I hope you had a great week of 4 00:00:09,700 --> 00:00:11,900 ministry. It was wonderful, being able to 5 00:00:11,900 --> 00:00:16,400 participate and enjoy Easter services with so many of you. 6 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,900 As we started our brand new sermon series called if and in 7 00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:24,300 continuation of this sermon series designed to strengthen 8 00:00:24,300 --> 00:00:27,600 the faith of those who have it and start the faith of those who 9 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,800 are looking for it. We have a A very special guest. 10 00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:37,600 Ken Ham is the CEO and founder of Answers in Genesis, it is 11 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,200 highly acclaimed. The highly acclaimed Creation 12 00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:44,800 Museum, as well as the renowned world-renowned Ark encounter. 13 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,800 He is the author of more than 25 books can and his wife, reside. 14 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,600 In Northern Kentucky, they have five children, 18 grandchildren, 15 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,200 suffice to say this means tired. But more importantly, this man 16 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,200 is smart. Art. 17 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,600 He loves Jesus and he's here this weekend with us. 18 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,700 Will you put your hands together and welcome our new friend to 19 00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:18,600 the crossing Ken Ham? Well, thanks fighting straight 20 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,400 to be here. Of course, you did forget to 21 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,900 tell people that I came from Australia originally. 22 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,000 So I hope I still sound like that and actually, I find as an 23 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,000 Australian in America. People love the Australian 24 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,600 accent and they say, doesn't matter what you say. 25 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,000 We just love to hear you saying it so I can get away with 26 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,200 whatever. Well, I come from an 27 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,500 organization called Answers in Genesis and it's an apologetics 28 00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:43,100 organization. And that's a word we're going to 29 00:01:43,100 --> 00:01:46,800 talk about in this. This presentation apologetics 30 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,900 and I'll come back to that. It doesn't mean we apologize for 31 00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:51,700 our faith, quite the opposite. We're showing people, we can 32 00:01:51,700 --> 00:01:54,600 defend the Christian faith and giving answers to the skeptical 33 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,800 questions about age. We also build the two leading 34 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,900 Christian themed attractions in the world. 35 00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:05,200 The ark encounter is a life-size Noah's Ark and we get thousands 36 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,000 of people coming in there every day and we have a conference 37 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,200 center. And virtual reality ride, a 38 00:02:11,208 --> 00:02:15,300 carousel zoo, we have all sorts of interesting, Seeing things, 39 00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:18,100 they're from a Biblical perspective Ziplines because 40 00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:22,500 Christians can have fun too and you can walk through the arc, 41 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,000 sub 510 feet, long 3.3 million board feet of Timber and has 130 42 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,500 different exhibits in there and we answer all sorts of skeptical 43 00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:35,800 questions that people have to help them to be able to defend 44 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,700 their faith. How could now get the animals on 45 00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:39,900 the ark? And where's the evidence of the 46 00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:41,700 flood? And how do you explain fossils 47 00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:45,300 and all those sorts of things? We have live animal Alms as well 48 00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:48,100 teaching from a Biblical worldview perspective because 49 00:02:48,100 --> 00:02:51,200 when you go to the zoo, it's mainly Evolution that you hear 50 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,200 everything from an evolutionist perspective. 51 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,200 And so people pour in here, A whole emphasis to is helping 52 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,500 people understand that this event in the Bible was true 53 00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:02,100 because the Bible's history is true. 54 00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:05,000 And the message of the Gospel based on that, history is true. 55 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,600 And then the Creation Museum which really is like a whole. 56 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,600 Walk Through the Bible, we have beautiful gardens there and 57 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,800 children's playground and so on we have an animal experience 58 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,500 area as well. And zip lines are two again 59 00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:19,500 because Christians can have fun and we have lots of other fun 60 00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:24,100 things, we have a planetarium with a laser projection system 61 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,600 and also 4-D Theater and then a whole Walk Through the Bible, 62 00:03:28,700 --> 00:03:30,800 answering all sorts of questions, explaining in the 63 00:03:30,808 --> 00:03:33,300 whole history of the Bible. We walk through all the 64 00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:34,900 different major events of the Bible. 65 00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:37,700 We present the gospel based in that history. 66 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,700 We have a dinosaur exhibit Insectarium and we also have the 67 00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:44,600 most powerful pro-life exhibit in the world. 68 00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:47,700 And that has really had an impact on people. 69 00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:50,500 We have a Borderland exhibit what happened between the Old 70 00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:54,200 Testament and the New Testament. Christmas lights all sorts of 71 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,400 Christmas programming at both locations and now you all want 72 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:03,200 to come, right? A burst of scripture want to 73 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,400 start off with is First, Peter 3:15, always be prepared to make 74 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,600 a defense or answer. Now, defense or answer is 75 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,700 translated from the Greek word apologia from which we get our 76 00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:15,900 word apologetics. What it really means is to give 77 00:04:16,100 --> 00:04:17,800 a logical reason defense of the faith. 78 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,500 One of the things I find today in something that's missing from 79 00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:22,800 a lot of the church. I find a lot of the materials 80 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,100 that are used is. Most people are not being 81 00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:28,400 taught, how to answer the skeptical questions of the age, 82 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,600 when people come up to you and say, well, how did Noah get the 83 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,200 animals on the ark? Well, Why? 84 00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:36,100 What about the age of the Earth? Well, what do you what do you 85 00:04:36,100 --> 00:04:38,900 believe about Cain's wife or where did the different races of 86 00:04:38,900 --> 00:04:43,200 people come from and so on and the Skeptics use those questions 87 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,600 to say? See the Bible's not true and for 88 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,900 a lot of people have been so impacted by the secular World in 89 00:04:48,900 --> 00:04:52,300 evolutionary ideas, they doubt that you can really trust a 90 00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:54,600 God's word. So, what I wanted to show you is 91 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,500 what a difference, it makes when we can go out there and defend 92 00:04:57,500 --> 00:04:59,200 our faith. So some comes up to you and 93 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,900 says, well, how do we know there's a God? 94 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,400 Do you believe in God? Wildest science confirm an 95 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,000 infinite god. Well let me just give you one 96 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,700 little example here, DNA that molecule of heredity you know, 97 00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:13,000 it makes up our chromosomes as jeans. 