And I my fingers are sticky and my when I moved my mouse it pushed the will go live so half your prayer is on on Facebook.

00:12

Praise the Lord. Praise God. All right, well let's get started so Robin Don't forget to mute yourself.

00:21

I'm Terry cameras all here with creation fellowship we're a group of friends found by our common agreement that the creation account as told in Genesis is a true depiction of how

00:30

God created the earth and all life in just six days about 6000 years ago, we used to me and person at the creation of his

00:38

Earth History Museum in Santee California but we took to this online platform in June of 2020 and haven't looked back.

00:45

God has blessed us with presentations by many people who love the

00:50

Lord and have a message to share. You can now find links to most of our past presentations by typing in tiny

00:57

URL com forward slash. See like creation F like fellowship and Santee is spelled s a n t e.

01:05

You can also email us at creation fellowship Santee at gmail .com to get on our email list so you don't miss our upcoming speakers and we never spam.

01:14

And you can see from the slides that are showing that we do have two more weeks of this season next week we'll have

01:21

Brian Laura here to talk to us about the World Economic Forum and the week after that we'll have

01:27

Pastor Tom Lee here to talk to us about So with that tonight though we are thrilled to have our friend back

01:36

Bill Morgan, Bill is an engineer and an evangelist he also leads the creation science fellowship at Calvary Chapel West Grove, and you can find his website at fish don't walk .com.

01:51

And you can also look for his videos on Facebook he has a Bill Morgan channel but he's not the only one with the

01:56

Bill Morgan channel. So make sure you look for him under the Bill Morgan science and God channel and Bill's gonna talk to us he's talked to us before about similar topics, his presentations are aimed for fifth graders and up.

02:12

And so, anybody could should be able to understand just the fun facts that he presents tonight it's all about animal eyes, you can see some of his other videos that have been that he's done with us in the past on one of our channels but he also appreciates interaction so those of us who are here in zoom are going to participate and turn our microphones on from time to time to answer his questions and if you're watching on Facebook, you can answer, give your answers in the chat and if you have any questions for him put them in the chat as well.

02:48

All right, with that, Bill, go ahead. Okay, well, thank you for having me. I'm honored and humbled to be here.

02:55

And before I share the screen I'll just tell you a little story I've been an engineer for about 39 years, and I drove someone to the airport today, and on the way back

03:06

I love to drive without the radio on in daydream. And I was just daydreaming about the lesson.

03:12

And instead of a lesson it's more of a celebration, just a celebration of how great and awesome

03:18

God is. And how worthy he is to be praised. And I had a little flashback of as an engineer.

03:29

In many ways, God is humble. I mean if any of us designed any of the eyes that we talked about.

03:36

We're going to talk about tonight. We might be saying, hey, check this out. What do you think about the rat eye that I designed?

03:43

But God designs it, lays it out, and in a way is humble.

03:48

But he doesn't want to share his glory either. Many, many years ago I worked at Long Beach Naval Shipyard.

03:54

And in the carpentry room, I had a project to get rid of the big old fan and all the duct work.

04:02

And we put in little portable exhaust. It's like a 55 -gallon drum that could go from piece of equipment to piece of equipment.

04:11

It gathered the air better, it was cheaper, etc. It worked really well. I got a different job in Seal Beach, and they had the same problem.

04:22

And I said, oh, I did this in Long Beach, these little drums that go from piece of equipment to piece of equipment.

04:30

And I had a supervisor that was a good guy. He says it won't work. And I said, no, it'll work,

04:37

Joe. I know it'll work. We've already done it. So we put it in. It worked good.

04:42

And at a meeting, somebody said, wow, that's a nice little ventilation system in the carpenter room.

04:48

And guess what Joe said? Yeah, it was my idea. So wait a minute,

04:56

Joe, wait a minute. The point being, I never bragged about the design, but I sure didn't want someone else to take the credit for it.

05:04

So let's give credit where credit is due. Eyes are the result of God's greatness.

05:10

It's not the result of time, nature, chance, and mutation. Amen? All right.

05:20

Amen. Okay. And I do love participation. I always tell people if you get bored, ask a question of the speaker, you'll get a little bolt of adrenaline, and it can keep your interest as well.

05:36

Okay, is my screen filled with the PowerPoint right now? No, you have to go up to the top and hit slideshow.

05:48

A little bit farther to the left, up, up, up, up, all the way to the top in that. Yeah, no, no, left, left, go to the other left.

05:56

Right there, slideshow. See it says home, insert, draw, design, transitions, animation, slideshow.

06:03

There you go. Oh, it would also work down here, right? I can't see down there, I can only see the top one.

06:10

Okay. Okay, now can you see it? Yes. Okay, great. There's my YouTube channel.

06:17

Sadly, my websites have fallen way behind the times, but my YouTube channel, I've got a bunch of videos on it, and debates,

06:25

I've had many debates. And you're welcome to take a look at those. Tonight, we're going to talk about eyes.

06:36

Vin Scully was a baseball announcer and he was famous for being quiet, when it was a good time to be quiet.

06:42

So maybe I might be quiet here. As you guys just look at God's creativity and genius and all the different eyes that he created.

06:55

That third one from the left on the top, that's an elephant eye, isn't it?

07:01

Yes, yes. That tiny little eye belongs to that big fat elephant. Isn't that something?

07:07

And he's looking right at you. But what a great creative God. We're not going to talk about every eye here, but we're going to cover a couple of these beautiful animals.

07:17

And again, interaction is welcome. Who would like to read this first?

07:23

Terry, could you get a volunteer, please? Yes, I would like to volunteer,

07:29

Diane. Yeah, I'm here.

07:37

For his invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly perceived ever since the creation of the world and the things that have been made.

07:49

So they are without excuse. Nobody has a good excuse to be an atheist.

07:56

Obviously, just the eye alone. And that is Romans 1 verse 20. There is no good intellectual excuse to be an atheist.

08:06

I do a lot of evangelizing and there could be emotional reasons of pain and suffering and things like that.

08:14

But what has been made is a great foundation for our belief in God. And if an atheist is watching this,

08:22

I'm glad you are. I welcome you too. And I just hope you consider without any bias, whether these are the result of design or chance.

08:31

Okay. God does not make things. I stole this from somebody else and I loved it.

08:38

It got my attention. God makes systems. He doesn't make things, he makes systems.

08:46

So what is a system? A set of things working together as parts of a mechanism.

09:00

Now, there is the term irreducible complexity. I met Michael Behe. I love his stuff.

09:06

He's a good guy. But irreducible complexity is way too intelligent for me. I like the word system, where many components work together or else the whole thing will not work.

09:20

Can we back up just a bit to the slide before with all the I's? A would like to know which one was the animal on the bottom left.

09:34

And I was going to guess a fly. Yeah, that looks like. I do not know.

09:41

My dad would often say your guess is as good as mine. It might be a shrimp eye.

09:48

I would guess a dragonfly. Okay, like I said. I didn't put all these together.

09:54

I grabbed the whole thing off the internet. But one thing I do know is that eye is a design.

10:02

Well, it looks like a piece of fruit. Okay. Okay. All right.

10:10

So God makes things and systems. I think systems is easy to understand.

