1
00:00:03,060 --> 00:00:05,200
Have you ever thought about it?

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,850
I mean really, what is the purpose to life?

3
00:00:07,850 --> 00:00:10,389
Why are we here? Where did we come from?

4
00:00:10,389 --> 00:00:14,740
For that matter, where are we going to go
when this life is over?

5
00:00:14,740 --> 00:00:17,320
This seminar talks about the age of the earth.

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,970
Dr. Hovind gives solid evidence to show that
this earth is not billions of years old.

7
00:00:21,970 --> 00:00:25,140
In fact, the evidence points towards a literal
six-day creation.

8
00:00:25,140 --> 00:00:27,539
Just like we’re told about in Genesis chapter
one.

9
00:00:27,539 --> 00:00:31,529
Hi, my name is Eric, and we hope you enjoy
this incredibly powerful seminar.

10
00:00:31,529 --> 00:00:36,860
It is presented by Dr. Hovind. It’s called
“The Age of the Earth.”

11
00:00:36,860 --> 00:00:43,640
Well, it is an honor to be here tonight in
Tennessee. My name is Kent Hovind.

12
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:48,140
I taught high school science for 15 years,
and now for 16 years I have been an evangelist

13
00:00:48,140 --> 00:00:51,760
doing seminars on creation, evolution, and
dinosaurs.

14
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,940
And I tell people right up front that I believe
the Bible is the infallible, inspired, inerrant

15
00:00:56,940 --> 00:00:58,070
Word of the Living God.

16
00:00:58,070 --> 00:01:03,440
I believe it from cover to cover. I even believe
the cover on mine; it says: Kent Hovind.

17
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,530
And for those who don’t know, the Bible is
your Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.

18
00:01:07,530 --> 00:01:10,259
You really ought to read the book because
you are going to be gone for an awfully long

19
00:01:10,259 --> 00:01:10,880
time.

20
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,670
And when you leave here, there is no coming
back, so make sure you are going to the right

21
00:01:15,670 --> 00:01:16,030
spot.

22
00:01:16,030 --> 00:01:21,409
Now, one of my jobs as a Christian is “to
be ready always to give an answer to every

23
00:01:21,409 --> 00:01:23,780
man that asketh a reason of the hope that
is in us.”

24
00:01:23,780 --> 00:01:27,170
I think in the last few hundred years the
Christians have not done a good job of answering

25
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:29,219
this evolution theory.

26
00:01:29,219 --> 00:01:31,950
And we’ve tolerated this philosophy of evolution
which is actually a religion.

27
00:01:31,950 --> 00:01:35,840
We have allowed this religion to take over
our school system and our legal system.

28
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:41,119
Our whole thinking process now is based on
a philosophy which has zero scientific evidence.

29
00:01:41,119 --> 00:01:41,950
None!

30
00:01:41,950 --> 00:01:47,289
We’ve been offering $250,000 for anybody with
any real scientific evidence for evolution.

31
00:01:47,289 --> 00:01:49,209
That offer has been out there for 12 years
now.

32
00:01:49,209 --> 00:01:51,259
There is no real scientific evidence for it
whatsoever.

33
00:01:51,259 --> 00:01:53,579
People believe in it, I understand; but that
doesn’t make it science.

34
00:01:53,579 --> 00:01:56,149
Now, there are three things I try to accomplish
in my seminar.

35
00:01:56,149 --> 00:01:58,569
Number one, I want to strengthen your faith
in the Word of God.

36
00:01:58,569 --> 00:02:01,350
Number two, if you are not saved I want to
try to get you converted.

37
00:02:01,350 --> 00:02:06,100
I’ll tell you right up front, I am after you.
I am not sneaking up on you - I am after you!

38
00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:06,810
All right?

39
00:02:06,810 --> 00:02:09,068
Number three, if you are saved and you are
not doing much for the Lord,

40
00:02:09,068 --> 00:02:13,010
... then I am going to try to make you uncomfortable.
All right?

41
00:02:13,010 --> 00:02:14,810
You know where we are going now.

42
00:02:14,810 --> 00:02:21,580
OK, this is not my wife. That’s just a picture
of her.

43
00:02:21,580 --> 00:02:25,200
Last summer was our 31st anniversary and we
sat down to figure out how much money we have

44
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,299
spent since we got married.

45
00:02:28,299 --> 00:02:31,060
We have spent all of it.

46
00:02:31,060 --> 00:02:34,709
We live in Pensacola, Florida - or what’s
left of it.

47
00:02:34,709 --> 00:02:36,700
Hurricane Ivan about blew it off the map.

48
00:02:36,700 --> 00:02:38,519
But we are having a good time rebuilding down
there.

49
00:02:38,519 --> 00:02:43,150
I have three children, one of each. And I
got them all married off and the dog died,

50
00:02:43,150 --> 00:02:44,370
so I made it. Praise God.

51
00:02:44,370 --> 00:02:46,909
I am home free; it is wonderful.

52
00:02:46,909 --> 00:02:49,500
And for those who don’t know, we now have
the whole family working in the ministry,

53
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:51,310
and I have four grandkids so far.

54
00:02:51,310 --> 00:02:54,560
And for those that don’t understand this,
grandkids are God’s reward for not killing

55
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,189
your own kids when you thought about it.

56
00:02:57,189 --> 00:03:00,890
How many have already figured that out? That’s
great, isn’t it?

57
00:03:00,890 --> 00:03:04,049
All of them live right around me and work
in our ministry; they all want to serve God

58
00:03:04,049 --> 00:03:04,709
with their lives.

59
00:03:04,709 --> 00:03:06,200
That is worth something to somebody.

60
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,780
We have about 40 people in our ministry, and
we want to do things that will help strengthen

61
00:03:10,780 --> 00:03:12,299
your faith in God’s Word.

62
00:03:12,299 --> 00:03:13,799
We want to change people’s worldview.

63
00:03:13,799 --> 00:03:19,030
There are two ways to look at this world.
That’s called your worldview. How do you view

64
00:03:19,030 --> 00:03:20,159
this world?

65
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:22,829
Some people look at the world one way, and
some look at it another way. We’ll talk about

66
00:03:22,829 --> 00:03:23,340
that in a minute.

67
00:03:23,340 --> 00:03:27,030
But the way you view the world determines
how you answer the four great questions of

68
00:03:27,030 --> 00:03:27,909
life.

69
00:03:27,909 --> 00:03:31,579
There are four fundamental questions that
every single religion on planet earth tries

70
00:03:31,579 --> 00:03:32,060
to answer.

71
00:03:32,060 --> 00:03:37,810
Who am I? Where did I come from? Why am I
here? And where am I going when I die?

72
00:03:37,810 --> 00:03:41,989
The way you answer those questions is totally
determined by your worldview.

73
00:03:41,989 --> 00:03:45,640
Some people look at the world and say, “You
know, it’s amazing - a big bang made this

74
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,840
from nothing.” That’s the humanist worldview,
based on the evolution theory.

75
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,549
Other people look at the world and say, “You
know, there is an incredible design - there

76
00:03:53,549 --> 00:03:59,230
must be a Designer!” That’s the creationist
worldview, based on creation.

77
00:03:59,230 --> 00:04:05,650
And those two worldviews are at war with each
other. Somebody is wrong, and I enjoy showing

78
00:04:05,650 --> 00:04:06,890
them who they are.

79
00:04:06,890 --> 00:04:08,359
I’ve done a lot of debates, over 90.

80
00:04:08,359 --> 00:04:11,700
92 debates now I’ve done at the universities;
one here at U.T. Knoxville against Dr. Pigliuchi.

81
00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:15,769
I’ve debated him twice; I will be glad to
do it again. I don’t think he will, but I

82
00:04:15,769 --> 00:04:16,339
would be honored.

83
00:04:16,339 --> 00:04:20,130
The guys I debate are a lot smarter that I
am, but I slaughter them because I am right

84
00:04:20,130 --> 00:04:23,400
and they are wrong. It’s real simple.

85
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,900
But if the evolution theory is true, how would
you answer the four great questions of life?

86
00:04:27,900 --> 00:04:30,960
Who am I, and what am I worth?

87
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,750
Well, if evolution is true, you are nothing
important.

88
00:04:34,750 --> 00:04:40,169
You are just a piece of protoplasm that washed
up on the beach; you are not worth a thing.

89
00:04:40,169 --> 00:04:42,669
Actually you are part of the problem. You
see, because you are one of the polluters

90
00:04:42,669 --> 00:04:46,740
of the environment, and the more of you we
can get rid of, the better.

91
00:04:46,740 --> 00:04:50,840
See, that’s normal thinking if evolution is
true.

92
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:52,190
Where did I come from?

93
00:04:52,190 --> 00:04:58,479
Well, if evolution is true, you came from
a cosmic burp about 20 billion years ago.

94
00:04:58,479 --> 00:05:01,090
Why am I here? What’s the purpose of life?

95
00:05:01,090 --> 00:05:05,220
Well, if evolution is true, there is no purpose
to life, so you might as well have fun. If

96
00:05:05,220 --> 00:05:06,979
it feels good, do it.

97
00:05:06,979 --> 00:05:09,759
Where am I going when I die?

98
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:13,069
Well, if evolution is true, you are going
to the grave and you are going to get recycled

99
00:05:13,069 --> 00:05:15,240
into a worm, or a plant.

100
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:20,020
But see, the Bible says: “In the beginning
God created the heaven and the earth.”

101
00:05:20,020 --> 00:05:24,509
Now if that’s true, that puts a whole different
set of answers to those questions.

102
00:05:24,509 --> 00:05:27,639
That means we had better try to figure out
who God is and find out what He wants and

103
00:05:27,639 --> 00:05:33,009
do what He says. Because He created this place,
which means He owns it, He makes the rules.

104
00:05:33,009 --> 00:05:37,539
We had better find out what He wants. And
if you are not obeying His rules, you may

105
00:05:37,539 --> 00:05:38,919
be in trouble one of these days.

106
00:05:38,919 --> 00:05:41,800
We’ll get into more about that later.

107
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,490
The devil doesn’t like this idea that God
created the earth. The devil came to Eve in

108
00:05:45,490 --> 00:05:46,479
the Garden of Eden.

109
00:05:46,479 --> 00:05:52,789
The first thing he said to the woman was,
Eve, hath God said...? “Yea, hath God said?”

110
00:05:52,789 --> 00:05:58,389
He is trying to raise doubts about God’s Word.

111
00:05:58,389 --> 00:06:00,539
Satan always tries to raise doubts about God’s
Word.

112
00:06:00,539 --> 00:06:07,539
That is one of the reasons that we’ve got
all this confusion on different Bible versions.

113
00:06:07,870 --> 00:06:09,319
We cover more on that in video #7.

114
00:06:09,319 --> 00:06:13,410
The second thing he said to the woman was,
“Ye shall not surely die.”

115
00:06:13,410 --> 00:06:16,080
He is calling God a liar, basically.

116
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,830
The third thing he said to Eve is what I want
to talk to you about tonight.

117
00:06:18,830 --> 00:06:25,430
He said, Eve, if you eat off of that tree,
ye shall be as gods.

118
00:06:25,430 --> 00:06:29,389
And right there is where the whole idea of
evolution got started.

119
00:06:29,389 --> 00:06:32,930
It didn’t start with Charlie Darwin; it started
with Satan in the Garden of Eden.

120
00:06:32,930 --> 00:06:35,310
He wants you to think you can become a god.

121
00:06:35,310 --> 00:06:40,129
Yes, boys and girls, we started like an amoeba,
and we are evolving. We are getting bigger

122
00:06:40,129 --> 00:06:42,000
and better and stronger and smarter...

123
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,860
...and some day we are going to sail around
the universe and discover new life-forms,

124
00:06:45,860 --> 00:06:48,430
like “Star Trek.”

125
00:06:48,430 --> 00:06:50,979
People ask me all the time, they say, “Hovind,
do you think there is intelligent life on

126
00:06:50,979 --> 00:06:51,729
other planets?”

127
00:06:51,729 --> 00:06:57,729
I say, “No, I taught high school 15 years;
there is not much intelligent life on this

128
00:06:57,729 --> 00:07:02,139
planet!” I didn’t get to see a whole lot of
it.

129
00:07:02,139 --> 00:07:06,000
Satan’s a liar. He said that you can be like
God. I tell you what, the Mormon Church has

130
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:06,909
swallowed that.

131
00:07:06,909 --> 00:07:09,490
They teach their people that if you are a
good Mormon, when you go to heaven you get

132
00:07:09,490 --> 00:07:13,800
to become god. And if you’re a good Mormon
wife, when you go to heaven you get to be

133
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,389
eternally pregnant, producing spirit babies.

134
00:07:16,389 --> 00:07:21,419
My wife doesn’t want to go. She said, “That’s
not heaven, honey.”

135
00:07:21,419 --> 00:07:24,919
But there are some great books to reach Mormons
and a good Web site: www.utlm.org.

136
00:07:24,919 --> 00:07:29,210
If you want to reach Mormons, you ought to
study that one.

137
00:07:29,210 --> 00:07:32,750
I was surprised to find out a couple of years
ago some of the major Catholic theologians

138
00:07:32,750 --> 00:07:35,909
of the past have taught that man can become
god.

139
00:07:35,909 --> 00:07:38,099
It is still in their catechism right now.

140
00:07:38,099 --> 00:07:41,050
Now most Catholics don’t believe that, and
they don’t even realize some of their leaders

141
00:07:41,050 --> 00:07:42,750
have taught that.

142
00:07:42,750 --> 00:07:48,150
But even Kenneth Copeland said, “Adam, in
the Garden of Eden, was god manifest in the

143
00:07:48,150 --> 00:07:48,400
flesh.”

144
00:07:48,389 --> 00:07:51,680
He said, “You don’t have a god in you; you
are one.”

145
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,639
I am sorry, Kenneth, you are crazy about that,
OK?

146
00:07:54,639 --> 00:07:58,560
Kenneth Hagan said, “The believers are called
Christ; that’s who we are, we are Christ.”

147
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:03,080
No, you are crazy. The job is not available,
and you couldn’t do it if you had it.

148
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:08,129
You are not God, all right? Nor are you Christ.
Walk on water sometime; I want to see that.

149
00:08:08,129 --> 00:08:10,180
Lucifer is the one who wants to be God.

150
00:08:10,180 --> 00:08:14,680
Lucifer said, “I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of

151
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:14,970
God: ...”

152
00:08:14,970 --> 00:08:18,310
“I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation,
in the sides of the north, ...”

153
00:08:18,310 --> 00:08:23,159
“...I will ascend above the heights of the
clouds: I will be like the most High.”

154
00:08:23,159 --> 00:08:28,169
See, Satan wants to be God. But the job is
not available, so he is all upset about that.

155
00:08:28,169 --> 00:08:35,169
Since he can’t be God, he lied to Eve and
told her she could be like God.

156
00:08:36,860 --> 00:08:40,679
Satan hates us, though, because we are made
in God’s image.

157
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,300
And boy, Eve fell for that hook, line, and
sinker. “Wow, I get to be God!”

158
00:08:44,300 --> 00:08:49,000
Hitler said, “If you tell a lie long enough
and loud enough and often enough, the people

159
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,180
will believe it.” He said they are more likely
to believe a big lie than a small one.

160
00:08:54,180 --> 00:08:57,390
If you want to get somebody to believe a lie,
you have to do it like my two big brothers

161
00:08:57,390 --> 00:08:58,200
did to me.

162
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:04,060
I have two older brothers; they have always
been older than I am. They still are today.

163
00:09:04,060 --> 00:09:08,529
When I was about six years old, I was raised
in Peoria, Illinois.

164
00:09:08,529 --> 00:09:11,690
By the way, I know I am in Tennessee, but
are there any more Yankees in the crowd? Any

165
00:09:11,690 --> 00:09:12,890
Yankees out there?

166
00:09:12,890 --> 00:09:17,610
Five, six, seven, OK. And how many Southerners
do we have?

167
00:09:17,610 --> 00:09:18,660
Oh!

168
00:09:18,660 --> 00:09:25,410
Well, just remember who won, if you would.
I know, ‘it ain’t over yet, right?’

169
00:09:25,410 --> 00:09:27,589
But I was raised in East Peoria, Illinois,
in the North.

170
00:09:27,589 --> 00:09:30,380
But I did move to Florida, as soon as I got
smart enough to figure out that the South

171
00:09:30,380 --> 00:09:31,430
is going to rise again.

172
00:09:31,430 --> 00:09:36,470
But when I was about six years old, I came
running in for breakfast one morning.

173
00:09:36,470 --> 00:09:40,860
I was the first one there for breakfast; so
I got the last banana out of the bowl to put

174
00:09:40,860 --> 00:09:42,010
on my cereal.

175
00:09:42,010 --> 00:09:45,480
Well, a few minutes later my two big brothers
came in.

176
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:52,000
They said, “Hey, Kent, is that the last banana?”
I said, “Yep, and I got it.”

177
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,430
How many of you have an older brother or sister?

178
00:09:55,430 --> 00:09:59,300
You know that wonderful feeling you get when
you finally pull one over on them?

179
00:09:59,300 --> 00:10:01,800
Boy, that morning I had them, and I knew it.

180
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:06,120
They wanted my banana. But big brothers do
not beg little brothers for anything.

181
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,470
They either beat them up and take it away
by brute force, or they lie to them and trick

182
00:10:10,470 --> 00:10:11,639
them out of it somehow.

183
00:10:11,639 --> 00:10:14,820
So my brothers said, “Hey, Kent, do you know
how bananas are made?”

184
00:10:14,820 --> 00:10:16,769
I said, “No.”

185
00:10:16,769 --> 00:10:22,000
I was only six years old, and it’s been proven
in laboratory tests that the brain doesn’t

186
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,540
even start to grow until kids are 18 to 20.

187
00:10:25,540 --> 00:10:30,760
How many parents can verify that from raising
kids? I said “No, how are bananas made?”

188
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,510
And they said, “Well, down in the South America,
they have these spiders that live up in the

189
00:10:33,510 --> 00:10:38,380
trees, and when they die all their legs fold
up, and mold begins to grow on the dead spider

190
00:10:38,380 --> 00:10:39,350
legs.

191
00:10:39,350 --> 00:10:41,850
And a banana is really nothing but moldy spider
legs.”

192
00:10:41,850 --> 00:10:47,230
I said, “You guys are lying to me. You just
want this banana because you know it’s the

193
00:10:47,230 --> 00:10:48,019
last one.”

194
00:10:48,019 --> 00:10:49,870
They said, “No brother, we are not lying.

195
00:10:49,870 --> 00:10:53,040
You cut that thing in half and look in the
middle; you can still see the black spots

196
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:59,260
where his legs were.”

197
00:10:59,260 --> 00:11:03,860
I did not eat bananas for nearly three years
after that.

198
00:11:03,860 --> 00:11:07,779
They lied to me. Have you ever been lied to
before?

199
00:11:07,779 --> 00:11:10,750
I would not have believed the lie if it hadn’t
been for those black spots.

200
00:11:10,750 --> 00:11:15,370
See, if you want to get somebody to believe
a lie, you have to mix it with some truth.

201
00:11:15,370 --> 00:11:19,029
That’s a technique they have used for years
to kill rats. You don’t give the rat a bowl

202
00:11:19,029 --> 00:11:23,810
of poison. You give the rat a bowl of good
food with a little poison mixed in.

203
00:11:23,810 --> 00:11:26,769
They are mixing two things together that really
do not belong together.

204
00:11:26,769 --> 00:11:32,889
See, rat poison is 99.995% good food. That’s
how you trick them.

205
00:11:32,889 --> 00:11:36,100
They’ve done the same thing for years to sell
Marlboro cigarettes.

206
00:11:36,100 --> 00:11:39,170
They mix them in with cowboys.

207
00:11:39,170 --> 00:11:42,170
You can watch any Marlboro commercial; there
is something about a cowboy in there.

208
00:11:42,170 --> 00:11:44,889
Have you stopped and thought about that?

209
00:11:44,889 --> 00:11:50,290
What is the connection between smoking Marlboro
and cowboys? Do all cowboys smoke Marlboro?

210
00:11:50,290 --> 00:11:54,540
No. Do you have to smoke to be a cowboy? No.

211
00:11:54,540 --> 00:11:59,829
If you start smoking Marlboro, do you become
a cowboy automatically? No.

212
00:11:59,829 --> 00:12:02,420
You may smell like a horse, but you are not
a cowboy. OK?

213
00:12:02,420 --> 00:12:06,880
Actually it has been proven in laboratory
tests that nobody in the world smokes. Nobody

214
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:07,130
smokes!

215
00:12:07,070 --> 00:12:11,990
Only the cigarette smokes; the person is the
“sucker.” That’s all. I think they ought to

216
00:12:11,990 --> 00:12:15,230
put the real names on those things. We ought
to have some truth in advertising.

217
00:12:15,230 --> 00:12:18,639
They should really be calling them: Cancerettes,
Breath Rotters, By-pass, Malignant, Phlegm

218
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:20,339
Balls, and Money Suckers.

219
00:12:20,339 --> 00:12:22,930
They do the same thing with beer.

220
00:12:22,930 --> 00:12:28,820
They try to associate beer with sports. What
does beer have to do with sports?

221
00:12:28,820 --> 00:12:33,130
They get some big football player holding
his can of Bud Dumber, or Bud Stupid.

222
00:12:33,130 --> 00:12:37,040
They call it “Budweiser”; it doesn’t make
them any wiser though, that’s for sure.

223
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,190
He’s got some Bud Dumber, or Miller Low Life,
or Dead Dog, whatever it is.

224
00:12:40,190 --> 00:12:44,040
He says, man, you drink this stuff, and you
will be a football player. Yeah, right!

225
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,100
The Bible says if you drink that stuff, you
will wreck your life.

226
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:50,279
“Who hath woe? Who hath wounds without cause?

227
00:12:50,279 --> 00:12:54,820
They that tarry long at the wine.” The Bible
says, don’t even look at it when it gets fermented.

228
00:12:54,820 --> 00:13:00,779
Habakkuk says, “Woe unto him that giveth his
neighbor drink.” There is a lot in the Bible

229
00:13:00,779 --> 00:13:02,500
about not even touching that stuff.

230
00:13:02,500 --> 00:13:04,269
One kid said to me one time, “What’s the matter,
Hovind, don’t you like beer?”

231
00:13:04,269 --> 00:13:08,980
I said, “I don’t know. I have never tasted
it. I am 52 years old, and I’ve never had

232
00:13:08,980 --> 00:13:13,959
a drop in my life!” (Well, I’ve had Nyquil
a couple of times.)

233
00:13:13,959 --> 00:13:15,880
He said, “How do you know that you won’t like
it, if you don’t try it?”

234
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,149
I said, “Now son, that’s a brilliant way to
live your life.”

235
00:13:19,149 --> 00:13:22,949
Let me ask you a question, son. Have you ever
laid your head under a semi truck?

236
00:13:22,949 --> 00:13:27,740
Well, how do you know you won’t like it if
you don’t try it?

237
00:13:27,740 --> 00:13:31,399
You don’t have to try everything to figure
out if it’s good or bad.

238
00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:35,079
There are other ways to learn - like watching
somebody else do it.

