Creation Seminar 1 Age Of The Earth Dr. Kent Hovind (With Subtitles)

  • 0:03 - 0:05
    Have you ever thought about it?
  • 0:05 - 0:08
    I mean really, what is the purpose to life?
  • 0:08 - 0:10
    Why are we here? Where did we come from?
  • 0:10 - 0:15
    For that matter, where are we going to go
    when this life is over?
  • 0:15 - 0:17
    This seminar talks about the age of the earth.
  • 0:17 - 0:22
    Dr. Hovind gives solid evidence to show that
    this earth is not billions of years old.
  • 0:22 - 0:25
    In fact, the evidence points towards a literal
    six-day creation.
  • 0:25 - 0:28
    Just like we’re told about in Genesis chapter
    one.
  • 0:28 - 0:32
    Hi, my name is Eric, and we hope you enjoy
    this incredibly powerful seminar.
  • 0:32 - 0:37
    It is presented by Dr. Hovind. It’s called
    “The Age of the Earth.”
  • 0:37 - 0:44
    Well, it is an honor to be here tonight in
    Tennessee. My name is Kent Hovind.
  • 0:44 - 0:48
    I taught high school science for 15 years,
    and now for 16 years I have been an evangelist
  • 0:48 - 0:52
    doing seminars on creation, evolution, and
    dinosaurs.
  • 0:52 - 0:57
    And I tell people right up front that I believe
    the Bible is the infallible, inspired, inerrant
  • 0:57 - 0:58
    Word of the Living God.
  • 0:58 - 1:03
    I believe it from cover to cover. I even believe
    the cover on mine; it says: Kent Hovind.
  • 1:03 - 1:08
    And for those who don’t know, the Bible is
    your Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.
  • 1:08 - 1:10
    You really ought to read the book because
    you are going to be gone for an awfully long
  • 1:10 - 1:11
    time.
  • 1:11 - 1:16
    And when you leave here, there is no coming
    back, so make sure you are going to the right
  • 1:16 - 1:16
    spot.
  • 1:16 - 1:21
    Now, one of my jobs as a Christian is “to
    be ready always to give an answer to every
  • 1:21 - 1:24
    man that asketh a reason of the hope that
    is in us.”
  • 1:24 - 1:27
    I think in the last few hundred years the
    Christians have not done a good job of answering
  • 1:27 - 1:29
    this evolution theory.
  • 1:29 - 1:32
    And we’ve tolerated this philosophy of evolution
    which is actually a religion.
  • 1:32 - 1:36
    We have allowed this religion to take over
    our school system and our legal system.
  • 1:36 - 1:41
    Our whole thinking process now is based on
    a philosophy which has zero scientific evidence.
  • 1:41 - 1:42
    None!
  • 1:42 - 1:47
    We’ve been offering $250,000 for anybody with
    any real scientific evidence for evolution.
  • 1:47 - 1:49
    That offer has been out there for 12 years
    now.
  • 1:49 - 1:51
    There is no real scientific evidence for it
    whatsoever.
  • 1:51 - 1:54
    People believe in it, I understand; but that
    doesn’t make it science.
  • 1:54 - 1:56
    Now, there are three things I try to accomplish
    in my seminar.
  • 1:56 - 1:59
    Number one, I want to strengthen your faith
    in the Word of God.
  • 1:59 - 2:01
    Number two, if you are not saved I want to
    try to get you converted.
  • 2:01 - 2:06
    I’ll tell you right up front, I am after you.
    I am not sneaking up on you - I am after you!
  • 2:06 - 2:07
    All right?
  • 2:07 - 2:09
    Number three, if you are saved and you are
    not doing much for the Lord,
  • 2:09 - 2:13
    ... then I am going to try to make you uncomfortable.
    All right?
  • 2:13 - 2:15
    You know where we are going now.
  • 2:15 - 2:22
    OK, this is not my wife. That’s just a picture
    of her.
  • 2:22 - 2:25
    Last summer was our 31st anniversary and we
    sat down to figure out how much money we have
  • 2:25 - 2:28
    spent since we got married.
  • 2:28 - 2:31
    We have spent all of it.
  • 2:31 - 2:35
    We live in Pensacola, Florida - or what’s
    left of it.
  • 2:35 - 2:37
    Hurricane Ivan about blew it off the map.
  • 2:37 - 2:39
    But we are having a good time rebuilding down
    there.
  • 2:39 - 2:43
    I have three children, one of each. And I
    got them all married off and the dog died,
  • 2:43 - 2:44
    so I made it. Praise God.
  • 2:44 - 2:47
    I am home free; it is wonderful.
  • 2:47 - 2:50
    And for those who don’t know, we now have
    the whole family working in the ministry,
  • 2:50 - 2:51
    and I have four grandkids so far.
  • 2:51 - 2:55
    And for those that don’t understand this,
    grandkids are God’s reward for not killing
  • 2:55 - 2:57
    your own kids when you thought about it.
  • 2:57 - 3:01
    How many have already figured that out? That’s
    great, isn’t it?
  • 3:01 - 3:04
    All of them live right around me and work
    in our ministry; they all want to serve God
  • 3:04 - 3:05
    with their lives.
  • 3:05 - 3:06
    That is worth something to somebody.
  • 3:06 - 3:11
    We have about 40 people in our ministry, and
    we want to do things that will help strengthen
  • 3:11 - 3:12
    your faith in God’s Word.
  • 3:12 - 3:14
    We want to change people’s worldview.
  • 3:14 - 3:19
    There are two ways to look at this world.
    That’s called your worldview. How do you view
  • 3:19 - 3:20
    this world?
  • 3:20 - 3:23
    Some people look at the world one way, and
    some look at it another way. We’ll talk about
  • 3:23 - 3:23
    that in a minute.
  • 3:23 - 3:27
    But the way you view the world determines
    how you answer the four great questions of
  • 3:27 - 3:28
    life.
  • 3:28 - 3:32
    There are four fundamental questions that
    every single religion on planet earth tries
  • 3:32 - 3:32
    to answer.
  • 3:32 - 3:38
    Who am I? Where did I come from? Why am I
    here? And where am I going when I die?
  • 3:38 - 3:42
    The way you answer those questions is totally
    determined by your worldview.
  • 3:42 - 3:46
    Some people look at the world and say, “You
    know, it’s amazing - a big bang made this
  • 3:46 - 3:50
    from nothing.” That’s the humanist worldview,
    based on the evolution theory.
  • 3:50 - 3:54
    Other people look at the world and say, “You
    know, there is an incredible design - there
  • 3:54 - 3:59
    must be a Designer!” That’s the creationist
    worldview, based on creation.
  • 3:59 - 4:06
    And those two worldviews are at war with each
    other. Somebody is wrong, and I enjoy showing
  • 4:06 - 4:07
    them who they are.
  • 4:07 - 4:08
    I’ve done a lot of debates, over 90.
  • 4:08 - 4:12
    92 debates now I’ve done at the universities;
    one here at U.T. Knoxville against Dr. Pigliuchi.
  • 4:12 - 4:16
    I’ve debated him twice; I will be glad to
    do it again. I don’t think he will, but I
  • 4:16 - 4:16
    would be honored.
  • 4:16 - 4:20
    The guys I debate are a lot smarter that I
    am, but I slaughter them because I am right
  • 4:20 - 4:23
    and they are wrong. It’s real simple.
  • 4:23 - 4:28
    But if the evolution theory is true, how would
    you answer the four great questions of life?
  • 4:28 - 4:31
    Who am I, and what am I worth?
  • 4:31 - 4:35
    Well, if evolution is true, you are nothing
    important.
  • 4:35 - 4:40
    You are just a piece of protoplasm that washed
    up on the beach; you are not worth a thing.
  • 4:40 - 4:43
    Actually you are part of the problem. You
    see, because you are one of the polluters
  • 4:43 - 4:47
    of the environment, and the more of you we
    can get rid of, the better.
  • 4:47 - 4:51
    See, that’s normal thinking if evolution is
    true.
  • 4:51 - 4:52
    Where did I come from?
  • 4:52 - 4:58
    Well, if evolution is true, you came from
    a cosmic burp about 20 billion years ago.
  • 4:58 - 5:01
    Why am I here? What’s the purpose of life?
  • 5:01 - 5:05
    Well, if evolution is true, there is no purpose
    to life, so you might as well have fun. If
  • 5:05 - 5:07
    it feels good, do it.
  • 5:07 - 5:10
    Where am I going when I die?
  • 5:10 - 5:13
    Well, if evolution is true, you are going
    to the grave and you are going to get recycled
  • 5:13 - 5:15
    into a worm, or a plant.
  • 5:15 - 5:20
    But see, the Bible says: “In the beginning
    God created the heaven and the earth.”
  • 5:20 - 5:25
    Now if that’s true, that puts a whole different
    set of answers to those questions.
  • 5:25 - 5:28
    That means we had better try to figure out
    who God is and find out what He wants and
  • 5:28 - 5:33
    do what He says. Because He created this place,
    which means He owns it, He makes the rules.
  • 5:33 - 5:38
    We had better find out what He wants. And
    if you are not obeying His rules, you may
  • 5:38 - 5:39
    be in trouble one of these days.
  • 5:39 - 5:42
    We’ll get into more about that later.
  • 5:42 - 5:45
    The devil doesn’t like this idea that God
    created the earth. The devil came to Eve in
  • 5:45 - 5:46
    the Garden of Eden.
  • 5:46 - 5:53
    The first thing he said to the woman was,
    Eve, hath God said...? “Yea, hath God said?”
  • 5:53 - 5:58
    He is trying to raise doubts about God’s Word.
  • 5:58 - 6:01
    Satan always tries to raise doubts about God’s
    Word.
  • 6:01 - 6:08
    That is one of the reasons that we’ve got
    all this confusion on different Bible versions.
  • 6:08 - 6:09
    We cover more on that in video #7.
  • 6:09 - 6:13
    The second thing he said to the woman was,
    “Ye shall not surely die.”
  • 6:13 - 6:16
    He is calling God a liar, basically.
  • 6:16 - 6:19
    The third thing he said to Eve is what I want
    to talk to you about tonight.
  • 6:19 - 6:25
    He said, Eve, if you eat off of that tree,
    ye shall be as gods.
  • 6:25 - 6:29
    And right there is where the whole idea of
    evolution got started.
  • 6:29 - 6:33
    It didn’t start with Charlie Darwin; it started
    with Satan in the Garden of Eden.
  • 6:33 - 6:35
    He wants you to think you can become a god.
  • 6:35 - 6:40
    Yes, boys and girls, we started like an amoeba,
    and we are evolving. We are getting bigger
  • 6:40 - 6:42
    and better and stronger and smarter...
  • 6:42 - 6:46
    ...and some day we are going to sail around
    the universe and discover new life-forms,
  • 6:46 - 6:48
    like “Star Trek.”
  • 6:48 - 6:51
    People ask me all the time, they say, “Hovind,
    do you think there is intelligent life on
  • 6:51 - 6:52
    other planets?”
  • 6:52 - 6:58
    I say, “No, I taught high school 15 years;
    there is not much intelligent life on this
  • 6:58 - 7:02
    planet!” I didn’t get to see a whole lot of
    it.
  • 7:02 - 7:06
    Satan’s a liar. He said that you can be like
    God. I tell you what, the Mormon Church has
  • 7:06 - 7:07
    swallowed that.
  • 7:07 - 7:09
    They teach their people that if you are a
    good Mormon, when you go to heaven you get
  • 7:09 - 7:14
    to become god. And if you’re a good Mormon
    wife, when you go to heaven you get to be
  • 7:14 - 7:16
    eternally pregnant, producing spirit babies.
  • 7:16 - 7:21
    My wife doesn’t want to go. She said, “That’s
    not heaven, honey.”
  • 7:21 - 7:25
    But there are some great books to reach Mormons
    and a good Web site: www.utlm.org.
  • 7:25 - 7:29
    If you want to reach Mormons, you ought to
    study that one.
  • 7:29 - 7:33
    I was surprised to find out a couple of years
    ago some of the major Catholic theologians
  • 7:33 - 7:36
    of the past have taught that man can become
    god.
  • 7:36 - 7:38
    It is still in their catechism right now.
  • 7:38 - 7:41
    Now most Catholics don’t believe that, and
    they don’t even realize some of their leaders
  • 7:41 - 7:43
    have taught that.
  • 7:43 - 7:48
    But even Kenneth Copeland said, “Adam, in
    the Garden of Eden, was god manifest in the
  • 7:48 - 7:48
    flesh.”
  • 7:48 - 7:52
    He said, “You don’t have a god in you; you
    are one.”
  • 7:52 - 7:55
    I am sorry, Kenneth, you are crazy about that,
    OK?
  • 7:55 - 7:59
    Kenneth Hagan said, “The believers are called
    Christ; that’s who we are, we are Christ.”
  • 7:59 - 8:03
    No, you are crazy. The job is not available,
    and you couldn’t do it if you had it.
  • 8:03 - 8:08
    You are not God, all right? Nor are you Christ.
    Walk on water sometime; I want to see that.
  • 8:08 - 8:10
    Lucifer is the one who wants to be God.
  • 8:10 - 8:15
    Lucifer said, “I will ascend into heaven,
    I will exalt my throne above the stars of
  • 8:15 - 8:15
    God: ...”
  • 8:15 - 8:18
    “I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation,
    in the sides of the north, ...”
  • 8:18 - 8:23
    “...I will ascend above the heights of the
    clouds: I will be like the most High.”
  • 8:23 - 8:28
    See, Satan wants to be God. But the job is
    not available, so he is all upset about that.
  • 8:28 - 8:35
    Since he can’t be God, he lied to Eve and
    told her she could be like God.
  • 8:37 - 8:41
    Satan hates us, though, because we are made
    in God’s image.
  • 8:41 - 8:44
    And boy, Eve fell for that hook, line, and
    sinker. “Wow, I get to be God!”
  • 8:44 - 8:49
    Hitler said, “If you tell a lie long enough
    and loud enough and often enough, the people
  • 8:49 - 8:54
    will believe it.” He said they are more likely
    to believe a big lie than a small one.
  • 8:54 - 8:57
    If you want to get somebody to believe a lie,
    you have to do it like my two big brothers
  • 8:57 - 8:58
    did to me.
  • 8:58 - 9:04
    I have two older brothers; they have always
    been older than I am. They still are today.
  • 9:04 - 9:09
    When I was about six years old, I was raised
    in Peoria, Illinois.
  • 9:09 - 9:12
    By the way, I know I am in Tennessee, but
    are there any more Yankees in the crowd? Any
  • 9:12 - 9:13
    Yankees out there?
  • 9:13 - 9:18
    Five, six, seven, OK. And how many Southerners
    do we have?
  • 9:18 - 9:19
    Oh!
  • 9:19 - 9:25
    Well, just remember who won, if you would.
    I know, ‘it ain’t over yet, right?’
  • 9:25 - 9:28
    But I was raised in East Peoria, Illinois,
    in the North.
  • 9:28 - 9:30
    But I did move to Florida, as soon as I got
    smart enough to figure out that the South
  • 9:30 - 9:31
    is going to rise again.
  • 9:31 - 9:36
    But when I was about six years old, I came
    running in for breakfast one morning.
  • 9:36 - 9:41
    I was the first one there for breakfast; so
    I got the last banana out of the bowl to put
  • 9:41 - 9:42
    on my cereal.
  • 9:42 - 9:45
    Well, a few minutes later my two big brothers
    came in.
  • 9:45 - 9:52
    They said, “Hey, Kent, is that the last banana?”
    I said, “Yep, and I got it.”
  • 9:52 - 9:55
    How many of you have an older brother or sister?
  • 9:55 - 9:59
    You know that wonderful feeling you get when
    you finally pull one over on them?
  • 9:59 - 10:02
    Boy, that morning I had them, and I knew it.
  • 10:02 - 10:06
    They wanted my banana. But big brothers do
    not beg little brothers for anything.
  • 10:06 - 10:10
    They either beat them up and take it away
    by brute force, or they lie to them and trick
  • 10:10 - 10:12
    them out of it somehow.
  • 10:12 - 10:15
    So my brothers said, “Hey, Kent, do you know
    how bananas are made?”
  • 10:15 - 10:17
    I said, “No.”
  • 10:17 - 10:22
    I was only six years old, and it’s been proven
    in laboratory tests that the brain doesn’t
  • 10:22 - 10:26
    even start to grow until kids are 18 to 20.
  • 10:26 - 10:31
    How many parents can verify that from raising
    kids? I said “No, how are bananas made?”
  • 10:31 - 10:34
    And they said, “Well, down in the South America,
    they have these spiders that live up in the
  • 10:34 - 10:38
    trees, and when they die all their legs fold
    up, and mold begins to grow on the dead spider
  • 10:38 - 10:39
    legs.
  • 10:39 - 10:42
    And a banana is really nothing but moldy spider
    legs.”
  • 10:42 - 10:47
    I said, “You guys are lying to me. You just
    want this banana because you know it’s the
  • 10:47 - 10:48
    last one.”
  • 10:48 - 10:50
    They said, “No brother, we are not lying.
  • 10:50 - 10:53
    You cut that thing in half and look in the
    middle; you can still see the black spots
  • 10:53 - 10:59
    where his legs were.”
  • 10:59 - 11:04
    I did not eat bananas for nearly three years
    after that.
  • 11:04 - 11:08
    They lied to me. Have you ever been lied to
    before?
  • 11:08 - 11:11
    I would not have believed the lie if it hadn’t
    been for those black spots.
  • 11:11 - 11:15
    See, if you want to get somebody to believe
    a lie, you have to mix it with some truth.
  • 11:15 - 11:19
    That’s a technique they have used for years
    to kill rats. You don’t give the rat a bowl
  • 11:19 - 11:24
    of poison. You give the rat a bowl of good
    food with a little poison mixed in.
  • 11:24 - 11:27
    They are mixing two things together that really
    do not belong together.
  • 11:27 - 11:33
    See, rat poison is 99.995% good food. That’s
    how you trick them.
  • 11:33 - 11:36
    They’ve done the same thing for years to sell
    Marlboro cigarettes.
  • 11:36 - 11:39
    They mix them in with cowboys.
  • 11:39 - 11:42
    You can watch any Marlboro commercial; there
    is something about a cowboy in there.
  • 11:42 - 11:45
    Have you stopped and thought about that?
  • 11:45 - 11:50
    What is the connection between smoking Marlboro
    and cowboys? Do all cowboys smoke Marlboro?
  • 11:50 - 11:55
    No. Do you have to smoke to be a cowboy? No.
  • 11:55 - 12:00
    If you start smoking Marlboro, do you become
    a cowboy automatically? No.
  • 12:00 - 12:02
    You may smell like a horse, but you are not
    a cowboy. OK?
  • 12:02 - 12:07
    Actually it has been proven in laboratory
    tests that nobody in the world smokes. Nobody
  • 12:07 - 12:07
    smokes!
  • 12:07 - 12:12
    Only the cigarette smokes; the person is the
    “sucker.” That’s all. I think they ought to
  • 12:12 - 12:15
    put the real names on those things. We ought
    to have some truth in advertising.
  • 12:15 - 12:19
    They should really be calling them: Cancerettes,
    Breath Rotters, By-pass, Malignant, Phlegm
  • 12:19 - 12:20
    Balls, and Money Suckers.
  • 12:20 - 12:23
    They do the same thing with beer.
  • 12:23 - 12:29
    They try to associate beer with sports. What
    does beer have to do with sports?
  • 12:29 - 12:33
    They get some big football player holding
    his can of Bud Dumber, or Bud Stupid.
  • 12:33 - 12:37
    They call it “Budweiser”; it doesn’t make
    them any wiser though, that’s for sure.
  • 12:37 - 12:40
    He’s got some Bud Dumber, or Miller Low Life,
    or Dead Dog, whatever it is.
  • 12:40 - 12:44
    He says, man, you drink this stuff, and you
    will be a football player. Yeah, right!
  • 12:44 - 12:47
    The Bible says if you drink that stuff, you
    will wreck your life.
  • 12:47 - 12:50
    “Who hath woe? Who hath wounds without cause?
  • 12:50 - 12:55
    They that tarry long at the wine.” The Bible
    says, don’t even look at it when it gets fermented.
  • 12:55 - 13:01
    Habakkuk says, “Woe unto him that giveth his
    neighbor drink.” There is a lot in the Bible
  • 13:01 - 13:02
    about not even touching that stuff.
  • 13:02 - 13:04
    One kid said to me one time, “What’s the matter,
    Hovind, don’t you like beer?”
  • 13:04 - 13:09
    I said, “I don’t know. I have never tasted
    it. I am 52 years old, and I’ve never had
  • 13:09 - 13:14
    a drop in my life!” (Well, I’ve had Nyquil
    a couple of times.)