10:17

So what is vision? It's a system. Would you guys agree that for vision to work, you need more than one thing working?

10:29

You need many, many things working. Now, I'm going to simplify it immensely.

10:39

There's probably a million things that are needed to work for vision. Just think, you need a muscular system, a nervous system.

10:48

But I'm going to only talk about, simplify it to four main parts. Four main parts to vision.

10:57

There's the eye. And the eye collects data.

11:04

I'm going to share with you something that I think is a lot of fun. So your eyes collect data.

11:11

But that's only the beginning of the process. After the data is collected, which is light, your rods and cones convert the data.

11:24

Once again, I really love this stuff. Your rods and cones convert the data from light into an electrical signal.

11:34

So I'll go back real quick. The eye collects the data. Then your beautiful rods and cones amazingly convert light into an electrical signal.

11:46

Where does that electrical signal go? It goes down your optic nerve, which is transporting the data.

11:58

So the data was collected, converted. Now it's transported. It goes to the brain, the visual cortex.

12:07

And the data is interpreted. And this just blows me away. Everything that we see is a process, a system of light being converted into an electrical signal.

12:22

I would like to ask the audience if they have any comments on this so far. I would like to comment on the fact that the last time you were here with us, you talked about the human eye and how it works.

12:36

And people can find that presentation on one of our channels. That was amazing. Is this work the same thing in animals as it does in people?

12:47

Because you've got a people picture. Very, very good. Everyone, everything that sees has to collect data, convert it, move it, and interpret it.

13:01

It could be in different ways, but those four steps are required.

13:06

Does that make sense? Yes. Okay. And if one of those parts does not work, would you be able to see?

13:18

I don't know. Nope. All four have to work. And you could say that none is more important than the other.

13:25

You've got to collect it, interpret it, move it, and transform it.

13:32

So once again, a quick review. Data is collected, converted, transported, and interpreted.

13:42

Okay? And so that's a common denominator for all the beautiful animals we're going to talk about tonight.

13:49

And Terry, could you volunteer an eager person to read this, please? Yes, I would like to volunteer

13:56

Rachel. The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the

14:04

Lord has made even both of them, Proverbs 20, 12. Amen.

14:10

And he is worthy to be praised for making that. Amen. Okay. Our schools spend a lot of money on teaching evolution.

14:20

Now, could evolution make this? Very, very simple question that no evolutionist would ever give you an answer to.

14:30

They will chuckle, they will run, they will mock, but they won't answer this. Which one of these systems evolved first?

14:39

The eye, the rods and cones, the optic nerve, or the brain?

14:46

It's really nonsense to believe that mutations made an optic nerve. An optic nerve is about a tenth of an inch in diameter, yet has 2 million nerves running in it.

15:00

But suppose time, nature, and chance made the optic nerve. Is that any good for you to see?

15:08

No. You need an eye, you need rods and cones, you need the brain, and you need about 900 ,000 other things that we're not even talking about.

15:18

Evolution is all about step by step by step. If you have a system, you cannot get there step by step by step.

15:29

For it to be useful and functional, you need all the subsystems fully functional at once, which is the teaching of the

15:38

Garden of Eden that God made everything instantly. Any comments on that?

15:46

I was thinking today about how sometimes you hear people say, Oh, our brains are wired such and such.

15:53

And a lot of times people will say things like that without thinking about the fact that if they are wired, somebody had to wire them.

16:01

Wow, I love that. I'm going to write that down. Wow. And if you ever read articles on the internet by secular, just do a search for the word design.

16:13

They're constantly using the word, but they won't talk about a designer.

16:20

So yeah, it is wired. The brain is just amazing. The brain really, it's almost abused with all the information that our bodies are sending to the brain all day that it interprets and sends signals for controlling our bodies.

16:37

So God makes systems. The theory of evolution cannot make a system.

16:43

You cannot get here by a step -by -step system. And the eye is a system.

16:49

And the cornea is a system. The tissue is a system. The cells are a system.

16:55

The molecules, the atoms, these are all systems. Atheists like to strut as if they have answers.

17:04

Atheists cannot even explain how one atom formed. How do protons, electrons, and neutrons come together and make an atom?

17:14

They can't explain one atom, yet they act as if they can explain the whole universe.

17:20

Any comments on that? We had Dr. Jason Lyle talking about quantum particles, and it went way over my head.

17:33

So I'm going to mute again. Quantum particles? But the atom is a system.

17:41

Protons, neutrons, electrons. How did they get together? It's a fair question, and I've researched it.

17:48

They have no answer at all. All right.

17:54

Trivia time. Who wants a trivia question? Yeah, I was going to say alpha rat.

18:04

Okay. And actually, I'm going to talk about rat eyes later, alpha rat. Years ago,

18:10

I read a book called King Rat by James Clavel. I don't know if you've ever heard of it. Okay, alpha rat.

18:18

What part of the eye allows light to enter? Let's see.

18:24

That would be the iris or the lens. The pupil.

18:30

The pupil. The pupil. Is that the iris and the lens? The lens focuses it.

18:38

The light. And your lens bends. If you look at an ant on the ground and then look at the moon, your precious lens and your eyes are bending to focus for you to see.

18:52

Praise God. But this is just a little tidbit on the pupil. This is the cuttlefish.

19:00

He's got a wavy little pupil. Guess what animal this is?

19:07

Their pupil looks like a happy face. It's a dolphin. There's a different pupil.

19:16

A gecko. No deep science here. Just the creativity, the diversity of God and pupils.

19:26

And later in the lesson, we'll talk more about pupils and their function. Okay. And if anybody has any comments or questions, please let us know what they are.

19:37

And Terry. Go ahead. The gecko eyes. So the pupils not round like our eye.

19:44

Absolutely correct. All different shapes of pupils. Okay. Does anybody.

19:51

The science have any explanation for those different shapes of pupils.

19:57

Yep, that's going to be one of my fifth grade level lesson or slides in the future part of the lesson.

20:04

Okay. I'll hold on. Yeah, it's so exciting. All right.

20:10

Volunteer, please. Do you want to read that verse?

20:16

Oh, yeah. Okay. Joe. Okay. No one is like you,

20:24

Lord. You're great. And your name is Maddie in power. Amen.

20:30

Sure. My attention. Many, many years ago.

20:37

I was evangelizing at UC Irvine. And a story about Rocky Marciano came to light.

20:47

Walter Martin, who was a Christian, the Bible answer, man. He said,

20:53

Rocky Marciano told him, if you want to be a boxer, you're going to get hit. If you're going to be an evangelism evangelist, you're going to get hit any amens.

21:03

But I was having a polite talk with someone at UCI, very educated, intelligent person.

21:14

And they asked me the question, if God is the designer, why do squids have a more efficient eye than humans?

21:25

There is the squid eye. I basically said, I don't know anything about squid eyes.

21:31

Is that true? And he said, yes. And I said, I can't even begin to answer your question. I've never heard it before.

21:38

So I took a little punch there at UC Irvine, went home, did some research.

21:43

And I think the answer is very easy. Why is the squid eye more efficient than the human eye?

21:56

I would say not. I would say it's more efficient for its environment.

22:01

And ours are probably more efficient for our environment. Well said. The squid lives where it's very, very dark.