98 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,800 All the information that builds us as a human or builds a dog or 99 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,100 a cat or a horse or whatever. You know, that molecule of 100 00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:21,900 Coretta. Tree was discovered in 1953 by 101 00:05:21,900 --> 00:05:25,600 two British scientists Crick and Watson and they were atheists. 102 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000 And when they discovered that model a build a model of it, 103 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,900 I've been over to London where you see the actual model of DNA. 104 00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:36,500 You know what they said? They said this proves is no God. 105 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,100 In fact, when he was 86 years old Crick said at the 50th 106 00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:44,800 anniversary of the discovery of that molecule, the god 107 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,700 hypothesis is rather discredited he'd need. 108 00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:50,600 He says, his distaste for religion, was one of the Prime 109 00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:54,000 motives in the work that led to that Sensational Discovery. 110 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,900 In other words, he said, one of the main reasons we set out to 111 00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:00,900 find out about this, molecule of heredity, is to show people. 112 00:06:00,900 --> 00:06:03,900 There is no God because Cuz he was an atheist and then when 113 00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:06,800 they discovered that DNA molecule, they said here it is. 114 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,400 It's just a molecule life is built on chemistry, there is no 115 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,400 God. Well we've done a lot of work 116 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,100 since end on DNA. You know what we found out? 117 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,100 DNA is not just chemistry, you know what DNA is. 118 00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:20,700 It's an information system in a language system. 119 00:06:21,100 --> 00:06:23,000 See think about this for a moment. 120 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,900 If you have a piece of rope and you've got red and blue beads, 121 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,700 those red blue beads are spell out the word help you all know 122 00:06:31,700 --> 00:06:32,400 that. Right? 123 00:06:33,100 --> 00:06:35,300 If you know the morse code they spell out the word help. 124 00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:37,900 If you don't know the morse code they're red and blue beads on a 125 00:06:37,900 --> 00:06:41,000 route. But if you know that if you know 126 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,800 the language then you understand it. 127 00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:46,400 Do you realize if we had enough rope and enough beads, we could 128 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,900 spell out the entire Bible using pieces of rope and Beads like 129 00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:52,000 that. But, here's the thing, when I 130 00:06:52,008 --> 00:06:55,400 would University, I remember a faster saying, look, there's no 131 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,900 God, just by chance random processes, all these molecules 132 00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:01,200 came together course. The question is, where they come 133 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:02,900 from in the first place. Well they don't want to answer 134 00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:06,100 that, don't worry about that but they all came together by chance 135 00:07:06,100 --> 00:07:10,400 random processes to form DNA. Bingo, there's life and he 136 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,200 didn't experiment. He said, let's cut the letters 137 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,000 of the alphabet up, put them in a hat. 138 00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:16,200 And then he handed the hat around the class and ask 139 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,500 students to pull out letters, three of them in a row pulled 140 00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:21,600 out baat. He said, oh look, we got a word, 141 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,500 but we got a word by chance given enough time we could get 142 00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:27,500 more words given enough time. Even though it sounds remote, 143 00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:29,700 you must admit by chance. You could actually get 144 00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:32,900 sentences. You could get the Yeah, I see 145 00:07:32,900 --> 00:07:34,800 that's what happened. Millions years ago, it just was 146 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,400 by chance, just right Arrangement at the right time 147 00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:40,900 and got life but that would be 80. 148 00:07:40,900 --> 00:07:43,700 Is that a word to a Japanese or Chinese? 149 00:07:43,700 --> 00:07:47,400 A Frenchman whose in a word to, it's only a word to somebody who 150 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,200 already has the language. When you look at my Bible here 151 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,600 it's in the English language but if I only spoke Russian, I 152 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,200 wouldn't be able to read it. You've got to know the language 153 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,000 to read it. And you know, here's the 154 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,100 interesting thing. When you look at DNA DNA, Like 155 00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:05,700 all these molecules if you like base pairs and there are all 156 00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:10,300 lined up in a particular order, but you've got to have a 157 00:08:10,300 --> 00:08:11,700 language to be able to read them. 158 00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:16,200 Well, you know, that DNA makes the language that reads the DNA 159 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,300 and other words, he's got the information to make the language 160 00:08:19,300 --> 00:08:22,800 and it's got the information. DNA is like a whole library of 161 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,300 information with all these engineering diagrams, and all 162 00:08:26,300 --> 00:08:28,900 the instructions on how to build a human or a cat, or a dog. 163 00:08:28,900 --> 00:08:32,900 And then DNA has information to read the Structures to make it 164 00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:34,500 work. And, you know, something that we 165 00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:37,200 know for sure. No one has ever seen matter. 166 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,900 Produced one bit of information, do you know how much information 167 00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:42,600 is in living things? Zillions, of bits of information 168 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,600 in living things? No one's ever seen matter. 169 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,900 Produced one bit of information. No one's ever seen matter 170 00:08:47,900 --> 00:08:51,100 producer language language is only come from an intelligence 171 00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:52,900 information. Only comes from an intelligence, 172 00:08:52,900 --> 00:08:56,200 you're not a DNA, really cries out in the beginning. 173 00:08:56,300 --> 00:08:59,500 God created is an exciting to be a Christian. 174 00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:03,300 Wow, there's few people excited. And so hopefully a lot of you 175 00:09:03,300 --> 00:09:05,200 excited courses excited to be a Christian. 176 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,100 Hey you know what? Romans 1:20 says for his 177 00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:10,800 invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature 178 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,700 have been clearly perceived ever since the creation of the world 179 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,300 in that things that have been made. 180 00:09:15,300 --> 00:09:17,400 So they are without excuse, can you see now? 181 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,300 Why the Bible says? If you don't believe in God, you 182 00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:22,500 without excuse, because there's no way life could come about by 183 00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:26,000 chance random processes. And yet, for those who don't 184 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,800 believe the Bible, they believe there was a big bang billions 185 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,100 years ago. They can't explain, where matter 186 00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:33,900 came from, or a Thing like that. Why does time exists? 187 00:09:33,900 --> 00:09:36,500 Why does space exists? They can't explain anything like 188 00:09:36,500 --> 00:09:38,200 that. Somehow, there's energy. 189 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,500 There's matter. There's a big bang and somehow 190 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,800 this Earth forms, and then somehow molecules supposedly 191 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,100 come together and form information, and form a language 192 00:09:48,100 --> 00:09:50,800 to enable one kind of animal to change into another. 193 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,300 As more information, is formed over millions of years where 194 00:09:54,300 --> 00:09:56,800 we've never seen matter, produced one bit of information. 