00:00: Awesome. All right, Robin. Are you ready? I am in the go live. So bill. This is your time to share a joke
00:10: Okay, I'm gonna share a screen first, okay, okay Wait, I don't know if I've given you permission.
00:17: Let me know. Sure. I don't have permission
00:24: You now have permission See Okay, do you guys see that?
00:36: Yes Okay Just real quickly up here in Garden Grove.
00:41: We have a meeting the first Saturday of every month But it's a creation lesson and creation tells us something.
00:48: I hope everybody knows every day You are important. You are loved by God Creation speaks about that and one way that he shows his love is by his great creation of the dog
01:04: Man's best friend. Okay before you get started we are live now So let me go ahead and do a little introduction
01:11: Just so that everybody knows who we are and who you are. Does that work out? Okay.
01:16: Yes Okay, so I'm Terry cameras all here with creation fellowship Santee We're a group of friends bound by our common agreement that the creation account as told in Genesis is a true
01:28: Depiction of how God created the universe and all life from nothing in just six days a few thousand years ago
01:35: We've been meeting most Thursday nights here on zoom since June of 2020 In fact, our first speaker is here with us tonight
01:43: We've been blessed with presentations by pastors teachers doctors cartoonists scientists apologists and all -around smarty -pants
01:51: People who love the Lord and have a message to share You can find most of our past videos by searching creation fellowship
01:58: Santee. That's Santee on YouTube follow us on our creation fellowship

02:17: Bill Morgan back He's our friend from here in Southern, California And he was our first speaker on our zoom
02:24: Fellowships and he also came back a few weeks ago to talk to us about the amazing
02:30: Design features of the dog and that was could you build a dog part one?
02:35: So tonight he's here to share even more features about how the design of the dog points to our creative God.
02:43: So Bill has been a mechanical engineer for 37 years his work included design work on Nuclear submarines.
02:51: He was raised going to church But became an atheist when his biology teacher told him that we were descendants of ape men
02:59: He truly thought Christians were anti science morons sadly Science led him back to Christ He is debated over 40 atheists and he goes street witnessing three to four times a week telling lost sheep about truth
03:13: Love peace and eternal life and hope I missed that part. That's important His YouTube channel can be found by searching
03:23: Bill Morgan channel And you can call him if you'd like to talk to him at 7 1 4 8 9 8 8 3 3 1
03:31: So with that, we're happy to turn it over to you again, Bill Right. Well, it's an honor and a blessing to have this time with you and my goal is for God to be glorified and For you to learn more about dogs and to perhaps to use them to evangelize
03:50: And I will start with my joke and I'll give you an evangelism tip a few years ago on Mars The head
03:59: Martian went to one of his employees and said I'm gonna send you to earth And I want you to study life on earth
04:07: Study it extensively and come on back and report So his employee flew to earth and was very secret nobody saw him, but he spied and He observed many things
04:21: He observed people with dogs people feeding dogs People picking up dog do people grooming dogs and he returned and said sir.
04:31: It's a planet run by dogs Dogs are the kings and they have these two -legged servants called people that do everything for them
04:41: And that was his report and it's hard to contradict it. Amen Anyways, we love taking care of our dogs
04:50: Little dog witnessing tip About two weeks ago. I was speaking at a church and a woman was walking her dog
04:58: And before I get to the tip a little review from part one Every hair follicle on a dog
05:08: Has its own muscle Oil gland and two blood vessels a supply and a return.
05:17: I Calculated in my dog that she has about 14 million hairs and a hair follicle could have more than one hair
05:25: But so my dog has approximately 14 million tiny muscles oil glands and 28 million little blood vessels
05:34: Just for her hair How in the world could an atheist even try to begin to explain that what a beautiful design by a beautiful God So this lady was walking her dog and I said, could
05:47: I tell you an interesting fact about your dog? And she said sure I Said every hair on your dog has its own muscle.
05:56: Every hair follicle has its own muscle And I said your dog probably has about 20 million
06:03: She was amazed by that and I said wow, isn't God great and then
06:08: I asked her my favorite witnessing question and If you remember only one thing from this lesson, this would not be a bad thing to remember the best witnessing question to ask someone is
06:22: Can I ask you a question People will always say yes, it seems Then here's the great witnessing question.
06:30: I Asked this lady What do you think will happen to you after you die and I ask it with respect and kindness it's a great question for family friends and strangers and She says
06:46: I don't know but I think about it all the time To summarize
06:52: I shared with her. What does the Bible teach on who goes to heaven? She had no idea.
07:02: I And we're only forgiven if Jesus is our Lord that means our boss we need to do our best to treat
07:11: Jesus as our boss and I asked her would you like to pray right now to be forgiven and have
07:17: Jesus's boss and she said yes, and we prayed And I encouraged her you have to read your
07:23: Bible Try to read it every day so that we have a good relationship and knowledge of the boss
07:31: So the dog hair is a good little introduction to talking about the greatness to God and the need for him and Once again asking people politely
07:42: What do you think will happen to you after you die? opens up a great potential witness
07:50: Any comments or questions on that? Okay, we'll proceed
08:03: Dogs Why do we love them so much? There is a reason
08:10: Question to the group If you have a dog or if you had a dog in the past What are some of the reasons why you love them?
08:21: They give you unconditional love good answer and what else what are the reasons?
08:30: Because they're cute and funny to watch sometimes Yes, very good.
08:36: Very good. Any more answers? If they bring the best out of you, I believe That's a very good answer
08:46: Every time I Read something in the Bible about how
08:52: I think the Lord wants us to be When I had a dog, it was like he was the best example
08:58: I had of that kind of behavior Yeah Last month, we showed that dogs have all the fruits of the spirit
09:06: Love joy, peace kindness long suffering self -control They really are a good example
09:13: Anyone else want to add? They're loyal Very loyal Last month we talked they see you as part of their pack
09:26: If you are in their pack, they will kill for you And it's a good thing to do to have the dog and you in the same pack
09:35: Anything else But one of you touched on my first set of slides
09:42: And I love doing these lessons because it forces me to research things And I look at my dog differently every day because of this next set of slides
09:53: One reason that humans love dogs, oh and I told my kids this when they saw this picture
09:59: I said i'll never get a tattoo But if I do I might get this on my back.
10:05: Wouldn't it be a great tattoo on your back? A dog I'm not going to get it. Well, isn't that an emotional support dog that you've told just a few many secrets to Well, i'm going to quiz you
10:20: My slides are available if anybody wants them and the kids love this next set of slides
10:26: Well, one reason humans love dogs is they have the ability to make human expressions
10:34: If you have a pet bird or a pet snake That's wonderful But one nice thing about our dogs is they make human expressions and I look at my dog differently every day now
10:45: Because I see all the millions of expressions that they can make and I love it And the expressions can touch our hearts.