22:12

They need to absorb all the light that they can. If all of us in this meeting tonight had eyes like squids, if we looked at the sun or a bright light, we'd be blinded for maybe an hour or so.

22:28

We would have pain in our eyes because of it. So I didn't have the answer at the time.

22:35

But thanks to his question, I think I have a good answer for that now. That God designed the squid eye for his dark environment.

22:43

He designed our eyes like ours. So be careful what you wish for. I hope none of you are wishing for eyes as efficient as a squid eye.

22:52

Amen. So it's no fun to take a punch now and then, but it's fun to come up with the answers.

22:59

Would anybody like to share when they've taken a punch, when they've shared their faith? Anyone? All right.

23:20

We'll move on. The size of the squid eye is about the size of a basketball, about 11 inches.

23:27

Gigantic, beautiful design. Look at that great creation by God. Is that on a regular size squid or is it a giant squid?

23:35

Because 11 inch eye on a regular size squid would be really big.

23:44

I would be guessing if I said 100%, but I did read squid eyes can be 11 inches.

23:53

So my assumption is that's the giant squid, but I am not saying that with complete authority.

23:58

What would you think? It's still pretty big eye. Okay. Now at my creation ministry, many times

24:11

I'll get young people to share. Like I'll talk for a few minutes and then they will.

24:17

So some of these I want to give credit were by young people who talked about different eyes and different animals.

24:24

And one young man who spoke to him was Cody. And he talked about the frog eye.

24:31

And I've used some of his slides in this presentation tonight. God made the beasts of the earth after their kind and the cattle after their kind and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind.

24:45

And God saw that it was good. So that was his verse. Okay. And I love when the young people talk.

24:53

They do a great job. Makes them do public speaking and do research.

24:59

So frog eyes are not only amazing eyes, their location is amazing. Their eyes sit on the tops and sides of their heads.

25:08

I will quiz the audience and ask them why are they located there? So they can be under the water hiding.

25:22

Did you see my next slide? Very good. Actually, when

25:28

I lived in California, I used to go walking on this trail and they had kind of like a swamp next to it.

25:35

And every so often you could see a frog. And he's looking at you, right?

25:43

Now, I have a bar across my... Can you guys see that bar? Is that distracting you or you can't see it?

25:50

What bar? Okay, good. We can't see it. The mute bar, the stop video bar. Is there any way to hide that thing?

25:59

Not really. It's part of the Zoom. Okay, I'll just keep moving around. So exactly,

26:06

God knew what he was doing, where the frog would live and where to locate their eyes. Cody made these slides that if the eyes did not bulge, it would be like the frog on the left.

26:18

But God put the eyes where they can be comfortable and safe in the water and look around. I love this slide.

26:28

The frog can almost see 360 degrees around them. See that frog on the right?

26:37

Can his eyes see you if you're in this location? Yes, he could.

26:45

So you couldn't sneak up on that frog. His eyes give them the ability to see what's coming up from behind.

26:52

Oh, I made these slides today. I love this slide.

26:58

It's gross. I know, gross is cool though, isn't it? Well, frogs, in order to catch wet, slimy animals,

27:08

God gave them special spit. Very, very sticky spit.

27:15

Makes sense, right? Otherwise, that other animal would slide right off. So here's a question for the group.

27:25

The frog uses that sticky spit to catch the prey. But now that sticky spit might be hard to swallow the prey.

27:35

How did God assist the frog in swallowing things when it's got sticky spit on it?

27:42

I think it's like the woodpecker because that's the same thing. And he also put into their saliva something to dissolve the stickiness so that it doesn't stick in their throat.

27:55

It does dissolve, but God gave them another benefit on swallowing sticky stuff.

28:03

I have a pet frog. When I feed the frog, the frog pulls her eyes down.

28:20

And I read that it assists frogs with swallowing. Absolutely, you get 10 creation points.

28:28

The frog uses their eyes to help them swallow.

28:38

Can you believe it? What? That's really gross. Yeah. Can you say, praise the

28:45

Lord? Can I say, oh my gosh, that's icky? Praise the Lord, that's really gross.

28:51

I know it is, but I think it's fantastic. Those eyes can descend into its mouth and push it down its throat.

29:00

I would love to hear more comments about how awesome this is. Anybody like to share? I'm going to have a nightmare.

29:11

That is really disturbing. What's so cool is just that God, before you design something, you have to think about it.

29:27

Our creator God said, I'm going to make frogs. They're going to live where it's wet and sticky. I'll speak a new existence, sticky spit.

29:35

Well, how are they going to swallow it? Oh, I'll give them eyes that can push it along. What a wonderful God.

29:42

Any comments? Yeah, my comment is that... The eyes are looking in two different directions.

29:53

Well, it's funny because I often, when I see strange creatures,

29:59

I think when I get to heaven, I'm going to ask God, what was he thinking? I always say that too.

30:06

Angela, you were making a comment? Yeah, I was just going to be sexist here and say that's more proof

30:12

God is a father and not a goddess mother because no woman would design that. That is gross.

30:19

That's funny. And Carolyn, I missed what you said. Oh, the eyes are looking in two different directions inside the mouth.

30:29

Oh, they are. But I don't think he's looking at anything. I think he's just using it like a scraper.

30:36

Isn't he using his eyes just like something to force that down his throat? Push that delicious meal into its tummy.

30:44

Well, does he close the ends of the eyes? One of my strengths is my humility.

30:53

I would be guessing, but I would guess they have a lictating membrane, like a mask, that would cover the eye and protect it.

31:03

Like a falcon? Or a dog, even. Yes. Oh, I was thinking falcons.

31:10

Spock has an inner eyelid. Oh, Spock? Okay. All right.

31:17

Anyone else want to talk about the beautiful design? No, the next picture looks better. Do all the frogs have that feature?

31:26

I would be guessing. I do not know. But I know a lot of them do because it's all over the

31:33

Internet. And you guys can see beautiful videos of it on YouTube tonight. So look at that beautiful, what a beautiful color scheme.

31:45

You know, when I was in high school, I could not match colors, but God sure can. Can he not? So frogs can see color at night.

31:57

They have very, very beautifully designed eyes. Even though it's pitch black, they have the ability to see color.

32:05

Wait. Color is, there really is no color.

32:10

It's refracted. So they would be seeing light refracted to get the color. How is that possible?

32:16

I mean, when we see color, it's our eyes or possibly rain refracting the light.

32:23

And that's what causes the color. How would this frog see color at night when there is no light?

32:30

Somehow we can receive the wavelengths from the source. And anything beyond that, you'd have to ask

32:38

Cody, the kid who made these slides. Okay. I'm going to do my research. I didn't mean to try to stump you or anything.

32:46

Oh, no. I mean, if they can see color at night, that is pretty cool. And that's the kind of design that, you know, you could make virtual reality out of.

32:56

Anyways, I'm going to mute. You know what? Maybe in the future, people will be able to make glasses where we can see beautiful color at night.

33:04

Instead of just the infrared we can see now. Yeah, that would be awesome. I would say it has to do with wavelengths in some way.

33:15

All right. Who would like to read this first? Volunteer? Terry, would you force someone to volunteer, please?

33:20

I volunteer A. Thanks to the

33:26

Lord for he is good. For his steadfast love endures forever. Psalm 107. He is good.

