What's up, guys? Welcome, welcome, welcome. Thank you to our live studio audience and to everybody watching across them internets.
00:46
I'm Jeff Durbin. This is Next Week. Don't forget to like and share the episode. Let's talk about the news. You guys ready?
00:53
So check it out. Donald Trump is spending the next 10 days out of the country in Asia.
00:59
I'm actually just letting you know the one and only setup Stephen Colbert used last night. That's what that was about.
01:06
President Trump visited South Korea this past week, and when prompted about North Korea, he actually said this, as we work together, the
01:13
US stands prepared to defend itself and its allies using the full range of our unmatched military capabilities and Twitter.
01:25
This Friday, France will open its first all -nude restaurant.
01:31
This would be a great place to go if you'd like to lose your appetite, and it shows the old adage, sinners gonna sin.
01:38
Definitely. This week, archaeologists discovered an ancient gem near Egypt, and as it turns out,
01:45
Pharaoh only granted membership to the Egyptians. That was until Moses said, hey, let my people swole.
01:56
Dad joke. Hashtag. After Sunday's tragic shooting, many celebrities, as usual, and politicians, including
02:06
Bernie Sanders and Cecil Richards, wait, is it Cecil or Cecile?
02:13
Which one is it? Because everyone keeps correcting, well, we'll just continue butchering her name like she does everybody else.
02:22
Cecil Richards tweeted about how they want senseless murders to end, and so apparently now they're all against abortion.
02:29
Finally! Thank you, guys. Glad you guys finally caught up.
02:37
An angry woman caused a flight to perform an emergency landing after discovering her husband was cheating on her, and she actually immediately started hitting him on the flight.
02:49
The airline said they could not allow violence on their plane because they are not United Airlines.
02:56
And guys, check it out, it's November, which means I can finally say
03:01
Merry Christmas! That's right. I am a big fan of Christmas, God becoming a man is a big deal, and I feel like it's been forever since I could say
03:11
Merry Christmas. But if you ask me, I'd say that right now is just about the right time, so I feel like I could sing and dance, guys.
03:21
Here it comes. Stop it! Stop this madness right now!
03:27
Save the ears of your audience, you can't talk about Christmas now! I'm completely and utterly,
03:35
Chris, I am totally confused right now, who let him in? Can I help you?
03:40
What do you want? Yes you can, by taking down any Christmas decorations you already put up, my name is
03:48
Nebuchadnezzar Smooch, and it's not time for Christmas! Okay, first of all, that can't be your real name.
03:56
It is! Is Nebuchadnezzar even a name? Absolutely. It sounds like you took a
04:01
Bible name and a Christmas name and you smooched it together. It is my name! My dad wanted to name me after Nebuchadnezzar, and my mom wanted a name harder to pronounce.
04:12
Well, success. Okay, so, I'm guessing since your name is Nebuchadnezzar Smooch, you're here because you want to destroy
04:18
Christmas and all that? Preposterous! No, I think that's what you are doing with all that singing.
04:25
I'm here to stop you from celebrating Christmas too early. Oh, you're one of those people.
04:31
The normal kind of people, Jeff. Think of the consequences! Every show only does one
04:36
Christmas episode a season. You're telling me that you're going to do your one Christmas episode a week after Halloween?
04:43
I mean, I just now ate all of my kid's candy! You ate all of your kid's candy in a week?
04:50
Oh yeah, I had to get the candy out of the house. I'm about to go on a diet in January like everybody else. Jeff, you can't do your one episode of Christmas this early.
05:00
Sorry, I need glasses this Christmas. One? Smooch, we're not doing one
05:07
Christmas episode. We're doing it the whole time. We're going to decorate a little by little every week.
05:16
No! You can't do that! No show does that! No show does that!
05:23
We have a little budget for this show. Listen to yourself, you sound crazy! No, Bob Cratchit! Not now,
05:29
Bob Cratchit! No! Stop, go away! Go away! Little Timmy! No, no!
05:35
Get out! Get out! Oh, that's... Smooch, you have to calm down.
05:48
You're right. I'm going to ask you one more time. Take down the Christmas decorations.
05:53
If you don't, I will hate Christmas forever. Forever ever? Forever. Forever.
06:01
Forever. Forever. Forever. That is kind of extreme, don't you think,
06:07
Smooch? And I know with you Christmassy people, you need something to celebrate. So, if you take down the lights,
06:14
I'll give you something just as shiny and fun. Oh, really? Oh.
06:22
Oh, that's amazing. Isn't it great? It is great. This is awesome. Yeah, I think we're still going to do
06:30
Christmas. Fine. This is great, though. I'm keeping my fidget spinner. Oh. All right, guys, that was
06:37
Smooch. Merry Christmas. We have a great show for you guys.
06:43
Awesome show. We have Eric Hoven with Creation today talking about Genesis 3D.
