people don't believe in the flood today 19 00:03:55,436 --> 00:03:59,640 because they don't have access to the accurate information 20 00:03:59,807 --> 00:04:01,174 and evidences that are there. 21 00:04:01,342 --> 00:04:04,144 They are simply captive 22 00:04:04,312 --> 00:04:07,481 to entertainment, social media. 23 00:04:07,648 --> 00:04:09,883 There you have movies like "Noah" 24 00:04:10,050 --> 00:04:12,686 that in a very fictional and nonsensical way 25 00:04:12,853 --> 00:04:14,588 distorts the Bible totally, 26 00:04:14,788 --> 00:04:16,724 and for many people, that's the only source they have 27 00:04:16,890 --> 00:04:18,559 for something they think is a biblical account. 28 00:04:18,726 --> 00:04:20,394 And we have, of course, 29 00:04:20,561 --> 00:04:23,931 the whole embedded presupposition of evolution 30 00:04:24,131 --> 00:04:26,500 and the geologic column and all of these things 31 00:04:26,667 --> 00:04:28,902 which tell students as they come along 32 00:04:29,069 --> 00:04:31,372 that the Earth has existed for millions, 33 00:04:31,539 --> 00:04:33,273 if not billions of years, 34 00:04:33,474 --> 00:04:36,944 that man is a product simply of natural succession. 35 00:04:37,144 --> 00:04:39,847 A flood is a supernatural event. 36 00:04:40,013 --> 00:04:42,550 A flood is a divine judgment. 37 00:04:42,716 --> 00:04:44,918 A flood destroyed mankind. 38 00:04:45,085 --> 00:04:46,554 And they're not told 39 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,589 that there are evidences of these things. 40 00:04:48,756 --> 00:04:51,892 They aren't shown the historicity of Genesis 41 00:04:52,059 --> 00:04:54,695 to say that this holds up very well 42 00:04:54,862 --> 00:04:56,864 in terms of our scientific age. 43 00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:58,432 So it's simply, you know, on the one hand, 44 00:04:58,599 --> 00:05:00,200 a lack of information, 45 00:05:00,368 --> 00:05:02,603 -and then on the other hand... -The fear of man. 46 00:05:02,770 --> 00:05:04,938 For the same reason that they don't believe in a lot of the things 47 00:05:05,105 --> 00:05:07,074 that the Bible says are literally true, 48 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,276 literally history, and literally science. 49 00:05:09,443 --> 00:05:10,744 The fear of looking silly 50 00:05:10,911 --> 00:05:12,780 and the intimidation by people 51 00:05:12,946 --> 00:05:16,950 who host science television shows and wear white lab coats. 52 00:05:17,117 --> 00:05:18,786 I think it's really 53 00:05:18,952 --> 00:05:21,321 that they're afraid of appearing silly in any way. 54 00:05:21,522 --> 00:05:24,658 But when you actually go past the surface 55 00:05:24,858 --> 00:05:28,429 and look at the feasibility of it and the historicity of it, 56 00:05:28,596 --> 00:05:32,065 it's almost inescapably plausible. 57 00:05:32,232 --> 00:05:34,835 Conventional scientists, the secular scientists 58 00:05:35,035 --> 00:05:37,505 think that the present is the key to the past. 59 00:05:37,705 --> 00:05:39,139 The Bible, in fact, tells us 60 00:05:39,306 --> 00:05:40,941 that the past is the key to the present, 61 00:05:41,108 --> 00:05:43,176 and the flood is key to understanding 62 00:05:43,377 --> 00:05:45,278 why the world is the way it is today. 63 00:05:45,446 --> 00:05:47,815 Not just the geology, but even the humanity. 64 00:05:47,981 --> 00:05:51,118 Understanding the ark and the flood is very relevant 65 00:05:51,284 --> 00:05:53,353 to understanding why the world is the way it is today 66 00:05:53,554 --> 00:05:55,022 and how we got to be here. 67 00:05:55,222 --> 00:05:57,090 Everyone is interested in their history, 68 00:05:57,257 --> 00:06:00,628 and the flood is key to understanding our roots. 69 00:06:00,794 --> 00:06:02,830 In the early 19th century, 70 00:06:02,996 --> 00:06:05,766 when the idea of millions of years was developed, 71 00:06:05,933 --> 00:06:08,936 it developed as a result of a conscious rejection 72 00:06:09,102 --> 00:06:12,305 of the flood and the biblical chronology. 73 00:06:12,473 --> 00:06:14,842 Most of the church came to the conclusion 74 00:06:15,008 --> 00:06:16,343 that the flood wasn't global, 75 00:06:16,510 --> 00:06:19,179 it wasn't really geologically significant, 76 00:06:19,346 --> 00:06:21,214 the age of the Earth doesn't matter, 77 00:06:21,415 --> 00:06:24,384 and so over the next 100-150 years, 78 00:06:24,585 --> 00:06:26,654 the flood was just kind of forgotten. 79 00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:29,723 And it still, in large measure today, 80 00:06:29,923 --> 00:06:31,659 is ignored by most Christians. 81 00:06:31,825 --> 00:06:35,195 They just never think of it and its relationship 82 00:06:35,362 --> 00:06:36,630 to the question of the age of the Earth, 83 00:06:36,797 --> 00:06:38,532 but it's critically important. 84 00:06:38,699 --> 00:06:40,901 We can go back and we can see 85 00:06:41,101 --> 00:06:42,970 in the fossil record, for example, what happened. 86 00:06:43,136 --> 00:06:44,672 When we look at the world around us, 87 00:06:44,838 --> 00:06:47,475 we look at all of those hundreds of rock layers, 88 00:06:47,641 --> 00:06:49,176 they're sedimentary layers. 89 00:06:49,342 --> 00:06:50,911 That means they were laid down by water. 90 00:06:51,111 --> 00:06:52,746 The flood was a reminder that God judges sin, 91 00:06:52,946 --> 00:06:55,382 and God said He's gonna judge the world again. 92 00:06:55,549 --> 00:06:58,719 He sent the flood to punish evil at that time, 93 00:06:58,886 --> 00:07:01,555 and that's why God sent the flood. 94 00:07:01,722 --> 00:07:03,824 It's important to punish evil. 95 00:07:03,991 --> 00:07:05,559 -That's justice. -Justice. 96 00:07:05,726 --> 00:07:07,360 What is just? 97 00:07:08,361 --> 00:07:11,765 The reason the ark is so amazingly relevant to the flood 98 00:07:11,965 --> 00:07:14,067 is because man's sin 99 00:07:14,234 --> 00:07:16,369 -deserves judgment. -Judgment. 100 00:07:17,471 --> 00:07:20,207 The Bible clearly reveals that we are now approaching the time 101 00:07:20,373 --> 00:07:24,111 when the second global judgment will come. 102 00:07:24,311 --> 00:07:25,946 If we don't understand or believe 103 00:07:26,146 --> 00:07:27,881 in the first global judgment, 104 00:07:28,315 --> 00:07:32,753 then we will not be ready for the final global judgment. 105 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,422 So the consequences of the next judgment 106 00:07:35,589 --> 00:07:38,425 could not possibly be more relevant. 107 00:07:38,592 --> 00:07:41,428 What is at stake is heaven or hell. 108 00:07:43,230 --> 00:07:45,699 [edgy music] 109 00:07:47,535 --> 00:07:49,870 [narrator] The Holy Bible. 110 00:07:51,171 --> 00:07:55,042 A book inspired and architected by God 111 00:07:55,208 --> 00:07:56,744 and written by His people, 112 00:07:57,878 --> 00:08:01,582 dating back to the beginning of real human history 113 00:08:01,749 --> 00:08:04,652 from the time of man's true origins. 114 00:08:05,385 --> 00:08:06,887 A book that teaches us 115 00:08:07,054 --> 00:08:09,590 that the Earth is not millions of years old, 116 00:08:09,757 --> 00:08:11,825 as we've been brought up to believe. 117 00:08:12,793 --> 00:08:16,897 A book teaching us that we did not come from monkeys or apes 118 00:08:17,064 --> 00:08:18,799 or primordial soup. 119 00:08:18,966 --> 00:08:23,503 But a book that instead shows us our creator 120 00:08:23,704 --> 00:08:27,340 is a loving, merciful, and just God. 121 00:08:28,108 --> 00:08:30,443 A God who created a beautiful world 122 00:08:30,611 --> 00:08:34,181 in which the entire planet was once a paradise, 123 00:08:35,616 --> 00:08:37,818 a paradise that He gave to us 124 00:08:37,985 --> 00:08:40,821 to fill up and multiply across. 125 00:08:42,222 --> 00:08:45,626 In Genesis, we're shown that God had finished 126 00:08:45,793 --> 00:08:49,597 all of creation in six literal days, 127 00:08:50,263 --> 00:08:53,834 and that, indeed, everything he had created 128 00:08:54,001 --> 00:08:56,937 was very, very good. 129 00:08:57,104 --> 00:08:59,840 [stirring music] 130 00:09:08,115 --> 00:09:10,884 [stirring music] 131 00:09:12,419 --> 00:09:14,287 In the span of four days, 132 00:09:14,454 --> 00:09:18,191 God was finished with the heavens and the Earth. 133 00:09:19,126 --> 00:09:21,228 And it was on the fifth day 134 00:09:21,428 --> 00:09:24,632 that He began making the sea creatures, 135 00:09:24,798 --> 00:09:26,533 both great and small. 136 00:09:27,601 --> 00:09:29,670 And on that very same day, 137 00:09:29,837 --> 00:09:33,073 He also made all of the exotic flying creatures, 138 00:09:35,275 --> 00:09:38,211 which flew through the open firmament 139 00:09:38,378 --> 00:09:39,579 of the beautiful heaven. 140 00:09:42,983 --> 00:09:44,584 On the sixth day, 141 00:09:44,785 --> 00:09:47,487 He made all of the majestic land creatures, 142 00:09:49,957 --> 00:09:52,225 which included all of the dinosaurs, 143 00:09:52,392 --> 00:09:54,161 along with mankind. 144 00:09:56,664 --> 00:09:58,899 He also planted a garden, 145 00:09:59,066 --> 00:10:00,768 and in the midst of it, 146 00:10:00,968 --> 00:10:02,402 the Tree of Life. 147 00:10:04,071 --> 00:10:05,438 But there was another tree 148 00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:07,574 God had also placed in the garden, 149 00:10:07,741 --> 00:10:10,878 one that God commanded man 150 00:10:11,845 --> 00:10:13,847 not to eat from. 151 00:10:15,148 --> 00:10:18,285 Sadly, mankind used their free will 152 00:10:18,485 --> 00:10:21,689 to sin against their holy and righteous God. 153 00:10:21,855 --> 00:10:24,591 With free will comes consequences, 154 00:10:24,758 --> 00:10:26,894 and in this case, the consequences of sin 155 00:10:27,060 --> 00:10:30,731 would plunge mankind into darkness. 156 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,968 Before the Fall, God saw everything that He had made, 157 00:10:35,202 --> 00:10:37,537 and it was very good, tov meod. 158 00:10:37,705 --> 00:10:40,473 It was just the way it should have been. 159 00:10:40,674 --> 00:10:43,143 It came forth exactly as he intended. 160 00:10:43,343 --> 00:10:45,713 At the end of Genesis 1, it says it was very good. 161 00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:47,547 "God looked at everything He had made, 162 00:10:47,715 --> 00:10:49,149 and it was very good." 163 00:10:49,349 --> 00:10:52,953 And we get some idea of how good it was 164 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,089 in the last three verses when God says 165 00:10:56,256 --> 00:11:00,060 that both man and the animals and birds were vegetarian. 166 00:11:00,227 --> 00:11:01,895 They didn't eat each other. 167 00:11:02,062 --> 00:11:04,597 They ate the plants and the fruit of the plants. 168 00:11:04,765 --> 00:11:08,568 That's telling us a lot about how very good the world was. 169 00:11:08,736 --> 00:11:11,671 Creation was in a state of innocence. 170 00:11:11,872 --> 00:11:14,574 This affirms a fundamental element of God's character. 171 00:11:14,742 --> 00:11:16,109 He is good. 172 00:11:16,276 --> 00:11:18,912 God is not the author of evil or death. 173 00:11:19,079 --> 00:11:22,415 God came into the garden, He had fellowship with man, 174 00:11:22,582 --> 00:11:26,586 and they could actually communicate with Him and see Him, 175 00:11:26,754 --> 00:11:30,423 according to the way we understand the pre-Fall condition. 176 00:11:30,590 --> 00:11:31,792 They would have lived forever. 177 00:11:31,959 --> 00:11:33,460 God warned him beforehand, 178 00:11:33,626 --> 00:11:35,796 "If you eat from this, you're going to die." 179 00:11:35,963 --> 00:11:37,264 Well, Adam did eat. 180 00:11:37,430 --> 00:11:38,932 God told Adam, "You're gonna die." 181 00:11:39,099 --> 00:11:40,433 God said, "From dust you came, 182 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:41,869 and to dust you shall return," 183 00:11:42,069 --> 00:11:43,536 so that's physical death. 184 00:11:43,737 --> 00:11:45,773 Through one man, sin entered the world, 185 00:11:45,939 --> 00:11:47,540 and death through sin. 186 00:11:47,741 --> 00:11:50,110 Adam and Eve began to die physically. 187 00:11:50,277 --> 00:11:53,613 The fall of man affected the whole creation. 188 00:11:53,781 --> 00:11:54,982 The ground was cursed. 189 00:11:55,148 --> 00:11:57,517 The whole creation is groaning 190 00:11:57,684 --> 00:12:00,120 in bondage to corruption. 191 00:12:00,287 --> 00:12:02,189 Sadly, the reality of the Fall 192 00:12:02,355 --> 00:12:05,192 is now easily seen wherever we look. 193 00:12:05,358 --> 00:12:07,727 In this broken world, we see pervasive death, 194 00:12:07,928 --> 00:12:11,464 violence, corruption, lies, hate, and sin. 195 00:12:11,631 --> 00:12:15,702 Man is exiled from the place of God's own presence, 196 00:12:15,869 --> 00:12:19,406 and that fellowship is not restored as it was. 197 00:12:19,606 --> 00:12:22,876 Man is going to have to labor by the sweat of his brow, 198 00:12:23,043 --> 00:12:26,679 and then he will return to the dust from which he was made. 199 00:12:26,847 --> 00:12:28,548 That is what has happened to the world. 200 00:12:28,715 --> 00:12:30,417 So it describes entropy, 201 00:12:30,617 --> 00:12:33,921 the whole idea that things are subject to decay, 202 00:12:34,121 --> 00:12:36,223 dissolution, finally death. 203 00:12:36,389 --> 00:12:37,991 The whole world is like this. 204 00:12:38,158 --> 00:12:40,760 It has a limited shelf life, so to speak. 205 00:12:40,961 --> 00:12:43,230 It changed the world profoundly. 206 00:12:43,396 --> 00:12:46,599 Pretty much everything was corrupted, the human soul. 207 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,738 Even the creatures were suddenly carnivorous or poisonous. 208 00:12:51,905 --> 00:12:55,775 Diseases and viruses emerged that were otherwise benign. 209 00:12:55,976 --> 00:12:57,277 It just radically changed everything. 210 00:12:57,477 --> 00:12:58,445 It even changed plants. 211 00:12:58,645 --> 00:13:00,047 Plants suddenly became weeds 212 00:13:00,213 --> 00:13:01,581 and choked out the crops. 213 00:13:01,748 --> 00:13:03,116 The ground was cursed. 214 00:13:03,316 --> 00:13:04,918 Thorns and thistles began to grow. 215 00:13:05,085 --> 00:13:07,587 We don't live in the original very good creation. 216 00:13:07,754 --> 00:13:10,557 We live in a fallen creation, a cursed creation. 217 00:13:10,723 --> 00:13:14,527 The Fall was a massive, catastrophic, 218 00:13:14,694 --> 00:13:16,964 world-changing event. 219 00:13:17,164 --> 00:13:18,765 So everything was corrupted. 220 00:13:18,932 --> 00:13:22,069 It was a tragedy on the highest possible level. 221 00:13:22,235 --> 00:13:24,037 Evil had to mature 222 00:13:24,204 --> 00:13:27,207 before God unleashed the first judgment. 223 00:13:27,374 --> 00:13:30,143 [ethereal music] 224 00:13:33,246 --> 00:13:36,383 [narrator] The Lord God had made a beautiful world 225 00:13:37,417 --> 00:13:41,121 in which everything was once very good. 226 00:13:42,255 --> 00:13:45,092 But when the first man broke God's command, 227 00:13:45,258 --> 00:13:48,896 man's domain was plunged into sin and death, 228 00:13:50,197 --> 00:13:53,733 which only grew worse with the progression of time. 229 00:13:55,869 --> 00:13:58,939 And it was not just men who had been corrupted, 230 00:13:59,106 --> 00:14:02,575 but all under man's dominion. 231 00:14:03,110 --> 00:14:05,612 Animals became carnivores 232 00:14:05,778 --> 00:14:08,481 and turned on each other and man. 233 00:14:10,617 --> 00:14:14,021 Where once the Earth had been filled with God's goodness, 234 00:14:14,221 --> 00:14:18,525 now was filled with the celebration of evil 235 00:14:18,725 --> 00:14:20,293 and endless violence. 236 00:14:23,796 --> 00:14:27,134 Paradise, along with man's innocence, 237 00:14:28,335 --> 00:14:29,502 was now gone. 238 00:14:30,603 --> 00:14:33,306 [ominous music] 239 00:14:40,847 --> 00:14:43,550

too would the world become again 243 00:15:00,433 --> 00:15:02,802 just before His return. 244 00:15:05,272 --> 00:15:07,975 [ominous music] 245 00:15:17,484 --> 00:15:19,919 [ominous music] 246

