00:00: walks into a bar and the bartender goes, hey, buddy, why the long face?
00:09: 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,
00:23: I'm traveling light. I don't, don't get me rolling.
00:35: All right, let's go ahead and get started. So I'm Terry cameras out here with creation fellowship,
00:41: 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
00:50: God created the universe and all life from nothing in just six days. A few thousand years ago, we've been meeting most
00:58: 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
01:10: Lord and have a message to share, you can find most of our past videos by searching creation fellowship,
01:15: Santee that's S A N T E E on YouTube. Follow us on our creation fellowship,
01:23: Santee Facebook page, and sign up for our email list by emailing creation fellowship,
01:28: Santee at gmail .com. So you don't miss any upcoming speakers tonight.
01:33: We are actually blessed to have our first virtually their speaker,
01:39: Bill Morgan back with us. And so since that time, things have changed a little bit.
01:44: 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
01:51: 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.
01:59: Tell you a little bit about him. He's a mechanical engineer. He's been a mechanical engineer for 37 years.
02:05: 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.
02:17: He truly thought Christians were anti -science morons. That's sad, but science led him back to Christ.
02:27: 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.
02:37: You can find his YouTube channel by searching for Bill Morgan channel on YouTube.
02:43: People can call him also. I'll let him give out his phone number. If he's ready to, when he's ready to, oh, okay.
02:51: 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 talk to you and to tell you about God.
03:02: So with that, we are happy to welcome Bill Morgan. Go ahead, Bill. Well, thank you.
03:08: Uh, do you want me to share my screen now? Sure. All right. And there it is.
03:20: All right. Can you see it? We absolutely can see it. Okay.
03:26: 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.
03:37: 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.
03:53: And all of you have more and more wonder and awe of the greatness of God. Undescribable greatness, undescribable brilliance in our creator,
04:04: God, and he's glorified with our dog. So as I said, before we started, if anybody wants my
04:12: PowerPoint or my slides, you can email me. I still have a hotmail email.
04:19: Billyjack1 at hotmail .com. And I will get you my PowerPoint slides.
04:25: So, and I love participation in the group. When I ask, don't hesitate to feel that you may join in.
04:34: Okay. So I have a theory on Noah's Ark. Only one animal had their head outside the
04:43: Ark's window. And of course that would be the dog. The dog is enjoying the time on Noah's Ark.
04:52: So good question. Are dogs designed? Atheists think every atom, every molecule, every cell is a result of time, nature, and chance.
05:03: I politely say that's a very sad, pitiful observation. They can't even explain how one atom came to be.
05:11: In a past debate, I asked my opponent, what evolved first? The proton, the electron, or the neutron?
05:19: And then how did they come together? It's a whole nother topic, but I believe atoms are designed.
05:25: And of course, dogs are designed. And so is cuteness designed. Any amends to that?
05:31: So there's a picture of my dog and I love to encourage everybody to study your dog and glorify
05:39: God. I love to tell children, study your pets. And when you see something really cool, tell your parents about it.
05:49: 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.
06:01: And hopefully you'll be educated and glorify God even more.
06:09: Our Holy Scripture. You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power.
06:15: For you have created all things. I think the foundation for our faith is that he's our creator.
06:23: I truly believe a lot of angry atheists think that God can't possibly exist because of suffering that they've gone through.
06:32: 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.
06:42: And I do have sympathy and compassion for those that are hurting and angry because of suffering, and I love to evangelize to them.
06:52: So I need a volunteer. Who would like to volunteer? Shout out your name and you can be my volunteer.
07:03: Come on guys, don't make me have to do it all. Who wants to volunteer? Okay, I'll go.
07:09: Okay. Rachel's volunteering. Okay, Rachel, I have a project for you. Rachel, you are just placed in charge of a very, very important project.
07:20: You can hire everybody on the planet. You've got 8 billion people,
07:27: Rachel, working for you. Suppose you had unlimited funding, $900 trillion.
07:35: You could utilize every laboratory in the world, Rachel. How could you possibly fail in this project, right?
07:41: Could you and every person on the earth design and build a living dog?
07:48: What do you think, Rachel? No, I don't think so. It'd be impossible.
07:54: Wait a minute. You got 8 billion people. The average IQ is a hundred. The schools teach nature could build and design and build a living dog.
08:05: Nature has an IQ of zero. If nature could build and design a dog, why can't every person on earth?
08:14: 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 as intellectual, where we all know all the king's horses and all the king's men could never build a living dog.
08:42: I stole this from a different creation speaker and I love it. God does not make things.
08:50: God makes systems. Let's talk about systems real quick. Dogs are a system.
08:59: 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?
09:16: Anybody can join in. How would you answer that? Which systems are most important for a dog to be alive?
09:27: I think James has an answer. Smell. Very good, but that's no good without a circulatory system.
09:36: Good answer, James. Circulatory. And a muscular. Well, obviously they're all essential to live.
09:47: You can't live without any of the system. Systems mean there's many, many components. Let's look at the circulatory system.
09:55: Just as an example, the circulatory system is a system. The heart is a system.
10:03: 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.
10:13: Protons, neutrons, and electrons. Systems cannot come to be in a living organism by a step by step process.
10:23: You can't evolve a respiratory system on Monday, a digestive system on Tuesday, a nervous system on Wednesday.
10:31: For a dog to be living, all the systems need to be what? They're instantly at the same time supporting each other.
10:41: God makes systems. He doesn't make things. God, as great and as powerful as he is,
10:49: 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.
10:57: He can create by a step by step process to make a living thing. He did not make a brain on a
11:03: Monday and heart on a Tuesday, a stomach on a Wednesday. He made everything in place.
11:11: If God Almighty could not create through evolution, comma, nature cannot create through evolution, how does nature make a lung?
11:22: How does nature make a heart and how does nature put them together? It's idiocy, and I say that with respect.
11:30: A supernatural God made everything just like he teaches in Genesis instantly. Okay, so Rachel, let's imagine you pick a volunteer.
