0001  00:00:00:00  00:00:03:10  Seminar 1a - Dr. Kent Hovind - www.drdino.com - English

0002  00:00:03:10  00:00:05:07  Have you ever thought about it?

0003  00:00:05:07  00:00:07:77  I mean really, what is the purpose to life?

0004  00:00:07:77  00:00:11:30  Why are we here? Where did we come from?

0005  00:00:11:30  00:00:14:57  For that matter, where are we going to go when this life is over?

0006  00:00:14:57  00:00:17:37  This seminar talks about the age of the earth.

0007  00:00:17:37  00:00:21:87  Dr. Hovind gives solid evidence to show that this earth is not billions of years old.

0008  00:00:21:87  00:00:25:27  In fact, the evidence points towards a literal six-day creation.

0009  00:00:25:27  00:00:27:60  Just like we're told about in Genesis chapter one.

0010  00:00:27:60  00:00:31:93  Hi, my name is Eric, and we hope you enjoy this incredibly powerful seminar.

0011  00:00:31:93  00:00:37:53  It is presented by Dr. Hovind. It's called "The Age of the Earth."

0012  00:00:37:57  00:00:42:20  Seminar 1a - Dr. Kent Hovind - www.drdino.com - English

0013  00:00:42:20  00:00:49:67  "The Age of the Earth" - Seminar #1a - Dr. Kent E. Hovind

0014  00:00:49:67  00:00:52:77  Well, it is an honor to be here tonight in Tennessee. My name is Kent Hovind.

0015  00:00:52:77  00:01:00:57  I taught high school science for 15 years, and now for 16 years I have been an evangelist doing seminars on creation, evolution, and dinosaurs.

0016  00:01:00:57  00:01:08:57  And I tell people right up front that I believe the Bible is the infallible, inspired, inerrant Word of the Living God.

0017  00:01:08:57  00:01:11:93  I believe it from cover to cover. I even believe the cover on mine; it says: Kent Hovind.

0018  00:01:11:93  00:01:16:37  And for those who don't know, the Bible is your Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.

0019  00:01:16:37  00:01:21:00  You really ought to read the book because you are going to be gone for an awfully long time.

0020  00:01:21:03  00:01:25:47  And when you leave here, there is no coming back, so make sure you are going to the right spot.

0021  00:01:25:47  00:01:32:60  Now, one of my jobs as a Christian is "to be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh a reason of the hope that is in us."

0022  00:01:32:60  00:01:37:73  I think in the last few hundred years the Christians have not done a good job of answering this evolution theory.

0023  00:01:37:73  00:01:41:40  And we've tolerated this philosophy of evolution which is actually a religion.

0024  00:01:41:40  00:01:45:13  We have allowed this religion to take over our school system and our legal system.

0025  00:01:45:13  00:01:51:27  Our whole thinking process now is based on a philosophy which has zero scientific evidence. None!

0026  00:01:51:27  00:01:56:00  We've been offering $250,000 for anybody with any real scientific evidence for evolution.

0027  00:01:56:00  00:01:58:60  That offer has been out there for 12 years now.

0028  00:01:58:60  00:02:00:07  There is no real scientific evidence for it whatsoever.

0029  00:02:00:07  00:02:02:93  People believe in it, I understand; but that doesn't make it science.

0030  00:02:02:93  00:02:04:83  Now, there are three things I try to accomplish in my seminar.

0031  00:02:04:83  00:02:07:17  Number one, I want to strengthen your faith in the Word of God.

0032  00:02:07:17  00:02:10:67  Number two, if you are not saved I want to try to get you converted.

0033  00:02:10:67  00:02:15:43  I'll tell you right up front, I am after you. I am not sneaking up on you - I am after you! All right?

0034  00:02:15:43  00:02:19:57  Number three, if you are saved and you are not doing much for the Lord,

0035  00:02:19:57  00:02:21:33  ... then I am going to try to make you uncomfortable. All right?

0036  00:02:21:33  00:02:23:70  You know where we are going now.

0037  00:02:23:70  00:02:30:10  OK, this is not my wife. That's just a picture of her.

0038  00:02:30:13  00:02:37:17  Last summer was our 31st anniversary and we sat down to figure out how much money we have spent since we got married.

0039  00:02:37:17  00:02:41:03  We have spent all of it.

0040  00:02:41:03  00:02:43:27  We live in Pensacola, Florida - or what's left of it.

0041  00:02:43:27  00:02:46:10  Hurricane Ivan about blew it off the map.

0042  00:02:46:10  00:02:47:80  But we are having a good time rebuilding down there.

0043  00:02:47:80  00:02:53:57  I have three children, one of each. And I got them all married off and the dog died, so I made it. Praise God.

0044  00:02:53:57  00:02:55:80  I am home free; it is wonderful.

0045  00:02:55:80  00:02:59:90  And for those who don't know, we now have the whole family working in the ministry, and I have four grandkids so far.

0046  00:02:59:90  00:03:05:97  And for those that don't understand this, grandkids are God's reward for not killing your own kids when you thought about it.

0047  00:03:05:97  00:03:08:10  How many have already figured that out? That's great, isn't it?

0048  00:03:08:10  00:03:10:67  All of them live right around me and work in our ministry; they all want to serve God with their lives.

0049  00:03:10:67  00:03:15:30  That is worth something to somebody.

0050  00:03:15:30  00:03:21:03  We have about 40 people in our ministry, and we want to do things that will help strengthen your faith in God's Word.

0051  00:03:21:07  00:03:23:70  We want to change people's worldview.

0052  00:03:23:70  00:03:29:03  There are two ways to look at this world. That's called your worldview. How do you view this world?

0053  00:03:29:03  00:03:32:70  Some people look at the world one way, and some look at it another way. We'll talk about that in a minute.

0054  00:03:32:70  00:03:36:70  But the way you view the world determines how you answer the four great questions of life.

0055  00:03:36:70  00:03:41:37  There are four fundamental questions that every single religion on planet earth tries to answer.

0056  00:03:41:40  00:03:46:80  Who am I? Where did I come from? Why am I here? And where am I going when I die?

0057  00:03:46:80  00:03:51:60  The way you answer those questions is totally determined by your worldview.

0058  00:03:51:60  00:03:59:33  Some people look at the world and say, "You know, it's amazing - a big bang made this from nothing." That's the humanist worldview, based on the evolution theory.

0059  00:03:59:33  00:04:08:23  Other people look at theworld and say, "You know, there is an incredible design - there must be a Designer!" That's the creationist worldview, based on creation.

0060  00:04:08:27  00:04:13:57  And those two worldviews are at war with each other. Somebody is wrong, and I enjoy showing them who they are.

0061  00:04:13:57  00:04:15:83  I've done a lot of debates, over 90.

0062  00:04:15:83  00:04:20:63  92 debates now I've done at the universities; one here at U.T. Knoxville against Dr. Pigliuchi.

0063  00:04:20:63  00:04:24:93  I've debated him twice; I will be glad to do it again. I don't think he will, but I would be honored.

0064  00:04:24:93  00:04:32:23  The guys I debate are a lot smarter that I am, but I slaughter them because I am right and they are wrong. It's real simple.

0065  00:04:32:23  00:04:36:67  But if the evolution theory is true, how would you answer the four great questions of life?

0066  00:04:36:67  00:04:40:07  Who am I, and what am I worth?

0067  00:04:40:10  00:04:44:40  Well, if evolution is true, you are nothing important.

0068  00:04:44:40  00:04:48:63  You are just a piece of protoplasm that washed up on the beach; you are not worth a thing.

0069  00:04:48:63  00:04:56:17  Actually you are part of the problem. You see, because you are one of the polluters of the environment, and the more of you we can get rid of, the better.

0070  00:04:56:17  00:04:59:70  See, that's normal thinking if evolution is true.

0071  00:04:59:70  00:05:01:73  Where did I come from?

0072  00:05:01:73  00:05:07:30  Well, if evolution is true, you came from a cosmic burp about 20 billion years ago.

0073  00:05:07:30  00:05:10:50  Why am I here? What's the purpose of life?

0074  00:05:10:50  00:05:16:67  Well, if evolution is true, there is no purpose to life, so you might as well have fun. If it feels good, do it.

0075  00:05:16:67  00:05:19:10  Where am I going when I die?

0076  00:05:19:10  00:05:25:07  Well, if evolution is true, you are going to the grave and you are going to get recycled into a worm, or a plant.

0077  00:05:25:07  00:05:28:83  But see, the Bible says: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

0078  00:05:28:83  00:05:33:60  Now if that's true, that puts a whole different set of answers to those questions.

0079  00:05:33:60  00:05:43:00  That means we had better try to figure out who God is and find out what He wants and do what He says. Because He created this place, which means He owns it,  He makes the rules.

0080  00:05:43:00  00:05:48:97  We had better find out what He wants. And if you are not obeying His rules, you may be in trouble one of these days.

0081  00:05:48:97  00:05:50:87  We'll get into more about that later.

0082  00:05:50:90  00:05:55:57  The devil doesn't like this idea that God created the earth. The devil came to Eve in the Garden of Eden.

0083  00:05:55:57  00:06:01:83  The first thing he said to the woman was, Eve, hath God said...? "Yea, hath God said?"

0084  00:06:01:83  00:06:07:27  He is trying to raise doubts about God's Word.

0085  00:06:07:30  00:06:09:90  Satan always tries to raise doubts about God's Word.

0086  00:06:09:90  00:06:16:73  That is one of the reasons that we've got all this confusion on different Bible versions.

0087  00:06:16:73  00:06:18:27  We cover more on that in video #7.

0088  00:06:18:27  00:06:22:63  The second thing he said to the woman was, "Ye shall not surely die."

0089  00:06:22:67  00:06:24:87  He is calling God a liar, basically.

0090  00:06:24:90  00:06:28:17  The third thing he said to Eve is what I want to talk to you about tonight.

0091  00:06:28:17  00:06:34:17  He said, Eve, if you eat off of that tree, ye shall be as gods.

0092  00:06:34:17  00:06:38:43  And right there is where the whole idea of evolution got started.

0093  00:06:38:43  00:06:42:57  It didn't start with Charlie Darwin; it started with Satan in the Garden of Eden.

0094  00:06:42:57  00:06:45:07  He wants you to think you can become a god.

0095  00:06:45:07  00:06:50:27  Yes, boys and girls, we started like an amoeba, and we are evolving. We are getting bigger and better and stronger and smarter...

0096  00:06:50:27  00:06:57:17  ...and some day we are going to sail around the universe and discover new life-forms, like "Star Trek."

0097  00:06:57:17  00:07:01:83  People ask me all the time, they say, "Hovind, do you think there is intelligent life on other planets?"

0098  00:07:01:83  00:07:12:97  I say, "No, I taught high school 15 years; there is not much intelligent life on this planet!" I didn't get to see a whole lot of it.

0099  00:07:12:97  00:07:15:87  Satan's a liar. He said that you can be like God. I tell you what, the Mormon Church has swallowed that.

0100  00:07:15:87  00:07:26:37  They teach their people that if you are a good Mormon, when you go to heaven you get to become god. And if you're a good Mormon wife, when you go to heaven you get to be eternally pregnant, producing spirit babies.

0101  00:07:26:37  00:07:31:33  My wife doesn't want to go. She said, "That's not heaven, honey."

0102  00:07:31:33  00:07:35:83  But there are some great books to reach Mormons and a good Web site: www.utlm.org.

0103  00:07:35:83  00:07:38:27  If you want to reach Mormons, you ought to study that one.

0104  00:07:38:27  00:07:44:77  I was surprised to find out a couple of years ago some of the major Catholic theologians of the past have taught that man can become god.

0105  00:07:44:77  00:07:46:73  It is still in their catechism right now.

0106  00:07:46:73  00:07:51:43  Now most Catholics don't believe that, and they don't even realize some of their leaders have taught that.

0107  00:07:51:43  00:07:57:13  But even Kenneth Copeland said, "Adam, in the Garden of Eden, was god manifest in the flesh."

0108  00:07:57:13  00:08:00:60  He said, "You don't have a god in you; you are one."

0109  00:08:00:60  00:08:03:87  I am sorry, Kenneth, you are crazy about that, OK?

0110  00:08:03:87  00:08:08:17  Kenneth Hagan said, "The believers are called Christ; that's who we are, we are Christ."

0111  00:08:08:17  00:08:12:33  No, you are crazy. The job is not available, and you couldn't do it if you had it.

0112  00:08:12:33  00:08:17:13  You are not God, all right? Nor are you Christ. Walk on water sometime; I want to see that.

0113  00:08:17:13  00:08:19:37  Lucifer is the one who wants to be God.

0114  00:08:19:37  00:08:23:97  Lucifer said, "I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: ..."

0115  00:08:23:97  00:08:27:47  "I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north, ..."

0116  00:08:27:47  00:08:32:67  "...I will ascend above the heights of the clouds: I will be like the most High."

0117  00:08:32:67  00:08:38:00  See, Satan wants to be God. But the job is not available, so he is all upset about that.

0118  00:08:38:03  00:08:44:67  Since he can't be God, he lied to Eve and told her she could be like God.

0119  00:08:44:67  00:08:49:33  Satan hates us, though, because we are made in God's image.

0120  00:08:49:33  00:08:53:73  And boy, Eve fell for that hook, line, and sinker. "Wow, I get to be God!"

0121  00:08:53:73  00:09:02:87  Hitler said, "If you tell a lie long enough and loud enough and often enough, the people will believe it." He said they are more likely to believe a big lie than a small one.

0122  00:09:02:87  00:09:07:60  If you want to get somebody to believe a lie, you have to do it like my two big brothers did to me.

0123  00:09:07:60  00:09:13:57  I have two older brothers; they have always been older than I am. They still are today.

0124  00:09:13:57  00:09:17:40  When I was about six years old, I was raised in Peoria, Illinois.

0125  00:09:17:40  00:09:22:57  By the way, I know I am in Tennessee, but are there any more Yankees in the crowd? Any Yankees out there?

0126  00:09:22:57  00:09:26:80  Five, six, seven, OK. And how many Southerners do we have?

0127  00:09:26:80  00:09:28:23  Oooh!

0128  00:09:28:27  00:09:34:83  Well, just remember who won, if you would. I know, 'it ain't over yet, right?'

0129  00:09:34:83  00:09:36:93  But I was raised in East Peoria, Illinois, in the North.

0130  00:09:36:93  00:09:42:67  But I did move to Florida, as soon as I got smart enough to figure out that the South is going to rise again.

0131  00:09:42:70  00:09:45:30  But when I was about six years old, I came running in for breakfast one morning.

0132  00:09:45:30  00:09:51:50  I was the first one there for breakfast; so I got the last banana out of the bowl to put on my cereal.

0133  00:09:51:53  00:09:54:37  Well, a few minutes later my two big brothers came in.

0134  00:09:54:37  00:10:00:77  They said, "Hey, Kent, is that the last banana?" I said, "Yep, and I got it."

0135  00:10:00:77  00:10:04:33  How many of you have an older brother or sister?

0136  00:10:04:33  00:10:08:53  You know that wonderful feeling you get when you finally pull one over on them?

0137  00:10:08:57  00:10:10:83  Boy, that morning I had them, and I knew it.

0138  00:10:10:83  00:10:15:37  They wanted my banana. But big brothers do not beg little brothers for anything.

0139  00:10:15:40  00:10:20:40  They either beat them up and take it away by brute force, or they lie to them and trick them out of it somehow.

0140  00:10:20:43  00:10:25:63  So my brothers said, "Hey, Kent, do you know how bananas are made?"

0141  00:10:25:63  00:10:27:63  I said, "No."

0142  00:10:27:63  00:10:34:43  I was only six years old, and it's been proven in laboratory tests that the brain doesn't even start to grow until kids are 18 to 20.

0143  00:10:34:47  00:10:39:83  How many parents can verify that from raising kids? I said "No, how are bananas made?"

0144  00:10:39:83  00:10:48:43  And they said, "Well, down in the South America, they have these spiders that live up in the trees, and when they die all their legs fold up, and mold begins to grow on the dead spider legs."

0145  00:10:48:43  00:10:52:70  And a banana is really nothing but moldy spider legs."

0146  00:10:52:73  00:10:57:73  I said, "You guys are lying to me. You just want this banana because you know it's the last one."

0147  00:10:57:97  00:10:59:03  They said, "No brother, we are not lying.

0148  00:10:59:17  00:11:08:00  You cut that thing in half and look in the middle; you can still see the black spots where his legs were."

0149  00:11:08:00  00:11:12:83  I did not eat bananas for nearly three years after that.

0150  00:11:12:83  00:11:16:67  They lied to me. Have you ever been lied to before?

0151  00:11:16:67  00:11:20:23  I would not have believed the lie if it hadn't been for those black spots.

0152  00:11:20:23  00:11:24:17  See, if you want to get somebody to believe a lie, you have to mix it with some truth.

0153  00:11:24:17  00:11:32:70  That's a technique they have used for years to kill rats. You don't give the rat a bowl of poison. You give the rat a bowl of good food with a little poison mixed in.

0154  00:11:32:70  00:11:35:97  They are mixing two things together that really do not belong together.

0155  00:11:36:10  00:11:41:97  See, rat poison is 99.995% good food. That's how you trick them.

0156  00:11:41:97  00:11:44:97  They've done the same thing for years to sell Marlboro cigarettes.

0157  00:11:44:97  00:11:48:10  They mix them in with cowboys.

0158  00:11:48:10  00:11:51:97  You can watch any Marlboro commercial; there is something about a cowboy in there.

0159  00:11:52:00  00:11:53:63  Have you stopped and thought about that?

0160  00:11:53:63  00:12:03:43  What is the connection between smoking Marlboro and cowboys? Do all cowboys smoke Marlboro? No. Do you have to smoke to be a cowboy? No.

0161  00:12:03:43  00:12:08:67  If you start smoking Marlboro, do you become a cowboy automatically? No.

0162  00:12:08:67  00:12:11:80  You may smell like a horse, but you are not a cowboy. OK?

0163  00:12:11:80  00:12:15:67  Actually it has been proven in laboratory tests that nobody in the world smokes. Nobody smokes!

0164  00:12:15:67  00:12:24:47  Only the cigarette smokes; the person is the "sucker." That's all. I think they ought to put the real names on those things. We ought to have some truth in advertising.

0165  00:12:24:47  00:12:30:67  They should really be calling them: Cancerettes, Breath Rotters, By-pass, Malignant, Phlegm Balls, and Money Suckers.

0166  00:12:30:67  00:12:32:63  They do the same thing with beer.

0167  00:12:32:63  00:12:37:63  They try to associate beer with sports. What does beer have to do with sports?

0168  00:12:37:63  00:12:43:07  They get some big football player holding his can of Bud Dumber, or Bud Stupid.

0169  00:12:43:07  00:12:46:47  They call it "Budweiser"; it doesn't make them any wiser though, that's for sure.

0170  00:12:46:47  00:12:49:07  He's got some Bud Dumber, or Miller Low Life, or Dead Dog, whatever it is.

0171  00:12:49:07  00:12:53:33  He says, man, you drink this stuff, and you will be a football player. Yeah, right!

0172  00:12:53:37  00:12:56:40  The Bible says if you drink that stuff, you will wreck your life.

0173  00:12:56:40  00:12:59:30  "Who hath woe? Who hath wounds without cause?

0174  00:12:59:30  00:13:04:07  They that tarry long at the wine." The Bible says, don't even look at it when it gets fermented.

0175  00:13:04:07  00:13:11:50  Habakkuk says, "Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink." There is a lot in the Bible about not even touching that stuff.

0176  00:13:11:50  00:13:14:63  One kid said to me one time, "What's the matter, Hovind, don't you like beer?"