point out that the world, the Earth 250 00:15:52,485 --> 00:15:56,889 had a more global warm mild climate, 251 00:15:57,057 --> 00:15:59,392 and the evolutionists believe that too. 252 00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:01,228 It's not just because of continental drift 253 00:16:01,394 --> 00:16:05,532 that we find pine tree forests and dinosaur fossils 254 00:16:05,698 --> 00:16:06,899 on Antarctica. 255 00:16:07,067 --> 00:16:08,201 Not just because those continents 256 00:16:08,368 --> 00:16:10,203 were once in different places, 257 00:16:10,370 --> 00:16:14,607 but because the Earth had a warmer, milder, global climate, 258 00:16:14,774 --> 00:16:17,277 heavier, lusher vegetation, 259 00:16:17,444 --> 00:16:19,912 greener, thicker forests 260 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,382 that stretched further towards the poles 261 00:16:22,549 --> 00:16:24,551 and away from the equatorial zones. 262 00:16:24,717 --> 00:16:27,120 Right now, we just don't have the kinds of forests 263 00:16:27,287 --> 00:16:30,223 that could generate the coal deposits that we have 264 00:16:30,390 --> 00:16:34,594 or provided the vast source 265 00:16:34,761 --> 00:16:38,231 for the carbon that would have been necessary 266 00:16:38,398 --> 00:16:40,500 for the coal seams that we have today. 267 00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:43,336 We would have had to have had a lusher, warmer, 268 00:16:43,536 --> 00:16:47,107 more forested, more vegetated Earth. 269 00:16:47,274 --> 00:16:50,009 Clearly, the amount of vegetation in the pre-flood world 270 00:16:50,210 --> 00:16:51,944 was far superior, 271 00:16:52,112 --> 00:16:53,513 far more luxuriant. 272 00:16:53,713 --> 00:16:56,416 Today's world is a desert by comparison 273 00:16:56,583 --> 00:16:58,485 to what the pre-flood world would have been like, 274 00:16:58,651 --> 00:17:02,322 a much gentler topography, a much easier climate, 275 00:17:02,489 --> 00:17:05,592 much more prolific vegetation and animal life. 276 00:17:05,758 --> 00:17:07,927 We have many creatures in the fossil record 277 00:17:08,095 --> 00:17:09,129 that are just like today, 278 00:17:09,296 --> 00:17:10,530 but they were much larger. 279 00:17:10,730 --> 00:17:12,499 So giantism in the fossil record. 280 00:17:12,665 --> 00:17:15,135 That indicates that the pre-flood world 281 00:17:15,302 --> 00:17:19,106 was much more suitable for biological life. 282 00:17:19,272 --> 00:17:23,009 Originally at least, it wouldn't have had impassable mountain ranges. 283 00:17:23,176 --> 00:17:25,011 It wouldn't have had huge desert areas. 284 00:17:25,178 --> 00:17:27,347 God created the world to be inhabited. 285 00:17:27,514 --> 00:17:29,349 Prior to the flood, mankind had wrecked 286 00:17:29,516 --> 00:17:31,284 their environment to a large degree. 287 00:17:31,451 --> 00:17:33,353 The Bible talks about the wickedness of men. 288 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,289 In Genesis 6, it speaks of "Every thought of man's heart 289 00:17:36,456 --> 00:17:38,458 was only evil continually," 290 00:17:38,625 --> 00:17:41,328 and that the whole world was filled with violence because of man. 291 00:17:41,494 --> 00:17:44,997 To me, I think it would be a very frightful place to live. 292 00:17:45,165 --> 00:17:47,033 The intents and thoughts of the human heart 293 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,336 were only evil continually. 294 00:17:49,502 --> 00:17:52,038 The Earth was filled with violence, 295 00:17:52,205 --> 00:17:55,041 and all flesh had corrupted its way on the Earth. 296 00:17:55,208 --> 00:18:00,012 So it was excessive sin and violence and wickedness, 297 00:18:00,180 --> 00:18:02,982 and God said, "I'm going to destroy the Earth." 298 00:18:03,150 --> 00:18:05,185 The remnant Noah and his family, 299 00:18:05,352 --> 00:18:07,086 they found grace in God's sight. 300 00:18:07,287 --> 00:18:09,156 Apparently they were not of those that were corrupted, 301 00:18:09,322 --> 00:18:12,024 and God took that remnant of mankind, 302 00:18:12,192 --> 00:18:13,726 was able to preserve it. 303 00:18:13,893 --> 00:18:15,762 But one of the things people find interesting 304 00:18:15,962 --> 00:18:18,498 is the lifespans of humans before the flood. 305 00:18:18,665 --> 00:18:20,567 And Noah was 600 years old, 306 00:18:20,733 --> 00:18:24,103 and after he got off the ark, he lived 350 more years. 307 00:18:24,304 --> 00:18:26,739 He was 950 years old when he died. 308 00:18:26,906 --> 00:18:29,842 Now, his sons that got off the ark 309 00:18:30,009 --> 00:18:31,678 didn't live that long themselves, 310 00:18:31,844 --> 00:18:34,447 but they lived into their 500s. 311 00:18:34,647 --> 00:18:37,217 And then the next generation and the next generation, 312 00:18:37,384 --> 00:18:39,452 the 400s, the 300s. 313 00:18:39,652 --> 00:18:42,021 We are getting to Terah, Abraham's father, 314 00:18:42,189 --> 00:18:43,190 living into his 200s. 315 00:18:43,356 --> 00:18:45,091 Abraham lived to be 175. 316 00:18:45,258 --> 00:18:49,061 And it was an exponential decay in the lifespans. 317 00:18:49,229 --> 00:18:50,630 Adam and Eve had no mutations. 318 00:18:50,830 --> 00:18:53,400 The first 10 patriarchs before the flood 319 00:18:53,566 --> 00:18:55,568 had very low mutation rates, 320 00:18:55,735 --> 00:18:58,405 and so they were all living to be about the same age. 321 00:18:58,571 --> 00:19:00,740 Something happened at the time of the flood, 322 00:19:00,907 --> 00:19:04,110 and that's when this incredible degeneration 323 00:19:04,277 --> 00:19:05,745 of humanity happened. 324 00:19:05,912 --> 00:19:09,916 There was this incredible decline in longevity. 325 00:19:10,082 --> 00:19:12,819 When you plot the data, it's astounding. 326 00:19:13,019 --> 00:19:16,256 Because the data, which is straight out of the Bible, 327 00:19:16,423 --> 00:19:19,426 and you wouldn't expect scientific data in the Bible, 328 00:19:19,592 --> 00:19:23,896 but the data follows a strict decay curve, 329 00:19:24,063 --> 00:19:25,298 and it's stunning. 330 00:19:25,465 --> 00:19:27,300 [cautious music] 331 00:19:27,467 --> 00:19:29,502 [narrator] In the Bible, we are told that before the flood, 332 00:19:29,702 --> 00:19:31,971 men lived to be nearly a thousand years old. 333 00:19:32,138 --> 00:19:33,773 The average age of men at the time 334 00:19:33,940 --> 00:19:36,743 was so staggeringly high compared to today 335 00:19:36,909 --> 00:19:38,778 that some have a difficult time 336 00:19:38,945 --> 00:19:42,815 comprehending how such longevity was even possible. 337 00:19:42,982 --> 00:19:45,752 Yet, a major clue lies within the ages 338 00:19:45,918 --> 00:19:48,154 given to us in the book of Genesis. 339 00:19:48,321 --> 00:19:51,491 In almost computer-like fashion, the book of Genesis reveals 340 00:19:51,658 --> 00:19:52,992 that the post-flood lifespans 341 00:19:53,159 --> 00:19:55,595 of the genealogical line of Adam 342 00:19:55,762 --> 00:20:00,032 following mathematical concepts known as exponential decay. 343 00:20:00,233 --> 00:20:02,769 Meaning that if you were to graph the lifespans 344 00:20:02,935 --> 00:20:04,837 of all of the men after the flood, 345 00:20:05,004 --> 00:20:08,475 you don't see a linear line gradually sloping down, 346 00:20:08,641 --> 00:20:11,177 as you would likely see if the ages were made up, 347 00:20:11,344 --> 00:20:15,482 but instead, what you see is an exponentially decaying curve 348 00:20:15,648 --> 00:20:19,151 with minor variations since no two people are alike. 349 00:20:19,319 --> 00:20:22,555 Would the men who recorded these ages through history 350 00:20:22,755 --> 00:20:25,458 really have conspired together to create data 351 00:20:25,625 --> 00:20:28,828 that follows an exponential decay curve? 352 00:20:28,995 --> 00:20:32,832 Instead, what we see resembles exactly the type of data 353 00:20:32,999 --> 00:20:36,369 we would expect in the aftermath of a worldwide flood, 354 00:20:36,536 --> 00:20:39,339 revealing a steep initial drop-off of lifespans 355 00:20:39,506 --> 00:20:41,040 just after the flood 356 00:20:41,207 --> 00:20:44,844 due to the catastrophic environmental changes. 357 00:20:45,011 --> 00:20:47,814 No more access to nutrient-dense foods 358 00:20:47,980 --> 00:20:49,682 from the world that was lost 359 00:20:49,849 --> 00:20:53,320 and genetic mutations that were not before present. 360 00:20:53,486 --> 00:20:55,221 The truth is that no one 361 00:20:55,388 --> 00:20:57,223 at the time of recording these metrics 362 00:20:57,390 --> 00:21:01,060 would even think to plot them in an exponential decay curve 363 00:21:01,227 --> 00:21:03,195 if they were making a fiction. 364 00:21:03,363 --> 00:21:06,999 This sophisticated decay curve is actually the result 365 00:21:07,166 --> 00:21:10,937 of a real and easily provable flood event. 366 00:21:11,137 --> 00:21:14,240 [pensive music] 367 00:21:14,407 --> 00:21:16,175 The objections to Noah's flood 368 00:21:16,343 --> 00:21:18,611 are mostly ridicule 369 00:21:18,811 --> 00:21:20,880 and laugh out louds. 370 00:21:21,047 --> 00:21:22,949 The only serious things are maybe trying to say, 371 00:21:23,149 --> 00:21:24,617 "Well, where did the water go? 372 00:21:24,817 --> 00:21:26,453 Where did the water come from?" 373 00:21:26,653 --> 00:21:29,288 And then lampooning Noah's Ark. 374 00:21:29,489 --> 00:21:31,624 There was a Discover Channel special 375 00:21:31,824 --> 00:21:34,461 called "Noah's Ark: The True Story," 376 00:21:34,661 --> 00:21:37,930 where they showed actors portraying 377 00:21:38,097 --> 00:21:42,702 the traditional biblical version of the story of Noah's Ark, 378 00:21:42,869 --> 00:21:45,204 and then they showed you the true story. 379 00:21:45,372 --> 00:21:48,808 And Noah was dressed in a tunic, was bare-chested, 380 00:21:49,008 --> 00:21:51,478 had a shaved head, looked like an Egyptian, 381 00:21:51,678 --> 00:21:55,782 and Noah's Ark was a beer barge. 382 00:21:55,948 --> 00:21:58,084 I'm not kidding, look it up. 383 00:21:58,250 --> 00:22:02,655 Discover Channel, "Noah's Ark: The True Story?" 384 00:22:02,855 --> 00:22:04,591 How do they know that? 385 00:22:04,757 --> 00:22:06,993 Asserting that that's what the real story was, 386 00:22:07,193 --> 00:22:10,096 and then watched it fall apart into pieces 387 00:22:10,262 --> 00:22:12,732 as it, of course, was structurally not sound, 388 00:22:12,899 --> 00:22:15,267 ridiculing the structure of the ark. 389 00:22:15,435 --> 00:22:18,771 When I was a masters student at Ohio State University, 390 00:22:18,938 --> 00:22:21,140 I looked at the geometry 391 00:22:21,307 --> 00:22:23,142 of the cross-section 392 00:22:23,309 --> 00:22:24,944 and of the length 393 00:22:25,111 --> 00:22:27,747 of just the straightforward reading of the Bible. 394 00:22:27,914 --> 00:22:31,250 And I found out that it's dynamically stable, 395 00:22:31,418 --> 00:22:34,353 90 degrees in pitch mode 396 00:22:34,554 --> 00:22:36,288 and 90 degrees in yaw mode, 397 00:22:36,823 --> 00:22:40,126 meaning it'll go all up to 90 degrees and it'll come back. 398 00:22:40,292 --> 00:22:41,794 It's stable. 399 00:22:41,961 --> 00:22:43,663 Not that that wouldn't have caused problems 400 00:22:43,830 --> 00:22:45,297 for the people and the animals in the ark 401 00:22:45,465 --> 00:22:46,799 if it had been tilted that much, 402 00:22:46,966 --> 00:22:48,768 but that does show the stability. 403 00:22:49,168 --> 00:22:52,371 Certainly whatever they could have taken in the turbulence, 404 00:22:52,572 --> 00:22:54,707 the ark could have taken structurally. 405 00:22:54,907 --> 00:22:59,045 This is a 200-scale ark, and I put it in my swimming pool, 406 00:22:59,245 --> 00:23:01,681 and we put a measurement device on here that was one inch, 407 00:23:01,848 --> 00:23:04,216 and so we were able to scale the waves. 408 00:23:04,417 --> 00:23:08,521 And do you know that it scaled to 500-foot waves, 409 00:23:08,688 --> 00:23:09,789 and it was still stable. 410 00:23:09,956 --> 00:23:12,191 Never turned over, 500 foot. 411 00:23:12,358 --> 00:23:14,527 A tsunami, by the way, is about a hundred feet. 412 00:23:14,694 --> 00:23:17,864 So, it lets you know about the dynamic stability of this. 413 00:23:18,030 --> 00:23:21,133 Most of biology didn't need to be on the ark. 414 00:23:21,300 --> 00:23:23,035 Most plants didn't need to be on the ark. 415 00:23:23,202 --> 00:23:25,371 Most insects didn't need to be on the ark. 416 00:23:25,538 --> 00:23:28,207 Only the creatures that have breath in their lungs. 417 00:23:28,374 --> 00:23:30,342 Most of the species live in the ocean, 418 00:23:30,510 --> 00:23:32,211 which do just fine in a flood. 419 00:23:32,378 --> 00:23:34,647 So the Bible doesn't say that Noah was to take 420 00:23:34,814 --> 00:23:36,816 two of every species onto the ark. 421 00:23:36,983 --> 00:23:39,018 He was to take two of every kind, 422 00:23:39,185 --> 00:23:41,387 the same word that's used in Genesis 1 423 00:23:41,554 --> 00:23:43,723 that talks about God creating different kinds 424 00:23:43,890 --> 00:23:46,593 of plants and animals to reproduce after their kind. 425 00:23:46,793 --> 00:23:50,162 And so we think there were maybe only about 1,400 kinds 426 00:23:50,329 --> 00:23:53,165 and about 7,000 animals on the ark. 427 00:23:53,332 --> 00:23:57,369 Average size, maybe a large sheep or a small cow, 428 00:23:57,537 --> 00:23:59,872 but most creatures much smaller than that. 429 00:24:00,039 --> 00:24:01,874 We're not talking about, for example, 430 00:24:02,041 --> 00:24:04,410 two Great Danes, two German Shepherds, 431 00:24:04,577 --> 00:24:06,713 two wolves, two coyotes. 432 00:24:06,879 --> 00:24:09,516 He took two of the dog kind on the ark, 433 00:24:09,682 --> 00:24:11,584 and we know from modern genetics 434 00:24:11,751 --> 00:24:14,086 that there's tremendous genetic variation 435 00:24:14,253 --> 00:24:18,390 built into the DNA for each kind of creature. 436 00:24:18,558 --> 00:24:21,861 And so, creation scientists have been studying, 437 00:24:22,028 --> 00:24:24,063 well, what was the created kind 438 00:24:24,230 --> 00:24:27,567 in comparison to our modern classification system? 439 00:24:27,734 --> 00:24:29,468 And they think that in most cases, 440 00:24:29,669 --> 00:24:33,405 it was equivalent to approximately the family level. 441 00:24:33,573 --> 00:24:35,474 The evolutionists just exaggerate 442 00:24:35,675 --> 00:24:37,744 because they focus on species. 443 00:24:39,378 --> 00:24:41,280 [narrator]Evolutionists often claim that 444 00:24:41,447 --> 00:24:44,617 it would not be possible to fit all of the species of life on Earth 445 00:24:44,784 --> 00:24:47,119 onto a ship the size of the ark, 446 00:24:47,286 --> 00:24:49,255 even when factoring just how humongous 447 00:24:49,421 --> 00:24:51,423 Noah's Ark actually was. 448 00:24:51,591 --> 00:24:54,393 At roughly 50 feet high, 85 feet wide, 449 00:24:54,561 --> 00:24:56,295 and more than 500 feet long, 450 00:24:56,462 --> 00:24:58,464 the ark is the largest wooden vessel 451 00:24:58,631 --> 00:24:59,966 known to have been built by man, 452 00:25:00,132 --> 00:25:01,634 with the USS Wyoming, 453 00:25:01,801 --> 00:25:04,503 a gigantic wooden schooner built in 1909, 454 00:25:04,704 --> 00:25:07,640 coming in at second at 450 feet long. 455 00:25:07,807 --> 00:25:10,943 Yet regardless of size, imagining how the ark 456 00:25:11,110 --> 00:25:14,146 could fit 18 million species of all life on Earth 457 00:25:14,313 --> 00:25:16,749 is a rather elementary-level way of understanding 458 00:25:16,916 --> 00:25:19,952 the excellent efficiency of the ark's economy. 459 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,321 The reality is that the sea creatures, 460 00:25:22,488 --> 00:25:25,357 insects, invertebrates, and plant species 461 00:25:25,558 --> 00:25:27,860 did not need to be included on the ark. 462 00:25:28,895 --> 00:25:31,163 You see, God instructed Noah 463 00:25:31,330 --> 00:25:34,166 to only bring the vertebrae land animals, 464 00:25:34,333 --> 00:25:36,135 and when you simplify those animals 465 00:25:36,302 --> 00:25:38,971 to their genealogical class structure found in Genesis, 466 00:25:39,138 --> 00:25:41,340 which is known as a kind, 467 00:25:41,507 --> 00:25:43,375 you can further significantly reduce 468 00:25:43,576 --> 00:25:45,812 the number of animal kinds needed 469 00:25:45,978 --> 00:25:48,881 down to around roughly 1,400 kinds 470 00:25:49,081 --> 00:25:52,985 or approximately 6,750 animals in total. 471 00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:56,355 Of those animals, you also don't need to bring 472 00:25:56,522 --> 00:25:58,157 fully mature adults, 473 00:25:58,324 --> 00:26:01,060 when smaller juveniles would fit better, eat less, 474 00:26:01,260 --> 00:26:02,895 waste less, and live longer 475 00:26:03,095 --> 00:26:06,132 while reproducing in the post-flood world. 476 00:26:06,298 --> 00:26:09,836 With roughly 6,750 animals onboard the ark, 477 00:26:10,002 --> 00:26:11,804 we can now also estimate 478 00:26:11,971 --> 00:26:14,741 that approximately 1,400 cages were needed, 479 00:26:14,941 --> 00:26:17,744 and when considering that only 20% of the ark's volume 480 00:26:17,944 --> 00:26:19,511 was needed for food storage, 481 00:26:19,679 --> 00:26:22,481 you can see that we have plenty of room left over 482 00:26:22,649 --> 00:26:24,884 for cages and infrastructure, 483 00:26:25,051 --> 00:26:27,987 with the remaining area able to fit the equivalent 484 00:26:28,154 --> 00:26:33,192 of 483 semi-trailers within its volume. 485 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:34,827 It's also no surprise 486 00:26:34,994 --> 00:26:37,063 that the dimensions God gave for the ark 487 00:26:37,229 --> 00:26:39,899 turn out to be optimal for stability. 