1
00:00:01,090 --> 00:00:05,494
[foreboding music playing]
2
00:00:22,611 --> 00:00:27,616
[rain rustling]
3
00:00:35,023 --> 00:00:37,992
[foreboding music continues]
4
00:03:53,488 --> 00:03:55,256
I think people don't
believe in the flood today
5
00:03:55,457 --> 00:03:59,661
because they don't have access
to the accurate information
6
00:03:59,828 --> 00:04:01,195
and evidences that are there.
7
00:04:01,363 --> 00:04:04,165
They are simply captive
8
00:04:04,333 --> 00:04:07,502
to entertainment, social media.
9
00:04:07,669 --> 00:04:09,904
There you have
movies like "Noah"
10
00:04:10,071 --> 00:04:12,707
that in a very
fictional and nonsensical way
11
00:04:12,874 --> 00:04:14,609
distorts the Bible totally,
12
00:04:14,809 --> 00:04:16,745
and for many people,
that's the only source they have
13
00:04:16,911 --> 00:04:18,580
for something they think
is a biblical account.
14
00:04:18,747 --> 00:04:20,415
And we have, of course,
15
00:04:20,582 --> 00:04:23,952
the whole embedded
presupposition of evolution
16
00:04:24,152 --> 00:04:26,521
and the geologic
column and all of these things
17
00:04:26,688 --> 00:04:28,923
which tell students
as they come along
18
00:04:29,090 --> 00:04:31,393
that the Earth has
existed for millions,
19
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,294
if not billions of years,
20
00:04:33,495 --> 00:04:36,965
that man is a product
simply of natural succession.
21
00:04:37,165 --> 00:04:39,868
A flood is a supernatural event.
22
00:04:40,034 --> 00:04:42,571
A flood is a divine judgment.
23
00:04:42,737 --> 00:04:44,939
A flood destroyed mankind.
24
00:04:45,106 --> 00:04:46,575
And they're not told
25
00:04:46,741 --> 00:04:48,610
that there are
evidences of these things.
26
00:04:48,777 --> 00:04:51,913
They aren't shown
the historicity of Genesis
27
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,716
to say that this
holds up very well
28
00:04:54,883 --> 00:04:56,885
in terms of our scientific age.
29
00:04:57,051 --> 00:04:58,453
So it's simply,
you know, on the one hand,
30
00:04:58,620 --> 00:05:00,221
a lack of information,
31
00:05:00,389 --> 00:05:02,624
-and then on the other hand...
-The fear of man.
32
00:05:02,791 --> 00:05:04,959
For the same reason
that they don't believe
in a lot of the things
33
00:05:05,126 --> 00:05:07,095
that the Bible
says are literally true,
34
00:05:07,261 --> 00:05:09,297
literally history,
and literally science.
35
00:05:09,464 --> 00:05:10,765
The fear of looking silly
36
00:05:10,932 --> 00:05:12,801
and the intimidation by people
37
00:05:12,967 --> 00:05:16,971
who host science television
shows and wear white lab coats.
38
00:05:17,138 --> 00:05:18,807
I think it's really
39
00:05:18,973 --> 00:05:21,342
that they're afraid of
appearing silly in any way.
40
00:05:21,543 --> 00:05:24,679
But when you actually
go past the surface
41
00:05:24,879 --> 00:05:28,450
and look at the feasibility
of it and the historicity of it,
42
00:05:28,617 --> 00:05:32,086
it's almost
inescapably plausible.
43
00:05:32,253 --> 00:05:34,856
Conventional scientists,
the secular scientists
44
00:05:35,056 --> 00:05:37,526
think that the present
is the key to the past.
45
00:05:37,726 --> 00:05:39,160
The Bible, in fact, tells us
46
00:05:39,327 --> 00:05:40,962
that the past is
the key to the present,
47
00:05:41,129 --> 00:05:43,197
and the flood is
key to understanding
48
00:05:43,398 --> 00:05:45,299
why the world is
the way it is today.
49
00:05:45,467 --> 00:05:47,836
Not just the geology,
but even the humanity.
50
00:05:48,002 --> 00:05:51,139
Understanding the ark
and the flood is very relevant
51
00:05:51,305 --> 00:05:53,374
to understanding why
the world is the way it is today
52
00:05:53,575 --> 00:05:55,043
and how we got to be here.
53
00:05:55,243 --> 00:05:57,111
Everyone is
interested in their history,
54
00:05:57,278 --> 00:06:00,649
and the flood is key
to understanding our roots.
55
00:06:00,815 --> 00:06:02,851
In the early 19th century,
56
00:06:03,017 --> 00:06:05,787
when the idea of
millions of years was developed,
57
00:06:05,954 --> 00:06:08,957
it developed as a result
of a conscious rejection
58
00:06:09,123 --> 00:06:12,326
of the flood and
the biblical chronology.
59
00:06:12,494 --> 00:06:14,863
Most of the church
came to the conclusion
60
00:06:15,029 --> 00:06:16,364
that the flood wasn't global,
61
00:06:16,531 --> 00:06:19,200
it wasn't really
geologically significant,
62
00:06:19,367 --> 00:06:21,235
the age of
the Earth doesn't matter,
63
00:06:21,436 --> 00:06:24,405
and so over
the next 100-150 years,
64
00:06:24,606 --> 00:06:26,675
the flood was
just kind of forgotten.
65
00:06:26,841 --> 00:06:29,744
And it still,
in large measure today,
66
00:06:29,944 --> 00:06:31,680
is ignored by most Christians.
67
00:06:31,846 --> 00:06:35,216
They just never think
of it and its relationship
68
00:06:35,383 --> 00:06:36,651
to the question of
the age of the Earth,
69
00:06:36,818 --> 00:06:38,553
but it's critically important.
70
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,922
We can go back and we can see
71
00:06:41,122 --> 00:06:42,991
in the fossil record,
for example, what happened.
72
00:06:43,157 --> 00:06:44,693
When we look at
the world around us,
73
00:06:44,859 --> 00:06:47,496
we look at all of those
hundreds of rock layers,
74
00:06:47,662 --> 00:06:49,197
they're sedimentary layers.
75
00:06:49,363 --> 00:06:50,932
That means they were
laid down by water.
76
00:06:51,132 --> 00:06:52,767
The flood was
a reminder that God judges sin,
77
00:06:52,967 --> 00:06:55,403
and God said He's
gonna judge the world again.
78
00:06:55,570 --> 00:06:58,740
He sent the flood
to punish evil at that time,
79
00:06:58,907 --> 00:07:01,576
and that's why
God sent the flood.
80
00:07:01,743 --> 00:07:03,845
It's important to punish evil.
81
00:07:04,012 --> 00:07:05,580
-That's justice.
-Justice.
82
00:07:05,747 --> 00:07:07,381
What is just?
83
00:07:08,382 --> 00:07:11,786
The reason the ark is so
amazingly relevant to the flood
84
00:07:11,986 --> 00:07:14,088
is because man's sin
85
00:07:14,255 --> 00:07:16,390
-deserves judgment.
-Judgment.
86
00:07:17,492 --> 00:07:20,228
The Bible clearly reveals
that we are now
approaching the time
87
00:07:20,394 --> 00:07:24,132
when the second
global judgment will come.
88
00:07:24,332 --> 00:07:25,967
If we don't
understand or believe
89
00:07:26,167 --> 00:07:27,902
in the first global judgment,
90
00:07:28,336 --> 00:07:32,774
then we will not be ready
for the final global judgment.
91
00:07:32,941 --> 00:07:35,443
So the consequences
of the next judgment
92
00:07:35,610 --> 00:07:38,446
could not
possibly be more relevant.
93
00:07:38,613 --> 00:07:41,449
What is at stake
is heaven or hell.
94
00:07:47,556 --> 00:07:49,891
The Holy Bible.
95
00:07:51,192 --> 00:07:55,063
A book inspired
and architected by God
96
00:07:55,229 --> 00:07:56,765
and written by His people,
97
00:07:57,899 --> 00:08:01,603
dating back to the beginning
of real human history
98
00:08:01,770 --> 00:08:04,673
from the time of
man's true origins.
99
00:08:05,406 --> 00:08:06,908
A book that teaches us
100
00:08:07,075 --> 00:08:09,611
that the Earth is
not millions of years old,
101
00:08:09,778 --> 00:08:11,846
as we've been
brought up to believe.
102
00:08:12,814 --> 00:08:16,918
A book teaching us that we did
not come from monkeys or apes
103
00:08:17,085 --> 00:08:18,820
or primordial soup.
104
00:08:18,987 --> 00:08:23,524
But a book that instead
shows us our creator
105
00:08:23,725 --> 00:08:27,361
is a loving,
merciful, and just God.
106
00:08:28,129 --> 00:08:30,464
A God who created
a beautiful world
107
00:08:30,632 --> 00:08:34,202
in which the entire
planet was once a paradise,
108
00:08:35,637 --> 00:08:37,839
a paradise that He gave to us
109
00:08:38,006 --> 00:08:40,842
to fill up and multiply across.
110
00:08:42,243 --> 00:08:45,647
In Genesis, we're
shown that God had finished
111
00:08:45,814 --> 00:08:49,618
all of creation
in six literal days,
112
00:08:50,284 --> 00:08:53,855
and that, indeed,
everything he had created
113
00:08:54,022 --> 00:08:56,958
was very, very good.
114
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,308
In the span of four days,
115
00:09:14,475 --> 00:09:18,212
God was finished with
the heavens and the Earth.
116
00:09:19,147 --> 00:09:21,249
And it was on the fifth day
117
00:09:21,449 --> 00:09:24,653
that He began
making the sea creatures,
118
00:09:24,819 --> 00:09:26,554
both great and small.
119
00:09:27,622 --> 00:09:29,691
And on that very same day,
120
00:09:29,858 --> 00:09:33,094
He also made all of
the exotic flying creatures,
121
00:09:35,296 --> 00:09:38,232
which flew
through the open firmament
122
00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:39,600
of the beautiful heaven.
123
00:09:43,004 --> 00:09:44,605
On the sixth day,
124
00:09:44,806 --> 00:09:47,508
He made all of
the majestic land creatures,
125
00:09:49,978 --> 00:09:52,246
which included
all of the dinosaurs,
126
00:09:52,413 --> 00:09:54,182
along with mankind.
127
00:09:56,685 --> 00:09:58,920
He also planted a garden,
128
00:09:59,087 --> 00:10:00,789
and in the midst of it,
129
00:10:00,989 --> 00:10:02,423
the Tree of Life.
130
00:10:04,092 --> 00:10:05,459
But there was another tree
131
00:10:05,660 --> 00:10:07,595
God had also
placed in the garden,
132
00:10:07,762 --> 00:10:10,899
one that God commanded man
133
00:10:11,866 --> 00:10:13,868
not to eat from.
134
00:10:15,169 --> 00:10:18,306
Sadly, mankind
used their free will
135
00:10:18,506 --> 00:10:21,710
to sin against
their holy and righteous God.
136
00:10:21,876 --> 00:10:24,612
With free will
comes consequences,
137
00:10:24,779 --> 00:10:26,915
and in this case,
the consequences of sin
138
00:10:27,081 --> 00:10:30,752
would plunge
mankind into darkness.
139
00:10:33,221 --> 00:10:34,989
Before the Fall, God saw
everything that He had made,
140
00:10:35,223 --> 00:10:37,558
and it was very good, tov meod.
141
00:10:37,726 --> 00:10:40,494
It was just
the way it should have been.
142
00:10:40,695 --> 00:10:43,164
It came forth
exactly as he intended.
143
00:10:43,364 --> 00:10:45,734
At the end of Genesis 1,
it says it was very good.
144
00:10:45,900 --> 00:10:47,568
"God looked at
everything He had made,
145
00:10:47,736 --> 00:10:49,170
and it was very good."
146
00:10:49,370 --> 00:10:52,974
And we get some
idea of how good it was
147
00:10:53,141 --> 00:10:56,110
in the last three
verses when God says
148
00:10:56,277 --> 00:11:00,081
that both man and the animals
and birds were vegetarian.
149
00:11:00,248 --> 00:11:01,916
They didn't eat each other.
150
00:11:02,083 --> 00:11:04,618
They ate the plants
and the fruit of the plants.
151
00:11:04,786 --> 00:11:08,589
That's telling us a lot about
how very good the world was.
152
00:11:08,757 --> 00:11:11,692
Creation was in
a state of innocence.
153
00:11:11,893 --> 00:11:14,595
This affirms a fundamental
element of God's character.
154
00:11:14,763 --> 00:11:16,130
He is good.
155
00:11:16,297 --> 00:11:18,933
God is not
the author of evil or death.
156
00:11:19,100 --> 00:11:22,436
God came into the garden,
He had fellowship with man,
157
00:11:22,603 --> 00:11:26,607
and they could actually
communicate with Him
and see Him,
158
00:11:26,775 --> 00:11:30,444
according to the way
we understand
the pre-Fall condition.
159
00:11:30,611 --> 00:11:31,813
They would have lived forever.
160
00:11:31,980 --> 00:11:33,481
God warned him beforehand,
161
00:11:33,647 --> 00:11:35,817
"If you eat from this,
you're going to die."
162
00:11:35,984 --> 00:11:37,285
Well, Adam did eat.
163
00:11:37,451 --> 00:11:38,953
God told Adam,
"You're gonna die."
164
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,454
God said, "From dust you came,
165
00:11:40,621 --> 00:11:41,890
and to dust you shall return,"
166
00:11:42,090 --> 00:11:43,557
so that's physical death.
167
00:11:43,758 --> 00:11:45,794
Through one man,
sin entered the world,
168
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,561
and death through sin.
169
00:11:47,762 --> 00:11:50,131
Adam and Eve
began to die physically.
170
00:11:50,298 --> 00:11:53,634
The fall of man
affected the whole creation.
171
00:11:53,802 --> 00:11:55,003
The ground was cursed.
172
00:11:55,169 --> 00:11:57,538
The whole creation is groaning
173
00:11:57,705 --> 00:12:00,141
in bondage to corruption.
174
00:12:00,308 --> 00:12:02,210
Sadly, the reality of the Fall
175
00:12:02,376 --> 00:12:05,213
is now easily
seen wherever we look.
176
00:12:05,379 --> 00:12:07,748
In this broken world,
we see pervasive death,
177
00:12:07,949 --> 00:12:11,485
violence,
corruption, lies, hate, and sin.
178
00:12:11,652 --> 00:12:15,723
Man is exiled from
the place of God's own presence,
179
00:12:15,890 --> 00:12:19,427
and that fellowship
is not restored as it was.
180
00:12:19,627 --> 00:12:22,897
Man is going to have to labor
by the sweat of his brow,
181
00:12:23,064 --> 00:12:26,700
and then he will return to
the dust from which he was made.
182
00:12:26,868 --> 00:12:28,569
That is what has
happened to the world.
183
00:12:28,736 --> 00:12:30,438
So it describes entropy,
184
00:12:30,638 --> 00:12:33,942
the whole idea that things
are subject to decay,
185
00:12:34,142 --> 00:12:36,244
dissolution, finally death.
186
00:12:36,410 --> 00:12:38,012
The whole world is like this.
187
00:12:38,179 --> 00:12:40,781
It has a limited
shelf life, so to speak.
188
00:12:40,982 --> 00:12:43,251
It changed the world profoundly.
189
00:12:43,417 --> 00:12:46,620
Pretty much everything
was corrupted, the human soul.
190
00:12:46,821 --> 00:12:51,759
Even the creatures were suddenly
carnivorous or poisonous.
191
00:12:51,926 --> 00:12:55,796
Diseases and viruses emerged
that were otherwise benign.
192
00:12:55,997 --> 00:12:57,298
It just radically
changed everything.
193
00:12:57,498 --> 00:12:58,466
It even changed plants.
194
00:12:58,666 --> 00:13:00,068
Plants suddenly became weeds
195
00:13:00,234 --> 00:13:01,602
and choked out the crops.
196
00:13:01,769 --> 00:13:03,137
The ground was cursed.
197
00:13:03,337 --> 00:13:04,939
Thorns and
thistles began to grow.
198
00:13:05,106 --> 00:13:07,608
We don't live in
the original very good creation.
199
00:13:07,775 --> 00:13:10,578
We live in a fallen
creation, a cursed creation.
200
00:13:10,744 --> 00:13:14,548
The Fall was
a massive, catastrophic,
201
00:13:14,715 --> 00:13:16,985
world-changing event.
202
00:13:17,185 --> 00:13:18,786
So everything was corrupted.
203
00:13:18,953 --> 00:13:22,090
It was a tragedy on
the highest possible level.
204
00:13:22,256 --> 00:13:24,058
Evil had to mature
205
00:13:24,225 --> 00:13:27,228
before God
unleashed the first judgment.
206
00:13:33,267 --> 00:13:36,404
The Lord God
had made a beautiful world
207
00:13:37,438 --> 00:13:41,142
in which everything
was once very good.
208
00:13:42,276 --> 00:13:45,113
But when the first
man broke God's command,
209
00:13:45,279 --> 00:13:48,917
man's domain was
plunged into sin and death,
210
00:13:50,218 --> 00:13:53,754
which only grew worse
with the progression of time.
211
00:13:55,890 --> 00:13:58,960
And it was not just
men who had been corrupted,
212
00:13:59,127 --> 00:14:02,596
but all under man's dominion.
213
00:14:03,131 --> 00:14:05,633
Animals became carnivores
214
00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:08,502
and turned on
each other and man.
215
00:14:10,638 --> 00:14:14,042
Where once the Earth had
been filled with God's goodness,
216
00:14:14,242 --> 00:14:18,546
now was filled with
the celebration of evil
217
00:14:18,746 --> 00:14:20,314
and endless violence.
218
00:14:23,817 --> 00:14:27,155
Paradise, along
with man's innocence,
219
00:14:28,356 --> 00:14:29,523
was now gone.
220
00:14:50,144 --> 00:14:52,880
The Lord Jesus
would tell us later
221
00:14:53,047 --> 00:14:56,517
that just as in
the days of Noah,
222
00:14:57,385 --> 00:15:00,254
so too would
the world become again
223
00:15:00,454 --> 00:15:02,823
just before His return.
224
00:15:49,270 --> 00:15:52,306
Most flood geologists point
out that the world, the Earth
225
00:15:52,506 --> 00:15:56,910
had a more
global warm mild climate,
226
00:15:57,078 --> 00:15:59,413
and the evolutionists
believe that too.
227
00:15:59,580 --> 00:16:01,249
It's not just
because of continental drift
228
00:16:01,415 --> 00:16:05,553
that we find pine tree
forests and dinosaur fossils
229
00:16:05,719 --> 00:16:06,920
on Antarctica.
230
00:16:07,088 --> 00:16:08,222
Not just
because those continents
231
00:16:08,389 --> 00:16:10,224
were once in different places,
232
00:16:10,391 --> 00:16:14,628
but because the Earth had a
warmer, milder, global climate,
233
00:16:14,795 --> 00:16:17,298
heavier, lusher vegetation,
234
00:16:17,465 --> 00:16:19,933
greener, thicker forests
235
00:16:20,101 --> 00:16:22,403
that stretched
further towards the poles
236
00:16:22,570 --> 00:16:24,572
and away from
the equatorial zones.
237
00:16:24,738 --> 00:16:27,141
Right now, we just
don't have the kinds of forests
238
00:16:27,308 --> 00:16:30,244
that could generate
the coal deposits that we have
239
00:16:30,411 --> 00:16:34,615
or provided the vast source
240
00:16:34,782 --> 00:16:38,252
for the carbon
that would have been necessary
241
00:16:38,419 --> 00:16:40,521
for the coal
seams that we have today.
242
00:16:40,721 --> 00:16:43,357
We would have had
to have had a lusher, warmer,
243
00:16:43,557 --> 00:16:47,128
more forested,
more vegetated Earth.
244
00:16:47,295 --> 00:16:50,030
Clearly, the amount of
vegetation in
the pre-flood world
245
00:16:50,231 --> 00:16:51,965
was far superior,
246
00:16:52,133 --> 00:16:53,534
far more luxuriant.
247
00:16:53,734 --> 00:16:56,437
Today's world is
a desert by comparison
248
00:16:56,604 --> 00:16:58,506
to what the pre-flood
world would have been like,
249
00:16:58,672 --> 00:17:02,343
a much gentler topography,
a much easier climate,
250
00:17:02,510 --> 00:17:05,613
much more prolific
vegetation and animal life.
251
00:17:05,779 --> 00:17:07,948
We have many
creatures in the fossil record
252
00:17:08,116 --> 00:17:09,150
that are just like today,
253
00:17:09,317 --> 00:17:10,551
but they were much larger.
254
00:17:10,751 --> 00:17:12,520
So giantism in
the fossil record.
255
00:17:12,686 --> 00:17:15,156
That indicates
that the pre-flood world
256
00:17:15,323 --> 00:17:19,127
was much more
suitable for biological life.
257
00:17:19,293 --> 00:17:23,030
Originally at least,
it wouldn't have had
impassable mountain ranges.
