Worldview Wars with Eric Hovid

Worldview Wars and the Stakes of Eternity

I can't see it. Okay, we're getting a lot of thumbs up. Some of you are just like, Eric, I don't know how to use the thumbs up, man. This new technology is killing me. Sorry about that. Here's what we say.

If you're confused, you're gonna lose. And it's worse than that, the people around you are gonna lose. But it doesn't have to be that way. You really can have answers. And you should because someone's eternity is at stake.

And guys, eternity is just too long to be wrong. And I, like Stacey and Joe, have a passion because I see all these kids, 57 million kids this last year, went through school, our public education system, 57 million of them, hearing again and being indoctrinated again with the theory, the idea, the religion is what I call it, of evolutionism.

This idea that there is no God, there are no absolutes, you can do whatever you want, you can behave however you want, it doesn't matter. Kids, when mom and dad tell you don't do something, all you gotta do is say, I believe in evolution.

There is no right and wrong. By the way, it may not work, depending on your household, okay? You may have to bend over and grab your toes. I had to grab my knees, thankfully not my toes. But that's another story.

I'm concerned about the kids in school today. Very, very concerned that they're being brought up with a worldview that is not true. It's not based on science. It's not based on fact. It's illogical and it's a huge, huge problem.

Creation Versus Evolution and the Questions of Life

So we've been growing up in the middle of a conflict, an incredible conflict in the world. For example, the whole creation versus evolution conflict. Which one is right, creation or evolution? Is the universe young or is the universe old?

We got this conflict going on. How many of you, thumbs up or wave your hand, if you've ever wondered or battled over that question at some point in your life, you've gone, I have wondered about that. How do we know the truth about the age of the, how old is it?

Is it young or old? Thumbs up if you've ever wondered about that. I got two thumbs up. Everybody else, the four thumbs up. Five, okay, some of you are wondering about that. Yeah, so how old is it? What about the whole God versus no God debate?

This worldview war over God or no God. How many of you have ever had that question and you wrestled with that in your life? Give me a thumbs up or wave the hand with the reactions. How many of you ever wondered about that?

Like, okay, God, are you really there or not? Hey, can I tell you what? Put your thumbs or stop clapping your hands for those of you that hand clap. How many of you have never in your life ever questioned God?

Give me a thumbs up or clap hands. You say, you know what, Eric? It's never been a question of my life. I just, I've always known. It's like, I got it. God, of course you exist. All right, I see one, one.

Okay, three, okay, four. How many of you don't like using the reaction button? If you could just click the little reaction button and let me know that you don't like using that, that would be, I'm just kidding.

You don't have to do that if you don't, I'm just joking. Sorry. So we're in the middle of this worldview war, who's right? And a lot of times it's presented as if, well, they got a lot of evidence and they got a lot of evidence.

And so how do I know who's right? I mean, let's face it. You can find an expert on every single subject in the world. You can find an expert that will back your opinion that cookies and milk every night is good for you, okay?

You can find experts to pretty much say whatever you want them to say. And a lot of times we feel like the referee in the middle of this tug of war and we're trying to figure out, it's like we're the judge trying to figure out, okay, who's right and who's wrong?

What's really going on there? And we hear questions like, hey, if God created the universe, well then hey, who created God? And we think these are good questions and there's a lot of Christians that think, oh man, that's a tough one.

It's actually not when you think about it, but they think that's a tough one. By the way, oh, can I just run an idea by you guys as just brainstorm idea? I thought of a conference I wanna do and I need a reaction.

So you either give me a thumbs up or a hand clap if you like it. If you don't like, Jeff, you're going, I like it. Yes, a conference. I haven't told you the idea yet. Stacy, put your thumb down. You don't even know what the conference is yet.

You have no clue what I'm about to say and you already are clapping your hands. Here's my idea. What if we did a conference, a webinar called Bad Answers or like Bad Christian Answers? Like we hear Christians give answers to arguments and it's like, just so you know, that's a really bad answer.

Like for example, here would be a bad answer, just example, and then you can tell me if you think this would be a good conference. Like, hey, Christians don't have to have evidence because we have faith.

That's a terrible answer if you are defining faith the way that you're describing it. Okay, so would a bad answers conference, would that be a good idea? Thumbs up or hand clap if it's a good idea. Okay, I got two of you, three of you, four of you, six of you.