33:35

Now, the next person who spoke, her name was Evelyn. Very nice young lady.

33:42

Okay, we will take guesses from the audience. Guess which animal has the most complex vision on planet

33:50

Earth. Go. Flies. Bee.

33:57

Bee is a good answer. But I'm going to say reptiles. Anyone else?

34:08

This is Rob from Victoria, Canada, saying hello. We have a lot of bald eagles around here, so I'll say eagle type of thing.

34:20

We are going to talk about bald eagles in a couple minutes.

34:26

Welcome, Rob. Well, I'm going to do it by my

34:31

Excel spreadsheet that I made one hour ago. Because on my daydreaming, I said, hey, this would be fun to have.

34:38

Humans have three photoreceptors. We can see our photoreceptors have red, blue, and green.

34:49

Dogs, which I feel is God's greatest creation, have two. Green and blue.

34:55

So, ha, we're better than the dogs. Birds have four photoreceptors.

35:02

Red, green, blue, and ultraviolet. Drumroll, please. Mantis shrimp has six.

35:11

A shrimp. And websites have said they have the most complex vision of anything.

35:21

A shrimp. Here is a chart on all the capabilities, the wavelengths for shrimp vision.

35:33

That kind of gives new meaning to the word seafood. Oh, whoo, that's good.

35:41

That's very good. There's no rim shot, but that would have been good for the rim shot. And, you know,

35:48

I'm glad they do. But isn't it fascinating that people get funded to study how shrimps can see?

35:57

It's really kind of mind boggling. I mean, yeah, this is great. With our tax dollar. Yes, this is our tax dollar at work.

36:06

But a lot of the designs by God, people are able to implement. And we're going to talk about that in the future in a little bit.

36:18

Look at that. Now, over millions and millions of years, chance and mutation and natural selection and environmental pressures not only made that beautiful organism.

36:31

Chance gave them eyes to do this. Years ago,

36:36

I did a mock debate as an evolutionist. I was the evolutionist. And I still remember

36:42

I felt so dirty. Everybody knew

36:48

I was a creationist, but I just felt like such a liar and a deceiver and not sharing the truth.

36:55

Can you guys relate to that? Yes. Every atom is a beautiful design.

37:07

There's that beautiful animal. And think of its brain. Its brain has to process all the information from those eyes.

37:18

I've heard it's easy sometimes to collect data. But then you got to process all that data.

37:25

Amen. Who would like to read this verse?

37:31

Volunteer. I volunteer, Tricia. He is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works within us.

37:45

Ephesians chapter 3, verse 20. That is a great verse for everyone who's going through a trial.

37:51

Amen. Ephesians 3. Next up was my son.

38:00

Daniel Morgan. That's your son? Does he look like that? Yeah, he used to do a lot of boxing and he wasn't very good at it.

38:09

That's how he looks right now. He couldn't take a punch.

38:15

Now my friend from Canada. Guess what my son talked about? Which animal? Boy, that's a tough one.

38:25

I really have no idea what that thing is. This isn't the animal. Believe me.

38:30

Oh, okay. I called on you for a reason. Oh, yeah. Well, the eagle then,

38:35

I guess. Yes. Which animal has the best eyesight? Great.

38:45

I love giving lessons like this because it makes me research.

38:51

Wait a minute, Bill. I thought the shrimp had the best eyesight. No, most complicated.

38:56

Oh, okay. The most complex. Okay. But the bald eagle sees the best.

39:03

So whoever said the birds, I guess that was Rob. Yeah. So he was right. They get five points.

39:11

Only five? Only five. Only five because the most complex was the shrimp.

39:19

But don't worry, you can cash them in later with Terry. Okay. So my son put together a bunch of slides that I enjoy.

39:27

And I'm a very visual person, so I like PowerPoint. Anyways, my son made these.

39:35

How much... The bald eagle can see five times better than you. Quiz time for the group.

39:44

Terry, do you want to call on a volunteer for the quiz? And there's no shame. Okay, I am going to call on Alpha Rat for the quiz.

39:54

Alpha Rat, how far away can an eagle be and see a rabbit? I'm going to guess two miles.

40:02

Very good. Three miles away. Three. Do you know how far three miles is?

40:11

Yeah. That's incredible that they can see a rabbit. Okay, next volunteer,

40:19

Terry. Oh, I volunteer Carolyn. Carolyn, how far away could a bald eagle see an ant on a sidewalk?

40:31

Well, maybe it can't see an ant. Well, according to my son's research, 100 feet away.

40:41

Oh. Isn't that great? So the ability for it to focus is just amazing.

40:47

Go ahead, Carolyn. I cut you off. No, I was just sighing because I was so far wrong.

40:55

Oh, what a great guy. The bald eagle can see more colors than us.

41:04

It can see ultraviolet light. And for those of you that get disgusted, this is for you.

41:12

So they can see urine and they can track prey. So if you were a rabbit and go to the bathroom, you better get away from what you just deposited.

41:24

Because this eagle can see the ultraviolet. It can see better in the dark than us.

41:31

But the human responds, we have high -speed internet. So we are the higher being because we have high -speed internet.

41:46

The eagle's eye is amazing because of the fovea. The fovea has rods and cones, which are photoreceptors.

41:59

Humans have, which is great, thank you, Lord, very much. Humans have 200 ,000 cones, which is a photoreceptor for color, per square millimeter.

42:16

Eagles have one million, five times the number of cones per square millimeter.

42:25

Now, here is a sincere question for the atheists that they would never answer. The question would be, did we evolve one cone?

42:35

And then have a mutation to evolve two cones? And then a mutation for three?

42:41

Or did we have one huge mutation that gave us 200 ,000 cones per square millimeter?

42:48

I would love to hear comments if that's a valid question. I think that's a very valid question.

42:59

And have you, in your research, found any atheists who attempted to answer that?

43:06

What do they come up with? In every topic of design,

43:12

I strike out in hearing any step -by -step explanation of how

43:19

A became B. I hear A became B, but not how did

43:25

A, you know what I mean? How did we go from zero cones to 200 ,000?

43:31

How did we go from meiosis to mitosis? They'll say, well, we evolved, but how?

43:38

And it's just a shame that they're lying to lots of innocent people who are believing it.

43:44

Sincerely believe in it because the experts told them. But how do you go from zero cones per square millimeter to 200 ,000?

43:55

Any comments on that? Seems like a good opportunity to share your faith in the chair of your eye exam.

44:04

Maybe after he takes his instruments out of your close vision, though.

44:11

Although my optometrist actually happens to be a supporter of the

44:17

ARC Encounter. A good witnessing opportunity.

44:23

Say you see an eye specialist. I always do this. I'll ask them, what's the most number one amazing thing about the eye?

44:34

They will almost always laugh and enjoy the question because it's their career. And they'll say, oh, there's so many.

44:42

Well, could you name one thing that's amazing? And I asked an older woman from India, she was my doctor.

44:50

And she said that the blood supply to the eye is through one capillary.

44:57

And I asked her, do you think something like that's a design or the result of chance? And she instantly said, oh, that's a design.

45:04

So ask them the most amazing thing about your foot, your heart, your eye.

45:10

And then politely ask them if they think it's a design. And I believe most doctors do.