488 00:26:40,066 --> 00:26:42,168 In fact, if we were to scale the ark up, 489 00:26:42,334 --> 00:26:44,203 it appears that modern cruise ships 490 00:26:44,370 --> 00:26:46,438 have taken notes from the ark's dimensions, 491 00:26:46,639 --> 00:26:48,540 as you can see striking similarities 492 00:26:48,708 --> 00:26:51,944 in shapes and proportions that they share. 493 00:26:52,144 --> 00:26:54,947 As you can observe, the influences of the ark 494 00:26:55,147 --> 00:26:56,883 are alive and well today 495 00:26:57,049 --> 00:26:59,018 and have long-reaching implications 496 00:26:59,185 --> 00:27:01,620 in virtually every field of science, 497 00:27:01,821 --> 00:27:04,891 including baraminology, botany, 498 00:27:05,057 --> 00:27:08,695 hydrodynamics, anthropology, and more. 499 00:27:09,561 --> 00:27:12,564 But as compelling as the science behind the ark is, 500 00:27:12,732 --> 00:27:14,801 we must not forget that it is God 501 00:27:15,001 --> 00:27:17,069 who orchestrated the events. 502 00:27:17,236 --> 00:27:21,741 It was God who decided the time to judge the world had come. 503 00:27:23,075 --> 00:27:26,145 And it was God who was ultimately responsible 504 00:27:26,345 --> 00:27:29,448 for the deliverance of all who were aboard the ark. 505 00:27:30,516 --> 00:27:33,119 [solemn music] 506 00:27:42,128 --> 00:27:44,764 [solemn music] 507 00:27:53,139 --> 00:27:55,641 [solemn music] 508 00:27:55,808 --> 00:27:58,510 In the second book of Peter, 509 00:27:58,711 --> 00:28:01,513 we are told that in the last days 510 00:28:01,714 --> 00:28:04,316 before Jesus Christ returns, 511 00:28:04,483 --> 00:28:09,621 people would deliberately ignore the evidence of the flood. 512 00:28:09,789 --> 00:28:11,457 Or as the Bible puts it, 513 00:28:11,623 --> 00:28:15,694 they would be willingly ignorant of the flood. 514 00:28:16,796 --> 00:28:19,265 Peter tells us that in the last days, 515 00:28:19,431 --> 00:28:21,633 men would mock the Bible 516 00:28:21,801 --> 00:28:24,136 and the second coming of Jesus Christ, 517 00:28:24,303 --> 00:28:29,508 and instead, they would walk after their own lusts, 518 00:28:29,675 --> 00:28:33,112 just like they did in Noah's day. 519 00:28:35,281 --> 00:28:38,985 You see, just as Noah had faith 520 00:28:39,151 --> 00:28:42,188 to carry out God's command to build the ark 521 00:28:42,354 --> 00:28:44,390 and just as Noah had faith 522 00:28:44,590 --> 00:28:47,894 that God would bring them through the flood, 523 00:28:49,128 --> 00:28:53,232 so we too must have faith 524 00:28:53,432 --> 00:28:55,567 that God was perfectly capable 525 00:28:55,768 --> 00:28:58,704 of preserving Noah, his family, 526 00:28:58,871 --> 00:29:02,074 and all of the creatures aboard the ark. 527 00:29:03,542 --> 00:29:05,744 Is it too difficult a thing 528 00:29:05,945 --> 00:29:10,682 for the God who created the universe and everything in it 529 00:29:10,850 --> 00:29:14,353 to preserve the life that he chooses? 530 00:29:15,687 --> 00:29:16,856 Of course not. 531 00:29:18,324 --> 00:29:21,060 So let us not be counted 532 00:29:21,227 --> 00:29:23,762 among those who Peter prophesied 533 00:29:23,963 --> 00:29:27,233 would ignore the evidence of the flood, 534 00:29:27,399 --> 00:29:31,737 since we are indeed living near the end. 535 00:29:34,874 --> 00:29:38,244 Instead, let us be named 536 00:29:38,410 --> 00:29:40,079 among those who believe 537 00:29:40,246 --> 00:29:43,049 in God and His word. 538 00:29:48,220 --> 00:29:50,622 The Bible says that on the day 539 00:29:50,823 --> 00:29:53,459 that the rains of the flood began, 540 00:29:53,659 --> 00:29:56,262 all of the animals with the breath of life 541 00:29:56,428 --> 00:30:00,466 were onboard the ark with Noah and his family, 542 00:30:00,666 --> 00:30:03,903 and it was God Himself who would shut them all in 543 00:30:04,070 --> 00:30:07,306 and save them from the coming judgment. 544 00:30:12,178 --> 00:30:13,412 The global nature of the flood 545 00:30:13,579 --> 00:30:14,981 is given in the biblical text, 546 00:30:15,181 --> 00:30:16,782 and it's quite clear, 547 00:30:16,949 --> 00:30:19,118 especially going to the original terms that are used. 548 00:30:19,351 --> 00:30:21,453 Term for the flood itself is mabbul. 549 00:30:21,687 --> 00:30:24,490 The unique Hebrew word mabbul. 550 00:30:24,690 --> 00:30:27,459 It's used only one other place in the Old Testament. 551 00:30:27,626 --> 00:30:29,495 That is in Psalm 29:10 552 00:30:29,695 --> 00:30:33,966 where it says that God "sat as King at the flood." 553 00:30:34,133 --> 00:30:36,903 It's a very unique term that sets this account apart 554 00:30:37,069 --> 00:30:38,670 from other types of flood. 555 00:30:38,871 --> 00:30:40,907 So this was a unique flood. 556 00:30:41,073 --> 00:30:43,109 First we could talk about the flood itself, 557 00:30:43,275 --> 00:30:44,676 the purpose of the flood. 558 00:30:44,877 --> 00:30:46,312 Contrary to what many think, 559 00:30:46,478 --> 00:30:48,780 it was not simply to destroy sinful man, 560 00:30:48,948 --> 00:30:51,150 but also Genesis 6 tells us 561 00:30:51,317 --> 00:30:53,619 to destroy all the land animals and birds 562 00:30:53,785 --> 00:30:55,287 not on the ark with Noah 563 00:30:55,454 --> 00:30:57,656 and to destroy the surface of the Earth, 564 00:30:57,823 --> 00:31:00,826 and only a global flood would accomplish that purpose. 565 00:31:00,993 --> 00:31:03,029 Then we can talk about the ark. 566 00:31:03,229 --> 00:31:06,298 The purpose of the ark was not to save a few animals 567 00:31:06,465 --> 00:31:09,168 so Noah could start a farm after the flood. 568 00:31:09,335 --> 00:31:11,837 It was, as Genesis 7:3 says, 569 00:31:12,004 --> 00:31:15,141 "To keep offspring alive on the face of all the Earth." 570 00:31:15,307 --> 00:31:18,277 And then we have the repetition of universal terms. 571 00:31:18,444 --> 00:31:20,546 Everything that is under the whole heaven, 572 00:31:20,746 --> 00:31:22,548 under the whole Earth, 573 00:31:22,748 --> 00:31:24,783 everything in which is the breath of life. 574 00:31:24,951 --> 00:31:28,020 Those words appear sixty times in Genesis 6, 575 00:31:28,187 --> 00:31:30,189 all, every, under heaven, 576 00:31:30,356 --> 00:31:32,891 and when you have a repetition of those words, 577 00:31:33,092 --> 00:31:34,826 that is emphatic. 578 00:31:34,994 --> 00:31:37,496 Secondly, we have the duration of the flood, 579 00:31:37,663 --> 00:31:39,865 370 days. 580 00:31:40,032 --> 00:31:42,969 Why such an extensive flood if it was only local? 581 00:31:43,135 --> 00:31:46,038 Why that duration of the flood? Why would it take so long 582 00:31:46,205 --> 00:31:48,474 for it to recede and dry up? 583 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,909 There's no way a local flood could last that long. 584 00:31:51,110 --> 00:31:52,678 We have the depth of the flood. 585 00:31:52,844 --> 00:31:54,480 It covered all the high mountains 586 00:31:54,646 --> 00:31:56,015 everywhere under the heavens, 587 00:31:56,182 --> 00:31:58,684 and since water seeks a level plane, 588 00:31:58,850 --> 00:32:00,586 it would have to be a global flood. 589 00:32:00,786 --> 00:32:03,522 When the Scripture says that the waters rose 590 00:32:03,689 --> 00:32:07,059 to about 24 feet above the mountains, 591 00:32:07,226 --> 00:32:09,661 even if you give the idea 592 00:32:09,828 --> 00:32:11,863 that the mountains were not as high as they are now, 593 00:32:12,031 --> 00:32:14,200 they were upthrust after the flood, 594 00:32:14,366 --> 00:32:17,403 you still have water only rising to its own level. 595 00:32:17,569 --> 00:32:19,238 If we had a local flood, 596 00:32:19,405 --> 00:32:22,108 then obviously there's no need to build an ark. 597 00:32:22,308 --> 00:32:25,277 If the flood was local in the Middle East, 598 00:32:25,477 --> 00:32:27,879 the ark was totally unnecessary. 599 00:32:28,047 --> 00:32:30,082 The animals didn't need to go in there, 600 00:32:30,249 --> 00:32:32,418 and He could have told Noah and his family 601 00:32:32,584 --> 00:32:34,920 to go on a vacation to Europe or Egypt. 602 00:32:35,087 --> 00:32:37,956 Noah and his family could have walked to a safer place. 603 00:32:38,157 --> 00:32:40,626 And then why an ark at all? 604 00:32:40,826 --> 00:32:42,894 Why such a large ark? 605 00:32:43,062 --> 00:32:44,730 Why all the animals? Why the birds? 606 00:32:44,896 --> 00:32:46,598 The birds could fly away. 607 00:32:46,765 --> 00:32:49,035 Animals, there are animals in other places after all 608 00:32:49,201 --> 00:32:50,436 if it's a local flood. 609 00:32:51,103 --> 00:32:53,739 Just this whole idea of everything included in the ark 610 00:32:53,905 --> 00:32:55,941 by the two of each kind 611 00:32:56,108 --> 00:32:59,578 means you were trying to preserve all of life at that point. 612 00:32:59,745 --> 00:33:02,248 Only a global flood fits the purpose of the ark. 613 00:33:02,414 --> 00:33:04,116 Then we could talk about the volume. 614 00:33:04,283 --> 00:33:08,154 It was way too big if it was just a local flood. 615 00:33:08,354 --> 00:33:11,223 You also have the very theological concept 616 00:33:11,390 --> 00:33:13,059 that if you had men elsewhere 617 00:33:13,225 --> 00:33:15,961 who were not part of the judgment of the flood, 618 00:33:16,128 --> 00:33:19,265 then the whole idea of a judgment on mankind 619 00:33:19,431 --> 00:33:23,302 for corruption of the Earth would make no sense whatsoever. 620 00:33:23,469 --> 00:33:25,637 God says, "I've seen the wickedness of man 621 00:33:25,804 --> 00:33:27,806 that's great on the Earth." 622 00:33:27,973 --> 00:33:29,841 Not just in one local place but on the Earth. 623 00:33:30,042 --> 00:33:31,477 When we come to the New Testament, 624 00:33:31,643 --> 00:33:34,646 you have a passage like 2 Peter 3:5-7. 625 00:33:35,714 --> 00:33:38,917 It compares a flood that destroyed the world that was 626 00:33:39,085 --> 00:33:42,354 with a future judgment on a coming world 627 00:33:42,554 --> 00:33:44,256 or the world that now is. 628 00:33:44,423 --> 00:33:47,959 If you had a local judgment in the past, 629 00:33:48,127 --> 00:33:49,961 you'd have to have a local judgment in the future, 630 00:33:50,129 --> 00:33:53,165 but, of course, this is the second coming of Jesus Christ 631 00:33:53,332 --> 00:33:54,700 to judge His world, 632 00:33:54,900 --> 00:33:56,335 and it has to be universal. 633 00:33:56,502 --> 00:33:58,003 Well, if the flood was just a local event, 634 00:33:58,170 --> 00:33:59,671 then what do you think? 635 00:33:59,838 --> 00:34:01,807 Maybe when Jesus returns, just a local event? 636 00:34:01,973 --> 00:34:05,177 Oh, no, it's gonna be a worldwide judgment as well. 637 00:34:05,344 --> 00:34:06,778 And I would add one last thing, 638 00:34:06,945 --> 00:34:09,815 and that is we can't find the Garden of Eden. 639 00:34:09,981 --> 00:34:11,983 People look at the description 640 00:34:12,151 --> 00:34:16,322 of the geography where the Garden of Eden was in Genesis 2. 641 00:34:16,488 --> 00:34:18,324 The reason we can't find the Garden of Eden 642 00:34:18,490 --> 00:34:21,993 is because the pre-flood world was completely destroyed. 643 00:34:22,161 --> 00:34:25,531 It is now buried under thousands of feet 644 00:34:25,697 --> 00:34:28,567 of sedimentary deposits. 645 00:34:28,767 --> 00:34:31,870 So the flood was not a local flood. 646 00:34:33,038 --> 00:34:35,907 [ominous music] 647 00:34:41,213 --> 00:34:43,415 [narrator] The Bible tells us 648 00:34:43,615 --> 00:34:45,817 that God looked upon His creation, 649 00:34:47,853 --> 00:34:48,820 "and behold, 650 00:34:49,855 --> 00:34:51,890 it was all corrupt, 651 00:34:54,393 --> 00:34:58,730 for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the Earth." 652 00:35:03,402 --> 00:35:06,738 Judgment day had finally come. 653 00:35:08,907 --> 00:35:11,843 [ominous music] 654 00:35:21,220 -->

Earth 674 00:37:42,394 --> 00:37:45,263 to destroy all flesh 675 00:37:46,732 --> 00:37:49,835 wherein is the breath of life 676 00:37:50,001 --> 00:37:51,069 from under heaven, 677 00:37:52,638 -->

geologist on our planet 681 00:38:08,086 --> 00:38:11,056 believes that the planet Mars had a global flood. 682 00:38:11,222 --> 00:38:13,392 Creationists do believe, like the unbelievers, 683 00:38:13,559 --> 00:38:15,427 like the secular geologists believe, 684 00:38:15,594 --> 00:38:17,228 Mars did have a flood. 685 00:38:17,396 --> 00:38:19,398 We think it happened the same time our flood did. 686 00:38:19,565 --> 00:38:21,867 Maybe an asteroid storm 687 00:38:22,033 --> 00:38:24,235 hitting the inner planets, the rocky planets. 688 00:38:24,403 --> 00:38:26,738 Here on our planet, we're now currently covered 689 00:38:26,905 --> 00:38:29,741 70% with water two miles deep, 690 00:38:29,908 --> 00:38:33,144 and they can't buy that we once had a flood? 691 00:38:33,345 --> 00:38:34,913 It's very, very easy for them to believe 692 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:36,548 that Mars had a global flood, 693 00:38:36,715 --> 00:38:38,417 but for some reason, they can't accept 694 00:38:38,584 --> 00:38:40,318 there's plenty of evidence that we've had a flood. 695 00:38:40,519 --> 00:38:43,455 Where did all the water come from for the flood? 696 00:38:43,622 --> 00:38:45,391 I mean, where did it come from and where did it go? 697 00:38:45,557 --> 00:38:47,793 Well, look at the globe. 698 00:38:47,959 --> 00:38:51,229 We're 3/4 covered with water two miles deep now. 699 00:38:51,397 --> 00:38:52,964 It's all still here. 700 00:38:53,131 --> 00:38:54,633 The most asked questions are 701 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,568 where did the water come from for the flood 702 00:38:56,735 --> 00:38:57,836 and where did it go? 703 00:38:58,236 --> 00:39:00,939 And the answer is easily explained 704 00:39:01,106 --> 00:39:03,409 in the model of catastrophic plate tectonics. 705 00:39:03,575 --> 00:39:06,812 The process of catastrophic plate tectonics 706 00:39:06,978 --> 00:39:10,816 is very similar to conventional plate tectonics. 707 00:39:10,982 --> 00:39:13,652 The main difference is the speed or the rate 708 00:39:13,819 --> 00:39:15,854 at which these processes unfold. 709 00:39:16,054 --> 00:39:19,190 Today, the plates are moving about 710 00:39:19,391 --> 00:39:21,660 a few inches per year. 711 00:39:21,827 --> 00:39:23,361 However, during the flood, 712 00:39:23,562 --> 00:39:25,464 a billion times faster. 713 00:39:25,631 --> 00:39:29,034 When the flood began, it began with these fountains 714 00:39:29,234 --> 00:39:31,202 on the bottom of the deep ocean. 715 00:39:31,403 --> 00:39:33,805 Where the Bible even says, "the fountains of the great deep 716 00:39:33,972 --> 00:39:35,541 were opened up." 717 00:39:35,741 --> 00:39:39,010 The mid-ocean ridge is 44,000 miles long. 718 00:39:39,177 --> 00:39:40,679 Most of it is underwater. 719 00:39:40,846 --> 00:39:42,180 That's why they call it the mid-ocean ridge. 720 00:39:42,347 --> 00:39:44,450 And if it all erupted at the same time, 721 00:39:44,616 --> 00:39:48,119 it would have made the ocean floor do this, wom, 722 00:39:48,286 --> 00:39:51,189 and then, phooh, the mid-ocean ridge would have erupted 723 00:39:51,356 --> 00:39:53,459 all around the world at the same time roughly, 724 00:39:53,625 --> 00:39:55,160 but that first phase, wom, 725 00:39:55,326 --> 00:39:59,297 would've caused sea level to rise a mile, plou. 726 00:39:59,465 --> 00:40:01,800 Then this tidal wave coming out 727 00:40:01,967 --> 00:40:04,903 from that sudden rise at the ocean floor in the middle 728 00:40:05,103 --> 00:40:07,372 headed towards the continents. 729 00:40:07,539 --> 00:40:09,808 Now that would have been the phase one of the flood. 730 00:40:09,975 --> 00:40:11,543 The second phase of the flood, it says, 731 00:40:11,710 --> 00:40:14,546 was when "the windows of heaven were opened." 732 00:40:14,713 --> 00:40:16,414 It's no accident 733 00:40:16,615 --> 00:40:19,150 that there's an order given there in the Scriptures. 734 00:40:19,317 --> 00:40:20,919 "The fountains of the deep broke open." 735 00:40:21,119 --> 00:40:22,754 That is the crust breaking open, 736 00:40:22,954 --> 00:40:26,224 the water shooting up, the supersonic steam jets, 737 00:40:26,391 --> 00:40:27,993 and carrying that ocean water up. 738 00:40:28,159 --> 00:40:31,362 Then it fell as global torrential rainfall. 739 00:40:31,530 --> 00:40:32,831 People all know that the flood 740 00:40:32,998 --> 00:40:34,766 was 40 days and 40 nights of rain, 741 00:40:34,966 --> 00:40:39,070 but the waters prevailed upon the Earth for 150 days. 742 00:40:39,237 --> 00:40:41,372 When "the fountains of the great deep broke open," 743 00:40:41,540 --> 00:40:43,341 as the Bible describes, 744 00:40:43,509 --> 00:40:45,410 that's the description of the fracturing 745 00:40:45,577 --> 00:40:47,245 of the pre-flood crust. 746 00:40:47,412 --> 00:40:49,047 You've got molten material 747 00:40:49,214 --> 00:40:51,416 that's expanding as it solidifies. 748 00:40:51,583 --> 00:40:53,084 The new ocean floor expanded. 749 00:40:53,251 --> 00:40:55,186 That pushed up sea level. 