3:52
don't believe in the flood today because they don't have access to the accurate information.
3:58
And evidences that are there.
4:00
They are simply captive to entertainment, social media.
4:06
There you have movies like Noah that in a very fictional and nonsensical way distorts the
4:13
And for many people, that's the only source they have for something they think is a biblical account.
4:18
We have, of course, the whole embedded presupposition of evolution and the geologic
4:24
column and all of these things which tell students as they come along that the earth has existed for
4:30
millions if not billions of years, that man is a product simply of natural succession.
4:36
A flood is a supernatural event.
4:39
A flood is a divine judgment.
4:41
A flood destroyed mankind.
4:44
And they're not told that there are evidences of these things.
4:47
They aren't shown the historicity of Genesis to say that this holds up very well
4:53
in terms of our scientific age.
4:56
So it's simply, on the one hand, a lack of information, and then on the other hand, the.
5:01
For the same reason that they don't believe in a lot of the things that the Bible says are literally true, literally history, and literally
5:07
science, the fear of looking silly, and the intimidation by people who host science television
5:13
shows and wear white lab coats.
5:16
I think it's really that they're afraid of appearing silly in any way.
5:20
But when you actually go past the surface and look at the feasibility of it and the
5:26
historicity of it, it's almost inescapably plausible.
5:31
Conventional scientists, the secular scientists, think that the present is the key to the past.
5:36
The Bible, in fact, tells us that the past is the key to the present.
5:40
And the flood is key to understanding why the world is the way it is today, not just the geology, but even the
5:47
Understanding the ark and the flood is very relevant to understanding why the world is the way it is today, how we
5:54
Everyone is interested in their history, and the flood is key to understanding our roots.
6:00
In the early 19th century, when the idea of millions of years was developed, it developed as
6:06
a result of a conscious rejection of the flood and the biblical chronology.
6:11
Most of the church came to the conclusion that the flood wasn't global, it wasn't really geologically
6:17
significant, the age of the earth doesn't matter.
6:20
And so over the next 100, 150 years, the flood was just kind of forgotten.
6:26
And it still, in large measure today, is ignored by most Christians.
6:30
They just never think of it and its relationship to the question of the age of the earth.
6:35
But it's critically important.
6:37
We can go back and we can see in the fossil record, for example, what happened.
6:42
When we look at the world around us, when we look at all of those hundreds and hundreds of rock layers, they're sedimentary layers, that means
6:48
they were laid down by water.
6:49
The flood is a reminder that God judges sin.
6:52
And God said he's going to judge the world again.
6:54
He sent the flood to punish evil at that time.
6:57
And that's why God sent the flood.
7:00
It's important to punish evil.
7:07
The reason the ark is so amazingly relevant in the flood is because man's sin
7:16
The Bible clearly reveals that we are now approaching the time when the second global judgment will
7:23
If we don't understand or believe in the first global judgment, then we will not be ready for
7:29
this final global judgment.
7:32
So the consequences of the next judgment could not possibly be more relevant.
7:37
What is at stake is heaven or hell.
7:46
The Holy Bible, a book inspired and
7:52
architected by God and written by his people, dating back to the
7:57
beginning of real human history, from the time of man's true origins.
8:04
A book that teaches us that the earth is not millions of years old, as we've been brought up to believe.
8:11
A book teaching us that we did not come from monkeys or apes or primordial soup,
8:18
but a book that instead shows us our creator is a loving,
8:27
A God who created a beautiful world in which the entire planet was once a paradise.
8:34
A paradise that he gave to us to fill up and multiply across.
8:41
In Genesis, we're shown that God had finished all of creation in six
8:47
literal days and that indeed everything he had created was
9:11
In the span of four days, God was finished with the heavens.
9:18
And it was on the fifth day that he began making the sea creatures both great
9:26
And on that very same day, he also made all of the exotic flying creatures
9:34
which flew through the open firmament of the beautiful heaven.
9:42
On the sixth day, he made all of the majestic land creatures,
9:48
which included all of the dinosaurs, along with mankind.
9:55
He also planted a garden and in the midst of it, the tree of life.
10:03
But there was another tree God had also placed in the garden, one that God commanded
10:15
Mankind used their free will to sin against their holy and righteous God.
10:20
With free will comes consequences.
10:23
And in this case, the consequences of sin would plunge mankind into darkness.
10:32
Before the fall, God saw everything that he had made and was very good.
10:36
It was just the way it should have been.
10:39
It came forth exactly as he intended.
10:42
At the end of Genesis 1, it says it was very good.
10:44
God looked at everything he had made and it was very good.
10:48
And we get some idea of how good it was in the last three verses when
10:54
God says that both man and the animals and birds were vegetarian.
10:59
They didn't eat each other.
11:00
They ate the plants and the fruit of the plants.
11:03
That's telling us a lot about how very good the world was.
11:07
Creation was in a state of innocence.
11:10
This affirms a fundamental element of God's character.
11:15
God is not the author of evil or death.
11:17
God came into the garden.
11:19
He had fellowship with man and they could actually communicate with him and see him.
11:25
According to the way we understand the pre -fall condition.
11:29
They would have lived forever.
11:30
God warned him beforehand, if you eat from this, you're going to die.
11:36
God told Adam, you're going to die.
11:37
God said from dust, you came into dust, you shall return.
11:40
So that's physical death.
11:42
Through one man, sin entered the world and death through sin.
11:46
Adam and Eve began to die physically.
11:48
The fall of man affected the whole creation.
11:53
The whole creation is groaning in bondage to corruption.
11:59
Sadly, the reality of the fall is now easily seen wherever we look.
12:04
In this broken world, we see pervasive death, violence, corruption, lies, hate, and sin.
12:10
Man is exiled from the place of God's own presence.
12:15
And that fellowship is not restored as it was.
12:18
Man is going to have to labor by the sweat of his brow.
12:21
And then he will return to the dust from which he was made.
12:25
That is what has happened to the world.
12:29
The whole idea that things are subject to decay, dissolution, finally death.
12:35
The whole world is like this.
12:37
It has a limited shelf life, so to speak.
12:39
It changed the world profoundly.
12:42
Pretty much everything was corrupted.
12:44
The human soul, even the creatures were suddenly carnivorous or poisonous.
12:50
Diseases and viruses emerged that were otherwise benign.
12:54
It just radically changed everything.
12:57
Plants suddenly became weeds and choked out the crops.
13:01
Thorns and thistles began to grow.
13:03
We don't live in the original very good creation.
13:06
We live in a fallen creation, a cursed creation.
13:09
The fall was a massive, catastrophic, world -changing event.
13:15
So everything was corrupted.
13:17
It was a tragedy on the highest possible level.
13:21
Evil had to mature before God unleashed the first judgment.
13:32
The Lord God had made a beautiful world in which everything was
13:41
But when the first man broke God's command, man's domain was plunged into sin and death,
13:49
which only grew worse with the progression of time.
13:54
And it was not just men who had been corrupted, but all under man's dominion.
14:01
Animals became carnivores and turned on each other.
14:06
And man, where once the earth had been filled with God's goodness,
14:12
now was filled with the celebration of evil and endless violence.
14:22
Paradise, along with man's innocence, was now gone.
14:49
Lord Jesus would tell us later that just as in the days of Noah,
14:56
so too would the world become again just before his return.
15:48
Flood geologists point out that the world, the earth, had a more global, warm,
15:55
And the evolutionists believe that too.
15:57
It's not just because of continental drift that we find pine tree forest and dinosaur fossils
16:05
Not just because those continents were once in different places, but because the earth had a warmer, milder,
16:13
Heavier, lusher vegetation.
16:16
Greener, thicker forest that stretched further towards the poles and away from the
16:23
Right now, we just don't have the kinds of forests that could generate the coal deposits that we have or
16:30
The vast source for the carbon that would have
16:36
been necessary for the coal seams that we have today, we would have had to have had a lusher, warmer,
16:42
more forested, more vegetated earth.
16:45
Clearly, the amount of vegetation in the pre -flood world was far superior, far more
16:52
Today's world is a desert by comparison to what the pre -flood world would have been like.
16:57
A much gentler topography, a much easier climate, much more prolific vegetation and animal
17:04
We have many creatures in the fossil record that are just like today, but they were much larger.
17:09
So, giantism in the fossil record, that indicates that the pre -flood world was much more
17:15
suitable for biological life.
17:17
Originally, at least, it wouldn't have had impassable mountain ranges.
17:21
It wouldn't have had huge desert areas.