0177  00:13:14:63  00:13:22:80  I said, "I don't know. I have never tasted it. I am 52 years old, and I've never had a drop in my life!" (Well, I've had NyQuil a couple of times.)

0178  00:13:22:80  00:13:25:80  He said, "How do you know that you won't like it, if you don't try it?"

0179  00:13:25:80  00:13:28:10  I said, "Now son, that's a brilliant way to live your life."

0180  00:13:28:10  00:13:33:90  Let me ask you a question, son. Have you ever laid your head under a semi truck?

0181  00:13:33:93  00:13:36:63  Well, how do you know you won't like it if you don't try it?

0182  00:13:36:63  00:13:41:30  You don't have to try everything to figure out if it's good or bad.

0183  00:13:41:30  00:13:44:20  There are other ways to learn - like watching somebody else do it.

0184  00:13:44:20  00:13:47:20  Wow, don't do that; that will hurt.

0185  00:13:47:20  00:13:53:10  Like the redneck's famous last words: "Hey you all, watch this!"

0186  00:13:53:10  00:13:55:47  I like science, folks; I collect science books.

0187  00:13:55:47  00:13:59:87  There is a lot of good science in these books, but there is some poison mixed with it.

0188  00:13:59:87  00:14:02:53  It's kind of like the rat poison. It's not good food I am against, it's the poison!

0189  00:14:02:53  00:14:06:30  We like science. We have Dinosaur Adventure Land in Pensacola. Come on down and pay us a visit.

0190  00:14:06:30  00:14:08:97  It's a science center, a museum, and a theme park.

0191  00:14:08:97  00:14:11:50  All based on creation. We are having so much fun.

0192  00:14:11:50  00:14:14:27  We've had over 50,000 visitors now just in the first couple of years we've been open.

0193  00:14:14:27  00:14:18:47  There's lots of things to do down there.

0194  00:14:18:47  00:14:24:27  We have lots of things to play with. We collect skins and skulls of animals.

0195  00:14:24:27  00:14:30:40  So you hunters get out there, and send me Bambi's daddy's head if you want, for our museum.

0196  00:14:30:40  00:14:33:47  Everything we do has a science lesson and a spiritual lesson.

0197  00:14:33:47  00:14:35:70  We like science at our place. We have all kinds of fun things to do.

0198  00:14:35:70  00:14:39:47  John shot the T-rex and hung his head on the building right there.

0199  00:14:39:47  00:14:46:37  We have a museum, all based on creation. Also, there's a science center, with hands-on science lessons and spiritual lessons.

0200  00:14:46:37  00:14:49:50  As a matter of fact, we teach kids the scientific way to shoot a rubber band.

0201  00:14:49:50  00:14:53:47  I need a boy and a girl who would like to learn the scientific way to shoot a rubber band.

0202  00:14:53:47  00:14:59:77  Who would like to learn? OK, that boy right there, come up here. And one girl, let's get one girl, come on.

0203  00:14:59:77  00:15:02:33  Way back there. OK, hurry up, run!

0204  00:15:02:33  00:15:05:60  All right, the scientific way to shoot a rubber band.

0205  00:15:05:63  00:15:12:80  What's your name sir?... Josh, How old are you Josh?... I was ten for a whole year one time. That's amazing.

0206  00:15:12:80  00:15:17:67  I was supposed to be eleven but I was sick for three years when I was two and a half.

0207  00:15:17:67  00:15:20:87  And how old are you going to be when you are almost twelve? "Eleven."

0208  00:15:20:90  00:15:25:07  And how much does your mom pay you to be good?

0209  00:15:25:07  00:15:30:33  So you are good for nothing, and you are ten. Pick a rubber band out of here, Josh.

0210  00:15:30:33  00:15:33:17  OK, the brown one. And what's your name, ma'am? "Laura."

0211  00:15:33:17  00:15:34:57  Laura? Pick a rubber band out of there, Laura.

0212  00:15:34:57  00:15:37:13  You want the pink one of course; a girl one. OK.

0213  00:15:37:13  00:15:39:87  Here's what I want you to do, Josh and Laura.

0214  00:15:39:87  00:15:43:50  We are going to stand here and shoot a rubber band down the center aisle. Go ahead.

0215  00:15:43:50  00:15:45:97  That one won't work; that's a double one. Here, let me try it.

0216  00:15:45:97  00:15:48:90  Try an orange one, here. That's two tied together; I didn't see that.

0217  00:15:48:90  00:15:55:33  OK, Josh, shoot the rubber band down the center isle. Past the table; not too far.

0218  00:15:55:33  00:16:00:37  Laura, give it a try; come on. Oooh, three rows back.

0219  00:16:00:37  00:16:06:03  Now, watch carefully; I'm going to get down to the same size as you guys, and I am going to show the scientific way to shoot a rubber band.

0220  00:16:06:03  00:16:13:37  Are you ready for this? Now, I want you to notice that my fingers do not leave my hand at any time.

0221  00:16:13:37  00:16:16:17  You believe that? OK now, pay attention.

0222  00:16:16:17  00:16:24:17  See the guy sitting way in the back of the church? Ah, about three fourths of the way there.

0223  00:16:24:17  00:16:29:20  Probably, right about now you are thinking of a question that has five words in it.

0224  00:16:29:20  00:16:32:87  What question are you thinking of? How do you do that?

0225  00:16:32:87  00:16:35:43  See, I told you it had five words in it, right?

0226  00:16:35:43  00:16:39:03  Now, before I show you how to do this, I want to explain something.

0227  00:16:39:03  00:16:51:07  Some kids should not learn how to do some things, because they become what's known as a menace to society.

0228  00:16:51:07  00:16:56:37  Who's responsible for this kid right here? Where's your mom & dad? Is he safe with this information? Ha, ha. Mom says no!

0229  00:16:56:37  00:17:02:87  And who's responsible for this one here, where is... Nobody?

0230  00:17:02:87  00:17:06:43  Oh, back there. Did your husband come? No.

0231  00:17:06:43  00:17:10:53  OK now, pay attention- the scientific way to shoot a rubber band.

0232  00:17:10:53  00:17:14:70  There are two sides to a rubber band. Are you with me so far?

0233  00:17:14:70  00:17:19:63  One side represents your flesh, that's your body. And the other side represents your spirit.

0234  00:17:19:63  00:17:23:90  Now your spirit has to live in your flesh, or else you are dead.

0235  00:17:23:93  00:17:30:27  If your spirit ever leaves your flesh, you've got a real problem on your hands! (Actually the neighbors do.)

0236  00:17:30:27  00:17:36:40  But what most people do wrong in rubber band shooting, and in real life, is they put the same emphasis on the flesh and the spirit.

0237  00:17:36:40  00:17:45:33  See, if you pull both sides the same and let it fly, if you could watch it in slow motion, both sides are going

0238  00:17:45:33  00:17:51:43  And all the energy  is wasted inside the rubber band because the flesh and the spirit are fighting with each other.

0239  00:17:51:43  00:17:55:53  So, the secret to high-speed velocity through a fluid medium such as the atmosphere ...

0240  00:17:55:53  00:18:03:97  ... which offers resistance, is to minimize or eliminate the turbulence. OK?

0241  00:18:03:97  00:18:16:07  All I did when you guys weren't watching, was stretch one side tighter than the other. One side is tight.

0242  00:18:16:07  00:18:26:40  Now pay attention to what's going to happen. If you do it right, the spirit leads the flesh, takes away most of the turbulence, and it goes much farther.

0243  00:18:26:40  00:18:31:47  Got the guy in the back row! So when I am up here with a whole pile of rubber bands, ...

0244  00:18:31:47  00:18:37:17  ... knowing I can hit anybody in the room, it gives you this feeling of power ...

0245  00:18:37:17  00:18:40:47  ...that some kids really just don't know how to handle; do you know what I'm talking about?

0246  00:18:40:47  00:18:50:17  You are thinking about it right now, aren't you? Yes, I thought so. Let's give them a hand; have a seat, guys. Thank you so much.

0247  00:18:50:17  00:18:55:57  The Bible says, "the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, the Spirit against the flesh; they are contrary one to the other."

0248  00:18:55:57  00:19:00:87  This is why some of you won't go very far in your spiritual life. You feed the flesh too much.

0249  00:19:00:87  00:19:05:73  Shut off the TV once in a while...Simple. Wait until you see our super airplanes go.

0250  00:19:05:73  00:19:07:83  Tomorrow we are going to show you our super airplanes.

0251  00:19:07:83  00:19:15:97  I make paper airplanes that go so far, that if they don't land in a tree or on a building, they go all the way to the ground.

0252  00:19:15:97  00:19:19:07  Our record with the paper airplane is 450 feet.

0253  00:19:19:07  00:19:23:50  We are going to put them completely over the building including the steeple, tomorrow.

0254  00:19:23:50  00:19:28:57  We like science. We are not against science, but I am against poison mixed in with the science, That's all. Here is a first grade textbook.

0255  00:19:28:57  00:19:40:90  This is what they tell the kids in the first grade. Earth has changed much since its formation four and a half billion years ago. Now just hold on a minute.

0256  00:19:40:90  00:19:48:87  Is the earth four and a half billion years old? No, as we'll see in a minute. But if you tell that to a first grader, he's going to believe you.

0257  00:19:48:87  00:19:56:17  First graders believe everything you tell them. They believe bananas are moldy spider legs. I did.

0258  00:19:56:17  00:19:58:63  And they tell them again in the second grade.

0259  00:19:58:63  00:20:06:47  Since its formation 4.5 billion years ago, earth has changed. Down at the bottom it says: "Life too, has evolved on earth."

0260  00:20:06:47  00:20:09:87  This word "evolved" is a very tricky word.

0261  00:20:09:87  00:20:21:27  I've done over 90 debates and about 7,000 radio and TV call-in talk shows, and I've learned how to win the debate on evolution in the first five minutes.

0262  00:20:21:30  00:20:24:73  It is so easy. If somebody says, "Do you believe in evolution?" I say, "What do you mean?" "Well, you know, evolution."

0263  00:20:24:73  00:20:27:60  "No, which one are you talking about?" There are six meanings for the word. Are we talking about cosmic evolution- evolution of time, space, matter? I don't believe in that, with the big bang. We'll talk about that in a minute.

0264  00:20:27:60  00:20:41:97  Are we talking about chemical evolution? Because according to the big bang theory, the big bang produced hydrogen, and maybe some helium.

0265  00:20:41:97  00:20:48:50  Then how did we get all these other elements? Do you want me to believe uranium evolved from hydrogen?

0266  00:20:48:53  00:20:53:37  They'll say, well yes, you have fusion in stars. Yes, but you can't fuse past IRON (Fe) very well.

0267  00:20:53:37  00:21:00:80  Besides, you have a chicken and an egg problem here, because the stars have to make the elements, and the elements have to make the stars. Which one came first?

0268  00:21:00:83  00:21:04:87  Which brings up, of course, stellar evolution. How did the stars form?

0269  00:21:04:87  00:21:07:37  Did you know that nobody has ever seen a star form?

0270  00:21:07:37  00:21:14:90  Scientists don't even have a clue how a star could form- not even any good theories about star formation (more about that in video #7).

0271  00:21:14:90  00:21:24:47  We see stars blow up all the time. It's called a nova, or a super nova if it is a big one. That happens all the time. But we never see one form.

0272  00:21:24:47  00:21:33:13  And yet there are enough stars out there that we know about that everybody on planet earth, every single individual, can personally own 11 trillion stars to themselves.

0273  00:21:33:13  00:21:39:33  Those are the ones we know about. We don't know about the ones that we don't know about.

0274  00:21:39:33  00:21:44:27  Fourthly, there would have to be organic evolution, origin of life. Life would have to be started from non-living material.

0275  00:21:44:27  00:21:48:97  Nobody has a clue how that could happen. Then we would have to have what's called macroevolution.

0276  00:21:48:97  00:21:53:03  That's where an animal changes to a different kind of animal.

0277  00:21:53:03  00:21:58:07  Did you know that nobody has ever seen a dog produce a non-dog? Never!

0278  00:21:58:07  00:22:06:43  You may get a big dog, or a little dog, but you are going to get a dog every time. And it could be that the dog, the wolf, and the coyote had a common ancestor.

0279  00:22:06:43  00:22:13:60  I wouldn't argue about that - they probably did. But every five-year-old kid knows they're the same kind of animal. I'll show you.

0280  00:22:13:60  00:22:21:67  Is anybody in here five or six? Who is five or six years old? Anybody?

0281  00:22:21:67  00:22:26:27  OK. How old are you, buddy? Six? I want you to take a test.

0282  00:22:26:27  00:22:30:47  Here we have a dog, a wolf, a coyote, and a banana.

0283  00:22:30:47  00:22:33:67  Which one is different than the rest of them?

0284  00:22:33:70  00:22:38:77  The banana! Give him a hand! All right, very good!

0285  00:22:38:77  00:22:42:80  We have college professors that can't figure that out! I'll tell you want I want you to do.

0286  00:22:42:80  00:22:48:77  When we are done, I want you to go out to the table out in the hallway, and you can pick out any free video or DVD you want, OK?

0287  00:22:48:80  00:22:52:17  We've got a bunch of videos and DVDs about dinosaurs and stuff out there.

0288  00:22:52:17  00:23:02:83  The Bible says the animals are going to bring forth after their kind. Now Charlie Darwin wrote a book on the table down here called "Origin of Species." See, the dog and the wolf are the same kind of animal but different species.

0289  00:23:02:87  00:23:10:23  He fooled everybody by changing the word from "kind" to "species."

0290  00:23:10:23  00:23:16:63  We'll talk more about that in video #4. Lastly, we have what is called microevolution.

0291  00:23:16:63  00:23:21:27  This is changes within the kinds. Now that one happens. I'll go along with number six.

0292  00:23:21:27  00:23:27:87  I think animals can produce a whole variety of offspring: long hair, short hair, long legged, short legged; that happens.

0293  00:23:27:87  00:23:31:23  But the first five are purely religious. That's not science.

0294  00:23:31:23  00:23:38:00  We never observe any of those! So if you want to win the debate on evolution, simply define exactly what you are talking about.

0295  00:23:38:00  00:23:44:83  And you'll find all they ever give are examples of number six, which there is no argument about. It happens.

0296  00:23:44:83  00:23:50:90  But then they'll imply that that is somehow, magically, evidence for the other five. And it is not.

0297  00:23:50:90  00:23:57:10  The teachers are taught though to be sure to stress to the students that the earth is billions of years old.

0298  00:23:57:10  00:24:01:40  Make sure the kids believe this. You know, I happen to be a little old fashioned.

0299  00:24:01:40  00:24:05:63  I think in science class, we should be teaching science.

0300  00:24:05:63  00:24:11:83  Science includes things we can observe, study, test, and demonstrate. Things like the first law of thermodynamics.

0301  00:24:11:83  00:24:16:70  The first law of thermodynamics tells us, "Matter cannot be created or destroyed."

0302  00:24:16:70  00:24:23:87  Well, everything is made out of matter; so if matter cannot be created or destroyed, then how did the world get here?

0303  00:24:23:87  00:24:27:30  We are here, you know. So that leaves only two choices.

0304  00:24:27:33  00:24:34:07  Somebody made the world; or the world made itself. There is no other choice.

0305  00:24:34:07  00:24:42:00  Well, there are a few out there on the lunatic fringe, who will tell you, "We are not really here at all; we just think we are here."

0306  00:24:42:00  00:24:44:97  OK, you can forget about those folks. We are here.

0307  00:24:44:97  00:24:50:73  So, either somebody made the world, like the Bible says, God created it; or the world just made itself, like the humanists believe.

0308  00:24:50:73  00:24:58:07  It just is self existing and not created. Well, if the world just made itself, how could this happen?

0309  00:24:58:07  00:25:03:17  Boy, the devil thought about that for a long time. Finally, one day, he came up with the big bang theory.

0310  00:25:03:17  00:25:06:00  How many of you have ever heard of the big bang theory before?

0311  00:25:06:00  00:25:13:43  I was on an airplane years ago, flying from Dallas to San Francisco. And I happened to sit right next to a professor from Berkeley, U Cal Berkeley.

0312  00:25:13:47  00:25:22:03  I don't know if you folks in Knoxville have ever heard of Berkeley or not, but Berkeley is not a Bible college.

0313  00:25:22:03  00:25:27:50  So here I was on the airplane about that far away from this guy, and we started talking about creation and evolution.

0314  00:25:27:50  00:25:32:67  Everybody I sit by on the airplane wants to talk about that, so I talk about it with them.

0315  00:25:32:67  00:25:37:43  He said he believed in evolution. I said, "Yes, sir, I figured that; you have to if you teach at Berkeley."

0316  00:25:37:43  00:25:40:90  I said, "Tell me, sir, if you believe in evolution, how did the world get here?"

0317  00:25:40:90  00:25:46:07  He said, "Oh, it came from the big bang." I said, "Really? I'd like to hear about this!"

0318  00:25:46:07  00:25:50:10  He said, "You are a science teacher and you have never heard of the big bang?"

0319  00:25:50:10  00:25:56:27  I said, "Oh, yes sir, I've heard a lot about the big bang, and I believe in the big bang. But my big bang is a lot different than yours."

0320  00:25:56:27  00:26:00:43  I said, "You tell me about your big bang, and then I'll tell you about my big bang."

0321  00:26:00:43  00:26:05:53  And so, the professor took off on one of those answers that looked like it came straight from the textbook.

0322  00:26:05:53  00:26:13:60  He said, "Well, Mr. Hovind, I believe about 18 to 20 billion years ago..." (that's a long time)

0323  00:26:13:60  00:26:19:27  "...all the matter in the universe..." (that's a lot of stuff)

0324  00:26:19:27  00:26:26:30  By the way, the word "universe" comes from two Latin words: "uni," which means single, and "verse" which means a spoken sentence.

0325  00:26:26:30  00:26:32:03  Did you know we live in a single spoken sentence? God said, "Let there be...." That'll preach.

0326  00:26:32:03  00:26:38:23  There is a sermon someplace right there, OK? And if your pastor can't find it, he's got no preaching in him at all!

0327  00:26:38:23  00:26:52:37  "All the matter in the uni-verse was concentrated into one very dense, very hot region, that may have been much smaller than a period on this page." Say what?

0328  00:26:52:37  00:26:56:87  Everything in the universe squished into a dot smaller than a period on a page?

0329  00:26:56:87  00:27:02:43  Wow! That's one crowded dot. And heavy, too.

0330  00:27:02:43  00:27:05:10  But that's not the first time this happened, boys and girls.

0331  00:27:05:10  00:27:16:17  This textbook says: "Some day, after many billions of years, all the matter and energy will once again be packed into a small area no larger than the period at the end of this sentence. Then another big bang will occur."

0332  00:27:16:17  00:27:25:47  "It happens every 80 to 100 billion years." Can you believe they cut down a tree to print that?

0333  00:27:25:47  00:27:32:87  Where is Al Gore when you need him? That's what I want to know, yeah!

0334  00:27:32:90  00:27:38:50  And why did you guys send Al Gore to Washington? You had him here, you know.

0335  00:27:38:50  00:27:42:80  Now, this textbook author was brilliant. I could not believe how smart this guy was.

0336  00:27:42:80  00:27:51:20  He said, "Boys and girls, nothing really means nothing." You have to be at least that smart to write a book.

0337  00:27:51:20  00:27:55:50  He said, "Not only matter and energy would disappear, but also space and time.

0338  00:27:55:50  00:28:06:97  However, physicists theorize that from this state of nothingness, the universe began in a gigantic explosion." What?

0339  00:28:06:97  00:28:11:77  Yes, boys and girls, you see, one day, nothing exploded...

0340  00:28:11:77  00:28:17:93  ...And here we are! We can spend three days talking about the big bang theory.