750 00:40:55,353 --> 00:40:58,590 That means that the ocean floor is actually gonna rise. 751 00:40:58,757 --> 00:41:01,426 The ocean waters rose up to cover the continents. 752 00:41:01,593 --> 00:41:04,896 The new ocean floor cooled and it shrank, 753 00:41:05,063 --> 00:41:07,566 and therefore, sea level fell, 754 00:41:07,733 --> 00:41:09,568 and the ocean waters drained off. 755 00:41:09,735 --> 00:41:11,937 The floodwaters are still present 756 00:41:12,103 --> 00:41:13,605 on the Earth's surface today. 757 00:41:13,772 --> 00:41:16,542 They went into the new ocean basins 758 00:41:16,708 --> 00:41:19,277 that were produced as a consequence of the flood. 759 00:41:19,444 --> 00:41:22,714 In fact, the Earth is still 70% covered in water. 760 00:41:22,881 --> 00:41:24,650 Yeah, the water's still here. 761 00:41:24,850 --> 00:41:26,251 It's deep in those trenches. 762 00:41:26,417 --> 00:41:27,586 Some of the trenches are 8; 763 00:41:27,753 --> 00:41:30,221 now we find out 10 miles deep. 764 00:41:30,388 --> 00:41:35,293 If we had lower land formations and a higher ocean floor, 765 00:41:35,460 --> 00:41:38,396 we would probably be a water planet today 766 00:41:38,564 --> 00:41:41,299 with no land surface. 767 00:41:41,466 --> 00:41:43,234 And it's scraping the bottom of the barrel 768 00:41:43,401 --> 00:41:45,771 to try to say where did all the water go. 769 00:41:45,937 --> 00:41:47,773 It's still here and it's very easy to explain 770 00:41:47,939 --> 00:41:50,776 that the same water, mostly, the same water that's here 771 00:41:50,942 --> 00:41:53,311 would have been adequate to have flooded the Earth at one time 772 00:41:53,478 --> 00:41:54,946 and that the situation has changed 773 00:41:55,113 --> 00:41:56,682 so that water is now in deeper basins. 774 00:41:56,882 --> 00:41:59,150 Not a problem in the flood model at all. 775 00:42:00,586 --> 00:42:01,787 [narrator] We're all familiar 776 00:42:01,953 --> 00:42:04,255 with the theory about Pangaea, 777 00:42:04,422 --> 00:42:06,825 which holds that the continents were once connected 778 00:42:06,992 --> 00:42:09,761 to form a supercontinent that later broke apart 779 00:42:09,928 --> 00:42:12,931 through a process called plate tectonics. 780 00:42:13,098 --> 00:42:16,334 Catastrophic plate tectonics is essentially the same idea 781 00:42:16,501 --> 00:42:18,604 as conventional plate tectonics, 782 00:42:18,770 --> 00:42:21,272 except that the timeline and events 783 00:42:21,439 --> 00:42:23,842 are all centered around the year of the flood 784 00:42:24,009 --> 00:42:27,478 instead of millions of years of slow processes. 785 00:42:27,646 --> 00:42:29,447 You may be surprised 786 00:42:29,615 --> 00:42:32,651 to learn that it was a man named Abraham Ortelius, 787 00:42:32,818 --> 00:42:35,286 a famous cartographer from the 1500s, 788 00:42:35,453 --> 00:42:37,656 who first proposed the idea 789 00:42:37,823 --> 00:42:41,159 that the flood of Noah may have been responsible 790 00:42:41,326 --> 00:42:45,196 for tearing apart the Americas from Europe and Africa. 791 00:42:45,363 --> 00:42:47,232 Hundreds of years later, 792 00:42:47,432 --> 00:42:51,202 another Christian by the name of Antonio Snider-Pellegrini 793 00:42:51,369 --> 00:42:52,838 would first theorize 794 00:42:53,004 --> 00:42:56,207 the modern concept of continental drift, 795 00:42:56,374 --> 00:42:58,744 in which he illustrated two maps 796 00:42:58,944 --> 00:43:00,912 depicting the continents of the world 797 00:43:01,112 --> 00:43:03,148 as once joined together. 798 00:43:04,049 --> 00:43:08,253 This was decades before German geologist Alfred Wegener 799 00:43:08,453 --> 00:43:10,922 would propose his own version of the theory, 800 00:43:11,122 --> 00:43:12,858 known today as Pangaea, 801 00:43:13,024 --> 00:43:17,228 and be erroneously dubbed the father of continental drift. 802 00:43:18,563 --> 00:43:22,233 Antonio was snubbed of this honorary title. 803 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:26,838 His crime was citing the book of Genesis, 804 00:43:27,005 --> 00:43:29,540 in which he said he made the discovery 805 00:43:29,708 --> 00:43:31,877 that at the beginning of creation, 806 00:43:32,043 --> 00:43:33,912 there is only one continent. 807 00:43:34,079 --> 00:43:36,381 You see, the book of Genesis 808 00:43:36,547 --> 00:43:39,685 laid out exactly what happened to the Earth 809 00:43:39,851 --> 00:43:41,753 in the past during the flood, 810 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:43,889 starting with what the Bible calls 811 00:43:44,055 --> 00:43:47,225 "the fountains of the great deep opening." 812 00:43:47,392 --> 00:43:50,061 It wouldn't be until the 1950s 813 00:43:50,228 --> 00:43:52,430 that technology initially developed 814 00:43:52,597 --> 00:43:54,700 to detect submarines underwater 815 00:43:54,866 --> 00:43:57,803 would stumble across these gigantic scars 816 00:43:58,003 --> 00:44:02,040 from the fountains of the great deep that had split open 817 00:44:02,207 --> 00:44:05,476 exactly as the Bible had described. 818 00:44:06,511 --> 00:44:09,647 How did a book thousands of years old 819 00:44:09,848 --> 00:44:14,152 know exactly what was at the bottom of the ocean floor? 820 00:44:14,886 --> 00:44:16,788 The Bible says that first 821 00:44:16,955 --> 00:44:20,425 these giant subterranean rifts broke open, 822 00:44:20,591 --> 00:44:22,227 piercing the Earth's crust, 823 00:44:22,393 --> 00:44:24,730 spewing magma that created steam jets 824 00:44:24,896 --> 00:44:26,564 that shot up into the sky. 825 00:44:27,432 --> 00:44:29,334 Then the book of Genesis says 826 00:44:29,534 --> 00:44:32,003 that the waters poured down as torrential rain 827 00:44:32,203 --> 00:44:35,440 through the windows of heaven that were opened up 828 00:44:35,606 --> 00:44:39,745 and that the rain lasted 40 days and 40 nights. 829 00:44:39,911 --> 00:44:43,314 The supercontinent that the book of Genesis described 830 00:44:43,481 --> 00:44:46,517 is now beginning to break apart. 831 00:44:46,718 --> 00:44:50,255 At first, the newly partitioned continents oscillate, 832 00:44:50,421 --> 00:44:52,123 slamming into each other 833 00:44:52,290 --> 00:44:55,093 before starting their ultimate journey of separation. 834 00:44:55,961 --> 00:44:59,831 This closes seaways and forms volcanoes and mountains 835 00:44:59,998 --> 00:45:02,133 in the Americas and Europe, 836 00:45:02,300 --> 00:45:06,271 such as the Appalachian and Caledonian ranges. 837 00:45:06,437 --> 00:45:09,841 The seafloor spreads, forming from molten magma, 838 00:45:10,008 --> 00:45:13,378 widening the separation between the new continents. 839 00:45:13,578 --> 00:45:15,213 Scientists will later discover 840 00:45:15,413 --> 00:45:18,116 that the seafloor at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge 841 00:45:18,283 --> 00:45:20,118 is much younger than the seafloor 842 00:45:20,285 --> 00:45:22,153 in other parts of the world, 843 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,689 exactly as the Bible suggests. 844 00:45:26,091 --> 00:45:29,460 As this newly emerging volcanic floor spreads, 845 00:45:29,627 --> 00:45:33,664 it subducts under the west coast of North America, 846 00:45:33,832 --> 00:45:35,300 binding and releasing, 847 00:45:35,466 --> 00:45:37,335 causing massive tsunamis 848 00:45:37,502 --> 00:45:40,171 carrying mud mixed with sea creatures, 849 00:45:40,338 --> 00:45:42,808 totally overwhelming the land. 850 00:45:42,974 --> 00:45:45,743 As what's known as the Conjugate Shatsky Rise 851 00:45:45,944 --> 00:45:47,913 pushes up during the subduction, 852 00:45:48,113 --> 00:45:50,581 the Rocky Mountains also began to form, 853 00:45:50,782 --> 00:45:53,418 along with the Independence Dike Swarm, 854 00:45:53,618 --> 00:45:57,889 a 400-mile long volcanic region that billows ash 855 00:45:58,056 --> 00:46:00,058 that covers half of America. 856 00:46:00,225 --> 00:46:03,161 As the Western Interior Seaway emerges during this time, 857 00:46:03,328 --> 00:46:05,763 the last of the dinosaurs are flooded, 858 00:46:05,964 --> 00:46:07,999 mixed together with sea life, 859 00:46:08,166 --> 00:46:11,269 and are buried in mud, sand, and ash 860 00:46:11,469 --> 00:46:13,071 in the middle of America. 861 00:46:14,405 --> 00:46:17,943 As we near the end of the flood, activity begins to cease 862 00:46:18,143 --> 00:46:21,279 as the seafloor stops spreading and begins to cool. 863 00:46:22,713 --> 00:46:25,851 As the new massive ocean floors cool and retract, 864 00:46:26,017 --> 00:46:29,720 the waters reverse back down into the new ocean basins 865 00:46:29,888 --> 00:46:32,357 and recede as much as a mile. 866 00:46:34,325 --> 00:46:37,963 All over the Earth, trillions of fossils are left behind 867 00:46:38,163 --> 00:46:40,031 as incredible evidence 868 00:46:40,198 --> 00:46:43,468 of the worldwide catastrophic flood. 869 00:46:48,006 --> 00:46:51,877 The most compelling evidence for a global flood 870 00:46:52,043 --> 00:46:54,913 is the sediment record itself. 871 00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,648 All over the Earth, what's under your feet? 872 00:46:57,849 --> 00:47:01,319 Hundreds of distinct horizontal layers 873 00:47:01,519 --> 00:47:05,991 generally with smooth interfaces between the layers. 874 00:47:06,191 --> 00:47:08,759 The only way that such a record 875 00:47:08,927 --> 00:47:11,229 could have come into existence 876 00:47:11,396 --> 00:47:15,566 is global-scale processes producing the whole record 877 00:47:15,733 --> 00:47:18,503 in a single global event. 878 00:47:18,703 --> 00:47:21,940 All over the world, the layers are flat, 879 00:47:22,807 --> 00:47:24,309 and there's no river channels in them. 880 00:47:24,475 --> 00:47:26,344 Think about what you see at the Grand Canyon. 881 00:47:26,544 --> 00:47:29,114 You see these flat pancakes, one on top of another, 882 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:30,982 just flat, flat, flat, flat. 883 00:47:31,149 --> 00:47:33,518 They're basically erosionless. 884 00:47:33,718 --> 00:47:35,020 Here's how they formed. 885 00:47:35,220 --> 00:47:36,821 At the beginning of the flood, 886 00:47:36,988 --> 00:47:38,523 there was movements of the crust. 887 00:47:38,723 --> 00:47:40,825 Crustal movements actually cause earthquakes. 888 00:47:40,992 --> 00:47:44,162 Earthquakes in water cause tsunamis. 889 00:47:44,329 --> 00:47:48,533 The tsunamis then originating from the ocean areas 890 00:47:48,733 --> 00:47:50,801 would then race across the continents. 891 00:47:50,969 --> 00:47:53,471 Once the tsunami lost its power, 892 00:47:53,638 --> 00:47:56,942 the sediment would settle down out of the water 893 00:47:57,108 --> 00:47:59,377 and form a flat layer at the bottom. 894 00:47:59,577 --> 00:48:00,811 That's the first layer. 895 00:48:00,979 --> 00:48:02,547 Then another earthquake 896 00:48:02,747 --> 00:48:05,450 in a different part of the world sets off a tsunami, 897 00:48:05,616 --> 00:48:07,352 maybe a week later, maybe a day later, 898 00:48:07,518 --> 00:48:09,220 brings in a different sediment. 899 00:48:09,420 --> 00:48:11,689 The tsunami runs out of power in this area. 900 00:48:11,856 --> 00:48:14,859 The sediments in the water settle to the bottom 901 00:48:15,026 --> 00:48:16,661 and form another flat layer. 902 00:48:16,827 --> 00:48:18,029 There's no erosion. 903 00:48:18,196 --> 00:48:19,664 Again, you have a third tsunami 904 00:48:19,830 --> 00:48:22,400 bringing in these sediments, third layer. 905 00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,335 My simulations indicate 906 00:48:24,502 --> 00:48:26,471 that these tsunamis were large enough 907 00:48:26,637 --> 00:48:28,173 for a single tsunami 908 00:48:28,339 --> 00:48:31,009 to sweep all the way across a continent. 909 00:48:31,176 --> 00:48:33,411 These layers were formed underwater. 910 00:48:33,611 --> 00:48:36,014 That's why they were so confusing to so many people. 911 00:48:36,181 --> 00:48:39,184 It's fascinating to see the evolution scientists 912 00:48:39,350 --> 00:48:40,751 explain their dig sites. 913 00:48:40,952 --> 00:48:43,321 For example, at Dinosaur Provincial Park, 914 00:48:43,488 --> 00:48:46,824 they have 10,000 dinosaurs buried 915 00:48:46,992 --> 00:48:48,326 in this flat layer. 916 00:48:48,493 --> 00:48:50,761 And you ask the site paleontologist, 917 00:48:50,962 --> 00:48:53,331 "Well, how did these 10,000 dinosaurs 918 00:48:53,498 --> 00:48:54,899 get in this flat layer?" 919 00:48:55,066 --> 00:48:57,568 "Well, they died in a river in flood." 920 00:48:57,735 --> 00:49:00,505 "Oh, what was the shape of the river bottom?" 921 00:49:00,671 --> 00:49:02,107 "It was a flat river bottom." 922 00:49:02,307 --> 00:49:04,542 So you're saying this river that was so strong 923 00:49:04,709 --> 00:49:07,545 that could bury 10,000 dinosaurs over five miles wide, 924 00:49:07,712 --> 00:49:09,280 which would be a raging river, 925 00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,717 wasn't strong enough to cause an erosion channel? 926 00:49:12,883 --> 00:49:15,786 Why isn't there a river cut from this river channel? 927 00:49:15,987 --> 00:49:17,622 Why isn't there erosion from that river? 928 00:49:17,822 --> 00:49:20,258 The answers make no sense 929 00:49:20,425 --> 00:49:24,395 in light of this flat problem, the erosionless problem. 930 00:49:24,562 --> 00:49:26,197 What we see at the Grand Canyon 931 00:49:26,364 --> 00:49:30,935 is that the layers got bent at the edge of the plateau. 932 00:49:31,102 --> 00:49:33,271 Because the folding was smooth 933 00:49:33,438 --> 00:49:35,573 when the sediments were still soft, 934 00:49:35,740 --> 00:49:39,377 the whole sequence had to be formed rapidly during the flood 935 00:49:40,245 --> 00:49:43,081 and then bent at the end of the flood while they were still wet, 936 00:49:43,248 --> 00:49:47,085 and so these folds are very strategic evidence 937 00:49:47,252 --> 00:49:49,087 tying together all the layers, 938 00:49:49,254 --> 00:49:51,289 and it emphatically demonstrates 939 00:49:51,456 --> 00:49:53,391 that the millions of years never happened. 940 00:49:53,558 --> 00:49:55,093 Or the fact that you have 941 00:49:55,260 --> 00:49:57,062 what are called polystrate fossils. 942 00:49:57,228 --> 00:49:59,897 They're usually trees that go through more than one layer. 943 00:50:00,065 --> 00:50:04,169 These trees have three layers that are supposedly 944 00:50:04,369 --> 00:50:06,937 30 million years worth of rock around them. 945 00:50:07,105 --> 00:50:08,673 You know that if you start accumulating 946 00:50:08,873 --> 00:50:10,341 sediment around the bottom, 947 00:50:10,541 --> 00:50:13,010 that sediment would eat away at the bark, 948 00:50:13,211 --> 00:50:15,580 the bark would rot, and the tree would die even sooner, 949 00:50:15,746 --> 00:50:18,583 would fall over even less than a hundred years. 950 00:50:18,749 --> 00:50:21,018 But here we have trees, 951 00:50:21,219 --> 00:50:24,255 vertical, fossilized, with three layers. 952 00:50:24,422 --> 00:50:27,158 In the worldwide flood, trees were swept up, 953 00:50:27,325 --> 00:50:29,460 and they were floating on the top. 954 00:50:29,627 --> 00:50:32,797 Now eventually, the trees became waterlogged 955 00:50:32,963 --> 00:50:34,199 and sank to the bottom. 956 00:50:34,399 --> 00:50:37,868 Now trees normally sink horizontal, 957 00:50:38,069 --> 00:50:41,306 but some trees, as discovered by Dr. Steve Austin, 958 00:50:41,472 --> 00:50:44,309 when they sink, they sink vertically. 959 00:50:44,475 --> 00:50:46,844 If a tsunami wave comes, 960 00:50:47,011 --> 00:50:49,280 and there was a lot of tsunami waves during the flood, 961 00:50:49,447 --> 00:50:50,948 and brings in sediment, 962 00:50:51,116 --> 00:50:54,785 when the tsunami wave loses power, 963 00:50:54,952 --> 00:50:57,388 the sediment in the wave settles 964 00:50:57,588 --> 00:50:59,657 into a flat layer at the bottom. 965 00:50:59,824 --> 00:51:01,559 Maybe a week later or a day later, 966 00:51:01,759 --> 00:51:04,329 another tsunami wave comes in from a different direction. 967 00:51:04,495 --> 00:51:06,631 When the tsunami wave loses its power, 968 00:51:06,797 --> 00:51:08,399 the sediment begins to fall, 969 00:51:08,599 --> 00:51:12,170 and now it forms a second layer on top of the first 970 00:51:12,337 --> 00:51:15,039 amongst this vertical tree that hadn't fossilized yet. 971 00:51:15,206 --> 00:51:18,008 Now if that tree could be buried 972 00:51:18,176 --> 00:51:21,512 with 30 feet of sediment in just, say, a week, 973 00:51:21,679 --> 00:51:23,348 you could easily accumulate 974 00:51:23,514 --> 00:51:27,518 the entire Grand Canyon stacked layers in a year's time. 975 00:51:27,685 --> 00:51:32,157 It is the explanation that defeats the evolution time, 976 00:51:32,323 --> 00:51:34,392 and it actually defeats the theory of evolution. 977 00:51:34,559 --> 00:51:37,995 This is the single most important geological fact, 978 00:51:38,163 --> 00:51:41,166 and nobody seems to teach this in college 979 00:51:41,332 --> 00:51:42,767 or in the evolution world. 