I'm gonna call that the majority. Okay, seven of you. Oh man, all right, all right. Okay, I'm gonna do it, guys. You guys just cheered me on. I'm gonna do a conference called Bad Answers. Might shorten it to the, well, nevermind.

Answering Questions About Origins, Science, and the Bible

But we got all these questions. Hey, is there life in outer space? Well, see, I said, what about all the eight men? Are there really eight men? Was there really an ice age? Did God really create everything in just six days?

Hey, doesn't carbon dating disprove the Bible? What about all the races? Where did all the races come from? So we got all these questions and we're trying to go, okay, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

I've been raised believing God's word is true and I'm not sure, and I got all these questions and there's all this science. Guys, you really can have answers. And that's what creation today is all about.

We want you to know the answers are out there and we just wanna deliver them to you in the best way we possibly can. This, introduce real quick, my lovely wife, Tanya. We have been married for 20 years.

Next month, well, a month and a half away, it'll be 21 years. God has blessed us with three amazing children, Stephanie, Angie, and Jordan. My daughter, Stephanie, oh my goodness, just graduated. I just put this, by the way, if you didn't see the video on my Facebook page, she was the president of her senior class and she kind of won a lot of, she won, can I brag just a second?

This is like me just praising God, okay? She won the highest award that Pensacola Christian Academy gives out called the Founders Award. Anyway, I put her video, her graduation speech up on my Facebook page.

You will absolutely love it, okay? Just really, really cool. Look, the reason I do this, and I don't have time, but my other kids are really cool too, all right? We ride motorcycles. Actually, they all ride motorcycles together with me.

We have a good time. We do this because we wanna change people's worldview and we want to bring them to Christ. Look, there really is a God. There really is a creation and there really is a creator. The creator really is going to judge this world one day and you and I need to be ready for that judgment that's gonna be happening to us and to our friends in the future.

So not only do you need to understand and work out your salvation with fear and trembling, you need to share the gospel with others. And that's one of the reasons I'm so glad you guys are friends with Stacey because Stacey and Joe are just bold and loving in the way that they experience their faith and their relationship with Jesus Christ.

And they just enjoy sharing his truth and his love with a world that desperately needs it. She talked about the beginning series. It is a fun one. Now it's available online. You can go online and take the beginning series course at our website creationtoday .org.

The Atheist Agenda in Higher Education

Professor Richard Rorty was a philosophy professor. He passed away, but he was a professor in Virginia, University of Virginia. And he said this, and I think this really encapsulates or carries the message of why this is so important because he was an atheist and he got it.

He understood this. He said, secular professors in the universities ought to arrange things so that students who enter as bigoted, homophobic, religious fundamentalists will leave college with views more like our own.

He said, students are fortunate to find themselves under the benevolence or the love of people like me and to have escaped the grip of their frightening, vicious, dangerous parents. He went on, he said, we're gonna go right on trying to discredit you, talking to the parents, in the eyes of your children, trying to strip your fundamentalist religious community of dignity, trying to make your views seem silly rather than discussable.

And that's exactly what they're doing. Our kids are going off to university and getting absolutely slaughtered by professors with mindsets like this that would say the Bible is a crutch for the weak. Religion is the opiate.

It's a drug for people that can't handle life. There are professors that will take the word of God, take it to the front of their classroom on day number one of class, throw it on the ground and kick it across the room and say, if that bothers you, you might not wanna be part of my class because it's not gonna get any better.

And there is a war going on of worldviews, who's right and who's wrong, and they can't both be right. In life, there are four basic questions that man's gonna try to answer. Matter of fact, write these down.

You're gonna wanna take notes on this because this is what life is all about. You're gonna be trying to figure out what life is all about, and it's about these four questions and the answers to these four questions, okay?

How you answer these four questions, I'm gonna give them to you, okay? How you answer them determines how you live the rest of your life. Write these down. Here they are. This is free. You get them for free.

One time only, right here, I'm telling you, your whole life is gonna be involved, is gonna involve answering these four basic fundamental questions.

Here they are.

Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going? Why am I here? And where am I going when I die? Your entire life is gonna be wrapped up in answering and living out your answer to these four basic questions.

Who am I? Where did I come from? Why am I here? And where am I going when I die? And the way you answer those questions depends on what we call your worldview. That's why this is called Worldview Wars.