0341  00:28:17:93  00:28:27:37  They used to say that the thing that exploded was a few light-years in diameter. Then they said, "Oh no, it's only 275 million miles." And then they said, "It's only 71 million miles."

0342  00:28:27:37  00:28:30:63  They keep getting it smaller, and now they are saying "nothing" exploded.

0343  00:28:30:63  00:28:35:20  A couple years ago "Discover Magazine" here said, "Where did everything come from?"

0344  00:28:35:20  00:28:40:97  "Boys and girls, the universe burst into something from absolutely nothing - zero, nada.

0345  00:28:40:97  00:28:45:07  As it got bigger, it became filled with even more stuff that came from absolutely nowhere.

0346  00:28:45:07  00:28:47:47  How is that possible? Ask Alan Guth.

0347  00:28:47:47  00:28:52:80  His theory will explain everything." Wow, I've got to meet this Alan Guth guy.

0348  00:28:52:80  00:29:02:13  Alan Guth said in "Scientific American," "The observable universe could have evolved from an infinitesimal region." (In the Hebrew, that's "a dot.")

0349  00:29:02:13  00:29:13:37  He said, "It's then tempting to go one step further and speculate that the entire universe evolved from literally nothing." You see, boys and girls, we all came from a dot and the dot came from nothing.

0350  00:29:13:40  00:29:17:93  And they call that science, and put it in a science journal?

0351  00:29:17:93  00:29:22:63  I think I'd call that a fairy tale and put it in the garbage.

0352  00:29:22:63  00:29:25:70  I said, "Professor, what happened to your dot?"

0353  00:29:25:70  00:29:30:90  He said, "Hovind, 20 billion years ago all the dirt in the solar system was drawn into this little, bitty, tiny dot.

0354  00:29:30:90  00:29:36:90  And it was spinning. It spun faster, and faster, and all of a sudden, it exploded: big bang!

0355  00:29:36:93  00:29:44:50  And the pieces that flew off became galaxies, and sun, moon, stars, and here we are. People. Nothing but stardust.

0356  00:29:44:53  00:29:47:40  I said, "Sir, can I ask you a couple of questions, please?"

0357  00:29:47:43  00:29:50:10  He said, "Sure, what do you want to know?"

0358  00:29:50:10  00:29:53:17  You know, we've got a three-hour flight sitting this far away from each other on the airplane.

0359  00:29:53:17  00:30:06:93  I said, "Well sir, I've got a question. You said that 20 billion years ago, all the dirt got together for a big squish, a big spin, and a big bang. Where did all the dirt come from?" You know, who made matter? He said, "We don't know."

0360  00:30:06:93  00:30:17:07  I said, "OK now sir, hold it. If I told you what I believe, that about 6,000 years ago God created the heaven and the earth, then you are going to say, 'and where did God come from?' And I have no idea."

0361  00:30:17:07  00:30:22:23  But you said, 20 billion years ago there was a big bang; and you don't know where the dirt came from.

0362  00:30:22:23  00:30:28:33  So basically, I believe: "In the beginning, God"; and you believe: "In the beginning, dirt."

0363  00:30:28:33  00:30:34:27  Don't tell me my theory is religious, and your theory is scientific." No, no, no!

0364  00:30:34:27  00:30:38:83  They are both religious. The news media tries to make it look like it is science versus religion.

0365  00:30:38:83  00:30:41:77  It's not science versus religion; these are two religions.

0366  00:30:41:77  00:30:44:73  Evolution and creation are both religious.

0367  00:30:44:73  00:30:47:53  You have to believe in one or the other.

0368  00:30:47:57  00:30:51:37  The difference is the evolution religion is tax supported.

0369  00:30:51:40  00:30:53:67  That's the difference - one of many differences.

0370  00:30:53:67  00:30:56:87  By the way, these two time lines are the same thing right here, behind me.

0371  00:30:56:87  00:31:01:43  On the top time line, every inch represents 150 years.

0372  00:31:01:43  00:31:06:30  Abe Lincoln was not even president one inch ago.

0373  00:31:06:30  00:31:10:60  If I was to show you what 20 billion years looks like at the same scale as the top chart...

0374  00:31:10:60  00:31:14:47  (...I have to have this chart on the bottom to be this scale...)

0375  00:31:14:47  00:31:17:90  ...This one would have to be 2,100 miles long.

0376  00:31:17:93  00:31:21:20  That's from Pensacola to Portland, Oregon.

0377  00:31:21:23  00:31:24:97  I don't want to carry a chart that big, so I made a new scale for the other one.

0378  00:31:24:97  00:31:27:27  The professor said that he did not know where the matter came from.

0379  00:31:27:27  00:31:29:33  So I said, "Sir, can you tell me where the laws came from?"

0380  00:31:29:33  00:31:36:40  This universe is run by laws. Gravity, centrifugal force, inertia, Boyle's law, Cole's law (You can eat that with potato salad).

0381  00:31:36:40  00:31:39:77  There are all kinds of laws in the universe. Where did the laws come from?

0382  00:31:39:77  00:31:43:60  And by the way, why aren't the laws still evolving? Do you ever think about that?

0383  00:31:43:60  00:31:50:23  Why is gravity always the same? Why don't you weigh 10 pounds more one day? (You say, "I do!"

0384  00:31:50:27  00:31:57:80  Well, that's for a different reason.) Where did the energy come from? Who bought the gas to run this machine?

0385  00:31:57:83  00:32:04:00  The professor said, "I don't know; we don't know any of those things." I said, "Can I ask you another question?"

0386  00:32:04:00  00:32:08:00  He said, "Sure. What else would you like to know?"

0387  00:32:08:00  00:32:11:00  Else? What do you mean, what else? you haven't told me anything yet.

0388  00:32:11:00  00:32:14:77  I said, "Sir, does Berkeley have a merry-go-round?"

0389  00:32:14:77  00:32:18:90  How many of you know what a merry-go-round is? You go round and round, until you throw up.

0390  00:32:18:90  00:32:21:60  He said, "No, we don't have a merry-go-round at Berkeley."

0391  00:32:21:60  00:32:23:03  I said, "You really ought to get one.

0392  00:32:23:03  00:32:25:57  You could learn some good science on a merry-go-round."

0393  00:32:25:57  00:32:29:00  If you put some fourth graders on there... Any fourth graders in here?

0394  00:32:29:00  00:32:31:47  Last year or next year fourth graders. I know it's summertime here.

0395  00:32:31:47  00:32:36:53  All right! I like fourth graders; I spent the best five years of my life in a fourth grade.

0396  00:32:36:53  00:32:47:43  (That was before they diagnosed ADD. By the time my brother was in the fourth grade, we all knew what he was going to be when he finished high school - 32!)

0397  00:32:47:43  00:32:55:47  Well, we are going to put some fourth graders on a merry-go-round and get the high school football team out there to get it spinning clockwise, as fast as it will possibly go.

0398  00:32:55:47  00:33:02:93  Now if you have a digital watch, you may not know what clockwise means. ...I'll tell you later.

0399  00:33:02:93  00:33:06:07  We are going to spin the merry-go-round clockwise, and the kids are going to go through four phases.

0400  00:33:06:07  00:33:11:47  They start off in phase one, where they're screaming at the football players, "Come on, let's go faster! Faster! Can't you go any faster?"

0401  00:33:11:47  00:33:15:30  You get up around 30 miles an hour, and the kids enter phase two, where they stop screaming.

0402  00:33:15:30  00:33:20:03  They just quietly concentrate on trying to hang on for dear life.

0403  00:33:20:03  00:33:35:33  When you get up around 60 miles an hour, the kids enter phase three, where they start screaming again, but now they are screaming, "Stop! Stop! Please slow down!"  Don't stop though; keep going faster and faster.

0404  00:33:35:33  00:33:43:07  When you get to 100 miles an hour, you enter phase four where the kids begin to fly off the merry-go-round. Now when this happens, you will notice a very interesting phenomenon of physics.

0405  00:33:43:07  00:33:51:80  If the merry-go-round is going clockwise when the kid flies off, the kid will be spinning clockwise.

0406  00:33:51:80  00:33:55:70  Until he encounters resistance, like a tree or a pole.

0407  00:33:55:70  00:34:00:07  That's because of a law in physics known as the conservation of angular momentum.

0408  00:34:00:07  00:34:09:53  See, if a spinning object breaks apart, the pieces that fly off are going to spin the same direction, because the outside is moving faster than the inside.

0409  00:34:09:57  00:34:15:17  And we can talk all day about the conservation laws if you'd like, but the professor said, "Yes, I know about the conservation laws."

0410  00:34:15:17  00:34:27:50  I said, "Well good, sir, then let me ask you a question. If the universe began as a spinning dot like you said, why do two planets spin backwards, and probably three?"

0411  00:34:27:50  00:34:33:67  He got real quiet, a puzzeld look on his face. I said, "Sir, why do eight out of ninety-one known moons spin backwards?

0412  00:34:33:67  00:34:41:43  Why do Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune have moons going both directions at the same time?

0413  00:34:41:47  00:34:49:27  Why is the Sun 98% hydrogen and helium, but the other planets are less than 1% hydrogen and helium?

0414  00:34:49:27  00:34:55:40  And why are these nine planets so different from each other? If they all came from the big bang, why are they all so different?

0415  00:34:55:40  00:34:57:27  Very different compositions!

0416  00:34:57:27  00:35:00:43  And why do some whole galaxies spin backwards?"

0417  00:35:00:43  00:35:06:80  CNN did an article, "Goofy galaxy spins in wrong direction."

0418  00:35:06:80  00:35:09:90  I said, "Sir, why are these things going backwards?"

0419  00:35:09:90  00:35:11:37  He said, "I don't know.

0420  00:35:11:40  00:35:15:33  Why do you think they are going backwards?"

0421  00:35:15:37  00:35:17:87  I was hoping he was going to ask that.

0422  00:35:17:87  00:35:19:17  I said, "Sir, it's really simple.

0423  00:35:19:17  00:35:28:13  You see, 'In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth,' and God did it that way on purpose, just to make the big bang theory look stupid."

0424  00:35:28:13  00:35:36:57  Yes, amen.

0425  00:35:36:57  00:35:39:63  Now, I do believe in the big bang, because the Bible teaches the big bang.

0426  00:35:39:63  00:35:45:97  It says, "The heavens shall pass away with a great noise." In the original Greek, that's a big bang!

0427  00:35:45:97  00:35:49:83  So there is going to be a big bang. It just didn't happen yet, OK?

0428  00:35:49:83  00:35:53:57  So kids, if you go to school, and some professor says, "Hey, do you believe in the big bang?"

0429  00:35:53:57  00:35:57:50  You should say, "Yes I do, and you'd better get saved and get ready for it."

0430  00:35:57:50  00:36:01:27  The big bang is coming soon to a city near you.

0431  00:36:01:27  00:36:07:13  By the way, if the world came from a big bang and slowly evolved over billions of years, why did Jesus die on the cross?

0432  00:36:07:13  00:36:09:33  What's the purpose of the death of Christ?

0433  00:36:09:33  00:36:12:87  And when the Bible says God is going to restore the world like it used to be ...

0434  00:36:12:87  00:36:17:07  Restore it to what? More death and suffering?

0435  00:36:17:07  00:36:20:53  We cover more on that theistic evolution position in video #7.

0436  00:36:20:53  00:36:29:17  The big bang theory is ludicrous for numerous reasons, OK? If the big bang theory were true, then matter would be evenly distributed. But it's not.

0437  00:36:29:17  00:36:37:23  Serious, serious problems with the big bang theory! Even Fred Hoyle said, "I have little hesitation in saying that a sickly pall  hangs over the big bang theory."

0438  00:36:37:23  00:36:45:83  Get more on that in the book, "Evolution Cruncher." It's a 900-page book; it's only $5.00. It's an excellent book to give away to every kid in your high school.

0439  00:36:45:83  00:36:50:77  The second law of thermodynamics tells us, "Everything tends toward disorder."

0440  00:36:50:77  00:36:56:63  If you leave something alone for awhile, it's going to rot, rust, die, fall apart, or break down.

0441  00:36:56:67  00:37:04:20  Nothing gets better by itself. That's what the Bible teaches. "The heavens are the works of thine hands: they shall perish;...they wax old as doth a garment."

0442  00:37:04:20  00:37:08:67  Nothing gets better by itself. Take a look at your hairdo when you wake up in the morning.

0443  00:37:08:67  00:37:13:63  You'll see exactly what I am talking about. Everything tends towards chaos, all right?

0444  00:37:13:63  00:37:27:53  Here is Sue at 20. Here she is at 90. And here she is at 3,000. Everything tends toward chaos, folks, all right?

0445  00:37:27:57  00:37:31:90  All you have to do is nothing, and everything deteriorates, collapses, breaks down, wears out.

0446  00:37:31:90  00:37:36:33  That's what the second law is all about. Everything is getting worse.

0447  00:37:36:33  00:37:43:90  Nothing is getting better. But the textbook says, "Humans probably evolved from bacteria more than 4 billion years ago."

0448  00:37:43:90  00:37:49:20  Was your great-great-great-great-great-great-grandpa bacteria?

0449  00:37:49:20  00:37:55:33  Evolutionists will say, "Well, Hovind, don't you know that if you add energy, you can overcome the second law of thermodynamics?

0450  00:37:55:33  00:38:00:57  And the earth receives energy from the sun, so the earth is an open system. That's how we overcome the law."

0451  00:38:00:60  00:38:05:10  I understand the argument, but they are missing the point. Number one: the universe is a closed system.

0452  00:38:05:10  00:38:11:13  Number two: adding energy is destructive, unless there is a special mechanism to use and harness the energy.

0453  00:38:11:13  00:38:17:80  See, the Japanese added a bunch of energy to Pearl Harbor one day. They didn't organize a thing for us, did they?

0454  00:38:17:80  00:38:23:50  So a few years later, we added some energy to a few of their cities - returned the favor.

0455  00:38:23:50  00:38:27:77  Didn't organize any thing for them. Adding energy is destructive.

0456  00:38:27:77  00:38:31:03  The sun adds energy to the roof of your house; but it's going to destroy your house.

0457  00:38:31:03  00:38:33:47  The sun's energy will destroy the entire house.

0458  00:38:33:47  00:38:40:17  The sun's energy will destroy the roof on your car. It will destroy your upholstery. The sun's energy will destroy your paint job.

0459  00:38:40:17  00:38:45:37  There is only one thing that can actually use the sun's energy: chlorophyll.

0460  00:38:45:37  00:38:49:10  And one little plant cell is more complex than a space shuttle.

0461  00:38:49:10  00:38:50:83  We cover more on that in video #4.

0462  00:38:50:83  00:38:55:57  Evolution violates the second law, and evolution is wrong, OK?

0463  00:38:55:57  00:39:05:77  This textbook shows the kids a fossil starfish and says, "3.4 billion years old... the remains of an early ancestor of modern human beings."

0464  00:39:05:77  00:39:11:17  Was your great-great-great-great-great-great-grandpa a starfish?

0465  00:39:11:17  00:39:29:63  How about "Discover Magazine," November 2004? Was your ancestor a sea sponge? This is your ancestor. Wow, who's your Daddy?

0466  00:39:29:63  00:39:32:73  Now, please don't laugh at this next picture, OK?

0467  00:39:32:73  00:39:41:87  This is going to be a picture of my brother when he first wakes up in the morning, after his first cup of coffee, which apparently was a little too strong.

0468  00:39:41:87  00:39:43:23  By the way, I've got to warn these kids.

0469  00:39:43:23  00:39:56:70  Kids, listen carefully. Do not drink coffee! Because if you drink coffee when you are young, when you get married, your babies will be born naked and illiterate.

0470  00:39:56:70  00:39:59:63  And tea is worse. There was an Indian once, who drank four gallons of iced tea.

0471  00:39:59:63  00:40:08:47  That night, he drowned in his teepee. Be careful with that stuff; it's deadly.

0472  00:40:08:47  00:40:14:80  Anyway, this is going to be my brother, please don't laugh- he can't help it. There he is!

0473  00:40:14:83  00:40:22:27  Notice what the textbook says, "30 million years ago..." Now kids, let me translate that for you.

0474  00:40:22:27  00:40:29:57  Anytime the textbook says, "million of years ago," what it means is: long ago, and far away.

0475  00:40:29:57  00:40:34:60  It means a fairy tale is coming next, OK? That's your warning, a fairy tale is coming up.

0476  00:40:34:60  00:40:39:63  "Thirty million years ago these critters evolved." There's that word again, you've got to watch that.

0477  00:40:39:63  00:40:46:90  It says, "they are ancestral to both humans and modern apes." Ancestors to humans?

0478  00:40:46:93  00:40:57:97  Grandpa? "What big eyes you have, grandpa!" "All The better to see you with, my boy."

0479  00:40:57:97  00:41:03:33  You know, we've been teaching kids they are nothing but an animal. And today a lot of them act like animals.

0480  00:41:03:33  00:41:10:40  Even Barbara Reynolds figured it out. "Your kids go ape in school?" Here's why- he's being taught evolution.

0481  00:41:10:40  00:41:21:73  "Guess what, Johnny, you are an animal and share a common heritage with earthworms." Ha, ha, you mean I'm just an animal? OK."

0482  00:41:21:73  00:41:27:17  Have you ever stopped and thought, that possibly what we are teaching the kids is affecting how they behave?

0483  00:41:27:17  00:41:33:33  What you believe determines how you behave. Kids are taught today that you are just an animal.

0484  00:41:33:33  00:41:41:20  The rock music these days is all full of death and destruction and blood. Well, the Bible says, "They that hate me love death!" Kids are taught today, "There are no absolutes."

0485  00:41:41:20  00:41:48:73  I was in a debate one time, and this professor said, "Hovind, there are no absolutes!"

0486  00:41:48:73  00:41:53:57  I said, "Are you absolutely sure?" Blew his little brain!

0487  00:41:53:57  00:41:58:07  "Now, hold on a minute, how can I be absolutely sure, when there are no absolutes?"

0488  00:41:58:10  00:42:01:57  I was speaking in a public school in Pennsylvania a couple of years ago, and this kid sat on the second row.

0489  00:42:01:57  00:42:06:13  He said, "Hovind, I am an atheist. There is no God." I said, "Are you sure?"

0490  00:42:06:13  00:42:09:23  He said, "I am sure." I said, "Let me ask you a question, son."

0491  00:42:09:23  00:42:14:97  I said, "Do you know everything?" He said, "Oh, no...no."

0492  00:42:14:97  00:42:26:03  I said, "Well, OK, good. Do you think maybe you know half of everything? He said, "Nooo..." Well, let's pretend for a few minutes that you know half of everything.

0493  00:42:26:07  00:42:37:10  Would it be possible then for God to exist in the other half that you don't know? Brand new thought - rattled around in his brain for awhile and got lost, I'm sure!

0494  00:42:37:10  00:42:40:03  I said, "And by the way son, if you're an atheist, let me ask you a simple question.

0495  00:42:40:03  00:42:43:83  How do you tell right from wrong?"

0496  00:42:43:83  00:42:46:40  Ask an atheist that question some time.

0497  00:42:46:40  00:42:49:40  How do you tell right from wrong?

0498  00:42:49:40  00:42:53:67  He said, "That's easy ... I decide what's right and wrong."

0499  00:42:53:67  00:42:58:00  He said, "I am the god of my own universe."

0500  00:42:58:00  00:43:02:83  I said, "I am glad to hear about that, son, because I am going to shoot you in five minutes."

0501  00:43:02:83  00:43:04:23  He said, "You can't do that."

0502  00:43:04:23  00:43:14:80  I said, "Oh yes I can! You see, I am the god of my own universe, and I decided it's fine for me to shoot you."

