WEBVTT 00:00:03.060 --> 00:00:05.200 Have you ever thought about it? 00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:07.850 I mean really, what is the purpose to life? 00:00:07.850 --> 00:00:10.389 Why are we here? Where did we come from? 00:00:10.389 --> 00:00:14.740 For that matter, where are we going to go when this life is over? 00:00:14.740 --> 00:00:17.320 This seminar talks about the age of the earth. 00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:21.970 Dr. Hovind gives solid evidence to show that this earth is not billions of years old. 00:00:21.970 --> 00:00:25.140 In fact, the evidence points towards a literal six-day creation. 00:00:25.140 --> 00:00:27.539 Just like we’re told about in Genesis chapter one. 00:00:27.539 --> 00:00:31.529 Hi, my name is Eric, and we hope you enjoy this incredibly powerful seminar. 00:00:31.529 --> 00:00:36.860 It is presented by Dr. Hovind. It’s called “The Age of the Earth.” 00:00:36.860 --> 00:00:43.640 Well, it is an honor to be here tonight in Tennessee. My name is Kent Hovind. 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 00:00:48.140 --> 00:00:51.760 doing seminars on creation, evolution, and dinosaurs. 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 00:00:56.940 --> 00:00:58.070 Word of the Living God. 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. 00:01:03.440 --> 00:01:07.530 And for those who don’t know, the Bible is your Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. 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 00:01:10.259 --> 00:01:10.880 time. 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 00:01:15.670 --> 00:01:16.030 spot. 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 00:01:21.409 --> 00:01:23.780 man that asketh a reason of the hope that is in us.” 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 00:01:27.170 --> 00:01:29.219 this evolution theory. 00:01:29.219 --> 00:01:31.950 And we’ve tolerated this philosophy of evolution which is actually a religion. 00:01:31.950 --> 00:01:35.840 We have allowed this religion to take over our school system and our legal system. 00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:41.119 Our whole thinking process now is based on a philosophy which has zero scientific evidence. 00:01:41.119 --> 00:01:41.950 None! 00:01:41.950 --> 00:01:47.289 We’ve been offering $250,000 for anybody with any real scientific evidence for evolution. 00:01:47.289 --> 00:01:49.209 That offer has been out there for 12 years now. 00:01:49.209 --> 00:01:51.259 There is no real scientific evidence for it whatsoever. 00:01:51.259 --> 00:01:53.579 People believe in it, I understand; but that doesn’t make it science. 00:01:53.579 --> 00:01:56.149 Now, there are three things I try to accomplish in my seminar. 00:01:56.149 --> 00:01:58.569 Number one, I want to strengthen your faith in the Word of God. 00:01:58.569 --> 00:02:01.350 Number two, if you are not saved I want to try to get you converted. 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! 00:02:06.100 --> 00:02:06.810 All right? 00:02:06.810 --> 00:02:09.068 Number three, if you are saved and you are not doing much for the Lord, 00:02:09.068 --> 00:02:13.010 ... then I am going to try to make you uncomfortable. All right? 00:02:13.010 --> 00:02:14.810 You know where we are going now. 00:02:14.810 --> 00:02:21.580 OK, this is not my wife. That’s just a picture of her. 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 00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:28.299 spent since we got married. 00:02:28.299 --> 00:02:31.060 We have spent all of it. 00:02:31.060 --> 00:02:34.709 We live in Pensacola, Florida - or what’s left of it. 00:02:34.709 --> 00:02:36.700 Hurricane Ivan about blew it off the map. 00:02:36.700 --> 00:02:38.519 But we are having a good time rebuilding down there. 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, 00:02:43.150 --> 00:02:44.370 so I made it. Praise God. 00:02:44.370 --> 00:02:46.909 I am home free; it is wonderful. 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, 00:02:49.500 --> 00:02:51.310 and I have four grandkids so far. 00:02:51.310 --> 00:02:54.560 And for those that don’t understand this, grandkids are God’s reward for not killing 00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.189 your own kids when you thought about it. 00:02:57.189 --> 00:03:00.890 How many have already figured that out? That’s great, isn’t it? 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 00:03:04.049 --> 00:03:04.709 with their lives. 00:03:04.709 --> 00:03:06.200 That is worth something to somebody. 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 00:03:10.780 --> 00:03:12.299 your faith in God’s Word. 00:03:12.299 --> 00:03:13.799 We want to change people’s worldview. 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 00:03:19.030 --> 00:03:20.159 this world? 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 00:03:22.829 --> 00:03:23.340 that in a minute. 00:03:23.340 --> 00:03:27.030 But the way you view the world determines how you answer the four great questions of 00:03:27.030 --> 00:03:27.909 life. 00:03:27.909 --> 00:03:31.579 There are four fundamental questions that every single religion on planet earth tries 00:03:31.579 --> 00:03:32.060 to answer. 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? 00:03:37.810 --> 00:03:41.989 The way you answer those questions is totally determined by your worldview. 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 00:03:45.640 --> 00:03:49.840 from nothing.” That’s the humanist worldview, based on the evolution theory. 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.549 Other people look at the world and say, “You know, there is an incredible design - there 00:03:53.549 --> 00:03:59.230 must be a Designer!” That’s the creationist worldview, based on creation. 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 00:04:05.650 --> 00:04:06.890 them who they are. 00:04:06.890 --> 00:04:08.359 I’ve done a lot of debates, over 90. 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. 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 00:04:15.769 --> 00:04:16.339 would be honored. 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 00:04:20.130 --> 00:04:23.400 and they are wrong. It’s real simple. 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? 00:04:27.900 --> 00:04:30.960 Who am I, and what am I worth? 00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:34.750 Well, if evolution is true, you are nothing important. 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. 00:04:40.169 --> 00:04:42.669 Actually you are part of the problem. You see, because you are one of the polluters 00:04:42.669 --> 00:04:46.740 of the environment, and the more of you we can get rid of, the better. 00:04:46.740 --> 00:04:50.840 See, that’s normal thinking if evolution is true. 00:04:50.840 --> 00:04:52.190 Where did I come from? 00:04:52.190 --> 00:04:58.479 Well, if evolution is true, you came from a cosmic burp about 20 billion years ago. 00:04:58.479 --> 00:05:01.090 Why am I here? What’s the purpose of life? 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 00:05:05.220 --> 00:05:06.979 it feels good, do it. 00:05:06.979 --> 00:05:09.759 Where am I going when I die? 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 00:05:13.069 --> 00:05:15.240 into a worm, or a plant. 00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:20.020 But see, the Bible says: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” 00:05:20.020 --> 00:05:24.509 Now if that’s true, that puts a whole different set of answers to those questions. 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 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. 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 00:05:37.539 --> 00:05:38.919 be in trouble one of these days. 00:05:38.919 --> 00:05:41.800 We’ll get into more about that later. 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 00:05:45.490 --> 00:05:46.479 the Garden of Eden. 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?” 00:05:52.789 --> 00:05:58.389 He is trying to raise doubts about God’s Word. 00:05:58.389 --> 00:06:00.539 Satan always tries to raise doubts about God’s Word. 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. 00:06:07.870 --> 00:06:09.319 We cover more on that in video #7. 00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:13.410 The second thing he said to the woman was, “Ye shall not surely die.” 00:06:13.410 --> 00:06:16.080 He is calling God a liar, basically. 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. 00:06:18.830 --> 00:06:25.430 He said, Eve, if you eat off of that tree, ye shall be as gods. 00:06:25.430 --> 00:06:29.389 And right there is where the whole idea of evolution got started. 00:06:29.389 --> 00:06:32.930 It didn’t start with Charlie Darwin; it started with Satan in the Garden of Eden. 00:06:32.930 --> 00:06:35.310 He wants you to think you can become a god. 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 00:06:40.129 --> 00:06:42.000 and better and stronger and smarter... 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.860 ...and some day we are going to sail around the universe and discover new life-forms, 00:06:45.860 --> 00:06:48.430 like “Star Trek.” 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 00:06:50.979 --> 00:06:51.729 other planets?” 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 00:06:57.729 --> 00:07:02.139 planet!” I didn’t get to see a whole lot of it. 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 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:06.909 swallowed that. 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 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 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:16.389 eternally pregnant, producing spirit babies. 00:07:16.389 --> 00:07:21.419 My wife doesn’t want to go. She said, “That’s not heaven, honey.” 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. 00:07:24.919 --> 00:07:29.210 If you want to reach Mormons, you ought to study that one. 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 00:07:32.750 --> 00:07:35.909 of the past have taught that man can become god. 00:07:35.909 --> 00:07:38.099 It is still in their catechism right now. 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 00:07:41.050 --> 00:07:42.750 have taught that. 00:07:42.750 --> 00:07:48.150 But even Kenneth Copeland said, “Adam, in the Garden of Eden, was god manifest in the 00:07:48.150 --> 00:07:48.400 flesh.” 00:07:48.389 --> 00:07:51.680 He said, “You don’t have a god in you; you are one.” 00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.639 I am sorry, Kenneth, you are crazy about that, OK? 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:58.560 Kenneth Hagan said, “The believers are called Christ; that’s who we are, we are Christ.” 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. 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. 00:08:08.129 --> 00:08:10.180 Lucifer is the one who wants to be God. 00:08:10.180 --> 00:08:14.680 Lucifer said, “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of 00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:14.970 God: ...” 00:08:14.970 --> 00:08:18.310 “I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north, ...” 00:08:18.310 --> 00:08:23.159 “...I will ascend above the heights of the clouds: I will be like the most High.” 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. 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. 00:08:36.860 --> 00:08:40.679 Satan hates us, though, because we are made in God’s image. 00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:44.300 And boy, Eve fell for that hook, line, and sinker. “Wow, I get to be God!” 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 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. 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 00:08:57.390 --> 00:08:58.200 did to me. 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. 00:09:04.060 --> 00:09:08.529 When I was about six years old, I was raised in Peoria, Illinois. 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 00:09:11.690 --> 00:09:12.890 Yankees out there? 00:09:12.890 --> 00:09:17.610 Five, six, seven, OK. And how many Southerners do we have? 00:09:17.610 --> 00:09:18.660 Oh! 00:09:18.660 --> 00:09:25.410 Well, just remember who won, if you would. I know, ‘it ain’t over yet, right?’ 00:09:25.410 --> 00:09:27.589 But I was raised in East Peoria, Illinois, in the North. 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 00:09:30.380 --> 00:09:31.430 is going to rise again. 00:09:31.430 --> 00:09:36.470 But when I was about six years old, I came running in for breakfast one morning. 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 00:09:40.860 --> 00:09:42.010 on my cereal. 00:09:42.010 --> 00:09:45.480 Well, a few minutes later my two big brothers came in. 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:52.000 They said, “Hey, Kent, is that the last banana?” I said, “Yep, and I got it.” 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:55.430 How many of you have an older brother or sister? 00:09:55.430 --> 00:09:59.300 You know that wonderful feeling you get when you finally pull one over on them? 00:09:59.300 --> 00:10:01.800 Boy, that morning I had them, and I knew it. 00:10:01.800 --> 00:10:06.120 They wanted my banana. But big brothers do not beg little brothers for anything. 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 00:10:10.470 --> 00:10:11.639 them out of it somehow. 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:14.820 So my brothers said, “Hey, Kent, do you know how bananas are made?” 00:10:14.820 --> 00:10:16.769 I said, “No.” 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 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.540 even start to grow until kids are 18 to 20. 00:10:25.540 --> 00:10:30.760 How many parents can verify that from raising kids? I said “No, how are bananas made?” 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 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 00:10:38.380 --> 00:10:39.350 legs. 00:10:39.350 --> 00:10:41.850 And a banana is really nothing but moldy spider legs.” 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 00:10:47.230 --> 00:10:48.019 last one.” 00:10:48.019 --> 00:10:49.870 They said, “No brother, we are not lying. 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 00:10:53.040 --> 00:10:59.260 where his legs were.” 00:10:59.260 --> 00:11:03.860 I did not eat bananas for nearly three years after that. 00:11:03.860 --> 00:11:07.779 They lied to me. Have you ever been lied to before? 00:11:07.779 --> 00:11:10.750 I would not have believed the lie if it hadn’t been for those black spots. 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. 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 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. 00:11:23.810 --> 00:11:26.769 They are mixing two things together that really do not belong together. 00:11:26.769 --> 00:11:32.889 See, rat poison is 99.995% good food. That’s how you trick them. 00:11:32.889 --> 00:11:36.100 They’ve done the same thing for years to sell Marlboro cigarettes. 00:11:36.100 --> 00:11:39.170 They mix them in with cowboys. 00:11:39.170 --> 00:11:42.170 You can watch any Marlboro commercial; there is something about a cowboy in there. 00:11:42.170 --> 00:11:44.889 Have you stopped and thought about that? 00:11:44.889 --> 00:11:50.290 What is the connection between smoking Marlboro and cowboys? Do all cowboys smoke Marlboro? 00:11:50.290 --> 00:11:54.540 No. Do you have to smoke to be a cowboy? No. 00:11:54.540 --> 00:11:59.829 If you start smoking Marlboro, do you become a cowboy automatically? No. 00:11:59.829 --> 00:12:02.420 You may smell like a horse, but you are not a cowboy. OK? 00:12:02.420 --> 00:12:06.880 Actually it has been proven in laboratory tests that nobody in the world smokes. Nobody 00:12:06.880 --> 00:12:07.130 smokes! 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 00:12:11.990 --> 00:12:15.230 put the real names on those things. We ought to have some truth in advertising. 00:12:15.230 --> 00:12:18.639 They should really be calling them: Cancerettes, Breath Rotters, By-pass, Malignant, Phlegm 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:20.339 Balls, and Money Suckers. 00:12:20.339 --> 00:12:22.930 They do the same thing with beer. 00:12:22.930 --> 00:12:28.820 They try to associate beer with sports. What does beer have to do with sports? 00:12:28.820 --> 00:12:33.130 They get some big football player holding his can of Bud Dumber, or Bud Stupid. 00:12:33.130 --> 00:12:37.040 They call it “Budweiser”; it doesn’t make them any wiser though, that’s for sure. 00:12:37.040 --> 00:12:40.190 He’s got some Bud Dumber, or Miller Low Life, or Dead Dog, whatever it is. 00:12:40.190 --> 00:12:44.040 He says, man, you drink this stuff, and you will be a football player. Yeah, right! 