So, if you haven't heard by way of introduction before, just a quick overview about our ministry. We strengthen

00:13

Christian schools. We speak in probably six different schools on a regular basis in Northern California.

00:18

Dave Bisbee heads that up in our ministry. He's also preparing a library of 72 different episodes, creation vignettes that are between like five and 20 minutes long, that are between,

00:30

I think he breaks it up, K -3, 4 -6, and 6 -8th grade.

00:35

So, we have numerous different topics, and we have it broken down for those three different age groups.

00:41

So, you can just go to our website, genesisapologetics .com, and then click on the student zone.

00:47

And all of this information is free, by the way, all of our resources are free when you go online. You can either download the books as PDFs or access the videos, or you can get the hard copies that are for sale in the back today.

01:00

We give a lot of local church presentations. Before COVID, we were doing about 50 talks a year.

01:06

Then we have our annual conference, which just this year went online. We reached about 30 ,000 people through that conference, and it's still going, which is great because it's a static asset.

01:16

You can put it up on YouTube, and it just keeps getting views and views. But we have about six and a half hours of content.

01:22

We have a bias towards really thick and sometimes very clinical presentations that are very, very heady.

01:30

We don't have a lot of humor infused in. In fact, we have some people that try to lighten it up when we do presentations in person.

01:38

But it is very thick, heady type of information, but it's good. You have to make sure you're in the right mood before you go through and do it.

01:45

But we were able to convene speakers from CMI and Answers in Genesis and ICR and have them participate in that conference with us.

01:54

So, it's got a lot of different topics, I think 10 or 12 different topics that we cover. And I think our widest reach now is on social media.

02:02

We have about 111 ,000 YouTube subscribers, about 10 million views, and a lot of Facebook followers as well.

02:10

There's the student zone. Just make sure to click on that icon when you go to our website, Genesis Apologetics.

02:15

And then here are the offerings that we have for fifth to 10th graders. You can go to debunkevolution .com

02:21

where we take what kids are taught today in public school. We distilled it all down to the top 10 topics that are taught in public schools today, the top 10 evolutionary topics, and we address them with about two hours of video content with an interaction between two actors that talk their way through it.

02:41

And then before a high schooler goes to college, make sure to put them through our Seven Myths program where we take the seven false teachings that are going to come against them when they go to college.

02:53

Some even some Christian colleges, but of course mostly the secular colleges where they're going to be hit with things like God didn't create in six days or the flood was local or dinosaurs lived millions of years ago.

03:03

This is a good program to put them through. In the process of answering a lot of questions on social media, we field lots of questions every day, we took the top 50, the most frequently asked questions, put them all into a book, work with various scientists to develop compelling answers to each, and then develop videos to go along with maybe 10 of the 50 topics.

03:26

So you can get that book at the back there, or you can just go to our website and all those

03:31

Q &As are there for free. So on our YouTube channel, if you just look at our top four viewed videos, we didn't know it was going to work out like this, but I'm very happy to say that the topic we're covering today just happens to be one of our most frequently covered

03:46

YouTube, frequently watched YouTube videos called Noah's Flood and Catastrophic Plate Tectonics.

03:51

We're going on three million views. That's really a reflection of a team effort by our research team and the leading flood geologists from every creation ministry that we could find that had people who had really studied the flood.

04:06

And then Miracles of the Crucifixion is the other one. There are very, very clear, compelling evidences that our

04:12

Lord and Savior was crucified and resurrected. You can go back and watch that video. There's lots of good evidence that substantiates when that happened.

04:21

And then the last two happen to be about dinosaurs, which we'll also be covering today. Then you can also download our mobile app.

04:28

We have about 100 ,000 installations of the mobile app. So just go on your phone, either the iTunes store or Google Play and type in Genesis Apologetics.

04:38

You can download the app and we've broken it down to maybe the 12 different sections on topics that actually link into our

04:44

YouTube videos. And we have a couple of movies that have just come out recently. One's called

04:49

Genesis Impact, where we feature a museum docent from a secular museum interacting with a

04:57

Christian creationist who happens to know her stuff and they get into a dialogue for about 45 minutes.

05:03

And in a very humble and meek way, she tears down the theory without tearing down the person.

05:09

So she challenges this docent on his belief systems and his worldview, and eventually he comes around.

05:16

So the other movie that we just did that actually just came out on Good Friday is called Foundations.

05:22

It's one of my favorites because we put in about a 23 -minute video just how important these topics are.

05:29

What started this movie is I was at a museum. I was at the Royal Terrell Museum with my daughter,

05:35

Michaela. It was a few years ago when I was going through my wake -up process of, oh my gosh,

05:41

Genesis is a true history account. So we're there going through the dinosaur museum, and we want to run into this one exhibit.