10:53: Can it not? Look at don't you have compassion for that dog? So we're going to play a game and everybody can participate
11:03: We're going to play the game of why does that dog have that expression ready Let's do it.
11:12: Why does this dog have this expression? Is it fear food or fun shout out your answer shock fear
11:26: Food Anyone else food here food Food Fun fun, it looks like he just swallowed something toxic
11:38: It's food I could tell and maverick had that look on his face food food food
11:44: Yeah, but when I scolded frodo and sonia because I was trying to figure out who did what? They had that kind of look like, huh?
11:51: Not me Amen That's the look of sin is it not the dog knows what to do
11:58: But it's so tempting. Amen I love it.
12:03: He is pondering his short -term versus long -term future, which sin does for us as well
12:11: Okay What is this dog saying? I'm mad and i'm ready to fight i'm ready to play
12:16: Or what in the world is that? I'm ready to play Play play I say play
12:27: No, that's what in the world is that Uh, i'm ready to fight the cat is abusing it that cat better get out of there soon or else it's gonna be in some trouble
12:40: But what a beautiful expression. Amen i'm scared
12:46: I'm going to attack or i'm playing play Play i'm going with play again
12:55: I'm playing playing But once again, look at that expression
13:01: Doesn't it really touch our hearts? There are many faces they can make And there's design behind that we're going to talk about the design fear
13:17: Anyone else yeah, I'd say fear.
13:23: Oh Oh That nice human is sticking a deer face right in it, so that's fear
13:35: Look at those expressions. What's that? What's that expression telling you guys? Stop it. Stop it Stop it
13:46: But maybe in the future when you look at your dogs and remember this lesson and say it's true They can make so many expressions that touch our hearts as humans
14:00: I could die Yeah, I could die I agree with that one Anything else it's an attack
14:11: He is an attack against that little dog but I would like to give glory to god for designing the dog to communicate through his expressions
14:25: How else did god design dogs to communicate to us? Anybody Tail wagging
14:35: You got it. Very good The north end is the face the south end is the tail wagging
14:42: Absolutely dogs communicate to us through tail wagging Now there's many different things and you've probably seen it the speed of the wag
14:53: The pattern of movement And how big the tail wag is amen
14:59: Does anybody care to share a little bit about dog tail wagging that you've seen in the past?
15:08: Well, when when a dog is really happy the tail goes really fast back and forth That's been my experience, but my grand dog was a husky
15:19: Sometimes their tail gives them away like Like if you're trying like i've our puppy will sometimes pretend like he's not caring
15:29: And then as we get closer, like he's just frozen and like waiting but his tail starts going so, you know that Have you ever noticed they weld it wag your tail like am
15:41: I okay am I in trouble I hope i'm on your good side, but god designed them to do that as well
15:50: Okay If any of you want I can email you this it's a fun little quiz.
15:56: I got it off the internet of the different positions of dog tails Does anybody want to comment on any of them
16:07: Number three, I think is the easiest When it's down between their legs
16:14: Yeah, it's the mission here. Exactly. Exactly Go ahead.
16:20: Anybody can comment on any letter you want Well, I think number one
16:34: Means he's the top dog, but I don't see that as a choice Okay, very happy usually or They're they're um
16:46: They're secure. They're feeling good Okay and again, if you want me to email it
16:52: I can and you can take the quiz, but According to the website that I saw And there it is how to interpret your dog tail legs
17:03: He's on the alert The second one is like he's checking you out. He's not too sure
17:10: And I never knew this but according to this website, sometimes they wag it in only one direction I have never noticed that but that's what they said
17:18: All right, so dogs communicate to us many ways and Since they're called man's best friend
17:26: We communicate with our friends, right? Okay, I need a volunteer who would like to volunteer?
17:41: What do you have to do? You have to go
17:46: And analyze these dogs Okay, what are the expressions that these dogs are conveying?
17:56: and What part of their body is doing a lot of the communicating Well a is like hey, what are you doing?
18:05: I see you And then b is I didn't really eat that roll of toilet paper and And three is like hey come back
18:16: Yeah, look how wet he is too like he had a lot of fun Now their ears communicate to us as well right
18:26: Alert sad Incredible how god I think has designed dogs to communicate to people so We'll talk about ear design in a little bit, but ears communicate amen
18:39: Anybody care to share about that? He looks sick
18:46: I think he's at the veterinarian and scared to death. You see the leash Ah And last week we spoke about pheromones
18:56: Where the dog can sense fear or panic And they sense that and they don't like the vet because of their pheromone sensing
19:07: But they're there to help you dog, okay, it was funny ears back can mean complete affection or big fear
19:15: But by the rest of their face we can see what they're communicating to us trivia time at the airport
19:27: And this is documented Do the security people prefer to use dogs with pointed ears or floppy ears?
19:36: I guess Okay, we got a vote for floppy
19:42: Anything any other votes? pointed I'm thinking pointed because they could stand up.
19:50: It's easier to Read their ears if they're pointy Okay It's all good guesses anything else anyone else pointed
20:00: I think pointed because german shepherds are used a lot Well, the answer is they try to get floppy ear dogs
20:10: Because they're less scary to children Which dog do you feel a little bit more comfortable around that floppy eared one or the other one
20:21: And they're both very skilled at their jobs, but they're going towards the floppy ear because kids flip out with the
20:28: Pointed ear dogs. Well last is cuter
20:35: That's This next set of slides. It's just marvelous glory to god
20:42: And we can be comforted that creation confirms that there is an amazing god How many different muscle groups are designed just to control the dog's ear and by groups, it's like sets of muscles and if It's confusing
20:59: I apologize but How many would you say 10
21:09: I'm gonna take a deep breath because i'm just so humbled by this When I came across these slides
21:16: We have layers of muscles almost like pancakes there's so many muscles packed in We'll just talk about the dog here.
21:24: This is only one layer of muscles of the dog And there's 10 different sets of muscles
21:31: For the dog to move the ear Can you guys see that fairly clearly on your screen?
21:40: Yes Now suppose the theory of evolution were true which muscle evolved first Which muscle evolved second
21:54: Did the muscles or the nerves evolved first What about the circulatory system
22:01: How long would those muscles last without a circulatory system? How did the blood tie into the muscle
22:10: There's a million questions that just show the foolishness of time and chance Any comments
22:21: I have a comment. It's hard to answer that question when you say say if evolution was true which one would have evolved first because it's so Obvious the irreducible complexity that that it couldn't have happened that way
22:37: Yes, absolutely No possible chance you don't have to be a genius All you need to do is have an iq about 30
22:46: To recognize that's a beautiful design But a lot of people deny it because they're either emotionally mad at god
22:55: They don't want to listen to god Or they've been simply brainwashed into thinking.