17:23
God created the world to be inhabited.
17:26
Prior to the flood, mankind had wrecked their environment to a large degree.
17:29
The Bible talks about the wickedness of man.
17:32
In Genesis 6, it speaks of every thought of man's heart was only evil continually, and that the whole world was
17:38
filled with violence because of man.
17:39
To me, I think it would be a very frightful place to live.
17:43
The intents and thoughts of the human heart were only evil continually.
17:48
The earth was filled with violence, and all flesh had corrupted its way on the earth.
17:53
So, it was excessive sin and violence and wickedness, and God said, I'm
17:59
going to destroy the earth.
18:01
The remnant, Noah and his family, they found grace in God's sight.
18:05
Apparently, they were not of those that were corrupted, and God took that remnant of mankind, was able to preserve it.
18:12
But one of the things people find interesting is the lifespans of humans before the flood.
18:18
Noah was 600 years old, and after he got off the ark, he lived 350 more years.
18:22
He was 950 years old when he died.
18:25
Now, his sons that got off the ark didn't live that long themselves, but they lived into their
18:33
And then the next generation, the next generation, the 400s, the 300s.
18:38
We are getting to Terah, Abraham's father, living into his 200s.
18:42
Abraham lived to 175, and it was an exponential decay in the lifespans.
18:47
Adam and Eve had no mutations.
18:49
The first 10 patriarchs before the flood had very low mutation rates, and so they were all
18:55
living to be about the same age.
18:57
Something happened at the time of the flood, and that's when this incredible degeneration of
19:04
There was this incredible decline in longevity.
19:08
When you plot the data, it's astounding, because the data, which is straight out of the Bible,
19:14
and you wouldn't expect scientific data in the Bible, but the data follows a strict
19:20
decay curve, and it's stunning.
19:25
In the Bible, we are told that before the flood, men lived to be nearly a thousand years old.
19:30
The average age of men at the time was so staggeringly high compared to today that some have a
19:36
difficult time comprehending how such longevity was even possible.
19:41
Yet, a major clue lies within the ages given to us in the book of Genesis.
19:46
In almost computer -like fashion, the book of Genesis reveals that the post -flood lifespans of the
19:52
genealogical line of Adam follow a mathematical concept known as exponential decay,
19:58
meaning that if you were to graph the lifespans of all of the men after the flood, you don't see a
20:04
linear line gradually sloping down, as you would likely see if the ages were made up.
20:09
But instead, what you see is an exponentially decaying curve with minor variations since
20:17
Would the men who recorded these ages through history really have conspired together to create
20:23
data that follows an exponential decay curve?
20:27
Instead, what we see resembles exactly the type of data we would expect in the aftermath of
20:33
a worldwide flood, revealing a steep initial drop -off of lifespans just after the flood
20:39
due to the catastrophic environmental changes.
20:43
No more access to nutrient -dense foods from the world that was lost, and genetic
20:48
mutations that were not before present.
20:51
The truth is that no one at the time of recording these metrics would even think to plot them in
20:57
an exponential decay curve if they were making a fiction.
21:01
This sophisticated decay curve is actually the result of a real and easily
21:12
The objections to Noah's Flood are mostly ridicule and laugh out loud.
21:19
The only serious things are maybe trying to say, well, where did the water go?
21:23
Where did the water come from?
21:25
And then lampooning Noah's Ark.
21:27
There was a Discover Channel special called Noah's Ark, The True Story, where they
21:34
showed actors portraying the traditional biblical version of the story of
21:41
And then they showed you the true story.
21:43
And Noah was dressed in a tunic, was bare -chested, had a shaved head, looked like an Egyptian,
21:50
and Noah's Ark was a beer barge.
22:02
Asserting that that's what the real story was, and then watched it fall apart into pieces as it,
22:09
of course, was structurally not sound, ridiculing the structure of the Ark.
22:14
When I was a master student at Ohio State University, I looked at the geometry of the
22:19
cross section and of the length of just the straightforward reading of the Bible.
22:26
And I found out that it's dynamically stable 90 degrees in pitch mode
22:32
and 90 degrees in yaw mode.
22:34
Meaning it'll go all the way up to 90 degrees and it'll come back.
22:40
Not that that wouldn't have caused problems for the people and animals in the Ark if it had been tilted that much, but that does show the
22:47
Certainly, whatever they could have taken in the turbulence, the Ark could have taken structurally.
22:53
This is a 200 -scale Ark.
22:55
And I put it in my swimming pool.
22:57
And we put a measurement device on here that was one inch.
23:00
And so we were able to scale the waves.
23:02
And do you know that it scaled to 500 -foot waves and it was still stable?
23:10
A tsunami, by the way, is about 100 feet.
23:13
So it lets you know about the dynamic stability of this.
23:16
Most of biology didn't need to be on the Ark.
23:20
Most plants didn't need to be on the Ark.
23:21
Most insects didn't need to be on the Ark.
23:23
Only the creatures that have breath in their lungs.
23:26
Most of the species live in the ocean, which do just fine in a flood.
23:30
So the Bible doesn't say that Noah was to take two of every species onto the Ark.
23:35
It was to take two of every kind.
23:37
The same word that's used in Genesis 1 that talks about God creating different kinds of plants and animals to
23:43
reproduce after their kind.
23:44
And so we think there were maybe only about 1 ,400 kinds and about 7 ,000 animals on the
23:51
Average size, maybe a large sheep or a small cow.
23:55
But most creatures, much smaller than that.
23:58
We're not talking about, for example, two Great Danes, two German shepherds, two wolves, two
24:04
He took two of the dog kind on the Ark.
24:07
And we know from modern genetics that there's tremendous genetic variation built into the
24:13
DNA for each kind of creature.
24:16
And so creation scientists have been studying, well, what was the created kind in
24:22
comparison to our modern classification system?
24:25
And they think that in most cases, it was equivalent to approximately the family level.
24:31
The evolutionists just exaggerate because they focus on species.
24:37
Evolutionists often claim that it would not be possible to fit all of the species of life on Earth onto a
24:43
ship the size of the Ark, even when factoring just how humongous Noah's Ark actually was.
24:49
At roughly 50 feet high, 85 feet wide, and more than 500 feet long, the Ark is the
24:55
largest wooden vessel known to have been built by man, with the USS Wyoming, a gigantic wooden schooner
25:01
built in 1909, coming in at second at 450 feet long.
25:05
Yet, regardless of size, imagining how the Ark could fit 18 million species of all life
25:11
on Earth is a rather elementary level way of understanding the excellent efficiency of the Ark's economy.
25:18
The reality is that the sea creatures, insects, invertebrates, and plant species did not
25:24
need to be included on the Ark.
25:26
You see, God instructed Noah to only bring the vertebrae land animals, and when you
25:32
simplify those animals to their genealogical class structure found in Genesis, which is known as a
25:38
kind, you can further significantly reduce the number of animal kinds needed down to
25:44
around roughly 1 ,400 kinds, or approximately 6 ,750 animals in
25:52
Of those animals, you also don't need to bring fully mature adults, when smaller juveniles would fit
25:57
better, eat less, waste less, and live longer while reproducing in the post -flood world.
26:04
With roughly 6 ,750 animals on board the Ark, we can now also estimate that
26:10
approximately 1 ,400 cages were needed, and when considering that only 20 of the Ark's volume was
26:16
needed for food storage, you can see that we have plenty of room left over for cages and
26:21
infrastructure, with the remaining area able to fit the equivalent of
26:26
483 semi -trailers within its volume.
26:31
It's also no surprise that the dimensions God gave for the Ark turned out to be optimal for
26:38
In fact, if we were to scale the Ark up, it appears that modern cruise ships have taken notes from the Ark's
26:43
dimensions, as you can see striking similarities in shapes and proportions that they share.
26:50
As you can observe, the influences of the Ark are alive and well today, and have long
26:56
-reaching implications in virtually every field of science, including baromonology,
27:02
botany, hydrodynamics, anthropology, and more.
27:07
But as compelling as the science behind the Ark is, we must not forget that it is God who
27:15
It was God who decided the time to judge the world had come, and it
27:21
was God who was ultimately responsible for the deliverance of all who were aboard the Ark.
27:53
In the second book of Peter, we are told that in the last days,
27:59
before Jesus Christ returns, people would deliberately ignore
28:05
the evidence of the flood, or as the Bible puts it, they would be willingly
28:14
Peter tells us that in the last days, men would mock the Bible and the second coming of
28:20
Jesus Christ, and instead they would walk after their own lusts,
28:27
just like they did in Noah's day.