06:48
We have some important stuff to share with you guys. Like and share the episode. We will be right back. Merry Christmas. Janice, do you believe we're capable of a civilized debate on this issue?
06:58
Well, as a person who's spoken of having traveled for an abortion myself, an awful lot of the rhetoric online can be very hurtful.
07:05
We can get a knock among the youths. So, I would ask anybody engaged on this topic to be civil. Do you believe abortion is murder?
07:13
Yeah, but I'm not going to say yes. I'm not going to blame the women who do it. But we do need to change some of the language.
07:19
We do need to de -stigmatize this. It's one of the reasons the Abortion Rights Campaign is called the Abortion Rights Campaign. For too long, we didn't even use the word abortion in this country.
07:27
How do you stop babies being murdered? That's right. So, what you do is, you don't condemn them and tell them they're murderers.
07:36
From our point of view, we're the campaign to broaden the existing abortion rights in this country. So, it's really important that we use the word.
08:37
If you are told by a medical doctor that this baby is not going to survive outside the room, why should you be tortured and carry a child that's not going to survive?
08:46
It's inhuman. Why is it that the pro -choice movement doesn't like to engage positions intellectually and with reason?
08:55
This is what the left does. They intimidate the bully people. That's the purpose of the left.
09:00
It's to make sure that you can't articulate your viewpoint in any way. This is the time you've all been waiting for.
09:33
It's the time for the blend of the week. So, this blend of the week is called evolutionary espresso.
09:42
It's just your typical coffee bean now, but used to be a fish with legs. Let's do this, guys.
09:51
Let's talk about science. Welcome back, everybody.
09:58
How do you like this lamp? It's wonderful, right? Now, friends, fans, and atheists who believe that humans are nothing more than bipedal protoplasm,
10:08
I guess protoplasm sounds more comforting than humans created by an almighty God who loved us before we were even born.
10:16
Let's face it, guys. Atheism is as stupid as blindfolding a man during a pin the tail on the donkey competition.
10:23
And the thing is, men don't even play pin the tail on the donkey. It doesn't make any sense. The notion that human beings are the descendants of highly evolved societies of bacteria in a universe that doesn't care, that isn't guided, that has no purpose, with nothing spiritual or immaterial, that has no goal or end, with no ultimate truth or justice, and where little yellow canaries are descended from dinosaurs is about as solid as Bernie Sanders' promise of free college.
10:52
Or Hillary Clinton's promise of pretty much anything ever. You see, we live in interesting times, guys.
11:00
I mean, we have a watch that tells you how many steps you took that day. If you have to count your steps in order to make sure you're getting enough exercise, you're not getting enough exercise.
11:10
See, technology isn't the only indication that we're living in interesting times. Historically, Christians have been the group known for creating culture, advancing the arts and the sciences, increasing education, developing hospitals, and making the world pretty much a wonderful place.
11:27
Just consider these facts. Some of the world's greatest and oldest educational institutions were not just created by Christians, but they were created on the basis of the biblical worldview.
11:39
Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, Harvard, Brown University, and We Believe in God Community College.
11:48
You see, these institutions were explicitly Christian, and they came into being not as an accident of the
11:54
Christian faith, but on the basis of Christian principles. Human beings have value and dignity being made in the image of God.
12:03
Truth actually matters. It's a real thing. Logic is necessary, universal, immaterial, and unchanging, much like banana -flavored pancakes.
12:14
Don't ask questions, guys. Just trust me on this one, okay? Now, logic reflects the thinking of God.
12:20
There are absolute standards of morality based upon the unchanging character of God. We live in a universe where science is actually possible.
12:29
Nature is uniform and law -like. God upholds it, and we can depend upon His governance.
12:35
And that's why we can do experiments. We can fly planes and make a million movies that, if discovered by humans 100 years from now, will be extraordinarily embarrassing to our society.
12:47
And mainly, I'm talking about Religulous. Can we just please destroy all the copies of that movie?
12:54
So that Bill Maher doesn't represent our society one day? You see, atheism didn't give us the foundations that we have today.
13:02
Atheists live on borrowed capital. They have to secretly depend upon the biblical worldview in order to function in God's world.
13:10
Here's the thing. Show me the educational institution built on the basis of the worldview that believes we are meat -bone descendants of fish.
13:19
Show me the hospital built upon atheism. The same atheism, by the way, that believes that human beings are no more special in the cosmos than rocks, weeds, or broccoli.
13:33
Can't think of one? That's because atheism doesn't build those things. Christianity does. And, I don't know, maybe
13:40
I went too far with saying atheists like Dan Barker from the Freedom From Religion Foundation believes that human beings are just cosmic broccoli.
13:48
I mean, it's not like he's actually said anything like that. If we were like God, and if we did know the future, then we would not have free will.
13:56
We would not be personal beings. And, in fact, in reality, we are not. In the end of the cosmos, it's not going to matter.
14:02
You and I are like ants, or rats, or like pieces of broccoli, really, in the big picture.