980 00:51:43,668 --> 00:51:45,203 [narrator] Evolutionists claim 981 00:51:45,370 --> 00:51:48,105 that the Earth is millions of years old, 982 00:51:48,306 --> 00:51:50,241 and one of their so-called proofs 983 00:51:50,408 --> 00:51:54,779 are stratified rock layers found within the geologic column. 984 00:51:54,979 --> 00:51:57,415 Evolutionists teach that each layer 985 00:51:57,582 --> 00:52:00,685 represents millions of years of rock formation 986 00:52:00,851 --> 00:52:03,521 based upon their uniformitarian view 987 00:52:03,688 --> 00:52:05,956 that says you can make assumptions about the past 988 00:52:06,157 --> 00:52:08,125 based upon processes today. 989 00:52:08,326 --> 00:52:10,295 But in doing so, you're assuming 990 00:52:10,495 --> 00:52:14,098 that there were no catastrophic events, like a global flood. 991 00:52:14,265 --> 00:52:16,467 Evolutionists also ignore 992 00:52:16,667 --> 00:52:19,804 the flood evidence contained within these rock layers, 993 00:52:20,004 --> 00:52:24,141 like sea creatures mixed together with land creatures. 994 00:52:24,342 --> 00:52:26,311 Just ask any coal miner. 995 00:52:26,511 --> 00:52:27,978 Anywhere on Earth they dig, 996 00:52:28,179 --> 00:52:30,415 they find countless sea creatures 997 00:52:30,581 --> 00:52:32,983 embedded into the rock. 998 00:52:33,184 --> 00:52:36,153 You see, the Bible refutes evolution theory, 999 00:52:36,354 --> 00:52:39,724 stating that it has only been roughly 6,000 years 1000 00:52:39,890 --> 00:52:41,492 since the beginning of creation, 1001 00:52:41,692 --> 00:52:43,093 giving the true account 1002 00:52:43,261 --> 00:52:45,830 of how the sedimentary layers formed, 1003 00:52:46,030 --> 00:52:51,001 as sedimentary rock is rock that is formed in water, 1004 00:52:51,202 --> 00:52:55,240 which is also incredible testimony of a worldwide flood. 1005 00:52:55,406 --> 00:52:57,308 Given that the Earth's surface 1006 00:52:57,475 --> 00:53:01,746 is made up mostly of water-formed sedimentary rock layers, 1007 00:53:01,912 --> 00:53:05,450 the fact that the layers were actually formed in water 1008 00:53:05,616 --> 00:53:09,787 also explains why there is no erosion found in between the layers, 1009 00:53:09,954 --> 00:53:14,492 as there would be if the layers took millions of years to form. 1010 00:53:14,659 --> 00:53:18,128 Then there's the issue of bended and folded rock, 1011 00:53:18,296 --> 00:53:21,532 which could only occur if the layers were pliable 1012 00:53:21,732 --> 00:53:23,868 and soft at the time of the bending, 1013 00:53:24,068 --> 00:53:27,972 which is exactly what a global flood would cause. 1014 00:53:28,138 --> 00:53:32,377 The bent layers also prove that their formation was rapid 1015 00:53:32,577 --> 00:53:36,113 with multiple layers forming rapidly on top of each other 1016 00:53:36,281 --> 00:53:37,715 because the bottom layers 1017 00:53:37,915 --> 00:53:40,618 would still have to be saturated with water 1018 00:53:40,785 --> 00:53:43,354 and didn't have enough time to dry out. 1019 00:53:43,521 --> 00:53:45,556 As forces acted upon the layers, 1020 00:53:45,756 --> 00:53:49,660 they bent in unison from top to bottom. 1021 00:53:49,827 --> 00:53:53,631 Claiming these layers folded together over millions of years 1022 00:53:53,798 --> 00:53:55,232 while still forming 1023 00:53:55,433 --> 00:53:59,203 cannot explain what geologists are observing. 1024 00:53:59,370 --> 00:54:03,908 Only underwater rapid burial could explain these phenomena, 1025 00:54:04,108 --> 00:54:06,744 remembering that sedimentary rock layers, 1026 00:54:06,944 --> 00:54:08,245 of which these are, 1027 00:54:08,446 --> 00:54:11,382 are formed in water in the first place. 1028 00:54:13,518 --> 00:54:15,886 To further prove that these rock layers 1029 00:54:16,053 --> 00:54:18,222 were formed quickly and in the flood 1030 00:54:18,389 --> 00:54:21,759 is the fact that in countless places around the world, 1031 00:54:21,959 --> 00:54:24,329 we find polystrate trees, 1032 00:54:24,495 --> 00:54:25,996 "poly" meaning many 1033 00:54:26,163 --> 00:54:28,265 and "strate" referring to the multiple layers 1034 00:54:28,466 --> 00:54:30,234 that these trees are running through. 1035 00:54:30,401 --> 00:54:31,769 If you understand anything 1036 00:54:31,969 --> 00:54:34,171 about how organic matter decomposes, 1037 00:54:34,339 --> 00:54:36,407 you'll know that it's impossible 1038 00:54:36,574 --> 00:54:39,544 for trees to remain intact for millions of years 1039 00:54:39,710 --> 00:54:43,514 while layers of dirt and debris slowly piled around them 1040 00:54:43,681 --> 00:54:46,584 and rain and moisture rot the wood out. 1041 00:54:47,918 --> 00:54:50,355 Instead, what the evidence shows 1042 00:54:50,521 --> 00:54:54,525 is that trees were swept up in the flood and carried off, 1043 00:54:54,692 --> 00:54:58,228 and as they became more waterlogged, they sank. 1044 00:54:58,396 --> 00:55:00,130 Some trees would sink uniformly 1045 00:55:00,331 --> 00:55:04,034 while other trees contained more water saturation 1046 00:55:04,201 --> 00:55:07,104 in what was left of their bottom roots. 1047 00:55:07,271 --> 00:55:09,374 These trees would be bottom-heavy 1048 00:55:09,540 --> 00:55:12,743 and float down to the floor but rest upright. 1049 00:55:12,910 --> 00:55:15,613 Tsunami waves would carry in sediments 1050 00:55:15,780 --> 00:55:19,283 that would bury the trees quickly in multiple layers. 1051 00:55:19,450 --> 00:55:21,285 In fact, geologists discovered 1052 00:55:21,452 --> 00:55:24,589 that the same sand from the eastern side of America 1053 00:55:24,755 --> 00:55:26,991 had been carried in tsunami waves 1054 00:55:27,191 --> 00:55:29,494 all the way to the west side of the continent. 1055 00:55:29,694 --> 00:55:31,396 This explains how the rock layers 1056 00:55:31,562 --> 00:55:34,799 contain fossils of sea creatures mixed in with land plants, 1057 00:55:34,965 --> 00:55:36,601 and it also explains 1058 00:55:36,767 --> 00:55:39,336 why the trees are missing their root systems, 1059 00:55:39,537 --> 00:55:42,172 and most importantly, why the trees are found 1060 00:55:42,373 --> 00:55:44,775 running straight through multiple rock layers 1061 00:55:44,942 --> 00:55:48,679 that evolutionists are claiming are millions of years old. 1062 00:55:48,879 --> 00:55:51,616 Let's also not forget that some of these layers 1063 00:55:51,782 --> 00:55:53,451 are the size of continents, 1064 00:55:53,618 --> 00:55:57,154 indicating that these trees and rocks were laid down 1065 00:55:57,321 --> 00:55:59,957 in a single and catastrophic event 1066 00:56:00,124 --> 00:56:03,160 and not local floods at different times. 1067 00:56:03,327 --> 00:56:05,430 Today, we assume that fossils 1068 00:56:05,596 --> 00:56:07,765 are a normal part of the cycle of life 1069 00:56:07,932 --> 00:56:10,267 since we see so many of them all over the world. 1070 00:56:10,435 --> 00:56:13,337 Yet fossilization is not what we observe at all 1071 00:56:13,504 --> 00:56:15,139 when something dies today. 1072 00:56:15,305 --> 00:56:18,609 Thankfully, dead matter does not fossilize today 1073 00:56:18,776 --> 00:56:20,210 under normal conditions, 1074 00:56:20,411 --> 00:56:22,647 but instead, God made dead matter 1075 00:56:22,813 --> 00:56:25,149 to break down and return to the Earth. 1076 00:56:25,315 --> 00:56:28,453 The fact that we see so many fossils indicates 1077 00:56:28,619 --> 00:56:30,521 that there was a worldwide event 1078 00:56:30,688 --> 00:56:35,025 that caused mass fossilization of all life on Earth 1079 00:56:35,192 --> 00:56:36,627 at one point in time. 1080 00:56:36,794 --> 00:56:38,195 Think about it. 1081 00:56:38,362 --> 00:56:42,199 If the Earth today is covered 71% in water, 1082 00:56:42,366 --> 00:56:44,569 water-formed sedimentary rock layers 1083 00:56:44,769 --> 00:56:47,037 made up most of the rock on Earth. 1084 00:56:47,204 --> 00:56:48,973 Inside those rock layers 1085 00:56:49,139 --> 00:56:51,676 are sea creatures mixed in with land creatures. 1086 00:56:51,842 --> 00:56:55,079 Some of these sedimentary layers span entire continents, 1087 00:56:55,279 --> 00:56:59,149 meaning they were formed all together in one event. 1088 00:56:59,316 --> 00:57:01,986 Multiple layers are bent and folded together, 1089 00:57:02,152 --> 00:57:05,490 proving rapid burial events created them. 1090 00:57:05,656 --> 00:57:09,159 We find trees spanning through multiple layers of rock, 1091 00:57:09,326 --> 00:57:10,595 and all over the globe, 1092 00:57:10,795 --> 00:57:13,330 we find massive areas of erosion, 1093 00:57:13,498 --> 00:57:15,866 such as great canyons carved out. 1094 00:57:16,033 --> 00:57:20,237 It is obvious that God left all of this evidence behind 1095 00:57:20,404 --> 00:57:24,108 as a testimony to the biblical flood. 1096 00:57:27,678 --> 00:57:30,047 The second most powerful evidence 1097 00:57:30,214 --> 00:57:34,351 are the fossils that are in these sedimentary layers. 1098 00:57:34,519 --> 00:57:38,388 To produce a fossil requires, in most cases, 1099 00:57:38,556 --> 00:57:41,291 especially for the larger kinds of organisms, 1100 00:57:41,492 --> 00:57:46,196 requires complete burial and rapid burial, 1101 00:57:46,363 --> 00:57:50,367 and that automatically speaks of catastrophic conditions. 1102 00:57:50,535 --> 00:57:54,572 So the fact that we find so many fossils so well-preserved, 1103 00:57:54,739 --> 00:57:56,641 many of them with evidence 1104 00:57:56,841 --> 00:57:58,776 that the animals were buried alive, 1105 00:57:58,943 --> 00:58:03,548 is another powerful evidence for a flood cataclysm. 1106 00:58:03,714 --> 00:58:05,750 There's a lot of fossils in museums. 1107 00:58:05,916 --> 00:58:07,251 In fact, the museums are full. 1108 00:58:07,417 --> 00:58:09,419 They don't want any more fossils. 1109 00:58:09,587 --> 00:58:10,721 The basements are full. 1110 00:58:11,255 --> 00:58:14,925 Museums have collected one billion fossils, 1111 00:58:15,092 --> 00:58:17,895 and scientists suggest that in the rocks, 1112 00:58:18,062 --> 00:58:19,229 and you could find these, 1113 00:58:19,396 --> 00:58:21,932 there are trillions of fossils. 1114 00:58:22,099 --> 00:58:24,769 If you see an animal die along the side of the road, 1115 00:58:24,935 --> 00:58:26,503 like a possum or a deer, 1116 00:58:26,704 --> 00:58:29,840 pretty soon that deer or that possum is gone. 1117 00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:33,277 The bones disintegrate, scavengers come, 1118 00:58:33,443 --> 00:58:36,313 the mice eat the bones, the pelt falls apart. 1119 00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,283 10 years later, it's just dust, there's nothing. 1120 00:58:39,449 --> 00:58:41,485 And yet there's these trillion fossils. 1121 00:58:41,652 --> 00:58:43,588 Here's why we have a trillion fossils. 1122 00:58:43,754 --> 00:58:45,255 There was this enormous flood. 1123 00:58:45,422 --> 00:58:47,091 It was a worldwide flood. 1124 00:58:47,257 --> 00:58:49,860 Tsunamis were racing across, bringing in sediment, 1125 00:58:50,060 --> 00:58:52,763 and quickly burying these animals. 1126 00:58:52,930 --> 00:58:55,032 As the flood receded, 1127 00:58:55,232 --> 00:58:58,936 all this ocean water percolated back through the sand 1128 00:58:59,103 --> 00:59:01,138 that was covering the animals 1129 00:59:01,305 --> 00:59:05,342 and provided the minerals to change the bones into fossils. 1130 00:59:05,509 --> 00:59:07,712 And that's how you get trillions of fossils. 1131 00:59:07,912 --> 00:59:09,379 You have to have a worldwide flood. 1132 00:59:09,580 --> 00:59:11,616 The one thing we frequently observe 1133 00:59:11,782 --> 00:59:14,218 is that the fossils have been exquisitely preserved. 1134 00:59:14,418 --> 00:59:16,020 What do I mean by that? 1135 00:59:16,186 --> 00:59:18,989 Well, we find all the details preserved in place. 1136 00:59:19,156 --> 00:59:23,193 For example, fish about to swallow another fish, 1137 00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,129 and it's been buried. 1138 00:59:25,295 --> 00:59:27,798 That tells you it had to be very rapid 1139 00:59:27,965 --> 00:59:29,734 to preserve those details. 1140 00:59:29,934 --> 00:59:32,670 In another example, we've got ichthyosaurs, 1141 00:59:32,837 --> 00:59:34,304 which are marine reptiles, 1142 00:59:34,471 --> 00:59:36,373 some of these up to six feet long, 1143 00:59:36,540 --> 00:59:38,075 and they've been buried 1144 00:59:38,275 --> 00:59:41,011 in the process of giving birth to a baby. 1145 00:59:41,178 --> 00:59:43,914 Another case of, you know, 10-12-foot-long fish 1146 00:59:44,114 --> 00:59:46,150 with an undigested fish in its stomach. 1147 00:59:46,316 --> 00:59:50,988 The details of wings of wasps. 1148 00:59:51,155 --> 00:59:52,823 The wings are open, 1149 00:59:52,990 --> 00:59:55,359 and the legs are in the flight position. 1150 00:59:55,525 --> 00:59:58,562 What can we think about? They were flying. 1151 00:59:58,729 --> 01:00:01,231 And those insects were trying to escape. 1152 01:00:01,398 --> 01:00:03,333 They're trying to go somewhere, 1153 01:00:03,500 --> 01:00:06,570 but they just got trapped with all the sediments 1154 01:00:06,737 --> 01:00:08,105 of the waters of the flood, 1155 01:00:08,305 --> 01:00:10,775 and that's why we can study them. 1156 01:00:10,975 --> 01:00:13,410 All these details require 1157 01:00:13,577 --> 01:00:15,780 extremely rapid burial. 1158 01:00:15,980 --> 01:00:19,083 It fits exactly with what the Bible says. It's consistent. 1159 01:00:19,249 --> 01:00:22,720 The destruction of the flood was rapid, sudden, 1160 01:00:22,887 --> 01:00:24,922 catastrophic on a global scale, 1161 01:00:25,089 --> 01:00:29,559 preserving these creatures sometimes in life positions, 1162 01:00:29,727 --> 01:00:32,596 caught in the action of doing something 1163 01:00:32,763 --> 01:00:35,199 and the details exquisitely preserved. 1164 01:00:35,365 --> 01:00:37,902 That's consistent with the biblical record of the flood. 1165 01:00:39,770 --> 01:00:41,706 It may surprise you to learn 1166 01:00:41,872 --> 01:00:44,809 that all of the rock layers of the world, 1167 01:00:45,009 --> 01:00:48,545 the named rock layers like the Cambrian, the Jurassic, 1168 01:00:48,713 --> 01:00:51,949 all of the layers of the world have saltwater creatures. 1169 01:00:52,116 --> 01:00:55,619 Huh, well, what greater proof would you need 1170 01:00:55,786 --> 01:00:57,922 that this was from a worldwide flood 1171 01:00:58,088 --> 01:01:00,624 that there's saltwater creatures in all the layers? 1172 01:01:00,791 --> 01:01:03,460 Now this is in the middle of the continents. 1173 01:01:03,627 --> 01:01:05,462 How did these saltwater creatures get here? 1174 01:01:05,629 --> 01:01:07,231 It would have to be a flood. 1175 01:01:07,397 --> 01:01:10,935 Now the evolution scientists have to explain 1176 01:01:11,101 --> 01:01:14,471 where these saltwater creatures came from, how they got there. 1177 01:01:14,638 --> 01:01:17,007 You're saying, Mr. Evolution Scientist, 1178 01:01:17,207 --> 01:01:19,243 that there's saltwater creatures in all these layers, 1179 01:01:19,409 --> 01:01:21,178 and you're saying the oceans rose, 1180 01:01:21,378 --> 01:01:24,581 covered the middle of the United States, and went back down, 1181 01:01:24,749 --> 01:01:26,951 went back up, went back down multiple times, 1182 01:01:27,117 --> 01:01:28,618 at least a dozen times. 1183 01:01:28,786 --> 01:01:30,320 Occam's Razor would say 1184 01:01:30,487 --> 01:01:32,422 it's more simple to believe in one flood 1185 01:01:32,589 --> 01:01:35,692 than more than a dozen worldwide floods. 1186 01:01:35,893 --> 01:01:37,995 It was in the 1980s 1187 01:01:38,162 --> 01:01:41,698 that the secular geologists began to move to catastrophism 1188 01:01:41,899 --> 01:01:44,802 and move away from uniformitarianism 1189 01:01:44,969 --> 01:01:46,837 as soon as it suited their needs. 1190 01:01:47,004 --> 01:01:49,974 They went to catastrophism when it served their purposes 1191 01:01:50,140 --> 01:01:52,810 to help explain the extinction of the dinosaurs. 1192 01:01:52,977 --> 01:01:55,512 Noah's flood provides a better explanation 1193 01:01:55,679 --> 01:01:59,950 for the demise of the dinosaurs than the impact in Yucatan. 1194 01:02:00,117 --> 01:02:04,621 Simply because that event is so small, so localized, 1195 01:02:04,789 --> 01:02:07,191 there's no way it could have a physical effect 1196 01:02:07,357 --> 01:02:09,960 that would cause the dinosaurs to be buried 1197 01:02:10,127 --> 01:02:11,695 the way we find them. 1198 01:02:11,862 --> 01:02:14,899 And nobody in the secular world even claims that. 1199 01:02:15,099 --> 01:02:17,968 They say, "Well, it produced climate change 1200 01:02:18,135 --> 01:02:20,838 that caused the dinosaurs to starve to death." 