  • 13:14 - 13:16
    He said, “How do you know that you won’t like
    it, if you don’t try it?”
  • 13:16 - 13:19
    I said, “Now son, that’s a brilliant way to
    live your life.”
  • 13:19 - 13:23
    Let me ask you a question, son. Have you ever
    laid your head under a semi truck?
  • 13:23 - 13:28
    Well, how do you know you won’t like it if
    you don’t try it?
  • 13:28 - 13:31
    You don’t have to try everything to figure
    out if it’s good or bad.
  • 13:31 - 13:35
    There are other ways to learn - like watching
    somebody else do it.
  • 13:35 - 13:37
    Wow, don’t do that; that will hurt.
  • 13:37 - 13:44
    Like the redneck’s famous last words: “Hey
    you all, watch this!”
  • 13:44 - 13:46
    I like science, folks; I collect science books.
  • 13:46 - 13:50
    There is a lot of good science in these books,
    but there is some poison mixed with it.
  • 13:50 - 13:57
    It’s kind of like the rat poison. It’s not
    good food
    I am against, it’s the poison!
  • 14:12 - 14:19
    I need a boy and
    a girl who would like to learn the scientific
    way to shoot a rubber band.
  • 14:44 - 14:48
    Who would like to learn? OK, that boy right
    there, come up here. And one girl, let’s get
  • 14:48 - 14:51
    one girl, come on.
  • 14:51 - 14:53
    Way back there. OK, hurry up, run!
  • 14:53 - 14:57
    All right, the scientific way to shoot a rubber
    band.
  • 14:57 - 15:02
    What’s your name sir?... Josh, How old are
    you Josh?... I was ten for a whole year one
  • 15:02 - 15:04
    time. That’s amazing.
  • 15:04 - 15:07
    I was supposed to be eleven but I was sick
    for three years when I was two and a half.
  • 15:07 - 15:13
    And how old are you going to be when you are
    almost twelve? “Eleven.”
  • 15:13 - 15:15
    And how much does your mom pay you to be good?
  • 15:15 - 15:21
    So you are good for nothing, and you are ten.
    Pick a rubber band out of here, Josh.
  • 15:21 - 15:22
    OK, the brown one. And what’s your name, ma’am?
    “Laura.”
  • 15:22 - 15:26
    Laura? Pick a rubber band out of there, Laura.
  • 15:26 - 15:28
    You want the pink one of course; a girl one.
    OK.
  • 15:28 - 15:30
    Here’s what I want you to do, Josh and Laura.
  • 15:30 - 15:35
    We are going to stand here and shoot a rubber
    band down the center aisle. Go ahead.
  • 15:35 - 15:37
    That one won’t work; that’s a double one.
    Here, let me try it.
  • 15:37 - 15:40
    Try an orange one, here. That’s two tied together;
    I didn’t see that.
  • 15:40 - 15:46
    OK, Josh, shoot the rubber band down the center
    isle. Past the table; not too far.
  • 15:46 - 15:52
    Laura, give it a try; come on. Oh, three
    rows back.
  • 15:52 - 15:55
    Now, watch carefully; I’m going to get down
    to the same size as you guys, and I am going
  • 15:55 - 15:57
    to show the scientific way to shoot a rubber
    band.
  • 15:57 - 16:01
    Are you ready for this? Now, I want you to
    notice that my fingers do not leave my hand
  • 16:01 - 16:04
    at any time.
  • 16:04 - 16:07
    You believe that? OK now, pay attention.
  • 16:07 - 16:14
    See the guy sitting way in the back of the
    church? Ah, about three fourths of the way
  • 16:15 - 16:15
    there.
  • 16:15 - 16:20
    Probably, right about now you are thinking
    of a question that has five words in it.
  • 16:20 - 16:24
    What question are you thinking of? How do
    you do that?
  • 16:24 - 16:26
    See, I told you it had five words in it, right?
  • 16:26 - 16:30
    Now, before I show you how to do this, I want
    to explain something.
  • 16:30 - 16:36
    Some kids should not learn how to do some
    things, because they become what’s known as
  • 16:36 - 16:39
    a menace to society.
  • 16:39 - 16:43
    Who’s responsible for this kid right here?
    Where’s your mom & dad? Is he safe with this
  • 16:43 - 16:48
    information? Ha, ha. Mom says no!
  • 16:48 - 16:51
    And who’s responsible for this one here, where
    is... Nobody?
  • 16:51 - 16:56
    Oh, back there. Did your husband come? No.
  • 16:56 - 17:02
    OK now, pay attention- the scientific way
    to shoot a rubber band.
  • 17:02 - 17:06
    There are two sides to a rubber band. Are
    you with me so far?
  • 17:06 - 17:11
    One side represents your flesh, that’s your
    body. And the other side represents your spirit.
  • 17:11 - 17:15
    Now your spirit has to live in your flesh,
    or else you are dead.
  • 17:15 - 17:20
    If your spirit ever leaves your flesh, you’ve
    got a real problem on your hands! (Actually
  • 17:20 - 17:21
    the neighbors do.)
  • 17:21 - 17:24
    But what most people do wrong in rubber band
    shooting, and in real life, is they put the
  • 17:24 - 17:27
    same emphasis on the flesh and the spirit.
  • 17:27 - 17:33
    See, if you pull both sides the same and let
    it fly, if you could watch it in slow motion,
  • 17:33 - 17:36
    both sides are going
  • 17:36 - 17:40
    And all the energy is wasted inside the rubber
    band because the flesh and the spirit are
  • 17:40 - 17:42
    fighting with each other.
  • 17:42 - 17:46
    So, the secret to high-speed velocity through
    a fluid medium such as the atmosphere ...
  • 17:46 - 17:53
    ... which offers resistance, is to minimize
    or eliminate the turbulence. OK?
  • 17:55 - 18:00
    All I did when you guys weren’t watching,
    was stretch one side tighter than the other.
  • 18:00 - 18:06
    One side is tight.
  • 18:06 - 18:13
    Now pay attention to what’s going to happen.
    If you do it right, the spirit leads the flesh,
  • 18:13 - 18:17
    takes away most of the turbulence, and it
    goes much farther.
  • 18:17 - 18:23
    Got the guy in the back row! So when I am
    up here with a whole pile of rubber bands,
  • 18:23 - 18:23
    ...
  • 18:23 - 18:28
    ... knowing I can hit anybody in the room,
    it gives you this feeling of power ...
  • 18:28 - 18:30
    ...that some kids really just don’t know how
    to handle; do you know what I’m talking about?
  • 18:30 - 18:34
    You are thinking about it right now, aren’t
    you? Yes, I thought so. Let’s give them a
  • 18:34 - 18:41
    hand; have a seat, guys. Thank you so much.
  • 18:41 - 18:45
    The Bible says, “the flesh lusteth against
    the Spirit, the Spirit against the flesh;
  • 18:45 - 18:47
    they are contrary one to the other.”
  • 18:47 - 18:51
    This is why some of you won’t go very far
    in your spiritual life. You feed the flesh
  • 18:51 - 18:52
    too much.
  • 18:52 - 18:57
    Shut off the TV once in a while...Simple.
    Wait until you see our super airplanes go.
  • 18:57 - 18:59
    Tomorrow we are going to show you our super
    airplanes.
  • 18:59 - 19:03
    I make paper airplanes that go so far, that
    if they don’t land in a tree or on a building,
  • 19:03 - 19:07
    they go all the way to the ground.
  • 19:07 - 19:09
    Our record with the paper airplane is 450
    feet.
  • 19:09 - 19:14
    We are going to put them completely over the
    building including the steeple, tomorrow.
  • 19:14 - 19:19
    We like science. We are not against science,
    but I am against poison mixed in with the
  • 19:19 - 19:22
    science, That’s all. Here is a first grade
    textbook.
  • 19:22 - 19:26
    This is what they tell the kids in the first
    grade. Earth has changed much since its formation
  • 19:26 - 19:31
    four and a half billion years ago. Now just
    hold on a minute.
  • 19:31 - 19:37
    Is the earth four and a half billion years
    old? No, as we’ll see in a minute. But if
  • 19:37 - 19:40
    you tell that to a first grader, he’s going
    to believe you.
  • 19:40 - 19:44
    First graders believe everything you tell
    them. They believe bananas are moldy spider
  • 19:44 - 19:46
    legs. I did.
  • 19:46 - 19:49
    And they tell them again in the second grade.
  • 19:49 - 19:55
    Since its formation 4.5 billion years ago,
    earth has changed. Down at the bottom it says:
  • 19:55 - 19:58
    “Life too, has evolved on earth.”
  • 19:58 - 20:00
    This word “evolved” is a very tricky word.
  • 20:00 - 20:05
    I’ve done over 90 debates and about 7,000
    radio and TV call-in talk shows, and I’ve
  • 20:05 - 20:08
    learned how to win the debate on evolution
    in the first five minutes.
  • 20:08 - 20:14
    It is so easy. If somebody says, “Do you believe
    in evolution?” I say, “What do you mean?”
  • 20:14 - 20:15
    “Well, you know, evolution.”
  • 20:15 - 20:19
    “No, which one are you talking about?” There
    are six meanings for the word. Are we talking
  • 20:19 - 20:23
    about cosmic evolution- evolution of time,
    space, matter? I don’t believe in that, with
  • 20:23 - 20:26
    the big bang. We’ll talk about that in a minute.
  • 20:26 - 20:30
    Are we talking about chemical evolution? Because
    according to the big bang theory, the big
  • 20:30 - 20:33
    bang produced hydrogen, and maybe some helium.
  • 20:33 - 20:38
    Then how did we get all these other elements?
    Do you want me to believe uranium evolved
  • 20:38 - 20:39
    from hydrogen?
  • 20:39 - 20:44
    They’ll say, well yes, you have fusion in
    stars. Yes, but you can’t fuse past IRON (Fe)
  • 20:44 - 20:44
    very well.
  • 20:44 - 20:48
    Besides, you have a chicken and an egg problem
    here, because the stars have to make the elements,
  • 20:48 - 20:51
    and the elements have to make the stars. Which
    one came first?
  • 20:51 - 20:55
    Which brings up, of course, stellar evolution.
    How did the stars form?
  • 20:55 - 20:58
    Did you know that nobody has ever seen a star
    form?
  • 20:58 - 21:03
    Scientists don’t even have a clue how a star
    could form- not even any good theories about
  • 21:03 - 21:06
    star formation (more about that in video #7).
  • 21:06 - 21:10
    We see stars blow up all the time. It’s called
    a nova, or a super nova if it is a big one.
  • 21:10 - 21:13
    That happens all the time. But we never see
    one form.
  • 21:13 - 21:17
    And yet there are enough stars out there that
    we know about that everybody on planet earth,
  • 21:17 - 21:24
    every single individual, can personally own
    11 trillion stars to themselves.
  • 21:25 - 21:29
    Those are the ones we know about. We don’t
    know about the ones that we don’t know about.
  • 21:29 - 21:34
    Fourthly, there would have to be organic evolution,
    origin of life. Life would have to be started
  • 21:34 - 21:35
    from non-living material.
  • 21:35 - 21:40
    Nobody has a clue how that could happen. Then
    we would have to have what’s called macroevolution.
  • 21:40 - 21:43
    That’s where an animal changes to a different
    kind of animal.
  • 21:43 - 21:49
    Did you know that nobody has ever seen a dog
    produce a non-dog? Never!
  • 21:49 - 21:54
    You may get a big dog, or a little dog, but
    you are going to get a dog every time. And
  • 21:54 - 21:57
    it could be that the dog, the wolf, and the
    coyote had a common ancestor.
  • 21:57 - 22:02
    I wouldn’t argue about that - they probably
    did. But every five-year-old kid knows they’re
  • 22:02 - 22:05
    the same kind of animal. I’ll show you.
  • 22:05 - 22:07
    Is anybody in here five or six? Who is five
    or six years old? Anybody?
  • 22:07 - 22:14
    OK. How old are you, buddy? Six? I want you
    to take a test.
  • 22:17 - 22:21
    Here we have a dog, a wolf, a coyote, and
    a banana.
  • 22:21 - 22:25
    Which one is different than the rest of them?
  • 22:25 - 22:30
    The banana! Give him a hand! All right, very
    good!
  • 22:30 - 22:34
    We have college professors that can’t figure
    that out! I’ll tell you want I want you to
  • 22:34 - 22:35
    do.
  • 22:34 - 22:37
    When we are done, I want you to go out to
    the table out in the hallway, and you can
  • 22:37 - 22:40
    pick out any free video or DVD you want, OK?
  • 22:40 - 22:43
    We’ve got a bunch of videos and DVDs about
    dinosaurs and stuff out there.
  • 22:43 - 22:49
    The Bible says the animals are going to bring
    forth after their kind. Now Charlie Darwin
  • 22:49 - 22:55
    wrote a book on the table down here called
    “Origin of Species.” See, the dog and the
  • 22:55 - 22:59
    wolf are the same kind of animal but different
    species.
  • 22:59 - 23:02
    He fooled everybody by changing the word from
    “kind” to “species.”
  • 23:02 - 23:08
    We’ll talk more about that in video #4. Lastly,
    we have what is called microevolution.
  • 23:08 - 23:12
    This is changes within the kinds. Now that
    one happens. I’ll go along with number six.
  • 23:12 - 23:16
    I think animals can produce a whole variety
    of offspring: long hair, short hair, long
  • 23:16 - 23:19
    legged, short legged; that happens.
  • 23:19 - 23:22
    But the first five are purely religious. That’s
    not science.
  • 23:22 - 23:26
    We never observe any of those! So if you want
    to win the debate on evolution, simply define
  • 23:26 - 23:29
    exactly what you are talking about.
  • 23:29 - 23:34
    And you’ll find all they ever give are examples
    of number six, which there is no argument
  • 23:34 - 23:35
    about. It happens.
  • 23:35 - 23:40
    But then they’ll imply that that is somehow,
    magically, evidence for the other five. And
  • 23:40 - 23:42
    it is not.
  • 23:42 - 23:45
    The teachers are taught though to be sure
    to stress to the students that the earth is
  • 23:45 - 23:47
    billions of years old.
  • 23:47 - 23:53
    Make sure the kids believe this. You know,
    I happen to be a little old fashioned.
  • 23:53 - 23:55
    I think in science class, we should be teaching
    science.
  • 23:55 - 24:00
    Science includes things we can observe, study,
    test, and demonstrate. Things like the first
  • 24:00 - 24:03
    law of thermodynamics.
  • 24:03 - 24:07
    The first law of thermodynamics tells us,
    “Matter cannot be created or destroyed.”
  • 24:07 - 24:12
    Well, everything is made out of matter; so
    if matter cannot be created or destroyed,
  • 24:12 - 24:14
    then how did the world get here?
  • 24:14 - 24:19
    We are here, you know. So that leaves only
    two choices.
  • 24:19 - 24:25
    Somebody made the world; or the world made
    itself. There is no other choice.
  • 24:25 - 24:29
    Well, there are a few out there on the lunatic
    fringe, who will tell you, “We are not really
  • 24:29 - 24:33
    here at all; we just think we are here.”
  • 24:33 - 24:36
    OK, you can forget about those folks. We are
    here.
  • 24:36 - 24:40
    So, either somebody made the world, like the
    Bible says, God created it; or the world just
  • 24:40 - 24:42
    made itself, like the humanists believe.
  • 24:42 - 24:47
    It just is self existing and not created.
    Well, if the world just made itself, how could
  • 24:47 - 24:49
    this happen?
  • 24:49 - 24:52
    Boy, the devil thought about that for a long
    time. Finally, one day, he came up with the
  • 24:52 - 24:54
    big bang theory.
  • 24:54 - 24:57
    How many of you have ever heard of the big
    bang theory before?
  • 24:57 - 25:01
    I was on an airplane years ago, flying from
    Dallas to San Francisco. And I happened to
  • 25:01 - 25:03
    sit right next to a professor from Berkeley,
    U Cal Berkeley.
  • 25:03 - 25:08
    I don’t know if you folks in Knoxville have
    ever heard of Berkeley or not, but Berkeley
  • 25:08 - 25:11
    is not a Bible college.
  • 25:11 - 25:16
    So here I was on the airplane about that far
    away from this guy, and we started talking
  • 25:16 - 25:19
    about creation and evolution.
  • 25:19 - 25:24
    Everybody I sit by on the airplane wants to
    talk about that, so I talk about it with them.
  • 25:24 - 25:27
    He said he believed in evolution. I said,
    “Yes, sir, I figured that; you have to if
  • 25:27 - 25:28
    you teach at Berkeley.”
  • 25:28 - 25:31
    I said, “Tell me, sir, if you believe in evolution,
    how did the world get here?”
  • 25:31 - 25:37
    He said, “Oh, it came from the big bang.”
    I said, “Really? I’d like to hear about this!”
  • 25:37 - 25:40
    He said, “You are a science teacher and you
    have never heard of the big bang?”
  • 25:40 - 25:45
    I said, “Oh, yes sir, I’ve heard a lot about
    the big bang, and I believe in the big bang.
  • 25:45 - 25:47
    But my big bang is a lot different than yours.”
  • 25:47 - 25:51
    I said, “You tell me about your big bang,
    and then I’ll tell you about my big bang.”
  • 25:51 - 25:55
    And so, the professor took off on one of those
    answers that looked like it came straight
  • 25:55 - 25:56
    from the textbook.
  • 25:56 - 26:03
    He said, “Well, Mr. Hovind, I believe about
    18 to 20 billion years ago...” (that’s a long
  • 26:04 - 26:04
    time)
  • 26:04 - 26:10
    “...all the matter in the universe...” (that’s
    a lot of stuff)
  • 26:10 - 26:14
    By the way, the word “universe” comes from
    two Latin words: “uni,” which means single,
  • 26:14 - 26:17
    and “verse” which means a spoken sentence.
  • 26:17 - 26:23
    Did you know we live in a single spoken sentence?
    God said, “Let there be....” That’ll preach.
  • 26:23 - 26:28
    There is a sermon someplace right there, OK?
    And if your pastor can’t find it, he’s got
  • 26:28 - 26:29
    no preaching in him at all!
  • 26:29 - 26:35
    “All the matter in the uni-verse was concentrated
    into one very dense, very hot region, that
  • 26:35 - 26:42
    may have been much smaller than a period on
    this page.” Say what?
  • 26:44 - 26:48
    Everything in the universe squished into a
    dot smaller than a period on a page?
  • 26:48 - 26:53
    Wow! That’s one crowded dot. And heavy, too.
  • 26:53 - 26:56
    But that’s not the first time this happened,
    boys and girls.
  • 26:56 - 27:00
    This textbook says: “Some day, after many
    billions of years, all the matter and energy
  • 27:00 - 27:05
    will once again be packed into a small area
    no larger than the period at the end of this
  • 27:05 - 27:07
    sentence. Then another big bang will occur.”
  • 27:07 - 27:14
    “It happens every 80 to 100 billion years.”
    Can you believe they cut down a tree to print
  • 27:14 - 27:17
    that?
  • 27:17 - 27:24
    Where is Al Gore when you need him? That’s
    what I want to know, yeah!
  • 27:24 - 27:29
    And why did you guys send Al Gore to Washington?
    You had him here, you know.
  • 27:29 - 27:33
    Now, this textbook author was brilliant. I
    could not believe how smart this guy was.
  • 27:33 - 27:40
    He said, “Boys and girls, nothing really means
    nothing.” You have to be at least that smart
  • 27:40 - 27:42
    to write a book.
  • 27:42 - 27:46
    He said, “Not only matter and energy would
    disappear, but also space and time.
  • 27:46 - 27:51
    However, physicists theorize that from this
    state of nothingness, the universe began in
  • 27:51 - 27:54
    a gigantic explosion.” What?
  • 27:54 - 28:01
    Yes, boys and girls, you see, one day, nothing
    exploded...
  • 28:02 - 28:09
    ...And here we are! We can spend three days
    talking about the big bang theory.
  • 28:09 - 28:12
    They used to say that the thing that exploded
    was a few light-years in diameter. Then they
  • 28:12 - 28:17
    said, “Oh no, it’s only 275 million miles.”
    And then they said, “It’s only 71 million
  • 28:17 - 28:18
    miles.”
  • 28:18 - 28:23
    They keep getting it smaller, and now they
    are saying “nothing” exploded.
  • 28:23 - 28:26
    A couple years ago “Discover Magazine” here
    said, “Where did everything come from?”
  • 28:26 - 28:32
    “Boys and girls, the universe burst into something
    from absolutely nothing - zero, nada.
  • 28:32 - 28:36
    As it got bigger, it became filled with even
    more stuff that came from absolutely nowhere.
  • 28:36 - 28:38
    How is that possible? Ask Alan Guth.
  • 28:38 - 28:43
    His theory will explain everything.” Wow,
    I’ve got to meet this Alan Guth guy.