195 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,100 You see why the Bible says, if you don't believe you without 196 00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:03,100 excuse, and in fact, the interesting thing, Is I have 197 00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:04,900 people like atheist, who will say to me? 198 00:10:04,900 --> 00:10:07,600 Oh, you Christians, you have a blind faith in God? 199 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,500 No, no, we don't have a blind faith. 200 00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:12,000 We have an objective faith. We have a faith that makes sense 201 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,000 of the facts and actually science observational science. 202 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,900 Confirms, it is the atheist that has a blind faith. 203 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,300 Not only a blind. Faith is more than that, it's a 204 00:10:20,300 --> 00:10:24,200 faith, that lacks credulity, because there's no basis, 205 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,900 whatever that they have for explaining how life could arise 206 00:10:27,900 --> 00:10:31,200 by chance, random processes. And just to give you a little 207 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,900 example here, How inconsistent people are in regard to these 208 00:10:34,900 --> 00:10:36,800 sorts of things? You imagine. 209 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,800 I'm sure you've seen programs on television where scientists will 210 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,400 go into a cave, and there's a look in this cave. 211 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,700 They'll find an arrowhead. And as soon as they find an 212 00:10:46,700 --> 00:10:49,800 arrowhead, they'll say, ah, they're human beings here, 213 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,900 evidence of intelligence look, you can see from the card 214 00:10:52,900 --> 00:10:54,800 Arrowhead. See, that's evidence of 215 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,400 intelligence. Then they look at DNA the most 216 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,300 complex information system in the entire universe and they 217 00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:03,400 say, chance, chance chance. Chance yet, they look at an 218 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,100 arrowhead and they say, intelligence intelligent. 219 00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:09,500 You see why the Bible says, if you don't believe you without 220 00:11:09,500 --> 00:11:11,400 excuse. But of course, then there are 221 00:11:11,408 --> 00:11:15,400 people that say to me, well who made God then and you know, 222 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,400 these are the sorts of questions we need to answer. 223 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,900 How do you answer a nine-year-old or a six-year-old? 224 00:11:20,900 --> 00:11:25,400 When they say, you know, mum dad who made God well, we need to be 225 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:26,900 able to have answers for what we believe. 226 00:11:26,900 --> 00:11:29,500 That's what we specialize in & Answers in Genesis, helping us 227 00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:32,900 to have those answers. That's apologetics I am boy come 228 00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:34,900 up on stage once at a conference and he said mr. 229 00:11:34,900 --> 00:11:37,400 Ham, who made God I said, well, son. 230 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,600 If somebody made God, you have to have a bigger God, right? 231 00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:41,800 Well, yes sir, I said now we got a problem. 232 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,400 Yes, sir. Well who made the bigger God? 233 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,300 You don't have a bigger big guy. Who made the big guy to may God, 234 00:11:47,300 --> 00:11:49,700 right? Oh yes sir, I said now you got a 235 00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:53,000 problem. He said yes sir I said who made 236 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,400 the bigger bigger God, you have to have a big, a big, a big guy 237 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,800 who made the bigger be going to make the big God may God, right? 238 00:11:57,900 --> 00:11:59,900 Yes sir. Now I got a problem. 239 00:11:59,900 --> 00:12:02,500 I know who made the bigamy. Mm God. 240 00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:04,200 Having a bigger bigger bigger bigger God. 241 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,100 Who made the bigger bigger? Bigger made the big a big yard 242 00:12:06,100 --> 00:12:08,000 maybe going to make God, right? Yes, sir. 243 00:12:08,500 --> 00:12:11,500 Well, now you got. I know, I know and I said, see, 244 00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:15,000 you go back and you get the biggest God of all, you got to 245 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,300 keep going back and getting bigger and bigger. 246 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,900 You're the biggest guy out of all very first verse of the 247 00:12:18,900 --> 00:12:21,300 Bible. In the beginning, God who exists 248 00:12:21,300 --> 00:12:26,000 outside of time, nobody Creator, God, he is the Creator. 249 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,500 And that's the only thing that makes sense of what we see. 250 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,800 And there's always a faith aspect. 251 00:12:31,900 --> 00:12:34,700 That's true without faith. It's impossible to please God, 252 00:12:34,700 --> 00:12:37,300 because we're finite beings and we're created beings. 253 00:12:37,300 --> 00:12:40,900 We can't understand a being who wasn't created because we are 254 00:12:40,900 --> 00:12:43,400 created and we're created in time. 255 00:12:43,900 --> 00:12:47,300 But when you take God's word, they claims to be the word of 256 00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:49,000 the one, who's always been there. 257 00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:53,500 He makes sense of what we see over and over again, we see 258 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,200 science, confirms what the Bible is saying. 259 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,900 This is the word of God. Let me give you another example. 260 00:13:00,900 --> 00:13:03,700 What about the account of the flood in the Bible and Noah's 261 00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:06,900 Ark seeing is just talked about the life-size art that we have 262 00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:10,100 there in Northern Kentucky, does science confirm the account of 263 00:13:10,100 --> 00:13:12,700 the Ark, you know, one of the most asked questions I've been 264 00:13:12,700 --> 00:13:15,600 asked over the years is this, well, how could Noah get all the 265 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,700 land out of all kinds on the ark? 266 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,700 Well, he didn't get all the species on the ark because 267 00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:24,900 species aren't kinds. I want to explain what I mean by 268 00:13:24,900 --> 00:13:28,100 that when you come to the ark encounter, those are said, when 269 00:13:28,100 --> 00:13:31,900 not if when you come to the ark encounter, you'll see we have on 270 00:13:31,900 --> 00:13:33,300 the first deck, a little exhibit. 271 00:13:33,300 --> 00:13:38,400 We say at the most only 1393 animal kinds on the ark, we 272 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,500 think it's much less than that. That it's an argument. 273 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,500 You know, that overestimates for that for the sake of argument, 274 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,800 but we think it's probably less than 1,000 animal. 275 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,900 Kinds not millions of species. A thousand animal kinds. 276 00:13:50,100 --> 00:13:54,000 And we have a list of all kinds there and all the research that 277 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:59,300 we did to explain how we explain those kinds. 278 00:13:59,300 --> 00:14:03,700 You see the Bible says in This is 124 that God made kinds 279 00:14:03,700 --> 00:14:08,300 according to their kind kinds so we have to understand what a 280 00:14:08,308 --> 00:14:10,700 kind is. And then in Genesis 6, it says, 281 00:14:10,700 --> 00:14:15,600 two of each kind seven pairs of some but two of each kind of 282 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,400 land-dwelling air-breathing animals, not the sea creatures 283 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,200 was just a land-dwelling, everything animals went on the 284 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,300 ark. Now we have a classification 285 00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:25,000 system. Kingdom phylum, class order, 286 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,400 family, genus species. And we would say this, our 287 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,500 research has shown and I'll show you how we came. 288 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,700 To this, that the kind in the Bible is more at the family 289 00:14:34,700 --> 00:14:38,000 level of classification, not genus and species, mainly 290 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,500 family. If you take dogs there there's a 291 00:14:42,500 --> 00:14:46,400 lot of different species of dogs and you can show that all those 292 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,000 different species are interconnected genetically. 293 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,500 In other words, this species bread, with this one, this one 294 00:14:51,500 --> 00:14:53,600 with this one, this one with that one that one with this one 295 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,700 that one never bread with that one but they're connected. 