05:48

It was an icon there that showed the process of goo leading to the zoo animals leading to me and you.

05:55

So kind of a slow progression over millions of years. It was neatly compacted into one single museum exhibit.

06:01

And there was this kid there just staring at this exhibit. You could just tell. You could see his gears are turning, and he's looking at this, looking at the pond scum going into fish and the fish leading into different creatures and the layers going up and up and up.

06:15

And this kid was just pondering this almost for the first time. You can see his synapses just forming like, oh my goodness, did this really happen?

06:23

And so after a long pause, he looks up at his mom and says, mom, is this true? Did we really evolve from this pond scum and go up?

06:31

And I think the mom knew that we were there, my daughter and I, and she had kind of a pause for maybe five seconds.

06:37

And she said, you know what? I guess it is. Nothing to fill in the gap. I guess it is true.

06:44

You can see right there in that moment that kid's synapses, his knowledge network closed in and fused on something he was going to believe as truth for the rest of his life until someone or some ministry or the

06:58

Lord himself disentangles that belief system. And we walked away from that exhibit.

07:04

I looked over at my daughter, and she's just sobbing because she knew what happened in that very moment where that mom solidified a lie in that kid's head.

07:12

She just didn't know better. So we took that concept and put it into a movie just to show how important it is that kids believe in the authority and the truth of Scripture beginning on the very first page.

07:25

So today we are going to go through a speeded review of what's covered in this video. We really have two flood videos.

07:32

One's a big picture overview of the flood. That's the leading one called Noah's Flood and Pangaea.

07:38

There is a shorter 16 -minute video that covers Noah's Flood and just North America where we focus in on just what happened to the

07:47

U .S. during Noah's Flood. There's some amazing evidence there. And we do, of course, believe that the flood account, which is the longest description of any single event in the

07:57

Bible, is divinely written and divinely inspired. God wrote it through man and he wrote it from an omniscient and omnipresent perspective.

08:07

There are things in that flood story that only God could have known. Talking about the description in Genesis 7 verse 11, for example, where God says, the fountains of the great deep broke or cleaved open.

08:21

So there's a tectonic process and the windows of heaven were open and an atmospheric process.

08:26

So two things happening at the same time. Only God could know that and he wrote it through man and we still have an account of that today.

08:33

And we know that this was a worldwide historical event because the flood is incredibly descriptive in Genesis 6 through 9 about the dates and the duration and the characters that were involved.

08:45

So here's how it starts. On day three, God says he's going to separate land from water.

08:51

And Psalms 95 says, in his hand are the deep places on earth. The strength of the hills is his, also the sea is his.

09:00

And he made it and his hands formed the dry land. Well, when did that happen?

09:05

On the third day of creation, God said, let the waters under the heaven be gathered together into one place and let the dry land appear.

09:13

And it was so. And God called the dry land earth and the gathering together of the waters called the seas.

09:20

And God saw that it was good. So some people prefer a Rodinia -like configuration where the continents are a little bit differently located to what you see here.

09:29

But this is a classical Pangaea -like formation. Evolutionists would put this at about 220 million years ago all the way to 180 million years ago in that bracket.

09:39

But it's kind of fun looking at this map because you can see where the United States might have been or Brazil and Antarctica in this continental configuration.

09:47

And, you know, I don't care if you believe in creation or if you're a secularist, this is a guess.

09:55

This is just based on a lot of good geological data and everything. But I personally think that a lot of creation scientists are going to, when they get to heaven, they might be quite surprised at how it was actually configured because there were actually some continents that moved apart and came crashing back into each other and then moved apart back again.

10:13

So this is a general guesswork of the idea. I think it was pretty close to this, but that's Pangaea.

10:21

And isn't it interesting when you look at this that when God gave the command to multiply and fill the earth and told

10:26

Adam and Eve to take dominion over everything and name everything, wouldn't that be much easier if, in fact, there was just one big massive landmass for Adam to take dominion over everything and his offspring to go and populate around the earth?

10:39

Be much easier if the earth was all put together like this. So there are some key flood verses here.

10:46

Again, it's a three -chapter narrative, but Genesis 7 -11 says, in the 600 year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all of the fountains of the great deep broken up.

11:01

The Hebrew word there is bakah, which means cleaved open. It's a tectonic event.

11:08

Here we haven't even gotten through the first several chapters of Genesis, and we have a tectonic event being described in Scripture, and the windows of heaven were opened.

11:19

So that's one of the key verses. So the flood started on the ocean floor. As we had one big landmass, there probably wasn't a lot of peaked hills back then.

11:30

It was probably a rolling type of contour on the landscape. And then the flood peaked.

11:37

Some people put the zenith or the peak of the flood at day 40. Other people put it at about 150 days into the flood.