0503  00:43:14:80  00:43:23:67  You see where that logic would lead in a hurry if "every man did that which was right in his own eyes" like the book of Judges says. Serious problems for society - big time! How do you tell right from wrong?

0504  00:43:23:67  00:43:28:17  A simple question to ask an evolutionist. They don't have a way to tell.

0505  00:43:28:17  00:43:34:97  Maybe Osama bin Laden should decide right from wrong. Maybe Bill Clinton should decide right from wrong.

0506  00:43:34:97  00:43:41:07  If he has any idea where to find it! I mean, how do you tell right from wrong? Simple!

0507  00:43:41:07  00:43:42:97  It's real easy to tell right from wrong-

0508  00:43:42:97  00:43:48:37  "Thus saith the Lord." Now you see, that is absolute.

0509  00:43:48:37  00:43:54:27  And the Lord said, "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you."

0510  00:43:54:27  00:44:00:07  Some people either don't know what God says, or maybe they just don't care what God says.

0511  00:44:00:07  00:44:08:17  But God says don't do that, OK? Now, if you did it in the past, you could just say, "God, I'm sorry," and not do it again.

0512  00:44:08:17  00:44:10:47  A lot of teachers don't seem to understand.

0513  00:44:10:47  00:44:14:53  They just blindly follow the textbook and think that they have to teach this evolution theory.

0514  00:44:14:53  00:44:21:13  No, you don't have to teach this evolution theory! Teachers can teach creation in public schools if they want.

0515  00:44:21:13  00:44:28:83  We've got a video tape called: "The Public School Presentation" which deals with all the laws about teaching creation in public schools.

0516  00:44:28:83  00:44:34:37  What happened was, Arkansas and Louisiana passed laws to require that creation be taught.

0517  00:44:34:37  00:44:40:43  The court struck it down in both cases. They said, "You cannot be required to teach creation."

0518  00:44:40:47  00:44:44:67  They said, "The teachers can teach it if they want, but it has to be voluntary on the teacher's part."

0519  00:44:44:67  00:44:49:87  Even Stephen Gould said, "No statute exists in any state to bar instruction in 'creation science.'"

0520  00:44:49:87  00:45:01:00  It could be taught before, and it can be taught now. He was commenting on the 1987 Supreme Court decision.

0521  00:45:01:00  00:45:07:90  The ACLU, "the American Communist Lawyers' Union," have tried really hard to spread the propaganda around that you cannot talk about creation in the public schools. And that's just simply not true.

0522  00:45:07:90  00:45:13:90  It's always been perfectly fine to teach creation in the public schools. There's never been a law against that, OK?

0523  00:45:13:93  00:45:21:37  But if a teacher gets up in front of the class and says, "OK kids, listen, you started off like a slime, and you slowly evolved to a human."

0524  00:45:21:37  00:45:27:47  You don't need to be a genius to figure out that teaching will destroy some kid's faith in the Bible.

0525  00:45:27:47  00:45:31:93  And anybody that destroys a child's faith, better read what Jesus said about that.

0526  00:45:31:93  00:45:38:30  He said, "Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck...

0527  00:45:38:30  00:45:49:40  And that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." Anybody that teaches evolution is in trouble when they stand before God. The Bible says, "Be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation."

0528  00:45:49:43  00:45:55:97  It's interesting, though, what happened. Back in the 1950s, the average textbook in America had very little evolution - two or three thousand words was all.

0529  00:45:55:97  00:46:05:40  But in 1957, the Russians beat us in the space race by launching Sputnik and Americans panicked.

0530  00:46:05:40  00:46:10:80  How many of you are old enough to remember the panic in America when the Russians were winning the space race?

0531  00:46:10:80  00:46:15:07  They had articles in "Life Magazine" like, "How You can Survive Fallout."

0532  00:46:15:07  00:46:19:60  They said, "The Soviets are ahead of us in science, because the Soviets teach evolution.

0533  00:46:19:60  00:46:24:47  We don't teach it in our schools." They had articles on how to build your own bomb shelter.

0534  00:46:24:47  00:46:29:67  People were building them in their back yards to survive nuclear fallout.

0535  00:46:29:67  00:46:33:63  Wait a minute; the Soviets are ahead in science because they teach evolution?

0536  00:46:33:67  00:46:37:90  What does evolution have to do with putting up a satellite?

0537  00:46:37:90  00:46:42:93  Then, in 1959 it was the hundred-year anniversary of Darwin's book coming out.

0538  00:46:42:93  00:46:51:27  And in 1959, Eisenhower asked congress for a billion dollars to push more evolution into the school system.

0539  00:46:51:27  00:46:52:57  And he got it.

0540  00:46:52:57  00:47:03:77  American textbooks were rewritten in the late 50s and early 60s to include more evolution. They called it "the cold war reconstruction of American science education."

0541  00:47:03:77  00:47:10:80  Our whole science curriculum and other curriculums were rewritten to make sure evolution was taught.

0542  00:47:10:80  00:47:16:83  And by 1963 the average textbook had 33,000 words about evolution.

0543  00:47:16:83  00:47:21:00  By 1963, prayer was taken out of our school system.

0544  00:47:21:00  00:47:24:07  Anybody remember that? Madeline Murray O'Hare?

0545  00:47:24:07  00:47:29:73  By 1963 we saw a great rise in pre-marital sex for every single age bracket. We saw a great rise in sexually transmitted diseases for ten- to fourteen-year-olds.

0546  00:47:29:73  00:47:41:93  We saw a great rise in unwed birth rates - a 550% increase in pregnancies.

0547  00:47:41:93  00:47:44:47  The difference is being aborted.

0548  00:47:44:47  00:47:47:97  Now one third of all the kids born in the hospitals are born to a couple that are not married. One third of them.

0549  00:47:47:97  00:47:56:30  Illegitimate children. Now listen carefully. If you are one of those, this is for you.

0550  00:47:56:30  00:47:59:27  Timothy was a "half-breed" that never should have been born.

0551  00:47:59:27  00:48:04:77  Timothy's mommy was Jewish, his daddy was Greek. The Jews weren't supposed to marry anybody but Jews.

0552  00:48:04:80  00:48:12:33  Mama disobeyed; Timothy was the result. But he wanted to serve God, and God said, I'll take you, son." He wrote two books in the Bible.

0553  00:48:12:33  00:48:18:33  So if your parents messed up, you shut your mouth- quit whining, and go serve God with your life, OK?

0554  00:48:18:33  00:48:20:87  There are no excuses. God will use anybody, OK?

0555  00:48:20:87  00:48:27:40  The number of unmarried couples living together has increased radically since 1963. God's Word hasn't changed. He said, "Thou shalt not commit adultery."

0556  00:48:27:40  00:48:38:57  He said, "Whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." Jesus said, If you even look and lust, you have committed adultery already in your heart."

0557  00:48:38:57  00:48:42:90  By the way, ladies, that's why it's important how you dress.

0558  00:48:42:90  00:48:47:60  My daddy always said, "If you're not in business, don't advertise."

0559  00:48:47:60  00:49:02:03  Divorce rates have gone crazy in this country. Child abuse is up 2,300%. Illegal drugs are up 6,000% . Violent crimes are up nearly 1000%.

0560  00:49:02:07  00:49:08:40  I am not that old, but I remember the days when you did not have to lock your house. Anybody remember those days?

0561  00:49:08:40  00:49:13:50  And you left the keys in the ignition all the time. You never took them out, because you might lose them.

0562  00:49:13:53  00:49:19:03  And you go up to t the average high school and half of the pickup trucks in the parking lot had a loaded rifle hanging in the back window.

0563  00:49:19:03  00:49:29:50  And nobody got shot in school in those days, did they? You probably didn't hear about this, but the kids at Columbine High School that shot everybody were very strong believers in evolution.

0564  00:49:29:50  00:49:34:47  They did the shooting on Hitler's birthday, on purpose.

0565  00:49:34:47  00:49:37:03  They shot Isaiah Shoels just because he was black.

0566  00:49:37:03  00:49:41:63  Hitler hated black people; so did they. This was evolution-motivated shooting.

0567  00:49:41:67  00:49:49:07  And right after the shooting, Rosie O'Donnell got on her TV program and said, "See, we need more gun control."

0568  00:49:49:07  00:49:57:53  Rosie, those kids broke 18 gun laws going into that school. I don't think two more gun laws would have slowed them down.

0569  00:49:57:53  00:50:09:40  See, Rosie can't figure it out; but one guy figured out the whole thing and put it on the spare tire cover on his van. I saw that; I said, "Man, I've got to get a picture of this!" This explains everything.

0570  00:50:09:40  00:50:20:97  He said, "Blaming guns for Columbine is like blaming spoons for Rosie O'Donnell being fat."

0571  00:50:20:97  00:50:27:33  It's not the spoon's fault, Rosie! And it's not the guns' fault, either. Yeah, blame the gun - that's brilliant! SAT scores have plummeted since 1963.

0572  00:50:27:33  00:50:35:17  Twice in the last forty years they have dumbed down the test.

0573  00:50:35:17  00:50:40:93  They made the test dumber, so the scores would go back up. Teen suicide rates have gone crazy.

0574  00:50:40:97  00:50:46:03  Now, if I told you that if you kissed a frog, it would turn to a prince, what would you say?

0575  00:50:46:03  00:50:49:37  You would say, "No, frogs don't turn into princes."

0576  00:50:49:37  00:50:52:60  How many of you ladies got your husband by kissing a frog?

0577  00:50:52:63  00:50:57:00  Come on, let's see. Looks like only about three.

0578  00:50:57:03  00:50:59:20  See, it doesn't happen very often; but in the textbooks it does.

0579  00:50:59:20  00:51:08:30  We started off like an amoeba and slowly evolved into a frog and very slowly became a prince.

0580  00:51:08:30  00:51:14:97  It's the same fairy tale. See, if the frog turns into a prince quickly, we all know it's a fairy tale.

0581  00:51:14:97  00:51:21:40  But if the frog turns into a prince slowly, now then, that's modern science.

0582  00:51:21:40  00:51:26:47  No, I'm sorry, that's still a fairy tale  - even more of a fairy tale.

0583  00:51:26:47  00:51:28:67  The difference is not a kiss. That won't do it anymore.

0584  00:51:28:67  00:51:40:57  Today, boys and girls, if you want to turn your frog into a prince, you've got to have a super, special, high-powered, magic ingredient called billions and billions of years.

0585  00:51:40:57  00:51:42:40  How many of you have ever heard that before?

0586  00:51:42:40  00:51:49:27  "Billions of years ago.." It's all in the textbooks. You see it on TV, in the magazines; it's in "National Geographic."

0587  00:51:49:27  00:51:54:20  "Billions and billions of years ago..." They talk about it like it's a fact of science.

0588  00:51:54:20  00:52:04:10  Here is a fourth grade textbook. It says, "Many millions of years ago..."

0589  00:52:04:10  00:52:07:07  Now wait a minute. If anybody ever says that to me, I say, " Were you there?" They'll say, "No, of course I wasn't there."

0590  00:52:07:07  00:52:10:40  Then I'll say, "Now do you know the earth is millions of years old?

0591  00:52:10:40  00:52:14:37  Is this really a part of science? Is this something we can observe, study, test, and demonstrate?"

0592  00:52:14:37  00:52:25:30  They'll say, "No, but everybody believes the earth is millions of years old." No, they don't.

0593  00:52:25:30  00:52:31:70 Most Americans believe the earth is less than 10,000 years old and God made it.

0594  00:52:31:70  00:52:40:57  Less than 15% are evolutionists and atheists in the surveys that they take. Majority of Americans do not believe the earth is millions of years old.

0595  00:52:40:57  00:52:45:27  Now it's true that slightly more than half the scientists believe in evolution. That's true, I agree. But that doesn't make it true. It's true that they believe it, but what they believe is not true.

0596  00:52:45:27  00:52:49:47  See, just because a bunch of scientists believe something doesn't mean anything.

0597  00:52:49:47  00:52:52:13  There was a time when scientists taught that the planets go around the earth.

0598  00:52:52:13  00:52:56:13  The scientists used to teach that a big rock will fall faster than a little rock.

0599  00:52:56:17  00:53:01:40  They used to teach that if you were sick, you had bad blood. Take out your blood, and you will get better.

0600  00:53:01:43  00:53:05:13  There were special places all over America to get your blood taken out.

0601  00:53:05:13  00:53:09:37  You could tell where they were, because they had a white pole with a red stripe around it.

0602  00:53:09:37  00:53:11:70  The barber was the bloodletter. And right beside George Washington, ...

0603  00:53:11:70  00:53:19:13  ... when they were bleeding him to death, was a Bible that told him, "For the life of the flesh is in the blood:"

0604  00:53:19:13  00:53:24:37  If they would have read that verse, he might still be alive today. Well, he would have lived longer, anyway.

0605  00:53:24:37  00:53:29:57  But listen, if you went scuba diving and found a treasure chest full of gold coins.

0606  00:53:29:57  00:53:33:97  And I asked you the simple question, "When did the boat sink?"

0607  00:53:34:00  00:53:38:37  You say, "I don't know." Well, look at the dates on the coins.

0608  00:53:38:37  00:53:47:20  If there's a coin in that box from 1750, you ought to be able to figure out that the boat sank after 1750.

0609  00:53:47:20  00:53:52:83  How many can figure that out with no help at all? It couldn't sink before that, could it?

0610  00:53:52:83  00:53:55:27  You don't poke around in the box and find the oldest coin.

0611  00:53:55:70  00:54:01:30  You have to find the most recent coin. And that kind of limits when the boat could have sunk.

0612  00:54:01:30  00:54:03:93  That's called the limiting factor.

0613  00:54:03:93  00:54:08:20  Did you know that there are probably a hundred different ways to tell how old the earth is?

0614  00:54:08:20  00:54:13:57  A lot of them give big numbers, and a lot of them give small numbers, but it's the small ones we've got to worry about.

0615  00:54:13:60  00:54:19:90  If you find a dinosaur bone, you should notice two things about it immediately.

0616  00:54:19:90  00:54:25:20  Number one, it does not talk. Number two, it doesn't have a date stamped on it.

0617  00:54:25:20  00:54:33:37  It does not say: "Made by a dinosaur in 70 million BC in Taiwan." They don't say that, OK?

0618  00:54:33:37  00:54:37:27  So, how do you tell the age of a fossil? How do you tell the age of the earth?

0619  00:54:37:27  00:54:42:00  How old is this earth anyway? Well, the Bible dates add up to about 6,000 years.

0620  00:54:42:03  00:54:46:73  The textbooks say it's billions. Somebody is wrong.

0621  00:54:46:77  00:54:49:77  There is a difference between 6,000 and 20 billion.

0622  00:54:49:77  00:54:52:80  Congress doesn't seem to understand the difference, but there is a difference, OK?

0623  00:54:52:80  00:54:54:87  We'll talk about that in the next session.

0624  00:54:54:87  00:54:58:30  How do you show that the earth is not billions of years old?

0625  00:54:58:30  00:55:02:63  But if it is only 6,000 years old like the Bible teaches, that raises some interesting questions.

0626  00:55:02:63  00:55:05:57  What about the dinosaurs? What about carbon dating?

0627  00:55:05:57  00:55:08:57  How did the light from the stars get here? What about Grand Canyon?

0628  00:55:08:60  00:55:12:50  Didn't it take million of years to form? What about the geologic column?

0629  00:55:12:53  00:55:17:60  Well folks, that's why my seminar is about seventeen hours long. I am talking as fast as I can go, but we cover all that.

0630  00:55:17:60  00:55:22:17  We'll cover some more of that in just a minute.

0631  00:55:23:53  00:55:25:40  Seminar 1b - Dr. Kent Hovind - www.drdino.com - English

0632  00:55:25:40  00:55:36:17  How many of you have seen one of my videos before or been to one of my seminars before? How many of you never have? How many do not understand the questions so far?

0633  00:55:36:17  00:55:45:73  My name is Kent Hovind. I taught high school science for 15 years. And now, for 16 years I have been doing seminars on creation, evolution, and dinosaurs.

0634  00:55:45:77  00:55:52:60  The Bible says in Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

0635  00:55:52:60  00:55:55:23  When was the beginning?

0636  00:55:55:23  00:55:59:40  The Bible says that Jesus created all things in heaven and earth.

0637  00:55:59:40  00:56:04:47  Well wait, did God create the heaven and the earth or did Jesus create the heaven and the earth?

0638  00:56:04:47  00:56:05:90  Well, they are both fine.

0639  00:56:05:90  00:56:09:07  Jesus is God Almighty in the flesh in spite of what "Jehovah's false witnesses" teach, OK?

0640  00:56:09:07  00:56:19:83  Jesus said in Matthew 19:4, "Have ye not read that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female."

0641  00:56:19:83  00:56:25:37  By the way, that was Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. But Jesus said that was the beginning.

0642  00:56:25:37  00:56:31:77  Same thing in Mark 10:6, "From the beginning of the creation God made them male and female."

0643  00:56:31:77  00:56:35:37  The Bible says death came into the world because of man's sin.

0644  00:56:35:37  00:56:37:33  Nothing died until Adam sinned.

0645  00:56:37:37  00:56:41:17  By man came death. The Bible is real clear on the topic.

0646  00:56:41:17  00:56:47:67  Adam was the first man and Eve was the mother of all living.

0647  00:56:47:67  00:56:50:23  Well, that makes it pretty easy then; we just add up the dates.

0648  00:56:50:23  00:56:53:43  The Bibles says Adam was 130 when Seth was born.

0649  00:56:53:43  00:56:56:70  Seth was 105 when Enos was born.

0650  00:56:56:70  00:56:59:40  Enos was 90 when Cainan was born.

0651  00:56:59:40  00:57:03:20  You go through the Bible; you add up the dates; it's not hard to do.

0652  00:57:03:20  00:57:04:97  You can make a chart like this pretty easily.

0653  00:57:04:97  00:57:10:33  If you get my seminar notebook, the last page folds out to be that chart, or we've got them laminated like this one.

0654  00:57:10:33  00:57:18:63  You might want them for placemats when your skeptic friends come over for lunch.

0655  00:57:18:63  00:57:22:23  You can really stir up a conversation with one of those. Our ministry has quite a few placemats. And the kids can read that instead of the cereal box.

0656  00:57:22:23  00:57:28:43  But if you add up the dates in the Bible, you are going to get about 4000 BC for the creation.

0657  00:57:28:47  00:57:31:70  Not millions of years ago, but 4000 BC.

0658  00:57:31:70  00:57:34:77  Now I'm not one of those guys that tries to put an exact date on it.

0659  00:57:34:80  00:57:36:87  I don't say that it was 4004 BC,

0660  00:57:36:87  00:57:39:07  October 23rd at two in the afternoon.

0661  00:57:39:07  00:57:41:20  I don't think you can get that close from Scripture.

0662  00:57:41:20  00:57:47:03  I think Adam was made in the afternoon because it was just before Eve. It's the only clue I found.

0663  00:57:47:03  00:57:51:60  And I can't prove this but I think I figured out why God made Adam first.

0664  00:57:51:60  00:57:57:53  I think God made Adam first because he didn't want any advice on how to do it.

0665  00:57:57:57  00:58:01:03  How many would agree with that one?

0666  00:58:01:03  00:58:13:57  By the way, BC means Before Christ. Almost all the new textbooks are changing it to say BCE- before the common era.

0667  00:58:13:57  00:58:18:93  Christ is gone from the schools, folks. Textbooks say the earth is billions of years old. Jesus said the creation of Adam was the beginning.

0668  00:58:18:93  00:58:25:93  Well, was He lying? Did He not understand science? Or was He right?

0669  00:58:25:93  00:58:29:83  How old is the earth? When was the beginning?