296 00:14:55,700 --> 00:14:58,500 And if you can breed them like that and they're all connected, 297 00:14:58,500 --> 00:14:59,900 it means they're all the one kind. 298 00:14:59,900 --> 00:15:05,900 So I would say that old dogs are the one kind and they're all the 299 00:15:05,900 --> 00:15:09,100 one kind at the family level of classification. 300 00:15:09,500 --> 00:15:13,700 So when God made the animals and we made humans he made the dog 301 00:15:13,700 --> 00:15:14,700 kind. He made the cat. 302 00:15:14,700 --> 00:15:18,200 Kind, he made the human kind right now. 303 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,000 We're not animals. We're different, we made in the 304 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:26,200 image of God and so when he made those kinds, he made them from 305 00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:30,500 that DNA that molecule per entity, but it's filled with 306 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,600 With all sorts of information so much information, we call it 307 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,600 genetic diversity. That allows great variation 308 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,900 within a kind, if you look at the world today, 8 billion 309 00:15:39,900 --> 00:15:40,900 people. And we all look a little 310 00:15:40,900 --> 00:15:43,200 different to each other, but we're all human beings and we 311 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,100 all actually go back to Adam and Eve. 312 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,000 So all dogs, even though they look a little different from 313 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,500 each other, that reflects all that genetic diversity that God 314 00:15:51,500 --> 00:15:54,900 built into their DNA in the first place. 315 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,100 Now, two of each kind, seven, pairs of some when I'm bored 316 00:15:59,100 --> 00:16:01,700 Noah's Ark. So, There'll be two dogs that 317 00:16:01,700 --> 00:16:04,800 went on the ark. They come off the ark, two of 318 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,300 the dog kind. And then what happens? 319 00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:09,400 They get married have kids. I get married, have kids, I get 320 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,400 married had kids until you end up with, you know, your 321 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,300 homeschool family of dogs that we have there. 322 00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:20,500 Now, we look at that and we say, okay, how'd you get you 323 00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:22,800 different species? Well, what happens is and 324 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,000 particularly, After the flood, there's a diversity of 325 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,800 environments because the flood caused climate change, massive 326 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,900 climate change actually. And so did the Ice Age generated 327 00:16:31,900 --> 00:16:33,900 by the flood. You got to understand the events 328 00:16:33,900 --> 00:16:36,000 of history and the Bible. Do you even understand what's 329 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,200 happening in the world today? And so, as those animals moved 330 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,900 away from each other, those had that as they were breeding in 331 00:16:43,900 --> 00:16:46,500 groups, moving away from each other, those that had 332 00:16:46,500 --> 00:16:49,600 combinations of genes for longer hair, survive better in a colder 333 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,900 climate, those have combinations for shorter hair survive, 334 00:16:52,900 --> 00:16:55,900 better, and hotter climate. You get the idea and so 335 00:16:55,900 --> 00:16:58,800 depending on which bread with us, which died out how isolated 336 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,900 there were over time. You end up producing different 337 00:17:01,900 --> 00:17:04,800 species of dogs. And so we look at all those PCS 338 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,200 today. And here's what we need to 339 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,500 understand, they weren't on the ark. 340 00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:10,300 They didn't exist Before the Flood. 341 00:17:10,900 --> 00:17:14,900 There are descendants of the two that went on the ark and it's 342 00:17:14,900 --> 00:17:18,099 just a sorting out of the information that's already 343 00:17:18,099 --> 00:17:20,500 there. See evolutionist you think about 344 00:17:20,500 --> 00:17:23,500 it? They tell us that life evolved. 345 00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:25,900 Well, how did they--how did you get all this information? 346 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,600 Well, it had to be new information form from matter 347 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,300 over and over again. Millions Aliens trillion 348 00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:33,100 zillions of times. We've never seen matter. 349 00:17:33,100 --> 00:17:38,000 Produced one bit of information. This fits exactly with what 350 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,300 you'd expect based on the Bible God made distinct kinds. 351 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,700 Great genetic diversity within a kind whom they belong A 352 00:17:44,700 --> 00:17:47,500 variation. And after the flood is a move 353 00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:51,200 away from each other, you can get those different species 354 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,500 forming and then you realize God didn't need the number of 355 00:17:54,508 --> 00:17:56,400 animals on the ark. We think he didn't eat all the 356 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,800 species of cats. Just two of the cat kind. 357 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,400 He didn't need all the species of Two of the dog kind and so it 358 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,600 goes on, remember the humankind, all of us, we only go back to to 359 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,500 Adam and Eve and if we get time will quickly look at that as 360 00:18:12,500 --> 00:18:16,100 well, but this science confirm the account of the flood. 361 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,600 Well, the Bible says, there was a global flood water, covering 362 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,700 the highest hills out of the hole of of heaven. 363 00:18:22,700 --> 00:18:27,200 And it was about 4,300 years ago, according to the Bible, If 364 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,800 there really was a global flood, you'd expect to find billions of 365 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,600 dead things buried. Read in rock, layers laid down 366 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,600 by water. All over the Earth, by the way. 367 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,900 Do you know what you find? Billions of dead things buried 368 00:18:35,900 --> 00:18:38,300 in rock, layers, laid, down by water, all over the Earth. 369 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,400 And as you look at the fossil record, here's what you notice. 370 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,900 The fossils are beautifully preserved and they had to be 371 00:18:47,900 --> 00:18:50,500 buried quickly. See, fossilization is a 372 00:18:50,508 --> 00:18:53,500 catastrophic process when an animal dies at normally. 373 00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:55,500 Decays is not much left after a while. 374 00:18:55,900 --> 00:18:59,100 How do you form an ichthyosaur fossil in the middle of giving 375 00:18:59,100 --> 00:19:02,900 birth that had to be rather quick or a very long labor or 376 00:19:02,900 --> 00:19:05,300 something? No rather La rather quick. 377 00:19:05,300 --> 00:19:08,600 It had to be covered very, very quickly or fish like this. 378 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,600 This is from our Creation Museum. 379 00:19:10,700 --> 00:19:15,300 When you visit notice, I didn't say if When you will see this 380 00:19:15,300 --> 00:19:18,500 fossil a it's a fish swallowing another fish and he's having his 381 00:19:18,500 --> 00:19:21,900 breakfast and suddenly look what happened to it. 382 00:19:22,300 --> 00:19:25,100 You know when you go to the Grand Canyon and millions of 383 00:19:25,100 --> 00:19:27,200 people each year, go to the Grand Canyon, you read the 384 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,100 signs. It says are over millions of 385 00:19:29,100 --> 00:19:31,400 years. All these layers were laid down 386 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,600 and over millions of years and the Canyon was formed by the 387 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,500 Colorado River eroding at all. And so you'll hear the secular 388 00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:42,700 scientists saying a long time and a little bit of water. 389 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,200 I'm the Grand Canyon. Well, I've got a different view, 390 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,000 a lot of water, and a little bit of time form the Grand Canyon. 391 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,200 What's interesting is, is when Mount Saint Helens erupted on 392 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,000 May 18th 1980. Many people don't realize this, 393 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,700 but as a result of that, eruption hundreds of feet of 394 00:19:59,700 --> 00:20:02,400 sedimentary layers, will lay down layer upon layer upon 395 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,400 layer. That particular layer, in the 396 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,900 middle consists of thousands of individual layers and is 20 feet 397 00:20:08,900 --> 00:20:12,200 thick, but it was laid down in a matter of just a few hours. 