11:44

There's different ways that you can have insights into the Hebrew of the text there. But when it zenithed, it was 15 cubits upward did the waters prevail, and the mountains were covered.

11:55

The mountains under the whole of heavens were covered. About 23 feet of water was over all the high heavens over the earth.

12:03

So this started on the bottom floor, and it went so high it covered the highest mountains.

12:09

So we have kind of an A to Z, a bottom to top system. Something happened where it started on the bottom floor of the ocean and ended up over the mountains.

12:18

It was a huge event. And then Genesis 8 says that, and the waters receded continually from the earth.

12:25

At the end of 150 days, the waters decreased. Then the ark rested on the seventh month, the 17th day on the mountains of Ararat.

12:33

Some people say, well, the ark is on the Mount Ararat. Well, it's the mountains of Ararat. So it's in that vicinity.

12:40

And the waters decreased continually until the 10th month. And in the 10th month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.

12:48

Then the water subsided or the earth dried out for about 70 days afterwards. It was a 371 -day process.

12:56

And here's a chart that neatly breaks it up where the waters rose for likely 150 days, and they decreased for 150 days, and the earth dried out for 70.

13:06

So when did Noah's flood happen? Well, if you take the Masoretic text at face value, we have a flood date based upon Usher's chronology, about 2348.

13:16

There are some different ways people look at Abraham and his time span in the Bible that might put the flood about 2518 in the

13:23

Masoretic text. And then there's another textual tradition called the Septuagint that might put the flood as far back as 3168, but definitely not before that because the biblical text is very clear.

13:35

So that would be the latest that we would say that the flood happened. But we have no problem with just believing what the

13:41

Masoretic text says about the timeline. So about 4 ,400 years ago, it was this panel of six individuals that I believe the

13:50

Lord in His time allowed to see using scientific tools and insights of this modern era, these guys were given the privilege in our lifetime of seeing how the flood went down.

14:03

And they wrote the first compelling article that revealed this research in the 1990s. Several of these people have spoken here.

14:10

I'm on a first -name basis with many of them, and they clearly do have the theory that shows what happened on earth.

14:18

When you take that Pangaea -like formation and rapidly split it apart as the fountains of the great deep burst open, we have the mid -Atlantic ridge forming here.

14:28

It's a 10 ,000 -mile rift. And then the continents were sped about 3 ,000 miles apart. But when you take this notch, it fits perfectly into this inset over here.

14:38

And the animals and creatures and plants that you can find still today over in this region are also found over in this region.

14:45

Same creatures were living, but they were split apart and killed and buried in the mud, sand, and ash that was involved in that process.

14:55

Dr. Baumgardner was able to simulate a lot of the flood process using his software program called

15:01

Terra. Even U .S. News & World Report called him one of the preeminent geophysicists of our day.

15:08

He worked for Los Alamos National Laboratories. And he developed a software system where they broke down earth into a whole bunch of different cells, and they simulated what's called runaway subduction, or the flow that was happening here really, really quickly.

15:25

Here's, again, his clip from U .S. News & World Report, the geophysics of God. And they had all kinds of accolades that they gave to John and others.

15:35

So we know that this process happened quickly, because did you know that 90 % of the earthquakes that happen around the world are from the plates that are still subducting, from subduction slips that are going on?

15:50

So we have this ring of fire that's going all over the place. When we get earthquakes over here, a lot of them are subduction -related slips.

15:57

But 90 % of the earthquakes we have today are along these subduction zones. The big one that happened in Japan, it was a subduction zone -related slip.

16:07

So this is what happens when a tsunami occurs. And these tsunamis were occurring not by the dozens, but by the hundreds during the one -year flood process of Noah's Flood.

16:18

So we have the seafloor spreading. We have the rifting that's happening over here. The seafloor is being produced and spread.

16:26

Then it's being subducted underneath the landmasses. And when it does, it goes down. A lot of friction and heat are created.

16:33

And tension builds. And then it builds and builds more. And then it releases. And when the tension releases, when that fault slips, that subduction line fault slips, you have a bidirectional tsunami that's going out in two directions.

16:48

Now, this happened just a little bit. There was a 60 -foot slip that happened in Japan. And that was enough to bring up amazing levels of dirt, sand, all up into the area in Japan there.

17:01

But during the flood, this was happening in cycles as the seafloor was spreading and subducting at a rate of one meter a second.

17:10

So about walking or jogging speed, the subduction was happening. The seafloor was being created rapidly and being pulled down, binding and slipping.

17:18

And it was sending up successive tsunamis over the landmasses and burying the dinosaurs in layers as it was coming up, all the way up to the

17:28

Zuni stage of the flood that happened at the peak. So these tsunamis were really instrumental in burying the dinosaurs.

