1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,960
OK, now this has got people 
outraged because what this 

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,360
little guy will do next is going
to cause big problems. 

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,600
For a certain group of people. 
If there was one creature in the

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,880
animal Kingdom that causes 
evolutionists to question their 

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,120
entire theory, it would be the 
Bombardier beetle. 

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,040
How can I make such a massive 
claim? 

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:24,200
Well, you will too when you see 
what's inside these beetles. 

8
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:26,480
Fix your. 
Eyes on this. 

9
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,960
The Bombardier Beetle contains a
masterpiece of engine 

10
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,800
engineering design. 
It has glands in its belly that 

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:37,200
produce two safe chemicals when 
kept apart, hydroquinone and 

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,720
hydrogen peroxide. 
But get this. 

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,760
The beetle then sends these 
chemicals into a sort of storage

14
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,840
tank where it keeps them for a 
rainy day. 

15
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,960
So let's see what happens when 
the Bombardier beetle spots 

16
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,600
trouble ahead. 
Once unhappy, the beetle, using 

17
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,640
a complex valve system, sends 
these two chemicals into another

18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,560
uniquely designed chamber. 
And from there the beetle 

19
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,400
secrets a special catalyst of 
enzymes which, when mixed with 

20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,120
the two chemicals, creates an 
overpowering spray, which is 

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,120
100°C. 
Right. 

22
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:14,520
So now we have this scalding hot
spray. 

23
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,560
It's ready. 
So the bomber Beer Beetle. 

24
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,000
He sizes up his he twists his 
lower body and then rotates the 

25
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,880
two nozzles at his tail end. 
And with precise accuracy, he 

26
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,560
erupts his insane combination at
anyone who dares to mess with 

27
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,520
him. 
And the craziest thing of all is

28
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,040
the Bombardier Beetle. 
Let's out not just one, not just

29
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:40,560
two booms, but. 500 booms. 
Per second to ensure that he is 

30
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,640
nobody's lunch today. 
So come on, let's ask the 

31
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,920
obvious question here. 
Why does this leave the 

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,680
evolutionist speechless? 
I'll tell you why. 

33
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,480
When you look at this incredibly
complex system and you know that

34
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,120
this is inside every single 
Bombardier beetle, you have to 

35
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,240
admit that this system must be 
carefully designed. 

36
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,240
Because any system involving 
combustion and the fusion of two

37
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,320
powerful chemicals must have a 
mind behind it. 

38
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,440
Why? 
Because anyone Who? 

39
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,880
Works with combustion. 
Knows that many things can go 

40
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:14,480
easily wrong. 
I mean, think about it. 

41
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,360
If evolution is step by step, 
gradual, unguided changes over 

42
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,320
millions of years, that means 
that at some points in the 

43
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,960
Bombardier beetles history, it 
had no chemical spray. 

44
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,800
So what happened the first time 
that it mixed these two 

45
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,560
chemicals when it didn't have 
any storage tank and it didn't 

46
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,040
have anywhere to hold it? 
How would it store this 100° 

47
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,760
mixture and how did it manage to
eject and release this spray if 

48
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,800
it hadn't yet evolved these two 
nozzles as its tail end? 

49
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,160
And then the other thing that's 
got me thinking is what about 

50
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,240
the storage chambers when they 
were evolving? 

51
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,360
How did the first storage 
chambers have the durability, 

52
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:54,280
the thickness not to melt whilst
holding this red hot fusion? 

53
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,960
Come on guys, you know as well 
as I do that if left a chance 

54
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,000
without all of these parts fully
made and fully functioning 

55
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,040
together, this beetle would 
burst into 1000 pieces the first

56
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,120
time it ever attempted to make 
its own rocket fuel. 

57
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,320
It is kind of obvious, isn't it,
that such a fragile combustion 

58
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,040
system must require an 
intelligent designer? 

59
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,000
Because if you remove any part 
of the system, it would be 

60
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,120
impossible for the Bombardier 
beetle to survive, as it would 

61
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,960
either destroy itself or it 
wouldn't have the tools to 

62
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,560
protect itself from any bigger 
animals and thus would not 

63
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,680
survive and would not pass on 
its genes. 

64
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,360
And we would not have Bombardier
beetles today. 

65
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,080
But I can hear exactly what 
you're saying right now. 