258
00:17:23,197 --> 00:17:25,032
It wouldn't have
had huge desert areas.
259
00:17:25,199 --> 00:17:27,368
God created
the world to be inhabited.
260
00:17:27,535 --> 00:17:29,370
Prior to the flood,
mankind had wrecked
261
00:17:29,537 --> 00:17:31,305
their environment
to a large degree.
262
00:17:31,472 --> 00:17:33,374
The Bible talks
about the wickedness of men.
263
00:17:33,541 --> 00:17:36,310
In Genesis 6, it speaks of
"Every thought of man's heart
264
00:17:36,477 --> 00:17:38,479
was only evil continually,"
265
00:17:38,646 --> 00:17:41,349
and that the whole world
was filled with violence
because of man.
266
00:17:41,515 --> 00:17:45,018
To me, I think it would be
a very frightful place to live.
267
00:17:45,186 --> 00:17:47,054
The intents and thoughts
of the human heart
268
00:17:47,221 --> 00:17:49,357
were only evil continually.
269
00:17:49,523 --> 00:17:52,059
The Earth was
filled with violence,
270
00:17:52,226 --> 00:17:55,062
and all flesh had
corrupted its way on the Earth.
271
00:17:55,229 --> 00:18:00,033
So it was excessive sin
and violence and wickedness,
272
00:18:00,201 --> 00:18:03,003
and God said, "I'm
going to destroy the Earth."
273
00:18:03,171 --> 00:18:05,206
The remnant Noah and his family,
274
00:18:05,373 --> 00:18:07,107
they found grace in God's sight.
275
00:18:07,308 --> 00:18:09,177
Apparently they were not
of those that were corrupted,
276
00:18:09,343 --> 00:18:12,045
and God took
that remnant of mankind,
277
00:18:12,213 --> 00:18:13,747
was able to preserve it.
278
00:18:13,914 --> 00:18:15,783
But one of the things
people find interesting
279
00:18:15,983 --> 00:18:18,519
is the lifespans of
humans before the flood.
280
00:18:18,686 --> 00:18:20,588
And Noah was 600 years old,
281
00:18:20,754 --> 00:18:24,124
and after he got off the ark,
he lived 350 more years.
282
00:18:24,325 --> 00:18:26,760
He was 950
years old when he died.
283
00:18:26,927 --> 00:18:29,863
Now, his sons
that got off the ark
284
00:18:30,030 --> 00:18:31,699
didn't live
that long themselves,
285
00:18:31,865 --> 00:18:34,468
but they lived into their 500s.
286
00:18:34,668 --> 00:18:37,238
And then the next generation
and the next generation,
287
00:18:37,405 --> 00:18:39,473
the 400s, the 300s.
288
00:18:39,673 --> 00:18:42,042
We are getting
to Terah, Abraham's father,
289
00:18:42,210 --> 00:18:43,211
living into his 200s.
290
00:18:43,377 --> 00:18:45,112
Abraham lived to be 175.
291
00:18:45,279 --> 00:18:49,082
And it was an exponential
decay in the lifespans.
292
00:18:49,250 --> 00:18:50,651
Adam and Eve had no mutations.
293
00:18:50,851 --> 00:18:53,421
The first 10
patriarchs before the flood
294
00:18:53,587 --> 00:18:55,589
had very low mutation rates,
295
00:18:55,756 --> 00:18:58,426
and so they were all
living to be about the same age.
296
00:18:58,592 --> 00:19:00,761
Something happened
at the time of the flood,
297
00:19:00,928 --> 00:19:04,131
and that's when this
incredible degeneration
298
00:19:04,298 --> 00:19:05,766
of humanity happened.
299
00:19:05,933 --> 00:19:09,937
There was this
incredible decline in longevity.
300
00:19:10,103 --> 00:19:12,840
When you plot
the data, it's astounding.
301
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,277
Because the data, which is
straight out of the Bible,
302
00:19:16,444 --> 00:19:19,447
and you wouldn't expect
scientific data in the Bible,
303
00:19:19,613 --> 00:19:23,917
but the data
follows a strict decay curve,
304
00:19:24,084 --> 00:19:25,319
and it's stunning.
305
00:19:27,488 --> 00:19:29,523
In the Bible, we are
told that before the flood,
306
00:19:29,723 --> 00:19:31,992
men lived to be
nearly a thousand years old.
307
00:19:32,159 --> 00:19:33,794
The average age
of men at the time
308
00:19:33,961 --> 00:19:36,764
was so staggeringly
high compared to today
309
00:19:36,930 --> 00:19:38,799
that some have a difficult time
310
00:19:38,966 --> 00:19:42,836
comprehending how such
longevity was even possible.
311
00:19:43,003 --> 00:19:45,773
Yet, a major clue
lies within the ages
312
00:19:45,939 --> 00:19:48,175
given to us in
the book of Genesis.
313
00:19:48,342 --> 00:19:51,512
In almost computer-like fashion,
the book of Genesis reveals
314
00:19:51,679 --> 00:19:53,013
that the post-flood lifespans
315
00:19:53,180 --> 00:19:55,616
of the genealogical line of Adam
316
00:19:55,783 --> 00:20:00,053
following mathematical concepts
known as exponential decay.
317
00:20:00,254 --> 00:20:02,790
Meaning that if
you were to graph the lifespans
318
00:20:02,956 --> 00:20:04,858
of all of
the men after the flood,
319
00:20:05,025 --> 00:20:08,496
you don't see a linear
line gradually sloping down,
320
00:20:08,662 --> 00:20:11,198
as you would likely
see if the ages were made up,
321
00:20:11,365 --> 00:20:15,503
but instead, what you see is
an exponentially decaying curve
322
00:20:15,669 --> 00:20:19,172
with minor variations
since no two people are alike.
323
00:20:19,340 --> 00:20:22,576
Would the men who recorded
these ages through history
324
00:20:22,776 --> 00:20:25,479
really have conspired
together to create data
325
00:20:25,646 --> 00:20:28,849
that follows
an exponential decay curve?
326
00:20:29,016 --> 00:20:32,853
Instead, what we see resembles
exactly the type of data
327
00:20:33,020 --> 00:20:36,390
we would expect in the aftermath
of a worldwide flood,
328
00:20:36,557 --> 00:20:39,360
revealing a steep
initial drop-off of lifespans
329
00:20:39,527 --> 00:20:41,061
just after the flood
330
00:20:41,228 --> 00:20:44,865
due to the catastrophic
environmental changes.
331
00:20:45,032 --> 00:20:47,835
No more access
to nutrient-dense foods
332
00:20:48,001 --> 00:20:49,703
from the world that was lost
333
00:20:49,870 --> 00:20:53,341
and genetic mutations
that were not before present.
334
00:20:53,507 --> 00:20:55,242
The truth is that no one
335
00:20:55,409 --> 00:20:57,244
at the time of
recording these metrics
336
00:20:57,411 --> 00:21:01,081
would even think to plot them
in an exponential decay curve
337
00:21:01,248 --> 00:21:03,216
if they were making a fiction.
338
00:21:03,384 --> 00:21:07,020
This sophisticated decay
curve is actually the result
339
00:21:07,187 --> 00:21:10,958
of a real and
easily provable flood event.
340
00:21:14,428 --> 00:21:16,196
The objections to Noah's flood
341
00:21:16,364 --> 00:21:18,632
are mostly ridicule
342
00:21:18,832 --> 00:21:20,901
and laugh out louds.
343
00:21:21,068 --> 00:21:22,970
The only serious
things are maybe trying to say,
344
00:21:23,170 --> 00:21:24,638
"Well, where did the water go?
345
00:21:24,838 --> 00:21:26,474
Where did the water come from?"
346
00:21:26,674 --> 00:21:29,309
And then lampooning Noah's Ark.
347
00:21:29,510 --> 00:21:31,645
There was
a Discover Channel special
348
00:21:31,845 --> 00:21:34,482
called "Noah's Ark:
The True Story,"
349
00:21:34,682 --> 00:21:37,951
where they showed
actors portraying
350
00:21:38,118 --> 00:21:42,723
the traditional biblical version
of the story of Noah's Ark,
351
00:21:42,890 --> 00:21:45,225
and then
they showed you the true story.
352
00:21:45,393 --> 00:21:48,829
And Noah was dressed in
a tunic, was bare-chested,
353
00:21:49,029 --> 00:21:51,499
had a shaved head,
looked like an Egyptian,
354
00:21:51,699 --> 00:21:55,803
and Noah's Ark was a beer barge.
355
00:21:55,969 --> 00:21:58,105
I'm not kidding, look it up.
356
00:21:58,271 --> 00:22:02,676
Discover Channel,
"Noah's Ark: The True Story?"
357
00:22:02,876 --> 00:22:04,612
How do they know that?
358
00:22:04,778 --> 00:22:07,014
Asserting that that's
what the real story was,
359
00:22:07,214 --> 00:22:10,117
and then watched
it fall apart into pieces
360
00:22:10,283 --> 00:22:12,753
as it, of course,
was structurally not sound,
361
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,288
ridiculing
the structure of the ark.
362
00:22:15,456 --> 00:22:18,792
When I was a masters student
at Ohio State University,
363
00:22:18,959 --> 00:22:21,161
I looked at the geometry
364
00:22:21,328 --> 00:22:23,163
of the cross-section
365
00:22:23,330 --> 00:22:24,965
and of the length
366
00:22:25,132 --> 00:22:27,768
of just the straightforward
reading of the Bible.
367
00:22:27,935 --> 00:22:31,271
And I found out
that it's dynamically stable,
368
00:22:31,439 --> 00:22:34,374
90 degrees in pitch mode
369
00:22:34,575 --> 00:22:36,309
and 90 degrees in yaw mode,
370
00:22:36,844 --> 00:22:40,147
meaning it'll go all up to
90 degrees and it'll come back.
371
00:22:40,313 --> 00:22:41,815
It's stable.
372
00:22:41,982 --> 00:22:43,684
Not that that wouldn't
have caused problems
373
00:22:43,851 --> 00:22:45,318
for the people and
the animals in the ark
374
00:22:45,486 --> 00:22:46,820
if it had been tilted that much,
375
00:22:46,987 --> 00:22:48,789
but that does
show the stability.
376
00:22:49,189 --> 00:22:52,392
Certainly whatever they could
have taken in the turbulence,
377
00:22:52,593 --> 00:22:54,728
the ark could
have taken structurally.
378
00:22:54,928 --> 00:22:59,066
This is a 200-scale ark, and
I put it in my swimming pool,
379
00:22:59,266 --> 00:23:01,702
and we put a measurement device
on here that was one inch,
380
00:23:01,869 --> 00:23:04,237
and so we were
able to scale the waves.
381
00:23:04,438 --> 00:23:08,542
And do you know that it scaled
to 500-foot waves,
382
00:23:08,709 --> 00:23:09,810
and it was still stable.
383
00:23:09,977 --> 00:23:12,212
Never turned over, 500 foot.
384
00:23:12,379 --> 00:23:14,548
A tsunami, by the way,
is about a hundred feet.
385
00:23:14,715 --> 00:23:17,885
So, it lets you know about
the dynamic stability of this.
386
00:23:18,051 --> 00:23:21,154
Most of biology
didn't need to be on the ark.
387
00:23:21,321 --> 00:23:23,056
Most plants didn't
need to be on the ark.
388
00:23:23,223 --> 00:23:25,392
Most insects didn't
need to be on the ark.
389
00:23:25,559 --> 00:23:28,228
Only the creatures
that have breath in their lungs.
390
00:23:28,395 --> 00:23:30,363
Most of
the species live in the ocean,
391
00:23:30,531 --> 00:23:32,232
which do just fine in a flood.
392
00:23:32,399 --> 00:23:34,668
So the Bible doesn't
say that Noah was to take
393
00:23:34,835 --> 00:23:36,837
two of every
species onto the ark.
394
00:23:37,004 --> 00:23:39,039
He was to take
two of every kind,
395
00:23:39,206 --> 00:23:41,408
the same word
that's used in Genesis 1
396
00:23:41,575 --> 00:23:43,744
that talks about God
creating different kinds
397
00:23:43,911 --> 00:23:46,614
of plants and animals
to reproduce after their kind.
398
00:23:46,814 --> 00:23:50,183
And so we think there were
maybe only about 1,400 kinds
399
00:23:50,350 --> 00:23:53,186
and about 7,000
animals on the ark.
400
00:23:53,353 --> 00:23:57,390
Average size, maybe
a large sheep or a small cow,
401
00:23:57,558 --> 00:23:59,893
but most creatures
much smaller than that.
402
00:24:00,060 --> 00:24:01,895
We're not talking
about, for example,
403
00:24:02,062 --> 00:24:04,431
two Great Danes,
two German Shepherds,
404
00:24:04,598 --> 00:24:06,734
two wolves, two coyotes.
405
00:24:06,900 --> 00:24:09,537
He took two of
the dog kind on the ark,
406
00:24:09,703 --> 00:24:11,605
and we know from modern genetics
407
00:24:11,772 --> 00:24:14,107
that there's
tremendous genetic variation
408
00:24:14,274 --> 00:24:18,411
built into the DNA
for each kind of creature.
409
00:24:18,579 --> 00:24:21,882
And so, creation
scientists have been studying,
410
00:24:22,049 --> 00:24:24,084
well, what was the created kind
411
00:24:24,251 --> 00:24:27,588
in comparison to our modern
classification system?
412
00:24:27,755 --> 00:24:29,489
And they think
that in most cases,
413
00:24:29,690 --> 00:24:33,426
it was equivalent to
approximately the family level.
414
00:24:33,594 --> 00:24:35,495
The evolutionists
just exaggerate
415
00:24:35,696 --> 00:24:37,765
because they focus on species.
416
00:24:39,399 --> 00:24:41,301
Evolutionists
often claim that
417
00:24:41,468 --> 00:24:44,638
it would not be possible
to fit all of the species
of life on Earth
418
00:24:44,805 --> 00:24:47,140
onto a ship the size of the ark,
419
00:24:47,307 --> 00:24:49,276
even when
factoring just how humongous
420
00:24:49,442 --> 00:24:51,444
Noah's Ark actually was.
421
00:24:51,612 --> 00:24:54,414
At roughly 50
feet high, 85 feet wide,
422
00:24:54,582 --> 00:24:56,316
and more than 500 feet long,
423
00:24:56,483 --> 00:24:58,485
the ark is
the largest wooden vessel
424
00:24:58,652 --> 00:24:59,987
known to have been built by man,
425
00:25:00,153 --> 00:25:01,655
with the USS Wyoming,
426
00:25:01,822 --> 00:25:04,524
a gigantic wooden
schooner built in 1909,
427
00:25:04,725 --> 00:25:07,661
coming in at
second at 450 feet long.
428
00:25:07,828 --> 00:25:10,964
Yet regardless of size,
imagining how the ark
429
00:25:11,131 --> 00:25:14,167
could fit 18 million species
of all life on Earth
430
00:25:14,334 --> 00:25:16,770
is a rather elementary-level
way of understanding
431
00:25:16,937 --> 00:25:19,973
the excellent
efficiency of the ark's economy.
432
00:25:20,140 --> 00:25:22,342
The reality is
that the sea creatures,
433
00:25:22,509 --> 00:25:25,378
insects, invertebrates,
and plant species
434
00:25:25,579 --> 00:25:27,881
did not need to be
included on the ark.
435
00:25:28,916 --> 00:25:31,184
You see, God instructed Noah
436
00:25:31,351 --> 00:25:34,187
to only bring
the vertebrae land animals,
437
00:25:34,354 --> 00:25:36,156
and when
you simplify those animals
438
00:25:36,323 --> 00:25:38,992
to their genealogical class
structure found in Genesis,
439
00:25:39,159 --> 00:25:41,361
which is known as a kind,
440
00:25:41,528 --> 00:25:43,396
you can further
significantly reduce
441
00:25:43,597 --> 00:25:45,833
the number of
animal kinds needed
442
00:25:45,999 --> 00:25:48,902
down to around
roughly 1,400 kinds
443
00:25:49,102 --> 00:25:53,006
or approximately
6,750 animals in total.
444
00:25:54,141 --> 00:25:56,376
Of those animals,
you also don't need to bring
445
00:25:56,543 --> 00:25:58,178
fully mature adults,
446
00:25:58,345 --> 00:26:01,081
when smaller juveniles
would fit better, eat less,
447
00:26:01,281 --> 00:26:02,916
waste less, and live longer
448
00:26:03,116 --> 00:26:06,153
while reproducing
in the post-flood world.
449
00:26:06,319 --> 00:26:09,857
With roughly 6,750
animals onboard the ark,
450
00:26:10,023 --> 00:26:11,825
we can now also estimate
451
00:26:11,992 --> 00:26:14,762
that approximately
1,400 cages were needed,
452
00:26:14,962 --> 00:26:17,765
and when considering that only
20% of the ark's volume
453
00:26:17,965 --> 00:26:19,532
was needed for food storage,
454
00:26:19,700 --> 00:26:22,502
you can see that we have
plenty of room left over
455
00:26:22,670 --> 00:26:24,905
for cages and infrastructure,
456
00:26:25,072 --> 00:26:28,008
with the remaining area
able to fit the equivalent
457
00:26:28,175 --> 00:26:33,213
of 483 semi-trailers
within its volume.
458
00:26:33,380 --> 00:26:34,848
It's also no surprise
459
00:26:35,015 --> 00:26:37,084
that the dimensions
God gave for the ark
460
00:26:37,250 --> 00:26:39,920
turn out to be
optimal for stability.
461
00:26:40,087 --> 00:26:42,189
In fact,
if we were to scale the ark up,
462
00:26:42,355 --> 00:26:44,224
it appears
that modern cruise ships
463
00:26:44,391 --> 00:26:46,459
have taken notes
from the ark's dimensions,
464
00:26:46,660 --> 00:26:48,561
as you can see
striking similarities
465
00:26:48,729 --> 00:26:51,965
in shapes and
proportions that they share.
466
00:26:52,165 --> 00:26:54,968
As you can observe,
the influences of the ark
467
00:26:55,168 --> 00:26:56,904
are alive and well today
468
00:26:57,070 --> 00:26:59,039
and have
long-reaching implications
469
00:26:59,206 --> 00:27:01,641
in virtually
every field of science,
470
00:27:01,842 --> 00:27:04,912
including baraminology, botany,
471
00:27:05,078 --> 00:27:08,716
hydrodynamics,
anthropology, and more.
472
00:27:09,582 --> 00:27:12,585
But as compelling as
the science behind the ark is,
473
00:27:12,753 --> 00:27:14,822
we must not
forget that it is God
474
00:27:15,022 --> 00:27:17,090
who orchestrated the events.
475
00:27:17,257 --> 00:27:21,762
It was God who decided the time
to judge the world had come.
476
00:27:23,096 --> 00:27:26,166
And it was God
who was ultimately responsible
477
00:27:26,366 --> 00:27:29,469
for the deliverance of
all who were aboard the ark.
478
00:27:55,829 --> 00:27:58,531
In the second book of Peter,
479
00:27:58,732 --> 00:28:01,534
we are told
that in the last days
480
00:28:01,735 --> 00:28:04,337
before Jesus Christ returns,
481
00:28:04,504 --> 00:28:09,642
people would deliberately ignore
the evidence of the flood.
482
00:28:09,810 --> 00:28:11,478
Or as the Bible puts it,
483
00:28:11,644 --> 00:28:15,715
they would be
willingly ignorant of the flood.
484
00:28:16,817 --> 00:28:19,286
Peter tells us
that in the last days,
485
00:28:19,452 --> 00:28:21,654
men would mock the Bible
486
00:28:21,822 --> 00:28:24,157
and the second
coming of Jesus Christ,
487
00:28:24,324 --> 00:28:29,529
and instead, they would
walk after their own lusts,
488
00:28:29,696 --> 00:28:33,133
just like
they did in Noah's day.
489
00:28:35,302 --> 00:28:39,006
You see, just as Noah had faith
490
00:28:39,172 --> 00:28:42,209
to carry out God's
command to build the ark
491
00:28:42,375 --> 00:28:44,411
and just as Noah had faith
492
00:28:44,611 --> 00:28:47,915
that God would bring
them through the flood,
493
00:28:49,149 --> 00:28:53,253
so we too must have faith
494
00:28:53,453 --> 00:28:55,588
that God was perfectly capable
495
00:28:55,789 --> 00:28:58,725
of preserving Noah, his family,
496
00:28:58,892 --> 00:29:02,095
and all of
the creatures aboard the ark.
497
00:29:03,563 --> 00:29:05,765
Is it too difficult a thing
498
00:29:05,966 --> 00:29:10,703
for the God who created the
universe and everything in it
499
00:29:10,871 --> 00:29:14,374
to preserve
the life that he chooses?
500
00:29:15,708 --> 00:29:16,877
Of course not.
501
00:29:18,345 --> 00:29:21,081
So let us not be counted
502
00:29:21,248 --> 00:29:23,783
among those who Peter prophesied
503
00:29:23,984 --> 00:29:27,254
would ignore
the evidence of the flood,
504
00:29:27,420 --> 00:29:31,758
since we are
indeed living near the end.