00:12:44.040 --> 00:12:47.100 The Bible says if you drink that stuff, you will wreck your life. 00:12:47.100 --> 00:12:50.279 “Who hath woe? Who hath wounds without cause? 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. 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 00:13:00.779 --> 00:13:02.500 about not even touching that stuff. 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?” 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 00:13:08.980 --> 00:13:13.959 a drop in my life!” (Well, I’ve had Nyquil a couple of times.) 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?” 00:13:15.880 --> 00:13:19.149 I said, “Now son, that’s a brilliant way to live your life.” 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? 00:13:22.949 --> 00:13:27.740 Well, how do you know you won’t like it if you don’t try it? 00:13:27.740 --> 00:13:31.399 You don’t have to try everything to figure out if it’s good or bad. 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:35.079 There are other ways to learn - like watching somebody else do it. 00:13:35.079 --> 00:13:37.350 Wow, don’t do that; that will hurt. 00:13:37.350 --> 00:13:43.660 Like the redneck’s famous last words: “Hey you all, watch this!” 00:13:43.660 --> 00:13:46.310 I like science, folks; I collect science books. 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. 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! 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. 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 00:14:48.139 --> 00:14:50.910 one girl, come on. 00:14:50.910 --> 00:14:52.720 Way back there. OK, hurry up, run! 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.519 All right, the scientific way to shoot a rubber band. 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 00:15:01.899 --> 00:15:03.699 time. That’s amazing. 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. 00:15:07.100 --> 00:15:12.579 And how old are you going to be when you are almost twelve? “Eleven.” 00:15:12.579 --> 00:15:14.839 And how much does your mom pay you to be good? 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. 00:15:21.310 --> 00:15:22.459 OK, the brown one. And what’s your name, ma’am? “Laura.” 00:15:22.459 --> 00:15:25.850 Laura? Pick a rubber band out of there, Laura. 00:15:25.850 --> 00:15:27.870 You want the pink one of course; a girl one. OK. 00:15:27.870 --> 00:15:29.790 Here’s what I want you to do, Josh and Laura. 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. 00:15:34.910 --> 00:15:36.779 That one won’t work; that’s a double one. Here, let me try it. 00:15:36.779 --> 00:15:39.540 Try an orange one, here. That’s two tied together; I didn’t see that. 00:15:39.540 --> 00:15:45.870 OK, Josh, shoot the rubber band down the center isle. Past the table; not too far. 00:15:45.870 --> 00:15:51.839 Laura, give it a try; come on. Oh, three rows back. 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 00:15:54.699 --> 00:15:56.610 to show the scientific way to shoot a rubber band. 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 00:16:00.730 --> 00:16:04.370 at any time. 00:16:04.370 --> 00:16:06.639 You believe that? OK now, pay attention. 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 00:16:14.540 --> 00:16:15.009 there. 00:16:15.009 --> 00:16:20.459 Probably, right about now you are thinking of a question that has five words in it. 00:16:20.459 --> 00:16:24.230 What question are you thinking of? How do you do that? 00:16:24.230 --> 00:16:26.190 See, I told you it had five words in it, right? 00:16:26.190 --> 00:16:30.380 Now, before I show you how to do this, I want to explain something. 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 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:39.170 a menace to society. 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 00:16:42.880 --> 00:16:47.740 information? Ha, ha. Mom says no! 00:16:47.740 --> 00:16:51.410 And who’s responsible for this one here, where is... Nobody? 00:16:51.410 --> 00:16:56.430 Oh, back there. Did your husband come? No. 00:16:56.430 --> 00:17:01.610 OK now, pay attention- the scientific way to shoot a rubber band. 00:17:01.610 --> 00:17:06.089 There are two sides to a rubber band. Are you with me so far? 00:17:06.089 --> 00:17:10.890 One side represents your flesh, that’s your body. And the other side represents your spirit. 00:17:10.890 --> 00:17:15.220 Now your spirit has to live in your flesh, or else you are dead. 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 00:17:19.760 --> 00:17:21.349 the neighbors do.) 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 00:17:24.420 --> 00:17:27.040 same emphasis on the flesh and the spirit. 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, 00:17:32.780 --> 00:17:36.480 both sides are going 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 00:17:40.290 --> 00:17:41.900 fighting with each other. 00:17:41.900 --> 00:17:46.420 So, the secret to high-speed velocity through a fluid medium such as the atmosphere ... 00:17:46.420 --> 00:17:53.420 ... which offers resistance, is to minimize or eliminate the turbulence. OK? 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. 00:17:59.780 --> 00:18:05.960 One side is tight. 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, 00:18:12.710 --> 00:18:16.610 takes away most of the turbulence, and it goes much farther. 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, 00:18:22.630 --> 00:18:22.630 ... 00:18:22.630 --> 00:18:28.060 ... knowing I can hit anybody in the room, it gives you this feeling of power ... 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? 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 00:18:34.140 --> 00:18:41.140 hand; have a seat, guys. Thank you so much. 00:18:41.410 --> 00:18:45.160 The Bible says, “the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, the Spirit against the flesh; 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:46.650 they are contrary one to the other.” 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 00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:51.630 too much. 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. 00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:58.520 Tomorrow we are going to show you our super airplanes. 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, 00:19:03.300 --> 00:19:07.180 they go all the way to the ground. 00:19:07.180 --> 00:19:09.060 Our record with the paper airplane is 450 feet. 00:19:09.060 --> 00:19:14.440 We are going to put them completely over the building including the steeple, tomorrow. 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 00:19:18.840 --> 00:19:21.530 science, That’s all. Here is a first grade textbook. 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 00:19:26.010 --> 00:19:30.980 four and a half billion years ago. Now just hold on a minute. 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 00:19:36.570 --> 00:19:40.270 you tell that to a first grader, he’s going to believe you. 00:19:40.270 --> 00:19:44.400 First graders believe everything you tell them. They believe bananas are moldy spider 00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:45.740 legs. I did. 00:19:45.740 --> 00:19:48.830 And they tell them again in the second grade. 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: 00:19:54.890 --> 00:19:57.690 “Life too, has evolved on earth.” 00:19:57.690 --> 00:20:00.120 This word “evolved” is a very tricky word. 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 00:20:04.540 --> 00:20:08.030 learned how to win the debate on evolution in the first five minutes. 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?” 00:20:13.730 --> 00:20:15.350 “Well, you know, evolution.” 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 00:20:19.060 --> 00:20:23.470 about cosmic evolution- evolution of time, space, matter? I don’t believe in that, with 00:20:23.470 --> 00:20:25.640 the big bang. We’ll talk about that in a minute. 00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:29.630 Are we talking about chemical evolution? Because according to the big bang theory, the big 00:20:29.630 --> 00:20:32.700 bang produced hydrogen, and maybe some helium. 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 00:20:37.780 --> 00:20:38.560 from hydrogen? 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) 00:20:43.550 --> 00:20:44.060 very well. 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, 00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:51.260 and the elements have to make the stars. Which one came first? 00:20:51.260 --> 00:20:54.860 Which brings up, of course, stellar evolution. How did the stars form? 00:20:54.860 --> 00:20:58.200 Did you know that nobody has ever seen a star form? 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 00:21:02.630 --> 00:21:05.930 star formation (more about that in video #7). 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. 00:21:10.150 --> 00:21:13.400 That happens all the time. But we never see one form. 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, 00:21:17.370 --> 00:21:24.370 every single individual, can personally own 11 trillion stars to themselves. 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. 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 00:21:33.770 --> 00:21:35.320 from non-living material. 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. 00:21:40.470 --> 00:21:43.260 That’s where an animal changes to a different kind of animal. 00:21:43.260 --> 00:21:49.370 Did you know that nobody has ever seen a dog produce a non-dog? Never! 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 00:21:53.860 --> 00:21:57.100 it could be that the dog, the wolf, and the coyote had a common ancestor. 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 00:22:01.710 --> 00:22:04.670 the same kind of animal. I’ll show you. 00:22:04.670 --> 00:22:07.280 Is anybody in here five or six? Who is five or six years old? Anybody? 00:22:07.280 --> 00:22:14.280 OK. How old are you, buddy? Six? I want you to take a test. 00:22:17.300 --> 00:22:21.450 Here we have a dog, a wolf, a coyote, and a banana. 00:22:21.450 --> 00:22:24.720 Which one is different than the rest of them? 00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:29.660 The banana! Give him a hand! All right, very good! 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 00:22:34.270 --> 00:22:34.520 do. 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 00:22:36.800 --> 00:22:40.110 pick out any free video or DVD you want, OK? 00:22:40.110 --> 00:22:43.240 We’ve got a bunch of videos and DVDs about dinosaurs and stuff out there. 00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:49.040 The Bible says the animals are going to bring forth after their kind. Now Charlie Darwin 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 00:22:55.010 --> 00:22:59.140 wolf are the same kind of animal but different species. 00:22:59.140 --> 00:23:02.040 He fooled everybody by changing the word from “kind” to “species.” 00:23:02.040 --> 00:23:07.660 We’ll talk more about that in video #4. Lastly, we have what is called microevolution. 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. 00:23:12.080 --> 00:23:16.470 I think animals can produce a whole variety of offspring: long hair, short hair, long 00:23:16.470 --> 00:23:18.880 legged, short legged; that happens. 00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.120 But the first five are purely religious. That’s not science. 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 00:23:26.360 --> 00:23:28.990 exactly what you are talking about. 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 00:23:34.430 --> 00:23:35.290 about. It happens. 00:23:35.290 --> 00:23:40.110 But then they’ll imply that that is somehow, magically, evidence for the other five. And 00:23:40.110 --> 00:23:42.080 it is not. 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 00:23:45.230 --> 00:23:47.290 billions of years old. 00:23:47.290 --> 00:23:52.650 Make sure the kids believe this. You know, I happen to be a little old fashioned. 00:23:52.650 --> 00:23:54.810 I think in science class, we should be teaching science. 00:23:54.810 --> 00:24:00.450 Science includes things we can observe, study, test, and demonstrate. Things like the first 00:24:00.450 --> 00:24:02.800 law of thermodynamics. 00:24:02.800 --> 00:24:07.170 The first law of thermodynamics tells us, “Matter cannot be created or destroyed.” 00:24:07.170 --> 00:24:12.370 Well, everything is made out of matter; so if matter cannot be created or destroyed, 00:24:12.370 --> 00:24:14.390 then how did the world get here? 00:24:14.390 --> 00:24:18.700 We are here, you know. So that leaves only two choices. 00:24:18.700 --> 00:24:24.800 Somebody made the world; or the world made itself. There is no other choice. 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 00:24:28.700 --> 00:24:32.670 here at all; we just think we are here.” 00:24:32.670 --> 00:24:35.800 OK, you can forget about those folks. We are here. 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 00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:41.620 made itself, like the humanists believe. 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 00:24:47.220 --> 00:24:48.590 this happen? 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 00:24:52.360 --> 00:24:54.220 big bang theory. 00:24:54.220 --> 00:24:56.650 How many of you have ever heard of the big bang theory before? 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 00:25:00.590 --> 00:25:03.490 sit right next to a professor from Berkeley, U Cal Berkeley. 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 00:25:08.370 --> 00:25:10.680 is not a Bible college. 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 00:25:15.830 --> 00:25:18.700 about creation and evolution. 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. 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 00:25:26.710 --> 00:25:27.560 you teach at Berkeley.” 00:25:27.560 --> 00:25:31.330 I said, “Tell me, sir, if you believe in evolution, how did the world get here?” 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!” 00:25:37.370 --> 00:25:40.220 He said, “You are a science teacher and you have never heard of the big bang?” 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. 00:25:44.780 --> 00:25:47.140 But my big bang is a lot different than yours.” 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.” 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 00:25:54.870 --> 00:25:55.970 from the textbook. 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 00:26:03.540 --> 00:26:04.300 time) 00:26:04.300 --> 00:26:10.290 “...all the matter in the universe...” (that’s a lot of stuff) 00:26:10.290 --> 00:26:14.460 By the way, the word “universe” comes from two Latin words: “uni,” which means single, 00:26:14.460 --> 00:26:17.200 and “verse” which means a spoken sentence. 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. 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 00:26:27.590 --> 00:26:29.110 no preaching in him at all! 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 00:26:35.210 --> 00:26:42.210 may have been much smaller than a period on this page.” Say what? 00:26:44.050 --> 00:26:47.870 Everything in the universe squished into a dot smaller than a period on a page? 00:26:47.870 --> 00:26:53.110 Wow! That’s one crowded dot. And heavy, too. 00:26:53.110 --> 00:26:56.330 But that’s not the first time this happened, boys and girls. 00:26:56.330 --> 00:27:00.320 This textbook says: “Some day, after many billions of years, all the matter and energy 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 00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:06.780 sentence. Then another big bang will occur.” 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 00:27:14.490 --> 00:27:16.910 that? 00:27:16.910 --> 00:27:23.910 Where is Al Gore when you need him? That’s what I want to know, yeah! 00:27:24.010 --> 00:27:29.150 And why did you guys send Al Gore to Washington? You had him here, you know. 00:27:29.150 --> 00:27:33.420 Now, this textbook author was brilliant. I could not believe how smart this guy was. 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 00:27:40.210 --> 00:27:42.250 to write a book. 00:27:42.250 --> 00:27:46.130 He said, “Not only matter and energy would disappear, but also space and time. 00:27:46.130 --> 00:27:51.430 However, physicists theorize that from this state of nothingness, the universe began in 00:27:51.430 --> 00:27:53.700 a gigantic explosion.” What? 00:27:53.700 --> 00:28:00.700 Yes, boys and girls, you see, one day, nothing exploded... 00:28:01.670 --> 00:28:08.670 ...And here we are! We can spend three days talking about the big bang theory. 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 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 00:28:17.340 --> 00:28:17.650 miles.” 