28:33
You see, just as Noah had faith to carry out God's command to
28:39
build the Ark, and just as Noah had faith that God would bring them through
28:45
the flood, so we too must have faith
28:51
that God was perfectly capable of preserving Noah, his family, and
28:57
all of the creatures aboard the Ark.
29:01
Is it too difficult a thing for the God who created the universe and
29:07
everything in it to preserve the life that he chooses?
29:16
So, let us not be counted among those who Peter prophesied would
29:22
ignore the evidence of the flood, since we are indeed
29:32
Instead, let us be named among those who believe in
29:46
The Bible says that on the day that the rains of the flood began, all of the
29:52
animals with the breath of life were on board the Ark with Noah and his family,
29:58
and it was God himself who would shut them all in and save them from the.
30:10
The global nature of the flood is given in the biblical text, and it's quite clear, especially going to the original
30:17
The term for the flood itself is Mabul.
30:19
The unique Hebrew word Mabul, it's used only one other place in the Old Testament,
30:25
that is in Psalm 29 verse 10, where it says that God sat as king at the flood.
30:31
It's a very unique term that sets this account apart from other types of flood.
30:36
So, this was a unique flood.
30:38
First, we could talk about the flood itself, the purpose of the flood.
30:42
Contrary to what many think, it was not simply to destroy sinful man, but also, Genesis 6 tells
30:48
us, to destroy all the land animals and birds not on the Ark with Noah, and to destroy the surface
30:55
And only a global flood would accomplish that purpose.
30:58
Then we can talk about the Ark.
31:00
The purpose of the Ark was not to save a few animals so Noah could start a farm after the flood.
31:07
It was, as Genesis 7, 3 says, to keep offspring alive on the face of all the earth.
31:12
And then we have the repetition of universal terms.
31:16
Everything that is under the whole heaven, under the whole earth, everything in which is the breath of
31:22
Those words appear 60 times.
31:26
All, every, under heaven.
31:27
And when you have a repetition of those words, that is emphatic.
31:32
Secondly, we have the duration of the flood, 370 days.
31:37
Why such an extensive flood if.
31:40
I mean, why that duration of the flood?
31:42
Why would it take so long for it to.
31:46
There's no way a local flood could last that long.
31:48
We have the depth of the flood.
31:50
It covered all the high mountains everywhere under the heavens.
31:53
And since water seeks a level.
31:55
Plain, it would have to be a global flood.
31:58
When the scripture says that the waters rose to about 24 feet above the
32:04
mountains, even if you give the idea that the mountains were not as high as they are now, they were
32:09
upthrust after the flood, you still have water only rising to its own level.
32:15
If we had a local flood, then obviously there's no need to build an ark.
32:21
In the Middle East, the ark was totally unnecessary.
32:25
The animals didn't need to go in there.
32:27
And he could have told Noah and his family to go on a vacation to Europe or Egypt.
32:32
His family could have walked to a safer place.
32:35
And then why an ark at all?
32:42
The birds could fly away.
32:44
Animals, there are animals in other places after all, if it's a local flood.
32:48
Just this whole idea of everything included in the ark, two of each kind, means you were
32:54
trying to preserve all of life at that point.
32:57
Only a global flood fits.
32:59
Then we could talk about the volume.
33:01
It was way too big if it was just a.
33:05
You also have the very theological concept that if you had men elsewhere who were not part of
33:11
the judgment of the flood, then the whole idea of a judgment on mankind for
33:17
corruption of the earth would make no sense whatsoever.
33:20
God says, I've seen the wickedness of man that's great on the earth.
33:25
Not just in one local place, but on the earth.
33:27
When we come to the New Testament, you have a passage like 2 Peter 3, verses 5 through 7.
33:33
It compares a flood that destroyed the world that was, with a future judgment on a
33:39
coming world, or the world that now is.
33:42
If you had a local judgment in the past, you would have to have a local judgment in the future.
33:47
But of course, this is the second coming of Jesus Christ to judge his world, and it has to be.
33:54
Well, if the flood was just a local event, then what do you think?
33:57
Maybe when Jesus returns, just a local event?
33:59
No, it's going to be a worldwide judgment as well.
34:02
And I would add one last thing, and that is, we can't find the Garden of Eden.
34:07
People look at the description of the geography where the Garden of Eden was in Genesis 2.
34:13
The reason we can't find the Garden of Eden is because the pre -flood world was completely destroyed.
34:19
It is now buried under thousands of feet of sedimentary
34:26
So, the flood was not a local flood.
34:38
The Bible tells us that God looked upon his creation,
34:45
and behold, it was all corrupt.
34:51
For all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
35:00
Judgment day had finally come.
37:44
breath of life from under heaven.
37:50
Everything that is on the earth shall
38:02
Non -flood geologists on our planet.
38:05
Believe that the planet Mars had a global flood.
38:08
Creationists do believe, like the unbelievers, like the secular geologists believe Mars did have a flood.
38:14
We think it happened the same time our flood did.
38:16
Maybe an asteroid storm hitting the inner planets, the rocky planets.
38:21
Here on our planet, we're now currently covered 70 with water, two miles deep,
38:27
and they can't buy that we once had a flood?
38:30
It's very, very easy for them to believe that Mars had a global flood, but for some reason they can't except there's plenty of evidence
38:37
Where did all the water come from for the flood?
38:40
I mean, where did it come from and where did it go?
38:44
We're three -fourths covered with water, two miles deep.
38:50
The most asked questions are, where did the water come from for the flood and where did it go?
38:55
And the answer is easily explained in the model of catastrophic plate tectonics.
39:00
Process of catastrophic plate tectonics is very similar to conventional
39:08
The main difference is the speed or the rate at which these processes unfold.
39:13
Today, the plates are moving about a few inches per year.
39:19
However, during the flood, a billion times faster.
39:22
When the flood began, it began with these fountains on the bottom of the deep ocean.
39:29
Says that the fountains of the great deep were opened up.
39:32
The mid -ocean ridge is 44 ,000 miles long.
39:36
Most of it is underwater.
39:37
That's why they call it the mid -ocean ridge.
39:39
And if it all erupted at the same time, it would have made the ocean floor do this.
39:45
And then the mid -ocean ridge would have erupted all around the world at the same time roughly.
39:50
But that first phase would have caused sea level to rise a mile.
39:56
Then this tidal wave coming out from that sudden rise at the ocean floor in the middle headed
40:04
Now that would have been the phase one of the flood.
40:06
The second phase of the flood, it says, was when the windows of heaven were open.
40:12
Accident that there's an order given there in the scriptures.
40:16
The fountains of the deep break open, that is the crust breaking open, the water shooting up the supersonic steam
40:22
jets, and carrying that ocean water up, then it fell as global torrential rainfall.
40:29
The flood was 40 days and 40 nights of rain, but the waters prevailed upon the earth for 150
40:36
When the fountains of the great deep broke open, as the bible describes, that's the description of the
40:41
fracturing of the pre -flood crust.
40:44
You've got molten material that's expanding as it solidifies.
40:48
The new ocean floor expanded, that pushed up sea level.
40:52
That means that the ocean floor is actually going to rise.
40:55
The ocean waters rose up to cover the continents, the new ocean floor cooled, and it shrank,
41:02
and therefore sea level fell, and the ocean waters drained off.
41:06
The flood waters are still present on the earth's surface today.
41:10
They went into the new ocean basins that were produced as a consequence of the flood.
41:16
In fact, the earth is still 70 % covered in water.
41:19
Yeah, the water's still here.
41:21
It's deep in those trenches.
41:23
Some of the trenches are eight.
41:24
Now we find out 10 miles deep.
41:27
If we had lower land formations and a higher ocean floor, we would probably be
41:33
a water planet today with no land surface, and it's scraping the bottom of
41:39
the barrel to try to say, where did all the water go?
41:42
It's still here, and it's very easy to explain that the same water, mostly the same water that's here, would have been adequate
41:48
to have flooded the earth at one time, and that the situation has changed so that water is now in deeper basins.
41:53
Not a problem in the flood model at all.
41:57
We're all familiar with the theory about Pangaea, which holds that the continents were once connected
42:03
to form a supercontinent that later broke apart through a process called plate tectonics.
42:09
Catastrophic plate tectonics is essentially the same idea as conventional plate tectonics,
42:15
except that the timeline and events are all centered around the year of the flood instead of
42:21
millions of years of slow processes.
