Walks into a bar on. The bartender goes hey buddy why the long face.
Okay one more one more joke bill and then we'll get started.
Uh a photon goes to a hotel and the clerk says do you have any luggage and the photon says no i'm traveling light.
Oh okay oh don't don't get me rolling. Okay let's get started.
All right let's go ahead and get started. So i'm terry camerizelle here with creation fellowship santee we're a group of friends bound by our common agreement that the creation account as told in genesis is a true depiction of how god created the universe and all life from nothing in just six days a few thousand years ago.
We've been meeting most thursday nights here on zoom since june of 2020. We've been blessed with presentations by pastors teachers doctors cartoonists scientists apologists and all around smarty pants people who love the lord and have a message to share.
You can find most of our past videos by searching creation fellowship santee that's s-a-n-t-e-e on youtube. Follow us on our creation fellowship santee facebook page and sign up for our email list by emailing creation fellowship santee at gmail .com so you don't miss any upcoming speakers.
Tonight we are actually blessed to have our first virtually their speaker bill morgan back with us. And so since that time things have changed a little bit. I don't think that the night that he came we any of us expected to still be here this much later but you can actually go back to our youtube channel and see that first video.
And tonight we're going to have him speak a little bit of a different topic but let me introduce him first. Tell you a little bit about him. He's a mechanical engineer. He's been a mechanical engineer for 37 years.
His work included design work on nuclear submarines. He was raised going to church but became an atheist when his biology teacher told him that we were descendants of ape men. He truly thought christians were anti-science morons.
That's sad but science led him back to christ. He is debated over 40 atheists and he goes street witnessing three or four times a week telling lost sheep about truth hope peace and eternal life. You can find his youtube channel by searching for bill morgan channel on youtube people can call him also.
I'll let him give out his phone number if he's ready to. When he's ready to you can if you want. Oh okay. Well his phone number is 714 -898 -8331. And if you'd like to talk to him about creation topics he's more than willing to to talk to you and to tell you about god.
So with that we are happy to welcome bill morgan. Go ahead. Bill. Well thank you. Uh do you.
Want me to share my screen now. Sure all right. And there it is. All right. Can you see it. We absolutely can see it. Okay. Well great. Well thank you. It's a privilege and an honor to be here. I was thinking back of the old days where i would work a 10-hour day and drive 240 miles round trip to do these lessons.
Now i'm sitting on my comfortable bed doing it. So technology is a beautiful thing. I am going to talk about my favorite animal. And i hope all of you look at dogs differently after this meeting and all of you have more and more wonder and awe of the greatness of god.
Undescribable greatness undescribable brilliance in our creator god and he's glorified with our dog. So as i i said before we started if anybody wants my powerpoint or my slides you can email me. I still have a hotmail email billyjack1 at hotmail .com and i will get you my powerpoint slides.
So and i love participation in the group when i ask don't hesitate to feel uh that you may join in. Okay so i have a theory on noah's ark. Only one animal had their head outside the ark's window. And of course that would be the dog.
The dog is enjoying the time on noah's ark. So a good question are dogs designed. Atheists think every atom every molecule every cell is a result of time nature and chance. I politely say that's a very sad pitiful observation.
They can't even explain how one atom came to be. In a past debate i asked my opponent what evolved first the proton the electron or the neutron. And then how did they come together. It's a whole nother topic.
But i believe atoms are designed. And of course dogs are designed. And so is cuteness designed any amens to that. So there's a picture of my dog. And i love to encourage everybody to study your dog and glorify god.
I love to tell children study your pets. And when you see something really cool tell your parents about it. Study your pet and ask why did god design it this way. I'm pretty sure there's some things in this lesson you've seen before on dogs but weren't sure what they did.
And hopefully you'll be educated and glorify god even more our holy scripture. You are worthy oh lord to receive glory and honor and power. For you have created all things. I think the foundation for our faith is that he's our creator.
I truly believe a lot of angry atheists think that god can't possibly exist because of suffering. That they've gone through everybody in this chat everybody watching this has gone through hard times and suffering.
We need a solid foundation in our belief in god and that's him as our creator. And i do have sympathy and compassion for those that are hurting and angry because of suffering. And i love to evangelize to them.
So i need a volunteer who would like to volunteer.
Shout out your name and you can be my volunteer. Come on guys don't make me have to do it all.
Who wants to volunteer. Okay okay okay. Rachel's volunteering. Okay rachel i have a a project for you. Rachel you are just placed in charge of a very very important project. You can hire everybody on the planet.
You've got eight billion people. Rachel working for you. Suppose you had unlimited funding 900 trillion dollars. You could utilize every laboratory in the world. Rachel. How could you possibly fail in this project.
Right. Could you and every person on the earth design and build a living dog. What do you think rachel. No i don't think so it'd be. Wait a minute. You got eight billion people. The average iq is a hundred.
The schools teach nature could build and design and build a living dog. Nature has an iq of zero. If nature could build and design a dog why can't every person on earth does that make sense. It is absolutely pitiful to believe nature which has the ability to push dust around on a windy day or provide warmth now and here and there could design and build a living dog.
But sadly that's what our kids are being taught in school is intellectual where we all know all the king's horses and all the king's men could never build a living dog. I like to. I stole this from a different creation speaker and i love it.
God does not make things. God makes systems. Let's talk about systems real quick. Dogs are a system. Let's just talk about dogs. They have a circulatory system a digestive system a nervous system an immune system a circulatory system a skeletal system.
Which system is the most important for them to live. Anybody can join in. How would you answer that. Which systems are most important for a dog to be alive. I think james has an answer. Smell very good.
But that's no good without a circulatory system. Circulatory and a muscular. Well the obviously they're all essential to live. You can't live without any of the system. Systems mean there's many many components.
Let's look at the circulatory system just as an example. The circulatory system is a system. The heart is a system. The tissue in the heart is a system. The cells are a system. The molecules are a system.