66
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,720
Big deal, Joe. 
So there's this one beetle which

67
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,360
throws A curveball into the 
theory of evolution. 

68
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,480
That does not prove that 
intelligent design happened by a

69
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,680
creator. 
Well, what if I told you that 

70
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,320
there are examples of what 
famously has been called 

71
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,440
irreducible complexity 
throughout the entire animal 

72
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,880
Kingdom? 
And I'm going to show show you 

73
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,800
some of these examples. 
But first let's hear from the 

74
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,800
man himself, Charles Darwin, the
author of evolution. 

75
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,720
He said if it could be 
demonstrated that any complex 

76
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,520
organ existed which could not 
possibly have been formed by 

77
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,720
numerous successive slight 
modifications. 

78
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,320
My. 
Theory would absolutely break 

79
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:14,960
down. 
I wonder what goes through your 

80
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,680
mind. 
If you hear that that in other 

81
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,880
words, the evolution daddy 
himself is saying that if there 

82
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,200
is one Organism which can be 
proved that it does not evolved 

83
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,800
by tiny slight modifications, 
then everything I've ever said 

84
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,640
is 1 big fat lie. 
Well, did you know that there's 

85
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,680
not just one Organism which is 
irreducibly complex, but there 

86
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,240
are many throughout the entire 
animal Kingdom. 

87
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,720
But come on, Joe, you keep using
this term irreducibly complex. 

88
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,480
What does it even mean? 
And just put it simply to me, 

89
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,320
please. 
OK, irreducible complexity is 

90
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,840
the argument that there is life,
there are systems which have 

91
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:52,120
multiple parts which interact 
together. 

92
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,840
And if you just one of these 
parts, the entire system would 

93
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:59,160
not function. 
This obviously debunks evolution

94
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,360
instantly, as according to the 
evolutionist, all life comes 

95
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,160
from a simple life form and by 
small modifications. 

96
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,480
More complex systems can be 
gradually built by natural 

97
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,120
selection. 
But when a system is irreducibly

98
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,840
complex, it needs every part to 
be fully developed for the 

99
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:18,880
system to work. 
Which of course points away from

100
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,240
an unguided process of millions 
of years, but points more 

101
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,920
towards towards the purposeful 
arrangements of all of the parts

102
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,280
by an intelligent creator God. 
If he's still a little confused,

103
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,720
don't worry. 
Because I. 

104
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,440
Want you to meet Michael Behe. 
He is the man who actually came 

105
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:40,360
up with this term irreducibly 
complex and he also has a very, 

106
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,840
very easy to understand 
illustration And once you see 

107
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:46,520
this, everything will become 
clearer. 

108
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,840
The same applies to this rather 
complex drill. 

109
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,400
It has some cool add-ons, but I 
could take off this battery 

110
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:58,480
gauge or this LED light or a few
other gadgets and I'd still have

111
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,520
a working drill. 
But how far can I reduce its 

112
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,640
complexity and not ruin it? 
I don't want to take apart my 

113
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,680
drill, so let me move to another
example, this mouse trap. 

114
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,320
The complexity of this machine 
entails 5 parts. 

115
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,440
The platform, the spring, the 
hammer, the holding bar and the 

116
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,560
catch. 
Now if I reduce the number of 

117
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:24,520
parts from 5:00 to 4:00, if I 
take away the holding bar or the

118
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,520
spring or any other part, it 
wouldn't work. 

119
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,880
Every part is essential. 
I call this irreducible 

120
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,560
complexity. 
Now this, as you can imagine, 

121
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,080
has received quite a bit of 
criticism, even surprisingly, 

122
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,240
from other theists. 
I'm wearing a tie clip that 

123
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,720
looks like it's composed of a 
mouse trap. 

124
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,400
Now, it's not very elegant, but 
it does keep my tie in place. 

125
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,480
But what you'll see when I take 
this out is that this is a mouse

126
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,760
trap from which I've removed two
of the parts. 

127
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,720
I've removed the catch and the 
base holder. 

128
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,360
You can't catch any mice with 
this, but these three parts of 

129
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,520
the five part mouse trap are 
perfectly functional in a 

130
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,080
different context, and one 
context would be holding my tie 

131
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,960
on. 
Another context would be serving

132
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,040
as a large paper clip. 
They might be able to criticize 

133
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,200
be he's mousetrap illustration, 
but very few have struggled to 

134
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,440
explain just how the phlegm 
motor evolved. 