11:40: Who would you like to pick as a volunteer? I think
11:46: June wants to be Rachel's volunteer. Okay, June, what is your last name? It's very important. McGreevy.
11:54: Okay, so June's last name begins with the letter M. June, these are the subsystems of the dog.
12:03: 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.
12:12: 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.
12:24: You guys can see how impossible it is for us humans to even consider doing this, much less nature.
12:32: 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.
12:40: Nature could never do it. Suppose you could create all the parts of a dog.
12:47: A stomach, a brain, the bones. It's still dead. You follow me?
12:54: What's the difference between a dead dog and a living dog? A dead dog still has got
13:00: DNA, RNA, proteins, amino acids, cells, the systems. You follow me?
13:06: But it's still dead. Evolutionists get all excited about the possibility of making amino acids in a laboratory.
13:14: 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.
13:22: And they're not even close to that, of course. There's more to life than biology, chemistry, and physics.
13:30: When the life force leaves the dog, it is dead. Humans could never make that in a laboratory.
13:37: Any amens to that? Amen. Amen. And even if you did make one dog, you better make a female dog.
13:46: If it's a male, et cetera. And that would just, of course, be more and more complex.
13:53: Trivia time. Who wants a trivia question? You can call on someone, Terry. Okay, I call on Bill.
14:00: Not you, Bill. Other Bill. Okay. Go for it. Okay, Bill. On which day did
14:07: God make the dogs? That would be about the fifth or sixth day,
14:15: I think. Answer is on day number six. Yeah. Bible teaches he made them instantly male and female.
14:23: He put them where they had the right food, the right temperature, the right gravity, the right water, the right amount of oxygen.
14:30: It just gets so complex when you're designing systems. Everything needs to work. And our great
14:36: God did it. Everybody, let's give God some praise for designing and building
14:42: Lehman Dogs. How about a round of applause for God? He deserves it. All right.
14:49: How do dogs drink water? Terry, do you want to call on somebody? Yes, I'm going to call on Jeff, the other, yeah,
15:01: Jeff. A .k .a. Alpha Rat. That's you. They lap water up.
15:08: 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.
15:17: They turn their tongues into a little cup. Yeah. But they don't get water inside the cup.
15:27: Maybe you can see what they do. They turn their tongues into a little cup. See that water column?
15:36: And they bite it. What the dogs do is they turn their tongue into a neck.
15:41: This is a some college guy got a lot of funding to do this. And good for him. Dog bends and, you know, great.
15:48: It's good science. The dog bends their tongue, lifts the water and bites it. If you have a dog, study it as it gets its water.
15:57: And it's always lap, lap, lap, lap, lap, lap. They lift it and bite it.
16:04: 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.
16:16: Isn't that a beautiful picture there? Wow. How many picture have noticed that at least that might the dogs that I've had on the roofs of their mouth, they've got all these little ridges.
16:29: Have you guys noticed that? 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?
16:44: Must have a purpose. It's got a purpose because God made it. Everything in the dog has a purpose.
16:51: I love teaching lessons like this because it causes me to research and just marvel at God's greatness.
16:58: So on the roof of the mouth are these deep little ridges. I always wondered what they were for.
17:04: You won't believe it. Here is my homemade drawing. As the dog bites the water, the water is in its mouth.
17:14: The tongue raises and it traps the water in those little ridges.
17:21: And in a microsecond, instead of the water splashing all over the place, the water is stored in those ridges.
17:29: And look at the direction the ridges are pointing. The dog swallows it. Bingo. Isn't God creative?
17:38: Isn't God great? So the dog bites the water, traps it for a millisecond in those nice pockets.
17:45: Otherwise, it would splash all over and then swallows it. Who would like to say amen?
17:51: Amen. Amen. What a great God. Okay.
17:58: Could you quiz someone on this one, Terry? Could you ask for a volunteer?
18:04: Yes, I think Rachel can answer this one. I'll try. True or false?
18:10: Dogs can see better in the dark than you can. True. I'm going to say yes.
18:15: It's true. You ever seen that? It's called eyeshine. Predators have it.
18:24: 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.
18:38: Behind their retina, they have something called the tapetum. I call it a mirror.
18:45: 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.
19:05: 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?
19:14: 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.
19:22: Would you go down those stairs? I would certainly at least turn the light on first.
19:29: Anyways, God designed little mirrors behind the retina of the eyes of predators.
19:36: Now, why doesn't the prey have those? Because they're trying to hide.
19:45: They don't want two little lights in the middle of the night. What a great God. Bill, can I add something to that?
19:51: Please. One of my hobbies is calling up predators like coyotes.
19:58: At night, with the spotlight, which is legal, and 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.
20:12: Yeah, so it's pretty cool. I love it. I love it.
20:18: Such a beautiful dog, or animal, the coyote. Do they ever fight one -on -one, or do they always wait until they have a pack?
20:28: I think it's a pack. I don't know the answer to that. Because I hear the pack sometimes, and it's crazy.
20:38: Yeah. They're survivors. Two coyotes can sound like five. Yeah. I've seen videos where they've intimidated big muscular pit bulls just by their attitude, and the pit bulls are scared to death of them.
20:53: It's pretty impressive. True or false? You can call on someone.
20:59: Terry? Okay, I'm going to call on Diane this time. Okay, Diane, there's no bad guess.
21:05: All the air that a dog breathes goes to its lungs. False. I would say it's probably a trick question, so I'm going to say false.
21:21: You are correct. It is false. I just get breathless, even though I've taught this before, how amazing this is.
21:30: When a dog inhales, 80 % of the air goes to its lungs, but 20 % goes to something called the olfactory recess.
21:42: 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.
21:53: So 20 % of what a dog breathes goes towards its brain for sense of smell.
22:00: 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.
22:13: What a creative God, amen? Every design has to start with an idea.
22:23: So God had the idea of the dog's olfactory recess before he could design it and then build it.
22:32: What an amazing God. Can we get an amen? Amen.