14:08
Eat your kids, broccoli. Eat your broccoli, kids. You are related to them, you know.
14:15
Now, not only was Christianity foundational to what we know today, but some of the world's greatest scientific advances and minds were
14:23
Christian in nature. It's the truth. Just think about the fact that right now, you're all watching this because of a
14:29
Christian named Samuel Morse. Morse was raised in a Christian home, catechized, and saw the world through biblical eyes.
14:38
Samuel's wife died while he was away, and he received a letter that she fell ill. And the letter said not to bother rushing home because by the time he received the letter, she would have already been buried.
14:49
Now, Samuel's parents raised him to glorify God and enjoy
14:54
Him forever. And to do whatever he did to the glory of God.
15:00
So he took that biblical worldview and he developed the technology that allowed people to communicate over long distances in a moment.
15:08
Now, we know it today as the telegraph. We also know it as the way great -grandpa communicates to his friends when they're planning a surprise party at the nursing home.
15:18
At the time, humans could only communicate as fast as a horse. And after this
15:24
Christian's invention, we could now communicate at the speed of light. The first testing of this technology came across the ocean with this message,
15:32
Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace and goodwill towards men.
15:38
Stop it! No Christmas references! I wasn't making any reference to Christmas smooch.
15:46
But you're right! They did say that in Charlie Brown. Good catch, smooch! Put up the picture of the
15:51
Peanuts gang. No! And the very first telegraphic message said this,
15:58
What hath God wrought? His technology provided the basis for all that we use and take for granted today.
16:06
The person I want to focus on today is Samuel Morse. He was 63 when this was painted.
16:12
In 1844, Morse applied for a patent for his telegraph. To show important people in Washington that it worked, he sent a historic message from the old
16:23
Supreme Court chamber, then in the U .S. Capitol, to his assistant in Baltimore.
16:29
The message was What hath God wrought? And a plaque that has that message is still outside the old
16:36
Supreme Court chamber today. This invention revolutionized communications. We went from a time when it didn't take days but weeks and months to communicate messages to a time when it was instant.
16:50
All previous human history before the advent of the telegraph can be described as the
16:56
Great Hush. What hath God wrought indeed? This has been
17:02
Portrait Innovate. Awesome, right guys? Now, So, Facebook, Instagram, Verizon, Apple, HBO, CNN, and Fox News can all thank
17:16
God and Samuel Morse for everything that they use today. Now, I mean, without Morse Code, we wouldn't even have traditional
17:24
Christmas specials like this one. It's too soon!
17:41
No, it's not, smooch! Now, anyway, like inventions of television, the atheists are dependent upon God for everything they have.
17:50
From medicine to technology, some of the greatest advances in modern science came from Christianity.
17:58
Yet, we live in interesting times. Over the last generation specifically, Christians have largely backed away from culture.
18:05
That's right, Christians treated the world like the U .S. did to North Korea. We changed everything, then we ghosted them knowing all they really need is attention and love.
18:14
Once the creators and shapers of civilization, because of end times views like that have left behind, we seem more preoccupied with leaving behind our undies and a secret rapture than leaving behind a lasting and meaningful legacy for Christ.
18:28
Into this void enter atheists, humanists, and secularists.
18:33
Yes, the same ones who believe that we are African apes in a cosmos of time and chance acting on matter who believe that ultimately nothing really matters.
18:42
These are the same people working really hard to do things that actually matter. Atheists like Lawrence Krauss who believes the universe came from nothing, that the future is miserable, that the physical constants in the universe came about by sheer accident also teaches as a professor of physics at ASU.
19:00
The picture that science presents to us is in some sense uncomfortable because what we've learned is that we are more insignificant than we ever could have imagined.
19:15
You could get rid of us and all the galaxies and everything we see in the universe and it would be largely the same. So we're insignificant on a scale that Copernicus never would have imagined.
19:24
And in addition it turns out the future is miserable. So the two lessons that I like to say I like to give is first we're insignificant and second the future is miserable.
19:33
Now you might think that should depress you but I would argue that in fact it should embolden you and provide you a different kind of consolation.
19:42
Because if the universe doesn't care about us and if we're an accident in a remote corner of the universe in some sense it makes us more precious.
19:53
Oh isn't that nice? Now to put this in perspective here's a man who believes that something came from nothing even though we all know that something cannot come from nothing except for Bitcoin.
20:07
Except for Bitcoin. Now you'll have to forgive this African ape for asking what might seem like an obvious question.
20:14
How do we do physics which depends on a law -like and uniform universe if the world is really as Krauss says it is random, unguided the result of cosmic accidents and not guaranteed to be dependable?
20:27
I'll tell you how. You have to abandon your atheism and borrow from Christianity. For more on this,
20:33
I asked a real scientist. Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only SuperSmartKyle! Take a look!
20:39
What's up guys? I'm here with SuperSmartKyle who has much better goggles than I have.