17:37

Here's what happened in the 1700. You can even trace back the subduction -related slip that happened in the state of Washington in 1700.

17:47

They go back. They can see the tsunami layers that happened in the soil there.

17:52

It was a huge slip. It happened. The Native Americans even recorded and wrote about it. But that happened in 1700, and it was a big slip that happened right here on the left coast of North America.

18:03

Here's what happened in Japan. Same thing. The subduction's happening. It binds, releases, and a huge earthquake happened when it slipped up here in the subduction fault, and it sent the tsunamis going in two directions, over here towards us and then right up here on the

18:20

Japanese coast. And it created all kinds of havoc, and that was a relatively small slip.

18:27

So we've already talked a little bit about fossil correlation, but we have the Pangaea -like formation.

18:33

It splits apart rapidly. And here we have fossils of the similar or even the same creatures on both sides of the continents here.

18:42

And this goes all over through, but here when the floods split and these continents were rapidly spread apart, we've got the split line right here.

18:49

You can go back and still take the sides of these continents and piece them back together. Like here, we're going to take this notch.

18:57

All these green dots are fossil beds. It fits right into there. And look at that. That's an entire ecosystem that was once living there before it was rapidly spread apart.

19:06

You can go to the FossilWorks database. You can run counts in their database of the types of flora and fauna that were on each side of the continents when it split.

19:17

Look at how they match up. These types of plants and animals, these types of plants and animals on either side.

19:23

Then it was rapidly split apart during the catastrophic plate tectonics of the flood.

19:30

It's quite obvious that this happened, and it's quite obvious it happened quickly because the animals serve as a timestamp for the burial that it happened.

19:40

If it happened slowly over millions of years, we would think under the evolutionary time frame, if it was slowly over millions of years, well, these animals would have evolved to look maybe different than these animals over here.

19:52

Maybe some plants would have gone extinct and new plants developed, whatever. But that's not what we see. We see a snapshot of time of the exact same ecosystem that was rapidly spread apart and buried in the very mud that killed them.

20:07

So here's what it looks like under a bathymetric map. There's a mid -Atlantic ridge. It's about, this is one of the biggest rift systems, 10 ,000 miles long.

20:16

But when you look at a bathymetric map, which is a map where you take all the water away, look at the massive slopes that are on either side of this mid -Atlantic ridge, and look how deep the continental shelves are.

20:27

It's very obvious that these two landmasses were put together. This rip sits right in the middle between them, and it's got slopes on either side showing it was uplifted and then slid apart on both sides.

20:43

We know this happened again because you can look at underground radar, where you look down and we see the

20:48

Farallon plate. This is the seafloor that's subducted right underneath North America. And when this was happening slowly under North America, the evolutionists would say it was slowly, but we say it happened quickly.

20:59

When it was subducting, it was like a spatula sliding underneath an undercooked pancake.

21:05

And part of the process resulted in what's called the Laramide Orogeny, or the Rocky Mountain system, being pushed up as the seafloor is being dragged underneath the continent.

21:15

And it created a whole bunch of geologic ripples. So this is a lot of, there was also a lot of volcanism that happened during this process that also substantiate it was true.

21:25

So you have the seafloor subducting, heat friction, lots of volcanism comes up, creating all these volcanoes on the edge.

21:34

They're piling up. And if you even look at what's called the Independence Dike Swarm, which is a system of linear rifts split and broke open 4 ,000 cubic miles of ash, it covered half of America.

21:48

This is exactly why the dinosaurs are buried in ash. Again, it's such an obvious thing.

21:54

If it happened slowly, you would think that they would be buried with just mud or sand or occasional rising rivers and things like that.

22:01

But these dinosaurs are sandwiched in layers of mud, sand, and ash.

22:08

Ash was involved in whatever killed the dinosaurs. And you can't do ash slowly.

22:13

You can't do ash in the amount of ash we see here, 4 ,000 cubic miles of it, with just some slow random process.

22:21

It had to be a catastrophic thing to create rapid subduction that created these volcanic systems that bellowed out huge amounts of ash.

22:31

After the flood, and this is exactly what we would expect, the volcanic systems started subsiding and getting slower.

22:40

So we have during the flood, the Independence Dike Swarm, but then after the flood, all these other systems started erupting as this process started big, but then it started getting gradual.

22:52

So we have the first eruption, the Independence Dike Swarm, rapidly killing off the dinosaurs after that.

22:58

We have some other volcanic eruptions, but they happened after the flood, and they weren't as extreme.

23:04

The first one put out the heaviest amount, but then they start getting smaller and lesser and lesser extent.

23:10

We have Mount St. Helens that happened after the flood, and in fact, it went off a couple times.

23:17

So we have this process where there's a huge subduction, lots of volcanic ash initially, and then it waned after the flood, which is exactly what we would expect.