239
00:13:35,079 --> 00:13:37,350
Wow, don’t do that; that will hurt.

240
00:13:37,350 --> 00:13:43,660
Like the redneck’s famous last words: “Hey
you all, watch this!”

241
00:13:43,660 --> 00:13:46,310
I like science, folks; I collect science books.

242
00:13:46,310 --> 00:13:49,720
There is a lot of good science in these books,
but there is some poison mixed with it.

243
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:56,720
It’s kind of like the rat poison. It’s not
good food 
I am against, it’s the poison!

244
00:14:11,829 --> 00:14:18,829
I need a boy and 
a girl who would like to learn the scientific
way to shoot a rubber band.

245
00:14:44,250 --> 00:14:48,139
Who would like to learn? OK, that boy right
there, come up here. And one girl, let’s get

246
00:14:48,139 --> 00:14:50,910
one girl, come on.

247
00:14:50,910 --> 00:14:52,720
Way back there. OK, hurry up, run!

248
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,519
All right, the scientific way to shoot a rubber
band.

249
00:14:56,519 --> 00:15:01,899
What’s your name sir?... Josh, How old are
you Josh?... I was ten for a whole year one

250
00:15:01,899 --> 00:15:03,699
time. That’s amazing.

251
00:15:03,699 --> 00:15:07,100
I was supposed to be eleven but I was sick
for three years when I was two and a half.

252
00:15:07,100 --> 00:15:12,579
And how old are you going to be when you are
almost twelve? “Eleven.”

253
00:15:12,579 --> 00:15:14,839
And how much does your mom pay you to be good?

254
00:15:14,839 --> 00:15:21,310
So you are good for nothing, and you are ten.
Pick a rubber band out of here, Josh.

255
00:15:21,310 --> 00:15:22,459
OK, the brown one. And what’s your name, ma’am?
“Laura.”

256
00:15:22,459 --> 00:15:25,850
Laura? Pick a rubber band out of there, Laura.

257
00:15:25,850 --> 00:15:27,870
You want the pink one of course; a girl one.
OK.

258
00:15:27,870 --> 00:15:29,790
Here’s what I want you to do, Josh and Laura.

259
00:15:29,790 --> 00:15:34,910
We are going to stand here and shoot a rubber
band down the center aisle. Go ahead.

260
00:15:34,910 --> 00:15:36,779
That one won’t work; that’s a double one.
Here, let me try it.

261
00:15:36,779 --> 00:15:39,540
Try an orange one, here. That’s two tied together;
I didn’t see that.

262
00:15:39,540 --> 00:15:45,870
OK, Josh, shoot the rubber band down the center
isle. Past the table; not too far.

263
00:15:45,870 --> 00:15:51,839
Laura, give it a try; come on. Oh, three
rows back.

264
00:15:51,839 --> 00:15:54,699
Now, watch carefully; I’m going to get down
to the same size as you guys, and I am going

265
00:15:54,699 --> 00:15:56,610
to show the scientific way to shoot a rubber
band.

266
00:15:56,610 --> 00:16:00,730
Are you ready for this? Now, I want you to
notice that my fingers do not leave my hand

267
00:16:00,730 --> 00:16:04,370
at any time.

268
00:16:04,370 --> 00:16:06,639
You believe that? OK now, pay attention.

269
00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:13,639
See the guy sitting way in the back of the
church? Ah, about three fourths of the way

270
00:16:14,540 --> 00:16:15,009
there.

271
00:16:15,009 --> 00:16:20,459
Probably, right about now you are thinking
of a question that has five words in it.

272
00:16:20,459 --> 00:16:24,230
What question are you thinking of? How do
you do that?

273
00:16:24,230 --> 00:16:26,190
See, I told you it had five words in it, right?

274
00:16:26,190 --> 00:16:30,380
Now, before I show you how to do this, I want
to explain something.

275
00:16:30,380 --> 00:16:36,360
Some kids should not learn how to do some
things, because they become what’s known as

276
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,170
a menace to society.

277
00:16:39,170 --> 00:16:42,880
Who’s responsible for this kid right here?
Where’s your mom & dad? Is he safe with this

278
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,740
information? Ha, ha. Mom says no!

279
00:16:47,740 --> 00:16:51,410
And who’s responsible for this one here, where
is... Nobody?

280
00:16:51,410 --> 00:16:56,430
Oh, back there. Did your husband come? No.

281
00:16:56,430 --> 00:17:01,610
OK now, pay attention- the scientific way
to shoot a rubber band.

282
00:17:01,610 --> 00:17:06,089
There are two sides to a rubber band. Are
you with me so far?

283
00:17:06,089 --> 00:17:10,890
One side represents your flesh, that’s your
body. And the other side represents your spirit.

284
00:17:10,890 --> 00:17:15,220
Now your spirit has to live in your flesh,
or else you are dead.

285
00:17:15,220 --> 00:17:19,760
If your spirit ever leaves your flesh, you’ve
got a real problem on your hands! (Actually

286
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,349
the neighbors do.)

287
00:17:21,349 --> 00:17:24,420
But what most people do wrong in rubber band
shooting, and in real life, is they put the

288
00:17:24,420 --> 00:17:27,040
same emphasis on the flesh and the spirit.

289
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:32,780
See, if you pull both sides the same and let
it fly, if you could watch it in slow motion,

290
00:17:32,780 --> 00:17:36,480
both sides are going

291
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,290
And all the energy is wasted inside the rubber
band because the flesh and the spirit are

292
00:17:40,290 --> 00:17:41,900
fighting with each other.

293
00:17:41,900 --> 00:17:46,420
So, the secret to high-speed velocity through
a fluid medium such as the atmosphere ...

294
00:17:46,420 --> 00:17:53,420
... which offers resistance, is to minimize
or eliminate the turbulence. OK?

295
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,780
All I did when you guys weren’t watching,
was stretch one side tighter than the other.

296
00:17:59,780 --> 00:18:05,960
One side is tight.

297
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:12,710
Now pay attention to what’s going to happen.
If you do it right, the spirit leads the flesh,

298
00:18:12,710 --> 00:18:16,610
takes away most of the turbulence, and it
goes much farther.

299
00:18:16,610 --> 00:18:22,630
Got the guy in the back row! So when I am
up here with a whole pile of rubber bands,

300
00:18:22,630 --> 00:18:22,630
...

301
00:18:22,630 --> 00:18:28,060
... knowing I can hit anybody in the room,
it gives you this feeling of power ...

302
00:18:28,060 --> 00:18:30,450
...that some kids really just don’t know how
to handle; do you know what I’m talking about?

303
00:18:30,450 --> 00:18:34,140
You are thinking about it right now, aren’t
you? Yes, I thought so. Let’s give them a

304
00:18:34,140 --> 00:18:41,140
hand; have a seat, guys. Thank you so much.

305
00:18:41,410 --> 00:18:45,160
The Bible says, “the flesh lusteth against
the Spirit, the Spirit against the flesh;

306
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:46,650
they are contrary one to the other.”

307
00:18:46,650 --> 00:18:50,640
This is why some of you won’t go very far
in your spiritual life. You feed the flesh

308
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:51,630
too much.

309
00:18:51,630 --> 00:18:56,680
Shut off the TV once in a while...Simple.
Wait until you see our super airplanes go.

310
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,520
Tomorrow we are going to show you our super
airplanes.

311
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:03,300
I make paper airplanes that go so far, that
if they don’t land in a tree or on a building,

312
00:19:03,300 --> 00:19:07,180
they go all the way to the ground.

313
00:19:07,180 --> 00:19:09,060
Our record with the paper airplane is 450
feet.

314
00:19:09,060 --> 00:19:14,440
We are going to put them completely over the
building including the steeple, tomorrow.

315
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,840
We like science. We are not against science,
but I am against poison mixed in with the

316
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,530
science, That’s all. Here is a first grade
textbook.

317
00:19:21,530 --> 00:19:26,010
This is what they tell the kids in the first
grade. Earth has changed much since its formation

318
00:19:26,010 --> 00:19:30,980
four and a half billion years ago. Now just
hold on a minute.

319
00:19:30,980 --> 00:19:36,570
Is the earth four and a half billion years
old? No, as we’ll see in a minute. But if

320
00:19:36,570 --> 00:19:40,270
you tell that to a first grader, he’s going
to believe you.

321
00:19:40,270 --> 00:19:44,400
First graders believe everything you tell
them. They believe bananas are moldy spider

322
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,740
legs. I did.

323
00:19:45,740 --> 00:19:48,830
And they tell them again in the second grade.

324
00:19:48,830 --> 00:19:54,890
Since its formation 4.5 billion years ago,
earth has changed. Down at the bottom it says:

325
00:19:54,890 --> 00:19:57,690
“Life too, has evolved on earth.”

326
00:19:57,690 --> 00:20:00,120
This word “evolved” is a very tricky word.

327
00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:04,540
I’ve done over 90 debates and about 7,000
radio and TV call-in talk shows, and I’ve

328
00:20:04,540 --> 00:20:08,030
learned how to win the debate on evolution
in the first five minutes.

329
00:20:08,030 --> 00:20:13,730
It is so easy. If somebody says, “Do you believe
in evolution?” I say, “What do you mean?”

330
00:20:13,730 --> 00:20:15,350
“Well, you know, evolution.”

331
00:20:15,350 --> 00:20:19,060
“No, which one are you talking about?” There
are six meanings for the word. Are we talking

332
00:20:19,060 --> 00:20:23,470
about cosmic evolution- evolution of time,
space, matter? I don’t believe in that, with

333
00:20:23,470 --> 00:20:25,640
the big bang. We’ll talk about that in a minute.

334
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,630
Are we talking about chemical evolution? Because
according to the big bang theory, the big

335
00:20:29,630 --> 00:20:32,700
bang produced hydrogen, and maybe some helium.

336
00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:37,780
Then how did we get all these other elements?
Do you want me to believe uranium evolved

337
00:20:37,780 --> 00:20:38,560
from hydrogen?

338
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:43,550
They’ll say, well yes, you have fusion in
stars. Yes, but you can’t fuse past IRON (Fe)

339
00:20:43,550 --> 00:20:44,060
very well.

340
00:20:44,060 --> 00:20:47,880
Besides, you have a chicken and an egg problem
here, because the stars have to make the elements,

341
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,260
and the elements have to make the stars. Which
one came first?

342
00:20:51,260 --> 00:20:54,860
Which brings up, of course, stellar evolution.
How did the stars form?

343
00:20:54,860 --> 00:20:58,200
Did you know that nobody has ever seen a star
form?

344
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,630
Scientists don’t even have a clue how a star
could form- not even any good theories about

345
00:21:02,630 --> 00:21:05,930
star formation (more about that in video #7).

346
00:21:05,930 --> 00:21:10,150
We see stars blow up all the time. It’s called
a nova, or a super nova if it is a big one.

347
00:21:10,150 --> 00:21:13,400
That happens all the time. But we never see
one form.

348
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,370
And yet there are enough stars out there that
we know about that everybody on planet earth,

349
00:21:17,370 --> 00:21:24,370
every single individual, can personally own
11 trillion stars to themselves.

350
00:21:24,670 --> 00:21:29,000
Those are the ones we know about. We don’t
know about the ones that we don’t know about.

351
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,770
Fourthly, there would have to be organic evolution,
origin of life. Life would have to be started

352
00:21:33,770 --> 00:21:35,320
from non-living material.

353
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:40,470
Nobody has a clue how that could happen. Then
we would have to have what’s called macroevolution.

354
00:21:40,470 --> 00:21:43,260
That’s where an animal changes to a different
kind of animal.

355
00:21:43,260 --> 00:21:49,370
Did you know that nobody has ever seen a dog
produce a non-dog? Never!

356
00:21:49,370 --> 00:21:53,860
You may get a big dog, or a little dog, but
you are going to get a dog every time. And

357
00:21:53,860 --> 00:21:57,100
it could be that the dog, the wolf, and the
coyote had a common ancestor.

358
00:21:57,100 --> 00:22:01,710
I wouldn’t argue about that - they probably
did. But every five-year-old kid knows they’re

359
00:22:01,710 --> 00:22:04,670
the same kind of animal. I’ll show you.

360
00:22:04,670 --> 00:22:07,280
Is anybody in here five or six? Who is five
or six years old? Anybody?

361
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:14,280
OK. How old are you, buddy? Six? I want you
to take a test.

362
00:22:17,300 --> 00:22:21,450
Here we have a dog, a wolf, a coyote, and
a banana.

363
00:22:21,450 --> 00:22:24,720
Which one is different than the rest of them?

364
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:29,660
The banana! Give him a hand! All right, very
good!

365
00:22:29,660 --> 00:22:34,270
We have college professors that can’t figure
that out! I’ll tell you want I want you to

366
00:22:34,270 --> 00:22:34,520
do.

367
00:22:34,380 --> 00:22:36,800
When we are done, I want you to go out to
the table out in the hallway, and you can

368
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,110
pick out any free video or DVD you want, OK?

369
00:22:40,110 --> 00:22:43,240
We’ve got a bunch of videos and DVDs about
dinosaurs and stuff out there.

370
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:49,040
The Bible says the animals are going to bring
forth after their kind. Now Charlie Darwin

371
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:55,010
wrote a book on the table down here called
“Origin of Species.” See, the dog and the

372
00:22:55,010 --> 00:22:59,140
wolf are the same kind of animal but different
species.

373
00:22:59,140 --> 00:23:02,040
He fooled everybody by changing the word from
“kind” to “species.”

374
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:07,660
We’ll talk more about that in video #4. Lastly,
we have what is called microevolution.

375
00:23:07,660 --> 00:23:12,080
This is changes within the kinds. Now that
one happens. I’ll go along with number six.

376
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,470
I think animals can produce a whole variety
of offspring: long hair, short hair, long

377
00:23:16,470 --> 00:23:18,880
legged, short legged; that happens.

378
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,120
But the first five are purely religious. That’s
not science.

379
00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:26,360
We never observe any of those! So if you want
to win the debate on evolution, simply define

380
00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:28,990
exactly what you are talking about.

381
00:23:28,990 --> 00:23:34,430
And you’ll find all they ever give are examples
of number six, which there is no argument

382
00:23:34,430 --> 00:23:35,290
about. It happens.

383
00:23:35,290 --> 00:23:40,110
But then they’ll imply that that is somehow,
magically, evidence for the other five. And

384
00:23:40,110 --> 00:23:42,080
it is not.

385
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,230
The teachers are taught though to be sure
to stress to the students that the earth is

386
00:23:45,230 --> 00:23:47,290
billions of years old.

387
00:23:47,290 --> 00:23:52,650
Make sure the kids believe this. You know,
I happen to be a little old fashioned.

388
00:23:52,650 --> 00:23:54,810
I think in science class, we should be teaching
science.

389
00:23:54,810 --> 00:24:00,450
Science includes things we can observe, study,
test, and demonstrate. Things like the first

390
00:24:00,450 --> 00:24:02,800
law of thermodynamics.

391
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:07,170
The first law of thermodynamics tells us,
“Matter cannot be created or destroyed.”

392
00:24:07,170 --> 00:24:12,370
Well, everything is made out of matter; so
if matter cannot be created or destroyed,

393
00:24:12,370 --> 00:24:14,390
then how did the world get here?

394
00:24:14,390 --> 00:24:18,700
We are here, you know. So that leaves only
two choices.

395
00:24:18,700 --> 00:24:24,800
Somebody made the world; or the world made
itself. There is no other choice.

396
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,700
Well, there are a few out there on the lunatic
fringe, who will tell you, “We are not really

397
00:24:28,700 --> 00:24:32,670
here at all; we just think we are here.”

398
00:24:32,670 --> 00:24:35,800
OK, you can forget about those folks. We are
here.

399
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,720
So, either somebody made the world, like the
Bible says, God created it; or the world just

400
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,620
made itself, like the humanists believe.

401
00:24:41,620 --> 00:24:47,220
It just is self existing and not created.
Well, if the world just made itself, how could

402
00:24:47,220 --> 00:24:48,590
this happen?

403
00:24:48,590 --> 00:24:52,360
Boy, the devil thought about that for a long
time. Finally, one day, he came up with the

404
00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:54,220
big bang theory.

405
00:24:54,220 --> 00:24:56,650
How many of you have ever heard of the big
bang theory before?

406
00:24:56,650 --> 00:25:00,590
I was on an airplane years ago, flying from
Dallas to San Francisco. And I happened to

407
00:25:00,590 --> 00:25:03,490
sit right next to a professor from Berkeley,
U Cal Berkeley.

408
00:25:03,490 --> 00:25:08,370
I don’t know if you folks in Knoxville have
ever heard of Berkeley or not, but Berkeley

409
00:25:08,370 --> 00:25:10,680
is not a Bible college.

410
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:15,830
So here I was on the airplane about that far
away from this guy, and we started talking

411
00:25:15,830 --> 00:25:18,700
about creation and evolution.

412
00:25:18,700 --> 00:25:23,600
Everybody I sit by on the airplane wants to
talk about that, so I talk about it with them.

413
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,710
He said he believed in evolution. I said,
“Yes, sir, I figured that; you have to if

414
00:25:26,710 --> 00:25:27,560
you teach at Berkeley.”

415
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,330
I said, “Tell me, sir, if you believe in evolution,
how did the world get here?”

416
00:25:31,330 --> 00:25:37,370
He said, “Oh, it came from the big bang.”
I said, “Really? I’d like to hear about this!”

417
00:25:37,370 --> 00:25:40,220
He said, “You are a science teacher and you
have never heard of the big bang?”

418
00:25:40,220 --> 00:25:44,780
I said, “Oh, yes sir, I’ve heard a lot about
the big bang, and I believe in the big bang.

419
00:25:44,780 --> 00:25:47,140
But my big bang is a lot different than yours.”

420
00:25:47,140 --> 00:25:50,870
I said, “You tell me about your big bang,
and then I’ll tell you about my big bang.”

421
00:25:50,870 --> 00:25:54,870
And so, the professor took off on one of those
answers that looked like it came straight

422
00:25:54,870 --> 00:25:55,970
from the textbook.

423
00:25:55,970 --> 00:26:02,970
He said, “Well, Mr. Hovind, I believe about
18 to 20 billion years ago...” (that’s a long

424
00:26:03,540 --> 00:26:04,300
time)

425
00:26:04,300 --> 00:26:10,290
“...all the matter in the universe...” (that’s
a lot of stuff)

426
00:26:10,290 --> 00:26:14,460
By the way, the word “universe” comes from
two Latin words: “uni,” which means single,

427
00:26:14,460 --> 00:26:17,200
and “verse” which means a spoken sentence.

428
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:23,320
Did you know we live in a single spoken sentence?
God said, “Let there be....” That’ll preach.

429
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,590
There is a sermon someplace right there, OK?
And if your pastor can’t find it, he’s got

430
00:26:27,590 --> 00:26:29,110
no preaching in him at all!

431
00:26:29,110 --> 00:26:35,210
“All the matter in the uni-verse was concentrated
into one very dense, very hot region, that

432
00:26:35,210 --> 00:26:42,210
may have been much smaller than a period on
this page.” Say what?

433
00:26:44,050 --> 00:26:47,870
Everything in the universe squished into a
dot smaller than a period on a page?

434
00:26:47,870 --> 00:26:53,110
Wow! That’s one crowded dot. And heavy, too.

435
00:26:53,110 --> 00:26:56,330
But that’s not the first time this happened,
boys and girls.

436
00:26:56,330 --> 00:27:00,320
This textbook says: “Some day, after many
billions of years, all the matter and energy

437
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,720
will once again be packed into a small area
no larger than the period at the end of this

438
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,780
sentence. Then another big bang will occur.”

439
00:27:06,780 --> 00:27:13,780
“It happens every 80 to 100 billion years.”
Can you believe they cut down a tree to print

440
00:27:14,490 --> 00:27:16,910
that?

441
00:27:16,910 --> 00:27:23,910
Where is Al Gore when you need him? That’s
what I want to know, yeah!

442
00:27:24,010 --> 00:27:29,150
And why did you guys send Al Gore to Washington?
You had him here, you know.

443
00:27:29,150 --> 00:27:33,420
Now, this textbook author was brilliant. I
could not believe how smart this guy was.

444
00:27:33,420 --> 00:27:40,210
He said, “Boys and girls, nothing really means
nothing.” You have to be at least that smart

445
00:27:40,210 --> 00:27:42,250
to write a book.

446
00:27:42,250 --> 00:27:46,130
He said, “Not only matter and energy would
disappear, but also space and time.

447
00:27:46,130 --> 00:27:51,430
However, physicists theorize that from this
state of nothingness, the universe began in

448
00:27:51,430 --> 00:27:53,700
a gigantic explosion.” What?

449
00:27:53,700 --> 00:28:00,700
Yes, boys and girls, you see, one day, nothing
exploded...

450
00:28:01,670 --> 00:28:08,670
...And here we are! We can spend three days
talking about the big bang theory.

451
00:28:09,110 --> 00:28:12,370
They used to say that the thing that exploded
was a few light-years in diameter. Then they

452
00:28:12,370 --> 00:28:17,340
said, “Oh no, it’s only 275 million miles.”
And then they said, “It’s only 71 million

453
00:28:17,340 --> 00:28:17,650
miles.”

454
00:28:17,650 --> 00:28:22,510
They keep getting it smaller, and now they
are saying “nothing” exploded.

455
00:28:22,510 --> 00:28:25,660
A couple years ago “Discover Magazine” here
said, “Where did everything come from?”

456
00:28:25,660 --> 00:28:32,130
“Boys and girls, the universe burst into something
from absolutely nothing - zero, nada.

457
00:28:32,130 --> 00:28:36,490
As it got bigger, it became filled with even
more stuff that came from absolutely nowhere.

458
00:28:36,490 --> 00:28:38,370
How is that possible? Ask Alan Guth.

459
00:28:38,370 --> 00:28:43,340
His theory will explain everything.” Wow,
I’ve got to meet this Alan Guth guy.

460
00:28:43,340 --> 00:28:47,750
Alan Guth said in “Scientific American,” “The
observable universe could have evolved from

461
00:28:47,750 --> 00:28:53,340
an infinitesimal region.” (In the Hebrew,
that’s “a dot.”)

462
00:28:53,340 --> 00:28:56,770
He said, “It’s then tempting to go one step
further and speculate that the entire universe

463
00:28:56,770 --> 00:29:01,840
evolved from literally nothing.” You see,
boys and girls, we all came from a dot and

464
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,680
the dot came from nothing.

465
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:08,040
And they call that science, and put it in
a science journal?

466
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:12,960
I think I’d call that a fairy tale and put
it in the garbage.

467
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,590
I said, “Professor, what happened to your
dot?”

468
00:29:16,590 --> 00:29:20,140
He said, “Hovind, 20 billion years ago all
the dirt in the solar system was drawn into

469
00:29:20,140 --> 00:29:21,600
this little, bitty, tiny dot.

470
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:27,610
And it was spinning. It spun faster, and faster,
and all of a sudden, it exploded: big bang!

471
00:29:27,610 --> 00:29:32,690
And the pieces that flew off became galaxies,
and sun, moon, stars, and here we are. People.”