505
00:29:34,895 --> 00:29:38,265
Instead, let us be named
506
00:29:38,431 --> 00:29:40,100
among those who believe
507
00:29:40,267 --> 00:29:43,070
in God and His word.
508
00:29:48,241 --> 00:29:50,643
The Bible says that on the day
509
00:29:50,844 --> 00:29:53,480
that the rains
of the flood began,
510
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,283
all of the animals
with the breath of life
511
00:29:56,449 --> 00:30:00,487
were onboard the ark
with Noah and his family,
512
00:30:00,687 --> 00:30:03,924
and it was God Himself
who would shut them all in
513
00:30:04,091 --> 00:30:07,327
and save them from
the coming judgment.
514
00:30:12,199 --> 00:30:13,433
The global nature of the flood
515
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,002
is given in the biblical text,
516
00:30:15,202 --> 00:30:16,803
and it's quite clear,
517
00:30:16,970 --> 00:30:19,139
especially going to the original
terms that are used.
518
00:30:19,372 --> 00:30:21,474
Term for
the flood itself is mabbul.
519
00:30:21,708 --> 00:30:24,511
The unique Hebrew word mabbul.
520
00:30:24,711 --> 00:30:27,480
It's used only one other
place in the Old Testament.
521
00:30:27,647 --> 00:30:29,516
That is in Psalm 29:10
522
00:30:29,716 --> 00:30:33,987
where it says that God
"sat as King at the flood."
523
00:30:34,154 --> 00:30:36,924
It's a very unique term
that sets this account apart
524
00:30:37,090 --> 00:30:38,691
from other types of flood.
525
00:30:38,892 --> 00:30:40,928
So this was a unique flood.
526
00:30:41,094 --> 00:30:43,130
First we could talk
about the flood itself,
527
00:30:43,296 --> 00:30:44,697
the purpose of the flood.
528
00:30:44,898 --> 00:30:46,333
Contrary to what many think,
529
00:30:46,499 --> 00:30:48,801
it was not simply
to destroy sinful man,
530
00:30:48,969 --> 00:30:51,171
but also Genesis 6 tells us
531
00:30:51,338 --> 00:30:53,640
to destroy all
the land animals and birds
532
00:30:53,806 --> 00:30:55,308
not on the ark with Noah
533
00:30:55,475 --> 00:30:57,677
and to destroy
the surface of the Earth,
534
00:30:57,844 --> 00:31:00,847
and only a global flood
would accomplish that purpose.
535
00:31:01,014 --> 00:31:03,050
Then we can talk about the ark.
536
00:31:03,250 --> 00:31:06,319
The purpose of the ark
was not to save a few animals
537
00:31:06,486 --> 00:31:09,189
so Noah could start
a farm after the flood.
538
00:31:09,356 --> 00:31:11,858
It was, as Genesis 7:3 says,
539
00:31:12,025 --> 00:31:15,162
"To keep offspring alive
on the face of all the Earth."
540
00:31:15,328 --> 00:31:18,298
And then we have the repetition
of universal terms.
541
00:31:18,465 --> 00:31:20,567
Everything that is
under the whole heaven,
542
00:31:20,767 --> 00:31:22,569
under the whole Earth,
543
00:31:22,769 --> 00:31:24,804
everything in
which is the breath of life.
544
00:31:24,972 --> 00:31:28,041
Those words appear
sixty times in Genesis 6,
545
00:31:28,208 --> 00:31:30,210
all, every, under heaven,
546
00:31:30,377 --> 00:31:32,912
and when you have
a repetition of those words,
547
00:31:33,113 --> 00:31:34,847
that is emphatic.
548
00:31:35,015 --> 00:31:37,517
Secondly, we have
the duration of the flood,
549
00:31:37,684 --> 00:31:39,886
370 days.
550
00:31:40,053 --> 00:31:42,990
Why such an extensive
flood if it was only local?
551
00:31:43,156 --> 00:31:46,059
Why that duration of the flood?
Why would it take so long
552
00:31:46,226 --> 00:31:48,495
for it to recede and dry up?
553
00:31:48,661 --> 00:31:50,930
There's no way a local flood
could last that long.
554
00:31:51,131 --> 00:31:52,699
We have the depth of the flood.
555
00:31:52,865 --> 00:31:54,501
It covered all
the high mountains
556
00:31:54,667 --> 00:31:56,036
everywhere under the heavens,
557
00:31:56,203 --> 00:31:58,705
and since water
seeks a level plane,
558
00:31:58,871 --> 00:32:00,607
it would have
to be a global flood.
559
00:32:00,807 --> 00:32:03,543
When the Scripture
says that the waters rose
560
00:32:03,710 --> 00:32:07,080
to about 24 feet
above the mountains,
561
00:32:07,247 --> 00:32:09,682
even if you give the idea
562
00:32:09,849 --> 00:32:11,884
that the mountains were
not as high as they are now,
563
00:32:12,052 --> 00:32:14,221
they were
upthrust after the flood,
564
00:32:14,387 --> 00:32:17,424
you still have water
only rising to its own level.
565
00:32:17,590 --> 00:32:19,259
If we had a local flood,
566
00:32:19,426 --> 00:32:22,129
then obviously there's
no need to build an ark.
567
00:32:22,329 --> 00:32:25,298
If the flood was
local in the Middle East,
568
00:32:25,498 --> 00:32:27,900
the ark was totally unnecessary.
569
00:32:28,068 --> 00:32:30,103
The animals didn't
need to go in there,
570
00:32:30,270 --> 00:32:32,439
and He could have
told Noah and his family
571
00:32:32,605 --> 00:32:34,941
to go on
a vacation to Europe or Egypt.
572
00:32:35,108 --> 00:32:37,977
Noah and his family could
have walked to a safer place.
573
00:32:38,178 --> 00:32:40,647
And then why an ark at all?
574
00:32:40,847 --> 00:32:42,915
Why such a large ark?
575
00:32:43,083 --> 00:32:44,751
Why all the animals?
Why the birds?
576
00:32:44,917 --> 00:32:46,619
The birds could fly away.
577
00:32:46,786 --> 00:32:49,056
Animals, there are animals
in other places after all
578
00:32:49,222 --> 00:32:50,457
if it's a local flood.
579
00:32:51,124 --> 00:32:53,760
Just this whole idea of
everything included in the ark
580
00:32:53,926 --> 00:32:55,962
by the two of each kind
581
00:32:56,129 --> 00:32:59,599
means you were trying
to preserve all of life at
that point.
582
00:32:59,766 --> 00:33:02,269
Only a global flood
fits the purpose of the ark.
583
00:33:02,435 --> 00:33:04,137
Then we could
talk about the volume.
584
00:33:04,304 --> 00:33:08,175
It was way too big if
it was just a local flood.
585
00:33:08,375 --> 00:33:11,244
You also have
the very theological concept
586
00:33:11,411 --> 00:33:13,080
that if you had men elsewhere
587
00:33:13,246 --> 00:33:15,982
who were not part of
the judgment of the flood,
588
00:33:16,149 --> 00:33:19,286
then the whole idea
of a judgment on mankind
589
00:33:19,452 --> 00:33:23,323
for corruption of the Earth
would make no sense whatsoever.
590
00:33:23,490 --> 00:33:25,658
God says, "I've
seen the wickedness of man
591
00:33:25,825 --> 00:33:27,827
that's great on the Earth."
592
00:33:27,994 --> 00:33:29,862
Not just in one local
place but on the Earth.
593
00:33:30,063 --> 00:33:31,498
When we come
to the New Testament,
594
00:33:31,664 --> 00:33:34,667
you have
a passage like 2 Peter 3:5-7.
595
00:33:35,735 --> 00:33:38,938
It compares a flood that
destroyed the world that was
596
00:33:39,106 --> 00:33:42,375
with a future
judgment on a coming world
597
00:33:42,575 --> 00:33:44,277
or the world that now is.
598
00:33:44,444 --> 00:33:47,980
If you had a local
judgment in the past,
599
00:33:48,148 --> 00:33:49,982
you'd have to have
a local judgment in the future,
600
00:33:50,150 --> 00:33:53,186
but, of course, this is the
second coming of Jesus Christ
601
00:33:53,353 --> 00:33:54,721
to judge His world,
602
00:33:54,921 --> 00:33:56,356
and it has to be universal.
603
00:33:56,523 --> 00:33:58,024
Well, if the flood
was just a local event,
604
00:33:58,191 --> 00:33:59,692
then what do you think?
605
00:33:59,859 --> 00:34:01,828
Maybe when Jesus
returns, just a local event?
606
00:34:01,994 --> 00:34:05,198
Oh, no, it's gonna be
a worldwide judgment as well.
607
00:34:05,365 --> 00:34:06,799
And I would add one last thing,
608
00:34:06,966 --> 00:34:09,836
and that is we can't
find the Garden of Eden.
609
00:34:10,002 --> 00:34:12,004
People look at the description
610
00:34:12,172 --> 00:34:16,343
of the geography where the
Garden of Eden was in Genesis 2.
611
00:34:16,509 --> 00:34:18,345
The reason we can't
find the Garden of Eden
612
00:34:18,511 --> 00:34:22,014
is because the pre-flood
world was completely destroyed.
613
00:34:22,182 --> 00:34:25,552
It is now buried
under thousands of feet
614
00:34:25,718 --> 00:34:28,588
of sedimentary deposits.
615
00:34:28,788 --> 00:34:31,891
So the flood was
not a local flood.
616
00:34:41,234 --> 00:34:43,436
The Bible tells us
617
00:34:43,636 --> 00:34:45,838
that God looked
upon His creation,
618
00:34:47,874 --> 00:34:48,841
"and behold,
619
00:34:49,876 --> 00:34:51,911
it was all corrupt,
620
00:34:54,414 --> 00:34:58,751
for all flesh had corrupted
his way upon the Earth."
621
00:35:03,423 --> 00:35:06,759
Judgment day had finally come.
622
00:37:30,670 --> 00:37:32,171
God said,
623
00:37:32,839 --> 00:37:34,407
"And behold,
624
00:37:34,574 --> 00:37:36,776
I, even I,
625
00:37:38,511 --> 00:37:42,248
do bring a flood
of waters upon the Earth
626
00:37:42,415 --> 00:37:45,284
to destroy all flesh
627
00:37:46,753 --> 00:37:49,856
wherein is the breath of life
628
00:37:50,022 --> 00:37:51,090
from under heaven,
629
00:37:52,659 --> 00:37:55,362
and everything
that is on the Earth
630
00:37:57,096 --> 00:37:58,064
shall die."
631
00:38:03,736 --> 00:38:07,940
Every non-flood
geologist on our planet
632
00:38:08,107 --> 00:38:11,077
believes that the planet
Mars had a global flood.
633
00:38:11,243 --> 00:38:13,413
Creationists do
believe, like the unbelievers,
634
00:38:13,580 --> 00:38:15,448
like the secular
geologists believe,
635
00:38:15,615 --> 00:38:17,249
Mars did have a flood.
636
00:38:17,417 --> 00:38:19,419
We think it happened
the same time our flood did.
637
00:38:19,586 --> 00:38:21,888
Maybe an asteroid storm
638
00:38:22,054 --> 00:38:24,256
hitting the inner
planets, the rocky planets.
639
00:38:24,424 --> 00:38:26,759
Here on our planet,
we're now currently covered
640
00:38:26,926 --> 00:38:29,762
70% with water two miles deep,
641
00:38:29,929 --> 00:38:33,165
and they can't buy
that we once had a flood?
642
00:38:33,366 --> 00:38:34,934
It's very, very
easy for them to believe
643
00:38:35,101 --> 00:38:36,569
that Mars had a global flood,
644
00:38:36,736 --> 00:38:38,438
but for some
reason, they can't accept
645
00:38:38,605 --> 00:38:40,339
there's plenty of
evidence that we've had a flood.
646
00:38:40,540 --> 00:38:43,476
Where did all the water
come from for the flood?
647
00:38:43,643 --> 00:38:45,412
I mean, where did it come
from and where did it go?
648
00:38:45,578 --> 00:38:47,814
Well, look at the globe.
649
00:38:47,980 --> 00:38:51,250
We're 3/4 covered with
water two miles deep now.
650
00:38:51,418 --> 00:38:52,985
It's all still here.
651
00:38:53,152 --> 00:38:54,654
The most asked questions are
652
00:38:54,821 --> 00:38:56,589
where did the water
come from for the flood
653
00:38:56,756 --> 00:38:57,857
and where did it go?
654
00:38:58,257 --> 00:39:00,960
And the answer
is easily explained
655
00:39:01,127 --> 00:39:03,430
in the model of
catastrophic plate tectonics.
656
00:39:03,596 --> 00:39:06,833
The process of
catastrophic plate tectonics
657
00:39:06,999 --> 00:39:10,837
is very similar
to conventional plate tectonics.
658
00:39:11,003 --> 00:39:13,673
The main difference
is the speed or the rate
659
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:15,875
at which these processes unfold.
660
00:39:16,075 --> 00:39:19,211
Today, the plates
are moving about
661
00:39:19,412 --> 00:39:21,681
a few inches per year.
662
00:39:21,848 --> 00:39:23,382
However, during the flood,
663
00:39:23,583 --> 00:39:25,485
a billion times faster.
664
00:39:25,652 --> 00:39:29,055
When the flood began,
it began with these fountains
665
00:39:29,255 --> 00:39:31,223
on the bottom of the deep ocean.
666
00:39:31,424 --> 00:39:33,826
Where the Bible even says,
"the fountains of
the great deep
667
00:39:33,993 --> 00:39:35,562
were opened up."
668
00:39:35,762 --> 00:39:39,031
The mid-ocean ridge
is 44,000 miles long.
669
00:39:39,198 --> 00:39:40,700
Most of it is underwater.
670
00:39:40,867 --> 00:39:42,201
That's why they call
it the mid-ocean ridge.
671
00:39:42,368 --> 00:39:44,471
And if it all
erupted at the same time,
672
00:39:44,637 --> 00:39:48,140
it would have made
the ocean floor do this, wom,
673
00:39:48,307 --> 00:39:51,210
and then, phooh, the mid-ocean
ridge would have erupted
674
00:39:51,377 --> 00:39:53,480
all around the world
at the same time roughly,
675
00:39:53,646 --> 00:39:55,181
but that first phase, wom,
676
00:39:55,347 --> 00:39:59,318
would've caused sea level
to rise a mile, plou.
677
00:39:59,486 --> 00:40:01,821
Then this tidal wave coming out
678
00:40:01,988 --> 00:40:04,924
from that sudden rise at
the ocean floor in the middle
679
00:40:05,124 --> 00:40:07,393
headed towards the continents.
680
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,829
Now that would have been
the phase one of the flood.
681
00:40:09,996 --> 00:40:11,564
The second phase
of the flood, it says,
682
00:40:11,731 --> 00:40:14,567
was when "the windows
of heaven were opened."
683
00:40:14,734 --> 00:40:16,435
It's no accident
684
00:40:16,636 --> 00:40:19,171
that there's an order
given there in the Scriptures.
685
00:40:19,338 --> 00:40:20,940
"The fountains of
the deep broke open."
686
00:40:21,140 --> 00:40:22,775
That is the crust breaking open,
687
00:40:22,975 --> 00:40:26,245
the water shooting up,
the supersonic steam jets,
688
00:40:26,412 --> 00:40:28,014
and carrying
that ocean water up.
689
00:40:28,180 --> 00:40:31,383
Then it fell as
global torrential rainfall.
690
00:40:31,551 --> 00:40:32,852
People all know that the flood
691
00:40:33,019 --> 00:40:34,787
was 40 days and
40 nights of rain,
692
00:40:34,987 --> 00:40:39,091
but the waters prevailed
upon the Earth for 150 days.
693
00:40:39,258 --> 00:40:41,393
When "the fountains of
the great deep broke open,"
694
00:40:41,561 --> 00:40:43,362
as the Bible describes,
695
00:40:43,530 --> 00:40:45,431
that's the description
of the fracturing
696
00:40:45,598 --> 00:40:47,266
of the pre-flood crust.
697
00:40:47,433 --> 00:40:49,068
You've got molten material
698
00:40:49,235 --> 00:40:51,437
that's expanding
as it solidifies.
699
00:40:51,604 --> 00:40:53,105
The new ocean floor expanded.
700
00:40:53,272 --> 00:40:55,207
That pushed up sea level.
701
00:40:55,374 --> 00:40:58,611
That means that the ocean
floor is actually gonna rise.
702
00:40:58,778 --> 00:41:01,447
The ocean waters rose
up to cover the continents.
703
00:41:01,614 --> 00:41:04,917
The new ocean floor
cooled and it shrank,
704
00:41:05,084 --> 00:41:07,587
and therefore, sea level fell,
705
00:41:07,754 --> 00:41:09,589
and the ocean
waters drained off.
706
00:41:09,756 --> 00:41:11,958
The floodwaters
are still present
707
00:41:12,124 --> 00:41:13,626
on the Earth's surface today.
708
00:41:13,793 --> 00:41:16,563
They went into
the new ocean basins
709
00:41:16,729 --> 00:41:19,298
that were produced as
a consequence of the flood.
710
00:41:19,465 --> 00:41:22,735
In fact, the Earth is
still 70% covered in water.
711
00:41:22,902 --> 00:41:24,671
Yeah, the water's still here.
712
00:41:24,871 --> 00:41:26,272
It's deep in those trenches.
713
00:41:26,438 --> 00:41:27,607
Some of the trenches are 8;
714
00:41:27,774 --> 00:41:30,242
now we find out 10 miles deep.
715
00:41:30,409 --> 00:41:35,314
If we had lower land formations
and a higher ocean floor,
716
00:41:35,481 --> 00:41:38,417
we would probably
be a water planet today
717
00:41:38,585 --> 00:41:41,320
with no land surface.
718
00:41:41,487 --> 00:41:43,255
And it's scraping
the bottom of the barrel
719
00:41:43,422 --> 00:41:45,792
to try to say where
did all the water go.
720
00:41:45,958 --> 00:41:47,794
It's still here and
it's very easy to explain
721
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,797
that the same water, mostly,
the same water that's here
722
00:41:50,963 --> 00:41:53,332
would have been adequate
to have flooded
the Earth at one time
723
00:41:53,499 --> 00:41:54,967
and that the situation
has changed
724
00:41:55,134 --> 00:41:56,703
so that water is
now in deeper basins.
725
00:41:56,903 --> 00:41:59,171
Not a problem in
the flood model at all.
726
00:42:00,607 --> 00:42:01,808
We're all familiar
727
00:42:01,974 --> 00:42:04,276
with the theory about Pangaea,
728
00:42:04,443 --> 00:42:06,846
which holds that the continents
were once connected
729
00:42:07,013 --> 00:42:09,782
to form a supercontinent
that later broke apart
730
00:42:09,949 --> 00:42:12,952
through a process
called plate tectonics.
731
00:42:13,119 --> 00:42:16,355
Catastrophic plate tectonics
is essentially the same idea
732
00:42:16,522 --> 00:42:18,625
as conventional plate tectonics,
733
00:42:18,791 --> 00:42:21,293
except that the timeline
and events
734
00:42:21,460 --> 00:42:23,863
are all centered
around the year of the flood
735
00:42:24,030 --> 00:42:27,499
instead of millions of
years of slow processes.
736
00:42:27,667 --> 00:42:29,468
You may be surprised
737
00:42:29,636 --> 00:42:32,672
to learn that it was
a man named Abraham Ortelius,
738
00:42:32,839 --> 00:42:35,307
a famous
cartographer from the 1500s,
739
00:42:35,474 --> 00:42:37,677
who first proposed the idea
740
00:42:37,844 --> 00:42:41,180
that the flood of Noah
may have been responsible
741
00:42:41,347 --> 00:42:45,217
for tearing apart the Americas
from Europe and Africa.
742
00:42:45,384 --> 00:42:47,253
Hundreds of years later,
743
00:42:47,453 --> 00:42:51,223
another Christian by the name
of Antonio Snider-Pellegrini
744
00:42:51,390 --> 00:42:52,859
would first theorize
745
00:42:53,025 --> 00:42:56,228
the modern concept
of continental drift,
746
00:42:56,395 --> 00:42:58,765
in which he illustrated two maps
747
00:42:58,965 --> 00:43:00,933
depicting
the continents of the world
748
00:43:01,133 --> 00:43:03,169
as once joined together.
749
00:43:04,070 --> 00:43:08,274
This was decades before
German geologist Alfred Wegener
750
00:43:08,474 --> 00:43:10,943
would propose
his own version of the theory,
751
00:43:11,143 --> 00:43:12,879
known today as Pangaea,
752
00:43:13,045 --> 00:43:17,249
and be erroneously dubbed
the father of continental drift.
753
00:43:18,584 --> 00:43:22,254
Antonio was snubbed
of this honorary title.
754
00:43:22,421 --> 00:43:26,859
His crime was
citing the book of Genesis,
755
00:43:27,026 --> 00:43:29,561
in which he said
he made the discovery
756
00:43:29,729 --> 00:43:31,898
that at
the beginning of creation,
757
00:43:32,064 --> 00:43:33,933
there is only one continent.