23:27

But this is why we see the Jurassic layers of dinosaurs. Each one of these dots, that's not a single dinosaur.

23:34

These are massive bone beds. In fact, the Jurassic system, the Morrison Formation has 141 mass bone yards, and that's where multiple species and thousands of them are all found buried together.

23:48

So each one of these dots is a huge fossil find, and this is exactly where you would expect them to be if you have massive subduction coming in from the side here, and volcanism erupting all this ash and burying the creatures in these layers.

24:03

The Cretaceous layers happened last. They were right on the top of that burial system.

24:09

Look how wide of a kill zone that is. It's 1 ,800 miles long, 1 ,000 miles wide, and over a million square miles of dinosaurs are buried with fish, clams, and other types of marine life.

24:23

There's the Morrison Formation and what it looks like. That's just one part of the system.

24:29

It's a Jurassic system, involves 13 states, 141 massive bone beds, and we only see about a quarter of what's exposed.

24:37

Seventy -five percent of these dead dinosaurs and the marine life are still buried so deep we can't even dig it up.

24:44

And thus, we had a huge process. But this system isn't just land creatures.

24:49

They're buried in a jumble mass of crocodiles, turtles, lizards, frogs, and clams. The entire tropical system over there was simultaneously buried in the year -long flood.

25:00

And Dr. Clary from ICR has been generous to share a lot of his data based upon 1 ,800 oil boreholes around the world showing that this is the dinosaur peninsula where the dinosaurs made their last stand.

25:14

We have the water depth on each side. There's a lot of dinosaur trackways on this last stand peninsula.

25:20

But we're able now to map this stuff out. And secularists even admit this. When you go around taking pictures of museum signs in the museums in this kill zone here, every single sign you run into talks about a watery catastrophe, but they attach it to millions of years because they can't have it being a catastrophic

25:41

God -sent flood. The other evidence for this is, of course, there used to be just 14.

25:48

We're now up to 16 different types of bio -organic materials that are found in dinosaur bones.

25:54

And many of these have time stamps or time markers on them, like collagen. People can estimate how long collagen should be able to last in dinosaur bones.

26:04

We still find it in dinosaur bones, proving that they can't be 65 million years old. But look at how fresh some of these things look.

26:11

You've got blood cells and blood vessels and cartilage. This is the bones from the Lizcomb Bone Bed in Alaska.

26:18

The bones up there are unfossilized. Just like many of the bones you find in the Hell Creek Formation, they're also unfossilized.

26:25

In Madagascar, they're just still bones. They're not heavily permineralized. They're just organic dinosaur bones.

26:32

And this is from 50 peer -reviewed scientific journals that are not drawn from creationist publications.

26:38

These are drawn from secular publications. So Mark Armitage was able to take a triceratops horn and stretch it under a microscope.

26:47

So how in the world could that be a 65 million -year -old rock if it's still organic enough and still raw enough where you could take that bone material and stretch it out under a microscope?

26:59

It's still fluid, still organic, and that came from a triceratops that was buried in the flood about 4 ,400 years ago.

27:08

So there's really two hypotheses. The question is, how did you bury 13 states and fill them with dead land and sea creatures found all mixed together either slowly or rapidly under a one -year time frame?

27:21

That's really the question we have on the table here. And the evolutionists say that—this is from National Geographic—that they admit the

27:30

Farallon Plate subducted and created the Laramide Orogeny, the Rocky Mountains here, as it slid like a spatula under an undercooked pancake and pushed up the mountains.

27:41

We all agree that that happened. We can scan the earth and find the subducted Farallon Plate, but it didn't happen over millions of years because you simply can't have the dinosaurs living and hanging around when these mountains are being erupted.

27:56

They're buried in that same region. They're buried and killed. So there's that Farallon Plate that subducted.

28:02

And here's another clip from Paul Heller. He's a secular geologist that said, look, we know that this thing called the

28:09

Conjugate Shatsky Rise, which is an oceanic plateau, came in from a southwestern direction and was pulled under North America, creating all of the uplift that we see.

28:21

They attach it to a secular timeline, but they see this stuff. They understand that it happened, but they attach it to millions of years, which is really strange.

28:31

Again, keep thinking, how did it happen over millions of years? If you've got millions of dead land and sea creatures married in the exact same zone where it happened, it's a time marker that it happened quickly.

28:43

So you really can't have this entire ecosystem, all these dinosaurs just hanging out, living, you know, eating, doing what they do, while you have this

28:53

Farallon Plate subducting and nothing's happening up there. It doesn't make any sense because these creatures, when they were living, were buried.

29:01

You can't do that process over 25 million years. The fact that we have these dinosaur fossils buried in that kill zone is an indication, it's a time marker, frozen in time, for everybody to see that these animals were killed by the process.