45:17

It's the philosophers in the college that are bullying this evolution more than the hands -on scientists.

45:25

Any comments on that? Yeah, Rob here again from Canada.

45:32

My wife's a pediatric physical therapist and she goes to a lot of conferences. And the presenters who, by and large, are not

45:40

Christians, inevitably when they're talking about the human body and how certain systems work, use the word design.

45:49

It was designed this way. But yet they're non -believers. They just default to that word because, well, in essence,

45:57

I guess it's obviously designed, but they won't believe it. Even though they use that word.

46:03

They co -opt their word. But they don't cop to believing in a designer.

46:10

They'll use the word design, but not believe there was a designer. I actually did this a couple of weeks ago when

46:17

I was seeing a natural provider. And he was saying, it's just amazing how well -designed our bodies are.

46:26

Something to that effect. And then in a separate sentence, like maybe the very next sentence, he said something about how we evolved this way.

46:36

And I said, okay, I don't mean to pick on you, but you have to choose one.

46:41

You can't say both. So if it's designed, somebody designed it.

46:48

But if we evolved, then it's by chance. So pick one.

46:53

You're on the fence. In my different lessons, I stand next to somebody,

47:00

I say, I might get hit by lightning, but if I do, this person is going to get hit too. I say, even

47:07

God himself with an IQ of infinity could not have created by evolution.

47:16

What did God create first, the nervous system or the circulatory system? The skeletal or the digestive?

47:25

You follow me? They all rely on each other. God cannot build the human body step by step by step by step.

47:34

The only way to create a living human body is how, everybody? Instantly.

47:43

Instantaneous. Yes, yes. So God himself with an IQ of infinity couldn't build through evolution.

47:52

Nature with an IQ of zero sure cannot build through evolution. So you can't be riding a horse in two different directions.

48:04

Instant creation makes all the sense in the world. So any more comments on that? I'm not sure.

48:14

I would say that God couldn't do it. I mean, if he wanted to, but it wouldn't make any sense for him to do it that way.

48:22

Well, if suppose he can do what he wants, but yeah. But if he designed a nervous system and there's no circulatory system, what do you got?

48:31

Yeah, no. See, he knows better. You got a pile of nerves laying around doing nothing. Yeah.

48:40

The only way you make a living system is how God taught us in Genesis chapter one and two.

48:50

Everybody loves God, right? Amen. So exciting. The eye of a 20 pound eagle weighs as much as the eye of a 200 pound human.

49:02

They got a big eye for their weight. That's amazing. Yes, it is.

49:10

And there's Thurman Thomas, former Buffalo Bill, one of my favorite players. So some facts my son provided.

49:19

Not only did God design the eye, he designed ways to protect the eye. He thought of everything.

49:26

All of us, we have bones that protect our eyes. It's very hard to actually, not impossible to hit your eye because God puts bones to protect the eye.

49:38

And it also protects it from the sun. All kinds of hair and bristles to protect us from the eye.

49:47

There's your nictating membrane that keeps it clean like a windshield wiper. Oops, sorry.

49:55

And then there's the vision of the eye. But if you have a flat hand, you can't hit your eyeball, right?

50:04

Imagine if our eyes were on the tip of the nose, we'd all be blind by now from the damage. But our nose also protects our eyes.

50:11

But that's the human lesson. Any comments on that? The nose on the animals doesn't protect their eyes?

50:21

Absolutely. Yes, yes. But humans too and the beaks on the bird that protects the eye.

50:31

He thought of everything. If the other one didn't give you a nightmare, maybe this one will.

50:40

If our eyes were located like an eagle, they would be way back towards the ear.

50:46

And the next slide talks about that. Our eyes are located where we have a field of vision of about 180 degrees.

50:58

The eagle by its location of the eye is about 270 degrees.

51:04

Okay. Another nice design feature. Terri, could you volunteer someone for that nice, short, beautiful verse?

51:23

I think we lost Terri. Yes, we did. So I am going to pick on Diane yet again.

51:34

Diane? Yeah, it takes me a while to find the little microphone thing.

51:40

Great is the Lord and highly to be praised. Psalm 145 .3.

51:46

He is glorified with the bald eagle eye, is he not? Our next speaker is a fascinating young lady.

51:56

She was adopted as a child from China. And she is such a strong creationist.

52:05

She's brilliant. Maybe someday you'll have her as a speaker. Her name is

52:11

Holiday Pettigrew. She's spoken for us many times. And she talked about this animal.

52:17

Which one is it? The nasty fly.

52:23

Yes, the nasty, hated fly. But I'm going to be quiet like Vince Scully, the baseball announcer.

52:32

Just look at those eyes for a moment. They kind of look like golf balls.

52:43

They do. But look at the pattern of the lenses. Is it random and scattered?

52:50

Or is it orderly, beautiful? What do you guys think?

52:58

It kind of looks like disco lights. Definitely ordered with a pattern.

53:07

God designed every one. And look at how you can look in three different directions.

53:12

And they all have symmetry or flow. I don't know what the right word would be.

53:17

You see what I mean? You can go right to left. Northwest to southeast.

53:24

Northeast to southwest. I'd love to hear more. Go ahead.

53:30

It kind of reminds me of, you know, in retail stores, the cameras, like I worked for a major retailer one time for several years.

53:39

And the security cameras that are in the ceilings are round globes.

53:46

You know, like semi -circle little globes. Because then the camera can be hidden in there and look in all the directions.

53:54

And it was pretty fascinating because they've made them where they can see as detailed as like when a cashier prints out the receipt, they can read the receipts.

54:06

And not all of the cameras go to the in -store security. Some of them go to headquarters and some of them go to India.

54:13

So somebody's always watching. But I think that's a good example of biomimicry where they've modeled it after the fly or other animals.

54:25

Very good point. I'm glad you shared that. I'm sorry.

54:32

Could you repeat that? Well, I think AlphaRat didn't mean for us to hear him.

54:39

Oh, okay. Okay. No problem. If every human being devoted their work efforts on the entire planet to design and build a living fly with vision, digestive, reproductive, do you think all 8 billion of us could build and design a living fly?

55:04

Well, I got to tell you, they are getting very close to, you know, the biomimicry is very well produced now.

55:15

They're going towards transhumanism. But could we make it like God? No. No. We can make a flying object that can see and react.

55:25

We can copy. Yeah, we can make copies or we can, you know, try to duplicate it, but it's never as good as the original.

55:37

And what's tragic, in a way, is I'm with you. If I see a fly in my house, it's war.

55:43

I want to kill it. But look at those beautiful eyes that we want to destroy and damage.

55:52

To building a fly, we could make the machinery, but we couldn't give it life. We could not make it alive.

55:59

We could not give it free will. Yeah, we couldn't give it a soul or anything like that.

56:05

But what I'm saying is, Jeff, is that biomimicry, as Terry had mentioned before, is a reality.

56:12

And we do, you know, copy God's design quite a bit. But it will never be as good and we can never create life.

56:20

Well, I mean, we create life with babies, but on our own. We've got the elections coming up.

56:28

And one of the propositions concerns something to do with...

56:38

Oh, I forget what it is. There are people who have kidney failure and they have to go on a kidney machine.