1201 01:02:21,005 --> 01:02:23,908 If you go on Wikipedia today 1202 01:02:24,108 --> 01:02:28,045 and look up dinosaur extinction or Chicxulub crater, 1203 01:02:28,212 --> 01:02:31,048 an asteroid sunk and hit the Earth, 1204 01:02:31,215 --> 01:02:35,219 caused a global cooling because of all the dust in the air, 1205 01:02:35,385 --> 01:02:37,387 and the dinosaurs died out at that time. 1206 01:02:37,554 --> 01:02:39,489 We have simulations 1207 01:02:39,656 --> 01:02:41,992 where we've thrown the Chicxulub-size meter 1208 01:02:42,159 --> 01:02:44,761 right on the Earth using high-performance computing, 1209 01:02:44,962 --> 01:02:46,396 and then we get the subduction event, 1210 01:02:46,563 --> 01:02:48,332 and we get the breakup of the lithosphere, 1211 01:02:48,498 --> 01:02:51,101 and we start the earthquakes, we start the volcanoes. 1212 01:02:51,301 --> 01:02:55,672 Actually meteoric impacts could have initiated that event. 1213 01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:58,342 But it has no power to explain the burial 1214 01:02:58,508 --> 01:03:00,677 of these huge animals in the sediment record. 1215 01:03:00,845 --> 01:03:01,879 [introspective music] 1216 01:03:02,046 --> 01:03:03,380 [narrator] In the 1980s, 1217 01:03:03,547 --> 01:03:05,749 secular scientists began to theorize 1218 01:03:05,916 --> 01:03:08,718 that it was an asteroid that crashed into the Earth 1219 01:03:08,886 --> 01:03:11,889 and wiped out nearly all of life on its surface. 1220 01:03:12,056 --> 01:03:15,059 The theory posits that massive tsunamis 1221 01:03:15,225 --> 01:03:17,261 and volcanic dust-filled air 1222 01:03:17,427 --> 01:03:19,029 as a result of the impact 1223 01:03:19,196 --> 01:03:22,299 are what destroyed the dinosaurs and most other life 1224 01:03:22,499 --> 01:03:24,468 in a worldwide disaster. 1225 01:03:24,668 --> 01:03:27,204 Secular scientists could not escape the fact 1226 01:03:27,371 --> 01:03:30,941 that water and volcanism played a massive role 1227 01:03:31,108 --> 01:03:34,411 in how life was once wiped out on Earth. 1228 01:03:34,578 --> 01:03:36,813 But the Bible had already written 1229 01:03:37,014 --> 01:03:39,816 that the Earth had been catastrophically destroyed 1230 01:03:40,017 --> 01:03:41,718 through volcanism and water. 1231 01:03:41,886 --> 01:03:43,988 And they didn't want to validate the Bible, 1232 01:03:44,188 --> 01:03:45,755 so they came up 1233 01:03:45,923 --> 01:03:48,658 with their own catastrophic version of events, 1234 01:03:48,859 --> 01:03:51,896 i.e., the asteroid impact theory. 1235 01:03:52,062 --> 01:03:56,166 You see, the Bible's book of Genesis had already made clear 1236 01:03:56,366 --> 01:03:58,802 what happened in the past in detail, 1237 01:03:58,969 --> 01:04:00,971 describing volcanic activity 1238 01:04:01,138 --> 01:04:03,407 bursting open from the ocean floors, 1239 01:04:03,573 --> 01:04:08,178 chronicling when the volcanic activity began and ceased, 1240 01:04:08,378 --> 01:04:10,180 how long the rain poured, 1241 01:04:10,380 --> 01:04:11,949 how high the waters reached, 1242 01:04:12,116 --> 01:04:14,151 as well as giving the very reason 1243 01:04:14,318 --> 01:04:16,853 why God judged and destroyed the world 1244 01:04:17,054 --> 01:04:19,056 with the flood in the first place. 1245 01:04:20,157 --> 01:04:23,293 You are essentially given two choices today. 1246 01:04:23,460 --> 01:04:25,095 On the one hand, 1247 01:04:25,262 --> 01:04:27,797 you have a book written thousands of years ago 1248 01:04:27,965 --> 01:04:31,768 giving an amazingly detailed account of a worldwide flood 1249 01:04:31,936 --> 01:04:35,372 that wiped out virtually all life on Earth. 1250 01:04:36,273 --> 01:04:39,376 On the other hand, you have manmade theories. 1251 01:04:39,576 --> 01:04:42,679 In this case, one that was only first postulated 1252 01:04:42,846 --> 01:04:44,714 about 40 years ago 1253 01:04:44,915 --> 01:04:49,119 due to the inadequacy of their prior non-catastrophic models 1254 01:04:49,286 --> 01:04:51,521 that they know really didn't work. 1255 01:04:51,688 --> 01:04:54,358 Both views require a catastrophic event 1256 01:04:54,524 --> 01:04:56,460 with global implications, 1257 01:04:56,626 --> 01:05:00,464 but only one has the power to actually explain 1258 01:05:00,630 --> 01:05:03,633 the stratification of the Earth's surface 1259 01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:06,370 and the trillions of fossils, 1260 01:05:06,536 --> 01:05:10,240 along with cultures around the world citing a global flood 1261 01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:12,909 in their historical writings and legends, 1262 01:05:13,110 --> 01:05:16,981 while the other merely rearranges elements 1263 01:05:17,147 --> 01:05:20,084 from the true account to concoct its own story. 1264 01:05:20,284 --> 01:05:21,685 Think about it. 1265 01:05:21,851 --> 01:05:24,221 The Bible already said long ago 1266 01:05:24,388 --> 01:05:26,190 that the entire world's surface 1267 01:05:26,356 --> 01:05:28,325 was destroyed catastrophically. 1268 01:05:28,492 --> 01:05:32,262 They have no choice but to make that same claim. 1269 01:05:32,462 --> 01:05:34,264 The Bible said that the continents 1270 01:05:34,464 --> 01:05:35,932 were once together in the beginning. 1271 01:05:36,133 --> 01:05:38,668 It looks like they have to share that too. 1272 01:05:38,835 --> 01:05:41,171 Nearly all animal life on Earth 1273 01:05:41,338 --> 01:05:43,607 was wiped out during the destruction, 1274 01:05:43,807 --> 01:05:46,776 a fact that they also couldn't ignore. 1275 01:05:46,977 --> 01:05:50,280 Marine life was scattered across the world. 1276 01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:53,850 The Bible says the waters went above the highest mountains. 1277 01:05:54,018 --> 01:05:56,853 Secular scientists formulated their own theories 1278 01:05:57,021 --> 01:05:59,889 as to how to explain the marine fossils away. 1279 01:06:01,091 --> 01:06:05,129 The Earth's original environment was permanently destroyed. 1280 01:06:05,329 --> 01:06:08,298 The pre-flood paradise was gone. 1281 01:06:08,498 --> 01:06:10,900 In the secular model, they refer to this 1282 01:06:11,068 --> 01:06:14,138 as the prehistoric world going extinct. 1283 01:06:14,338 --> 01:06:16,040 And let's not forget 1284 01:06:16,206 --> 01:06:19,576 that the flood set the processes into motion 1285 01:06:19,743 --> 01:06:22,279 for much of the world to be frozen over. 1286 01:06:22,446 --> 01:06:26,750 Hot oceans produce evaporations and greater snowfall. 1287 01:06:26,916 --> 01:06:30,920 Volcanoes send volumes of aerosols into the atmosphere, 1288 01:06:31,088 --> 01:06:32,456 blocking the sun. 1289 01:06:32,622 --> 01:06:35,225 Greater snowfall with cooler summers 1290 01:06:35,392 --> 01:06:38,128 results in global ice sheets. 1291 01:06:38,295 --> 01:06:41,765 Evolutionists have called these results of the flood 1292 01:06:41,931 --> 01:06:43,400 the Ice Age. 1293 01:06:43,967 --> 01:06:46,836 One of these is constantly being proven true 1294 01:06:47,037 --> 01:06:50,607 as more and more evidence is discovered over time, 1295 01:06:50,774 --> 01:06:52,842 while the other was only invented 1296 01:06:53,043 --> 01:06:55,379 after the evidence was unearthed. 1297 01:06:56,580 --> 01:06:59,449 And further still, contained within the Bible, 1298 01:06:59,616 --> 01:07:03,420 is also the prediction that all of this would happen. 1299 01:07:04,421 --> 01:07:05,789 In the second book of Peter, 1300 01:07:05,955 --> 01:07:07,657 we are told that in the last days, 1301 01:07:07,824 --> 01:07:09,793 which is the time fast approaching, 1302 01:07:09,959 --> 01:07:13,997 unbelievers would be willingly ignorant of the flood, 1303 01:07:14,164 --> 01:07:16,466 meaning that secular men and women 1304 01:07:16,633 --> 01:07:19,936 would consciously choose to believe and create lies 1305 01:07:20,104 --> 01:07:22,972 that allow them to push the catastrophic event 1306 01:07:23,140 --> 01:07:24,441 into the distant past, 1307 01:07:24,608 --> 01:07:26,843 so long ago and so far away, 1308 01:07:27,010 --> 01:07:29,479 it ceases to be scientific history 1309 01:07:29,646 --> 01:07:32,382 and becomes scientific fantasy. 1310 01:07:32,582 --> 01:07:35,018 The irony can only be described as biblical. 1311 01:07:35,185 --> 01:07:38,188 The Bible makes it clear that the end times would be characterized 1312 01:07:38,355 --> 01:07:41,658 by increasing unbelief of the biblical account of history 1313 01:07:41,825 --> 01:07:44,461 and the flood event itself. 1314 01:07:44,628 --> 01:07:48,698 Sadly, the religion of evolution is one in which its priests 1315 01:07:48,865 --> 01:07:51,801 are constantly updating their outdated theories, 1316 01:07:51,968 --> 01:07:53,703 while in the Bible, 1317 01:07:53,870 --> 01:07:57,641 we are given the final, true, and unchanging account. 1318 01:07:58,475 --> 01:08:01,178 And as the evidence is unearthed over time, 1319 01:08:02,179 --> 01:08:06,250 the biblical account is always proven to be true. 1320 01:08:12,356 --> 01:08:13,657 [pensive music] 1321 01:08:13,823 --> 01:08:15,159 If you go to a museum today 1322 01:08:15,325 --> 01:08:17,060 and look at the dinosaur displays, 1323 01:08:17,227 --> 01:08:19,396 you'll notice that the animals 1324 01:08:19,563 --> 01:08:22,399 look strange and unusual with the dinosaurs. 1325 01:08:22,566 --> 01:08:26,102 Have you ever seen a boa constrictor at a museum display 1326 01:08:26,303 --> 01:08:28,272 wrapped around a T-Rex's leg? 1327 01:08:28,472 --> 01:08:32,209 No, but they have found boa constrictors with dinosaurs. 1328 01:08:32,376 --> 01:08:34,278 Have you ever seen a box turtle 1329 01:08:34,478 --> 01:08:36,680 at the feet of a stegosaurus? 1330 01:08:36,846 --> 01:08:39,849 No, but they found box turtles with dinosaurs. 1331 01:08:40,016 --> 01:08:44,388 Have you ever seen a T-Rex with a duck flying over him? 1332 01:08:44,554 --> 01:08:48,057 No, but ducks have been found with dinosaurs. 1333 01:08:48,225 --> 01:08:51,528 All seven groups of animals today 1334 01:08:51,695 --> 01:08:54,097 have been found with the dinosaurs, 1335 01:08:54,264 --> 01:08:56,032 and they look the same. 1336 01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:57,901 Museum displays don't show that. 1337 01:08:58,067 --> 01:09:01,538 So if they actually put the animals they found 1338 01:09:01,705 --> 01:09:03,207 with the dinosaurs, 1339 01:09:03,373 --> 01:09:05,108 people would look at those displays and say, 1340 01:09:05,275 --> 01:09:06,643 "Well, evolution hasn't occurred. 1341 01:09:06,843 --> 01:09:09,213 It's just the dinosaurs went extinct." 1342 01:09:09,379 --> 01:09:12,982 But scientists have withheld the modern animals 1343 01:09:13,183 --> 01:09:14,584 from their dinosaur displays 1344 01:09:14,751 --> 01:09:17,153 to promote the idea that evolution occurred. 1345 01:09:17,354 --> 01:09:20,257 You know, the soft tissue analysis 1346 01:09:20,424 --> 01:09:22,759 in dinosaurs that's been recent 1347 01:09:22,926 --> 01:09:26,996 has been a little bit of an enigma to those who believe 1348 01:09:27,197 --> 01:09:29,299 that the Earth and universe is really old. 1349 01:09:29,466 --> 01:09:33,470 Mary Schweitzer in the 1990s and the early 2000s 1350 01:09:33,637 --> 01:09:38,308 first found this, like, elastic material in arteries. 1351 01:09:38,475 --> 01:09:43,347 Elastic material means, you pull it and it reloads back to its original place. 1352 01:09:43,547 --> 01:09:48,017 Dinosaur soft tissue is a very recent finding. 1353 01:09:48,218 --> 01:09:50,820 They don't want it really getting out. 1354 01:09:50,987 --> 01:09:53,457 It's not in any of the textbooks. 1355 01:09:53,623 --> 01:09:56,693 This lady cracked open or cut open 1356 01:09:56,893 --> 01:09:59,329 one of the bones, 1357 01:09:59,496 --> 01:10:02,266 and you could smell the putrefaction. 1358 01:10:02,899 --> 01:10:06,970 Dinosaur bones shouldn't smell like they're dying 1359 01:10:07,136 --> 01:10:09,205 'cause they've been dead for millions of years, right? 1360 01:10:09,406 --> 01:10:12,008 Well, little bit later, Mark Armitage started looking 1361 01:10:12,175 --> 01:10:14,611 at the horn of the triceratops, 1362 01:10:14,778 --> 01:10:17,146 but he found bone materials, tissue and bone, 1363 01:10:17,314 --> 01:10:20,850 the osteocytes that actually you pull it and it had strains. 1364 01:10:21,017 --> 01:10:23,019 Strains are how much you deform something. 1365 01:10:23,186 --> 01:10:25,889 It had up to almost 100% strain. 1366 01:10:26,089 --> 01:10:28,958 Muscle tissue in the Santanaraptor fossil, 1367 01:10:29,125 --> 01:10:31,194 and it was like dinosaur beef jerky 1368 01:10:31,361 --> 01:10:33,730 on the leg bone of a dinosaur. 1369 01:10:33,930 --> 01:10:35,699 It was the actual muscle. 1370 01:10:35,865 --> 01:10:37,701 And this Thescelosaurus bone is the same thing. 1371 01:10:37,867 --> 01:10:39,636 We started looking inside of this bone, 1372 01:10:39,803 --> 01:10:42,806 and we found, using scanning electron microscopy, 1373 01:10:42,972 --> 01:10:45,475 that it had elastic material, it had tissue. 1374 01:10:45,642 --> 01:10:47,877 You pull it apart, and it goes back. 1375 01:10:48,044 --> 01:10:49,746 If this was mineralized 1376 01:10:49,946 --> 01:10:51,348 or it was a fossil that became a rock, 1377 01:10:51,515 --> 01:10:53,149 you couldn't do this. 1378 01:10:53,317 --> 01:10:55,919 So it was never mineralized, never petrified. 1379 01:10:56,119 --> 01:10:59,155 It was still elastic, meaning it was still the tissue. 1380 01:10:59,323 --> 01:11:03,860 That means this thing is not a hundred million years old. 1381 01:11:04,027 --> 01:11:08,164 The biblical account expects to find some of that stuff. 1382 01:11:08,332 --> 01:11:10,600 So like what was it? Bone marrow. 1383 01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:12,769 -Red blood cells. -Cartilage. 1384 01:11:12,969 --> 01:11:14,671 -Collagen. -The hemoglobin. 1385 01:11:14,838 --> 01:11:16,673 And muscle fiber proteins. 1386 01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:18,942 These things shouldn't be able to last 1387 01:11:19,142 --> 01:11:21,010 but a hundred thousand years tops, 1388 01:11:21,177 --> 01:11:24,113 but these things were a hundred million years old. 1389 01:11:24,314 --> 01:11:26,950 Okay, 68 million years old, but closer to a hundred million. 1390 01:11:27,150 --> 01:11:29,586 The amino acids in the protein strands 1391 01:11:29,753 --> 01:11:32,856 would unbuckle and fall apart into protein powder, 1392 01:11:33,022 --> 01:11:34,724 and there is no explanation to this day, 1393 01:11:34,891 --> 01:11:37,694 nothing that makes any decent scientific sense, 1394 01:11:37,861 --> 01:11:39,896 and it's just been left as an anomaly. 1395 01:11:40,063 --> 01:11:43,367 Neil deGrasse Tyson interviewed Mary Schweitzer and some others 1396 01:11:43,533 --> 01:11:47,437 and then turned the attention to the medullary layer. 1397 01:11:47,604 --> 01:11:49,806 They tried to distract the attention 1398 01:11:50,006 --> 01:11:51,641 away from the red blood cells. 1399 01:11:51,841 --> 01:11:53,276 The medullary layer was there, 1400 01:11:53,443 --> 01:11:56,245 showing that the T-Rex that this bone came from 1401 01:11:56,413 --> 01:11:58,081 was, at the time, carrying eggs. 1402 01:11:58,247 --> 01:12:00,617 That's really what we call a shell game, 1403 01:12:00,784 --> 01:12:02,486 a smoke and mirrors game, 1404 01:12:02,686 --> 01:12:04,421 a dog and pony show 1405 01:12:04,588 --> 01:12:07,991 meant to distract away from the elephant in the room, 1406 01:12:08,191 --> 01:12:10,794 which was there were proteins 1407 01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:12,962 in that T-Rex bone. 1408 01:12:13,129 --> 01:12:16,165 Now Mark Armitage, working University of California, 1409 01:12:16,366 --> 01:12:21,571 did find soft tissue inside of a triceratops horn, 1410 01:12:21,738 --> 01:12:25,675 and when he published that finding, they fired him. 1411 01:12:25,875 --> 01:12:28,612 [laughs] So they are willingly ignorant, 1412 01:12:28,778 --> 01:12:30,647 squelching the truth, 1413 01:12:30,814 --> 01:12:33,116 and this is actually not science. 1414 01:12:33,282 --> 01:12:35,184 This is propaganda. 1415 01:12:35,385 --> 01:12:39,255 Now we're talking about thought control and the mind police. 1416 01:12:39,423 --> 01:12:42,759 They wanted to fire him because they felt that this was a religious position 1417 01:12:42,926 --> 01:12:46,262 when really he had only brought forth a scientific discovery. 1418 01:12:48,164 --> 01:12:51,968 [narrator] In 1993, a film titled "Jurassic Park" 1419 01:12:52,135 --> 01:12:53,970 featured a rather famous scene 1420 01:12:54,137 --> 01:12:58,041 in which the remains of an ancient mosquito were preserved, 1421 01:12:58,241 --> 01:13:01,144 encased in a ball of hardened amber. 