472
00:29:32,690 --> 00:29:33,970
Nothing but stardust.

473
00:29:33,970 --> 00:29:37,400
I said, “Sir, can I ask you a couple of questions,
please?”

474
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,600
He said, “Sure, what do you want to know?”

475
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,740
You know, we’ve got a three-hour flight sitting
this far away from each other on the airplane.

476
00:29:43,740 --> 00:29:47,300
I said, “Well sir, I’ve got a question. You
said that 20 billion years ago, all the dirt

477
00:29:47,300 --> 00:29:51,720
got together for a big squish, a big spin,
and a big bang. Where did all the dirt come

478
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,820
from?” You know, who made matter? He said,
“We don’t know.”

479
00:29:55,820 --> 00:30:01,010
I said, “OK now sir, hold it. If I told you
what I believe, that about 6,000 years ago

480
00:30:01,010 --> 00:30:05,000
God created the heaven and the earth, then
you are going to say, ‘and where did God come

481
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,940
from?’ And I have no idea.”

482
00:30:06,940 --> 00:30:11,470
But you said, 20 billion years ago there was
a big bang; and you don’t know where the dirt

483
00:30:11,470 --> 00:30:12,280
came from.

484
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:16,960
So basically, I believe: “In the beginning,
God”; and you believe: “In the beginning,

485
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,250
dirt.”

486
00:30:18,250 --> 00:30:23,570
Don’t tell me my theory is religious, and
your theory is scientific. No, no, no!

487
00:30:23,570 --> 00:30:28,270
They are both religious. The news media tries
to make it look like it is science versus

488
00:30:28,270 --> 00:30:29,890
religion.

489
00:30:29,890 --> 00:30:33,210
It’s not science versus religion; these are
two religions.

490
00:30:33,210 --> 00:30:34,960
Evolution and creation are both religious.

491
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,640
You have to believe in one or the other.

492
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,610
The difference is the evolution religion is
tax supported.

493
00:30:42,610 --> 00:30:44,600
That’s the difference - one of many differences.

494
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,830
By the way, these two time lines are the same
thing right here, behind me.

495
00:30:47,830 --> 00:30:51,590
On the top time line, every inch represents
150 years.

496
00:30:51,590 --> 00:30:57,500
Abe Lincoln was not even president one inch
ago.

497
00:30:57,500 --> 00:31:01,590
If I was to show you what 20 billion years
looks like at the same scale as the top chart...

498
00:31:01,590 --> 00:31:04,790
(...I have to have this chart on the bottom
to be this scale...)

499
00:31:04,790 --> 00:31:09,110
...This one would have to be 2,100 miles long.

500
00:31:09,110 --> 00:31:12,400
That’s from Pensacola to Portland, Oregon.

501
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,740
I don’t want to carry a chart that big, so
I made a new scale for the other one.

502
00:31:15,740 --> 00:31:17,800
The professor said that he did not know where
the matter came from.

503
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,840
So I said, “Sir, can you tell me where the
laws came from?”

504
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:25,690
This universe is run by laws. Gravity, centrifugal
force, inertia, Boyle’s law, Cole’s law (You

505
00:31:25,690 --> 00:31:26,770
can eat that with potato salad).

506
00:31:26,770 --> 00:31:30,920
There are all kinds of laws in the universe.
Where did the laws come from?

507
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,990
And by the way, why aren’t the laws still
evolving? Do you ever think about that?

508
00:31:34,990 --> 00:31:40,480
Why is gravity always the same? Why don’t
you weigh 10 pounds more one day? (You say,

509
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:41,480
“I do!”

510
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:46,710
Well, that’s for a different reason.) Where
did the energy come from? Who bought the gas

511
00:31:46,710 --> 00:31:49,280
to run this machine?

512
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:53,400
The professor said, “I don’t know; we don’t
know any of those things.” I said, “Can I

513
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:54,330
ask you another question?”

514
00:31:54,330 --> 00:31:58,210
He said, “Sure. What else would you like to
know?”

515
00:31:58,210 --> 00:32:01,560
Else? What do you mean, what else? you haven’t
told me anything yet.

516
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:06,040
I said, “Sir, does Berkeley have a merry-go-round?”

517
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,760
How many of you know what a merry-go-round
is? You go round and round, until you throw

518
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:09,050
up.

519
00:32:09,050 --> 00:32:12,530
He said, “No, we don’t have a merry-go-round
at Berkeley.”

520
00:32:12,530 --> 00:32:14,020
I said, “You really ought to get one.

521
00:32:14,020 --> 00:32:16,670
You could learn some good science on a merry-go-round.”

522
00:32:16,670 --> 00:32:20,100
If you put some fourth graders on there...
Any fourth graders in here?

523
00:32:20,100 --> 00:32:22,300
Last year or next year fourth graders. I know
it’s summertime here.

524
00:32:22,300 --> 00:32:26,290
All right! I like fourth graders; I spent
the best five years of my life in a fourth

525
00:32:26,290 --> 00:32:26,820
grade.

526
00:32:26,820 --> 00:32:32,470
(That was before they diagnosed ADD. By the
time my brother was in the fourth grade, we

527
00:32:32,470 --> 00:32:35,540
all knew what he was going to be when he finished
high school - 32!)

528
00:32:35,540 --> 00:32:41,150
Well, we are going to put some fourth graders
on a merry-go-round and get the high school

529
00:32:41,150 --> 00:32:45,650
football team out there to get it spinning
clockwise, as fast as it will possibly go.

530
00:32:45,650 --> 00:32:51,750
Now if you have a digital watch, you may not
know what clockwise means. ...I’ll tell you

531
00:32:51,750 --> 00:32:52,130
later.

532
00:32:52,130 --> 00:32:56,390
We are going to spin the merry-go-round clockwise,
and the kids are going to go through four

533
00:32:56,390 --> 00:32:56,670
phases.

534
00:32:56,670 --> 00:32:59,670
They start off in phase one, where they’re
screaming at the football players, “Come on,

535
00:32:59,670 --> 00:33:02,510
let’s go faster! Faster! Can’t you go any
faster?”

536
00:33:02,510 --> 00:33:06,180
You get up around 30 miles an hour, and the
kids enter phase two, where they stop screaming.

537
00:33:06,180 --> 00:33:10,310
They just quietly concentrate on trying to
hang on for dear life.

538
00:33:10,310 --> 00:33:16,720
When you get up around 60 miles an hour, the
kids enter phase three, where they start screaming

539
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,840
again, but now they are screaming, “Stop!
Stop! Please slow down!” Don’t stop though;

540
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:22,630
keep going faster and faster.

541
00:33:22,630 --> 00:33:28,130
When you get to 100 miles an hour, you enter
phase four where the kids begin to fly off

542
00:33:28,130 --> 00:33:33,190
the merry-go-round. Now when this happens,
you will notice a very interesting phenomenon

543
00:33:33,190 --> 00:33:34,190
of physics.

544
00:33:34,190 --> 00:33:40,670
If the merry-go-round is going clockwise when
the kid flies off, the kid will be spinning

545
00:33:40,670 --> 00:33:42,670
clockwise.

546
00:33:42,670 --> 00:33:46,920
Until he encounters resistance, like a tree
or a pole.

547
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,480
That’s because of a law in physics known as
the conservation of angular momentum.

548
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,890
See, if a spinning object breaks apart, the
pieces that fly off are going to spin the

549
00:33:54,890 --> 00:34:00,810
same direction, because the outside is moving
faster than the inside.

550
00:34:00,810 --> 00:34:03,840
And we can talk all day about the conservation
laws if you’d like, but the professor said,

551
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,860
“Yes, I know about the conservation laws.”

552
00:34:05,860 --> 00:34:09,770
I said, “Well good, sir, then let me ask you
a question. If the universe began as a spinning

553
00:34:09,770 --> 00:34:14,270
dot like you said, why do two planets spin
backwards, and probably three?”

554
00:34:14,270 --> 00:34:20,870
He got real quiet, a puzzled look on his face.
I said, “Sir, why do eight out of ninety-one

555
00:34:20,870 --> 00:34:22,918
known moons spin backwards?

556
00:34:22,918 --> 00:34:29,918
Why do Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune have moons
going both directions at the same time?

557
00:34:32,659 --> 00:34:38,168
Why is the Sun 98% hydrogen and helium, but
the other planets are less than 1% hydrogen

558
00:34:38,168 --> 00:34:40,320
and helium?

559
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,370
And why are these nine planets so different
from each other? If they all came from the

560
00:34:43,370 --> 00:34:46,880
big bang, why are they all so different?

561
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,370
Very different compositions!

562
00:34:48,370 --> 00:34:51,620
And why do some whole galaxies spin backwards?”

563
00:34:51,620 --> 00:34:54,668
CNN did an article, “Goofy galaxy spins in
wrong direction.”

564
00:34:54,668 --> 00:35:00,980
I said, “Sir, why are these things going backwards?”

565
00:35:00,980 --> 00:35:02,710
He said, “I don’t know.

566
00:35:02,710 --> 00:35:06,500
Why do you think they are going backwards?”

567
00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:08,040
I was hoping he was going to ask that.

568
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,720
I said, “Sir, it’s really simple.

569
00:35:09,720 --> 00:35:13,090
You see, ‘In the beginning God created the
heaven and the earth,’ and God did it that

570
00:35:13,090 --> 00:35:16,280
way on purpose, just to make the big bang
theory look stupid.”

571
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:23,280
Yes, amen.

572
00:35:24,110 --> 00:35:30,550
Now, I do believe in the big bang, because
the Bible teaches the big bang.

573
00:35:30,550 --> 00:35:35,470
It says, “The heavens shall pass away with
a great noise.” In the original Greek, that’s

574
00:35:35,470 --> 00:35:36,440
a big bang!

575
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:40,940
So there is going to be a big bang. It just
didn’t happen yet, OK?

576
00:35:40,940 --> 00:35:44,740
So kids, if you go to school, and some professor
says, “Hey, do you believe in the big bang?”

577
00:35:44,740 --> 00:35:47,610
You should say, “Yes I do, and you’d better
get saved and get ready for it.”

578
00:35:47,610 --> 00:35:52,350
The big bang is coming soon to a city near
you.

579
00:35:52,350 --> 00:35:55,840
By the way, if the world came from a big bang
and slowly evolved over billions of years,

580
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,690
why did Jesus die on the cross?

581
00:35:57,690 --> 00:35:59,780
What’s the purpose of the death of Christ?

582
00:35:59,780 --> 00:36:03,790
And when the Bible says God is going to restore
the world like it used to be ...

583
00:36:03,790 --> 00:36:08,220
Restore it to what? More death and suffering?

584
00:36:08,220 --> 00:36:11,720
We cover more on that theistic evolution position
in video #7.

585
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:16,110
The big bang theory is ludicrous for numerous
reasons, OK? If the big bang theory were true,

586
00:36:16,110 --> 00:36:19,790
then matter would be evenly distributed. But
it’s not.

587
00:36:19,790 --> 00:36:24,620
Serious, serious problems with the big bang
theory! Even Fred Hoyle said, “I have little

588
00:36:24,620 --> 00:36:27,980
hesitation in saying that a sickly pall hangs
over the big bang theory.”

589
00:36:27,980 --> 00:36:33,880
Get more on that in the book, “Evolution Cruncher.”
It’s a 900-page book; it’s only $5.00. It’s

590
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,770
an excellent book to give away to every kid
in your high school.

591
00:36:36,770 --> 00:36:41,480
The second law of thermodynamics tells us,
“Everything tends toward disorder.”

592
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:46,650
If you leave something alone for awhile, it’s
going to rot, rust, die, fall apart, or break

593
00:36:46,650 --> 00:36:47,450
down.

594
00:36:47,450 --> 00:36:51,270
Nothing gets better by itself. That’s what
the Bible teaches. “The heavens are the works

595
00:36:51,270 --> 00:36:55,160
of thine hands: they shall perish;...they
wax old as doth a garment.”

596
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:59,340
Nothing gets better by itself. Take a look
at your hairdo when you wake up in the morning.

597
00:36:59,340 --> 00:37:04,690
You’ll see exactly what I am talking about.
Everything tends towards chaos, all right?

598
00:37:04,690 --> 00:37:11,690
Here is Sue at 20. Here she is at 90. And
here she is at 3,000. Everything tends toward

599
00:37:15,980 --> 00:37:18,790
chaos, folks, all right?

600
00:37:18,790 --> 00:37:22,740
All you have to do is nothing, and everything
deteriorates, collapses, breaks down, wears

601
00:37:22,740 --> 00:37:23,000
out.

602
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,740
That’s what the second law is all about. Everything
is getting worse.

603
00:37:26,740 --> 00:37:31,770
Nothing is getting better. But the textbook
says, “Humans probably evolved from bacteria

604
00:37:31,770 --> 00:37:35,110
more than 4 billion years ago.”

605
00:37:35,110 --> 00:37:38,940
Was your great-great-great-great-great-great-grandpa
bacteria?

606
00:37:38,940 --> 00:37:43,960
Evolutionists will say, “Well, Hovind, don’t
you know that if you add energy, you can overcome

607
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,470
the second law of thermodynamics?

608
00:37:46,470 --> 00:37:50,130
And the earth receives energy from the sun,
so the earth is an open system. That’s how

609
00:37:50,130 --> 00:37:51,600
we overcome the law.”

610
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,540
I understand the argument, but they are missing
the point. Number one: the universe is a closed

611
00:37:55,540 --> 00:37:55,790
system.

612
00:37:55,750 --> 00:38:00,500
Number two: adding energy is destructive,
unless there is a special mechanism to use

613
00:38:00,500 --> 00:38:01,820
and harness the energy.

614
00:38:01,820 --> 00:38:06,640
See, the Japanese added a bunch of energy
to Pearl Harbor one day. They didn’t organize

615
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,860
a thing for us, did they?

616
00:38:08,860 --> 00:38:14,800
So a few years later, we added some energy
to a few of their cities - returned the favor.

617
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,210
Didn’t organize any thing for them. Adding
energy is destructive.

618
00:38:18,210 --> 00:38:22,170
The sun adds energy to the roof of your house;
but it’s going to destroy your house.

619
00:38:22,170 --> 00:38:24,430
The sun’s energy will destroy the entire house.

620
00:38:24,430 --> 00:38:28,530
The sun’s energy will destroy the roof on
your car. It will destroy your upholstery.

621
00:38:28,530 --> 00:38:30,740
The sun’s energy will destroy your paint job.

622
00:38:30,740 --> 00:38:36,550
There is only one thing that can actually
use the sun’s energy: chlorophyll.

623
00:38:36,550 --> 00:38:39,260
And one little plant cell is more complex
than a space shuttle.

624
00:38:39,260 --> 00:38:42,440
We cover more on that in video #4.

625
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:46,720
Evolution violates the second law, and evolution
is wrong, OK?

626
00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:52,020
This textbook shows the kids a fossil starfish
and says, “3.4 billion years old... the remains

627
00:38:52,020 --> 00:38:57,110
of an early ancestor of modern human beings.”

628
00:38:57,110 --> 00:39:00,580
Was your great-great-great-great-great-great-grandpa
a starfish?

629
00:39:00,580 --> 00:39:07,580
How about “Discover Magazine,” November 2004?
Was your ancestor a sea sponge? This is your

630
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:16,570
ancestor. Wow, who’s your Daddy?

631
00:39:16,570 --> 00:39:23,570
Now, please don’t laugh at this next picture,
OK?

632
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:28,560
This is going to be a picture of my brother
when he first wakes up in the morning, after

633
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:32,010
his first cup of coffee, which apparently
was a little too strong.

634
00:39:32,010 --> 00:39:34,280
By the way, I’ve got to warn these kids.

635
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:40,560
Kids, listen carefully. Do not drink coffee!
Because if you drink coffee when you are young,

636
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:47,560
when you get married, your babies will be
born naked and illiterate.

637
00:39:47,940 --> 00:39:53,640
And tea is worse. There was an Indian once,
who drank four gallons of iced tea.

638
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:59,610
That night, he drowned in his teepee. Be careful
with that stuff; it’s deadly.

639
00:39:59,610 --> 00:40:06,140
Anyway, this is going to be my brother, please
don’t laugh- he can’t help it. There he is!

640
00:40:06,140 --> 00:40:12,450
Notice what the textbook says, “30 million
years ago...” Now kids, let me translate that

641
00:40:12,450 --> 00:40:13,430
for you.

642
00:40:13,430 --> 00:40:19,070
Anytime the textbook says, “million of years
ago,” what it means is: long ago, and far

643
00:40:19,070 --> 00:40:20,020
away.

644
00:40:20,020 --> 00:40:25,060
It means a fairy tale is coming next, OK?
That’s your warning, a fairy tale is coming

645
00:40:25,060 --> 00:40:25,610
up.

646
00:40:25,610 --> 00:40:30,100
“Thirty million years ago these critters evolved.”
There’s that word again, you’ve got to watch

647
00:40:30,100 --> 00:40:30,650
that.

648
00:40:30,650 --> 00:40:37,650
It says, “they are ancestral to both humans
and modern apes.” Ancestors to humans?

649
00:40:38,460 --> 00:40:45,460
Grandpa? “What big eyes you have, grandpa!”
“All The better to see you with, my boy.”

650
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,130
You know, we’ve been teaching kids they are
nothing but an animal. And today a lot of

651
00:40:52,130 --> 00:40:54,060
them act like animals.

652
00:40:54,060 --> 00:40:59,240
Even Barbara Reynolds figured it out. “Your
kids go ape in school?” Here’s why- he’s being

653
00:40:59,240 --> 00:41:00,630
taught evolution.

654
00:41:00,630 --> 00:41:05,840
“Guess what, Johnny, you are an animal and
share a common heritage with earthworms.”

655
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,860
“Ha, ha, you mean I’m just an animal? OK.”

656
00:41:09,860 --> 00:41:15,970
Have you ever stopped and thought, that possibly
what we are teaching the kids is affecting

657
00:41:15,970 --> 00:41:17,370
how they behave?

658
00:41:17,370 --> 00:41:23,560
What you believe determines how you behave.
Kids are taught today that you are just an

659
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:24,630
animal.

660
00:41:24,630 --> 00:41:28,960
The rock music these days is all full of death
and destruction and blood. Well, the Bible

661
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:34,970
says, “They that hate me love death!” Kids
are taught today, “There are no absolutes.”

662
00:41:34,970 --> 00:41:39,750
I was in a debate one time, and this professor
said, “Hovind, there are no absolutes!”

663
00:41:39,750 --> 00:41:45,550
I said, “Are you absolutely sure?” Blew his
little brain!

664
00:41:45,550 --> 00:41:48,890
“Now, hold on a minute, how can I be absolutely
sure, when there are no absolutes?”

665
00:41:48,890 --> 00:41:52,140
I was speaking in a public school in Pennsylvania
a couple of years ago, and this kid sat on

666
00:41:52,140 --> 00:41:52,620
the second row.

667
00:41:52,620 --> 00:41:56,640
He said, “Hovind, I am an atheist. There is
no God.” I said, “Are you sure?”

668
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:00,100
He said, “I am sure.” I said, “Let me ask
you a question, son.”

669
00:42:00,100 --> 00:42:03,930
I said, “Do you know everything?” He said,
“Oh, no...no.”

670
00:42:03,930 --> 00:42:10,790
I said, “Well, OK, good. Do you think maybe
you know half of everything?” He said, “No...”

671
00:42:10,790 --> 00:42:17,450
Well, let’s pretend for a few minutes that
you know half of everything.

672
00:42:17,450 --> 00:42:22,650
Would it be possible then for God to exist
in the other half that you don’t know? Brand

673
00:42:22,650 --> 00:42:27,180
new thought - rattled around in his brain
for awhile and got lost, I’m sure!

674
00:42:27,180 --> 00:42:31,280
I said, “And by the way son, if you’re an
atheist, let me ask you a simple question.

675
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:35,100
How do you tell right from wrong?”

676
00:42:35,100 --> 00:42:37,000
Ask an atheist that question some time.

677
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,180
How do you tell right from wrong?

678
00:42:40,180 --> 00:42:44,620
He said, “That’s easy ... I decide what’s
right and wrong.”

679
00:42:44,620 --> 00:42:47,590
He said, “I am the god of my own universe.”

680
00:42:47,590 --> 00:42:52,490
I said, “I am glad to hear about that, son,
because I am going to shoot you in five minutes.”

681
00:42:52,490 --> 00:42:54,370
He said, “You can’t do that.”

682
00:42:54,370 --> 00:42:59,720
I said, “Oh yes I can! You see, I am the god
of my own universe, and I decided it’s fine

683
00:42:59,720 --> 00:43:02,790
for me to shoot you.”

684
00:43:02,790 --> 00:43:07,050
You see where that logic would lead in a hurry
if “every man did that which was right in

685
00:43:07,050 --> 00:43:13,520
his own eyes” like the book of Judges says.
Serious problems for society - big time! How

686
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:14,780
do you tell right from wrong?

687
00:43:14,780 --> 00:43:19,750
A simple question to ask an evolutionist.
They don’t have a way to tell.

688
00:43:19,750 --> 00:43:23,810
Maybe Osama bin Laden should decide right
from wrong. Maybe Bill Clinton should decide

689
00:43:23,810 --> 00:43:24,600
right from wrong.

690
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:31,430
If he has any idea where to find it! I mean,
how do you tell right from wrong? Simple!

691
00:43:31,430 --> 00:43:33,830
It’s real easy to tell right from wrong-

692
00:43:33,830 --> 00:43:39,370
“Thus saith the Lord.” Now you see, that is
absolute.

693
00:43:39,370 --> 00:43:43,490
And the Lord said, “Ye shall not make any
cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print

694
00:43:43,490 --> 00:43:45,780
any marks upon you.”

695
00:43:45,780 --> 00:43:51,230
Some people either don’t know what God says,
or maybe they just don’t care what God says.

696
00:43:51,230 --> 00:43:57,450
But God says don’t do that, OK? Now, if you
did it in the past, you could just say, “God,

697
00:43:57,450 --> 00:43:59,830
I’m sorry,” and not do it again.

698
00:43:59,830 --> 00:44:01,240
A lot of teachers don’t seem to understand.

699
00:44:01,240 --> 00:44:05,100
They just blindly follow the textbook and
think that they have to teach this evolution

700
00:44:05,100 --> 00:44:05,560
theory.

701
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:10,750
No, you don’t have to teach this evolution
theory! Teachers can teach creation in public

702
00:44:10,750 --> 00:44:12,030
schools if they want.

703
00:44:12,030 --> 00:44:15,070
We’ve got a video tape called: “The Public
School Presentation” which deals with all

704
00:44:15,070 --> 00:44:19,640
the laws about teaching creation in public
schools.

705
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:25,630
What happened was, Arkansas and Louisiana
passed laws to require that creation be taught.

706
00:44:25,630 --> 00:44:31,100
The court struck it down in both cases. They
said, “You cannot be required to teach creation.”

707
00:44:31,100 --> 00:44:34,690
They said, “The teachers can teach it if they
want, but it has to be voluntary on the teacher’s

708
00:44:34,690 --> 00:44:35,550
part.”