23:00: It's a ridiculous belief But an open -minded person with no bias would see that as a design
23:07: Now how many people in this group would admit that you couldn't even draw this picture
23:12: There's no way
23:18: I can draw that. No way I couldn't But we couldn't even draw it what did god do
23:32: He made it and formed it I love this little tidbit
23:39: Every design What's the very first thing that comes up before something's actually a design
23:47: I thought the thought the thought I love your answer god thought of all these muscles
23:56: Then he designed it and then he built it What a great god he all of these muscles that we see was in the mind of our great god
24:08: Any comments on that? I would love to hear comments on god had to have the idea for these muscles before he could design it
24:15: It makes me think of the three of 3d puzzles Like almost like lego projects, but but they make like 3d puzzles not just jigsaw flat puzzles
24:27: But three three -dimensional puzzles and so like you asked if we could if we can draw it
24:33: We can't even draw it let alone like them to make a puzzle of it, but he made it 3d
24:39: Mm -hmm. Amen And that little dog started out as a fertilized egg one cell
24:48: With the information to make every muscle that you see in this picture Information cannot arise by chance.
24:57: There has to be a brain an information source Is god glorified with ear muscles on dogs amen
25:12: Humans could we design this and build this No, couldn't even really build the picture make the picture.
25:21: No So just a little ear muscles on dogs destroys atheism and the theory of evolution
25:29: Look at that. That beautiful dog Anybody know the breed
25:36: Why mariner why mariner? Yeah, we used to have one what a high energy beautiful dog
25:44: But just studying every part of your dog glorifies god and if you have any pet
25:49: I encourage you to just study it. Just look at it with no radio. No tv on Just focus on any part of your pet
25:57: And god had to think about it before he could design it and then build it He is worthy of glory in our pets
26:05: Who would like to read that verse go? I nominate rachel
26:13: Thank you. Rachel Okay Lord, you are my god. I will exalt you and praise your name for in perfect faithfulness
26:21: You have done wonderful things things planned long ago. Isaiah 25 one
26:29: Is anybody else is blown away by the thought that god had to think it before he could design it?
26:34: Does anybody want to share a thought or two on that? Well, it's even more impressive when you think of how quickly it happened
26:45: I mean, I guess we don't know how long he was thinking of it before he made it
26:50: But we know how quickly he made it Like just to get the veins in the back of your hand
26:56: God had to think of the diameter the wall material the direction the support
27:04: That may have been the funnest part about it Don't you just ever just sit and think about things that you would like to build or design
27:13: I do I love my job as an engineer.
27:18: It is so much fun to try to come up with the best way I'm an engineer Oh great
27:25: Great which person is Robin Nice, isn't it a delight when it works?
27:36: Um, yeah And when it doesn't work we find someone else to blame amen exactly
27:47: Another volunteer needed, uh, terry, could you pick another volunteer? I choose june this time.
27:53: Thank you For volunteering. Okay, this is this is a repeat from last week, but I think it bears repeating
28:00: Suppose you were placed in charge of an important project You could hire everybody 8 billion people working on your project unlimited funding june
28:14: Every laboratory is going to work for you. Could you and every person on the earth?
28:21: Design and build a living dog No way, I can build a robot dog though Well, I have a view that we would like to think we could
28:32: But um, we would fail if we tried because first of all you have to think of How you're going to design the ear?
28:42: And there would be the failure right there after listening to you Amen We can't even design one atom.
28:51: How are we going to design a dog, right? But isn't it tragic that our schools only teach time nature and chance
29:01: And so many millions of innocent students believe their teacher and they go on to their next class
29:08: Absolute disaster and travesty Well, you know robbing god of his glory and robbing kids of hope peace and joy
29:18: God doesn't make things God makes systems Now i'm not picking on the term irreducible complexity
29:25: But to me, that simply means a system. Like your laptop is a system.
29:33: It's got keys, it's got wires, it's got a screen. What is the most important part of a laptop?
29:40: And it's a trick question. They're all important, correct?
29:46: And it works. I ask my son, I go, what on our dog did
29:52: God design that it doesn't need? Does it need the fur, the eyes, the ears, the mouth, the muscles, everything.
30:03: So a system is a bunch of components that all work together to keep us alive. Dogs are a system.
30:12: And June, what does your last name begin with? M. You have to design, hey, the muscles, what a coincidence.
30:21: If we gave you a break, you don't have to design the whole dog, just design the muscles. Think you could do it?
30:27: No, because I would need something to feed the muscles, like blood, and I would need an oxygen system in order to give them, put oxygen in the blood to feed the muscle.
30:41: They would take all kinds of systems to make them work. Yep, you'd have to work with all the other departments to make it work.
30:49: Yep. And sadly, once again, our schools are teaching time, nature, and chance made the dog.
30:56: When, pardon me? I said, that's sad. That they would do that. It is, it's ruining kids' lives.
31:04: Ruining our country. Because I meet these kids, I go witnessing, and they're miserable.
31:11: And not to digress, sometimes I'll ask somebody, I'll ask you guys, and you can answer if you want.
31:18: How do you deal with the pain? Pain of what?
31:25: Life, the pains that life gives. Say the emotional pain, the stress, the worry, the fears.
31:34: Cry. Pray. Pray, prayer, yeah. Ask a typical teenager that question, and they say, oh,
31:44: I play music, I hang out with friends, I just suffer a little bit.
31:51: These poor kids don't have the God option where we can rely on God to help us to get through the pain.
31:59: As we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, right? But these guys are all on their own and just lost.
32:07: They need God, and they're not being presented the God option. Tribute time.
32:16: On which day of creation did God make dogs? Five. Day six.
32:24: Six. Land animal. Land animal. Land animal. Yep, answer is day six.
32:32: Science class. Hey class, how do you think dogs originated?
32:39: Well, Ken Ham Jr. is in this class. Does Ken Ham have kids? Do you guys know?
32:46: Yes, in fact, one of them is married to Bodie Hodge. Wow, okay,
32:52: I never knew that. One of his daughters. Yeah, he has a bunch of grandkids too. Oh, good, good, good.
32:59: You know, I get his newsletter, I've never really noticed. So anyways, this lady asked, how do you think dogs originated?
33:06: One student says, oh, I think God designed two dogs, one male and one female. What do you think the response of the other kids might be?
33:17: Shaming? Yeah, they might say, oh, come on, don't bring that religious, ha, ha, ha.