  • 28:43 - 28:48
    Alan Guth said in “Scientific American,” “The
    observable universe could have evolved from
  • 28:48 - 28:53
    an infinitesimal region.” (In the Hebrew,
    that’s “a dot.”)
  • 28:53 - 28:57
    He said, “It’s then tempting to go one step
    further and speculate that the entire universe
  • 28:57 - 29:02
    evolved from literally nothing.” You see,
    boys and girls, we all came from a dot and
  • 29:02 - 29:04
    the dot came from nothing.
  • 29:04 - 29:08
    And they call that science, and put it in
    a science journal?
  • 29:08 - 29:13
    I think I’d call that a fairy tale and put
    it in the garbage.
  • 29:13 - 29:17
    I said, “Professor, what happened to your
    dot?”
  • 29:17 - 29:20
    He said, “Hovind, 20 billion years ago all
    the dirt in the solar system was drawn into
  • 29:20 - 29:22
    this little, bitty, tiny dot.
  • 29:22 - 29:28
    And it was spinning. It spun faster, and faster,
    and all of a sudden, it exploded: big bang!
  • 29:28 - 29:33
    And the pieces that flew off became galaxies,
    and sun, moon, stars, and here we are. People.”
  • 29:33 - 29:34
    Nothing but stardust.
  • 29:34 - 29:37
    I said, “Sir, can I ask you a couple of questions,
    please?”
  • 29:37 - 29:40
    He said, “Sure, what do you want to know?”
  • 29:40 - 29:44
    You know, we’ve got a three-hour flight sitting
    this far away from each other on the airplane.
  • 29:44 - 29:47
    I said, “Well sir, I’ve got a question. You
    said that 20 billion years ago, all the dirt
  • 29:47 - 29:52
    got together for a big squish, a big spin,
    and a big bang. Where did all the dirt come
  • 29:52 - 29:56
    from?” You know, who made matter? He said,
    “We don’t know.”
  • 29:56 - 30:01
    I said, “OK now sir, hold it. If I told you
    what I believe, that about 6,000 years ago
  • 30:01 - 30:05
    God created the heaven and the earth, then
    you are going to say, ‘and where did God come
  • 30:05 - 30:07
    from?’ And I have no idea.”
  • 30:07 - 30:11
    But you said, 20 billion years ago there was
    a big bang; and you don’t know where the dirt
  • 30:11 - 30:12
    came from.
  • 30:12 - 30:17
    So basically, I believe: “In the beginning,
    God”; and you believe: “In the beginning,
  • 30:17 - 30:18
    dirt.”
  • 30:18 - 30:24
    Don’t tell me my theory is religious, and
    your theory is scientific. No, no, no!
  • 30:24 - 30:28
    They are both religious. The news media tries
    to make it look like it is science versus
  • 30:28 - 30:30
    religion.
  • 30:30 - 30:33
    It’s not science versus religion; these are
    two religions.
  • 30:33 - 30:35
    Evolution and creation are both religious.
  • 30:35 - 30:39
    You have to believe in one or the other.
  • 30:39 - 30:43
    The difference is the evolution religion is
    tax supported.
  • 30:43 - 30:45
    That’s the difference - one of many differences.
  • 30:45 - 30:48
    By the way, these two time lines are the same
    thing right here, behind me.
  • 30:48 - 30:52
    On the top time line, every inch represents
    150 years.
  • 30:52 - 30:58
    Abe Lincoln was not even president one inch
    ago.
  • 30:58 - 31:02
    If I was to show you what 20 billion years
    looks like at the same scale as the top chart...
  • 31:02 - 31:05
    (...I have to have this chart on the bottom
    to be this scale...)
  • 31:05 - 31:09
    ...This one would have to be 2,100 miles long.
  • 31:09 - 31:12
    That’s from Pensacola to Portland, Oregon.
  • 31:12 - 31:16
    I don’t want to carry a chart that big, so
    I made a new scale for the other one.
  • 31:16 - 31:18
    The professor said that he did not know where
    the matter came from.
  • 31:18 - 31:20
    So I said, “Sir, can you tell me where the
    laws came from?”
  • 31:20 - 31:26
    This universe is run by laws. Gravity, centrifugal
    force, inertia, Boyle’s law, Cole’s law (You
  • 31:26 - 31:27
    can eat that with potato salad).
  • 31:27 - 31:31
    There are all kinds of laws in the universe.
    Where did the laws come from?
  • 31:31 - 31:35
    And by the way, why aren’t the laws still
    evolving? Do you ever think about that?
  • 31:35 - 31:40
    Why is gravity always the same? Why don’t
    you weigh 10 pounds more one day? (You say,
  • 31:40 - 31:41
    “I do!”
  • 31:41 - 31:47
    Well, that’s for a different reason.) Where
    did the energy come from? Who bought the gas
  • 31:47 - 31:49
    to run this machine?
  • 31:49 - 31:53
    The professor said, “I don’t know; we don’t
    know any of those things.” I said, “Can I
  • 31:53 - 31:54
    ask you another question?”
  • 31:54 - 31:58
    He said, “Sure. What else would you like to
    know?”
  • 31:58 - 32:02
    Else? What do you mean, what else? you haven’t
    told me anything yet.
  • 32:02 - 32:06
    I said, “Sir, does Berkeley have a merry-go-round?”
  • 32:06 - 32:09
    How many of you know what a merry-go-round
    is? You go round and round, until you throw
  • 32:09 - 32:09
    up.
  • 32:09 - 32:13
    He said, “No, we don’t have a merry-go-round
    at Berkeley.”
  • 32:13 - 32:14
    I said, “You really ought to get one.
  • 32:14 - 32:17
    You could learn some good science on a merry-go-round.”
  • 32:17 - 32:20
    If you put some fourth graders on there...
    Any fourth graders in here?
  • 32:20 - 32:22
    Last year or next year fourth graders. I know
    it’s summertime here.
  • 32:22 - 32:26
    All right! I like fourth graders; I spent
    the best five years of my life in a fourth
  • 32:26 - 32:27
    grade.
  • 32:27 - 32:32
    (That was before they diagnosed ADD. By the
    time my brother was in the fourth grade, we
  • 32:32 - 32:36
    all knew what he was going to be when he finished
    high school - 32!)
  • 32:36 - 32:41
    Well, we are going to put some fourth graders
    on a merry-go-round and get the high school
  • 32:41 - 32:46
    football team out there to get it spinning
    clockwise, as fast as it will possibly go.
  • 32:46 - 32:52
    Now if you have a digital watch, you may not
    know what clockwise means. ...I’ll tell you
  • 32:52 - 32:52
    later.
  • 32:52 - 32:56
    We are going to spin the merry-go-round clockwise,
    and the kids are going to go through four
  • 32:56 - 32:57
    phases.
  • 32:57 - 33:00
    They start off in phase one, where they’re
    screaming at the football players, “Come on,
  • 33:00 - 33:03
    let’s go faster! Faster! Can’t you go any
    faster?”
  • 33:03 - 33:06
    You get up around 30 miles an hour, and the
    kids enter phase two, where they stop screaming.
  • 33:06 - 33:10
    They just quietly concentrate on trying to
    hang on for dear life.
  • 33:10 - 33:17
    When you get up around 60 miles an hour, the
    kids enter phase three, where they start screaming
  • 33:17 - 33:21
    again, but now they are screaming, “Stop!
    Stop! Please slow down!” Don’t stop though;
  • 33:21 - 33:23
    keep going faster and faster.
  • 33:23 - 33:28
    When you get to 100 miles an hour, you enter
    phase four where the kids begin to fly off
  • 33:28 - 33:33
    the merry-go-round. Now when this happens,
    you will notice a very interesting phenomenon
  • 33:33 - 33:34
    of physics.
  • 33:34 - 33:41
    If the merry-go-round is going clockwise when
    the kid flies off, the kid will be spinning
  • 33:41 - 33:43
    clockwise.
  • 33:43 - 33:47
    Until he encounters resistance, like a tree
    or a pole.
  • 33:47 - 33:50
    That’s because of a law in physics known as
    the conservation of angular momentum.
  • 33:50 - 33:55
    See, if a spinning object breaks apart, the
    pieces that fly off are going to spin the
  • 33:55 - 34:01
    same direction, because the outside is moving
    faster than the inside.
  • 34:01 - 34:04
    And we can talk all day about the conservation
    laws if you’d like, but the professor said,
  • 34:04 - 34:06
    “Yes, I know about the conservation laws.”
  • 34:06 - 34:10
    I said, “Well good, sir, then let me ask you
    a question. If the universe began as a spinning
  • 34:10 - 34:14
    dot like you said, why do two planets spin
    backwards, and probably three?”
  • 34:14 - 34:21
    He got real quiet, a puzzled look on his face.
    I said, “Sir, why do eight out of ninety-one
  • 34:21 - 34:23
    known moons spin backwards?
  • 34:23 - 34:30
    Why do Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune have moons
    going both directions at the same time?
  • 34:33 - 34:38
    Why is the Sun 98% hydrogen and helium, but
    the other planets are less than 1% hydrogen
  • 34:38 - 34:40
    and helium?
  • 34:40 - 34:43
    And why are these nine planets so different
    from each other? If they all came from the
  • 34:43 - 34:47
    big bang, why are they all so different?
  • 34:47 - 34:48
    Very different compositions!
  • 34:48 - 34:52
    And why do some whole galaxies spin backwards?”
  • 34:52 - 34:55
    CNN did an article, “Goofy galaxy spins in
    wrong direction.”
  • 34:55 - 35:01
    I said, “Sir, why are these things going backwards?”
  • 35:01 - 35:03
    He said, “I don’t know.
  • 35:03 - 35:06
    Why do you think they are going backwards?”
  • 35:06 - 35:08
    I was hoping he was going to ask that.
  • 35:08 - 35:10
    I said, “Sir, it’s really simple.
  • 35:10 - 35:13
    You see, ‘In the beginning God created the
    heaven and the earth,’ and God did it that
  • 35:13 - 35:16
    way on purpose, just to make the big bang
    theory look stupid.”
  • 35:16 - 35:23
    Yes, amen.
  • 35:24 - 35:31
    Now, I do believe in the big bang, because
    the Bible teaches the big bang.
  • 35:31 - 35:35
    It says, “The heavens shall pass away with
    a great noise.” In the original Greek, that’s
  • 35:35 - 35:36
    a big bang!
  • 35:36 - 35:41
    So there is going to be a big bang. It just
    didn’t happen yet, OK?
  • 35:41 - 35:45
    So kids, if you go to school, and some professor
    says, “Hey, do you believe in the big bang?”
  • 35:45 - 35:48
    You should say, “Yes I do, and you’d better
    get saved and get ready for it.”
  • 35:48 - 35:52
    The big bang is coming soon to a city near
    you.
  • 35:52 - 35:56
    By the way, if the world came from a big bang
    and slowly evolved over billions of years,
  • 35:56 - 35:58
    why did Jesus die on the cross?
  • 35:58 - 36:00
    What’s the purpose of the death of Christ?
  • 36:00 - 36:04
    And when the Bible says God is going to restore
    the world like it used to be ...
  • 36:04 - 36:08
    Restore it to what? More death and suffering?
  • 36:08 - 36:12
    We cover more on that theistic evolution position
    in video #7.
  • 36:12 - 36:16
    The big bang theory is ludicrous for numerous
    reasons, OK? If the big bang theory were true,
  • 36:16 - 36:20
    then matter would be evenly distributed. But
    it’s not.
  • 36:20 - 36:25
    Serious, serious problems with the big bang
    theory! Even Fred Hoyle said, “I have little
  • 36:25 - 36:28
    hesitation in saying that a sickly pall hangs
    over the big bang theory.”
  • 36:28 - 36:34
    Get more on that in the book, “Evolution Cruncher.”
    It’s a 900-page book; it’s only $5.00. It’s
  • 36:34 - 36:37
    an excellent book to give away to every kid
    in your high school.
  • 36:37 - 36:41
    The second law of thermodynamics tells us,
    “Everything tends toward disorder.”
  • 36:41 - 36:47
    If you leave something alone for awhile, it’s
    going to rot, rust, die, fall apart, or break
  • 36:47 - 36:47
    down.
  • 36:47 - 36:51
    Nothing gets better by itself. That’s what
    the Bible teaches. “The heavens are the works
  • 36:51 - 36:55
    of thine hands: they shall perish;...they
    wax old as doth a garment.”
  • 36:55 - 36:59
    Nothing gets better by itself. Take a look
    at your hairdo when you wake up in the morning.
  • 36:59 - 37:05
    You’ll see exactly what I am talking about.
    Everything tends towards chaos, all right?
  • 37:05 - 37:12
    Here is Sue at 20. Here she is at 90. And
    here she is at 3,000. Everything tends toward
  • 37:16 - 37:19
    chaos, folks, all right?
  • 37:19 - 37:23
    All you have to do is nothing, and everything
    deteriorates, collapses, breaks down, wears
  • 37:23 - 37:23
    out.
  • 37:23 - 37:27
    That’s what the second law is all about. Everything
    is getting worse.
  • 37:27 - 37:32
    Nothing is getting better. But the textbook
    says, “Humans probably evolved from bacteria
  • 37:32 - 37:35
    more than 4 billion years ago.”
  • 37:35 - 37:39
    Was your great-great-great-great-great-great-grandpa
    bacteria?
  • 37:39 - 37:44
    Evolutionists will say, “Well, Hovind, don’t
    you know that if you add energy, you can overcome
  • 37:44 - 37:46
    the second law of thermodynamics?
  • 37:46 - 37:50
    And the earth receives energy from the sun,
    so the earth is an open system. That’s how
  • 37:50 - 37:52
    we overcome the law.”
  • 37:52 - 37:56
    I understand the argument, but they are missing
    the point. Number one: the universe is a closed
  • 37:56 - 37:56
    system.
  • 37:56 - 38:00
    Number two: adding energy is destructive,
    unless there is a special mechanism to use
  • 38:00 - 38:02
    and harness the energy.
  • 38:02 - 38:07
    See, the Japanese added a bunch of energy
    to Pearl Harbor one day. They didn’t organize
  • 38:07 - 38:09
    a thing for us, did they?
  • 38:09 - 38:15
    So a few years later, we added some energy
    to a few of their cities - returned the favor.
  • 38:15 - 38:18
    Didn’t organize any thing for them. Adding
    energy is destructive.
  • 38:18 - 38:22
    The sun adds energy to the roof of your house;
    but it’s going to destroy your house.
  • 38:22 - 38:24
    The sun’s energy will destroy the entire house.
  • 38:24 - 38:29
    The sun’s energy will destroy the roof on
    your car. It will destroy your upholstery.
  • 38:29 - 38:31
    The sun’s energy will destroy your paint job.
  • 38:31 - 38:37
    There is only one thing that can actually
    use the sun’s energy: chlorophyll.
  • 38:37 - 38:39
    And one little plant cell is more complex
    than a space shuttle.
  • 38:39 - 38:42
    We cover more on that in video #4.
  • 38:42 - 38:47
    Evolution violates the second law, and evolution
    is wrong, OK?
  • 38:47 - 38:52
    This textbook shows the kids a fossil starfish
    and says, “3.4 billion years old... the remains
  • 38:52 - 38:57
    of an early ancestor of modern human beings.”
  • 38:57 - 39:01
    Was your great-great-great-great-great-great-grandpa
    a starfish?
  • 39:01 - 39:08
    How about “Discover Magazine,” November 2004?
    Was your ancestor a sea sponge? This is your
  • 39:10 - 39:17
    ancestor. Wow, who’s your Daddy?
  • 39:17 - 39:24
    Now, please don’t laugh at this next picture,
    OK?
  • 39:24 - 39:29
    This is going to be a picture of my brother
    when he first wakes up in the morning, after
  • 39:29 - 39:32
    his first cup of coffee, which apparently
    was a little too strong.
  • 39:32 - 39:34
    By the way, I’ve got to warn these kids.
  • 39:34 - 39:41
    Kids, listen carefully. Do not drink coffee!
    Because if you drink coffee when you are young,
  • 39:41 - 39:48
    when you get married, your babies will be
    born naked and illiterate.
  • 39:48 - 39:54
    And tea is worse. There was an Indian once,
    who drank four gallons of iced tea.
  • 39:54 - 40:00
    That night, he drowned in his teepee. Be careful
    with that stuff; it’s deadly.
  • 40:00 - 40:06
    Anyway, this is going to be my brother, please
    don’t laugh- he can’t help it. There he is!
  • 40:06 - 40:12
    Notice what the textbook says, “30 million
    years ago...” Now kids, let me translate that
  • 40:12 - 40:13
    for you.
  • 40:13 - 40:19
    Anytime the textbook says, “million of years
    ago,” what it means is: long ago, and far
  • 40:19 - 40:20
    away.
  • 40:20 - 40:25
    It means a fairy tale is coming next, OK?
    That’s your warning, a fairy tale is coming
  • 40:25 - 40:26
    up.
  • 40:26 - 40:30
    “Thirty million years ago these critters evolved.”
    There’s that word again, you’ve got to watch
  • 40:30 - 40:31
    that.
  • 40:31 - 40:38
    It says, “they are ancestral to both humans
    and modern apes.” Ancestors to humans?
  • 40:38 - 40:45
    Grandpa? “What big eyes you have, grandpa!”
    “All The better to see you with, my boy.”
  • 40:49 - 40:52
    You know, we’ve been teaching kids they are
    nothing but an animal. And today a lot of
  • 40:52 - 40:54
    them act like animals.
  • 40:54 - 40:59
    Even Barbara Reynolds figured it out. “Your
    kids go ape in school?” Here’s why- he’s being
  • 40:59 - 41:01
    taught evolution.
  • 41:01 - 41:06
    “Guess what, Johnny, you are an animal and
    share a common heritage with earthworms.”
  • 41:06 - 41:10
    “Ha, ha, you mean I’m just an animal? OK.”
  • 41:10 - 41:16
    Have you ever stopped and thought, that possibly
    what we are teaching the kids is affecting
  • 41:16 - 41:17
    how they behave?
  • 41:17 - 41:24
    What you believe determines how you behave.
    Kids are taught today that you are just an
  • 41:24 - 41:25
    animal.
  • 41:25 - 41:29
    The rock music these days is all full of death
    and destruction and blood. Well, the Bible
  • 41:29 - 41:35
    says, “They that hate me love death!” Kids
    are taught today, “There are no absolutes.”
  • 41:35 - 41:40
    I was in a debate one time, and this professor
    said, “Hovind, there are no absolutes!”
  • 41:40 - 41:46
    I said, “Are you absolutely sure?” Blew his
    little brain!
  • 41:46 - 41:49
    “Now, hold on a minute, how can I be absolutely
    sure, when there are no absolutes?”
  • 41:49 - 41:52
    I was speaking in a public school in Pennsylvania
    a couple of years ago, and this kid sat on
  • 41:52 - 41:53
    the second row.
  • 41:53 - 41:57
    He said, “Hovind, I am an atheist. There is
    no God.” I said, “Are you sure?”
  • 41:57 - 42:00
    He said, “I am sure.” I said, “Let me ask
    you a question, son.”
  • 42:00 - 42:04
    I said, “Do you know everything?” He said,
    “Oh, no...no.”
  • 42:04 - 42:11
    I said, “Well, OK, good. Do you think maybe
    you know half of everything?” He said, “No...”
  • 42:11 - 42:17
    Well, let’s pretend for a few minutes that
    you know half of everything.
  • 42:17 - 42:23
    Would it be possible then for God to exist
    in the other half that you don’t know? Brand
  • 42:23 - 42:27
    new thought - rattled around in his brain
    for awhile and got lost, I’m sure!
  • 42:27 - 42:31
    I said, “And by the way son, if you’re an
    atheist, let me ask you a simple question.
  • 42:31 - 42:35
    How do you tell right from wrong?”
  • 42:35 - 42:37
    Ask an atheist that question some time.
  • 42:37 - 42:40
    How do you tell right from wrong?
  • 42:40 - 42:45
    He said, “That’s easy ... I decide what’s
    right and wrong.”
  • 42:45 - 42:48
    He said, “I am the god of my own universe.”
  • 42:48 - 42:52
    I said, “I am glad to hear about that, son,
    because I am going to shoot you in five minutes.”
  • 42:52 - 42:54
    He said, “You can’t do that.”
  • 42:54 - 43:00
    I said, “Oh yes I can! You see, I am the god
    of my own universe, and I decided it’s fine
  • 43:00 - 43:03
    for me to shoot you.”
  • 43:03 - 43:07
    You see where that logic would lead in a hurry
    if “every man did that which was right in
  • 43:07 - 43:14
    his own eyes” like the book of Judges says.
    Serious problems for society - big time! How
  • 43:14 - 43:15
    do you tell right from wrong?