398 00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:14,300 He didn't take me. Lindsay is it called Power 399 00:20:14,300 --> 00:20:17,600 clastic Flows. In other words, a lot of those 400 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,400 layers, it's like you know, when you have a blizzard and you can 401 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,600 see all the layers of snow and you get out there, you dig down 402 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,000 through it. Now, normally people would 403 00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:30,000 interpret that, you know, when you're digging down through ice 404 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000 and getting ice cores and looking all the layers or 405 00:20:32,008 --> 00:20:34,200 mustard, take a millions of years, those sort of things can 406 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,900 happen, very, very quickly, not only that. 407 00:20:36,900 --> 00:20:42,200 But the tool North Fork of the toutle river actually flows 408 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,400 through a canyon And they're now that's all covered in vegetation 409 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,600 again today, that's called Engineers Canyon. 410 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,300 But when it, when it was first formed a Basalt layer in one day 411 00:20:51,300 --> 00:20:54,800 form that Canyon but if you went there today and stood on the 412 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,700 edge of that cliff and looked down at the river down the 413 00:20:57,700 --> 00:21:00,200 bottom there and now with all the vegetation there as well. 414 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,000 You can say how long did the river take to erode the canyon. 415 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,400 Well it wasn't a rotor by a river. 416 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,700 It was a mud flow that eroded the canyon to allow the river to 417 00:21:07,700 --> 00:21:09,700 go through. We would say the same thing 418 00:21:09,700 --> 00:21:12,900 happened at the Grand Canyon for instance, when you look behind 419 00:21:12,900 --> 00:21:16,600 the Can you see evidence? They were once massive lakes and 420 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,800 there are dried up now. We see the evidence of those 421 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,500 Lakes. See the Bible seems to indicate 422 00:21:21,500 --> 00:21:24,700 in Psalm 104 how guide end of the flood raised up the 423 00:21:24,700 --> 00:21:27,000 mountains lower the ocean basins. 424 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,500 See people say there's not enough water to cover the Earth 425 00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:32,700 for the flood. Actually if you smooth out the 426 00:21:32,700 --> 00:21:35,800 Earth totally there's enough water right now. 427 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,500 On the surface of the Earth to cover to a depth of two miles, 428 00:21:38,900 --> 00:21:41,100 we would say, the mountains, weren't as high in the oceans, 429 00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:42,700 weren't as deep Before the Flood. 430 00:21:43,100 --> 00:21:46,100 But what happened at the end of the flood, God raised up the 431 00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:49,700 mountains, lowered the ocean basins, the water pours off into 432 00:21:49,700 --> 00:21:54,000 the oceans where it is today and as it did left all sorts of 433 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:59,300 erosional features and left over water like these lakes here. 434 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,300 Now then we would say this because the sediment were still 435 00:22:03,300 --> 00:22:09,700 soft and because of fracturing. And so on what happened was that 436 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,000 that the water then broke through the damn it. 437 00:22:13,100 --> 00:22:16,200 Like there's a dam there and carved out the Grand Canyon 438 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,400 catastrophically. What is interesting when you go 439 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,200 Downstream from the grand, Canyon's you see, what are 440 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,200 called surge deposits. Showing you where all that 441 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,300 sediment was deposited. So it wasn't eroded slowly over 442 00:22:28,300 --> 00:22:30,300 millions of years. And, you know, there's many 443 00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:33,500 other evidences are at the Grand Canyon those those Rock layers 444 00:22:33,500 --> 00:22:36,300 as they were lifted up. They actually were bent. 445 00:22:36,300 --> 00:22:39,300 They were bent when they were soft and all the evidence points 446 00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:41,500 to that, they couldn't have been solidified over millions of 447 00:22:41,508 --> 00:22:42,900 years. They would have broken and 448 00:22:43,100 --> 00:22:46,200 Fractured and so on. And so it all fits with what the 449 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,100 Bible says about the global photos Noah's day. 450 00:22:49,100 --> 00:22:51,600 Really was an event that really occurred. 451 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,900 That's why you find fossils all over the Earth and thousands of 452 00:22:54,900 --> 00:22:58,200 feet of sedimentary strata. But of course, a lot of people 453 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,900 believe in millions of years, can can Christians believe in 454 00:23:00,900 --> 00:23:02,900 millions of years. There's a lot of Christians that 455 00:23:02,900 --> 00:23:05,900 believe in millions of years. And I'm not saying they're not a 456 00:23:05,900 --> 00:23:08,700 Christian because of that, but I would say You're really 457 00:23:08,700 --> 00:23:12,900 believing something that man has devised and you're trying to fit 458 00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:16,600 in The Bible you see back in the 1800's, they were atheists. 459 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,100 It said, we want to explain the fossil record without God and 460 00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:23,100 they said, the fossil record had to be laid down slowly over 461 00:23:23,100 --> 00:23:27,100 millions of years, supposedly reflecting Evolution millions of 462 00:23:27,108 --> 00:23:29,400 years before man. And you know what? 463 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,400 We find in the fossil record, we find bones with evidence from 464 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,600 cancer and other diseases. It's a record of death. 465 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,900 You know what the Bible says death came because of our sin. 466 00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:42,700 The Bible tells us that the first man Adam. 467 00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:45,200 And against God. And that's where sin came from. 468 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,900 That's why we die. Everyone is going to die. 469 00:23:48,300 --> 00:23:51,500 There's a, there's a great positive message for you for for 470 00:23:51,500 --> 00:23:53,600 today, and that is, you're going to die. 471 00:23:54,300 --> 00:23:56,300 But you know what? The Bible says, it is appointed 472 00:23:56,300 --> 00:24:00,000 unto man once to die because of our sin, but then the Judgment 473 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,000 but you know, when man sinned, God also said that he had a plan 474 00:24:04,300 --> 00:24:09,000 to save us from our sin and even in Genesis, he tells us about a 475 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,500 prophecy of one to come, who is going to die for our sin to be 476 00:24:12,500 --> 00:24:14,700 raised from the Did the Lord Jesus Christ. 477 00:24:15,100 --> 00:24:17,700 But if you believe in evolution and millions of years, you have 478 00:24:17,700 --> 00:24:20,800 a problem because that means you got all this death before sin. 479 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,400 So it's not our sin that caused the death. 480 00:24:23,700 --> 00:24:27,900 It means you blaming god for death, not only that diseases 481 00:24:27,900 --> 00:24:29,800 like cancer in the fossil record. 482 00:24:29,900 --> 00:24:32,300 After God made man. He said everything you made was 483 00:24:32,300 --> 00:24:34,400 very good. Does God called diseases very 484 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:35,500 good. Does God. 485 00:24:35,500 --> 00:24:38,300 Call death very good. No the Bible actually says, 486 00:24:38,300 --> 00:24:41,400 death is an enemy, it's an intrusion and one day it's going 487 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,700 to be thrown into the lake of Of fire. 488 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,800 And so, if we believe God's word, then we can't have all 489 00:24:48,900 --> 00:24:52,800 that death before sin, and makes sense that all the fossils had 490 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,700 to come after me and sinned. Oh, the event of the global 491 00:24:56,700 --> 00:24:59,900 flood of Noah's day, that makes sense of the fossils. 492 00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:04,300 But then I have people say to me, well, so you don't believe 493 00:25:04,300 --> 00:25:06,400 in millions of years. No, I believe the universe is 494 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,900 only a few thousand years old. Well, can science confirm that, 495 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,600 well actually, it can see Assigned to say the Earth is 15 496 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,500 billion years old. And the universe of the earth is 497 00:25:17,500 --> 00:25:20,100 5 billion years old. The universe is 15 billion years 498 00:25:20,100 --> 00:25:22,000 old creation. Scientists. 