33:24: So the teacher might say, really? Do you think all dogs we have today came from two dogs, which is taught in the
33:30: Garden of Eden and the Noah's Ark teaching and the kids laugh along?
33:38: Absolutely. Two reasons to believe it started as two dogs. The Bible teaches it and genetics confirms it.
33:48: Okay, here's a man from the University of Pennsylvania. This is his quote. Nowadays, based on a growing body of anatomical, genetic and behavioral evidence, most experts believe that the dog originated exclusively from a single species, the gray wolf
34:07: Canis lupus. So he's not touching on origin or religion one way or the other, he's just talking about anatomy, genetics and behavior that they came from two, a male and a female
34:23: Canis. Terry, could you volunteer someone to read those please? Terry?
34:37: I volunteer Jeff, the geologist. Oh, I was gonna say, for I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation to those who believe,
34:49: Romans 116. Yes, genetics and biochemistry glorify
34:54: God and the Bible. We don't need to be ashamed. Now, why did the first two dogs have to start out as adults?
35:05: So they could have babies? Because puppies are helpless.
35:10: Somebody's got to feed them, right? Ah, yes. My dad was a very intelligent man.
35:17: He never went to college, went to World War II and then went to work. He would say things out of the blue that I just loved.
35:24: We were coming back from golfing and out of the blue, my dad said, son, Adam and Eve had to be adults.
35:31: And I knew something good was coming. I said, why dad? He said, because babies are helpless. Sometimes when
35:40: I witnessed, I asked people, could you imagine if God created a one day old baby boy and a one day old baby girl as the first humans?
35:49: What would your comments be about that? It would have ended there.
35:56: Exactly, they can't even lift their heads. It makes so much sense that a great
36:01: God made a male and female adult of whales and bears and dogs and people. Any comments on that?
36:15: Okay. True or false, dogs are born with teeth. I don't know, that's a good question.
36:26: Baby teeth, little tiny baby teeth. They're real sharp.
36:33: Anyone else? Yeah, because when you're on puppies, they nip at you and it hurts.
36:42: I'm gonna say no, because nobody has said no yet. And the winner is
36:48: Terry. They are not born with teeth.
36:56: Why did the creator of the heavens and the earth not give teeth to baby puppies?
37:03: I'm gonna guess for the same reason human babies don't have it, because when they nurse, it would hurt their mom.
37:10: Absolutely. Could you imagine this poor mom, if she had nine little aggressive puppies with teeth, touching one of the most sensitive parts of her body?
37:23: I truly believe they're not born with teeth for this very reason. Any comments on that? Praise the
37:32: Lord. God thought of everything, did he not?
37:41: Let's rely on him more and more. Terry, could you have someone read this one, please?
37:48: How about Snides? Are you still with us?
37:59: Going once. Oh, there we go. Unto the Lord, the glory do his name. Amen, it is due to him.
38:07: Look at that dog, what a beauty. Cuteness is designed. Oops, I'm sorry. Wow. Oh, I'm sorry.
38:15: Do they have baby teeth? They're not born with teeth, but then they get baby teeth.
38:22: Yes. And this poor dog has a problem, but it sure demonstrates the baby teeth.
38:29: And again, this dog's having problems because the teeth didn't fall out, but they are sharp. Are they not, everybody?
38:35: Someone mentioned that earlier. Everybody's baby teeth are sharp. Yeah, but he's not nursing anymore, so the mom couldn't care less.
38:47: Which teeth are my dog's teeth and which teeth were my daughter's teeth? Hopefully the bottom one is your daughter's.
39:00: I asked the Lord, why couldn't my daughter have straight teeth like that and save me $3 ,500? Look at the perfect design though of the dog's teeth, how they fit.
39:11: Just absolutely perfect to the millimeter, amen? Amen. I have three children, they all needed braces, but my dogs have always had perfect teeth.
39:27: So sadly, some people, it's not the majority, debate on the origin of dogs.
39:35: And to me, the Bible and genetics teaches there's no heated debate. This is very deep science.
39:42: Dogs can only make what? Dogs. Amen. Are all dogs related to each other?
39:51: Yes or no? Yes. Absolutely. But a depressing thing is so many people are scared to admit it.
40:02: When I was researching this lesson, I came across a bunch of brilliant scientists like this man who quoted earlier, and I sent them a letter like this.
40:12: He never replied, nobody, oh, one person replied and said, it's interesting what you said, and that was about it.
40:18: I'm an engineer. This is what my email was. I love science and I love dogs. I saw your quote about all dogs coming from a single species.
40:30: I asked these people on the internet that are dog experts. I think it's a shame that people in science are terrified to say that animals originated from a single species with the potential to make a lot of variation.
40:45: The original animal appears to be the result of design. Students can seek out on their own who the designer is.
40:54: And I asked them for their comment. No one replied. I really feel the universities are filled with a lot of people who love
41:02: God and believe in creation, but they're terrified. They're scared to death to even mention it.
41:10: Any comments on that? That makes sense though, because there's a lot of peer pressure.
41:22: Yeah, it's absolutely. Because people are losing their jobs now for, you know, the truth.
41:33: And these people are studying, their jaw has to drop at the complexity, but the haters of God have scared them to death.
41:42: And Romans 1 .20 tells us it. Yes, yes, yes.
41:50: So this cool girl says, hey look, you can breed dogs. That's evidence of evolution. End of story.
41:57: Is it? Can dogs be bred? How would that have anything to do with evolution? That's an actual physical act.
42:04: Dogs make dogs. Yep, dogs make dogs. These are the straws that they grasp.
42:10: Go ahead, I'm sorry, what? You can breed different traits out, but you're not making it better.
42:16: You're making it limited. Right. You're making it a Chihuahua.
42:21: Yeah, a yuppie dog. You're making it more dependent on humans because you're taking out its natural ability to live in the wild.
42:36: Somebody told me when I taught a lesson years ago, they went to a place in Mexico where all the dogs were wild.
42:43: Did he see any poodles, pugs, chihuahuas?
42:52: No, they were all gnarly looking pit bull type dogs. So we do breed survival traits out of them.
43:02: And I never knew this really until I did this lesson. What is the definition of a breed?
43:09: Does anybody want to take a guess? And I'm not holier than thou. I didn't know until I did the lesson. Could it be a kind?
43:23: Good. Good answer. It's a man -made definition.
43:29: I think when there's enough recognizable traits that have been bred into a specific variety.
43:41: Very good. Very good. The American Kennel Club would agree with you.
43:48: A purebred will breed true. That means two Rottweilers are purebreds if they always produce dogs recognizable as Rottweilers.
43:59: So what you've almost done is bred out all the variation that the dog could have.
44:07: It's almost like a dead end. So it's a human definition.