  • 43:15 - 43:20
    A simple question to ask an evolutionist.
    They don’t have a way to tell.
  • 43:20 - 43:24
    Maybe Osama bin Laden should decide right
    from wrong. Maybe Bill Clinton should decide
  • 43:24 - 43:25
    right from wrong.
  • 43:25 - 43:31
    If he has any idea where to find it! I mean,
    how do you tell right from wrong? Simple!
  • 43:31 - 43:34
    It’s real easy to tell right from wrong-
  • 43:34 - 43:39
    “Thus saith the Lord.” Now you see, that is
    absolute.
  • 43:39 - 43:43
    And the Lord said, “Ye shall not make any
    cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print
  • 43:43 - 43:46
    any marks upon you.”
  • 43:46 - 43:51
    Some people either don’t know what God says,
    or maybe they just don’t care what God says.
  • 43:51 - 43:57
    But God says don’t do that, OK? Now, if you
    did it in the past, you could just say, “God,
  • 43:57 - 44:00
    I’m sorry,” and not do it again.
  • 44:00 - 44:01
    A lot of teachers don’t seem to understand.
  • 44:01 - 44:05
    They just blindly follow the textbook and
    think that they have to teach this evolution
  • 44:05 - 44:06
    theory.
  • 44:06 - 44:11
    No, you don’t have to teach this evolution
    theory! Teachers can teach creation in public
  • 44:11 - 44:12
    schools if they want.
  • 44:12 - 44:15
    We’ve got a video tape called: “The Public
    School Presentation” which deals with all
  • 44:15 - 44:20
    the laws about teaching creation in public
    schools.
  • 44:20 - 44:26
    What happened was, Arkansas and Louisiana
    passed laws to require that creation be taught.
  • 44:26 - 44:31
    The court struck it down in both cases. They
    said, “You cannot be required to teach creation.”
  • 44:31 - 44:35
    They said, “The teachers can teach it if they
    want, but it has to be voluntary on the teacher’s
  • 44:35 - 44:36
    part.”
  • 44:36 - 44:40
    Even Stephen Gould said, “No statute exists
    in any state to bar instruction in ‘creation
  • 44:40 - 44:41
    science.’”
  • 44:41 - 44:46
    It could be taught before, and it can be taught
    now. He was commenting on the 1987 Supreme
  • 44:46 - 44:47
    Court decision.
  • 44:46 - 44:53
    The ACLU, “the American Communist Lawyers’
    Union,” have tried really hard to spread the
  • 44:54 - 44:57
    propaganda around that you cannot talk about
    creation in the public schools. And that’s
  • 44:57 - 44:59
    just simply not true.
  • 44:59 - 45:02
    It’s always been perfectly fine to teach creation
    in the public schools. There’s never been
  • 45:02 - 45:05
    a law against that, OK?
  • 45:05 - 45:09
    But if a teacher gets up in front of the class
    and says, “OK kids, listen, you started off
  • 45:09 - 45:13
    like a slime, and you slowly evolved to a
    human.”
  • 45:13 - 45:17
    You don’t need to be a genius to figure out
    that teaching will destroy some kid’s faith
  • 45:17 - 45:19
    in the Bible.
  • 45:19 - 45:23
    And anybody that destroys a child’s faith,
    better read what Jesus said about that.
  • 45:23 - 45:27
    He said, “Whoso shall offend one of these
    little ones which believe in me, it were better
  • 45:27 - 45:29
    for him that a millstone were hanged about
    his neck...
  • 45:29 - 45:33
    And that he were drowned in the depth of the
    sea.” Anybody that teaches evolution is in
  • 45:33 - 45:37
    trouble when they stand before God. The Bible
    says, “Be not many masters, knowing that we
  • 45:37 - 45:40
    shall receive the greater condemnation.”
  • 45:40 - 45:46
    It’s interesting, though, what happened. Back
    in the 1950s, the average textbook in America
  • 45:46 - 45:49
    had very little evolution - two or three thousand
    words was all.
  • 45:49 - 45:56
    But in 1957, the Russians beat us in the space
    race by launching Sputnik and Americans panicked.
  • 45:57 - 45:59
    How many of you are old enough to remember
    the panic in America when the Russians were
  • 45:59 - 46:01
    winning the space race?
  • 46:01 - 46:05
    They had articles in “Life Magazine” like,
    “How You can Survive Fallout.”
  • 46:05 - 46:11
    They said, “The Soviets are ahead of us in
    science, because the Soviets teach evolution.
  • 46:11 - 46:16
    We don’t teach it in our schools.” They had
    articles on how to build your own bomb shelter.
  • 46:16 - 46:19
    People were building them in their back yards
    to survive nuclear fallout.
  • 46:19 - 46:25
    Wait a minute; the Soviets are ahead in science
    because they teach evolution?
  • 46:25 - 46:28
    What does evolution have to do with putting
    up a satellite?
  • 46:28 - 46:34
    Then, in 1959 it was the hundred-year anniversary
    of Darwin’s book coming out.
  • 46:34 - 46:40
    And in 1959, Eisenhower asked congress for
    a billion dollars to push more evolution into
  • 46:40 - 46:41
    the school system.
  • 46:41 - 46:43
    And he got it.
  • 46:43 - 46:49
    American textbooks were rewritten in the late
    50s and early 60s to include more evolution.
  • 46:49 - 46:55
    They called it “the cold war reconstruction
    of American science education.”
  • 46:55 - 47:00
    Our whole science curriculum and other curriculums
    were rewritten to make sure evolution was
  • 47:00 - 47:02
    taught.
  • 47:02 - 47:07
    And by 1963 the average textbook had 33,000
    words about evolution.
  • 47:07 - 47:12
    By 1963, prayer was taken out of our school
    system.
  • 47:12 - 47:14
    Anybody remember that? Madeline Murray O’Hare?
  • 47:14 - 47:21
    By 1963 we saw a great rise in pre-marital
    sex for every single age bracket. We saw a
  • 47:21 - 47:25
    great rise in sexually transmitted diseases
    for ten- to fourteen-year-olds.
  • 47:25 - 47:32
    We saw a great rise in unwed birth rates - a
    550% increase in pregnancies.
  • 47:33 - 47:36
    The difference is being aborted.
  • 47:36 - 47:39
    Now one third of all the kids born in the
    hospitals are born to a couple that are not
  • 47:39 - 47:41
    married. One third of them.
  • 47:41 - 47:48
    Illegitimate children. Now listen carefully.
    If you are one of those, this is for you.
  • 47:48 - 47:50
    Timothy was a “half-breed” that never should
    have been born.
  • 47:50 - 47:54
    Timothy’s mommy was Jewish, his daddy was
    Greek. The Jews weren’t supposed to marry
  • 47:54 - 47:56
    anybody but Jews.
  • 47:56 - 48:00
    Mama disobeyed; Timothy was the result. But
    he wanted to serve God, and God said, “I’ll
  • 48:00 - 48:03
    take you, son.” He wrote two books in the
    Bible.
  • 48:03 - 48:07
    So if your parents messed up, you shut your
    mouth- quit whining, and go serve God with
  • 48:07 - 48:08
    your life, OK?
  • 48:08 - 48:12
    There are no excuses. God will use anybody,
    OK?
  • 48:12 - 48:18
    The number of unmarried couples living together
    has increased radically since 1963. God’s
  • 48:18 - 48:21
    Word hasn’t changed. He said, “Thou shalt
    not commit adultery.”
  • 48:21 - 48:26
    He said, “Whoremongers and adulterers God
    will judge.” Jesus said, “If you even look
  • 48:26 - 48:30
    and lust, you have committed adultery already
    in your heart.”
  • 48:30 - 48:34
    By the way, ladies, that’s why it’s important
    how you dress.
  • 48:34 - 48:39
    My daddy always said, “If you’re not in business,
    don’t advertise.”
  • 48:39 - 48:46
    Divorce rates have gone crazy in this country.
    Child abuse is up 2,300%. Illegal drugs are
  • 48:47 - 48:51
    up 6,000% . Violent crimes are up nearly 1000%.
  • 48:51 - 48:57
    I am not that old, but I remember the days
    when you did not have to lock your house.
  • 48:57 - 49:00
    Anybody remember those days?
  • 49:00 - 49:02
    And you left the keys in the ignition all
    the time. You never took them out, because
  • 49:02 - 49:03
    you might lose them.
  • 49:03 - 49:07
    And you go up to t the average high school
    and half of the pickup trucks in the parking
  • 49:07 - 49:10
    lot had a loaded rifle hanging in the back
    window.
  • 49:10 - 49:15
    And nobody got shot in school in those days,
    did they? You probably didn’t hear about this,
  • 49:15 - 49:19
    but the kids at Columbine High School that
    shot everybody were very strong believers
  • 49:19 - 49:21
    in evolution.
  • 49:21 - 49:24
    They did the shooting on Hitler’s birthday,
    on purpose.
  • 49:24 - 49:28
    They shot Isaiah Shoels just because he was
    black.
  • 49:28 - 49:32
    Hitler hated black people; so did they. This
    was evolution-motivated shooting.
  • 49:32 - 49:38
    And right after the shooting, Rosie O’Donnell
    got on her TV program and said, “See, we need
  • 49:38 - 49:39
    more gun control.”
  • 49:39 - 49:46
    Rosie, those kids broke 18 gun laws going
    into that school. I don’t think two more gun
  • 49:46 - 49:48
    laws would have slowed them down.
  • 49:48 - 49:52
    See, Rosie can’t figure it out; but one guy
    figured out the whole thing and put it on
  • 49:52 - 49:58
    the spare tire cover on his van. I saw that;
    I said, “Man, I’ve got to get a picture of
  • 49:58 - 50:01
    this!” This explains everything.
  • 50:01 - 50:08
    He said, “Blaming guns for Columbine is like
    blaming spoons for Rosie O’Donnell being fat.”
  • 50:12 - 50:17
    It’s not the spoon’s fault, Rosie! And it’s
    not the guns’ fault, either. Yeah, blame the
  • 50:17 - 50:21
    gun - that’s brilliant! SAT scores have plummeted
    since 1963.
  • 50:21 - 50:25
    Twice in the last forty years they have dumbed
    down the test.
  • 50:25 - 50:31
    They made the test dumber, so the scores would
    go back up. Teen suicide rates have gone crazy.
  • 50:31 - 50:36
    Now, if I told you that if you kissed a frog,
    it would turn to a prince, what would you
  • 50:36 - 50:37
    say?
  • 50:37 - 50:40
    You would say, “No, frogs don’t turn into
    princes.”
  • 50:40 - 50:43
    How many of you ladies got your husband by
    kissing a frog?
  • 50:43 - 50:47
    Come on, let’s see. Looks like only about
    three.
  • 50:47 - 50:50
    See, it doesn’t happen very often; but in
    the textbooks it does.
  • 50:50 - 50:57
    We started off like an amoeba and slowly evolved
    into a frog and very slowly became a prince.
  • 50:58 - 51:05
    It’s the same fairy tale. See, if the frog
    turns into a prince quickly, we all know it’s
  • 51:05 - 51:06
    a fairy tale.
  • 51:06 - 51:11
    But if the frog turns into a prince slowly,
    now then, that’s modern science.
  • 51:11 - 51:18
    No, I’m sorry, that’s still a fairy tale - even
    more of a fairy tale.
  • 51:18 - 51:20
    The difference is not a kiss. That won’t do
    it anymore.
  • 51:20 - 51:23
    Today, boys and girls, if you want to turn
    your frog into a prince, you’ve got to have
  • 51:23 - 51:30
    a super, special, high-powered, magic ingredient
    called billions and billions of years.
  • 51:32 - 51:33
    How many of you have ever heard that before?
  • 51:33 - 51:38
    “Billions of years ago..” It’s all in the
    textbooks. You see it on TV, in the magazines;
  • 51:38 - 51:40
    it’s in “National Geographic.”
  • 51:40 - 51:45
    “Billions and billions of years ago...” They
    talk about it like it’s a fact of science.
  • 51:45 - 51:49
    Here is a fourth grade textbook. It says,
    “Many millions of years ago...”
  • 51:49 - 51:55
    Now wait a minute. If anybody ever says that
    to me, I say, “Were you there?” They’ll say,
  • 51:55 - 51:57
    “No, of course I wasn’t there.”
  • 51:57 - 52:00
    Then I’ll say, “Now do you know the earth
    is millions of years old?
  • 52:00 - 52:03
    Is this really a part of science? Is this
    something we can observe, study, test, and
  • 52:03 - 52:04
    demonstrate?”
  • 52:04 - 52:10
    They’ll say, “No, but everybody believes the
    earth is millions of years old.” No, they
  • 52:10 - 52:11
    don’t.
  • 52:11 - 52:17
    Most Americans believe the earth is less than
    10,000 years old and God made it.
  • 52:17 - 52:23
    Less than 15% are evolutionists and atheists
    in the surveys that they take. Majority of
  • 52:23 - 52:27
    Americans do not believe the earth is millions
    of years old.
  • 52:27 - 52:30
    Now it’s true that slightly more than half
    the scientists believe in evolution. That’s
  • 52:30 - 52:35
    true, I agree. But that doesn’t make it true.
    It’s true that they believe it, but what they
  • 52:35 - 52:36
    believe is not true.
  • 52:36 - 52:40
    See, just because a bunch of scientists believe
    something doesn’t mean anything.
  • 52:40 - 52:44
    There was a time when scientists taught that
    the planets go around the earth.
  • 52:44 - 52:47
    The scientists used to teach that a big rock
    will fall faster than a little rock.
  • 52:47 - 52:51
    They used to teach that if you were sick,
    you had bad blood. Take out your blood, and
  • 52:51 - 52:53
    you will get better.
  • 52:53 - 52:57
    There were special places all over America
    to get your blood taken out.
  • 52:57 - 52:59
    You could tell where they were, because they
    had a white pole with a red stripe around
  • 52:59 - 53:01
    it.
  • 53:01 - 53:05
    The barber was the blood letter. And right
    beside George Washington, ...
  • 53:05 - 53:08
    ... when they were bleeding him to death,
    was a Bible that told him, “For the life of
  • 53:08 - 53:09
    the flesh is in the blood:”
  • 53:09 - 53:16
    If they would have read that verse, he might
    still be alive today. Well, he would have
  • 53:16 - 53:16
    lived longer, anyway.
  • 53:16 - 53:20
    But listen, if you went scuba diving and found
    a treasure chest full of gold coins.
  • 53:20 - 53:23
    And I asked you the simple question, “When
    did the boat sink?”
  • 53:23 - 53:29
    You say, “I don’t know.” Well, look at the
    dates on the coins.
  • 53:29 - 53:34
    If there’s a coin in that box from 1750, you
    ought to be able to figure out that the boat
  • 53:34 - 53:39
    sank after 1750.
  • 53:39 - 53:43
    How many can figure that out with no help
    at all? It couldn’t sink before that, could
  • 53:43 - 53:44
    it?
  • 53:44 - 53:47
    You don’t poke around in the box and find
    the oldest coin.
  • 53:47 - 53:52
    You have to find the most recent coin. And
    that kind of limits when the boat could have
  • 53:52 - 53:52
    sunk.
  • 53:52 - 53:54
    That’s called the limiting factor.
  • 53:54 - 53:58
    Did you know that there are probably a hundred
    different ways to tell how old the earth is?
  • 53:58 - 54:02
    A lot of them give big numbers, and a lot
    of them give small numbers, but it’s the small
  • 54:02 - 54:05
    ones we’ve got to worry about.
  • 54:05 - 54:10
    If you find a dinosaur bone, you should notice
    two things about it immediately.
  • 54:10 - 54:16
    Number one, it does not talk. Number two,
    it doesn’t have a date stamped on it.
  • 54:16 - 54:23
    It does not say: “Made by a dinosaur in 70
    million BC in Taiwan.” They don’t say that,
  • 54:23 - 54:24
    OK?
  • 54:24 - 54:28
    So, how do you tell the age of a fossil? How
    do you tell the age of the earth?
  • 54:28 - 54:33
    How old is this earth anyway? Well, the Bible
    dates add up to about 6,000 years.
  • 54:33 - 54:37
    The textbooks say it’s billions. Somebody
    is wrong.
  • 54:37 - 54:41
    There is a difference between 6,000 and 20
    billion.
  • 54:41 - 54:44
    Congress doesn’t seem to understand the difference,
    but there is a difference, OK?
  • 54:44 - 54:46
    We’ll talk about that in the next session.
  • 54:46 - 54:49
    How do you show that the earth is not billions
    of years old?
  • 54:49 - 54:53
    But if it is only 6,000 years old like the
    Bible teaches, that raises some interesting
  • 54:53 - 54:54
    questions.
  • 54:54 - 54:57
    What about the dinosaurs? What about carbon
    dating?
  • 54:57 - 55:00
    How did the light from the stars get here?
    What about Grand Canyon?
  • 55:00 - 55:03
    Didn’t it take million of years to form? What
    about the geologic column?
  • 55:03 - 55:08
    Well folks, that’s why my seminar is about
    seventeen hours long. I am talking as fast
  • 55:08 - 55:09
    as I can go, but we cover all that.
  • 55:09 - 55:12
    We’ll cover some more of that in just a minute.
  • 55:16 - 55:23
    The Bible says in Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning
    God created the heaven and the earth.”
  • 55:23 - 55:25
    When was the beginning?
  • 55:25 - 55:30
    The Bible says that Jesus created all things
    in heaven and earth.
  • 55:30 - 55:35
    Well wait, did God create the heaven and the
    earth or did Jesus create the heaven and the
  • 55:35 - 55:35
    earth?
  • 55:35 - 55:36
    Well, they are both fine.
  • 55:36 - 55:41
    Jesus is God Almighty in the flesh in spite
    of what “Jehovah’s false witnesses” teach,
  • 55:41 - 55:42
    OK?
  • 55:42 - 55:48
    Jesus said in Matthew 19:4, “Have ye not read
    that he which made them at the beginning made
  • 55:48 - 55:50
    them male and female.”
  • 55:50 - 55:55
    By the way, that was Adam and Eve, not Adam
    and Steve. But Jesus said that was the beginning.
  • 55:55 - 56:01
    Same thing in Mark 10:6, “From the beginning
    of the creation God made them male and female.”
  • 56:01 - 56:06
    The Bible says death came into the world because
    of man’s sin.
  • 56:06 - 56:08
    Nothing died until Adam sinned.
  • 56:08 - 56:11
    By man came death. The Bible is real clear
    on the topic.
  • 56:11 - 56:17
    Adam was the first man and Eve was the mother
    of all living.
  • 56:17 - 56:20
    Well, that makes it pretty easy then; we just
    add up the dates.
  • 56:20 - 56:23
    The Bibles says Adam was 130 when Seth was
    born.
  • 56:23 - 56:26
    Seth was 105 when Enos was born.
  • 56:26 - 56:29
    Enos was 90 when Cainan was born.
  • 56:29 - 56:33
    You go through the Bible; you add up the dates;
    it’s not hard to do.
  • 56:33 - 56:35
    You can make a chart like this pretty easily.
  • 56:35 - 56:39
    If you get my seminar notebook, the last page
    folds out to be that chart, or we’ve got them
  • 56:39 - 56:41
    laminated like this one.
  • 56:41 - 56:44
    You might want them for placemats when your
    skeptic friends come over for lunch.
  • 56:44 - 56:50
    You can really stir up a conversation with
    one of those. Our ministry has quite a few
  • 56:50 - 56:52
    placemats. And the kids can read that instead
    of the cereal box.
  • 56:52 - 56:57
    But if you add up the dates in the Bible,
    you are going to get about 4000 BC for the
  • 56:57 - 56:59
    creation.
  • 56:59 - 57:02
    Not millions of years ago, but 4000 BC.
  • 57:02 - 57:05
    Now I’m not one of those guys that tries to
    put an exact date on it.
  • 57:05 - 57:07
    I don’t say that it was 4004 BC,
  • 57:07 - 57:08
    October 23rd at two in the afternoon.
  • 57:08 - 57:11
    I don’t think you can get that close from
    Scripture.
  • 57:11 - 57:16
    I think Adam was made in the afternoon because
    it was just before Eve. It’s the only clue
  • 57:16 - 57:17
    I found.
  • 57:17 - 57:22
    And I can’t prove this but I think I figured
    out why God made Adam first.
  • 57:22 - 57:28
    I think God made Adam first because he didn’t
    want any advice on how to do it.
  • 57:28 - 57:31
    How many would agree with that one?
  • 57:31 - 57:37
    By the way, BC means Before Christ. Almost
    all the new textbooks are changing it to say
  • 57:37 - 57:41
    BCE- before the common era.
  • 57:41 - 57:46
    Christ is gone from the schools, folks. Textbooks
    say the earth is billions of years old. Jesus
  • 57:46 - 57:49
    said the creation of Adam was the beginning.
