a half billion years[br]old? No, as we’ll see in a minute. But if

0:19:36.570,0:19:40.270
you tell that to a first grader, he’s going[br]to believe you.

0:19:40.270,0:19:44.400
First graders believe everything you tell[br]them. They believe bananas are moldy spider

0:19:44.400,0:19:45.740
legs. I did.

0:19:45.740,0:19:48.830
And they tell them again in the second grade.

0:19:48.830,0:19:54.890
Since its formation 4.5 billion years ago,[br]earth has changed. Down at the bottom it says:

0:19:54.890,0:19:57.690
“Life too, has evolved on earth.”

0:19:57.690,0:20:00.120
This word “evolved” is a very tricky word.

0:20:00.120,0:20:04.540
I’ve done over 90 debates and about 7,000[br]radio and TV call-in talk shows, and I’ve

0:20:04.540,0:20:08.030
learned how to win the debate on evolution[br]in the first five minutes.

0:20:08.030,0:20:13.730
It is so easy. If somebody says, “Do you believe[br]in evolution?” I say, “What do you mean?”

0:20:13.730,0:20:15.350
“Well, you know, evolution.”

0:20:15.350,0:20:19.060
“No, which one are you talking about?” There[br]are six meanings for the word. Are we talking

0:20:19.060,0:20:23.470
about cosmic evolution- evolution of time,[br]space, matter? I don’t believe in that, with

0:20:23.470,0:20:25.640
the big bang. We’ll talk about that in a minute.

0:20:25.640,0:20:29.630
Are we talking about chemical evolution? Because[br]according to the big bang theory, the big

0:20:29.630,0:20:32.700
bang produced hydrogen, and maybe some helium.

0:20:32.700,0:20:37.780
Then how did we get all these other elements?[br]Do you want me to believe uranium evolved

0:20:37.780,0:20:38.560
from hydrogen?

0:20:38.560,0:20:43.550
They’ll say, well yes, you have fusion in[br]stars. Yes, but you can’t fuse past IRON (Fe)

0:20:43.550,0:20:44.060
very well.

0:20:44.060,0:20:47.880
Besides, you have a chicken and an egg problem[br]here, because the stars have to make the elements,

0:20:47.880,0:20:51.260
and the elements have to make the stars. Which[br]one came first?

0:20:51.260,0:20:54.860
Which brings up, of course, stellar evolution.[br]How did the stars form?

0:20:54.860,0:20:58.200
Did you know that nobody has ever seen a star[br]form?

0:20:58.200,0:21:02.630
Scientists don’t even have a clue how a star[br]could form- not even any good theories about

0:21:02.630,0:21:05.930
star formation (more about that in video #7).

0:21:05.930,0:21:10.150
We see stars blow up all the time. It’s called[br]a nova, or a super nova if it is a big one.

0:21:10.150,0:21:13.400
That happens all the time. But we never see[br]one form.

0:21:13.400,0:21:17.370
And yet there are enough stars out there that[br]we know about that everybody on planet earth,

0:21:17.370,0:21:24.370
every single individual, can personally own[br]11 trillion stars to themselves.

0:21:24.670,0:21:29.000
Those are the ones we know about. We don’t[br]know about the ones that we don’t know about.

0:21:29.000,0:21:33.770
Fourthly, there would have to be organic evolution,[br]origin of life. Life would have to be started

0:21:33.770,0:21:35.320
from non-living material.

0:21:35.320,0:21:40.470
Nobody has a clue how that could happen. Then[br]we would have to have what’s called macroevolution.

0:21:40.470,0:21:43.260
That’s where an animal changes to a different[br]kind of animal.

0:21:43.260,0:21:49.370
Did you know that nobody has ever seen a dog[br]produce a non-dog? Never!

0:21:49.370,0:21:53.860
You may get a big dog, or a little dog, but[br]you are going to get a dog every time. And

0:21:53.860,0:21:57.100
it could be that the dog, the wolf, and the[br]coyote had a common ancestor.

0:21:57.100,0:22:01.710
I wouldn’t argue about that - they probably[br]did. But every five-year-old kid knows they’re

0:22:01.710,0:22:04.670
the same kind of animal. I’ll show you.

0:22:04.670,0:22:07.280
Is anybody in here five or six? Who is five[br]or six years old? Anybody?

0:22:07.280,0:22:14.280
OK. How old are you, buddy? Six? I want you[br]to take a test.

0:22:17.300,0:22:21.450
Here we have a dog, a wolf, a coyote, and[br]a banana.

0:22:21.450,0:22:24.720
Which one is different than the rest of them?

0:22:24.720,0:22:29.660
The banana! Give him a hand! All right, very[br]good!

0:22:29.660,0:22:34.270
We have college professors that can’t figure[br]that out! I’ll tell you want I want you to

0:22:34.270,0:22:34.520
do.

0:22:34.380,0:22:36.800
When we are done, I want you to go out to[br]the table out in the hallway, and you can

0:22:36.800,0:22:40.110
pick out any free video or DVD you want, OK?

0:22:40.110,0:22:43.240
We’ve got a bunch of videos and DVDs about[br]dinosaurs and stuff out there.

0:22:43.240,0:22:49.040
The Bible says the animals are going to bring[br]forth after their kind. Now Charlie Darwin

0:22:49.040,0:22:55.010
wrote a book on the table down here called[br]“Origin of Species.” See, the dog and the

0:22:55.010,0:22:59.140
wolf are the same kind of animal but different[br]species.

0:22:59.140,0:23:02.040
He fooled everybody by changing the word from[br]“kind” to “species.”

0:23:02.040,0:23:07.660
We’ll talk more about that in video #4. Lastly,[br]we have what is called microevolution.

0:23:07.660,0:23:12.080
This is changes within the kinds. Now that[br]one happens. I’ll go along with number six.

0:23:12.080,0:23:16.470
I think animals can produce a whole variety[br]of offspring: long hair, short hair, long

0:23:16.470,0:23:18.880
legged, short legged; that happens.

0:23:18.880,0:23:22.120
But the first five are purely religious. That’s[br]not science.

0:23:22.120,0:23:26.360
We never observe any of those! So if you want[br]to win the debate on evolution, simply define

0:23:26.360,0:23:28.990
exactly what you are talking about.

0:23:28.990,0:23:34.430
And you’ll find all they ever give are examples[br]of number six, which there is no argument

0:23:34.430,0:23:35.290
about. It happens.

0:23:35.290,0:23:40.110
But then they’ll imply that that is somehow,[br]magically, evidence for the other five. And

0:23:40.110,0:23:42.080
it is not.

0:23:42.080,0:23:45.230
The teachers are taught though to be sure[br]to stress to the students that the earth is

0:23:45.230,0:23:47.290
billions of years old.

0:23:47.290,0:23:52.650
Make sure the kids believe this. You know,[br]I happen to be a little old fashioned.

0:23:52.650,0:23:54.810
I think in science class, we should be teaching[br]science.

0:23:54.810,0:24:00.450
Science includes things we can observe, study,[br]test, and demonstrate. Things like the first

0:24:00.450,0:24:02.800
law of thermodynamics.

0:24:02.800,0:24:07.170
The first law of thermodynamics tells us,[br]“Matter cannot be created or destroyed.”

0:24:07.170,0:24:12.370
Well, everything is made out of matter; so[br]if matter cannot be created or destroyed,

0:24:12.370,0:24:14.390
then how did the world get here?

0:24:14.390,0:24:18.700
We are here, you know. So that leaves only[br]two choices.

0:24:18.700,0:24:24.800
Somebody made the world; or the world made[br]itself. There is no other choice.

0:24:24.800,0:24:28.700
Well, there are a few out there on the lunatic[br]fringe, who will tell you, “We are not really

0:24:28.700,0:24:32.670
here at all; we just think we are here.”

0:24:32.670,0:24:35.800
OK, you can forget about those folks. We are[br]here.

0:24:35.800,0:24:39.720
So, either somebody made the world, like the[br]Bible says, God created it; or the world just

0:24:39.720,0:24:41.620
made itself, like the humanists believe.

0:24:41.620,0:24:47.220
It just is self existing and not created.[br]Well, if the world just made itself, how could

0:24:47.220,0:24:48.590
this happen?

0:24:48.590,0:24:52.360
Boy, the devil thought about that for a long[br]time. Finally, one day, he came up with the

0:24:52.360,0:24:54.220
big bang theory.

0:24:54.220,0:24:56.650
How many of you have ever heard of the big[br]bang theory before?

0:24:56.650,0:25:00.590
I was on an airplane years ago, flying from[br]Dallas to San Francisco. And I happened to

0:25:00.590,0:25:03.490
sit right next to a professor from Berkeley,[br]U Cal Berkeley.

0:25:03.490,0:25:08.370
I don’t know if you folks in Knoxville have[br]ever heard of Berkeley or not, but Berkeley

0:25:08.370,0:25:10.680
is not a Bible college.

0:25:10.680,0:25:15.830
So here I was on the airplane about that far[br]away from this guy, and we started talking

0:25:15.830,0:25:18.700
about creation and evolution.

0:25:18.700,0:25:23.600
Everybody I sit by on the airplane wants to[br]talk about that, so I talk about it with them.

0:25:23.600,0:25:26.710
He said he believed in evolution. I said,[br]“Yes, sir, I figured that; you have to if

0:25:26.710,0:25:27.560
you teach at Berkeley.”

0:25:27.560,0:25:31.330
I said, “Tell me, sir, if you believe in evolution,[br]how did the world get here?”

0:25:31.330,0:25:37.370
He said, “Oh, it came from the big bang.”[br]I said, “Really? I’d like to hear about this!”

0:25:37.370,0:25:40.220
He said, “You are a science teacher and you[br]have never heard of the big bang?”

0:25:40.220,0:25:44.780
I said, “Oh, yes sir, I’ve heard a lot about[br]the big bang, and I believe in the big bang.

0:25:44.780,0:25:47.140
But my big bang is a lot different than yours.”

0:25:47.140,0:25:50.870
I said, “You tell me about your big bang,[br]and then I’ll tell you about my big bang.”

0:25:50.870,0:25:54.870
And so, the professor took off on one of those[br]answers that looked like it came straight

0:25:54.870,0:25:55.970
from the textbook.

0:25:55.970,0:26:02.970
He said, “Well, Mr. Hovind, I believe about[br]18 to 20 billion years ago...” (that’s a long

0:26:03.540,0:26:04.300
time)

0:26:04.300,0:26:10.290
“...all the matter in the universe...” (that’s[br]a lot of stuff)

0:26:10.290,0:26:14.460
By the way, the word “universe” comes from[br]two Latin words: “uni,” which means single,

0:26:14.460,0:26:17.200
and “verse” which means a spoken sentence.

0:26:17.200,0:26:23.320
Did you know we live in a single spoken sentence?[br]God said, “Let there be....” That’ll preach.

0:26:23.320,0:26:27.590
There is a sermon someplace right there, OK?[br]And if your pastor can’t find it, he’s got

0:26:27.590,0:26:29.110
no preaching in him at all!

0:26:29.110,0:26:35.210
“All the matter in the uni-verse was concentrated[br]into one very dense, very hot region, that

0:26:35.210,0:26:42.210
may have been much smaller than a period on[br]this page.” Say what?

0:26:44.050,0:26:47.870
Everything in the universe squished into a[br]dot smaller than a period on a page?

0:26:47.870,0:26:53.110
Wow! That’s one crowded dot. And heavy, too.

0:26:53.110,0:26:56.330
But that’s not the first time this happened,[br]boys and girls.

0:26:56.330,0:27:00.320
This textbook says: “Some day, after many[br]billions of years, all the matter and energy

0:27:00.320,0:27:04.720
will once again be packed into a small area[br]no larger than the period at the end of this

0:27:04.720,0:27:06.780
sentence. Then another big bang will occur.”

0:27:06.780,0:27:13.780
“It happens every 80 to 100 billion years.”[br]Can you believe they cut down a tree to print

0:27:14.490,0:27:16.910
that?

0:27:16.910,0:27:23.910
Where is Al Gore when you need him? That’s[br]what I want to know, yeah!

0:27:24.010,0:27:29.150
And why did you guys send Al Gore to Washington?[br]You had him here, you know.

0:27:29.150,0:27:33.420
Now, this textbook author was brilliant. I[br]could not believe how smart this guy was.

0:27:33.420,0:27:40.210
He said, “Boys and girls, nothing really means[br]nothing.” You have to be at least that smart

0:27:40.210,0:27:42.250
to write a book.

0:27:42.250,0:27:46.130
He said, “Not only matter and energy would[br]disappear, but also space and time.

0:27:46.130,0:27:51.430
However, physicists theorize that from this[br]state of nothingness, the universe began in

0:27:51.430,0:27:53.700
a gigantic explosion.” What?

0:27:53.700,0:28:00.700
Yes, boys and girls, you see, one day, nothing[br]exploded...

0:28:01.670,0:28:08.670
...And here we are! We can spend three days[br]talking about the big bang theory.

0:28:09.110,0:28:12.370
They used to say that the thing that exploded[br]was a few light-years in diameter. Then they

0:28:12.370,0:28:17.340
said, “Oh no, it’s only 275 million miles.”[br]And then they said, “It’s only 71 million

0:28:17.340,0:28:17.650
miles.”

0:28:17.650,0:28:22.510
They keep getting it smaller, and now they[br]are saying “nothing” exploded.

0:28:22.510,0:28:25.660
A couple years ago “Discover Magazine” here[br]said, “Where did everything come from?”

0:28:25.660,0:28:32.130
“Boys and girls, the universe burst into something[br]from absolutely nothing - zero, nada.

0:28:32.130,0:28:36.490
As it got bigger, it became filled with even[br]more stuff that came from absolutely nowhere.

0:28:36.490,0:28:38.370
How is that possible? Ask Alan Guth.

0:28:38.370,0:28:43.340
His theory will explain everything.” Wow,[br]I’ve got to meet this Alan Guth guy.

0:28:43.340,0:28:47.750
Alan Guth said in “Scientific American,” “The[br]observable universe could have evolved from

0:28:47.750,0:28:53.340
an infinitesimal region.” (In the Hebrew,[br]that’s “a dot.”)

0:28:53.340,0:28:56.770
He said, “It’s then tempting to go one step[br]further and speculate that the entire universe

0:28:56.770,0:29:01.840
evolved from literally nothing.” You see,[br]boys and girls, we all came from a dot and

0:29:01.840,0:29:03.680
the dot came from nothing.

0:29:03.680,0:29:08.040
And they call that science, and put it in[br]a science journal?

0:29:08.040,0:29:12.960
I think I’d call that a fairy tale and put[br]it in the garbage.

0:29:12.960,0:29:16.590
I said, “Professor, what happened to your[br]dot?”

0:29:16.590,0:29:20.140
He said, “Hovind, 20 billion years ago all[br]the dirt in the solar system was drawn into

0:29:20.140,0:29:21.600
this little, bitty, tiny dot.

0:29:21.600,0:29:27.610
And it was spinning. It spun faster, and faster,[br]and all of a sudden, it exploded: big bang!

0:29:27.610,0:29:32.690
And the pieces that flew off became galaxies,[br]and sun, moon, stars, and here we are. People.”

0:29:32.690,0:29:33.970
Nothing but stardust.

0:29:33.970,0:29:37.400
I said, “Sir, can I ask you a couple of questions,[br]please?”

0:29:37.400,0:29:39.600
He said, “Sure, what do you want to know?”

0:29:39.600,0:29:43.740
You know, we’ve got a three-hour flight sitting[br]this far away from each other on the airplane.

0:29:43.740,0:29:47.300
I said, “Well sir, I’ve got a question. You[br]said that 20 billion years ago, all the dirt

0:29:47.300,0:29:51.720
got together for a big squish, a big spin,[br]and a big bang. Where did all the dirt come

0:29:51.720,0:29:55.820
from?” You know, who made matter? He said,[br]“We don’t know.”

0:29:55.820,0:30:01.010
I said, “OK now sir, hold it. If I told you[br]what I believe, that about 6,000 years ago

0:30:01.010,0:30:05.000
God created the heaven and the earth, then[br]you are going to say, ‘and where did God come

0:30:05.000,0:30:06.940
from?’ And I have no idea.”

0:30:06.940,0:30:11.470
But you said, 20 billion years ago there was[br]a big bang; and you don’t know where the dirt

0:30:11.470,0:30:12.280
came from.

0:30:12.280,0:30:16.960
So basically, I believe: “In the beginning,[br]God”; and you believe: “In the beginning,

0:30:16.960,0:30:18.250
dirt.”

0:30:18.250,0:30:23.570
Don’t tell me my theory is religious, and[br]your theory is scientific. No, no, no!

0:30:23.570,0:30:28.270
They are both religious. The news media tries[br]to make it look like it is science versus

0:30:28.270,0:30:29.890
religion.

0:30:29.890,0:30:33.210
It’s not science versus religion; these are[br]two religions.

0:30:33.210,0:30:34.960
Evolution and creation are both religious.

0:30:34.960,0:30:38.640
You have to believe in one or the other.

0:30:38.640,0:30:42.610
The difference is the evolution religion is[br]tax supported.

0:30:42.610,0:30:44.600
That’s the difference - one of many differences.

0:30:44.600,0:30:47.830
By the way, these two time lines are the same[br]thing right here, behind me.

0:30:47.830,0:30:51.590
On the top time line, every inch represents[br]150 years.

0:30:51.590,0:30:57.500
Abe Lincoln was not even president one inch[br]ago.

0:30:57.500,0:31:01.590
If I was to show you what 20 billion years[br]looks like at the same scale as the top chart...

0:31:01.590,0:31:04.790
(...I have to have this chart on the bottom[br]to be this scale...)

0:31:04.790,0:31:09.110
...This one would have to be 2,100 miles long.

0:31:09.110,0:31:12.400
That’s from Pensacola to Portland, Oregon.

0:31:12.400,0:31:15.740
I don’t want to carry a chart that big, so[br]I made a new scale for the other one.

0:31:15.740,0:31:17.800
The professor said that he did not know where[br]the matter came from.

0:31:17.800,0:31:19.840
So I said, “Sir, can you tell me where the[br]laws came from?”

0:31:19.840,0:31:25.690
This universe is run by laws. Gravity, centrifugal[br]force, inertia, Boyle’s law, Cole’s law (You

0:31:25.690,0:31:26.770
can eat that with potato salad).

0:31:26.770,0:31:30.920
There are all kinds of laws in the universe.[br]Where did the laws come from?