135
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,240
I think the best, well the most 
visually striking example of 

136
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,520
design is something called the 
bacterial flagellum. 

137
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,840
Now this is a figure of a 
bacterial flagellum taken from a

138
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,360
textbook which is widely used in
colleges and universities around

139
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,400
the country. 
The bacterial flagellum is quite

140
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:38,760
literally an outboard motor that
bacteria use to swim, and in 

141
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,040
order to accomplish that 
function it has a number of 

142
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,880
parts which are ordered to that 
effect. 

143
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,640
Now this part here, which is 
labeled the filament, is 

144
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,680
actually the propeller of the 
bacterial flagellum. 

145
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,800
The motor is actually a Rotary 
motor. 

146
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,520
Most people who see this and 
have the function explained to 

147
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,680
them quickly realize that these 
parts are ordered for a purpose 

148
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,400
and therefore bespeak design. 
The idea is that there are 

149
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:07,600
certain aspects of life, perhaps
the organisms or organs or even 

150
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,960
cells, that in a sense could 
only have come about as a whole.

151
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,920
In other words, it was very 
unlikely they could have come 

152
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:21,800
about through just a kind of 
contingent combination of parts 

153
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,720
over even millions or billions 
of years, but rather in a sense 

154
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,560
had to be created whole cloth 
altogether at once, because 

155
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,480
everything fits together so well
that to remove one part the 

156
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,480
thing wouldn't function. 
Let's. 

157
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,520
Examine a much larger system, 
the giraffe. 

158
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:42,720
Giraffes are actually very 
strong evidence that animals did

159
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,360
not gradually evolve over 
millions of years. 

160
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,720
You already know that giraffes 
have 6 foot long necks, but did 

161
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,240
you know that every time a 
giraffe does this it could be 

162
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,240
potentially over for our long 
necked friends? 

163
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,760
If and the big if is they were 
not designed by an intelligent 

164
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:00,960
designer. 
The fact is. 

165
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,120
This each Giraffe. 
Has a 25 LB heart. 

166
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,720
Why is it so big? 
Well the giraffe's heart has a 

167
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,440
very trying job to do. 
It has to pump a huge amount of 

168
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,920
blood all the way up the neck 
towards the head whilst working 

169
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,880
against gravity. 
Here is the problem with step by

170
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,920
step evolutionary modifications.
Because if the giraffe's Mega 

171
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,240
Heart is constantly pumping 
large amounts of blood to the 

172
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,160
head, what happens when the 
giraffe? 

173
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,640
Bends its. 
It's neck right down to drink 

174
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,240
from a water hole suddenly all. 
Of that power. 

175
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,040
Would of course rush an insane 
amount of blood and pressure to 

176
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,880
the giraffe's brain, which would
cause the giraffe at best to 

177
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,280
pass out and at worst Well, it 
doesn't bear thinking about 

178
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,360
because fortunately the giraffe 
was intelligently designed to be

179
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,200
able to cope with this dilemma. 
Inside every giraffe is an 

180
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,840
irreducibly complex system. 
The giraffe's blood vessels are 

181
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,440
unique in that they have 
reinforced walls with bypass 

182
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,320
valves, and these valves are 
instructed exactly when to open 

183
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,800
and when to close by sensor 
signals, which tell the giraffe 

184
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,080
whether to restrict the blood 
flow to the brain or to release 

185
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,200
it. 
But here's. 

186
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,320
The real fingerprints. 
Of a creator on the giraffe. 

187
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,800
Supposing that these moderating 
blood vessels let a little bit 

188
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,760
too much blood through the 
bypass valves, what happens 

189
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,440
then? 
Well, I'm glad you asked, 

190
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,560
because inside of the giraffe's 
head is a genius sponge like 

191
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:30,120
design which absorbs too much 
blood and then releases the 

192
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,600
exact amount of the brain until 
the giraffe's blood pressure 

193
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,040
equalizes. 
Oh, and by the way, just a 

194
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,000
little throwaway comment here. 
Once the giraffe has refreshed 

195
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,560
its palate and lifts its head 
up, this complex system knows 

196
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:46,240
exactly how to work in reverse. 
So then you don't get problems. 

197
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,760
With too much. 
Blood then rushing away from the

198
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,920
head. 
So if you're an atheist, can I 

199
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,920
love him? 
Ask you a question? 