And going down to the atoms they're a system. Protons neutrons and electrons. Systems cannot come to be in a living organism by a step-by-step process. You can't evolve a respiratory system on monday.
A digestive system on tuesday. A nervous system on wednesday. For a dog to be living all the systems need to be what they're instantly at the same time supporting each other. God makes systems. He doesn't make things.
God as great and as powerful as he is. I might get hit by lightning but i don't think so as awesome and powerful as god is. He couldn't create through evolution. He can't create by a step-by-step process to make a living thing.
He did not make a brain on a monday and heart on a tuesday. A stomach on a wednesday. He made everything in place. If god almighty could not create through evolution. Comma nature could not create through evolution.
How does nature make a lung. How does nature make a heart. And how does nature put them together. It's idiocy and i say that with respect. A supernatural god made everything just like he teaches in genesis instantly.
Okay. So rachel let's imagine you pick a volunteer. Who would you like to pick as a volunteer. I think june wants to be rachel's volunteer. Okay june what is your last name. It's very important. Mcgrevey.
Okay. So june's last name begins the letter m. June these are the sub systems of the dog. You're in charge of designing the muscular system in the dog. Do you think you could do it. I'll give it a shot.
As long as they fund you you'll keep trying. Right. That's right. But for your muscular system to work you got to work with the circulatory the nervous the immune the skeletal and build it together. You guys can see how impossible it is for us humans to even consider doing this much less nature.
But we have a great god who could do this. But these are only a few of the systems that are needed for a dog to survive. Nature could never do it. Well suppose you could create all the parts of a dog.
A stomach a brain the bones. It's still dead. You follow me. What's the difference between a dead dog and a living dog. A dead dog stills got dna rna proteins amino acids cells the systems. You follow me.
But it's still dead. Evolutionists get all excited about the possibility of making amino acids in a laboratory. Big deal. It's not even a protein. And even if it was even if it was a living or a full dog it's still dead.
And they're not even close to that. Of course there's more to life than biology chemistry and physics. When the life force leaves the dog it is dead. Humans could never make that in a laboratory. Any amens to that.
Amen. Amen. Amen. And even if you did make one dog you better make a female dog if it's a male etc. And that would just of course be more and more complex. Trivia time. Who wants a trivia. Question. Uh you can call on someone terry.
Okay i call on bill. Not. You bill other bill. Okay. Okay. I'm ready go for it. Okay bill. On which day did god make the dogs. Uh that would be about the fifth or sixth day. I think answer is on day number six.
Yeah. Bible teaches. He made them instantly male and female. He put them where they had. The right food the right temperature the right gravity the right water the right amount of oxygen. It just gets so complex.
When you're designing systems everything needs to work. And our great god did it everybody. Let's give god some praise for designing building. Layman. How. About a round of applause for god he deserves all.
Right. How do dogs drink water. Terry. Do you want to call on.
Somebody yes um i'm gonna call on on jeff. The other yeah jeff aka alpha rat that's you.
They lap water up they lap it with their tongue and look how they do it. A lot of people don't know this. But they do a little trick. They turn their tongues into a little cup. But they don't get water inside the cup.
Maybe you can see what they do. They turn their tongues into a little cup see that water column and they bite it. What the dogs do is they turn their tongue into a neck. This is a some college guy got a lot of funding to do this and good for him.
The dog bends and you know great. It's good science. The dog bends their tongue lifts the and bites it. If you have a dog study it. Uh as it gets its water and it's always lap lap lap lap lap. They lift it and bite it.
But the creator of the heavens and universe understood the dog and its needs gave him the nerves and muscles and tongue to bend it lift it and instantly bite it. Isn't that a beautiful picture there. Wow.
How many picture have noticed that. At least the dogs that i've had on the roofs of their mouth they've got all these little ridges. Have you guys noticed that. Mm-hmm. Yep yes. Now is there a purpose to this.
Or is this an evolutionary mistake because of mutations. And they're just sitting there doing nothing must have a purpose. It's got a purpose because god made it. Everything in the dog has a purpose. I love teaching lessons like this because it causes me to research and just marvel at god's greatness.
So on the roof of the mouth are these deep little ridges. I always wondered what they were for. You won't believe it. Here is my homemade drawing. As the dog bites the water the water is in its mouth.
The tongue raises and it traps the water in those little ridges. Okay. And in a microsecond instead of the water splashing all over the place the water is stored in those ridges and look at the direction the ridges are pointing the dog swallows it.
Bingo. Isn't god creative. Isn't god great. So the dog bites the water traps it for a millisecond in those nice pockets. Otherwise it would splash all over and then swallows it. Who would like to say amen.
Amen amen. What a great god. Okay. Uh could you quiz someone on this one. Uh terry. Could you ask for a volunteer. Yes. I think rachel can answer this one. True or false. Dogs can see better in the dark than you can.
Sure. I'm gonna say yes. You ever seen that. It's called eyeshine. Uh-huh. Predators have it. Raccoons cats dogs have it. Prey do not have it. Dogs can use this for hunting prey at night and for just running around recklessly at night which is fine.
Behind their retina they have something called the tapetum. I call it a mirror. For humans our light passes through our retina once. For dogs raccoons and cats the light passes through the retina hits the mirror bounces back off.
So they get twice the benefit of the same amount of light as we do. Suppose you go back to tennessee to visit your grandma. And she goes. Could you please go in the basement and get me some firewood. So you open the door to grandma's basement and you see it's dark.
And you see two green lights looking up the stairs at you when you go down those stairs. Well i would certainly at least turn the light on first. But anyways god designed little mirrors behind the retina of the eyes of predators.
Now why doesn't the prey have those. Because they're trying to hide. They don't want two little lights in the middle of night. What a great god bill. Can i add some to that. Please. Um one of my hobbies is calling up predators like coyotes.
Um and at night with the spotlight which is legal. And uh many times when we'd shine the light out there and they'd start coming into the call. You could see their eyes bouncing up and down in the spotlight.