20:44
What's with that man? Just to make sure that I'm protected. I have to work with students using acids and it's entertaining.
20:52
SuperSmartKyle. So what are we doing today, SuperSmartKyle? So we're showing a couple differences between what science would be like if we didn't know what to expect from experiments and when we do know what to expect.
21:05
The idea being you can have really nasty surprises if you aren't prepared properly if you weren't able to rely on the future being like the past and knowing what to expect from chemical reactions and here what we expect when we know the conditions of something so that we can control them.
21:23
So you're a total nerd. A little bit. A geek. I have a job and friends.
21:30
So the idea is that with the Christian worldview and the biblical worldview we can actually have a basis for science.
21:36
Nature is uniform. It's law -like. We have past experiences and based upon those past experiences we can project into the future what will be the case.
21:45
So right now we have some bottles of soda and we have some baking soda and we have a spoon and some strips and what are these for?
21:54
They look like they have carpet on them. Is that carpet? No, it's not carpet. It's probably a loose -packed polymer that contains a couple reagents pH indicators and chlorine indicators and some other reactants.
22:07
Right. Carpet. So these are pH strips. So what are we going to do? What we're looking at is an example of what happens when you have kind of a surprise reaction and then what happens when you have sort of a controlled reaction.
22:20
Here we've already pre -boiled this so that this soda doesn't have any more carbonation in it because that's the first step to actually neutralizing it.
22:31
So if you heat up soda, it takes the bubbles out? It does. No more bubbles. This says caffeine on it.
22:38
It does. That's the most important active ingredient of every day. Super smart,
22:44
Kyle. What's next? So now we're going to demonstrate what science would be like when we were trying to do reactions if we didn't know what to expect all the time.
22:54
So I'm going to need you to carefully add a few of these to one of your bottles and then we'll add a few of these to the others.
23:04
Don't be nice, Kyle. We have a few more here. There you go. Alright, so we got the diet soda and we got the
23:12
Mentos, which is called the what? This is what's going to be our surface area for the
23:18
Freshmaker. I'll take your word for it. This is what's going to give us the surface area to release the carbonation in a slightly rapid fashion.
23:28
It's going to basically blow up. Alright, ready? So, Mentos. See, if science was unpredictable, all of our experiments would look like this and, well, we'd sort of have a mess on our hands.
23:44
So the idea is that if nature wasn't uniform, if the universe was unpredictable and chaos, you'd never know what experiment's going to do what?
23:54
No, you have to be able to understand what's going to be produced from your experiment so that you know how to control the reactions.
24:02
Okay, so let's try one and seal. This one's going to make a mess.
24:12
Should I expect anything? It might overcome the bottle, but I don't know that I've seen a single one overcome the bottle.
24:21
Well, how do you do it? Is it bottom up, right? And you drop it, right? And launch it? Okay. Alright, now, when we go to do this in a more controlled fashion so that we know what to expect, we start by characterizing our system.
24:38
In this case, we boil off a lot of our material so that we have no more carbonate salts.
24:44
We check and see, alright, we're still very low on the pH scale below what this will actually read.
24:50
The idea is, because this is a triprotic acid, we want to be adding in something to neutralize it and evolve some
24:59
CO2 gas. Because a lot of that carbonate salt is already gone, there's some gas evolution.
25:08
Did you say evolution? Yes. Not in the speciation sense.
25:14
This is in the sense of producing a new chemical species from another existing chemical species.
25:21
Here we should be past the point where we're under acidic conditions.
25:29
We should have enough base present to neutralize it. Enough base present?
25:35
As opposed to trouble? It would be if you were listening to some sort of a hipster song, but in this case, we're looking for Lewis acids and bases.
25:45
There we see a significant color change. Are you married, Kyle? I am. People wonder how, but even scientists can get girls sometimes.
25:54
Here we are. We're a little bit above neutral pH. Look at there. This is what happens when we understand the conditions going into a system.
26:02
The idea is, when you walk into your laboratory as a scientist, because you're super smart, Kyle, and you do these things, you actually didn't have to go out to purchase one of these.
26:11
No, I own this. There are a couple stains here and there that are authentic. Okay. Don't worry about it.
26:19
It's fine. When you walk into your laboratory and you start to do experiments, do you walk into the laboratory going, hey, we don't know.
26:29
We don't know what's going to happen. That's how accidents happen and that's how we learn how emergency showers work.
26:35
That's a bad idea. Describe that. As a scientist, as a Christian, how does the biblical worldview provide a basis for everything that you do and everything that you teach?
26:46
Because we understand the ideas of things like the principle of induction, we can assume that the future will be as the past and that chemical reactions will be governed by specific behaviors, by specific laws.
26:59
We are able to move forward and understand new things building on each of the principles that we've learned and that's very much the way that we actually teach a lot of these labs if they're set up properly so that students can build on the fundamental concepts in order to build a more rounded understanding of different separations methods, different things that are combined and one of the things that I tell them frequently is beginning to sort of look into some of those invisible attributes that hold together the world.