The Creation Worldview and the Meaning of Human Life

We're in the middle of a Worldview War because how you view the world will determine how you answer these questions. If you believe in the evolution worldview, if you believe, hey, it's amazing, a Big Bang made the world from absolutely nothing, zero, nada, this is all we got, and so you come up with this evolutionary humanist worldview for how man got here and how all of life evolved.

If you believe that, how would you answer the four basic questions of life? Like, who am I? Well, if evolution is true, you're just a little bit of protoplasm that washed up on the beach. That's all you are.

You're as Krauss, Lawrence Krauss said, you're just a little bit of stardust. That's all you are. You are the result of a star that exploded and now it's molecules that made up you. You're just stardust.

That's what they claim. You're nothing more than a few elements, a couple of dollars worth of elements is what you're made out of. What about where did I come from? If evolution is true, you came from the cosmic belch 20 billion years ago.

13 .8 billion is what they're saying now, but it's ranged everywhere from 13 to 20 billion years. But they say there was a big bang, this big burp that the cosmos just happened, okay? And for no rhyme or reason either, why am I here?

If you believe in the evolution worldview, why do you exist? Let's face it, if the evolution worldview is true, you're just an accident and there's no purpose to life. And that means there's really no truth either.

And if there's no truth, then there's no hope. I wanna tell you something, you can know truth. And if you know truth, you can know hope. But if you have no truth, you will never have hope if you don't have the truth.

Where am I going when I die? According to the evolution worldview, you're not going anywhere. You're going down into the ground, you're gonna get recycled into a worm or a plant or something like that, but you're really not going anywhere when you die.

That's the end. But suppose instead of an evolution worldview, suppose we had a creation worldview. Suppose we believed in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth and this world is incredibly designed and God's an amazing designer.

If we believe this, wouldn't we look at this world a whole lot differently? Wouldn't we answer those basic questions a whole lot differently? As a creationist, I look at, I view, I interpret everything I see so differently than the people that don't have a creation worldview.

It's just a whole lot different. Here's the two views on a timeline, just so you know what we're talking about. The creationist worldview says about 6 ,000 years ago, God created the heavens and the earth.

Now we don't put an exact date or anything like that on this thing. We don't say that Adam was made October 23rd, 4 ,004 BC at two o 'clock in the afternoon. Some people have done that, but we don't do that.

We just say that Adam was made in the afternoon because it was just before Eve. And that's the only clue we've got in scripture about that one, okay? Adam was made in the afternoon. 4 ,400 years ago, there was a flood that destroyed the world.

2 ,000 years ago is when Jesus Christ was here. And now here we are today waiting for the return of Christ. Now, if you compare that to what an evolutionist believe, it's really different. The evolution worldview says somewhere between 13 and 20 billion years ago, there was that big bang.

4 .6 billion years ago, the earth cooled down and it formed a hard, rocky crust. Then it rained on the rocks for billions of years. Eventually, 3 million years ago is when, or excuse me, 3 billion years ago is when life evolved on the planet.

And then 3 million years ago is when mankind evolved on the planet. So that's the basic evolution worldview versus the creation worldview. By the way, modern history, recorded history only goes back about 5 ,000 to 6 ,000 years.

Even with the Egyptians, they've discovered, and there's a great movie on this called Patterns of Evidence, The Exodus, where it shows that Egyptian chronology actually doesn't even go back past the 6 ,000 years.

And when Jesus was asked, I get told this all the time, hey, Eric, instead of focusing on creation, why are you focusing on this? Instead, you need to focus on what Jesus, on Jesus and on salvation and what Jesus focused on.

And I say, you know what? You're right. We should focus on Jesus. And if we focus on Jesus, guess what, guys? We'll end up focusing on Genesis. If you focus on Jesus, you will focus on Genesis. Genesis, when he was being, excuse me, Jesus, that when he was being questioned by the Pharisees, they're trying to trap him and trick him and they ask him about marriage and where does he go to give the very foundation of marriage?

He says, have you not written that he which made them at the beginning, made them male and female? It's this reason that a man is gonna leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife and the two shall be one flesh.

The very concept of marriage itself is given to us in Genesis. You don't get marriage in an evolution worldview. No wonder they're making, they're passing laws that they're passing today, saying marriage can be whatever you want it to be.

Marriage can be anything.

Anyway, I just zoomed in. I zoomed in on a meeting with Eric Hobine. He's talking about marriage right now.

I sure am.

But anyway, you get some sleep. I understand from creation.