  • 57:49 - 57:56
    Well, was He lying? Did He not understand
    science? Or was He right?
  • 57:56 - 58:00
    How old is the earth? When was the beginning?
  • 58:00 - 58:05
    “Thou Lord in the beginning has laid the foundations
    of the earth.” How old is this earth?
  • 58:05 - 58:09
    Could that date of 4000 BC be correct?
  • 58:09 - 58:13
    I do many debates at universities and speak
    on a lot of talk shows and stuff, and there’s
  • 58:13 - 58:14
    always some atheist that calls in.
  • 58:14 - 58:19
    He will call in and say, “Hovind, I have got
    a question, Who did Adam’s sons marry?”
  • 58:19 - 58:21
    Good question and a fair question.
  • 58:21 - 58:25
    I say that’s a good question and I’d be glad
    to answer that. However, you guys are the
  • 58:25 - 58:27
    ones that have a serious problem.
  • 58:27 - 58:31
    The Bible says “Cain went out from the presence
    of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod,
  • 58:31 - 58:34
    on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife
    and she conceived.” Well, it doesn’t say he
  • 58:34 - 58:35
    found her there.
  • 58:35 - 58:39
    But who was his wife and who did Seth marry
    anyway?
  • 58:39 - 58:43
    And I think I can answer that. However, compared
    to the evolutionists we have a minor problem.
  • 58:43 - 58:48
    They believe that 18 or 20 billion years ago,
    there was a big bang where nothing exploded
  • 58:48 - 58:50
    and made everything.
  • 58:50 - 58:55
    And 4.6 billion years ago the earth cooled
    down and it was a hot ball of rock.
  • 58:55 - 58:58
    “The earth began as a hot ball of rock.”
  • 58:58 - 59:03
    And then millions of years of torrential rains
    created great oceans, and swirling in the
  • 59:03 - 59:06
    waters of the oceans is a bubbling broth of
    complex chemicals.
  • 59:06 - 59:11
    “Progress from a complex chemical soup to
    a living organism is very slow.”
  • 59:11 - 59:15
    It sure is; it doesn’t even happen; that’s
    how slow it is!
  • 59:15 - 59:20
    This guy said, “The first self-replicating
    systems must have emerged in this organic
  • 59:20 - 59:21
    soup.”
  • 59:21 - 59:26
    So according to the big bang theory, 20 billion
    years ago there was a big bang, and then 4.6
  • 59:26 - 59:27
    billion years ago the earth cooled down.
  • 59:27 - 59:30
    It rained on the rocks for millions of years,
    turned them into soup, and the soup came alive
  • 59:30 - 59:33
    3 billion years ago.
  • 59:33 - 59:39
    And that first life-form found somebody to
    marry (now there’s a good trick) and something
  • 59:39 - 59:43
    to eat, of course, and slowly evolved into
    everything we see today.
  • 59:43 - 59:44
    That’s the big bang theory.
  • 59:44 - 59:49
    So great-great-great-great-grandpa was soup.
  • 59:49 - 59:53
    I spoke at a college in Boston one time. They
    said, “Hovind, you can come to speak at our
  • 59:53 - 59:57
    college, if our professors can ask you any
    questions they want.
  • 59:57 - 60:01
    We would like to show the students how dumb
    you Christians really are.”
  • 60:01 - 60:03
    I said, “I would be honored to come for that.”
  • 60:03 - 60:07
    So I showed up. There were six professors
    and all their students in the room. You know,
  • 60:07 - 60:09
    I felt like Daniel in the lion’s den!
  • 60:09 - 60:16
    I got out my charts and said, “Folks, I believe
    the Bible. I believe 6,000 years ago God made
  • 60:16 - 60:19
    everything. Then 4,400 years ago, God sent
    a Flood which destroyed everything.”
  • 60:19 - 60:24
    “Noah saved two of each kind - not species
    - kind of animal life on the ark.”
  • 60:24 - 60:27
    Then I told them what they believe, because
    most of them don’t know what they believe.
  • 60:27 - 60:29
    Twenty billion years ago there was a big bang.
  • 60:29 - 60:32
    Then 4.6 billion years ago, the earth cooled
    down. It rained on the rocks for millions
  • 60:32 - 60:35
    of years, turned them into soup and the soup
    came alive.
  • 60:35 - 60:36
    One professor was really upset.
  • 60:36 - 60:39
    He said, “Hovind, do you realize that there
    are hundreds of varieties of dogs in the world?”
  • 60:39 - 60:42
    I said, “Oh yeah, there’s a bunch.”
  • 60:42 - 60:45
    He said, “You mean to tell me that you believe
    all those dogs came from just two dogs on
  • 60:45 - 60:46
    Noah’s ark?
  • 60:46 - 60:48
    Do you expect me to believe that?”
  • 60:48 - 60:53
    I said, “Sir, would you look at what you are
    teaching your students?
  • 60:53 - 61:00
    You’re teaching your students that all those
    dogs came from a rock.”
  • 61:00 - 61:02
    He didn’t have any more questions after that.
  • 61:02 - 61:08
    Anyway, who did Adam’s sons marry? Well, the
    Bible says Adam lived after he begat Seth
  • 61:08 - 61:13
    800 years and begat sons and daughters.
  • 61:13 - 61:17
    How many kids could you have in 800 years?
    Several, right?
  • 61:17 - 61:23
    A friend of mine in Arkansas had 15 kids in
    15 years.
  • 61:23 - 61:30
    I met a family from Minnesota with 20 children,
    all of them under 20. It’s cold in Minnesota.
  • 61:32 - 61:37
    So who did Adam’s sons marry? Well, they married
    sisters.
  • 61:37 - 61:38
    You say, “Married their sisters?!”
  • 61:38 - 61:40
    Well calm down; first of all, there’s no other
    choice, OK?
  • 61:40 - 61:47
    Secondly, who are you going to report them
    to? Think about it.
  • 61:47 - 61:52
    Thirdly, there were no laws against it till
    2,500 years later when Moses gave the law.
  • 61:52 - 61:57
    They didn’t need laws against it at first.
    For the first thousand years or so, the race
  • 61:57 - 61:59
    had almost no genetic defects.
  • 61:59 - 62:05
    There was no problem marrying a sister. See,
    everything about you is inherited. Even having
  • 62:05 - 62:08
    children is hereditary. If your parents don’t
    have any, you won’t either.
  • 62:08 - 62:15
    You say, “Wow, I never thought about that.”
    Go think about it. You’ll see I’m right.
  • 62:16 - 62:20
    People say, “You can’t marry sisters; what
    about genetic similarity?”
  • 62:20 - 62:26
    Adam married his rib. Talk about genetic similarity!
    It was not going to be a problem back then.
  • 62:26 - 62:30
    And you won’t notice this reading the Bible,
    but when you graph out the date, it is pretty
  • 62:30 - 62:30
    amazing.
  • 62:30 - 62:35
    You’ll realize that Adam lived long enough
    to know his great-great-great-great-grandson.
  • 62:35 - 62:40
    Noah’s daddy could have known Adam for 56
    years.
  • 62:40 - 62:42
    Can you imagine a family reunion back in those
    days?
  • 62:42 - 62:48
    All right, everybody hop on the camel. We
    are going to go visit great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandpa
  • 62:48 - 62:48
    Adam.
  • 62:48 - 62:53
    And he is going to tell us what it was like
    in the Garden of Eden (before the first woman
  • 62:53 - 62:57
    ate the first man out of house and home).
  • 62:57 - 63:00
    I do tell a lot of Adam-and-Eve jokes. And
    I’ll just tell you that right now. And this
  • 63:00 - 63:03
    one lady said, “Now just where would you men
    be without us women?”
  • 63:03 - 63:06
    I said, “In the Garden of Eden.”
  • 63:06 - 63:13
    But it’d be lonely; it wouldn’t be worth it.
  • 63:13 - 63:16
    You won’t notice this reading your Bible either,
    but when you graph out the dates, it’s like,
  • 63:16 - 63:18
    wow, that’s pretty cool!
  • 63:18 - 63:23
    Noah’s son Shem lived long enough after the
    Flood to know Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
  • 63:23 - 63:30
    Jacob had 13 kids: 12 boys and 1 girl. One
    of those boys was Joseph.
  • 63:30 - 63:33
    He’s the guy that got the coat of many colors.
    And the brothers got jealous and beat him
  • 63:33 - 63:34
    up. They threw him in the pit and he ended
    up down in Egypt.
  • 63:34 - 63:37
    And he became the “Vice Pharaoh” or whatever
    they called it.
  • 63:37 - 63:40
    And later Joseph invited all of his brothers
    to move down to Egypt and live with them.
  • 63:40 - 63:45
    So Joseph is introducing his dad, Jacob, to
    Pharaoh. And Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How old
  • 63:45 - 63:47
    are you?”
  • 63:47 - 63:49
    And Jacob said, “I’m 130 years old.”
  • 63:49 - 63:53
    “Few and evil have the days of the years of
    my life been and have not attained unto the
  • 63:53 - 63:55
    days of the years of the life of my fathers.”
  • 63:55 - 64:01
    I read that verse 36 years ago as a brand
    new Christian and I thought, what’s he saying
  • 64:01 - 64:01
    here?
  • 64:01 - 64:05
    I’m 130, but this is nothing compared to my
    ancestors?
  • 64:05 - 64:11
    Yeah, when you figure he could have personally
    known Shem, Arphaxad, Salah, and Eber.
  • 64:11 - 64:15
    If you were 130 but you know a 600-year-old
    that lives around the corner, you just don’t
  • 64:15 - 64:16
    feel so old anymore.
  • 64:16 - 64:20
    Anyway, the textbooks say that the earth is
    billions of years old.
  • 64:20 - 64:22
    Jesus said the creation of Adam was the beginning.
  • 64:22 - 64:25
    Now was Jesus lying? Was He stupid?
  • 64:25 - 64:29
    Or was He right? How old is the earth?
  • 64:29 - 64:32
    Do the books in this town teach the kids the
    earth is billions of years old?
  • 64:32 - 64:35
    Are they going to learn this in school when
    they go back?
  • 64:35 - 64:38
    “4.6 billion years ago ...”
  • 64:38 - 64:42
    Even some Christians are teaching that the
    earth is billions of years old.
  • 64:42 - 64:45
    Some people do who really sincerely, honestly
    love the Lord!
  • 64:45 - 64:48
    This list of folks tells some of those, just
    a few of those, who teach that the earth is
  • 64:48 - 64:50
    billions of years old.
  • 64:50 - 64:53
    I debated Hugh Ross for three hours on the
    John Ankerberg show.
  • 64:53 - 64:57
    Both of those guys believe that the earth
    is billions of years old. People say, “Well
  • 64:57 - 64:59
    who cares? What difference does it make?”
  • 64:59 - 65:01
    It makes a giant difference.
  • 65:01 - 65:04
    Because if you are going to have billions
    of years, you are going to have death before
  • 65:04 - 65:06
    sin.
  • 65:06 - 65:10
    Now you have a heresy. And it is heresy!
  • 65:10 - 65:13
    It’s not heresy to believe the earth is billions
    of years old, but it is heresy to put death
  • 65:13 - 65:14
    before sin.
  • 65:14 - 65:16
    Now that is a clear heresy.
  • 65:16 - 65:22
    The Bible says death reigned from Adam to
    Moses. By man came death. In Adam all die.
  • 65:22 - 65:23
    Who cares about the age of the earth?
  • 65:23 - 65:27
    Well for one thing, the credibility of Genesis
    is at stake.
  • 65:27 - 65:32
    The average person reading that book is not
    going to find billions of years in there.
  • 65:32 - 65:33
    So the question is real simple.
  • 65:33 - 65:37
    Can the average person read the Bible and
    understand it or do we have to have some guru
  • 65:37 - 65:38
    tell us what it means?
  • 65:38 - 65:45
    Secondly, the credibility of Jesus is at stake
    since He quoted Genesis 25 times. And just
  • 65:45 - 65:50
    about every other book in the Bible refers
    to the Book of Genesis.
  • 65:50 - 65:53
    It’s an important topic. And the evolutionists
    really care!
  • 65:53 - 65:58
    If you take away billions of years, their
    theory looks real silly.
  • 65:58 - 66:02
    Jesus said, “For had ye believed Moses, ye
    would have believed me: for he wrote of me.”
  • 66:02 - 66:06
    Well, the Bible clearly teaches about 6,000
    years.
  • 66:06 - 66:09
    Let’s see what the scientific evidence says.
  • 66:09 - 66:14
    In 1999 the world’s population crossed over
    the 6 billion mark.
  • 66:14 - 66:18
    In 1985 there were 5 billion people on planet
    earth.
  • 66:18 - 66:20
    In 1800 there was one billion people here.
  • 66:20 - 66:24
    Everybody agrees there were about one billion
    people here around 1800. And everybody agrees
  • 66:24 - 66:27
    the world’s population is growing rapidly.
  • 66:27 - 66:33
    But the world is not overcrowded. Don’t fall
    for that over-populated propaganda going around
  • 66:33 - 66:34
    the schools.
  • 66:34 - 66:35
    The world is not overcrowded.
  • 66:35 - 66:40
    The whole world’s population today, all 6
    billion people, would fit inside Jacksonville,
  • 66:40 - 66:43
    Florida twice.
  • 66:43 - 66:45
    That little city has 25 billion square feet.
  • 66:45 - 66:48
    The world’s not overcrowded, folks.
  • 66:48 - 66:54
    Have you driven across Nebraska? Or Kansas?
    Or New Mexico? Or Texas?
  • 66:54 - 66:57
    Drive across Texas. Have any of you driven
    across Texas?
  • 66:57 - 66:59
    You can go for three days. Are we still in
    Texas?
  • 66:59 - 67:04
    Yeah, nothing out there but flat rabbits,
    I tell you what.
  • 67:04 - 67:05
    The world’s not overcrowded.
  • 67:05 - 67:08
    Drive across Tennessee, for Heaven’s sake.
    It’s not overcrowded.
  • 67:08 - 67:12
    Look, if it’s overcrowded where you are, move!
  • 67:12 - 67:17
    There is plenty of room out there other places,
    OK? Back when Jesus was here, the world’s
  • 67:17 - 67:22
    population was only about a quarter of a billion!
  • 67:22 - 67:27
    It looks like the whole population growth
    curve started about 4,400 years ago.
  • 67:27 - 67:30
    Now if you believe in evolution, you’ve got
    a problem.
  • 67:30 - 67:33
    You think man’s been here for 3 million years.
  • 67:33 - 67:40
    In 3 million years the population would have
    grown. Right now there’d be about 150,000
  • 67:41 - 67:44
    people per square inch.
  • 67:44 - 67:48
    That would be crowded. No, man’s not been
    here for millions of years.
  • 67:48 - 67:52
    God told Adam to replenish the earth; fill
    it with kids. Have lots of kids!
  • 67:52 - 67:56
    “He formed the world to be inhabited,” Isaiah
    45 tells us.
  • 67:56 - 68:00
    We got people on the other side saying we
    should reduce the population of the earth.
  • 68:00 - 68:02
    That is Satan’s plan, of course.
  • 68:02 - 68:07
    Jacques Cousteau said we need to eliminate
    350,000 people per day.
  • 68:07 - 68:12
    Ted Turner said we need a 95% decline in populations.
  • 68:12 - 68:15
    Okay, Ted, you first.
  • 68:15 - 68:20
    These guys for the New World Order want to
    reduce the population of the world to a half
  • 68:20 - 68:21
    billion.
  • 68:21 - 68:26
    See, Satan was told by the Lord in the Garden
    of Eden, “You are going to crawl on your belly
  • 68:26 - 68:28
    and eat dust all your life.”
  • 68:28 - 68:32
    Then the Lord said, “I will put enmity between
    thee and the woman, between thy seed and her
  • 68:32 - 68:36
    seed, it shall bruise thy head.”
  • 68:36 - 68:39
    Satan knows that someday some seed of the
    woman is going to bruise his head and he’s
  • 68:39 - 68:40
    not looking forward to that.
  • 68:40 - 68:44
    So he has decided he’s going to kill every
    human being on the planet.
  • 68:44 - 68:49
    Satan’s goal is to kill all of humanity to
    thwart God’s plan.
  • 68:49 - 68:51
    God said to fill the earth with kids; have
    a bunch of kids.
  • 68:51 - 68:53
    Satan says, “No, we are going to reduce it
    to zero.”
  • 68:53 - 68:59
    Remember when Herod wanted to kill baby Jesus
    in Bethlehem? What did he do?
  • 68:59 - 69:04
    He killed all the children. Let’s be sure
    to get the right one. Just kill them all.
  • 69:04 - 69:07
    And Satan’s going to try to kill every human
    being on the planet.
  • 69:07 - 69:10
    Charles Wurster said, “People are the cause
    of all the problems, we need to get rid of
  • 69:10 - 69:12
    some of them.”
  • 69:12 - 69:15
    Bill Clinton signed the biodiversity treaty
    that said we need to reduce the earth’s population
  • 69:15 - 69:16
    to one billion.
  • 69:16 - 69:20
    They’ve already got the earth divided up into
    regions.
  • 69:20 - 69:24
    The red areas on the map are for animals only.
    No human beings allowed.
  • 69:24 - 69:29
    The treaty’s been signed; it just hasn’t been
    enforced yet - coming soon though.
  • 69:29 - 69:32
    Peter Singer is the guy who wants to have
    abortions after the baby’s born.
  • 69:32 - 69:36
    You have got 28 days to decide if you want
    to keep it.
  • 69:36 - 69:38
    He said, “Christianity is our foe.”
  • 69:38 - 69:42
    “If animal rights is to succeed, we must destroy
    the Judeo-Christian religious tradition.”
  • 69:42 - 69:45
    Like animals should have more rights than
    humans. Alan Gregg said, “The world has cancer,
  • 69:45 - 69:49
    and the cancer is man.”
  • 69:49 - 69:52
    Prince Phillip is the husband of Queen Elizabeth.
    She’s the one that invented the “micro-wave.”
  • 69:52 - 69:59
    Prince Phillip said, “If I could be reincarnated,
    I would wish to return to earth as a killer
  • 70:00 - 70:03
    virus to lower human population levels.”
  • 70:03 - 70:10
    Nice guy, Phil. By the way, Monsanto is real
    busy on developing genetically modified foods.
  • 70:10 - 70:11
    They banned them in Europe.
  • 70:11 - 70:17
    But 70% of everything you eat now contains
    genetically modified foods, causing all kinds
  • 70:17 - 70:19
    of problems with health.
  • 70:19 - 70:22
    Get the book, “Seeds of Deception,” if you
    want a whole lot more on that.
  • 70:22 - 70:27
    Or read “Engineered Extinction” from the “New
    American” magazine about how our food is being
  • 70:27 - 70:28
    tampered with to reduce the population.
  • 70:28 - 70:33
    The United Nations said, “Food is power, we
    use it to control behavior, ... we do not
  • 70:33 - 70:33
    apologize.”
  • 70:33 - 70:38
    And before you get excited about vaccines,
    you might want to read what’s happening with
  • 70:38 - 70:41
    the viruses being injected in with the vaccines.
  • 70:41 - 70:43
    Time bombs are being planted in there.
  • 70:43 - 70:48
    There’s a long story on that; we cover more
    on that in our “Bible & Health” video tape.
  • 70:48 - 70:55
    Autism has gone crazy. There’s been a 75,000
    percent increase in autism in Illinois! It’s
  • 70:55 - 70:58
    from vaccines, most people believe.
  • 70:58 - 71:01
    Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) seems
    to be from vaccines.
  • 71:01 - 71:03
    In Australia they made vaccines non-mandatory.
  • 71:03 - 71:09
    50% of the people dropped out, and Australia
    had a 50% drop in (SIDS) Sudden Infant Death
  • 71:09 - 71:10
    Syndrome.
  • 71:10 - 71:13
    Go to www.marytocco.com if you want more on
    vaccines.
  • 71:13 - 71:17
    But there are people who want to reduce the
    population of the earth.
  • 71:17 - 71:22
    Go outside of Atlanta, Georgia, to the town
    of Elberton. Go north about seven or eight
  • 71:22 - 71:23
    miles on Highway 77.
  • 71:23 - 71:27
    Look off to the right. You’ll see a place
    where they teach that we should reduce the
  • 71:27 - 71:29
    population of the planet.
  • 71:29 - 71:33
    If you look off to the right, you’ll see these
    stones over here that look like Stonehenge.
  • 71:33 - 71:35
    You drive over there and it is the weirdest
    place - in the middle of nowhere.
  • 71:35 - 71:41
    You get up and you read them and it says in
    12 languages: The Ten Commandments for the
  • 71:41 - 71:44
    New World Order.