44:15: Is it evidence that evolution is true? No. Be careful.
44:24: Yeah, like what Joyce said, it's the opposite because you've bred out, you've chosen traits that might be favorable to certain circumstances but not to the dog's innate ability to survive in the wild.
44:39: Very good. Mutation. Well, the word evolution means, if someone were to ask you, is dog breeding evidence of evolution?
44:51: I would not say yes or no. I would ask them, what do you mean when you say evolution? Because the word evolution means what?
45:01: One word definition. Change. Yep, change. Is it a change to go from a wolf ancestor to a little lapdog and a huge Irish wolfhound?
45:15: Yes. Yes. God created the original wolves to have all this variation and that's a change but there's still what?
45:29: Dogs. Exactly, very good. So you see that? So a hater of God could say, hey, it's a change.
45:36: Therefore dogs are related to bacteria. We say, no, you silly boy.
45:43: Dogs are only related to dogs. This could be called micro evolution where these dogs might have all the variation bred out of them and that's all they can make.
45:54: And it's actually harmful. So dog breeding is evidence that you can get varieties of dogs.
46:02: Dog breeding is not evidence that dogs are related to bacteria. Any comments on that?
46:15: Any comments, any questions? We do have some questions that we're saving for the end.
46:23: Okay. Unless I hear you talk about something that's related to it, then I'll bring it up.
46:28: But we have a little bank going of questions for the end. Good, okay. So this would be called macro evolution.
46:36: Macro means big. That means bacteria is the ancestor to a whale. Micro evolution, you can breed dogs, which is
46:45: God's wisdom. This is a fun trivia question. How many breeds of dogs exist?
46:52: And once again, I had no idea until I did this lesson. So there's no shame.
47:00: That's? That's true. I'm gonna guess. 212. How many?
47:08: 212. Wow, that's pretty good. According to the
47:13: American Kennel Club, there's 197. According to other clubs, there's 400.
47:20: 400. I think there's a little politics and money involved. Hey, name this one a new breed.
47:28: Well, I'm not too sure. Could we make a donation? Okay, it's a new breed. Again, it's only a human definition because of the traits, but there's many.
47:42: That's an example of about 100. But a breed is not a species.
47:49: It just has to do with the traits because all of those dogs could interbreed with each other.
47:55: They're the same species. Okay, here's a question
48:01: I would like an answer to. Why did God create those original wolves with so much genetic potential for variety?
48:15: Because he knew what we would wanna do with them? Good answer. I heard someone else saying something, what?
48:23: Maybe he likes chihuahuas. I think he loves everything.
48:31: Maybe just for our pleasure so we would enjoy the variety. Okay, absolutely.
48:37: Because God is creative. And would there be a practical reason too that dogs have so much variation?
48:47: Survival. Yes, could you expand on that? Well, when they were created, they were created in a spot, a place, but then they moved out of that place into the known world that we have today with all of its climate and everything.
49:07: And so they had to be able to adapt. And so it's adaptability that would have a view on their survival.
49:18: That's how I see it. Yeah. Any more comments? Natural selection is something that glorifies
49:31: God, but has been stolen by the atheists. Just like that man's example.
49:39: Imagine you had two dogs, a furry dog and a hairless dog, and you took them to Alaska in the summertime and you forgot them.
49:48: So they fall in love and get married during the summer and they make a variety of offspring, some furry, some hairless.
49:58: Winter comes to Alaska, what's gonna happen? Oh boy. The hairless dogs are gonna say, my goodness, it's cold and freeze and die.
50:11: But the furry dogs, they have the traits to survive that environment. They reproduce, they make mostly furry dogs, but they have the potential to make a hairless dog.
50:22: But the next winter is gonna take care of that beautiful dog and he dies. In a short amount of time, the only two or the only ancestors from that original two in Alaska are gonna be what type of dog?
50:38: Furry. Furry. Suppose those two dogs were left in a very hot desert, which trait would survive?
50:52: Hairless. The hairless one. The hairless dog. Yeah, but they might race to death.
50:58: Yes, yes. True. But I believe God created variation because of all the different climates on the planet.
51:06: The population will keep going if there's variation in it. Does that make sense?
51:15: That makes a lot of sense, Bill. Isn't God great? Here's a fun thing
51:24: I came across. Some dogs in the wild are very ferocious, but the dogs we have in our house are sweethearts.
51:33: Why is that? Training. Okay. Is it something to do with the pack mentality?
51:44: Oh, good answer. Our dogs are domesticated. Okay. And so they're dependent on people and somehow they understand that.
51:57: Like, oh yeah, food. Yes, they're smart, right? That's it. Well, I read this on the internet and I liked it.
52:05: Suppose I had a terrible dog that bit everybody, growled, and chewed up the furniture.
52:12: Would I say, hey, Terry, you gotta get a dog like this. They're great. Or would
52:19: I spread the word, this dog's a disaster. You don't want it in your home. Depends on if we're friends that day or not,
52:25: I guess, Bill. Good answer. Well, previously we talked about natural selection.
52:32: This is artificial selection. People bring dogs into their house and they realize which ones are good, which ones are bad.
52:43: And after a while, you've realized Labrador retrievers are a beautiful thing in your house, but a coyote is not something you want to keep in your house.
52:55: You get it? So nature often selects, but then again, people often select.
53:02: Does that make sense? Any comments on that? I have a quick comment.
53:09: My neighbor has the cutest little black lab. It's a little girl. Her name is Daisy Bell. I really like her.
53:18: And now you can enjoy all the expressions on Daisy, right? Yes, and I don't have to be responsible for her.
53:25: I can just enjoy the expressions. You know, if you offered to take her for walks, the owners would probably be happy to let you do that.
53:33: You can have a little fun. That's a good idea. Oh, you do? Oh no, that's a good idea.
53:40: Yeah. Does that look like a design or the product of nature and chance to you?
53:54: Design. Beautiful, beautiful design. Chemically speaking, are dog teeth and human teeth similar or different?
54:06: Similar. Similar. They're different, I think. I was very surprised to learn that they're similar.
54:14: I always thought dogs had super enamel, the way they crunch, but it's about the same.
54:20: And that's surprising. But their teeth are designed for what they need to do.
54:27: And you notice things on your dogs. Like if my dog's trying to get something off its dinner plate, it'll use those incisors.
54:36: They've never seen them, but they know they're there. These dogs, a lot of times these are called fangs, but do you know what the proper name is?
54:50: Do you know? Yeah, canine teeth. Very, very good. Canines, for tearing and grabbing.
54:59: And look at this one tooth right next to the canine. Look how little it is. It's almost like just there so the bone won't hit the gum, you know, to protect it from the pain.