00:28:17.650 --> 00:28:22.510 They keep getting it smaller, and now they are saying “nothing” exploded. 00:28:22.510 --> 00:28:25.660 A couple years ago “Discover Magazine” here said, “Where did everything come from?” 00:28:25.660 --> 00:28:32.130 “Boys and girls, the universe burst into something from absolutely nothing - zero, nada. 00:28:32.130 --> 00:28:36.490 As it got bigger, it became filled with even more stuff that came from absolutely nowhere. 00:28:36.490 --> 00:28:38.370 How is that possible? Ask Alan Guth. 00:28:38.370 --> 00:28:43.340 His theory will explain everything.” Wow, I’ve got to meet this Alan Guth guy. 00:28:43.340 --> 00:28:47.750 Alan Guth said in “Scientific American,” “The observable universe could have evolved from 00:28:47.750 --> 00:28:53.340 an infinitesimal region.” (In the Hebrew, that’s “a dot.”) 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 00:28:56.770 --> 00:29:01.840 evolved from literally nothing.” You see, boys and girls, we all came from a dot and 00:29:01.840 --> 00:29:03.680 the dot came from nothing. 00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:08.040 And they call that science, and put it in a science journal? 00:29:08.040 --> 00:29:12.960 I think I’d call that a fairy tale and put it in the garbage. 00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:16.590 I said, “Professor, what happened to your dot?” 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 00:29:20.140 --> 00:29:21.600 this little, bitty, tiny dot. 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! 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.” 00:29:32.690 --> 00:29:33.970 Nothing but stardust. 00:29:33.970 --> 00:29:37.400 I said, “Sir, can I ask you a couple of questions, please?” 00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:39.600 He said, “Sure, what do you want to know?” 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. 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 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 00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:55.820 from?” You know, who made matter? He said, “We don’t know.” 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 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 00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:06.940 from?’ And I have no idea.” 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 00:30:11.470 --> 00:30:12.280 came from. 00:30:12.280 --> 00:30:16.960 So basically, I believe: “In the beginning, God”; and you believe: “In the beginning, 00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:18.250 dirt.” 00:30:18.250 --> 00:30:23.570 Don’t tell me my theory is religious, and your theory is scientific. No, no, no! 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 00:30:28.270 --> 00:30:29.890 religion. 00:30:29.890 --> 00:30:33.210 It’s not science versus religion; these are two religions. 00:30:33.210 --> 00:30:34.960 Evolution and creation are both religious. 00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:38.640 You have to believe in one or the other. 00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:42.610 The difference is the evolution religion is tax supported. 00:30:42.610 --> 00:30:44.600 That’s the difference - one of many differences. 00:30:44.600 --> 00:30:47.830 By the way, these two time lines are the same thing right here, behind me. 00:30:47.830 --> 00:30:51.590 On the top time line, every inch represents 150 years. 00:30:51.590 --> 00:30:57.500 Abe Lincoln was not even president one inch ago. 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... 00:31:01.590 --> 00:31:04.790 (...I have to have this chart on the bottom to be this scale...) 00:31:04.790 --> 00:31:09.110 ...This one would have to be 2,100 miles long. 00:31:09.110 --> 00:31:12.400 That’s from Pensacola to Portland, Oregon. 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. 00:31:15.740 --> 00:31:17.800 The professor said that he did not know where the matter came from. 00:31:17.800 --> 00:31:19.840 So I said, “Sir, can you tell me where the laws came from?” 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 00:31:25.690 --> 00:31:26.770 can eat that with potato salad). 00:31:26.770 --> 00:31:30.920 There are all kinds of laws in the universe. Where did the laws come from? 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? 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, 00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:41.480 “I do!” 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 00:31:46.710 --> 00:31:49.280 to run this machine? 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 00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:54.330 ask you another question?” 00:31:54.330 --> 00:31:58.210 He said, “Sure. What else would you like to know?” 00:31:58.210 --> 00:32:01.560 Else? What do you mean, what else? you haven’t told me anything yet. 00:32:01.560 --> 00:32:06.040 I said, “Sir, does Berkeley have a merry-go-round?” 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 00:32:08.760 --> 00:32:09.050 up. 00:32:09.050 --> 00:32:12.530 He said, “No, we don’t have a merry-go-round at Berkeley.” 00:32:12.530 --> 00:32:14.020 I said, “You really ought to get one. 00:32:14.020 --> 00:32:16.670 You could learn some good science on a merry-go-round.” 00:32:16.670 --> 00:32:20.100 If you put some fourth graders on there... Any fourth graders in here? 00:32:20.100 --> 00:32:22.300 Last year or next year fourth graders. I know it’s summertime here. 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 00:32:26.290 --> 00:32:26.820 grade. 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 00:32:32.470 --> 00:32:35.540 all knew what he was going to be when he finished high school - 32!) 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 00:32:41.150 --> 00:32:45.650 football team out there to get it spinning clockwise, as fast as it will possibly go. 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 00:32:51.750 --> 00:32:52.130 later. 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 00:32:56.390 --> 00:32:56.670 phases. 00:32:56.670 --> 00:32:59.670 They start off in phase one, where they’re screaming at the football players, “Come on, 00:32:59.670 --> 00:33:02.510 let’s go faster! Faster! Can’t you go any faster?” 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. 00:33:06.180 --> 00:33:10.310 They just quietly concentrate on trying to hang on for dear life. 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 00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:20.840 again, but now they are screaming, “Stop! Stop! Please slow down!” Don’t stop though; 00:33:20.840 --> 00:33:22.630 keep going faster and faster. 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 00:33:28.130 --> 00:33:33.190 the merry-go-round. Now when this happens, you will notice a very interesting phenomenon 00:33:33.190 --> 00:33:34.190 of physics. 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 00:33:40.670 --> 00:33:42.670 clockwise. 00:33:42.670 --> 00:33:46.920 Until he encounters resistance, like a tree or a pole. 00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:50.480 That’s because of a law in physics known as the conservation of angular momentum. 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 00:33:54.890 --> 00:34:00.810 same direction, because the outside is moving faster than the inside. 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, 00:34:03.840 --> 00:34:05.860 “Yes, I know about the conservation laws.” 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 00:34:09.770 --> 00:34:14.270 dot like you said, why do two planets spin backwards, and probably three?” 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 00:34:20.870 --> 00:34:22.918 known moons spin backwards? 00:34:22.918 --> 00:34:29.918 Why do Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune have moons going both directions at the same time? 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 00:34:38.168 --> 00:34:40.320 and helium? 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 00:34:43.370 --> 00:34:46.880 big bang, why are they all so different? 00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:48.370 Very different compositions! 00:34:48.370 --> 00:34:51.620 And why do some whole galaxies spin backwards?” 00:34:51.620 --> 00:34:54.668 CNN did an article, “Goofy galaxy spins in wrong direction.” 00:34:54.668 --> 00:35:00.980 I said, “Sir, why are these things going backwards?” 00:35:00.980 --> 00:35:02.710 He said, “I don’t know. 00:35:02.710 --> 00:35:06.500 Why do you think they are going backwards?” 00:35:06.500 --> 00:35:08.040 I was hoping he was going to ask that. 00:35:08.040 --> 00:35:09.720 I said, “Sir, it’s really simple. 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 00:35:13.090 --> 00:35:16.280 way on purpose, just to make the big bang theory look stupid.” 00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:23.280 Yes, amen. 00:35:24.110 --> 00:35:30.550 Now, I do believe in the big bang, because the Bible teaches the big bang. 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 00:35:35.470 --> 00:35:36.440 a big bang! 00:35:36.440 --> 00:35:40.940 So there is going to be a big bang. It just didn’t happen yet, OK? 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?” 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.” 00:35:47.610 --> 00:35:52.350 The big bang is coming soon to a city near you. 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, 00:35:55.840 --> 00:35:57.690 why did Jesus die on the cross? 00:35:57.690 --> 00:35:59.780 What’s the purpose of the death of Christ? 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 ... 00:36:03.790 --> 00:36:08.220 Restore it to what? More death and suffering? 00:36:08.220 --> 00:36:11.720 We cover more on that theistic evolution position in video #7. 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, 00:36:16.110 --> 00:36:19.790 then matter would be evenly distributed. But it’s not. 00:36:19.790 --> 00:36:24.620 Serious, serious problems with the big bang theory! Even Fred Hoyle said, “I have little 00:36:24.620 --> 00:36:27.980 hesitation in saying that a sickly pall hangs over the big bang theory.” 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 00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:36.770 an excellent book to give away to every kid in your high school. 00:36:36.770 --> 00:36:41.480 The second law of thermodynamics tells us, “Everything tends toward disorder.” 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 00:36:46.650 --> 00:36:47.450 down. 00:36:47.450 --> 00:36:51.270 Nothing gets better by itself. That’s what the Bible teaches. “The heavens are the works 00:36:51.270 --> 00:36:55.160 of thine hands: they shall perish;...they wax old as doth a garment.” 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. 00:36:59.340 --> 00:37:04.690 You’ll see exactly what I am talking about. Everything tends towards chaos, all right? 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 00:37:15.980 --> 00:37:18.790 chaos, folks, all right? 00:37:18.790 --> 00:37:22.740 All you have to do is nothing, and everything deteriorates, collapses, breaks down, wears 00:37:22.740 --> 00:37:23.000 out. 00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:26.740 That’s what the second law is all about. Everything is getting worse. 00:37:26.740 --> 00:37:31.770 Nothing is getting better. But the textbook says, “Humans probably evolved from bacteria 00:37:31.770 --> 00:37:35.110 more than 4 billion years ago.” 00:37:35.110 --> 00:37:38.940 Was your great-great-great-great-great-great-grandpa bacteria? 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 00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:46.470 the second law of thermodynamics? 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 00:37:50.130 --> 00:37:51.600 we overcome the law.” 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 00:37:55.540 --> 00:37:55.790 system. 00:37:55.750 --> 00:38:00.500 Number two: adding energy is destructive, unless there is a special mechanism to use 00:38:00.500 --> 00:38:01.820 and harness the energy. 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 00:38:06.640 --> 00:38:08.860 a thing for us, did they? 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. 00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:18.210 Didn’t organize any thing for them. Adding energy is destructive. 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. 00:38:22.170 --> 00:38:24.430 The sun’s energy will destroy the entire house. 00:38:24.430 --> 00:38:28.530 The sun’s energy will destroy the roof on your car. It will destroy your upholstery. 00:38:28.530 --> 00:38:30.740 The sun’s energy will destroy your paint job. 00:38:30.740 --> 00:38:36.550 There is only one thing that can actually use the sun’s energy: chlorophyll. 00:38:36.550 --> 00:38:39.260 And one little plant cell is more complex than a space shuttle. 00:38:39.260 --> 00:38:42.440 We cover more on that in video #4. 00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:46.720 Evolution violates the second law, and evolution is wrong, OK? 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 00:38:52.020 --> 00:38:57.110 of an early ancestor of modern human beings.” 00:38:57.110 --> 00:39:00.580 Was your great-great-great-great-great-great-grandpa a starfish? 00:39:00.580 --> 00:39:07.580 How about “Discover Magazine,” November 2004? Was your ancestor a sea sponge? This is your 00:39:10.160 --> 00:39:16.570 ancestor. Wow, who’s your Daddy? 00:39:16.570 --> 00:39:23.570 Now, please don’t laugh at this next picture, OK? 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 00:39:28.560 --> 00:39:32.010 his first cup of coffee, which apparently was a little too strong. 00:39:32.010 --> 00:39:34.280 By the way, I’ve got to warn these kids. 00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:40.560 Kids, listen carefully. Do not drink coffee! Because if you drink coffee when you are young, 00:39:40.560 --> 00:39:47.560 when you get married, your babies will be born naked and illiterate. 00:39:47.940 --> 00:39:53.640 And tea is worse. There was an Indian once, who drank four gallons of iced tea. 00:39:53.640 --> 00:39:59.610 That night, he drowned in his teepee. Be careful with that stuff; it’s deadly. 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! 00:40:06.140 --> 00:40:12.450 Notice what the textbook says, “30 million years ago...” Now kids, let me translate that 00:40:12.450 --> 00:40:13.430 for you. 00:40:13.430 --> 00:40:19.070 Anytime the textbook says, “million of years ago,” what it means is: long ago, and far 00:40:19.070 --> 00:40:20.020 away. 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 00:40:25.060 --> 00:40:25.610 up. 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 00:40:30.100 --> 00:40:30.650 that. 00:40:30.650 --> 00:40:37.650 It says, “they are ancestral to both humans and modern apes.” Ancestors to humans? 00:40:38.460 --> 00:40:45.460 Grandpa? “What big eyes you have, grandpa!” “All The better to see you with, my boy.” 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 00:40:52.130 --> 00:40:54.060 them act like animals. 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 00:40:59.240 --> 00:41:00.630 taught evolution. 00:41:00.630 --> 00:41:05.840 “Guess what, Johnny, you are an animal and share a common heritage with earthworms.” 00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:09.860 “Ha, ha, you mean I’m just an animal? OK.” 00:41:09.860 --> 00:41:15.970 Have you ever stopped and thought, that possibly what we are teaching the kids is affecting 00:41:15.970 --> 00:41:17.370 how they behave? 00:41:17.370 --> 00:41:23.560 What you believe determines how you behave. Kids are taught today that you are just an 00:41:23.560 --> 00:41:24.630 animal. 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 00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:34.970 says, “They that hate me love death!” Kids are taught today, “There are no absolutes.” 00:41:34.970 --> 00:41:39.750 I was in a debate one time, and this professor said, “Hovind, there are no absolutes!” 00:41:39.750 --> 00:41:45.550 I said, “Are you absolutely sure?” Blew his little brain! 00:41:45.550 --> 00:41:48.890 “Now, hold on a minute, how can I be absolutely sure, when there are no absolutes?” 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 00:41:52.140 --> 00:41:52.620 the second row. 00:41:52.620 --> 00:41:56.640 He said, “Hovind, I am an atheist. There is no God.” I said, “Are you sure?” 00:41:56.640 --> 00:42:00.100 He said, “I am sure.” I said, “Let me ask you a question, son.” 00:42:00.100 --> 00:42:03.930 I said, “Do you know everything?” He said, “Oh, no...no.” 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...” 00:42:10.790 --> 00:42:17.450 Well, let’s pretend for a few minutes that you know half of everything. 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 00:42:22.650 --> 00:42:27.180 new thought - rattled around in his brain for awhile and got lost, I’m sure! 