0670  00:58:29:83  00:58:35:10  "Thou Lord in the beginning has laid the foundations of the earth." How old is this earth?

0671  00:58:35:10  00:58:38:50  Could that date of 4000 BC be correct?

0672  00:58:38:53  00:58:42:77  I do many debates at universities and speak on a lot of talk shows and stuff, and there's always some atheist that calls in.

0673  00:58:42:77  00:58:49:13  He  will call in and say, "Hovind, I have got a question, Who did Adam's sons marry?"

0674  00:58:49:13  00:58:51:47  Good question and a fair question.

0675  00:58:51:47  00:59:03:40  I say that's a good question and I'd be glad to answer that. However, you guys are the ones that have a serious problem.

0676  00:59:03:40  00:59:05:60  The Bible says "Cain went out from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife and she conceived." Well, it doesn't say he found her there.

0677  00:59:05:60  00:59:08:87  But who was his wife and who did Seth marry anyway?

0678  00:59:08:87  00:59:13:27  And I think I can answer that. However, compared to the evolutionists we have a minor problem.

0679  00:59:13:27  00:59:19:63  They believe that 18 or 20 billion years ago, there was a big bang where nothing exploded and made everything.

0680  00:59:19:63  00:59:25:47  And 4.6 billion years ago the earth cooled down and it was a hot ball of rock.

0681  00:59:25:47  00:59:27:83  "The earth began as a hot ball of rock."

0682  00:59:27:83  00:59:35:87  And then millions of years of torrential rains created great oceans, and swirling in the waters of the oceans is a bubbling broth of complex chemicals.

0683  00:59:35:87  00:59:39:30  "Progress from a complex chemical soup to a living organism is very slow."

0684  00:59:39:33  00:59:45:10  It sure is; it doesn't even happen; that's how slow it is!

0685  00:59:45:10  00:59:50:43  This guy said, "The first self-replicating systems must have emerged in this organic soup."

0686  00:59:50:43  00:59:56:13  So according to the big bang theory, 20 billion years ago there was a big bang, and then 4.6 billion years ago the earth cooled down.

0687  00:59:56:13  01:00:02:97  It rained on the rocks for millions of years, turned them into soup, and the soup came alive 3 billion years ago.

0688  01:00:02:97  01:00:12:60  And that first life-form found somebody to marry (now there's a good trick) and something to eat, of course, and slowly evolved into everything we see today.

0689  01:00:12:63  01:00:14:03  That's the big bang theory.

0690  01:00:14:03  01:00:20:47  So great-great-great-great-grandpa was soup.

0691  01:00:20:47  01:00:26:90  I spoke at a college in Boston one time. They said, "Hovind, you can come to speak at our college, if our professors can ask you any questions they want.

0692  01:00:26:90  01:00:30:93  We would like to show the students how dumb you Christians really are."

0693  01:00:30:93  01:00:34:37  I said, "I would be honored to come for that."

0694  01:00:34:37  01:00:39:73  So I showed up. There were six professors and all their students in the room. You know, I felt like Daniel in the lion's den!

0695  01:00:39:73  01:00:49:30  I got out my charts and said, "Folks, I believe the Bible. I believe 6,000 years ago God made everything. Then 4,400 years ago, God sent a Flood which destroyed everything."

0696  01:00:49:33  01:00:54:37  "Noah saved two of each kind - not species - kind of animal life on the ark."

0697  01:00:54:40  01:00:57:23  Then I told them what they believe, because most of them don't know what they believe.

0698  01:00:57:23  01:00:59:00  Twenty billion years ago there was a big bang.

0699  01:00:59:00  01:01:04:37  Then 4.6 billion years ago, the earth cooled down. It rained on the rocks for millions of years, turned them into soup and the soup came alive.

0700  01:01:04:37  01:01:06:30  One professor was really upset.

0701  01:01:06:30  01:01:09:10  He said, "Hovind, do you realize that there are hundreds of varieties of dogs in the world?"

0702  01:01:09:10  01:01:11:63  I said, "Oh yeah, there's a bunch."

0703  01:01:11:63  01:01:15:97  He said, "You mean to tell me that you believe all those dogs came from just two dogs on Noah's ark?

0704  01:01:15:97  01:01:19:73  Do you expect me to believe that?"

0705  01:01:19:77  01:01:23:07  I said, "Sir, would you look at what you are teaching your students?

0706  01:01:23:10  01:01:30:20  You're teaching your students that all those dogs came from a rock."

0707  01:01:30:20  01:01:33:37  He didn't have any more questions after that.

0708  01:01:33:37  01:01:39:23  Anyway, who did Adam's sons marry? Well, the Bible says Adam lived after he begat Seth 800 years and begat sons and daughters.

0709  01:01:39:23  01:01:50:07  How many kids could you have in 800 years? Several, right?

0710  01:01:50:07  01:01:53:97  A friend of mine in Arkansas had 15 kids in 15 years.

0711  01:01:53:97  01:02:01:80  I met a family from Minnesota with 20 children, all of them under 20. It's cold in Minnesota.

0712  01:02:01:80  01:02:06:90  So who did Adam's sons marry? Well, they married sisters.

0713  01:02:06:90  01:02:09:27  You say, "Married their sisters?!"

0714  01:02:09:30  01:02:11:33  Well calm down; first of all, there's no other choice, OK?

0715  01:02:11:33  01:02:17:70  Secondly, who are you going to report them to? Think about it.

0716  01:02:17:70  01:02:22:00  Thirdly, there were no laws against it till 2,500 years later when Moses gave the law.

0717  01:02:22:00  01:02:29:30  They didn't need laws against it at first. For the first thousand years or so, the race had almost no genetic defects.

0718  01:02:29:30  01:02:41:07  There was no problem marrying a sister. See, everything about you is inherited. Even having children is hereditary. If your parents don't have any, you won't either.

0719  01:02:41:07  01:02:45:83  You say, "Wow, I never thought about that." Go think about it. You'll see I'm right.

0720  01:02:45:83  01:02:49:17  People say, "You can't marry sisters; what about genetic similarity?"

0721  01:02:49:17  01:02:55:83  Adam married his rib. Talk about genetic similarity! It was not going to be a problem back then.

0722  01:02:55:83  01:03:00:07  And you won't notice this reading the Bible, but when you graph out the date, it is pretty amazing.

0723  01:03:00:07  01:03:05:17  You'll realize that Adam lived long enough to know his great-great-great-great-grandson.

0724  01:03:05:20  01:03:09:20  Noah's daddy could have known Adam for 56 years.

0725  01:03:09:20  01:03:13:27  Can you imagine a family reunion back in those days?

0726  01:03:13:27  01:03:18:70  All right, everybody hop on the camel. We are going to go visit great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandpa Adam.

0727  01:03:18:70  01:03:27:23  And he is going to tell us what it was like in the Garden of Eden (before the first woman ate the first man out of house and home).

0728  01:03:27:27  01:03:34:30  I do tell a lot of Adam-and-Eve jokes. And I'll just tell you that right now. And this one lady said, "Now just where would you men be without us women?"

0729  01:03:34:30  01:03:38:90  I said, "In the Garden of Eden."

0730  01:03:38:93  01:03:43:17  But it'd be lonely; it wouldn't be worth it.

0731  01:03:43:17  01:03:47:93  You won't notice this reading your Bible either, but when you graph out the dates, it's like, wow, that's pretty cool!

0732  01:03:47:93  01:03:54:70  Noah's son Shem lived long enough after the Flood to know Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

0733  01:03:54:70  01:03:59:77  Jacob had 13 kids: 12 boys and 1 girl. One of those boys was Joseph.

0734  01:03:59:77  01:04:04:37  He's the guy that got the coat of many colors. And the brothers got jealous and beat him up. They threw him in the pit and he ended up down in Egypt.

0735  01:04:04:40  01:04:07:30  And he became the "Vice Pharaoh" or whatever they called it.

0736  01:04:07:33  01:04:09:73  And later Joseph invited all of his brothers to move down to Egypt and live with them.

0737  01:04:09:73  01:04:16:23  So Joseph is introducing his dad, Jacob, to Pharaoh. And Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How old are you?"

0738  01:04:16:23  01:04:19:07  And Jacob said, "I'm 130 years old."

0739  01:04:19:07  01:04:29:37  "Few and evil have the days of the years of my life been and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers."

0740  01:04:29:37  01:04:34:23  I read that verse 36 years ago as a brand new Christian and I thought, what's he saying here?

0741  01:04:34:23  01:04:40:27  I'm 130, but this is nothing compared to my ancestors?

0742  01:04:40:27  01:04:44:67  Yeah, when you figure he could have personally known Shem, Arphaxad, Salah, and Eber.

0743  01:04:44:67  01:04:51:10  If you were 130 but you know a 600-year-old that lives around the corner, you just don't feel so old anymore.

0744  01:04:51:10  01:04:53:37  Anyway, the textbooks say that the earth is billions of years old.

0745  01:04:53:37  01:04:55:47  Jesus said the creation of Adam was the beginning.

0746  01:04:55:47  01:04:59:23  Now was Jesus lying? Was He stupid?

0747  01:04:59:23  01:05:02:50  Or was He right? How old is the earth?

0748  01:05:02:50  01:05:06:03  Do the books in this town teach the kids the earth is billions of years old?

0749  01:05:06:03  01:05:09:73  Are they going to learn this in school when they go back?

0750  01:05:09:77  01:05:11:67  "4.6 billion years ago ...."

0751  01:05:11:70  01:05:15:50  Even some Christians are teaching that the earth is billions of years old.

0752  01:05:15:53  01:05:18:60  Some people do who really sincerely, honestly love the Lord!

0753  01:05:18:60  01:05:23:03  This list of folks tells some of those, just a few of those, who teach that the earth is billions of years old.

0754  01:05:23:03  01:05:26:17  I debated Hugh Ross for three hours on the John Ankerberg show.

0755  01:05:26:20  01:05:32:53  Both of those guys believe that the earth is billions of years old. People say, "Well who cares? What difference does it make?"

0756  01:05:32:53  01:05:34:43  It makes a giant difference.

0757  01:05:34:43  01:05:39:50  Because if you are going to have billions of years, you are going to have death before sin.

0758  01:05:39:50  01:05:43:67  Now you have a heresy. And it is heresy!

0759  01:05:43:67  01:05:47:63  It's not heresy to believe the earth is billions of years old, but it is heresy to put death before sin.

0760  01:05:47:67  01:05:49:90  Now that is a clear heresy.

0761  01:05:49:90  01:05:55:53  The Bible says death reigned from Adam to Moses. By man came death. In Adam all die.

0762  01:05:55:53  01:05:57:40  Who cares about the age of the earth?

0763  01:05:57:40  01:06:00:20  Well for one thing, the credibility of Genesis is at stake.

0764  01:06:00:20  01:06:05:00  The average person reading that book is not going to find billions of years in there.

0765  01:06:05:03  01:06:08:70  So the question is real simple.

0766  01:06:08:70  01:06:12:77  Can the average person read the Bible and understand it or do we have to have some guru tell us what it means?

0767  01:06:12:77  01:06:23:17  Secondly, the credibility of Jesus is at stake since He quoted Genesis 25 times. And just about every other book in the Bible refers to the Book of Genesis.

0768  01:06:23:17  01:06:26:50  It's an important topic. And the evolutionists really care!

0769  01:06:26:53  01:06:31:30  If you take away billions of years, their theory looks real silly.

0770  01:06:31:30  01:06:36:47  Jesus said, "For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me."

0771  01:06:36:47  01:06:40:33  Well, the Bible clearly teaches about 6,000 years.

0772  01:06:40:33  01:06:42:73  Let's see what the scientific evidence says.

0773  01:06:42:73  01:06:47:87  In 1999 the world's population crossed over the 6 billion mark.

0774  01:06:47:87  01:06:51:33  In 1985 there were 5 billion people on planet earth.

0775  01:06:51:33  01:06:53:07  In 1800 there was one billion people here.

0776  01:06:53:07  01:07:01:27  Everybody agrees there were about one billion people here around 1800. And everybody agrees the world's population is growing rapidly.

0777  01:07:01:27  01:07:07:23  But the world is not overcrowded. Don't fall for that over-populated propaganda going around the schools.

0778  01:07:07:23  01:07:09:00  The world is not overcrowded.

0779  01:07:09:00  01:07:16:10  The whole world's population today, all 6 billion people, would fit inside Jacksonville, Florida twice.

0780  01:07:16:10  01:07:20:70  That little city has 25 billion square feet.

0781  01:07:20:70  01:07:22:10  The world's not overcrowded, folks.

0782  01:07:22:10  01:07:27:33  Have you driven across Nebraska? Or Kansas? Or New Mexico? Or Texas?

0783  01:07:27:37  01:07:30:27  Drive across Texas. Have any of you driven across Texas?

0784  01:07:30:27  01:07:33:87  You can go for three days. Are we still in Texas?

0785  01:07:33:90  01:07:37:80  Yeah, nothing out there but flat rabbits, I tell you what.

0786  01:07:37:80  01:07:39:33  The world's not overcrowded.

0787  01:07:39:33  01:07:42:30  Drive across Tennessee, for Heaven's sake. It's not overcrowded.

0788  01:07:42:30  01:07:46:87  Look, if it's overcrowded where you are, move!

0789  01:07:46:87  01:07:55:40  There is plenty of room out there other places, OK? Back when Jesus was here, the world's population was only about a quarter of a billion!

0790  01:07:55:40  01:08:01:60  It looks like the whole population growth curve started about 4,400 years ago.

0791  01:08:01:60  01:08:05:00  Now if you believe in evolution, you've got a problem.

0792  01:08:05:00  01:08:07:70  You think man's been here for 3 million years.

0793  01:08:07:73  01:08:17:43  In 3 million years the population would have grown. Right now there'd be about 150,000 people per square inch.

0794  01:08:17:43  01:08:21:87  That would be crowded. No, man's not been here for millions of years.

0795  01:08:21:87  01:08:26:10  God told Adam to replenish the earth; fill it with kids. Have lots of kids!

0796  01:08:26:10  01:08:31:00  "He formed the world to be inhabited," Isaiah 45 tells us.

0797  01:08:31:00  01:08:34:17  We got people on the other side saying we should reduce the population of the earth.

0798  01:08:34:17  01:08:35:93  That is Satan's plan, of course.

0799  01:08:35:93  01:08:40:73  Jacque Cousteau said we need to eliminate 350,000 people per day.

0800  01:08:40:73  01:08:45:47  Ted Turner said we need a 95% decline in populations.

0801  01:08:45:50  01:08:49:57  OK,Ted, you first.

0802  01:08:49:57  01:08:55:67  These guys for the New World Order want to reduce the population of the world to a half billion.

0803  01:08:55:67  01:09:01:57  See, Satan was told by the Lord in the Garden of Eden, "You are going to crawl on your belly and eat dust all your life."

0804  01:09:01:57  01:09:09:17  Then the Lord said, "I will put enmity between thee and the woman, between thy seed and her seed, it shall bruise thy head."

0805  01:09:09:17  01:09:14:77  Satan knows that someday some seed of the woman is going to bruise his head and he's not looking forward to that.

0806  01:09:14:80  01:09:17:87  So he has decided he's going to kill every human being on the planet.

0807  01:09:17:90  01:09:22:73  Satan's goal is to kill all of humanity to thwart God's plan.

0808  01:09:22:73  01:09:24:67  God said to fill the earth with kids; have a bunch of kids.

0809  01:09:24:67  01:09:28:07  Satan says, "No, we are going to reduce it to zero."

0810  01:09:28:07  01:09:33:27  Remember when Herod wanted to kill baby Jesus in Bethlehem? What did he do?

0811  01:09:33:27  01:09:40:67  He killed all the children. Let's be sure to get the right one. Just kill them all. And Satan's going to try to kill every human being on the planet.

0812  01:09:40:67  01:09:44:90  Charles Wurster said, "People are the cause of all the problems, we need to get rid of some of them."

0813  01:09:44:93  01:09:51:23  Bill Clinton signed the biodiversity treaty that said we need to reduce the earth's population to one billion.

0814  01:09:51:23  01:09:53:67  They've already got the earth divided up into regions.

0815  01:09:53:67  01:09:58:43  The red areas on the map are for animals only. No human beings allowed.

0816  01:09:58:43  01:10:02:67  The treaty's been signed; it just hasn't been enforced yet  - coming soon though.

0817  01:10:02:67  01:10:06:30  Peter Singer is the guy who wants to have abortions after the baby's born.

0818  01:10:06:30  01:10:09:73  You have got 28 days to decide if you want to keep it.

0819  01:10:09:77  01:10:11:97  He said, "Christianity is our foe.

0820  01:10:11:97  01:10:17:87  "If animal rights is to succeed, we must destroy the Judeo-Christian religious tradition."

0821  01:10:17:90  01:10:22:17  Like animals should have more rights than humans. Alan Gregg said, "The world has cancer, and the cancer is man."

0822  01:10:22:17  01:10:30:27  Prince Phillip is the husband of Queen Elizabeth. She's the one that invented the "micro-wave."

0823  01:10:30:27  01:10:36:67  Prince Phillip said, "If I could be reincarnated, I would wish to return to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels."

0824  01:10:36:67  01:10:42:90  Nice guy, Phil. By the way, Monsanto is real busy on developing genetically modified foods.

0825  01:10:42:90  01:10:45:20  They banned them in Europe.

0826  01:10:45:20  01:10:53:07  But 70% of everything you eat now contains genetically modified foods, causing all kinds of problems with health.

0827  01:10:53:10  01:10:56:77  Get the book, "Seeds of Deception," if you want a whole lot more on that.

0828  01:10:56:77  01:11:03:27  Or read "Engineered Extinction" from the "New American" magazine about how our food is being tampered with to reduce the population.

0829  01:11:03:27  01:11:08:20  The United Nations said, "Food is power, we use it to control behavior, ... we do not apologize."

0830  01:11:08:23  01:11:13:90  And before you get excited about vaccines, you might want to read what's happening with the viruses being injected in with the vaccines.

0831  01:11:13:90  01:11:16:80  Time bombs are being planted in there.

0832  01:11:16:83  01:11:21:63  There's a long story on that; we cover more on that in our "Bible & Health" video tape.

0833  01:11:21:67  01:11:31:37  Autism has gone crazy. There's been a 75,000 percent increase in autism in Illinois! It's from vaccines, most people believe.

0834  01:11:31:37  01:11:35:17  Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) seems to be from vaccines.

0835  01:11:35:17  01:11:37:23  In Australia they made vaccines non-mandatory.

0836  01:11:37:23  01:11:44:00  50% of the people dropped out, and Australia had a 50% drop in (SIDS) Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

0837  01:11:44:00  01:11:47:83  Go to www.marytocco.com if you want more on vaccines.

0838  01:11:47:83  01:11:51:13  But there are people who want to reduce the population of the earth.

0839  01:11:51:17  01:11:57:07  Go outside of Atlanta, Georgia, to the town of Elberton. Go north about seven or eight miles on Highway 77.

0840  01:11:57:07  01:12:09:53  Look off to the right. You'll see a place where they teach that we should reduce the population of the planet.

0841  01:12:09:53  01:12:13:80  If you look off to the right, you'll see these stones over here that look like Stonehenge.

0842  01:12:13:80  01:12:17:10  You drive over there and it is the weirdest place - in the middle of nowhere.

0843  01:12:17:10  01:12:23:77  You get up and you read them and it says in 12 languages: The Ten Commandments for the New World Order.

0844  01:12:23:77  01:12:29:00  Commandment number one, Maintain humanity under one-half billion.

0845  01:12:29:03  01:12:33:53  Well now hold on a minute, there are already 6 billion people here.