Thanks. Okay, so marriage is the, Genesis is the very foundation of marriage itself. You don't get that without Genesis. You don't get that without in the beginning, God creating the heavens and the earth.

All you get is a man's idea. So the laws that they're passing today, no wonder. We've got an entire education system that is indoctrinating kids away from the word of God. It's teaching them a worldview that has no foundation for marriage.

So they're growing up and they're going, I wanna redefine marriage and there's no reason to stop them. Why not? Why can't they say a girl and a girl, a guy and a guy? Why can't they say two girls and two guys?

Why can't they say a dog and a guy? Why can't they? It does, I'm just telling you, when you get rid of the foundation, you get rid of the ability to say, this is why, this is what is true, this is the truth.

Because we've slowly been moving away from the idea that God's word is true. And when we go with man's word is true, it can be whatever we want it to be. The Bible says that because of death, sin came into the world.

That's why there's death in the world today. We can make sense of this. The Bible tells us why there's death in the world and it's because of S-I-N, it's because of sin. Can evolution make sense of death?

Matter of fact, if evolution is true, how come we haven't evolved the ability not to die? I mean, evolution has created all these amazing things. It's created your body with over a trillion cells and each cell in your body is more complex than the entire space shuttle.

So, I mean, why hasn't it evolved the ability not to die? We did a movie called, a film called the Genesis movie. And in it, Dr. David Minton, he says, if you had a car that every time it got scratched, it fixed itself and then it got a wreck, it just healed itself, how long would that car last?

He said, it would last forever. And scientists looking at our body, they say it gets scratched and they see it heal itself. And they're looking at it, what looks like something that was designed to last forever, but something went wrong.

And the Bible answers that. The Bible says that something was sin. And now we have death in the world because of sin. One more, the Bible says that when they sinned, they saw their nakedness and they were ashamed.

And so God made them coats of skin and he clothed them. I noticed those of you that turned your videos on, you were wearing clothes. Thank you for that. Let me ask you something.

Why?

Why wear clothes? I mean, does this make any sense in an evolutionary worldview? If you're nothing more than an animal, does this really make sense? People say, oh yeah, because it gets cold. I'm in Florida.

It ain't cold over here, guys. It's feeling good. No, you don't wear clothes just because it gets cold. It's because you're ashamed. It's something we discovered back in Genesis. Genesis is the foundational book to every single issue we face today.

Every issue we face today. It comes about from this conflict of worldview wars discovered in Genesis. Richard Bozarth, I'm gonna share my screen on this because I really want you guys to see this. I want you to make sure you get this.

This is another atheist. And I want you to realize what he says right here. Oh, nevermind. You disabled screening. Okay, all right. Well, you'll just have to look closely here. Here we go. Richard Bozarth, an atheist.

He said, Christianity has fought, still fights, and will continue to fight science to the desperate end over evolution. Does science support evolution or does it deny evolution? Because, here's why, evolution destroys utterly and finally the very reason Jesus's earthly life was supposedly made necessary.

He goes on, he says, oh, gotta go back here.

Sorry, just a second.

He said, destroy Adam and Eve and the original sin and in the rubble you will find the sorry remains of the Son of God. If Jesus was not, listen to this, listen to this, and this is from an atheist. This is from an atheist.

This is what he says. If Jesus was not the Redeemer who died for our sins and this is what evolution means, then Christianity is nothing. And you know what? He's exactly right. Richard is exactly right.

As an atheist, he is exactly right. This issue is a worldview war and we are in a fight to the desperate end over this whole evolution worldview. The Bible is correct. Genesis is actually true. There is evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

I love talking about the resurrection of Christ. My friend Tim Chafee and I did an entire small group series on the resurrection of Christ. We talk about why Jesus needed to die and where it was really founded.

To set things straight, let me just help you understand something, why I focus on Genesis. Adam's sin brought death into the world. The last Adam, Jesus, died to bring life into the world. Jesus conquered death by rising from the dead.

So if there wasn't a literal Adam, as spoken of in Genesis, who brought literal death, then what would the crucifixion and resurrection have to do with our sin? Now, I get it, I get it, I get it. You can be a Christian and there are Christians who do not accept what Genesis chapter ones, two, three, really all the way up to 11 teach as real history.

Now, Jesus taught it as real history. Jesus referred to it as real history, but they disagree with Jesus and they say it wasn't real history. Okay, I get it. The age of the earth is not essential to salvation.