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. 00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:35.100 How do you tell right from wrong?” 00:42:35.100 --> 00:42:37.000 Ask an atheist that question some time. 00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:40.180 How do you tell right from wrong? 00:42:40.180 --> 00:42:44.620 He said, “That’s easy ... I decide what’s right and wrong.” 00:42:44.620 --> 00:42:47.590 He said, “I am the god of my own universe.” 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.” 00:42:52.490 --> 00:42:54.370 He said, “You can’t do that.” 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 00:42:59.720 --> 00:43:02.790 for me to shoot you.” 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 00:43:07.050 --> 00:43:13.520 his own eyes” like the book of Judges says. Serious problems for society - big time! How 00:43:13.520 --> 00:43:14.780 do you tell right from wrong? 00:43:14.780 --> 00:43:19.750 A simple question to ask an evolutionist. They don’t have a way to tell. 00:43:19.750 --> 00:43:23.810 Maybe Osama bin Laden should decide right from wrong. Maybe Bill Clinton should decide 00:43:23.810 --> 00:43:24.600 right from wrong. 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! 00:43:31.430 --> 00:43:33.830 It’s real easy to tell right from wrong- 00:43:33.830 --> 00:43:39.370 “Thus saith the Lord.” Now you see, that is absolute. 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 00:43:43.490 --> 00:43:45.780 any marks upon you.” 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. 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, 00:43:57.450 --> 00:43:59.830 I’m sorry,” and not do it again. 00:43:59.830 --> 00:44:01.240 A lot of teachers don’t seem to understand. 00:44:01.240 --> 00:44:05.100 They just blindly follow the textbook and think that they have to teach this evolution 00:44:05.100 --> 00:44:05.560 theory. 00:44:05.560 --> 00:44:10.750 No, you don’t have to teach this evolution theory! Teachers can teach creation in public 00:44:10.750 --> 00:44:12.030 schools if they want. 00:44:12.030 --> 00:44:15.070 We’ve got a video tape called: “The Public School Presentation” which deals with all 00:44:15.070 --> 00:44:19.640 the laws about teaching creation in public schools. 00:44:19.640 --> 00:44:25.630 What happened was, Arkansas and Louisiana passed laws to require that creation be taught. 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.” 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 00:44:34.690 --> 00:44:35.550 part.” 00:44:35.550 --> 00:44:40.320 Even Stephen Gould said, “No statute exists in any state to bar instruction in ‘creation 00:44:40.320 --> 00:44:40.940 science.’” 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 00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:46.570 Court decision. 00:44:46.390 --> 00:44:53.390 The ACLU, “the American Communist Lawyers’ Union,” have tried really hard to spread the 00:44:53.580 --> 00:44:57.110 propaganda around that you cannot talk about creation in the public schools. And that’s 00:44:57.110 --> 00:44:58.890 just simply not true. 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 00:45:02.400 --> 00:45:05.040 a law against that, OK? 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 00:45:08.510 --> 00:45:12.540 like a slime, and you slowly evolved to a human.” 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 00:45:16.520 --> 00:45:18.550 in the Bible. 00:45:18.550 --> 00:45:22.870 And anybody that destroys a child’s faith, better read what Jesus said about that. 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 00:45:26.540 --> 00:45:29.240 for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck... 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 00:45:33.200 --> 00:45:37.170 trouble when they stand before God. The Bible says, “Be not many masters, knowing that we 00:45:37.170 --> 00:45:40.300 shall receive the greater condemnation.” 00:45:40.300 --> 00:45:45.550 It’s interesting, though, what happened. Back in the 1950s, the average textbook in America 00:45:45.550 --> 00:45:49.010 had very little evolution - two or three thousand words was all. 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. 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 00:45:59.320 --> 00:46:00.880 winning the space race? 00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:05.280 They had articles in “Life Magazine” like, “How You can Survive Fallout.” 00:46:05.280 --> 00:46:10.750 They said, “The Soviets are ahead of us in science, because the Soviets teach evolution. 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. 00:46:15.540 --> 00:46:19.160 People were building them in their back yards to survive nuclear fallout. 00:46:19.160 --> 00:46:24.640 Wait a minute; the Soviets are ahead in science because they teach evolution? 00:46:24.640 --> 00:46:28.000 What does evolution have to do with putting up a satellite? 00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:34.480 Then, in 1959 it was the hundred-year anniversary of Darwin’s book coming out. 00:46:34.480 --> 00:46:40.360 And in 1959, Eisenhower asked congress for a billion dollars to push more evolution into 00:46:40.360 --> 00:46:41.300 the school system. 00:46:41.300 --> 00:46:43.400 And he got it. 00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:49.410 American textbooks were rewritten in the late 50s and early 60s to include more evolution. 00:46:49.410 --> 00:46:54.890 They called it “the cold war reconstruction of American science education.” 00:46:54.890 --> 00:47:00.190 Our whole science curriculum and other curriculums were rewritten to make sure evolution was 00:47:00.190 --> 00:47:01.720 taught. 00:47:01.720 --> 00:47:07.420 And by 1963 the average textbook had 33,000 words about evolution. 00:47:07.420 --> 00:47:12.370 By 1963, prayer was taken out of our school system. 00:47:12.370 --> 00:47:14.180 Anybody remember that? Madeline Murray O’Hare? 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 00:47:20.840 --> 00:47:25.200 great rise in sexually transmitted diseases for ten- to fourteen-year-olds. 00:47:25.200 --> 00:47:32.200 We saw a great rise in unwed birth rates - a 550% increase in pregnancies. 00:47:33.220 --> 00:47:35.520 The difference is being aborted. 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 00:47:38.960 --> 00:47:41.190 married. One third of them. 00:47:41.190 --> 00:47:47.680 Illegitimate children. Now listen carefully. If you are one of those, this is for you. 00:47:47.680 --> 00:47:50.420 Timothy was a “half-breed” that never should have been born. 00:47:50.420 --> 00:47:54.490 Timothy’s mommy was Jewish, his daddy was Greek. The Jews weren’t supposed to marry 00:47:54.490 --> 00:47:55.910 anybody but Jews. 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 00:48:00.500 --> 00:48:03.310 take you, son.” He wrote two books in the Bible. 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 00:48:07.460 --> 00:48:08.270 your life, OK? 00:48:08.270 --> 00:48:11.550 There are no excuses. God will use anybody, OK? 00:48:11.550 --> 00:48:17.960 The number of unmarried couples living together has increased radically since 1963. God’s 00:48:17.960 --> 00:48:20.910 Word hasn’t changed. He said, “Thou shalt not commit adultery.” 00:48:20.910 --> 00:48:26.080 He said, “Whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” Jesus said, “If you even look 00:48:26.080 --> 00:48:29.730 and lust, you have committed adultery already in your heart.” 00:48:29.730 --> 00:48:33.810 By the way, ladies, that’s why it’s important how you dress. 00:48:33.810 --> 00:48:38.810 My daddy always said, “If you’re not in business, don’t advertise.” 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 00:48:47.300 --> 00:48:51.369 up 6,000% . Violent crimes are up nearly 1000%. 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. 00:48:57.190 --> 00:48:59.630 Anybody remember those days? 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 00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:03.180 you might lose them. 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 00:49:07.130 --> 00:49:10.400 lot had a loaded rifle hanging in the back window. 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, 00:49:14.750 --> 00:49:19.020 but the kids at Columbine High School that shot everybody were very strong believers 00:49:19.020 --> 00:49:20.910 in evolution. 00:49:20.910 --> 00:49:23.960 They did the shooting on Hitler’s birthday, on purpose. 00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:27.900 They shot Isaiah Shoels just because he was black. 00:49:27.900 --> 00:49:32.110 Hitler hated black people; so did they. This was evolution-motivated shooting. 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 00:49:37.510 --> 00:49:38.670 more gun control.” 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 00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:48.220 laws would have slowed them down. 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 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 00:49:57.950 --> 00:50:00.670 this!” This explains everything. 00:50:00.670 --> 00:50:07.670 He said, “Blaming guns for Columbine is like blaming spoons for Rosie O’Donnell being fat.” 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 00:50:17.300 --> 00:50:21.200 gun - that’s brilliant! SAT scores have plummeted since 1963. 00:50:21.200 --> 00:50:24.610 Twice in the last forty years they have dumbed down the test. 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. 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 00:50:36.340 --> 00:50:36.660 say? 00:50:36.660 --> 00:50:40.230 You would say, “No, frogs don’t turn into princes.” 00:50:40.230 --> 00:50:42.770 How many of you ladies got your husband by kissing a frog? 00:50:42.770 --> 00:50:46.730 Come on, let’s see. Looks like only about three. 00:50:46.730 --> 00:50:50.119 See, it doesn’t happen very often; but in the textbooks it does. 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. 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 00:51:04.550 --> 00:51:05.710 a fairy tale. 00:51:05.710 --> 00:51:11.400 But if the frog turns into a prince slowly, now then, that’s modern science. 00:51:11.400 --> 00:51:17.720 No, I’m sorry, that’s still a fairy tale - even more of a fairy tale. 00:51:17.720 --> 00:51:20.490 The difference is not a kiss. That won’t do it anymore. 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 00:51:23.100 --> 00:51:30.100 a super, special, high-powered, magic ingredient called billions and billions of years. 00:51:31.619 --> 00:51:32.869 How many of you have ever heard that before? 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; 00:51:37.560 --> 00:51:40.080 it’s in “National Geographic.” 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. 00:51:44.700 --> 00:51:49.170 Here is a fourth grade textbook. It says, “Many millions of years ago...” 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, 00:51:54.910 --> 00:51:56.940 “No, of course I wasn’t there.” 00:51:56.940 --> 00:52:00.310 Then I’ll say, “Now do you know the earth is millions of years old? 00:52:00.310 --> 00:52:03.420 Is this really a part of science? Is this something we can observe, study, test, and 00:52:03.420 --> 00:52:04.119 demonstrate?” 00:52:04.119 --> 00:52:10.110 They’ll say, “No, but everybody believes the earth is millions of years old.” No, they 00:52:10.110 --> 00:52:10.930 don’t. 00:52:10.930 --> 00:52:16.530 Most Americans believe the earth is less than 10,000 years old and God made it. 00:52:16.530 --> 00:52:22.960 Less than 15% are evolutionists and atheists in the surveys that they take. Majority of 00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:26.630 Americans do not believe the earth is millions of years old. 00:52:26.630 --> 00:52:30.290 Now it’s true that slightly more than half the scientists believe in evolution. That’s 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 00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:36.110 believe is not true. 00:52:36.110 --> 00:52:39.760 See, just because a bunch of scientists believe something doesn’t mean anything. 00:52:39.760 --> 00:52:43.690 There was a time when scientists taught that the planets go around the earth. 00:52:43.690 --> 00:52:47.010 The scientists used to teach that a big rock will fall faster than a little rock. 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 00:52:51.050 --> 00:52:53.100 you will get better. 00:52:53.100 --> 00:52:56.510 There were special places all over America to get your blood taken out. 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 00:52:59.300 --> 00:53:00.560 it. 00:53:00.560 --> 00:53:04.619 The barber was the blood letter. And right beside George Washington, ... 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 00:53:07.560 --> 00:53:09.340 the flesh is in the blood:” 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 00:53:15.600 --> 00:53:16.310 lived longer, anyway. 00:53:16.310 --> 00:53:19.790 But listen, if you went scuba diving and found a treasure chest full of gold coins. 00:53:19.790 --> 00:53:23.420 And I asked you the simple question, “When did the boat sink?” 00:53:23.420 --> 00:53:29.369 You say, “I don’t know.” Well, look at the dates on the coins. 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 00:53:34.340 --> 00:53:38.560 sank after 1750. 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 00:53:43.280 --> 00:53:43.820 it? 00:53:43.820 --> 00:53:46.720 You don’t poke around in the box and find the oldest coin. 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 00:53:52.010 --> 00:53:52.500 sunk. 00:53:52.500 --> 00:53:54.310 That’s called the limiting factor. 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? 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 00:54:02.040 --> 00:54:04.820 ones we’ve got to worry about. 00:54:04.820 --> 00:54:09.750 If you find a dinosaur bone, you should notice two things about it immediately. 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. 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, 00:54:23.450 --> 00:54:23.720 OK? 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? 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. 00:54:32.740 --> 00:54:37.110 The textbooks say it’s billions. Somebody is wrong. 00:54:37.110 --> 00:54:41.130 There is a difference between 6,000 and 20 billion. 00:54:41.130 --> 00:54:44.210 Congress doesn’t seem to understand the difference, but there is a difference, OK? 00:54:44.210 --> 00:54:45.630 We’ll talk about that in the next session. 00:54:45.630 --> 00:54:49.130 How do you show that the earth is not billions of years old? 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 00:54:52.750 --> 00:54:53.790 questions. 00:54:53.790 --> 00:54:56.690 What about the dinosaurs? What about carbon dating? 00:54:56.690 --> 00:54:59.630 How did the light from the stars get here? What about Grand Canyon? 00:54:59.630 --> 00:55:02.810 Didn’t it take million of years to form? What about the geologic column? 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 00:55:07.510 --> 00:55:09.359 as I can go, but we cover all that. 00:55:09.359 --> 00:55:11.600 We’ll cover some more of that in just a minute. 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.” 00:55:22.760 --> 00:55:24.560 When was the beginning? 00:55:24.560 --> 00:55:29.780 The Bible says that Jesus created all things in heaven and earth. 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 00:55:35.180 --> 00:55:35.430 earth? 00:55:35.340 --> 00:55:36.190 Well, they are both fine. 00:55:36.190 --> 00:55:40.920 Jesus is God Almighty in the flesh in spite of what “Jehovah’s false witnesses” teach, 00:55:40.920 --> 00:55:41.760 OK? 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 00:55:47.900 --> 00:55:49.920 them male and female.” 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. 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.” 00:56:01.440 --> 00:56:05.609 The Bible says death came into the world because of man’s sin. 00:56:05.609 --> 00:56:07.790 Nothing died until Adam sinned. 00:56:07.790 --> 00:56:11.420 By man came death. The Bible is real clear on the topic. 00:56:11.420 --> 00:56:16.510 Adam was the first man and Eve was the mother of all living. 00:56:16.510 --> 00:56:20.310 Well, that makes it pretty easy then; we just add up the dates. 00:56:20.310 --> 00:56:23.480 The Bibles says Adam was 130 when Seth was born. 00:56:23.480 --> 00:56:26.230 Seth was 105 when Enos was born. 00:56:26.230 --> 00:56:28.890 Enos was 90 when Cainan was born. 00:56:28.890 --> 00:56:32.869 You go through the Bible; you add up the dates; it’s not hard to do. 00:56:32.869 --> 00:56:34.880 You can make a chart like this pretty easily. 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 00:56:39.040 --> 00:56:40.580 laminated like this one. 00:56:40.580 --> 00:56:43.800 You might want them for placemats when your skeptic friends come over for lunch. 