When we turn the light on. Yeah. So it's uh it's pretty cool. I love it. I love it. Such a beautiful dog or animal. The coyote. Do they ever fight one-on-one. Or they always wait till they have a pack.
I think.
It's a pack. Yeah i don't know the answer to that because i hear the pack sometimes and it's crazy.
Mm-hmm. Yeah. They're survivors. Two coyotes can sound like five one. Yeah. I've seen videos where they've intimidated big muscular pit bulls just by their attitude. And the pit bulls are scared the death of them.
It's pretty impressive. True or false. You can call in someone terry. Okay i'm gonna call in diane this time. Okay diane. There's no bad. Guess all the all the air that a dog breathes goes to its lungs.
Um i would say it's probably a trick question. So i'm going to say false. You are correct. It is false. This i just get breathless even though i've taught this before. How amazing this is. When a dog inhales 80 of the air goes to its lungs the brain but 20 goes to something called the olfactory recess.
It's an incredible arrangement of massive surface areas of bends and twists as it zoomed in a little bit where it can fine-tune sense smell. So 20 of what a dog breathes goes towards its brain for a sense of smell.
The dog is so well designed for smelling jeremiah 10 12. It is he who made the earth by his power who established the world by his wisdom. What a creative god. Amen. Every design has to start with an idea.
So god had the idea of the dog's olfactory recess before he could design it and then build it. What an amazing god. Can we get an amen. Amen amen amen. I love this is a good witnessing tip. If you see somebody walking their dog you can share this with them.
A dog can remember everything it has smelt its entire life. Every time it has smelt that fire hydrant. It knows the entire history of the past smells of that fire hydrant. That's because their brain is designed to store this memory.
Dogs versus human sense of smell. A human can smell a teaspoon of sugar in a cup of coffee. Guess how much liquid a dog can smell a teaspoon of sugar. Two olympic-sized swimming pools. Amazing. And if you don't believe me there's the reference down there at the bottom.
And i love to ask people how many think that would be the most awesome party ever to go to a swimming pool with about 40 dogs. Wouldn't that be great. Absolutely. That would be my dream party. I was thinking of starting a business called dog pool party.
And i might make a ton of money huh. But anyways i just love them. I love how they swim. Now everybody participating. I would like you to sniff 15 times as fast as you can go. You better stop. You're gonna pass out.
When you are inhaling you cannot exhale. How many people have noticed this little slit in the sides of dog's nose. Oh yeah. That's just an evolutionary accident because of mutations that arranged itself in that way.
They don't need it. You agree right. This is an amazing design by an amazing god. A dog can inhale through the middle of its nose and exhale out the side at the same time. Now the humans that just tried to sniff as fast as they could were about to pass out because you couldn't get the air out.
But your dog can sniff the entire kitchen non-stop without stopping to breathe. Because it can inhale in the middle and exhale out the side. Our creator god thought of this designed it and built it. Can we put our trust in him that he knows what he's doing.
He knows what he's doing. Amen. Yeah. Bill. A question. Yes. Is it okay to ask a question now. Absolutely. Um when they're exhaling is that coming from the olfactory section or the lungs. I would say it's coming from the lungs.
But that's a good maybe 20 is coming from the olfactory. Okay. So they can inhale and exhale from the lungs at the same time. Right. Okay. If you watch them sniffing and sniffing the kitchen floor. That's what they're doing.
They flare their little nozzles too. Like if you study them sometimes you can see their nozzles flare as they're exhaling. Thanks. True or false. This one. Uh you can call on someone terry.
Rob you want to answer a question. We'll see if he unmutes himself. Give him a little time. Sure. Okay. Let's let's move on let's try. June june. Oh wait. Rob's ready. Rob's ready to answer.
A question. Rob's turn. Okay i'm muting. Okay. True or false. The dog can shut down its breathing in order to fully concentrate on sniffing. I would guess. Yes that's true. They can send even more air if they want to to really focus on what they're.
Uh sniffing. Okay now dogs stick their heads out of windows. It's one of my favorite things for my son and i to have our dog doing that. You know you blow in their nose and they get mad at you. Right.
They get in the car they stick their head out the window. At 50 miles per hour a cat can't figure it out. Why would a dog do that. Anybody want to take a guess.
Terry you can have that one. I did. Their sense of curiosity i don't know.
They get sensory overload like a young person going to disneyland for the first time so it's like their roller coaster. It's like a buzz for them in a natural way they bring in all the senses and they just couldn't be happier.
What a beautiful animal. They love the odors they love the sensory perception. So hopefully i haven't put any of you guys to sleep yet. You guys all still awake. Look at that beautiful dog. Yes yeah. Now how can a dog sleep 23 hours a day.
You guys ever thought about that. Uh. No i think that they're refueling especially when they're puppies. There's a puppy living with me and he refuels he doesn't sleep. Oh i thought you were.
Allergic but you have one he doesn't shed. So i i'm good good good good good. I think our creator god dog god knew that dogs would live 24 hours a day and they might not have a lot going so they can't sleep a big part of the day away.
But they don't get into a deep sleep like humans so they can tough it out. But they're never as fully rested as us where they don't have the ability to have more sleep. So let me quiz you guys why is it good that typically dogs don't get into as deep asleep as we do.
Anyone can take that and unmute and take a guess how can you smell while you're sleeping. Well one of their functions is protection and they hear things more than we might if we were sleeping side by side because they're not into as deep of a sleep.
But that also gives them the ability to sleep 23 and a half hours a day if need be. So god even designed their sleep cycle. Okay anyone can shout it out which breed of dog has the best sense of smell.
Some kind of a bloodhound. Somebody put that in the chat already. Joyce did she asked if blood has.
Bloodhounds have more going going there. They do bloodhounds and you can empirically measure it. Have more scent receptors than any other dog. When i showed this slide to my daughter when she was about six years old she said daddy i know why he's so sad.