It's not. It is not essential to salvation. However, it is essential to the very doctrine of salvation. I'm gonna say that again for the guys, because guys have to hear things twice. Guys have to hear things twice.

That was for you, Jeff. The age of the earth is not essential for salvation. It is essential to the doctrine of salvation. Why did Christ die? Guys, we are in a battle of worldviews right now. We are in a worldview war.

It's taking place in the heart and in the mind of every single person on the planet who has the right worldview. And the consequences of what you believe are eternal. This is a very serious battle that we're in, a battle for people's souls.

Humanism, Christianity, and the Purpose of Life

We're in a worldview war. So the question is, what are you gonna do while you live? What am I gonna do while I'm alive? What is it that I'm gonna focus on while God has me here? If we believe in humanism, if we believe in the evolutionary worldview, the humanistic worldview, humanism teaches something.

It says the end of all being is the happiness of man. In other words, the reason you exist is just to be happy. So go do whatever it takes to be happy. And if that is your philosophy, if you swallow that idea, which is being taught in all the schools today, it's made its way in the many churches of today.

The end of all being is the happiness of man. Humanism, if it's really just about your happiness, then you'll do whatever you can do to bring about what you think is going to be happiness. And if that involves an extra woman, an extra man, if that involves things you look at that you shouldn't look at, if that involves putting something in your body that you shouldn't put in your body, it doesn't matter.

Because at the end of the day, you're just trying to be happy. The end of all being is the happiness of man. But if we believe this world isn't incredibly designed, there is a creator that created everything, then we can understand what Christianity teaches.

Christianity says you were created for one reason. The end of all being, the reason you exist, is to glorify God. It's to live for Him. It's for you to choose, I'm going to love the one who made me, the one who gave his life for me, and say, God, I choose to live for you.

Your worldview makes all the difference in how you live your life. Now, there are many people that adopt a creation worldview, say, I believe in God, but they're living a humanist life. They're living for their own pleasure, they're living for their own desires rather than for God's desires.

They don't have the fruit of the spirit, they have the fruit of the flesh. They don't have love, joy, peace, they have envying and strife and division. And I just want to share with you, it's one thing to say, I believe in this, it's another thing to live it out.

Hey, where are you at in your own mind in this war of worldviews? Where are you at when it comes to the whole worldview war?

I want to, thought I had, I don't have it in here.

Oh, well. I am confident that most of the problems we see today, I know some of you can't see this, but most of the problems we have today all stem from the root of evolution. Whether it's abortion, humanism, racism, the euthanasia, communism, the drug culture, pornography, all these things stem from an evolution worldview.

Saying that you're just an animal, there's no reason for existence, you can do whatever you want to. Hey guys, I'm telling you, the evolution worldview is not true. We need to destroy it because the fruits of the evolution worldview are not healthy.

They don't help yourself, they don't help society, they don't help the church, they don't help anything in our world. The fruit of the true Christianity, the creation worldview, that's where we get the idea of love and meaning and purpose.

I'm telling you, we need to be spending our time and energy where it really matters. We're in a war of worldviews. And there are people, there are friends that you know, there are family members that you know that need the truth.

Man, I hope that you will be about the father's business, sharing his truth, the truth about the history of the world and the truth about the savior of the world with the people around you. Guys, we're in a battle of worldviews.

They can't both be right. They can't all be right. Only one can be right. There's only one right answer to two plus two, and it's four. And it's not prideful to say that, it's not arrogant to say that, it's true to say that.

Every other answer is by default wrong. Hey guys, there's only one answer to where the world came from. And the truth is it came from Jesus Christ himself. The word made flesh, the word that was there at the beginning, that created, that spoke the heavens and the earth into existence.

And every other answer is wrong. People can believe it, but that doesn't make it right. Two plus two equals four. God created the heavens and the earth, and he made you for a reason, to glorify him. Let's be about our father's business and do what it takes in our lives to bring him glory.

Questions About Parenting, Rebellion, and Grandchildren

I wanna take a minute and find out if you guys have any questions. I know I just kind of went off there on you guys talking about this whole worldview war that we're in. I wanna find out what you guys are thinking and if you have any questions.

So feel free to unmute your mic, unmute your video, and let's just have a conversation here. What are you guys thinking?

Or don't do that. I have a question.

Okay, good.