0:31:30.920,0:31:34.990
And by the way, why aren’t the laws still[br]evolving? Do you ever think about that?

0:31:34.990,0:31:40.480
Why is gravity always the same? Why don’t[br]you weigh 10 pounds more one day? (You say,

0:31:40.480,0:31:41.480
“I do!”

0:31:41.480,0:31:46.710
Well, that’s for a different reason.) Where[br]did the energy come from? Who bought the gas

0:31:46.710,0:31:49.280
to run this machine?

0:31:49.280,0:31:53.400
The professor said, “I don’t know; we don’t[br]know any of those things.” I said, “Can I

0:31:53.400,0:31:54.330
ask you another question?”

0:31:54.330,0:31:58.210
He said, “Sure. What else would you like to[br]know?”

0:31:58.210,0:32:01.560
Else? What do you mean, what else? you haven’t[br]told me anything yet.

0:32:01.560,0:32:06.040
I said, “Sir, does Berkeley have a merry-go-round?”

0:32:06.040,0:32:08.760
How many of you know what a merry-go-round[br]is? You go round and round, until you throw

0:32:08.760,0:32:09.050
up.

0:32:09.050,0:32:12.530
He said, “No, we don’t have a merry-go-round[br]at Berkeley.”

0:32:12.530,0:32:14.020
I said, “You really ought to get one.

0:32:14.020,0:32:16.670
You could learn some good science on a merry-go-round.”

0:32:16.670,0:32:20.100
If you put some fourth graders on there...[br]Any fourth graders in here?

0:32:20.100,0:32:22.300
Last year or next year fourth graders. I know[br]it’s summertime here.

0:32:22.300,0:32:26.290
All right! I like fourth graders; I spent[br]the best five years of my life in a fourth

0:32:26.290,0:32:26.820
grade.

0:32:26.820,0:32:32.470
(That was before they diagnosed ADD. By the[br]time my brother was in the fourth grade, we

0:32:32.470,0:32:35.540
all knew what he was going to be when he finished[br]high school - 32!)

0:32:35.540,0:32:41.150
Well, we are going to put some fourth graders[br]on a merry-go-round and get the high school

0:32:41.150,0:32:45.650
football team out there to get it spinning[br]clockwise, as fast as it will possibly go.

0:32:45.650,0:32:51.750
Now if you have a digital watch, you may not[br]know what clockwise means. ...I’ll tell you

0:32:51.750,0:32:52.130
later.

0:32:52.130,0:32:56.390
We are going to spin the merry-go-round clockwise,[br]and the kids are going to go through four

0:32:56.390,0:32:56.670
phases.

0:32:56.670,0:32:59.670
They start off in phase one, where they’re[br]screaming at the football players, “Come on,

0:32:59.670,0:33:02.510
let’s go faster! Faster! Can’t you go any[br]faster?”

0:33:02.510,0:33:06.180
You get up around 30 miles an hour, and the[br]kids enter phase two, where they stop screaming.

0:33:06.180,0:33:10.310
They just quietly concentrate on trying to[br]hang on for dear life.

0:33:10.310,0:33:16.720
When you get up around 60 miles an hour, the[br]kids enter phase three, where they start screaming

0:33:16.720,0:33:20.840
again, but now they are screaming, “Stop![br]Stop! Please slow down!” Don’t stop though;

0:33:20.840,0:33:22.630
keep going faster and faster.

0:33:22.630,0:33:28.130
When you get to 100 miles an hour, you enter[br]phase four where the kids begin to fly off

0:33:28.130,0:33:33.190
the merry-go-round. Now when this happens,[br]you will notice a very interesting phenomenon

0:33:33.190,0:33:34.190
of physics.

0:33:34.190,0:33:40.670
If the merry-go-round is going clockwise when[br]the kid flies off, the kid will be spinning

0:33:40.670,0:33:42.670
clockwise.

0:33:42.670,0:33:46.920
Until he encounters resistance, like a tree[br]or a pole.

0:33:46.920,0:33:50.480
That’s because of a law in physics known as[br]the conservation of angular momentum.

0:33:50.480,0:33:54.890
See, if a spinning object breaks apart, the[br]pieces that fly off are going to spin the

0:33:54.890,0:34:00.810
same direction, because the outside is moving[br]faster than the inside.

0:34:00.810,0:34:03.840
And we can talk all day about the conservation[br]laws if you’d like, but the professor said,

0:34:03.840,0:34:05.860
“Yes, I know about the conservation laws.”

0:34:05.860,0:34:09.770
I said, “Well good, sir, then let me ask you[br]a question. If the universe began as a spinning

0:34:09.770,0:34:14.270
dot like you said, why do two planets spin[br]backwards, and probably three?”

0:34:14.270,0:34:20.870
He got real quiet, a puzzled look on his face.[br]I said, “Sir, why do eight out of ninety-one

0:34:20.870,0:34:22.918
known moons spin backwards?

0:34:22.918,0:34:29.918
Why do Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune have moons[br]going both directions at the same time?

0:34:32.659,0:34:38.168
Why is the Sun 98% hydrogen and helium, but[br]the other planets are less than 1% hydrogen

0:34:38.168,0:34:40.320
and helium?

0:34:40.320,0:34:43.370
And why are these nine planets so different[br]from each other? If they all came from the

0:34:43.370,0:34:46.880
big bang, why are they all so different?

0:34:46.880,0:34:48.370
Very different compositions!

0:34:48.370,0:34:51.620
And why do some whole galaxies spin backwards?”

0:34:51.620,0:34:54.668
CNN did an article, “Goofy galaxy spins in[br]wrong direction.”

0:34:54.668,0:35:00.980
I said, “Sir, why are these things going backwards?”

0:35:00.980,0:35:02.710
He said, “I don’t know.

0:35:02.710,0:35:06.500
Why do you think they are going backwards?”

0:35:06.500,0:35:08.040
I was hoping he was going to ask that.

0:35:08.040,0:35:09.720
I said, “Sir, it’s really simple.

0:35:09.720,0:35:13.090
You see, ‘In the beginning God created the[br]heaven and the earth,’ and God did it that

0:35:13.090,0:35:16.280
way on purpose, just to make the big bang[br]theory look stupid.”

0:35:16.280,0:35:23.280
Yes, amen.

0:35:24.110,0:35:30.550
Now, I do believe in the big bang, because[br]the Bible teaches the big bang.

0:35:30.550,0:35:35.470
It says, “The heavens shall pass away with[br]a great noise.” In the original Greek, that’s

0:35:35.470,0:35:36.440
a big bang!

0:35:36.440,0:35:40.940
So there is going to be a big bang. It just[br]didn’t happen yet, OK?

0:35:40.940,0:35:44.740
So kids, if you go to school, and some professor[br]says, “Hey, do you believe in the big bang?”

0:35:44.740,0:35:47.610
You should say, “Yes I do, and you’d better[br]get saved and get ready for it.”

0:35:47.610,0:35:52.350
The big bang is coming soon to a city near[br]you.

0:35:52.350,0:35:55.840
By the way, if the world came from a big bang[br]and slowly evolved over billions of years,

0:35:55.840,0:35:57.690
why did Jesus die on the cross?

0:35:57.690,0:35:59.780
What’s the purpose of the death of Christ?

0:35:59.780,0:36:03.790
And when the Bible says God is going to restore[br]the world like it used to be ...

0:36:03.790,0:36:08.220
Restore it to what? More death and suffering?

0:36:08.220,0:36:11.720
We cover more on that theistic evolution position[br]in video #7.

0:36:11.720,0:36:16.110
The big bang theory is ludicrous for numerous[br]reasons, OK? If the big bang theory were true,

0:36:16.110,0:36:19.790
then matter would be evenly distributed. But[br]it’s not.

0:36:19.790,0:36:24.620
Serious, serious problems with the big bang[br]theory! Even Fred Hoyle said, “I have little

0:36:24.620,0:36:27.980
hesitation in saying that a sickly pall hangs[br]over the big bang theory.”

0:36:27.980,0:36:33.880
Get more on that in the book, “Evolution Cruncher.”[br]It’s a 900-page book; it’s only $5.00. It’s

0:36:33.880,0:36:36.770
an excellent book to give away to every kid[br]in your high school.

0:36:36.770,0:36:41.480
The second law of thermodynamics tells us,[br]“Everything tends toward disorder.”

0:36:41.480,0:36:46.650
If you leave something alone for awhile, it’s[br]going to rot, rust, die, fall apart, or break

0:36:46.650,0:36:47.450
down.

0:36:47.450,0:36:51.270
Nothing gets better by itself. That’s what[br]the Bible teaches. “The heavens are the works

0:36:51.270,0:36:55.160
of thine hands: they shall perish;...they[br]wax old as doth a garment.”

0:36:55.160,0:36:59.340
Nothing gets better by itself. Take a look[br]at your hairdo when you wake up in the morning.

0:36:59.340,0:37:04.690
You’ll see exactly what I am talking about.[br]Everything tends towards chaos, all right?

0:37:04.690,0:37:11.690
Here is Sue at 20. Here she is at 90. And[br]here she is at 3,000. Everything tends toward

0:37:15.980,0:37:18.790
chaos, folks, all right?

0:37:18.790,0:37:22.740
All you have to do is nothing, and everything[br]deteriorates, collapses, breaks down, wears

0:37:22.740,0:37:23.000
out.

0:37:23.000,0:37:26.740
That’s what the second law is all about. Everything[br]is getting worse.

0:37:26.740,0:37:31.770
Nothing is getting better. But the textbook[br]says, “Humans probably evolved from bacteria

0:37:31.770,0:37:35.110
more than 4 billion years ago.”

0:37:35.110,0:37:38.940
Was your great-great-great-great-great-great-grandpa[br]bacteria?

0:37:38.940,0:37:43.960
Evolutionists will say, “Well, Hovind, don’t[br]you know that if you add energy, you can overcome

0:37:43.960,0:37:46.470
the second law of thermodynamics?

0:37:46.470,0:37:50.130
And the earth receives energy from the sun,[br]so the earth is an open system. That’s how

0:37:50.130,0:37:51.600
we overcome the law.”

0:37:51.600,0:37:55.540
I understand the argument, but they are missing[br]the point. Number one: the universe is a closed

0:37:55.540,0:37:55.790
system.

0:37:55.750,0:38:00.500
Number two: adding energy is destructive,[br]unless there is a special mechanism to use

0:38:00.500,0:38:01.820
and harness the energy.

0:38:01.820,0:38:06.640
See, the Japanese added a bunch of energy[br]to Pearl Harbor one day. They didn’t organize

0:38:06.640,0:38:08.860
a thing for us, did they?

0:38:08.860,0:38:14.800
So a few years later, we added some energy[br]to a few of their cities - returned the favor.

0:38:14.800,0:38:18.210
Didn’t organize any thing for them. Adding[br]energy is destructive.

0:38:18.210,0:38:22.170
The sun adds energy to the roof of your house;[br]but it’s going to destroy your house.

0:38:22.170,0:38:24.430
The sun’s energy will destroy the entire house.

0:38:24.430,0:38:28.530
The sun’s energy will destroy the roof on[br]your car. It will destroy your upholstery.

0:38:28.530,0:38:30.740
The sun’s energy will destroy your paint job.

0:38:30.740,0:38:36.550
There is only one thing that can actually[br]use the sun’s energy: chlorophyll.

0:38:36.550,0:38:39.260
And one little plant cell is more complex[br]than a space shuttle.

0:38:39.260,0:38:42.440
We cover more on that in video #4.

0:38:42.440,0:38:46.720
Evolution violates the second law, and evolution[br]is wrong, OK?

0:38:46.720,0:38:52.020
This textbook shows the kids a fossil starfish[br]and says, “3.4 billion years old... the remains

0:38:52.020,0:38:57.110
of an early ancestor of modern human beings.”

0:38:57.110,0:39:00.580
Was your great-great-great-great-great-great-grandpa[br]a starfish?

0:39:00.580,0:39:07.580
How about “Discover Magazine,” November 2004?[br]Was your ancestor a sea sponge? This is your

0:39:10.160,0:39:16.570
ancestor. Wow, who’s your Daddy?

0:39:16.570,0:39:23.570
Now, please don’t laugh at this next picture,[br]OK?

0:39:24.080,0:39:28.560
This is going to be a picture of my brother[br]when he first wakes up in the morning, after

0:39:28.560,0:39:32.010
his first cup of coffee, which apparently[br]was a little too strong.

0:39:32.010,0:39:34.280
By the way, I’ve got to warn these kids.

0:39:34.280,0:39:40.560
Kids, listen carefully. Do not drink coffee![br]Because if you drink coffee when you are young,

0:39:40.560,0:39:47.560
when you get married, your babies will be[br]born naked and illiterate.

0:39:47.940,0:39:53.640
And tea is worse. There was an Indian once,[br]who drank four gallons of iced tea.

0:39:53.640,0:39:59.610
That night, he drowned in his teepee. Be careful[br]with that stuff; it’s deadly.

0:39:59.610,0:40:06.140
Anyway, this is going to be my brother, please[br]don’t laugh- he can’t help it. There he is!

0:40:06.140,0:40:12.450
Notice what the textbook says, “30 million[br]years ago...” Now kids, let me translate that

0:40:12.450,0:40:13.430
for you.

0:40:13.430,0:40:19.070
Anytime the textbook says, “million of years[br]ago,” what it means is: long ago, and far

0:40:19.070,0:40:20.020
away.

0:40:20.020,0:40:25.060
It means a fairy tale is coming next, OK?[br]That’s your warning, a fairy tale is coming

0:40:25.060,0:40:25.610
up.

0:40:25.610,0:40:30.100
“Thirty million years ago these critters evolved.”[br]There’s that word again, you’ve got to watch

0:40:30.100,0:40:30.650
that.

0:40:30.650,0:40:37.650
It says, “they are ancestral to both humans[br]and modern apes.” Ancestors to humans?

0:40:38.460,0:40:45.460
Grandpa? “What big eyes you have, grandpa!”[br]“All The better to see you with, my boy.”

0:40:49.200,0:40:52.130
You know, we’ve been teaching kids they are[br]nothing but an animal. And today a lot of

0:40:52.130,0:40:54.060
them act like animals.

0:40:54.060,0:40:59.240
Even Barbara Reynolds figured it out. “Your[br]kids go ape in school?” Here’s why- he’s being

0:40:59.240,0:41:00.630
taught evolution.

0:41:00.630,0:41:05.840
“Guess what, Johnny, you are an animal and[br]share a common heritage with earthworms.”

0:41:05.840,0:41:09.860
“Ha, ha, you mean I’m just an animal? OK.”

0:41:09.860,0:41:15.970
Have you ever stopped and thought, that possibly[br]what we are teaching the kids is affecting

0:41:15.970,0:41:17.370
how they behave?

0:41:17.370,0:41:23.560
What you believe determines how you behave.[br]Kids are taught today that you are just an

0:41:23.560,0:41:24.630
animal.

0:41:24.630,0:41:28.960
The rock music these days is all full of death[br]and destruction and blood. Well, the Bible

0:41:28.960,0:41:34.970
says, “They that hate me love death!” Kids[br]are taught today, “There are no absolutes.”

0:41:34.970,0:41:39.750
I was in a debate one time, and this professor[br]said, “Hovind, there are no absolutes!”

0:41:39.750,0:41:45.550
I said, “Are you absolutely sure?” Blew his[br]little brain!

0:41:45.550,0:41:48.890
“Now, hold on a minute, how can I be absolutely[br]sure, when there are no absolutes?”

0:41:48.890,0:41:52.140
I was speaking in a public school in Pennsylvania[br]a couple of years ago, and this kid sat on

0:41:52.140,0:41:52.620
the second row.

0:41:52.620,0:41:56.640
He said, “Hovind, I am an atheist. There is[br]no God.” I said, “Are you sure?”

0:41:56.640,0:42:00.100
He said, “I am sure.” I said, “Let me ask[br]you a question, son.”

0:42:00.100,0:42:03.930
I said, “Do you know everything?” He said,[br]“Oh, no...no.”

0:42:03.930,0:42:10.790
I said, “Well, OK, good. Do you think maybe[br]you know half of everything?” He said, “No...”

0:42:10.790,0:42:17.450
Well, let’s pretend for a few minutes that[br]you know half of everything.

0:42:17.450,0:42:22.650
Would it be possible then for God to exist[br]in the other half that you don’t know? Brand

0:42:22.650,0:42:27.180
new thought - rattled around in his brain[br]for awhile and got lost, I’m sure!

0:42:27.180,0:42:31.280
I said, “And by the way son, if you’re an[br]atheist, let me ask you a simple question.

0:42:31.280,0:42:35.100
How do you tell right from wrong?”

0:42:35.100,0:42:37.000
Ask an atheist that question some time.

0:42:37.000,0:42:40.180
How do you tell right from wrong?

0:42:40.180,0:42:44.620
He said, “That’s easy ... I decide what’s[br]right and wrong.”

0:42:44.620,0:42:47.590
He said, “I am the god of my own universe.”

0:42:47.590,0:42:52.490
I said, “I am glad to hear about that, son,[br]because I am going to shoot you in five minutes.”

0:42:52.490,0:42:54.370
He said, “You can’t do that.”

0:42:54.370,0:42:59.720
I said, “Oh yes I can! You see, I am the god[br]of my own universe, and I decided it’s fine

0:42:59.720,0:43:02.790
for me to shoot you.”

0:43:02.790,0:43:07.050
You see where that logic would lead in a hurry[br]if “every man did that which was right in

0:43:07.050,0:43:13.520
his own eyes” like the book of Judges says.[br]Serious problems for society - big time! How

0:43:13.520,0:43:14.780
do you tell right from wrong?

0:43:14.780,0:43:19.750
A simple question to ask an evolutionist.[br]They don’t have a way to tell.

0:43:19.750,0:43:23.810
Maybe Osama bin Laden should decide right[br]from wrong. Maybe Bill Clinton should decide

0:43:23.810,0:43:24.600
right from wrong.

0:43:24.600,0:43:31.430
If he has any idea where to find it! I mean,[br]how do you tell right from wrong? Simple!

0:43:31.430,0:43:33.830
It’s real easy to tell right from wrong-

0:43:33.830,0:43:39.370
“Thus saith the Lord.” Now you see, that is[br]absolute.

0:43:39.370,0:43:43.490
And the Lord said, “Ye shall not make any[br]cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print

0:43:43.490,0:43:45.780
any marks upon you.”