0846  01:12:33:53  01:12:38:70  How do they propose to "maintain humanity under a half billion"?

0847  01:12:38:70  01:12:44:43  Looks to me like there would have to be a dramatic drop in human population. That is exactly what the devil wants.

0848  01:12:44:43  01:12:46:77  More on that in our college class: CSE 101.

0849  01:12:46:77  01:12:53:43  Well, regardless of what happens in the future, the population today tells us that man has only been here about 4,400 years.

0850  01:12:53:47  01:13:00:70  They said it looks like there has been a genetic bottleneck. The whole population was reduced to just a few thousand just a couple thousand years ago.

0851  01:13:00:70  01:13:06:73  Hey, they are getting closer. Actually it was all reduced to eight persons only about 4,400 years ago.

0852  01:13:06:73  01:13:14:17  I tell everybody that you keep studying, and when you get done climbing the mountain of truth, you'll find the Baptists have been sitting there all along.

0853  01:13:14:17  01:13:19:17  Galaxies are spinning, but the stars in the middle go faster than the stars on the outside.

0854  01:13:19:17  01:13:24:30  So why do we still have spiral arms on the galaxies? They should not be there.

0855  01:13:24:30  01:13:28:97  Galaxies are evidence that the universe is not billions of years old.

0856  01:13:28:97  01:13:32:37  Stars are blowing up all the time. It is called a supernova or a nova.

0857  01:13:32:37  01:13:38:60  But a star blows up about every 30 years, and yet there are less than 300 supernova remnants or fragments that have been found.

0858  01:13:38:63  01:13:41:70  That's only a few thousand years worth of stars.

0859  01:13:41:73  01:13:44:87  Why aren't there billions of supernova remnants?

0860  01:13:44:87  01:13:48:57  Some people say, "Well, new stars are forming in the Crab nebula or horsehead nebula."

0861  01:13:48:57  01:13:56:93  No, that's a bunch of bologna. We cover that on video #7. Nobody's ever seen a star form. The planet Jupiter is cooling off rapidly.

0862  01:13:56:93  01:13:59:93  The stars are changing from red giants to white dwarfs.

0863  01:13:59:93  01:14:03:47  The textbooks say it takes billions of years. We know that is not true.

0864  01:14:03:47  01:14:08:67  All the ancient astronomers said Sirius was a red star. Today it is a white dwarf.

0865  01:14:08:67  01:14:12:53  It happens in a few thousand years. Don't let them tell you it takes billions of years.

0866  01:14:12:57  01:14:14:57  Jupiter's cooling off rapidly.

0867  01:14:14:57  01:14:19:73  Constantly losing heat, it cannot be billions of years old. It would have been cold by now.

0868  01:14:19:73  01:14:26:13  Jupiter's moon Ganymede has a strong magnetic field, indicating a liquid core, meaning it is not billions of years old.

0869  01:14:26:13  01:14:30:37  Saturn's rings are expanding away from the planet. They cannot be billions of years old.

0870  01:14:30:37  01:14:34:37  There's more about that in the book, "In the Beginning" by Walt Brown, an excellent book by the way.

0871  01:14:34:37  01:14:40:03  The moon goes around the earth. How many knew that already? The moon goes around the earth.

0872  01:14:40:03  01:14:43:23  Did you know that as the moon moves around the earth, it is gradually getting farther away?

0873  01:14:43:23  01:14:49:07  We are slowly losing the moon. It's leaving us a couple inches a year - no big deal.

0874  01:14:49:10  01:14:53:67  Nothing to worry about; plus nothing you can do about it anyway.

0875  01:14:53:67  01:14:56:93  But the moon is getting farther from the earth every day.

0876  01:14:56:93  01:15:05:80  Now kids, this is going to be complicated, so listen carefully. The moon is getting farther from the earth every day.

0877  01:15:05:80  01:15:17:00  So that means that it used to be ... closer. How many can figure this out with no help at all?

0878  01:15:17:03  01:15:23:80  Well, if you bring the moon in closer, you start to create a problem, because the moon causes the tides.

0879  01:15:23:80  01:15:26:47  You folks in Knoxville probably don't worry about the tides.

0880  01:15:26:47  01:15:29:93  But in Pensacola, you worry about the tides.

0881  01:15:29:93  01:15:33:43  You see, if the moon was closer, the tides would be higher.

0882  01:15:33:43  01:15:35:63  There's a law called the inverse square law.

0883  01:15:35:63  01:15:43:50  If you brought the moon in to 1/3 the distance, you take the 1/3, flip it over and square it. It's nine times the gravitational pull!

0884  01:15:43:53  01:15:51:37  If you run all the math on this, you'll find out that the moon and earth would have been almost together 1.4 billion years ago.

0885  01:15:51:37  01:15:57:20  Dr. Walt Brown says 1.2 billion years ago is the max life span for the earth and moon.

0886  01:15:57:20  01:16:06:13  Well, if the moon was whizzing around just above the surface of the earth, that explains what happened to the tall dinosaurs.

0887  01:16:06:13  01:16:11:83  They got mooned.

0888  01:16:11:83  01:16:16:57  Comets are flying around through space, but comets are constantly losing material.

0889  01:16:16:57  01:16:18:37  Stuff blows off the tail of a comet.

0890  01:16:18:37  01:16:22:13  You can't just keep losing; pretty soon it is gone.

0891  01:16:22:13  01:16:24:30  You know, it's kind of like your checkbook.

0892  01:16:24:30  01:16:29:27  See, if your outgo exceeds your income, your upkeep will be your downfall, every single time!

0893  01:16:29:27  01:16:35:23  Well, these comets are always losing material. That's something you just can't keep doing forever.

0894  01:16:35:23  01:16:43:63  Most astronomer's say comets can't last more than about 10,000 years. OK, well then I have a question.

0895  01:16:43:63  01:16:48:60  Why do we still have comets out there? They should all be gone by now.

0896  01:16:48:60  01:16:54:27  I mentioned in a seminar years ago that comets are an indication that the solar system is less than 10,000 years old.

0897  01:16:54:30  01:17:01:07  And an atheist went home and devoted an entire Web site against me, an anti-Hovind Web site.

0898  01:17:01:07  01:17:03:27  There are now over a thousand.

0899  01:17:03:27  01:17:10:50  One guy told me there is closer to 2,000 anti-Hovind Web sites now. I'm so proud of myself.

0900  01:17:10:50  01:17:14:33  My son and I answer most of them on our video series "Answering the Critics."

0901  01:17:14:33  01:17:18:23  We also have a radio program everyday. People can call in and ask their questions.

0902  01:17:18:23  01:17:22:37  It was the Creation Science Hour. It's now an hour and a half, 4:30-6:00 p.m. Monday-Friday, US Central Time.

0903  01:17:22:37  01:17:33:00  Right on the internet, go to http:/www.drdino.com and follow the links to the Creation Science Hour. You can write in with your questions. We have people call in from all over the world because they believe in evolution.

0904  01:17:33:03  01:17:39:87  Well, this one scoffer on his Web site said, "Hovind, don't you know about a Dutch astronomer back in 1950?  His name was Jan Oort.

0905  01:17:39:87  01:17:50:67  He proposed (he hoped; he wished; he prayed) that there was a great shell of comets out there, and new ones kept coming in to replace the ones that are burning out.

0906  01:17:50:67  01:17:56:20  So he said that the reason we still have comets is because new ones are replacing the ones that are burning up.

0907  01:17:56:20  01:17:59:43  They called it the "Oort Cloud" of comets.

0908  01:17:59:47  01:18:04:90  He said this Oort cloud is 50,000 astronomical units away.

0909  01:18:04:93  01:18:08:77  Well, if you don't know what an astronomical unit, it is the distance from the sun to the earth.

0910  01:18:08:77  01:18:11:73  That is one astronomical unit.

0911  01:18:11:73  01:18:19:00  It's pretty hard to see Pluto without a really good telescope. And Pluto's only 39 astronomical units away.

0912  01:18:19:00  01:18:24:17  You're never going to see a comet at 50,000 astronomical units, that's for sure.

0913  01:18:24:17  01:18:29:37  Nobody's ever seen this Oort cloud. Oort never saw the Oort cloud.

0914  01:18:29:37  01:18:34:67  The whole thing is based on a mathematical mistake. There is no Oort cloud.

0915  01:18:34:67  01:18:42:57  Even Carl Sagan said, "Many scientific papers are written each year about the Oort cloud, its properties, its origin, its evolution. ...

0916  01:18:42:57  01:18:46:90  Yet there is not yet a shred of direct observational evidence for its existence."

0917  01:18:46:90  01:18:48:90  There is no Oort cloud.

0918  01:18:48:90  01:18:54:37  But the scoffer on his Web site said, "Hovind, if you want to use the comet argument to prove the earth is young, ...

0919  01:18:54:37  01:19:02:27  It's up to you to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Oort cloud and other sources don't exist!"

0920  01:19:02:27  01:19:07:97  Wait, wait, wait. How would you prove the nonexistence of something?

0921  01:19:07:97  01:19:14:00  Wouldn't I have to be all places at the same instant to prove something doesn't exist?

0922  01:19:14:00  01:19:17:47  What he's trying to do here is called shifting the burden of proof.

0923  01:19:17:47  01:19:20:27  The liberals do it to us all the time, and we fall for it.

0924  01:19:20:27  01:19:32:43  I'll show you how easy it is to do. Suppose I said that watermelons are blue on the inside until you cut the skin. Prove I'm wrong.

0925  01:19:32:43  01:19:36:03  It's called shifting the burden of proof. That would be pretty hard to do, wouldn't it?

0926  01:19:36:03  01:19:41:83  As soon as you cut the skin - oh see, it turned red. I was right; it was blue a second ago.

0927  01:19:41:83  01:19:45:67  He says I have to prove there's no Oort cloud. Now wait, Dave, here's what we know.

0928  01:19:45:67  01:19:51:20  We know we have comets. We know they don't last more than about 10,000 years.

0929  01:19:51:20  01:20:01:17  We know the Bible says the earth is 6,000 years old. I don't have a problem with comets. But he wants it to look like I have a problem with comets, when he's the one who's got the problem.

0930  01:20:01:17  01:20:09:30  The Bible says, "The heavens declare the glory of God." It's interesting. Evolution theory has the sun and stars evolving before the earth.

0931  01:20:09:30  01:20:17:57  The Bible says, God made the earth before the sun and stars.

0932  01:20:17:57  01:20:21:07  Everything about the evolution theory is backwards to the Bible. Every single thing - absolutely backwards!

0933  01:20:21:07  01:20:24:27  These theories don't match. Everything's backwards.

0934  01:20:24:27  01:20:30:47  The Bible says man brought death into the world. Evolution says death brought man into the world.

0935  01:20:30:47  01:20:36:50  The Bible says God created man; evolution says no, man created God.

0936  01:20:36:50  01:20:39:43  These theories are polar opposites.

0937  01:20:39:43  01:20:42:70  People say, "Couldn't God use evolution to create?"

0938  01:20:42:70  01:20:45:90  Well He could have, but it's not the God of the Bible, that's for sure.

0939  01:20:45:90  01:20:49:90  The God that would use evolution is cruel, wasteful, and retarded.

0940  01:20:49:93  01:20:52:30  It's not a God you would want to pray to, that's for sure.

0941  01:20:52:33  01:20:55:10  We'll cover more of that on video 7 of the blue series of tapes back there.

0942  01:20:55:10  01:20:59:17  The psalmist said, "When I consider thy heavens...."

0943  01:20:59:17  01:21:02:27  By the way, heavens is plural; we get into that more in video #2.

0944  01:21:02:27  01:21:06:83  He said, "when I consider." Kids, you'd do yourself a favor every once in a while to shut off that TV.

0945  01:21:06:83  01:21:11:93  Go outside, and consider the heavens. Go see what God has done.

0946  01:21:11:93  01:21:15:13  The psalmist said, "While I was musing, the fire burned."

0947  01:21:15:13  01:21:19:00  The word muse means "think." Think.

0948  01:21:19:00  01:21:22:43  The Bible uses that word twice. Think.

0949  01:21:22:43  01:21:24:73  Now, English is a pretty interesting language, you know.

0950  01:21:24:73  01:21:27:43  A "theist" is a person who says he believes in God.

0951  01:21:27:47  01:21:32:00  If you put the letter "a" in front of a word, it means the opposite.

0952  01:21:32:00  01:21:36:20  So an "atheist" is a person who says he does not believe in God.

0953  01:21:36:20  01:21:41:53  "Muse" means to think. So what is the opposite? You got it.

0954  01:21:41:53  01:21:46:47  "Amuse" means literally, to not think.

0955  01:21:46:50  01:21:50:27  Did you know we've got entire parks where you can pay money and go do that.

0956  01:21:50:27  01:21:55:37  They are called amusement parks - a place to not think.

0957  01:21:55:40  01:22:03:30  He said, "When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained: What is man that thou art mindful of him?"

0958  01:22:03:33  01:22:19:63  You know what's interesting? A person that spends his time considering what God has done is just not impressed with what man can do.

0959  01:22:19:63  01:22:26:63  And some of you parents ought to go home and look at your kid's bedroom. And if  what you see all over the wall are sports heroes (you listen carefully), you are training your kids to meditate on what man can do, not on what God can do.

0960  01:22:26:63  01:22:31:17  And his brain, his thinking process, is going to be about that deep.

0961  01:22:31:17  01:22:38:00  You know the depth of his understanding is "Wow, he threw the ball through the hoop."

0962  01:22:38:00  01:22:44:07  Who's going to care in a thousand years? Who's going to care in five years?

0963  01:22:44:07  01:22:49:10  Does anybody know who won the Stupid Bowl, err, Super Bowl five years ago?

0964  01:22:49:10  01:22:53:37  Does anybody care? It doesn't matter, does it?

0965  01:22:53:37  01:22:59:37  All those grown men out there fighting over that one ball, and they can all afford to go buy their own.

0966  01:22:59:37  01:23:09:27  No, I mean it's not sinful. It is just dumb to pay a guy five million dollars to carry a pig bladder down a cow pasture through some plumbing.

0967  01:23:09:30  01:23:11:70  It's not going to last, folks.

0968  01:23:11:70  01:23:15:30  Think about things that are going to last forever, like what God has done. Meditate on that.

0969  01:23:15:30  01:23:17:63  The Bible says, "Speak to the earth and it shall teach thee."

0970  01:23:17:63  01:23:21:50  The earth is like a big magnet. Now magnets always lose their strength.

0971  01:23:21:50  01:23:28:63  The earth's magnet has lost 10% of its strength in the last 150 years.

0972  01:23:28:67  01:23:32:43  That means, of course, that it used to be stronger- since it's getting weaker.

0973  01:23:32:43  01:23:43:47  And it cannot be more than 25,000 years old. Just the earth's magnetic-field decline limits it to less than 25,000 years.

0974  01:23:43:47  01:23:58:03  Amd that also means carbon dating can't work. Give you a few examples here: the lower leg of a mammoth dated 15,000 years old, but the skin was 21,000.

0975  01:23:58:03  01:24:02:33  One part of a mammoth is 29,000 years and another part, 44,000. You talk about a slow birth.

0976  01:24:02:33  01:24:07:03  We cover more on Carbon-14 dating in video #7 and all the serious problems with that.

0977  01:24:07:03  01:24:11:07  The textbooks will say, well, yes the magnetic field is getting weaker, but that's because it's reversing.

0978  01:24:11:07  01:24:12:87  It's a pattern of reversals.

0979  01:24:12:87  01:24:17:17  No, there are no magnetic reversals in the magnetic field at the bottom of the ocean.

0980  01:24:17:20  01:24:20:33  We cover that in video #6. This is all a part of another theory called: Pangaea.

0981  01:24:20:37  01:24:22:67  How many have ever heard of "Pangaea" before?

0982  01:24:22:67  01:24:24:83  That all the continents used to fit together.

0983  01:24:24:83  01:24:29:80  Well, I bet they didn't tell you they shrank Africa nearly 40% to make them fit, did they?

0984  01:24:29:80  01:24:33:70  Did they tell you they took out all of Mexico and Central America?

0985  01:24:33:70  01:24:38:73  "Senor, que pasa donde esta Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica and Guatemala?"

0986  01:24:38:77  01:24:51:40  And you know they don't tell you what I think ought to be obvious to a kindergartner.

0987  01:24:51:40  01:24:56:30  Did you know if you take the water out of the oceans, you will notice there is dirt underneath. People say, "Hovind, do you think the continents were ever connected?"

0988  01:24:56:30  01:25:00:27  I say, "What do you mean? They are still connected."

0989  01:25:00:27  01:25:03:00  I mean, like right now; it is just the low places are full of water.

0990  01:25:03:00  01:25:06:30  What do you mean "were they connected"? Hello! They are still connected.

0991  01:25:06:30  01:25:11:27  What a dumb theory! We cover more of that in video #6 about Pangaea, in what's called "The Hovind Theory."

0992  01:25:11:27  01:25:16:67  The earth is spinning about 1,000 miles per hour at the equator. But the earth is slowing down.

0993  01:25:16:70  01:25:20:93  The earth actually slows down about a thousandth of a second every day.

0994  01:25:20:93  01:25:26:70  The earth slows down. "Astronomy Magazine" ran an article in 1992.

0995  01:25:26:70  01:25:37:50  They said, "Earth's rotation is slowing down. ... June will be one second longer than normal." We will have a leap second. Leap second?

0996  01:25:37:50  01:25:43:70  Yes, they have to have a leap second about every year to year and a half, because the earth is slowing down.

0997  01:25:43:70  01:25:48:50  Now kids, this is going to be complicated, so listen carefully.

0998  01:25:48:50  01:25:53:67  The earth is spinning, but it is slowing down

0999  01:25:53:67  01:26:00:63  So that means that it used to be going faster.

1000  01:26:00:63  01:26:07:07  How many can figure this out with no help at all?

1001  01:26:07:07  01:26:10:53  Well, if the earth is only 6,000 years old, this is not a problem.

1002  01:26:10:53  01:26:16:43  I mean, it was going a little faster; Adam wouldn't notice. He didn't have a watch anyway.

1003  01:26:16:47  01:26:20:10  Some of the guys would like me to believe that the earth is billions of years old.

1004  01:26:20:10  01:26:23:47  Man, if you go back billions of years, you are going to have a problem.

1005  01:26:23:50  01:26:25:10  The earth would be spinning pretty quick.

1006  01:26:25:10  01:26:30:77  Get up; go to bed. Get up; go to bed. Get up; go to bed. You'd never get anything done.

1007  01:26:30:77  01:26:36:67  Centrifugal force would have been enormous. Man, the winds would have been 5,000 miles an hour from the Coriolis effect.

1008  01:26:36:67  01:26:40:33  And you want me to believe the dinosaurs lived millions of years ago?

1009  01:26:40:33  01:26:47:87  I know what happened to them. They got blown off! No, they did not live millions of years ago.

1010  01:26:47:87  01:26:51:10  The Sahara Desert has what is called a prevailing wind pattern.

1011  01:26:51:10  01:26:55:67  The wind almost always blows the same way. This creates a serious problem.

1012  01:26:55:70  01:27:01:07  The hot air comes off the desert, kills the trees next door, and that area becomes desert.

1013  01:27:01:07  01:27:05:77  The process is called desertification. You can read about it in an earth science book.

1014  01:27:05:77  01:27:15:17  The Sahara Desert has been studied very carefully. They did a long study on this and said, You know what, folks, the Sahara Desert is probably about 4,000 years old.

1015  01:27:15:17  01:27:20:40  That's when it started growing. Egypt used to be fertile land all over the place.

1016  01:27:20:40  01:27:27:20  OK, well then I have a question: If the earth is millions of years old,  why don't we have a bigger desert someplace?