499 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,200 We say the universe and Earth are about 6,000 years old. 500 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,000 See the Bible records. That God made everything in six 501 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,200 days and it's interesting that the Hebrew word for day, the 502 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,000 word yawm has different meanings, but when is qualified 503 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,300 by evening, morning, number or night, it means an ordinary day. 504 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:42,300 And in Genesis 1, the word day is qualified that way for each 505 00:25:42,300 --> 00:25:44,500 of the day. Days of creation, which means 506 00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:46,700 they're ordinary days. In fact, think about where our 507 00:25:46,700 --> 00:25:49,600 seven-day week comes from. Why do we have a seven day week, 508 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,900 Exodus 20, verse 11, tells us the basis of the fourth 509 00:25:52,900 --> 00:25:55,500 Commandment actually. In six days God made everything 510 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,400 and rested on the seventh day. That's why we have a seven-day 511 00:25:59,900 --> 00:26:03,200 week if God made everything in six days. 512 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,400 And on day six, he made the first man Adam. 513 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,000 And you know in the Bible it tells us that Adam had a sunset 514 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,400 at 130 years old, and then South had a son in eyeshadow. 15 and 515 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:20,100 then Enos father Keenan at 90 and then he had a son at 70 and 516 00:26:20,100 --> 00:26:23,600 it goes through and gives you all these ages Jared fathered, 517 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,200 Enoch 162 and you come down to Methuselah who fathered lehmer 518 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:32,300 code 187, who fathered Noah at 182 that we get to ham Shem and 519 00:26:32,300 --> 00:26:37,000 japheth when Noah was 500, we get to Abraham, we get to the 520 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,100 Babe in a Manger. Jesus Christ coming up to the 521 00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:42,900 present. All those dates, add up to 0. 522 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,700 Eighty-six thousand years. And so that's why we believe in 523 00:26:47,700 --> 00:26:50,400 only thousands of years and there's nothing in observational 524 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,100 science that contradicts that because a lot of people point to 525 00:26:53,108 --> 00:26:55,200 the dating methods that are used. 526 00:26:55,300 --> 00:26:58,000 You know, the geological dating methods radiometric, dating 527 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,200 methods, not the dating methods with young people use, you know, 528 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,200 I'm talking about these sorts of dating methods but to help 529 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,300 everyone understand every dating method involves a process that 530 00:27:09,300 --> 00:27:12,900 changes with time and you have to know what was there. 531 00:27:13,100 --> 00:27:18,000 Beginning and understand all those changes and problem is all 532 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,500 those assumptions can be shown to be invalid. 533 00:27:20,700 --> 00:27:25,500 Give me an example in Australia, there was a Basalt layer and 534 00:27:25,500 --> 00:27:27,800 scientists discovered this Basalt layer actually mining 535 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,600 Engineers. So it was like a lava flow and 536 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,600 they found trees embedded in the lava flow. 537 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,000 So the lava flow flowed over the forest. 538 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:42,600 And when they dated the basalt using radiometric dating method 539 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,200 data, 45 million years old, but the wood through carbon dating 540 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,900 data. To 45,000 years old, 45 thousand 541 00:27:48,900 --> 00:27:50,700 Euro would in 45 million year old. 542 00:27:50,700 --> 00:27:53,600 Basalt doesn't make any sense, because there's all sorts of 543 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,200 problems. We don't have time to talk about 544 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,100 them. There's all sorts of 545 00:27:56,100 --> 00:27:58,900 assumptions. There's only one dating method 546 00:27:58,900 --> 00:28:01,400 that can be trusted. It's God's daily method is 547 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,400 survival because he was there, he knows everything and we've 548 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,600 got that recorded history in his word. 549 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,600 Even when you look at Mount Saint Helens, we mentioned that 550 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,800 before where mounts on Was rough to do nine and nineteen eighty, 551 00:28:16,100 --> 00:28:22,500 then in 1994, the lava Dome was sampled because what happened? 552 00:28:22,500 --> 00:28:26,100 After the volcanic eruption, a lava Dome started to form in the 553 00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:30,800 80s to seal up that volcanic core there and so there was a 554 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,200 scientist Who sampled the lava Dome. 555 00:28:33,300 --> 00:28:36,900 Now we know it was formed in 1980 so we know that that rock 556 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,100 was formed in 1980 and they actually use potassium-argon 557 00:28:41,100 --> 00:28:45,900 dating by grinding up the Whole Rock and on other minerals and 558 00:28:45,900 --> 00:28:48,600 using those dating methods and look what they got point. 35 559 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,300 million years point nine million years, 2.8 million years but 560 00:28:52,300 --> 00:28:56,300 wait a minute, we not formed in 1980 and we know that those 561 00:28:56,300 --> 00:29:00,500 daily methods have problem because potassium argon is a 562 00:29:00,500 --> 00:29:04,800 radiometric dating method. And what happened was Argon came 563 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,400 up in the magma already. They're making it look old when 564 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,900 it wasn't. And that just shows you the 565 00:29:10,900 --> 00:29:13,900 problems we have with a lot. Of these dating methods. 566 00:29:13,900 --> 00:29:17,500 Of course, I could go through a lot of other examples like that 567 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,000 as well, but let's answer one more question here. 568 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,600 Just science, confirm one human race. 569 00:29:24,100 --> 00:29:26,900 See if the Bible's history is true and we have the six 570 00:29:26,900 --> 00:29:30,600 thousand years of History. Then God made the first two 571 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:35,400 people, Adam and Eve on day, six of those creation days and it 572 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,900 says in Genesis 5 verse 4 they had Sons and Daughters, right? 573 00:29:38,900 --> 00:29:42,700 They didn't ingest have three sons sons and daughters and then 574 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,100 By the time of the flood, they could have been millions of 575 00:29:45,100 --> 00:29:50,600 people but only eight, trusted God, Noah and his family God 576 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,400 said the world was so wicked that he judged with his going to 577 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,900 judge with a global flood. And for Noah to build a great 578 00:29:56,900 --> 00:30:01,500 big ship and only eight people went on that ship and the kinds 579 00:30:01,500 --> 00:30:04,100 of the land animals went on board and we already talked 580 00:30:04,100 --> 00:30:08,600 about that earlier then they came off the ship and as people 581 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,700 increased in number, they rebelled against God again about 582 00:30:11,700 --> 00:30:16,600 150 years later. And God gave different languages 583 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,300 to force them to split up and move away from each other. 584 00:30:19,300 --> 00:30:22,700 Forming different people groups not races. 585 00:30:23,100 --> 00:30:25,500 Do you realize if the Bible's history is true, here there's 586 00:30:25,500 --> 00:30:29,100 only one human race. There are many different races 587 00:30:29,100 --> 00:30:31,100 and we shouldn't be talking about races. 588 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,300 What's interesting is in the year 2000, the human genome 589 00:30:35,300 --> 00:30:38,900 Genome Project where it was headed by an atheist octave 590 00:30:38,900 --> 00:30:42,800 enter, where they went around the world and obtain DNA from 591 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,800 All these different people, groups to sequence, the human 592 00:30:46,300 --> 00:30:50,900 genome, the human DNA, and they release their findings to the 593 00:30:50,900 --> 00:30:52,700 world in the year. 2000. You're not. 594 00:30:52,700 --> 00:30:55,900 They said they put together. This is from The New York Times, 595 00:30:56,500 --> 00:31:00,300 graft of the entire sequence of the human genome and unanimously 596 00:31:00,300 --> 00:31:02,800 declared. There is only one race the human 597 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,400 race. Wow, who would have ever thought 598 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,000 of that? But there's science confirming 599 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,700 exactly what you'd expect based on the Bible. 