27:28
So when you think about, say, an atheistic framework, atheist professors and scientists, colleagues, right?
27:34
When they walk into a laboratory, they have a particular framework of the world. They believe the world is random, time and chance acting on matter, nothing immaterial, they don't believe in God who personally governs everything.
27:45
When you think about that worldview, how should that impact how they walk into the laboratory if they really believe that and lived like it?
27:52
I think in a lot of regards they're somewhat foolish for obeying the laws to begin with because they don't believe in an ultimate accountability so they don't believe in anything that should resemble consistency in the lab and I really don't understand how they cross that bridge of not being able to justify the principle of induction and using it every day so at the end of the day, these guys like to go home and I don't know, drink whiskey and smoke cigars or something and pretend to not think about the fact that they cannot justify the very science that they're using to be their authority on truth.
28:30
Right on. Very good. What's your favorite movie Kyle? Baseballs. Makes sense.
28:38
Very good! You see guys, science isn't actually possible with an atheist postulated and perverse view of the universe.
28:48
It is possible with the biblical worldview and that's why some of the greatest scientists and educational institutions were
28:55
Christian. Or you can think about men like Richard Dawkins. Dawkins once suggested that Christian education was child abuse.
29:04
Now I'll tell you what's actually child abuse. Actual child abuse. Now if he would have opened his eyes and ears to the gospel, he would know that biblical
29:13
Christianity fights against abuse. But Dawkins is regularly bombastic and he rails against Christianity.
29:20
As a scientist, he said this about the law -like nature of the universe. And it's quite true that many scientists, many physicists maintain that the physical constants, the half dozen or so numbers that physicists have to simply assume in order to derive the rest of their understanding just have to be assumed.
29:42
You can't provide a rationale for why those numbers are there. And physicists have calculated that if any of these numbers was a little bit different, the universe as we know it wouldn't exist.
29:53
We wouldn't be here. The universe would perhaps have fizzled out in the first yocto second and so we wouldn't be here.
29:59
Or other things would have gone wrong. Yep. Now this is also the same man who claims that our 185th millionth grandparent was a fish.
30:09
So who really was the first person? And I begin with a slightly paradoxical answer that there never was a first person.
30:18
Because every animal, every person ever born belonged to the same species as its parents.
30:26
You can take that back as far as you like, and I take it back to 185 million generations ago, you turn over the page and you reveal that your 185 million greats grandfather was a fish.
30:41
Aren't these the guys that constantly condemn mythology? Is it just me? Now also how can these people eat halibut or broccoli without thinking of their ancestors, right?
30:52
Now Dawkins is another example of a man who doesn't have a workable world view that can make sense of everything that he's saying and doing.
31:01
Now he believes we're descendants of fish and bacteria in a universe that is a cosmic accident. However he complains about the
31:08
God of the Bible, condemns the evil in the Bible, thinks religion is a virus and is poisonous and he wishes to eradicate it from the world completely.
31:18
I think there's a word for that Dawkins. It's called genocide. But of course he wouldn't want to commit genocide because that wouldn't be ethical.
31:28
Think about it. And that brings me actually to one thing I wanted to say in today's episode.
31:34
Everybody's aware of the tragedy that took place in Texas at a church over the weekend. A dirtbag, as our friends over at Gun Owners of America would say, walked into a
31:46
Christian church during worship and murdered over 25 people. Now speaking of ethics, this man, it's been reported was a militant atheist.
31:56
And I want to say this, and this is vital to get right. As a Christian with a biblical world view, we have an answer as to why these kinds of things happen in the world.
32:05
We believe in the fall. And we also have a basis as a Christian standing on God's word to hurt, to shed tears, and to complain about it.
32:14
With a biblical world view, you have a reason to be morally indignant when a wicked man walks into a church and murders people.
32:20
You see, the biblical world view and Jesus gives us a basis to care, to complain, and to cry about it.
32:27
If we abandon Jesus and God's word, and we stand on the world view postulated by Dawkins and Krauss and company, then what happened in Texas wasn't wrong.
32:37
It may have been painful, but it wasn't morally wrong. It just is.
32:43
Which brings us to the fact that this guy, Dawkins, can't even live consistently with what he says.
32:51
In order to make ethical appeals that have any meaningful, any meaning whatsoever, he has to abandon his atheism and act like people are made in the image of God.
33:01
In order to do science, he has to live as though the world is the way God says it is and not the way that he says it is.
33:08
The Bible says that all of us know God and that we are suppressing the truth about him in unrighteousness and refusing to worship him.
33:16
Don't believe it? Take a listen to Dawkins agree. I think that when you consider the beauty of the world, and you wonder how it came to be what it is, you are naturally overwhelmed with a feeling of awe, a feeling of admiration, and you almost feel a desire to worship something.