55:09: But those little molars, oops, I'm sorry. Premolars, they shred and they chew.
55:15: Look how they're all different sizes. And then you have the molars.
55:20: My son calls these the mountain teeth where they can crush.
55:28: But I would enjoy it if somebody could reflect on these teeth and comment on how it glorifies
55:33: God. Is that for crushing bones?
55:44: Yeah, oh yeah. My dog eats bones. She crushes them and they're gone.
55:54: Anybody want to comment on God's design of dog teeth? I think it's interesting that our dogs have been able to learn how to, when it's okay to use their teeth for food, but then like when they're biting, you know, playing with us, they know how to be soft and gentle and they'll still bite, but they'll do it gently.
56:19: So God's given them that ability to distinguish. That's the voice of experience because they get out of control and rough, but they still don't bite too hard.
56:33: Very, very good point. Then they can pick up their puppies or they can crush a bone.
56:42: Anything else anybody want to share? I say to my son that our dog does not only represent herself, she represents other dogs too, right?
56:54: Like, oh man, dogs kill, they bite your fingers off. But what a great reputation of safety dogs have, amen?
57:04: I don't trust dogs I don't know though. And even dogs that I know I don't trust. I had a grand dog and my daughter had two babies and I would never leave the baby alone with the dog.
57:19: And one time I saw Maverick grab one of the granddaughter's arms.
57:25: And I was like, what? But he didn't bite down.
57:30: He just moved her hand. She was pulling on his tail. And so she just, he grabbed her arm and just moved it.
57:37: And I trusted him a little more after that. Robin, did you see our meeting last month?
57:46: I was there. I'm the organizer, but I had a problem.
57:51: So I missed a lot of it, but I heard it was very good. Oh, well, do you remember? I don't know if you saw the part, if a child is walking down the street, the dog will always locate himself where?
58:06: If they're going for a family walk. I don't know. Between the street and the child.
58:13: Oh, that's interesting. Next time you're out on the street and you see a family with a dog and a child, check it out.
58:23: I will look at it. They're protecting their pack. I think they enjoy it.
58:32: Like fingers in a glove, a beautiful mix. Can't we all delight in the
58:38: Lord by looking at his creation, everybody? Yes. Okay, first person to answer gets five creation points, go.
58:52: Saliva. Ding, ding, ding, very good. Who said that? June did.
58:59: I have five points now. Saliva is an incredibly complex chemical, a lubricant for the food, for the mouth.
59:08: It can break down carbohydrates. It's got cleaning agents, fights infection, electrolytes to start digestion.
59:17: Beautiful design. Praise the Lord, right? Praise the
59:24: Lord. And I wanna say, like I've known that before, that dogs' saliva has like antibiotic kind of, you know, that it fights infections and stuff.
59:36: But knowing that and then watching a dog eat something like some poop or something doesn't change.
59:47: Like, even though I know that they have like really good saliva, I still don't want them licking me.
59:52: I know where that tongue's been. I respect that. One thing
59:58: I learned in my research is that dog's saliva breaks down sugar better to prevent cavities better than human saliva.
01:00:09: So that's kind of good for the dog and a bummer for us. Amen? Amen. So salivary glands are not really that complex, you creation people.
01:00:22: It could have happened over chance over millions of years, right? No. No.
01:00:30: This is a kitty drawing. The dogs have four different salivary glands and they all do a different liquid.
01:00:39: They all produce a different liquid. Unbelievable. Ta -da! Here's a professional drawing.
01:00:49: Could you guys just study that, meditate, and share what's going through your mind? Well, I have a question about the saliva.
01:01:02: Knowing how all of those features of it and how amazing it is, are scientists using it for things like?
01:01:13: I do not have an answer to that. I have not heard of it. Does anybody else have any idea? No. And also on a related note,
01:01:29: June wants to know if cats have similar saliva to dogs. You know what?
01:01:36: I have no idea. It always seems like cats have a very dry mouth and I'm not a cat expert at all.
01:01:44: Do any cat experts have any opinion on cat saliva? It always seems like their tongue is as dry as sandpaper.
01:01:53: Any comments on that? I don't have an answer. Thank you. Cats have saliva. It's my problem, my cat, as far as the antibiotic part,
01:02:07: I'm not entirely convinced because when my cat bit me a few years ago, I got infected. So my understanding is that getting bit by a cat is almost worse than getting bit by a dog.
01:02:22: Wow. I didn't know that. I did not know that either. And the reason the cat's tongue seems like sandpaper, it's designed that way because it's like a brush.
01:02:36: It's how they groom themselves. That's why when you see after a cat, you know, grooms its fur, it's like straight lines, like if you vacuum a carpet.
01:02:46: Wow. Yeah. God's design. What we could do for fun later is
01:02:53: Google electron microscope image of a cat tongue. I bet it would be incredible.
01:03:02: Probably all these little spikes on it, but thank you for sharing that. And again, I'd love participation. Once again, we couldn't even draw that.
01:03:13: God thought it and then spoke it into existence. And it's just a beautiful economy of space, isn't it?
01:03:20: It fits in there so nice. I wish
01:03:25: God could organize my attic for me. Very smart dog there.
01:03:36: Okay, Terry, volunteer, please. Okay, Jim. Jim Tufford, I volunteer you.
01:03:48: Oh my. Okay, would you like me to read this? I will extol the Lord at all times.
01:03:54: His praise will always be on my lips. Psalm 34 one. Amen. That's what we need to do.
01:04:02: All times. Look at that tongue. Designer chance. Oh. Looks like this dog.
01:04:14: Okay, have you guys ever thought this? My son and I have a lot of fun.
01:04:22: We ask our dog, why are you sleeping all the time? But how can it sleep all the time?
01:04:29: Could you guys sleep 23 hours a day? Lately, yes. But that's because of some medication.
01:04:38: I'm sorry to hear that. And I think we've seen this before because I think
01:04:43: I remember telling you they're not sleeping, they're refueling. Did we do this one last month?
01:04:52: I don't know if it was last month or if it was when you came last year because we touched on dogs a little bit last year.
01:04:59: Okay, hopefully it's new. They don't get into as a deep asleep as we do.
01:05:05: Like we get deep into a REM sleep. The dogs don't sleep as deeply.
01:05:11: So they don't get the full rest that we do. So that allows them to be, they're always just a little bit tired so they can fall asleep.
01:05:19: But we often can't because we're rested. What is it that makes them chase squirrels when they're sleeping?
01:05:27: Like Maverick, he'd just go crazy. Like he was running on his side. Well, my dog has nightmares all the time.