709
00:44:35,550 --> 00:44:40,320
Even Stephen Gould said, “No statute exists
in any state to bar instruction in ‘creation

710
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:40,940
science.’”

711
00:44:40,940 --> 00:44:46,320
It could be taught before, and it can be taught
now. He was commenting on the 1987 Supreme

712
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:46,570
Court decision.

713
00:44:46,390 --> 00:44:53,390
The ACLU, “the American Communist Lawyers’
Union,” have tried really hard to spread the

714
00:44:53,580 --> 00:44:57,110
propaganda around that you cannot talk about
creation in the public schools. And that’s

715
00:44:57,110 --> 00:44:58,890
just simply not true.

716
00:44:58,890 --> 00:45:02,400
It’s always been perfectly fine to teach creation
in the public schools. There’s never been

717
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,040
a law against that, OK?

718
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,510
But if a teacher gets up in front of the class
and says, “OK kids, listen, you started off

719
00:45:08,510 --> 00:45:12,540
like a slime, and you slowly evolved to a
human.”

720
00:45:12,540 --> 00:45:16,520
You don’t need to be a genius to figure out
that teaching will destroy some kid’s faith

721
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,550
in the Bible.

722
00:45:18,550 --> 00:45:22,870
And anybody that destroys a child’s faith,
better read what Jesus said about that.

723
00:45:22,870 --> 00:45:26,540
He said, “Whoso shall offend one of these
little ones which believe in me, it were better

724
00:45:26,540 --> 00:45:29,240
for him that a millstone were hanged about
his neck...

725
00:45:29,240 --> 00:45:33,200
And that he were drowned in the depth of the
sea.” Anybody that teaches evolution is in

726
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:37,170
trouble when they stand before God. The Bible
says, “Be not many masters, knowing that we

727
00:45:37,170 --> 00:45:40,300
shall receive the greater condemnation.”

728
00:45:40,300 --> 00:45:45,550
It’s interesting, though, what happened. Back
in the 1950s, the average textbook in America

729
00:45:45,550 --> 00:45:49,010
had very little evolution - two or three thousand
words was all.

730
00:45:49,010 --> 00:45:56,010
But in 1957, the Russians beat us in the space
race by launching Sputnik and Americans panicked.

731
00:45:56,670 --> 00:45:59,320
How many of you are old enough to remember
the panic in America when the Russians were

732
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:00,880
winning the space race?

733
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:05,280
They had articles in “Life Magazine” like,
“How You can Survive Fallout.”

734
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:10,750
They said, “The Soviets are ahead of us in
science, because the Soviets teach evolution.

735
00:46:10,750 --> 00:46:15,540
We don’t teach it in our schools.” They had
articles on how to build your own bomb shelter.

736
00:46:15,540 --> 00:46:19,160
People were building them in their back yards
to survive nuclear fallout.

737
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:24,640
Wait a minute; the Soviets are ahead in science
because they teach evolution?

738
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,000
What does evolution have to do with putting
up a satellite?

739
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:34,480
Then, in 1959 it was the hundred-year anniversary
of Darwin’s book coming out.

740
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:40,360
And in 1959, Eisenhower asked congress for
a billion dollars to push more evolution into

741
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:41,300
the school system.

742
00:46:41,300 --> 00:46:43,400
And he got it.

743
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:49,410
American textbooks were rewritten in the late
50s and early 60s to include more evolution.

744
00:46:49,410 --> 00:46:54,890
They called it “the cold war reconstruction
of American science education.”

745
00:46:54,890 --> 00:47:00,190
Our whole science curriculum and other curriculums
were rewritten to make sure evolution was

746
00:47:00,190 --> 00:47:01,720
taught.

747
00:47:01,720 --> 00:47:07,420
And by 1963 the average textbook had 33,000
words about evolution.

748
00:47:07,420 --> 00:47:12,370
By 1963, prayer was taken out of our school
system.

749
00:47:12,370 --> 00:47:14,180
Anybody remember that? Madeline Murray O’Hare?

750
00:47:14,180 --> 00:47:20,840
By 1963 we saw a great rise in pre-marital
sex for every single age bracket. We saw a

751
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:25,200
great rise in sexually transmitted diseases
for ten- to fourteen-year-olds.

752
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:32,200
We saw a great rise in unwed birth rates - a
550% increase in pregnancies.

753
00:47:33,220 --> 00:47:35,520
The difference is being aborted.

754
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,960
Now one third of all the kids born in the
hospitals are born to a couple that are not

755
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,190
married. One third of them.

756
00:47:41,190 --> 00:47:47,680
Illegitimate children. Now listen carefully.
If you are one of those, this is for you.

757
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,420
Timothy was a “half-breed” that never should
have been born.

758
00:47:50,420 --> 00:47:54,490
Timothy’s mommy was Jewish, his daddy was
Greek. The Jews weren’t supposed to marry

759
00:47:54,490 --> 00:47:55,910
anybody but Jews.

760
00:47:55,910 --> 00:48:00,500
Mama disobeyed; Timothy was the result. But
he wanted to serve God, and God said, “I’ll

761
00:48:00,500 --> 00:48:03,310
take you, son.” He wrote two books in the
Bible.

762
00:48:03,310 --> 00:48:07,460
So if your parents messed up, you shut your
mouth- quit whining, and go serve God with

763
00:48:07,460 --> 00:48:08,270
your life, OK?

764
00:48:08,270 --> 00:48:11,550
There are no excuses. God will use anybody,
OK?

765
00:48:11,550 --> 00:48:17,960
The number of unmarried couples living together
has increased radically since 1963. God’s

766
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,910
Word hasn’t changed. He said, “Thou shalt
not commit adultery.”

767
00:48:20,910 --> 00:48:26,080
He said, “Whoremongers and adulterers God
will judge.” Jesus said, “If you even look

768
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:29,730
and lust, you have committed adultery already
in your heart.”

769
00:48:29,730 --> 00:48:33,810
By the way, ladies, that’s why it’s important
how you dress.

770
00:48:33,810 --> 00:48:38,810
My daddy always said, “If you’re not in business,
don’t advertise.”

771
00:48:38,810 --> 00:48:45,810
Divorce rates have gone crazy in this country.
Child abuse is up 2,300%. Illegal drugs are

772
00:48:47,300 --> 00:48:51,369
up 6,000% . Violent crimes are up nearly 1000%.

773
00:48:51,369 --> 00:48:57,190
I am not that old, but I remember the days
when you did not have to lock your house.

774
00:48:57,190 --> 00:48:59,630
Anybody remember those days?

775
00:48:59,630 --> 00:49:02,320
And you left the keys in the ignition all
the time. You never took them out, because

776
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:03,180
you might lose them.

777
00:49:03,180 --> 00:49:07,130
And you go up to t the average high school
and half of the pickup trucks in the parking

778
00:49:07,130 --> 00:49:10,400
lot had a loaded rifle hanging in the back
window.

779
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:14,750
And nobody got shot in school in those days,
did they? You probably didn’t hear about this,

780
00:49:14,750 --> 00:49:19,020
but the kids at Columbine High School that
shot everybody were very strong believers

781
00:49:19,020 --> 00:49:20,910
in evolution.

782
00:49:20,910 --> 00:49:23,960
They did the shooting on Hitler’s birthday,
on purpose.

783
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:27,900
They shot Isaiah Shoels just because he was
black.

784
00:49:27,900 --> 00:49:32,110
Hitler hated black people; so did they. This
was evolution-motivated shooting.

785
00:49:32,110 --> 00:49:37,510
And right after the shooting, Rosie O’Donnell
got on her TV program and said, “See, we need

786
00:49:37,510 --> 00:49:38,670
more gun control.”

787
00:49:38,670 --> 00:49:45,670
Rosie, those kids broke 18 gun laws going
into that school. I don’t think two more gun

788
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,220
laws would have slowed them down.

789
00:49:48,220 --> 00:49:52,400
See, Rosie can’t figure it out; but one guy
figured out the whole thing and put it on

790
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:57,950
the spare tire cover on his van. I saw that;
I said, “Man, I’ve got to get a picture of

791
00:49:57,950 --> 00:50:00,670
this!” This explains everything.

792
00:50:00,670 --> 00:50:07,670
He said, “Blaming guns for Columbine is like
blaming spoons for Rosie O’Donnell being fat.”

793
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:17,300
It’s not the spoon’s fault, Rosie! And it’s
not the guns’ fault, either. Yeah, blame the

794
00:50:17,300 --> 00:50:21,200
gun - that’s brilliant! SAT scores have plummeted
since 1963.

795
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,610
Twice in the last forty years they have dumbed
down the test.

796
00:50:24,610 --> 00:50:31,310
They made the test dumber, so the scores would
go back up. Teen suicide rates have gone crazy.

797
00:50:31,310 --> 00:50:36,340
Now, if I told you that if you kissed a frog,
it would turn to a prince, what would you

798
00:50:36,340 --> 00:50:36,660
say?

799
00:50:36,660 --> 00:50:40,230
You would say, “No, frogs don’t turn into
princes.”

800
00:50:40,230 --> 00:50:42,770
How many of you ladies got your husband by
kissing a frog?

801
00:50:42,770 --> 00:50:46,730
Come on, let’s see. Looks like only about
three.

802
00:50:46,730 --> 00:50:50,119
See, it doesn’t happen very often; but in
the textbooks it does.

803
00:50:50,119 --> 00:50:57,119
We started off like an amoeba and slowly evolved
into a frog and very slowly became a prince.

804
00:50:57,869 --> 00:51:04,550
It’s the same fairy tale. See, if the frog
turns into a prince quickly, we all know it’s

805
00:51:04,550 --> 00:51:05,710
a fairy tale.

806
00:51:05,710 --> 00:51:11,400
But if the frog turns into a prince slowly,
now then, that’s modern science.

807
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:17,720
No, I’m sorry, that’s still a fairy tale - even
more of a fairy tale.

808
00:51:17,720 --> 00:51:20,490
The difference is not a kiss. That won’t do
it anymore.

809
00:51:20,490 --> 00:51:23,100
Today, boys and girls, if you want to turn
your frog into a prince, you’ve got to have

810
00:51:23,100 --> 00:51:30,100
a super, special, high-powered, magic ingredient
called billions and billions of years.

811
00:51:31,619 --> 00:51:32,869
How many of you have ever heard that before?

812
00:51:32,869 --> 00:51:37,560
“Billions of years ago..” It’s all in the
textbooks. You see it on TV, in the magazines;

813
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:40,080
it’s in “National Geographic.”

814
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:44,700
“Billions and billions of years ago...” They
talk about it like it’s a fact of science.

815
00:51:44,700 --> 00:51:49,170
Here is a fourth grade textbook. It says,
“Many millions of years ago...”

816
00:51:49,170 --> 00:51:54,910
Now wait a minute. If anybody ever says that
to me, I say, “Were you there?” They’ll say,

817
00:51:54,910 --> 00:51:56,940
“No, of course I wasn’t there.”

818
00:51:56,940 --> 00:52:00,310
Then I’ll say, “Now do you know the earth
is millions of years old?

819
00:52:00,310 --> 00:52:03,420
Is this really a part of science? Is this
something we can observe, study, test, and

820
00:52:03,420 --> 00:52:04,119
demonstrate?”

821
00:52:04,119 --> 00:52:10,110
They’ll say, “No, but everybody believes the
earth is millions of years old.” No, they

822
00:52:10,110 --> 00:52:10,930
don’t.

823
00:52:10,930 --> 00:52:16,530
Most Americans believe the earth is less than
10,000 years old and God made it.

824
00:52:16,530 --> 00:52:22,960
Less than 15% are evolutionists and atheists
in the surveys that they take. Majority of

825
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:26,630
Americans do not believe the earth is millions
of years old.

826
00:52:26,630 --> 00:52:30,290
Now it’s true that slightly more than half
the scientists believe in evolution. That’s

827
00:52:30,290 --> 00:52:34,880
true, I agree. But that doesn’t make it true.
It’s true that they believe it, but what they

828
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:36,110
believe is not true.

829
00:52:36,110 --> 00:52:39,760
See, just because a bunch of scientists believe
something doesn’t mean anything.

830
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:43,690
There was a time when scientists taught that
the planets go around the earth.

831
00:52:43,690 --> 00:52:47,010
The scientists used to teach that a big rock
will fall faster than a little rock.

832
00:52:47,010 --> 00:52:51,050
They used to teach that if you were sick,
you had bad blood. Take out your blood, and

833
00:52:51,050 --> 00:52:53,100
you will get better.

834
00:52:53,100 --> 00:52:56,510
There were special places all over America
to get your blood taken out.

835
00:52:56,510 --> 00:52:59,300
You could tell where they were, because they
had a white pole with a red stripe around

836
00:52:59,300 --> 00:53:00,560
it.

837
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:04,619
The barber was the blood letter. And right
beside George Washington, ...

838
00:53:04,619 --> 00:53:07,560
... when they were bleeding him to death,
was a Bible that told him, “For the life of

839
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:09,340
the flesh is in the blood:”

840
00:53:09,340 --> 00:53:15,600
If they would have read that verse, he might
still be alive today. Well, he would have

841
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:16,310
lived longer, anyway.

842
00:53:16,310 --> 00:53:19,790
But listen, if you went scuba diving and found
a treasure chest full of gold coins.

843
00:53:19,790 --> 00:53:23,420
And I asked you the simple question, “When
did the boat sink?”

844
00:53:23,420 --> 00:53:29,369
You say, “I don’t know.” Well, look at the
dates on the coins.

845
00:53:29,369 --> 00:53:34,340
If there’s a coin in that box from 1750, you
ought to be able to figure out that the boat

846
00:53:34,340 --> 00:53:38,560
sank after 1750.

847
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:43,280
How many can figure that out with no help
at all? It couldn’t sink before that, could

848
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:43,820
it?

849
00:53:43,820 --> 00:53:46,720
You don’t poke around in the box and find
the oldest coin.

850
00:53:46,720 --> 00:53:52,010
You have to find the most recent coin. And
that kind of limits when the boat could have

851
00:53:52,010 --> 00:53:52,500
sunk.

852
00:53:52,500 --> 00:53:54,310
That’s called the limiting factor.

853
00:53:54,310 --> 00:53:58,500
Did you know that there are probably a hundred
different ways to tell how old the earth is?

854
00:53:58,500 --> 00:54:02,040
A lot of them give big numbers, and a lot
of them give small numbers, but it’s the small

855
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,820
ones we’ve got to worry about.

856
00:54:04,820 --> 00:54:09,750
If you find a dinosaur bone, you should notice
two things about it immediately.

857
00:54:09,750 --> 00:54:16,020
Number one, it does not talk. Number two,
it doesn’t have a date stamped on it.

858
00:54:16,020 --> 00:54:23,020
It does not say: “Made by a dinosaur in 70
million BC in Taiwan.” They don’t say that,

859
00:54:23,450 --> 00:54:23,720
OK?

860
00:54:23,720 --> 00:54:28,070
So, how do you tell the age of a fossil? How
do you tell the age of the earth?

861
00:54:28,070 --> 00:54:32,740
How old is this earth anyway? Well, the Bible
dates add up to about 6,000 years.

862
00:54:32,740 --> 00:54:37,110
The textbooks say it’s billions. Somebody
is wrong.

863
00:54:37,110 --> 00:54:41,130
There is a difference between 6,000 and 20
billion.

864
00:54:41,130 --> 00:54:44,210
Congress doesn’t seem to understand the difference,
but there is a difference, OK?

865
00:54:44,210 --> 00:54:45,630
We’ll talk about that in the next session.

866
00:54:45,630 --> 00:54:49,130
How do you show that the earth is not billions
of years old?

867
00:54:49,130 --> 00:54:52,750
But if it is only 6,000 years old like the
Bible teaches, that raises some interesting

868
00:54:52,750 --> 00:54:53,790
questions.

869
00:54:53,790 --> 00:54:56,690
What about the dinosaurs? What about carbon
dating?

870
00:54:56,690 --> 00:54:59,630
How did the light from the stars get here?
What about Grand Canyon?

871
00:54:59,630 --> 00:55:02,810
Didn’t it take million of years to form? What
about the geologic column?

872
00:55:02,810 --> 00:55:07,510
Well folks, that’s why my seminar is about
seventeen hours long. I am talking as fast

873
00:55:07,510 --> 00:55:09,359
as I can go, but we cover all that.

874
00:55:09,359 --> 00:55:11,600
We’ll cover some more of that in just a minute.

875
00:55:16,100 --> 00:55:22,760
The Bible says in Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning
God created the heaven and the earth.”

876
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:24,560
When was the beginning?

877
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:29,780
The Bible says that Jesus created all things
in heaven and earth.

878
00:55:29,780 --> 00:55:35,180
Well wait, did God create the heaven and the
earth or did Jesus create the heaven and the

879
00:55:35,180 --> 00:55:35,430
earth?

880
00:55:35,340 --> 00:55:36,190
Well, they are both fine.

881
00:55:36,190 --> 00:55:40,920
Jesus is God Almighty in the flesh in spite
of what “Jehovah’s false witnesses” teach,

882
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:41,760
OK?

883
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:47,900
Jesus said in Matthew 19:4, “Have ye not read
that he which made them at the beginning made

884
00:55:47,900 --> 00:55:49,920
them male and female.”

885
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:55,359
By the way, that was Adam and Eve, not Adam
and Steve. But Jesus said that was the beginning.

886
00:55:55,359 --> 00:56:01,440
Same thing in Mark 10:6, “From the beginning
of the creation God made them male and female.”

887
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:05,609
The Bible says death came into the world because
of man’s sin.

888
00:56:05,609 --> 00:56:07,790
Nothing died until Adam sinned.

889
00:56:07,790 --> 00:56:11,420
By man came death. The Bible is real clear
on the topic.

890
00:56:11,420 --> 00:56:16,510
Adam was the first man and Eve was the mother
of all living.

891
00:56:16,510 --> 00:56:20,310
Well, that makes it pretty easy then; we just
add up the dates.

892
00:56:20,310 --> 00:56:23,480
The Bibles says Adam was 130 when Seth was
born.

893
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,230
Seth was 105 when Enos was born.

894
00:56:26,230 --> 00:56:28,890
Enos was 90 when Cainan was born.

895
00:56:28,890 --> 00:56:32,869
You go through the Bible; you add up the dates;
it’s not hard to do.

896
00:56:32,869 --> 00:56:34,880
You can make a chart like this pretty easily.

897
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:39,040
If you get my seminar notebook, the last page
folds out to be that chart, or we’ve got them

898
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:40,580
laminated like this one.

899
00:56:40,580 --> 00:56:43,800
You might want them for placemats when your
skeptic friends come over for lunch.

900
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:49,540
You can really stir up a conversation with
one of those. Our ministry has quite a few

901
00:56:49,540 --> 00:56:51,660
placemats. And the kids can read that instead
of the cereal box.

902
00:56:51,660 --> 00:56:57,150
But if you add up the dates in the Bible,
you are going to get about 4000 BC for the

903
00:56:57,150 --> 00:56:58,619
creation.

904
00:56:58,619 --> 00:57:02,020
Not millions of years ago, but 4000 BC.

905
00:57:02,020 --> 00:57:04,530
Now I’m not one of those guys that tries to
put an exact date on it.

906
00:57:04,530 --> 00:57:06,530
I don’t say that it was 4004 BC,

907
00:57:06,530 --> 00:57:08,250
October 23rd at two in the afternoon.

908
00:57:08,250 --> 00:57:10,600
I don’t think you can get that close from
Scripture.

909
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:16,100
I think Adam was made in the afternoon because
it was just before Eve. It’s the only clue

910
00:57:16,100 --> 00:57:16,859
I found.

911
00:57:16,859 --> 00:57:21,619
And I can’t prove this but I think I figured
out why God made Adam first.

912
00:57:21,619 --> 00:57:27,890
I think God made Adam first because he didn’t
want any advice on how to do it.

913
00:57:27,890 --> 00:57:31,359
How many would agree with that one?

914
00:57:31,359 --> 00:57:36,880
By the way, BC means Before Christ. Almost
all the new textbooks are changing it to say

915
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:41,390
BCE- before the common era.

916
00:57:41,390 --> 00:57:46,190
Christ is gone from the schools, folks. Textbooks
say the earth is billions of years old. Jesus

917
00:57:46,190 --> 00:57:48,930
said the creation of Adam was the beginning.

918
00:57:48,930 --> 00:57:55,930
Well, was He lying? Did He not understand
science? Or was He right?

919
00:57:56,119 --> 00:57:59,619
How old is the earth? When was the beginning?

920
00:57:59,619 --> 00:58:05,430
“Thou Lord in the beginning has laid the foundations
of the earth.” How old is this earth?

921
00:58:05,430 --> 00:58:09,190
Could that date of 4000 BC be correct?

922
00:58:09,190 --> 00:58:12,680
I do many debates at universities and speak
on a lot of talk shows and stuff, and there’s

923
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:13,609
always some atheist that calls in.

924
00:58:13,609 --> 00:58:19,280
He will call in and say, “Hovind, I have got
a question, Who did Adam’s sons marry?”

925
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,130
Good question and a fair question.

926
00:58:21,130 --> 00:58:25,390
I say that’s a good question and I’d be glad
to answer that. However, you guys are the

927
00:58:25,390 --> 00:58:27,150
ones that have a serious problem.

928
00:58:27,150 --> 00:58:31,180
The Bible says “Cain went out from the presence
of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod,

929
00:58:31,180 --> 00:58:34,130
on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife
and she conceived.” Well, it doesn’t say he

930
00:58:34,130 --> 00:58:35,300
found her there.

931
00:58:35,300 --> 00:58:39,250
But who was his wife and who did Seth marry
anyway?

932
00:58:39,250 --> 00:58:43,280
And I think I can answer that. However, compared
to the evolutionists we have a minor problem.

933
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:47,810
They believe that 18 or 20 billion years ago,
there was a big bang where nothing exploded

934
00:58:47,810 --> 00:58:49,640
and made everything.

935
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:55,050
And 4.6 billion years ago the earth cooled
down and it was a hot ball of rock.

936
00:58:55,050 --> 00:58:58,020
“The earth began as a hot ball of rock.”

937
00:58:58,020 --> 00:59:02,670
And then millions of years of torrential rains
created great oceans, and swirling in the

938
00:59:02,670 --> 00:59:05,660
waters of the oceans is a bubbling broth of
complex chemicals.

939
00:59:05,660 --> 00:59:11,220
“Progress from a complex chemical soup to
a living organism is very slow.”

940
00:59:11,220 --> 00:59:14,690
It sure is; it doesn’t even happen; that’s
how slow it is!

941
00:59:14,690 --> 00:59:19,540
This guy said, “The first self-replicating
systems must have emerged in this organic

942
00:59:19,540 --> 00:59:20,580
soup.”

943
00:59:20,580 --> 00:59:25,609
So according to the big bang theory, 20 billion
years ago there was a big bang, and then 4.6

944
00:59:25,609 --> 00:59:26,890
billion years ago the earth cooled down.

945
00:59:26,890 --> 00:59:30,500
It rained on the rocks for millions of years,
turned them into soup, and the soup came alive

946
00:59:30,500 --> 00:59:33,280
3 billion years ago.