22:38: Amen. Amen. I love, this is a good witnessing tip. If you see somebody walking their dog, you can share this with them.
22:47: A dog can remember everything. It has smelt its entire life.
22:54: Every time it has smelt that fire hydrant, it knows the entire history of the past smells of that fire hydrant.
23:01: That's because their brain is designed to store this memory. Dogs versus humans sense of smell.
23:13: 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?
23:23: Two Olympic -sized swimming pools. Amazing. And if you don't believe me, there's the reference down there at the bottom.
23:32: And I love to ask people, how many think that would be the most awesome party ever to go to?
23:40: A swimming pool with about 40 dogs. Wouldn't that be great? Absolutely. That would be my dream party.
23:48: I was thinking of starting a business called Dog Pool Party and I might make a ton of money, huh? But anyways,
23:55: I just love them. I love how they swim. Now, everybody participating,
24:01: I would like you to sniff 15 times as fast as you can go. You better stop.
24:11: You're going to pass out. When you are inhaling, you cannot exhale.
24:19: How many people have noticed this little slit in the sides of dog's nose? That's just an evolutionary accident because of mutations that arranged itself in that way.
24:31: They don't need it. You agree? Right. This is an amazing design by an amazing
24:38: God. A dog can inhale through the middle of its nose and exhale out the side at the same time.
24:48: 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.
24:55: But your dog can sniff the entire kitchen nonstop without stopping to breathe because it can inhale in the middle and exhale out the side.
25:06: Our creator God thought of this, designed it, and built it.
25:12: Can we put our trust in him that he knows what he's doing? He knows what he's doing.
25:19: Amen. Bill, a question. Yes. Is it okay to ask a question now?
25:26: Absolutely. When they're exhaling, is that coming from the olfactory section or the lungs?
25:33: I would say it's coming from the lungs. Maybe 20 % is coming from the olfactory.
25:40: Okay, so they can inhale and exhale from the lungs at the same time.
25:45: Right. If you watch them sniffing and sniffing the kitchen floor, that's what they're doing.
25:52: They flare their little nozzles too. If you study them sometimes, you can see their nozzles flare as they're exhaling.
25:59: Thanks. True or false? You can call on someone,
26:05: Terry. Rob, you want to answer a question? We'll see if he unmutes himself.
26:16: Give him a little time. Sure. Okay, let's move on.
26:23: Let's try June. June. Wait, Rob's ready. Rob's ready to answer a question.
26:30: Rob's turn. Okay, I'm unmuting. True or false? A dog can shut down its breathing in order to fully concentrate on sniffing.
26:40: I would guess yes. That's true. They can send even more air if they want to, to really focus on what they're sniffing.
26:50: 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.
27:00: 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.
27:08: A cat can't figure it out. Why would a dog do that? Anybody want to take a guess? Terri, you can have that one.
27:23: I... their sense of curiosity? I don't know. They get sensory overload like a young person going to Disneyland for the first time.
27:34: So it's like they're a roller coaster. It's like a buzz for them in a natural way.
27:39: They bring in all the senses and they just couldn't be happier. What a beautiful animal.
27:48: They love the odors. They love the sensory perception. So hopefully, I haven't put any of you guys to sleep yet.
27:54: You guys all still awake? Look at that beautiful dog. Yes. Now, how can a dog sleep 23 hours a day?
28:05: You guys ever thought about that? Uh, no. I think that they're refueling, especially when they're puppies.
28:11: There's a puppy living with me and he refuels. He doesn't sleep. Oh, I thought you were allergic.
28:17: But you have one. He doesn't shed. So I'm good. Good, good, good, good.
28:24: I think our creator, God, dog... God knew that dogs would live 24 hours a day and they might not have a lot going.
28:30: So they can sleep a big part of the day away. But they don't get into a deep sleep like humans.
28:37: 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.
28:46: So let me quiz you guys. Why is it good that typically dogs don't get into as deep a sleep as we do?
28:59: Anyone can take that and unmute and take a guess. How can you smell while you're sleeping?
29:06: 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.
29:15: 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.
29:26: Okay, anyone can shout it out. Which breed of dog has the best sense of smell? Some kind of a bloodhound.
29:33: Somebody put that in the chat already, Joyce did. She asked if bloodhounds have more going...
29:39: going there. They do. Bloodhounds, and you can empirically measure it, have more scent receptors than any other dog.
29:50: 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.
29:58: I go, why, honey? Because he can smell everything. That's how you might look if you could smell everything.
30:06: You don't want to smell everything. And the bloodhound can drag his ears on the ground to pick up more smell.
30:15: And the folds of their skin and their face can hold in more sense of smell.
30:21: Did I say sound? The ears can pick up scent on their ears and the folds of their skin.
30:29: What a beautiful beast. Any comments up to now? Anybody want to add anything or have a question?
30:36: Yeah, this is Bill. I just heard that there's some other diseases that they can use dogs' smelling abilities to diagnose certain diseases now.
30:48: And they're like prostate cancer is one of them. I don't know if it's sniff urine or what it is.
30:55: 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.
31:05: 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.
31:17: And the dogs were more accurate in sensing cancer, certain types of cancers.
31:24: Gee, why don't they use that more? I told my kids the answer to 90 % of why questions is money.
31:35: And also ego. Well, according to the dog, you've got cancer. But it's more effective.
31:43: Their sense of smell can detect it more effectively than our laboratories. Have you ever noticed dogs have little bumps on their lower lips?
31:55: You can unmute your microphone and share about those little bumps if anybody would like to. That's a dewlap, isn't it?
32:08: I don't have any idea. That's the name of the lip? Yeah, I thought that was called a dewlap.
32:15: It could be. It could be. I don't know off the top of my head. But have most of you seen those in dogs?
32:23: Yes, I have. They serve no purpose whatsoever. They're an evolutionary accident because of mutation.
32:30: Oh, no, of course not. They serve a couple of functions. Now, I'm not the greatest engineer in the world, but I did okay.
32:39: In heat transfer, one of the most important things is surface area.