  • 71:44 - 71:49
    Commandment number one, Maintain humanity
    under one-half billion.
  • 71:49 - 71:53
    Well now hold on a minute, there are already
    6 billion people here.
  • 71:53 - 71:58
    How do they propose to “maintain humanity
    under a half billion?”
  • 71:58 - 72:02
    Looks to me like there would have to be a
    dramatic drop in human population. That is
  • 72:02 - 72:04
    exactly what the devil wants.
  • 72:04 - 72:06
    More on that in our college class: CSE 101.
  • 72:06 - 72:10
    Well, regardless of what happens in the future,
    the population today tells us that man has
  • 72:10 - 72:12
    only been here about 4,400 years.
  • 72:12 - 72:17
    They said it looks like there has been a genetic
    bottleneck. The whole population was reduced
  • 72:17 - 72:20
    to just a few thousand just a couple thousand
    years ago.
  • 72:20 - 72:24
    Hey, they are getting closer. Actually it
    was all reduced to eight persons only about
  • 72:24 - 72:26
    4,400 years ago.
  • 72:26 - 72:29
    I tell everybody that you keep studying, and
    when you get done climbing the mountain of
  • 72:29 - 72:32
    truth, you’ll find the Baptists have been
    sitting there all along.
  • 72:32 - 72:38
    Galaxies are spinning, but the stars in the
    middle go faster than the stars on the outside.
  • 72:38 - 72:43
    So why do we still have spiral arms on the
    galaxies? They should not be there.
  • 72:43 - 72:48
    Galaxies are evidence that the universe is
    not billions of years old.
  • 72:48 - 72:51
    Stars are blowing up all the time. It is called
    a supernova or a nova.
  • 72:51 - 72:55
    But a star blows up about every 30 years,
    and yet there are less than 300 supernova
  • 72:55 - 72:58
    remnants or fragments that have been found.
  • 72:58 - 73:01
    That’s only a few thousand years worth of
    stars.
  • 73:01 - 73:04
    Why aren’t there billions of supernova remnants?
  • 73:04 - 73:08
    Some people say, “Well, new stars are forming
    in the Crab nebula or horsehead nebula.”
  • 73:08 - 73:12
    No, that’s a bunch of bologna. We cover that
    on video #7. Nobody’s ever seen a star form.
  • 73:12 - 73:15
    The planet Jupiter is cooling off rapidly.
  • 73:15 - 73:19
    The stars are changing from red giants to
    white dwarfs.
  • 73:19 - 73:23
    The textbooks say it takes billions of years.
    We know that is not true.
  • 73:23 - 73:28
    All the ancient astronomers said Sirius was
    a red star. Today it is a white dwarf.
  • 73:28 - 73:32
    It happens in a few thousand years. Don’t
    let them tell you it takes billions of years.
  • 73:32 - 73:34
    Jupiter’s cooling off rapidly.
  • 73:34 - 73:39
    Constantly losing heat, it cannot be billions
    of years old. It would have been cold by now.
  • 73:39 - 73:44
    Jupiter’s moon Ganymede has a strong magnetic
    field, indicating a liquid core, meaning it
  • 73:44 - 73:46
    is not billions of years old.
  • 73:46 - 73:50
    Saturn’s rings are expanding away from the
    planet. They cannot be billions of years old.
  • 73:50 - 73:53
    There’s more about that in the book, “In the
    Beginning” by Walt Brown, an excellent book
  • 73:53 - 73:54
    by the way.
  • 73:54 - 73:59
    The moon goes around the earth. How many knew
    that already? The moon goes around the earth.
  • 73:59 - 74:02
    Did you know that as the moon moves around
    the earth, it is gradually getting farther
  • 74:02 - 74:03
    away?
  • 74:03 - 74:09
    We are slowly losing the moon. It’s leaving
    us a couple inches a year - no big deal.
  • 74:09 - 74:13
    Nothing to worry about; plus nothing you can
    do about it anyway.
  • 74:13 - 74:16
    But the moon is getting farther from the earth
    every day.
  • 74:16 - 74:22
    Now kids, this is going to be complicated,
    so listen carefully. The moon is getting farther
  • 74:22 - 74:25
    from the earth every day.
  • 74:25 - 74:32
    So that means that it used to be ... closer.
    How many can figure this out with no help
  • 74:34 - 74:35
    at all?
  • 74:35 - 74:40
    Well, if you bring the moon in closer, you
    start to create a problem, because the moon
  • 74:40 - 74:43
    causes the tides.
  • 74:43 - 74:46
    You folks in Knoxville probably don’t worry
    about the tides.
  • 74:46 - 74:48
    But in Pensacola, you worry about the tides.
  • 74:48 - 74:53
    You see, if the moon was closer, the tides
    would be higher.
  • 74:53 - 74:55
    There’s a law called the inverse square law.
  • 74:55 - 74:59
    If you brought the moon in to 1/3 the distance,
    you take the 1/3, flip it over and square
  • 74:59 - 75:03
    it. It’s nine times the gravitational pull!
  • 75:03 - 75:07
    If you run all the math on this, you’ll find
    out that the moon and earth would have been
  • 75:07 - 75:10
    almost together 1.4 billion years ago.
  • 75:10 - 75:16
    Dr. Walt Brown says 1.2 billion years ago
    is the max life span for the earth and moon.
  • 75:16 - 75:21
    Well, if the moon was whizzing around just
    above the surface of the earth, that explains
  • 75:21 - 75:26
    what happened to the tall dinosaurs.
  • 75:26 - 75:32
    They got mooned.
  • 75:32 - 75:36
    Comets are flying around through space, but
    comets are constantly losing material.
  • 75:36 - 75:38
    Stuff blows off the tail of a comet.
  • 75:38 - 75:42
    You can’t just keep losing; pretty soon it
    is gone.
  • 75:42 - 75:43
    You know, it’s kind of like your checkbook.
  • 75:43 - 75:48
    See, if your outgo exceeds your income, your
    upkeep will be your downfall, every single
  • 75:48 - 75:49
    time!
  • 75:49 - 75:54
    Well, these comets are always losing material.
    That’s something you just can’t keep doing
  • 75:54 - 75:55
    forever.
  • 75:55 - 76:02
    Most astronomer’s say comets can’t last more
    than about 10,000 years. OK, well then I have
  • 76:02 - 76:03
    a question.
  • 76:03 - 76:08
    Why do we still have comets out there? They
    should all be gone by now.
  • 76:08 - 76:12
    I mentioned in a seminar years ago that comets
    are an indication that the solar system is
  • 76:12 - 76:14
    less than 10,000 years old.
  • 76:14 - 76:21
    And an atheist went home and devoted an entire
    Web site against me, an anti-Hovind Web site.
  • 76:21 - 76:22
    There are now over a thousand.
  • 76:22 - 76:28
    One guy told me there is closer to 2,000 anti-Hovind
    Web sites now. I’m so proud of myself.
  • 76:28 - 76:32
    Well, this one scoffer on his Web site said,
    “Hovind, don’t you know about a Dutch astronomer
  • 76:32 - 76:35
    back in 1950? His name was Jan Oort.
  • 76:35 - 76:42
    He proposed (he hoped; he wished; he prayed)
    that there was a great shell of comets out
  • 76:42 - 76:46
    there, and new ones kept coming in to replace
    the ones that are burning out.”
  • 76:46 - 76:50
    So he said that the reason we still have comets
    is because new ones are replacing the ones
  • 76:50 - 76:52
    that are burning up.
  • 76:52 - 76:55
    They called it the “Oort Cloud” of comets.
  • 76:55 - 77:00
    He said this Oort cloud is 50,000 astronomical
    units away.
  • 77:00 - 77:04
    Well, if you don’t know what an astronomical
    unit, it is the distance from the sun to the
  • 77:04 - 77:05
    earth.
  • 77:05 - 77:08
    That is one astronomical unit.
  • 77:08 - 77:13
    It’s pretty hard to see Pluto without a really
    good telescope. And Pluto’s only 39 astronomical
  • 77:13 - 77:14
    units away.
  • 77:14 - 77:20
    You’re never going to see a comet at 50,000
    astronomical units, that’s for sure.
  • 77:20 - 77:25
    Nobody’s ever seen this Oort cloud. Oort never
    saw the Oort cloud.
  • 77:25 - 77:31
    The whole thing is based on a mathematical
    mistake. There is no Oort cloud.
  • 77:31 - 77:36
    Even Carl Sagan said, “Many scientific papers
    are written each year about the Oort cloud,
  • 77:36 - 77:38
    its properties, its origin, its evolution.
    ...
  • 77:38 - 77:42
    Yet there is not yet a shred of direct observational
    evidence for its existence.”
  • 77:42 - 77:45
    There is no Oort cloud.
  • 77:45 - 77:49
    But the scoffer on his Web site said, “Hovind,
    if you want to use the comet argument to prove
  • 77:49 - 77:50
    the earth is young, ...
  • 77:50 - 77:56
    It’s up to you to prove beyond a shadow of
    a doubt that the Oort cloud and other sources
  • 77:56 - 77:57
    don’t exist!”
  • 77:57 - 78:04
    Wait, wait, wait. How would you prove the
    nonexistence of something?
  • 78:04 - 78:10
    Wouldn’t I have to be all places at the same
    instant to prove something doesn’t exist?
  • 78:10 - 78:13
    What he’s trying to do here is called shifting
    the burden of proof.
  • 78:13 - 78:16
    The liberals do it to us all the time, and
    we fall for it.
  • 78:16 - 78:21
    I’ll show you how easy it is to do. Suppose
    I said that watermelons are blue on the inside
  • 78:21 - 78:28
    until you cut the skin. Prove I’m wrong.
  • 78:28 - 78:31
    It’s called shifting the burden of proof.
    That would be pretty hard to do, wouldn’t
  • 78:31 - 78:31
    it?
  • 78:31 - 78:38
    As soon as you cut the skin - oh see, it turned
    red. I was right; it was blue a second ago.
  • 78:38 - 78:42
    He says I have to prove there’s no Oort cloud.
    Now wait, Dave, here’s what we know.
  • 78:42 - 78:47
    We know we have comets. We know they don’t
    last more than about 10,000 years.
  • 78:47 - 78:51
    We know the Bible says the earth is 6,000
    years old. I don’t have a problem with comets.
  • 78:51 - 78:56
    But he wants it to look like I have a problem
    with comets, when he’s the one who’s got the
  • 78:56 - 78:57
    problem.
  • 78:57 - 79:01
    The Bible says, “The heavens declare the glory
    of God.” It’s interesting. Evolution theory
  • 79:01 - 79:05
    has the sun and stars evolving before the
    earth.
  • 79:05 - 79:09
    The Bible says, God made the earth before
    the sun and stars.
  • 79:09 - 79:14
    Everything about the evolution theory is backwards
    to the Bible. Every single thing - absolutely
  • 79:14 - 79:17
    backwards!
  • 79:17 - 79:20
    These theories don’t match. Everything’s backwards.
  • 79:20 - 79:25
    The Bible says man brought death into the
    world. Evolution says death brought man into
  • 79:25 - 79:26
    the world.
  • 79:26 - 79:32
    The Bible says God created man; evolution
    says no, man created God.
  • 79:32 - 79:34
    These theories are polar opposites.
  • 79:34 - 79:38
    People say, “Couldn’t God use evolution to
    create?”
  • 79:38 - 79:42
    Well He could have, but it’s not the God of
    the Bible, that’s for sure.
  • 79:42 - 79:45
    The God that would use evolution is cruel,
    wasteful, and retarded.
  • 79:45 - 79:47
    It’s not a God you would want to pray to,
    that’s for sure.
  • 79:47 - 79:51
    We’ll cover more of that on video 7 of the
    blue series of tapes back there.
  • 79:51 - 79:54
    The psalmist said, “When I consider thy heavens....”
  • 79:54 - 79:58
    By the way, heavens is plural; we get into
    that more in video #2.
  • 79:58 - 80:02
    He said, “when I consider.” Kids, you’d do
    yourself a favor every once in a while to
  • 80:02 - 80:03
    shut off that TV.
  • 80:03 - 80:07
    Go outside, and consider the heavens. Go see
    what God has done.
  • 80:07 - 80:11
    The psalmist said, “While I was musing, the
    fire burned.”
  • 80:11 - 80:14
    The word muse means “think.” Think.
  • 80:14 - 80:17
    The Bible uses that word twice. Think.
  • 80:17 - 80:20
    Now, English is a pretty interesting language,
    you know.
  • 80:20 - 80:24
    A “theist” is a person who says he believes
    in God.
  • 80:24 - 80:28
    If you put the letter “a” in front of a word,
    it means the opposite.
  • 80:28 - 80:32
    So an “atheist” is a person who says he does
    not believe in God.
  • 80:32 - 80:39
    “Muse” means to think. So what is the opposite?
    You got it.
  • 80:39 - 80:41
    “Amuse” means literally, to not think.
  • 80:41 - 80:45
    Did you know we’ve got entire parks where
    you can pay money and go do that.
  • 80:45 - 80:50
    They are called amusement parks - a place
    to not think.
  • 80:50 - 80:54
    He said, “When I consider thy heavens, the
    work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars,
  • 80:54 - 80:58
    which thou hast ordained: What is man that
    thou art mindful of him?”
  • 80:58 - 81:03
    You know what’s interesting? A person that
    spends his time considering what God has done
  • 81:03 - 81:05
    is just not impressed with what man can do.
  • 81:05 - 81:10
    And some of you parents ought to go home and
    look at your kid’s bedroom. And if what you
  • 81:10 - 81:17
    see all over the wall are sports heroes (you
    listen carefully), you are training your kids
  • 81:17 - 81:22
    to meditate on what man can do, not on what
    God can do.
  • 81:22 - 81:26
    And his brain, his thinking process, is going
    to be about that deep.
  • 81:26 - 81:33
    You know the depth of his understanding is
    “Wow, he threw the ball through the hoop.”
  • 81:34 - 81:39
    Who’s going to care in a thousand years? Who’s
    going to care in five years?
  • 81:39 - 81:44
    Does anybody know who won the Stupid Bowl,
    err, Super Bowl five years ago?
  • 81:44 - 81:49
    Does anybody care? It doesn’t matter, does
    it?
  • 81:49 - 81:52
    All those grown men out there fighting over
    that one ball, and they can all afford to
  • 81:52 - 81:53
    go buy their own.
  • 81:53 - 81:59
    No, I mean it’s not sinful. It is just dumb
    to pay a guy five million dollars to carry
  • 81:59 - 82:05
    a pig bladder down a cow pasture through some
    plumbing.
  • 82:05 - 82:07
    It’s not going to last, folks.
  • 82:07 - 82:10
    Think about things that are going to last
    forever, like what God has done. Meditate
  • 82:10 - 82:11
    on that.
  • 82:11 - 82:13
    The Bible says, “Speak to the earth and it
    shall teach thee.”
  • 82:13 - 82:17
    The earth is like a big magnet. Now magnets
    always lose their strength.
  • 82:17 - 82:22
    The earth’s magnet has lost 10% of its strength
    in the last 150 years.
  • 82:22 - 82:28
    That means, of course, that it used to be
    stronger- since it’s getting weaker.
  • 82:28 - 82:33
    And it cannot be more than 25,000 years old.
    Just the earth’s magnetic-field decline limits
  • 82:33 - 82:35
    it to less than 25,000 years.
  • 82:35 - 82:41
    And that also means carbon dating can’t work.
    Give you a few examples here: the lower leg
  • 82:41 - 82:48
    of a mammoth dated 15,000 years old, but the
    skin was 21,000.
  • 82:48 - 82:55
    One part of a mammoth is 29,000 years and
    another part, 44,000. You talk about a slow
  • 82:55 - 82:56
    birth.
  • 82:56 - 83:02
    We cover more on Carbon-14 dating in video
    #7 and all the serious problems with that.
  • 83:02 - 83:05
    The textbooks will say, well, yes the magnetic
    field is getting weaker, but that’s because
  • 83:05 - 83:06
    it’s reversing.
  • 83:06 - 83:08
    It’s a pattern of reversals.
  • 83:08 - 83:12
    No, there are no magnetic reversals in the
    magnetic field at the bottom of the ocean.
  • 83:12 - 83:16
    We cover that in video #6. This is all a part
    of another theory called: Pangaea.
  • 83:16 - 83:18
    How many have ever heard of “Pangaea” before?
  • 83:18 - 83:20
    That all the continents used to fit together.
  • 83:20 - 83:25
    Well, I bet they didn’t tell you they shrank
    Africa nearly 40% to make them fit, did they?
  • 83:25 - 83:28
    Did they tell you they took out all of Mexico
    and Central America?
  • 83:28 - 83:34
    “Senor, que pasa donde esta Mexico, Panama,
    Costa Rica and Guatemala?”
  • 83:34 - 83:38
    And you know they don’t tell you what I think
    ought to be obvious to a kindergartner.
  • 83:38 - 83:44
    Did you know if you take the water out of
    the oceans, you will notice there is dirt
  • 83:44 - 83:50
    underneath. People say, “Hovind, do you think
    the continents were ever connected?”
  • 83:50 - 83:54
    I say, “What do you mean? They are still connected.”
  • 83:54 - 83:58
    I mean, like right now; it is just the low
    places are full of water.
  • 83:58 - 84:01
    What do you mean “were they connected?” Hello!
    They are still connected.
  • 84:01 - 84:06
    What a dumb theory! We cover more of that
    in video #6 about Pangaea, in what’s called
  • 84:06 - 84:07
    “The Hovind Theory.”
  • 84:07 - 84:10
    The earth is spinning about 1,000 miles per
    hour at the equator. But the earth is slowing
  • 84:10 - 84:11
    down.
  • 84:11 - 84:16
    The earth actually slows down about a thousandth
    of a second every day.
  • 84:16 - 84:22
    The earth slows down. “Astronomy Magazine”
    ran an article in 1992.
  • 84:22 - 84:28
    They said, “Earth’s rotation is slowing down.
    ... June will be one second longer than normal.”
  • 84:28 - 84:32
    We will have a leap second. Leap second?
  • 84:32 - 84:37
    Yes, they have to have a leap second about
    every year to year and a half, because the
  • 84:37 - 84:39
    earth is slowing down.
  • 84:39 - 84:44
    Now kids, this is going to be complicated,
    so listen carefully.
  • 84:44 - 84:49
    The earth is spinning, but it is slowing down
  • 84:49 - 84:56
    So that means that it used to be going faster.
  • 84:56 - 85:02
    How many can figure this out with no help
    at all?
  • 85:02 - 85:05
    Well, if the earth is only 6,000 years old,
    this is not a problem.
  • 85:05 - 85:10
    I mean, it was going a little faster; Adam
    wouldn’t notice. He didn’t have a watch anyway.
  • 85:10 - 85:15
    Some of the guys would like me to believe
    that the earth is billions of years old.
  • 85:15 - 85:18
    Man, if you go back billions of years, you
    are going to have a problem.
  • 85:18 - 85:21
    The earth would be spinning pretty quick.
  • 85:21 - 85:27
    Get up; go to bed. Get up; go to bed. Get
    up; go to bed. You’d never get anything done.
  • 85:27 - 85:30
    Centrifugal force would have been enormous.
    Man, the winds would have been 5,000 miles
  • 85:30 - 85:32
    an hour from the Coriolis effect.
  • 85:32 - 85:35
    And you want me to believe the dinosaurs lived
    millions of years ago?
  • 85:35 - 85:42
    I know what happened to them. They got blown
    off! No, they did not live millions of years
  • 85:43 - 85:43
    ago.
  • 85:43 - 85:46
    The Sahara Desert has what is called a prevailing
    wind pattern.
  • 85:46 - 85:51
    The wind almost always blows the same way.
    This creates a serious problem.
  • 85:51 - 85:56
    The hot air comes off the desert, kills the
    trees next door, and that area becomes desert.
  • 85:56 - 86:00
    The process is called desertification. You
    can read about it in an earth science book.
  • 86:00 - 86:05
    The Sahara Desert has been studied very carefully.
    They did a long study on this and said, You
  • 86:05 - 86:11
    know what, folks, the Sahara Desert is probably
    about 4,000 years old.
  • 86:11 - 86:15
    That’s when it started growing. Egypt used
    to be fertile land all over the place.
  • 86:15 - 86:21
    OK, well then I have a question: If the earth
    is millions of years old, why don’t we have
  • 86:21 - 86:23
    a bigger desert someplace?
  • 86:23 - 86:27
    Why would the biggest desert on planet earth
    be less than 4,000 years old?
  • 86:27 - 86:30
    Well, I have a theory about that. Now here’s
    my theory.
  • 86:30 - 86:37
    I believe about 6,000 years ago, God created
    everything; 4,400 years ago there was a Flood.