947
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:38,680
And that first life-form found somebody to
marry (now there’s a good trick) and something

948
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:42,830
to eat, of course, and slowly evolved into
everything we see today.

949
00:59:42,830 --> 00:59:44,250
That’s the big bang theory.

950
00:59:44,250 --> 00:59:48,850
So great-great-great-great-grandpa was soup.

951
00:59:48,850 --> 00:59:53,350
I spoke at a college in Boston one time. They
said, “Hovind, you can come to speak at our

952
00:59:53,350 --> 00:59:56,600
college, if our professors can ask you any
questions they want.

953
00:59:56,600 --> 01:00:01,359
We would like to show the students how dumb
you Christians really are.”

954
01:00:01,359 --> 01:00:02,750
I said, “I would be honored to come for that.”

955
01:00:02,750 --> 01:00:07,070
So I showed up. There were six professors
and all their students in the room. You know,

956
01:00:07,070 --> 01:00:08,730
I felt like Daniel in the lion’s den!

957
01:00:08,730 --> 01:00:15,510
I got out my charts and said, “Folks, I believe
the Bible. I believe 6,000 years ago God made

958
01:00:15,510 --> 01:00:19,490
everything. Then 4,400 years ago, God sent
a Flood which destroyed everything.”

959
01:00:19,490 --> 01:00:24,470
“Noah saved two of each kind - not species
- kind of animal life on the ark.”

960
01:00:24,470 --> 01:00:27,140
Then I told them what they believe, because
most of them don’t know what they believe.

961
01:00:27,140 --> 01:00:28,960
Twenty billion years ago there was a big bang.

962
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:32,130
Then 4.6 billion years ago, the earth cooled
down. It rained on the rocks for millions

963
01:00:32,130 --> 01:00:34,960
of years, turned them into soup and the soup
came alive.

964
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:35,890
One professor was really upset.

965
01:00:35,890 --> 01:00:38,980
He said, “Hovind, do you realize that there
are hundreds of varieties of dogs in the world?”

966
01:00:38,980 --> 01:00:41,960
I said, “Oh yeah, there’s a bunch.”

967
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:45,410
He said, “You mean to tell me that you believe
all those dogs came from just two dogs on

968
01:00:45,410 --> 01:00:46,160
Noah’s ark?

969
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:48,180
Do you expect me to believe that?”

970
01:00:48,180 --> 01:00:53,190
I said, “Sir, would you look at what you are
teaching your students?

971
01:00:53,190 --> 01:01:00,190
You’re teaching your students that all those
dogs came from a rock.”

972
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:02,280
He didn’t have any more questions after that.

973
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:07,530
Anyway, who did Adam’s sons marry? Well, the
Bible says Adam lived after he begat Seth

974
01:01:07,530 --> 01:01:12,950
800 years and begat sons and daughters.

975
01:01:12,950 --> 01:01:17,390
How many kids could you have in 800 years?
Several, right?

976
01:01:17,390 --> 01:01:22,869
A friend of mine in Arkansas had 15 kids in
15 years.

977
01:01:22,869 --> 01:01:29,869
I met a family from Minnesota with 20 children,
all of them under 20. It’s cold in Minnesota.

978
01:01:32,350 --> 01:01:37,000
So who did Adam’s sons marry? Well, they married
sisters.

979
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:37,980
You say, “Married their sisters?!”

980
01:01:37,980 --> 01:01:40,440
Well calm down; first of all, there’s no other
choice, OK?

981
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:47,180
Secondly, who are you going to report them
to? Think about it.

982
01:01:47,180 --> 01:01:52,260
Thirdly, there were no laws against it till
2,500 years later when Moses gave the law.

983
01:01:52,260 --> 01:01:56,700
They didn’t need laws against it at first.
For the first thousand years or so, the race

984
01:01:56,700 --> 01:01:58,900
had almost no genetic defects.

985
01:01:58,900 --> 01:02:04,690
There was no problem marrying a sister. See,
everything about you is inherited. Even having

986
01:02:04,690 --> 01:02:08,160
children is hereditary. If your parents don’t
have any, you won’t either.

987
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:15,160
You say, “Wow, I never thought about that.”
Go think about it. You’ll see I’m right.

988
01:02:15,730 --> 01:02:19,780
People say, “You can’t marry sisters; what
about genetic similarity?”

989
01:02:19,780 --> 01:02:26,160
Adam married his rib. Talk about genetic similarity!
It was not going to be a problem back then.

990
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:29,950
And you won’t notice this reading the Bible,
but when you graph out the date, it is pretty

991
01:02:29,950 --> 01:02:30,200
amazing.

992
01:02:30,190 --> 01:02:35,320
You’ll realize that Adam lived long enough
to know his great-great-great-great-grandson.

993
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:39,590
Noah’s daddy could have known Adam for 56
years.

994
01:02:39,590 --> 01:02:42,210
Can you imagine a family reunion back in those
days?

995
01:02:42,210 --> 01:02:47,740
All right, everybody hop on the camel. We
are going to go visit great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandpa

996
01:02:47,740 --> 01:02:48,240
Adam.

997
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:52,820
And he is going to tell us what it was like
in the Garden of Eden (before the first woman

998
01:02:52,820 --> 01:02:57,359
ate the first man out of house and home).

999
01:02:57,359 --> 01:02:59,940
I do tell a lot of Adam-and-Eve jokes. And
I’ll just tell you that right now. And this

1000
01:02:59,940 --> 01:03:02,599
one lady said, “Now just where would you men
be without us women?”

1001
01:03:02,599 --> 01:03:06,470
I said, “In the Garden of Eden.”

1002
01:03:06,470 --> 01:03:13,170
But it’d be lonely; it wouldn’t be worth it.

1003
01:03:13,170 --> 01:03:16,490
You won’t notice this reading your Bible either,
but when you graph out the dates, it’s like,

1004
01:03:16,490 --> 01:03:18,060
wow, that’s pretty cool!

1005
01:03:18,060 --> 01:03:22,520
Noah’s son Shem lived long enough after the
Flood to know Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

1006
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:29,520
Jacob had 13 kids: 12 boys and 1 girl. One
of those boys was Joseph.

1007
01:03:29,590 --> 01:03:32,730
He’s the guy that got the coat of many colors.
And the brothers got jealous and beat him

1008
01:03:32,730 --> 01:03:34,400
up. They threw him in the pit and he ended
up down in Egypt.

1009
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:37,090
And he became the “Vice Pharaoh” or whatever
they called it.

1010
01:03:37,090 --> 01:03:40,210
And later Joseph invited all of his brothers
to move down to Egypt and live with them.

1011
01:03:40,210 --> 01:03:45,320
So Joseph is introducing his dad, Jacob, to
Pharaoh. And Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How old

1012
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:46,550
are you?”

1013
01:03:46,550 --> 01:03:49,130
And Jacob said, “I’m 130 years old.”

1014
01:03:49,130 --> 01:03:52,760
“Few and evil have the days of the years of
my life been and have not attained unto the

1015
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:54,920
days of the years of the life of my fathers.”

1016
01:03:54,920 --> 01:04:00,970
I read that verse 36 years ago as a brand
new Christian and I thought, what’s he saying

1017
01:04:00,970 --> 01:04:01,440
here?

1018
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:05,470
I’m 130, but this is nothing compared to my
ancestors?

1019
01:04:05,470 --> 01:04:10,590
Yeah, when you figure he could have personally
known Shem, Arphaxad, Salah, and Eber.

1020
01:04:10,590 --> 01:04:14,720
If you were 130 but you know a 600-year-old
that lives around the corner, you just don’t

1021
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:15,859
feel so old anymore.

1022
01:04:15,859 --> 01:04:19,740
Anyway, the textbooks say that the earth is
billions of years old.

1023
01:04:19,740 --> 01:04:22,050
Jesus said the creation of Adam was the beginning.

1024
01:04:22,050 --> 01:04:24,920
Now was Jesus lying? Was He stupid?

1025
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:28,640
Or was He right? How old is the earth?

1026
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:32,340
Do the books in this town teach the kids the
earth is billions of years old?

1027
01:04:32,340 --> 01:04:35,320
Are they going to learn this in school when
they go back?

1028
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:37,660
“4.6 billion years ago ...”

1029
01:04:37,660 --> 01:04:41,820
Even some Christians are teaching that the
earth is billions of years old.

1030
01:04:41,820 --> 01:04:45,099
Some people do who really sincerely, honestly
love the Lord!

1031
01:04:45,099 --> 01:04:47,880
This list of folks tells some of those, just
a few of those, who teach that the earth is

1032
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:49,500
billions of years old.

1033
01:04:49,500 --> 01:04:52,740
I debated Hugh Ross for three hours on the
John Ankerberg show.

1034
01:04:52,740 --> 01:04:56,599
Both of those guys believe that the earth
is billions of years old. People say, “Well

1035
01:04:56,599 --> 01:04:58,700
who cares? What difference does it make?”

1036
01:04:58,700 --> 01:05:00,890
It makes a giant difference.

1037
01:05:00,890 --> 01:05:03,960
Because if you are going to have billions
of years, you are going to have death before

1038
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:05,940
sin.

1039
01:05:05,940 --> 01:05:09,940
Now you have a heresy. And it is heresy!

1040
01:05:09,940 --> 01:05:13,109
It’s not heresy to believe the earth is billions
of years old, but it is heresy to put death

1041
01:05:13,109 --> 01:05:13,760
before sin.

1042
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:15,560
Now that is a clear heresy.

1043
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:21,840
The Bible says death reigned from Adam to
Moses. By man came death. In Adam all die.

1044
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:23,119
Who cares about the age of the earth?

1045
01:05:23,119 --> 01:05:26,690
Well for one thing, the credibility of Genesis
is at stake.

1046
01:05:26,690 --> 01:05:31,540
The average person reading that book is not
going to find billions of years in there.

1047
01:05:31,540 --> 01:05:33,140
So the question is real simple.

1048
01:05:33,140 --> 01:05:36,619
Can the average person read the Bible and
understand it or do we have to have some guru

1049
01:05:36,619 --> 01:05:38,460
tell us what it means?

1050
01:05:38,460 --> 01:05:44,930
Secondly, the credibility of Jesus is at stake
since He quoted Genesis 25 times. And just

1051
01:05:44,930 --> 01:05:49,510
about every other book in the Bible refers
to the Book of Genesis.

1052
01:05:49,510 --> 01:05:52,940
It’s an important topic. And the evolutionists
really care!

1053
01:05:52,940 --> 01:05:57,810
If you take away billions of years, their
theory looks real silly.

1054
01:05:57,810 --> 01:06:02,440
Jesus said, “For had ye believed Moses, ye
would have believed me: for he wrote of me.”

1055
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:05,840
Well, the Bible clearly teaches about 6,000
years.

1056
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:09,390
Let’s see what the scientific evidence says.

1057
01:06:09,390 --> 01:06:14,390
In 1999 the world’s population crossed over
the 6 billion mark.

1058
01:06:14,390 --> 01:06:17,640
In 1985 there were 5 billion people on planet
earth.

1059
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:20,349
In 1800 there was one billion people here.

1060
01:06:20,349 --> 01:06:24,460
Everybody agrees there were about one billion
people here around 1800. And everybody agrees

1061
01:06:24,460 --> 01:06:26,680
the world’s population is growing rapidly.

1062
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:32,609
But the world is not overcrowded. Don’t fall
for that over-populated propaganda going around

1063
01:06:32,609 --> 01:06:33,619
the schools.

1064
01:06:33,619 --> 01:06:35,320
The world is not overcrowded.

1065
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:39,590
The whole world’s population today, all 6
billion people, would fit inside Jacksonville,

1066
01:06:39,590 --> 01:06:42,730
Florida twice.

1067
01:06:42,730 --> 01:06:45,280
That little city has 25 billion square feet.

1068
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:48,270
The world’s not overcrowded, folks.

1069
01:06:48,270 --> 01:06:53,849
Have you driven across Nebraska? Or Kansas?
Or New Mexico? Or Texas?

1070
01:06:53,849 --> 01:06:56,670
Drive across Texas. Have any of you driven
across Texas?

1071
01:06:56,670 --> 01:06:59,440
You can go for three days. Are we still in
Texas?

1072
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:04,030
Yeah, nothing out there but flat rabbits,
I tell you what.

1073
01:07:04,030 --> 01:07:04,980
The world’s not overcrowded.

1074
01:07:04,980 --> 01:07:08,420
Drive across Tennessee, for Heaven’s sake.
It’s not overcrowded.

1075
01:07:08,420 --> 01:07:12,180
Look, if it’s overcrowded where you are, move!

1076
01:07:12,180 --> 01:07:17,040
There is plenty of room out there other places,
OK? Back when Jesus was here, the world’s

1077
01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:21,920
population was only about a quarter of a billion!

1078
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:26,570
It looks like the whole population growth
curve started about 4,400 years ago.

1079
01:07:26,570 --> 01:07:30,140
Now if you believe in evolution, you’ve got
a problem.

1080
01:07:30,140 --> 01:07:33,020
You think man’s been here for 3 million years.

1081
01:07:33,020 --> 01:07:40,020
In 3 million years the population would have
grown. Right now there’d be about 150,000

1082
01:07:40,990 --> 01:07:43,520
people per square inch.

1083
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:48,290
That would be crowded. No, man’s not been
here for millions of years.

1084
01:07:48,290 --> 01:07:52,200
God told Adam to replenish the earth; fill
it with kids. Have lots of kids!

1085
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:56,480
“He formed the world to be inhabited,” Isaiah
45 tells us.

1086
01:07:56,480 --> 01:08:00,240
We got people on the other side saying we
should reduce the population of the earth.

1087
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:02,109
That is Satan’s plan, of course.

1088
01:08:02,109 --> 01:08:07,180
Jacques Cousteau said we need to eliminate
350,000 people per day.

1089
01:08:07,180 --> 01:08:11,840
Ted Turner said we need a 95% decline in populations.

1090
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:15,030
Okay, Ted, you first.

1091
01:08:15,030 --> 01:08:19,660
These guys for the New World Order want to
reduce the population of the world to a half

1092
01:08:19,660 --> 01:08:20,880
billion.

1093
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:25,569
See, Satan was told by the Lord in the Garden
of Eden, “You are going to crawl on your belly

1094
01:08:25,569 --> 01:08:28,109
and eat dust all your life.”

1095
01:08:28,109 --> 01:08:32,399
Then the Lord said, “I will put enmity between
thee and the woman, between thy seed and her

1096
01:08:32,399 --> 01:08:35,729
seed, it shall bruise thy head.”

1097
01:08:35,729 --> 01:08:38,880
Satan knows that someday some seed of the
woman is going to bruise his head and he’s

1098
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:40,250
not looking forward to that.

1099
01:08:40,250 --> 01:08:43,859
So he has decided he’s going to kill every
human being on the planet.

1100
01:08:43,859 --> 01:08:48,920
Satan’s goal is to kill all of humanity to
thwart God’s plan.

1101
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:51,089
God said to fill the earth with kids; have
a bunch of kids.

1102
01:08:51,089 --> 01:08:52,979
Satan says, “No, we are going to reduce it
to zero.”

1103
01:08:52,979 --> 01:08:58,920
Remember when Herod wanted to kill baby Jesus
in Bethlehem? What did he do?

1104
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:03,920
He killed all the children. Let’s be sure
to get the right one. Just kill them all.

1105
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:06,729
And Satan’s going to try to kill every human
being on the planet.

1106
01:09:06,729 --> 01:09:09,960
Charles Wurster said, “People are the cause
of all the problems, we need to get rid of

1107
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:11,540
some of them.”

1108
01:09:11,540 --> 01:09:14,839
Bill Clinton signed the biodiversity treaty
that said we need to reduce the earth’s population

1109
01:09:14,839 --> 01:09:15,839
to one billion.

1110
01:09:15,839 --> 01:09:20,040
They’ve already got the earth divided up into
regions.

1111
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:23,950
The red areas on the map are for animals only.
No human beings allowed.

1112
01:09:23,950 --> 01:09:29,020
The treaty’s been signed; it just hasn’t been
enforced yet - coming soon though.

1113
01:09:29,020 --> 01:09:32,469
Peter Singer is the guy who wants to have
abortions after the baby’s born.

1114
01:09:32,469 --> 01:09:36,020
You have got 28 days to decide if you want
to keep it.

1115
01:09:36,020 --> 01:09:37,750
He said, “Christianity is our foe.”

1116
01:09:37,750 --> 01:09:41,899
“If animal rights is to succeed, we must destroy
the Judeo-Christian religious tradition.”

1117
01:09:41,899 --> 01:09:45,469
Like animals should have more rights than
humans. Alan Gregg said, “The world has cancer,

1118
01:09:45,469 --> 01:09:48,609
and the cancer is man.”

1119
01:09:48,609 --> 01:09:51,850
Prince Phillip is the husband of Queen Elizabeth.
She’s the one that invented the “micro-wave.”

1120
01:09:51,850 --> 01:09:58,850
Prince Phillip said, “If I could be reincarnated,
I would wish to return to earth as a killer

1121
01:09:59,780 --> 01:10:03,370
virus to lower human population levels.”

1122
01:10:03,370 --> 01:10:09,610
Nice guy, Phil. By the way, Monsanto is real
busy on developing genetically modified foods.

1123
01:10:09,610 --> 01:10:10,940
They banned them in Europe.

1124
01:10:10,940 --> 01:10:17,239
But 70% of everything you eat now contains
genetically modified foods, causing all kinds

1125
01:10:17,239 --> 01:10:19,040
of problems with health.

1126
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:21,969
Get the book, “Seeds of Deception,” if you
want a whole lot more on that.

1127
01:10:21,969 --> 01:10:26,840
Or read “Engineered Extinction” from the “New
American” magazine about how our food is being

1128
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:28,500
tampered with to reduce the population.

1129
01:10:28,500 --> 01:10:32,630
The United Nations said, “Food is power, we
use it to control behavior, ... we do not

1130
01:10:32,630 --> 01:10:33,440
apologize.”

1131
01:10:33,440 --> 01:10:38,170
And before you get excited about vaccines,
you might want to read what’s happening with

1132
01:10:38,170 --> 01:10:41,270
the viruses being injected in with the vaccines.

1133
01:10:41,270 --> 01:10:42,710
Time bombs are being planted in there.

1134
01:10:42,710 --> 01:10:48,400
There’s a long story on that; we cover more
on that in our “Bible & Health” video tape.

1135
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:55,300
Autism has gone crazy. There’s been a 75,000
percent increase in autism in Illinois! It’s

1136
01:10:55,300 --> 01:10:57,530
from vaccines, most people believe.

1137
01:10:57,530 --> 01:11:00,530
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) seems
to be from vaccines.

1138
01:11:00,530 --> 01:11:03,020
In Australia they made vaccines non-mandatory.

1139
01:11:03,020 --> 01:11:08,700
50% of the people dropped out, and Australia
had a 50% drop in (SIDS) Sudden Infant Death

1140
01:11:08,700 --> 01:11:09,930
Syndrome.

1141
01:11:09,930 --> 01:11:13,219
Go to www.marytocco.com if you want more on
vaccines.

1142
01:11:13,219 --> 01:11:17,000
But there are people who want to reduce the
population of the earth.

1143
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:21,590
Go outside of Atlanta, Georgia, to the town
of Elberton. Go north about seven or eight

1144
01:11:21,590 --> 01:11:23,030
miles on Highway 77.

1145
01:11:23,030 --> 01:11:27,370
Look off to the right. You’ll see a place
where they teach that we should reduce the

1146
01:11:27,370 --> 01:11:29,000
population of the planet.

1147
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:32,950
If you look off to the right, you’ll see these
stones over here that look like Stonehenge.

1148
01:11:32,950 --> 01:11:35,270
You drive over there and it is the weirdest
place - in the middle of nowhere.

1149
01:11:35,270 --> 01:11:41,210
You get up and you read them and it says in
12 languages: The Ten Commandments for the

1150
01:11:41,210 --> 01:11:43,570
New World Order.

1151
01:11:43,570 --> 01:11:48,670
Commandment number one, Maintain humanity
under one-half billion.

1152
01:11:48,670 --> 01:11:53,040
Well now hold on a minute, there are already
6 billion people here.

1153
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:58,400
How do they propose to “maintain humanity
under a half billion?”

1154
01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:02,070
Looks to me like there would have to be a
dramatic drop in human population. That is

1155
01:12:02,070 --> 01:12:03,730
exactly what the devil wants.

1156
01:12:03,730 --> 01:12:05,710
More on that in our college class: CSE 101.

1157
01:12:05,710 --> 01:12:09,770
Well, regardless of what happens in the future,
the population today tells us that man has

1158
01:12:09,770 --> 01:12:11,810
only been here about 4,400 years.

1159
01:12:11,810 --> 01:12:17,100
They said it looks like there has been a genetic
bottleneck. The whole population was reduced

1160
01:12:17,100 --> 01:12:19,810
to just a few thousand just a couple thousand
years ago.

1161
01:12:19,810 --> 01:12:23,710
Hey, they are getting closer. Actually it
was all reduced to eight persons only about

1162
01:12:23,710 --> 01:12:25,680
4,400 years ago.

1163
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:29,489
I tell everybody that you keep studying, and
when you get done climbing the mountain of

1164
01:12:29,489 --> 01:12:32,280
truth, you’ll find the Baptists have been
sitting there all along.

1165
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:37,880
Galaxies are spinning, but the stars in the
middle go faster than the stars on the outside.

1166
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:42,840
So why do we still have spiral arms on the
galaxies? They should not be there.

1167
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:48,480
Galaxies are evidence that the universe is
not billions of years old.

1168
01:12:48,480 --> 01:12:51,410
Stars are blowing up all the time. It is called
a supernova or a nova.

1169
01:12:51,410 --> 01:12:55,090
But a star blows up about every 30 years,
and yet there are less than 300 supernova

1170
01:12:55,090 --> 01:12:58,420
remnants or fragments that have been found.

1171
01:12:58,420 --> 01:13:00,980
That’s only a few thousand years worth of
stars.

1172
01:13:00,980 --> 01:13:04,370
Why aren’t there billions of supernova remnants?

1173
01:13:04,370 --> 01:13:07,850
Some people say, “Well, new stars are forming
in the Crab nebula or horsehead nebula.”

1174
01:13:07,850 --> 01:13:11,980
No, that’s a bunch of bologna. We cover that
on video #7. Nobody’s ever seen a star form.

1175
01:13:11,980 --> 01:13:15,030
The planet Jupiter is cooling off rapidly.

1176
01:13:15,030 --> 01:13:19,230
The stars are changing from red giants to
white dwarfs.

1177
01:13:19,230 --> 01:13:23,210
The textbooks say it takes billions of years.
We know that is not true.

1178
01:13:23,210 --> 01:13:28,180
All the ancient astronomers said Sirius was
a red star. Today it is a white dwarf.

1179
01:13:28,180 --> 01:13:31,810
It happens in a few thousand years. Don’t
let them tell you it takes billions of years.

1180
01:13:31,810 --> 01:13:33,730
Jupiter’s cooling off rapidly.

1181
01:13:33,730 --> 01:13:38,980
Constantly losing heat, it cannot be billions
of years old. It would have been cold by now.