01:05:36: I think she had a traumatic youth and I asked a veterinarian about it, that she may have had a traumatic youth and she dreams about trials and tribulations.
01:05:49: But your dog is having joyful dreams it would seem. But why did you think
01:05:56: God designed dogs to not get into a really deep sleep? Okay, I remember this.
01:06:01: I think maybe you did talk about this last month because you said so that they're ready to guard us to wake up easily.
01:06:09: Last week too. Not last month, yeah. Wow, I hope the whole lesson's not been a repeat, has it?
01:06:16: Oh no, this is the first thing that was familiar to me. Oh, okay. So they could, since they don't get into a deep sleep, they can sleep a lot and they can protect you, which is a beautiful thing.
01:06:34: Are you guys scared? Again, what makes them so lovable?
01:06:43: Think about this. Suppose you had a pet alligator and you said, come here, go away, stay.
01:06:50: That's Robin, because she moved to Florida. She's gonna get a pet alligator. Well, dogs know our inflection and our commands and they respond to visual commands and that makes them lovable.
01:07:07: Does it not? I don't know if you can train a snake, but I doubt it, but you sure can train a dog.
01:07:13: Any comments on that? Patrick never listened.
01:07:24: Who? My grand dog, he just did what he wanted. Actually, I took a class at the wild animal park one time on behavior modification.
01:07:36: And it was interesting to find out what animals you can train that you might not realize.
01:07:42: Like you can train, you can house break birds so that they don't have to stay in a cage, like they can be loose in the house.
01:07:50: But you have to be very consistent and diligent with it, but you can time how often they poop.
01:07:58: And then you can plan it out where they're at their perch at the right time.
01:08:04: So you can train them to do that. And we got to see behind the scenes how they train the elephants for husbandry and stuff.
01:08:13: And they make it totally voluntary. The elephants choose to come over and have their husbandry because it's a reward to them.
01:08:20: So it's behavioral modification or they also call operant conditioning.
01:08:26: And they taught us how you can also use it on people. But there's two tricks, no matter who you're doing it with, people or animals.
01:08:33: Number one, you have to be consistent. You have to be consistent. And then number two, when you're doing it with people, they can't know you're doing it.
01:08:45: How could you use that in parenting? Exactly, you can. You just have to know when to offer the reward and when to remove the, or when to remove things.
01:08:58: So it's always finding that balance between the positive and negative consequences.
01:09:04: And then you have to be consistent. Wow. My son had a turtle, we called him
01:09:11: Godzilla. And when I would come over and say something, he would come to the glass and look around for me because he knew that I would give him a treat.
01:09:22: He's, and my son said, he didn't do that for everybody. Just when I would say something, that Godzilla would swim to the glass and look around.
01:09:33: Smart animal. I never saw like that for a turtle before, but I understand that turtles are a lot smarter than we give them credit for.
01:09:46: Yeah, my mom has turtles and tortoises and she donated some a few years ago to the
01:09:52: Creation and Earth History Museum there in Santee. And Nathan, the one who was doing all the, taking care of all the animals, pointed out that when the turtles or tortoises follow you, it's because it's a food thing, that they know that you're their food source and that's why.
01:10:11: But she still has some out in the yard here that when she goes out, they're satisfied, their food needs are met, but some of them are very social and will come to her and want to see her when she goes out there.
01:10:26: That's great, love it. Thanks for sharing. Dogs, you ever heard the term mad -dogging?
01:10:35: Dogs like eye contact. Gangsters often say, don't mad -dog me like where you're staring in their eyes.
01:10:41: But dogs do love eye contact and people do too.
01:10:50: This is pretty neat. Some scientists got funded to figure out that dogs and humans release endorphins when there's eye contact.
01:11:03: Look at that. Is that dog communicating with his eyes? We love them.
01:11:18: And just today, I was watching my dog do this expression and I was thinking about this lesson tonight.
01:11:25: They really, really know how to work a room, don't they? They know how to pull our heartstrings.
01:11:32: Anybody care to share about that? Sure. I go to this
01:11:37: Bible study and there's a little dog named Brooklyn there. And Brooklyn comes up to me because he wants some food.
01:11:46: So I give him some food and I pet him and he stays by me as long as he wants to.
01:11:51: And then he leaves for another person and he goes around the room and he knows just exactly how to get what he needs, the food.
01:12:03: And I think that's very, that shows the intelligence of Brooklyn.
01:12:09: But he works his eyes on you probably, right? Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. He'll stay there and stare at me.
01:12:17: If I'm standing up or sitting down, he will stare at me right in my eyes. I love it.
01:12:22: Yeah. I love it. Besides glorifying God, if he just delighted dogs more, this would have been a blessing, perhaps this lesson for you guys.
01:12:32: Anybody else care to share how dogs manipulate you with their beautiful eye contact? Huskies are very, have a lot of expressions and not just with their eyes.
01:12:51: They make this noise like, aroo, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. And if I were on a call for work and I happened to be at the house where my grand dog was living, he'd know that I was on a call and he'd come over and look at me and then he'd do, aroo, boop, boop, boop, boop.
01:13:15: Love him. Well, get into the science a little bit of it. Dogs have special muscles that hardly any other animals have to manipulate their eyes to produce hundreds and hundreds of eye expressions.
01:13:31: And what's interesting is some wolves do not have them, they've lost them perhaps, but it could be one of those artificial selection traits that people have kept in bred dogs who can make those expressions.
01:13:50: Terry, I need a volunteer. Okay, I call on Jeff. Jeff, what expression is this dog saying and there's no right or wrong answer?
01:14:03: I think so. Aren't they wonderful?
01:14:12: They're like people, aren't they guys? Of course I'm not an evolutionist,
01:14:20: I'm not an evolutionist, but I would say the dog is more closely related to people than the ape. Amen.
01:14:27: They are animals and we are created in God's image. Right, absolutely. How many eyelids do dogs have?
01:14:39: Two. Three. Two. Two weeks ago, I would have said two, but the answer is three because they have an upper eyelid, a lower eyelid, and then the third eyelid.
01:14:54: There it is right there. Does it serve a purpose or is it an accident through evolution, mutation, chance, and time?
01:15:07: What do you guys think? I think that it's probably for a purpose because I know that beavers have at least two pairs and one of them is see -through so that they can see underneath the water.
01:15:19: So I'm thinking God designed dogs on purpose that way too. Everything on the dog that's not a little mutation like a wart is needed.
01:15:31: We have a great God that we can all trust. So there's a purpose for it. It protects the eye from injury, keeps their cornea clean.
01:15:40: Don't forget they live outdoors and it can get dusty out there, amen? And then it produces antibodies to protect against infection and it produces their tears.