42:25
You may be surprised to learn that it was a man named Abraham Ortelius, a famous cartographer from
42:31
the 1500s, who first proposed the idea that the flood of Noah may have been
42:37
responsible for tearing apart the Americas from Europe and Africa.
42:43
Hundreds of years later, another Christian by the name of Antonio Snider Pellegrini would first
42:48
theorize the modern concept of continental drift, in which he illustrated
42:54
two maps depicting the continents of the world as once joined together.
43:00
This was decades before German geologist Alfred Wegener would propose his own version
43:07
of the theory known today as Pangaea and be erroneously dubbed the father of
43:15
Antonio was snubbed of this honorary title.
43:19
His crime was citing the book of Genesis, in which he said he
43:25
made the discovery that at the beginning of creation there was only one continent.
43:30
You see, the book of Genesis laid out exactly what happened to the earth in the
43:36
past during the flood, starting with what the bible calls the fountains of the great deep
43:44
It wouldn't be until the 1950s that technology initially developed to detect
43:50
submarines underwater would stumble across these gigantic scars from the
43:55
fountains of the great deep that had split open, exactly as the bible had
44:03
How did a book thousands of years old know exactly what was at the bottom of
44:11
The bible says that first these giant subterranean rifts broke open,
44:17
piercing the earth's crust, spewing magma that created steam jets that shot up into the sky.
44:24
Then the book of Genesis says that the waters poured down as torrential rain through the windows of
44:30
heaven that were opened up, and that the rain lasted 40 days and 40 nights.
44:36
The supercontinent that the book of Genesis described is now beginning to break apart.
44:43
At first, the newly partitioned continents oscillate, slamming into each other before
44:49
starting their ultimate journey of separation.
44:52
This closes seaways and forms volcanoes and mountains in the Americas and Europe,
44:59
such as the Appalachian and Chaldonian ranges.
45:03
The seafloor spreads, forming from molten magma, widening the separation between the new continents.
45:10
Scientists will later discover that the seafloor at the mid -Atlantic ridge is much younger than the
45:16
seafloor in other parts of the world, exactly as the bible suggests.
45:22
As this newly emerging volcanic floor spreads, it subducts under the west coast
45:28
of North America, binding and releasing, causing massive tsunamis, carrying
45:34
mud mixed with sea creatures, totally overwhelming the land.
45:39
As what's known as the Conjugate Shatsky Rise pushes up during the subduction, the Rocky
45:45
Mountains also begin to form, along with the Independence Dike Swarm, a 400
45:51
-mile -long volcanic region that billows ash that covers half of America.
45:56
As the western interior seaway emerges during this time, the last of the dinosaurs are flooded, mixed
46:03
together with sea life, and are buried in mud, sand, and ash in the middle of
46:11
As we near the end of the flood, activity begins to cease, as the seafloor stops spreading and begins
46:19
As the new massive ocean floors cool and retract, the waters reverse back down into the new
46:25
ocean basins and recede as much as a mile.
46:31
All over the earth, trillions of fossils are left behind as incredible evidence of the
46:37
worldwide catastrophic flood.
47:02
The only way that such a record could have come into existence is
47:08
global -scale processes producing the whole record in a single global
47:15
All over the world, the layers are flat and there's no river channels in them.
47:21
Think about what you see at the Grand Canyon.
47:23
You see these flat pancakes, one on top of another, just flat, flat, flat, flat.
47:27
They're basically erosionless.
47:31
At the beginning of the flood, there was movements of the crust.
47:35
Crustal movements actually caused earthquakes.
47:37
Earthquakes in water cause tsunamis.
47:41
The tsunamis, then originating from the ocean areas, would then race across the
47:47
Once the tsunami lost its power, the sediment would settle down out of the water
47:53
and form a flat layer at the bottom.
47:57
Then another earthquake in a different part of the world sets off a tsunami, maybe a week later, maybe a day
48:03
later, brings in a different sediment.
48:06
The tsunami runs out of power in this area.
48:08
The sediments in the water settle to the bottom and form another flat layer.
48:15
Again, you have a third tsunami bringing in these sediments, third layer.
48:19
My simulations indicate that these tsunamis were large enough for a single tsunami to.
48:25
Sweep all the way across a continent.
48:27
These layers were formed underwater.
48:30
That's why they were so confusing to so many people.
48:32
It's fascinating to see the evolution scientists explain their dig sites.
48:37
For example, at Dinosaur Provincial Park, they have 10 ,000 dinosaurs buried
48:45
You ask the site paleontologists, well, how did these 10 ,000 dinosaurs get in this flat layer?
48:51
Well, they died in a river in flood.
48:54
Oh, what was the shape of the river bottom?
48:57
It was a flat river bottom.
48:59
You're saying this river that was so strong that could bury 10 ,000 dinosaurs over five miles wide, which would be a
49:04
raging river, wasn't strong enough to cause an erosion channel?
49:09
Why isn't there a river cut from this river channel?
49:12
Why isn't there erosion from that river?
49:14
The answers make no sense in light of this flat problem, the erosionless problem.
49:21
What we see at the Grand Canyon is that.
49:24
The layers got bent at the edge of the plateau.
49:27
Because the folding was smooth when the sediments were still soft, the whole sequence had
49:33
to be formed rapidly during the flood and then bent at the end of the flood while they were still
49:39
And so these folds are very strategic evidence tying together all the layers
49:45
and it emphatically demonstrates that the millions of years never.
49:50
Or the fact that you have what are called polystrate fossils, they're usually trees.
49:54
That go through more than one layer.
49:56
These trees have three layers that are supposedly 30 million years worth of rock
50:03
You know that if you start accumulating sediment around the bottom, that sediment would eat away at the bark,
50:09
the bark would rot, and the tree would die even sooner, would fall over even less than 100 years.
50:15
But here we have trees, vertical, fossilized with three layers.
50:21
In the worldwide flood, trees were swept up and they were floating on the top.
50:26
Now eventually the trees became waterlogged and sank to the bottom.
50:30
Now trees normally sink horizontal, but some trees, as discovered by Dr.
50:36
Steve Austin, when they sink, they sink vertically.
50:40
If a tsunami wave comes, and there was a lot of tsunami waves during the flood, and brings in
50:46
sediment, when the tsunami wave loses power, the sediment in the wave
50:52
settles into a flat layer at the bottom.
50:56
Maybe a week later or a day later, another tsunami wave comes in from a different direction.
51:00
When the tsunami wave loses its power, the sediment begins to fall, and now it forms a second layer
51:06
on top of the first, amongst this vertical tree that hasn't fossilized yet.
51:11
Now if that tree could be buried with 30 feet of sediment in just say a week,
51:18
you could easily accumulate the entire Grand Canyon stacked layers in a year's time.
51:24
It is the explanation that defeats the evolution time, and it actually defeats the theory of
51:30
This is a single most important geological fact, and nobody seems to teach this in
51:36
college or in the evolution world.
51:40
Evolutionists claim that the earth is millions of years old, and one of their so -called
51:46
proofs are stratified rock layers found within the geologic column.
51:51
Evolutionists teach that each layer represents millions of years of rock formation,
51:57
based upon their uniformitarian view that says you can make assumptions about the past based upon
52:04
But in doing so, you're assuming that there are no catastrophic events like a global flood.
52:11
Evolutionists also ignore the flood evidence contained within these rock layers, like sea
52:16
creatures mixed together with land creatures.
52:22
Anywhere on earth they dig, they find countless sea creatures embedded in the rock.
52:29
You see, the Bible refutes evolution theory, stating that it has only been roughly 6
52:35
,000 years since the beginning of creation, giving the true account of how the
52:40
sedimentary layers formed, as sedimentary rock is rock that is formed in
52:46
water, which is also incredible testimony of a worldwide flood, given that the
52:52
earth's surface is made up mostly of water -formed sedimentary rock layers.
52:58
The fact that the layers were actually formed in water also explains why there is no
53:04
erosion found in between the layers, as there would be if the layers took millions of years
53:11
Then there's the issue of bended and folded rock, which could only occur if the layers were
53:17
pliable and soft at the time of the bending, which is exactly what a global flood
53:24
The bent layers also prove that their formation was rapid, with multiple layers
53:30
forming rapidly on top of each other, because the bottom layers would still have to be saturated
53:36
with water and didn't have enough time to dry out.
53:39
As forces acted upon the layers, they bent in unison from top to bottom.
53:46
Claiming these layers folded together over millions of years while still forming cannot
53:52
explain what geologists are observing.