I go. Why. Honey. Because he can smell everything. That's how you might look if you could smell everything. You don't want to smell everything. And the dog the bloodhound can drag his ears on the ground to pick up more smell and the folds of their skin and their face can and hold in more sense of smell.
Did i say sound. The ears can pick up smell sense and on their ears and the folds of their skin. What a beautiful beast. Any comments up to now. Anybody want to add anything or have a question. Uh yeah this is bill.
I just heard that. Uh. And there's some other diseases that they're. They can use dogs uh smelling abilities to diagnose certain diseases now. And they're like prostate cancer is one of them. Um i don't know if it's a sniff urine or what it is.
I think breast cancer might have been one. I can't remember. But i think there's a couple diseases that they can use dogs for diagnosing certain diseases in humans. Absolutely true. The new england journal of medicine did a study where the dogs would sniff a sample versus the chemical laboratory doing a sample.
And the dogs were more accurate in sensing cancer. Certain types of cancers. Gee why don't they use that more. I told my kids the answer to 90 of why questions is money and also ego. Like well according to the dog you've got cancer.
But it's a it's more effective. Their sense of smell can detect it more effectively than our laboratories. Have you ever noticed dogs have little bumps on their lower lips. Uh you can unmute your microphone and share about those little bumps if anybody would like to.
That's a dewlap isn't it. Oh that's a big teeth. I do. Have any idea. That's the name of the lip. Yeah i thought that was called a dewlap. It could be. It could be. I don't know. Off the top of my head.
But i'll have most of you seen those in dogs. Yes i have. They serve no purpose whatsoever. They're an evolutionary accident because of mutation. Oh no. Of course it's not there. They serve a couple of functions now.
I'm not the greatest engineer in the world. But i did. Okay in heat transfer. One of the most important things is surface area. When you're making lots of little bumps like that. What are you doing with the lip.
Surface area. Lip. It's increased. You have more surface area and the dog expels heat through its mouth. That's zoomed in a little bit. I think i'll stick to this one. But it's an increased surface area for them to cool down faster.
And there's another amazing reason for that. They're little suction cups. Have you ever marveled at a dog chomping away on a bone and say how in the world does it not bite its own lip. Yeah. These little bumps are very good on suction and sensitive that it can grasp the outside of the bone and the dog as it chomps away will not accidentally have that lip go on on top of the bone and bite it.
Any amens for that. Amen. Amen. I almost feel sorry for my dog when i get her a bone. I say honey are you gonna bite your lip. But she never does. And she's thrilled to get the bone. And those little bumps help in that.
Okay. Now we need a female volunteer. All. Right. June you're up ready. June i'm ready. I unmuted. Okay. June you are the director of a beauty contest. And there's no. Right. There's.
No wrong answer. You get to pick which one is the most beautiful. Oh i think c is the most beautiful.
Okay there's no bad choice. But ladies and gentlemen does art require an artist. Yes. Does beauty require an artist. Yes. Is god a creative artist. Look at the creativity of god. Terry you said you have a dog.
Is it all one color or multi-colored. Um so we have three dogs. My mom.
Has three dogs and all three of them have multi-colors. Two of them are white with black.
And one is like a salt and pepper. Is every hair like shaded and faded and patterned or is it modeled. I i don't i. Um i. What does it look like a artist painted your dog or it's just a big old mess.
Oh no they're some of them kind of look random. The ones that have white and black it's they're like white with random black spots but it's it's interesting to look at that. But i mean i know the.
Answer. So look at look at b. B's got a triangle in the middle of its head that's amazing. And look at the symmetry and the art how it comes out of the eye every dog terry. The more you study your dog the more you'll see god's beautiful detail of art.
So who who painted the flames on the side of e's.
Muzzle it does. It looks like flames huh.
Oh it does. Wow i love it. I never noticed that. But look at d racing stripes on the ears too. God i like to tell people when i go witnessing. My favorite target group are young people because they're wide open to the gospel and are often discouraged and they often think people don't care or god does.
Nobody cares about him including god if god cares about the color arrangement on dog number e. Does he care about you guys. Yes yes. God is so huge. He cares about every hair on every dog so he does care about you and young old people too.
But young people really need to learn this. So james i'm going to give you dog f i'm going to take dog e and we're going to see whose house is safer at night. Okay. But you know f might make so much noise it would do just a good job right.
Oh well yeah yeah i somehow think the doberman would be better.
But what a creative god. Yeah praise the lord. Someone might say oh this is a typical average dog. But what does the fur tell you about god's artist abilities. Anybody. He's creative. Yeah. He mixes the white with the brown he gives little brown dots above the eyes so just delight in his creation.
But is he entitled to his glory. Amen. Absolutely. Is there anybody in here that does artwork. Oh i'm sorry if i cut someone off. Are there any artists in the group who like to draw or paint.
Like.
Maybe not although i do use photoshop. It was supposed. You did a photoshop terry and then at your church i grabbed it and i went to everybody. I said hey look at my photoshop that i did. I worked really hard on it.
Everybody said wow bill you are so talented you're so great. Oh thank you. How would you feel terry if i got all kinds of praise and honor for what you did.
You and i might not need to have a talk afterward.
But sadly look what the public schools are forced to do with god. God created the flamingo the penguin the elephant the bird and he's getting no glory for it all. Nature made it over millions and millions of years.
We're human and we feel robbed of credit when we do something. Well he is entitled to all the praise and glory for his greatness. Amen amen amen. How many people have taken a dog to the veterinarian and they freak out.
They get scared. You ever notice that. Look at that dog he's at the vet. Do you guys know why they get so scared. Because they can smell everything close very very close. The other day just before i did this lesson my son is uh very tall.
He's six foot four. He's only 16. Dad tripped over a size 13 shoe. I didn't say anything but i felt anger. Anger. I didn't say a word. My dog came running up to me and says are you okay. Did i do anything wrong.
And i was like amazed. She didn't hear me say a word but i sent out you could say a vibe i guess of uh anger. And she wanted to make sure it wasn't her fault. And it wasn't. It's called pheromones. Pheromones.