01:15:54: That's my dog, got a little goo -goo going. Now, sometimes it's an infection and I think that one was because what's strange is she had an ear infection on her left side that we took her to the vet for, but could also be something else.
01:16:14: Now, I Googled atheist and this clown came up. Now, why do you think he's holding a sign up like that?
01:16:29: Anybody? To make his mom angry? Yep, attention, even negative attention is better, right?
01:16:39: So on his deathbed, I wonder if he's gonna be bragging about his atheism. What do you think? But anyways, on his deathbed, he'll be crying out to God.
01:16:51: If someone's an atheist and they see this next set of slides and they're still an atheist,
01:16:58: I cannot do anything to change their mind using science. I love this, tears.
01:17:07: Tears are an amazing thing. How many layers of liquid make up our tears?
01:17:14: First off, do you guys know there's different layers to our tears? I didn't know that,
01:17:25: Bill. Okay. And Bill, probably we're gonna wanna wrap up pretty soon and just, we have a couple more questions when you do get to the stopping point.
01:17:35: Okay, I'll be done in about two minutes. First, we have the cornea, but let's talk about layer number, with the number three on it.
01:17:43: There's three layers to tears. We have a liquid water layer with 1000 proteins in it.
01:17:50: Your tears have 1000 proteins. They fight infection, they provide nutrition to the eye.
01:17:56: But if you had only water on your cornea, it would slide right off, like water on a pool ball, billiard ball.
01:18:04: So God designed a mucus to hold the tear to the eye. That's layer number two here, you see it?
01:18:10: But if you went to Arizona in the summer and it was 110 degrees with zero humidity, your tears would evaporate.
01:18:18: So God put on the outside layer, a layer of oil. So you got water with 1000 proteins, a mucus that sticks to the eye and oil to keep it from evaporating.
01:18:31: If someone doesn't see design in that, I can't help them. Any amens to that?
01:18:38: Amen. What a great God. So God made dogs. Terry, could you read that one, please?
01:18:47: Yes. My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long.
01:18:52: Psalm 71, eight. Perfect, turn it and the end. Nice.
01:19:00: Okay, Bill. So some questions to challenge your knowledge and see if you've studied these things too.
01:19:08: You mentioned earlier the way that dogs communicate with us with their ears. So just like some breeds get their tails cropped, some breeds get their ears cropped also.
01:19:20: So does that interfere with dogs' natural ability to communicate or will their ears still do things?
01:19:28: Like I know I had a dog with its tail cropped and even though it was a little, it would still wag.
01:19:34: You could still see it going, but I don't know about the ears. I would say the effort is there, but not the results.
01:19:43: And sometimes I feel bad when they crop a dog's tail too much because it keeps its private stuff warm, that there's a function to their tail.
01:19:51: When it's cold outside, that tail is like a nice warm blanket. So I would say it does impair their ability to communicate if their ears are cropped.
01:20:03: And we had friends with a Rottweiler, they cut that tail so short, I won't get personal, but the dog could not be as warm on a cold
01:20:11: Barstow night as it could be. Okay, I get that.
01:20:17: Okay, and then another question from somebody watching along on Facebook is,
01:20:23: I have heard accounts of dogs that have traveled on their own thousand miles or more to find their way back home.
01:20:31: How is this possible? Wow. My little story is
01:20:38: I once went to a barber when I was a teenager that I'd never been to before.
01:20:43: It was a mile from my home and my dog got loose and came to the barber shop.
01:20:50: Absolutely incredible. Now that example might've been the sense of smell. I've never really thought about it, but I've heard they find their owner.
01:21:07: Wouldn't that be by the sense of smell? From what I understand is a lot of the police dog can pick up scent from people that are gone for a long time and also they can distinguish that scent.
01:21:22: Wouldn't that be able to lead you back to where you came from? I would be guessing, but I would say it has to be the sense of smell.
01:21:34: I wonder if somebody flew in an airplane versus drove in a car, if that would make a difference.
01:21:41: Let me just guess, suppose it was a car, they can smell the person, they can smell the car and they can trace the car, but I'm guessing there, but that's a very, very good question.
01:21:51: So do you think it's also their sense of smell that dogs can tell the difference between human males and females?
01:22:01: That would be a guess, but I'd say yes. And remember last week we talked about a gland they have inside their mouth for pheromones.
01:22:09: And I would bet in 20 years or so, people will learn even more about dogs and their sensory perception.
01:22:15: They got all these glands that a couple hundred years ago, people said, oh, they don't really need that little thing.
01:22:22: They have a gland, I think it's called the Jacobson gland where they can smell things underwater.
01:22:29: They get a little water in their mouth and they can detect smell underwater. So whoever wrote that question, if you research it, could you email me the answer?
01:22:41: Because it's probably on the internet. I would love to learn more about that, but it's fun to research it, isn't that?
01:22:48: Yeah, it is. Okay, Bill, so remind everybody how they can find you. Okay, I have a website and I have a guy who,
01:22:57: I mean, a YouTube channel, the guy who runs it, I think he changed the name of it to Billy Jack. Yes.
01:23:03: Oh, have you noticed that? Yeah, I actually put a link to it in our Facebook comments, but go ahead and -
01:23:10: Okay, and I honestly don't care about likes and thumbs up, but I just care about glorifying
01:23:17: God. A lot of debates, a lot of lessons, some of them controversial, like why are people atheists?
01:23:26: It's not because of science, it's because they're either mad at God, they don't wanna listen to God, or they've never been taught anything else.
01:23:34: But nobody has studied the salivary glands in a dog and said, that could have happened by chance.
01:23:43: But emotions can drive people from God. But people can call me at 714 -898 -8331, or email me at billyjack1 at hotmail .com.
01:23:56: And just trying to give people hope, joy, love, and peace, and eternal life with a great
01:24:04: God. That's great. And we're Creation Fellowship Santee, and people can find us on YouTube, Creation Fellowship Santee, and Facebook, and email creationfellowshipsantee at gmail .com
01:24:19: so that you don't miss any of our upcoming speakers. Bill, do you wanna pray to close us before we end our recording?
01:24:26: Today is the National Day of Prayer, so we wanna just remember to pray for our country. I'd be honored.
01:24:33: Dear Lord, thank you for dogs. May you be glorified by your great creation.
01:24:42: You're an artist, chemical engineer, a mechanical engineer, an electrical engineer, structural engineer, and you're glorified in dogs.
01:24:52: You're glorified with us, and you're glorified by all your creation. I pray that more people humble their emotions and realize who you are, and they realize the joy, the peace of mind, the contentment that comes with knowing you, that they don't fear death because they are yours.
01:25:12: In Jesus' name we pray, amen. Amen. Okay. Thank you.