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 00:56:49.540 --> 00:56:51.660 placemats. And the kids can read that instead of the cereal box. 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 00:56:57.150 --> 00:56:58.619 creation. 00:56:58.619 --> 00:57:02.020 Not millions of years ago, but 4000 BC. 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. 00:57:04.530 --> 00:57:06.530 I don’t say that it was 4004 BC, 00:57:06.530 --> 00:57:08.250 October 23rd at two in the afternoon. 00:57:08.250 --> 00:57:10.600 I don’t think you can get that close from Scripture. 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 00:57:16.100 --> 00:57:16.859 I found. 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. 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. 00:57:27.890 --> 00:57:31.359 How many would agree with that one? 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 00:57:36.880 --> 00:57:41.390 BCE- before the common era. 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 00:57:46.190 --> 00:57:48.930 said the creation of Adam was the beginning. 00:57:48.930 --> 00:57:55.930 Well, was He lying? Did He not understand science? Or was He right? 00:57:56.119 --> 00:57:59.619 How old is the earth? When was the beginning? 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? 00:58:05.430 --> 00:58:09.190 Could that date of 4000 BC be correct? 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 00:58:12.680 --> 00:58:13.609 always some atheist that calls in. 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?” 00:58:19.280 --> 00:58:21.130 Good question and a fair question. 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 00:58:25.390 --> 00:58:27.150 ones that have a serious problem. 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, 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 00:58:34.130 --> 00:58:35.300 found her there. 00:58:35.300 --> 00:58:39.250 But who was his wife and who did Seth marry anyway? 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. 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 00:58:47.810 --> 00:58:49.640 and made everything. 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. 00:58:55.050 --> 00:58:58.020 “The earth began as a hot ball of rock.” 00:58:58.020 --> 00:59:02.670 And then millions of years of torrential rains created great oceans, and swirling in the 00:59:02.670 --> 00:59:05.660 waters of the oceans is a bubbling broth of complex chemicals. 00:59:05.660 --> 00:59:11.220 “Progress from a complex chemical soup to a living organism is very slow.” 00:59:11.220 --> 00:59:14.690 It sure is; it doesn’t even happen; that’s how slow it is! 00:59:14.690 --> 00:59:19.540 This guy said, “The first self-replicating systems must have emerged in this organic 00:59:19.540 --> 00:59:20.580 soup.” 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 00:59:25.609 --> 00:59:26.890 billion years ago the earth cooled down. 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 00:59:30.500 --> 00:59:33.280 3 billion years ago. 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 00:59:38.680 --> 00:59:42.830 to eat, of course, and slowly evolved into everything we see today. 00:59:42.830 --> 00:59:44.250 That’s the big bang theory. 00:59:44.250 --> 00:59:48.850 So great-great-great-great-grandpa was soup. 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 00:59:53.350 --> 00:59:56.600 college, if our professors can ask you any questions they want. 00:59:56.600 --> 01:00:01.359 We would like to show the students how dumb you Christians really are.” 01:00:01.359 --> 01:00:02.750 I said, “I would be honored to come for that.” 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, 01:00:07.070 --> 01:00:08.730 I felt like Daniel in the lion’s den! 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 01:00:15.510 --> 01:00:19.490 everything. Then 4,400 years ago, God sent a Flood which destroyed everything.” 01:00:19.490 --> 01:00:24.470 “Noah saved two of each kind - not species - kind of animal life on the ark.” 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. 01:00:27.140 --> 01:00:28.960 Twenty billion years ago there was a big bang. 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 01:00:32.130 --> 01:00:34.960 of years, turned them into soup and the soup came alive. 01:00:34.960 --> 01:00:35.890 One professor was really upset. 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?” 01:00:38.980 --> 01:00:41.960 I said, “Oh yeah, there’s a bunch.” 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 01:00:45.410 --> 01:00:46.160 Noah’s ark? 01:00:46.160 --> 01:00:48.180 Do you expect me to believe that?” 01:00:48.180 --> 01:00:53.190 I said, “Sir, would you look at what you are teaching your students? 01:00:53.190 --> 01:01:00.190 You’re teaching your students that all those dogs came from a rock.” 01:01:00.480 --> 01:01:02.280 He didn’t have any more questions after that. 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 01:01:07.530 --> 01:01:12.950 800 years and begat sons and daughters. 01:01:12.950 --> 01:01:17.390 How many kids could you have in 800 years? Several, right? 01:01:17.390 --> 01:01:22.869 A friend of mine in Arkansas had 15 kids in 15 years. 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. 01:01:32.350 --> 01:01:37.000 So who did Adam’s sons marry? Well, they married sisters. 01:01:37.000 --> 01:01:37.980 You say, “Married their sisters?!” 01:01:37.980 --> 01:01:40.440 Well calm down; first of all, there’s no other choice, OK? 01:01:40.440 --> 01:01:47.180 Secondly, who are you going to report them to? Think about it. 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. 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 01:01:56.700 --> 01:01:58.900 had almost no genetic defects. 01:01:58.900 --> 01:02:04.690 There was no problem marrying a sister. See, everything about you is inherited. Even having 01:02:04.690 --> 01:02:08.160 children is hereditary. If your parents don’t have any, you won’t either. 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. 01:02:15.730 --> 01:02:19.780 People say, “You can’t marry sisters; what about genetic similarity?” 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. 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 01:02:29.950 --> 01:02:30.200 amazing. 01:02:30.190 --> 01:02:35.320 You’ll realize that Adam lived long enough to know his great-great-great-great-grandson. 01:02:35.320 --> 01:02:39.590 Noah’s daddy could have known Adam for 56 years. 01:02:39.590 --> 01:02:42.210 Can you imagine a family reunion back in those days? 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 01:02:47.740 --> 01:02:48.240 Adam. 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 01:02:52.820 --> 01:02:57.359 ate the first man out of house and home). 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 01:02:59.940 --> 01:03:02.599 one lady said, “Now just where would you men be without us women?” 01:03:02.599 --> 01:03:06.470 I said, “In the Garden of Eden.” 01:03:06.470 --> 01:03:13.170 But it’d be lonely; it wouldn’t be worth it. 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, 01:03:16.490 --> 01:03:18.060 wow, that’s pretty cool! 01:03:18.060 --> 01:03:22.520 Noah’s son Shem lived long enough after the Flood to know Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 01:03:22.520 --> 01:03:29.520 Jacob had 13 kids: 12 boys and 1 girl. One of those boys was Joseph. 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 01:03:32.730 --> 01:03:34.400 up. They threw him in the pit and he ended up down in Egypt. 01:03:34.400 --> 01:03:37.090 And he became the “Vice Pharaoh” or whatever they called it. 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. 01:03:40.210 --> 01:03:45.320 So Joseph is introducing his dad, Jacob, to Pharaoh. And Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How old 01:03:45.320 --> 01:03:46.550 are you?” 01:03:46.550 --> 01:03:49.130 And Jacob said, “I’m 130 years old.” 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 01:03:52.760 --> 01:03:54.920 days of the years of the life of my fathers.” 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 01:04:00.970 --> 01:04:01.440 here? 01:04:01.440 --> 01:04:05.470 I’m 130, but this is nothing compared to my ancestors? 01:04:05.470 --> 01:04:10.590 Yeah, when you figure he could have personally known Shem, Arphaxad, Salah, and Eber. 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 01:04:14.720 --> 01:04:15.859 feel so old anymore. 01:04:15.859 --> 01:04:19.740 Anyway, the textbooks say that the earth is billions of years old. 01:04:19.740 --> 01:04:22.050 Jesus said the creation of Adam was the beginning. 01:04:22.050 --> 01:04:24.920 Now was Jesus lying? Was He stupid? 01:04:24.920 --> 01:04:28.640 Or was He right? How old is the earth? 01:04:28.640 --> 01:04:32.340 Do the books in this town teach the kids the earth is billions of years old? 01:04:32.340 --> 01:04:35.320 Are they going to learn this in school when they go back? 01:04:35.320 --> 01:04:37.660 “4.6 billion years ago ...” 01:04:37.660 --> 01:04:41.820 Even some Christians are teaching that the earth is billions of years old. 01:04:41.820 --> 01:04:45.099 Some people do who really sincerely, honestly love the Lord! 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 01:04:47.880 --> 01:04:49.500 billions of years old. 01:04:49.500 --> 01:04:52.740 I debated Hugh Ross for three hours on the John Ankerberg show. 01:04:52.740 --> 01:04:56.599 Both of those guys believe that the earth is billions of years old. People say, “Well 01:04:56.599 --> 01:04:58.700 who cares? What difference does it make?” 01:04:58.700 --> 01:05:00.890 It makes a giant difference. 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 01:05:03.960 --> 01:05:05.940 sin. 01:05:05.940 --> 01:05:09.940 Now you have a heresy. And it is heresy! 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 01:05:13.109 --> 01:05:13.760 before sin. 01:05:13.760 --> 01:05:15.560 Now that is a clear heresy. 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. 01:05:21.840 --> 01:05:23.119 Who cares about the age of the earth? 01:05:23.119 --> 01:05:26.690 Well for one thing, the credibility of Genesis is at stake. 01:05:26.690 --> 01:05:31.540 The average person reading that book is not going to find billions of years in there. 01:05:31.540 --> 01:05:33.140 So the question is real simple. 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 01:05:36.619 --> 01:05:38.460 tell us what it means? 01:05:38.460 --> 01:05:44.930 Secondly, the credibility of Jesus is at stake since He quoted Genesis 25 times. And just 01:05:44.930 --> 01:05:49.510 about every other book in the Bible refers to the Book of Genesis. 01:05:49.510 --> 01:05:52.940 It’s an important topic. And the evolutionists really care! 01:05:52.940 --> 01:05:57.810 If you take away billions of years, their theory looks real silly. 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.” 01:06:02.440 --> 01:06:05.840 Well, the Bible clearly teaches about 6,000 years. 01:06:05.840 --> 01:06:09.390 Let’s see what the scientific evidence says. 01:06:09.390 --> 01:06:14.390 In 1999 the world’s population crossed over the 6 billion mark. 01:06:14.390 --> 01:06:17.640 In 1985 there were 5 billion people on planet earth. 01:06:17.640 --> 01:06:20.349 In 1800 there was one billion people here. 01:06:20.349 --> 01:06:24.460 Everybody agrees there were about one billion people here around 1800. And everybody agrees 01:06:24.460 --> 01:06:26.680 the world’s population is growing rapidly. 01:06:26.680 --> 01:06:32.609 But the world is not overcrowded. Don’t fall for that over-populated propaganda going around 01:06:32.609 --> 01:06:33.619 the schools. 01:06:33.619 --> 01:06:35.320 The world is not overcrowded. 01:06:35.320 --> 01:06:39.590 The whole world’s population today, all 6 billion people, would fit inside Jacksonville, 01:06:39.590 --> 01:06:42.730 Florida twice. 01:06:42.730 --> 01:06:45.280 That little city has 25 billion square feet. 01:06:45.280 --> 01:06:48.270 The world’s not overcrowded, folks. 01:06:48.270 --> 01:06:53.849 Have you driven across Nebraska? Or Kansas? Or New Mexico? Or Texas? 01:06:53.849 --> 01:06:56.670 Drive across Texas. Have any of you driven across Texas? 01:06:56.670 --> 01:06:59.440 You can go for three days. Are we still in Texas? 01:06:59.440 --> 01:07:04.030 Yeah, nothing out there but flat rabbits, I tell you what. 01:07:04.030 --> 01:07:04.980 The world’s not overcrowded. 01:07:04.980 --> 01:07:08.420 Drive across Tennessee, for Heaven’s sake. It’s not overcrowded. 01:07:08.420 --> 01:07:12.180 Look, if it’s overcrowded where you are, move! 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 01:07:17.040 --> 01:07:21.920 population was only about a quarter of a billion! 01:07:21.920 --> 01:07:26.570 It looks like the whole population growth curve started about 4,400 years ago. 01:07:26.570 --> 01:07:30.140 Now if you believe in evolution, you’ve got a problem. 01:07:30.140 --> 01:07:33.020 You think man’s been here for 3 million years. 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 01:07:40.990 --> 01:07:43.520 people per square inch. 01:07:43.520 --> 01:07:48.290 That would be crowded. No, man’s not been here for millions of years. 01:07:48.290 --> 01:07:52.200 God told Adam to replenish the earth; fill it with kids. Have lots of kids! 01:07:52.200 --> 01:07:56.480 “He formed the world to be inhabited,” Isaiah 45 tells us. 01:07:56.480 --> 01:08:00.240 We got people on the other side saying we should reduce the population of the earth. 01:08:00.240 --> 01:08:02.109 That is Satan’s plan, of course. 01:08:02.109 --> 01:08:07.180 Jacques Cousteau said we need to eliminate 350,000 people per day. 01:08:07.180 --> 01:08:11.840 Ted Turner said we need a 95% decline in populations. 01:08:11.840 --> 01:08:15.030 Okay, Ted, you first. 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 01:08:19.660 --> 01:08:20.880 billion. 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 01:08:25.569 --> 01:08:28.109 and eat dust all your life.” 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 01:08:32.399 --> 01:08:35.729 seed, it shall bruise thy head.” 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 01:08:38.880 --> 01:08:40.250 not looking forward to that. 01:08:40.250 --> 01:08:43.859 So he has decided he’s going to kill every human being on the planet. 01:08:43.859 --> 01:08:48.920 Satan’s goal is to kill all of humanity to thwart God’s plan. 01:08:48.920 --> 01:08:51.089 God said to fill the earth with kids; have a bunch of kids. 01:08:51.089 --> 01:08:52.979 Satan says, “No, we are going to reduce it to zero.” 01:08:52.979 --> 01:08:58.920 Remember when Herod wanted to kill baby Jesus in Bethlehem? What did he do? 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. 01:09:03.920 --> 01:09:06.729 And Satan’s going to try to kill every human being on the planet. 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 01:09:09.960 --> 01:09:11.540 some of them.” 01:09:11.540 --> 01:09:14.839 Bill Clinton signed the biodiversity treaty that said we need to reduce the earth’s population 01:09:14.839 --> 01:09:15.839 to one billion. 01:09:15.839 --> 01:09:20.040 They’ve already got the earth divided up into regions. 01:09:20.040 --> 01:09:23.950 The red areas on the map are for animals only. No human beings allowed. 01:09:23.950 --> 01:09:29.020 The treaty’s been signed; it just hasn’t been enforced yet - coming soon though. 01:09:29.020 --> 01:09:32.469 Peter Singer is the guy who wants to have abortions after the baby’s born. 01:09:32.469 --> 01:09:36.020 You have got 28 days to decide if you want to keep it. 01:09:36.020 --> 01:09:37.750 He said, “Christianity is our foe.” 01:09:37.750 --> 01:09:41.899 “If animal rights is to succeed, we must destroy the Judeo-Christian religious tradition.” 01:09:41.899 --> 01:09:45.469 Like animals should have more rights than humans. Alan Gregg said, “The world has cancer, 01:09:45.469 --> 01:09:48.609 and the cancer is man.” 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.” 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 01:09:59.780 --> 01:10:03.370 virus to lower human population levels.” 01:10:03.370 --> 01:10:09.610 Nice guy, Phil. By the way, Monsanto is real busy on developing genetically modified foods. 01:10:09.610 --> 01:10:10.940 They banned them in Europe. 01:10:10.940 --> 01:10:17.239 But 70% of everything you eat now contains genetically modified foods, causing all kinds 01:10:17.239 --> 01:10:19.040 of problems with health. 01:10:19.040 --> 01:10:21.969 Get the book, “Seeds of Deception,” if you want a whole lot more on that. 01:10:21.969 --> 01:10:26.840 Or read “Engineered Extinction” from the “New American” magazine about how our food is being 01:10:26.840 --> 01:10:28.500 tampered with to reduce the population. 01:10:28.500 --> 01:10:32.630 The United Nations said, “Food is power, we use it to control behavior, ... we do not 01:10:32.630 --> 01:10:33.440 apologize.” 