1182
01:13:38,980 --> 01:13:43,510
Jupiter’s moon Ganymede has a strong magnetic
field, indicating a liquid core, meaning it

1183
01:13:43,510 --> 01:13:45,570
is not billions of years old.

1184
01:13:45,570 --> 01:13:50,280
Saturn’s rings are expanding away from the
planet. They cannot be billions of years old.

1185
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:53,410
There’s more about that in the book, “In the
Beginning” by Walt Brown, an excellent book

1186
01:13:53,410 --> 01:13:53,880
by the way.

1187
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:58,770
The moon goes around the earth. How many knew
that already? The moon goes around the earth.

1188
01:13:58,770 --> 01:14:02,310
Did you know that as the moon moves around
the earth, it is gradually getting farther

1189
01:14:02,310 --> 01:14:02,630
away?

1190
01:14:02,630 --> 01:14:09,440
We are slowly losing the moon. It’s leaving
us a couple inches a year - no big deal.

1191
01:14:09,440 --> 01:14:13,170
Nothing to worry about; plus nothing you can
do about it anyway.

1192
01:14:13,170 --> 01:14:15,880
But the moon is getting farther from the earth
every day.

1193
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:22,330
Now kids, this is going to be complicated,
so listen carefully. The moon is getting farther

1194
01:14:22,330 --> 01:14:25,270
from the earth every day.

1195
01:14:25,270 --> 01:14:32,270
So that means that it used to be ... closer.
How many can figure this out with no help

1196
01:14:34,390 --> 01:14:35,080
at all?

1197
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:39,580
Well, if you bring the moon in closer, you
start to create a problem, because the moon

1198
01:14:39,580 --> 01:14:43,450
causes the tides.

1199
01:14:43,450 --> 01:14:46,310
You folks in Knoxville probably don’t worry
about the tides.

1200
01:14:46,310 --> 01:14:48,360
But in Pensacola, you worry about the tides.

1201
01:14:48,360 --> 01:14:52,870
You see, if the moon was closer, the tides
would be higher.

1202
01:14:52,870 --> 01:14:55,380
There’s a law called the inverse square law.

1203
01:14:55,380 --> 01:14:59,370
If you brought the moon in to 1/3 the distance,
you take the 1/3, flip it over and square

1204
01:14:59,370 --> 01:15:03,030
it. It’s nine times the gravitational pull!

1205
01:15:03,030 --> 01:15:07,050
If you run all the math on this, you’ll find
out that the moon and earth would have been

1206
01:15:07,050 --> 01:15:09,830
almost together 1.4 billion years ago.

1207
01:15:09,830 --> 01:15:16,270
Dr. Walt Brown says 1.2 billion years ago
is the max life span for the earth and moon.

1208
01:15:16,270 --> 01:15:21,469
Well, if the moon was whizzing around just
above the surface of the earth, that explains

1209
01:15:21,469 --> 01:15:25,590
what happened to the tall dinosaurs.

1210
01:15:25,590 --> 01:15:31,520
They got mooned.

1211
01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:35,670
Comets are flying around through space, but
comets are constantly losing material.

1212
01:15:35,670 --> 01:15:37,800
Stuff blows off the tail of a comet.

1213
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:41,500
You can’t just keep losing; pretty soon it
is gone.

1214
01:15:41,500 --> 01:15:43,460
You know, it’s kind of like your checkbook.

1215
01:15:43,460 --> 01:15:48,250
See, if your outgo exceeds your income, your
upkeep will be your downfall, every single

1216
01:15:48,250 --> 01:15:48,610
time!

1217
01:15:48,610 --> 01:15:53,830
Well, these comets are always losing material.
That’s something you just can’t keep doing

1218
01:15:53,830 --> 01:15:54,860
forever.

1219
01:15:54,860 --> 01:16:01,540
Most astronomer’s say comets can’t last more
than about 10,000 years. OK, well then I have

1220
01:16:01,540 --> 01:16:02,900
a question.

1221
01:16:02,900 --> 01:16:07,710
Why do we still have comets out there? They
should all be gone by now.

1222
01:16:07,710 --> 01:16:11,650
I mentioned in a seminar years ago that comets
are an indication that the solar system is

1223
01:16:11,650 --> 01:16:13,650
less than 10,000 years old.

1224
01:16:13,650 --> 01:16:20,650
And an atheist went home and devoted an entire
Web site against me, an anti-Hovind Web site.

1225
01:16:20,650 --> 01:16:22,500
There are now over a thousand.

1226
01:16:22,500 --> 01:16:28,270
One guy told me there is closer to 2,000 anti-Hovind
Web sites now. I’m so proud of myself.

1227
01:16:28,270 --> 01:16:32,320
Well, this one scoffer on his Web site said,
“Hovind, don’t you know about a Dutch astronomer

1228
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:35,450
back in 1950? His name was Jan Oort.

1229
01:16:35,450 --> 01:16:41,540
He proposed (he hoped; he wished; he prayed)
that there was a great shell of comets out

1230
01:16:41,540 --> 01:16:46,290
there, and new ones kept coming in to replace
the ones that are burning out.”

1231
01:16:46,290 --> 01:16:50,290
So he said that the reason we still have comets
is because new ones are replacing the ones

1232
01:16:50,290 --> 01:16:51,940
that are burning up.

1233
01:16:51,940 --> 01:16:55,210
They called it the “Oort Cloud” of comets.

1234
01:16:55,210 --> 01:16:59,550
He said this Oort cloud is 50,000 astronomical
units away.

1235
01:16:59,550 --> 01:17:04,400
Well, if you don’t know what an astronomical
unit, it is the distance from the sun to the

1236
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:04,670
earth.

1237
01:17:04,670 --> 01:17:07,550
That is one astronomical unit.

1238
01:17:07,550 --> 01:17:12,840
It’s pretty hard to see Pluto without a really
good telescope. And Pluto’s only 39 astronomical

1239
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:13,969
units away.

1240
01:17:13,969 --> 01:17:20,210
You’re never going to see a comet at 50,000
astronomical units, that’s for sure.

1241
01:17:20,210 --> 01:17:25,070
Nobody’s ever seen this Oort cloud. Oort never
saw the Oort cloud.

1242
01:17:25,070 --> 01:17:30,580
The whole thing is based on a mathematical
mistake. There is no Oort cloud.

1243
01:17:30,580 --> 01:17:35,770
Even Carl Sagan said, “Many scientific papers
are written each year about the Oort cloud,

1244
01:17:35,770 --> 01:17:37,630
its properties, its origin, its evolution.
...

1245
01:17:37,630 --> 01:17:42,420
Yet there is not yet a shred of direct observational
evidence for its existence.”

1246
01:17:42,420 --> 01:17:44,690
There is no Oort cloud.

1247
01:17:44,690 --> 01:17:48,880
But the scoffer on his Web site said, “Hovind,
if you want to use the comet argument to prove

1248
01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:49,940
the earth is young, ...

1249
01:17:49,940 --> 01:17:55,690
It’s up to you to prove beyond a shadow of
a doubt that the Oort cloud and other sources

1250
01:17:55,690 --> 01:17:56,920
don’t exist!”

1251
01:17:56,920 --> 01:18:03,910
Wait, wait, wait. How would you prove the
nonexistence of something?

1252
01:18:03,910 --> 01:18:09,730
Wouldn’t I have to be all places at the same
instant to prove something doesn’t exist?

1253
01:18:09,730 --> 01:18:12,820
What he’s trying to do here is called shifting
the burden of proof.

1254
01:18:12,820 --> 01:18:15,550
The liberals do it to us all the time, and
we fall for it.

1255
01:18:15,550 --> 01:18:21,210
I’ll show you how easy it is to do. Suppose
I said that watermelons are blue on the inside

1256
01:18:21,210 --> 01:18:28,210
until you cut the skin. Prove I’m wrong.

1257
01:18:28,469 --> 01:18:31,060
It’s called shifting the burden of proof.
That would be pretty hard to do, wouldn’t

1258
01:18:31,060 --> 01:18:31,390
it?

1259
01:18:31,390 --> 01:18:37,670
As soon as you cut the skin - oh see, it turned
red. I was right; it was blue a second ago.

1260
01:18:37,670 --> 01:18:41,770
He says I have to prove there’s no Oort cloud.
Now wait, Dave, here’s what we know.

1261
01:18:41,770 --> 01:18:46,870
We know we have comets. We know they don’t
last more than about 10,000 years.

1262
01:18:46,870 --> 01:18:51,380
We know the Bible says the earth is 6,000
years old. I don’t have a problem with comets.

1263
01:18:51,380 --> 01:18:55,969
But he wants it to look like I have a problem
with comets, when he’s the one who’s got the

1264
01:18:55,969 --> 01:18:56,550
problem.

1265
01:18:56,550 --> 01:19:01,150
The Bible says, “The heavens declare the glory
of God.” It’s interesting. Evolution theory

1266
01:19:01,150 --> 01:19:04,910
has the sun and stars evolving before the
earth.

1267
01:19:04,910 --> 01:19:09,200
The Bible says, God made the earth before
the sun and stars.

1268
01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:14,400
Everything about the evolution theory is backwards
to the Bible. Every single thing - absolutely

1269
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:16,690
backwards!

1270
01:19:16,690 --> 01:19:19,670
These theories don’t match. Everything’s backwards.

1271
01:19:19,670 --> 01:19:24,719
The Bible says man brought death into the
world. Evolution says death brought man into

1272
01:19:24,719 --> 01:19:26,100
the world.

1273
01:19:26,100 --> 01:19:32,110
The Bible says God created man; evolution
says no, man created God.

1274
01:19:32,110 --> 01:19:34,120
These theories are polar opposites.

1275
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:38,500
People say, “Couldn’t God use evolution to
create?”

1276
01:19:38,500 --> 01:19:41,580
Well He could have, but it’s not the God of
the Bible, that’s for sure.

1277
01:19:41,580 --> 01:19:44,890
The God that would use evolution is cruel,
wasteful, and retarded.

1278
01:19:44,890 --> 01:19:47,310
It’s not a God you would want to pray to,
that’s for sure.

1279
01:19:47,310 --> 01:19:50,800
We’ll cover more of that on video 7 of the
blue series of tapes back there.

1280
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:54,000
The psalmist said, “When I consider thy heavens....”

1281
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:57,890
By the way, heavens is plural; we get into
that more in video #2.

1282
01:19:57,890 --> 01:20:01,500
He said, “when I consider.” Kids, you’d do
yourself a favor every once in a while to

1283
01:20:01,500 --> 01:20:02,670
shut off that TV.

1284
01:20:02,670 --> 01:20:07,270
Go outside, and consider the heavens. Go see
what God has done.

1285
01:20:07,270 --> 01:20:10,640
The psalmist said, “While I was musing, the
fire burned.”

1286
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:13,910
The word muse means “think.” Think.

1287
01:20:13,910 --> 01:20:17,050
The Bible uses that word twice. Think.

1288
01:20:17,050 --> 01:20:20,250
Now, English is a pretty interesting language,
you know.

1289
01:20:20,250 --> 01:20:23,920
A “theist” is a person who says he believes
in God.

1290
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:27,600
If you put the letter “a” in front of a word,
it means the opposite.

1291
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:31,900
So an “atheist” is a person who says he does
not believe in God.

1292
01:20:31,900 --> 01:20:38,680
“Muse” means to think. So what is the opposite?
You got it.

1293
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:41,489
“Amuse” means literally, to not think.

1294
01:20:41,489 --> 01:20:45,190
Did you know we’ve got entire parks where
you can pay money and go do that.

1295
01:20:45,190 --> 01:20:50,010
They are called amusement parks - a place
to not think.

1296
01:20:50,010 --> 01:20:54,380
He said, “When I consider thy heavens, the
work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars,

1297
01:20:54,380 --> 01:20:57,969
which thou hast ordained: What is man that
thou art mindful of him?”

1298
01:20:57,969 --> 01:21:02,610
You know what’s interesting? A person that
spends his time considering what God has done

1299
01:21:02,610 --> 01:21:05,420
is just not impressed with what man can do.

1300
01:21:05,420 --> 01:21:10,170
And some of you parents ought to go home and
look at your kid’s bedroom. And if what you

1301
01:21:10,170 --> 01:21:17,130
see all over the wall are sports heroes (you
listen carefully), you are training your kids

1302
01:21:17,130 --> 01:21:22,410
to meditate on what man can do, not on what
God can do.

1303
01:21:22,410 --> 01:21:25,969
And his brain, his thinking process, is going
to be about that deep.

1304
01:21:25,969 --> 01:21:32,969
You know the depth of his understanding is
“Wow, he threw the ball through the hoop.”

1305
01:21:34,060 --> 01:21:38,800
Who’s going to care in a thousand years? Who’s
going to care in five years?

1306
01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:43,590
Does anybody know who won the Stupid Bowl,
err, Super Bowl five years ago?

1307
01:21:43,590 --> 01:21:49,000
Does anybody care? It doesn’t matter, does
it?

1308
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:51,960
All those grown men out there fighting over
that one ball, and they can all afford to

1309
01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:53,090
go buy their own.

1310
01:21:53,090 --> 01:21:59,100
No, I mean it’s not sinful. It is just dumb
to pay a guy five million dollars to carry

1311
01:21:59,100 --> 01:22:05,280
a pig bladder down a cow pasture through some
plumbing.

1312
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:06,750
It’s not going to last, folks.

1313
01:22:06,750 --> 01:22:10,110
Think about things that are going to last
forever, like what God has done. Meditate

1314
01:22:10,110 --> 01:22:10,620
on that.

1315
01:22:10,620 --> 01:22:13,150
The Bible says, “Speak to the earth and it
shall teach thee.”

1316
01:22:13,150 --> 01:22:17,469
The earth is like a big magnet. Now magnets
always lose their strength.

1317
01:22:17,469 --> 01:22:22,190
The earth’s magnet has lost 10% of its strength
in the last 150 years.

1318
01:22:22,190 --> 01:22:28,050
That means, of course, that it used to be
stronger- since it’s getting weaker.

1319
01:22:28,050 --> 01:22:33,070
And it cannot be more than 25,000 years old.
Just the earth’s magnetic-field decline limits

1320
01:22:33,070 --> 01:22:34,620
it to less than 25,000 years.

1321
01:22:34,620 --> 01:22:40,730
And that also means carbon dating can’t work.
Give you a few examples here: the lower leg

1322
01:22:40,730 --> 01:22:47,730
of a mammoth dated 15,000 years old, but the
skin was 21,000.

1323
01:22:48,340 --> 01:22:54,590
One part of a mammoth is 29,000 years and
another part, 44,000. You talk about a slow

1324
01:22:54,590 --> 01:22:56,430
birth.

1325
01:22:56,430 --> 01:23:02,320
We cover more on Carbon-14 dating in video
#7 and all the serious problems with that.

1326
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:05,180
The textbooks will say, well, yes the magnetic
field is getting weaker, but that’s because

1327
01:23:05,180 --> 01:23:05,750
it’s reversing.

1328
01:23:05,750 --> 01:23:07,949
It’s a pattern of reversals.

1329
01:23:07,949 --> 01:23:12,050
No, there are no magnetic reversals in the
magnetic field at the bottom of the ocean.

1330
01:23:12,050 --> 01:23:16,070
We cover that in video #6. This is all a part
of another theory called: Pangaea.

1331
01:23:16,070 --> 01:23:17,810
How many have ever heard of “Pangaea” before?

1332
01:23:17,810 --> 01:23:20,030
That all the continents used to fit together.

1333
01:23:20,030 --> 01:23:24,560
Well, I bet they didn’t tell you they shrank
Africa nearly 40% to make them fit, did they?

1334
01:23:24,560 --> 01:23:28,130
Did they tell you they took out all of Mexico
and Central America?

1335
01:23:28,130 --> 01:23:33,840
“Senor, que pasa donde esta Mexico, Panama,
Costa Rica and Guatemala?”

1336
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:37,940
And you know they don’t tell you what I think
ought to be obvious to a kindergartner.

1337
01:23:37,940 --> 01:23:43,880
Did you know if you take the water out of
the oceans, you will notice there is dirt

1338
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:50,449
underneath. People say, “Hovind, do you think
the continents were ever connected?”

1339
01:23:50,449 --> 01:23:53,940
I say, “What do you mean? They are still connected.”

1340
01:23:53,940 --> 01:23:58,330
I mean, like right now; it is just the low
places are full of water.

1341
01:23:58,330 --> 01:24:01,380
What do you mean “were they connected?” Hello!
They are still connected.

1342
01:24:01,380 --> 01:24:05,770
What a dumb theory! We cover more of that
in video #6 about Pangaea, in what’s called

1343
01:24:05,770 --> 01:24:07,000
“The Hovind Theory.”

1344
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:10,480
The earth is spinning about 1,000 miles per
hour at the equator. But the earth is slowing

1345
01:24:10,480 --> 01:24:11,250
down.

1346
01:24:11,250 --> 01:24:16,130
The earth actually slows down about a thousandth
of a second every day.

1347
01:24:16,130 --> 01:24:21,650
The earth slows down. “Astronomy Magazine”
ran an article in 1992.

1348
01:24:21,650 --> 01:24:27,860
They said, “Earth’s rotation is slowing down.
... June will be one second longer than normal.”

1349
01:24:27,860 --> 01:24:32,500
We will have a leap second. Leap second?

1350
01:24:32,500 --> 01:24:37,310
Yes, they have to have a leap second about
every year to year and a half, because the

1351
01:24:37,310 --> 01:24:38,760
earth is slowing down.

1352
01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:43,820
Now kids, this is going to be complicated,
so listen carefully.

1353
01:24:43,820 --> 01:24:48,980
The earth is spinning, but it is slowing down

1354
01:24:48,980 --> 01:24:55,980
So that means that it used to be going faster.

1355
01:24:56,270 --> 01:25:02,440
How many can figure this out with no help
at all?

1356
01:25:02,440 --> 01:25:05,469
Well, if the earth is only 6,000 years old,
this is not a problem.

1357
01:25:05,469 --> 01:25:09,710
I mean, it was going a little faster; Adam
wouldn’t notice. He didn’t have a watch anyway.

1358
01:25:09,710 --> 01:25:15,460
Some of the guys would like me to believe
that the earth is billions of years old.

1359
01:25:15,460 --> 01:25:18,250
Man, if you go back billions of years, you
are going to have a problem.

1360
01:25:18,250 --> 01:25:20,620
The earth would be spinning pretty quick.

1361
01:25:20,620 --> 01:25:26,590
Get up; go to bed. Get up; go to bed. Get
up; go to bed. You’d never get anything done.

1362
01:25:26,590 --> 01:25:29,690
Centrifugal force would have been enormous.
Man, the winds would have been 5,000 miles

1363
01:25:29,690 --> 01:25:32,449
an hour from the Coriolis effect.

1364
01:25:32,449 --> 01:25:35,340
And you want me to believe the dinosaurs lived
millions of years ago?

1365
01:25:35,340 --> 01:25:42,340
I know what happened to them. They got blown
off! No, they did not live millions of years

1366
01:25:42,630 --> 01:25:43,430
ago.

1367
01:25:43,430 --> 01:25:45,980
The Sahara Desert has what is called a prevailing
wind pattern.

1368
01:25:45,980 --> 01:25:50,969
The wind almost always blows the same way.
This creates a serious problem.

1369
01:25:50,969 --> 01:25:56,320
The hot air comes off the desert, kills the
trees next door, and that area becomes desert.

1370
01:25:56,320 --> 01:26:00,360
The process is called desertification. You
can read about it in an earth science book.

1371
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:05,460
The Sahara Desert has been studied very carefully.
They did a long study on this and said, You

1372
01:26:05,460 --> 01:26:10,890
know what, folks, the Sahara Desert is probably
about 4,000 years old.

1373
01:26:10,890 --> 01:26:15,340
That’s when it started growing. Egypt used
to be fertile land all over the place.

1374
01:26:15,340 --> 01:26:20,590
OK, well then I have a question: If the earth
is millions of years old, why don’t we have

1375
01:26:20,590 --> 01:26:22,770
a bigger desert someplace?

1376
01:26:22,770 --> 01:26:27,010
Why would the biggest desert on planet earth
be less than 4,000 years old?

1377
01:26:27,010 --> 01:26:30,270
Well, I have a theory about that. Now here’s
my theory.

1378
01:26:30,270 --> 01:26:36,750
I believe about 6,000 years ago, God created
everything; 4,400 years ago there was a Flood.

1379
01:26:36,750 --> 01:26:42,090
Now it’s pretty hard to have a desert under
a flood. You have got to admit that would

1380
01:26:42,090 --> 01:26:43,440
be tough.

1381
01:26:43,440 --> 01:26:46,880
So the desert couldn’t start growing until
the floodwater went down.

1382
01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:51,790
So I predict, based on the Bible, the biggest
desert in the world would be less than 4,400

1383
01:26:51,790 --> 01:26:55,180
years old.

1384
01:26:55,180 --> 01:26:59,730
It is! Wow, maybe the Bible’s right.

1385
01:26:59,730 --> 01:27:03,050
You know when they drill into the ground,
sometimes they hit oil?

1386
01:27:03,050 --> 01:27:07,850
The oil is under incredible pressure in some
places, up to 20,000 (psi) pounds per square

1387
01:27:07,850 --> 01:27:12,510
inch. It will come squirting up out of the
ground- 20,000 psi.

1388
01:27:12,510 --> 01:27:16,380
Well, the guys who study the rocks on top
of the oil say,

1389
01:27:16,380 --> 01:27:19,989
“You know, it just can’t handle that pressure
for more than about 10,000 years.”

1390
01:27:19,989 --> 01:27:25,360
I know the weight of rock supplies pressure,
but the pressure in the well is greater than

1391
01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:27,739
the weight of overburden.

1392
01:27:27,739 --> 01:27:31,230
They say it should have cracked the rock and
leaked off in less than 10,000 years.

1393
01:27:31,230 --> 01:27:37,449
OK, well then, I have got two questions: Where
did the oil come from? And why is it still

1394
01:27:37,449 --> 01:27:38,969
under pressure?

1395
01:27:38,969 --> 01:27:44,239
Well, most scientists agree that oil comes
from organisms that are squished.

1396
01:27:44,239 --> 01:27:46,930
They’re changed by heat and pressure into
oil.

1397
01:27:46,930 --> 01:27:53,250
They learned in 1971 how to make oil in 20
minutes in the laboratory. In Australia they’ve

1398
01:27:53,250 --> 01:27:58,300
got a treatment plant that takes sewage sludge
and turns it into oil in 30 minutes.

1399
01:27:58,300 --> 01:28:05,300
There is a factory in Texas that takes turkey
guts and pressurizes them, heats them, and

1400
01:28:06,260 --> 01:28:07,280
turns them into oil.

1401
01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:12,180
It said in the article: “We duplicated what
Mother Nature does, but what took Mother Nature

1402
01:28:12,180 --> 01:28:15,739
millions of years to do, we do in about 30
minutes.”

1403
01:28:15,739 --> 01:28:20,230
Sinclair has the dinosaur as their logo. They
say dinosaurs turned into oil.

1404
01:28:20,230 --> 01:28:27,230
Yes, boys and girls, they mellowed for 80
million years. I don’t think so.