758
00:43:34,100 --> 00:43:36,402
You see, the book of Genesis
759
00:43:36,568 --> 00:43:39,706
laid out exactly
what happened to the Earth
760
00:43:39,872 --> 00:43:41,774
in the past during the flood,
761
00:43:41,941 --> 00:43:43,910
starting with
what the Bible calls
762
00:43:44,076 --> 00:43:47,246
"the fountains of
the great deep opening."
763
00:43:47,413 --> 00:43:50,082
It wouldn't be until the 1950s
764
00:43:50,249 --> 00:43:52,451
that technology
initially developed
765
00:43:52,618 --> 00:43:54,721
to detect submarines underwater
766
00:43:54,887 --> 00:43:57,824
would stumble
across these gigantic scars
767
00:43:58,024 --> 00:44:02,061
from the fountains of the great
deep that had split open
768
00:44:02,228 --> 00:44:05,497
exactly as
the Bible had described.
769
00:44:06,532 --> 00:44:09,668
How did a book
thousands of years old
770
00:44:09,869 --> 00:44:14,173
know exactly what was at
the bottom of the ocean floor?
771
00:44:14,907 --> 00:44:16,809
The Bible says that first
772
00:44:16,976 --> 00:44:20,446
these giant
subterranean rifts broke open,
773
00:44:20,612 --> 00:44:22,248
piercing the Earth's crust,
774
00:44:22,414 --> 00:44:24,751
spewing magma
that created steam jets
775
00:44:24,917 --> 00:44:26,585
that shot up into the sky.
776
00:44:27,453 --> 00:44:29,355
Then the book of Genesis says
777
00:44:29,555 --> 00:44:32,024
that the waters
poured down as torrential rain
778
00:44:32,224 --> 00:44:35,461
through the windows of
heaven that were opened up
779
00:44:35,627 --> 00:44:39,766
and that the rain
lasted 40 days and 40 nights.
780
00:44:39,932 --> 00:44:43,335
The supercontinent that the book
of Genesis described
781
00:44:43,502 --> 00:44:46,538
is now beginning to break apart.
782
00:44:46,739 --> 00:44:50,276
At first, the newly partitioned
continents oscillate,
783
00:44:50,442 --> 00:44:52,144
slamming into each other
784
00:44:52,311 --> 00:44:55,114
before starting their ultimate
journey of separation.
785
00:44:55,982 --> 00:44:59,852
This closes seaways and
forms volcanoes and mountains
786
00:45:00,019 --> 00:45:02,154
in the Americas and Europe,
787
00:45:02,321 --> 00:45:06,292
such as the Appalachian
and Caledonian ranges.
788
00:45:06,458 --> 00:45:09,862
The seafloor spreads,
forming from molten magma,
789
00:45:10,029 --> 00:45:13,399
widening the separation
between the new continents.
790
00:45:13,599 --> 00:45:15,234
Scientists will later discover
791
00:45:15,434 --> 00:45:18,137
that the seafloor at
the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
792
00:45:18,304 --> 00:45:20,139
is much younger
than the seafloor
793
00:45:20,306 --> 00:45:22,174
in other parts of the world,
794
00:45:22,341 --> 00:45:24,710
exactly as the Bible suggests.
795
00:45:26,112 --> 00:45:29,481
As this newly
emerging volcanic floor spreads,
796
00:45:29,648 --> 00:45:33,685
it subducts under
the west coast of North America,
797
00:45:33,853 --> 00:45:35,321
binding and releasing,
798
00:45:35,487 --> 00:45:37,356
causing massive tsunamis
799
00:45:37,523 --> 00:45:40,192
carrying mud
mixed with sea creatures,
800
00:45:40,359 --> 00:45:42,829
totally overwhelming the land.
801
00:45:42,995 --> 00:45:45,764
As what's known as
the Conjugate Shatsky Rise
802
00:45:45,965 --> 00:45:47,934
pushes up during the subduction,
803
00:45:48,134 --> 00:45:50,602
the Rocky Mountains
also began to form,
804
00:45:50,803 --> 00:45:53,439
along with
the Independence Dike Swarm,
805
00:45:53,639 --> 00:45:57,910
a 400-mile long
volcanic region that billows ash
806
00:45:58,077 --> 00:46:00,079
that covers half of America.
807
00:46:00,246 --> 00:46:03,182
As the Western Interior Seaway
emerges during this time,
808
00:46:03,349 --> 00:46:05,784
the last of
the dinosaurs are flooded,
809
00:46:05,985 --> 00:46:08,020
mixed together with sea life,
810
00:46:08,187 --> 00:46:11,290
and are buried
in mud, sand, and ash
811
00:46:11,490 --> 00:46:13,092
in the middle of America.
812
00:46:14,426 --> 00:46:17,964
As we near the end of the flood,
activity begins to cease
813
00:46:18,164 --> 00:46:21,300
as the seafloor stops
spreading and begins to cool.
814
00:46:22,734 --> 00:46:25,872
As the new massive
ocean floors cool and retract,
815
00:46:26,038 --> 00:46:29,741
the waters reverse back
down into the new ocean basins
816
00:46:29,909 --> 00:46:32,378
and recede as much as a mile.
817
00:46:34,346 --> 00:46:37,984
All over the Earth, trillions
of fossils are left behind
818
00:46:38,184 --> 00:46:40,052
as incredible evidence
819
00:46:40,219 --> 00:46:43,489
of the worldwide
catastrophic flood.
820
00:46:48,027 --> 00:46:51,898
The most compelling
evidence for a global flood
821
00:46:52,064 --> 00:46:54,934
is the sediment record itself.
822
00:46:55,101 --> 00:46:57,669
All over the Earth,
what's under your feet?
823
00:46:57,870 --> 00:47:01,340
Hundreds of
distinct horizontal layers
824
00:47:01,540 --> 00:47:06,012
generally with smooth
interfaces between the layers.
825
00:47:06,212 --> 00:47:08,780
The only way that such a record
826
00:47:08,948 --> 00:47:11,250
could have come into existence
827
00:47:11,417 --> 00:47:15,587
is global-scale processes
producing the whole record
828
00:47:15,754 --> 00:47:18,524
in a single global event.
829
00:47:18,724 --> 00:47:21,961
All over the world,
the layers are flat,
830
00:47:22,828 --> 00:47:24,330
and there's no
river channels in them.
831
00:47:24,496 --> 00:47:26,365
Think about what
you see at the Grand Canyon.
832
00:47:26,565 --> 00:47:29,135
You see these flat
pancakes, one on top of another,
833
00:47:29,301 --> 00:47:31,003
just flat, flat, flat, flat.
834
00:47:31,170 --> 00:47:33,539
They're basically erosionless.
835
00:47:33,739 --> 00:47:35,041
Here's how they formed.
836
00:47:35,241 --> 00:47:36,842
At the beginning of the flood,
837
00:47:37,009 --> 00:47:38,544
there was
movements of the crust.
838
00:47:38,744 --> 00:47:40,846
Crustal movements
actually cause earthquakes.
839
00:47:41,013 --> 00:47:44,183
Earthquakes in
water cause tsunamis.
840
00:47:44,350 --> 00:47:48,554
The tsunamis then
originating from the ocean areas
841
00:47:48,754 --> 00:47:50,822
would then race
across the continents.
842
00:47:50,990 --> 00:47:53,492
Once the tsunami lost its power,
843
00:47:53,659 --> 00:47:56,963
the sediment would
settle down out of the water
844
00:47:57,129 --> 00:47:59,398
and form a flat layer
at the bottom.
845
00:47:59,598 --> 00:48:00,832
That's the first layer.
846
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,568
Then another earthquake
847
00:48:02,768 --> 00:48:05,471
in a different part
of the world sets off a tsunami,
848
00:48:05,637 --> 00:48:07,373
maybe a week
later, maybe a day later,
849
00:48:07,539 --> 00:48:09,241
brings in a different sediment.
850
00:48:09,441 --> 00:48:11,710
The tsunami runs out
of power in this area.
851
00:48:11,877 --> 00:48:14,880
The sediments in
the water settle to the bottom
852
00:48:15,047 --> 00:48:16,682
and form another flat layer.
853
00:48:16,848 --> 00:48:18,050
There's no erosion.
854
00:48:18,217 --> 00:48:19,685
Again, you have a third tsunami
855
00:48:19,851 --> 00:48:22,421
bringing in these
sediments, third layer.
856
00:48:22,621 --> 00:48:24,356
My simulations indicate
857
00:48:24,523 --> 00:48:26,492
that these
tsunamis were large enough
858
00:48:26,658 --> 00:48:28,194
for a single tsunami
859
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,030
to sweep all
the way across a continent.
860
00:48:31,197 --> 00:48:33,432
These layers
were formed underwater.
861
00:48:33,632 --> 00:48:36,035
That's why they were so
confusing to so many people.
862
00:48:36,202 --> 00:48:39,205
It's fascinating
to see the evolution scientists
863
00:48:39,371 --> 00:48:40,772
explain their dig sites.
864
00:48:40,973 --> 00:48:43,342
For example,
at Dinosaur Provincial Park,
865
00:48:43,509 --> 00:48:46,845
they have
10,000 dinosaurs buried
866
00:48:47,013 --> 00:48:48,347
in this flat layer.
867
00:48:48,514 --> 00:48:50,782
And you ask
the site paleontologist,
868
00:48:50,983 --> 00:48:53,352
"Well, how did
these 10,000 dinosaurs
869
00:48:53,519 --> 00:48:54,920
get in this flat layer?"
870
00:48:55,087 --> 00:48:57,589
"Well, they died
in a river in flood."
871
00:48:57,756 --> 00:49:00,526
"Oh, what was
the shape of the river bottom?"
872
00:49:00,692 --> 00:49:02,128
"It was a flat river bottom."
873
00:49:02,328 --> 00:49:04,563
So you're saying this
river that was so strong
874
00:49:04,730 --> 00:49:07,566
that could bury 10,000
dinosaurs over five miles wide,
875
00:49:07,733 --> 00:49:09,301
which would be a raging river,
876
00:49:09,501 --> 00:49:12,738
wasn't strong enough
to cause an erosion channel?
877
00:49:12,904 --> 00:49:15,807
Why isn't there a river
cut from this river channel?
878
00:49:16,008 --> 00:49:17,643
Why isn't there
erosion from that river?
879
00:49:17,843 --> 00:49:20,279
The answers make no sense
880
00:49:20,446 --> 00:49:24,416
in light of this flat problem,
the erosionless problem.
881
00:49:24,583 --> 00:49:26,218
What we see at the Grand Canyon
882
00:49:26,385 --> 00:49:30,956
is that the layers got
bent at the edge of the plateau.
883
00:49:31,123 --> 00:49:33,292
Because the folding was smooth
884
00:49:33,459 --> 00:49:35,594
when the sediments
were still soft,
885
00:49:35,761 --> 00:49:39,398
the whole sequence had to be
formed rapidly during the flood
886
00:49:40,266 --> 00:49:43,102
and then bent
at the end of the flood
while they were still wet,
887
00:49:43,269 --> 00:49:47,106
and so these folds
are very strategic evidence
888
00:49:47,273 --> 00:49:49,108
tying together all the layers,
889
00:49:49,275 --> 00:49:51,310
and it emphatically demonstrates
890
00:49:51,477 --> 00:49:53,412
that the millions
of years never happened.
891
00:49:53,579 --> 00:49:55,114
Or the fact that you have
892
00:49:55,281 --> 00:49:57,083
what are called
polystrate fossils.
893
00:49:57,249 --> 00:49:59,918
They're usually trees that go
through more than one layer.
894
00:50:00,086 --> 00:50:04,190
These trees have
three layers that are supposedly
895
00:50:04,390 --> 00:50:06,958
30 million years
worth of rock around them.
896
00:50:07,126 --> 00:50:08,694
You know that if
you start accumulating
897
00:50:08,894 --> 00:50:10,362
sediment around the bottom,
898
00:50:10,562 --> 00:50:13,031
that sediment would
eat away at the bark,
899
00:50:13,232 --> 00:50:15,601
the bark would rot, and
the tree would die even sooner,
900
00:50:15,767 --> 00:50:18,604
would fall over even
less than a hundred years.
901
00:50:18,770 --> 00:50:21,039
But here we have trees,
902
00:50:21,240 --> 00:50:24,276
vertical,
fossilized, with three layers.
903
00:50:24,443 --> 00:50:27,179
In the worldwide
flood, trees were swept up,
904
00:50:27,346 --> 00:50:29,481
and they were
floating on the top.
905
00:50:29,648 --> 00:50:32,818
Now eventually,
the trees became waterlogged
906
00:50:32,984 --> 00:50:34,220
and sank to the bottom.
907
00:50:34,420 --> 00:50:37,889
Now trees
normally sink horizontal,
908
00:50:38,090 --> 00:50:41,327
but some trees, as
discovered by Dr. Steve Austin,
909
00:50:41,493 --> 00:50:44,330
when they sink,
they sink vertically.
910
00:50:44,496 --> 00:50:46,865
If a tsunami wave comes,
911
00:50:47,032 --> 00:50:49,301
and there was a lot of
tsunami waves during the flood,
912
00:50:49,468 --> 00:50:50,969
and brings in sediment,
913
00:50:51,137 --> 00:50:54,806
when the tsunami
wave loses power,
914
00:50:54,973 --> 00:50:57,409
the sediment in the wave settles
915
00:50:57,609 --> 00:50:59,678
into a flat layer at the bottom.
916
00:50:59,845 --> 00:51:01,580
Maybe a week
later or a day later,
917
00:51:01,780 --> 00:51:04,350
another tsunami wave comes
in from a different direction.
918
00:51:04,516 --> 00:51:06,652
When the tsunami
wave loses its power,
919
00:51:06,818 --> 00:51:08,420
the sediment begins to fall,
920
00:51:08,620 --> 00:51:12,191
and now it forms a second
layer on top of the first
921
00:51:12,358 --> 00:51:15,060
amongst this vertical
tree that hadn't fossilized yet.
922
00:51:15,227 --> 00:51:18,029
Now if that tree could be buried
923
00:51:18,197 --> 00:51:21,533
with 30 feet of
sediment in just, say, a week,
924
00:51:21,700 --> 00:51:23,369
you could easily accumulate
925
00:51:23,535 --> 00:51:27,539
the entire Grand Canyon
stacked layers in a year's time.
926
00:51:27,706 --> 00:51:32,178
It is the explanation
that defeats the evolution time,
927
00:51:32,344 --> 00:51:34,413
and it actually
defeats the theory of evolution.
928
00:51:34,580 --> 00:51:38,016
This is the single most
important geological fact,
929
00:51:38,184 --> 00:51:41,187
and nobody seems
to teach this in college
930
00:51:41,353 --> 00:51:42,788
or in the evolution world.
931
00:51:43,689 --> 00:51:45,224
Evolutionists claim
932
00:51:45,391 --> 00:51:48,126
that the Earth is
millions of years old,
933
00:51:48,327 --> 00:51:50,262
and one of
their so-called proofs
934
00:51:50,429 --> 00:51:54,800
are stratified rock layers found
within the geologic column.
935
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,436
Evolutionists
teach that each layer
936
00:51:57,603 --> 00:52:00,706
represents millions
of years of rock formation
937
00:52:00,872 --> 00:52:03,542
based upon
their uniformitarian view
938
00:52:03,709 --> 00:52:05,977
that says you can make
assumptions about the past
939
00:52:06,178 --> 00:52:08,146
based upon processes today.
940
00:52:08,347 --> 00:52:10,316
But in doing so, you're assuming
941
00:52:10,516 --> 00:52:14,119
that there were no catastrophic
events, like a global flood.
942
00:52:14,286 --> 00:52:16,488
Evolutionists also ignore
943
00:52:16,688 --> 00:52:19,825
the flood evidence contained
within these rock layers,
944
00:52:20,025 --> 00:52:24,162
like sea creatures mixed
together with land creatures.
945
00:52:24,363 --> 00:52:26,332
Just ask any coal miner.
946
00:52:26,532 --> 00:52:27,999
Anywhere on Earth they dig,
947
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,436
they find countless sea
creatures
948
00:52:30,602 --> 00:52:33,004
embedded into the rock.
949
00:52:33,205 --> 00:52:36,174
You see, the Bible
refutes evolution theory,
950
00:52:36,375 --> 00:52:39,745
stating that it has
only been roughly 6,000 years
951
00:52:39,911 --> 00:52:41,513
since the beginning of creation,
952
00:52:41,713 --> 00:52:43,114
giving the true account
953
00:52:43,282 --> 00:52:45,851
of how the sedimentary
layers formed,
954
00:52:46,051 --> 00:52:51,022
as sedimentary rock is
rock that is formed in water,
955
00:52:51,223 --> 00:52:55,261
which is also incredible
testimony of a worldwide flood.
956
00:52:55,427 --> 00:52:57,329
Given that the Earth's surface
957
00:52:57,496 --> 00:53:01,767
is made up mostly of
water-formed sedimentary
rock layers,
958
00:53:01,933 --> 00:53:05,471
the fact that the layers
were actually formed in water
959
00:53:05,637 --> 00:53:09,808
also explains why there
is no erosion
found in between the layers,
960
00:53:09,975 --> 00:53:14,513
as there would be
if the layers took
millions of years to form.
961
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:18,149
Then there's the issue
of bended and folded rock,
962
00:53:18,317 --> 00:53:21,553
which could only occur
if the layers were pliable
963
00:53:21,753 --> 00:53:23,889
and soft at
the time of the bending,
964
00:53:24,089 --> 00:53:27,993
which is exactly what
a global flood would cause.
965
00:53:28,159 --> 00:53:32,398
The bent layers also prove
that their formation was rapid
966
00:53:32,598 --> 00:53:36,134
with multiple layers forming
rapidly on top of each other
967
00:53:36,302 --> 00:53:37,736
because the bottom layers
968
00:53:37,936 --> 00:53:40,639
would still have
to be saturated with water
969
00:53:40,806 --> 00:53:43,375
and didn't have
enough time to dry out.
970
00:53:43,542 --> 00:53:45,577
As forces acted upon the layers,
971
00:53:45,777 --> 00:53:49,681
they bent in
unison from top to bottom.
972
00:53:49,848 --> 00:53:53,652
Claiming these layers folded
together over millions of years
973
00:53:53,819 --> 00:53:55,253
while still forming
974
00:53:55,454 --> 00:53:59,224
cannot explain what
geologists are observing.
975
00:53:59,391 --> 00:54:03,929
Only underwater rapid burial
could explain these phenomena,
976
00:54:04,129 --> 00:54:06,765
remembering
that sedimentary rock layers,
977
00:54:06,965 --> 00:54:08,266
of which these are,
978
00:54:08,467 --> 00:54:11,403
are formed in
water in the first place.
979
00:54:13,539 --> 00:54:15,907
To further prove
that these rock layers
980
00:54:16,074 --> 00:54:18,243
were formed
quickly and in the flood
981
00:54:18,410 --> 00:54:21,780
is the fact that in countless
places around the world,
982
00:54:21,980 --> 00:54:24,350
we find polystrate trees,
983
00:54:24,516 --> 00:54:26,017
"poly" meaning many
984
00:54:26,184 --> 00:54:28,286
and "strate" referring
to the multiple layers
985
00:54:28,487 --> 00:54:30,255
that these trees
are running through.
986
00:54:30,422 --> 00:54:31,790
If you understand anything
987
00:54:31,990 --> 00:54:34,192
about how
organic matter decomposes,
988
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:36,428
you'll know that it's impossible
989
00:54:36,595 --> 00:54:39,565
for trees to remain
intact for millions of years
990
00:54:39,731 --> 00:54:43,535
while layers of dirt and
debris slowly piled around them
991
00:54:43,702 --> 00:54:46,605
and rain and
moisture rot the wood out.
992
00:54:47,939 --> 00:54:50,376
Instead, what the evidence shows
993
00:54:50,542 --> 00:54:54,546
is that trees were swept
up in the flood and carried off,
994
00:54:54,713 --> 00:54:58,249
and as they became
more waterlogged, they sank.
995
00:54:58,417 --> 00:55:00,151
Some trees would sink uniformly
996
00:55:00,352 --> 00:55:04,055
while other trees
contained more water saturation
997
00:55:04,222 --> 00:55:07,125
in what was left
of their bottom roots.
998
00:55:07,292 --> 00:55:09,395
These trees
would be bottom-heavy
999
00:55:09,561 --> 00:55:12,764
and float down
to the floor but rest upright.
1000
00:55:12,931 --> 00:55:15,634
Tsunami waves
would carry in sediments
1001
00:55:15,801 --> 00:55:19,304
that would bury the trees
quickly in multiple layers.
1002
00:55:19,471 --> 00:55:21,306
In fact, geologists discovered
1003
00:55:21,473 --> 00:55:24,610
that the same sand from
the eastern side of America
1004
00:55:24,776 --> 00:55:27,012
had been
carried in tsunami waves
1005
00:55:27,212 --> 00:55:29,515
all the way to the west
side of the continent.