53:55
Only underwater rapid burial could explain these phenomena, remembering that
54:01
sedimentary rock layers of which these are are formed in water in the first place.
54:09
To further prove that these rock layers were formed quickly and in the flood is the fact that
54:15
in countless places around the world we find poly -straight trees, poly meaning many
54:22
and straight referring to the multiple layers that these trees are running through.
54:26
If you understand anything about how organic matter decomposes, you'll know that it's impossible
54:32
for trees to remain intact for millions of years while layers of dirt and debris slowly
54:38
pile around them and rain and moisture rot the wood out.
54:44
Instead, what the evidence shows is that trees were swept up in the flood and
54:49
carried off and as they became more waterlogged, they sank.
54:54
Some trees would sink uniformly while other trees contained more water saturation in
55:00
what was left of their bottom roots.
55:03
These trees would be bottom heavy and float down to the floor but rest upright.
55:08
Tsunami waves would carry in sediments that would bury the trees quickly in multiple
55:15
In fact, geologists discovered that the same sand from the eastern side of America had been
55:21
carried in tsunami waves all the way to the west side of the continent.
55:25
This explains how the rock layers contained fossils of sea creatures mixed in with land plants and it
55:31
also explains why the trees are missing their root systems and most importantly why the
55:37
trees are found running straight through multiple rock layers that evolutionists are claiming are
55:44
Let's also not forget that some of these layers are the size of continents indicating that
55:50
these trees and rocks were laid down in a single and catastrophic event and
55:56
not local floods at different times.
55:59
Today, we assume that fossils are a normal part of the cycle of life since we see so many of them
56:06
Yet, fossilization is not what we observe at all when something dies today.
56:11
Thankfully, dead matter does not fossilize today under normal conditions but instead God
56:17
made dead matter to break down and return to the earth.
56:21
The fact that we see so many fossils indicates that there was a worldwide event that caused
56:27
mass fossilization of all life on earth at one point in time.
56:34
If the earth today is covered 71 in water, water formed sedimentary rock
56:40
layers made up most of the rock on earth.
56:43
Inside those rock layers are sea creatures mixed in with land creatures.
56:47
Some of these sedimentary layers span entire continents meaning they were formed all together
56:55
Multiple layers are bent and folded together proving rapid burial events created them.
57:01
We find trees spanning through multiple layers of rock and all over the globe we find
57:07
massive areas of erosion such as great canyons carved out.
57:12
It is obvious that God left all of this evidence behind as a.
57:17
Testimony to the biblical flood.
57:23
The second most powerful evidence are the fossils that are in these sedimentary
57:30
To produce a fossil requires in most cases especially for the larger kinds of
57:36
organisms requires complete burial and rapid burial
57:42
and that automatically speaks of catastrophic conditions.
57:46
So the fact that we find so many fossils so well preserved many of them with
57:52
evidence that the animals were buried alive is another powerful evidence for a
57:59
There's a lot of fossils in museums.
58:01
In fact the museums are full.
58:03
They don't want any more fossils.
58:07
Museums have collected 1 billion fossils and scientists suggest that in
58:13
the rocks and you could find these there are trillions of fossils.
58:18
If you see an animal die along the side of the road like a possum or a deer pretty soon that deer or that
58:32
Ten years later it's just dust.
58:34
There's nothing and yet there's these trillion fossils.
58:37
Here's why we have a trillion fossils.
58:39
There was this enormous flood.
58:41
It was a worldwide flood.
58:43
Tsunamis were racing across bringing in sediment and quickly burying these animals.
58:49
As the flood receded all this ocean water percolated back through these through the sand that
58:55
was covering the animals and provided the minerals to change the bones into fossils
59:01
and that's how you get trillions of fossils.
59:04
To have a worldwide flood.
59:05
The one thing we frequently observe is that the fossils have been exquisitely preserved.
59:12
Well we find all the details preserved in place.
59:15
For example fish about to swallow another fish and it's been buried.
59:21
That tells you it had to be very rapid to preserve those details.
59:25
Another example we've got ichthyosaurs which are marine reptiles.
59:30
Some of these up to six feet long and they've been buried with in the process of giving birth
59:36
Another case of you know 10 -12 foot long fish with an undigested fish in its stomach.
59:42
The details of wings of wasps.
59:47
The wings are open and the legs are in the fly position.
59:53
They were flying and those insects were trying to escape.
59:57
They're trying to go somewhere but they just got trapped with all the sediments of the waters
1:00:03
of the flood and that's why we can study them.
1:00:06
All these details require extremely rapid burial.
1:00:11
It fits exactly with what the bible says.
1:00:15
The destruction of the flood was rapid, sudden, catastrophic on a global scale
1:00:20
preserving these creatures sometimes in life positions.
1:00:25
Caught in the in the action of doing something and the details exquisitely preserved.
1:00:31
With the biblical record of the flood.
1:00:35
It may surprise you to learn that all of the rock layers of the world, the name rock layers
1:00:41
like the Cambrian, the Jurassic, all of the layers of the world have saltwater creatures.
1:00:48
Well what greater proof would you need that this was from a worldwide flood that there's
1:00:54
saltwater creatures in all the layers?
1:00:56
Now this is in the middle of the continents.
1:00:59
How did these saltwater creatures get here?
1:01:01
It would have to be a flood.
1:01:03
Now the evolution scientists have to explain where these saltwater creatures came from,
1:01:10
You're saying, Mr. Evolution Scientist, that there's saltwater creatures in all these layers and you're saying the oceans
1:01:16
rose, covered the middle of the United States and went back down, went back up, went back down
1:01:22
multiple times, at least a dozen times.
1:01:24
Occam's razor would say it's more simple to believe in one flood than more than a dozen worldwide
1:01:33
That the secular geologists began to move to catastrophism and move away from
1:01:39
uniformitarianism as soon as it suited their needs.
1:01:42
They went to catastrophism when it served their purposes to help.
1:01:46
Explain the extinction of the dinosaurs.
1:01:48
Noah's flood provides a better explanation for the demise of the dinosaurs than the impact in
1:01:54
Yucatan, simply because that event is so small, so localized, there's no
1:02:00
way it could have a physical effect that would cause the dinosaurs to be buried the way we
1:02:07
And nobody in the secular world even claims that.
1:02:10
They say, well it produced climate change that caused the dinosaurs to starve to death.
1:02:16
If you go on Wikipedia today.
1:02:19
And look up dinosaur extinction or Chicxulub crater, an asteroid sunk and
1:02:26
hit the earth, caused a global cooling because all the dust in the air and the dinosaurs died
1:02:33
We have simulations where we've thrown the Chicxulub seismometer right on the earth using high
1:02:39
performance computing and then we get the subduction event and we get the breakup of the lithosphere and we start the earthquakes,
1:02:47
Actually, meteoritic impacts could have initiated that event.
1:02:51
But it has no power to explain the.
1:02:53
Burial of these huge animals in the sediment record.
1:02:57
In the 1980s, secular scientists began to theorize that it was an asteroid that crashed
1:03:03
into the earth and wiped out nearly all of life on its surface.
1:03:08
The theory posits that massive tsunamis and volcanic dust -filled air as a result of the
1:03:14
impact are what destroyed the dinosaurs and most other life in a worldwide disaster.
1:03:20
Secular scientists could not escape the fact that water and volcanism played a massive
1:03:26
role in how life was once wiped out on earth.
1:03:30
But the Bible had already written that the earth had been catastrophically destroyed through
1:03:35
volcanism and water and they didn't want to validate the Bible.
1:03:40
So they came up with their own catastrophic version of events, i .e., the
1:03:47
You see, the Bible's book of Genesis had already made clear what happened in the past in
1:03:53
detail, describing volcanic activity bursting open from the ocean floors,
1:03:59
chronicling when the volcanic activity began and ceased, how long the rain
1:04:04
poured, how high the waters reached, as well as giving the very reason why God
1:04:10
judged and destroyed the world with the flood in the first place.
1:04:15
You are essentially given two choices today.
1:04:19
On the one hand, you have a book written thousands of years ago giving an amazingly detailed account
1:04:25
of a worldwide flood that wiped out virtually all life on earth.
1:04:31
On the other hand, you have man -made theories, in this case, one that was only first
1:04:37
postulated about 40 years ago due to the inadequacy of their prior non
1:04:43
-catastrophic models that they know really didn't work.