  • 86:37 - 86:42
    Now it’s pretty hard to have a desert under
    a flood. You have got to admit that would
  • 86:42 - 86:43
    be tough.
  • 86:43 - 86:47
    So the desert couldn’t start growing until
    the floodwater went down.
  • 86:47 - 86:52
    So I predict, based on the Bible, the biggest
    desert in the world would be less than 4,400
  • 86:52 - 86:55
    years old.
  • 86:55 - 87:00
    It is! Wow, maybe the Bible’s right.
  • 87:00 - 87:03
    You know when they drill into the ground,
    sometimes they hit oil?
  • 87:03 - 87:08
    The oil is under incredible pressure in some
    places, up to 20,000 (psi) pounds per square
  • 87:08 - 87:13
    inch. It will come squirting up out of the
    ground- 20,000 psi.
  • 87:13 - 87:16
    Well, the guys who study the rocks on top
    of the oil say,
  • 87:16 - 87:20
    “You know, it just can’t handle that pressure
    for more than about 10,000 years.”
  • 87:20 - 87:25
    I know the weight of rock supplies pressure,
    but the pressure in the well is greater than
  • 87:25 - 87:28
    the weight of overburden.
  • 87:28 - 87:31
    They say it should have cracked the rock and
    leaked off in less than 10,000 years.
  • 87:31 - 87:37
    OK, well then, I have got two questions: Where
    did the oil come from? And why is it still
  • 87:37 - 87:39
    under pressure?
  • 87:39 - 87:44
    Well, most scientists agree that oil comes
    from organisms that are squished.
  • 87:44 - 87:47
    They’re changed by heat and pressure into
    oil.
  • 87:47 - 87:53
    They learned in 1971 how to make oil in 20
    minutes in the laboratory. In Australia they’ve
  • 87:53 - 87:58
    got a treatment plant that takes sewage sludge
    and turns it into oil in 30 minutes.
  • 87:58 - 88:05
    There is a factory in Texas that takes turkey
    guts and pressurizes them, heats them, and
  • 88:06 - 88:07
    turns them into oil.
  • 88:07 - 88:12
    It said in the article: “We duplicated what
    Mother Nature does, but what took Mother Nature
  • 88:12 - 88:16
    millions of years to do, we do in about 30
    minutes.”
  • 88:16 - 88:20
    Sinclair has the dinosaur as their logo. They
    say dinosaurs turned into oil.
  • 88:20 - 88:27
    Yes, boys and girls, they mellowed for 80
    million years. I don’t think so.
  • 88:29 - 88:31
    I have a theory about the oil, and here is
    my theory:
  • 88:31 - 88:38
    I believe about 6,000 years ago, God created
    everything; 4,400 years ago there was a Flood.
  • 88:38 - 88:42
    In that Flood, lots of critters and people
    drowned.
  • 88:42 - 88:45
    They got buried by the gravel and the rocks
    and the mud and the sand, and it got pretty
  • 88:45 - 88:46
    heavy after a while.
  • 88:46 - 88:52
    And it squished them into oil. So the oil’s
    down there today from the people and animals
  • 88:52 - 88:57
    that drowned in that Flood. Which means if
    you stop to think about it, you drove over
  • 88:57 - 89:00
    here tonight on some of your ancestors.
  • 89:00 - 89:07
    Well, Noah’s uncles anyway. Next time you’re
    at the gas station, pumping him in there,
  • 89:07 - 89:08
    you can say,
  • 89:08 - 89:13
    “Bye, Grandpa. You should have listened to
    Noah; he told you it was going to rain!”
  • 89:13 - 89:19
    Hovind, “We know you teach the earth is only
    6,000 years old. We would like to prove to
  • 89:19 - 89:20
    you, you’re wrong.”
  • 89:20 - 89:23
    “Would you come with us, please?” I said,
    “Sure!”
  • 89:23 - 89:28
    They took me to this big freezer outside of
    Denver, in Lakewood, Colorado.
  • 89:28 - 89:33
    It’s the National Ice Core Laboratory. It
    is -36 degrees F (-38C) in there.
  • 89:33 - 89:37
    They put this big suit on me, big hat, big
    gloves, big boots. I was freezing in five
  • 89:37 - 89:38
    seconds when I walked in there.
  • 89:38 - 89:41
    I have got Florida blood, you know? It is
    real thin.
  • 89:41 - 89:44
    They said, “Hovind, we go to Greenland and
    we drill holes through the ice.”
  • 89:44 - 89:47
    You know, a government job.
  • 89:47 - 89:50
    “And, we take this big pipe and we drill it
    down, and we bring this ice core out of the
  • 89:50 - 89:51
    middle of the pipe.
  • 89:51 - 89:55
    And we save it in this big freezer here in
    Lakewood, Colorado.
  • 89:55 - 89:58
    We have ten ice cores from stored in this
    freezer.”
  • 89:58 - 90:02
    They took me over and showed me one of the
    ice cores. They said, “You see these rings
  • 90:02 - 90:04
    on here, looks like tree rings - dark, light,
    dark, light?”
  • 90:04 - 90:05
    I said, “Oh yeah, it’s real clear.”
  • 90:05 - 90:10
    They said, “Well what happens, in the summer,
    the snow melts a little bit, and then it refreezes
  • 90:10 - 90:12
    and makes clear ice.”
  • 90:12 - 90:15
    (It shows up dark in the picture.)
  • 90:15 - 90:20
    In the winter, the snow just packs. It doesn’t
    get a chance to melt.
  • 90:20 - 90:21
    And so it shows up as a white layer.
  • 90:21 - 90:25
    So these layers represent: summer, winter,
    summer, winter, summer, winter, summer, winter.
  • 90:25 - 90:30
    And they said, Now, the deepest hole we’ve
    ever drilled is 10,000 feet deep.
  • 90:30 - 90:36
    And we counted these ice rings. And there
    were 135,000 of them.
  • 90:36 - 90:40
    And now you’re going around telling everybody
    the earth is 6,000 years old.
  • 90:40 - 90:44
    We can prove it is at least 135,000 years
    old.
  • 90:44 - 90:47
    I said, “Fellas, aren’t you assuming those
    are annual rings?”
  • 90:47 - 90:50
    See, they didn’t know about the Lost Squadron,
    apparently.
  • 90:50 - 90:54
    But, in World War II, some airplanes ran out
    of gas and landed in Greenland. Has anybody
  • 90:54 - 90:58
    ever heard of the Lost Squadron? OK. It’s
    been on TV a bunch of times.
  • 90:58 - 91:03
    Well, the airplanes got left there in 1942.
  • 91:03 - 91:05
    They went on and fought the war, and everyone
    forgot about them.
  • 91:05 - 91:09
    Until a rich millionaire from Kentucky got
    a brilliant idea. Go find those airplanes
  • 91:09 - 91:11
    and bring them home.
  • 91:11 - 91:15
    He went there looking for the airplanes. They
    had to use ground-penetrating radar to penetrate
  • 91:15 - 91:19
    the ice, and they located the planes.
  • 91:19 - 91:26
    They melted this hole down to get to the P-38.
    It was 263 feet below the surface. They melted
  • 91:26 - 91:29
    this hole down to get down to the plane, took
    the plane apart, and brought the pieces back
  • 91:29 - 91:31
    through the hole.
  • 91:31 - 91:35
    And they put them back together in Middlesboro,
    Kentucky. Not too far from here.
  • 91:35 - 91:40
    How far is Middlesboro from Knoxville, Kentucky?
    Two hours, maybe?
  • 91:40 - 91:46
    That’s where their home base is, Middlesboro.
    The planes were in the ice for 48 years. They
  • 91:46 - 91:48
    were 263 feet down. That’s 5 1/2 feet a year.
  • 91:48 - 91:55
    Now, the deepest hole they’ve ever drilled
    is 10,000 feet. You divide that in half and
  • 91:55 - 91:58
    you get 1,800 years.
  • 91:58 - 92:01
    I know deeper layers get squished - called
    glacial firn.
  • 92:01 - 92:06
    So really 4,000 years is plenty of time to
    put all the ice at the north and south poles.
  • 92:06 - 92:10
    So, why isn’t there more ice at the north
    and south poles?
  • 92:10 - 92:16
    I visited the museum and saw the guy who dug
    out the airplane - his name is Bob Carden.
  • 92:16 - 92:21
    I said, “Bob, when you went down to get to
    that airplane, did you melt through ice rings?”
  • 92:21 - 92:24
    He said, “Oh yeah, many hundreds of them.”
  • 92:24 - 92:31
    I said, “Now wait a minute. How can there
    be hundreds of ice rings in 48 years? Shouldn’t
  • 92:31 - 92:33
    there be somewhere around 48?”
  • 92:33 - 92:40
    He said, “Who told you those are annual layers?”
    He said, “That doesn’t represent summer, winter,
  • 92:42 - 92:43
    summer, winter.
  • 92:43 - 92:46
    It represents warm, cold, warm, cold, warm,
    cold.”
  • 92:46 - 92:50
    You can get five of those in one week in Knoxville,
    can’t you?
  • 92:50 - 92:57
    But here’s a guy still calling them annual
    layers. Now either he is ignorant, or he is
  • 92:57 - 92:58
    lying.
  • 92:58 - 93:01
    I hope he is just ignorant because ignorance
    can be fixed.
  • 93:01 - 93:05
    You see, stupid is forever, but ignorance
    can be fixed. That is the difference by the
  • 93:05 - 93:06
    way.
  • 93:06 - 93:11
    A guy that works with the Eskimos said, “Brother
    Hovind, I got 15 layers of snow on my car
  • 93:11 - 93:13
    in 8 hours.
  • 93:13 - 93:17
    Not 15 inches, 15 distinct layers of snow!”
  • 93:17 - 93:21
    Your kids are going to be taught that each
    of the layers of the earth is a different
  • 93:21 - 93:22
    age.
  • 93:22 - 93:25
    They’ve got Cenozoic, Mesozoic, Paleozoic,
    Archaeozoic.
  • 93:25 - 93:28
    Did you know the whole geologic column is
    bologna?
  • 93:28 - 93:32
    It doesn’t exist. We cover that on video #4.
  • 93:32 - 93:38
    All over the world petrified trees are found
    standing up connecting these rock layers.
  • 93:38 - 93:42
    A petrified tree connecting a bunch of layers
    - there can’t be millions of years difference
  • 93:42 - 93:44
    in the age of the layers.
  • 93:44 - 93:47
    One is at Cookville, Tennessee- not far from
    here.
  • 93:47 - 93:51
    The bottom is coalified; the center is petrified;
    the top is coalified again.
  • 93:51 - 93:54
    The tree trunk runs through two coal seams.
  • 93:54 - 93:59
    We cover more of that in video #6 about coal
    formation. Mount Saint Helens blew trees into
  • 93:59 - 93:59
    Spirit Lake.
  • 93:59 - 94:02
    They’re going to petrify very quickly - standing
    up.
  • 94:02 - 94:06
    That’s the way they sank to the bottom. They
    got water logged. Wood petrifies quickly.
  • 94:06 - 94:08
    Here is petrified firewood.
  • 94:08 - 94:13
    Here is a petrified fish giving birth. It
    does not take millions of years to give birth.
  • 94:13 - 94:16
    Petrified cowboy boot with the cowboy’s leg
    still in it.
  • 94:16 - 94:20
    The article’s on the table down here called
    “The Limestone Cowboy.”
  • 94:20 - 94:27
    The Mississippi River is depositing sediments
    at the rate of 80,000 tons every hour. 80,000
  • 94:29 - 94:35
    tons of mud comes down and dumps off round
    New Orleans and that delta is growing larger
  • 94:35 - 94:36
    and larger.
  • 94:36 - 94:40
    They studied the delta pretty carefully, and
    they say it probably took 30,000 years to
  • 94:40 - 94:44
    put all that mud out there in the delta.
  • 94:44 - 94:46
    Well then, I have a question.
  • 94:46 - 94:50
    If the earth is millions of years old, why
    isn’t the whole Gulf of Mexico full of mud
  • 94:50 - 94:51
    by now?
  • 94:51 - 94:56
    They’ll say, “Hovind, it’s 30,000 years; that
    proves the Bible is wrong. The Bible says
  • 94:56 - 95:01
    6,000.” I know, but I have a theory about
    that.
  • 95:01 - 95:08
    I believe 6,000 years ago God made everything;
    4,400 hundred years ago there was a Flood.
  • 95:08 - 95:15
    As the floodwater was running off, about half
    of that mud washed out there in 20 minutes.
  • 95:15 - 95:21
    So it looks like it took 30,000 years to get
    the mud out there. It took about 20 minutes
  • 95:21 - 95:24
    and then 4,400 years since then.
  • 95:24 - 95:26
    A friend of mine from Louisiana is a pastor
    of a church.
  • 95:26 - 95:31
    He said, “Brother Hovind, I used to work in
    the oil field drilling in the Gulf of Mexico-
  • 95:31 - 95:32
    drilling for oil.”
  • 95:32 - 95:38
    He said, “We drilled down through 14,000 feet
    of mud and hit trees 60 feet tall standing
  • 95:38 - 95:40
    up.”
  • 95:40 - 95:45
    60-foot vertical trees under 14,000 feet of
    mud.
  • 95:45 - 95:46
    More about that on video #6.
  • 95:46 - 95:49
    Here is a picture of the oldest tree on the
    planet.
  • 95:49 - 95:50
    It’s called the Bristle cone pine.
  • 95:50 - 95:53
    We have a piece of Bristle cone in our museum
    in Pensacola.
  • 95:53 - 95:57
    It’s only 30 inches in diameter and it’s 700
    years old. You can count the rings with a
  • 95:57 - 95:58
    magnifying glass.
  • 95:58 - 96:03
    It grows real slow. Now tree-ring dating is
    not an exact science.
  • 96:03 - 96:07
    Trees can produce two rings a year or three
    rings a year.
  • 96:07 - 96:11
    And be very careful about tree-ring dating
    with overlapping sequencing.
  • 96:11 - 96:13
    We cover more on that during video #7, Q & A
    time, if you would like.
  • 96:13 - 96:20
    The oldest tree in the world, this textbook
    says, is 4,300 years old, earth’s oldest organism.
  • 96:20 - 96:26
    That’s a pretty old tree. But I’ve got a question.
  • 96:26 - 96:31
    If the earth is millions of years old, why
    don’t we have an older tree someplace?
  • 96:31 - 96:38
    Why would the oldest tree be 4,300 years old?
    I have a theory about that. Here’s my theory.
  • 96:38 - 96:44
    I believe about 6,000 years ago God made everything;
    4,400 years ago there was a Flood.
  • 96:44 - 96:50
    And so I predict the oldest tree ought to
    be somewhere around 4,300 years old. It is!
  • 96:50 - 96:51
    Wow!
  • 96:51 - 96:55
    Maybe that Bible is right! Maybe I ought to
    read that thing and believe it.
  • 96:55 - 96:59
    Here is a picture of a coral reef. Did you
    know that the largest reef in the world is
  • 96:59 - 97:01
    in Australia?
  • 97:01 - 97:03
    I had a call from a church in Brisbane one
    time. They said, “Do you want to come preach
  • 97:03 - 97:04
    over here in Australia?”
  • 97:04 - 97:11
    I said I need to pray about this. (He said,
    “Yes!”) I took my whole family over to Australia
  • 97:11 - 97:11
    with me.
  • 97:11 - 97:16
    My daughter and I got to go scuba diving at
    the Great Barrier Reef. It was incredible!
  • 97:16 - 97:21
    Some of the reef was destroyed during World
    War II by ships and anchors and bombs and
  • 97:21 - 97:22
    stuff like that.
  • 97:22 - 97:26
    So the environmentalists went out there to
    see how fast it grows back.
  • 97:26 - 97:33
    They watched the reef grow for 20 years. (It
    was a government project.)
  • 97:37 - 97:42
    After watching it grow for 20 years, they
    said the reef is less than 4,200 years old.
  • 97:42 - 97:47
    OK. Well, than I have a question.
  • 97:47 - 97:52
    If the earth is millions of years old, why
    don’t we have a bigger reef someplace?
  • 97:52 - 97:59
    Why on earth would the biggest reef be only
    4,200 years old? I have a theory about that.
  • 97:59 - 98:03
    I bet you know what it is, don’t you? Can
    you figure it out by now? Here’s a picture
  • 98:03 - 98:05
    of Niagara Falls.
  • 98:05 - 98:09
    The textbook says, “Boys and girls, the rocky
    ledge above Niagara Falls has been eroding
  • 98:09 - 98:10
    for nearly 9,900 years.”
  • 98:10 - 98:15
    Now how do they know that? Well, the rocks
    are breaking off the edge.
  • 98:15 - 98:20
    I mean, all waterfalls do that. They break
    rocks off and the waterfall eats its way backwards.
  • 98:20 - 98:23
    Flows one direction; erodes the other direction.
  • 98:23 - 98:28
    Niagara Falls is moving back 4.7 feet a year.
  • 98:28 - 98:31
    Charles Lyell went there in 1841 and said,
    “Well, Niagara Falls is here. Obviously, it
  • 98:31 - 98:36
    started up here at the cliff by Lewiston,
    New York [moving back down the gully].”
  • 98:36 - 98:41
    He said, “10,000 years worth of erosion.”
    The people that lived there said, “Charlie,
  • 98:41 - 98:45
    it erodes a whole lot faster than you think.
  • 98:45 - 98:49
    One good rainstorm and there is a whole lot
    of erosion takes place.” He figured three
  • 98:49 - 98:50
    feet a year
  • 98:50 - 98:53
    (purposely to make the Bible look wrong).
  • 98:53 - 98:56
    He hated the Bible. We get into more about
    him in video #4.
  • 98:56 - 98:59
    Today Niagara Falls is way back there, split
    over that island.
  • 98:59 - 99:05
    There are actually two Niagara Falls: the
    Canadian side and the American side.
  • 99:05 - 99:08
    It has eroded back quite a ways just since
    Charles Lyles’ time.
  • 99:08 - 99:15
    The textbook says, “This gorge that the river
    runs into is 7.5 miles long. A simple calculation
  • 99:15 - 99:19
    shows it’s been 9,900 years.” Oh, it’s not
    that simple.
  • 99:19 - 99:24
    See Niagara Falls is right here. It started
    up further north up by Lewiston.
  • 99:24 - 99:29
    If the earth is millions of years old, why
    hasn’t it eroded back to Lake Erie by now?
  • 99:29 - 99:36
    Why is Niagara Falls right there? I have a
    theory about that. Here is my theory.
  • 99:37 - 99:43
    You see about 6,000 years ago, God made everything;
    and 4,400 years ago there was a Flood.
  • 99:43 - 99:49
    As the floodwater was running off, about half
    of that creek washed out in 20 minutes.
  • 99:49 - 99:52
    So it looks like it took 9,900 years. They
    forgot the Flood.
  • 99:52 - 99:56
    They also forgot to get the right number.
    It should have been 8,400 had they used 4.7,
  • 99:56 - 99:58
    but what do you expect?
  • 99:58 - 100:02
    When it rains, 30% of the water runs into
    the ocean,
  • 100:02 - 100:06
    bringing with it mineral salts. The oceans
    are getting saltier every day.
  • 100:06 - 100:13
    Today the oceans are 3.6% salt. They could
    have done that in less than 5,000 years.
  • 100:13 - 100:16
    Question: Why aren’t the oceans saltier?
  • 100:16 - 100:23
    Well, you see 6,000 years ago God made everything;
    4,400 years ago there was a Flood.
  • 100:24 - 100:29
    Now since the Flood’s been over, the oceans
    have gradually gotten saltier.
  • 100:29 - 100:33
    One atheist I debated said, “Hovind, can you
    please tell me how the fresh-water fish survived
  • 100:33 - 100:34
    the Flood?”
  • 100:34 - 100:40
    I said, “Sir, aren’t you assuming the flood
    was salt water.” He said, “The ocean is salt
  • 100:40 - 100:43
    water.” I said, “It is - today.
  • 100:43 - 100:49
    During the Flood it was probably mostly fresh
    water and it has gradually gotten saltier.
  • 100:49 - 100:53
    And today some animals have had to adapt to
    salt water.
  • 100:53 - 100:57
    And now we have fresh-water crocodiles, and
    salt-water crocodiles, and they probably had
  • 100:57 - 101:03
    a common ancestor.
  • 101:03 - 101:06
    A crocodile.” He said, “That’s evolution.”
    I said, “No, it’s not.”
  • 101:06 - 101:11
    “Going from a fresh-water croc to a salt-water
    croc is a minor change compared to your evolution
  • 101:11 - 101:17
    story. You believe they changed from a rock
    to a crocodile. Now, that’s a major change!”
  • 101:17 - 101:23
    A friend of mine in Alabama raises fish and
    said he took a fresh-water fish, Black Mollies.