1006
00:55:29,715 --> 00:55:31,417
This explains
how the rock layers
1007
00:55:31,583 --> 00:55:34,820
contain fossils of sea creatures
mixed in with land plants,
1008
00:55:34,986 --> 00:55:36,622
and it also explains
1009
00:55:36,788 --> 00:55:39,357
why the trees are
missing their root systems,
1010
00:55:39,558 --> 00:55:42,193
and most importantly,
why the trees are found
1011
00:55:42,394 --> 00:55:44,796
running straight
through multiple rock layers
1012
00:55:44,963 --> 00:55:48,700
that evolutionists are claiming
are millions of years old.
1013
00:55:48,900 --> 00:55:51,637
Let's also not forget
that some of these layers
1014
00:55:51,803 --> 00:55:53,472
are the size of continents,
1015
00:55:53,639 --> 00:55:57,175
indicating that these
trees and rocks were laid down
1016
00:55:57,342 --> 00:55:59,978
in a single and
catastrophic event
1017
00:56:00,145 --> 00:56:03,181
and not local
floods at different times.
1018
00:56:03,348 --> 00:56:05,451
Today, we assume that fossils
1019
00:56:05,617 --> 00:56:07,786
are a normal part
of the cycle of life
1020
00:56:07,953 --> 00:56:10,288
since we see so many
of them all over the world.
1021
00:56:10,456 --> 00:56:13,358
Yet fossilization is
not what we observe at all
1022
00:56:13,525 --> 00:56:15,160
when something dies today.
1023
00:56:15,326 --> 00:56:18,630
Thankfully, dead
matter does not fossilize today
1024
00:56:18,797 --> 00:56:20,231
under normal conditions,
1025
00:56:20,432 --> 00:56:22,668
but instead,
God made dead matter
1026
00:56:22,834 --> 00:56:25,170
to break down and
return to the Earth.
1027
00:56:25,336 --> 00:56:28,474
The fact that we see
so many fossils indicates
1028
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:30,542
that there was a worldwide event
1029
00:56:30,709 --> 00:56:35,046
that caused mass fossilization
of all life on Earth
1030
00:56:35,213 --> 00:56:36,648
at one point in time.
1031
00:56:36,815 --> 00:56:38,216
Think about it.
1032
00:56:38,383 --> 00:56:42,220
If the Earth today
is covered 71% in water,
1033
00:56:42,387 --> 00:56:44,590
water-formed
sedimentary rock layers
1034
00:56:44,790 --> 00:56:47,058
made up most of
the rock on Earth.
1035
00:56:47,225 --> 00:56:48,994
Inside those rock layers
1036
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:51,697
are sea creatures
mixed in with land creatures.
1037
00:56:51,863 --> 00:56:55,100
Some of these sedimentary
layers span entire continents,
1038
00:56:55,300 --> 00:56:59,170
meaning they were formed
all together in one event.
1039
00:56:59,337 --> 00:57:02,007
Multiple layers are
bent and folded together,
1040
00:57:02,173 --> 00:57:05,511
proving rapid
burial events created them.
1041
00:57:05,677 --> 00:57:09,180
We find trees spanning
through multiple layers of rock,
1042
00:57:09,347 --> 00:57:10,616
and all over the globe,
1043
00:57:10,816 --> 00:57:13,351
we find massive
areas of erosion,
1044
00:57:13,519 --> 00:57:15,887
such as great
canyons carved out.
1045
00:57:16,054 --> 00:57:20,258
It is obvious that God
left all of this evidence behind
1046
00:57:20,425 --> 00:57:24,129
as a testimony
to the biblical flood.
1047
00:57:27,699 --> 00:57:30,068
The second
most powerful evidence
1048
00:57:30,235 --> 00:57:34,372
are the fossils that are
in these sedimentary layers.
1049
00:57:34,540 --> 00:57:38,409
To produce a fossil
requires, in most cases,
1050
00:57:38,577 --> 00:57:41,312
especially for
the larger kinds of organisms,
1051
00:57:41,513 --> 00:57:46,217
requires complete
burial and rapid burial,
1052
00:57:46,384 --> 00:57:50,388
and that automatically speaks
of catastrophic conditions.
1053
00:57:50,556 --> 00:57:54,593
So the fact that we find so
many fossils so well-preserved,
1054
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:56,662
many of them with evidence
1055
00:57:56,862 --> 00:57:58,797
that the animals
were buried alive,
1056
00:57:58,964 --> 00:58:03,569
is another powerful
evidence for a flood cataclysm.
1057
00:58:03,735 --> 00:58:05,771
There's a lot
of fossils in museums.
1058
00:58:05,937 --> 00:58:07,272
In fact, the museums are full.
1059
00:58:07,438 --> 00:58:09,440
They don't want
any more fossils.
1060
00:58:09,608 --> 00:58:10,742
The basements are full.
1061
00:58:11,276 --> 00:58:14,946
Museums have
collected one billion fossils,
1062
00:58:15,113 --> 00:58:17,916
and scientists
suggest that in the rocks,
1063
00:58:18,083 --> 00:58:19,250
and you could find these,
1064
00:58:19,417 --> 00:58:21,953
there are trillions of fossils.
1065
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,790
If you see an animal die
along the side of the road,
1066
00:58:24,956 --> 00:58:26,524
like a possum or a deer,
1067
00:58:26,725 --> 00:58:29,861
pretty soon that deer
or that possum is gone.
1068
00:58:30,061 --> 00:58:33,298
The bones
disintegrate, scavengers come,
1069
00:58:33,464 --> 00:58:36,334
the mice eat the bones,
the pelt falls apart.
1070
00:58:36,501 --> 00:58:39,304
10 years later,
it's just dust, there's nothing.
1071
00:58:39,470 --> 00:58:41,506
And yet there's
these trillion fossils.
1072
00:58:41,673 --> 00:58:43,609
Here's why
we have a trillion fossils.
1073
00:58:43,775 --> 00:58:45,276
There was this enormous flood.
1074
00:58:45,443 --> 00:58:47,112
It was a worldwide flood.
1075
00:58:47,278 --> 00:58:49,881
Tsunamis were racing
across, bringing in sediment,
1076
00:58:50,081 --> 00:58:52,784
and quickly
burying these animals.
1077
00:58:52,951 --> 00:58:55,053
As the flood receded,
1078
00:58:55,253 --> 00:58:58,957
all this ocean water
percolated back through the sand
1079
00:58:59,124 --> 00:59:01,159
that was covering the animals
1080
00:59:01,326 --> 00:59:05,363
and provided the minerals to
change the bones into fossils.
1081
00:59:05,530 --> 00:59:07,733
And that's how
you get trillions of fossils.
1082
00:59:07,933 --> 00:59:09,400
You have to have
a worldwide flood.
1083
00:59:09,601 --> 00:59:11,637
The one thing
we frequently observe
1084
00:59:11,803 --> 00:59:14,239
is that the fossils have
been exquisitely preserved.
1085
00:59:14,439 --> 00:59:16,041
What do I mean by that?
1086
00:59:16,207 --> 00:59:19,010
Well, we find all
the details preserved in place.
1087
00:59:19,177 --> 00:59:23,214
For example, fish
about to swallow another fish,
1088
00:59:23,381 --> 00:59:25,150
and it's been buried.
1089
00:59:25,316 --> 00:59:27,819
That tells
you it had to be very rapid
1090
00:59:27,986 --> 00:59:29,755
to preserve those details.
1091
00:59:29,955 --> 00:59:32,691
In another example,
we've got ichthyosaurs,
1092
00:59:32,858 --> 00:59:34,325
which are marine reptiles,
1093
00:59:34,492 --> 00:59:36,394
some of these
up to six feet long,
1094
00:59:36,561 --> 00:59:38,096
and they've been buried
1095
00:59:38,296 --> 00:59:41,032
in the process of
giving birth to a baby.
1096
00:59:41,199 --> 00:59:43,935
Another case of,
you know, 10-12-foot-long fish
1097
00:59:44,135 --> 00:59:46,171
with an undigested
fish in its stomach.
1098
00:59:46,337 --> 00:59:51,009
The details of wings of wasps.
1099
00:59:51,176 --> 00:59:52,844
The wings are open,
1100
00:59:53,011 --> 00:59:55,380
and the legs are
in the flight position.
1101
00:59:55,546 --> 00:59:58,583
What can we think about?
They were flying.
1102
00:59:58,750 --> 01:00:01,252
And those insects
were trying to escape.
1103
01:00:01,419 --> 01:00:03,354
They're trying to go somewhere,
1104
01:00:03,521 --> 01:00:06,591
but they just got
trapped with all the sediments
1105
01:00:06,758 --> 01:00:08,126
of the waters of the flood,
1106
01:00:08,326 --> 01:00:10,796
and that's why
we can study them.
1107
01:00:10,996 --> 01:00:13,431
All these details require
1108
01:00:13,598 --> 01:00:15,801
extremely rapid burial.
1109
01:00:16,001 --> 01:00:19,104
It fits exactly
with what the Bible says.
It's consistent.
1110
01:00:19,270 --> 01:00:22,741
The destruction of
the flood was rapid, sudden,
1111
01:00:22,908 --> 01:00:24,943
catastrophic on a global scale,
1112
01:00:25,110 --> 01:00:29,580
preserving these creatures
sometimes in life positions,
1113
01:00:29,748 --> 01:00:32,617
caught in
the action of doing something
1114
01:00:32,784 --> 01:00:35,220
and the details
exquisitely preserved.
1115
01:00:35,386 --> 01:00:37,923
That's consistent with the
biblical record of the flood.
1116
01:00:39,791 --> 01:00:41,727
It may surprise you to learn
1117
01:00:41,893 --> 01:00:44,830
that all of
the rock layers of the world,
1118
01:00:45,030 --> 01:00:48,566
the named rock layers
like the Cambrian, the Jurassic,
1119
01:00:48,734 --> 01:00:51,970
all of the layers of the world
have saltwater creatures.
1120
01:00:52,137 --> 01:00:55,640
Huh, well, what
greater proof would you need
1121
01:00:55,807 --> 01:00:57,943
that this was
from a worldwide flood
1122
01:00:58,109 --> 01:01:00,645
that there's saltwater
creatures in all the layers?
1123
01:01:00,812 --> 01:01:03,481
Now this is in
the middle of the continents.
1124
01:01:03,648 --> 01:01:05,483
How did these
saltwater creatures get here?
1125
01:01:05,650 --> 01:01:07,252
It would have to be a flood.
1126
01:01:07,418 --> 01:01:10,956
Now the evolution
scientists have to explain
1127
01:01:11,122 --> 01:01:14,492
where these saltwater creatures
came from, how they got there.
1128
01:01:14,659 --> 01:01:17,028
You're saying, Mr.
Evolution Scientist,
1129
01:01:17,228 --> 01:01:19,264
that there's saltwater
creatures in all these layers,
1130
01:01:19,430 --> 01:01:21,199
and you're
saying the oceans rose,
1131
01:01:21,399 --> 01:01:24,602
covered the middle of the United
States, and went back down,
1132
01:01:24,770 --> 01:01:26,972
went back up,
went back down multiple times,
1133
01:01:27,138 --> 01:01:28,639
at least a dozen times.
1134
01:01:28,807 --> 01:01:30,341
Occam's Razor would say
1135
01:01:30,508 --> 01:01:32,443
it's more simple
to believe in one flood
1136
01:01:32,610 --> 01:01:35,713
than more than
a dozen worldwide floods.
1137
01:01:35,914 --> 01:01:38,016
It was in the 1980s
1138
01:01:38,183 --> 01:01:41,719
that the secular geologists
began to move to catastrophism
1139
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,823
and move away
from uniformitarianism
1140
01:01:44,990 --> 01:01:46,858
as soon as
it suited their needs.
1141
01:01:47,025 --> 01:01:49,995
They went to catastrophism
when it served their purposes
1142
01:01:50,161 --> 01:01:52,831
to help explain
the extinction of the dinosaurs.
1143
01:01:52,998 --> 01:01:55,533
Noah's flood provides
a better explanation
1144
01:01:55,700 --> 01:01:59,971
for the demise of the dinosaurs
than the impact in Yucatan.
1145
01:02:00,138 --> 01:02:04,642
Simply because that event
is so small, so localized,
1146
01:02:04,810 --> 01:02:07,212
there's no way
it could have a physical effect
1147
01:02:07,378 --> 01:02:09,981
that would cause
the dinosaurs to be buried
1148
01:02:10,148 --> 01:02:11,716
the way we find them.
1149
01:02:11,883 --> 01:02:14,920
And nobody in the secular
world even claims that.
1150
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:17,989
They say, "Well,
it produced climate change
1151
01:02:18,156 --> 01:02:20,859
that caused the dinosaurs
to starve to death."
1152
01:02:21,026 --> 01:02:23,929
If you go on Wikipedia today
1153
01:02:24,129 --> 01:02:28,066
and look up dinosaur
extinction or Chicxulub crater,
1154
01:02:28,233 --> 01:02:31,069
an asteroid sunk
and hit the Earth,
1155
01:02:31,236 --> 01:02:35,240
caused a global cooling because
of all the dust in the air,
1156
01:02:35,406 --> 01:02:37,408
and the dinosaurs
died out at that time.
1157
01:02:37,575 --> 01:02:39,510
We have simulations
1158
01:02:39,677 --> 01:02:42,013
where we've thrown
the Chicxulub-size meter
1159
01:02:42,180 --> 01:02:44,782
right on the Earth using
high-performance computing,
1160
01:02:44,983 --> 01:02:46,417
and then we get
the subduction event,
1161
01:02:46,584 --> 01:02:48,353
and we get
the breakup of the lithosphere,
1162
01:02:48,519 --> 01:02:51,122
and we start the earthquakes,
we start the volcanoes.
1163
01:02:51,322 --> 01:02:55,693
Actually meteoric impacts
could have initiated that event.
1164
01:02:55,861 --> 01:02:58,363
But it has no power
to explain the burial
1165
01:02:58,529 --> 01:03:00,698
of these huge animals
in the sediment record.
1166
01:03:02,067 --> 01:03:03,401
In the 1980s,
1167
01:03:03,568 --> 01:03:05,770
secular scientists
began to theorize
1168
01:03:05,937 --> 01:03:08,739
that it was an asteroid
that crashed into the Earth
1169
01:03:08,907 --> 01:03:11,910
and wiped out nearly
all of life on its surface.
1170
01:03:12,077 --> 01:03:15,080
The theory posits
that massive tsunamis
1171
01:03:15,246 --> 01:03:17,282
and volcanic dust-filled air
1172
01:03:17,448 --> 01:03:19,050
as a result of the impact
1173
01:03:19,217 --> 01:03:22,320
are what destroyed the dinosaurs
and most other life
1174
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:24,489
in a worldwide disaster.
1175
01:03:24,689 --> 01:03:27,225
Secular scientists
could not escape the fact
1176
01:03:27,392 --> 01:03:30,962
that water and
volcanism played a massive role
1177
01:03:31,129 --> 01:03:34,432
in how life was
once wiped out on Earth.
1178
01:03:34,599 --> 01:03:36,834
But the Bible
had already written
1179
01:03:37,035 --> 01:03:39,837
that the Earth had been
catastrophically destroyed
1180
01:03:40,038 --> 01:03:41,739
through volcanism and water.
1181
01:03:41,907 --> 01:03:44,009
And they didn't want
to validate the Bible,
1182
01:03:44,209 --> 01:03:45,776
so they came up
1183
01:03:45,944 --> 01:03:48,679
with their own
catastrophic version of events,
1184
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:51,917
i.e., the asteroid
impact theory.
1185
01:03:52,083 --> 01:03:56,187
You see, the Bible's book of
Genesis had already made clear
1186
01:03:56,387 --> 01:03:58,823
what happened in
the past in detail,
1187
01:03:58,990 --> 01:04:00,992
describing volcanic activity
1188
01:04:01,159 --> 01:04:03,428
bursting open
from the ocean floors,
1189
01:04:03,594 --> 01:04:08,199
chronicling when the volcanic
activity began and ceased,
1190
01:04:08,399 --> 01:04:10,201
how long the rain poured,
1191
01:04:10,401 --> 01:04:11,970
how high the waters reached,
1192
01:04:12,137 --> 01:04:14,172
as well as
giving the very reason
1193
01:04:14,339 --> 01:04:16,874
why God judged
and destroyed the world
1194
01:04:17,075 --> 01:04:19,077
with the flood
in the first place.
1195
01:04:20,178 --> 01:04:23,314
You are essentially
given two choices today.
1196
01:04:23,481 --> 01:04:25,116
On the one hand,
1197
01:04:25,283 --> 01:04:27,818
you have a book
written thousands of years ago
1198
01:04:27,986 --> 01:04:31,789
giving an amazingly detailed
account of a worldwide flood
1199
01:04:31,957 --> 01:04:35,393
that wiped out
virtually all life on Earth.
1200
01:04:36,294 --> 01:04:39,397
On the other hand,
you have manmade theories.
1201
01:04:39,597 --> 01:04:42,700
In this case, one
that was only first postulated
1202
01:04:42,867 --> 01:04:44,735
about 40 years ago
1203
01:04:44,936 --> 01:04:49,140
due to the inadequacy of their
prior non-catastrophic models
1204
01:04:49,307 --> 01:04:51,542
that they know
really didn't work.
1205
01:04:51,709 --> 01:04:54,379
Both views require
a catastrophic event
1206
01:04:54,545 --> 01:04:56,481
with global implications,
1207
01:04:56,647 --> 01:05:00,485
but only one has
the power to actually explain
1208
01:05:00,651 --> 01:05:03,654
the stratification
of the Earth's surface
1209
01:05:03,821 --> 01:05:06,391
and the trillions of fossils,
1210
01:05:06,557 --> 01:05:10,261
along with cultures around
the world citing a global flood
1211
01:05:10,461 --> 01:05:12,930
in their historical
writings and legends,
1212
01:05:13,131 --> 01:05:17,002
while the other
merely rearranges elements
1213
01:05:17,168 --> 01:05:20,105
from the true account
to concoct its own story.
1214
01:05:20,305 --> 01:05:21,706
Think about it.
1215
01:05:21,872 --> 01:05:24,242
The Bible already said long ago
1216
01:05:24,409 --> 01:05:26,211
that the entire world's surface
1217
01:05:26,377 --> 01:05:28,346
was destroyed catastrophically.
1218
01:05:28,513 --> 01:05:32,283
They have no choice
but to make that same claim.
1219
01:05:32,483 --> 01:05:34,285
The Bible said
that the continents
1220
01:05:34,485 --> 01:05:35,953
were once
together in the beginning.
1221
01:05:36,154 --> 01:05:38,689
It looks like
they have to share that too.
1222
01:05:38,856 --> 01:05:41,192
Nearly all animal life on Earth
1223
01:05:41,359 --> 01:05:43,628
was wiped out
during the destruction,
1224
01:05:43,828 --> 01:05:46,797
a fact that they also
couldn't ignore.
1225
01:05:46,998 --> 01:05:50,301
Marine life was
scattered across the world.
1226
01:05:50,501 --> 01:05:53,871
The Bible says the waters went
above the highest mountains.
1227
01:05:54,039 --> 01:05:56,874
Secular scientists
formulated their own theories
1228
01:05:57,042 --> 01:05:59,910
as to how to explain
the marine fossils away.
1229
01:06:01,112 --> 01:06:05,150
The Earth's original environment
was permanently destroyed.
1230
01:06:05,350 --> 01:06:08,319
The pre-flood paradise was gone.
1231
01:06:08,519 --> 01:06:10,921
In the secular
model, they refer to this
1232
01:06:11,089 --> 01:06:14,159
as the prehistoric
world going extinct.
1233
01:06:14,359 --> 01:06:16,061
And let's not forget
1234
01:06:16,227 --> 01:06:19,597
that the flood set
the processes into motion
1235
01:06:19,764 --> 01:06:22,300
for much of
the world to be frozen over.
1236
01:06:22,467 --> 01:06:26,771
Hot oceans produce evaporations
and greater snowfall.
1237
01:06:26,937 --> 01:06:30,941
Volcanoes send volumes of
aerosols into the atmosphere,
1238
01:06:31,109 --> 01:06:32,477
blocking the sun.
1239
01:06:32,643 --> 01:06:35,246
Greater snowfall
with cooler summers
1240
01:06:35,413 --> 01:06:38,149
results in global ice sheets.
1241
01:06:38,316 --> 01:06:41,786
Evolutionists have called
these results of the flood
1242
01:06:41,952 --> 01:06:43,421
the Ice Age.
1243
01:06:43,988 --> 01:06:46,857
One of these is
constantly being proven true
1244
01:06:47,058 --> 01:06:50,628
as more and more evidence
is discovered over time,
1245
01:06:50,795 --> 01:06:52,863
while the other
was only invented
1246
01:06:53,064 --> 01:06:55,400
after the evidence
was unearthed.