1:04:47
Both views require a catastrophic event with global implications, but only one
1:04:53
has the power to actually explain the stratification of the earth's surface and the
1:04:59
trillions of fossils, along with cultures around the world citing a global
1:05:05
flood in their historical writings and legends, while the other merely
1:05:11
rearranges elements from the true account to concoct its own story.
1:05:16
Think about it, the Bible already said long ago that the entire world's surface was
1:05:22
destroyed catastrophically.
1:05:24
They have no choice but to make that same claim.
1:05:27
The Bible said that the continents were once together in the beginning.
1:05:31
It looks like they have to share that too.
1:05:34
Nearly all animal life on earth was wiped out during the destruction, a fact that they
1:05:42
Marine life was scattered across the world.
1:05:45
The Bible says the waters went above the highest mountains.
1:05:49
Secular scientists formulated their own theories as to how to explain the marine fossils away.
1:05:56
The earth's original environment was permanently destroyed.
1:06:00
The pre -flood paradise was gone.
1:06:04
In the secular model, they refer to this as the prehistoric world going extinct.
1:06:10
And let's not forget that the flood set the processes into motion for much of the world to be
1:06:17
Hot oceans produce evaporations and greater snowfall.
1:06:22
Volcanoes send volumes of aerosols into the atmosphere, blocking the sun.
1:06:28
Greater snowfall with cooler summers results in global ice sheets.
1:06:33
Evolutionists have called these results of the flood the ice age.
1:06:39
One of these is constantly being proven true as more and more evidence is discovered over time,
1:06:46
while the other was only invented after the evidence was unearthed.
1:06:51
And further still, contained within the Bible is also the prediction that all of this
1:06:59
In the second book of Peter, we are told that in the last days, which is the time fast approaching,
1:07:05
unbelievers would be willingly ignorant of the flood.
1:07:09
Meaning that secular men and women would consciously choose to believe and create lies that
1:07:15
allow them to push the catastrophic event into the distant past.
1:07:20
So long ago and so far away, it ceases to be scientific history and becomes
1:07:27
The irony can only be described as biblical.
1:07:30
The Bible makes it clear that the end times would be characterized by increasing unbelief of the biblical account
1:07:36
of history and the flood event itself.
1:07:40
Sadly, the religion of evolution is one in which its priests are constantly updating their
1:07:47
While in the Bible, we are given the final true and unchanging account.
1:07:53
And as the evidence is unearthed over time, the biblical account is always
1:08:09
If you go to a museum today and look at the.
1:08:11
Dinosaur displays, you'll notice that the animals look strange and unusual with the
1:08:17
Have you ever seen a boa constrictor at a museum display wrapped around a T -Rex's leg?
1:08:23
No, but they have found boa constrictors with dinosaurs.
1:08:27
Have you ever seen a box turtle at the feet of a stegosaurus?
1:08:32
No, but they found box turtles with dinosaurs.
1:08:35
Have you ever seen a T -Rex with a duck flying over him?
1:08:39
No, but ducks have been found with dinosaurs.
1:08:43
All seven groups of animals today have been found with the dinosaurs and
1:08:51
Museum displays don't show that.
1:08:53
So if they actually put the animals they found with the dinosaurs, people would look at those
1:08:59
displays and say, well, evolution hasn't occurred.
1:09:02
It's just the dinosaurs went extinct.
1:09:04
But scientists have withheld the modern animals from their dinosaur displays to promote the
1:09:12
You know, the soft tissue analysis in dinosaurs that's been recent has been
1:09:19
a little bit of an enigma to those who believe that the earth and universe is really old.
1:09:24
Mary Schweitzer in the 1990s and early 2000s first found this
1:09:30
like elastic material in arteries.
1:09:33
Elastic material means you pull it and it reloads back to its original place.
1:09:38
Dinosaur soft tissue is a very recent finding.
1:09:43
They don't want it really getting out.
1:09:46
It's not in any of the textbooks.
1:09:48
This lady cracked open or cut open one of the bones and you
1:09:54
could smell the putrefaction.
1:09:58
Dinosaur bones shouldn't smell like they're dying because they've been dead for millions of years, right?
1:10:04
Well, a little bit later, Mark Armitage started looking at the horn of the triceratops, but he found
1:10:10
bone materials, tissue and bone, the osteocytes that actually you pull it and it had strains.
1:10:16
Strains are how much you deform something.
1:10:18
It had up to almost 100 % strain.
1:10:21
Muscle tissue in the Santanaraptor fossil and it was like dinosaur beef jerky on the leg
1:10:29
It was the actual muscle.
1:10:31
This Thessalosaurus bone, the same thing.
1:10:33
We started looking inside of this bone and we found using scanning electron microscopy that it
1:10:40
You pull it apart and it goes back.
1:10:43
If this was mineralized or was a fossil that became a rock, you couldn't do this.
1:10:48
So it was never mineralized, never petrified.
1:10:51
It was still elastic, meaning it was still the tissue.
1:10:54
That means this thing is not 100 million years old.
1:10:59
The biblical account expects to find some of that stuff.
1:11:10
And muscle fiber proteins.
1:11:12
These things shouldn't be able to last but 100 ,000 years tops.
1:11:16
But these things were 100 million years old.
1:11:19
Okay, 68 million years old, but closer to 100 million.
1:11:22
The amino acids in the protein strands would unbuckle and fall apart into protein powder and
1:11:28
there is no explanation to this day.
1:11:30
Nothing that makes any decent scientific sense and it's just been left as an anomaly.
1:11:35
Neil deGrasse Tyson interviewed Mary Schweitzer and some others and then turned the attention to
1:11:42
They tried to distract the attention away from the red blood cells.
1:11:46
The medullary layer was there showing that the t -rex that this bone came from was at the time carrying
1:11:53
That's really what we call a shell game.
1:11:55
A smoke and mirrors game.
1:11:58
A dog and pony show meant to distract away from the elephant in the room which was
1:12:04
there were proteins in that t -rex bone.
1:12:08
Now Mark Armitage, working at University of California, did find soft tissue inside of a
1:12:14
triceratops horn and when he published that finding, they fired him.
1:12:21
So they are willingly ignorant, squelching the truth and this is actually
1:12:30
Now we're talking about thought control and the mind police.
1:12:34
They wanted to fire him because they felt that this was a religious.
1:12:37
Position when really he had only brought forth a scientific discovery.
1:12:43
In 1993, a film titled Jurassic Park featured a rather famous scene in which
1:12:49
the remains of an ancient mosquito were preserved encased in a ball of hardened
1:12:56
The film goes on to explain that the way scientists could resurrect dinosaurs from the past was
1:13:02
by extracting blood from the remains inside this mosquito in which dinosaur
1:13:08
DNA could be fully sequenced by combining what was missing with that of a modern -day
1:13:15
This idea came about because back in the 90s, the writer Michael Crichton was struggling to
1:13:20
come up with a concept to explain how dinosaurs could somehow be brought back to life in a feasible
1:13:27
way in his book of the same title.
1:13:30
What the Jurassic Park creators couldn't have imagined was the discovery of soft tissue
1:13:37
inside of a dinosaur bone.
1:13:39
A finding that has since been replicated by other scientists such as this stretching triceratops
1:13:45
tissue discovered by Mark Armitage.
1:13:49
These discoveries shocked the entire paleontological community and would likely have
1:13:55
rewritten the original Jurassic Park film had they known this was possible at the time.
1:14:01
In fact, scientists have run into major challenges when attempting to publish these findings
1:14:07
because of the wholesale rejection that dinosaur soft tissue could even still exist.
1:14:14
The consensus at the time agreed that it was completely impossible because
1:14:19
everyone held to the widespread belief that the bones were millions of years old, which would
1:14:25
require that all of their biomaterial had long since fossilized.
1:14:31
There was simply no way that these dinosaur bones contained biomaterial like blood
1:14:37
vessels and proteins such as collagen.
1:14:41
In fact, of the 16 types of bio -organic materials that have since been discovered
1:14:47
inside dinosaur bones, collagen by itself ends the debate on these bones being
1:14:52
millions of years old, as the maximum age of collagen is as low as 10 ,000
1:14:58
years by some estimates and as high as 900 ,000 years by others,
1:15:04
with 100 ,000 years being the generally agreed upon maximum age.
1:15:10
To put this into perspective, if each of these tiny bars represents a
1:15:16
period of 100 ,000 years, then only one of these bars represents the
1:15:22
maximum age collagen could survive over time.