1017  01:27:27:20  01:27:31:70  Why would the biggest desert on planet earth be less than 4,000 years old?

1018  01:27:31:70  01:27:34:87  Well, I have a theory about that. Now here's my theory.

1019  01:27:34:87  01:27:41:83  I believe about 6,000 years ago, God created everything; 4,400 years ago there was a Flood.

1020  01:27:41:83  01:27:47:87  Now it's pretty hard to have a desert under a flood. You have got to admit that would be tough.

1021  01:27:47:87  01:27:51:30  So the desert couldn't start growing until the floodwater went down.

1022  01:27:51:30  01:27:59:30  So I predict, based on the Bible, the biggest desert in the world would be less than 4,400 years old.

1023  01:27:59:33  01:28:04:20  It is! Wow, maybe the Bible's right.

1024  01:28:04:23  01:28:07:57  You know when they drill into the ground, sometimes they hit oil?

1025  01:28:07:57  01:28:18:67  The oil is under incredible pressure in some places, up to 20,000 (psi) pounds per square inch. It will come squirting up out of the ground- 20,000 psi.

1026  01:28:18:67  01:28:21:43  Well, the guys who study the rocks on top of the oil say,

1027  01:28:21:43  01:28:25:07  "You know, it just can't handle that pressure for more than about 10,000 years."

1028  01:28:25:07  01:28:32:20  I know the weight of rock supplies pressure, but the pressure in the well is greater than the weight of overburden.

1029  01:28:32:20  01:28:36:37  They say it should have cracked the rock and leaked off in less than 10,000 years.

1030  01:28:36:37  01:28:44:80  OK, well then, I have got two questions: Where did the oil come from? And why is it still under pressure?

1031  01:28:44:80  01:28:48:77  Well, most scientists agree that oil comes from organisms that are squished.

1032  01:28:48:77  01:28:52:00  They're changed by heat and pressure into oil.

1033  01:28:52:00  01:29:03:30  They learned in 1971 how to make oil in 20 minutes in the laboratory. In Australia they've got a treatment plant that takes sewage sludge and turns it into oil in 30 minutes.

1034  01:29:03:30  01:29:12:37  There is a factory in Texas that takes turkey guts and pressurizes them, heats them, and turns them into oil.

1035  01:29:12:40  01:29:19:87  It said in the article: "We duplicated what Mother Nature does, but what took Mother Nature millions of years to do, we do in about 30 minutes."

1036  01:29:19:87  01:29:24:67  Sinclair has the dinosaur as their logo. They say dinosaurs turned into oil.

1037  01:29:24:67  01:29:33:27  Yes, boys and girls, they mellowed for 80 million years. I don't think so.

1038  01:29:33:27  01:29:35:63  I have a theory about the oil, and here is my theory:

1039  01:29:35:63  01:29:42:57  I believe about 6,000 years ago, God created everything; 4,400 years ago there was a Flood.

1040  01:29:42:57  01:29:45:70  In that Flood, lots of critters and people drowned.

1041  01:29:45:70  01:29:49:90  They got buried by the gravel and the rocks and the mud and the sand, and it got pretty heavy after a while.

1042  01:29:49:90  01:30:06:50  And it squished them into oil. So the oil's down there today from the people and animals that drowned in that Flood. Which means if you stop to think about it, you drove over here tonight on some of your ancestors.

1043  01:30:06:50  01:30:11:13  Well, Noah's uncles anyway. Next time you're at the gas station, pumping him in there, you can say,

1044  01:30:11:13  01:30:16:87  "Bye, Grandpa. You should have listened to Noah; he told you it was going to rain!"

1045  01:30:16:87  01:30:23:83  Hovind, "We know you teach the earth is only 6,000 years old. We would like to prove to you, you're wrong.

1046  01:30:23:83  01:30:27:63  "Would you come with us, please?" I said, "Sure!"

1047  01:30:27:63  01:30:32:20  They took me to this big freezer outside of Denver, in Lakewood, Colorado.

1048  01:30:32:23  01:30:37:63  It's the National Ice Core Laboratory. It is -36 degrees F (-38C) in there.

1049  01:30:37:63  01:30:42:07  They put this big suit on me, big hat, big gloves, big boots. I was freezing in five seconds when I walked in there.

1050  01:30:42:07  01:30:44:73  I have got Florida blood, you know? It is real thin.

1051  01:30:44:77  01:30:48:50  They said, "Hovind, we go to Greenland and we drill holes through the ice."

1052  01:30:48:53  01:30:51:57  You know, a government job.

1053  01:30:51:57  01:30:55:87  "And, we take this big pipe and we drill it down, and we bring this ice core out of the middle of the pipe.

1054  01:30:55:87  01:30:59:50  And we save it in this big freezer here in Lakewood, Colorado.

1055  01:30:59:50  01:31:02:83  We have ten ice cores from stored in this freezer."

1056  01:31:02:83  01:31:08:03  They took me over and showed me one of the ice cores. They said, "You see these rings on here, looks like tree rings - dark, light, dark, light?"

1057  01:31:08:03  01:31:10:67  I said, "Oh yeah, it's real clear."

1058  01:31:10:67  01:31:16:10  They said, "Well what happens, in the summer, the snow melts a little bit, and then it refreezes and makes clear ice."

1059  01:31:16:10  01:31:19:70  (It shows up dark in the picture.)

1060  01:31:19:73  01:31:23:67  In the winter, the snow just packs. It doesn't get a chance to melt.

1061  01:31:23:67  01:31:25:87  And so it shows up as a white layer.

1062  01:31:25:87  01:31:34:60  So these layers represent: summer, winter, summer, winter, summer, winter, summer, winter. And they said, Now, the deepest hole we'ver ever drilled is 10,000 feet deep.

1063  01:31:34:60  01:31:41:13  And we counted these ice rings. And there were 135,000 of them.

1064  01:31:41:13  01:31:44:13  And now you're going around telling everybody the earth is 6,000 years old.

1065  01:31:44:13  01:31:48:37  We can prove it is at least 135,000 years old.

1066  01:31:48:37  01:31:52:70  I said, "Fellas, aren't you assuming those are annual rings?"

1067  01:31:52:73  01:31:55:37  See, they didn't know about the Lost Squadron, apparently.

1068  01:31:55:37  01:32:03:27  But, in World War II, some airplanes ran out of gas and landed in Greenland. Has anybody ever heard of the Lost Squadron? OK. It's been on TV a bunch of times.

1069  01:32:03:27  01:32:06:73  Well, the airplanes got left there in 1942.

1070  01:32:06:73  01:32:09:57  They went on and fought the war, and everyone forgot about them.

1071  01:32:09:57  01:32:15:40  Until a rich millionaire from Kentucky got a brilliant idea. Go find those airplanes and bring them home.

1072  01:32:15:40  01:32:29:87  He went there looking for the airplanes. They had to use ground-penetrating radar to penetrate the ice, and they located the planes.

1073  01:32:29:87  01:32:35:57  They melted this hole down to get to the P-38.  It was 263 feet below the surface. They melted this hole down to get down to the plane,  took the plane apart, and brought the pieces back through the hole.

1074  01:32:35:57  01:32:39:73  And they put them back together in Middlesboro, Kentucky. Not too far from here.

1075  01:32:39:73  01:32:42:77  How far is Middlesboro from Knoxville, Kentucky? Two hours, maybe?

1076  01:32:42:77  01:32:55:30  That's where their home base is,  Middlesboro. The planes were in the ice for 48 years. They were 263 feet down. That's 5 1/2 feet a year.

1077  01:32:55:30  01:33:02:77  Now, the deepest hole they've ever drilled is 10,000 feet. You divide that in half and you get 1,800 years.

1078  01:33:02:77  01:33:06:10  I know deeper layers get squished - called glacial firn.

1079  01:33:06:10  01:33:11:17  So really 4,000 years is plenty of time to put all the ice at the north and south poles.

1080  01:33:11:17  01:33:15:70  So, why isn't there more ice at the north and south poles?

1081  01:33:15:70  01:33:20:57  I visited the museum and saw the guy who dug out the airplane - his name is Bob Carden.

1082  01:33:20:57  01:33:26:37  I said, "Bob, when you went down to get to that airplane, did you melt through ice rings?"

1083  01:33:26:37  01:33:35:10  He said, "Oh yeah, many hundreds of them."

1084  01:33:35:10  01:33:40:13  I said, "Now wait a minute. How can there be hundreds of ice rings in 48 years? Shouldn't there be somewhere around 48?

1085  01:33:40:13  01:33:46:87  He said, "Who told you those are annual layers?" He said, "That doesn't represent summer, winter, summer, winter.

1086  01:33:46:87  01:33:51:07  It represents warm, cold, warm, cold, warm, cold."

1087  01:33:51:07  01:33:56:10  You can get five of those in one week in Knoxville, can't you?

1088  01:33:56:10  01:34:02:60  But here's a guy still calling them annual layers. Now either he is ignorant, or he is lying.

1089  01:34:02:60  01:34:06:17  I hope he is just ignorant because ignorance can be fixed.

1090  01:34:06:17  01:34:10:50  You see, stupid is forever, but ignorance can be fixed. That is the difference by the way.

1091  01:34:10:53  01:34:17:13  A guy that works with the Eskimos said, "Brother Hovind, I got 15 layers of snow on my car in 8 hours.

1092  01:34:17:13  01:34:22:93  Not 15 inches, 15 distinct layers of snow!

1093  01:34:22:93  01:34:26:57  Your kids are going to be taught that each of the layers of the earth is a different age.

1094  01:34:26:57  01:34:30:20  They've got Cenozoic, Mesozoic, Paleozoic, Archeozoic.

1095  01:34:30:20  01:34:32:37  Did you know  the whole geologic column is bologna?

1096  01:34:32:40  01:34:43:47  It doesn't exist. We cover that on video #4.

1097  01:34:43:47  01:34:49:53  All over the world petrified trees are found standing up connecting these rock layers. A petrified tree connecting a bunch of layers - there can't be millions of years difference in the age of the layers.

1098  01:34:49:53  01:34:52:03  One is at Cookville, Tennessee- not far from here.

1099  01:34:52:03  01:34:55:77  The bottom is coalified; the center is petrified; the top is coalified again.

1100  01:34:55:77  01:34:59:20  The tree trunk runs through two coal seams.

1101  01:34:59:20  01:35:02:47  We cover more of that in video #6 about coal formation. Mount Saint Helens blew trees into Spirit Lake. 

1102  01:35:02:47  01:35:07:27  They're going to petrify very quickly - standing up.

1103  01:35:07:30  01:35:13:10  That's the way they sank to the bottom. They got water logged. Wood petrifies quickly.  Here is petrified firewood.

1104  01:35:13:10  01:35:17:50  Here is a petrified fish giving birth. It does not take millions of years to give birth.

1105  01:35:17:50  01:35:21:53  Petrified cowboy boot with the cowboy's leg still in it.

1106  01:35:21:53  01:35:26:80  The article's on the table down here called "The Limestone Cowboy."

1107  01:35:26:80  01:35:40:90  The Mississippi River is depositing sediments at the rate of 80,000 tons every hour. 80,000 tons of mud comes down and dumps off round New Orleans and that delta is growning larger and larger.

1108  01:35:40:90  01:35:47:67  They studied the delta pretty carefully, and they say it probably took 30,000 years to put all that mud out there in the delta.

1109  01:35:47:67  01:35:50:30  Well then, I have a question.

1110  01:35:50:30  01:35:56:77  If the earth is millions of years old, why isn't the whole Gulf of Mexico full of mud by now?

1111  01:35:56:77  01:36:06:67  They'll say, "Hovind, it's 30,000 years; that proves the Bible is wrong. The Bible says 6,000." I know, but I have a theory about that.

1112  01:36:06:67  01:36:12:47  I believe 6,000 years ago God made everything; 4,400 hundred years ago there was a Flood.

1113  01:36:12:47  01:36:19:97  As the floodwater was running off, about half of that mud washed out there in 20 minutes.

1114  01:36:19:97  01:36:28:60  So it looks like it took 30,000 years to get the mud out there.  It took about 20 minutes and then 4,400 years since then.

1115  01:36:28:63  01:36:30:83  A friend of mine from Louisiana is a pastor of a church.

1116  01:36:30:83  01:36:37:47  He said, "Brother Hovind, I used to work in the oil field drilling in the Gulf of Mexico- drilling for oil."

1117  01:36:37:47  01:36:44:37  He said, "We drilled down through 14,000 feet of mud and hit trees 60 feet tall standing up."

1118  01:36:44:37  01:36:48:70  60-foot vertical trees under 14,000 feet of mud.

1119  01:36:48:70  01:36:51:20  More about that on video #6.

1120  01:36:51:20  01:36:53:83  Here is a picture of the oldest tree on the planet.

1121  01:36:53:87  01:36:56:23  It's called the Bristle cone pine.

1122  01:36:56:27  01:36:59:60  We have a piece of Bristle cone in our museum in Pensacola.

1123  01:36:59:60  01:37:03:70  It's only 30 inches in diameter and it's 700 years old. You can count the rings with a magnifying glass.

1124  01:37:03:73  01:37:07:80  It grows real slow. Now tree-ring dating is not an exact science.

1125  01:37:07:80  01:37:11:80  Trees can produce two rings a year or three rings a year.

1126  01:37:11:80  01:37:15:37  And be very careful about tree-ring dating with overlapping sequencing.

1127  01:37:15:37  01:37:17:93  We cover more on that during video #7, Q & A time, if you would like.

1128  01:37:17:93  01:37:26:50  The oldest tree in the world, this textbook says, is 4,300 years old, earth's oldest organism.

1129  01:37:26:53  01:37:30:90  That's a pretty old tree. But I've got a question.

1130  01:37:30:90  01:37:35:07  If the earth is millions of years old, why don't we have an older tree someplace?

1131  01:37:35:07  01:37:42:03  Why would the oldest tree be 4,300 years old? I have a theory about that. Here's my theory.

1132  01:37:42:03  01:37:48:17  I believe about 6,000 years ago God made everything; 4,400 years ago there was a Flood.

1133  01:37:48:17  01:37:56:33  And so I predict the oldest tree ought to be somewhere around 4,300 years old. It is! Wow!

1134  01:37:56:37  01:37:59:87  Maybe that Bible is right! Maybe I ought to read that thing and believe it.

1135  01:37:59:87  01:38:05:27  Here is a picture of a coral reef. Did you know that the largest reef in the world is in Australia?

1136  01:38:05:27  01:38:09:70  I had a call from a church in Brisbane one time. They said, "Do you want to come preach over here in Australia?"

1137  01:38:09:70  01:38:13:87  I said I need to pray about this. (He said, "Yes!")  I took my whole family over to Austrailia with me.

1138  01:38:13:87  01:38:20:47  My daughter and I got to go scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef. It was incredible!

1139  01:38:20:47  01:38:26:13  Some of the reef was destroyed during World War II by ships and anchors and bombs and stuff like that.

1140  01:38:26:17  01:38:29:80  So the environmentalists went out there to see how fast it grows back.

1141  01:38:29:80  01:38:40:87  They watched the reef grow for 20 years. (It was a government project.)

1142  01:38:40:90  01:38:48:13  After watching it grow for 20 years, they said the reef is less than 4,200 years old.

1143  01:38:48:13  01:38:51:30  OK. Well, than I have a question.

1144  01:38:51:30  01:38:56:00  If the earth is millions of years old, why don't we have a bigger reef someplace?

1145  01:38:56:00  01:39:04:47  Why on earth would the biggest reef be only 4,200 years old? I have a theory about that.

1146  01:39:04:47  01:39:10:53  I bet you know what it is, don't you? Can you figure it out by now? Here's a picture of Niagara Falls.

1147  01:39:10:53  01:39:16:23  The textbook says, "Boys and girls, the rocky ledge above Niagara Falls has been eroding for nearly 9,900 years."

1148  01:39:16:23  01:39:17:97  Now how do they know that? Well, the rocks are breaking off the edge.

1149  01:39:17:97  01:39:27:60  I mean, all waterfalls do that. They break rocks off and the waterfall eats its way backwards. Flows one direction; erodes the other direction.

1150  01:39:27:63  01:39:31:73  Niagara Falls is moving back 4.7 feet a year.

1151  01:39:31:73  01:39:40:73  Charles Lyell went there in 1841 and said, "Well, Niagara Falls is here. Obviously, it started up here at the cliff by Lewiston, New York [moving back down the gully]."

1152  01:39:40:73  01:39:48:90  He said, "10,000 years worth of erosion." The people that lived there said, "Charlie, it erodes a whole lot faster than you think.

1153  01:39:48:90  01:39:55:53  One good rainstorm and there is a whole lot of erosion takes place." He figured three feet a year

1154  01:39:55:57  01:39:58:27  (purposely to make the Bible look wrong).

1155  01:39:58:27  01:40:00:87  He hated the Bible. We get into more about him in video #4.

1156  01:40:00:87  01:40:04:23  Today Niagara Falls is way back there, split over that island.

1157  01:40:04:23  01:40:08:97  There are actually two Niagara Falls: the Canadian side and the American side.

1158  01:40:08:97  01:40:12:50  It has eroded back quite a ways just since Charles Lyles' time.

1159  01:40:12:53  01:40:23:07  The textbook says, "This gorge that the river runs into is 7.5 miles long. A simple calculation shows it's been 9,900 years." Oh, it's not that simple.

1160  01:40:23:07  01:40:28:47  See Niagara Falls is right here. It started up further north up by Lewiston.

1161  01:40:28:47  01:40:33:93  If the earth is millions of years old, why hasn't it eroded back to Lake Erie by now?

1162  01:40:33:93  01:40:41:60  Why is Niagara Falls right there? I have a theory about that. Here is my theory.

1163  01:40:41:60  01:40:47:10  You see about 6,000 years ago, God made everything; and 4,400 years ago there was a Flood.

1164  01:40:47:10  01:40:52:67  As the floodwater was running off, about half of that creek washed out in 20 minutes.

1165  01:40:52:70  01:40:57:30  So it looks like it took 9,900 years. They forgot  the Flood.

1166  01:40:57:30  01:41:03:00  They also forgot to get the right number. It should have been 8,400 had they used 4.7, but what do you expect?

1167  01:41:03:00  01:41:05:90  When it rains, 30% of the water runs into the ocean,

1168  01:41:05:90  01:41:11:07  bringing with it mineral salts. The oceans are getting saltier every day.

1169  01:41:11:07  01:41:17:27  Today the oceans are 3.6% salt. They could have done that in less than 5,000 years.

1170  01:41:17:27  01:41:21:93  Question: Why aren't the oceans saltier?

1171  01:41:21:97  01:41:28:43  Well, you see 6,000 years ago God made everything; 4,400 years ago there was a Flood.

1172  01:41:28:43  01:41:33:50  Now since the Flood's been over, the oceans have gradually gotten saltier.

1173  01:41:33:50  01:41:39:43  One atheist I debated said, "Hovind, can you please tell me how the fresh-water fish survived the Flood?"

1174  01:41:39:43  01:41:48:73  I said, "Sir, aren't you assuming the flood was salt water." He said, "The ocean is salt water." I said, "It is - today.

1175  01:41:48:73  01:41:57:57  During the Flood it was probably mostly fresh water and it has gradually gotten saltier. And today some animals have had to adapt to salt water.

1176  01:41:57:57  01:42:04:53  And now we have fresh-water crocodiles, and salt-water crocodiles, and they probably had a common ancestor.

1177  01:42:04:53  01:42:10:83  A crocodile." He said, "That's evolution." I said, "No, it's not.

1178  01:42:10:83  01:42:22:17  "Going from a fresh-water croc to a salt-water croc is a minor change compared to your evolution story. You believe they changed from a rock to a croc. Now, that's a major change!"