0:43:45.780,0:43:51.230
Some people either don’t know what God says,[br]or maybe they just don’t care what God says.

0:43:51.230,0:43:57.450
But God says don’t do that, OK? Now, if you[br]did it in the past, you could just say, “God,

0:43:57.450,0:43:59.830
I’m sorry,” and not do it again.

0:43:59.830,0:44:01.240
A lot of teachers don’t seem to understand.

0:44:01.240,0:44:05.100
They just blindly follow the textbook and[br]think that they have to teach this evolution

0:44:05.100,0:44:05.560
theory.

0:44:05.560,0:44:10.750
No, you don’t have to teach this evolution[br]theory! Teachers can teach creation in public

0:44:10.750,0:44:12.030
schools if they want.

0:44:12.030,0:44:15.070
We’ve got a video tape called: “The Public[br]School Presentation” which deals with all

0:44:15.070,0:44:19.640
the laws about teaching creation in public[br]schools.

0:44:19.640,0:44:25.630
What happened was, Arkansas and Louisiana[br]passed laws to require that creation be taught.

0:44:25.630,0:44:31.100
The court struck it down in both cases. They[br]said, “You cannot be required to teach creation.”

0:44:31.100,0:44:34.690
They said, “The teachers can teach it if they[br]want, but it has to be voluntary on the teacher’s

0:44:34.690,0:44:35.550
part.”

0:44:35.550,0:44:40.320
Even Stephen Gould said, “No statute exists[br]in any state to bar instruction in ‘creation

0:44:40.320,0:44:40.940
science.’”

0:44:40.940,0:44:46.320
It could be taught before, and it can be taught[br]now. He was commenting on the 1987 Supreme

0:44:46.320,0:44:46.570
Court decision.

0:44:46.390,0:44:53.390
The ACLU, “the American Communist Lawyers’[br]Union,” have tried really hard to spread the

0:44:53.580,0:44:57.110
propaganda around that you cannot talk about[br]creation in the public schools. And that’s

0:44:57.110,0:44:58.890
just simply not true.

0:44:58.890,0:45:02.400
It’s always been perfectly fine to teach creation[br]in the public schools. There’s never been

0:45:02.400,0:45:05.040
a law against that, OK?

0:45:05.040,0:45:08.510
But if a teacher gets up in front of the class[br]and says, “OK kids, listen, you started off

0:45:08.510,0:45:12.540
like a slime, and you slowly evolved to a[br]human.”

0:45:12.540,0:45:16.520
You don’t need to be a genius to figure out[br]that teaching will destroy some kid’s faith

0:45:16.520,0:45:18.550
in the Bible.

0:45:18.550,0:45:22.870
And anybody that destroys a child’s faith,[br]better read what Jesus said about that.

0:45:22.870,0:45:26.540
He said, “Whoso shall offend one of these[br]little ones which believe in me, it were better

0:45:26.540,0:45:29.240
for him that a millstone were hanged about[br]his neck...

0:45:29.240,0:45:33.200
And that he were drowned in the depth of the[br]sea.” Anybody that teaches evolution is in

0:45:33.200,0:45:37.170
trouble when they stand before God. The Bible[br]says, “Be not many masters, knowing that we

0:45:37.170,0:45:40.300
shall receive the greater condemnation.”

0:45:40.300,0:45:45.550
It’s interesting, though, what happened. Back[br]in the 1950s, the average textbook in America

0:45:45.550,0:45:49.010
had very little evolution - two or three thousand[br]words was all.

0:45:49.010,0:45:56.010
But in 1957, the Russians beat us in the space[br]race by launching Sputnik and Americans panicked.

0:45:56.670,0:45:59.320
How many of you are old enough to remember[br]the panic in America when the Russians were

0:45:59.320,0:46:00.880
winning the space race?

0:46:00.880,0:46:05.280
They had articles in “Life Magazine” like,[br]“How You can Survive Fallout.”

0:46:05.280,0:46:10.750
They said, “The Soviets are ahead of us in[br]science, because the Soviets teach evolution.

0:46:10.750,0:46:15.540
We don’t teach it in our schools.” They had[br]articles on how to build your own bomb shelter.

0:46:15.540,0:46:19.160
People were building them in their back yards[br]to survive nuclear fallout.

0:46:19.160,0:46:24.640
Wait a minute; the Soviets are ahead in science[br]because they teach evolution?

0:46:24.640,0:46:28.000
What does evolution have to do with putting[br]up a satellite?

0:46:28.000,0:46:34.480
Then, in 1959 it was the hundred-year anniversary[br]of Darwin’s book coming out.

0:46:34.480,0:46:40.360
And in 1959, Eisenhower asked congress for[br]a billion dollars to push more evolution into

0:46:40.360,0:46:41.300
the school system.

0:46:41.300,0:46:43.400
And he got it.

0:46:43.400,0:46:49.410
American textbooks were rewritten in the late[br]50s and early 60s to include more evolution.

0:46:49.410,0:46:54.890
They called it “the cold war reconstruction[br]of American science education.”

0:46:54.890,0:47:00.190
Our whole science curriculum and other curriculums[br]were rewritten to make sure evolution was

0:47:00.190,0:47:01.720
taught.

0:47:01.720,0:47:07.420
And by 1963 the average textbook had 33,000[br]words about evolution.

0:47:07.420,0:47:12.370
By 1963, prayer was taken out of our school[br]system.

0:47:12.370,0:47:14.180
Anybody remember that? Madeline Murray O’Hare?

0:47:14.180,0:47:20.840
By 1963 we saw a great rise in pre-marital[br]sex for every single age bracket. We saw a

0:47:20.840,0:47:25.200
great rise in sexually transmitted diseases[br]for ten- to fourteen-year-olds.

0:47:25.200,0:47:32.200
We saw a great rise in unwed birth rates - a[br]550% increase in pregnancies.

0:47:33.220,0:47:35.520
The difference is being aborted.

0:47:35.520,0:47:38.960
Now one third of all the kids born in the[br]hospitals are born to a couple that are not

0:47:38.960,0:47:41.190
married. One third of them.

0:47:41.190,0:47:47.680
Illegitimate children. Now listen carefully.[br]If you are one of those, this is for you.

0:47:47.680,0:47:50.420
Timothy was a “half-breed” that never should[br]have been born.

0:47:50.420,0:47:54.490
Timothy’s mommy was Jewish, his daddy was[br]Greek. The Jews weren’t supposed to marry

0:47:54.490,0:47:55.910
anybody but Jews.

0:47:55.910,0:48:00.500
Mama disobeyed; Timothy was the result. But[br]he wanted to serve God, and God said, “I’ll

0:48:00.500,0:48:03.310
take you, son.” He wrote two books in the[br]Bible.

0:48:03.310,0:48:07.460
So if your parents messed up, you shut your[br]mouth- quit whining, and go serve God with

0:48:07.460,0:48:08.270
your life, OK?

0:48:08.270,0:48:11.550
There are no excuses. God will use anybody,[br]OK?

0:48:11.550,0:48:17.960
The number of unmarried couples living together[br]has increased radically since 1963. God’s

0:48:17.960,0:48:20.910
Word hasn’t changed. He said, “Thou shalt[br]not commit adultery.”

0:48:20.910,0:48:26.080
He said, “Whoremongers and adulterers God[br]will judge.” Jesus said, “If you even look

0:48:26.080,0:48:29.730
and lust, you have committed adultery already[br]in your heart.”

0:48:29.730,0:48:33.810
By the way, ladies, that’s why it’s important[br]how you dress.

0:48:33.810,0:48:38.810
My daddy always said, “If you’re not in business,[br]don’t advertise.”

0:48:38.810,0:48:45.810
Divorce rates have gone crazy in this country.[br]Child abuse is up 2,300%. Illegal drugs are

0:48:47.300,0:48:51.369
up 6,000% . Violent crimes are up nearly 1000%.

0:48:51.369,0:48:57.190
I am not that old, but I remember the days[br]when you did not have to lock your house.

0:48:57.190,0:48:59.630
Anybody remember those days?

0:48:59.630,0:49:02.320
And you left the keys in the ignition all[br]the time. You never took them out, because

0:49:02.320,0:49:03.180
you might lose them.

0:49:03.180,0:49:07.130
And you go up to t the average high school[br]and half of the pickup trucks in the parking

0:49:07.130,0:49:10.400
lot had a loaded rifle hanging in the back[br]window.

0:49:10.400,0:49:14.750
And nobody got shot in school in those days,[br]did they? You probably didn’t hear about this,

0:49:14.750,0:49:19.020
but the kids at Columbine High School that[br]shot everybody were very strong believers

0:49:19.020,0:49:20.910
in evolution.

0:49:20.910,0:49:23.960
They did the shooting on Hitler’s birthday,[br]on purpose.

0:49:23.960,0:49:27.900
They shot Isaiah Shoels just because he was[br]black.

0:49:27.900,0:49:32.110
Hitler hated black people; so did they. This[br]was evolution-motivated shooting.

0:49:32.110,0:49:37.510
And right after the shooting, Rosie O’Donnell[br]got on her TV program and said, “See, we need

0:49:37.510,0:49:38.670
more gun control.”

0:49:38.670,0:49:45.670
Rosie, those kids broke 18 gun laws going[br]into that school. I don’t think two more gun

0:49:45.840,0:49:48.220
laws would have slowed them down.

0:49:48.220,0:49:52.400
See, Rosie can’t figure it out; but one guy[br]figured out the whole thing and put it on

0:49:52.400,0:49:57.950
the spare tire cover on his van. I saw that;[br]I said, “Man, I’ve got to get a picture of

0:49:57.950,0:50:00.670
this!” This explains everything.

0:50:00.670,0:50:07.670
He said, “Blaming guns for Columbine is like[br]blaming spoons for Rosie O’Donnell being fat.”

0:50:11.840,0:50:17.300
It’s not the spoon’s fault, Rosie! And it’s[br]not the guns’ fault, either. Yeah, blame the

0:50:17.300,0:50:21.200
gun - that’s brilliant! SAT scores have plummeted[br]since 1963.

0:50:21.200,0:50:24.610
Twice in the last forty years they have dumbed[br]down the test.

0:50:24.610,0:50:31.310
They made the test dumber, so the scores would[br]go back up. Teen suicide rates have gone crazy.

0:50:31.310,0:50:36.340
Now, if I told you that if you kissed a frog,[br]it would turn to a prince, what would you

0:50:36.340,0:50:36.660
say?

0:50:36.660,0:50:40.230
You would say, “No, frogs don’t turn into[br]princes.”

0:50:40.230,0:50:42.770
How many of you ladies got your husband by[br]kissing a frog?

0:50:42.770,0:50:46.730
Come on, let’s see. Looks like only about[br]three.

0:50:46.730,0:50:50.119
See, it doesn’t happen very often; but in[br]the textbooks it does.

0:50:50.119,0:50:57.119
We started off like an amoeba and slowly evolved[br]into a frog and very slowly became a prince.

0:50:57.869,0:51:04.550
It’s the same fairy tale. See, if the frog[br]turns into a prince quickly, we all know it’s

0:51:04.550,0:51:05.710
a fairy tale.

0:51:05.710,0:51:11.400
But if the frog turns into a prince slowly,[br]now then, that’s modern science.

0:51:11.400,0:51:17.720
No, I’m sorry, that’s still a fairy tale - even[br]more of a fairy tale.

0:51:17.720,0:51:20.490
The difference is not a kiss. That won’t do[br]it anymore.

0:51:20.490,0:51:23.100
Today, boys and girls, if you want to turn[br]your frog into a prince, you’ve got to have

0:51:23.100,0:51:30.100
a super, special, high-powered, magic ingredient[br]called billions and billions of years.

0:51:31.619,0:51:32.869
How many of you have ever heard that before?

0:51:32.869,0:51:37.560
“Billions of years ago..” It’s all in the[br]textbooks. You see it on TV, in the magazines;

0:51:37.560,0:51:40.080
it’s in “National Geographic.”

0:51:40.080,0:51:44.700
“Billions and billions of years ago...” They[br]talk about it like it’s a fact of science.

0:51:44.700,0:51:49.170
Here is a fourth grade textbook. It says,[br]“Many millions of years ago...”

0:51:49.170,0:51:54.910
Now wait a minute. If anybody ever says that[br]to me, I say, “Were you there?” They’ll say,

0:51:54.910,0:51:56.940
“No, of course I wasn’t there.”

0:51:56.940,0:52:00.310
Then I’ll say, “Now do you know the earth[br]is millions of years old?

0:52:00.310,0:52:03.420
Is this really a part of science? Is this[br]something we can observe, study, test, and

0:52:03.420,0:52:04.119
demonstrate?”

0:52:04.119,0:52:10.110
They’ll say, “No, but everybody believes the[br]earth is millions of years old.” No, they

0:52:10.110,0:52:10.930
don’t.

0:52:10.930,0:52:16.530
Most Americans believe the earth is less than[br]10,000 years old and God made it.

0:52:16.530,0:52:22.960
Less than 15% are evolutionists and atheists[br]in the surveys that they take. Majority of

0:52:22.960,0:52:26.630
Americans do not believe the earth is millions[br]of years old.

0:52:26.630,0:52:30.290
Now it’s true that slightly more than half[br]the scientists believe in evolution. That’s

0:52:30.290,0:52:34.880
true, I agree. But that doesn’t make it true.[br]It’s true that they believe it, but what they

0:52:34.880,0:52:36.110
believe is not true.

0:52:36.110,0:52:39.760
See, just because a bunch of scientists believe[br]something doesn’t mean anything.

0:52:39.760,0:52:43.690
There was a time when scientists taught that[br]the planets go around the earth.

0:52:43.690,0:52:47.010
The scientists used to teach that a big rock[br]will fall faster than a little rock.

0:52:47.010,0:52:51.050
They used to teach that if you were sick,[br]you had bad blood. Take out your blood, and

0:52:51.050,0:52:53.100
you will get better.

0:52:53.100,0:52:56.510
There were special places all over America[br]to get your blood taken out.

0:52:56.510,0:52:59.300
You could tell where they were, because they[br]had a white pole with a red stripe around

0:52:59.300,0:53:00.560
it.

0:53:00.560,0:53:04.619
The barber was the blood letter. And right[br]beside George Washington, ...

0:53:04.619,0:53:07.560
... when they were bleeding him to death,[br]was a Bible that told him, “For the life of

0:53:07.560,0:53:09.340
the flesh is in the blood:”

0:53:09.340,0:53:15.600
If they would have read that verse, he might[br]still be alive today. Well, he would have

0:53:15.600,0:53:16.310
lived longer, anyway.

0:53:16.310,0:53:19.790
But listen, if you went scuba diving and found[br]a treasure chest full of gold coins.

0:53:19.790,0:53:23.420
And I asked you the simple question, “When[br]did the boat sink?”

0:53:23.420,0:53:29.369
You say, “I don’t know.” Well, look at the[br]dates on the coins.

0:53:29.369,0:53:34.340
If there’s a coin in that box from 1750, you[br]ought to be able to figure out that the boat

0:53:34.340,0:53:38.560
sank after 1750.

0:53:38.560,0:53:43.280
How many can figure that out with no help[br]at all? It couldn’t sink before that, could

0:53:43.280,0:53:43.820
it?

0:53:43.820,0:53:46.720
You don’t poke around in the box and find[br]the oldest coin.

0:53:46.720,0:53:52.010
You have to find the most recent coin. And[br]that kind of limits when the boat could have

0:53:52.010,0:53:52.500
sunk.

0:53:52.500,0:53:54.310
That’s called the limiting factor.

0:53:54.310,0:53:58.500
Did you know that there are probably a hundred[br]different ways to tell how old the earth is?

0:53:58.500,0:54:02.040
A lot of them give big numbers, and a lot[br]of them give small numbers, but it’s the small

0:54:02.040,0:54:04.820
ones we’ve got to worry about.

0:54:04.820,0:54:09.750
If you find a dinosaur bone, you should notice[br]two things about it immediately.

0:54:09.750,0:54:16.020
Number one, it does not talk. Number two,[br]it doesn’t have a date stamped on it.

0:54:16.020,0:54:23.020
It does not say: “Made by a dinosaur in 70[br]million BC in Taiwan.” They don’t say that,

0:54:23.450,0:54:23.720
OK?

0:54:23.720,0:54:28.070
So, how do you tell the age of a fossil? How[br]do you tell the age of the earth?

0:54:28.070,0:54:32.740
How old is this earth anyway? Well, the Bible[br]dates add up to about 6,000 years.

0:54:32.740,0:54:37.110
The textbooks say it’s billions. Somebody[br]is wrong.

0:54:37.110,0:54:41.130
There is a difference between 6,000 and 20[br]billion.

0:54:41.130,0:54:44.210
Congress doesn’t seem to understand the difference,[br]but there is a difference, OK?

0:54:44.210,0:54:45.630
We’ll talk about that in the next session.

0:54:45.630,0:54:49.130
How do you show that the earth is not billions[br]of years old?

0:54:49.130,0:54:52.750
But if it is only 6,000 years old like the[br]Bible teaches, that raises some interesting

0:54:52.750,0:54:53.790
questions.

0:54:53.790,0:54:56.690
What about the dinosaurs? What about carbon[br]dating?

0:54:56.690,0:54:59.630
How did the light from the stars get here?[br]What about Grand Canyon?

0:54:59.630,0:55:02.810
Didn’t it take million of years to form? What[br]about the geologic column?

0:55:02.810,0:55:07.510
Well folks, that’s why my seminar is about[br]seventeen hours long. I am talking as fast

0:55:07.510,0:55:09.359
as I can go, but we cover all that.

0:55:09.359,0:55:11.600
We’ll cover some more of that in just a minute.

0:55:16.100,0:55:22.760
The Bible says in Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning[br]God created the heaven and the earth.”

0:55:22.760,0:55:24.560
When was the beginning?

0:55:24.560,0:55:29.780
The Bible says that Jesus created all things[br]in heaven and earth.

0:55:29.780,0:55:35.180
Well wait, did God create the heaven and the[br]earth or did Jesus create the heaven and the

0:55:35.180,0:55:35.430
earth?

0:55:35.340,0:55:36.190
Well, they are both fine.

0:55:36.190,0:55:40.920
Jesus is God Almighty in the flesh in spite[br]of what “Jehovah’s false witnesses” teach,

0:55:40.920,0:55:41.760
OK?

0:55:41.760,0:55:47.900
Jesus said in Matthew 19:4, “Have ye not read[br]that he which made them at the beginning made

0:55:47.900,0:55:49.920
them male and female.”