32:45: When you're making lots of little bumps like that, what are you doing with the lip surface area? It's increased.
32:55: You have more surface area. And the dog expels heat through its mouth.
33:00: 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.
33:08: And there's another amazing reason for that. They're little suction cups.
33:15: 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?
33:21: Yeah. These little bumps are very good on suction and sensitive that it can grasp the outside of the bone.
33:31: And the dog, as it chomps away, will not accidentally have that lip go on top of the bone and bite it.
33:40: Any amens for that? Amen. Amen. I almost feel sorry for my dog when
33:47: I get her a bone. I say, honey, are you going to bite your lip? But she never does. And she's thrilled to get the bone. And those little bumps help in that.
33:57: Okay, now we need a female volunteer. All right, June, you're up. Ready, June?
34:03: I'm ready. I unmuted. Okay, June, you are the director of a beauty contest.
34:09: And there's no right, there's no wrong answer. You get to pick. Which one is the most beautiful?
34:16: Oh, I think C is the most beautiful. Okay, there's no bad choice.
34:24: But ladies and gentlemen, does art require an artist?
34:31: Yes. Does beauty require an artist? Yes. Is God a creative artist?
34:40: Look at the creativity of God. Terry, you said you have a dog.
34:46: Is it all one color or multicolored? So we have three dogs.
34:52: My mom has three dogs. And all three of them have multicolors. Two of them are white with black.
34:58: And one is like a salt and pepper. Is every hair like shaded and faded and patterned?
35:09: Or is it modeled? I, I don't, I, um,
35:14: I, what? Does it look like an artist painted your dog? Or it's just a big old mess?
35:21: 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.
35:29: But it's, it's interesting to look at that. But I mean,
35:34: I know the answer. So. Look at, look at B. B's got a triangle in the middle of its head.
35:40: That's amazing. And look at the symmetry and the art, how it comes out of the eye.
35:46: Every dog, Terry, the more you study your dog, the more you'll see God's beautiful detail of art.
35:55: Who, who painted the flames on the side of E's muzzle? It does.
36:03: It looks like flames, huh? Oh, it does.
36:10: Wow. I love it. I never noticed that.
36:16: But look at D. Racing stripes on the ears too. God, I like to tell people, when
36:23: I go witnessing, my favorite target group are young people because they're wide open to the gospel and are often discouraged.
36:30: And they often think people don't care, or God does, nobody cares about them, including God. If God cares about the color arrangement on dog number
36:40: E, does he care about you guys? Yes.
36:46: Yes, God is so huge. He cares about every hair on every dog.
36:52: So he does care about you. And young people, old people too, but young people really need to learn this.
37:01: 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?
37:12: But you know, F might make so much noise, it would do just as good a job, right? Oh, well, yeah.
37:18: Yeah, I somehow think the Doberman would be better. Yeah. But what a creative God.
37:25: Yeah. Praise the Lord. Someone might say, oh, this is a typical average dog.
37:33: But what does the fur tell you about God's artist abilities?
37:38: Anybody? He's creative.
37:46: Yeah. He mixes the white with the brown. He gives little brown dots above the eyes. So just delight in his creation.
37:54: But is he entitled to his glory? Amen. Absolutely.
38:02: 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?
38:19: Maybe not. Although I do use Photoshop. It was supposed you did a
38:25: Photoshop, Terry. And then at your church, I grabbed it and I went to everybody.
38:31: I said, hey, look at my Photoshop that I did. I worked really hard on it. Everybody said, wow, Bill, you are so talented.
38:38: 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?
38:45: You and I might need to have a talk afterward. But sadly, look what the public schools are forced to do with God.
38:55: God created the flamingo, the penguin, the elephant, the bird. And he's getting no glory for it.
39:01: All nature made it over millions and millions of years. We're human and we feel robbed of credit when we do something well.
39:11: He is entitled to all the praise and glory for his greatness. Amen. Amen. Amen.
39:18: How many people have taken a dog to the veterinarian and they freak out? They get scared.
39:25: You ever notice that? Look at that dog.
39:30: He's at the vet. Do you guys know why they get so scared? Because they can smell everything.
39:38: Close. Very, very close. The other day, just before I did this lesson, my son is very tall.
39:47: He's six foot four. He's only 16. Dad tripped over a size 13 shoe.
39:54: I didn't say anything, but I felt anger. I didn't say a word.
40:01: My dog came running up to me and says, are you okay? Did I do anything wrong? And I was like amazed.
40:08: She didn't hear me say a word, but I sent out, you could say a vibe, I guess, of anger.
40:15: And she wanted to make sure it wasn't her fault. And it wasn't. It's called pheromones.
40:22: Have you heard of those? Yes. Pheromones are amazing thing. What is a pheromone?
40:29: Does anybody know? They are some kind of a scent, but I can't think exactly.
40:38: I know it sometimes has to do with attraction. It does.
40:44: Absolutely. Absolutely. A pheromone, this is the definition.
40:49: It's a chemical produced, which changes the behavior of another animal of the same species.
40:55: 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.
41:05: And it's documented. That's an easy thing to document. And a dog can sense happiness, fear, et cetera.
41:16: Over millions of years of evolution, the dog evolved the vomeronasal organ.
41:22: Now, this is a beautiful design by a great God. Inside the dog's snout is a sensory organ to detect pheromones.
41:31: 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?
41:43: They can detect. Yes. Yeah. It's amazing. We're always sending, and sometimes with people, you ever get good vibes or bad vibes from people?
41:52: I believe that's pheromones too. But dogs are in very, very in tune with these and they can sense fear, et cetera.
42:01: Any comments on this? I love comments. Is that why a dog's nose is wet?
42:10: Yes, they're much more efficient at picking up pheromones and maybe smell too. They love wet noses.
42:20: That's good. Oh, look at that. Look at that. What a great
42:26: God. Guess what we're going to talk about next? Oh my goodness.
42:34: The paw. The paw of a dog. Let's guess which one
42:40: 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?
42:49: 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.