56:45

Oh, the stem cell. Prop 29. It has dialysis,

56:51

I believe. It's Prop 29. But if you ever look at those machines, those machines are bigger than a living room.

56:59

You know, how does that compare to the size of your kidney? Yeah, that was something that came up.

57:08

You remember a few weeks ago with Dr. Lyle, too, that we talked about how even though we can appreciate the things that, you know, like somebody who has a prosthetic limb, you know, we're so thankful that we have the technology to be able to create that.

57:25

But at the same time, they would tell you that it's not the same thing as having the actual. Our biomimicry, they won't be able to reproduce, gather their own food, heal injuries.

57:39

But the housefly that we all despise, what a beautiful set of eyes, huh? Each eye.

57:48

I know you can read. Oh, and my PowerPoint, I'll make available for you guys if you want to use it in any way you want.

57:55

No copyright whatsoever. Each eye has 4000 lenses. And here's a drawing of what they look like.

58:06

Maybe over millions of years, this could happen by chance, right? That's nonsense.

58:15

I'll give you 600 trillion years, you're not going to get one atom to form by chance, much less this.

58:21

But really, what a sad life to really promote this happened by chance. I understand people could have gone through a lot of suffering and be mad at God.

58:31

I really do understand that. But to lie and say this is the result, the chance is inexcusable.

58:38

Any comments on that? I have a comment.

58:43

A lot of people. You know, when it comes to insects, especially the fly, and I've said it too, like, why on earth did

58:53

God curse us with flies? But then you think about this and look at what an amazing design we can copy and use for biomedicine.

59:05

Holy barking. My favorite theory is he created them to harass

59:14

Pharaoh, and now we're stuck with them. But flies do,

59:21

I don't know what mosquitoes do, but flies do a service. What is it? They annoy you.

59:30

Does anybody have a dog? They're the earth of unwanted waste.

59:37

Yep, they're garbage men. If you have a dog, you know what flies do. Of course, it's disgusting, but they clean up the backyard a little bit.

59:48

You know, rotted meat, they clean up. But anyways, he sure gave them good eyes, huh?

59:57

Oh, Holiday is such a blessing. I hope someday you guys meet her. These are her slides.

01:00:03

They have no pupils. They can't focus and can't move. How about this?

01:00:09

Each of the lenses is an individual eye with a tiny field of vision.

01:00:16

And so these are all the different images that would go to a fly's brain.

01:00:23

And that tiny little brain interpolates all these images. Here's a zoom in.

01:00:33

My internet cable is unstable. So that'll give me nightmares just thinking about that.

01:00:43

They can almost see at 360 degrees. They are exceptional at detecting movement.

01:00:50

You guys know the joy of trying to swat a fly, right? Does anybody here know what a horse fly or a cow fly is?

01:01:01

I grew up in Wisconsin. Yes, I know. Please share with us some stories.

01:01:07

Oh, they're huge. And they fixate on something. And you can't deter them.

01:01:14

And they make a loud noise. Bites. Yes, and they bite.

01:01:20

Thank you. Do you remember if they were incredibly quick if you try to swat them?

01:01:27

No, the bigger ones I think were easier to kill. It's that house fly that's impossible to kill.

01:01:35

Well, years ago in New York State, I worked at a construction site. And we kept getting bit by these horse flies.

01:01:42

I killed one the whole summer. They were so quick. We had permission with each other to swat them if they were on somebody else's back.

01:01:52

But as I recall, they were the quickest little things in the world. I can kill house flies pretty good, but I only killed one the whole summer.

01:02:02

But that was no fun watching a horse fly bite each other. Any other horse fly stories?

01:02:11

Yeah, we have them here. I'm in Nebraska. And one will come in and bite, whether it's you or an animal or whatever.

01:02:19

And that brings them all on like a cloud. They prick you to get the blood, and then they'll all just swarm in.

01:02:28

And they are really fast over here too. Oh, those poor animals out in the field, huh?

01:02:36

Yeah, it's pretty bad. So they draw blood and then they can smell?

01:02:43

Yeah, it seems to be because just one will land on. And when it manages to bite and you can see the blood coming out, then they'll just swarm on from everywhere.

01:02:54

It's really bad. Wow, terrible. All right. So their little brains receive updates 250 times per second.

01:03:09

Some 400. I know you can read. Or our eyes update. I like that only 60 times per second.

01:03:19

So they collect and process data even faster than we do. That's something.

01:03:29

So they have simple, practical vision, and they decompose the dead. She said, these are her words, not meant to be welcome company.

01:03:41

Here's a Bible verse that you don't read in church every Sunday. Who would like to read this one? I can't see everybody that's there.

01:03:54

Who wants to Rob Perry? I sort of knew that once I said something that somehow

01:04:04

I'd get selected for something, but that's just fine. I don't have to call on you, but you know, you know, that's just fine.

01:04:13

Don't worry. I'm just giving you a hard time as dead flies. Give perfume a bad smell.

01:04:19

So a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor. Ecclesiastes 10 one.

01:04:25

Not a great verse. And as you can see, she says, fly in the ointment.

01:04:31

Does it really give it a bad smell? You'd have to ask Rob. He's from Victoria.

01:04:39

I have no idea. Well, actually, we're right up on the ocean here. So we don't have many flies, but I'm originally from the prairies in Saskatchewan, and we had lots of flies, mosquitoes and horse flies out there.

01:04:53

Since I moved to Victoria 15 years ago, I've only been bitten by a mosquito maybe twice in 15 years.

01:05:00

Wow. That's incredible. One thing my wife likes about me is

01:05:06

I don't like perfume. Makes me sneeze. But go ahead, Rob. Sorry. Oh, I was just going to say

01:05:12

I did learn one thing out here since I moved out here that, you know, we have that question.

01:05:18

Why? Just like flies. Why in the world would God allow mosquitoes? And, of course, we attribute it to the fall usually.

01:05:26

And then I learned that mosquitoes actually, if there's no animals or humans around to suck their blood, they actually live on the sap of trees.

01:05:37

Hmm. Huh. I didn't know that. They pollinate, huh? That's interesting.

01:05:44

Yeah, I know. I was quite surprised by it. But yeah. So there you go. Hey, look at that.

01:05:49

I taught everyone something. Oh, lots of good. Future speaker, Terry, right there.

01:05:58

Now, I asked Holiday. I love goofy questions like who decided to call it the fly?

01:06:06

How come bats aren't called flies? How come butterflies aren't called fly?

01:06:11

A fly. Was that like the end of the day and they had to come up with a name? But anyways,

01:06:17

Holiday did her research. And she said the definition of fly or rat.

01:06:23

First, any winged insect was called the fly. And then the true fly came around 950

01:06:30

AD, which were flies and mosquitoes. And I only learned this today, everybody.

01:06:39

It's distinguished by its use of halteres or halteres. If I mispronounce that, forgive me.

01:06:46

Have you guys ever heard of those? Halteres? Look at that.

01:06:53

There they are. What is that though? I mean, is it a bee? No, it's a fly.

01:06:59

Oh, that's a fly. But many insects have those. They counter the torque of the wings quite often to stabilize its flight.

01:07:13

It's just an incredible design by an incredible God to help it have a nice stable flight.