1247
01:06:56,601 --> 01:06:59,470
And further still,
contained within the Bible,
1248
01:06:59,637 --> 01:07:03,441
is also the prediction
that all of this would happen.
1249
01:07:04,442 --> 01:07:05,810
In the second book of Peter,
1250
01:07:05,976 --> 01:07:07,678
we are told
that in the last days,
1251
01:07:07,845 --> 01:07:09,814
which is
the time fast approaching,
1252
01:07:09,980 --> 01:07:14,018
unbelievers would be
willingly ignorant of the flood,
1253
01:07:14,185 --> 01:07:16,487
meaning
that secular men and women
1254
01:07:16,654 --> 01:07:19,957
would consciously choose
to believe and create lies
1255
01:07:20,125 --> 01:07:22,993
that allow them
to push the catastrophic event
1256
01:07:23,161 --> 01:07:24,462
into the distant past,
1257
01:07:24,629 --> 01:07:26,864
so long ago and so far away,
1258
01:07:27,031 --> 01:07:29,500
it ceases to be
scientific history
1259
01:07:29,667 --> 01:07:32,403
and becomes scientific fantasy.
1260
01:07:32,603 --> 01:07:35,039
The irony can only
be described as biblical.
1261
01:07:35,206 --> 01:07:38,209
The Bible makes it clear
that the end times
would be characterized
1262
01:07:38,376 --> 01:07:41,679
by increasing unbelief of
the biblical account of history
1263
01:07:41,846 --> 01:07:44,482
and the flood event itself.
1264
01:07:44,649 --> 01:07:48,719
Sadly, the religion of evolution
is one in which its priests
1265
01:07:48,886 --> 01:07:51,822
are constantly updating
their outdated theories,
1266
01:07:51,989 --> 01:07:53,724
while in the Bible,
1267
01:07:53,891 --> 01:07:57,662
we are given the final,
true, and unchanging account.
1268
01:07:58,496 --> 01:08:01,199
And as the evidence
is unearthed over time,
1269
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:06,271
the biblical account
is always proven to be true.
1270
01:08:13,844 --> 01:08:15,180
If you go to a museum today
1271
01:08:15,346 --> 01:08:17,081
and look at
the dinosaur displays,
1272
01:08:17,248 --> 01:08:19,417
you'll notice that the animals
1273
01:08:19,584 --> 01:08:22,420
look strange and unusual
with the dinosaurs.
1274
01:08:22,587 --> 01:08:26,123
Have you ever seen a boa
constrictor at a museum display
1275
01:08:26,324 --> 01:08:28,293
wrapped around a T-Rex's leg?
1276
01:08:28,493 --> 01:08:32,230
No, but they have found
boa constrictors with dinosaurs.
1277
01:08:32,397 --> 01:08:34,299
Have you ever seen a box turtle
1278
01:08:34,499 --> 01:08:36,701
at the feet of a stegosaurus?
1279
01:08:36,867 --> 01:08:39,870
No, but they found
box turtles with dinosaurs.
1280
01:08:40,037 --> 01:08:44,409
Have you ever seen a T-Rex
with a duck flying over him?
1281
01:08:44,575 --> 01:08:48,078
No, but ducks have
been found with dinosaurs.
1282
01:08:48,246 --> 01:08:51,549
All seven
groups of animals today
1283
01:08:51,716 --> 01:08:54,118
have been found
with the dinosaurs,
1284
01:08:54,285 --> 01:08:56,053
and they look the same.
1285
01:08:56,221 --> 01:08:57,922
Museum displays don't show that.
1286
01:08:58,088 --> 01:09:01,559
So if they actually
put the animals they found
1287
01:09:01,726 --> 01:09:03,228
with the dinosaurs,
1288
01:09:03,394 --> 01:09:05,129
people would look at
those displays and say,
1289
01:09:05,296 --> 01:09:06,664
"Well, evolution
hasn't occurred.
1290
01:09:06,864 --> 01:09:09,234
It's just
the dinosaurs went extinct."
1291
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:13,003
But scientists have
withheld the modern animals
1292
01:09:13,204 --> 01:09:14,605
from their dinosaur displays
1293
01:09:14,772 --> 01:09:17,174
to promote the idea
that evolution occurred.
1294
01:09:17,375 --> 01:09:20,278
You know,
the soft tissue analysis
1295
01:09:20,445 --> 01:09:22,780
in dinosaurs that's been recent
1296
01:09:22,947 --> 01:09:27,017
has been a little bit of
an enigma to those who believe
1297
01:09:27,218 --> 01:09:29,320
that the Earth and
universe is really old.
1298
01:09:29,487 --> 01:09:33,491
Mary Schweitzer in
the 1990s and the early 2000s
1299
01:09:33,658 --> 01:09:38,329
first found this, like,
elastic material in arteries.
1300
01:09:38,496 --> 01:09:43,368
Elastic material means,
you pull it and it reloads
back to its original place.
1301
01:09:43,568 --> 01:09:48,038
Dinosaur soft tissue
is a very recent finding.
1302
01:09:48,239 --> 01:09:50,841
They don't want
it really getting out.
1303
01:09:51,008 --> 01:09:53,478
It's not in any
of the textbooks.
1304
01:09:53,644 --> 01:09:56,714
This lady
cracked open or cut open
1305
01:09:56,914 --> 01:09:59,350
one of the bones,
1306
01:09:59,517 --> 01:10:02,287
and you could
smell the putrefaction.
1307
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:06,991
Dinosaur bones shouldn't
smell like they're dying
1308
01:10:07,157 --> 01:10:09,226
'cause they've been dead
for millions of years, right?
1309
01:10:09,427 --> 01:10:12,029
Well, little bit later,
Mark Armitage started looking
1310
01:10:12,196 --> 01:10:14,632
at the horn of the triceratops,
1311
01:10:14,799 --> 01:10:17,167
but he found bone
materials, tissue and bone,
1312
01:10:17,335 --> 01:10:20,871
the osteocytes that actually
you pull it and it had strains.
1313
01:10:21,038 --> 01:10:23,040
Strains are how
much you deform something.
1314
01:10:23,207 --> 01:10:25,910
It had up to almost 100% strain.
1315
01:10:26,110 --> 01:10:28,979
Muscle tissue in
the Santanaraptor fossil,
1316
01:10:29,146 --> 01:10:31,215
and it was like
dinosaur beef jerky
1317
01:10:31,382 --> 01:10:33,751
on the leg bone of a dinosaur.
1318
01:10:33,951 --> 01:10:35,720
It was the actual muscle.
1319
01:10:35,886 --> 01:10:37,722
And this Thescelosaurus
bone is the same thing.
1320
01:10:37,888 --> 01:10:39,657
We started looking
inside of this bone,
1321
01:10:39,824 --> 01:10:42,827
and we found, using
scanning electron microscopy,
1322
01:10:42,993 --> 01:10:45,496
that it had elastic
material, it had tissue.
1323
01:10:45,663 --> 01:10:47,898
You pull it apart,
and it goes back.
1324
01:10:48,065 --> 01:10:49,767
If this was mineralized
1325
01:10:49,967 --> 01:10:51,369
or it was
a fossil that became a rock,
1326
01:10:51,536 --> 01:10:53,170
you couldn't do this.
1327
01:10:53,338 --> 01:10:55,940
So it was never
mineralized, never petrified.
1328
01:10:56,140 --> 01:10:59,176
It was still elastic,
meaning it was still the tissue.
1329
01:10:59,344 --> 01:11:03,881
That means this thing is
not a hundred million years old.
1330
01:11:04,048 --> 01:11:08,185
The biblical account expects
to find some of that stuff.
1331
01:11:08,353 --> 01:11:10,621
So like what was it?
Bone marrow.
1332
01:11:10,821 --> 01:11:12,790
-Red blood cells.
-Cartilage.
1333
01:11:12,990 --> 01:11:14,692
-Collagen.
-The hemoglobin.
1334
01:11:14,859 --> 01:11:16,694
And muscle fiber proteins.
1335
01:11:16,861 --> 01:11:18,963
These things
shouldn't be able to last
1336
01:11:19,163 --> 01:11:21,031
but a hundred
thousand years tops,
1337
01:11:21,198 --> 01:11:24,134
but these things were
a hundred million years old.
1338
01:11:24,335 --> 01:11:26,971
Okay, 68 million years old,
but closer to a hundred million.
1339
01:11:27,171 --> 01:11:29,607
The amino acids
in the protein strands
1340
01:11:29,774 --> 01:11:32,877
would unbuckle and fall
apart into protein powder,
1341
01:11:33,043 --> 01:11:34,745
and there is no
explanation to this day,
1342
01:11:34,912 --> 01:11:37,715
nothing that makes any
decent scientific sense,
1343
01:11:37,882 --> 01:11:39,917
and it's just
been left as an anomaly.
1344
01:11:40,084 --> 01:11:43,388
Neil deGrasse Tyson interviewed
Mary Schweitzer and some others
1345
01:11:43,554 --> 01:11:47,458
and then turned the attention
to the medullary layer.
1346
01:11:47,625 --> 01:11:49,827
They tried
to distract the attention
1347
01:11:50,027 --> 01:11:51,662
away from the red blood cells.
1348
01:11:51,862 --> 01:11:53,297
The medullary layer was there,
1349
01:11:53,464 --> 01:11:56,266
showing that the T-Rex
that this bone came from
1350
01:11:56,434 --> 01:11:58,102
was, at the time, carrying eggs.
1351
01:11:58,268 --> 01:12:00,638
That's really what
we call a shell game,
1352
01:12:00,805 --> 01:12:02,507
a smoke and mirrors game,
1353
01:12:02,707 --> 01:12:04,442
a dog and pony show
1354
01:12:04,609 --> 01:12:08,012
meant to distract away
from the elephant in the room,
1355
01:12:08,212 --> 01:12:10,815
which was there were proteins
1356
01:12:10,981 --> 01:12:12,983
in that T-Rex bone.
1357
01:12:13,150 --> 01:12:16,186
Now Mark Armitage, working
University of California,
1358
01:12:16,387 --> 01:12:21,592
did find soft tissue
inside of a triceratops horn,
1359
01:12:21,759 --> 01:12:25,696
and when he published
that finding, they fired him.
1360
01:12:25,896 --> 01:12:28,633
So
they are willingly ignorant,
1361
01:12:28,799 --> 01:12:30,668
squelching the truth,
1362
01:12:30,835 --> 01:12:33,137
and this is
actually not science.
1363
01:12:33,303 --> 01:12:35,205
This is propaganda.
1364
01:12:35,406 --> 01:12:39,276
Now we're talking about thought
control and the mind police.
1365
01:12:39,444 --> 01:12:42,780
They wanted to fire him
because they felt that this
was a religious position
1366
01:12:42,947 --> 01:12:46,283
when really he had only brought
forth a scientific discovery.
1367
01:12:48,185 --> 01:12:51,989
In 1993,
a film titled "Jurassic Park"
1368
01:12:52,156 --> 01:12:53,991
featured a rather famous scene
1369
01:12:54,158 --> 01:12:58,062
in which the remains of an
ancient mosquito were preserved,
1370
01:12:58,262 --> 01:13:01,165
encased in
a ball of hardened amber.
1371
01:13:01,331 --> 01:13:03,000
The film goes on to explain
1372
01:13:03,167 --> 01:13:05,402
that the way
scientists could resurrect
1373
01:13:05,603 --> 01:13:07,037
the dinosaurs from the past
1374
01:13:07,204 --> 01:13:08,873
was by extracting blood
1375
01:13:09,039 --> 01:13:11,909
from the remains
inside this mosquito,
1376
01:13:12,109 --> 01:13:15,580
in which dinosaur DNA
could be fully sequenced
1377
01:13:15,780 --> 01:13:17,482
by combining what was missing
1378
01:13:17,648 --> 01:13:19,917
with that of a modern-day frog.
1379
01:13:20,117 --> 01:13:22,720
This idea came about
because back in the '90s,
1380
01:13:22,887 --> 01:13:24,755
the writer Michael Crichton
1381
01:13:24,955 --> 01:13:27,492
was struggling
to come up with a concept
1382
01:13:27,658 --> 01:13:29,494
to explain how dinosaurs
1383
01:13:29,660 --> 01:13:32,530
could somehow be brought
back to life in a feasible way
1384
01:13:32,697 --> 01:13:34,699
in his book of the same title.
1385
01:13:35,733 --> 01:13:39,203
What the "Jurassic Park"
creators couldn't have imagined
1386
01:13:39,369 --> 01:13:44,374
was the discovery of soft tissue
inside of a dinosaur bone,
1387
01:13:44,975 --> 01:13:46,844
a finding that has
since been replicated
1388
01:13:47,011 --> 01:13:48,579
by other scientists,
1389
01:13:48,746 --> 01:13:51,582
such as this
stretching triceratops tissue
1390
01:13:51,749 --> 01:13:54,018
discovered by Mark Armitage.
1391
01:13:54,184 --> 01:13:56,120
These discoveries shocked
1392
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:58,789
the entire
paleontological community
1393
01:13:58,989 --> 01:14:00,758
and would likely have rewritten
1394
01:14:00,925 --> 01:14:02,860
the original
"Jurassic Park" film
1395
01:14:03,027 --> 01:14:06,531
had they known this
was possible at the time.
1396
01:14:06,697 --> 01:14:10,067
In fact, scientists
have run into major challenges
1397
01:14:10,234 --> 01:14:12,603
when attempting
to publish these findings
1398
01:14:12,770 --> 01:14:15,272
because of
the wholesale rejection
1399
01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:18,909
that dinosaur soft
tissue could even still exist.
1400
01:14:19,076 --> 01:14:21,311
The consensus at the time agreed
1401
01:14:21,512 --> 01:14:24,281
that it was
completely impossible
1402
01:14:24,448 --> 01:14:27,417
because everyone held
to the widespread belief
1403
01:14:27,585 --> 01:14:30,387
that the bones were
millions of years old,
1404
01:14:30,555 --> 01:14:33,591
which would require
that all of their biomaterial
1405
01:14:33,758 --> 01:14:36,126
had long since fossilized.
1406
01:14:36,293 --> 01:14:37,962
There was simply no way
1407
01:14:38,128 --> 01:14:41,465
that these dinosaur
bones contained biomaterial
1408
01:14:41,632 --> 01:14:46,303
like blood vessels and
proteins such as collagen.
1409
01:14:46,470 --> 01:14:50,474
In fact, of these 16
types of bio-organic materials
1410
01:14:50,641 --> 01:14:53,343
that have since been discovered
inside dinosaur bones,
1411
01:14:53,544 --> 01:14:56,413
collagen by
itself ends the debate
1412
01:14:56,581 --> 01:14:59,116
on these bones being
millions of years old,
1413
01:14:59,283 --> 01:15:01,919
as the maximum age of collagen
1414
01:15:02,086 --> 01:15:05,289
is as low as 10,000
years by some estimates
1415
01:15:05,455 --> 01:15:08,959
and as high as
900,000 years by others,
1416
01:15:09,126 --> 01:15:11,328
with 100,000 years
1417
01:15:11,495 --> 01:15:14,932
being the generally
agreed upon maximum age.
1418
01:15:15,099 --> 01:15:16,867
To put this into perspective,
1419
01:15:17,067 --> 01:15:19,837
if each of these tiny bars
1420
01:15:20,004 --> 01:15:23,540
represents
a period of 100,000 years,
1421
01:15:23,741 --> 01:15:26,110
then only one of these bars
1422
01:15:26,276 --> 01:15:30,948
represents the maximum age
collagen could survive
over time.
1423
01:15:31,115 --> 01:15:34,518
If we zoom out to the time
span of a hundred million years,
1424
01:15:34,685 --> 01:15:37,387
then we can see
that the lifespan of collagen
1425
01:15:37,588 --> 01:15:39,690
is 1,000 times shorter
1426
01:15:39,857 --> 01:15:44,228
than the general age
evolutionists claim dinosaur
bones are.
1427
01:15:44,428 --> 01:15:46,030
Or another way to say it is
1428
01:15:46,196 --> 01:15:51,035
that collagen
doesn't even last. 001%
1429
01:15:51,201 --> 01:15:53,303
as long as it would have to
1430
01:15:53,470 --> 01:15:56,240
in order for
evolution theory to work,
1431
01:15:56,440 --> 01:15:59,343
proving that it's
not even remotely
1432
01:15:59,509 --> 01:16:01,078
within the realm of possibility
1433
01:16:01,278 --> 01:16:04,348
that collagen
could survive for so long.
1434
01:16:05,883 --> 01:16:08,385
The relatively short
shelf life of collagen
1435
01:16:08,552 --> 01:16:10,254
proves what
the Bible has been saying
1436
01:16:10,454 --> 01:16:12,690
about these bones all along,
1437
01:16:12,857 --> 01:16:16,393
that they're
roughly 4,400 years old
1438
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:18,763
and were buried
all over the world
1439
01:16:18,963 --> 01:16:21,431
around the time of Noah's flood.
1440
01:16:30,540 --> 01:16:33,277
As the floodwaters
began to recede,
1441
01:16:33,477 --> 01:16:37,047
the Earth was
in a state of chaos.
1442
01:16:37,214 --> 01:16:39,516
Dinosaur graveyards like these
1443
01:16:39,684 --> 01:16:42,887
would later be
found all over the Earth,
1444
01:16:43,053 --> 01:16:46,523
and secular
paleontologists agree
1445
01:16:46,691 --> 01:16:51,061
that these worldwide
sites share one thing in common.
1446
01:16:51,996 --> 01:16:54,531
The state the bones are found in
1447
01:16:54,699 --> 01:16:57,902
all show
evidence of flood burial.
1448
01:17:00,037 --> 01:17:04,308
And now you understand exactly
where the water came from,
1449
01:17:06,076 --> 01:17:09,113
water that would
eventually dry up
1450
01:17:09,279 --> 01:17:12,883
because it didn't
belong there in the first place.
1451
01:17:14,184 --> 01:17:17,922
The whole Earth would
undergo a massive reset
1452
01:17:18,088 --> 01:17:21,591
as vegetation
would slowly grow back
1453
01:17:21,759 --> 01:17:26,330
and water would find
its final resting places.
1454
01:17:29,967 --> 01:17:32,469
Sadly, the Earth that was once
1455
01:17:32,636 --> 01:17:36,106
a perfect habitat for dinosaurs
1456
01:17:36,273 --> 01:17:39,443
was now irrevocably ruined,
1457
01:17:39,609 --> 01:17:42,947
and those dinosaurs
that were able to survive
1458
01:17:43,113 --> 01:17:47,284
would be hunted
to extinction over time.
1459
01:17:47,451 --> 01:17:50,420
We know them as dinosaurs,
1460
01:17:50,587 --> 01:17:55,159
but legend would
remember them as dragons.
1461
01:17:59,396 --> 01:18:00,798
And so it was
1462
01:18:00,965 --> 01:18:05,002
that on the 17th
day of the 7th month,
1463
01:18:05,169 --> 01:18:09,306
"the ark rested upon
the mountains of Ararat."
1464
01:18:09,473 --> 01:18:13,110
It was a little over
a year after the flood began
1465
01:18:13,277 --> 01:18:17,214
that Noah, his family,
and all onboard the ark
1466
01:18:17,414 --> 01:18:20,550
would finally step
onto dry land again.
1467
01:18:22,953 --> 01:18:27,324
This group of eight people
would repopulate the Earth,
1468
01:18:27,491 --> 01:18:29,894
just as legends
around the world cite
1469
01:18:30,094 --> 01:18:32,462
in their historical literature.
1470
01:18:36,466 --> 01:18:38,903
And science would later prove
1471
01:18:39,103 --> 01:18:42,506
that this genetic
bottleneck really did occur,
1472
01:18:43,808 --> 01:18:48,846
exactly as the Bible
had told us all along.
1473
01:18:54,819 --> 01:18:58,555
In terms of looking
at the way ideas progress,
1474
01:18:58,722 --> 01:19:01,758
we know that history
can become more mythical.
1475
01:19:01,959 --> 01:19:05,362
Myth, as a core idea,
cannot become more historical.
1476
01:19:05,529 --> 01:19:06,864
It doesn't go the other way.
1477
01:19:07,031 --> 01:19:09,066
History can
become more historical.
1478
01:19:09,233 --> 01:19:11,335
Myth becomes more mythical.
1479
01:19:11,501 --> 01:19:13,337
And if you start with
myth, you end up with myth.
1480
01:19:13,503 --> 01:19:14,939
You can never go the other way.
1481
01:19:15,139 --> 01:19:17,674
So we can see, as
a genre, how different they are.
1482
01:19:17,842 --> 01:19:21,345
There's been about
200 flood traditions
1483
01:19:21,511 --> 01:19:25,249
discovered by anthropologists
and missionaries and others,
1484
01:19:25,415 --> 01:19:28,785
and many of these flood
traditions come from
people groups
1485
01:19:28,986 --> 01:19:30,855
that don't even
live near the ocean.
1486
01:19:31,021 --> 01:19:33,523
There are hundreds of flood
legends from around the world,
1487
01:19:33,690 --> 01:19:36,526
but in many of these cases,
you have huge similarities
to the biblical account.