1179  01:42:22:17  01:42:27:73  A friend of mine in Alabama raises fish and said he took a fresh-water fish, Black Mollys.

1180  01:42:27:73  01:42:32:20  He slowly added salt to their aquarium. In two weeks, they became salt-water fish.

1181  01:42:32:20  01:42:36:43  When he put them back in fresh water, they died in 30 minutes.

1182  01:42:36:43  01:42:38:63  They can adapt to salt water, not a problem.

1183  01:42:38:63  01:42:46:17  How many have ever gone into a cave and the guide said, "Don't touch the formations; they take millions of years to form." They've all got the same speech, right?

1184  01:42:46:17  01:42:53:83  What's the one in Kentucky? Mammoth Cave? Or go to Carlsbad Caverns, and they say it took 250 million years.

1185  01:42:53:87  01:43:09:20  They did a study on these stalactites. And one guy said, "You know, the fastest they can grow is 2.5 inches per thousand years. That's the maximum growth rate." I don't think so. Here are some 50-inch stalactites growing under the Lincoln Memorial.

1186  01:43:09:20  01:43:12:63  They did that in 40 years. Here is a bat covered up with flowstone before it could even rot.

1187  01:43:12:63  01:43:17:63  Here are 2-inch stalactites growing off a refrigeration shed in Pensacola, Florida.

1188  01:43:17:63  01:43:25:43  Here is a guy in a building in Indiana built just 40 years ago. It has huge cave formations in the basement of the building from water leaking through the limestone.

1189  01:43:25:43  01:43:38:00  Here's a mine that was shut down in Australia for 55 years. When they opened it back up to check it out, there were already huge cave formations in 55 years.

1190  01:43:38:00  01:43:43:80  Here is a pipe that was dripping for 7 years. It made a 13-inch stalactite. I thought it was 2.5 inches per thousand years. It's more like 2 inches per year.

1191  01:43:43:80  01:43:49:30  They broke off the stalagmite that was under it and gave it to me. It's in my museum.

1192  01:43:49:30  01:43:55:97  Here is a parking garage built in 1997 in Texas. It was making stalagmites on the students' cars parking under it.

1193  01:43:55:97  01:43:59:43  They had to put up a drip pan to catch the water.

1194  01:43:59:43  01:44:05:63  A guy in Wyoming had a hot mineral spring on his property in Thermopolis, Wyoming; so he stuck a pipe in the ground.

1195  01:44:05:63  01:44:13:10  The water came out the top of the pipe and bubbled down the side of the top of the pipe. They had a little fountain. They called it the Tepee Fountain.

1196  01:44:13:10  01:44:16:67  Well, the guy died. They left the pipe sticking in the yard.

1197  01:44:16:67  01:44:21:13  As the pipe was there, it left behind mineral deposits as the water evaporated.

1198  01:44:21:13  01:44:24:93  How many have seen these mineral deposits? You get them on your sink up here.

1199  01:44:24:93  01:44:32:23  The guy died, and about 95 years later, the pipe was still stuck in the ground. I went to see it.

1200  01:44:32:23  01:44:40:63  Here it is, back in 1998. That would take some Lime A-way to scrub that thing clean, don't you think?

1201  01:44:40:67  01:44:47:93  Yes, a little bit. The guy down the street started his later. It's not quite as big.

1202  01:44:47:93  01:44:53:80  You know, at the current rate of erosion, the continents will erode flat in 14 million years?

1203  01:44:53:80  01:44:57:67  Why do they tell us that we've got fossils that are 300 times older than that, still above sea level?

1204  01:44:57:67  01:45:01:10  They should have washed out to sea 300 times.

1205  01:45:01:10  01:45:06:67  All you've got to do is fly out west and look at the erosion patterns, and you will say, "This place was destroyed by a flood."

1206  01:45:06:67  01:45:09:43  The whole world was destroyed by a Flood.

1207  01:45:09:47  01:45:14:20  Just fly around like I do and look out the window once in a while.

1208  01:45:14:23  01:45:23:33  The oldest languages in the world are kind of interesting. "Origin of Major Writing Systems" from "National Geographic." What do they say?

1209  01:45:23:33  01:45:32:20  Well, they say that the oldest writing systems in the world started about 3,000 BC - 5,000 years ago.

1210  01:45:32:20  01:45:39:33  The oldest writing systems. And the oldest languages are modern, sophisticated, and complete.

1211  01:45:39:33  01:45:43:33  The Chinese said the year 2,000 was the year 4,700.

1212  01:45:43:33  01:45:49:07  They think they started their calendar with the Flood. They called Noah, Phu Hi.

1213  01:45:49:10  01:45:57:97  The oldest recorded capital punishment was 3,800 years ago. The Hebrew calendar said the year 2000 was 5760.

1214  01:45:57:97  01:46:05:07  We know the Hebrew calendar was messed up because a Rabbi purposely took some years out, to make it not match the prophecy to fit Jesus.

1215  01:46:05:10  01:46:11:63  The Saxons had a genealogy going back to Adam. The Danes and Norwegians had a king list going back to Noah.

1216  01:46:11:63  01:46:15:40  Don't trust the Egyptian king list. It is greatly exaggerated.

1217  01:46:15:40  01:46:18:17  See the work by Courville on that, in "The Evolution Cruncher."

1218  01:46:18:17  01:46:23:47  Why are the oldest reliable historical records less than 6,000 years old?

1219  01:46:23:47  01:46:29:77  Well, I have a theory about that. I bet you know what it is, don't you?

1220  01:46:29:77  01:46:34:20  That Bible is absolutely right, folks. Absolutely correct, scientifically.

1221  01:46:34:20  01:46:38:77  The evidence for a young earth is overwhelming. Students aren't taught that.

1222  01:46:38:77  01:46:44:67  Students are only shown the evidence for an old earth. Remember the coins in the box?

1223  01:46:44:67  01:46:48:77  They'd better deal with the youngest ones. Not the oldest ones.

1224  01:46:48:80  01:46:53:00  These books aren't really science books anymore. They are books about evolution.

1225  01:46:53:00  01:46:56:67  I think it's part of a much bigger picture, for a New World Order.

1226  01:46:56:67  01:46:59:63  You see, the guys that started this country said, "We hold these truths to be self evident...

1227  01:46:59:63  01:47:23:00  All men are created equal, they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights."

1228  01:47:23:00  01:47:30:70  But did you know that 75% of kids from Christian homes who go to public schools will reject the Christian faith after one year of college?

1229  01:47:30:73  01:47:32:90  That's what happened to Crawford Toy.

1230  01:47:32:90  01:47:39:47  Most people have never heard of Crawford Toy, but he was a very famous Southern Baptist seminary professor.

1231  01:47:39:47  01:47:44:40  He almost married a girl named Lottie Moon. Has anybody ever heard of Lottie Moon?

1232  01:47:44:40  01:47:48:97  You know, you guys have the Lottie Moon offering every Christmas. She was a great missionary to China.

1233  01:47:48:97  01:47:55:77  Crawford Toy, after the Civil War, went to Europe and learned about evolution.

1234  01:47:55:77  01:47:59:03  He sucked it in, and believed it. He became an evolutionist.

1235  01:47:59:03  01:48:04:37  Crawford came back to his Bible class and said, "You know, the Bible intends to teach a plain six-day creation.

1236  01:48:04:37  01:48:09:73  The Bible is simply in error at that point."

1237  01:48:09:73  01:48:13:03  The Bible is in error?! Now Crawford, hold on!

1238  01:48:13:03  01:48:19:97  Maybe your theory is in error and maybe you got brainwashed. It's very easy to get brainwashed.

1239  01:48:19:97  01:48:24:63  I am going to try to brainwash the whole crowd, and then we are going to quit and go home.

1240  01:48:24:63  01:48:29:80  Tomorrow we'll talk about the Garden of Eden. What was that like? And why did they live to be 900?

1241  01:48:29:80  01:48:32:13  But first, I want to try to brainwash everybody. Here's what's going to happen.

1242  01:48:32:13  01:48:37:90  I am going to tell you a little story. As I tell the story, I will brainwash you.

1243  01:48:37:93  01:48:42:97  Maybe you've never been brainwashed before. It's a harmless procedure. Don't worry about it.

1244  01:48:43:00  01:48:47:57  When I am done telling the story, I will ask you two simple questions about the story.

1245  01:48:47:57  01:48:51:43  If you know the answer, I just want you to raise your hand.

1246  01:48:51:43  01:48:56:07  If you don't know the answer, it will be because you have been successfully brainwashed.

1247  01:48:56:07  01:49:03:90  Now pay attention: here goes the story. Once upon a time, a man left home, jogging.

1248  01:49:03:93  01:49:09:17  He jogged a little ways and turned left. He jogged a little ways and turned left.

1249  01:49:09:17  01:49:13:00  He jogged a little ways, turned left, and jogged back home.

1250  01:49:13:03  01:49:18:40  As he was jogging home, he noticed two masked men waiting for him at home.

1251  01:49:18:40  01:49:22:70  Who were the masked men? And why did he leave home jogging?

1252  01:49:22:70  01:49:27:33  If you know, raise your hand, but don't say it out loud. There are about five or six.

1253  01:49:27:33  01:49:32:23  The rest of you, pay attention, we are going to try it again.

1254  01:49:32:23  01:49:37:53  Once upon a time, a man left home jogging. He jogged a little ways and turned left.

1255  01:49:37:57  01:49:42:30  I'll give you a hint - that's important. He jogged a little ways and turned left.

1256  01:49:42:33  01:49:46:20  He jogged a little ways, turned left, and jogged back home.

1257  01:49:46:23  01:49:50:13  As he was jogging home, he noticed two masked men waiting for him at home.

1258  01:49:50:13  01:49:54:27  Who were the masked men? And why did he leave home jogging?

1259  01:49:54:27  01:49:58:73  Anybody new figure it out? ...Two more.

1260  01:49:58:73  01:50:04:20  The rest of you, pay attention. We are going to try it one more time.

1261  01:50:04:20  01:50:07:67  But now I am going to un-brainwash you.

1262  01:50:07:67  01:50:12:53  See, you didn't realize it, but I had you brainwashed in the first three seconds.

1263  01:50:12:53  01:50:17:17  I am going to un-brainwash all of you now, just by showing you a couple of pictures.

1264  01:50:17:17  01:50:21:97  I'll tell the same story word for word, but watch the pictures.

1265  01:50:22:00  01:50:24:10  You will feel yourself get un-brainwashed.

1266  01:50:24:10  01:50:28:40  It's the coolest feeling. Are you ready? Here goes.

1267  01:50:28:40  01:50:33:17  Once upon a time, a man left home jogging. He jogged a little ways and turned left.

1268  01:50:33:17  01:50:41:53  He jogged a little ways and turned left. He jogged a little ways, turned left, and jogged back home.

1269  01:50:41:57  01:50:47:00  As he was jogging home, he noticed two masked men waiting for him at home.

1270  01:50:47:00  01:50:52:37  Who were the masked men? The catcher and the umpire!

1271  01:50:52:37  01:50:59:13  You say, "Brother Hovind, is it that easy to get brainwashed?" Oh yeah!

1272  01:50:59:13  01:51:02:13  You see, as soon as I said, "A man left home..."

1273  01:51:02:13  01:51:05:50  You started thinking about a house. And you were off track.

1274  01:51:05:50  01:51:10:00  And once you get off track, it's pretty tough to get back on.

1275  01:51:10:00  01:51:15:47  Would you like to see how kids get brainwashed in your school system by the millions every year?

1276  01:51:15:47  01:51:21:53  Millions of kids in America, every single year, get brainwashed. And it's so simple how they do it.

1277  01:51:21:53  01:51:25:53  They put the kid in kindergarten; he can't even read yet.

1278  01:51:25:53  01:51:31:07  And they give him a book like this: "I Can Read About Dinosaurs."

1279  01:51:31:07  01:51:36:13  Would anybody like to just take a wild guess at what the first sentence in the book says?

1280  01:51:36:13  01:51:39:30  "Millions of years ago...."

1281  01:51:39:30  01:51:44:83  And that kid's being thrown off track in the first five seconds.

1282  01:51:44:83  01:51:52:53  How many kids are being taught that in your town? Like all of them. That's calling Jesus a liar.

1283  01:51:52:57  01:51:59:10  Did dinosaurs live millions of years ago? Dr. Seuss even says it, "Millions of years before you were born."

1284  01:51:59:10  01:52:03:13  Jesus said the creation of Adam was the beginning.

1285  01:52:03:13  01:52:10:30  Somebody's wrong, folks! Now wait a minute, the Bible says before the Flood came, they lived to be 900 years old.

1286  01:52:10:30  01:52:19:37  How is that possible? Oh, we'll cover that in seminar part #2 tomorrow. What about the Flood?

1287  01:52:19:37  01:52:23:63  Well, that's covered in video #6. And what about dinosaurs? Well, that's covered on video #3.

1288  01:52:23:63  01:52:30:50  But listen, you are going to be told in school you started like a slime and you slowly became a human. You be careful, because that philosophy will spoil you.

1289  01:52:30:50  01:52:40:93  Jesus said, "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ."

1290  01:52:40:93  01:52:46:00 Hey, if a child goes 12 to 16 years to school in your town, how is he going to view the world?

1291  01:52:46:00  01:52:49:27  Probably as an evolutionist.

1292  01:52:49:27  01:52:55:77  If the Bible is right about the beginning, maybe it's right about the end. Let's summarize here.

1293  01:52:55:77  01:53:01:70  God made the world. He owns it. He makes the rules. And we are all guilty of breaking His rules.

1294  01:53:01:70  01:53:05:27  Everyone of us. Let me show you. Here are the Ten Commandments.

1295  01:53:05:27  01:53:13:27  He told us, "Thou shall not bear false witness." (Don't lie.) How many of you have ever told a lie in your life?

1296  01:53:13:27  01:53:18:10  Put your hand up, or you're telling another one if you don't!

1297  01:53:18:10  01:53:23:07  "Thou shalt not steal." How many ever stole something?

1298  01:53:23:07  01:53:29:27  Come on, you already told me you are a liar. Put your hand up. (Did your hand go up, there, brother? Put it up.)

1299  01:53:29:27  01:53:32:87  So far, we know we're all a bunch of lying thieves, right?

1300  01:53:32:87  01:53:36:60  Do you want to read the whole list and see how we are doing? We'd better stop right there.

1301  01:53:36:60  01:53:39:17  There is no question, we are guilty. And we are going to be punished.

1302  01:53:39:17  01:53:43:27  God is a righteous judge. He cannot look upon sin, and we are going to be punished.

1303  01:53:43:27  01:53:48:90  Or, you need to find a substitute. That's where Jesus comes in.

1304  01:53:48:90  01:53:50:87  He wants to pay for your sins.

1305  01:53:50:87  01:53:56:57  Thirty-six years ago, I told him he could pay for mine. I asked him to forgive me and save me.

1306  01:53:56:57  01:54:05:43  Hey, if you died today, where would you go? Smoking or non-smoking?

1307  01:54:05:47  01:54:08:13  Where are you going when you die?

1308  01:54:08:13  01:54:12:87  You ought to think about that, because you are going to be dead for a really long time.

1309  01:54:12:87  01:54:18:80  All you get in this life is a little bitty dash between two dates. I am going to die someday.

1310  01:54:18:80  01:54:24:73  I am going to try to make it the last thing I do, but it's going to happen. It could happen today.

1311  01:54:24:77  01:54:28:77  Have you seen the way they drive around Knoxville, Tennessee?

1312  01:54:28:77  01:54:31:87  You have got some certified rednecks out there, folks.

1313  01:54:31:87  01:54:35:43  And you could get killed on the way home tonight. Where are you going when you die?

1314  01:54:35:43  01:54:41:50  If you are not sure you are saved, why don't you ask the Lord to forgive you and save you.

1315  01:54:41:53  01:54:44:93  And if you are saved, what on earth are you doing for Heaven's sake?

1316  01:54:44:97  01:54:50:63  Everybody ought to find something to do for the Lord. There is a war going on; find something to do.

1317  01:54:50:63  01:54:55:20  Get busy. Win souls. Be a Sunday school teacher, bus driver; do something for God with your life.

1318  01:54:55:20  01:54:58:00  If we can help, that is what our materials are for. There's a catalog on the back table back there.

1319  01:54:58:00  01:55:02:73  as well as our videos. We want to help strengthen your faith in God's Word.

1320  01:55:02:73  01:55:06:67  We hope you've enjoyed this series on creation, evolution, and dinosaurs.

1321  01:55:06:67  01:55:10:43  Much more important, though, than knowing all the truths and facts about science,

1322  01:55:10:43  01:55:12:90  is to know the truth about whether you're going to Heaven or not.

1323  01:55:12:93  01:55:15:00  If you've never trusted Christ as your Savior,

1324  01:55:15:00  01:55:18:10  Let me explain quickly what you need to do to be able to go to Heaven.

1325  01:55:18:13  01:55:21:47  The Bible says we're all sinners. We've all broken God's laws.

1326  01:55:21:47  01:55:26:60  We've disobeyed the Creator. We've done wicked things; we're sinners.

1327  01:55:26:60  01:55:30:83  Some are worse than others, at least in man's eyes, but we've all broken God's laws.

1328  01:55:30:83  01:55:34:27  The Bible says you have to repent. The word repent means "to turn."

1329  01:55:34:27  01:55:38:13  It actually means two things, "to turn from your sin, and to turn to God."

1330  01:55:38:13  01:55:40:50  God's looking for a change in your attitude.

1331  01:55:40:50  01:55:44:87  You say, "Lord, I don't want to do wrong anymore; I'm sorry I have offended You. I want to do right."

1332  01:55:44:87  01:55:48:00  And you turn from sin and you turn to God.

1333  01:55:48:03  01:55:50:47  You say, "God, would you please forgive me, would you save me?"

1334  01:55:50:47  01:55:54:27  The Bible says in Romans 3:23,

1335  01:55:54:30  01:55:58:43  "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." You need to admit you're a sinner.

1336  01:55:58:43  01:56:02:77  Number two, the Bible says in Romans 6:23, "The wages of sin is death."

1337  01:56:02:77  01:56:08:27  We deserve to die and go to hell because of our sin, but Jesus died for you.

1338  01:56:08:27  01:56:10:57  He loves you. He wants you come to Heaven.

1339  01:56:10:57  01:56:15:23  Anybody that will ask Him for free salvation God will give the gift of eternal life, it says in Romenas 6:23.

1340  01:56:15:27  01:56:24:17  It's a free gift. And it says in Romans 10:13, "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

1341  01:56:24:17  01:56:31:60  If you would just call and say, "Lord, I'm a sinner. Please forgive me," and ask Him, He will give you that free gift of eternal life.

1342  01:56:31:60  01:56:34:57  Why don't you just pray with me right now and you could receive Christ as your Savior.

1343  01:56:34:57  01:56:39:60  There are no magic words; God's looking at your heart, but if you could say this and mean it, God would forgive you.

1344  01:56:39:60  01:56:46:77  Just say, "Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I'm a sinner. I've broken Your laws. I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

1345  01:56:46:77  01:56:54:20  Please apply Your blood to my account. Forgive my sins and take me to Heaven. In Jesus' name, Amen."

1346  01:56:54:23  01:56:57:37  The Bible says if you call upon the Lord, you shall be saved.

1347  01:56:57:37  01:57:01:67  So if you've asked the Lord to save you, He promised He'd save you. Now your job is to grow.

1348  01:57:01:67  01:57:06:80  Read your Bible, pray, get involved in a good Bible-believing church, and begin to grow to be a good Christian.

1349  01:57:06:80  01:57:09:93  Thank you so much. Call or write if we can be any help at all. We'd be glad to help.