1422 01:13:01,310 --> 01:13:02,979 The film goes on to explain 1423 01:13:03,146 --> 01:13:05,381 that the way scientists could resurrect 1424 01:13:05,582 --> 01:13:07,016 the dinosaurs from the past 1425 01:13:07,183 --> 01:13:08,852 was by extracting blood 1426 01:13:09,018 --> 01:13:11,888 from the remains inside this mosquito, 1427 01:13:12,088 --> 01:13:15,559 in which dinosaur DNA could be fully sequenced 1428 01:13:15,759 --> 01:13:17,461 by combining what was missing 1429 01:13:17,627 --> 01:13:19,896 with that of a modern-day frog. 1430 01:13:20,096 --> 01:13:22,699 This idea came about because back in the '90s, 1431 01:13:22,866 --> 01:13:24,734 the writer Michael Crichton 1432 01:13:24,934 --> 01:13:27,471 was struggling to come up with a concept 1433 01:13:27,637 --> 01:13:29,473 to explain how dinosaurs 1434 01:13:29,639 --> 01:13:32,509 could somehow be brought back to life in a feasible way 1435 01:13:32,676 --> 01:13:34,678 in his book of the same title. 1436 01:13:35,712 --> 01:13:39,182 What the "Jurassic Park" creators couldn't have imagined 1437 01:13:39,348 --> 01:13:44,353 was the discovery of soft tissue inside of a dinosaur bone, 1438 01:13:44,954 --> 01:13:46,823 a finding that has since been replicated 1439 01:13:46,990 --> 01:13:48,558 by other scientists, 1440 01:13:48,725 --> 01:13:51,561 such as this stretching triceratops tissue 1441 01:13:51,728 --> 01:13:53,997 discovered by Mark Armitage. 1442 01:13:54,163 --> 01:13:56,099 These discoveries shocked 1443 01:13:56,299 --> 01:13:58,768 the entire paleontological community 1444 01:13:58,968 --> 01:14:00,737 and would likely have rewritten 1445 01:14:00,904 --> 01:14:02,839 the original "Jurassic Park" film 1446 01:14:03,006 --> 01:14:06,510 had they known this was possible at the time. 1447 01:14:06,676 --> 01:14:10,046 In fact, scientists have run into major challenges 1448 01:14:10,213 --> 01:14:12,582 when attempting to publish these findings 1449 01:14:12,749 --> 01:14:15,251 because of the wholesale rejection 1450 01:14:15,418 --> 01:14:18,888 that dinosaur soft tissue could even still exist. 1451 01:14:19,055 --> 01:14:21,290 The consensus at the time agreed 1452 01:14:21,491 --> 01:14:24,260 that it was completely impossible 1453 01:14:24,427 --> 01:14:27,396 because everyone held to the widespread belief 1454 01:14:27,564 --> 01:14:30,366 that the bones were millions of years old, 1455 01:14:30,534 --> 01:14:33,570 which would require that all of their biomaterial 1456 01:14:33,737 --> 01:14:36,105 had long since fossilized. 1457 01:14:36,272 --> 01:14:37,941 There was simply no way 1458 01:14:38,107 --> 01:14:41,444 that these dinosaur bones contained biomaterial 1459 01:14:41,611 --> 01:14:46,282 like blood vessels and proteins such as collagen. 1460 01:14:46,449 --> 01:14:50,453 In fact, of these 16 types of bio-organic materials 1461 01:14:50,620 --> 01:14:53,322 that have since been discovered inside dinosaur bones, 1462 01:14:53,523 --> 01:14:56,392 collagen by itself ends the debate 1463 01:14:56,560 --> 01:14:59,095 on these bones being millions of years old, 1464 01:14:59,262 --> 01:15:01,898 as the maximum age of collagen 1465 01:15:02,065 --> 01:15:05,268 is as low as 10,000 years by some estimates 1466 01:15:05,434 --> 01:15:08,938 and as high as 900,000 years by others, 1467 01:15:09,105 --> 01:15:11,307 with 100,000 years 1468 01:15:11,474 --> 01:15:14,911 being the generally agreed upon maximum age. 1469 01:15:15,078 --> 01:15:16,846 To put this into perspective, 1470 01:15:17,046 --> 01:15:19,816 if each of these tiny bars 1471 01:15:19,983 --> 01:15:23,519 represents a period of 100,000 years, 1472 01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:26,089 then only one of these bars 1473 01:15:26,255 --> 01:15:30,927 represents the maximum age collagen could survive over time. 1474 01:15:31,094 --> 01:15:34,497 If we zoom out to the time span of a hundred million years, 1475 01:15:34,664 --> 01:15:37,366 then we can see that the lifespan of collagen 1476 01:15:37,567 --> 01:15:39,669 is 1,000 times shorter 1477 01:15:39,836 --> 01:15:44,207 than the general age evolutionists claim dinosaur bones are. 1478 01:15:44,407 --> 01:15:46,009 Or another way to say it is 1479 01:15:46,175 --> 01:15:51,014 that collagen doesn't even last. 001% 1480 01:15:51,180 --> 01:15:53,282 as long as it would have to 1481 01:15:53,449 --> 01:15:56,219 in order for evolution theory to work, 1482 01:15:56,419 --> 01:15:59,322 proving that it's not even remotely 1483 01:15:59,488 --> 01:16:01,057 within the realm of possibility 1484 01:16:01,257 --> 01:16:04,327 that collagen could survive for so long. 1485 01:16:05,862 --> 01:16:08,364 The relatively short shelf life of collagen 1486 01:16:08,531 --> 01:16:10,233 proves what the Bible has been saying 1487 01:16:10,433 --> 01:16:12,669 about these bones all along, 1488 01:16:12,836 --> 01:16:16,372 that they're roughly 4,400 years old 1489 01:16:16,539 --> 01:16:18,742 and were buried all over the world 1490 01:16:18,942 --> 01:16:21,410 around the time of Noah's flood. 1491 01:16:22,311 --> 01:16:25,348 [dramatic music] 1492 01:16:30,519 --> 01:16:33,256 [narrator] As the floodwaters began to recede, 1493 01:16:33,456 --> 01:16:37,026 the Earth was in a state of chaos. 1494 01:16:37,193 --> 01:16:39,495 Dinosaur graveyards like these 1495 01:16:39,663 --> 01:16:42,866 would later be found all over the Earth, 1496 01:16:43,032 --> 01:16:46,502 and secular paleontologists agree 1497 01:16:46,670 --> 01:16:51,040 that these worldwide sites share one thing in common. 1498 01:16:51,975 --> 01:16:54,510 The state the bones are found in 1499 01:16:54,678 --> 01:16:57,881 all show evidence of flood burial. 1500 01:17:00,016 --> 01:17:04,287 And now you understand exactly where the water came from, 1501 01:17:06,055 --> 01:17:09,092 water that would eventually dry up 1502 01:17:09,258 --> 01:17:12,862 because it didn't belong there in the first place. 1503 01:17:14,163 --> 01:17:17,901 The whole Earth would undergo a massive reset 1504 01:17:18,067 --> 01:17:21,570 as vegetation would slowly grow back 1505 01:17:21,738 --> 01:17:26,309 and water would find its final resting places. 1506 01:17:29,946 --> 01:17:32,448 Sadly, the Earth that was once 1507 01:17:32,615 --> 01:17:36,085 a perfect habitat for dinosaurs 1508 01:17:36,252 --> 01:17:39,422 was now irrevocably ruined, 1509 01:17:39,588 --> 01:17:42,926 and those dinosaurs that were able to survive 1510 01:17:43,092 --> 01:17:47,263 would be hunted to extinction over time. 1511 01:17:47,430 --> 01:17:50,399 We know them as dinosaurs, 1512 01:17:50,566 --> 01:17:55,138 but legend would remember them as dragons. 1513 01:17:59,375 --> 01:18:00,777 And so it was 1514 01:18:00,944 --> 01:18:04,981 that on the 17th day of the 7th month, 1515 01:18:05,148 --> 01:18:09,285 "the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat." 1516 01:18:09,452 --> 01:18:13,089 It was a little over a year after the flood began 1517 01:18:13,256 --> 01:18:17,193 that Noah, his family, and all onboard the ark 1518 01:18:17,393 --> 01:18:20,529 would finally step onto dry land again. 1519 01:18:22,932 --> 01:18:27,303 This group of eight people would repopulate the Earth, 1520 01:18:27,470 --> 01:18:29,873 just as legends around the world cite 1521 01:18:30,073 --> 01:18:32,441 in their historical literature. 1522 01:18:36,445 --> 01:18:38,882 And science would later prove 1523 01:18:39,082 --> 01:18:42,485 that this genetic bottleneck really did occur, 1524 01:18:43,787 --> 01:18:48,825 exactly as the Bible had told us all along. 1525 01:18:54,798 --> 01:18:58,534 In terms of looking at the way ideas progress, 1526 01:18:58,701 --> 01:19:01,737 we know that history can become more mythical. 1527 01:19:01,938 --> 01:19:05,341 Myth, as a core idea, cannot become more historical. 1528 01:19:05,508 --> 01:19:06,843 It doesn't go the other way. 1529 01:19:07,010 --> 01:19:09,045 History can become more historical. 1530 01:19:09,212 --> 01:19:11,314 Myth becomes more mythical. 1531 01:19:11,480 --> 01:19:13,316 And if you start with myth, you end up with myth. 1532 01:19:13,482 --> 01:19:14,918 You can never go the other way. 1533 01:19:15,118 --> 01:19:17,653 So we can see, as a genre, how different they are. 1534 01:19:17,821 --> 01:19:21,324 There's been about 200 flood traditions 1535 01:19:21,490 --> 01:19:25,228 discovered by anthropologists and missionaries and others, 1536 01:19:25,394 --> 01:19:28,764 and many of these flood traditions come from people groups 1537 01:19:28,965 --> 01:19:30,834 that don't even live near the ocean. 1538 01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:33,502 There are hundreds of flood legends from around the world, 1539 01:19:33,669 --> 01:19:36,505 but in many of these cases, you have huge similarities to the biblical account. 1540 01:19:36,672 --> 01:19:38,774 You have one righteous family that is saved, 1541 01:19:38,975 --> 01:19:41,110 and the reason for the flood is because God was angry. 1542 01:19:41,310 --> 01:19:43,746 The gods were angry at something that humanity had done. 1543 01:19:43,913 --> 01:19:47,951 They all talk about man and animals surviving 1544 01:19:48,151 --> 01:19:49,285 on some kind of a boat. 1545 01:19:49,485 --> 01:19:51,454 There are lots of similarities, 1546 01:19:51,654 --> 01:19:53,556 but the true account is in Genesis. 1547 01:19:53,722 --> 01:19:55,224 Some of the evidence of that 1548 01:19:55,391 --> 01:19:57,961 is just in the description of the ark. 1549 01:19:58,161 --> 01:20:01,264 The Babylonian Gilgamesh Epic 1550 01:20:01,430 --> 01:20:03,599 has a cube for the ark. 1551 01:20:03,766 --> 01:20:05,768 Well, that would just roll in the water, 1552 01:20:05,935 --> 01:20:07,736 and everything would die. 1553 01:20:07,904 --> 01:20:10,306 The biblical account has a flood 1554 01:20:10,506 --> 01:20:13,042 that its duration is 371 days. 1555 01:20:13,209 --> 01:20:15,211 But when we come to the Gilgamesh Epic, 1556 01:20:15,378 --> 01:20:16,980 it's merely six days. 1557 01:20:17,180 --> 01:20:19,582 It only took one week to build this huge ark, 1558 01:20:19,748 --> 01:20:22,151 where it took Noah probably 55 years 1559 01:20:22,351 --> 01:20:26,255 or something in that range to construct his ark. 1560 01:20:26,422 --> 01:20:28,591 The biblical account is the true account, 1561 01:20:28,757 --> 01:20:31,494 and these other stories are the result 1562 01:20:31,694 --> 01:20:35,899 of people migrating from the Tower of Babel after the flood 1563 01:20:36,065 --> 01:20:38,467 and preserving in their memory 1564 01:20:38,634 --> 01:20:42,338 an echo of the true account that is recorded in Genesis. 1565 01:20:42,538 --> 01:20:46,009 And the farther they moved away from the Middle East 1566 01:20:46,209 --> 01:20:48,744 and any contact with the true account, 1567 01:20:48,912 --> 01:20:52,815 the more the story got corrupted over time. 1568 01:20:52,982 --> 01:20:55,018 And so that explains the differences 1569 01:20:55,218 --> 01:20:56,785 as well as the similarities. 1570 01:20:56,953 --> 01:20:59,588 The biblical account, by all measure, 1571 01:20:59,755 --> 01:21:01,524 stands independent from the others. 1572 01:21:01,724 --> 01:21:03,859 So they certainly had a common core in history. 1573 01:21:04,060 --> 01:21:05,628 There was an event that happened. 1574 01:21:06,162 --> 01:21:08,797 We've actually recorded about 23 different accounts 1575 01:21:08,965 --> 01:21:11,834 that are very similar to Babel, where people were trying to build this tower, 1576 01:21:12,001 --> 01:21:14,637 and the gods were angry or God was angry 1577 01:21:14,803 --> 01:21:17,173 and forced them to scatter by confusing their language. 1578 01:21:17,340 --> 01:21:19,943 And then from Genesis 12 onward, 1579 01:21:20,109 --> 01:21:21,277 we don't see similarities anymore. 1580 01:21:21,444 --> 01:21:22,811 There's no Abraham legend. 1581 01:21:22,979 --> 01:21:24,547 There's no Isaac legend or David legend 1582 01:21:24,747 --> 01:21:25,648 or anything like that. 1583 01:21:25,814 --> 01:21:27,550 But Genesis 1 through 11, 1584 01:21:27,750 --> 01:21:29,785 people all around the globe seem to know about. Why? 1585 01:21:29,953 --> 01:21:31,787 Well, because what the Bible's telling us is true, 1586 01:21:31,955 --> 01:21:34,157 and up until Genesis 11 at the Babel event, 1587 01:21:34,323 --> 01:21:36,459 mankind had a shared history. 1588 01:21:36,625 --> 01:21:38,694 And then they took that history with them, and they passed it along, 1589 01:21:38,861 --> 01:21:40,796 and it gets distorted as the years go by. 1590 01:21:40,964 --> 01:21:43,166 After the flood, God blesses Noah and his sons, 1591 01:21:43,332 --> 01:21:45,234 tells him to be fruitful and multiply, fill the Earth, 1592 01:21:45,434 --> 01:21:46,835 the same sort of thing that he told Adam and Eve. 1593 01:21:47,003 --> 01:21:49,505 So, in a sense, man gets to start over. 1594 01:21:49,672 --> 01:21:52,041 And yet what do we see just a few generations later? 1595 01:21:52,208 --> 01:21:53,676 The people refuse to scatter. 1596 01:21:53,842 --> 01:21:55,911 They said "No, we're gonna stay right here 1597 01:21:56,112 --> 01:21:57,981 in the Mesopotamian Valley," 1598 01:21:58,147 --> 01:22:00,316 and they began to build a tower. 1599 01:22:00,483 --> 01:22:02,351 They had a one-world government. 1600 01:22:02,518 --> 01:22:05,989 Genesis 11 tells us that God stopped that building project 1601 01:22:06,155 --> 01:22:09,225 by supernaturally creating different languages 1602 01:22:09,392 --> 01:22:11,394 to force the people to move apart, 1603 01:22:11,560 --> 01:22:15,598 according to their families, into different nations. 1604 01:22:15,798 --> 01:22:19,368 People then who were biologically, genetically very close 1605 01:22:19,535 --> 01:22:23,606 began to marry within their language group. 1606 01:22:23,806 --> 01:22:25,508 And from what we know of genetics, 1607 01:22:25,674 --> 01:22:29,745 that would bring out recessive genes to become dominant 1608 01:22:29,912 --> 01:22:33,116 and physical characteristics associated with that. 1609 01:22:33,316 --> 01:22:34,617 But the Bible is very clear. 1610 01:22:34,817 --> 01:22:36,785 There's only one race, Adam's race. 1611 01:22:36,986 --> 01:22:40,723 Paul says that God made from one man or one blood 1612 01:22:40,889 --> 01:22:44,260 "all the nations to dwell upon the face of the Earth." 1613 01:22:44,427 --> 01:22:46,929 So there's absolutely no basis 1614 01:22:47,096 --> 01:22:48,864 for saying that one group of people 1615 01:22:49,032 --> 01:22:51,067 with a certain shade of brown skin 1616 01:22:51,234 --> 01:22:53,869 are superior or inferior to some other people 1617 01:22:54,037 --> 01:22:56,105 who have a different shade of brown skin. 1618 01:22:56,272 --> 01:22:59,708 We have no basis to hate people that look different from us 1619 01:22:59,875 --> 01:23:03,546 because, in reality, everybody looks different from me. 1620 01:23:03,712 --> 01:23:05,914 So if I were gonna hate people that look different from me, 1621 01:23:06,082 --> 01:23:07,550 I'd have to hate everybody. 1622 01:23:07,716 --> 01:23:11,054 So we should be loving and accepting 1623 01:23:11,220 --> 01:23:13,056 because we're all descended 1624 01:23:13,222 --> 01:23:15,558 from the same couple, Adam and Eve. 1625 01:23:15,724 --> 01:23:18,727 Now the interesting thing is that most evidence shows 1626 01:23:18,894 --> 01:23:21,297 that humanity started in the Middle East, 1627 01:23:21,464 --> 01:23:23,732 which we'd expect if the Tower of Babel was true. 1628 01:23:23,899 --> 01:23:25,901 All these languages seem to have diverged 1629 01:23:26,069 --> 01:23:27,236 from about that region. 1630 01:23:28,571 --> 01:23:31,340 [ethereal music] 1631 01:23:32,575 --> 01:23:34,943 [narrator] As what was now left of the ark 1632 01:23:35,111 --> 01:23:37,746 rested in the mountains of Ararat, 1633 01:23:39,082 --> 01:23:41,817 God made a covenant with Noah, 1634 01:23:42,585 --> 01:23:46,455 promising him and all of his posterity 1635 01:23:46,622 --> 01:23:50,025 that He would never again destroy the Earth 1636 01:23:50,226 --> 01:23:52,761 and all life on it with a flood. 1637 01:23:55,064 --> 01:23:58,000 Then God blessed Noah and his sons 1638 01:23:59,502 --> 01:24:03,106 and commanded them to once again multiply 1639 01:24:03,272 --> 01:24:05,040 and spread out upon the Earth. 1640 01:24:06,142 --> 01:24:10,679 But on the plains of Shinar, men disobeyed God's command, 1641 01:24:10,846 --> 01:24:15,318 and instead they came together to build a city 1642 01:24:16,252 --> 01:24:20,823 and a great tower they intended to reach to the heavens 1643 01:24:20,989 --> 01:24:25,161 in an ultimate act of rebellion 1644 01:24:25,328 --> 01:24:27,396 and rejection of God. 1645 01:24:28,264 --> 01:24:30,899 [ominous music] 1646 01:24:34,137 --> 01:24:36,639 But God came down 1647 01:24:36,805 --> 01:24:39,375 and put a stop to their tower 1648 01:24:39,542 --> 01:24:43,246 by dividing their once unified language 1649 01:24:43,446 --> 01:24:45,848 into many languages. 1650 01:24:46,014 --> 01:24:48,684 And out of confusion and fear, 1651 01:24:48,851 --> 01:24:50,819 they stopped building the tower 1652 01:24:50,986 --> 01:24:53,489 and dispersed into what would become 1653 01:24:53,656 --> 01:24:55,324 the nations of the world. 