01:07:21

Question? Sure. Question. If these flying insects are called flies, why aren't ants called walks?

01:07:36

That was just a joke. That's very good. Very good. All right. So, again,

01:07:45

I would never have even heard of these things except being invited to speak to your group. I never knew they had those little balances for flight.

01:07:54

How could that evolve? And even if it did evolve, it's got to go to the brain. The brain's got to process all that flight information.

01:08:02

How great thou art. Isn't it easy to be humble to God when you know this kind of stuff, everybody? And what happened before it evolved?

01:08:11

Were they all flying? Did they look like they were drunk or something? No, they were walks before they were flies.

01:08:22

What a great God. That's delightful. Just look at the design of those wings. The structural, light, strong.

01:08:31

What a beautiful God we serve. And that's her goodbye. Bye -bye, pesky fly.

01:08:37

All right. We're in the home stretch. What is a predator, anybody? Something that has a prey.

01:08:49

That stalks a prey. They stalk the prey. Do they have different eyes?

01:08:56

Well, the bald eagle is a predator and they have amazing eyes. They have the best vision.

01:09:03

Yep. Predator and prey have different eyes. Predator eyes are like this.

01:09:12

Prey eyes are like this. How are they different? Well, the prey can see further around to protect themselves.

01:09:29

Isn't that? Or am I? Yeah. Absolutely. You get six creation points.

01:09:35

Well, to be fair, you and I did talk about this before. Now look in front of them.

01:09:41

What do you think the advantage of the predator is in front? Depth perception. Exactly.

01:09:48

They focus better and they have better depth perception or the prey can see all around it. Today, when

01:09:55

I was daydreaming about this lesson, when I was young, there were no computers, but I loved chess.

01:10:03

I would sometimes play chess against myself, but it didn't work out really well.

01:10:09

But think what God did. God created predators with advantages, but God created prey with advantages.

01:10:17

But I would say neither one of them has an overwhelming advantage. Why not?

01:10:27

They can't see behind. Well, it's in nature. What I mean is suppose God designed the predators to be a million times better than the prey.

01:10:37

Right. There would be no balance. Right. Right. Sorry.

01:10:43

Go ahead. Well, go ahead. I was going to take it a little different spin and point out that originally he made us all of them included.

01:10:53

There were no predators. We all ate fruits and vegetables. Yeah. We were plant eaters to begin with.

01:11:02

So some questions about the creation and whether it was subsequent.

01:11:10

In other words, why and at what point did he design them with this advantage?

01:11:18

That make sense? Yeah. Yeah. What she's saying, Bill, is that as, you know, as the curse were on and the predators were created and there was prey that adaptation,

01:11:31

I guess, is, is, you know, the prey adapted to what they needed to do.

01:11:39

And the, the predator did and the prey adapted with it because of the curse.

01:11:45

So that was more, that was more question whether or not it was adaptation or original design.

01:11:51

I know you can't really answer that. I, my best guess is

01:11:56

I, well, I think I've asked this group this before. Do you guys think God knew

01:12:01

Adam and Eve would fall? Absolutely. I do too.

01:12:07

And that allows free will and free will created in predator and prey and fall and sin and suffering.

01:12:17

So your answer would be that this was original design and not later adaptation then? Yes. I do think

01:12:24

God designed them for a fallen world. Thank you.

01:12:29

That's just my best guess. But still there's a balance where the prey can reproduce a lot more and still have a shot.

01:12:37

But it's just fun to daydream about this and be humble at the same time.

01:12:43

And because nobody pays money for a sporting event if they know who's going to win.

01:12:49

So it's not interesting to watch a fight between a prey and a predator if one of them always has the upper hand.

01:12:57

That's true. That's true. That's funny. That's very funny. All right.

01:13:02

Here's a poem for everybody. Eyes in front. I hunt.

01:13:08

Isn't that a beautiful animal? Eyes inside. I hide.

01:13:15

You guys like that? Like that. We love it. I love this.

01:13:22

This might be one of my favorite parts of the whole lesson. The sheep on the left is bending over to eat grass.

01:13:29

Look at its pupil. What direction is the pupil? To the earth.

01:13:36

Horizontal. Right. Parallel to the earth, you could say, too. The one on the right is standing up.

01:13:44

What is the iris in relation to the earth? Also parallel.

01:13:51

People, this is so incredibly cool. Their pupil is always parallel to the earth.

01:14:00

Is there a reason for that? Yes. I want you to give me the answer why. If they bent over to eat and that pupil went at a 45 degree angle, is it helping them?

01:14:14

They have a wider field of vision with their pupil horizontal to the ground.

01:14:20

Absolutely. Does everybody see that? Yes. They always have a wide field of vision because their eye is like a gyroscope.

01:14:29

Isn't that the coolest? Well, maybe not the coolest, but one of the coolest things you've ever heard. What's cool about them is they don't use their eyes to push their food in.

01:14:43

Good point. It's always parallel to the ground, even though their head might rotate. The same with the horse.

01:14:52

One horse's head is up. I'm sorry, the pupil is parallel. Bounce down.

01:14:58

Still parallel. Here's a little drawing for you guys.

01:15:04

If you're thinking of a cool tattoo, this might be a good one. I'm just kidding. We do not recommend tattoos.

01:15:13

But Jesus had one in Revelation 1916. No. Read it.

01:15:21

No, I am not a tattoo person. Revelation 1916.

01:15:29

Just a complete side note. I gave each child a sum of money when they turned 18, and I said, if you ever get a tattoo, you've got to pay me back.

01:15:40

None of them have gotten a tattoo, but it stays parallel to the ground.

01:15:48

Who would like to sing this praise? I don't sing.

01:15:55

I won't sing, but I'll read it. Sing to him, sing psalms to him, talk you of all his wondrous works.

01:16:02

1 Chronicles 16 .9. Very good. Quiz time.

01:16:10

Why is this beneficial in regard to the sun? It's kind of covered because it's down, so the sun isn't shining right in there.

01:16:25

You can even see the sunlight on his eye, or her, who knows. It's just so much benefit to have it parallel to the earth.

01:16:36

So, Bill, if I may ask a question, would you say that rather than a circular vision like we would have and are being able to see out, is theirs more horizontal?

01:16:49

Is that the idea? I would say for them, yes, because their predators are probably going to come to them from a horizontal location.

01:16:59

Yeah, but they wouldn't see, like we've got our field of vision, as you said, is 180 degrees each way, but it's also sort of 180 degrees up and down.

01:17:10

Would theirs not be 180 degrees up and down, I wonder? That's a great question.

01:17:17

My guess is that the birds are not a threat to them, and so God designed them for land threats.

01:17:24

Interesting. Great thought. Unless you have a really big eagle. Okay. Pterodactyl.

01:17:33

Okay, I'm going to rip through a few more slides. True or false, your dog can see better than you in the dark?

01:17:40

True. Probably, yes. Look at that. Eye shine.

01:17:45

The reason it's called a tapetum, it's a mirror behind their retinas. Your light goes through your retina once.

01:17:54

With them, it goes through the retina, hits the mirror, and goes back out. This beautiful dog is getting twice the benefit of the same amount of light at night.

01:18:07

If you went back to Saskatchewan and Grandma said, hey, get some firewood in the basement, you open the door, and you see two green lights looking at you, would you open the door?