01:10:33.440 --> 01:10:38.170 And before you get excited about vaccines, you might want to read what’s happening with 01:10:38.170 --> 01:10:41.270 the viruses being injected in with the vaccines. 01:10:41.270 --> 01:10:42.710 Time bombs are being planted in there. 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. 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 01:10:55.300 --> 01:10:57.530 from vaccines, most people believe. 01:10:57.530 --> 01:11:00.530 Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) seems to be from vaccines. 01:11:00.530 --> 01:11:03.020 In Australia they made vaccines non-mandatory. 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 01:11:08.700 --> 01:11:09.930 Syndrome. 01:11:09.930 --> 01:11:13.219 Go to www.marytocco.com if you want more on vaccines. 01:11:13.219 --> 01:11:17.000 But there are people who want to reduce the population of the earth. 01:11:17.000 --> 01:11:21.590 Go outside of Atlanta, Georgia, to the town of Elberton. Go north about seven or eight 01:11:21.590 --> 01:11:23.030 miles on Highway 77. 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 01:11:27.370 --> 01:11:29.000 population of the planet. 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. 01:11:32.950 --> 01:11:35.270 You drive over there and it is the weirdest place - in the middle of nowhere. 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 01:11:41.210 --> 01:11:43.570 New World Order. 01:11:43.570 --> 01:11:48.670 Commandment number one, Maintain humanity under one-half billion. 01:11:48.670 --> 01:11:53.040 Well now hold on a minute, there are already 6 billion people here. 01:11:53.040 --> 01:11:58.400 How do they propose to “maintain humanity under a half billion?” 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 01:12:02.070 --> 01:12:03.730 exactly what the devil wants. 01:12:03.730 --> 01:12:05.710 More on that in our college class: CSE 101. 01:12:05.710 --> 01:12:09.770 Well, regardless of what happens in the future, the population today tells us that man has 01:12:09.770 --> 01:12:11.810 only been here about 4,400 years. 01:12:11.810 --> 01:12:17.100 They said it looks like there has been a genetic bottleneck. The whole population was reduced 01:12:17.100 --> 01:12:19.810 to just a few thousand just a couple thousand years ago. 01:12:19.810 --> 01:12:23.710 Hey, they are getting closer. Actually it was all reduced to eight persons only about 01:12:23.710 --> 01:12:25.680 4,400 years ago. 01:12:25.680 --> 01:12:29.489 I tell everybody that you keep studying, and when you get done climbing the mountain of 01:12:29.489 --> 01:12:32.280 truth, you’ll find the Baptists have been sitting there all along. 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. 01:12:37.880 --> 01:12:42.840 So why do we still have spiral arms on the galaxies? They should not be there. 01:12:42.840 --> 01:12:48.480 Galaxies are evidence that the universe is not billions of years old. 01:12:48.480 --> 01:12:51.410 Stars are blowing up all the time. It is called a supernova or a nova. 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 01:12:55.090 --> 01:12:58.420 remnants or fragments that have been found. 01:12:58.420 --> 01:13:00.980 That’s only a few thousand years worth of stars. 01:13:00.980 --> 01:13:04.370 Why aren’t there billions of supernova remnants? 01:13:04.370 --> 01:13:07.850 Some people say, “Well, new stars are forming in the Crab nebula or horsehead nebula.” 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. 01:13:11.980 --> 01:13:15.030 The planet Jupiter is cooling off rapidly. 01:13:15.030 --> 01:13:19.230 The stars are changing from red giants to white dwarfs. 01:13:19.230 --> 01:13:23.210 The textbooks say it takes billions of years. We know that is not true. 01:13:23.210 --> 01:13:28.180 All the ancient astronomers said Sirius was a red star. Today it is a white dwarf. 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. 01:13:31.810 --> 01:13:33.730 Jupiter’s cooling off rapidly. 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. 01:13:38.980 --> 01:13:43.510 Jupiter’s moon Ganymede has a strong magnetic field, indicating a liquid core, meaning it 01:13:43.510 --> 01:13:45.570 is not billions of years old. 01:13:45.570 --> 01:13:50.280 Saturn’s rings are expanding away from the planet. They cannot be billions of years old. 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 01:13:53.410 --> 01:13:53.880 by the way. 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. 01:13:58.770 --> 01:14:02.310 Did you know that as the moon moves around the earth, it is gradually getting farther 01:14:02.310 --> 01:14:02.630 away? 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. 01:14:09.440 --> 01:14:13.170 Nothing to worry about; plus nothing you can do about it anyway. 01:14:13.170 --> 01:14:15.880 But the moon is getting farther from the earth every day. 01:14:15.880 --> 01:14:22.330 Now kids, this is going to be complicated, so listen carefully. The moon is getting farther 01:14:22.330 --> 01:14:25.270 from the earth every day. 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 01:14:34.390 --> 01:14:35.080 at all? 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 01:14:39.580 --> 01:14:43.450 causes the tides. 01:14:43.450 --> 01:14:46.310 You folks in Knoxville probably don’t worry about the tides. 01:14:46.310 --> 01:14:48.360 But in Pensacola, you worry about the tides. 01:14:48.360 --> 01:14:52.870 You see, if the moon was closer, the tides would be higher. 01:14:52.870 --> 01:14:55.380 There’s a law called the inverse square law. 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 01:14:59.370 --> 01:15:03.030 it. It’s nine times the gravitational pull! 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 01:15:07.050 --> 01:15:09.830 almost together 1.4 billion years ago. 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. 01:15:16.270 --> 01:15:21.469 Well, if the moon was whizzing around just above the surface of the earth, that explains 01:15:21.469 --> 01:15:25.590 what happened to the tall dinosaurs. 01:15:25.590 --> 01:15:31.520 They got mooned. 01:15:31.520 --> 01:15:35.670 Comets are flying around through space, but comets are constantly losing material. 01:15:35.670 --> 01:15:37.800 Stuff blows off the tail of a comet. 01:15:37.800 --> 01:15:41.500 You can’t just keep losing; pretty soon it is gone. 01:15:41.500 --> 01:15:43.460 You know, it’s kind of like your checkbook. 01:15:43.460 --> 01:15:48.250 See, if your outgo exceeds your income, your upkeep will be your downfall, every single 01:15:48.250 --> 01:15:48.610 time! 01:15:48.610 --> 01:15:53.830 Well, these comets are always losing material. That’s something you just can’t keep doing 01:15:53.830 --> 01:15:54.860 forever. 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 01:16:01.540 --> 01:16:02.900 a question. 01:16:02.900 --> 01:16:07.710 Why do we still have comets out there? They should all be gone by now. 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 01:16:11.650 --> 01:16:13.650 less than 10,000 years old. 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. 01:16:20.650 --> 01:16:22.500 There are now over a thousand. 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. 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 01:16:32.320 --> 01:16:35.450 back in 1950? His name was Jan Oort. 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 01:16:41.540 --> 01:16:46.290 there, and new ones kept coming in to replace the ones that are burning out.” 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 01:16:50.290 --> 01:16:51.940 that are burning up. 01:16:51.940 --> 01:16:55.210 They called it the “Oort Cloud” of comets. 01:16:55.210 --> 01:16:59.550 He said this Oort cloud is 50,000 astronomical units away. 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 01:17:04.400 --> 01:17:04.670 earth. 01:17:04.670 --> 01:17:07.550 That is one astronomical unit. 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 01:17:12.840 --> 01:17:13.969 units away. 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. 01:17:20.210 --> 01:17:25.070 Nobody’s ever seen this Oort cloud. Oort never saw the Oort cloud. 01:17:25.070 --> 01:17:30.580 The whole thing is based on a mathematical mistake. There is no Oort cloud. 01:17:30.580 --> 01:17:35.770 Even Carl Sagan said, “Many scientific papers are written each year about the Oort cloud, 01:17:35.770 --> 01:17:37.630 its properties, its origin, its evolution. ... 01:17:37.630 --> 01:17:42.420 Yet there is not yet a shred of direct observational evidence for its existence.” 01:17:42.420 --> 01:17:44.690 There is no Oort cloud. 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 01:17:48.880 --> 01:17:49.940 the earth is young, ... 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 01:17:55.690 --> 01:17:56.920 don’t exist!” 01:17:56.920 --> 01:18:03.910 Wait, wait, wait. How would you prove the nonexistence of something? 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? 01:18:09.730 --> 01:18:12.820 What he’s trying to do here is called shifting the burden of proof. 01:18:12.820 --> 01:18:15.550 The liberals do it to us all the time, and we fall for it. 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 01:18:21.210 --> 01:18:28.210 until you cut the skin. Prove I’m wrong. 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 01:18:31.060 --> 01:18:31.390 it? 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 01:18:55.969 --> 01:18:56.550 problem. 01:18:56.550 --> 01:19:01.150 The Bible says, “The heavens declare the glory of God.” It’s interesting. Evolution theory 01:19:01.150 --> 01:19:04.910 has the sun and stars evolving before the earth. 01:19:04.910 --> 01:19:09.200 The Bible says, God made the earth before the sun and stars. 01:19:09.200 --> 01:19:14.400 Everything about the evolution theory is backwards to the Bible. Every single thing - absolutely 01:19:14.400 --> 01:19:16.690 backwards! 01:19:16.690 --> 01:19:19.670 These theories don’t match. Everything’s backwards. 01:19:19.670 --> 01:19:24.719 The Bible says man brought death into the world. Evolution says death brought man into 01:19:24.719 --> 01:19:26.100 the world. 01:19:26.100 --> 01:19:32.110 The Bible says God created man; evolution says no, man created God. 01:19:32.110 --> 01:19:34.120 These theories are polar opposites. 01:19:34.120 --> 01:19:38.500 People say, “Couldn’t God use evolution to create?” 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. 01:19:41.580 --> 01:19:44.890 The God that would use evolution is cruel, wasteful, and retarded. 01:19:44.890 --> 01:19:47.310 It’s not a God you would want to pray to, that’s for sure. 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. 01:19:50.800 --> 01:19:54.000 The psalmist said, “When I consider thy heavens....” 01:19:54.000 --> 01:19:57.890 By the way, heavens is plural; we get into that more in video #2. 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 01:20:01.500 --> 01:20:02.670 shut off that TV. 01:20:02.670 --> 01:20:07.270 Go outside, and consider the heavens. Go see what God has done. 01:20:07.270 --> 01:20:10.640 The psalmist said, “While I was musing, the fire burned.” 01:20:10.640 --> 01:20:13.910 The word muse means “think.” Think. 01:20:13.910 --> 01:20:17.050 The Bible uses that word twice. Think. 01:20:17.050 --> 01:20:20.250 Now, English is a pretty interesting language, you know. 01:20:20.250 --> 01:20:23.920 A “theist” is a person who says he believes in God. 01:20:23.920 --> 01:20:27.600 If you put the letter “a” in front of a word, it means the opposite. 01:20:27.600 --> 01:20:31.900 So an “atheist” is a person who says he does not believe in God. 01:20:31.900 --> 01:20:38.680 “Muse” means to think. So what is the opposite? You got it. 01:20:38.680 --> 01:20:41.489 “Amuse” means literally, to not think. 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. 01:20:45.190 --> 01:20:50.010 They are called amusement parks - a place to not think. 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, 01:20:54.380 --> 01:20:57.969 which thou hast ordained: What is man that thou art mindful of him?” 01:20:57.969 --> 01:21:02.610 You know what’s interesting? A person that spends his time considering what God has done 01:21:02.610 --> 01:21:05.420 is just not impressed with what man can do. 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 01:21:10.170 --> 01:21:17.130 see all over the wall are sports heroes (you listen carefully), you are training your kids 01:21:17.130 --> 01:21:22.410 to meditate on what man can do, not on what God can do. 01:21:22.410 --> 01:21:25.969 And his brain, his thinking process, is going to be about that deep. 01:21:25.969 --> 01:21:32.969 You know the depth of his understanding is “Wow, he threw the ball through the hoop.” 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? 01:21:38.800 --> 01:21:43.590 Does anybody know who won the Stupid Bowl, err, Super Bowl five years ago? 01:21:43.590 --> 01:21:49.000 Does anybody care? It doesn’t matter, does it? 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 01:21:51.960 --> 01:21:53.090 go buy their own. 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 01:21:59.100 --> 01:22:05.280 a pig bladder down a cow pasture through some plumbing. 01:22:05.280 --> 01:22:06.750 It’s not going to last, folks. 01:22:06.750 --> 01:22:10.110 Think about things that are going to last forever, like what God has done. Meditate 01:22:10.110 --> 01:22:10.620 on that. 01:22:10.620 --> 01:22:13.150 The Bible says, “Speak to the earth and it shall teach thee.” 01:22:13.150 --> 01:22:17.469 The earth is like a big magnet. Now magnets always lose their strength. 01:22:17.469 --> 01:22:22.190 The earth’s magnet has lost 10% of its strength in the last 150 years. 01:22:22.190 --> 01:22:28.050 That means, of course, that it used to be stronger- since it’s getting weaker. 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 01:22:33.070 --> 01:22:34.620 it to less than 25,000 years. 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 01:22:40.730 --> 01:22:47.730 of a mammoth dated 15,000 years old, but the skin was 21,000. 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 01:22:54.590 --> 01:22:56.430 birth. 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. 01:23:02.320 --> 01:23:05.180 The textbooks will say, well, yes the magnetic field is getting weaker, but that’s because 01:23:05.180 --> 01:23:05.750 it’s reversing. 01:23:05.750 --> 01:23:07.949 It’s a pattern of reversals. 01:23:07.949 --> 01:23:12.050 No, there are no magnetic reversals in the magnetic field at the bottom of the ocean. 01:23:12.050 --> 01:23:16.070 We cover that in video #6. This is all a part of another theory called: Pangaea. 01:23:16.070 --> 01:23:17.810 How many have ever heard of “Pangaea” before? 01:23:17.810 --> 01:23:20.030 That all the continents used to fit together. 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? 01:23:24.560 --> 01:23:28.130 Did they tell you they took out all of Mexico and Central America? 01:23:28.130 --> 01:23:33.840 “Senor, que pasa donde esta Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica and Guatemala?” 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. 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 01:23:43.880 --> 01:23:50.449 underneath. People say, “Hovind, do you think the continents were ever connected?” 01:23:50.449 --> 01:23:53.940 I say, “What do you mean? They are still connected.” 01:23:53.940 --> 01:23:58.330 I mean, like right now; it is just the low places are full of water. 01:23:58.330 --> 01:24:01.380 What do you mean “were they connected?” Hello! They are still connected. 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 01:24:05.770 --> 01:24:07.000 “The Hovind Theory.” 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 01:24:10.480 --> 01:24:11.250 down. 01:24:11.250 --> 01:24:16.130 The earth actually slows down about a thousandth of a second every day. 01:24:16.130 --> 01:24:21.650 The earth slows down. “Astronomy Magazine” ran an article in 1992. 01:24:21.650 --> 01:24:27.860 They said, “Earth’s rotation is slowing down. ... June will be one second longer than normal.” 01:24:27.860 --> 01:24:32.500 We will have a leap second. Leap second? 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 01:24:37.310 --> 01:24:38.760 earth is slowing down. 01:24:38.760 --> 01:24:43.820 Now kids, this is going to be complicated, so listen carefully. 01:24:43.820 --> 01:24:48.980 The earth is spinning, but it is slowing down 01:24:48.980 --> 01:24:55.980 So that means that it used to be going faster. 01:24:56.270 --> 01:25:02.440 How many can figure this out with no help at all? 01:25:02.440 --> 01:25:05.469 Well, if the earth is only 6,000 years old, this is not a problem. 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. 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. 01:25:15.460 --> 01:25:18.250 Man, if you go back billions of years, you are going to have a problem. 01:25:18.250 --> 01:25:20.620 The earth would be spinning pretty quick. 