29:17

They weren't there living for millions of years while the process was happening slowly. Entire families of dinosaurs were killed in a snapshot, along with the stuff that they were eating, right in that same zone.

29:29

So you really can't have dinosaurs living peacefully for 25 million years while the oceanic plates subduct and widespread volcanism is occurring, dying naturally and laying down and being buried in mud, sand, and ash.

29:43

It's a time marker that gives evidence that this entire area was rapidly subducted and the dinosaurs were buried.

29:52

Huge, huge system, right here under our feet. There's the dinosaur peninsula we talked about.

29:59

So here's what the secularists have as an explanation. They say, well, the dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago because the

30:07

Chicxulub asteroid came down and hit the Yucatan Peninsula. They say, well, that's where it hit, right over here, and they think that that asteroid can explain all of the dead dinosaurs around the world.

30:19

But look, just use some common sense. This is where the dinosaurs are killed in this one million mile kill zone over here.

30:26

That's where the asteroid hit. So here's where all the mud is buried in Montana, like that's where they find B -Rex, a huge T -Rex.

30:33

That's where the asteroid hit. Here's where the dinosaur kill zone is, this entire area over here.

30:39

So you can't have this little tiny asteroid down here that hits, and it's going to spread its impact and its tsunamis, and they've simulated what the impact would have done.

30:48

It comes up and it hits these areas in the coast, creates some offshore flooding and everything, but here's what we have in the middle of America and all the way up to Canada.

30:57

We have huge tsunamis that are bringing in the floodwaters from the side. We can't have a little asteroid down here bringing up a hundred feet of mud and burying an entire, you know, one million square mile area.

31:11

The asteroid simply wouldn't do that. It couldn't be responsible for killing off the entire species of all known hadrosaurs, the

31:20

Jurassic layers, the Cretaceous layers. That little asteroid event isn't even on the screen.

31:26

It's way, way down here, but we have all the dinosaurs buried up here because of the rifting that was happening on the side.

31:33

Had nothing to do with the asteroid down here. They're being pulled up and buried in the side because of the subduction and the tsunamis.

31:40

All the Allosaurus creatures are buried in this area. Now watch as I flip through the different species here.

31:45

This is where the Allosaurus are buried, all these little circles, and then we fly in the sauropods.

31:52

Look, they happen to be living in the same place when they bought it. Same thing with Stegosaurus.

31:58

And when you put them all together, they were living in the same neighborhoods when whatever happened to them happened to them.

32:05

It wasn't some slow gradual process. They were living in their ecosystems hanging out when this sudden thing came and hit them.

32:13

Pterosaurs could fly during the flood. Many of them are wiped out quickly. But they're really the only dinosaur species that could fly and live through the entire what they call the

32:22

Mesozoic timeframe. So they're actually buried in layers that are deep, medium, and high, all the way up to the

32:29

Cretaceous. Here's just one quick clip from a secular book that was written by Jack Horner.

32:37

And it's so funny. When you look at this book, it's called Digging Dinosaurs, and he's talking about this one dinosaur kill zone he found that stretches over a mile long.

32:46

You've got 30 ,000 fossil fragments here, a tomb of 10 ,000 dinosaurs. But look at the little subtitle of his book.

32:53

It says, The Search That Unraveled the Mystery of Baby Dinosaurs. They weren't able to find any baby dinosaurs in this one -mile stretch.

33:04

They found 10 ,000 adult Myosora, but zero babies. And they're calling it a mystery.

33:10

And you read this book, and he didn't solve it. They don't know how it happened. It's quite obvious how it happened, because you have all these adult

33:18

Myosora living. The flood happens. Panic ensues. The entire herd, a mile long, 10 ,000 of them make a run for it and leave behind everything else.

33:29

And 10 ,000 of them are buried there in that zone. And they're buried really catastrophically.

33:35

Jack Horner says, How could any mudslide? Again, remember, he's a secularist. How could any mudslide, no matter how catastrophic, have the force to take a two - or three -ton animal that had just died and smash it around so that its femur, still embedded in the flesh of its thigh, could split lengthwise?

33:55

So he's throwing his hands up saying, Something happened. Something happened fast. I've got a mile -long swath of dinosaurs, 10 ,000, and they're all adult, and not a single young dinosaur was found.

34:08

Every single dinosaur, think about that statistically, every single dinosaur of 10 ,000 was between nine and 23 feet long.

34:16

Everything else was ditched as these adults were booking for it. Then at the final stages of the flood, we have all of these submarine canyons.

34:24

If you start up at Washington and Oregon, these are much, much bigger than the Grand Canyon. This is all flood runoff.