Have you heard of those. Yes pheromones are amazing thing. What is a pheromone.
Does anybody know they are some kind of a scent but i can't think exactly i know it sometimes has to do with uh attraction. It does absolutely absolutely a pheromone this is.
The definition it's a chemical produced which changes the behavior of another animal of the same species. But i proved that humans and dogs can send them as well. So the dog goes to the vet and the dog can sense fear.
And it's documented. That's an easy thing to document. And dogs can sense happiness fear etc. Over millions of years of evolution the dog evolved the vomeronasal organ. Now this is a beautiful design by a great god.
Inside the dog's snout is a sensory organ to detect pheromones and the dog's nose has to be wet to most effectively pick them up. But the dog have you guys ever noticed that some dogs instantly like you or don't like you or things like that they can detect.
Yes. Yeah. It's amazing. We're always sending and symptoms with people. You ever get good vibes or bad vibes from people. I believe that's pheromones too. But dogs are in very very in tune with these and they can sense fear etc.
Any comments on this. I love comments. Is that why a dog's nose is wet. Yes. They're much more efficient and picking up pheromones and maybe smell too. They love wet noses. Hmm. That's good. Look at that.
Look at that. What a great god. Guess what we're going to talk about next. Oh my goodness. The paw. The paw of a dog. Let's guess which one i'm going to talk about. We're going to talk about e. Have you ever noticed this pad on your dog's front paw.
I used to say what's it need that for. It's worthless. Obviously it walks on the other pads. This is not a product of evolution time nature and chance. It has a purpose. Does anybody want to guess what the purpose is of the carpal pad.
Temperature. Great answer. And you know what you could be. Right. Who knows all the purposes. That's a good answer but it definitely uses it as a shock absorber at high speed. When dogs are running at high speed they can use that pad as well to absorb the impact of landing spreading out the force of the impact.
And this dog is using it right there. And it uses it for breaking. If it has to break it can increase its breaking ability by increasing its friction and spreading out its foot. How many people think that's cool.
How many people think that's boring. Just kidding. It's cool. I love it. I love it. It's such an honor to teach. I'm sorry. I mean i think i'll have some installed on myself. Emergency brakes. The dewclaw.
You guys remember the dewclaw. If you've wrestled with dogs you've been scratched by the dewclaw a few times. Yeah. Does it have a purpose. God made it. Yes it does. The dewclaw is used for the dog holding bones.
If you give a dog a bone it will use its dewclaw to stabilize it and eat it. Just just before the meeting today i made a new slide. So this is a brand new slide for you on the dewclaw. Can you guys see that.
Yes. The dewclaw is over here on the left. And there's all of these abductors extensors flexors. Abductors are muscles that rotate the arm or the leg to the side and they're attached to the dewclaw. Extensors are muscles when they contract they straighten the limb or other part of the body.
Oh typo flexors. I gotta correct that flexors are muscles whose contraction bends a joint. Does that look like a beautiful design to you guys. Yes. Complex atheism is really undefensible. From an intellectual standpoint i believe 100.
There's two types of atheists those who know better and those who don't know better. Those who don't know better was me for a long time all i was told is that it was true that everything happened by chance.
But shame on those who do know better and lie to the innocent minds who don't know better. Mark 942 teaches it would be better for them to have a millstone around their neck than to cause little one to stumble.
And so when they're spreading lies like that there's severe consequences and often results in hopeless lives for teenagers. Great is our lord and mighty in power. His understanding has no limit. Just a simple dewclaw.
What an amazing design. Okay what part of a dog. Is this a diagram of hint. Sweat gland.
It's not a dog.
Yes it is really. I thought they didn't have sweat glands. Ah they do. In one part of their body. Anybody know. Ears. No good answer. Heads. Yes. Their feet. Dogs have sweat glands in their feet. My quiz for you guys.
There's three reasons dogs sweat through their feet. What are they. And don't feel bad. I didn't know this until i did the research on my lesson. It's not like common knowledge. Why do dogs sweat through their feet.
I don't know. So whether they want to smell where they've been. Ah that's one reason they leave a scent. Good. That's one of the three reasons. Now i'll give you a hint. The dogs do not sweat through their feet for cooling.
The sweat that comes out is an oily sweat. It's not a cooling sweat. The dogs cool themselves through their mouth. Okay. So what is a benefit of oil coming out of their feet. Keeps their feet from cracking.
And maybe absolutely. God thought of everything they they could be on hot sand all day. Or hot. They need the oil to moisturize their paws. What a great god. Amen. Amen. The oil can also add friction to their paws so that they don't slide around all over the place.
Yeah. And yes. Yes. So moisturizer. Friction. And it leaves their scent. And this dog was a day late and a dollar short and missing the dog that he was hoping to meet with. Okay i need a volunteer to name that paw between a dog and a rabbit.
I think jeff wants to volunteer. Okay thanks jeff.
A b and c are different paws for different dogs. God designed paws differently for different types of dogs. So jeff which of these dogs on the right has the paws that are identified as a. I would pick number three.
You are correct. I love greyhounds. Don't even greyhounds look fast when they're just laying down that doesn't that paw look like speed. Man. I love it. Yeah. Okay jeff which paw is b. The middle one.
I would go. Well your letters are gone. There you go. I would pick number two. Correct. For me it's got to support a lot of weight a lot of fur because the saint bernard lives where it's cold. That is b.
So obviously c is for swimming. This dog has more webbing in his feet than a saint bernard or a greyhound labrador. Do i win a prize. Do i get a bone. You get 10 creation points. You can cash them in with terry after the meeting.
But thank you you did great. All right. My son and i play a game called no one ever said that before. For example nobody has probably ever said gee i would like to be run over by 15 bulldozers for 21 hours and have them rest on me.
That's probably never been said before. Another thing that might have never been said before is wow. I feel so much safer now that i have a cat in the house to protect me. But it's a fun game to play that no one's ever said that before.