0:55:49.920,0:55:55.359
By the way, that was Adam and Eve, not Adam[br]and Steve. But Jesus said that was the beginning.

0:55:55.359,0:56:01.440
Same thing in Mark 10:6, “From the beginning[br]of the creation God made them male and female.”

0:56:01.440,0:56:05.609
The Bible says death came into the world because[br]of man’s sin.

0:56:05.609,0:56:07.790
Nothing died until Adam sinned.

0:56:07.790,0:56:11.420
By man came death. The Bible is real clear[br]on the topic.

0:56:11.420,0:56:16.510
Adam was the first man and Eve was the mother[br]of all living.

0:56:16.510,0:56:20.310
Well, that makes it pretty easy then; we just[br]add up the dates.

0:56:20.310,0:56:23.480
The Bibles says Adam was 130 when Seth was[br]born.

0:56:23.480,0:56:26.230
Seth was 105 when Enos was born.

0:56:26.230,0:56:28.890
Enos was 90 when Cainan was born.

0:56:28.890,0:56:32.869
You go through the Bible; you add up the dates;[br]it’s not hard to do.

0:56:32.869,0:56:34.880
You can make a chart like this pretty easily.

0:56:34.880,0:56:39.040
If you get my seminar notebook, the last page[br]folds out to be that chart, or we’ve got them

0:56:39.040,0:56:40.580
laminated like this one.

0:56:40.580,0:56:43.800
You might want them for placemats when your[br]skeptic friends come over for lunch.

0:56:43.800,0:56:49.540
You can really stir up a conversation with[br]one of those. Our ministry has quite a few

0:56:49.540,0:56:51.660
placemats. And the kids can read that instead[br]of the cereal box.

0:56:51.660,0:56:57.150
But if you add up the dates in the Bible,[br]you are going to get about 4000 BC for the

0:56:57.150,0:56:58.619
creation.

0:56:58.619,0:57:02.020
Not millions of years ago, but 4000 BC.

0:57:02.020,0:57:04.530
Now I’m not one of those guys that tries to[br]put an exact date on it.

0:57:04.530,0:57:06.530
I don’t say that it was 4004 BC,

0:57:06.530,0:57:08.250
October 23rd at two in the afternoon.

0:57:08.250,0:57:10.600
I don’t think you can get that close from[br]Scripture.

0:57:10.600,0:57:16.100
I think Adam was made in the afternoon because[br]it was just before Eve. It’s the only clue

0:57:16.100,0:57:16.859
I found.

0:57:16.859,0:57:21.619
And I can’t prove this but I think I figured[br]out why God made Adam first.

0:57:21.619,0:57:27.890
I think God made Adam first because he didn’t[br]want any advice on how to do it.

0:57:27.890,0:57:31.359
How many would agree with that one?

0:57:31.359,0:57:36.880
By the way, BC means Before Christ. Almost[br]all the new textbooks are changing it to say

0:57:36.880,0:57:41.390
BCE- before the common era.

0:57:41.390,0:57:46.190
Christ is gone from the schools, folks. Textbooks[br]say the earth is billions of years old. Jesus

0:57:46.190,0:57:48.930
said the creation of Adam was the beginning.

0:57:48.930,0:57:55.930
Well, was He lying? Did He not understand[br]science? Or was He right?

0:57:56.119,0:57:59.619
How old is the earth? When was the beginning?

0:57:59.619,0:58:05.430
“Thou Lord in the beginning has laid the foundations[br]of the earth.” How old is this earth?

0:58:05.430,0:58:09.190
Could that date of 4000 BC be correct?

0:58:09.190,0:58:12.680
I do many debates at universities and speak[br]on a lot of talk shows and stuff, and there’s

0:58:12.680,0:58:13.609
always some atheist that calls in.

0:58:13.609,0:58:19.280
He will call in and say, “Hovind, I have got[br]a question, Who did Adam’s sons marry?”

0:58:19.280,0:58:21.130
Good question and a fair question.

0:58:21.130,0:58:25.390
I say that’s a good question and I’d be glad[br]to answer that. However, you guys are the

0:58:25.390,0:58:27.150
ones that have a serious problem.

0:58:27.150,0:58:31.180
The Bible says “Cain went out from the presence[br]of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod,

0:58:31.180,0:58:34.130
on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife[br]and she conceived.” Well, it doesn’t say he

0:58:34.130,0:58:35.300
found her there.

0:58:35.300,0:58:39.250
But who was his wife and who did Seth marry[br]anyway?

0:58:39.250,0:58:43.280
And I think I can answer that. However, compared[br]to the evolutionists we have a minor problem.

0:58:43.280,0:58:47.810
They believe that 18 or 20 billion years ago,[br]there was a big bang where nothing exploded

0:58:47.810,0:58:49.640
and made everything.

0:58:49.640,0:58:55.050
And 4.6 billion years ago the earth cooled[br]down and it was a hot ball of rock.

0:58:55.050,0:58:58.020
“The earth began as a hot ball of rock.”

0:58:58.020,0:59:02.670
And then millions of years of torrential rains[br]created great oceans, and swirling in the

0:59:02.670,0:59:05.660
waters of the oceans is a bubbling broth of[br]complex chemicals.

0:59:05.660,0:59:11.220
“Progress from a complex chemical soup to[br]a living organism is very slow.”

0:59:11.220,0:59:14.690
It sure is; it doesn’t even happen; that’s[br]how slow it is!

0:59:14.690,0:59:19.540
This guy said, “The first self-replicating[br]systems must have emerged in this organic

0:59:19.540,0:59:20.580
soup.”

0:59:20.580,0:59:25.609
So according to the big bang theory, 20 billion[br]years ago there was a big bang, and then 4.6

0:59:25.609,0:59:26.890
billion years ago the earth cooled down.

0:59:26.890,0:59:30.500
It rained on the rocks for millions of years,[br]turned them into soup, and the soup came alive

0:59:30.500,0:59:33.280
3 billion years ago.

0:59:33.280,0:59:38.680
And that first life-form found somebody to[br]marry (now there’s a good trick) and something

0:59:38.680,0:59:42.830
to eat, of course, and slowly evolved into[br]everything we see today.

0:59:42.830,0:59:44.250
That’s the big bang theory.

0:59:44.250,0:59:48.850
So great-great-great-great-grandpa was soup.

0:59:48.850,0:59:53.350
I spoke at a college in Boston one time. They[br]said, “Hovind, you can come to speak at our

0:59:53.350,0:59:56.600
college, if our professors can ask you any[br]questions they want.

0:59:56.600,1:00:01.359
We would like to show the students how dumb[br]you Christians really are.”

1:00:01.359,1:00:02.750
I said, “I would be honored to come for that.”

1:00:02.750,1:00:07.070
So I showed up. There were six professors[br]and all their students in the room. You know,

1:00:07.070,1:00:08.730
I felt like Daniel in the lion’s den!

1:00:08.730,1:00:15.510
I got out my charts and said, “Folks, I believe[br]the Bible. I believe 6,000 years ago God made

1:00:15.510,1:00:19.490
everything. Then 4,400 years ago, God sent[br]a Flood which destroyed everything.”

1:00:19.490,1:00:24.470
“Noah saved two of each kind - not species[br]- kind of animal life on the ark.”

1:00:24.470,1:00:27.140
Then I told them what they believe, because[br]most of them don’t know what they believe.

1:00:27.140,1:00:28.960
Twenty billion years ago there was a big bang.

1:00:28.960,1:00:32.130
Then 4.6 billion years ago, the earth cooled[br]down. It rained on the rocks for millions

1:00:32.130,1:00:34.960
of years, turned them into soup and the soup[br]came alive.

1:00:34.960,1:00:35.890
One professor was really upset.

1:00:35.890,1:00:38.980
He said, “Hovind, do you realize that there[br]are hundreds of varieties of dogs in the world?”

1:00:38.980,1:00:41.960
I said, “Oh yeah, there’s a bunch.”

1:00:41.960,1:00:45.410
He said, “You mean to tell me that you believe[br]all those dogs came from just two dogs on

1:00:45.410,1:00:46.160
Noah’s ark?

1:00:46.160,1:00:48.180
Do you expect me to believe that?”

1:00:48.180,1:00:53.190
I said, “Sir, would you look at what you are[br]teaching your students?

1:00:53.190,1:01:00.190
You’re teaching your students that all those[br]dogs came from a rock.”

1:01:00.480,1:01:02.280
He didn’t have any more questions after that.

1:01:02.280,1:01:07.530
Anyway, who did Adam’s sons marry? Well, the[br]Bible says Adam lived after he begat Seth

1:01:07.530,1:01:12.950
800 years and begat sons and daughters.

1:01:12.950,1:01:17.390
How many kids could you have in 800 years?[br]Several, right?

1:01:17.390,1:01:22.869
A friend of mine in Arkansas had 15 kids in[br]15 years.

1:01:22.869,1:01:29.869
I met a family from Minnesota with 20 children,[br]all of them under 20. It’s cold in Minnesota.

1:01:32.350,1:01:37.000
So who did Adam’s sons marry? Well, they married[br]sisters.

1:01:37.000,1:01:37.980
You say, “Married their sisters?!”

1:01:37.980,1:01:40.440
Well calm down; first of all, there’s no other[br]choice, OK?

1:01:40.440,1:01:47.180
Secondly, who are you going to report them[br]to? Think about it.

1:01:47.180,1:01:52.260
Thirdly, there were no laws against it till[br]2,500 years later when Moses gave the law.

1:01:52.260,1:01:56.700
They didn’t need laws against it at first.[br]For the first thousand years or so, the race

1:01:56.700,1:01:58.900
had almost no genetic defects.

1:01:58.900,1:02:04.690
There was no problem marrying a sister. See,[br]everything about you is inherited. Even having

1:02:04.690,1:02:08.160
children is hereditary. If your parents don’t[br]have any, you won’t either.

1:02:08.160,1:02:15.160
You say, “Wow, I never thought about that.”[br]Go think about it. You’ll see I’m right.

1:02:15.730,1:02:19.780
People say, “You can’t marry sisters; what[br]about genetic similarity?”

1:02:19.780,1:02:26.160
Adam married his rib. Talk about genetic similarity![br]It was not going to be a problem back then.

1:02:26.160,1:02:29.950
And you won’t notice this reading the Bible,[br]but when you graph out the date, it is pretty

1:02:29.950,1:02:30.200
amazing.

1:02:30.190,1:02:35.320
You’ll realize that Adam lived long enough[br]to know his great-great-great-great-grandson.

1:02:35.320,1:02:39.590
Noah’s daddy could have known Adam for 56[br]years.

1:02:39.590,1:02:42.210
Can you imagine a family reunion back in those[br]days?

1:02:42.210,1:02:47.740
All right, everybody hop on the camel. We[br]are going to go visit great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandpa

1:02:47.740,1:02:48.240
Adam.

1:02:48.240,1:02:52.820
And he is going to tell us what it was like[br]in the Garden of Eden (before the first woman

1:02:52.820,1:02:57.359
ate the first man out of house and home).

1:02:57.359,1:02:59.940
I do tell a lot of Adam-and-Eve jokes. And[br]I’ll just tell you that right now. And this

1:02:59.940,1:03:02.599
one lady said, “Now just where would you men[br]be without us women?”

1:03:02.599,1:03:06.470
I said, “In the Garden of Eden.”

1:03:06.470,1:03:13.170
But it’d be lonely; it wouldn’t be worth it.

1:03:13.170,1:03:16.490
You won’t notice this reading your Bible either,[br]but when you graph out the dates, it’s like,

1:03:16.490,1:03:18.060
wow, that’s pretty cool!

1:03:18.060,1:03:22.520
Noah’s son Shem lived long enough after the[br]Flood to know Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

1:03:22.520,1:03:29.520
Jacob had 13 kids: 12 boys and 1 girl. One[br]of those boys was Joseph.

1:03:29.590,1:03:32.730
He’s the guy that got the coat of many colors.[br]And the brothers got jealous and beat him

1:03:32.730,1:03:34.400
up. They threw him in the pit and he ended[br]up down in Egypt.

1:03:34.400,1:03:37.090
And he became the “Vice Pharaoh” or whatever[br]they called it.

1:03:37.090,1:03:40.210
And later Joseph invited all of his brothers[br]to move down to Egypt and live with them.

1:03:40.210,1:03:45.320
So Joseph is introducing his dad, Jacob, to[br]Pharaoh. And Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How old

1:03:45.320,1:03:46.550
are you?”

1:03:46.550,1:03:49.130
And Jacob said, “I’m 130 years old.”

1:03:49.130,1:03:52.760
“Few and evil have the days of the years of[br]my life been and have not attained unto the

1:03:52.760,1:03:54.920
days of the years of the life of my fathers.”

1:03:54.920,1:04:00.970
I read that verse 36 years ago as a brand[br]new Christian and I thought, what’s he saying

1:04:00.970,1:04:01.440
here?

1:04:01.440,1:04:05.470
I’m 130, but this is nothing compared to my[br]ancestors?

1:04:05.470,1:04:10.590
Yeah, when you figure he could have personally[br]known Shem, Arphaxad, Salah, and Eber.

1:04:10.590,1:04:14.720
If you were 130 but you know a 600-year-old[br]that lives around the corner, you just don’t

1:04:14.720,1:04:15.859
feel so old anymore.

1:04:15.859,1:04:19.740
Anyway, the textbooks say that the earth is[br]billions of years old.

1:04:19.740,1:04:22.050
Jesus said the creation of Adam was the beginning.

1:04:22.050,1:04:24.920
Now was Jesus lying? Was He stupid?

1:04:24.920,1:04:28.640
Or was He right? How old is the earth?

1:04:28.640,1:04:32.340
Do the books in this town teach the kids the[br]earth is billions of years old?

1:04:32.340,1:04:35.320
Are they going to learn this in school when[br]they go back?

1:04:35.320,1:04:37.660
“4.6 billion years ago ...”

1:04:37.660,1:04:41.820
Even some Christians are teaching that the[br]earth is billions of years old.

1:04:41.820,1:04:45.099
Some people do who really sincerely, honestly[br]love the Lord!

1:04:45.099,1:04:47.880
This list of folks tells some of those, just[br]a few of those, who teach that the earth is

1:04:47.880,1:04:49.500
billions of years old.

1:04:49.500,1:04:52.740
I debated Hugh Ross for three hours on the[br]John Ankerberg show.

1:04:52.740,1:04:56.599
Both of those guys believe that the earth[br]is billions of years old. People say, “Well

1:04:56.599,1:04:58.700
who cares? What difference does it make?”

1:04:58.700,1:05:00.890
It makes a giant difference.

1:05:00.890,1:05:03.960
Because if you are going to have billions[br]of years, you are going to have death before

1:05:03.960,1:05:05.940
sin.

1:05:05.940,1:05:09.940
Now you have a heresy. And it is heresy!

1:05:09.940,1:05:13.109
It’s not heresy to believe the earth is billions[br]of years old, but it is heresy to put death

1:05:13.109,1:05:13.760
before sin.

1:05:13.760,1:05:15.560
Now that is a clear heresy.

1:05:15.560,1:05:21.840
The Bible says death reigned from Adam to[br]Moses. By man came death. In Adam all die.

1:05:21.840,1:05:23.119
Who cares about the age of the earth?

1:05:23.119,1:05:26.690
Well for one thing, the credibility of Genesis[br]is at stake.

1:05:26.690,1:05:31.540
The average person reading that book is not[br]going to find billions of years in there.

1:05:31.540,1:05:33.140
So the question is real simple.

1:05:33.140,1:05:36.619
Can the average person read the Bible and[br]understand it or do we have to have some guru

1:05:36.619,1:05:38.460
tell us what it means?

1:05:38.460,1:05:44.930
Secondly, the credibility of Jesus is at stake[br]since He quoted Genesis 25 times. And just

1:05:44.930,1:05:49.510
about every other book in the Bible refers[br]to the Book of Genesis.

1:05:49.510,1:05:52.940
It’s an important topic. And the evolutionists[br]really care!

1:05:52.940,1:05:57.810
If you take away billions of years, their[br]theory looks real silly.

1:05:57.810,1:06:02.440
Jesus said, “For had ye believed Moses, ye[br]would have believed me: for he wrote of me.”

1:06:02.440,1:06:05.840
Well, the Bible clearly teaches about 6,000[br]years.

1:06:05.840,1:06:09.390
Let’s see what the scientific evidence says.

1:06:09.390,1:06:14.390
In 1999 the world’s population crossed over[br]the 6 billion mark.

1:06:14.390,1:06:17.640
In 1985 there were 5 billion people on planet[br]earth.

1:06:17.640,1:06:20.349
In 1800 there was one billion people here.

1:06:20.349,1:06:24.460
Everybody agrees there were about one billion[br]people here around 1800. And everybody agrees

1:06:24.460,1:06:26.680
the world’s population is growing rapidly.

1:06:26.680,1:06:32.609
But the world is not overcrowded. Don’t fall[br]for that over-populated propaganda going around

1:06:32.609,1:06:33.619
the schools.

1:06:33.619,1:06:35.320
The world is not overcrowded.

1:06:35.320,1:06:39.590
The whole world’s population today, all 6[br]billion people, would fit inside Jacksonville,

1:06:39.590,1:06:42.730
Florida twice.

1:06:42.730,1:06:45.280
That little city has 25 billion square feet.

1:06:45.280,1:06:48.270
The world’s not overcrowded, folks.

1:06:48.270,1:06:53.849
Have you driven across Nebraska? Or Kansas?[br]Or New Mexico? Or Texas?

1:06:53.849,1:06:56.670
Drive across Texas. Have any of you driven[br]across Texas?

1:06:56.670,1:06:59.440
You can go for three days. Are we still in[br]Texas?

1:06:59.440,1:07:04.030
Yeah, nothing out there but flat rabbits,[br]I tell you what.

1:07:04.030,1:07:04.980
The world’s not overcrowded.

1:07:04.980,1:07:08.420
Drive across Tennessee, for Heaven’s sake.[br]It’s not overcrowded.

1:07:08.420,1:07:12.180
Look, if it’s overcrowded where you are, move!

1:07:12.180,1:07:17.040
There is plenty of room out there other places,[br]OK? Back when Jesus was here, the world’s

1:07:17.040,1:07:21.920
population was only about a quarter of a billion!

1:07:21.920,1:07:26.570
It looks like the whole population growth[br]curve started about 4,400 years ago.