600 00:31:09,700 --> 00:31:14,600 There's only one human race. See when Noah and his family 601 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,400 came off the arc. During the eight people that 602 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,000 came off the Earth and Noah's, three sons and three wives, and 603 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,600 knowing his wife and says in Genesis 9, the sons of Noah who 604 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,700 went forth from the ark Shem ham and japheth these three were the 605 00:31:27,700 --> 00:31:30,800 sons of known from these that people on the whole earth were 606 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,900 dispersed. So the Bible tells us that we 607 00:31:33,900 --> 00:31:37,300 all go back to the three sons of Noah, there was the event of the 608 00:31:37,300 --> 00:31:40,600 Tower of Babel causing people to split up and move away from each 609 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:45,200 other going to different places. And resulting in different 610 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,800 ethnic groups and and depending on who married who died out 611 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,400 depending on what combinations of genes survived in particular 612 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,100 groups. You end up with certain 613 00:31:54,100 --> 00:31:58,200 characteristics, dominating the different groups and so we have 614 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,200 different people groups but not different races were all one 615 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,800 family, we're all One race. You know why that's important to 616 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,000 understand? Because God Son stepped into 617 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:11,500 history, to be a member of the one human race to die for the 618 00:32:11,500 --> 00:32:13,800 descendants of Adam because All One race. 619 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,900 We're all one family, and he died on a cross because death 620 00:32:16,900 --> 00:32:20,400 was a penalty for sin. He was perfect. 621 00:32:20,500 --> 00:32:22,400 We're all descendants of Adam and we're not. 622 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,600 We're Sinners. So a sinner can't pay for sin. 623 00:32:24,900 --> 00:32:28,200 Death was a penalty for sin, but he died on a cross was raised 624 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,400 from the dead. So all those who put their faith 625 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,700 and trust in him will spend eternity with him and I don't 626 00:32:34,700 --> 00:32:40,100 have time to go into this in detail, but the Bible History is 627 00:32:40,100 --> 00:32:42,300 true. And so then people have trouble 628 00:32:42,300 --> 00:32:45,100 explaining Well, how do you, how do you get black people, and how 629 00:32:45,100 --> 00:32:47,500 do you get white people? That's a whole nother area to 630 00:32:47,500 --> 00:32:49,800 talk about, but actually, there are no black people in. 631 00:32:49,808 --> 00:32:52,600 There are no white people and I can prove it to you because 632 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,000 people think I'm a white person, but hey, in less than a second 633 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,200 there. I proved, I'm not a white 634 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,500 person, right? We actually all have the same 635 00:33:00,500 --> 00:33:03,300 pigment called melanin. It's a brown pigment. 636 00:33:03,300 --> 00:33:06,900 We're all actually Brown, and it's just a matter of your 637 00:33:06,900 --> 00:33:10,600 genetics as to how much Brown you have a little bit or a lot. 638 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,100 And as people were sorted out up the terror, Abel some ended up 639 00:33:14,100 --> 00:33:16,200 with a lot of mountain and some not so much. 640 00:33:16,700 --> 00:33:20,200 And so it's easy to understand, hey, you know, what's exciting? 641 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,300 Whether it's biology, anthropology, geology, 642 00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:26,700 biochemistry over and over again, it confirms God's word 643 00:33:26,700 --> 00:33:30,100 because God's word is true, the history. 644 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:34,800 And the Bible is true. And why does it matter? 645 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,800 Because what you believe about where you came from, affects 646 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:43,600 your whole world view, do you realize because Genesis is True. 647 00:33:43,900 --> 00:33:48,300 We know what we believe and why is Christian's the doctrine of 648 00:33:48,300 --> 00:33:52,300 marriage is based in Genesis not just marriage but every single 649 00:33:52,500 --> 00:33:55,000 biblical Doctrine and theology directly or indirectly is 650 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,200 founded in Genesis 12, 11 Genesis is the foundational book 651 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,600 of the entire Bible and you see here's the problem in our world. 652 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,800 When you start from God's word, we know there's one race for 653 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,800 man's word, different races. Supposedly evolved God's word. 654 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,400 Marriage is a man and woman. Man's word, you define Anyway, 655 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,400 you want God's word to genders male and female man's word. 656 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,100 Well, do whatever you want. Defined it the way you want, 657 00:34:20,199 --> 00:34:23,600 man. God's word abortion, where made 658 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,400 in the image of God, right?

And it is true. 697 00:36:24,500 --> 00:36:27,500 And that's the most important message of all that I trust that 698 00:36:27,500 --> 00:36:30,700 everyone here has responded to to know where you're going to 699 00:36:30,700 --> 00:36:34,400 spend eternity. And so now we're going to move 700 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:45,000 to a decision time. Everybody still good. 701 00:36:46,100 --> 00:36:50,300 Take a deep breath, I love it. I mean there's just so much just 702 00:36:50,300 --> 00:36:53,700 good teaching in there for some of you that might be the first 703 00:36:53,700 --> 00:36:55,600 time. You kind of heard that just and 704 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,900 detail. And I know just him like 705 00:36:58,300 --> 00:37:01,200 Wednesday night he was here and he went a little bit on greater 706 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,700 lengths and spend a lot more time, divulging some of those 707 00:37:03,700 --> 00:37:06,700 things. And that was like, he couldn't, 708 00:37:06,700 --> 00:37:09,100 he couldn't stop talking. Like he just had to keep going 709 00:37:09,100 --> 00:37:10,600 because he has so much good stuff to say. 710 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,800 But what we're about to come into in this time of decision is 711 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:18,800 what I love every single week. We opportunity to just consider 712 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,600 the things that we just heard and start figuring out and 713 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,000 reflecting on what areas in our life. 714 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,500 Do we need to adjust what areas in our life. 715 00:37:27,500 --> 00:37:29,800 Do we need to surrender over to the Lord? 716 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,700 That's what this time is all about. 717 00:37:31,700 --> 00:37:35,000 And so, for those of you in this room or maybe you're watching 718 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,000 online right now, you don't have a relationship with Jesus. 719 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,600 You don't have one that's intimate. 720 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,200 You don't have one that's personal. 721 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,300 We're not talking about religion, we're talking about a 722 00:37:43,300 --> 00:37:46,600 relationship. Maybe there was something today 723 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,700 that you heard and Ken's message, that may just really 724 00:37:49,700 --> 00:37:54,100 helped confirm your faith or maybe it brought some clarity to 725 00:37:54,100 --> 00:37:57,200 your faith today. Maybe when you walked in this 726 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,300 room or when you came into this message online, you started 727 00:38:00,300 --> 00:38:03,000 wondering like, hey and is the Bible true. 728 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,600 Is it reliable? Can I can I count on it and 729 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,900 today you heard the claims and what God's word says about 730 00:38:11,900 --> 00:38:13,600 itself? But also with what Ken was 731 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,200 talking about that your foundation, our foundation, my 732 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:21,600 Foundation should be built on his word, which never fails, 733 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,600 which hasn't been proven false like it's everything science. 734 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,000 Cannot prove it to be false. Like it's true. 735 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,900 It's the foundation it goes against what, what man's word 736 00:38:32,900 --> 00:38:35,300 says. And what Culture even says. 737 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,800 And so here's what the truth is, is that every single one of you 738 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:44,200 listening to my voice right now, you were made in the image of 739 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,900 God. Every single one of you. 740 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,600 And if we know if God's word is true, not only are we made in 741 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:56,800 the image of God, God's desire is that he has relationship with 742 00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:00,800 each and every single one of us. But we know because of Adam and 743 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,000 Eve, and because of the sin that came into this world, we are so, 744 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:09,100 we were separating that moment. But Jesus made a way God sent 745 00:39:09,100 --> 00:39:12,400 Jesus, his son to come in our likeness down to this earth, and 746 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,200 he lived a perfect life, and it led him to a cross even though 747 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,400 he didn't Deserve it. He paid the penalty of your sin 748 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,000 and my sin when he went on the cross. 