42:59: It has a purpose. Does anybody want to guess what the purpose is of the carpal pad?
43:07: Temperature. Great answer. And you know what? You could be right. Who knows all the purposes?
43:13: That's a good answer. But it definitely uses it as a shock absorber at high speed.
43:19: 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.
43:30: And this dog is using it right there. And it uses it for braking.
43:36: If it has to brake, it can increase its braking ability by increasing its friction and spreading out its foot.
43:44: How many people think that's cool? How many people think that's boring? Just kidding. It's cool.
43:50: I love it. I love it. It's such an honor to teach lessons. I'm sorry?
43:56: I think I'll have some installed on myself. Emergency brakes.
44:02: The dewclaw. You guys remember the dewclaw? If you've wrestled with dogs, you've been scratched by the dewclaw a few times.
44:12: Yeah. Does it have a purpose? God made it?
44:18: Yes, it does. The dewclaw is used for the dog holding bones.
44:25: If you give a dog a bone, it will use its dewclaw to stabilize it and eat it.
44:32: Just before the meeting today, I made a new slide. So this is a brand new slide for you on the dewclaw.
44:40: Can you guys see that? Yes. The dewclaw is over here on the left.
44:46: And there's all of these abductors, extensors, flexors.
44:52: Yeah. Abductors are muscles that rotate the arm or the leg to the side.
44:58: And they're attached to the dewclaw. Extensors are muscles.
45:04: When they contract, they straighten a limb or other part of the body. Oh, typo.
45:12: Flexors. I got to correct that. Flexors are muscles whose contraction bends a joint.
45:19: Does that look like a beautiful design to you guys? Yes. Complex.
45:25: Atheism is really undefensible from an intellectual standpoint.
45:32: I believe 100 % there's two types of atheists. Those who know better and those who don't know better.
45:41: 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.
45:48: But shame on those who do know better and lie to the innocent minds who don't know better.
45:56: Mark 942 teaches it would be better for them to have a millstone around their neck than to cause little one to stumble.
46:03: And so when they're spreading lies like that, there's severe consequences and often results in hopeless lives for teenagers.
46:13: Great is our Lord and mighty in power. His understanding has no limit.
46:20: Just a simple dew cloud. What an amazing design. Okay, what part of a dog is this a diagram of?
46:31: Hint, sweat glands. It's not a dog. Yes, it is.
46:39: Really? I thought they didn't have sweat glands. Ah, they do in one part of their body.
46:49: Anybody know? Ears? Nope. Good answer. Yes, their feet.
46:57: Dogs have sweat glands in their feet. My quiz for you guys.
47:04: There's three reasons dogs sweat through their feet. What are they?
47:09: 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?
47:22: I don't know. So whether they want to know where they've been. Ah, that's one reason.
47:28: They leave a scent. Good. That's one of the three reasons. Now I'll give you a hint.
47:34: The dogs do not sweat through their feet for cooling. The sweat that comes out is an oily sweat.
47:44: It's not a cooling sweat. The dogs cool themselves through their mouth. Okay. So what is the benefit of oil coming out of their feet?
47:56: Keeps their feet from cracking and drying, maybe? Absolutely. God thought of everything.
48:04: They could be on hot sand all day or hot. They need the oil to moisturize their paws.
48:11: 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.
48:25: Yes, yes. So moisturizer, friction, and it leaves their scent.
48:34: And this dog was a day late and a dollar short in missing the dog that he was hoping to meet with.
48:44: Okay. I need a volunteer to play. Name that paw. Could someone volunteer? Between a dog and a rabbit.
48:53: I think Jeff wants to volunteer. Okay. Thanks, Jeff. A, B, and C are different paws for different dogs.
49:03: 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?
49:16: I would pick number three. You are correct. I love greyhounds.
49:22: Don't even greyhounds look fast when they're just laying down? Okay. Doesn't that paw look like speed?
49:29: Man, I love it. Yeah. Okay, Jeff, which paw is B, the middle one?
49:38: That thick furry one. I would go, well, your letters are gone.
49:47: There you go. I would pick number two. Correct. For B. It's got to support a lot of weight, a lot of fur, because the
49:56: St. Bernard lives where it's cold. That is B. So obviously, C is for swimming.
50:03: This dog has more webbing in its feet than a St. Bernard or a greyhound. Labradors.
50:09: Did 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.
50:19: You did great. All right. My son and I play a game called
50:25: No One Ever Said That Before. For example, nobody has probably ever said, gee,
50:31: I would like to be run over by 15 bulldozers for 21 hours and have them rest at me.
50:37: That's probably never been said before. Another thing that might have never been said before is, wow,
50:44: 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.
50:55: 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.
51:02: Not a great picture. I would love to hear from you guys. Has anyone ever seen where a dog instinctually protects a baby?
51:15: Yes. I think so. Yes. I avoid babies, so no. Who would like to share?
51:24: When I was a kid, I had a little sister and twin brothers, and we had a
51:32: German shepherd. And that German shepherd, that was back in the days when they used to have these giant gates that you'd put around children to keep them from wandering into the street.
51:43: 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 in.
51:53: Our property. I love it. I love stories like that. Any other stories?
52:00: Yeah, this is Bill. Real quick. The only thing I've noticed is when there's young people, young kids, babies, especially,
52:08: 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.
52:25: Now, I've always wondered, does he think I'm a threat, or is it an idea of it's his baby and he doesn't want me to have it?
52:34: Is it possessive, or is it protective, or both, maybe? I'm going to give you my theory in a second.
52:41: 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.
52:59: I'd come to get her, and if I go to yell at her, the dog comes up to me. He didn't even want me to go near my daughter.
53:08: If she was in trouble, nope, that was his kid, and nobody was allowed to scold her. I love it.
53:14: 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.
53:31: Every time, just laying there, looking around, the dog was on watch.
53:37: And look at, all four of these dogs are looking at the same thing, aren't they? Yeah. That guy has no chance to harm that baby.
53:45: Well, here's what I believe happens. Well, you've shared some great stories about dogs protecting babies.