1405
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:30,850
I have a theory about the oil, and here is
my theory:

1406
01:28:30,850 --> 01:28:37,790
I believe about 6,000 years ago, God created
everything; 4,400 years ago there was a Flood.

1407
01:28:37,790 --> 01:28:41,699
In that Flood, lots of critters and people
drowned.

1408
01:28:41,699 --> 01:28:44,750
They got buried by the gravel and the rocks
and the mud and the sand, and it got pretty

1409
01:28:44,750 --> 01:28:45,980
heavy after a while.

1410
01:28:45,980 --> 01:28:51,770
And it squished them into oil. So the oil’s
down there today from the people and animals

1411
01:28:51,770 --> 01:28:57,160
that drowned in that Flood. Which means if
you stop to think about it, you drove over

1412
01:28:57,160 --> 01:29:00,400
here tonight on some of your ancestors.

1413
01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:06,930
Well, Noah’s uncles anyway. Next time you’re
at the gas station, pumping him in there,

1414
01:29:06,930 --> 01:29:07,890
you can say,

1415
01:29:07,890 --> 01:29:13,190
“Bye, Grandpa. You should have listened to
Noah; he told you it was going to rain!”

1416
01:29:13,190 --> 01:29:18,770
Hovind, “We know you teach the earth is only
6,000 years old. We would like to prove to

1417
01:29:18,770 --> 01:29:19,850
you, you’re wrong.”

1418
01:29:19,850 --> 01:29:22,980
“Would you come with us, please?” I said,
“Sure!”

1419
01:29:22,980 --> 01:29:27,650
They took me to this big freezer outside of
Denver, in Lakewood, Colorado.

1420
01:29:27,650 --> 01:29:32,920
It’s the National Ice Core Laboratory. It
is -36 degrees F (-38C) in there.

1421
01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:36,930
They put this big suit on me, big hat, big
gloves, big boots. I was freezing in five

1422
01:29:36,930 --> 01:29:38,219
seconds when I walked in there.

1423
01:29:38,219 --> 01:29:40,860
I have got Florida blood, you know? It is
real thin.

1424
01:29:40,860 --> 01:29:44,489
They said, “Hovind, we go to Greenland and
we drill holes through the ice.”

1425
01:29:44,489 --> 01:29:46,719
You know, a government job.

1426
01:29:46,719 --> 01:29:50,110
“And, we take this big pipe and we drill it
down, and we bring this ice core out of the

1427
01:29:50,110 --> 01:29:50,920
middle of the pipe.

1428
01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:54,980
And we save it in this big freezer here in
Lakewood, Colorado.

1429
01:29:54,980 --> 01:29:58,260
We have ten ice cores from stored in this
freezer.”

1430
01:29:58,260 --> 01:30:01,610
They took me over and showed me one of the
ice cores. They said, “You see these rings

1431
01:30:01,610 --> 01:30:03,750
on here, looks like tree rings - dark, light,
dark, light?”

1432
01:30:03,750 --> 01:30:05,270
I said, “Oh yeah, it’s real clear.”

1433
01:30:05,270 --> 01:30:10,489
They said, “Well what happens, in the summer,
the snow melts a little bit, and then it refreezes

1434
01:30:10,489 --> 01:30:11,699
and makes clear ice.”

1435
01:30:11,699 --> 01:30:15,489
(It shows up dark in the picture.)

1436
01:30:15,489 --> 01:30:19,500
In the winter, the snow just packs. It doesn’t
get a chance to melt.

1437
01:30:19,500 --> 01:30:21,310
And so it shows up as a white layer.

1438
01:30:21,310 --> 01:30:25,219
So these layers represent: summer, winter,
summer, winter, summer, winter, summer, winter.

1439
01:30:25,219 --> 01:30:30,420
And they said, Now, the deepest hole we’ve
ever drilled is 10,000 feet deep.

1440
01:30:30,420 --> 01:30:35,790
And we counted these ice rings. And there
were 135,000 of them.

1441
01:30:35,790 --> 01:30:39,680
And now you’re going around telling everybody
the earth is 6,000 years old.

1442
01:30:39,680 --> 01:30:44,390
We can prove it is at least 135,000 years
old.

1443
01:30:44,390 --> 01:30:47,330
I said, “Fellas, aren’t you assuming those
are annual rings?”

1444
01:30:47,330 --> 01:30:50,360
See, they didn’t know about the Lost Squadron,
apparently.

1445
01:30:50,360 --> 01:30:54,460
But, in World War II, some airplanes ran out
of gas and landed in Greenland. Has anybody

1446
01:30:54,460 --> 01:30:57,989
ever heard of the Lost Squadron? OK. It’s
been on TV a bunch of times.

1447
01:30:57,989 --> 01:31:02,510
Well, the airplanes got left there in 1942.

1448
01:31:02,510 --> 01:31:04,750
They went on and fought the war, and everyone
forgot about them.

1449
01:31:04,750 --> 01:31:09,320
Until a rich millionaire from Kentucky got
a brilliant idea. Go find those airplanes

1450
01:31:09,320 --> 01:31:10,750
and bring them home.

1451
01:31:10,750 --> 01:31:15,070
He went there looking for the airplanes. They
had to use ground-penetrating radar to penetrate

1452
01:31:15,070 --> 01:31:18,680
the ice, and they located the planes.

1453
01:31:18,680 --> 01:31:25,680
They melted this hole down to get to the P-38.
It was 263 feet below the surface. They melted

1454
01:31:25,830 --> 01:31:29,300
this hole down to get down to the plane, took
the plane apart, and brought the pieces back

1455
01:31:29,300 --> 01:31:31,160
through the hole.

1456
01:31:31,160 --> 01:31:34,900
And they put them back together in Middlesboro,
Kentucky. Not too far from here.

1457
01:31:34,900 --> 01:31:39,640
How far is Middlesboro from Knoxville, Kentucky?
Two hours, maybe?

1458
01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:45,620
That’s where their home base is, Middlesboro.
The planes were in the ice for 48 years. They

1459
01:31:45,620 --> 01:31:48,300
were 263 feet down. That’s 5 1/2 feet a year.

1460
01:31:48,300 --> 01:31:55,040
Now, the deepest hole they’ve ever drilled
is 10,000 feet. You divide that in half and

1461
01:31:55,040 --> 01:31:58,420
you get 1,800 years.

1462
01:31:58,420 --> 01:32:01,400
I know deeper layers get squished - called
glacial firn.

1463
01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:06,110
So really 4,000 years is plenty of time to
put all the ice at the north and south poles.

1464
01:32:06,110 --> 01:32:09,650
So, why isn’t there more ice at the north
and south poles?

1465
01:32:09,650 --> 01:32:15,600
I visited the museum and saw the guy who dug
out the airplane - his name is Bob Carden.

1466
01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:21,030
I said, “Bob, when you went down to get to
that airplane, did you melt through ice rings?”

1467
01:32:21,030 --> 01:32:23,969
He said, “Oh yeah, many hundreds of them.”

1468
01:32:23,969 --> 01:32:30,710
I said, “Now wait a minute. How can there
be hundreds of ice rings in 48 years? Shouldn’t

1469
01:32:30,710 --> 01:32:32,969
there be somewhere around 48?”

1470
01:32:32,969 --> 01:32:39,969
He said, “Who told you those are annual layers?”
He said, “That doesn’t represent summer, winter,

1471
01:32:41,860 --> 01:32:42,530
summer, winter.

1472
01:32:42,530 --> 01:32:45,590
It represents warm, cold, warm, cold, warm,
cold.”

1473
01:32:45,590 --> 01:32:50,230
You can get five of those in one week in Knoxville,
can’t you?

1474
01:32:50,230 --> 01:32:57,230
But here’s a guy still calling them annual
layers. Now either he is ignorant, or he is

1475
01:32:57,250 --> 01:32:57,670
lying.

1476
01:32:57,670 --> 01:33:00,949
I hope he is just ignorant because ignorance
can be fixed.

1477
01:33:00,949 --> 01:33:05,110
You see, stupid is forever, but ignorance
can be fixed. That is the difference by the

1478
01:33:05,110 --> 01:33:06,110
way.

1479
01:33:06,110 --> 01:33:10,610
A guy that works with the Eskimos said, “Brother
Hovind, I got 15 layers of snow on my car

1480
01:33:10,610 --> 01:33:12,870
in 8 hours.

1481
01:33:12,870 --> 01:33:16,930
Not 15 inches, 15 distinct layers of snow!”

1482
01:33:16,930 --> 01:33:21,430
Your kids are going to be taught that each
of the layers of the earth is a different

1483
01:33:21,430 --> 01:33:21,710
age.

1484
01:33:21,710 --> 01:33:25,210
They’ve got Cenozoic, Mesozoic, Paleozoic,
Archaeozoic.

1485
01:33:25,210 --> 01:33:28,170
Did you know the whole geologic column is
bologna?

1486
01:33:28,170 --> 01:33:31,920
It doesn’t exist. We cover that on video #4.

1487
01:33:31,920 --> 01:33:37,699
All over the world petrified trees are found
standing up connecting these rock layers.

1488
01:33:37,699 --> 01:33:42,250
A petrified tree connecting a bunch of layers
- there can’t be millions of years difference

1489
01:33:42,250 --> 01:33:44,110
in the age of the layers.

1490
01:33:44,110 --> 01:33:47,449
One is at Cookville, Tennessee- not far from
here.

1491
01:33:47,449 --> 01:33:51,400
The bottom is coalified; the center is petrified;
the top is coalified again.

1492
01:33:51,400 --> 01:33:54,090
The tree trunk runs through two coal seams.

1493
01:33:54,090 --> 01:33:58,750
We cover more of that in video #6 about coal
formation. Mount Saint Helens blew trees into

1494
01:33:58,750 --> 01:33:59,430
Spirit Lake.

1495
01:33:59,430 --> 01:34:02,160
They’re going to petrify very quickly - standing
up.

1496
01:34:02,160 --> 01:34:06,120
That’s the way they sank to the bottom. They
got water logged. Wood petrifies quickly.

1497
01:34:06,120 --> 01:34:07,890
Here is petrified firewood.

1498
01:34:07,890 --> 01:34:12,969
Here is a petrified fish giving birth. It
does not take millions of years to give birth.

1499
01:34:12,969 --> 01:34:16,370
Petrified cowboy boot with the cowboy’s leg
still in it.

1500
01:34:16,370 --> 01:34:19,699
The article’s on the table down here called
“The Limestone Cowboy.”

1501
01:34:19,699 --> 01:34:26,699
The Mississippi River is depositing sediments
at the rate of 80,000 tons every hour. 80,000

1502
01:34:29,480 --> 01:34:34,580
tons of mud comes down and dumps off round
New Orleans and that delta is growing larger

1503
01:34:34,580 --> 01:34:36,350
and larger.

1504
01:34:36,350 --> 01:34:39,770
They studied the delta pretty carefully, and
they say it probably took 30,000 years to

1505
01:34:39,770 --> 01:34:43,780
put all that mud out there in the delta.

1506
01:34:43,780 --> 01:34:45,989
Well then, I have a question.

1507
01:34:45,989 --> 01:34:49,710
If the earth is millions of years old, why
isn’t the whole Gulf of Mexico full of mud

1508
01:34:49,710 --> 01:34:50,699
by now?

1509
01:34:50,699 --> 01:34:56,000
They’ll say, “Hovind, it’s 30,000 years; that
proves the Bible is wrong. The Bible says

1510
01:34:56,000 --> 01:35:01,440
6,000.” I know, but I have a theory about
that.

1511
01:35:01,440 --> 01:35:08,440
I believe 6,000 years ago God made everything;
4,400 hundred years ago there was a Flood.

1512
01:35:08,500 --> 01:35:15,320
As the floodwater was running off, about half
of that mud washed out there in 20 minutes.

1513
01:35:15,320 --> 01:35:21,460
So it looks like it took 30,000 years to get
the mud out there. It took about 20 minutes

1514
01:35:21,460 --> 01:35:23,540
and then 4,400 years since then.

1515
01:35:23,540 --> 01:35:26,219
A friend of mine from Louisiana is a pastor
of a church.

1516
01:35:26,219 --> 01:35:30,860
He said, “Brother Hovind, I used to work in
the oil field drilling in the Gulf of Mexico-

1517
01:35:30,860 --> 01:35:32,320
drilling for oil.”

1518
01:35:32,320 --> 01:35:37,750
He said, “We drilled down through 14,000 feet
of mud and hit trees 60 feet tall standing

1519
01:35:37,750 --> 01:35:40,000
up.”

1520
01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:44,570
60-foot vertical trees under 14,000 feet of
mud.

1521
01:35:44,570 --> 01:35:45,710
More about that on video #6.

1522
01:35:45,710 --> 01:35:48,610
Here is a picture of the oldest tree on the
planet.

1523
01:35:48,610 --> 01:35:50,380
It’s called the Bristle cone pine.

1524
01:35:50,380 --> 01:35:52,890
We have a piece of Bristle cone in our museum
in Pensacola.

1525
01:35:52,890 --> 01:35:56,949
It’s only 30 inches in diameter and it’s 700
years old. You can count the rings with a

1526
01:35:56,949 --> 01:35:57,900
magnifying glass.

1527
01:35:57,900 --> 01:36:03,140
It grows real slow. Now tree-ring dating is
not an exact science.

1528
01:36:03,140 --> 01:36:07,230
Trees can produce two rings a year or three
rings a year.

1529
01:36:07,230 --> 01:36:10,830
And be very careful about tree-ring dating
with overlapping sequencing.

1530
01:36:10,830 --> 01:36:13,040
We cover more on that during video #7, Q & A
time, if you would like.

1531
01:36:13,040 --> 01:36:19,800
The oldest tree in the world, this textbook
says, is 4,300 years old, earth’s oldest organism.

1532
01:36:19,800 --> 01:36:26,120
That’s a pretty old tree. But I’ve got a question.

1533
01:36:26,120 --> 01:36:30,620
If the earth is millions of years old, why
don’t we have an older tree someplace?

1534
01:36:30,620 --> 01:36:37,620
Why would the oldest tree be 4,300 years old?
I have a theory about that. Here’s my theory.

1535
01:36:37,630 --> 01:36:43,630
I believe about 6,000 years ago God made everything;
4,400 years ago there was a Flood.

1536
01:36:43,630 --> 01:36:49,940
And so I predict the oldest tree ought to
be somewhere around 4,300 years old. It is!

1537
01:36:49,940 --> 01:36:51,000
Wow!

1538
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:55,190
Maybe that Bible is right! Maybe I ought to
read that thing and believe it.

1539
01:36:55,190 --> 01:36:58,630
Here is a picture of a coral reef. Did you
know that the largest reef in the world is

1540
01:36:58,630 --> 01:37:00,510
in Australia?

1541
01:37:00,510 --> 01:37:03,050
I had a call from a church in Brisbane one
time. They said, “Do you want to come preach

1542
01:37:03,050 --> 01:37:04,260
over here in Australia?”

1543
01:37:04,260 --> 01:37:10,910
I said I need to pray about this. (He said,
“Yes!”) I took my whole family over to Australia

1544
01:37:10,910 --> 01:37:10,910
with me.

1545
01:37:10,910 --> 01:37:15,640
My daughter and I got to go scuba diving at
the Great Barrier Reef. It was incredible!

1546
01:37:15,640 --> 01:37:20,910
Some of the reef was destroyed during World
War II by ships and anchors and bombs and

1547
01:37:20,910 --> 01:37:21,620
stuff like that.

1548
01:37:21,620 --> 01:37:25,640
So the environmentalists went out there to
see how fast it grows back.

1549
01:37:25,640 --> 01:37:32,640
They watched the reef grow for 20 years. (It
was a government project.)

1550
01:37:36,989 --> 01:37:41,770
After watching it grow for 20 years, they
said the reef is less than 4,200 years old.

1551
01:37:41,770 --> 01:37:47,030
OK. Well, than I have a question.

1552
01:37:47,030 --> 01:37:51,719
If the earth is millions of years old, why
don’t we have a bigger reef someplace?

1553
01:37:51,719 --> 01:37:58,640
Why on earth would the biggest reef be only
4,200 years old? I have a theory about that.

1554
01:37:58,640 --> 01:38:03,300
I bet you know what it is, don’t you? Can
you figure it out by now? Here’s a picture

1555
01:38:03,300 --> 01:38:04,750
of Niagara Falls.

1556
01:38:04,750 --> 01:38:08,760
The textbook says, “Boys and girls, the rocky
ledge above Niagara Falls has been eroding

1557
01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:10,340
for nearly 9,900 years.”

1558
01:38:10,340 --> 01:38:15,370
Now how do they know that? Well, the rocks
are breaking off the edge.

1559
01:38:15,370 --> 01:38:20,469
I mean, all waterfalls do that. They break
rocks off and the waterfall eats its way backwards.

1560
01:38:20,469 --> 01:38:22,980
Flows one direction; erodes the other direction.

1561
01:38:22,980 --> 01:38:27,650
Niagara Falls is moving back 4.7 feet a year.

1562
01:38:27,650 --> 01:38:31,469
Charles Lyell went there in 1841 and said,
“Well, Niagara Falls is here. Obviously, it

1563
01:38:31,469 --> 01:38:36,400
started up here at the cliff by Lewiston,
New York [moving back down the gully].”

1564
01:38:36,400 --> 01:38:41,239
He said, “10,000 years worth of erosion.”
The people that lived there said, “Charlie,

1565
01:38:41,239 --> 01:38:44,719
it erodes a whole lot faster than you think.

1566
01:38:44,719 --> 01:38:49,080
One good rainstorm and there is a whole lot
of erosion takes place.” He figured three

1567
01:38:49,080 --> 01:38:49,630
feet a year

1568
01:38:49,630 --> 01:38:53,140
(purposely to make the Bible look wrong).

1569
01:38:53,140 --> 01:38:55,630
He hated the Bible. We get into more about
him in video #4.

1570
01:38:55,630 --> 01:38:59,290
Today Niagara Falls is way back there, split
over that island.

1571
01:38:59,290 --> 01:39:04,640
There are actually two Niagara Falls: the
Canadian side and the American side.

1572
01:39:04,640 --> 01:39:07,880
It has eroded back quite a ways just since
Charles Lyles’ time.

1573
01:39:07,880 --> 01:39:14,880
The textbook says, “This gorge that the river
runs into is 7.5 miles long. A simple calculation

1574
01:39:14,880 --> 01:39:19,429
shows it’s been 9,900 years.” Oh, it’s not
that simple.

1575
01:39:19,429 --> 01:39:24,020
See Niagara Falls is right here. It started
up further north up by Lewiston.

1576
01:39:24,020 --> 01:39:29,420
If the earth is millions of years old, why
hasn’t it eroded back to Lake Erie by now?

1577
01:39:29,420 --> 01:39:36,420
Why is Niagara Falls right there? I have a
theory about that. Here is my theory.

1578
01:39:36,699 --> 01:39:42,620
You see about 6,000 years ago, God made everything;
and 4,400 years ago there was a Flood.

1579
01:39:42,620 --> 01:39:48,530
As the floodwater was running off, about half
of that creek washed out in 20 minutes.

1580
01:39:48,530 --> 01:39:51,530
So it looks like it took 9,900 years. They
forgot the Flood.

1581
01:39:51,530 --> 01:39:56,219
They also forgot to get the right number.
It should have been 8,400 had they used 4.7,

1582
01:39:56,219 --> 01:39:58,130
but what do you expect?

1583
01:39:58,130 --> 01:40:01,630
When it rains, 30% of the water runs into
the ocean,

1584
01:40:01,630 --> 01:40:06,190
bringing with it mineral salts. The oceans
are getting saltier every day.

1585
01:40:06,190 --> 01:40:12,540
Today the oceans are 3.6% salt. They could
have done that in less than 5,000 years.

1586
01:40:12,540 --> 01:40:15,570
Question: Why aren’t the oceans saltier?

1587
01:40:15,570 --> 01:40:22,570
Well, you see 6,000 years ago God made everything;
4,400 years ago there was a Flood.

1588
01:40:23,940 --> 01:40:29,010
Now since the Flood’s been over, the oceans
have gradually gotten saltier.

1589
01:40:29,010 --> 01:40:32,710
One atheist I debated said, “Hovind, can you
please tell me how the fresh-water fish survived

1590
01:40:32,710 --> 01:40:33,770
the Flood?”

1591
01:40:33,770 --> 01:40:40,140
I said, “Sir, aren’t you assuming the flood
was salt water.” He said, “The ocean is salt

1592
01:40:40,140 --> 01:40:43,410
water.” I said, “It is - today.

1593
01:40:43,410 --> 01:40:49,380
During the Flood it was probably mostly fresh
water and it has gradually gotten saltier.

1594
01:40:49,380 --> 01:40:53,130
And today some animals have had to adapt to
salt water.

1595
01:40:53,130 --> 01:40:56,890
And now we have fresh-water crocodiles, and
salt-water crocodiles, and they probably had

1596
01:40:56,890 --> 01:41:03,469
a common ancestor.

1597
01:41:03,469 --> 01:41:05,840
A crocodile.” He said, “That’s evolution.”
I said, “No, it’s not.”

1598
01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:11,160
“Going from a fresh-water croc to a salt-water
croc is a minor change compared to your evolution

1599
01:41:11,160 --> 01:41:16,920
story. You believe they changed from a rock
to a crocodile. Now, that’s a major change!”

1600
01:41:16,920 --> 01:41:22,750
A friend of mine in Alabama raises fish and
said he took a fresh-water fish, Black Mollies.

1601
01:41:22,750 --> 01:41:27,230
He slowly added salt to their aquarium. In
two weeks, they became salt-water fish.

1602
01:41:27,230 --> 01:41:32,070
When he put them back in fresh water, they
died in 30 minutes.

1603
01:41:32,070 --> 01:41:34,090
They can adapt to salt water, not a problem.

1604
01:41:34,090 --> 01:41:37,980
How many have ever gone into a cave and the
guide said, “Don’t touch the formations; they

1605
01:41:37,980 --> 01:41:41,239
take millions of years to form.” They’ve all
got the same speech, right?

1606
01:41:41,239 --> 01:41:47,250
What’s the one in Kentucky? Mammoth Cave?
Or go to Carlsbad Caverns, and they say it

1607
01:41:47,250 --> 01:41:48,780
took 250 million years.

1608
01:41:48,780 --> 01:41:52,260
They did a study on these stalactites. And
one guy said, “You know, the fastest they

1609
01:41:52,260 --> 01:41:57,590
can grow is 2.5 inches per thousand years.
That’s the maximum growth rate.” I don’t think

1610
01:41:57,590 --> 01:42:01,510
so. Here are some 50-inch stalactites growing
under the Lincoln Memorial.

1611
01:42:01,510 --> 01:42:07,360
They did that in 40 years. Here is a bat covered
up with flowstone before it could even rot.

1612
01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:12,429
Here are 2-inch stalactites growing off a
refrigeration shed in Pensacola, Florida.

1613
01:42:12,429 --> 01:42:16,699
Here is a guy in a building in Indiana built
just 40 years ago. It has huge cave formations

1614
01:42:16,699 --> 01:42:19,530
in the basement of the building from water
leaking through the limestone.