34:31

You can see these huge canyons that go down all along the left coast of the U .S., where the water was sheeted off of the continent, and some of these down by Monterey are just huge.

34:43

Here's some by San Francisco. Here's one by Monterey. That dwarfs the Grand Canyon. When the water ran off from the flood, it's creating these huge runoff canyons that stretch for miles and miles and miles.

34:55

So that's what happened at the end stage of the flood. One of the other, I think, clear evidences of Noah's Flood that's not related to the demise of the dinosaurs is the fact that we have shortened lifespans now.

35:07

I did cover this a little bit yesterday in a difficult talk, but I think it's also relevant today. When I was a teenager reading the

35:13

Bible, I would say, Mom, this Bible's got to be a myth because people don't live 912 years now.

35:19

And these people in the Bible, in the first 11 chapters, it describes they started living 912 years on average, and then all of a sudden the flood hits, and their lifespans get shorter.

35:28

They're starting getting less and less and less. So I couldn't figure this out, didn't know what happened for years until John Sanford's work came out on genetic entropy.

35:37

He's got the exact explanation as to why the lifespans decline not suddenly, but exponentially along a slope after the flood.

35:47

So we have lifespan before the flood, 912 years. They decrease systematically afterwards.

35:54

And we know this is historically from the Scripture because we have lots of passages like this. I'm just going to read this one as an example.

36:01

Pharaoh comes up to Jacob and says, how old are you? And Jacob says to Pharaoh, well, the days and the years of my pilgrimage are 130.

36:09

Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers and the days of their pilgrimage.

36:19

So when asked by Pharaoh, he says, well, I'm only 130. And my years, because they've been hard, have not been like the years of my forefathers who lived hundreds and hundreds of years.

36:29

And he died when he was 147. So something's going on here. When you take these data points, and again, by way of reminder,

36:38

I spent 20 years testifying as an expert on statistics and research in state and federal court cases.

36:44

I worked in over 100 court cases, and I applied a lot of statistics. I've never run into something this strong, never.

36:51

When I would testify about something in court, all it had to do is be significant at the 5 % level of chance.

36:58

There's a phenomenon going on with these lifespans that's so significant that the model is, with respect to the model being a chance occurrence, is only likely in one in a quadrillion.

37:12

There's something so strong and so tight with these data points that 95 % of the lifespan data points fall within the model, what the model predicts.

37:23

There's only one little outlier here that pops out of the model just a little bit. But there's some phenomenon that's going on really strongly with this that shows it is a biological decay curve.

37:34

When you take the entire human genome and bottleneck it down to just eight people on the arc, and then they get off the arc and spread, mutations start increasing, not overnight, but exponentially and slowly along a slope.

37:50

Biologists call this a biological decay curve. It's what happens when inbreeding happens, and we can see the lifespan.

37:56

It doesn't fall off a cliff. It systematically gets lower and lower and lower. So my question when I present this in secular institutions is how and why would an ancient sheep herder who wrote the

38:11

Bible 3 ,500 years ago come up with this stuff? How can you take a guy that's out herding sheep, riding on animal parchment skins with a feather, come up with polynomial math, and fit a power law curve that's so strong that 95 % of the data points fall within the predicted line?

38:29

It's impossible. And further, why would the person writing the Bible want to try to exaggerate that if they weren't really living that long back then?

38:38

Because everyone would call him out and say, this guy's a farce. He's talking about people living 800, 900 years old.

38:45

So they would have called it out, and it would have been easily dispelled. But what's happening is either the person who wrote this was an advanced mathematician and a liar, or he's reporting real dates over real history in real time to the extent that it would be impossible for him to fabricate this.

39:05

That's exactly what we have, is we have real data over real time, and even Jesus referred back to many of these people as real historical people.

39:14

For me as a statistician, this vastly confirms the case for Old Testament genealogy and Old Testament history.

39:21

And yes, it's important because our Messiah in Luke 3 has a genealogy that they described that goes straight back all through the lines of the people that I just showed on that chart.

39:32

So it better be on real history because Romans 5 and 1 Corinthians 15 talks about the first Adam botched it, brought in sin, death, and suffering into the world, and the second

39:42

Adam, Christ, came to redeem us from that work. So it's a connection in history that for me is a great affirmation that we don't have a

39:51

God that has a Bible that's full of myth and fairy tales. It's based on real history that we can trust with our mind and our heart.

39:59

So it's like going to the chiropractor. You've got to make sure your heart and your mind, it's an 18 -inch separation, are aligned.

40:06

A lot of teens going through life today have no idea that this is real and true history. And Jesus said to love the

40:12

Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, and if you want to have a fully engaged faith, you have to be filled with the

40:20

Spirit, which sometimes is an intentional thing. You've got to keep the world out and the Lord in, and you have to trust with your mind and your heart that God's Word is true so that you can base your life on it.