749 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,700 And he was crucified and three days later after he's put in a 750 00:39:24,700 --> 00:39:27,000 borrowed tomb, he rose from the dead, which is what we 751 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,500 celebrated last Easter, which we celebrate every single day, and 752 00:39:30,500 --> 00:39:34,800 every single week here at this church, he did that to rescue 753 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,400 you. He did that to redeem you to 754 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,300 bring yourself into relationship with him. 755 00:39:40,300 --> 00:39:44,400 And so, if you are in that position today, in this moment 756 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,900 right now, were you You want to start that relationship one? 757 00:39:47,900 --> 00:39:49,800 That is intimate, one, that is personal. 758 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,000 You can do it in a moment. That's what I love about God. 759 00:39:53,500 --> 00:39:56,500 We, you know, think we might have to get all this stuff 760 00:39:56,500 --> 00:39:58,300 together. We have to get it all figured 761 00:39:58,300 --> 00:40:01,800 out and what he says is knowing you believed in me when you 762 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,600 believe in Jesus when you know that he's the way and the truth 763 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,800 and the life, you can enter in that relationship right now in 764 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,700 this moment. And really if you look down your 765 00:40:11,700 --> 00:40:14,700 Isles, around your rows of people behind you in front of 766 00:40:14,700 --> 00:40:18,000 you, wherever it may be There are so many stories represented 767 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,200 right here at this Campus of people who have met Jesus their 768 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,500 lord and savior their life and it's completely changed their 769 00:40:25,500 --> 00:40:27,400 life. And they're not going to be 770 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:32,400 people who say hey I have it all figured out, I'm all put 771 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,100 together because listen I'm not all put together. 772 00:40:35,100 --> 00:40:38,000 I'm not I don't have it all figured out but here's what we 773 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,900 all share, those of us who have relationship with Jesus. 774 00:40:40,900 --> 00:40:44,600 We would say we know the one who holds it all together. 775 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,100 The one who Created us in His image, the one who rescued and 776 00:40:48,100 --> 00:40:50,200 redeemed us. And so for those of you in this 777 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,400 room, if you want to step in that relationship, you can do it 778 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,000 in a moment. There's gonna be somebody right 779 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,000 by the baptistry, that would help you take that step of faith 780 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,400 today, whether it's just exploring what it looks like the 781 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,900 start relationship with Jesus or whether it's like man, I'm 782 00:41:03,900 --> 00:41:05,500 diving in. I'm going to get in the 783 00:41:05,500 --> 00:41:08,800 baptistry today and I'm going to identify with Jesus, death, 784 00:41:08,900 --> 00:41:10,800 burial and Resurrection. I'm going to come out of the 785 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,200 water and I'm going to be made new because that is what God 786 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,700 does through. And I'm encouraging you, if you 787 00:41:17,700 --> 00:41:20,800 don't have that relationship, that's the very best thing you 788 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:25,300 can do today and for the rest of us in this room for all of us 789 00:41:25,300 --> 00:41:28,900 who have claimed that truth, who are walking in relationship with 790 00:41:28,900 --> 00:41:30,600 Jesus. For those of you who are 791 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,700 following him, I know that maybe this message for you is maybe 792 00:41:34,700 --> 00:41:37,300 just more confirming for you is encouraging. 793 00:41:37,900 --> 00:41:41,200 Maybe right now you have an opportunity to decide to though. 794 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,500 Because as Christians we have this decision time for us as 795 00:41:44,500 --> 00:41:47,300 well because when In God's word is preached. 796 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,300 We have to respond to it. There's not a let's just read it 797 00:41:51,300 --> 00:41:53,200 and then let's just walk out and we got it. 798 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,200 No, James is very clear. When we look at God's word, we 799 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,100 listen to God's word. We should be changed. 800 00:41:59,100 --> 00:42:03,500 We should be doers of God's word and so for you you might be 801 00:42:03,500 --> 00:42:06,200 having your own conversation with God right now and I'm just 802 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,300 getting in the way and just a little bit. 803 00:42:08,300 --> 00:42:10,900 Maybe you just want to continue that conversation with him on 804 00:42:10,900 --> 00:42:14,100 the steps, getting on your knees and letting him just continue to 805 00:42:14,300 --> 00:42:17,100 talk to you and press on your Convict you and change you 806 00:42:17,100 --> 00:42:18,900 because he's doing that work right now. 807 00:42:18,900 --> 00:42:23,100 You can have that conversation with him but I also know there's 808 00:42:23,100 --> 00:42:26,300 people in this room you heard today's message in one of the 809 00:42:26,308 --> 00:42:30,800 things that might be hitting you is there's people in your life. 810 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,100 You have conflict with people in your life, you having troubles 811 00:42:34,100 --> 00:42:38,300 with and you just need a simple reminder that they also were 812 00:42:38,300 --> 00:42:42,100 made in the image of God and that God desires to be in 813 00:42:42,100 --> 00:42:45,200 relationship with them. And so as Christians, one of the 814 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,700 coolest of things but also I get it. 815 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:51,500 I'm not going to discount it. One of the hardest things is to 816 00:42:51,500 --> 00:42:55,700 come up here and pray for them by name that they would 817 00:42:55,700 --> 00:42:58,000 encounter Jesus. That they would have a radical 818 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,500 change in their life because of what God's word says and they 819 00:43:01,500 --> 00:43:05,800 would start following him. And so in this moment I'm asking 820 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,600 as Christians would you be bold enough to pray for that person 821 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:12,900 or that group of people? But I know for me, here's where 822 00:43:12,900 --> 00:43:17,000 I was at. I was Watching this message. 823 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,300 And I just kept thinking, how can I be a better? 824 00:43:19,300 --> 00:43:22,500 Dad. How can I continue to lead? 825 00:43:22,500 --> 00:43:28,900 My kids to understand that God's word is the foundation that the 826 00:43:28,900 --> 00:43:31,700 world is going to speak to them pretty loudly. 827 00:43:31,700 --> 00:43:34,800 Cultures going to speak to them and attack them, pretty, pretty 828 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,900 fiercely. But how can I step in the gaps 829 00:43:37,900 --> 00:43:42,800 for them and let them know that my life is built on Christ and 830 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,400 his word and so I'm like I want to die. 831 00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,500 I just want to go to battle. I want to keep praying. 832 00:43:47,500 --> 00:43:51,400 God, would you help Empower me to be the dad for my kids to 833 00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,700 continue to pray for the generations that are coming 834 00:43:53,700 --> 00:43:56,800 behind us and the generations that are to come and maybe 835 00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:58,600 you're in the same boat? You have kids, you have 836 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,800 grandkids, you have nieces you have nephews, you have kids in 837 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:03,900 your life. But let's just go to battle for 838 00:44:03,900 --> 00:44:08,100 them and just pray for them and say, listen, we want God's word 839 00:44:08,100 --> 00:44:12,800 to be the foundation of their life, not man's word, not what 840 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,900 culture says. And so, In This Moment, It for 841 00:44:15,900 --> 00:44:18,900 us. Let us just be a decision time 842 00:44:19,100 --> 00:44:22,900 where we move because we all make decisions. 843 00:44:23,500 --> 00:44:26,000 Some of us decide. We could just stay here and we 844 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,800 could leave and go out the same people or we could step in the 845 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,300 gaps. We could draw closer to Jesus in 846 00:44:31,300 --> 00:44:35,300 this moment and we could ask him to lead us this week. 847 00:44:35,300 --> 00:44:36,700 What you guys do that in this moment? 848 00:44:36,700 --> 00:44:39,500 Would you stand with me?