1488
01:19:36,693 --> 01:19:38,795
You have one
righteous family that is saved,
1489
01:19:38,996 --> 01:19:41,131
and the reason for the flood
is because God was angry.
1490
01:19:41,331 --> 01:19:43,767
The gods were angry at something
that humanity had done.
1491
01:19:43,934 --> 01:19:47,972
They all talk about
man and animals surviving
1492
01:19:48,172 --> 01:19:49,306
on some kind of a boat.
1493
01:19:49,506 --> 01:19:51,475
There are lots of similarities,
1494
01:19:51,675 --> 01:19:53,577
but the true
account is in Genesis.
1495
01:19:53,743 --> 01:19:55,245
Some of the evidence of that
1496
01:19:55,412 --> 01:19:57,982
is just in
the description of the ark.
1497
01:19:58,182 --> 01:20:01,285
The Babylonian Gilgamesh Epic
1498
01:20:01,451 --> 01:20:03,620
has a cube for the ark.
1499
01:20:03,787 --> 01:20:05,789
Well, that would
just roll in the water,
1500
01:20:05,956 --> 01:20:07,757
and everything would die.
1501
01:20:07,925 --> 01:20:10,327
The biblical account has a flood
1502
01:20:10,527 --> 01:20:13,063
that its duration is 371 days.
1503
01:20:13,230 --> 01:20:15,232
But when we come
to the Gilgamesh Epic,
1504
01:20:15,399 --> 01:20:17,001
it's merely six days.
1505
01:20:17,201 --> 01:20:19,603
It only took one week
to build this huge ark,
1506
01:20:19,769 --> 01:20:22,172
where it took
Noah probably 55 years
1507
01:20:22,372 --> 01:20:26,276
or something in
that range to construct his ark.
1508
01:20:26,443 --> 01:20:28,612
The biblical
account is the true account,
1509
01:20:28,778 --> 01:20:31,515
and these other
stories are the result
1510
01:20:31,715 --> 01:20:35,920
of people migrating from the
Tower of Babel after the flood
1511
01:20:36,086 --> 01:20:38,488
and preserving in their memory
1512
01:20:38,655 --> 01:20:42,359
an echo of the true account
that is recorded in Genesis.
1513
01:20:42,559 --> 01:20:46,030
And the farther they moved
away from the Middle East
1514
01:20:46,230 --> 01:20:48,765
and any contact
with the true account,
1515
01:20:48,933 --> 01:20:52,836
the more the story
got corrupted over time.
1516
01:20:53,003 --> 01:20:55,039
And so that explains
the differences
1517
01:20:55,239 --> 01:20:56,806
as well as the similarities.
1518
01:20:56,974 --> 01:20:59,609
The biblical account,
by all measure,
1519
01:20:59,776 --> 01:21:01,545
stands independent
from the others.
1520
01:21:01,745 --> 01:21:03,880
So they certainly had
a common core in history.
1521
01:21:04,081 --> 01:21:05,649
There was an event
that happened.
1522
01:21:06,183 --> 01:21:08,818
We've actually recorded
about 23 different accounts
1523
01:21:08,986 --> 01:21:11,855
that are very similar to Babel,
where people were
trying to build this tower,
1524
01:21:12,022 --> 01:21:14,658
and the gods were
angry or God was angry
1525
01:21:14,824 --> 01:21:17,194
and forced them to scatter
by confusing their language.
1526
01:21:17,361 --> 01:21:19,964
And then from Genesis 12 onward,
1527
01:21:20,130 --> 01:21:21,298
we don't see
similarities anymore.
1528
01:21:21,465 --> 01:21:22,832
There's no Abraham legend.
1529
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:24,568
There's no Isaac
legend or David legend
1530
01:21:24,768 --> 01:21:25,669
or anything like that.
1531
01:21:25,835 --> 01:21:27,571
But Genesis 1 through 11,
1532
01:21:27,771 --> 01:21:29,806
people all around the globe
seem to know about. Why?
1533
01:21:29,974 --> 01:21:31,808
Well, because what
the Bible's telling us is true,
1534
01:21:31,976 --> 01:21:34,178
and up until Genesis 11
at the Babel event,
1535
01:21:34,344 --> 01:21:36,480
mankind had a shared history.
1536
01:21:36,646 --> 01:21:38,715
And then they took
that history with them,
and they passed it along,
1537
01:21:38,882 --> 01:21:40,817
and it gets
distorted as the years go by.
1538
01:21:40,985 --> 01:21:43,187
After the flood,
God blesses Noah and his sons,
1539
01:21:43,353 --> 01:21:45,255
tells him to be fruitful
and multiply, fill the Earth,
1540
01:21:45,455 --> 01:21:46,856
the same sort of thing
that he told Adam and Eve.
1541
01:21:47,024 --> 01:21:49,526
So, in a sense,
man gets to start over.
1542
01:21:49,693 --> 01:21:52,062
And yet what do we see
just a few generations later?
1543
01:21:52,229 --> 01:21:53,697
The people refuse to scatter.
1544
01:21:53,863 --> 01:21:55,932
They said "No, we're
gonna stay right here
1545
01:21:56,133 --> 01:21:58,002
in the Mesopotamian Valley,"
1546
01:21:58,168 --> 01:22:00,337
and they began to build a tower.
1547
01:22:00,504 --> 01:22:02,372
They had a one-world government.
1548
01:22:02,539 --> 01:22:06,010
Genesis 11 tells us that God
stopped that building project
1549
01:22:06,176 --> 01:22:09,246
by supernaturally
creating different languages
1550
01:22:09,413 --> 01:22:11,415
to force
the people to move apart,
1551
01:22:11,581 --> 01:22:15,619
according to their families,
into different nations.
1552
01:22:15,819 --> 01:22:19,389
People then who were
biologically,
genetically very close
1553
01:22:19,556 --> 01:22:23,627
began to marry
within their language group.
1554
01:22:23,827 --> 01:22:25,529
And from what
we know of genetics,
1555
01:22:25,695 --> 01:22:29,766
that would bring out recessive
genes to become dominant
1556
01:22:29,933 --> 01:22:33,137
and physical characteristics
associated with that.
1557
01:22:33,337 --> 01:22:34,638
But the Bible is very clear.
1558
01:22:34,838 --> 01:22:36,806
There's only one
race, Adam's race.
1559
01:22:37,007 --> 01:22:40,744
Paul says that God
made from one man or one blood
1560
01:22:40,910 --> 01:22:44,281
"all the nations to dwell
upon the face of the Earth."
1561
01:22:44,448 --> 01:22:46,950
So there's absolutely no basis
1562
01:22:47,117 --> 01:22:48,885
for saying
that one group of people
1563
01:22:49,053 --> 01:22:51,088
with a certain
shade of brown skin
1564
01:22:51,255 --> 01:22:53,890
are superior or
inferior to some other people
1565
01:22:54,058 --> 01:22:56,126
who have a different
shade of brown skin.
1566
01:22:56,293 --> 01:22:59,729
We have no basis to hate people
that look different from us
1567
01:22:59,896 --> 01:23:03,567
because, in reality, everybody
looks different from me.
1568
01:23:03,733 --> 01:23:05,935
So if I were gonna hate people
that look different from me,
1569
01:23:06,103 --> 01:23:07,571
I'd have to hate everybody.
1570
01:23:07,737 --> 01:23:11,075
So we should be
loving and accepting
1571
01:23:11,241 --> 01:23:13,077
because we're all descended
1572
01:23:13,243 --> 01:23:15,579
from the same
couple, Adam and Eve.
1573
01:23:15,745 --> 01:23:18,748
Now the interesting thing
is that most evidence shows
1574
01:23:18,915 --> 01:23:21,318
that humanity
started in the Middle East,
1575
01:23:21,485 --> 01:23:23,753
which we'd expect if
the Tower of Babel was true.
1576
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:25,922
All these languages
seem to have diverged
1577
01:23:26,090 --> 01:23:27,257
from about that region.
1578
01:23:32,596 --> 01:23:34,964
As what
was now left of the ark
1579
01:23:35,132 --> 01:23:37,767
rested in
the mountains of Ararat,
1580
01:23:39,103 --> 01:23:41,838
God made a covenant with Noah,
1581
01:23:42,606 --> 01:23:46,476
promising him and
all of his posterity
1582
01:23:46,643 --> 01:23:50,046
that He would never
again destroy the Earth
1583
01:23:50,247 --> 01:23:52,782
and all life on it with a flood.
1584
01:23:55,085 --> 01:23:58,021
Then God
blessed Noah and his sons
1585
01:23:59,523 --> 01:24:03,127
and commanded them
to once again multiply
1586
01:24:03,293 --> 01:24:05,061
and spread out upon the Earth.
1587
01:24:06,163 --> 01:24:10,700
But on the plains of Shinar,
men disobeyed God's command,
1588
01:24:10,867 --> 01:24:15,339
and instead they came
together to build a city
1589
01:24:16,273 --> 01:24:20,844
and a great tower they intended
to reach to the heavens
1590
01:24:21,010 --> 01:24:25,182
in an ultimate act of rebellion
1591
01:24:25,349 --> 01:24:27,417
and rejection of God.
1592
01:24:34,158 --> 01:24:36,660
But God came down
1593
01:24:36,826 --> 01:24:39,396
and put a stop to their tower
1594
01:24:39,563 --> 01:24:43,267
by dividing
their once unified language
1595
01:24:43,467 --> 01:24:45,869
into many languages.
1596
01:24:46,035 --> 01:24:48,705
And out of confusion and fear,
1597
01:24:48,872 --> 01:24:50,840
they stopped building the tower
1598
01:24:51,007 --> 01:24:53,510
and dispersed
into what would become
1599
01:24:53,677 --> 01:24:55,345
the nations of the world.
1600
01:25:04,821 --> 01:25:06,790
It was within a few centuries
1601
01:25:06,990 --> 01:25:09,893
after Noah and
his family departed from the ark
1602
01:25:10,059 --> 01:25:13,297
that the people of
the world were of one language,
1603
01:25:13,497 --> 01:25:18,268
but today, there are over
7,000 languages in the world
1604
01:25:18,435 --> 01:25:21,538
which trace back
to an ancestral family group
1605
01:25:21,705 --> 01:25:23,607
that each belongs to.
1606
01:25:23,773 --> 01:25:27,744
For example, Italian
can be traced back to Latin,
1607
01:25:27,911 --> 01:25:30,113
its root language family.
1608
01:25:30,280 --> 01:25:32,716
However, when
linguists attempted
1609
01:25:32,882 --> 01:25:36,085
to trace the root language
families further upstream,
1610
01:25:36,253 --> 01:25:39,088
they encountered
a serious problem.
1611
01:25:39,256 --> 01:25:42,592
The language families would
eventually lead to dead ends,
1612
01:25:42,759 --> 01:25:45,795
otherwise known
as language isolates.
1613
01:25:45,962 --> 01:25:49,065
This directly contradicts
the merged root language
1614
01:25:49,233 --> 01:25:51,435
that evolutionists
were expecting to find
1615
01:25:51,601 --> 01:25:54,304
or what some
linguists theoretically call
1616
01:25:54,471 --> 01:25:56,773
the elusive
proto-world language.
1617
01:25:58,375 --> 01:26:01,144
Instead, what they find
are a bunch of languages
1618
01:26:01,311 --> 01:26:04,748
that seemed to have
emerged out of nowhere,
1619
01:26:04,914 --> 01:26:07,951
unless, of course, you factor
in the events that took place
1620
01:26:08,117 --> 01:26:09,453
at the Tower of Babel,
1621
01:26:11,054 --> 01:26:13,757
which provides
an incredible explanation
1622
01:26:13,923 --> 01:26:16,526
evolutionists refuse to accept.
1623
01:26:17,661 --> 01:26:19,429
Further still, consider
1624
01:26:19,596 --> 01:26:22,131
that when you trace
known languages on a map,
1625
01:26:22,299 --> 01:26:24,834
something very telling occurs.
1626
01:26:25,001 --> 01:26:27,271
Many of the earliest
languages trace back
1627
01:26:27,437 --> 01:26:29,306
to one location on Earth,
1628
01:26:29,473 --> 01:26:33,543
a place commonly referred to as
the cradle of civilization,
1629
01:26:34,411 --> 01:26:35,612
Mesopotamia.
1630
01:26:37,814 --> 01:26:39,449
And what's also revealing
1631
01:26:39,616 --> 01:26:41,985
is that the timeframe
of many languages
1632
01:26:42,151 --> 01:26:46,055
also trace back to that
approximate point in time,
1633
01:26:46,256 --> 01:26:49,493
which is just after
the flood and Tower of Babel
1634
01:26:49,659 --> 01:26:52,028
in the third millennium BC.
1635
01:26:52,195 --> 01:26:54,298
Furthermore, linguists believe
1636
01:26:54,464 --> 01:26:56,966
that approximately 94
proto-language families
1637
01:26:57,133 --> 01:26:58,968
should exist in theory,
1638
01:26:59,135 --> 01:27:02,972
and they also believe that this
number may lower over time
1639
01:27:03,139 --> 01:27:06,376
as more research
leads to more mergers.
1640
01:27:06,543 --> 01:27:11,047
By no coincidence, there are
approximately 70 people groups
1641
01:27:11,214 --> 01:27:13,249
in the biblical table of nations
1642
01:27:13,450 --> 01:27:17,186
recorded in the Bible around
the time of the Babel event.
1643
01:27:17,354 --> 01:27:21,090
What are the odds that the
estimated root language families
1644
01:27:21,291 --> 01:27:24,761
so closely reflect
the same number of the nations
1645
01:27:24,961 --> 01:27:28,665
the Bible lists at
the time of the Tower of Babel?
1646
01:27:29,666 --> 01:27:32,402
And what's more is
that these people groups
1647
01:27:32,569 --> 01:27:35,872
also have myths and
legends within their cultures
1648
01:27:36,039 --> 01:27:39,008
of both an ancient
flood that destroyed the world
1649
01:27:39,175 --> 01:27:43,780
and a time when their ancestors
attempted to build a tower.
1650
01:27:43,980 --> 01:27:45,615
These stories, of course, vary,
1651
01:27:45,815 --> 01:27:48,918
but the core
elements tend to remain intact,
1652
01:27:49,085 --> 01:27:52,456
with the Cherokee and
other Native American tribes
1653
01:27:52,656 --> 01:27:55,692
even including that
their language was once changed
1654
01:27:55,859 --> 01:27:58,194
much earlier in history,
1655
01:27:58,362 --> 01:28:00,797
as only one example of hundreds.
1656
01:28:02,399 --> 01:28:05,569
In like fashion,
human genetics also reveal
1657
01:28:05,735 --> 01:28:08,271
a similar
pattern to the languages,
1658
01:28:08,438 --> 01:28:12,576
as the genes extracted
from over 100 human remains
1659
01:28:12,742 --> 01:28:15,379
from the so-called
Bronze Age era revealed
1660
01:28:15,545 --> 01:28:17,747
that the further
back in time you go,
1661
01:28:17,914 --> 01:28:21,150
the less
genetic mixing there was,
1662
01:28:21,351 --> 01:28:25,622
with their data showing
relatively unmixed genetic
lineages
1663
01:28:25,789 --> 01:28:26,990
around the time of Babel,
1664
01:28:28,358 --> 01:28:30,894
which, of course,
is no coincidence.
1665
01:28:31,628 --> 01:28:35,499
Only God's supernatural
intervention can explain
1666
01:28:35,699 --> 01:28:38,301
the multifaceted
bottleneck we see
1667
01:28:38,468 --> 01:28:40,404
across so many
fields of science.
1668
01:28:40,570 --> 01:28:43,172
It was at this
event that God changed
1669
01:28:43,373 --> 01:28:46,275
the entire course of
human history once again.
1670
01:28:46,443 --> 01:28:48,311
It was also after Babel
1671
01:28:48,478 --> 01:28:50,680
that God
instituted human government.
1672
01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:54,418
And at a time when
nationalism is being attacked
1673
01:28:54,584 --> 01:28:57,320
by those wishing to establish
a one-world government,
1674
01:28:57,487 --> 01:28:59,255
it is important to remember
1675
01:28:59,423 --> 01:29:03,159
that it was God who divided
the world into nations.
1676
01:29:03,326 --> 01:29:07,497
It was God who was against
the man-centered godless society
1677
01:29:07,664 --> 01:29:09,633
mankind was
beginning to fashion.
1678
01:29:09,799 --> 01:29:12,101
And as any
historian will tell you,
1679
01:29:12,268 --> 01:29:15,772
history has a way
of repeating itself.
1680
01:29:17,974 --> 01:29:20,610
When we come
to the story of Noah's Ark,
1681
01:29:20,777 --> 01:29:22,145
it's more than just a story.
1682
01:29:22,311 --> 01:29:24,280
It certainly is
a part of vital history.
1683
01:29:24,448 --> 01:29:26,049
There was an ancient world,
1684
01:29:26,249 --> 01:29:28,485
and that ancient
world, because of corruption,
1685
01:29:28,652 --> 01:29:30,554
was destroyed by a flood.
1686
01:29:30,754 --> 01:29:33,122
And that was the judgment
that was on mankind.
1687
01:29:33,289 --> 01:29:34,558
Since man is not changed,
1688
01:29:34,758 --> 01:29:36,560
there is yet
a future judgment coming.
1689
01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:39,028
It'll be just as
it was in the days of Noah.
1690
01:29:39,195 --> 01:29:41,197
They'll be giving
and taking in marriage.
1691
01:29:41,364 --> 01:29:43,467
They were having families.
They were doing their work.
1692
01:29:43,633 --> 01:29:45,301
They were just
living life as normal.
1693
01:29:45,469 --> 01:29:48,171
They didn't believe
the judgment was coming.
1694
01:29:48,337 --> 01:29:51,708
The flood did come,
and people were not ready.
1695
01:29:51,875 --> 01:29:54,243
Before the flood,
people were eating and drinking
1696
01:29:54,444 --> 01:29:56,045
and married and
given in marriage,
1697
01:29:56,212 --> 01:29:59,248
with a total disregard
to the building of the ark,
1698
01:29:59,449 --> 01:30:02,351
to what was
being preached to them,
to all the things around them.
1699
01:30:02,519 --> 01:30:05,054
And Jesus says
just before He returns,
1700
01:30:05,221 --> 01:30:08,825
people will be in
rebellion, ignoring God,
1701
01:30:08,992 --> 01:30:11,895
just going on living their life
as if God doesn't exist.
1702
01:30:12,061 --> 01:30:16,666
They will be surprised when
Jesus comes and brings judgment.
1703
01:30:16,833 --> 01:30:18,201
There was
a judgment that happened,
1704
01:30:18,367 --> 01:30:19,569
and there's a judgment
that is coming,
1705
01:30:19,736 --> 01:30:20,870
and we need to be prepared.
1706
01:30:21,037 --> 01:30:22,672
The Bible does talk about
1707
01:30:22,839 --> 01:30:24,774
the last days, the end times.
1708
01:30:24,974 --> 01:30:27,276
Biblical evil, if you look
1709
01:30:27,477 --> 01:30:31,180
at all of the different
Old Testament accounts,
1710
01:30:31,347 --> 01:30:35,118
would be idolatry, witchcraft,
1711
01:30:35,318 --> 01:30:39,523
the occultism, demon
worship, and things like that
1712
01:30:39,689 --> 01:30:43,359
and the perversions
that go along with these things.
1713
01:30:43,527 --> 01:30:45,228
Public schools now
1714
01:30:45,394 --> 01:30:50,033
are teaching
against the idea of marriage.
1715
01:30:50,199 --> 01:30:53,570
They want to corrupt
the minds of innocent hearts
1716
01:30:53,737 --> 01:30:56,372
long before they've
even thought about sex,
1717
01:30:56,540 --> 01:30:59,475
at the earliest possible age.
Not just sexualized,
1718
01:30:59,676 --> 01:31:03,246
but sexualized in terms of
all possible forms of deviation.
1719
01:31:03,412 --> 01:31:05,815
Of course, we have
the plague of abortion,
1720
01:31:06,015 --> 01:31:07,751
the sins of Moloch,
1721
01:31:08,752 --> 01:31:10,754
the burning of children,
1722
01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:13,489
the plague of sex trafficking,
1723
01:31:13,690 --> 01:31:15,725
and the exploitation
of the vulnerable.
1724
01:31:15,892 --> 01:31:19,095
These things are the evils
and the darknesses of our age,
1725
01:31:19,262 --> 01:31:20,897
and they're
become more prevalent
1726
01:31:21,064 --> 01:31:23,967
and even
massively institutionalized.
1727
01:31:24,133 --> 01:31:25,468
It's a very good sign.
1728
01:31:25,635 --> 01:31:27,737
Not a good sign,
but an accurate sign
1729
01:31:27,904 --> 01:31:29,806
that we're in
the same kind of darkness
1730
01:31:29,973 --> 01:31:31,841
that was in the days of Noah.
1731
01:31:32,041 --> 01:31:34,578
And you see that we are
in that darkness now.