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. 01:25:26.590 --> 01:25:29.690 Centrifugal force would have been enormous. Man, the winds would have been 5,000 miles 01:25:29.690 --> 01:25:32.449 an hour from the Coriolis effect. 01:25:32.449 --> 01:25:35.340 And you want me to believe the dinosaurs lived millions of years ago? 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 01:25:42.630 --> 01:25:43.430 ago. 01:25:43.430 --> 01:25:45.980 The Sahara Desert has what is called a prevailing wind pattern. 01:25:45.980 --> 01:25:50.969 The wind almost always blows the same way. This creates a serious problem. 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. 01:25:56.320 --> 01:26:00.360 The process is called desertification. You can read about it in an earth science book. 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 01:26:05.460 --> 01:26:10.890 know what, folks, the Sahara Desert is probably about 4,000 years old. 01:26:10.890 --> 01:26:15.340 That’s when it started growing. Egypt used to be fertile land all over the place. 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 01:26:20.590 --> 01:26:22.770 a bigger desert someplace? 01:26:22.770 --> 01:26:27.010 Why would the biggest desert on planet earth be less than 4,000 years old? 01:26:27.010 --> 01:26:30.270 Well, I have a theory about that. Now here’s my theory. 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. 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 01:26:42.090 --> 01:26:43.440 be tough. 01:26:43.440 --> 01:26:46.880 So the desert couldn’t start growing until the floodwater went down. 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 01:26:51.790 --> 01:26:55.180 years old. 01:26:55.180 --> 01:26:59.730 It is! Wow, maybe the Bible’s right. 01:26:59.730 --> 01:27:03.050 You know when they drill into the ground, sometimes they hit oil? 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 01:27:07.850 --> 01:27:12.510 inch. It will come squirting up out of the ground- 20,000 psi. 01:27:12.510 --> 01:27:16.380 Well, the guys who study the rocks on top of the oil say, 01:27:16.380 --> 01:27:19.989 “You know, it just can’t handle that pressure for more than about 10,000 years.” 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 01:27:25.360 --> 01:27:27.739 the weight of overburden. 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. 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 01:27:37.449 --> 01:27:38.969 under pressure? 01:27:38.969 --> 01:27:44.239 Well, most scientists agree that oil comes from organisms that are squished. 01:27:44.239 --> 01:27:46.930 They’re changed by heat and pressure into oil. 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 01:27:53.250 --> 01:27:58.300 got a treatment plant that takes sewage sludge and turns it into oil in 30 minutes. 01:27:58.300 --> 01:28:05.300 There is a factory in Texas that takes turkey guts and pressurizes them, heats them, and 01:28:06.260 --> 01:28:07.280 turns them into oil. 01:28:07.280 --> 01:28:12.180 It said in the article: “We duplicated what Mother Nature does, but what took Mother Nature 01:28:12.180 --> 01:28:15.739 millions of years to do, we do in about 30 minutes.” 01:28:15.739 --> 01:28:20.230 Sinclair has the dinosaur as their logo. They say dinosaurs turned into oil. 01:28:20.230 --> 01:28:27.230 Yes, boys and girls, they mellowed for 80 million years. I don’t think so. 01:28:28.800 --> 01:28:30.850 I have a theory about the oil, and here is my theory: 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. 01:28:37.790 --> 01:28:41.699 In that Flood, lots of critters and people drowned. 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 01:28:44.750 --> 01:28:45.980 heavy after a while. 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 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 01:28:57.160 --> 01:29:00.400 here tonight on some of your ancestors. 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, 01:29:06.930 --> 01:29:07.890 you can say, 01:29:07.890 --> 01:29:13.190 “Bye, Grandpa. You should have listened to Noah; he told you it was going to rain!” 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 01:29:18.770 --> 01:29:19.850 you, you’re wrong.” 01:29:19.850 --> 01:29:22.980 “Would you come with us, please?” I said, “Sure!” 01:29:22.980 --> 01:29:27.650 They took me to this big freezer outside of Denver, in Lakewood, Colorado. 01:29:27.650 --> 01:29:32.920 It’s the National Ice Core Laboratory. It is -36 degrees F (-38C) in there. 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 01:29:36.930 --> 01:29:38.219 seconds when I walked in there. 01:29:38.219 --> 01:29:40.860 I have got Florida blood, you know? It is real thin. 01:29:40.860 --> 01:29:44.489 They said, “Hovind, we go to Greenland and we drill holes through the ice.” 01:29:44.489 --> 01:29:46.719 You know, a government job. 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 01:29:50.110 --> 01:29:50.920 middle of the pipe. 01:29:50.920 --> 01:29:54.980 And we save it in this big freezer here in Lakewood, Colorado. 01:29:54.980 --> 01:29:58.260 We have ten ice cores from stored in this freezer.” 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 01:30:01.610 --> 01:30:03.750 on here, looks like tree rings - dark, light, dark, light?” 01:30:03.750 --> 01:30:05.270 I said, “Oh yeah, it’s real clear.” 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 01:30:10.489 --> 01:30:11.699 and makes clear ice.” 01:30:11.699 --> 01:30:15.489 (It shows up dark in the picture.) 01:30:15.489 --> 01:30:19.500 In the winter, the snow just packs. It doesn’t get a chance to melt. 01:30:19.500 --> 01:30:21.310 And so it shows up as a white layer. 01:30:21.310 --> 01:30:25.219 So these layers represent: summer, winter, summer, winter, summer, winter, summer, winter. 01:30:25.219 --> 01:30:30.420 And they said, Now, the deepest hole we’ve ever drilled is 10,000 feet deep. 01:30:30.420 --> 01:30:35.790 And we counted these ice rings. And there were 135,000 of them. 01:30:35.790 --> 01:30:39.680 And now you’re going around telling everybody the earth is 6,000 years old. 01:30:39.680 --> 01:30:44.390 We can prove it is at least 135,000 years old. 01:30:44.390 --> 01:30:47.330 I said, “Fellas, aren’t you assuming those are annual rings?” 01:30:47.330 --> 01:30:50.360 See, they didn’t know about the Lost Squadron, apparently. 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 01:30:54.460 --> 01:30:57.989 ever heard of the Lost Squadron? OK. It’s been on TV a bunch of times. 01:30:57.989 --> 01:31:02.510 Well, the airplanes got left there in 1942. 01:31:02.510 --> 01:31:04.750 They went on and fought the war, and everyone forgot about them. 01:31:04.750 --> 01:31:09.320 Until a rich millionaire from Kentucky got a brilliant idea. Go find those airplanes 01:31:09.320 --> 01:31:10.750 and bring them home. 01:31:10.750 --> 01:31:15.070 He went there looking for the airplanes. They had to use ground-penetrating radar to penetrate 01:31:15.070 --> 01:31:18.680 the ice, and they located the planes. 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 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 01:31:29.300 --> 01:31:31.160 through the hole. 01:31:31.160 --> 01:31:34.900 And they put them back together in Middlesboro, Kentucky. Not too far from here. 01:31:34.900 --> 01:31:39.640 How far is Middlesboro from Knoxville, Kentucky? Two hours, maybe? 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 01:31:45.620 --> 01:31:48.300 were 263 feet down. That’s 5 1/2 feet a year. 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 01:31:55.040 --> 01:31:58.420 you get 1,800 years. 01:31:58.420 --> 01:32:01.400 I know deeper layers get squished - called glacial firn. 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. 01:32:06.110 --> 01:32:09.650 So, why isn’t there more ice at the north and south poles? 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. 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?” 01:32:21.030 --> 01:32:23.969 He said, “Oh yeah, many hundreds of them.” 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 01:32:30.710 --> 01:32:32.969 there be somewhere around 48?” 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, 01:32:41.860 --> 01:32:42.530 summer, winter. 01:32:42.530 --> 01:32:45.590 It represents warm, cold, warm, cold, warm, cold.” 01:32:45.590 --> 01:32:50.230 You can get five of those in one week in Knoxville, can’t you? 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 01:32:57.250 --> 01:32:57.670 lying. 01:32:57.670 --> 01:33:00.949 I hope he is just ignorant because ignorance can be fixed. 01:33:00.949 --> 01:33:05.110 You see, stupid is forever, but ignorance can be fixed. That is the difference by the 01:33:05.110 --> 01:33:06.110 way. 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 01:33:10.610 --> 01:33:12.870 in 8 hours. 01:33:12.870 --> 01:33:16.930 Not 15 inches, 15 distinct layers of snow!” 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 01:33:21.430 --> 01:33:21.710 age. 01:33:21.710 --> 01:33:25.210 They’ve got Cenozoic, Mesozoic, Paleozoic, Archaeozoic. 01:33:25.210 --> 01:33:28.170 Did you know the whole geologic column is bologna? 01:33:28.170 --> 01:33:31.920 It doesn’t exist. We cover that on video #4. 01:33:31.920 --> 01:33:37.699 All over the world petrified trees are found standing up connecting these rock layers. 01:33:37.699 --> 01:33:42.250 A petrified tree connecting a bunch of layers - there can’t be millions of years difference 01:33:42.250 --> 01:33:44.110 in the age of the layers. 01:33:44.110 --> 01:33:47.449 One is at Cookville, Tennessee- not far from here. 01:33:47.449 --> 01:33:51.400 The bottom is coalified; the center is petrified; the top is coalified again. 01:33:51.400 --> 01:33:54.090 The tree trunk runs through two coal seams. 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 01:33:58.750 --> 01:33:59.430 Spirit Lake. 01:33:59.430 --> 01:34:02.160 They’re going to petrify very quickly - standing up. 01:34:02.160 --> 01:34:06.120 That’s the way they sank to the bottom. They got water logged. Wood petrifies quickly. 01:34:06.120 --> 01:34:07.890 Here is petrified firewood. 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. 01:34:12.969 --> 01:34:16.370 Petrified cowboy boot with the cowboy’s leg still in it. 01:34:16.370 --> 01:34:19.699 The article’s on the table down here called “The Limestone Cowboy.” 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 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 01:34:34.580 --> 01:34:36.350 and larger. 01:34:36.350 --> 01:34:39.770 They studied the delta pretty carefully, and they say it probably took 30,000 years to 01:34:39.770 --> 01:34:43.780 put all that mud out there in the delta. 01:34:43.780 --> 01:34:45.989 Well then, I have a question. 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 01:34:49.710 --> 01:34:50.699 by now? 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 01:34:56.000 --> 01:35:01.440 6,000.” I know, but I have a theory about that. 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. 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. 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 01:35:21.460 --> 01:35:23.540 and then 4,400 years since then. 01:35:23.540 --> 01:35:26.219 A friend of mine from Louisiana is a pastor of a church. 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- 01:35:30.860 --> 01:35:32.320 drilling for oil.” 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 01:35:37.750 --> 01:35:40.000 up.” 01:35:40.000 --> 01:35:44.570 60-foot vertical trees under 14,000 feet of mud. 01:35:44.570 --> 01:35:45.710 More about that on video #6. 01:35:45.710 --> 01:35:48.610 Here is a picture of the oldest tree on the planet. 01:35:48.610 --> 01:35:50.380 It’s called the Bristle cone pine. 01:35:50.380 --> 01:35:52.890 We have a piece of Bristle cone in our museum in Pensacola. 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 01:35:56.949 --> 01:35:57.900 magnifying glass. 01:35:57.900 --> 01:36:03.140 It grows real slow. Now tree-ring dating is not an exact science. 01:36:03.140 --> 01:36:07.230 Trees can produce two rings a year or three rings a year. 01:36:07.230 --> 01:36:10.830 And be very careful about tree-ring dating with overlapping sequencing. 01:36:10.830 --> 01:36:13.040 We cover more on that during video #7, Q & A time, if you would like. 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. 01:36:19.800 --> 01:36:26.120 That’s a pretty old tree. But I’ve got a question. 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? 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. 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. 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! 01:36:49.940 --> 01:36:51.000 Wow! 01:36:51.000 --> 01:36:55.190 Maybe that Bible is right! Maybe I ought to read that thing and believe it. 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 01:36:58.630 --> 01:37:00.510 in Australia? 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 01:37:03.050 --> 01:37:04.260 over here in Australia?” 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 01:37:10.910 --> 01:37:10.910 with me. 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! 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 01:37:20.910 --> 01:37:21.620 stuff like that. 01:37:21.620 --> 01:37:25.640 So the environmentalists went out there to see how fast it grows back. 01:37:25.640 --> 01:37:32.640 They watched the reef grow for 20 years. (It was a government project.) 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. 01:37:41.770 --> 01:37:47.030 OK. Well, than I have a question. 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? 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. 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 01:38:03.300 --> 01:38:04.750 of Niagara Falls. 01:38:04.750 --> 01:38:08.760 The textbook says, “Boys and girls, the rocky ledge above Niagara Falls has been eroding 01:38:08.760 --> 01:38:10.340 for nearly 9,900 years.” 01:38:10.340 --> 01:38:15.370 Now how do they know that? Well, the rocks are breaking off the edge. 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. 01:38:20.469 --> 01:38:22.980 Flows one direction; erodes the other direction. 01:38:22.980 --> 01:38:27.650 Niagara Falls is moving back 4.7 feet a year. 01:38:27.650 --> 01:38:31.469 Charles Lyell went there in 1841 and said, “Well, Niagara Falls is here. Obviously, it 01:38:31.469 --> 01:38:36.400 started up here at the cliff by Lewiston, New York [moving back down the gully].” 01:38:36.400 --> 01:38:41.239 He said, “10,000 years worth of erosion.” The people that lived there said, “Charlie, 01:38:41.239 --> 01:38:44.719 it erodes a whole lot faster than you think. 01:38:44.719 --> 01:38:49.080 One good rainstorm and there is a whole lot of erosion takes place.” He figured three 01:38:49.080 --> 01:38:49.630 feet a year 01:38:49.630 --> 01:38:53.140 (purposely to make the Bible look wrong). 01:38:53.140 --> 01:38:55.630 He hated the Bible. We get into more about him in video #4. 01:38:55.630 --> 01:38:59.290 Today Niagara Falls is way back there, split over that island. 01:38:59.290 --> 01:39:04.640 There are actually two Niagara Falls: the Canadian side and the American side. 01:39:04.640 --> 01:39:07.880 It has eroded back quite a ways just since Charles Lyles’ time. 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 01:39:14.880 --> 01:39:19.429 shows it’s been 9,900 years.” Oh, it’s not that simple. 01:39:19.429 --> 01:39:24.020 See Niagara Falls is right here. It started up further north up by Lewiston. 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? 01:39:29.420 --> 01:39:36.420 Why is Niagara Falls right there? I have a theory about that. Here is my theory. 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. 01:39:42.620 --> 01:39:48.530 As the floodwater was running off, about half of that creek washed out in 20 minutes. 01:39:48.530 --> 01:39:51.530 So it looks like it took 9,900 years. They forgot the Flood. 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, 01:39:56.219 --> 01:39:58.130 but what do you expect? 01:39:58.130 --> 01:40:01.630 When it rains, 30% of the water runs into the ocean, 01:40:01.630 --> 01:40:06.190 bringing with it mineral salts. The oceans are getting saltier every day. 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. 01:40:12.540 --> 01:40:15.570 Question: Why aren’t the oceans saltier? 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. 01:40:23.940 --> 01:40:29.010 Now since the Flood’s been over, the oceans have gradually gotten saltier. 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 01:40:32.710 --> 01:40:33.770 the Flood?” 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 01:40:40.140 --> 01:40:43.410 water.” I said, “It is - today. 01:40:43.410 --> 01:40:49.380 During the Flood it was probably mostly fresh water and it has gradually gotten saltier. 01:40:49.380 --> 01:40:53.130 And today some animals have had to adapt to salt water. 