1:07:26.570,1:07:30.140
Now if you believe in evolution, you’ve got[br]a problem.

1:07:30.140,1:07:33.020
You think man’s been here for 3 million years.

1:07:33.020,1:07:40.020
In 3 million years the population would have[br]grown. Right now there’d be about 150,000

1:07:40.990,1:07:43.520
people per square inch.

1:07:43.520,1:07:48.290
That would be crowded. No, man’s not been[br]here for millions of years.

1:07:48.290,1:07:52.200
God told Adam to replenish the earth; fill[br]it with kids. Have lots of kids!

1:07:52.200,1:07:56.480
“He formed the world to be inhabited,” Isaiah[br]45 tells us.

1:07:56.480,1:08:00.240
We got people on the other side saying we[br]should reduce the population of the earth.

1:08:00.240,1:08:02.109
That is Satan’s plan, of course.

1:08:02.109,1:08:07.180
Jacques Cousteau said we need to eliminate[br]350,000 people per day.

1:08:07.180,1:08:11.840
Ted Turner said we need a 95% decline in populations.

1:08:11.840,1:08:15.030
Okay, Ted, you first.

1:08:15.030,1:08:19.660
These guys for the New World Order want to[br]reduce the population of the world to a half

1:08:19.660,1:08:20.880
billion.

1:08:20.880,1:08:25.569
See, Satan was told by the Lord in the Garden[br]of Eden, “You are going to crawl on your belly

1:08:25.569,1:08:28.109
and eat dust all your life.”

1:08:28.109,1:08:32.399
Then the Lord said, “I will put enmity between[br]thee and the woman, between thy seed and her

1:08:32.399,1:08:35.729
seed, it shall bruise thy head.”

1:08:35.729,1:08:38.880
Satan knows that someday some seed of the[br]woman is going to bruise his head and he’s

1:08:38.880,1:08:40.250
not looking forward to that.

1:08:40.250,1:08:43.859
So he has decided he’s going to kill every[br]human being on the planet.

1:08:43.859,1:08:48.920
Satan’s goal is to kill all of humanity to[br]thwart God’s plan.

1:08:48.920,1:08:51.089
God said to fill the earth with kids; have[br]a bunch of kids.

1:08:51.089,1:08:52.979
Satan says, “No, we are going to reduce it[br]to zero.”

1:08:52.979,1:08:58.920
Remember when Herod wanted to kill baby Jesus[br]in Bethlehem? What did he do?

1:08:58.920,1:09:03.920
He killed all the children. Let’s be sure[br]to get the right one. Just kill them all.

1:09:03.920,1:09:06.729
And Satan’s going to try to kill every human[br]being on the planet.

1:09:06.729,1:09:09.960
Charles Wurster said, “People are the cause[br]of all the problems, we need to get rid of

1:09:09.960,1:09:11.540
some of them.”

1:09:11.540,1:09:14.839
Bill Clinton signed the biodiversity treaty[br]that said we need to reduce the earth’s population

1:09:14.839,1:09:15.839
to one billion.

1:09:15.839,1:09:20.040
They’ve already got the earth divided up into[br]regions.

1:09:20.040,1:09:23.950
The red areas on the map are for animals only.[br]No human beings allowed.

1:09:23.950,1:09:29.020
The treaty’s been signed; it just hasn’t been[br]enforced yet - coming soon though.

1:09:29.020,1:09:32.469
Peter Singer is the guy who wants to have[br]abortions after the baby’s born.

1:09:32.469,1:09:36.020
You have got 28 days to decide if you want[br]to keep it.

1:09:36.020,1:09:37.750
He said, “Christianity is our foe.”

1:09:37.750,1:09:41.899
“If animal rights is to succeed, we must destroy[br]the Judeo-Christian religious tradition.”

1:09:41.899,1:09:45.469
Like animals should have more rights than[br]humans. Alan Gregg said, “The world has cancer,

1:09:45.469,1:09:48.609
and the cancer is man.”

1:09:48.609,1:09:51.850
Prince Phillip is the husband of Queen Elizabeth.[br]She’s the one that invented the “micro-wave.”

1:09:51.850,1:09:58.850
Prince Phillip said, “If I could be reincarnated,[br]I would wish to return to earth as a killer

1:09:59.780,1:10:03.370
virus to lower human population levels.”

1:10:03.370,1:10:09.610
Nice guy, Phil. By the way, Monsanto is real[br]busy on developing genetically modified foods.

1:10:09.610,1:10:10.940
They banned them in Europe.

1:10:10.940,1:10:17.239
But 70% of everything you eat now contains[br]genetically modified foods, causing all kinds

1:10:17.239,1:10:19.040
of problems with health.

1:10:19.040,1:10:21.969
Get the book, “Seeds of Deception,” if you[br]want a whole lot more on that.

1:10:21.969,1:10:26.840
Or read “Engineered Extinction” from the “New[br]American” magazine about how our food is being

1:10:26.840,1:10:28.500
tampered with to reduce the population.

1:10:28.500,1:10:32.630
The United Nations said, “Food is power, we[br]use it to control behavior, ... we do not

1:10:32.630,1:10:33.440
apologize.”

1:10:33.440,1:10:38.170
And before you get excited about vaccines,[br]you might want to read what’s happening with

1:10:38.170,1:10:41.270
the viruses being injected in with the vaccines.

1:10:41.270,1:10:42.710
Time bombs are being planted in there.

1:10:42.710,1:10:48.400
There’s a long story on that; we cover more[br]on that in our “Bible & Health” video tape.

1:10:48.400,1:10:55.300
Autism has gone crazy. There’s been a 75,000[br]percent increase in autism in Illinois! It’s

1:10:55.300,1:10:57.530
from vaccines, most people believe.

1:10:57.530,1:11:00.530
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) seems[br]to be from vaccines.

1:11:00.530,1:11:03.020
In Australia they made vaccines non-mandatory.

1:11:03.020,1:11:08.700
50% of the people dropped out, and Australia[br]had a 50% drop in (SIDS) Sudden Infant Death

1:11:08.700,1:11:09.930
Syndrome.

1:11:09.930,1:11:13.219
Go to www.marytocco.com if you want more on[br]vaccines.

1:11:13.219,1:11:17.000
But there are people who want to reduce the[br]population of the earth.

1:11:17.000,1:11:21.590
Go outside of Atlanta, Georgia, to the town[br]of Elberton. Go north about seven or eight

1:11:21.590,1:11:23.030
miles on Highway 77.

1:11:23.030,1:11:27.370
Look off to the right. You’ll see a place[br]where they teach that we should reduce the

1:11:27.370,1:11:29.000
population of the planet.

1:11:29.000,1:11:32.950
If you look off to the right, you’ll see these[br]stones over here that look like Stonehenge.

1:11:32.950,1:11:35.270
You drive over there and it is the weirdest[br]place - in the middle of nowhere.

1:11:35.270,1:11:41.210
You get up and you read them and it says in[br]12 languages: The Ten Commandments for the

1:11:41.210,1:11:43.570
New World Order.

1:11:43.570,1:11:48.670
Commandment number one, Maintain humanity[br]under one-half billion.

1:11:48.670,1:11:53.040
Well now hold on a minute, there are already[br]6 billion people here.

1:11:53.040,1:11:58.400
How do they propose to “maintain humanity[br]under a half billion?”

1:11:58.400,1:12:02.070
Looks to me like there would have to be a[br]dramatic drop in human population. That is

1:12:02.070,1:12:03.730
exactly what the devil wants.

1:12:03.730,1:12:05.710
More on that in our college class: CSE 101.

1:12:05.710,1:12:09.770
Well, regardless of what happens in the future,[br]the population today tells us that man has

1:12:09.770,1:12:11.810
only been here about 4,400 years.

1:12:11.810,1:12:17.100
They said it looks like there has been a genetic[br]bottleneck. The whole population was reduced

1:12:17.100,1:12:19.810
to just a few thousand just a couple thousand[br]years ago.

1:12:19.810,1:12:23.710
Hey, they are getting closer. Actually it[br]was all reduced to eight persons only about

1:12:23.710,1:12:25.680
4,400 years ago.

1:12:25.680,1:12:29.489
I tell everybody that you keep studying, and[br]when you get done climbing the mountain of

1:12:29.489,1:12:32.280
truth, you’ll find the Baptists have been[br]sitting there all along.

1:12:32.280,1:12:37.880
Galaxies are spinning, but the stars in the[br]middle go faster than the stars on the outside.

1:12:37.880,1:12:42.840
So why do we still have spiral arms on the[br]galaxies? They should not be there.

1:12:42.840,1:12:48.480
Galaxies are evidence that the universe is[br]not billions of years old.

1:12:48.480,1:12:51.410
Stars are blowing up all the time. It is called[br]a supernova or a nova.

1:12:51.410,1:12:55.090
But a star blows up about every 30 years,[br]and yet there are less than 300 supernova

1:12:55.090,1:12:58.420
remnants or fragments that have been found.

1:12:58.420,1:13:00.980
That’s only a few thousand years worth of[br]stars.

1:13:00.980,1:13:04.370
Why aren’t there billions of supernova remnants?

1:13:04.370,1:13:07.850
Some people say, “Well, new stars are forming[br]in the Crab nebula or horsehead nebula.”

1:13:07.850,1:13:11.980
No, that’s a bunch of bologna. We cover that[br]on video #7. Nobody’s ever seen a star form.

1:13:11.980,1:13:15.030
The planet Jupiter is cooling off rapidly.

1:13:15.030,1:13:19.230
The stars are changing from red giants to[br]white dwarfs.

1:13:19.230,1:13:23.210
The textbooks say it takes billions of years.[br]We know that is not true.

1:13:23.210,1:13:28.180
All the ancient astronomers said Sirius was[br]a red star. Today it is a white dwarf.

1:13:28.180,1:13:31.810
It happens in a few thousand years. Don’t[br]let them tell you it takes billions of years.

1:13:31.810,1:13:33.730
Jupiter’s cooling off rapidly.

1:13:33.730,1:13:38.980
Constantly losing heat, it cannot be billions[br]of years old. It would have been cold by now.

1:13:38.980,1:13:43.510
Jupiter’s moon Ganymede has a strong magnetic[br]field, indicating a liquid core, meaning it

1:13:43.510,1:13:45.570
is not billions of years old.

1:13:45.570,1:13:50.280
Saturn’s rings are expanding away from the[br]planet. They cannot be billions of years old.

1:13:50.280,1:13:53.410
There’s more about that in the book, “In the[br]Beginning” by Walt Brown, an excellent book

1:13:53.410,1:13:53.880
by the way.

1:13:53.880,1:13:58.770
The moon goes around the earth. How many knew[br]that already? The moon goes around the earth.

1:13:58.770,1:14:02.310
Did you know that as the moon moves around[br]the earth, it is gradually getting farther

1:14:02.310,1:14:02.630
away?

1:14:02.630,1:14:09.440
We are slowly losing the moon. It’s leaving[br]us a couple inches a year - no big deal.

1:14:09.440,1:14:13.170
Nothing to worry about; plus nothing you can[br]do about it anyway.

1:14:13.170,1:14:15.880
But the moon is getting farther from the earth[br]every day.

1:14:15.880,1:14:22.330
Now kids, this is going to be complicated,[br]so listen carefully. The moon is getting farther

1:14:22.330,1:14:25.270
from the earth every day.

1:14:25.270,1:14:32.270
So that means that it used to be ... closer.[br]How many can figure this out with no help

1:14:34.390,1:14:35.080
at all?

1:14:35.080,1:14:39.580
Well, if you bring the moon in closer, you[br]start to create a problem, because the moon

1:14:39.580,1:14:43.450
causes the tides.

1:14:43.450,1:14:46.310
You folks in Knoxville probably don’t worry[br]about the tides.

1:14:46.310,1:14:48.360
But in Pensacola, you worry about the tides.

1:14:48.360,1:14:52.870
You see, if the moon was closer, the tides[br]would be higher.

1:14:52.870,1:14:55.380
There’s a law called the inverse square law.

1:14:55.380,1:14:59.370
If you brought the moon in to 1/3 the distance,[br]you take the 1/3, flip it over and square

1:14:59.370,1:15:03.030
it. It’s nine times the gravitational pull!

1:15:03.030,1:15:07.050
If you run all the math on this, you’ll find[br]out that the moon and earth would have been

1:15:07.050,1:15:09.830
almost together 1.4 billion years ago.

1:15:09.830,1:15:16.270
Dr. Walt Brown says 1.2 billion years ago[br]is the max life span for the earth and moon.

1:15:16.270,1:15:21.469
Well, if the moon was whizzing around just[br]above the surface of the earth, that explains

1:15:21.469,1:15:25.590
what happened to the tall dinosaurs.

1:15:25.590,1:15:31.520
They got mooned.

1:15:31.520,1:15:35.670
Comets are flying around through space, but[br]comets are constantly losing material.

1:15:35.670,1:15:37.800
Stuff blows off the tail of a comet.

1:15:37.800,1:15:41.500
You can’t just keep losing; pretty soon it[br]is gone.

1:15:41.500,1:15:43.460
You know, it’s kind of like your checkbook.

1:15:43.460,1:15:48.250
See, if your outgo exceeds your income, your[br]upkeep will be your downfall, every single

1:15:48.250,1:15:48.610
time!

1:15:48.610,1:15:53.830
Well, these comets are always losing material.[br]That’s something you just can’t keep doing

1:15:53.830,1:15:54.860
forever.

1:15:54.860,1:16:01.540
Most astronomer’s say comets can’t last more[br]than about 10,000 years. OK, well then I have

1:16:01.540,1:16:02.900
a question.

1:16:02.900,1:16:07.710
Why do we still have comets out there? They[br]should all be gone by now.

1:16:07.710,1:16:11.650
I mentioned in a seminar years ago that comets[br]are an indication that the solar system is

1:16:11.650,1:16:13.650
less than 10,000 years old.

1:16:13.650,1:16:20.650
And an atheist went home and devoted an entire[br]Web site against me, an anti-Hovind Web site.

1:16:20.650,1:16:22.500
There are now over a thousand.

1:16:22.500,1:16:28.270
One guy told me there is closer to 2,000 anti-Hovind[br]Web sites now. I’m so proud of myself.

1:16:28.270,1:16:32.320
Well, this one scoffer on his Web site said,[br]“Hovind, don’t you know about a Dutch astronomer

1:16:32.320,1:16:35.450
back in 1950? His name was Jan Oort.

1:16:35.450,1:16:41.540
He proposed (he hoped; he wished; he prayed)[br]that there was a great shell of comets out

1:16:41.540,1:16:46.290
there, and new ones kept coming in to replace[br]the ones that are burning out.”

1:16:46.290,1:16:50.290
So he said that the reason we still have comets[br]is because new ones are replacing the ones

1:16:50.290,1:16:51.940
that are burning up.

1:16:51.940,1:16:55.210
They called it the “Oort Cloud” of comets.

1:16:55.210,1:16:59.550
He said this Oort cloud is 50,000 astronomical[br]units away.

1:16:59.550,1:17:04.400
Well, if you don’t know what an astronomical[br]unit, it is the distance from the sun to the

1:17:04.400,1:17:04.670
earth.

1:17:04.670,1:17:07.550
That is one astronomical unit.

1:17:07.550,1:17:12.840
It’s pretty hard to see Pluto without a really[br]good telescope. And Pluto’s only 39 astronomical

1:17:12.840,1:17:13.969
units away.

1:17:13.969,1:17:20.210
You’re never going to see a comet at 50,000[br]astronomical units, that’s for sure.

1:17:20.210,1:17:25.070
Nobody’s ever seen this Oort cloud. Oort never[br]saw the Oort cloud.

1:17:25.070,1:17:30.580
The whole thing is based on a mathematical[br]mistake. There is no Oort cloud.

1:17:30.580,1:17:35.770
Even Carl Sagan said, “Many scientific papers[br]are written each year about the Oort cloud,

1:17:35.770,1:17:37.630
its properties, its origin, its evolution.[br]...

1:17:37.630,1:17:42.420
Yet there is not yet a shred of direct observational[br]evidence for its existence.”

1:17:42.420,1:17:44.690
There is no Oort cloud.

1:17:44.690,1:17:48.880
But the scoffer on his Web site said, “Hovind,[br]if you want to use the comet argument to prove

1:17:48.880,1:17:49.940
the earth is young, ...

1:17:49.940,1:17:55.690
It’s up to you to prove beyond a shadow of[br]a doubt that the Oort cloud and other sources

1:17:55.690,1:17:56.920
don’t exist!”

1:17:56.920,1:18:03.910
Wait, wait, wait. How would you prove the[br]nonexistence of something?

1:18:03.910,1:18:09.730
Wouldn’t I have to be all places at the same[br]instant to prove something doesn’t exist?

1:18:09.730,1:18:12.820
What he’s trying to do here is called shifting[br]the burden of proof.

1:18:12.820,1:18:15.550
The liberals do it to us all the time, and[br]we fall for it.

1:18:15.550,1:18:21.210
I’ll show you how easy it is to do. Suppose[br]I said that watermelons are blue on the inside

1:18:21.210,1:18:28.210
until you cut the skin. Prove I’m wrong.

1:18:28.469,1:18:31.060
It’s called shifting the burden of proof.[br]That would be pretty hard to do, wouldn’t

1:18:31.060,1:18:31.390
it?

1:18:31.390,1:18:37.670
As soon as you cut the skin - oh see, it turned[br]red. I was right; it was blue a second ago.

1:18:37.670,1:18:41.770
He says I have to prove there’s no Oort cloud.[br]Now wait, Dave, here’s what we know.

1:18:41.770,1:18:46.870
We know we have comets. We know they don’t[br]last more than about 10,000 years.

1:18:46.870,1:18:51.380
We know the Bible says the earth is 6,000[br]years old. I don’t have a problem with comets.

1:18:51.380,1:18:55.969
But he wants it to look like I have a problem[br]with comets, when he’s the one who’s got the

1:18:55.969,1:18:56.550
problem.

1:18:56.550,1:19:01.150
The Bible says, “The heavens declare the glory[br]of God.” It’s interesting. Evolution theory

1:19:01.150,1:19:04.910
has the sun and stars evolving before the[br]earth.

1:19:04.910,1:19:09.200
The Bible says, God made the earth before[br]the sun and stars.

1:19:09.200,1:19:14.400
Everything about the evolution theory is backwards[br]to the Bible. Every single thing - absolutely

1:19:14.400,1:19:16.690
backwards!