53:52: Why do they do it? Dogs have a pack mentality. They will kill for the pack.
54:00: They will protect the pack. Dogs have incorporated the family as their new pack.
54:09: That baby is part of that dog's pack, and it will die to protect it. Isn't that wonderful?
54:17: 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?
54:30: No, it's between. Yeah, it's between. That's what they do.
54:37: And God gave them the instinct and the programming for that. What do you guys think of that picture?
54:53: A picture's worth a thousand words. Yeah, don't think it, buddy. Just try it.
55:00: That dog is part of the pack. It's going to protect the owner. I'll tell you a story.
55:07: I had a Gordon Setter for years. When I adopted him,
55:14: I was told he was four years old. And when he finally started falling apart,
55:20: I had to put him down. He was 20. I had him for 16 years.
55:26: But I had him in my house one night, and this was in December. You know, the sun sets about 4 .30,
55:35: and it's dark outside. Nine o 'clock at night, some kid comes knocking on my door to sell candy.
55:42: I'm thinking, who on earth would be doing that this time of night? This time of year. I opened the door, and my dog rushed out.
55:53: 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.
56:00: And that kid jumped back, and he had big eyes. He's like, what's going on? My dog was not happy.
56:07: He was barking at that kid. I just told him I wasn't interested, and the kid took off.
56:13: Well, less than two weeks later, three other units in my complex were broken into.
56:22: 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.
56:33: But my dog was there. It could have sensed the pheromones that he was up to no good, too.
56:40: Yeah. Is that in Santee, Jeff? Yeah. OK. All right.
56:48: So God made dogs. There's Michelangelo's painting. With the ability to adapt.
56:55: So dogs can live in the wild. They look pretty nasty, huh? Or be domesticated.
57:08: Dogs can live in the heat and the cold. How did God allow the dog to adapt to hot weather or cold weather?
57:17: Fur. This part might be my favorite part of this lesson.
57:24: This is a zoomed -in photo of a dog's hair follicle. Now, notice I said follicle.
57:30: Many hairs could come out of one follicle. Sometimes it's just one. Sometimes it's many.
57:38: Their second coat is when they have many little hairs coming out, to stay warm in the wintertime.
57:45: OK? The same follicle. All that hair came off that dog, because it's summertime.
57:52: It no longer needs it. OK. This is one of my favorite questions. I need a volunteer.
57:59: I'll take two volunteers. It can be one person guesses the number. The second person says over or under.
58:04: So who wants to guess first? How many hair follicles per square inch does your dog have?
58:11: I think Rachel wants to play this. Thank you, Rachel. OK. Per square inch.
58:27: I'm going to say 60 ,000.
58:33: OK. And who wants to guess over or under? Under. Over.
58:40: Under. Way under. Over. The answer is 15 ,000.
58:48: But thanks for guessing, Rachel. 15 ,000 per square inch. So my son did the math.
58:55: My dog is about three foot long, two foot tall. Guess how many hair follicles on this little dog?
59:03: Not that little, but average -sized dog. Anybody? The question is, did your son count the number of follicles?
59:15: We estimated the surface area of six cylinders.
59:21: Her legs, her torso, and her head. The answer is 14 million.
59:31: So this dog's got 14 million hair follicles. Let's learn about the follicles real quick.
59:38: Every hair follicle on your dog has its own muscle. That means 14 million muscles on this dog just for the hair.
59:51: Every hair follicle has its own blood supply, blood return.
59:59: An artery in the vein passed by every hair, and a little branch goes into supply blood and return the blood.
01:00:09: 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.
01:00:22: Every hair, God designed a muscle, an oil gland, blood supply, and blood return.
01:00:32: I tell you, atheism needs to be outlawed. I'm thinking of writing a paper,
01:00:39: Is Atheism a Mental Illness? And you might laugh, but think about it.
01:00:45: It's insane to not see this as design, right? It's absolutely crazy.
01:00:52: Just the oil gland alone. For thou art great and does wondrous things, thou art
01:00:58: God alone, Psalm 8610. Is all the hair on your dog identical?
01:01:06: No, there's millions of hairs and they're all different. This is a zoomed in photo of my dog.
01:01:13: Guess what part of the body that is? Elbow? Yes, very good. The elbow.
01:01:19: It looks like a hurricane with the spiral.
01:01:25: It's like a spiral galaxy, Fibonacci numbers. But look at God wrote
01:01:31: DNA for every hair in your dog. God wrote DNA that resulted in hairs being curved in the right direction with the right radius.
01:01:43: You follow? The location, unspeakably greatness. Does anybody want to comment on my dog's elbow hair?
01:01:50: I'm all ears. Wow, that's amazing. It's like a cyclone. Boy. But do you understand it?
01:02:00: It takes DNA for every single hair to have the bend in it. I have a comment.
01:02:08: Wow. 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.
01:02:18: Amen. Amen. Guess what part of the dog this is? Is it behind?
01:02:29: Yep, the back of her thigh. But look at how God twisted the hairs to make those beautiful little spirals.
01:02:37: Every hair is designed by God. So are you designed by God? Yes, and he cares.
01:02:43: 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 incorporated dogs a little bit.
01:02:55: And you said dogs make dogs and crows make crows and whatever. Humans make humans. But on their backside, those spots are called follow me marks.
01:03:06: I brought that up that I had learned that before on a tour at the wild animal park.
01:03:11: Because when you're in a pack, the animals follow each other. That's how they know who to follow because they look at those creative spots that God put there.
01:03:21: I don't think that was me. I would have eaten that up and loved it. And I'm so glad you shared that.
01:03:27: Follow me. Follow me what? Follow me marks. Yeah. I remember that.
01:03:34: Yeah, that wasn't the last talk that you did. Okay. I love it.
01:03:42: Thanks for sharing that. Self -explanatory. And they all point in the proper direction.
01:03:50: The Lord's name is to be praised. Psalm 111, 3. Something we take for granted with dogs, but God designed.