40:32

It really takes those two things. Little story, I was up in Canada at the

40:37

Royal Tyrrell Museum, but before that we went to this place called Dinosaur Provincial Park.

40:42

They had an outdoor museum exhibit there, and it was just five people. It was me and my daughter and my son, and then a dad and his son, and the son came up and pushed the play button on the museum explanation as to how these creatures, like this dead edmontosaurus that was there in the museum exhibit, all folded up, wrapped up in mud, got there.

41:04

And the museum exhibit said, well, you know, millions of years ago this duck -billed dinosaur came up to a river.

41:10

There was a tropical storm. The river started overflowing its banks, and it tried to swim for it.

41:16

And about halfway through, it drowned, got overcome, and it just drowned and it died. Then another one lined up, and it followed it and tried to swim across, and it drowned, and it found, so we find it here.

41:26

And one by one, they lined up and just went to this death and demise. And my daughter, Michaela, just had an epiphany moment.

41:34

She's like, dad, that is the most crazy explanation I've ever heard because as far as my eyes can see right here where I stand, there's a 14 -mile stretch of the

41:44

Ceratopsian bone bed where not hundreds but thousands of these creatures are buried in mud heaps that are 50 feet high, and they're buried with marine life.

41:55

How do you do that by a slowly, you know, a slowly rising river that goes and these creatures lining up one by one and swimming across and dying?

42:05

When does that ever happen? When do you see deer going across one by one and swimming and dying? So she goes on, and she really has a little bit of an embarrassing epiphany because I'm thinking, well,

42:14

Michaela, tone it down. There's this dad here and his son, but he started walking up to me, and he's really obviously eavesdropping at this point.

42:21

There's no one else out there. It's over 100 degrees. He's listening to this whole thing, and then we finish and go back, and she runs off to get an ice cream, and I start walking out to the car.

42:30

And this guy walks up to me in the parking lot, and I was back on my defenses going, oh, my gosh,

42:35

I really don't want to talk with this guy. He's going to be a hostile evolutionist, and he's going to get mad at me for raising my kid under these fundamentalist values because we've heard it all before.

42:45

But he comes up to me, and he was real respectful, and he says, sir, do you have a minute? And I said, sure. He says,

42:51

I used to be a Christian, and now I'm a licensed geologist, and in five minutes of listening to your daughter,

42:58

I have completely changed my mind. Isn't that amazing?

43:03

Because she had this epiphany, and she's like, there's no way this could have happened, and he was listening and listening and listening, and she really did have a rant, and it lasted for about five minutes is when her light bulb turned on, and he says,

43:15

I was indoctrinated in this millions of years and slow strata and all this stuff, and it really didn't make any sense, but I kind of just gave it up, or I believed that stuff and gave up the biblical explanation.

43:27

But after hearing your daughter, that really, that explanation fits what I actually see with my own eyes.

43:34

And so we had a great conversation. He says, I'm going to come back to the Lord now, that's amazing, and I happened to bump into him the next day twice.

43:42

I had a couple of divine appointments with him, just bumped into him at a gift shop and bumped into him at another gift shop.

43:47

So God was chasing him that day, but it's real interesting. So that's why I say the evidence for the flood is obvious, but it's obfuscated.

43:57

Every time you watch History Channel, Nova Channel, whatever it's going to be, they're going to obfuscate two things, a divine instantaneous creation that was spoken out by God and the flood.

44:08

But it's quite obvious when you pull off the blinders and look at this data, it's extremely obvious that it happened exactly like the

44:16

Bible said. Welcome to Genesis Apologetics. Our mission is to reveal

44:21

God's truth about creation to as many students as possible. Students today are saturated by the world with the idea of evolution over millions of years.

44:30

The Bible presents a much different history of earth and everything in it. Most students today, even many

44:36

Christian students, have no idea that the Genesis account is real history, including creation spoken into existence by God only recently, dinosaurs living with man, and a catastrophic worldwide flood.

44:48

When students understand these truths, it helps them build their lives on God's word because it's true, both theologically and historically.

44:56

For K -8 students, we have The Zone. Just sign up on our Student Zone page for free videos and curriculum.

45:03

5th -10th grade students enjoy our Debunk Evolution program, where we address the top 10 pillars of evolution taught in today's public schools.

45:11

Our Debunking the 7 Myths program is designed for students 11th grade through college. This program addresses the seven leading myths about Genesis, creation, and the flood that are taught in today's colleges, even some

45:23

Christian colleges. Families will enjoy watching our Genesis Impact movie before visiting natural history museums.

45:30

This movie highlights a dialogue between a Christian student and a museum docent regarding the top 10 pillars of evolution featured in most museums.