200
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,280
If these systems were somehow 
the product of random, unguided 

201
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,400
evolution, how many giraffes do 
you think passed out until these

202
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,080
features somehow knew to evolve?
The obvious answer is that the 

203
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,520
very first giraffe must have had
these complex features already 

204
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,800
wired inside it, or they 
wouldn't have been able to 

205
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,160
survive and pass on their genes 
and still be here today. 

206
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,080
I'm going to choose my. 
Words carefully now because as I

207
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,960
said in my Missing Link video, 
it is not my goal in any way to 

208
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,600
try and come across as smug or 
arrogant or to try and win an 

209
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,560
argument. 
No, I just very gently want to 

210
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:31,760
try and get people to think 
whether you believe in. 

211
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,560
Evolution or Not? 
If you're totally honest with me

212
00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:38,880
right now, you've got to agree 
that it does make sense. 

213
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,360
For these complex. 
Systems to have. 

214
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,200
An intelligent mind behind them.
The eye has a superior auto 

215
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,600
focusing system, more so than 
the best DSR camera. 

216
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:49,520
That you can. 
Buy in any. 

217
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,800
Shop. 
And yet how? 

218
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,360
Many of you would believe that a
camera could build itself. 

219
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,520
Even the technology. 
That we all have today that 

220
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,520
right now we're a little. 
Bit fearful. 

221
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,080
Of this technology, yes, it 
knows how to recreate itself. 

222
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,800
But it first had to be designed.
It first had to be instructed. 

223
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,200
It first had to be fed 
information by an intelligent 

224
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,600
human mind, or else it wouldn't 
be here today. 

225
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,680
So why is it we are told to 
believe? 

226
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,400
That our eight. 
Billion minds, Smart thinking 

227
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,360
minds came from no minds. 
Why are we told to believe that?

228
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,480
Our. 
Conscious mind came. 

229
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,840
From the unconscious, these are 
serious questions that I believe

230
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,000
every atheist must have an 
answer for. 

231
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,040
Because if they are wrong, well,
the Bible is clear, they will 

232
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,240
one day meet the God that they 
have rejected and they will bow 

233
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,000
to his son. 
But my dear friends, listen to 

234
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,320
me because anyone who can hear 
my voice right now is not 

235
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,200
without hope. 
There is no one who is too far 

236
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,120
gone. 
Why? 

237
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:56,160
Because God the Father came up 
with a wonderful salvation plan 

238
00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:00,240
which is irreducibly complex. 
I've been thinking about this 

239
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,120
because if you. 
Think. 

240
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,080
About our salvation. 
If any. 

241
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,280
Part of it was removed any of 
these. 

242
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,960
Interacting parts came. 
Away, then the plan would not 

243
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,000
work. 
So everyone, take this into your

244
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,000
mind. 
And stop me if I get. 

245
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,480
Something wrong? 
Because you. 

246
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,520
And I have messed up. 
We have tried to run the show 

247
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,160
ourselves. 
We have broken God's laws, and 

248
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,920
therefore we have accumulated a 
huge debt of sins which we. 

249
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,320
Cannot pay off. 
So the first thing we need is 

250
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,600
someone to pay off our sins. 
That's the first part. 

251
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:35,760
However, it's no good having any
old Joe to write off our debts. 

252
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,280
This person has to be perfect. 
They have to be without sin. 

253
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,440
Otherwise they would first have 
to pay off their own sins before

254
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,920
they could save any of us. 
And that is the second part. 

255
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,960
Now, according to the scripture,
for us to be forgiven, blood has

256
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,440
to be spilled. 
The Bible says for the wages of 

257
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:59,080
sin is death, but the gift of 
God is eternal life in Christ 

258
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,800
Jesus our Lord. 
It also says, and according to 

259
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,920
the law, almost all things are 
purified with blood, and without

260
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,600
shedding of blood there is no 
remission. 

261
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:15,040
So someone had to shed their 
blood, to wash away, to scrub 

262
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,360
away our guilty stains of sin. 
That's the third part. 

263
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,560
OK, but what good is forgiveness
if we just die, if there is no 

264
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,720
paradise after this life? 
So what do we need now? 

265
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,280
Well, we need someone who can 
empty our grave and give us 

266
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,720
eternal life. 
Someone who has the power to 

267
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,880
conquer death and not only raise
themselves from the dead, but 

268
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,840
everyone who trusts in him. 
That's the 4th part. 