33:40
I feel this. I recognize that other scientists such as Carl Sagan feel this.
33:47
Einstein felt it. We all of us share a kind of religious reverence.
33:55
Hashtag Romans 1 y 'all. Now, that's right. We live in a time following heroes, giants, and warriors in Christianity.
34:07
These are people who risk their lives and their reputations to bring the gospel to the world, to create beauty, art, and culture, to advance science and reason, to educate the world, and to bring healing to the nations.
34:20
We ought to be fighting the good fight against people who want to teach our kids that they are cosmic broccoli. We ought to reject belief systems like atheism that provide no basis for science, no basis for reason, and no basis for ethics.
34:34
We ought to love God, the world, and our children enough to win the world to Jesus and leave a lasting legacy.
34:42
One that actually transforms the world for the glory of God. Because I'll tell you what, believing that my grandpappy was a fish just ain't good enough.
34:51
I'm sure you'll agree, guys. We'll be right back, guys, right here next week. Thank you for joining us. Let the world know, share, and like the episode.
34:58
We'll be right back. Apologia All Access is
35:13
Apologia Church's opportunity to have a farther reach into the world with our proclamation of the gospel, our defense of the gospel, our engagement of the culture.
35:23
And I pray God today that you would move in a mighty way, Lord God, to open the eyes and hearts of these people and draw them to your
35:29
Son. So again, it's back to who do we believe, Jesus or Joseph? What it is is this.
35:35
People who are fans of our ministry, who learn from our materials, they partner with us.
35:41
They join together with Apologia Church. They donate $7 .95 a month. And when they donate, they participate with us in ministry, making all of this possible.
35:50
The studio, our reach into the world, our evangelism, our special television show, our videos, everything that we do to communicate the gospel around the world.
35:59
We began to go across the island and we saw the cults everywhere. There's a real opportunity to bring the gospel in a powerful way here.
36:09
Ultimately, our goal is to create television programming that glorifies Christ and its qualities, but can also engage the culture in its conversation.
36:20
If I'm a Christian, if I believe in my Lord Jesus Christ, it stays with me in all areas of my life.
36:26
That means if I'm in business, if I'm in politics, it stays with me. I like you a lot.
36:33
With Apologia TV and Happy Show, we have guests like John Frame, Dr. James White, Ken Ham, and Denny Burke, with more guests added every week.
36:43
And we've discussed relevant news, information, and issues. We cover a wide breadth of topics, everything from abortion, to apologetics, to cults like Mormonism and Jehovah's Witnesses, to biblical theology and Reformed theology.
36:59
For new predestined, justified, glorified links forged by God in this golden chain.
37:07
So when you sign up for All Access, you get the weekly television show, the after show, you get Apologia Academy and all the advanced theological training, and you make all the additional content that we put out possible.
37:21
There is evil and suffering in the world. So what? Nothing is ultimately evil in an atheistic world.
37:27
So what? So the content we're able to put out to reach into the world with the gospel is made possible by you, our
37:34
All Access partners. Welcome back everybody.
37:42
Welcome back to Next Week with Jeff Durbin. Thank you all for joining us. Very excited about our next guest. We are having Eric Hovind from Creation Today.
37:50
He is going to be here today talking to us about the first biblical 3D film ever.
37:56
It's going to be on 1 ,200 screens nationwide. It's called Genesis 3D. Welcome Eric Hovind.
38:01
What's up, Jeff? How are you guys doing, man? Good, brothers. Good to see your face, man. Thank you. It's great to be on the show with you.
38:07
You guys are pioneering brand new technology and making a Christian night show possible, funny, without filth.
38:17
I love it. Oh, wow. That's a huge blessing, man. Thank you so much for that. That means a lot to us. Hey, so, man, you've always been on the cutting edge of a lot of things, and that's exciting.
38:28
It's always encouraging and inspiring to us to see some of the things that you're doing. This is actually very exciting.
38:33
I got a chance to take a look at some of Genesis 3D. It looks, brother, it looks beautiful. It really is,
38:41
I think, a powerful opportunity, and you guys are doing it right. It's not the typical sort of standard cheesy
38:49
Christian media. It looks really, really good. So, introduce us to Genesis 3D, brother. Well, thank you for those compliments.
38:55
I get the blessing of not being able to take any of the credit other than saying yes to a great idea.
39:01
Ralph Strean is the director and the producer, and he's literally spent the last seven years of his life, last five years full -time.
39:07
I mean, we're talking 16, 18 -hour days full -time producing this world's first here, and it's an experience that we're going to give to people at the theater next
39:18
Monday and next Thursday only. It's a fathom event, and you get to go to the theater and experience the creation of the world on the big screen, and if you choose 3D, you get to experience it in 3D as well.
39:31
We're excited because I think it does a great job of hitting exactly what you guys like to hit. It presents evidence, but it does it in a presuppositional way that says, if you don't start with Scripture, your whole worldview is going to be messed up.