01:40:53.130 --> 01:40:56.890 And now we have fresh-water crocodiles, and salt-water crocodiles, and they probably had 01:40:56.890 --> 01:41:03.469 a common ancestor. 01:41:03.469 --> 01:41:05.840 A crocodile.” He said, “That’s evolution.” I said, “No, it’s not.” 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 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!” 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. 01:41:22.750 --> 01:41:27.230 He slowly added salt to their aquarium. In two weeks, they became salt-water fish. 01:41:27.230 --> 01:41:32.070 When he put them back in fresh water, they died in 30 minutes. 01:41:32.070 --> 01:41:34.090 They can adapt to salt water, not a problem. 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 01:41:37.980 --> 01:41:41.239 take millions of years to form.” They’ve all got the same speech, right? 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 01:41:47.250 --> 01:41:48.780 took 250 million years. 01:41:48.780 --> 01:41:52.260 They did a study on these stalactites. And one guy said, “You know, the fastest they 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 01:41:57.590 --> 01:42:01.510 so. Here are some 50-inch stalactites growing under the Lincoln Memorial. 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. 01:42:07.360 --> 01:42:12.429 Here are 2-inch stalactites growing off a refrigeration shed in Pensacola, Florida. 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 01:42:16.699 --> 01:42:19.530 in the basement of the building from water leaking through the limestone. 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 01:42:24.140 --> 01:42:27.590 to check it out, there were already huge cave formations in 55 years. 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 01:42:34.120 --> 01:42:39.650 was 2.5 inches per thousand years. It’s more like 2 inches per year. 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. 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’ 01:42:49.620 --> 01:42:51.120 cars parking under it. 01:42:51.120 --> 01:42:54.040 They had to put up a drip pan to catch the water. 01:42:54.040 --> 01:42:59.179 A guy in Wyoming had a hot mineral spring on his property in Thermopolis, Wyoming; so 01:42:59.179 --> 01:43:00.969 he stuck a pipe in the ground. 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. 01:43:05.050 --> 01:43:08.020 They had a little fountain. They called it the Tepee Fountain. 01:43:08.020 --> 01:43:12.150 Well, the guy died. They left the pipe sticking in the yard. 01:43:12.150 --> 01:43:16.590 As the pipe was there, it left behind mineral deposits as the water evaporated. 01:43:16.590 --> 01:43:20.739 How many have seen these mineral deposits? You get them on your sink up here. 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 01:43:26.179 --> 01:43:27.020 to see it. 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, 01:43:34.320 --> 01:43:35.480 don’t you think? 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. 01:43:41.360 --> 01:43:48.340 You know, at the current rate of erosion, the continents will erode flat in 14 million 01:43:48.340 --> 01:43:49.350 years? 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 01:43:52.410 --> 01:43:53.190 above sea level? 01:43:53.190 --> 01:43:55.190 They should have washed out to sea 300 times. 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, 01:43:59.880 --> 01:44:02.290 “This place was destroyed by a flood.” 01:44:02.290 --> 01:44:04.300 The whole world was destroyed by a Flood. 01:44:04.300 --> 01:44:10.010 Just fly around like I do and look out the window once in a while. 01:44:10.010 --> 01:44:15.170 The oldest languages in the world are kind of interesting. “Origin of Major Writing Systems” 01:44:15.170 --> 01:44:19.210 from “National Geographic.” What do they say? 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 01:44:27.140 --> 01:44:27.780 years ago. 01:44:27.780 --> 01:44:34.780 The oldest writing systems. And the oldest languages are modern, sophisticated, and complete. 01:44:35.370 --> 01:44:39.050 The Chinese said the year 2,000 was the year 4,700. 01:44:39.050 --> 01:44:44.219 They think they started their calendar with the Flood. They called Noah, Phu Hi. 01:44:44.219 --> 01:44:50.489 The oldest recorded capital punishment was 3,800 years ago. The Hebrew calendar said 01:44:50.489 --> 01:44:53.400 the year 2000 was 5760. 01:44:53.400 --> 01:44:56.380 We know the Hebrew calendar was messed up because a Rabbi purposely took some years 01:44:56.380 --> 01:44:59.239 out, to make it not match the prophecy to fit Jesus. 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 01:45:04.850 --> 01:45:07.449 back to Noah. 01:45:07.449 --> 01:45:10.520 Don’t trust the Egyptian king list. It is greatly exaggerated. 01:45:10.520 --> 01:45:13.199 See the work by Courville on that, in “The Evolution Cruncher.” 01:45:13.199 --> 01:45:18.380 Why are the oldest reliable historical records less than 6,000 years old? 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? 01:45:25.100 --> 01:45:29.190 That Bible is absolutely right, folks. Absolutely correct, scientifically. 01:45:29.190 --> 01:45:35.790 The evidence for a young earth is overwhelming. Students aren’t taught that. 01:45:35.790 --> 01:45:40.449 Students are only shown the evidence for an old earth. Remember the coins in the box? 01:45:40.449 --> 01:45:44.630 They’d better deal with the youngest ones. Not the oldest ones. 01:45:44.630 --> 01:45:48.550 These books aren’t really science books anymore. They are books about evolution. 01:45:48.550 --> 01:45:51.440 I think it’s part of a much bigger picture, for a New World Order. 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... 01:45:55.699 --> 01:46:02.699 All men are created equal, they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable 01:46:05.830 --> 01:46:12.280 rights.” 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 01:46:22.330 --> 01:46:24.699 the Christian faith after one year of college? 01:46:24.699 --> 01:46:28.660 That’s what happened to Crawford Toy. 01:46:28.660 --> 01:46:32.030 Most people have never heard of Crawford Toy, but he was a very famous Southern Baptist 01:46:32.030 --> 01:46:34.989 seminary professor. 01:46:34.989 --> 01:46:40.179 He almost married a girl named Lottie Moon. Has anybody ever heard of Lottie Moon? 01:46:40.179 --> 01:46:43.679 You know, you guys have the Lottie Moon offering every Christmas. She was a great missionary 01:46:43.679 --> 01:46:44.670 to China. 01:46:44.670 --> 01:46:50.070 Crawford Toy, after the Civil War, went to Europe and learned about evolution. 01:46:50.070 --> 01:46:54.719 He sucked it in, and believed it. He became an evolutionist. 01:46:54.719 --> 01:46:57.739 Crawford came back to his Bible class and said, “You know, the Bible intends to teach 01:46:57.739 --> 01:46:59.600 a plain six-day creation. 01:46:59.600 --> 01:47:05.500 The Bible is simply in error at that point.” 01:47:05.500 --> 01:47:08.510 The Bible is in error?! Now Crawford, hold on! 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. 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. 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 01:47:23.640 --> 01:47:24.560 to be 900? 01:47:24.560 --> 01:47:27.620 But first, I want to try to brainwash everybody. Here’s what’s going to happen. 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. 01:47:33.830 --> 01:47:37.239 Maybe you’ve never been brainwashed before. It’s a harmless procedure. Don’t worry about 01:47:37.239 --> 01:47:37.969 it. 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. 01:47:43.280 --> 01:47:47.090 If you know the answer, I just want you to raise your hand. 01:47:47.090 --> 01:47:51.699 If you don’t know the answer, it will be because you have been successfully brainwashed. 01:47:51.699 --> 01:47:58.699 Now pay attention: here goes the story. Once upon a time, a man left home, jogging. 01:47:59.530 --> 01:48:04.840 He jogged a little ways and turned left. He jogged a little ways and turned left. 01:48:04.840 --> 01:48:08.710 He jogged a little ways, turned left, and jogged back home. 01:48:08.710 --> 01:48:14.080 As he was jogging home, he noticed two masked men waiting for him at home. 01:48:14.080 --> 01:48:18.219 Who were the masked men? And why did he leave home jogging? 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. 01:48:22.449 --> 01:48:28.110 The rest of you, pay attention, we are going to try it again. 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. 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. 01:48:37.850 --> 01:48:41.719 He jogged a little ways, turned left, and jogged back home. 01:48:41.719 --> 01:48:45.570 As he was jogging home, he noticed two masked men waiting for him at home. 01:48:45.570 --> 01:48:50.469 Who were the masked men? And why did he leave home jogging? 01:48:50.469 --> 01:48:53.820 Anybody new figure it out? ...Two more. 01:48:53.820 --> 01:48:58.820 The rest of you, pay attention. We are going to try it one more time. 01:48:58.820 --> 01:49:02.679 But now I am going to un-brainwash you. 01:49:02.679 --> 01:49:08.130 See, you didn’t realize it, but I had you brainwashed in the first three seconds. 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. 01:49:13.170 --> 01:49:17.310 I’ll tell the same story word for word, but watch the pictures. 01:49:17.310 --> 01:49:19.860 You will feel yourself get un-brainwashed. 01:49:19.860 --> 01:49:24.370 It’s the coolest feeling. Are you ready? Here goes. 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. 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 01:49:35.850 --> 01:49:37.260 back home. 01:49:37.260 --> 01:49:42.510 As he was jogging home, he noticed two masked men waiting for him at home. 01:49:42.510 --> 01:49:46.620 Who were the masked men? The catcher and the umpire! 01:49:46.620 --> 01:49:53.260 You say, “Brother Hovind, is it that easy to get brainwashed?” Oh yeah! 01:49:53.260 --> 01:49:57.690 You see, as soon as I said, “A man left home...” 01:49:57.690 --> 01:50:02.030 You started thinking about a house. And you were off track. 01:50:02.030 --> 01:50:05.750 And once you get off track, it’s pretty tough to get back on. 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 01:50:09.810 --> 01:50:11.560 year? 01:50:11.560 --> 01:50:15.310 Millions of kids in America, every single year, get brainwashed. And it’s so simple 01:50:15.310 --> 01:50:16.489 how they do it. 01:50:16.489 --> 01:50:20.580 They put the kid in kindergarten; he can’t even read yet. 01:50:20.580 --> 01:50:26.679 And they give him a book like this: “I Can Read About Dinosaurs.” 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? 01:50:31.330 --> 01:50:35.100 “Millions of years ago....” 01:50:35.100 --> 01:50:40.640 And that kid’s being thrown off track in the first five seconds. 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 01:50:46.610 --> 01:50:47.640 a liar. 01:50:47.640 --> 01:50:52.870 Did dinosaurs live millions of years ago? Dr. Seuss even says it, “Millions of years 01:50:52.870 --> 01:50:54.710 before you were born.” 01:50:54.710 --> 01:50:58.739 Jesus said the creation of Adam was the beginning. 01:50:58.739 --> 01:51:03.750 Somebody’s wrong, folks! Now wait a minute, the Bible says before the Flood came, they 01:51:03.750 --> 01:51:06.040 lived to be 900 years old. 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 01:51:13.480 --> 01:51:13.980 Flood? 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 01:51:18.280 --> 01:51:18.610 #3. 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 01:51:22.640 --> 01:51:26.000 a human. You be careful, because that philosophy will spoil you. 01:51:26.000 --> 01:51:31.460 Jesus said, “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after 01:51:31.460 --> 01:51:35.350 the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” 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 01:51:39.590 --> 01:51:42.060 world? 01:51:42.060 --> 01:51:44.790 Probably as an evolutionist. 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 01:51:50.280 --> 01:51:51.580 here. 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 01:51:56.159 --> 01:51:57.640 rules. 01:51:57.640 --> 01:51:59.420 Everyone of us. Let me show you. Here are the Ten Commandments. 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 01:52:05.790 --> 01:52:09.100 a lie in your life? 01:52:09.100 --> 01:52:12.640 Put your hand up, or you’re telling another one if you don’t! 01:52:12.640 --> 01:52:17.210 “Thou shalt not steal.” How many ever stole something? 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, 01:52:22.850 --> 01:52:24.440 brother? Put it up.) 01:52:24.440 --> 01:52:28.120 So far, we know we’re all a bunch of lying thieves, right? 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. 01:52:31.770 --> 01:52:35.310 There is no question, we are guilty. And we are going to be punished. 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. 01:52:39.090 --> 01:52:44.199 Or, you need to find a substitute. That’s where Jesus comes in. 01:52:44.199 --> 01:52:46.190 He wants to pay for your sins. 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 01:52:49.679 --> 01:52:50.570 save me. 01:52:50.570 --> 01:52:56.550 Hey, if you died today, where would you go? Smoking or non-smoking? 01:52:56.550 --> 01:53:01.850 Where are you going when you die? 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. 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 01:53:13.090 --> 01:53:13.600 someday. 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 01:53:19.409 --> 01:53:20.550 today. 01:53:20.550 --> 01:53:25.060 Have you seen the way they drive around Knoxville, Tennessee? 01:53:25.060 --> 01:53:26.969 You have got some certified rednecks out there, folks. 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? 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. 01:53:37.179 --> 01:53:41.140 And if you are saved, what on earth are you doing for Heaven’s sake? 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 01:53:45.219 --> 01:53:45.750 to do. 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 01:53:50.280 --> 01:53:50.530 life. 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 01:53:53.640 --> 01:53:54.130 back there. 01:53:54.130 --> 01:53:57.390 as well as our videos. We want to help strengthen your faith in God’s Word. 01:53:57.390 --> 01:54:02.460 We hope you’ve enjoyed this series on creation, evolution, and dinosaurs. 01:54:02.460 --> 01:54:06.100 Much more important, though, than knowing all the truths and facts about science, 01:54:06.100 --> 01:54:08.260 is to know the truth about whether you’re going to Heaven or not. 01:54:08.260 --> 01:54:11.000 If you’ve never trusted Christ as your Savior, 01:54:11.000 --> 01:54:13.890 Let me explain quickly what you need to do to be able to go to Heaven. 01:54:13.890 --> 01:54:17.370 The Bible says we’re all sinners. We’ve all broken God’s laws. 01:54:17.370 --> 01:54:22.350 We’ve disobeyed the Creator. We’ve done wicked things; we’re sinners. 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. 01:54:26.590 --> 01:54:29.719 The Bible says you have to repent. The word repent means “to turn.” 01:54:29.719 --> 01:54:33.800 It actually means two things, “to turn from your sin, and to turn to God.” 01:54:33.800 --> 01:54:35.360 God’s looking for a change in your attitude. 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 01:54:39.820 --> 01:54:40.320 right.” 01:54:40.320 --> 01:54:42.900 And you turn from sin and you turn to God. 01:54:42.900 --> 01:54:46.070 You say, “God, would you please forgive me, would you save me?” 01:54:46.070 --> 01:54:48.750 The Bible says in Romans 3:23, 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. 01:54:54.159 --> 01:54:58.290 Number two, the Bible says in Romans 6:23, “The wages of sin is death.” 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. 01:55:03.840 --> 01:55:06.530 He loves you. He wants you come to Heaven. 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 01:55:10.949 --> 01:55:12.429 says in Romans 6:23. 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 01:55:17.489 --> 01:55:19.590 Lord shall be saved.” 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, 01:55:24.010 --> 01:55:26.510 He will give you that free gift of eternal life. 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. 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 01:55:33.370 --> 01:55:35.030 mean it, God would forgive you. 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. 01:55:40.980 --> 01:55:42.620 Please forgive me. 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, 01:55:48.600 --> 01:55:49.100 Amen.” 01:55:49.100 --> 01:55:52.940 The Bible says if you call upon the Lord, you shall be saved. 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 01:55:56.600 --> 01:55:57.170 grow. 01:55:57.170 --> 01:56:00.770 Read your Bible, pray, get involved in a good Bible-believing church, and begin to grow 01:56:00.770 --> 01:56:02.030 to be a good Christian. 01:56:02.030 --> 01:56:05.880 Thank you so much.