269
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,040
But friends, here's another 
thing for us to consider in our 

270
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,720
irreducibly complex salvation 
plan. 

271
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,520
How do we? 
Get to heaven. 

272
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,600
When we are down here on earth, 
we need heaven to come down to 

273
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,160
us. 
We need this risen one to come 

274
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,440
back like a groom meets his 
bride. 

275
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,600
We need this person to rescue 
us, to deal with all those who 

276
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,840
hate him and hate his words. 
We need this person to come and 

277
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,760
collect himself for people, for 
himself and to bring us before 

278
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,000
the throne of God where we will 
worship, ship the Father and 

279
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,120
work for him in all of eternity.
That is the 5th part. 

280
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:15,080
So. 
Come on now. 

281
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,480
Here's the moment of truth. 
Who is this one? 

282
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,840
Who is the only one who can 
weave together this irreducibly 

283
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,360
complex salvation plan? 
It is none other than the Lord 

284
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,680
Jesus Christ who died on a cross
for wretched sinners like me for

285
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:29,640
a wretched. 
Sinner. 

286
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,760
Like you, who on the cross paid 
the price for our sins, took all

287
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,120
of our debts in his body, who 
was then put in a tomb, but on 

288
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:38,840
the third day rose from the 
dead. 

289
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,960
After raising himself back to 
life, he went and ascended, and 

290
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,080
now he is at the right hand of 
God. 

291
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,840
But one day he's coming back to 
collect for himself a people, a 

292
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,080
bride for himself that will 
worship him in spirit and in 

293
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,080
truth. 
For all of eternity there is 

294
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,000
none other than the man Jesus 
Christ, who we must worship, and

295
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,480
he alone can save us. 
But there is a final part to 

296
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,160
this irreducibly complex 
salvation plan, and it involves 

297
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,040
you. 
You yourself have to be a 

298
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,920
willing participant. 
As the old saying goes, God only

299
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,520
helps those who want to help 
themselves. 

300
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,240
And if you don't want this 
salvation plan, well, God will 

301
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,280
not push it on you. 
No, God gently draws people to 

302
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,840
himself, but if you say no, 
he'll respect your wishes. 

303
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,360
So can I ask you a question that
perhaps you've never, ever 

304
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,480
thought about? 
Do you actually want to be 

305
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,280
saved? 
Do you actually want your sins 

306
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,320
to be forgiven? 
Do you actually want to to turn 

307
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,560
away from all these false gods 
that you've trusted in and now 

308
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,440
trust in the Lord Jesus Christ? 
Do you actually want eternal 

309
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,240
life? 
Because whether you want eternal

310
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,960
life or not, you'll get it. 
You'll either get it with the 

311
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,640
Evil One for all of eternity in 
hell, or you'll get it with the 

312
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,520
Lord Jesus Christ for all of 
eternity in heaven. 

313
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,720
Oh, my dear friends, whatever 
your thoughts are on evolution, 

314
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,119
this is not a salvation issue, 
but there is an issue of your 

315
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,800
soul and your sin, and that is 
no fairy tale. 

316
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,319
Whether you think all of these 
things in the Bible are fairy 

317
00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:12,640
tales, your sin is not a fairy 
tale and you need it dealing 

318
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,800
with right now. 
So please turn to God in faith 

319
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,240
and repentance and let him wash 
away all of your sins and give 

320
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,640
you eternal life and give you 
hope beyond the grave under 

321
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,520
normal circumstances. 
At this point in the video I 

322
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,440
would address those who are 
saved and I would say if you're 

323
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,400
a Christian, please subscribe to
my YouTube. 

324
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:32,920
Channel now. 
Yes, if you. 

325
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,000
Are one. 
Please do consider joining our 

326
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,000
Off the Curb family, but right 
now there's something far more 

327
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,560
important than that, I believe. 
There are still some atheists 

328
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,200
watching my video. 
Right now, and you're still 

329
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,480
unconvinced, you're saying to 
me, okay Joe, you want to say 

330
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,120
that this world had a designer 
and it was all created, but the 

331
00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:55,160
big question needs to be asked. 
Who created God then? 

332
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,960
Well, if you want an answer to 
that question, you probably 

333
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,240
should check this out right 
away.