01:04:01: Look at that hair. Wow. What do we take for granted with their dogs? That their hair doesn't what?
01:04:09: Keep growing and growing and growing. Amen. It grows as long as it needs to be and it stops.
01:04:18: I'm not sure, but it seems like the only hair in nature that grows and grows and grows and is human head hair.
01:04:26: I think God gave it so that we can make statements with it. Amen. Does that make sense?
01:04:32: Amen. All the other hair on the planet grows and then stops. And there's fancy terms for it.
01:04:39: Antigen phrase where hair actively grows. Catagen phrase where it stops growing.
01:04:47: 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.
01:04:57: Phase four where it just falls out and never gets replaced. Yeah, that's where I'm at. You know what?
01:05:02: I've heard as men go bald, the hair does get replaced.
01:05:08: It just gets by wimpier and wimpier hair. Oh, yeah. What phase is turning gray in?
01:05:20: The gray agent phase. I just made that up. I always say
01:05:28: I'm not going gray. I'm going silver. Right. I joined the club. Yeah.
01:05:35: That's wisdom, right? Proverbs. Yeah. You guys ever looked at a dog's whiskers?
01:05:44: 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.
01:05:51: 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.
01:06:01: 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.
01:06:12: Now, this is a rat, but it's the same thing with dogs. Unbelievable complexity.
01:06:19: All the whiskers on the dogs are in a different location, a different place. They have different lengths, different diameter, and different curvature.
01:06:33: Based on mechanical stimuli that go through the air, some whiskers would bend a lot.
01:06:39: 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.
01:06:52: Any comments on that? This all has to do with wavelengths.
01:07:01: I know there's some really smart people. You can look up. I can't even scratch the surface, but there's the website on the complexity of whiskers on animals that hunt for food at night.
01:07:14: Any comments on that? They're all different curvatures.
01:07:22: Pardon me? I can't imagine how that works. A little movement would move the littlest whisker, but a big movement will move the biggest whiskers, and then there's a combination in between.
01:07:38: 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 each surface texture?
01:07:54: At night, a dog could tell if that big old thing is an animal, a tree, a brick, etc.
01:08:02: by their whiskers. Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
01:08:14: Hers, O Lord, is the kingdom. You're exalted as head over all. So enjoy your life, everybody.
01:08:23: Study your dog. Try to figure out, why did God make that? And just enjoy it.
01:08:32: Okay, you guys, I can't leave this out. What are the only areas of the dog where skin could be exposed to extremely cold weather?
01:08:42: I need a couple of answers. Go. Nose. Okay, the nose is one.
01:08:49: And the paw pads? Yeah. The tail?
01:08:57: Oh, the tail's got a lot of fur on it. The undercarriage? Of the tail?
01:09:04: Of the body, like the tummy. Yeah, they do grow in fur in the winter, typically. They get their fur coat.
01:09:11: But there's a part of the dog that never gets any fur on it. That's exposed. The underside of the ears? The ears is one spot, and then there's one more.
01:09:23: It never gets furry. Tongue?
01:09:30: No, they can keep that inside. The poo -poo spot.
01:09:38: That's the technical term for it. My daughter invented that.
01:09:44: She goes, the poo -poo spot. Okay, I like that. Okay, when she was little. So, we talked about the nose and the ears.
01:09:53: We got to talk about the poo -poo spot real quick. Okay, I'm not going to be disgusting, but this is my dog.
01:10:01: She's got a little flap of skin between her tail and her poo -poo spot. Not being weird,
01:10:08: I checked it out. When she lowers her tail, that completely covers it with skin to keep it warm.
01:10:17: Now, is that disgusting or amazing? That little flap of skin with fur on it. You guys see it? What do you think?
01:10:24: Should I take that out of my lesson, or should we give glory to God even for that? That's pretty amazing.
01:10:31: I agree. That blows me away that God thought of everything. That she can be warm as much as possible by his great design.
01:10:40: There it is right there. Little flap of extra skin, and it covers it completely, 100%.
01:10:46: He thought of everything. That covers the anus. Yeah, it covers the anus so it won't freeze to death.
01:10:53: It can lower its tail. Any questions or comments? I've got one of each.
01:11:03: This is Bill. The first one is a sarcastic question, mostly for fun.
01:11:10: I know we're talking about dogs, but what came first, the chicken or the egg?
01:11:15: That's a joke question. I don't hear much laughter. I missed it.
01:11:22: It went blank. It got muted. What did you say? The sarcastic question is, what came first, the chicken or the egg?
01:11:31: That's just a joke. And then the comment. You know that's my witnessing question. Did you know that's my favorite witnessing question?
01:11:40: No, now I do. Oh, I have a homemade track that I'll send to you.
01:11:48: I go to the Huntington Beach Pier. People come by. My favorite group is like four teenage boys.
01:11:56: And I'll say, hey, I got a quiz here. Which one of you four is the smartest? And they'll all say, oh,
01:12:02: I am. No, I am. Then I ask all four, which came first, the chicken or the egg? And they'll say, the chicken, the egg, the egg, the chicken.
01:12:12: And I'll say, well, you guys are close. But it's two chickens. You need a male and a female.
01:12:17: When you guys get married, you'll figure that out. And they laugh.
01:12:22: I'm part of the pack. And then I was going to talk about this later. I hope you guys write this down.
01:12:29: It took me 30 years to learn it. The all -time best witnessing tips.
01:12:35: Number one, you ask someone, could I ask you a question? And they almost always say, sure.
01:12:43: 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?
01:12:56: And I ask with respect and kindness. What do you think will happen to you after you die?
01:13:04: I don't like to say, why should Jesus let you in heaven or all this?
01:13:11: Just leave it wide open, 360 degrees. And then no matter what they say, you respect it.
01:13:16: I respect your answer. Well, according to the Bible, let me quiz you guys just for fun.
01:13:21: Who goes to heaven? What?
01:13:27: I ask in friendship, who goes to heaven? God. Well, what people will go to heaven?