1:19:16.690,1:19:19.670
These theories don’t match. Everything’s backwards.

1:19:19.670,1:19:24.719
The Bible says man brought death into the[br]world. Evolution says death brought man into

1:19:24.719,1:19:26.100
the world.

1:19:26.100,1:19:32.110
The Bible says God created man; evolution[br]says no, man created God.

1:19:32.110,1:19:34.120
These theories are polar opposites.

1:19:34.120,1:19:38.500
People say, “Couldn’t God use evolution to[br]create?”

1:19:38.500,1:19:41.580
Well He could have, but it’s not the God of[br]the Bible, that’s for sure.

1:19:41.580,1:19:44.890
The God that would use evolution is cruel,[br]wasteful, and retarded.

1:19:44.890,1:19:47.310
It’s not a God you would want to pray to,[br]that’s for sure.

1:19:47.310,1:19:50.800
We’ll cover more of that on video 7 of the[br]blue series of tapes back there.

1:19:50.800,1:19:54.000
The psalmist said, “When I consider thy heavens....”

1:19:54.000,1:19:57.890
By the way, heavens is plural; we get into[br]that more in video #2.

1:19:57.890,1:20:01.500
He said, “when I consider.” Kids, you’d do[br]yourself a favor every once in a while to

1:20:01.500,1:20:02.670
shut off that TV.

1:20:02.670,1:20:07.270
Go outside, and consider the heavens. Go see[br]what God has done.

1:20:07.270,1:20:10.640
The psalmist said, “While I was musing, the[br]fire burned.”

1:20:10.640,1:20:13.910
The word muse means “think.” Think.

1:20:13.910,1:20:17.050
The Bible uses that word twice. Think.

1:20:17.050,1:20:20.250
Now, English is a pretty interesting language,[br]you know.

1:20:20.250,1:20:23.920
A “theist” is a person who says he believes[br]in God.

1:20:23.920,1:20:27.600
If you put the letter “a” in front of a word,[br]it means the opposite.

1:20:27.600,1:20:31.900
So an “atheist” is a person who says he does[br]not believe in God.

1:20:31.900,1:20:38.680
“Muse” means to think. So what is the opposite?[br]You got it.

1:20:38.680,1:20:41.489
“Amuse” means literally, to not think.

1:20:41.489,1:20:45.190
Did you know we’ve got entire parks where[br]you can pay money and go do that.

1:20:45.190,1:20:50.010
They are called amusement parks - a place[br]to not think.

1:20:50.010,1:20:54.380
He said, “When I consider thy heavens, the[br]work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars,

1:20:54.380,1:20:57.969
which thou hast ordained: What is man that[br]thou art mindful of him?”

1:20:57.969,1:21:02.610
You know what’s interesting? A person that[br]spends his time considering what God has done

1:21:02.610,1:21:05.420
is just not impressed with what man can do.

1:21:05.420,1:21:10.170
And some of you parents ought to go home and[br]look at your kid’s bedroom. And if what you

1:21:10.170,1:21:17.130
see all over the wall are sports heroes (you[br]listen carefully), you are training your kids

1:21:17.130,1:21:22.410
to meditate on what man can do, not on what[br]God can do.

1:21:22.410,1:21:25.969
And his brain, his thinking process, is going[br]to be about that deep.

1:21:25.969,1:21:32.969
You know the depth of his understanding is[br]“Wow, he threw the ball through the hoop.”

1:21:34.060,1:21:38.800
Who’s going to care in a thousand years? Who’s[br]going to care in five years?

1:21:38.800,1:21:43.590
Does anybody know who won the Stupid Bowl,[br]err, Super Bowl five years ago?

1:21:43.590,1:21:49.000
Does anybody care? It doesn’t matter, does[br]it?

1:21:49.000,1:21:51.960
All those grown men out there fighting over[br]that one ball, and they can all afford to

1:21:51.960,1:21:53.090
go buy their own.

1:21:53.090,1:21:59.100
No, I mean it’s not sinful. It is just dumb[br]to pay a guy five million dollars to carry

1:21:59.100,1:22:05.280
a pig bladder down a cow pasture through some[br]plumbing.

1:22:05.280,1:22:06.750
It’s not going to last, folks.

1:22:06.750,1:22:10.110
Think about things that are going to last[br]forever, like what God has done. Meditate

1:22:10.110,1:22:10.620
on that.

1:22:10.620,1:22:13.150
The Bible says, “Speak to the earth and it[br]shall teach thee.”

1:22:13.150,1:22:17.469
The earth is like a big magnet. Now magnets[br]always lose their strength.

1:22:17.469,1:22:22.190
The earth’s magnet has lost 10% of its strength[br]in the last 150 years.

1:22:22.190,1:22:28.050
That means, of course, that it used to be[br]stronger- since it’s getting weaker.

1:22:28.050,1:22:33.070
And it cannot be more than 25,000 years old.[br]Just the earth’s magnetic-field decline limits

1:22:33.070,1:22:34.620
it to less than 25,000 years.

1:22:34.620,1:22:40.730
And that also means carbon dating can’t work.[br]Give you a few examples here: the lower leg

1:22:40.730,1:22:47.730
of a mammoth dated 15,000 years old, but the[br]skin was 21,000.

1:22:48.340,1:22:54.590
One part of a mammoth is 29,000 years and[br]another part, 44,000. You talk about a slow

1:22:54.590,1:22:56.430
birth.

1:22:56.430,1:23:02.320
We cover more on Carbon-14 dating in video[br]#7 and all the serious problems with that.

1:23:02.320,1:23:05.180
The textbooks will say, well, yes the magnetic[br]field is getting weaker, but that’s because

1:23:05.180,1:23:05.750
it’s reversing.

1:23:05.750,1:23:07.949
It’s a pattern of reversals.

1:23:07.949,1:23:12.050
No, there are no magnetic reversals in the[br]magnetic field at the bottom of the ocean.

1:23:12.050,1:23:16.070
We cover that in video #6. This is all a part[br]of another theory called: Pangaea.

1:23:16.070,1:23:17.810
How many have ever heard of “Pangaea” before?

1:23:17.810,1:23:20.030
That all the continents used to fit together.

1:23:20.030,1:23:24.560
Well, I bet they didn’t tell you they shrank[br]Africa nearly 40% to make them fit, did they?

1:23:24.560,1:23:28.130
Did they tell you they took out all of Mexico[br]and Central America?

1:23:28.130,1:23:33.840
“Senor, que pasa donde esta Mexico, Panama,[br]Costa Rica and Guatemala?”

1:23:33.840,1:23:37.940
And you know they don’t tell you what I think[br]ought to be obvious to a kindergartner.

1:23:37.940,1:23:43.880
Did you know if you take the water out of[br]the oceans, you will notice there is dirt

1:23:43.880,1:23:50.449
underneath. People say, “Hovind, do you think[br]the continents were ever connected?”

1:23:50.449,1:23:53.940
I say, “What do you mean? They are still connected.”

1:23:53.940,1:23:58.330
I mean, like right now; it is just the low[br]places are full of water.

1:23:58.330,1:24:01.380
What do you mean “were they connected?” Hello![br]They are still connected.

1:24:01.380,1:24:05.770
What a dumb theory! We cover more of that[br]in video #6 about Pangaea, in what’s called

1:24:05.770,1:24:07.000
“The Hovind Theory.”

1:24:07.000,1:24:10.480
The earth is spinning about 1,000 miles per[br]hour at the equator. But the earth is slowing

1:24:10.480,1:24:11.250
down.

1:24:11.250,1:24:16.130
The earth actually slows down about a thousandth[br]of a second every day.

1:24:16.130,1:24:21.650
The earth slows down. “Astronomy Magazine”[br]ran an article in 1992.

1:24:21.650,1:24:27.860
They said, “Earth’s rotation is slowing down.[br]... June will be one second longer than normal.”

1:24:27.860,1:24:32.500
We will have a leap second. Leap second?

1:24:32.500,1:24:37.310
Yes, they have to have a leap second about[br]every year to year and a half, because the

1:24:37.310,1:24:38.760
earth is slowing down.

1:24:38.760,1:24:43.820
Now kids, this is going to be complicated,[br]so listen carefully.

1:24:43.820,1:24:48.980
The earth is spinning, but it is slowing down

1:24:48.980,1:24:55.980
So that means that it used to be going faster.

1:24:56.270,1:25:02.440
How many can figure this out with no help[br]at all?

1:25:02.440,1:25:05.469
Well, if the earth is only 6,000 years old,[br]this is not a problem.

1:25:05.469,1:25:09.710
I mean, it was going a little faster; Adam[br]wouldn’t notice. He didn’t have a watch anyway.

1:25:09.710,1:25:15.460
Some of the guys would like me to believe[br]that the earth is billions of years old.

1:25:15.460,1:25:18.250
Man, if you go back billions of years, you[br]are going to have a problem.

1:25:18.250,1:25:20.620
The earth would be spinning pretty quick.

1:25:20.620,1:25:26.590
Get up; go to bed. Get up; go to bed. Get[br]up; go to bed. You’d never get anything done.

1:25:26.590,1:25:29.690
Centrifugal force would have been enormous.[br]Man, the winds would have been 5,000 miles

1:25:29.690,1:25:32.449
an hour from the Coriolis effect.

1:25:32.449,1:25:35.340
And you want me to believe the dinosaurs lived[br]millions of years ago?

1:25:35.340,1:25:42.340
I know what happened to them. They got blown[br]off! No, they did not live millions of years

1:25:42.630,1:25:43.430
ago.

1:25:43.430,1:25:45.980
The Sahara Desert has what is called a prevailing[br]wind pattern.

1:25:45.980,1:25:50.969
The wind almost always blows the same way.[br]This creates a serious problem.

1:25:50.969,1:25:56.320
The hot air comes off the desert, kills the[br]trees next door, and that area becomes desert.

1:25:56.320,1:26:00.360
The process is called desertification. You[br]can read about it in an earth science book.

1:26:00.360,1:26:05.460
The Sahara Desert has been studied very carefully.[br]They did a long study on this and said, You

1:26:05.460,1:26:10.890
know what, folks, the Sahara Desert is probably[br]about 4,000 years old.

1:26:10.890,1:26:15.340
That’s when it started growing. Egypt used[br]to be fertile land all over the place.

1:26:15.340,1:26:20.590
OK, well then I have a question: If the earth[br]is millions of years old, why don’t we have

1:26:20.590,1:26:22.770
a bigger desert someplace?

1:26:22.770,1:26:27.010
Why would the biggest desert on planet earth[br]be less than 4,000 years old?

1:26:27.010,1:26:30.270
Well, I have a theory about that. Now here’s[br]my theory.

1:26:30.270,1:26:36.750
I believe about 6,000 years ago, God created[br]everything; 4,400 years ago there was a Flood.

1:26:36.750,1:26:42.090
Now it’s pretty hard to have a desert under[br]a flood. You have got to admit that would

1:26:42.090,1:26:43.440
be tough.

1:26:43.440,1:26:46.880
So the desert couldn’t start growing until[br]the floodwater went down.

1:26:46.880,1:26:51.790
So I predict, based on the Bible, the biggest[br]desert in the world would be less than 4,400

1:26:51.790,1:26:55.180
years old.

1:26:55.180,1:26:59.730
It is! Wow, maybe the Bible’s right.

1:26:59.730,1:27:03.050
You know when they drill into the ground,[br]sometimes they hit oil?

1:27:03.050,1:27:07.850
The oil is under incredible pressure in some[br]places, up to 20,000 (psi) pounds per square

1:27:07.850,1:27:12.510
inch. It will come squirting up out of the[br]ground- 20,000 psi.

1:27:12.510,1:27:16.380
Well, the guys who study the rocks on top[br]of the oil say,

1:27:16.380,1:27:19.989
“You know, it just can’t handle that pressure[br]for more than about 10,000 years.”

1:27:19.989,1:27:25.360
I know the weight of rock supplies pressure,[br]but the pressure in the well is greater than

1:27:25.360,1:27:27.739
the weight of overburden.

1:27:27.739,1:27:31.230
They say it should have cracked the rock and[br]leaked off in less than 10,000 years.

1:27:31.230,1:27:37.449
OK, well then, I have got two questions: Where[br]did the oil come from? And why is it still

1:27:37.449,1:27:38.969
under pressure?

1:27:38.969,1:27:44.239
Well, most scientists agree that oil comes[br]from organisms that are squished.

1:27:44.239,1:27:46.930
They’re changed by heat and pressure into[br]oil.

1:27:46.930,1:27:53.250
They learned in 1971 how to make oil in 20[br]minutes in the laboratory. In Australia they’ve

1:27:53.250,1:27:58.300
got a treatment plant that takes sewage sludge[br]and turns it into oil in 30 minutes.

1:27:58.300,1:28:05.300
There is a factory in Texas that takes turkey[br]guts and pressurizes them, heats them, and

1:28:06.260,1:28:07.280
turns them into oil.

1:28:07.280,1:28:12.180
It said in the article: “We duplicated what[br]Mother Nature does, but what took Mother Nature

1:28:12.180,1:28:15.739
millions of years to do, we do in about 30[br]minutes.”

1:28:15.739,1:28:20.230
Sinclair has the dinosaur as their logo. They[br]say dinosaurs turned into oil.

1:28:20.230,1:28:27.230
Yes, boys and girls, they mellowed for 80[br]million years. I don’t think so.

1:28:28.800,1:28:30.850
I have a theory about the oil, and here is[br]my theory:

1:28:30.850,1:28:37.790
I believe about 6,000 years ago, God created[br]everything; 4,400 years ago there was a Flood.

1:28:37.790,1:28:41.699
In that Flood, lots of critters and people[br]drowned.

1:28:41.699,1:28:44.750
They got buried by the gravel and the rocks[br]and the mud and the sand, and it got pretty

1:28:44.750,1:28:45.980
heavy after a while.

1:28:45.980,1:28:51.770
And it squished them into oil. So the oil’s[br]down there today from the people and animals

1:28:51.770,1:28:57.160
that drowned in that Flood. Which means if[br]you stop to think about it, you drove over

1:28:57.160,1:29:00.400
here tonight on some of your ancestors.

1:29:00.400,1:29:06.930
Well, Noah’s uncles anyway. Next time you’re[br]at the gas station, pumping him in there,

1:29:06.930,1:29:07.890
you can say,

1:29:07.890,1:29:13.190
“Bye, Grandpa. You should have listened to[br]Noah; he told you it was going to rain!”

1:29:13.190,1:29:18.770
Hovind, “We know you teach the earth is only[br]6,000 years old. We would like to prove to

1:29:18.770,1:29:19.850
you, you’re wrong.”

1:29:19.850,1:29:22.980
“Would you come with us, please?” I said,[br]“Sure!”

1:29:22.980,1:29:27.650
They took me to this big freezer outside of[br]Denver, in Lakewood, Colorado.

1:29:27.650,1:29:32.920
It’s the National Ice Core Laboratory. It[br]is -36 degrees F (-38C) in there.

1:29:32.920,1:29:36.930
They put this big suit on me, big hat, big[br]gloves, big boots. I was freezing in five

1:29:36.930,1:29:38.219
seconds when I walked in there.

1:29:38.219,1:29:40.860
I have got Florida blood, you know? It is[br]real thin.

1:29:40.860,1:29:44.489
They said, “Hovind, we go to Greenland and[br]we drill holes through the ice.”

1:29:44.489,1:29:46.719
You know, a government job.

1:29:46.719,1:29:50.110
“And, we take this big pipe and we drill it[br]down, and we bring this ice core out of the

1:29:50.110,1:29:50.920
middle of the pipe.

1:29:50.920,1:29:54.980
And we save it in this big freezer here in[br]Lakewood, Colorado.

1:29:54.980,1:29:58.260
We have ten ice cores from stored in this[br]freezer.”

1:29:58.260,1:30:01.610
They took me over and showed me one of the[br]ice cores. They said, “You see these rings

1:30:01.610,1:30:03.750
on here, looks like tree rings - dark, light,[br]dark, light?”

1:30:03.750,1:30:05.270
I said, “Oh yeah, it’s real clear.”

1:30:05.270,1:30:10.489
They said, “Well what happens, in the summer,[br]the snow melts a little bit, and then it refreezes

1:30:10.489,1:30:11.699
and makes clear ice.”

1:30:11.699,1:30:15.489
(It shows up dark in the picture.)

1:30:15.489,1:30:19.500
In the winter, the snow just packs. It doesn’t[br]get a chance to melt.

1:30:19.500,1:30:21.310
And so it shows up as a white layer.

1:30:21.310,1:30:25.219
So these layers represent: summer, winter,[br]summer, winter, summer, winter, summer, winter.

1:30:25.219,1:30:30.420
And they said, Now, the deepest hole we’ve[br]ever drilled is 10,000 feet deep.

1:30:30.420,1:30:35.790
And we counted these ice rings. And there[br]were 135,000 of them.

1:30:35.790,1:30:39.680
And now you’re going around telling everybody[br]the earth is 6,000 years old.

1:30:39.680,1:30:44.390
We can prove it is at least 135,000 years[br]old.

1:30:44.390,1:30:47.330
I said, “Fellas, aren’t you assuming those[br]are annual rings?”

1:30:47.330,1:30:50.360
See, they didn’t know about the Lost Squadron,[br]apparently.

1:30:50.360,1:30:54.460
But, in World War II, some airplanes ran out[br]of gas and landed in Greenland. Has anybody

1:30:54.460,1:30:57.989
ever heard of the Lost Squadron? OK. It’s[br]been on TV a bunch of times.

1:30:57.989,1:31:02.510
Well, the airplanes got left there in 1942.

1:31:02.510,1:31:04.750
They went on and fought the war, and everyone[br]forgot about them.

1:31:04.750,1:31:09.320
Until a rich millionaire from Kentucky got[br]a brilliant idea. Go find those airplanes

1:31:09.320,1:31:10.750
and bring them home.

1:31:10.750,1:31:15.070
He went there looking for the airplanes. They[br]had to use ground-penetrating radar to penetrate

1:31:15.070,1:31:18.680
the ice, and they located the planes.

1:31:18.680,1:31:25.680
They melted this hole down to get to the P-38.[br]It was 263 feet below the surface. They melted

1:31:25.830,1:31:29.300
this hole down to get down to the plane, took[br]the plane apart, and brought the pieces back

1:31:29.300,1:31:31.160
through the hole.