Hi, how do you, I'm struggling really with, I'm gonna cry too, cause I raised my kids in church and I've been married to my husband for 37 years and he's never like totally surrendered, but my kids, they were all raised in church.

I became a believer at like when my oldest was four and she's 37 now or 39, I think. I don't know, I lose track of time, but just the rebellion and it's like they all, and then I have seven grandkids.

And so now in this time off as well, I'm seeing

Joyce, can you please let everyone show their face now?

Oops, sorry.

The rebellion I'm seeing. And what would you say to like to break through? I know it's prayer and all that, and I've been doing that, but I feel sometimes will it ever change, with the adult children?

And then I see it trickling down to my grandchildren of not wanting like, the Lord is so good and all that he gives us and all this teaching and wonderful in his word. And I just, I get so excited and I wake up with worship and I wake up with all this, but I'm seeing now that my grandkids, they don't want it.

Like I have to pull like their teeth even kind of want it and it breaks my heart. So I don't know, I guess it's, I'm saying rebellion. Is there something else that you might know that it's

And is your name Heidi? I see Heidi on the screen.

It is, yes.

Well, first of all, wow, my heart goes out to you. I have not yet in my life had to experience that except through friends and their children. So I've been separated at a distance just a little bit. I've had very good friends of my own that have gone down that road and rebelled.

So I've had it there, but never as a parent to a child. And so man, first of all, my heart just, my heart hurts with your hurt. And that is probably one of the biggest pains a parent can feel right there is the pain of a child saying, I'll do it my way.

So first of all, I wanna pray here in just a second. I wanna start there with that, but I'll tell you what I have prayed in the past. And I'll let you take this and do what you want with it. I won't pray this when I pray.

My prayer is God, bring them to the end of themselves quickly. Do whatever it takes for them to hit the brick wall quickly so they can have time to pick up the pieces or give the pieces to you and say, God, take what's left of me.

Because what Satan wants to do is he just wants to drag it out. He wants it to go as far as it can, make them think they are okay. They are good to go. They got it made. And it's so interesting in the culture of the West, we think of pain and suffering as a reason to run from God.

You go to the East and the thinking over there is pain and suffering drives you to God. I think C .S. Lewis said it very clear. God screams at us in our pain. And so it's hard for me to, and I've done it a few times though to pray, God, bring them to the end very quickly.

I got somebody in my mind right now who I've prayed that for. And the goal being not to be mean, but the most loving thing I can do is say, please wake up. Please understand what life is all about. I'll tell you this, and Stacey can verify this.

We have watched simple materials about creation evolution. Because start with the science and show how the science shows that God's word is true. Well, what does that mean? That means you're gonna be held accountable.

What?

I'm gonna be held accountable. And so we've watched the information about science, bring people to scripture and bring them from the scripture to the savior. And so I would certainly be trying to invest.

How old are your grandchildren?

The oldest is 17. And then 16 and 12, 11, 10, and then six and gonna be in four. So, but they do love the Lord. They pray for their parents. It's just powerful. God is good. And I'm praying that that generation, it just, it breaks my heart.

I didn't know if there was something. And I just bought the whole set of homeschool from creation. I'm so excited. And I got the pack. So I'm, you know, hoping that.

Heidi, thank you so much, hon.

Grand Canyon Evidence, Classes, and SearchCreation.org

We're gonna see if anyone.

No, that's okay.

I understand. We're gonna see if anyone else has a question, but how about we raise hands or wave, and then we could see that. Would we be able to see that? Or if anyone, I don't know.

I pretty much have tried to get everybody to put on our video, except for me, but in those that didn't have video, but if you can keep yourself muted, unless you're asking the question, because the background noise interferes with the people talking.

Yeah. So let me, yeah. So you could ask your question, but if you want, have a question, can you put it in the comment section? Or just say, I have a question, and then I'll call your name. Because I would love for you guys to ask questions.

And while we're waiting for you guys to put your question in the comment section, I was gonna ask, someone wanted me to ask Eric about, we're gonna have Steve Austin next week, and we wanted you to share some wonderful evidence that we have regarding the Grand Canyon, to get people hyped up to come back next week.

I love the Grand Canyon. Absolutely love it. Stacey and I have gone to the Grand Canyon together with others, and it is an amazing, an amazing trip. Dr. Steve Austin is an expert on that. I'm gonna be going to Mount St. Helens with him in August.