01:18:19

No, I don't think so. Or you wouldn't go down, that's for sure. Yes, you'd find out if it was your dog or not.

01:18:26

Yes. Next question. Who has eye shine, predators or prey?

01:18:34

It's got to be predators. Predators. They're looking for stuff. They get twice the benefit, as this animal is, as it's looking for a meal.

01:18:46

Guess what animal, well, first, do you think that's an eye? Looks like it.

01:18:55

I would have to guess. I would have to guess, yes. It is. It's an eye lesson. That's the eye of a moth.

01:19:04

Is a moth prey or a predator? Prey. The predators reflect light out of their eyes.

01:19:15

Guess what moths do with their light in their eyes? They absorb it.

01:19:23

Moths absorb all the light into their eyes. They reflect nothing. And they also get eaten by flames.

01:19:30

That's why they just go to your light bulbs, right, in your house and things like that. Outdoor lights, they kind of gravitate to that.

01:19:38

I am not sure. I thought they, I've heard theories on that, like they think it's the moon or something and they're migrating.

01:19:46

I'm not 100 % sure. But here's an electron microscope image of their eyes.

01:19:53

They all absorb the light. And guess who is going to benefit from the science of moth eyes?

01:20:05

It is inspiring research in solar panels and cell phones.

01:20:11

People are researching moth eyes to find ways to absorb all the light.

01:20:19

And there's a future where you could take your PC to the beach on a sunny day and see the screen perfectly.

01:20:29

Because your screen will be absorbing all the light. Oh, yes. But that runs your battery down.

01:20:38

Well, but your cell phone, et cetera. So this is...

01:20:43

No, your batteries. Sorry, your batteries run down because it's projecting light so we can see.

01:20:50

It's actually lighting. That's why when your screen is on, your battery runs down. Because it's creating light so that we can see it.

01:20:57

So he's saying it will absorb light. So we'll have a better battery life. Oh, interesting.

01:21:04

Solar panels, of course, if they absorb light, you produce more energy.

01:21:12

What is that? Crocodile eye. Obviously, to make these lessons,

01:21:19

I actually do research. And I see these all the time. Crocodile eyes are a what?

01:21:26

Engineering marvel. That means you need an engineer. These articles talk about design all over the place, but they're either intimidated or brainwashed and not giving glory to God.

01:21:39

Oh, you won't find a more secular institution than the Smithsonian. Yeah.

01:21:48

But, Bill, we're already four minutes over time. Okay. I'll go real quick. This is a crocodile eye.

01:21:54

It can retract. My first thought was, come on, God, the thing's got the teeth, the strength, the muscles.

01:22:02

Can't the prey have any chance? But anyways. So it's protecting if they get in a fight.

01:22:08

So the crocodile eye goes up and down. The goat eye goes horizontal. One's predator, one's prey.

01:22:14

And we talked about that, that the predator can focus better and see distance where the prey can see more.

01:22:23

Here are rat eyes. I'll go real quick. Rats can look down in one direction and up in another direction.

01:22:31

With the same eye or with the two different eyes. That does look a little like Jeff, though, doesn't it?

01:22:40

So the rat can look for birds and look for food by rotating its eyes independently at the same time, like an iguana.

01:22:49

The early bird catches the worm, but the second rat gets the cheese.

01:23:00

So there is an advantage to sleeping in and let the other guy look for the cheese first, right? Stereoscopic vision.

01:23:10

That allows us to have depth perception. Very complex design. And we'll press on because of time.

01:23:19

What eye destroys the theory of evolution? This one. What is that?

01:23:26

The trilobite eye. Evolutionists, do they teach simple to complex?

01:23:35

Or complex to simple over time? Simple to complex.

01:23:42

Yeah. Right. Or they don't teach anything. They just lie a lot. They teach simple to complex over time.

01:23:52

Guess where the most complex eye on the human planet ever existed is?

01:23:59

In the fossil record for the trilobite. That's at the very bottom of the fossil record.

01:24:06

Indicating the original sort of things evolved beyond that.

01:24:14

Exactly. The most complex eye shows up suddenly, according to the evolutionists, 520 million years ago.

01:24:23

But their whole theory is simple to complex. The fossils that they love show complex started off right off the bat.

01:24:33

Does that make sense? Oh, yeah. You can't challenge them on that because they have no answer.

01:24:40

They'll just be like, oh, well, you were raised in a Christian home, so that's why you believe that.

01:24:47

And this is their own words. The trilobite eyes developed into the most complex attachment ever to see.

01:24:55

There's their own quote. Completely falsifies the theory of evolution. Where we think

01:25:01

God made the trilobite eye the same time he made the fish eye etc. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

01:25:12

In closing, when I evangelize, I ask people this. If I had a pile of Legos, do you think nature in 600 trillion years could build a

01:25:24

Lego castle? No. If you want to build a Lego castle, you need intelligence.

01:25:32

It needs information. Eyes are more complex than a Lego castle.

01:25:38

You need intelligence to build an eye, and that's God. For in six days, the

01:25:44

Lord made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them and rested on the seventh day. The end.

01:25:53

Sorry I ran late, but any comments or questions or anything? You always run late,

01:26:00

Bill. We expected it, so thank you very much. Let's open it up to questions.

01:26:05

We should turn off the live stream. Before we turn off the live stream, let's have

01:26:13

Bill remind everybody how they can find him. My YouTube channel is

01:26:18

Bill Morgan Science and God. My phone number, if anybody wants to call me, is 714 -362 -898 -8331.

01:26:33

Okay. You still have a website, right? FishDon'tWalk .com?

01:26:39

There's another one, ApesMakeApes .com. Okay. I do confess it's way behind.

01:26:47

It needs upgrades. People can use those resources to get in touch with you if they want a copy of your slides too.

01:26:54

Is that what you said? Would you like me to email them to you? Yeah, go ahead and email it to me.

01:27:01

Then, if anybody on the call or that want a copy of the slideshow, I will send it to them.

01:27:08

It's creationfellowshipsanti .gmail .com. I control the email. If you email me,

01:27:14

I will send it to you. With that, that is our email address. If you have any questions or if you want to get on our email list so that you don't miss any of our upcoming speakers.

01:27:25

Again, we have two more speakers left for this season. Next week, we'll have Brian Lauer with us on the title of Prepared for the

01:27:33

Battle about the World Economic Forum. The week after that, we have Pastor Tom Lee coming to talk to us about repentance and our need for it and how to encourage our friends and family to repent before it's too late.

01:27:49

With that, you can also find our past videos, links to our past videos, by typing in tinyurl .com

01:27:57

forward slash C like creation, F like fellowship, and Santi is spelled S -A -N -T -E -E.

01:28:03

Bill, thank you so much for tonight. This has been really great. As usual, it's great to hear fun facts about God's creative design and how there's just no way that it could have come together by chance.

01:28:17

Thank you again for your time and for sharing that with us. Thank you for the opportunity. I was richly blessed.

01:28:24

All right. Go ahead. Was there any questions in YouTube or Facebook? On Facebook?

01:28:30

No, no questions on Facebook. Okay. I'm going to stop the live stream. Okay. Then, Joyce, you can stop the recording.