1:31:31.160,1:31:34.900
And they put them back together in Middlesboro,[br]Kentucky. Not too far from here.

1:31:34.900,1:31:39.640
How far is Middlesboro from Knoxville, Kentucky?[br]Two hours, maybe?

1:31:39.640,1:31:45.620
That’s where their home base is, Middlesboro.[br]The planes were in the ice for 48 years. They

1:31:45.620,1:31:48.300
were 263 feet down. That’s 5 1/2 feet a year.

1:31:48.300,1:31:55.040
Now, the deepest hole they’ve ever drilled[br]is 10,000 feet. You divide that in half and

1:31:55.040,1:31:58.420
you get 1,800 years.

1:31:58.420,1:32:01.400
I know deeper layers get squished - called[br]glacial firn.

1:32:01.400,1:32:06.110
So really 4,000 years is plenty of time to[br]put all the ice at the north and south poles.

1:32:06.110,1:32:09.650
So, why isn’t there more ice at the north[br]and south poles?

1:32:09.650,1:32:15.600
I visited the museum and saw the guy who dug[br]out the airplane - his name is Bob Carden.

1:32:15.600,1:32:21.030
I said, “Bob, when you went down to get to[br]that airplane, did you melt through ice rings?”

1:32:21.030,1:32:23.969
He said, “Oh yeah, many hundreds of them.”

1:32:23.969,1:32:30.710
I said, “Now wait a minute. How can there[br]be hundreds of ice rings in 48 years? Shouldn’t

1:32:30.710,1:32:32.969
there be somewhere around 48?”

1:32:32.969,1:32:39.969
He said, “Who told you those are annual layers?”[br]He said, “That doesn’t represent summer, winter,

1:32:41.860,1:32:42.530
summer, winter.

1:32:42.530,1:32:45.590
It represents warm, cold, warm, cold, warm,[br]cold.”

1:32:45.590,1:32:50.230
You can get five of those in one week in Knoxville,[br]can’t you?

1:32:50.230,1:32:57.230
But here’s a guy still calling them annual[br]layers. Now either he is ignorant, or he is

1:32:57.250,1:32:57.670
lying.

1:32:57.670,1:33:00.949
I hope he is just ignorant because ignorance[br]can be fixed.

1:33:00.949,1:33:05.110
You see, stupid is forever, but ignorance[br]can be fixed. That is the difference by the

1:33:05.110,1:33:06.110
way.

1:33:06.110,1:33:10.610
A guy that works with the Eskimos said, “Brother[br]Hovind, I got 15 layers of snow on my car

1:33:10.610,1:33:12.870
in 8 hours.

1:33:12.870,1:33:16.930
Not 15 inches, 15 distinct layers of snow!”

1:33:16.930,1:33:21.430
Your kids are going to be taught that each[br]of the layers of the earth is a different

1:33:21.430,1:33:21.710
age.

1:33:21.710,1:33:25.210
They’ve got Cenozoic, Mesozoic, Paleozoic,[br]Archaeozoic.

1:33:25.210,1:33:28.170
Did you know the whole geologic column is[br]bologna?

1:33:28.170,1:33:31.920
It doesn’t exist. We cover that on video #4.

1:33:31.920,1:33:37.699
All over the world petrified trees are found[br]standing up connecting these rock layers.

1:33:37.699,1:33:42.250
A petrified tree connecting a bunch of layers[br]- there can’t be millions of years difference

1:33:42.250,1:33:44.110
in the age of the layers.

1:33:44.110,1:33:47.449
One is at Cookville, Tennessee- not far from[br]here.

1:33:47.449,1:33:51.400
The bottom is coalified; the center is petrified;[br]the top is coalified again.

1:33:51.400,1:33:54.090
The tree trunk runs through two coal seams.

1:33:54.090,1:33:58.750
We cover more of that in video #6 about coal[br]formation. Mount Saint Helens blew trees into

1:33:58.750,1:33:59.430
Spirit Lake.

1:33:59.430,1:34:02.160
They’re going to petrify very quickly - standing[br]up.

1:34:02.160,1:34:06.120
That’s the way they sank to the bottom. They[br]got water logged. Wood petrifies quickly.

1:34:06.120,1:34:07.890
Here is petrified firewood.

1:34:07.890,1:34:12.969
Here is a petrified fish giving birth. It[br]does not take millions of years to give birth.

1:34:12.969,1:34:16.370
Petrified cowboy boot with the cowboy’s leg[br]still in it.

1:34:16.370,1:34:19.699
The article’s on the table down here called[br]“The Limestone Cowboy.”

1:34:19.699,1:34:26.699
The Mississippi River is depositing sediments[br]at the rate of 80,000 tons every hour. 80,000

1:34:29.480,1:34:34.580
tons of mud comes down and dumps off round[br]New Orleans and that delta is growing larger

1:34:34.580,1:34:36.350
and larger.

1:34:36.350,1:34:39.770
They studied the delta pretty carefully, and[br]they say it probably took 30,000 years to

1:34:39.770,1:34:43.780
put all that mud out there in the delta.

1:34:43.780,1:34:45.989
Well then, I have a question.

1:34:45.989,1:34:49.710
If the earth is millions of years old, why[br]isn’t the whole Gulf of Mexico full of mud

1:34:49.710,1:34:50.699
by now?

1:34:50.699,1:34:56.000
They’ll say, “Hovind, it’s 30,000 years; that[br]proves the Bible is wrong. The Bible says

1:34:56.000,1:35:01.440
6,000.” I know, but I have a theory about[br]that.

1:35:01.440,1:35:08.440
I believe 6,000 years ago God made everything;[br]4,400 hundred years ago there was a Flood.

1:35:08.500,1:35:15.320
As the floodwater was running off, about half[br]of that mud washed out there in 20 minutes.

1:35:15.320,1:35:21.460
So it looks like it took 30,000 years to get[br]the mud out there. It took about 20 minutes

1:35:21.460,1:35:23.540
and then 4,400 years since then.

1:35:23.540,1:35:26.219
A friend of mine from Louisiana is a pastor[br]of a church.

1:35:26.219,1:35:30.860
He said, “Brother Hovind, I used to work in[br]the oil field drilling in the Gulf of Mexico-

1:35:30.860,1:35:32.320
drilling for oil.”

1:35:32.320,1:35:37.750
He said, “We drilled down through 14,000 feet[br]of mud and hit trees 60 feet tall standing

1:35:37.750,1:35:40.000
up.”

1:35:40.000,1:35:44.570
60-foot vertical trees under 14,000 feet of[br]mud.

1:35:44.570,1:35:45.710
More about that on video #6.

1:35:45.710,1:35:48.610
Here is a picture of the oldest tree on the[br]planet.

1:35:48.610,1:35:50.380
It’s called the Bristle cone pine.

1:35:50.380,1:35:52.890
We have a piece of Bristle cone in our museum[br]in Pensacola.

1:35:52.890,1:35:56.949
It’s only 30 inches in diameter and it’s 700[br]years old. You can count the rings with a

1:35:56.949,1:35:57.900
magnifying glass.

1:35:57.900,1:36:03.140
It grows real slow. Now tree-ring dating is[br]not an exact science.

1:36:03.140,1:36:07.230
Trees can produce two rings a year or three[br]rings a year.

1:36:07.230,1:36:10.830
And be very careful about tree-ring dating[br]with overlapping sequencing.

1:36:10.830,1:36:13.040
We cover more on that during video #7, Q & A[br]time, if you would like.

1:36:13.040,1:36:19.800
The oldest tree in the world, this textbook[br]says, is 4,300 years old, earth’s oldest organism.

1:36:19.800,1:36:26.120
That’s a pretty old tree. But I’ve got a question.

1:36:26.120,1:36:30.620
If the earth is millions of years old, why[br]don’t we have an older tree someplace?

1:36:30.620,1:36:37.620
Why would the oldest tree be 4,300 years old?[br]I have a theory about that. Here’s my theory.

1:36:37.630,1:36:43.630
I believe about 6,000 years ago God made everything;[br]4,400 years ago there was a Flood.

1:36:43.630,1:36:49.940
And so I predict the oldest tree ought to[br]be somewhere around 4,300 years old. It is!

1:36:49.940,1:36:51.000
Wow!

1:36:51.000,1:36:55.190
Maybe that Bible is right! Maybe I ought to[br]read that thing and believe it.

1:36:55.190,1:36:58.630
Here is a picture of a coral reef. Did you[br]know that the largest reef in the world is

1:36:58.630,1:37:00.510
in Australia?

1:37:00.510,1:37:03.050
I had a call from a church in Brisbane one[br]time. They said, “Do you want to come preach

1:37:03.050,1:37:04.260
over here in Australia?”

1:37:04.260,1:37:10.910
I said I need to pray about this. (He said,[br]“Yes!”) I took my whole family over to Australia

1:37:10.910,1:37:10.910
with me.

1:37:10.910,1:37:15.640
My daughter and I got to go scuba diving at[br]the Great Barrier Reef. It was incredible!

1:37:15.640,1:37:20.910
Some of the reef was destroyed during World[br]War II by ships and anchors and bombs and

1:37:20.910,1:37:21.620
stuff like that.

1:37:21.620,1:37:25.640
So the environmentalists went out there to[br]see how fast it grows back.

1:37:25.640,1:37:32.640
They watched the reef grow for 20 years. (It[br]was a government project.)

1:37:36.989,1:37:41.770
After watching it grow for 20 years, they[br]said the reef is less than 4,200 years old.

1:37:41.770,1:37:47.030
OK. Well, than I have a question.

1:37:47.030,1:37:51.719
If the earth is millions of years old, why[br]don’t we have a bigger reef someplace?

1:37:51.719,1:37:58.640
Why on earth would the biggest reef be only[br]4,200 years old? I have a theory about that.

1:37:58.640,1:38:03.300
I bet you know what it is, don’t you? Can[br]you figure it out by now? Here’s a picture

1:38:03.300,1:38:04.750
of Niagara Falls.

1:38:04.750,1:38:08.760
The textbook says, “Boys and girls, the rocky[br]ledge above Niagara Falls has been eroding

1:38:08.760,1:38:10.340
for nearly 9,900 years.”

1:38:10.340,1:38:15.370
Now how do they know that? Well, the rocks[br]are breaking off the edge.

1:38:15.370,1:38:20.469
I mean, all waterfalls do that. They break[br]rocks off and the waterfall eats its way backwards.

1:38:20.469,1:38:22.980
Flows one direction; erodes the other direction.

1:38:22.980,1:38:27.650
Niagara Falls is moving back 4.7 feet a year.

1:38:27.650,1:38:31.469
Charles Lyell went there in 1841 and said,[br]“Well, Niagara Falls is here. Obviously, it

1:38:31.469,1:38:36.400
started up here at the cliff by Lewiston,[br]New York [moving back down the gully].”

1:38:36.400,1:38:41.239
He said, “10,000 years worth of erosion.”[br]The people that lived there said, “Charlie,

1:38:41.239,1:38:44.719
it erodes a whole lot faster than you think.

1:38:44.719,1:38:49.080
One good rainstorm and there is a whole lot[br]of erosion takes place.” He figured three

1:38:49.080,1:38:49.630
feet a year

1:38:49.630,1:38:53.140
(purposely to make the Bible look wrong).

1:38:53.140,1:38:55.630
He hated the Bible. We get into more about[br]him in video #4.

1:38:55.630,1:38:59.290
Today Niagara Falls is way back there, split[br]over that island.

1:38:59.290,1:39:04.640
There are actually two Niagara Falls: the[br]Canadian side and the American side.

1:39:04.640,1:39:07.880
It has eroded back quite a ways just since[br]Charles Lyles’ time.

1:39:07.880,1:39:14.880
The textbook says, “This gorge that the river[br]runs into is 7.5 miles long. A simple calculation

1:39:14.880,1:39:19.429
shows it’s been 9,900 years.” Oh, it’s not[br]that simple.

1:39:19.429,1:39:24.020
See Niagara Falls is right here. It started[br]up further north up by Lewiston.

1:39:24.020,1:39:29.420
If the earth is millions of years old, why[br]hasn’t it eroded back to Lake Erie by now?

1:39:29.420,1:39:36.420
Why is Niagara Falls right there? I have a[br]theory about that. Here is my theory.

1:39:36.699,1:39:42.620
You see about 6,000 years ago, God made everything;[br]and 4,400 years ago there was a Flood.

1:39:42.620,1:39:48.530
As the floodwater was running off, about half[br]of that creek washed out in 20 minutes.

1:39:48.530,1:39:51.530
So it looks like it took 9,900 years. They[br]forgot the Flood.

1:39:51.530,1:39:56.219
They also forgot to get the right number.[br]It should have been 8,400 had they used 4.7,

1:39:56.219,1:39:58.130
but what do you expect?

1:39:58.130,1:40:01.630
When it rains, 30% of the water runs into[br]the ocean,

1:40:01.630,1:40:06.190
bringing with it mineral salts. The oceans[br]are getting saltier every day.

1:40:06.190,1:40:12.540
Today the oceans are 3.6% salt. They could[br]have done that in less than 5,000 years.

1:40:12.540,1:40:15.570
Question: Why aren’t the oceans saltier?

1:40:15.570,1:40:22.570
Well, you see 6,000 years ago God made everything;[br]4,400 years ago there was a Flood.

1:40:23.940,1:40:29.010
Now since the Flood’s been over, the oceans[br]have gradually gotten saltier.

1:40:29.010,1:40:32.710
One atheist I debated said, “Hovind, can you[br]please tell me how the fresh-water fish survived

1:40:32.710,1:40:33.770
the Flood?”

1:40:33.770,1:40:40.140
I said, “Sir, aren’t you assuming the flood[br]was salt water.” He said, “The ocean is salt

1:40:40.140,1:40:43.410
water.” I said, “It is - today.

1:40:43.410,1:40:49.380
During the Flood it was probably mostly fresh[br]water and it has gradually gotten saltier.

1:40:49.380,1:40:53.130
And today some animals have had to adapt to[br]salt water.

1:40:53.130,1:40:56.890
And now we have fresh-water crocodiles, and[br]salt-water crocodiles, and they probably had

1:40:56.890,1:41:03.469
a common ancestor.

1:41:03.469,1:41:05.840
A crocodile.” He said, “That’s evolution.”[br]I said, “No, it’s not.”

1:41:05.840,1:41:11.160
“Going from a fresh-water croc to a salt-water[br]croc is a minor change compared to your evolution

1:41:11.160,1:41:16.920
story. You believe they changed from a rock[br]to a crocodile. Now, that’s a major change!”

1:41:16.920,1:41:22.750
A friend of mine in Alabama raises fish and[br]said he took a fresh-water fish, Black Mollies.

1:41:22.750,1:41:27.230
He slowly added salt to their aquarium. In[br]two weeks, they became salt-water fish.

1:41:27.230,1:41:32.070
When he put them back in fresh water, they[br]died in 30 minutes.

1:41:32.070,1:41:34.090
They can adapt to salt water, not a problem.

1:41:34.090,1:41:37.980
How many have ever gone into a cave and the[br]guide said, “Don’t touch the formations; they

1:41:37.980,1:41:41.239
take millions of years to form.” They’ve all[br]got the same speech, right?

1:41:41.239,1:41:47.250
What’s the one in Kentucky? Mammoth Cave?[br]Or go to Carlsbad Caverns, and they say it

1:41:47.250,1:41:48.780
took 250 million years.

1:41:48.780,1:41:52.260
They did a study on these stalactites. And[br]one guy said, “You know, the fastest they

1:41:52.260,1:41:57.590
can grow is 2.5 inches per thousand years.[br]That’s the maximum growth rate.” I don’t think

1:41:57.590,1:42:01.510
so. Here are some 50-inch stalactites growing[br]under the Lincoln Memorial.

1:42:01.510,1:42:07.360
They did that in 40 years. Here is a bat covered[br]up with flowstone before it could even rot.

1:42:07.360,1:42:12.429
Here are 2-inch stalactites growing off a[br]refrigeration shed in Pensacola, Florida.

1:42:12.429,1:42:16.699
Here is a guy in a building in Indiana built[br]just 40 years ago. It has huge cave formations

1:42:16.699,1:42:19.530
in the basement of the building from water[br]leaking through the limestone.

1:42:19.530,1:42:24.140
Here’s a mine that was shut down in Australia[br]for 55 years. When they opened it back up

1:42:24.140,1:42:27.590
to check it out, there were already huge cave[br]formations in 55 years.

1:42:27.590,1:42:34.120
Here is a pipe that was dripping for 7 years.[br]It made a 13-inch stalactite. I thought it

1:42:34.120,1:42:39.650
was 2.5 inches per thousand years. It’s more[br]like 2 inches per year.

1:42:39.650,1:42:43.850
They broke off the stalagmite that was under[br]it and gave it to me. It’s in my museum.

1:42:43.850,1:42:49.620
Here is a parking garage built in 1997 in[br]Texas. It was making stalagmites on the students’

1:42:49.620,1:42:51.120
cars parking under it.

1:42:51.120,1:42:54.040
They had to put up a drip pan to catch the[br]water.

1:42:54.040,1:42:59.179
A guy in Wyoming had a hot mineral spring[br]on his property in Thermopolis, Wyoming; so

1:42:59.179,1:43:00.969
he stuck a pipe in the ground.

1:43:00.969,1:43:05.050
The water came out the top of the pipe and[br]bubbled down the side of the top of the pipe.

1:43:05.050,1:43:08.020
They had a little fountain. They called it[br]the Tepee Fountain.

1:43:08.020,1:43:12.150
Well, the guy died. They left the pipe sticking[br]in the yard.

1:43:12.150,1:43:16.590
As the pipe was there, it left behind mineral[br]deposits as the water evaporated.

1:43:16.590,1:43:20.739
How many have seen these mineral deposits?[br]You get them on your sink up here.

1:43:20.739,1:43:26.179
The guy died, and about 95 years later, the[br]pipe was still stuck in the ground. I went

1:43:26.179,1:43:27.020
to see it.

1:43:27.020,1:43:34.020
Here it is, back in 1998. That would take[br]some Lime A-way to scrub that thing clean,

1:43:34.320,1:43:35.480
don’t you think?

1:43:35.480,1:43:41.360
Yes, a little bit. The guy down the street[br]started his later. It’s not quite as big.

1:43:41.360,1:43:48.340
You know, at the current rate of erosion,[br]the continents will erode flat in 14 million

1:43:48.340,1:43:49.350
years?