1732
01:31:34,744 --> 01:31:35,979
When's the Lord coming back?
1733
01:31:36,145 --> 01:31:37,947
The Bible says
that nobody knows,
1734
01:31:38,114 --> 01:31:41,618
but when it comes, everyone's
gonna know all at once,
1735
01:31:41,785 --> 01:31:43,519
like lightning across the sky.
1736
01:31:43,720 --> 01:31:45,955
And I tell you,
I want to be on the right side.
1737
01:31:46,122 --> 01:31:48,992
Who doesn't like being on
the winning team at the end?
1738
01:31:49,158 --> 01:31:51,861
I know in this
case, it's especially vital
1739
01:31:52,061 --> 01:31:53,262
in the eternity sense.
1740
01:31:53,429 --> 01:31:56,265
Eternity is a timeless thing.
1741
01:31:56,432 --> 01:31:58,301
We don't understand infinity,
1742
01:31:58,467 --> 01:32:00,103
but we do know it's permanent.
1743
01:32:00,269 --> 01:32:04,507
The second coming is
a wonderful, wonderful image,
1744
01:32:04,674 --> 01:32:06,710
but it's also
a time of judgment.
1745
01:32:06,910 --> 01:32:09,378
It's also a time of finality.
1746
01:32:09,579 --> 01:32:12,315
It's also a time of justice.
1747
01:32:12,481 --> 01:32:17,553
Just as the flood came suddenly,
1748
01:32:17,754 --> 01:32:20,389
so the second coming
of Christ will be sudden.
1749
01:32:20,590 --> 01:32:22,792
Just as the flood was certain,
1750
01:32:22,959 --> 01:32:25,795
so the second
coming of Christ is certain
1751
01:32:25,962 --> 01:32:27,664
and will actually happen.
1752
01:32:27,831 --> 01:32:30,366
That judgment of
the flood is a warning
1753
01:32:30,533 --> 01:32:31,868
of the judgment to come.
1754
01:32:36,472 --> 01:32:39,208
Jesus Christ
is the most written of
1755
01:32:39,375 --> 01:32:43,079
and influential person
in all of world history.
1756
01:32:43,279 --> 01:32:46,182
But what has made so
many throughout the millennia
1757
01:32:46,349 --> 01:32:49,318
believe that He is
who He says He was,
1758
01:32:50,219 --> 01:32:52,689
God in human flesh,
1759
01:32:52,856 --> 01:32:55,191
the Savior of mankind,
1760
01:32:55,358 --> 01:32:58,094
the Messiah who was
prophesied of in the Bible?
1761
01:32:59,362 --> 01:33:03,199
You see, the Bible
is the only book on Earth
1762
01:33:03,366 --> 01:33:07,070
that has repeatedly
proved its inspiration of God
1763
01:33:07,236 --> 01:33:11,207
by virtue of telling
us the future in advance.
1764
01:33:11,374 --> 01:33:15,011
For example, around 626 BC,
1765
01:33:15,178 --> 01:33:18,882
Jeremiah the prophet predicted
Israel would be conquered,
1766
01:33:19,048 --> 01:33:22,786
Jerusalem and
the temple would be destroyed,
1767
01:33:22,986 --> 01:33:25,421
and the Babylonians
would rule over God's people,
1768
01:33:25,588 --> 01:33:28,591
taking them captive
into exile for 70 years.
1769
01:33:28,758 --> 01:33:32,261
And shortly after
his prophecy was written,
1770
01:33:32,428 --> 01:33:36,265
that's exactly what
happened around 587 BC.
1771
01:33:36,432 --> 01:33:38,134
Then there's Isaiah
1772
01:33:38,334 --> 01:33:42,638
who wrote that Babylon's
gates would open for Cyrus,
1773
01:33:42,839 --> 01:33:46,976
a king who wouldn't be
born for over 150 years.
1774
01:33:47,176 --> 01:33:49,645
And in 539 BC,
1775
01:33:49,846 --> 01:33:52,782
the formidable city's
gates were indeed opened
1776
01:33:52,949 --> 01:33:55,985
to a king named
Cyrus and his army.
1777
01:33:56,185 --> 01:33:59,622
And, as foretold,
Babylon was destroyed,
1778
01:33:59,789 --> 01:34:04,327
which both Jeremiah and
Isaiah prophesied would happen.
1779
01:34:04,527 --> 01:34:06,629
And then there's
the famous prophecy of Daniel
1780
01:34:06,796 --> 01:34:10,333
in which he predicted
the appearance of the Messiah,
1781
01:34:10,533 --> 01:34:12,401
claiming that He would come
1782
01:34:12,568 --> 01:34:17,506
483 years after a decree would
be made to rebuild Jerusalem,
1783
01:34:17,707 --> 01:34:22,078
which is exactly the time
in which Jesus appeared.
1784
01:34:22,245 --> 01:34:24,848
And when it comes
to Jesus fulfilling prophecies,
1785
01:34:25,048 --> 01:34:28,317
there are hundreds
concerning Him alone.
1786
01:34:28,484 --> 01:34:31,654
Scripture said that the Messiah
would be born in Bethlehem,
1787
01:34:31,821 --> 01:34:34,257
that the Christ
would live in Galilee.
1788
01:34:34,423 --> 01:34:37,326
He would teach parables,
be rejected by the rulers,
1789
01:34:37,493 --> 01:34:39,996
be betrayed for
30 pieces of silver.
1790
01:34:40,163 --> 01:34:42,531
And it was even prophesied
that He would be crucified,
1791
01:34:42,732 --> 01:34:44,467
not stoned to death,
1792
01:34:44,633 --> 01:34:49,138
at a time when crucifixion
hadn't even yet been invented.
1793
01:34:49,305 --> 01:34:53,542
Furthermore, there are other
prophecies much like Daniel's
1794
01:34:53,743 --> 01:34:57,146
that also tell us
the timeline of the Messiah.
1795
01:34:58,147 --> 01:34:59,783
His birth had to happen
1796
01:34:59,949 --> 01:35:02,952
before the scepter
of Judah departed,
1797
01:35:03,753 --> 01:35:06,489
while the temple
was still standing,
1798
01:35:06,655 --> 01:35:09,492
but before
it would be destroyed.
1799
01:35:10,326 --> 01:35:12,796
And very notably, He had to come
1800
01:35:12,962 --> 01:35:16,199
while genealogical
records still existed
1801
01:35:16,365 --> 01:35:20,469
to prove His lineage
was of the line of David.
1802
01:35:20,636 --> 01:35:22,071
Those records perished
1803
01:35:22,271 --> 01:35:24,874
when the temple
was destroyed in 70 AD.
1804
01:35:25,374 --> 01:35:28,744
Strikingly,
Jesus Christ walked the Earth
1805
01:35:28,945 --> 01:35:31,014
during exactly
the critical period
1806
01:35:31,180 --> 01:35:35,518
when a multitude of prophecies
about the Messiah converged.
1807
01:35:35,684 --> 01:35:39,688
You see, Jesus warned
us that in the last days,
1808
01:35:39,856 --> 01:35:42,558
the time we are
now on the threshold of,
1809
01:35:42,725 --> 01:35:45,328
there would come a false messiah
1810
01:35:45,494 --> 01:35:47,230
who would deceive
many into believing
1811
01:35:47,396 --> 01:35:50,166
that he is
the one prophesied about.
1812
01:35:50,333 --> 01:35:54,871
Scripture refers to this
false messiah as the antichrist.
1813
01:35:56,139 --> 01:35:57,773
The Bible says
1814
01:35:57,974 --> 01:36:01,577
that during this short
period of time soon to come,
1815
01:36:01,744 --> 01:36:04,580
the antichrist and
his system of governance
1816
01:36:04,747 --> 01:36:06,282
will rise to power.
1817
01:36:06,482 --> 01:36:08,684
Much like what
happened at the Tower of Babel,
1818
01:36:08,852 --> 01:36:10,954
this singular entity will rule
1819
01:36:11,154 --> 01:36:14,423
with nationalism in
many places being abolished
1820
01:36:14,590 --> 01:36:16,425
as their sovereignty
will collapse
1821
01:36:16,592 --> 01:36:19,395
into a single
system of total control.
1822
01:36:20,663 --> 01:36:22,231
"Many who don't
think and believe,"
1823
01:36:22,398 --> 01:36:23,867
as the antichrist declares,
1824
01:36:24,033 --> 01:36:26,769
"will not be
able to buy or sell.
1825
01:36:26,936 --> 01:36:28,804
Many will be put to death."
1826
01:36:29,372 --> 01:36:32,741
Today, a mass global
awakening is transpiring
1827
01:36:32,909 --> 01:36:35,611
where individuals
irrespective of politics
1828
01:36:35,778 --> 01:36:39,315
discern the burgeoning
antichrist-like infrastructure
1829
01:36:39,515 --> 01:36:41,317
that is developing
all around them,
1830
01:36:41,517 --> 01:36:45,488
with many recognizing
that the plagues, famines, wars,
1831
01:36:45,688 --> 01:36:47,456
hyperinflation, lawlessness,
1832
01:36:47,623 --> 01:36:50,493
and acts of nature
prophesied of in the Bible
1833
01:36:50,693 --> 01:36:53,963
are appearing to be
orchestrated by design,
1834
01:36:54,130 --> 01:36:56,165
a deliberate transition,
1835
01:36:56,365 --> 01:36:59,835
as we are on the cusp
of a satanic rise of power,
1836
01:37:00,036 --> 01:37:02,438
a time the Bible calls
1837
01:37:02,605 --> 01:37:04,307
the Great Tribulation.
1838
01:37:05,074 --> 01:37:07,010
It's a time in which God
will focus His attention
1839
01:37:07,210 --> 01:37:08,611
back on Israel,
1840
01:37:08,777 --> 01:37:11,447
specifically as
Israel is at the center
1841
01:37:11,614 --> 01:37:13,182
of many of
the biblical prophecies
1842
01:37:13,382 --> 01:37:15,484
which have yet to be fulfilled.
1843
01:37:15,651 --> 01:37:17,653
Even now, we can already see
1844
01:37:17,820 --> 01:37:20,156
one such
prophecy found in Zechariah
1845
01:37:20,323 --> 01:37:23,192
in which God said
that in the last days,
1846
01:37:23,392 --> 01:37:26,495
He would make
Israel a nation of distress
1847
01:37:26,662 --> 01:37:28,864
to all the nations
surrounding it.
1848
01:37:29,065 --> 01:37:31,334
Incredible
insight when considering
1849
01:37:31,500 --> 01:37:35,371
that such a small spot
on Earth will be at the center
1850
01:37:35,571 --> 01:37:37,673
of a coming global war.
1851
01:37:40,409 --> 01:37:45,381
And as the climactic end to
God's prophetic plans draw near,
1852
01:37:45,581 --> 01:37:50,053
the Lord's return and
Israel's redemption lie ahead.
1853
01:37:50,253 --> 01:37:51,955
Out of profound love,
1854
01:37:52,121 --> 01:37:55,959
God postponed His Son's
return for earthly judgment.
1855
01:37:56,125 --> 01:37:59,528
You see, mankind are all guilty
1856
01:37:59,695 --> 01:38:02,565
of committing
terrible sins before a holy God.
1857
01:38:02,765 --> 01:38:04,467
If each person were to give
1858
01:38:04,633 --> 01:38:07,570
an individual account unto God
on their own merit,
1859
01:38:07,770 --> 01:38:10,373
they would certainly
face a terrible judgment.
1860
01:38:11,774 --> 01:38:13,142
But here's the good news.
1861
01:38:14,043 --> 01:38:17,413
God's masterful plan,
as unveiled in Corinthians,
1862
01:38:17,613 --> 01:38:19,482
reveals that while humanity
1863
01:38:19,648 --> 01:38:22,251
collectively
inherited condemnation
1864
01:38:22,451 --> 01:38:25,254
through one man's
disobedience, Adam,
1865
01:38:25,454 --> 01:38:28,891
they can now find
forgiveness and salvation
1866
01:38:29,058 --> 01:38:32,861
through the obedience
of one man, Jesus Christ.
1867
01:38:33,029 --> 01:38:36,732
If one man can bring
death to all through his sin,
1868
01:38:36,899 --> 01:38:41,204
then it follows that a sinless
man can bring life to all
1869
01:38:41,370 --> 01:38:43,239
through His obedience.
1870
01:38:43,406 --> 01:38:46,675
Thankfully,
God in His wisdom and mercy
1871
01:38:46,842 --> 01:38:49,212
has given us
a simple and easy way
1872
01:38:49,378 --> 01:38:51,680
to be justified in His sight,
1873
01:38:51,847 --> 01:38:53,782
and that is through His Son,
1874
01:38:54,750 --> 01:38:56,452
Jesus Christ.
1875
01:39:00,323 --> 01:39:05,128
The Bible tells us that God
created a perfect world.
1876
01:39:05,328 --> 01:39:07,230
Adam sinned,
1877
01:39:07,396 --> 01:39:08,931
and because of Adam's sin,
1878
01:39:09,098 --> 01:39:10,899
we are all born sinners,
1879
01:39:11,067 --> 01:39:12,735
but we also choose to sin.
1880
01:39:12,901 --> 01:39:14,737
We choose to rebel against God.
1881
01:39:14,903 --> 01:39:18,441
Every one of us has
broken the Ten Commandments
1882
01:39:18,607 --> 01:39:21,610
in thought or word or deed,
1883
01:39:21,777 --> 01:39:23,646
through
the evil that we have done
1884
01:39:23,846 --> 01:39:26,049
or the good
that we have failed to do,
1885
01:39:26,215 --> 01:39:29,152
through ignorance,
through weakness,
1886
01:39:29,352 --> 01:39:31,654
or through
our own deliberate fault.
1887
01:39:31,854 --> 01:39:33,722
We're all guilty before God.
1888
01:39:33,889 --> 01:39:36,292
We all deserve His judgment.
1889
01:39:36,459 --> 01:39:38,161
And the Bible says in Romans
1890
01:39:38,361 --> 01:39:41,764
that the wages of sin or
the penalty of sin is death.
1891
01:39:41,930 --> 01:39:45,268
And so God sent
His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ,
1892
01:39:45,434 --> 01:39:47,070
to die on the cross
1893
01:39:47,236 --> 01:39:51,807
to take the wrath of God
for us, pay the penalty for sin,
1894
01:39:51,974 --> 01:39:53,509
and then He rose from the dead,
1895
01:39:53,709 --> 01:39:55,911
proving that He had
paid that penalty,
1896
01:39:56,079 --> 01:39:57,513
that He had conquered death,
1897
01:39:57,713 --> 01:39:59,515
and that He could
give us eternal life.
1898
01:39:59,715 --> 01:40:04,420
We need to respond to what
Jesus has done, every one of us.
1899
01:40:04,587 --> 01:40:06,489
No one can respond for us.
1900
01:40:06,655 --> 01:40:10,193
We must each
personally acknowledge to God
1901
01:40:10,393 --> 01:40:11,994
that we have sinned against Him,
1902
01:40:12,161 --> 01:40:13,996
that we deserve His judgment,
1903
01:40:14,163 --> 01:40:16,799
and then put
our trust in Jesus Christ
1904
01:40:16,965 --> 01:40:19,102
as our Savior and our Lord.
1905
01:40:19,268 --> 01:40:21,937
And when we do
that, we're forgiven.
1906
01:40:22,105 --> 01:40:25,341
We're restored to a right
relationship with God,
1907
01:40:25,508 --> 01:40:27,643
to a personal
relationship with God,
1908
01:40:27,810 --> 01:40:29,812
and we're given
the gift of eternal life.
1909
01:40:29,978 --> 01:40:32,548
We've heard that the Ark of Noah
1910
01:40:32,748 --> 01:40:36,819
was an ark constructed
for the salvation of mankind.
1911
01:40:36,985 --> 01:40:40,223
It had one door in it,
and that was a single entrance.
1912
01:40:40,423 --> 01:40:42,825
That was done by design.
1913
01:40:42,991 --> 01:40:45,894
God also only has
one way of salvation.
1914
01:40:46,095 --> 01:40:48,231
That way of salvation in the ark
1915
01:40:48,431 --> 01:40:49,698
was to preserve them
through God's judgment,
1916
01:40:49,865 --> 01:40:51,667
which was the flood.
1917
01:40:51,834 --> 01:40:54,503
And someone had to trust in God
1918
01:40:54,670 --> 01:40:56,672
and accept Him and come His way,
1919
01:40:56,839 --> 01:40:58,374
which was that
one way into the ark,
1920
01:40:58,541 --> 01:41:00,209
in order to be saved.
1921
01:41:00,376 --> 01:41:03,379
The real problem for us
is not the one way to God.
1922
01:41:03,546 --> 01:41:05,981
It's God.
It's that we're wanting to come
1923
01:41:06,149 --> 01:41:10,052
to someone who now
tells us what we need.
1924
01:41:10,219 --> 01:41:12,188
We need His salvation.
1925
01:41:12,355 --> 01:41:14,757
Tells us we're sinners,
which we don't want to hear.
1926
01:41:14,957 --> 01:41:17,025
Tells us we need
to depend upon Him.
1927
01:41:17,193 --> 01:41:20,163
And I think ultimately,
all of us deep down realize
1928
01:41:20,329 --> 01:41:21,930
we are not what we should be,
1929
01:41:22,131 --> 01:41:23,666
that there is a God
who made all these things.
1930
01:41:23,832 --> 01:41:25,568
We certainly didn't do it.
1931
01:41:25,734 --> 01:41:28,604
All the creation, all
the irreducible complexities,
1932
01:41:28,804 --> 01:41:30,406
all the things that exist
1933
01:41:30,573 --> 01:41:32,675
simply argue there is a creator.
1934
01:41:32,841 --> 01:41:34,577
If that's the case,
then we're creatures.
1935
01:41:34,743 --> 01:41:36,545
And what better
place for the creature
1936
01:41:36,712 --> 01:41:38,347
than in a relationship
with the creator?
1937
01:41:38,514 --> 01:41:40,716
The creator made
that possible by Himself
1938
01:41:40,883 --> 01:41:43,186
going through all
the things that we go through,
1939
01:41:43,352 --> 01:41:45,020
but ultimately
dying in our place
1940
01:41:45,188 --> 01:41:47,055
because that's
what our sin deserved.
1941
01:41:47,223 --> 01:41:49,558
Jesus Himself said,
in John 14:6, He said,
1942
01:41:49,725 --> 01:41:52,795
"I am the way,
I am the truth, I am the life,
1943
01:41:52,995 --> 01:41:56,098
and no one comes to the Father
except through Me."
1944
01:41:56,265 --> 01:42:00,803
So if we come to the one
who is God in the flesh,
1945
01:42:01,003 --> 01:42:02,938
the one who came
to provide redemption for us
1946
01:42:03,105 --> 01:42:05,408
and we trust Him
and take Him at His word,
1947
01:42:05,574 --> 01:42:07,109
He says, "I will save you.
1948
01:42:07,276 --> 01:42:09,312
That's the way
to God, and I'm the way.
1949
01:42:09,512 --> 01:42:13,148
Come to me and you have all
that was promised in the Bible,
1950
01:42:13,349 --> 01:42:16,952
eternal life,
a relationship with God."
1951
01:42:17,119 --> 01:42:19,955
And everything that beyond
what we can even imagine
1952
01:42:20,122 --> 01:42:21,224
in this life,
1953
01:42:21,390 --> 01:42:22,991
there's a whole life yet to come
1954
01:42:23,192 --> 01:42:25,127
that God has
promised to those who love Him.
1955
01:42:33,035 --> 01:42:35,170
2.000 years ago,
1956
01:42:35,371 --> 01:42:39,174
God the Father
sent His Son to the world
1957
01:42:39,375 --> 01:42:42,110
to usher in a new era
1958
01:42:42,278 --> 01:42:44,980
of righteousness and peace.
1959
01:42:46,449 --> 01:42:48,984
But they rejected
the true Messiah.
1960
01:42:49,985 --> 01:42:52,154
They hated the very one
1961
01:42:52,321 --> 01:42:54,490
whom the Bible says
1962
01:42:54,657 --> 01:42:55,858
created love,
1963
01:42:57,660 --> 01:42:58,527
joy,
1964
01:42:59,428 --> 01:43:00,696
beauty,
1965
01:43:01,797 --> 01:43:03,165
and life itself.
1966
01:43:05,234 --> 01:43:07,970
They took and crucified Him
1967
01:43:08,136 --> 01:43:12,675
in the very place He was to
establish His glorious kingdom.
1968
01:43:13,909 --> 01:43:16,044
But God the Father
1969
01:43:16,245 --> 01:43:18,781
raised Him from the dead
1970
01:43:18,947 --> 01:43:21,149
and made His sacrifice
1971
01:43:21,317 --> 01:43:23,286
the salvation for many.
1972
01:43:23,452 --> 01:43:25,321
For Jesus Christ
1973
01:43:25,488 --> 01:43:27,290
is the light of the world,
1974
01:43:28,624 --> 01:43:30,058
and in Him
1975
01:43:30,259 --> 01:43:31,360
is no darkness.