39:44
So, I think this film does a great job of starting with creation from the right perspective and taking us right to the need for salvation, which is what you guys are always talking about.
39:54
Well, that's a great encouragement, and it's exciting. I think what I appreciate about you, Eric, so much is just your approach in terms of we have so much evidence, evidence all around us.
40:05
It's overwhelming, but you stand firm on the biblical worldview and God's revelation as the principium, as the starting point of all of your thinking, demonstrating that if you don't start with God, you can't have science.
40:16
You can't even have a study of history that's meaningful. You can't have logic or ethical obligations to be honest as you present evidence, and so you do all that, but you also do it in a way where you demonstrate what is all around us and should be obvious to everybody.
40:31
Now, you also have some very interesting interviews in the movie as well, Eric. Tell us about some of the people that you interviewed for the film.
40:38
We were really blessed. We worked with Answers in Genesis, which is the leading creation organization in the world today.
40:44
They've got the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter. We filmed at the Creation Museum at night, so we had 10 nights at the museum interviewing
40:51
Ray Comfort, Ken Ham, Dr. Voddie Bauckham, and Dr. Bauckham is the narrator in the film,
40:56
Dr. Georgia Purdom, Dr. Tommy Mitchell, Dr. Jeremy Lyon, a Hebrew expert. We got a geology expert, microbiology expert.
41:04
The people are going to hear how science continually confirms what God's Word says over and over and over as they literally experience the creation account, and they hear
41:15
Scripture, but more than just hearing it, they watch it happen. I don't know. You've seen the
41:20
Nova Discovery Channel shows, right, where they have some guy talking about how life evolved in the water and then crawled up onto land, and they show this thing crawling from the water onto land, and people go, it must have happened that way.
41:32
And we go, no, no, no, that's not what happened, but they're fooling people, and they're using a teaching technique by just simply making it visible.
41:40
We thought, well, let's apply the same technique, but let's teach the truth. Let's actually apply the truth of God's Word to the teaching style and let people experience creation.
41:52
So this really is a first opportunity for people to go out and experience creation in theaters.
41:58
And guess when it's happening, Jeff? Next week. Next week, baby! Next week. That's right.
42:03
So you said Mondays and Thursdays, there's 1 ,200 theaters nationwide, and let's do this.
42:10
Let's give everyone an opportunity to see a clip. Marcus, go ahead and roll that clip. People will say, well, it just seems so hard to believe the
42:26
Bible because of all those miracles and everything. Well, the Big Bang's a miracle, evolution of life would have to be a miracle, and the changing of that life into all the origin of the species all require violations of the laws of science.
42:37
To believe there's no God, you're going to have to believe in miracles without a miracle maker. To believe that evolution is true, you're going to have to violate some of the main, most important principles and laws of science that have been agreed upon.
42:50
Not only does the evolutionary atheist worldview violate the first law of thermodynamics, that's against the principle of science, but also,
42:57
Louis Pasteur proved spontaneous generation wasn't true, but all evolutionists, every evolutionist believes in spontaneous generation of life.
43:04
This whole evolutionary concept that life came from non -life, it actually violates a law of science.
43:10
It is one of the only laws in biology, it's called the law of biogenesis. It says that life comes from life, not non -life.
43:17
The law of biogenesis that says all life comes from pre -existing life, and yet evolution says that life can come from non -life.
43:26
Surprise, if you just wait long enough. People just believe it blindly. Very good,
44:00
Eric, looks beautiful. I'm super excited about this opportunity that you guys have to produce something that's beautiful, that is well done, that tells a proper story, that stands on the word of God.
44:11
One of the things that I like to try to encourage believers to do is to use the great benefit, the tool that we have of social media, the internet, and just media in general to share the truth.
44:25
It's exciting, Eric, because, and I know you'll appreciate this because you use this, not very long ago, when you had opportunities to proclaim the gospel or to teach, you really had that one moment in time.
44:37
You had that church service, or you had that street corner, and you had the audience that was just right before you, and really, perhaps the only way you had to communicate what was said is maybe somebody wrote it down, and then we moved into audio, and then we moved into being able to do film and actually take pictures and photography, cinematography, and now we can share that content around the world.
44:59
Can you talk to us, Eric, just as a final word here, about the importance of participating with you guys in going to the theater, buying a ticket, and then beyond that, also sharing the content and letting people know about what's going on.
45:14
Talk to us about how important that is. Would love to, Jeff. Two things that are really critical. Number one, video, media, in the form of movies, is the language of the culture.
45:24
How many people today have read Darwin's Origin of Species? Not many. How many have watched
45:30
Jurassic Park? Millions. Right. Video and movies is the language that we've got to communicate to the culture in.
45:37
This film does that. This is one that Christians are going to go to the theater, and they're going to go, oh, my goodness, finally, a film that really presents what we actually believe, and it doesn't hold any punches.