  • 101:23 - 101:27
    He slowly added salt to their aquarium. In
    two weeks, they became salt-water fish.
  • 101:27 - 101:32
    When he put them back in fresh water, they
    died in 30 minutes.
  • 101:32 - 101:34
    They can adapt to salt water, not a problem.
  • 101:34 - 101:38
    How many have ever gone into a cave and the
    guide said, “Don’t touch the formations; they
  • 101:38 - 101:41
    take millions of years to form.” They’ve all
    got the same speech, right?
  • 101:41 - 101:47
    What’s the one in Kentucky? Mammoth Cave?
    Or go to Carlsbad Caverns, and they say it
  • 101:47 - 101:49
    took 250 million years.
  • 101:49 - 101:52
    They did a study on these stalactites. And
    one guy said, “You know, the fastest they
  • 101:52 - 101:58
    can grow is 2.5 inches per thousand years.
    That’s the maximum growth rate.” I don’t think
  • 101:58 - 102:02
    so. Here are some 50-inch stalactites growing
    under the Lincoln Memorial.
  • 102:02 - 102:07
    They did that in 40 years. Here is a bat covered
    up with flowstone before it could even rot.
  • 102:07 - 102:12
    Here are 2-inch stalactites growing off a
    refrigeration shed in Pensacola, Florida.
  • 102:12 - 102:17
    Here is a guy in a building in Indiana built
    just 40 years ago. It has huge cave formations
  • 102:17 - 102:20
    in the basement of the building from water
    leaking through the limestone.
  • 102:20 - 102:24
    Here’s a mine that was shut down in Australia
    for 55 years. When they opened it back up
  • 102:24 - 102:28
    to check it out, there were already huge cave
    formations in 55 years.
  • 102:28 - 102:34
    Here is a pipe that was dripping for 7 years.
    It made a 13-inch stalactite. I thought it
  • 102:34 - 102:40
    was 2.5 inches per thousand years. It’s more
    like 2 inches per year.
  • 102:40 - 102:44
    They broke off the stalagmite that was under
    it and gave it to me. It’s in my museum.
  • 102:44 - 102:50
    Here is a parking garage built in 1997 in
    Texas. It was making stalagmites on the students’
  • 102:50 - 102:51
    cars parking under it.
  • 102:51 - 102:54
    They had to put up a drip pan to catch the
    water.
  • 102:54 - 102:59
    A guy in Wyoming had a hot mineral spring
    on his property in Thermopolis, Wyoming; so
  • 102:59 - 103:01
    he stuck a pipe in the ground.
  • 103:01 - 103:05
    The water came out the top of the pipe and
    bubbled down the side of the top of the pipe.
  • 103:05 - 103:08
    They had a little fountain. They called it
    the Tepee Fountain.
  • 103:08 - 103:12
    Well, the guy died. They left the pipe sticking
    in the yard.
  • 103:12 - 103:17
    As the pipe was there, it left behind mineral
    deposits as the water evaporated.
  • 103:17 - 103:21
    How many have seen these mineral deposits?
    You get them on your sink up here.
  • 103:21 - 103:26
    The guy died, and about 95 years later, the
    pipe was still stuck in the ground. I went
  • 103:26 - 103:27
    to see it.
  • 103:27 - 103:34
    Here it is, back in 1998. That would take
    some Lime A-way to scrub that thing clean,
  • 103:34 - 103:35
    don’t you think?
  • 103:35 - 103:41
    Yes, a little bit. The guy down the street
    started his later. It’s not quite as big.
  • 103:41 - 103:48
    You know, at the current rate of erosion,
    the continents will erode flat in 14 million
  • 103:48 - 103:49
    years?
  • 103:49 - 103:52
    Why do they tell us that we’ve got fossils
    that are 300 times older than that, still
  • 103:52 - 103:53
    above sea level?
  • 103:53 - 103:55
    They should have washed out to sea 300 times.
  • 103:55 - 104:00
    All you’ve got to do is fly out west and look
    at the erosion patterns, and you will say,
  • 104:00 - 104:02
    “This place was destroyed by a flood.”
  • 104:02 - 104:04
    The whole world was destroyed by a Flood.
  • 104:04 - 104:10
    Just fly around like I do and look out the
    window once in a while.
  • 104:10 - 104:15
    The oldest languages in the world are kind
    of interesting. “Origin of Major Writing Systems”
  • 104:15 - 104:19
    from “National Geographic.” What do they say?
  • 104:19 - 104:26
    Well, they say that the oldest writing systems
    in the world started about 3,000 BC - 5,000
  • 104:27 - 104:28
    years ago.
  • 104:28 - 104:35
    The oldest writing systems. And the oldest
    languages are modern, sophisticated, and complete.
  • 104:35 - 104:39
    The Chinese said the year 2,000 was the year
    4,700.
  • 104:39 - 104:44
    They think they started their calendar with
    the Flood. They called Noah, Phu Hi.
  • 104:44 - 104:50
    The oldest recorded capital punishment was
    3,800 years ago. The Hebrew calendar said
  • 104:50 - 104:53
    the year 2000 was 5760.
  • 104:53 - 104:56
    We know the Hebrew calendar was messed up
    because a Rabbi purposely took some years
  • 104:56 - 104:59
    out, to make it not match the prophecy to
    fit Jesus.
  • 104:59 - 105:05
    The Saxons had a genealogy going back to Adam.
    The Danes and Norwegians had a king list going
  • 105:05 - 105:07
    back to Noah.
  • 105:07 - 105:11
    Don’t trust the Egyptian king list. It is
    greatly exaggerated.
  • 105:11 - 105:13
    See the work by Courville on that, in “The
    Evolution Cruncher.”
  • 105:13 - 105:18
    Why are the oldest reliable historical records
    less than 6,000 years old?
  • 105:18 - 105:25
    Well, I have a theory about that. I bet you
    know what it is, don’t you?
  • 105:25 - 105:29
    That Bible is absolutely right, folks. Absolutely
    correct, scientifically.
  • 105:29 - 105:36
    The evidence for a young earth is overwhelming.
    Students aren’t taught that.
  • 105:36 - 105:40
    Students are only shown the evidence for an
    old earth. Remember the coins in the box?
  • 105:40 - 105:45
    They’d better deal with the youngest ones.
    Not the oldest ones.
  • 105:45 - 105:49
    These books aren’t really science books anymore.
    They are books about evolution.
  • 105:49 - 105:51
    I think it’s part of a much bigger picture,
    for a New World Order.
  • 105:51 - 105:56
    You see, the guys that started this country
    said, “We hold these truths to be self evident...
  • 105:56 - 106:03
    All men are created equal, they are endowed
    by their Creator with certain unalienable
  • 106:06 - 106:12
    rights.”
  • 106:12 - 106:19
    But did you know that 75% of kids from Christian
    homes who go to public schools will reject
  • 106:22 - 106:25
    the Christian faith after one year of college?
  • 106:25 - 106:29
    That’s what happened to Crawford Toy.
  • 106:29 - 106:32
    Most people have never heard of Crawford Toy,
    but he was a very famous Southern Baptist
  • 106:32 - 106:35
    seminary professor.
  • 106:35 - 106:40
    He almost married a girl named Lottie Moon.
    Has anybody ever heard of Lottie Moon?
  • 106:40 - 106:44
    You know, you guys have the Lottie Moon offering
    every Christmas. She was a great missionary
  • 106:44 - 106:45
    to China.
  • 106:45 - 106:50
    Crawford Toy, after the Civil War, went to
    Europe and learned about evolution.
  • 106:50 - 106:55
    He sucked it in, and believed it. He became
    an evolutionist.
  • 106:55 - 106:58
    Crawford came back to his Bible class and
    said, “You know, the Bible intends to teach
  • 106:58 - 107:00
    a plain six-day creation.
  • 107:00 - 107:06
    The Bible is simply in error at that point.”
  • 107:06 - 107:09
    The Bible is in error?! Now Crawford, hold
    on!
  • 107:09 - 107:15
    Maybe your theory is in error and maybe you
    got brainwashed. It’s very easy to get brainwashed.
  • 107:15 - 107:20
    I am going to try to brainwash the whole crowd,
    and then we are going to quit and go home.
  • 107:20 - 107:24
    Tomorrow we’ll talk about the Garden of Eden.
    What was that like? And why did they live
  • 107:24 - 107:25
    to be 900?
  • 107:25 - 107:28
    But first, I want to try to brainwash everybody.
    Here’s what’s going to happen.
  • 107:28 - 107:34
    I am going to tell you a little story. As
    I tell the story, I will brainwash you.
  • 107:34 - 107:37
    Maybe you’ve never been brainwashed before.
    It’s a harmless procedure. Don’t worry about
  • 107:37 - 107:38
    it.
  • 107:38 - 107:43
    When I am done telling the story, I will ask
    you two simple questions about the story.
  • 107:43 - 107:47
    If you know the answer, I just want you to
    raise your hand.
  • 107:47 - 107:52
    If you don’t know the answer, it will be because
    you have been successfully brainwashed.
  • 107:52 - 107:59
    Now pay attention: here goes the story. Once
    upon a time, a man left home, jogging.
  • 108:00 - 108:05
    He jogged a little ways and turned left. He
    jogged a little ways and turned left.
  • 108:05 - 108:09
    He jogged a little ways, turned left, and
    jogged back home.
  • 108:09 - 108:14
    As he was jogging home, he noticed two masked
    men waiting for him at home.
  • 108:14 - 108:18
    Who were the masked men? And why did he leave
    home jogging?
  • 108:18 - 108:22
    If you know, raise your hand, but don’t say
    it out loud. There are about five or six.
  • 108:22 - 108:28
    The rest of you, pay attention, we are going
    to try it again.
  • 108:28 - 108:33
    Once upon a time, a man left home jogging.
    He jogged a little ways and turned left.
  • 108:33 - 108:38
    I’ll give you a hint - that’s important. He
    jogged a little ways and turned left.
  • 108:38 - 108:42
    He jogged a little ways, turned left, and
    jogged back home.
  • 108:42 - 108:46
    As he was jogging home, he noticed two masked
    men waiting for him at home.
  • 108:46 - 108:50
    Who were the masked men? And why did he leave
    home jogging?
  • 108:50 - 108:54
    Anybody new figure it out? ...Two more.
  • 108:54 - 108:59
    The rest of you, pay attention. We are going
    to try it one more time.
  • 108:59 - 109:03
    But now I am going to un-brainwash you.
  • 109:03 - 109:08
    See, you didn’t realize it, but I had you
    brainwashed in the first three seconds.
  • 109:08 - 109:13
    I am going to un-brainwash all of you now,
    just by showing you a couple of pictures.
  • 109:13 - 109:17
    I’ll tell the same story word for word, but
    watch the pictures.
  • 109:17 - 109:20
    You will feel yourself get un-brainwashed.
  • 109:20 - 109:24
    It’s the coolest feeling. Are you ready? Here
    goes.
  • 109:24 - 109:31
    Once upon a time, a man left home jogging.
    He jogged a little ways and turned left.
  • 109:31 - 109:36
    He jogged a little ways and turned left. He
    jogged a little ways, turned left, and jogged
  • 109:36 - 109:37
    back home.
  • 109:37 - 109:43
    As he was jogging home, he noticed two masked
    men waiting for him at home.
  • 109:43 - 109:47
    Who were the masked men? The catcher and the
    umpire!
  • 109:47 - 109:53
    You say, “Brother Hovind, is it that easy
    to get brainwashed?” Oh yeah!
  • 109:53 - 109:58
    You see, as soon as I said, “A man left home...”
  • 109:58 - 110:02
    You started thinking about a house. And you
    were off track.
  • 110:02 - 110:06
    And once you get off track, it’s pretty tough
    to get back on.
  • 110:06 - 110:10
    Would you like to see how kids get brainwashed
    in your school system by the millions every
  • 110:10 - 110:12
    year?
  • 110:12 - 110:15
    Millions of kids in America, every single
    year, get brainwashed. And it’s so simple
  • 110:15 - 110:16
    how they do it.
  • 110:16 - 110:21
    They put the kid in kindergarten; he can’t
    even read yet.
  • 110:21 - 110:27
    And they give him a book like this: “I Can
    Read About Dinosaurs.”
  • 110:27 - 110:31
    Would anybody like to just take a wild guess
    at what the first sentence in the book says?
  • 110:31 - 110:35
    “Millions of years ago....”
  • 110:35 - 110:41
    And that kid’s being thrown off track in the
    first five seconds.
  • 110:41 - 110:47
    How many kids are being taught that in your
    town? Like all of them. That’s calling Jesus
  • 110:47 - 110:48
    a liar.
  • 110:48 - 110:53
    Did dinosaurs live millions of years ago?
    Dr. Seuss even says it, “Millions of years
  • 110:53 - 110:55
    before you were born.”
  • 110:55 - 110:59
    Jesus said the creation of Adam was the beginning.
  • 110:59 - 111:04
    Somebody’s wrong, folks! Now wait a minute,
    the Bible says before the Flood came, they
  • 111:04 - 111:06
    lived to be 900 years old.
  • 111:06 - 111:13
    How is that possible? Oh, we’ll cover that
    in seminar part #2 tomorrow. What about the
  • 111:13 - 111:14
    Flood?
  • 111:14 - 111:18
    Well, that’s covered in video #6. And what
    about dinosaurs? Well, that’s covered on video
  • 111:18 - 111:19
    #3.
  • 111:19 - 111:23
    But listen, you are going to be told in school
    you started like a slime and you slowly became
  • 111:23 - 111:26
    a human. You be careful, because that philosophy
    will spoil you.
  • 111:26 - 111:31
    Jesus said, “Beware lest any man spoil you
    through philosophy and vain deceit, after
  • 111:31 - 111:35
    the tradition of men, after the rudiments
    of the world, and not after Christ.”
  • 111:35 - 111:40
    Hey, if a child goes 12 to 16 years to school
    in your town, how is he going to view the
  • 111:40 - 111:42
    world?
  • 111:42 - 111:45
    Probably as an evolutionist.
  • 111:45 - 111:50
    If the Bible is right about the beginning,
    maybe it’s right about the end. Let’s summarize
  • 111:50 - 111:52
    here.
  • 111:52 - 111:56
    God made the world. He owns it. He makes the
    rules. And we are all guilty of breaking His
  • 111:56 - 111:58
    rules.
  • 111:58 - 111:59
    Everyone of us. Let me show you. Here are
    the Ten Commandments.
  • 111:59 - 112:06
    He told us, “Thou shall not bear false witness.”
    (Don’t lie.) How many of you have ever told
  • 112:06 - 112:09
    a lie in your life?
  • 112:09 - 112:13
    Put your hand up, or you’re telling another
    one if you don’t!
  • 112:13 - 112:17
    “Thou shalt not steal.” How many ever stole
    something?
  • 112:17 - 112:23
    Come on, you already told me you are a liar.
    Put your hand up. (Did your hand go up, there,
  • 112:23 - 112:24
    brother? Put it up.)
  • 112:24 - 112:28
    So far, we know we’re all a bunch of lying
    thieves, right?
  • 112:28 - 112:32
    Do you want to read the whole list and see
    how we are doing? We’d better stop right there.
  • 112:32 - 112:35
    There is no question, we are guilty. And we
    are going to be punished.
  • 112:35 - 112:39
    God is a righteous judge. He cannot look upon
    sin, and we are going to be punished.
  • 112:39 - 112:44
    Or, you need to find a substitute. That’s
    where Jesus comes in.
  • 112:44 - 112:46
    He wants to pay for your sins.
  • 112:46 - 112:50
    Thirty-six years ago, I told him he could
    pay for mine. I asked him to forgive me and
  • 112:50 - 112:51
    save me.
  • 112:51 - 112:57
    Hey, if you died today, where would you go?
    Smoking or non-smoking?
  • 112:57 - 113:02
    Where are you going when you die?
  • 113:02 - 113:09
    You ought to think about that, because you
    are going to be dead for a really long time.
  • 113:09 - 113:13
    All you get in this life is a little bitty
    dash between two dates. I am going to die
  • 113:13 - 113:14
    someday.
  • 113:14 - 113:19
    I am going to try to make it the last thing
    I do, but it’s going to happen. It could happen
  • 113:19 - 113:21
    today.
  • 113:21 - 113:25
    Have you seen the way they drive around Knoxville,
    Tennessee?
  • 113:25 - 113:27
    You have got some certified rednecks out there,
    folks.
  • 113:27 - 113:32
    And you could get killed on the way home tonight.
    Where are you going when you die?
  • 113:32 - 113:37
    If you are not sure you are saved, why don’t
    you ask the Lord to forgive you and save you.
  • 113:37 - 113:41
    And if you are saved, what on earth are you
    doing for Heaven’s sake?
  • 113:41 - 113:45
    Everybody ought to find something to do for
    the Lord. There is a war going on; find something
  • 113:45 - 113:46
    to do.
  • 113:46 - 113:50
    Get busy. Win souls. Be a Sunday school teacher,
    bus driver; do something for God with your
  • 113:50 - 113:51
    life.
  • 113:50 - 113:54
    If we can help, that is what our materials
    are for. There’s a catalog on the back table
  • 113:54 - 113:54
    back there.
  • 113:54 - 113:57
    as well as our videos. We want to help strengthen
    your faith in God’s Word.
  • 113:57 - 114:02
    We hope you’ve enjoyed this series on creation,
    evolution, and dinosaurs.
  • 114:02 - 114:06
    Much more important, though, than knowing
    all the truths and facts about science,
  • 114:06 - 114:08
    is to know the truth about whether you’re
    going to Heaven or not.
  • 114:08 - 114:11
    If you’ve never trusted Christ as your Savior,
  • 114:11 - 114:14
    Let me explain quickly what you need to do
    to be able to go to Heaven.
  • 114:14 - 114:17
    The Bible says we’re all sinners. We’ve all
    broken God’s laws.
  • 114:17 - 114:22
    We’ve disobeyed the Creator. We’ve done wicked
    things; we’re sinners.
  • 114:22 - 114:27
    Some are worse than others, at least in man’s
    eyes, but we’ve all broken God’s laws.
  • 114:27 - 114:30
    The Bible says you have to repent. The word
    repent means “to turn.”
  • 114:30 - 114:34
    It actually means two things, “to turn from
    your sin, and to turn to God.”
  • 114:34 - 114:35
    God’s looking for a change in your attitude.
  • 114:35 - 114:40
    You say, “Lord, I don’t want to do wrong anymore;
    I’m sorry I have offended You. I want to do
  • 114:40 - 114:40
    right.”
  • 114:40 - 114:43
    And you turn from sin and you turn to God.
  • 114:43 - 114:46
    You say, “God, would you please forgive me,
    would you save me?”
  • 114:46 - 114:49
    The Bible says in Romans 3:23,
  • 114:49 - 114:54
    “All have sinned and come short of the glory
    of God.” You need to admit you’re a sinner.
  • 114:54 - 114:58
    Number two, the Bible says in Romans 6:23,
    “The wages of sin is death.”
  • 114:58 - 115:04
    We deserve to die and go to hell because of
    our sin, but Jesus died for you.
  • 115:04 - 115:07
    He loves you. He wants you come to Heaven.
  • 115:07 - 115:11
    Anybody that will ask Him for free salvation
    God will give the gift of eternal life, it
  • 115:11 - 115:12
    says in Romans 6:23.
  • 115:12 - 115:17
    It’s a free gift. And it says in Romans 10:13,
    “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the
  • 115:17 - 115:20
    Lord shall be saved.”
  • 115:20 - 115:24
    If you would just call and say, “Lord, I’m
    a sinner. Please forgive me,” and ask Him,
  • 115:24 - 115:27
    He will give you that free gift of eternal
    life.
  • 115:27 - 115:30
    Why don’t you just pray with me right now
    and you could receive Christ as your Savior.
  • 115:30 - 115:33
    There are no magic words; God’s looking at
    your heart, but if you could say this and
  • 115:33 - 115:35
    mean it, God would forgive you.
  • 115:35 - 115:41
    Just say, “Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I’m
    a sinner. I’ve broken Your laws. I’m sorry.
  • 115:41 - 115:43
    Please forgive me.
  • 115:43 - 115:49
    Please apply Your blood to my account. Forgive
    my sins and take me to Heaven. In Jesus’ name,
  • 115:49 - 115:49
    Amen.”
  • 115:49 - 115:53
    The Bible says if you call upon the Lord,
    you shall be saved.
  • 115:53 - 115:57
    So if you’ve asked the Lord to save you, He
    promised He’d save you. Now your job is to
  • 115:57 - 115:57
    grow.
  • 115:57 - 116:01
    Read your Bible, pray, get involved in a good
    Bible-believing church, and begin to grow
  • 116:01 - 116:02
    to be a good Christian.
  • 116:02 - 116:06

    be any help at all. We’d be glad to help.