1:15:26
If we zoom out to the time span of 100 million years, then we can see that the lifespan of
1:15:31
collagen is 1 ,000 times shorter than the general age evolutionists claim
1:15:39
Or another way to say it is that collagen doesn't even
1:15:44
last 0 .001 as long as it would have to in order for evolution
1:15:49
theory to work, proving that it's not even remotely within the realm of possibility
1:15:56
that collagen could survive for so long.
1:16:00
The relatively short shelf life of collagen proves what the bible has been saying about these bones all along,
1:16:07
that they're roughly 4 ,400 years old and were buried all over the world
1:16:13
around the time of Noah's flood.
1:16:25
As the flood waters began to recede, the earth was in a state of chaos.
1:16:32
Dinosaur graveyards like these would later be found all over the earth, and
1:16:38
secular paleontologists agree that these worldwide sites share
1:16:46
The state the bones are found in all show evidence of flood burial,
1:16:54
and now you understand exactly where the water came from.
1:17:00
Water that would eventually dry up because it didn't belong there in the first
1:17:08
The whole earth would undergo a massive reset as vegetation would
1:17:14
slowly grow back and water would find its final resting places.
1:17:24
Sadly, the earth that was once a perfect habitat for dinosaurs
1:17:31
was now irrevocably ruined, and those dinosaurs that were able to
1:17:36
survive would be hunted to extinction over time.
1:17:42
We know them as dinosaurs, but legend would remember them
1:17:54
And so it was that on the 17th day of the seventh month, the
1:18:00
ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat.
1:18:04
It was a little over a year after the flood began that Noah, his family,
1:18:10
and all on board the ark would finally step onto dry land again.
1:18:17
This group of eight people would repopulate the earth, just as legends around
1:18:23
the world cite in their historical literature.
1:18:31
And science would later prove that this genetic bottleneck really did occur,
1:18:38
exactly as the bible had told us all along.
1:18:49
In terms of looking at the way ideas progress, we know that history can become
1:18:56
Myth, as a core idea, cannot become more historical.
1:19:00
It doesn't go the other way.
1:19:01
History can become more historical.
1:19:04
Myth becomes more mythical.
1:19:06
And if you start with myth, you end up with myth.
1:19:08
You can never go the other way.
1:19:09
So we can see as a genre how different they are.
1:19:14
200 flood traditions discovered by anthropologists and missionaries and others.
1:19:20
And many of these flood traditions come from people groups that don't even live near the ocean.
1:19:26
Of flood legends from around the world.
1:19:28
But in many of these cases, you have huge similarities to the biblical account.
1:19:31
You have one righteous family that is saved.
1:19:33
And the reason for the flood is because God was angry.
1:19:35
The gods were angry at something that humanity had done.
1:19:39
About man and animals surviving on some kind of a boat.
1:19:44
There are lots of similarities.
1:19:46
But the true account is in Genesis.
1:19:48
Some of the evidence of that is just in the description of the ark.
1:19:52
The Babylonian Gilgamesh epic has a cube for the ark.
1:19:58
Well, that would just roll in the water and.
1:20:02
The biblical account has a flood.
1:20:05
Its duration is 371 days.
1:20:07
But when we come to the Gilgamesh epic, it's merely six days.
1:20:11
It only took one week to build this huge ark where it took nowhere probably 55 years or something in
1:20:17
that range to construct his ark.
1:20:21
Account is the true account.
1:20:23
And these other stories are the result of people migrating from the Tower of
1:20:29
Babel after the flood and preserving in their memory an echo of the true
1:20:34
account that is recorded in Genesis.
1:20:37
And the farther they moved away from the Middle East and any contact with the true account,
1:20:43
the more the story got corrupted over time.
1:20:48
The differences as well as the similarities.
1:20:51
The biblical account, by all measure, stands independent from the others.
1:20:56
They certainly had a common core in history.
1:20:58
There was an event that happened.
1:21:00
We've actually recorded about 23 different accounts that are very similar to Babel where people were trying to build this
1:21:06
tower and the gods were angry or God was angry and forced them to scatter by confusing their language.
1:21:12
And then from Genesis 12 onward, we don't see similarities anymore.
1:21:15
There's no Abraham legend.
1:21:17
There's no Isaac legend or David legend, anything like that.
1:21:19
But Genesis 1 through 11, people all around the globe seem to know about why.
1:21:24
Because what the is telling us is true.
1:21:26
And up until Genesis 11 at the Babel event, mankind had a shared history.
1:21:30
And then they took that history with them, they passed it along, and it gets distorted as the years go by.
1:21:35
After the flood, God blesses Noah and his sons, tells them to be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth, the same sort of thing that he told Adam
1:21:41
So in a sense, man gets to start over.
1:21:44
And yet what do we see just a few generations later?
1:21:46
The people refuse to scatter.
1:21:48
They said, no, we're going to stay right here in the Mesopotamian Valley.
1:21:52
And they began to build a tower.
1:21:55
They had a one world government.
1:21:57
Genesis 11 tells us that God stopped that building project by supernaturally creating
1:22:02
different languages to force the people to move apart according to their families into
1:22:10
People then who were biologically, genetically very close began to marry within
1:22:18
And from what we know of genetics, that would bring out recessive genes to become dominant
1:22:24
and physical characteristics associated with that.
1:22:27
But the Bible is very clear.
1:22:29
There's only one race, Adam's race.
1:22:31
Paul says that God made from one man or one blood all the nations to dwell upon
1:22:38
So there's absolutely no basis for saying that one group of people with a certain shade of brown
1:22:44
skin are superior or inferior to some other people who have a different shade of brown skin.
1:22:50
We have no basis to hate people that look different from us, because in reality, everybody
1:22:58
So if I were going to hate people that look different from me, I'd have to hate everybody.
1:23:02
So we should be loving and accepting because we're all descended from the same
1:23:10
You know, the interesting thing is that most evidence shows that humanity started in the Middle East, which
1:23:16
we'd expect if the Tower of Babel was true.
1:23:18
All these languages seem to have diverged.
1:23:27
As what was now left of the Ark rested in the mountains of Ararat,
1:23:33
God made a covenant with Noah, promising him and all of his
1:23:39
posterity that he would never again destroy the earth and all life
1:23:49
And God blessed Noah and his sons and commanded them to
1:23:55
once again multiply and spread out upon the earth.
1:24:00
But on the plains of Shinar, men disobeyed God's command, and instead
1:24:06
they came together to build a city and a great tower they intended
1:24:13
to reach to the heavens in an ultimate act of rebellion
1:24:28
But God came down and put a stop to their tower by
1:24:34
dividing their once unified language into many languages.
1:24:40
And out of confusion and fear, they stopped building the tower and dispersed
1:24:46
into what would become the nations of the world.
1:24:59
It was within a few centuries after Noah and his family departed from the Ark that the people of
1:25:05
the world were of one language.
1:25:07
But today there are over 7 ,000 languages in the world, which trace back
1:25:14
to an ancestral family group that each belongs to.
1:25:18
For example, Italian can be traced back to Latin, its root language family.
1:25:24
However, when linguists attempted to trace the root language families further upstream,
1:25:30
they encountered a serious problem.
1:25:33
The language families would eventually lead to dead ends, otherwise known as language isolates.
1:25:40
This directly contradicts the merged root language that evolutionists were expecting to find, or what
1:25:46
some linguists theoretically call the elusive proto -world language.
1:25:52
Instead, what they find are a bunch of languages that seemed to have emerged out of nowhere.
1:25:59
Unless of course you factor in the events that took place at the Tower of Babel,
1:26:05
which provides an incredible explanation evolutionists refuse to accept.
1:26:11
Further still, consider that when you trace known languages on a map, something very telling
1:26:19
Many of the earliest languages trace back to one location on earth, a place commonly referred to
1:26:25
as the cradle of civilization, Mesopotamia.
1:26:32
And what's also revealing is that the time frame of many languages also trace back to that
1:26:37
approximate point in time, which is just after the flood and Tower of Babel in
1:26:46
Furthermore, linguists believe that approximately 94 proto -language families should exist in
1:26:52
theory, and they also believe that this number may lower over time, as more research
1:27:00
By no coincidence, there are approximately 70 people groups in the biblical table of
1:27:06
nations, recorded in the Bible around the time of the Babel event.
1:27:11
What are the odds that the estimated root language families so closely reflect the
1:27:17
same number of the nations the Bible lists at the time of the Tower of Babel?
1:27:23
And what's more is that these people groups also have myths and legends within their
1:27:29
cultures of both an ancient flood that destroyed the world and a time when their
1:27:34
ancestors attempted to build a tower.