45:49
I love this. And then they're going to say, I want my unsaved friends to see this. It's done with excellence.
45:55
It's done in a way that Christians are actually going to be incredibly, incredibly proud of.
46:00
And what's getting this out there, because we can't do a If we went to the theaters weekend after weekend, minimum budget $15 million.
46:09
We didn't have that. So we did Fathom, which means we're dependent on the people sharing this message and sharing this film on social media, letting them know that, hey, next week with capital next and capital week, tagging
46:22
Apologia in it, next week, Genesis Paradise Lost is going to be in the theaters on November 13th and November 16th.
46:28
They're going to experience creation. They're going to hear the evidence in a presuppositional way and they're going to be blown away.
46:34
And I believe many are going to come to Christ. People that believe in evolution are going to have a crisis of faith after they see it.
46:40
Oh, that's excellent. And I do want to say last word here from what I did see of the film. Again, it was beautiful.
46:46
It really is well done. I do appreciate that you speak in the film so much toward the culture that we live in and the importance of actually as Christians facing it and overcoming it and demolishing every argument that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.
47:03
That's important. Alright, guys, that's Eric Hoven, Creation Today. The movie is
47:08
Genesis 3D next week, 1 ,200 theaters nationwide. Make sure you guys get a ticket, participate, let everybody know about it.
47:15
Eric, your blessing as always. Hope to talk to you soon, brother. Thank you very much, Jeff. Tickets, genesismovie .com.
47:22
God bless, guys. God bless. Alright, guys. Eric Hoven, guys. Fantastic, wonderful, and stay with us, guys.
47:28
We got more coming for you guys. Don't forget to like and share the episode. Thank you again for joining us. We'll see you on the other side of the break.

49:50
... ... God saved a baby at the last standing abortion mill in Kentucky, so that's a big praise.
50:00
One of the churches that got connected with endabortionnow .com has been going out and just saving so many lives.
50:07
It is absolutely tremendous. And we got an amazing picture that we wanted to show you right here.
50:15
Twins. These babies right here are alive because of God's grace and God getting his people involved in the same fight that you can be a part of.
50:29
Endabortionnow .com is just a landing hub where people can get there, get connecting and free resources to be involved in the same fight in your local church with believers around you and your ministry.
50:40
So that's where you guys go. But we wanted to let you know about this last thing. Very, very important. So I wanna encourage you guys to listen to me.
50:47
I wanna speak to you from the heart. There is a fundamental problem in the church in terms of how we fight against abortion.
50:56
The pro -life ministries and organizations internationally and nationally have decided to take a neutral approach to ending abortion, not to be explicitly
51:07
Christian. And the pro -life movement has been influencing Christians, not just in the
51:13
United States, but really worldwide on how we should fight against the culture of death and those that seek the lives of these children.
51:20
And one of those nations, Ireland, it's illegal to have an abortion.
51:26
It's actually a 14 -year prison sentence in some cases. We went to Southern Ireland to get content to come into conflict with the pro -choicers there who are asking to repeal the
51:36
Eighth Amendment, which equalizes the life of the unborn child with the mother. So we went there to get content to help the church in Ireland and to tell a larger story.
51:48
If Christians do not stand on the word of God and the gospel in their fight against abortion, we lose.
51:55
The darkness will overtake us. We can't win by mere pragmatism or any other means than the word of God.
52:03
The Bible says the gospel is the power of God for salvation. Pro -life organizations internationally have chosen to move away from that as the standard and to take a neutral approach, a backdoor approach, not using biblical language, not being consistent, and not specifically making this about the hearts of human beings and the gospel.
52:23
So we went to Ireland. We have a documentary that is dropping tomorrow night, Wednesday night.
52:29
It is called Losing Ireland. It's gonna drop right here on Facebook Live. It'll be on YouTube as well.
52:35
Here's what I wanna ask you guys from the heart. Facebook has changed their algorithm, and so has
52:41
YouTube, to make it more and more difficult for ministries like us, Christians like us, to have content shared organically that grows and becomes viral all by itself.
52:52
They've changed the algorithm in such a way as to create more of a benefit and position of strength for major media organizations.
53:03
I think there's a lot of reasons as to why they've chosen to do that, but we need to work together as the church to allow gospel -centered grassroots movements like this one to actually get traction and legs on them.
53:15
And the only way it will happen, and this is the truth from the heart, is if you work together with us to get the message out.
53:24
This is a message the world needs to hear. The church must hear it. If we're ever gonna end abortion, we need to be the ones that speak consistently and proclaim the same message, and we need to get that message out into the culture.
53:37
God has given us a huge gift with all of this media. Will you join with us? Prayerfully, of course, financially when you can, but in this respect, will you join with us by watching the content, watch the documentary, and then share it with everybody that you know and love?
53:53
Would you do that with us? We'd be honored if you would. Thank you guys so much for watching. Next week with Jeff Durbin, truly appreciate it.