But anyways let's talk about the dog. I'm not picking on cats. I'm a dog person. But i understand people like cats. Not a great picture. I would love to hear from you guys. Have as anyone ever seen where a dog instinctually protects a baby.
Yes i think so. Yes i avoid babies so no.
Who would like to share. When i was a kid my um i had a little brother or a little sister and twin brothers and we had a german shepherd and that german shepherd would with that was back in the days when they used to have these giant gates that you put around children to keep them from wandering into the street and the german shepherd would just circle the whole time they were out there.
He would circle the gate and would not let anybody come into our property. I love it.
I love stories like that. Any other stories. Yeah this is bill. Real quick. Um the only thing i've noticed is when there's young people young kids babies especially i think and there's a dog in the house.
Usually it's in house but outdoors it probably happened too is if there's a dog that's part of that family that the baby's in he might not be aggressive but if i get close he'll put his body between me and the baby.
Now i've always wondered is does he think i'm a threat or is it a an idea of he's. It's his baby and he doesn't want me to have it. Is it possessive or is it protective or both. Maybe i'm going to give you my theory in a second.
Okay. Anyone else have a dog.
Protection story. I have one. When my daughter was just a little girl she used to spend a lot of time with her grandma and her grandma had this stupid poodle that i could not discipline. I come together and if i go to yell at the dog comes up to me he would.
He didn't even want me to go near my daughter so if she was in trouble nope that was his kid and nobody was allowed to scold her.
I love it. Anyone else. Great story. Well we used to have a doberman and then when we had our first child if the baby was outside in a crib always the dog was between the kid and the street. Every time just laying there looking around the dog was on watch and look at.
All four of these dogs are looking at the same thing like that guy has no chance to harm that baby. Well here's what i believe happens. Well you've. You've shared some great stories about dogs protecting babies.
Why do they do it. Dogs have a pack mentality. They will kill for the pack. They will protect the pack. Dogs have incorporated the family as their new pack. That baby is part of that dog's pack and it will die to protect it.
Isn't that. Wonderful trivia. Question. This is just one picture. It could be a million pictures. Is the dog between the street and the child. Or is the child closer to the street. Oh it's between. Yeah it's between.
That's what they do and god gave them the instinct and the programming for them. Are you guys think of that picture. Picture's worth a thousand words. Yeah. Don't think it buddy. Just try it. That dog is part of the pack.
It's going to protect the the owner. I'll tell you a.
I had a i had a gordon setter for for years. I uh when i adopted him i was told he was four years old and when he finally started falling apart i had to put him down. He was 20. I had him for 16 years but i had him uh in my house one night and this was in december you know and the sun sets about 4 30 and it's dark outside and nine o 'clock at night some kid comes knocking on my door to sell candy and i'm thinking who on earth would be doing that this time of night this time of year.
And i opened the door and my dog rushed out. He was i had a screen door and my dog lunged at the kid but he was stopped by the screen door and he was barking at that kid and that kid jumped back and he had big eyes he's like what's going on and that that my dog was not happy he was barking at that kid and i just told him i wasn't interested and the kid took off.
Well uh less than two weeks later three other units in my in my uh complex were broken into and i'm pretty sure that the kid was a spotter because you open your door at night and anybody looking in your house can see everything you got.
But uh my dog was there.
It could have sensed the pheromones that he was up to no good too. Yeah. Yeah. Is that insanity. Jeff. Yeah. Okay all right. So god made dogs. There's michelangelo's painting with the ability to adapt so dogs can live in the wild.
They look pretty nasty huh. Or be domesticated. Dogs can live in the heat and the cold. How. How did god allow the dog to adapt to hot weather or cold weather. For this part might be my favorite part of this lesson.
This is a zoomed in photo of a dog's hair follicle. Now notice i said follicle. Many hairs could come out of one follicle. Sometimes it's just one. Sometimes it's many. Their second coat is when they have many little hairs coming out to stay warm in the winter time.
Okay now the same follicle. All that hair came off that dog. Because it's summertime it no longer needs it. Okay this is one of my favorite questions. I need a volunteer. I'll take two volunteers. It can be one person guess the number.
The second person says over or under. So who wants to guess first. How many hair follicles per square inch does your dog have. I think i think rachel wants to play this. Thank you rachel. Okay um per square inch.
I'm gonna say 60 ,000. Okay. And who wants to guess. Over or under. Under over under way under.
Over.
But thanks for uh guessing rachel 15 ,000 per square inch. So my son did the math. My dog is about three foot long two foot tall. Guess how many hair follicles on this little dog. And not that little but every size dog.
Anybody. The question is did your your son count the number of follicles. We uh estimated six. The surface area of six cylinders her legs her torso and her head. The answer is 14 million. So this dog's got 14 million hair follicles.
Let's learn about the follicles real quick. Every hair follicle on your dog has its own muscle. That means 14 million muscles on this dog. Just for the hair every hair follicle has its own blood supply blood return.
An artery in the vein passed by every hair and a little branch goes into supply blood and return the blood. So that means 14 million blood supplies. 14 million blood returns 14 million muscles. Last but not least every hair follicle has its own oil gland sebaceous gland.
Every hair god designed a muscle an oil gland blood supply and blood return. I tell you atheism needs to be outlawed. I'm thinking of writing a paper. Is atheism a mental illness. And you might laugh but think about it.
It's insane to not see this as design. Right. It's absolutely crazy. Just the oil gland. Alone. For thou art great and does wondrous things. Thou art god alone. Psalm 86 10. Is all the hair on your dog identical.
No there's millions of hairs and they're all different. This is a zoomed in photo of my dog. Guess what part of the body. That is elbow. Yeah that's very good. The elbow. But look at it looks like a hurricane with the spiral.
It's like a spiral galaxy for bonacci numbers. But look at god wrote dna. For every hair in your dog god wrote dna that resulted in hairs being curved in the right direction with the right radius. You follow the location.