01:13:43: Why will you go to heaven? And I ask in friendship. If you believe in the
01:13:50: Lord Jesus Christ as your savior. Right. Okay, that's very, very close.
01:13:56: 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
01:14:05: Lord. You see? And everybody on the planet knows they're a sinner. Everybody knows they need forgiveness.
01:14:14: And they're forgiven if Jesus is Lord. I never tell a young person.
01:14:19: 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.
01:14:25: Right. But they do know what it means to be forgiven. And they need
01:14:30: Jesus as their boss. So the question to ask people and they're anxious for this good news, everybody.
01:14:40: 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.
01:14:53: We have the cure for that. And 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.
01:15:03: And they'll talk to you. Any comments or questions on that? That could be another review comment.
01:15:08: 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.
01:15:17: No. So I want to know if Bill got to make his other comment. I know that you asked your funny question.
01:15:24: Yeah. And there's already been a lead -in to it. After watching your presentation, Bill, and the whole group here, it just magnifies the power, the wisdom, the knowledge, the infinite infinity of God.
01:15:42: And how much power, knowledge, just unending, no beginning, no end.
01:15:50: 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.
01:16:11: Yeah. Amen. Enough said. And the result can be eternity with him.
01:16:19: Incredible. Thanks for sharing that. And we are so, hopefully, we're growing in that area.
01:16:31: And yet we have, as humans, a lot of us, but as believers, hopefully, we're improving.
01:16:37: But the pride that we have and we never want to forgive or help.
01:16:45: We're almost like the opposite of what God did for us.
01:16:51: 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.
01:17:02: But more so in the Christian faith, I guess. Anyway. Well, I love saying this, and you guys are mature
01:17:10: Christians, pretty much. I can tell, right? I said, when you read the Bible to a young person, pay close attention to Peter.
01:17:20: Peter was always messing up. I love
01:17:27: Peter. He was human like you and me. Peter loved God, but he kept messing up, backing out, doing mistakes.
01:17:36: So what a good parallel for us that we're never going to be perfect. But Peter still loved
01:17:43: God and sought God. Despite his mistakes, God still loved him. Isn't that encouraging? Mm -hmm.
01:17:49: Mm -hmm. The truth. So I love Peter. He's just like us. He was a knucklehead.
01:17:58: He was human. Bill, on YouTube, do you have places where you are actually shown witnessing or talking to people?
01:18:16: Can you hear me? You broke up. Do I have places where I was? Oh, I'm sorry. I broke up.
01:18:22: Do you have places where you are shown witnessing or talking to people? Like on the pier?
01:18:29: 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,
01:18:38: I don't think I'm going to do it a lot. I've had strangers telling me about some of the horrors that they've gone through in their life.
01:18:50: I won't give anything away by any means. I saw one of the coolest kids in the world. Every young person might want to be this guy.
01:18:58: We talked for about an hour, and he said about he was continually abused as a youngster.
01:19:04: And it's just killing him from the inside to this day. And we got deep.
01:19:12: Believe it or not, he prayed to forgive the person who abused him.
01:19:18: 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 that, but I'm going to make a few videos like it.
01:19:35: 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.
01:19:41: Because I would hate for someone to be embarrassed and then see it on YouTube. And like, oh, why did
01:19:47: I agree to that? That was a good question, Jim. Thanks for asking that.
01:19:52: And it's a good lead -in to wrapping things up for tonight, Bill, since we're up against our time.
01:20:00: 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,
01:20:07: I want to mention, so we put the link for the question sheet that we went through for tonight, we put it into the
01:20:14: Facebook chat. And then when we post this to YouTube, we'll put it in the YouTube. And then people, there's a message at the bottom that if they want the answers, they can email us at creationfellowshipsantee at gmail .com
01:20:26: to get the answers. But go ahead and give us some information about how people can find you.
01:20:35: Okay. I'll wrap up real quick. Dogs have all the fruits of the spirit. Amen. Amen.
01:20:41: Everyone. If people want to contact me, I would be happy to share witnessing tips with them.
01:20:48: 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.
01:20:55: I sometimes go alone. Sometimes I go in pairs. My phone number is 714 -898 -8331.
01:21:04: My email is billyjack1 at hotmail .com. And a lot of people are scared to witness because they don't know what to do.
01:21:12: And I fully understand that. I have a cool chicken and the egg track that I hand people and they'll stop and talk.
01:21:19: And then you can ask them, what do you think will happen to you after you die? And then you just listen like crazy and you got to care about them.
01:21:27: And they sense that. It's like pharaoh gnomes. They care. They know if you care. That's it.
01:21:33: Well, thank you. Okay. And then on our part, we just want to remind people that they can find us on YouTube by searching for our channel, creationfellowshipsantee.
01:21:45: They can also follow us on Facebook on our public page, creationfellowshipsantee.
01:21:51: And then just what we have coming up, we have a lineup of speakers for April. We have a break next week on the 1st, but then we're going to be having
01:22:01: Dr. Jason Lyle on the 8th. And so for those of you who have been asking about Joshua's long day, he's going to explain that when he comes.
01:22:09: And then we have several other great speakers that are lined up for the month of April. So be sure to check that out.
01:22:17: Oh, here's a little promo for our speaker in two weeks, Dr. Lyle.
01:22:22: So he's going to be talking to us about logic in the Christian worldview. So again, that's on April 8th.
01:22:29: So make sure that you sign up so that you don't miss out. You can get the
01:22:35: Zoom link. You can be on our email list if you email creationfellowshipsantee at gmail .com.
01:22:40: So I'm going to go ahead and ask Bill, if you could pray to close us, and then we'll turn off the stream.
01:22:48: Thank you all for coming. And let's pray.
01:22:53: Dear Lord, you are glorified by every single hair on every single dog. You are so great.
01:23:00: We pray for you to be glorified. We pray for you to become real to people's lives. We pray that you suppress the haters that suppress you,
01:23:07: Lord, and that the young people that are hurting, lonely, hungry, for you, find you.
01:23:13: Thank you for this group. May you be glorified through us and use us. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen.