1:27:38
These stories of course vary, but the core elements tend to remain intact, with the
1:27:43
Cherokee and other Native American tribes even including that their language was once changed
1:27:50
much earlier in history, as only one example of hundreds.
1:27:56
In like fashion, human genetics also revealed a similar pattern to the languages,
1:28:02
as the genes extracted from over 100 human remains from the so -called Bronze Age
1:28:08
era revealed that the further back in time you go, the less genetic mixing there was,
1:28:15
with their data showing relatively unmixed genetic lineages around the time of Babel,
1:28:22
which of course is no coincidence.
1:28:25
Only God's supernatural intervention can explain the multifaceted bottleneck we
1:28:32
see across so many fields of science.
1:28:35
When we come to the story of Noah's Ark, it's more than just a story.
1:28:39
It certainly is a part of vital history.
1:28:42
There was an ancient world, and that ancient world, because of corruption, was destroyed by a
1:28:47
flood, and that was the judgment that was on mankind.
1:28:52
Changed, there is yet a future judgment coming.
1:28:54
It'll be just as it was in the days of Noah.
1:28:57
They'll be giving and taking in marriage.
1:28:59
They were having families.
1:29:00
They were doing their work.
1:29:01
They were just living life as normal.
1:29:03
They didn't believe the judgment was coming.
1:29:07
Come, and people were not ready.
1:29:09
Before the flood, people were eating and drinking and married and given in marriage, with a total disregard
1:29:15
to the building of the Ark, to what was being preached.
1:29:18
To them, to all the things around them.
1:29:20
And Jesus says, just before he returns, people will be in rebellion, ignoring
1:29:26
God, just going on living their life as if God doesn't exist.
1:29:31
Surprised when Jesus comes and brings judgment.
1:29:34
There was a judgment that happened.
1:29:39
Just as the flood came suddenly, so the second coming
1:29:45
of Christ will be sudden.
1:29:47
Just as the flood was certain, so the second coming of Christ is certain and will
1:29:54
That judgment of the flood is a warning of the judgment to come.
1:30:02
Jesus Christ is the most written of and influential person in all of world history.
1:30:09
But what has made so many throughout the millennia believe that he is who he says he was?
1:30:16
God in human flesh, the savior of mankind, the Messiah who
1:30:22
was prophesied of in the Bible.
1:30:25
You see, the Bible is the only book on earth that has repeatedly proved
1:30:31
its inspiration of God, by virtue of telling us the future in advance.
1:30:37
For example, around 626 BC, Jeremiah the prophet predicted
1:30:43
Israel would be conquered, Jerusalem and the temple would be destroyed, and the
1:30:49
Babylonians would rule over God's people, taking them captive into exile for 70 years.
1:30:55
And shortly after his prophecy was written, that's exactly what happened around
1:31:03
Then there's Isaiah who wrote that Babylon's gates would open for Cyrus, a
1:31:09
king who wouldn't be born for over 150 years.
1:31:13
And in 539 BC, the formidable city's gates were indeed opened to a
1:31:19
king named Cyrus and his army.
1:31:22
And as foretold, Babylon was destroyed, which both Jeremiah and Isaiah
1:31:30
And then there's the famous prophecy of Daniel, in which he predicted the appearance of the Messiah,
1:31:36
claiming that he would come 483 years after a decree would be made to
1:31:42
rebuild Jerusalem, which is exactly the time in which Jesus appeared.
1:31:48
And when it comes to Jesus fulfilling prophecies, there are hundreds concerning him alone.
1:31:54
Scripture said that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem, that the Christ would live in Galilee.
1:32:00
He would teach parables, be rejected by the rulers, be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver.
1:32:06
And it was even prophesied that he would be crucified, not stoned to death, at a time when crucifixion
1:32:12
hadn't even yet been invented.
1:32:15
Furthermore, there are other prophecies, much like Daniel's, that also tell us the
1:32:24
His birth had to happen before the scepter of Judah departed, while
1:32:30
the temple was still standing, but before it would be destroyed.
1:32:36
And very notably, he had to come while genealogical records still existed
1:32:42
to prove his lineage was of the line of David.
1:32:47
Those records perished when the temple was destroyed in 70 AD.
1:32:51
Strikingly, Jesus Christ walked the earth during exactly the critical period when a
1:32:57
multitude of prophecies about the Messiah converged.
1:33:01
You see, mankind are all guilty of committing terrible sins before a holy
1:33:08
If each person were to give an individual accounting to God on their own merit, they would certainly face
1:33:17
But here's the good news.
1:33:19
God's masterful plan, as unveiled in Corinthians, reveals that while humanity
1:33:25
collectively inherited condemnation through one man's disobedience, Adam, they
1:33:31
can now find forgiveness and salvation through the obedience of one man,
1:33:38
If one man can bring death to all through his sin, then it follows that a sinless
1:33:44
man can bring life to all through his obedience.
1:33:48
Thankfully, God in his wisdom and mercy has given us a simple and easy way
1:33:54
to be justified in his sight, and that is through his son, Jesus
1:34:07
That God created a perfect world.
1:34:10
Adam sinned, and because of Adam's sin, we are all born sinners.
1:34:16
But we also choose to sin.
1:34:18
We choose to rebel against God.
1:34:20
Every one of us has broken the Ten Commandments in thought or word or
1:34:26
deed, through the evil that we have done or the good that we have failed to do, through
1:34:32
ignorance, through weakness, or through our own deliberate fault.
1:34:37
We're all guilty before God.
1:34:39
We all deserve his judgment.
1:34:41
And the Bible says in Romans that the wages of sin or the penalty of sin is death.
1:34:47
And so God sent his son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to die on the cross, to take the wrath of
1:34:53
God for us, pay the penalty for sin.
1:34:57
And then he rose from the dead, proving that he had paid that penalty, that he had conquered death, and that
1:35:03
he could give us eternal life.
1:35:05
We need to respond to what Jesus has done, every one of us.
1:35:10
No one can respond for us.
1:35:12
We must each personally acknowledge to God that we have sinned against him, that we
1:35:17
deserve his judgment, and then put our trust in Jesus Christ as our Savior and our Lord.
1:35:24
And when we do that, we're forgiven.
1:35:27
We're restored to a right relationship with God, to a personal relationship.
1:35:32
With God, and we're given the gift of eternal life.
1:35:35
We've heard that the Ark of Noah was an ark constructed for the salvation of mankind.
1:35:42
It had one door in it, and that was a single entrance.
1:35:48
God also only has one way of salvation.
1:35:51
That way of salvation in the ark was to preserve them through God's judgment, which was the flood.
1:35:57
And someone had to trust in God and accept him and come his way, which is that one way
1:36:03
into the ark, in order to be saved.
1:36:05
The real problem for us is not the one way to God.
1:36:10
It's that we're wanting to come to someone who's now tells us what we need.
1:36:17
Tells us we're sinners, which we don't want to hear.
1:36:20
Tells us we need to depend upon him.
1:36:22
And I think ultimately all of us deep down realize we are not what we should be.
1:36:27
That there is a God who made all these things.
1:36:29
We certainly didn't do it.
1:36:31
All the creation, all the irreducible complexities, all the things that exist, simply argue
1:36:38
If that's the case, then we're creatures.
1:36:40
And what better place for the creature than in a relationship with the creator?
1:36:44
The creator made that possible by himself going through all the things that we go through, but ultimately dying in
1:36:49
our place, because that's what our sin deserved.
1:36:52
Jesus himself said, John 14, 6, he said, I am the way.
1:36:58
And no one comes to the father except through me.
1:37:01
So if we come to the one who is God in the flesh, the one who came to
1:37:07
provide redemption for us, and we trust him and take him at his word, he says, I will save you.
1:37:14
Come to me and you have all that was promised in the Bible, eternal life, a
1:37:20
relationship with God, and everything that beyond what we can even imagine in this life,
1:37:26
there's a whole life yet to come that God has.
1:37:29
Promised to those who love
1:37:38
2 ,000 years ago, God the father sent his son to the world
1:37:44
to usher in a new era of righteousness and peace,
1:37:51
but they rejected the true Messiah.
1:37:55
They hated the very one whom the Bible says created love,
1:38:10
They took and crucified him in the very place he was to establish
1:38:19
But God the father raised him from the dead and made his
1:38:25
sacrifice the salvation for many.
1:38:28
For Jesus Christ is the light of the world, and in him