Unspeakably greatness. Does anybody want to comment on my dog's elbow hair.
I'm all ears that's amazing. It's like a cyclone.
What. But do you understand it. It takes dna for every single hair to have the bend in it. Yeah i have a comment. Wow. Yeah yeah. And it's so neat to look at your dog knowing it was made by god and marveling instead of just taking it for granted.
Amen amen. Guess what part of the dog this is. Is it behind. Yeah. Yep. The back of her thigh. But look at how god twisted the hairs to make those beautiful little spirals. Every hair is designed by god.
So. Are you designed by god. Yes. And he cares he cares about the dog hair. And look at the coloring too. It's just beautiful.
Bill i think we talked about that a little bit the last time you were here because you were talking um you incorporated dogs a little bit and you said dogs make dogs and crows make crows and you know whatever humans make humans but but on on their back side those spots are called um follow me marks i brought that up that that i had learned that before on a tour at the wild animal park because when you're in a in a pack like the animals follow each other like that's how they know who to follow because they look at those creative spots that god put there.
I don't think that was me.
I would have eaten that up and loved it and i'm so glad you shared that. Follow me follow me what.
Spot follow me marks. Yeah i remember that. Yeah that wasn't the last talk that you did.
Okay i've never heard of a lot of this before. I love it. Thanks for sharing that self-explanatory. And they all point in the proper direction. The lord's name is to be praised. Psalm 111 3. Something we take for granted with dogs.
But god designed. Look at that hair. Wow. What do we. What do we take for granted with their dogs that their hair doesn't what. Keep growing and growing and growing. Amen. It grows as long as it needs to be and it stops.
I'm not sure but it seems like the only hair in nature that grows and grows and grows and grows is human head hair. I think god gave it so that we can make statements with it. Amen. Does that make sense.
Amen. All the other hair on the planet grows and then stops. And there's fancy terms for it. Antigen phrase where hair actively grows. Catagen phrase where it stops growing. And the telogen phase where it falls out and gets replaced.
Sadly i'm in phase two and three in my life. But that's life phase four where it just falls out and never gets replaced. Yeah that's where i'm at. You know what i've heard as uh men go bald the hair does get replaced.
It just gets by wimpier and wimpier hair. Oh yeah. Yeah. What. What phase is. What phase is turning gray in the gray agent phase. I just made that up. Uh i always say i'm not going gray. I'm going silver.
Right. I joined the club. Yeah. That's wisdom. Right. Proverbs. Yeah. You guys ever looked at a dog's whiskers pattern. There's a pattern to it. They're not random. God is such a god of order. There's a nice little pattern of the dog's whiskers and they give glory to god.
I used to marvel at god and say wow whiskers are so cool that a dog doesn't get its head stuck. You guys think there's a lot more to whiskers than just that. There is. There is much much more to a dog's whiskers than just that.
Now this is a rat. But it's the same thing with dogs. Unbelievable complexity. All the whiskers and the dogs are in a different location a different place. They have different lengths different really different diameter and different curvature.
Really based on mechanical stimuli that go through the air. Some whiskers would bend a lot. Some would hardly bend at all. But by having many whiskers the number and the distance the whiskers move. Dogs can sense things at night that you and i would be clueless to.
Any comments on that. See this all has to do with wavelengths. You guys i know there's some really smart people you can look up. I can't even scratch the surface by that. There's the website on the complexity of whiskers on animals that hunt for food at night.
Any comments on that. They're all different curvatures. Pardon me i can't i can't imagine how that works. Is it. Yeah like a little a little movement would move the littlest whisker but a big movement would move the biggest whiskers.
And then there's a combination in between. Isn't it easier. Just to trust god trying to figure everything out so they can recognize the size of an object the distance the speed the direction and e surface texture.
At night a dog could tell if that big old thing is a an animal a tree a brick etc by their whiskers. Yours oh lord is the greatness and the power and the glory the majesty and the splendor for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Hers oh lord is the kingdom. You're exalted as head overall. Ah so enjoy your life everybody. Study your dog. Try to figure out why did god make that and just enjoy it. What are the. Okay. You guys i can't i can't leave this out.
What are the only areas of the dog where skin could be exposed to extremely cold weather. I need a couple of answers. Go nose. Okay the nose is one and the paw the paw pads. Yeah. Pause. The tail. Well the tail's got a lot of fur on it.
The undercarriage of the tail of the body. Like the tummy. Yeah they do grow in fur in the winter. Typically they get their fur coat. But there's a part of the dog that never gets any fur on it. That's the underside of the ears.
The ears is one spot and then there's one more. It never gets furry tongue now that they can keep that inside a poo-poo spot. That's the technical term for it. My daughter invented that she goes the poo-poo spot.
Okay i like that. Okay when she was little. So let's we talked about the nose and the ears. We got to talk about the poo-poo spot real quick. Okay i'm not going to be disgusting. But this is my dog. She's got a little flap of skin between her tail and her poo-poo spot.
Not being weird i checked it out when she lowers her tail that completely covers it with skin to keep it warm. Now is that disgusting or amazing. That little flap of skin with fur on it. You guys see it.
What do you think. Should i take that out of my lesson. Or should we give glory to god even for that. That's pretty amazing. I agree. That blows me away that god thought of everything that she can be warm as much as possible by his great design.
There it is. Right there little flap of extra skin and it covers it completely 100 percent. He thought of everything that covers the anus. Yeah it covers the anus so it won't freeze to death. It can lower its tail.
Okay any questions or comments. I've got one of each. This is bill. Okay all right. The first one is a sarcastic question. Mostly for fun. But i know we're talking about dogs. But uh what came first. The chicken or the egg.
That's a joke question and i don't hear much laughter. Oh i missed it. It went blank. It got muted. What did you say. Oh the sarcastic question is what came first. The chicken or the egg. That's just a joke.
And then the kind of that's my witnessing question. Ah did you know. That's my favorite witnessing question. No now i do. Now i know. Oh i have a homemade track that i'll send to you. I go to the huntington beach pier.