1:43:49.350,1:43:52.410
Why do they tell us that we’ve got fossils[br]that are 300 times older than that, still

1:43:52.410,1:43:53.190
above sea level?

1:43:53.190,1:43:55.190
They should have washed out to sea 300 times.

1:43:55.190,1:43:59.880
All you’ve got to do is fly out west and look[br]at the erosion patterns, and you will say,

1:43:59.880,1:44:02.290
“This place was destroyed by a flood.”

1:44:02.290,1:44:04.300
The whole world was destroyed by a Flood.

1:44:04.300,1:44:10.010
Just fly around like I do and look out the[br]window once in a while.

1:44:10.010,1:44:15.170
The oldest languages in the world are kind[br]of interesting. “Origin of Major Writing Systems”

1:44:15.170,1:44:19.210
from “National Geographic.” What do they say?

1:44:19.210,1:44:26.210
Well, they say that the oldest writing systems[br]in the world started about 3,000 BC - 5,000

1:44:27.140,1:44:27.780
years ago.

1:44:27.780,1:44:34.780
The oldest writing systems. And the oldest[br]languages are modern, sophisticated, and complete.

1:44:35.370,1:44:39.050
The Chinese said the year 2,000 was the year[br]4,700.

1:44:39.050,1:44:44.219
They think they started their calendar with[br]the Flood. They called Noah, Phu Hi.

1:44:44.219,1:44:50.489
The oldest recorded capital punishment was[br]3,800 years ago. The Hebrew calendar said

1:44:50.489,1:44:53.400
the year 2000 was 5760.

1:44:53.400,1:44:56.380
We know the Hebrew calendar was messed up[br]because a Rabbi purposely took some years

1:44:56.380,1:44:59.239
out, to make it not match the prophecy to[br]fit Jesus.

1:44:59.239,1:45:04.850
The Saxons had a genealogy going back to Adam.[br]The Danes and Norwegians had a king list going

1:45:04.850,1:45:07.449
back to Noah.

1:45:07.449,1:45:10.520
Don’t trust the Egyptian king list. It is[br]greatly exaggerated.

1:45:10.520,1:45:13.199
See the work by Courville on that, in “The[br]Evolution Cruncher.”

1:45:13.199,1:45:18.380
Why are the oldest reliable historical records[br]less than 6,000 years old?

1:45:18.380,1:45:25.100
Well, I have a theory about that. I bet you[br]know what it is, don’t you?

1:45:25.100,1:45:29.190
That Bible is absolutely right, folks. Absolutely[br]correct, scientifically.

1:45:29.190,1:45:35.790
The evidence for a young earth is overwhelming.[br]Students aren’t taught that.

1:45:35.790,1:45:40.449
Students are only shown the evidence for an[br]old earth. Remember the coins in the box?

1:45:40.449,1:45:44.630
They’d better deal with the youngest ones.[br]Not the oldest ones.

1:45:44.630,1:45:48.550
These books aren’t really science books anymore.[br]They are books about evolution.

1:45:48.550,1:45:51.440
I think it’s part of a much bigger picture,[br]for a New World Order.

1:45:51.440,1:45:55.699
You see, the guys that started this country[br]said, “We hold these truths to be self evident...

1:45:55.699,1:46:02.699
All men are created equal, they are endowed[br]by their Creator with certain unalienable

1:46:05.830,1:46:12.280
rights.”

1:46:12.280,1:46:19.280
But did you know that 75% of kids from Christian[br]homes who go to public schools will reject

1:46:22.330,1:46:24.699
the Christian faith after one year of college?

1:46:24.699,1:46:28.660
That’s what happened to Crawford Toy.

1:46:28.660,1:46:32.030
Most people have never heard of Crawford Toy,[br]but he was a very famous Southern Baptist

1:46:32.030,1:46:34.989
seminary professor.

1:46:34.989,1:46:40.179
He almost married a girl named Lottie Moon.[br]Has anybody ever heard of Lottie Moon?

1:46:40.179,1:46:43.679
You know, you guys have the Lottie Moon offering[br]every Christmas. She was a great missionary

1:46:43.679,1:46:44.670
to China.

1:46:44.670,1:46:50.070
Crawford Toy, after the Civil War, went to[br]Europe and learned about evolution.

1:46:50.070,1:46:54.719
He sucked it in, and believed it. He became[br]an evolutionist.

1:46:54.719,1:46:57.739
Crawford came back to his Bible class and[br]said, “You know, the Bible intends to teach

1:46:57.739,1:46:59.600
a plain six-day creation.

1:46:59.600,1:47:05.500
The Bible is simply in error at that point.”

1:47:05.500,1:47:08.510
The Bible is in error?! Now Crawford, hold[br]on!

1:47:08.510,1:47:14.610
Maybe your theory is in error and maybe you[br]got brainwashed. It’s very easy to get brainwashed.

1:47:14.610,1:47:20.080
I am going to try to brainwash the whole crowd,[br]and then we are going to quit and go home.

1:47:20.080,1:47:23.640
Tomorrow we’ll talk about the Garden of Eden.[br]What was that like? And why did they live

1:47:23.640,1:47:24.560
to be 900?

1:47:24.560,1:47:27.620
But first, I want to try to brainwash everybody.[br]Here’s what’s going to happen.

1:47:27.620,1:47:33.830
I am going to tell you a little story. As[br]I tell the story, I will brainwash you.

1:47:33.830,1:47:37.239
Maybe you’ve never been brainwashed before.[br]It’s a harmless procedure. Don’t worry about

1:47:37.239,1:47:37.969
it.

1:47:37.969,1:47:43.280
When I am done telling the story, I will ask[br]you two simple questions about the story.

1:47:43.280,1:47:47.090
If you know the answer, I just want you to[br]raise your hand.

1:47:47.090,1:47:51.699
If you don’t know the answer, it will be because[br]you have been successfully brainwashed.

1:47:51.699,1:47:58.699
Now pay attention: here goes the story. Once[br]upon a time, a man left home, jogging.

1:47:59.530,1:48:04.840
He jogged a little ways and turned left. He[br]jogged a little ways and turned left.

1:48:04.840,1:48:08.710
He jogged a little ways, turned left, and[br]jogged back home.

1:48:08.710,1:48:14.080
As he was jogging home, he noticed two masked[br]men waiting for him at home.

1:48:14.080,1:48:18.219
Who were the masked men? And why did he leave[br]home jogging?

1:48:18.219,1:48:22.449
If you know, raise your hand, but don’t say[br]it out loud. There are about five or six.

1:48:22.449,1:48:28.110
The rest of you, pay attention, we are going[br]to try it again.

1:48:28.110,1:48:32.710
Once upon a time, a man left home jogging.[br]He jogged a little ways and turned left.

1:48:32.710,1:48:37.850
I’ll give you a hint - that’s important. He[br]jogged a little ways and turned left.

1:48:37.850,1:48:41.719
He jogged a little ways, turned left, and[br]jogged back home.

1:48:41.719,1:48:45.570
As he was jogging home, he noticed two masked[br]men waiting for him at home.

1:48:45.570,1:48:50.469
Who were the masked men? And why did he leave[br]home jogging?

1:48:50.469,1:48:53.820
Anybody new figure it out? ...Two more.

1:48:53.820,1:48:58.820
The rest of you, pay attention. We are going[br]to try it one more time.

1:48:58.820,1:49:02.679
But now I am going to un-brainwash you.

1:49:02.679,1:49:08.130
See, you didn’t realize it, but I had you[br]brainwashed in the first three seconds.

1:49:08.130,1:49:13.170
I am going to un-brainwash all of you now,[br]just by showing you a couple of pictures.

1:49:13.170,1:49:17.310
I’ll tell the same story word for word, but[br]watch the pictures.

1:49:17.310,1:49:19.860
You will feel yourself get un-brainwashed.

1:49:19.860,1:49:24.370
It’s the coolest feeling. Are you ready? Here[br]goes.

1:49:24.370,1:49:31.310
Once upon a time, a man left home jogging.[br]He jogged a little ways and turned left.

1:49:31.310,1:49:35.850
He jogged a little ways and turned left. He[br]jogged a little ways, turned left, and jogged

1:49:35.850,1:49:37.260
back home.

1:49:37.260,1:49:42.510
As he was jogging home, he noticed two masked[br]men waiting for him at home.

1:49:42.510,1:49:46.620
Who were the masked men? The catcher and the[br]umpire!

1:49:46.620,1:49:53.260
You say, “Brother Hovind, is it that easy[br]to get brainwashed?” Oh yeah!

1:49:53.260,1:49:57.690
You see, as soon as I said, “A man left home...”

1:49:57.690,1:50:02.030
You started thinking about a house. And you[br]were off track.

1:50:02.030,1:50:05.750
And once you get off track, it’s pretty tough[br]to get back on.

1:50:05.750,1:50:09.810
Would you like to see how kids get brainwashed[br]in your school system by the millions every

1:50:09.810,1:50:11.560
year?

1:50:11.560,1:50:15.310
Millions of kids in America, every single[br]year, get brainwashed. And it’s so simple

1:50:15.310,1:50:16.489
how they do it.

1:50:16.489,1:50:20.580
They put the kid in kindergarten; he can’t[br]even read yet.

1:50:20.580,1:50:26.679
And they give him a book like this: “I Can[br]Read About Dinosaurs.”

1:50:26.679,1:50:31.330
Would anybody like to just take a wild guess[br]at what the first sentence in the book says?

1:50:31.330,1:50:35.100
“Millions of years ago....”

1:50:35.100,1:50:40.640
And that kid’s being thrown off track in the[br]first five seconds.

1:50:40.640,1:50:46.610
How many kids are being taught that in your[br]town? Like all of them. That’s calling Jesus

1:50:46.610,1:50:47.640
a liar.

1:50:47.640,1:50:52.870
Did dinosaurs live millions of years ago?[br]Dr. Seuss even says it, “Millions of years

1:50:52.870,1:50:54.710
before you were born.”

1:50:54.710,1:50:58.739
Jesus said the creation of Adam was the beginning.

1:50:58.739,1:51:03.750
Somebody’s wrong, folks! Now wait a minute,[br]the Bible says before the Flood came, they

1:51:03.750,1:51:06.040
lived to be 900 years old.

1:51:06.040,1:51:13.040
How is that possible? Oh, we’ll cover that[br]in seminar part #2 tomorrow. What about the

1:51:13.480,1:51:13.980
Flood?

1:51:13.980,1:51:18.280
Well, that’s covered in video #6. And what[br]about dinosaurs? Well, that’s covered on video

1:51:18.280,1:51:18.610
#3.

1:51:18.610,1:51:22.640
But listen, you are going to be told in school[br]you started like a slime and you slowly became

1:51:22.640,1:51:26.000
a human. You be careful, because that philosophy[br]will spoil you.

1:51:26.000,1:51:31.460
Jesus said, “Beware lest any man spoil you[br]through philosophy and vain deceit, after

1:51:31.460,1:51:35.350
the tradition of men, after the rudiments[br]of the world, and not after Christ.”

1:51:35.350,1:51:39.590
Hey, if a child goes 12 to 16 years to school[br]in your town, how is he going to view the

1:51:39.590,1:51:42.060
world?

1:51:42.060,1:51:44.790
Probably as an evolutionist.

1:51:44.790,1:51:50.280
If the Bible is right about the beginning,[br]maybe it’s right about the end. Let’s summarize

1:51:50.280,1:51:51.580
here.

1:51:51.580,1:51:56.159
God made the world. He owns it. He makes the[br]rules. And we are all guilty of breaking His

1:51:56.159,1:51:57.640
rules.

1:51:57.640,1:51:59.420
Everyone of us. Let me show you. Here are[br]the Ten Commandments.

1:51:59.420,1:52:05.790
He told us, “Thou shall not bear false witness.”[br](Don’t lie.) How many of you have ever told

1:52:05.790,1:52:09.100
a lie in your life?

1:52:09.100,1:52:12.640
Put your hand up, or you’re telling another[br]one if you don’t!

1:52:12.640,1:52:17.210
“Thou shalt not steal.” How many ever stole[br]something?

1:52:17.210,1:52:22.850
Come on, you already told me you are a liar.[br]Put your hand up. (Did your hand go up, there,

1:52:22.850,1:52:24.440
brother? Put it up.)

1:52:24.440,1:52:28.120
So far, we know we’re all a bunch of lying[br]thieves, right?

1:52:28.120,1:52:31.770
Do you want to read the whole list and see[br]how we are doing? We’d better stop right there.

1:52:31.770,1:52:35.310
There is no question, we are guilty. And we[br]are going to be punished.

1:52:35.310,1:52:39.090
God is a righteous judge. He cannot look upon[br]sin, and we are going to be punished.

1:52:39.090,1:52:44.199
Or, you need to find a substitute. That’s[br]where Jesus comes in.

1:52:44.199,1:52:46.190
He wants to pay for your sins.

1:52:46.190,1:52:49.679
Thirty-six years ago, I told him he could[br]pay for mine. I asked him to forgive me and

1:52:49.679,1:52:50.570
save me.

1:52:50.570,1:52:56.550
Hey, if you died today, where would you go?[br]Smoking or non-smoking?

1:52:56.550,1:53:01.850
Where are you going when you die?

1:53:01.850,1:53:08.780
You ought to think about that, because you[br]are going to be dead for a really long time.

1:53:08.780,1:53:13.090
All you get in this life is a little bitty[br]dash between two dates. I am going to die

1:53:13.090,1:53:13.600
someday.

1:53:13.600,1:53:19.409
I am going to try to make it the last thing[br]I do, but it’s going to happen. It could happen

1:53:19.409,1:53:20.550
today.

1:53:20.550,1:53:25.060
Have you seen the way they drive around Knoxville,[br]Tennessee?

1:53:25.060,1:53:26.969
You have got some certified rednecks out there,[br]folks.

1:53:26.969,1:53:32.310
And you could get killed on the way home tonight.[br]Where are you going when you die?

1:53:32.310,1:53:37.179
If you are not sure you are saved, why don’t[br]you ask the Lord to forgive you and save you.

1:53:37.179,1:53:41.140
And if you are saved, what on earth are you[br]doing for Heaven’s sake?

1:53:41.140,1:53:45.219
Everybody ought to find something to do for[br]the Lord. There is a war going on; find something

1:53:45.219,1:53:45.750
to do.

1:53:45.750,1:53:50.280
Get busy. Win souls. Be a Sunday school teacher,[br]bus driver; do something for God with your

1:53:50.280,1:53:50.530
life.

1:53:50.420,1:53:53.640
If we can help, that is what our materials[br]are for. There’s a catalog on the back table

1:53:53.640,1:53:54.130
back there.

1:53:54.130,1:53:57.390
as well as our videos. We want to help strengthen[br]your faith in God’s Word.

1:53:57.390,1:54:02.460
We hope you’ve enjoyed this series on creation,[br]evolution, and dinosaurs.

1:54:02.460,1:54:06.100
Much more important, though, than knowing[br]all the truths and facts about science,

1:54:06.100,1:54:08.260
is to know the truth about whether you’re[br]going to Heaven or not.

1:54:08.260,1:54:11.000
If you’ve never trusted Christ as your Savior,

1:54:11.000,1:54:13.890
Let me explain quickly what you need to do[br]to be able to go to Heaven.

1:54:13.890,1:54:17.370
The Bible says we’re all sinners. We’ve all[br]broken God’s laws.

1:54:17.370,1:54:22.350
We’ve disobeyed the Creator. We’ve done wicked[br]things; we’re sinners.

1:54:22.350,1:54:26.590
Some are worse than others, at least in man’s[br]eyes, but we’ve all broken God’s laws.

1:54:26.590,1:54:29.719
The Bible says you have to repent. The word[br]repent means “to turn.”

1:54:29.719,1:54:33.800
It actually means two things, “to turn from[br]your sin, and to turn to God.”

1:54:33.800,1:54:35.360
God’s looking for a change in your attitude.

1:54:35.360,1:54:39.820
You say, “Lord, I don’t want to do wrong anymore;[br]I’m sorry I have offended You. I want to do

1:54:39.820,1:54:40.320
right.”

1:54:40.320,1:54:42.900
And you turn from sin and you turn to God.

1:54:42.900,1:54:46.070
You say, “God, would you please forgive me,[br]would you save me?”

1:54:46.070,1:54:48.750
The Bible says in Romans 3:23,

1:54:48.750,1:54:54.159
“All have sinned and come short of the glory[br]of God.” You need to admit you’re a sinner.

1:54:54.159,1:54:58.290
Number two, the Bible says in Romans 6:23,[br]“The wages of sin is death.”

1:54:58.290,1:55:03.840
We deserve to die and go to hell because of[br]our sin, but Jesus died for you.

1:55:03.840,1:55:06.530
He loves you. He wants you come to Heaven.

1:55:06.530,1:55:10.949
Anybody that will ask Him for free salvation[br]God will give the gift of eternal life, it

1:55:10.949,1:55:12.429
says in Romans 6:23.

1:55:12.429,1:55:17.489
It’s a free gift. And it says in Romans 10:13,[br]“Whosoever shall call upon the name of the

1:55:17.489,1:55:19.590
Lord shall be saved.”

1:55:19.590,1:55:24.010
If you would just call and say, “Lord, I’m[br]a sinner. Please forgive me,” and ask Him,

1:55:24.010,1:55:26.510
He will give you that free gift of eternal[br]life.

1:55:26.510,1:55:29.840
Why don’t you just pray with me right now[br]and you could receive Christ as your Savior.

1:55:29.840,1:55:33.370
There are no magic words; God’s looking at[br]your heart, but if you could say this and

1:55:33.370,1:55:35.030
mean it, God would forgive you.

1:55:35.030,1:55:40.980
Just say, “Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I’m[br]a sinner. I’ve broken Your laws. I’m sorry.

1:55:40.980,1:55:42.620
Please forgive me.

1:55:42.620,1:55:48.600
Please apply Your blood to my account. Forgive[br]my sins and take me to Heaven. In Jesus’ name,

1:55:48.600,1:55:49.100
Amen.”

1:55:49.100,1:55:52.940
The Bible says if you call upon the Lord,[br]you shall be saved.

1:55:52.940,1:55:56.600
So if you’ve asked the Lord to save you, He[br]promised He’d save you. Now your job is to

1:55:56.600,1:55:57.170
grow.

1:55:57.170,1:56:00.770
Read your Bible, pray, get involved in a good[br]Bible-believing church, and begin to grow

1:56:00.770,1:56:02.030
to be a good Christian.

1:56:02.030,1:56:05.880