1615
01:42:19,530 --> 01:42:24,140
Here’s a mine that was shut down in Australia
for 55 years. When they opened it back up

1616
01:42:24,140 --> 01:42:27,590
to check it out, there were already huge cave
formations in 55 years.

1617
01:42:27,590 --> 01:42:34,120
Here is a pipe that was dripping for 7 years.
It made a 13-inch stalactite. I thought it

1618
01:42:34,120 --> 01:42:39,650
was 2.5 inches per thousand years. It’s more
like 2 inches per year.

1619
01:42:39,650 --> 01:42:43,850
They broke off the stalagmite that was under
it and gave it to me. It’s in my museum.

1620
01:42:43,850 --> 01:42:49,620
Here is a parking garage built in 1997 in
Texas. It was making stalagmites on the students’

1621
01:42:49,620 --> 01:42:51,120
cars parking under it.

1622
01:42:51,120 --> 01:42:54,040
They had to put up a drip pan to catch the
water.

1623
01:42:54,040 --> 01:42:59,179
A guy in Wyoming had a hot mineral spring
on his property in Thermopolis, Wyoming; so

1624
01:42:59,179 --> 01:43:00,969
he stuck a pipe in the ground.

1625
01:43:00,969 --> 01:43:05,050
The water came out the top of the pipe and
bubbled down the side of the top of the pipe.

1626
01:43:05,050 --> 01:43:08,020
They had a little fountain. They called it
the Tepee Fountain.

1627
01:43:08,020 --> 01:43:12,150
Well, the guy died. They left the pipe sticking
in the yard.

1628
01:43:12,150 --> 01:43:16,590
As the pipe was there, it left behind mineral
deposits as the water evaporated.

1629
01:43:16,590 --> 01:43:20,739
How many have seen these mineral deposits?
You get them on your sink up here.

1630
01:43:20,739 --> 01:43:26,179
The guy died, and about 95 years later, the
pipe was still stuck in the ground. I went

1631
01:43:26,179 --> 01:43:27,020
to see it.

1632
01:43:27,020 --> 01:43:34,020
Here it is, back in 1998. That would take
some Lime A-way to scrub that thing clean,

1633
01:43:34,320 --> 01:43:35,480
don’t you think?

1634
01:43:35,480 --> 01:43:41,360
Yes, a little bit. The guy down the street
started his later. It’s not quite as big.

1635
01:43:41,360 --> 01:43:48,340
You know, at the current rate of erosion,
the continents will erode flat in 14 million

1636
01:43:48,340 --> 01:43:49,350
years?

1637
01:43:49,350 --> 01:43:52,410
Why do they tell us that we’ve got fossils
that are 300 times older than that, still

1638
01:43:52,410 --> 01:43:53,190
above sea level?

1639
01:43:53,190 --> 01:43:55,190
They should have washed out to sea 300 times.

1640
01:43:55,190 --> 01:43:59,880
All you’ve got to do is fly out west and look
at the erosion patterns, and you will say,

1641
01:43:59,880 --> 01:44:02,290
“This place was destroyed by a flood.”

1642
01:44:02,290 --> 01:44:04,300
The whole world was destroyed by a Flood.

1643
01:44:04,300 --> 01:44:10,010
Just fly around like I do and look out the
window once in a while.

1644
01:44:10,010 --> 01:44:15,170
The oldest languages in the world are kind
of interesting. “Origin of Major Writing Systems”

1645
01:44:15,170 --> 01:44:19,210
from “National Geographic.” What do they say?

1646
01:44:19,210 --> 01:44:26,210
Well, they say that the oldest writing systems
in the world started about 3,000 BC - 5,000

1647
01:44:27,140 --> 01:44:27,780
years ago.

1648
01:44:27,780 --> 01:44:34,780
The oldest writing systems. And the oldest
languages are modern, sophisticated, and complete.

1649
01:44:35,370 --> 01:44:39,050
The Chinese said the year 2,000 was the year
4,700.

1650
01:44:39,050 --> 01:44:44,219
They think they started their calendar with
the Flood. They called Noah, Phu Hi.

1651
01:44:44,219 --> 01:44:50,489
The oldest recorded capital punishment was
3,800 years ago. The Hebrew calendar said

1652
01:44:50,489 --> 01:44:53,400
the year 2000 was 5760.

1653
01:44:53,400 --> 01:44:56,380
We know the Hebrew calendar was messed up
because a Rabbi purposely took some years

1654
01:44:56,380 --> 01:44:59,239
out, to make it not match the prophecy to
fit Jesus.

1655
01:44:59,239 --> 01:45:04,850
The Saxons had a genealogy going back to Adam.
The Danes and Norwegians had a king list going

1656
01:45:04,850 --> 01:45:07,449
back to Noah.

1657
01:45:07,449 --> 01:45:10,520
Don’t trust the Egyptian king list. It is
greatly exaggerated.

1658
01:45:10,520 --> 01:45:13,199
See the work by Courville on that, in “The
Evolution Cruncher.”

1659
01:45:13,199 --> 01:45:18,380
Why are the oldest reliable historical records
less than 6,000 years old?

1660
01:45:18,380 --> 01:45:25,100
Well, I have a theory about that. I bet you
know what it is, don’t you?

1661
01:45:25,100 --> 01:45:29,190
That Bible is absolutely right, folks. Absolutely
correct, scientifically.

1662
01:45:29,190 --> 01:45:35,790
The evidence for a young earth is overwhelming.
Students aren’t taught that.

1663
01:45:35,790 --> 01:45:40,449
Students are only shown the evidence for an
old earth. Remember the coins in the box?

1664
01:45:40,449 --> 01:45:44,630
They’d better deal with the youngest ones.
Not the oldest ones.

1665
01:45:44,630 --> 01:45:48,550
These books aren’t really science books anymore.
They are books about evolution.

1666
01:45:48,550 --> 01:45:51,440
I think it’s part of a much bigger picture,
for a New World Order.

1667
01:45:51,440 --> 01:45:55,699
You see, the guys that started this country
said, “We hold these truths to be self evident...

1668
01:45:55,699 --> 01:46:02,699
All men are created equal, they are endowed
by their Creator with certain unalienable

1669
01:46:05,830 --> 01:46:12,280
rights.”

1670
01:46:12,280 --> 01:46:19,280
But did you know that 75% of kids from Christian
homes who go to public schools will reject

1671
01:46:22,330 --> 01:46:24,699
the Christian faith after one year of college?

1672
01:46:24,699 --> 01:46:28,660
That’s what happened to Crawford Toy.

1673
01:46:28,660 --> 01:46:32,030
Most people have never heard of Crawford Toy,
but he was a very famous Southern Baptist

1674
01:46:32,030 --> 01:46:34,989
seminary professor.

1675
01:46:34,989 --> 01:46:40,179
He almost married a girl named Lottie Moon.
Has anybody ever heard of Lottie Moon?

1676
01:46:40,179 --> 01:46:43,679
You know, you guys have the Lottie Moon offering
every Christmas. She was a great missionary

1677
01:46:43,679 --> 01:46:44,670
to China.

1678
01:46:44,670 --> 01:46:50,070
Crawford Toy, after the Civil War, went to
Europe and learned about evolution.

1679
01:46:50,070 --> 01:46:54,719
He sucked it in, and believed it. He became
an evolutionist.

1680
01:46:54,719 --> 01:46:57,739
Crawford came back to his Bible class and
said, “You know, the Bible intends to teach

1681
01:46:57,739 --> 01:46:59,600
a plain six-day creation.

1682
01:46:59,600 --> 01:47:05,500
The Bible is simply in error at that point.”

1683
01:47:05,500 --> 01:47:08,510
The Bible is in error?! Now Crawford, hold
on!

1684
01:47:08,510 --> 01:47:14,610
Maybe your theory is in error and maybe you
got brainwashed. It’s very easy to get brainwashed.

1685
01:47:14,610 --> 01:47:20,080
I am going to try to brainwash the whole crowd,
and then we are going to quit and go home.

1686
01:47:20,080 --> 01:47:23,640
Tomorrow we’ll talk about the Garden of Eden.
What was that like? And why did they live

1687
01:47:23,640 --> 01:47:24,560
to be 900?

1688
01:47:24,560 --> 01:47:27,620
But first, I want to try to brainwash everybody.
Here’s what’s going to happen.

1689
01:47:27,620 --> 01:47:33,830
I am going to tell you a little story. As
I tell the story, I will brainwash you.

1690
01:47:33,830 --> 01:47:37,239
Maybe you’ve never been brainwashed before.
It’s a harmless procedure. Don’t worry about

1691
01:47:37,239 --> 01:47:37,969
it.

1692
01:47:37,969 --> 01:47:43,280
When I am done telling the story, I will ask
you two simple questions about the story.

1693
01:47:43,280 --> 01:47:47,090
If you know the answer, I just want you to
raise your hand.

1694
01:47:47,090 --> 01:47:51,699
If you don’t know the answer, it will be because
you have been successfully brainwashed.

1695
01:47:51,699 --> 01:47:58,699
Now pay attention: here goes the story. Once
upon a time, a man left home, jogging.

1696
01:47:59,530 --> 01:48:04,840
He jogged a little ways and turned left. He
jogged a little ways and turned left.

1697
01:48:04,840 --> 01:48:08,710
He jogged a little ways, turned left, and
jogged back home.

1698
01:48:08,710 --> 01:48:14,080
As he was jogging home, he noticed two masked
men waiting for him at home.

1699
01:48:14,080 --> 01:48:18,219
Who were the masked men? And why did he leave
home jogging?

1700
01:48:18,219 --> 01:48:22,449
If you know, raise your hand, but don’t say
it out loud. There are about five or six.

1701
01:48:22,449 --> 01:48:28,110
The rest of you, pay attention, we are going
to try it again.

1702
01:48:28,110 --> 01:48:32,710
Once upon a time, a man left home jogging.
He jogged a little ways and turned left.

1703
01:48:32,710 --> 01:48:37,850
I’ll give you a hint - that’s important. He
jogged a little ways and turned left.

1704
01:48:37,850 --> 01:48:41,719
He jogged a little ways, turned left, and
jogged back home.

1705
01:48:41,719 --> 01:48:45,570
As he was jogging home, he noticed two masked
men waiting for him at home.

1706
01:48:45,570 --> 01:48:50,469
Who were the masked men? And why did he leave
home jogging?

1707
01:48:50,469 --> 01:48:53,820
Anybody new figure it out? ...Two more.

1708
01:48:53,820 --> 01:48:58,820
The rest of you, pay attention. We are going
to try it one more time.

1709
01:48:58,820 --> 01:49:02,679
But now I am going to un-brainwash you.

1710
01:49:02,679 --> 01:49:08,130
See, you didn’t realize it, but I had you
brainwashed in the first three seconds.

1711
01:49:08,130 --> 01:49:13,170
I am going to un-brainwash all of you now,
just by showing you a couple of pictures.

1712
01:49:13,170 --> 01:49:17,310
I’ll tell the same story word for word, but
watch the pictures.

1713
01:49:17,310 --> 01:49:19,860
You will feel yourself get un-brainwashed.

1714
01:49:19,860 --> 01:49:24,370
It’s the coolest feeling. Are you ready? Here
goes.

1715
01:49:24,370 --> 01:49:31,310
Once upon a time, a man left home jogging.
He jogged a little ways and turned left.

1716
01:49:31,310 --> 01:49:35,850
He jogged a little ways and turned left. He
jogged a little ways, turned left, and jogged

1717
01:49:35,850 --> 01:49:37,260
back home.

1718
01:49:37,260 --> 01:49:42,510
As he was jogging home, he noticed two masked
men waiting for him at home.

1719
01:49:42,510 --> 01:49:46,620
Who were the masked men? The catcher and the
umpire!

1720
01:49:46,620 --> 01:49:53,260
You say, “Brother Hovind, is it that easy
to get brainwashed?” Oh yeah!

1721
01:49:53,260 --> 01:49:57,690
You see, as soon as I said, “A man left home...”

1722
01:49:57,690 --> 01:50:02,030
You started thinking about a house. And you
were off track.

1723
01:50:02,030 --> 01:50:05,750
And once you get off track, it’s pretty tough
to get back on.

1724
01:50:05,750 --> 01:50:09,810
Would you like to see how kids get brainwashed
in your school system by the millions every

1725
01:50:09,810 --> 01:50:11,560
year?

1726
01:50:11,560 --> 01:50:15,310
Millions of kids in America, every single
year, get brainwashed. And it’s so simple

1727
01:50:15,310 --> 01:50:16,489
how they do it.

1728
01:50:16,489 --> 01:50:20,580
They put the kid in kindergarten; he can’t
even read yet.

1729
01:50:20,580 --> 01:50:26,679
And they give him a book like this: “I Can
Read About Dinosaurs.”

1730
01:50:26,679 --> 01:50:31,330
Would anybody like to just take a wild guess
at what the first sentence in the book says?

1731
01:50:31,330 --> 01:50:35,100
“Millions of years ago....”

1732
01:50:35,100 --> 01:50:40,640
And that kid’s being thrown off track in the
first five seconds.

1733
01:50:40,640 --> 01:50:46,610
How many kids are being taught that in your
town? Like all of them. That’s calling Jesus

1734
01:50:46,610 --> 01:50:47,640
a liar.

1735
01:50:47,640 --> 01:50:52,870
Did dinosaurs live millions of years ago?
Dr. Seuss even says it, “Millions of years

1736
01:50:52,870 --> 01:50:54,710
before you were born.”

1737
01:50:54,710 --> 01:50:58,739
Jesus said the creation of Adam was the beginning.

1738
01:50:58,739 --> 01:51:03,750
Somebody’s wrong, folks! Now wait a minute,
the Bible says before the Flood came, they

1739
01:51:03,750 --> 01:51:06,040
lived to be 900 years old.

1740
01:51:06,040 --> 01:51:13,040
How is that possible? Oh, we’ll cover that
in seminar part #2 tomorrow. What about the

1741
01:51:13,480 --> 01:51:13,980
Flood?

1742
01:51:13,980 --> 01:51:18,280
Well, that’s covered in video #6. And what
about dinosaurs? Well, that’s covered on video

1743
01:51:18,280 --> 01:51:18,610
#3.

1744
01:51:18,610 --> 01:51:22,640
But listen, you are going to be told in school
you started like a slime and you slowly became

1745
01:51:22,640 --> 01:51:26,000
a human. You be careful, because that philosophy
will spoil you.

1746
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:31,460
Jesus said, “Beware lest any man spoil you
through philosophy and vain deceit, after

1747
01:51:31,460 --> 01:51:35,350
the tradition of men, after the rudiments
of the world, and not after Christ.”

1748
01:51:35,350 --> 01:51:39,590
Hey, if a child goes 12 to 16 years to school
in your town, how is he going to view the

1749
01:51:39,590 --> 01:51:42,060
world?

1750
01:51:42,060 --> 01:51:44,790
Probably as an evolutionist.

1751
01:51:44,790 --> 01:51:50,280
If the Bible is right about the beginning,
maybe it’s right about the end. Let’s summarize

1752
01:51:50,280 --> 01:51:51,580
here.

1753
01:51:51,580 --> 01:51:56,159
God made the world. He owns it. He makes the
rules. And we are all guilty of breaking His

1754
01:51:56,159 --> 01:51:57,640
rules.

1755
01:51:57,640 --> 01:51:59,420
Everyone of us. Let me show you. Here are
the Ten Commandments.

1756
01:51:59,420 --> 01:52:05,790
He told us, “Thou shall not bear false witness.”
(Don’t lie.) How many of you have ever told

1757
01:52:05,790 --> 01:52:09,100
a lie in your life?

1758
01:52:09,100 --> 01:52:12,640
Put your hand up, or you’re telling another
one if you don’t!

1759
01:52:12,640 --> 01:52:17,210
“Thou shalt not steal.” How many ever stole
something?

1760
01:52:17,210 --> 01:52:22,850
Come on, you already told me you are a liar.
Put your hand up. (Did your hand go up, there,

1761
01:52:22,850 --> 01:52:24,440
brother? Put it up.)

1762
01:52:24,440 --> 01:52:28,120
So far, we know we’re all a bunch of lying
thieves, right?

1763
01:52:28,120 --> 01:52:31,770
Do you want to read the whole list and see
how we are doing? We’d better stop right there.

1764
01:52:31,770 --> 01:52:35,310
There is no question, we are guilty. And we
are going to be punished.

1765
01:52:35,310 --> 01:52:39,090
God is a righteous judge. He cannot look upon
sin, and we are going to be punished.

1766
01:52:39,090 --> 01:52:44,199
Or, you need to find a substitute. That’s
where Jesus comes in.

1767
01:52:44,199 --> 01:52:46,190
He wants to pay for your sins.

1768
01:52:46,190 --> 01:52:49,679
Thirty-six years ago, I told him he could
pay for mine. I asked him to forgive me and

1769
01:52:49,679 --> 01:52:50,570
save me.

1770
01:52:50,570 --> 01:52:56,550
Hey, if you died today, where would you go?
Smoking or non-smoking?

1771
01:52:56,550 --> 01:53:01,850
Where are you going when you die?

1772
01:53:01,850 --> 01:53:08,780
You ought to think about that, because you
are going to be dead for a really long time.

1773
01:53:08,780 --> 01:53:13,090
All you get in this life is a little bitty
dash between two dates. I am going to die

1774
01:53:13,090 --> 01:53:13,600
someday.

1775
01:53:13,600 --> 01:53:19,409
I am going to try to make it the last thing
I do, but it’s going to happen. It could happen

1776
01:53:19,409 --> 01:53:20,550
today.

1777
01:53:20,550 --> 01:53:25,060
Have you seen the way they drive around Knoxville,
Tennessee?

1778
01:53:25,060 --> 01:53:26,969
You have got some certified rednecks out there,
folks.

1779
01:53:26,969 --> 01:53:32,310
And you could get killed on the way home tonight.
Where are you going when you die?

1780
01:53:32,310 --> 01:53:37,179
If you are not sure you are saved, why don’t
you ask the Lord to forgive you and save you.

1781
01:53:37,179 --> 01:53:41,140
And if you are saved, what on earth are you
doing for Heaven’s sake?

1782
01:53:41,140 --> 01:53:45,219
Everybody ought to find something to do for
the Lord. There is a war going on; find something

1783
01:53:45,219 --> 01:53:45,750
to do.

1784
01:53:45,750 --> 01:53:50,280
Get busy. Win souls. Be a Sunday school teacher,
bus driver; do something for God with your

1785
01:53:50,280 --> 01:53:50,530
life.

1786
01:53:50,420 --> 01:53:53,640
If we can help, that is what our materials
are for. There’s a catalog on the back table

1787
01:53:53,640 --> 01:53:54,130
back there.

1788
01:53:54,130 --> 01:53:57,390
as well as our videos. We want to help strengthen
your faith in God’s Word.

1789
01:53:57,390 --> 01:54:02,460
We hope you’ve enjoyed this series on creation,
evolution, and dinosaurs.

1790
01:54:02,460 --> 01:54:06,100
Much more important, though, than knowing
all the truths and facts about science,

1791
01:54:06,100 --> 01:54:08,260
is to know the truth about whether you’re
going to Heaven or not.

1792
01:54:08,260 --> 01:54:11,000
If you’ve never trusted Christ as your Savior,

1793
01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:13,890
Let me explain quickly what you need to do
to be able to go to Heaven.

1794
01:54:13,890 --> 01:54:17,370
The Bible says we’re all sinners. We’ve all
broken God’s laws.

1795
01:54:17,370 --> 01:54:22,350
We’ve disobeyed the Creator. We’ve done wicked
things; we’re sinners.

1796
01:54:22,350 --> 01:54:26,590
Some are worse than others, at least in man’s
eyes, but we’ve all broken God’s laws.

1797
01:54:26,590 --> 01:54:29,719
The Bible says you have to repent. The word
repent means “to turn.”

1798
01:54:29,719 --> 01:54:33,800
It actually means two things, “to turn from
your sin, and to turn to God.”

1799
01:54:33,800 --> 01:54:35,360
God’s looking for a change in your attitude.

1800
01:54:35,360 --> 01:54:39,820
You say, “Lord, I don’t want to do wrong anymore;
I’m sorry I have offended You. I want to do

1801
01:54:39,820 --> 01:54:40,320
right.”

1802
01:54:40,320 --> 01:54:42,900
And you turn from sin and you turn to God.

1803
01:54:42,900 --> 01:54:46,070
You say, “God, would you please forgive me,
would you save me?”

1804
01:54:46,070 --> 01:54:48,750
The Bible says in Romans 3:23,

1805
01:54:48,750 --> 01:54:54,159
“All have sinned and come short of the glory
of God.” You need to admit you’re a sinner.

1806
01:54:54,159 --> 01:54:58,290
Number two, the Bible says in Romans 6:23,
“The wages of sin is death.”

1807
01:54:58,290 --> 01:55:03,840
We deserve to die and go to hell because of
our sin, but Jesus died for you.

1808
01:55:03,840 --> 01:55:06,530
He loves you. He wants you come to Heaven.

1809
01:55:06,530 --> 01:55:10,949
Anybody that will ask Him for free salvation
God will give the gift of eternal life, it

1810
01:55:10,949 --> 01:55:12,429
says in Romans 6:23.

1811
01:55:12,429 --> 01:55:17,489
It’s a free gift. And it says in Romans 10:13,
“Whosoever shall call upon the name of the

1812
01:55:17,489 --> 01:55:19,590
Lord shall be saved.”

1813
01:55:19,590 --> 01:55:24,010
If you would just call and say, “Lord, I’m
a sinner. Please forgive me,” and ask Him,

1814
01:55:24,010 --> 01:55:26,510
He will give you that free gift of eternal
life.

1815
01:55:26,510 --> 01:55:29,840
Why don’t you just pray with me right now
and you could receive Christ as your Savior.

1816
01:55:29,840 --> 01:55:33,370
There are no magic words; God’s looking at
your heart, but if you could say this and

1817
01:55:33,370 --> 01:55:35,030
mean it, God would forgive you.

1818
01:55:35,030 --> 01:55:40,980
Just say, “Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I’m
a sinner. I’ve broken Your laws. I’m sorry.

1819
01:55:40,980 --> 01:55:42,620
Please forgive me.

1820
01:55:42,620 --> 01:55:48,600
Please apply Your blood to my account. Forgive
my sins and take me to Heaven. In Jesus’ name,

1821
01:55:48,600 --> 01:55:49,100
Amen.”

1822
01:55:49,100 --> 01:55:52,940
The Bible says if you call upon the Lord,
you shall be saved.

1823
01:55:52,940 --> 01:55:56,600
So if you’ve asked the Lord to save you, He
promised He’d save you. Now your job is to

1824
01:55:56,600 --> 01:55:57,170
grow.

1825
01:55:57,170 --> 01:56:00,770
Read your Bible, pray, get involved in a good
Bible-believing church, and begin to grow

1826
01:56:00,770 --> 01:56:02,030
to be a good Christian.

1827
01:56:02,030 --> 01:56:05,880
Thank you so much. Call or write if we can
be any help at all. We’d be glad to help.