People come by and if they're my favorite group is like four teenage boys. And i'll say hey i got a quiz here. Which one of you four is the smartest. And they'll all say ah oh i am. No i am. Then i ask all four.
Which came first. The chicken or the egg. And they'll say uh the chicken the egg the egg the chicken. And i'll say well you guys are close but it's two chickens. You need a male and a female. When you guys get married you'll figure that out.
Now i'm. And they laugh. I'm part of the pack. And then i was going to talk about this later. I hope you guys write this down. It took me 30 years to learn it. The all-time best witnessing tips number one you ask someone.
Could i ask you a question. And they're almost always say sure. And this is the question. It makes all the difference. I think in evangelism. What do you think will happen to you after you die. And i ask with respect and kindness.
What do you think will happen to you after you die. I don't like to say why should jesus let you in the heaven or all this. Just leave it wide open 360 degrees. And then no matter what they say you respect it.
I respect your answer. Well according to the bible. Well let me quiz you guys just for fun. Who goes to heaven. What i ask in friendship. Who goes to heaven. Oh god. Well what people will go to heaven.
Why will. Why will you go to heaven.
And i ask in friendship if you believe in the lord jesus christ as your savior.
Right. Okay that's very very close and i'm not picking on your answer. You will go to heaven because you are forgiven. And you are forgiven because jesus is your lord. You see. And everybody on the planet knows they're a sinner.
Everybody knows they need forgiveness and they're forgiven. If jesus is lord i never tell a young person. I just say young people you need to be born again. You need to ask him into your heart. They don't know what that means.
Right. But they do know what it means to be forgiven. And they need jesus as their boss. So the question to ask people. And they're anxious for this good news. Everybody we have the cure. I like to say this.
If you had the cure for cancer would you keep it a secret. We have the cure for eternal death perishing. We have the cure for that. That's better than a cure for cancer. And it's important to share it.
But if you politely ask that question people don't get angry and they'll talk to you. Any comments or questions on that. That could be another review comment. But what do you think will happen to you after you die.
And assure them. You ask because you care about him. You ask with respect. No. So i want.
To know if bill got to make his other comment. I know that you asked your funny question. Yeah and.
There's already been a lead-in to it after watching your presentation bill and the whole group here. Um it just magnifies the power the wisdom the knowledge the infinite infinite infinity of god. And how much power knowledge.
Just an unending no beginning no end. Somebody that glorious and powerful that would send his son down to the earth and humble himself and die for us from such high end glory to total humility blows me away.
No amen enough said. And the result can be eternity with him. Incredible. Thanks for sharing that. And and we we are so hopefully we're growing in that area but and yet we have to us humans a lot of us.
But as believers hopefully we're improving but the pride that we have and we're we never you know want to forgive or help. You know it's we're almost like the opposite of the way what god did for us. We should be doing that and humbling ourselves for others.
But yet that's not the way it seems to be working at least a lot of the times. But more so in the christian faith i guess. Anyway. Well i love saying you guys are mature christians pretty much i can tell right.
I said when you read the bible to a young person pay close attention to peter. Peter was always messing up. I love peter. He was human like you and me. Peter loved god but he kept messing up backing out doing mistakes.
So what a good parallel for us that we're never going to be perfect. But peter still loved god and sought god despite his mistakes god still loved him. Isn't that encouraging. So i love peter. He's just like us.
He was a knucklehead.
Yes bill. Do you have um on youtube um. Do you have um uh. Places where you are actually shown.
Witnessing or talking to people. Can you hear me. You broke up. Do you have places where i was. Oh.
Oh i'm sorry i broke up. Uh do you have places where you are um shown witnessing or talking to.
People like on the pier that's funny. You say that because shortly i'm going to be making some of those but some of the talks get so personal i don't think i'm going to do it a lot. Mm-hmm. I've had strangers telling me about some of the horrors that they've gone through in their life and i i won't give anything away by any means.
I saw one of the coolest kids in the world. Everybody every young person might want to be this guy. We talked for about an hour and he said about he was continually abused as a youngster and it's just killing him from the inside to this day and we got deep believe it or not.
He prayed to forgive the person who abused him but in the same prayer for god to protect him and help him to heal and have strength. And so the camera might take away some of the that but i'm going to make a few videos like it and i'm going to have a waiver too.
If at any time you want me to take this off youtube i'll do it immediately because i would hate for someone to be embarrassed and then see it on youtube and.
Like oh why did i agree to that. That was a good question jim thanks for asking that. And it's a good um lead in to to wrapping things up for tonight. Bill since we're we're up against our time. Yes. So can you go ahead and give information once more about how people can get in touch.
And by the way before you do that i want to mention so we put the link for the the question sheet that we went through for tonight. We put it into the facebook chat and then when we post this to youtube we'll put it in the youtube.
And then people there's a there's a message at the bottom that if they want the answers they can email us at creation fellowship santee at gmail .com to get the answers. So um so but go ahead and and give give us some information about how people can find.
You okay i'll wrap up real quick. Dogs have all the fruits of the spirit. Amen amen. Everyone uh if people want to contact me i would be happy to share them with share witnessing tips with them. If they want to go witnessing with me that would be great.
If you want to just watch when i go witnessing that'd be great. I sometimes go alone sometimes i go in paris. My phone number is 714 898 -8331. My email is billyjack1 at hotmail .com. And a lot of people are scared to witness because they don't know what to do.
And i fully understand that i have a cool chicken and the egg track that i hand people and they'll stop and talk. And then you can ask them what do you happen what do you think will happen to you after you die.
And then you just listen like crazy and you you gotta care about them. And they sense that. It's like pharaoh gnomes. They care they know. If you care that's it.
Well thank you. Okay. And then um on our on our part we just want to remind people that they can um follow. They can find us on youtube by searching for our channel creation fellowship santee. They can also follow us on facebook on our public page creation fellowship santee.