1654 01:24:59,528 --> 01:25:02,231 [pensive music] 1655 01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:06,769 It was within a few centuries 1656 01:25:06,969 --> 01:25:09,872 after Noah and his family departed from the ark 1657 01:25:10,038 --> 01:25:13,276 that the people of the world were of one language, 1658 01:25:13,476 --> 01:25:18,247 but today, there are over 7,000 languages in the world 1659 01:25:18,414 --> 01:25:21,517 which trace back to an ancestral family group 1660 01:25:21,684 --> 01:25:23,586 that each belongs to. 1661 01:25:23,752 --> 01:25:27,723 For example, Italian can be traced back to Latin, 1662 01:25:27,890 --> 01:25:30,092 its root language family. 1663 01:25:30,259 --> 01:25:32,695 However, when linguists attempted 1664 01:25:32,861 --> 01:25:36,064 to trace the root language families further upstream, 1665 01:25:36,232 --> 01:25:39,067 they encountered a serious problem. 1666 01:25:39,235 --> 01:25:42,571 The language families would eventually lead to dead ends, 1667 01:25:42,738 --> 01:25:45,774 otherwise known as language isolates. 1668 01:25:45,941 --> 01:25:49,044 This directly contradicts the merged root language 1669 01:25:49,212 --> 01:25:51,414 that evolutionists were expecting to find 1670 01:25:51,580 --> 01:25:54,283 or what some linguists theoretically call 1671 01:25:54,450 --> 01:25:56,752 the elusive proto-world language. 1672 01:25:58,354 --> 01:26:01,123 Instead, what they find are a bunch of languages 1673 01:26:01,290 --> 01:26:04,727 that seemed to have emerged out of nowhere, 1674 01:26:04,893 --> 01:26:07,930 unless, of course, you factor in the events that took place 1675 01:26:08,096 --> 01:26:09,432 at the Tower of Babel, 1676 01:26:11,033 --> 01:26:13,736 which provides an incredible explanation 1677 01:26:13,902 --> 01:26:16,505 evolutionists refuse to accept. 1678 01:26:17,640 --> 01:26:19,408 Further still, consider 1679 01:26:19,575 --> 01:26:22,110 that when you trace known languages on a map, 1680 01:26:22,278 --> 01:26:24,813 something very telling occurs. 1681 01:26:24,980 --> 01:26:27,250 Many of the earliest languages trace back 1682 01:26:27,416 --> 01:26:29,285 to one location on Earth, 1683 01:26:29,452 --> 01:26:33,522 a place commonly referred to as the cradle of civilization, 1684 01:26:34,390 --> 01:26:35,591 Mesopotamia. 1685 01:26:37,793 --> 01:26:39,428 And what's also revealing 1686 01:26:39,595 --> 01:26:41,964 is that the timeframe of many languages 1687 01:26:42,130 --> 01:26:46,034 also trace back to that approximate point in time, 1688 01:26:46,235 --> 01:26:49,472 which is just after the flood and Tower of Babel 1689 01:26:49,638 --> 01:26:52,007 in the third millennium BC. 1690 01:26:52,174 --> 01:26:54,277 Furthermore, linguists believe 1691 01:26:54,443 --> 01:26:56,945 that approximately 94 proto-language families 1692 01:26:57,112 --> 01:26:58,947 should exist in theory, 1693 01:26:59,114 --> 01:27:02,951 and they also believe that this number may lower over time 1694 01:27:03,118 --> 01:27:06,355 as more research leads to more mergers. 1695 01:27:06,522 --> 01:27:11,026 By no coincidence, there are approximately 70 people groups 1696 01:27:11,193 --> 01:27:13,228 in the biblical table of nations 1697 01:27:13,429 --> 01:27:17,165 recorded in the Bible around the time of the Babel event. 1698 01:27:17,333 --> 01:27:21,069 What are the odds that the estimated root language families 1699 01:27:21,270 --> 01:27:24,740 so closely reflect the same number of the nations 1700 01:27:24,940 --> 01:27:28,644 the Bible lists at the time of the Tower of Babel? 1701 01:27:29,645 --> 01:27:32,381 And what's more is that these people groups 1702 01:27:32,548 --> 01:27:35,851 also have myths and legends within their cultures 1703 01:27:36,018 --> 01:27:38,987 of both an ancient flood that destroyed the world 1704 01:27:39,154 --> 01:27:43,759 and a time when their ancestors attempted to build a tower. 1705 01:27:43,959 --> 01:27:45,594 These stories, of course, vary, 1706 01:27:45,794 --> 01:27:48,897 but the core elements tend to remain intact, 1707 01:27:49,064 --> 01:27:52,435 with the Cherokee and other Native American tribes 1708 01:27:52,635 --> 01:27:55,671 even including that their language was once changed 1709 01:27:55,838 --> 01:27:58,173 much earlier in history, 1710 01:27:58,341 --> 01:28:00,776 as only one example of hundreds. 1711 01:28:02,378 --> 01:28:05,548 In like fashion, human genetics also reveal 1712 01:28:05,714 --> 01:28:08,250 a similar pattern to the languages, 1713 01:28:08,417 --> 01:28:12,555 as the genes extracted from over 100 human remains 1714 01:28:12,721 --> 01:28:15,358 from the so-called Bronze Age era revealed 1715 01:28:15,524 --> 01:28:17,726 that the further back in time you go, 1716 01:28:17,893 --> 01:28:21,129 the less genetic mixing there was, 1717 01:28:21,330 --> 01:28:25,601 with their data showing relatively unmixed genetic lineages 1718 01:28:25,768 --> 01:28:26,969 around the time of Babel, 1719 01:28:28,337 --> 01:28:30,873 which, of course, is no coincidence. 1720 01:28:31,607 --> 01:28:35,478 Only God's supernatural intervention can explain 1721 01:28:35,678 --> 01:28:38,280 the multifaceted bottleneck we see 1722 01:28:38,447 --> 01:28:40,383 across so many fields of science. 1723 01:28:40,549 --> 01:28:43,151 It was at this event that God changed 1724 01:28:43,352 --> 01:28:46,254 the entire course of human history once again. 1725 01:28:46,422 --> 01:28:48,290 It was also after Babel 1726 01:28:48,457 --> 01:28:50,659 that God instituted human government. 1727 01:28:50,859 --> 01:28:54,397 And at a time when nationalism is being attacked 1728 01:28:54,563 --> 01:28:57,299 by those wishing to establish a one-world government, 1729 01:28:57,466 --> 01:28:59,234 it is important to remember 1730 01:28:59,402 --> 01:29:03,138 that it was God who divided the world into nations. 1731 01:29:03,305 --> 01:29:07,476 It was God who was against the man-centered godless society 1732 01:29:07,643 --> 01:29:09,612 mankind was beginning to fashion. 1733 01:29:09,778 --> 01:29:12,080 And as any historian will tell you, 1734 01:29:12,247 --> 01:29:15,751 history has a way of repeating itself. 1735 01:29:17,953 --> 01:29:20,589 When we come to the story of Noah's Ark, 1736 01:29:20,756 --> 01:29:22,124 it's more than just a story. 1737 01:29:22,290 --> 01:29:24,259 It certainly is a part of vital history. 1738 01:29:24,427 --> 01:29:26,028 There was an ancient world, 1739 01:29:26,228 --> 01:29:28,464 and that ancient world, because of corruption, 1740 01:29:28,631 --> 01:29:30,533 was destroyed by a flood. 1741 01:29:30,733 --> 01:29:33,101 And that was the judgment that was on mankind. 1742 01:29:33,268 --> 01:29:34,537 Since man is not changed, 1743 01:29:34,737 --> 01:29:36,539 there is yet a future judgment coming. 1744 01:29:36,739 --> 01:29:39,007 It'll be just as it was in the days of Noah. 1745 01:29:39,174 --> 01:29:41,176 They'll be giving and taking in marriage. 1746 01:29:41,343 --> 01:29:43,446 They were having families. They were doing their work. 1747 01:29:43,612 --> 01:29:45,280 They were just living life as normal. 1748 01:29:45,448 --> 01:29:48,150 They didn't believe the judgment was coming. 1749 01:29:48,316 --> 01:29:51,687 The flood did come, and people were not ready. 1750 01:29:51,854 --> 01:29:54,222 Before the flood, people were eating and drinking 1751 01:29:54,423 --> 01:29:56,024 and married and given in marriage, 1752 01:29:56,191 --> 01:29:59,227 with a total disregard to the building of the ark, 1753 01:29:59,428 --> 01:30:02,330 to what was being preached to them, to all the things around them. 1754 01:30:02,498 --> 01:30:05,033 And Jesus says just before He returns, 1755 01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:08,804 people will be in rebellion, ignoring God, 1756 01:30:08,971 --> 01:30:11,874 just going on living their life as if God doesn't exist. 1757 01:30:12,040 --> 01:30:16,645 They will be surprised when Jesus comes and brings judgment. 1758 01:30:16,812 --> 01:30:18,180 There was a judgment that happened, 1759 01:30:18,346 --> 01:30:19,548 and there's a judgment that is coming, 1760 01:30:19,715 --> 01:30:20,849 and we need to be prepared. 1761 01:30:21,016 --> 01:30:22,651 The Bible does talk about 1762 01:30:22,818 --> 01:30:24,753 the last days, the end times. 1763 01:30:24,953 --> 01:30:27,255 Biblical evil, if you look 1764 01:30:27,456 --> 01:30:31,159 at all of the different Old Testament accounts, 1765 01:30:31,326 --> 01:30:35,097 would be idolatry, witchcraft, 1766 01:30:35,297 --> 01:30:39,502 the occultism, demon worship, and things like that 1767 01:30:39,668 --> 01:30:43,338 and the perversions that go along with these things. 1768 01:30:43,506 --> 01:30:45,207 Public schools now 1769 01:30:45,373 --> 01:30:50,012 are teaching against the idea of marriage. 1770 01:30:50,178 --> 01:30:53,549 They want to corrupt the minds of innocent hearts 1771 01:30:53,716 --> 01:30:56,351 long before they've even thought about sex, 1772 01:30:56,519 --> 01:30:59,454 at the earliest possible age. Not just sexualized, 1773 01:30:59,655 --> 01:31:03,225 but sexualized in terms of all possible forms of deviation. 1774 01:31:03,391 --> 01:31:05,794 Of course, we have the plague of abortion, 1775 01:31:05,994 --> 01:31:07,730 the sins of Moloch, 1776 01:31:08,731 --> 01:31:10,733 the burning of children, 1777 01:31:10,899 --> 01:31:13,468 the plague of sex trafficking, 1778 01:31:13,669 --> 01:31:15,704 and the exploitation of the vulnerable. 1779 01:31:15,871 --> 01:31:19,074 These things are the evils and the darknesses of our age, 1780 01:31:19,241 --> 01:31:20,876 and they're become more prevalent 1781 01:31:21,043 --> 01:31:23,946 and even massively institutionalized. 1782 01:31:24,112 --> 01:31:25,447 It's a very good sign. 1783 01:31:25,614 --> 01:31:27,716 Not a good sign, but an accurate sign 1784 01:31:27,883 --> 01:31:29,785 that we're in the same kind of darkness 1785 01:31:29,952 --> 01:31:31,820 that was in the days of Noah. 1786 01:31:32,020 --> 01:31:34,557 And you see that we are in that darkness now. 1787 01:31:34,723 --> 01:31:35,958 When's the Lord coming back? 1788 01:31:36,124 --> 01:31:37,926 The Bible says that nobody knows, 1789 01:31:38,093 --> 01:31:41,597 but when it comes, everyone's gonna know all at once, 1790 01:31:41,764 --> 01:31:43,498 like lightning across the sky. 1791 01:31:43,699 --> 01:31:45,934 And I tell you, I want to be on the right side. 1792 01:31:46,101 --> 01:31:48,971 Who doesn't like being on the winning team at the end? 1793 01:31:49,137 --> 01:31:51,840 I know in this case, it's especially vital 1794 01:31:52,040 --> 01:31:53,241 in the eternity sense. 1795 01:31:53,408 --> 01:31:56,244 Eternity is a timeless thing. 1796 01:31:56,411 --> 01:31:58,280 We don't understand infinity, 1797 01:31:58,446 --> 01:32:00,082 but we do know it's permanent. 1798 01:32:00,248 --> 01:32:04,486 The second coming is a wonderful, wonderful image, 1799 01:32:04,653 --> 01:32:06,689 but it's also a time of judgment. 1800 01:32:06,889 --> 01:32:09,357 It's also a time of finality. 1801 01:32:09,558 --> 01:32:12,294 It's also a time of justice. 1802 01:32:12,460 --> 01:32:17,532 Just as the flood came suddenly, 1803 01:32:17,733 --> 01:32:20,368 so the second coming of Christ will be sudden. 1804 01:32:20,569 --> 01:32:22,771 Just as the flood was certain, 1805 01:32:22,938 --> 01:32:25,774 so the second coming of Christ is certain 1806 01:32:25,941 --> 01:32:27,643 and will actually happen. 1807 01:32:27,810 --> 01:32:30,345 That judgment of the flood is a warning 1808 01:32:30,512 --> 01:32:31,847 of the judgment to come. 1809 01:32:32,014 --> 01:32:34,983 [suspenseful music] 1810 01:32:36,451 --> 01:32:39,187 [narrator] Jesus Christ is the most written of 1811 01:32:39,354 --> 01:32:43,058 and influential person in all of world history. 1812 01:32:43,258 --> 01:32:46,161 But what has made so many throughout the millennia 1813 01:32:46,328 --> 01:32:49,297 believe that He is who He says He was, 1814 01:32:50,198 --> 01:32:52,668 God in human flesh, 1815 01:32:52,835 --> 01:32:55,170 the Savior of mankind, 1816 01:32:55,337 --> 01:32:58,073 the Messiah who was prophesied of in the Bible? 1817 01:32:59,341 --> 01:33:03,178 You see, the Bible is the only book on Earth 1818 01:33:03,345 --> 01:33:07,049 that has repeatedly proved its inspiration of God 1819 01:33:07,215 --> 01:33:11,186 by virtue of telling us the future in advance. 1820 01:33:11,353 --> 01:33:14,990 For example, around 626 BC, 1821 01:33:15,157 --> 01:33:18,861 Jeremiah the prophet predicted Israel would be conquered, 1822 01:33:19,027 --> 01:33:22,765 Jerusalem and the temple would be destroyed, 1823 01:33:22,965 --> 01:33:25,400 and the Babylonians would rule over God's people, 1824 01:33:25,567 --> 01:33:28,570 taking them captive into exile for 70 years. 1825 01:33:28,737 --> 01:33:32,240 And shortly after his prophecy was written, 1826 01:33:32,407 --> 01:33:36,244 that's exactly what happened around 587 BC. 1827 01:33:36,411 --> 01:33:38,113 Then there's Isaiah 1828 01:33:38,313 --> 01:33:42,617 who wrote that Babylon's gates would open for Cyrus, 1829 01:33:42,818 --> 01:33:46,955 a king who wouldn't be born for over 150 years. 1830 01:33:47,155 --> 01:33:49,624 And in 539 BC, 1831 01:33:49,825 --> 01:33:52,761 the formidable city's gates were indeed opened 1832 01:33:52,928 --> 01:33:55,964 to a king named Cyrus and his army. 1833 01:33:56,164 --> 01:33:59,601 And, as foretold, Babylon was destroyed, 1834 01:33:59,768 --> 01:34:04,306 which both Jeremiah and Isaiah prophesied would happen. 1835 01:34:04,506 --> 01:34:06,608 And then there's the famous prophecy of Daniel 1836 01:34:06,775 --> 01:34:10,312 in which he predicted the appearance of the Messiah, 1837 01:34:10,512 --> 01:34:12,380 claiming that He would come 1838 01:34:12,547 --> 01:34:17,485 483 years after a decree would be made to rebuild Jerusalem, 1839 01:34:17,686 --> 01:34:22,057 which is exactly the time in which Jesus appeared. 1840 01:34:22,224 --> 01:34:24,827 And when it comes to Jesus fulfilling prophecies, 1841 01:34:25,027 --> 01:34:28,296 there are hundreds concerning Him alone. 1842 01:34:28,463 --> 01:34:31,633 Scripture said that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem, 1843 01:34:31,800 --> 01:34:34,236 that the Christ would live in Galilee. 1844 01:34:34,402 --> 01:34:37,305 He would teach parables, be rejected by the rulers, 1845 01:34:37,472 --> 01:34:39,975 be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver. 1846 01:34:40,142 --> 01:34:42,510 And it was even prophesied that He would be crucified, 1847 01:34:42,711 --> 01:34:44,446 not stoned to death, 1848 01:34:44,612 --> 01:34:49,117 at a time when crucifixion hadn't even yet been invented. 1849 01:34:49,284 --> 01:34:53,521 Furthermore, there are other prophecies much like Daniel's 1850 01:34:53,722 --> 01:34:57,125 that also tell us the timeline of the Messiah. 1851 01:34:58,126 --> 01:34:59,762 His birth had to happen 1852 01:34:59,928 --> 01:35:02,931 before the scepter of Judah departed, 1853 01:35:03,732 --> 01:35:06,468 while the temple was still standing, 1854 01:35:06,634 --> 01:35:09,471 but before it would be destroyed. 1855 01:35:10,305 --> 01:35:12,775 And very notably, He had to come 1856 01:35:12,941 --> 01:35:16,178 while genealogical records still existed 1857 01:35:16,344 --> 01:35:20,448 to prove His lineage was of the line of David. 1858 01:35:20,615 --> 01:35:22,050 Those records perished 1859 01:35:22,250 --> 01:35:24,853 when the temple was destroyed in 70 AD. 1860 01:35:25,353 --> 01:35:28,723 Strikingly, Jesus Christ walked the Earth 1861 01:35:28,924 --> 01:35:30,993 during exactly the critical period 1862 01:35:31,159 --> 01:35:35,497 when a multitude of prophecies about the Messiah converged. 1863 01:35:35,663 --> 01:35:39,667 You see, Jesus warned us that in the last days, 1864 01:35:39,835 --> 01:35:42,537 the time we are now on the threshold of, 1865 01:35:42,704 --> 01:35:45,307 there would come a false messiah 1866 01:35:45,473 --> 01:35:47,209 who would deceive many into believing 1867 01:35:47,375 --> 01:35:50,145 that he is the one prophesied about. 1868 01:35:50,312 --> 01:35:54,850 Scripture refers to this false messiah as the antichrist. 1869 01:35:56,118 --> 01:35:57,752 The Bible says 1870 01:35:57,953 --> 01:36:01,556 that during this short period of time soon to come, 1871 01:36:01,723 --> 01:36:04,559 the antichrist and his system of governance 1872 01:36:04,726 --> 01:36:06,261 will rise to power. 1873 01:36:06,461 --> 01:36:08,663 Much like what happened at the Tower of Babel, 1874 01:36:08,831 --> 01:36:10,933 this singular entity will rule 1875 01:36:11,133 --> 01:36:14,402 with nationalism in many places being abolished 1876 01:36:14,569 --> 01:36:16,404 as their sovereignty will collapse 1877 01:36:16,571 --> 01:36:19,374 into a single system of total control. 1878 01:36:20,642 --> 01:36:22,210 "Many who don't think and believe," 1879 01:36:22,377 --> 01:36:23,846 as the antichrist declares, 1880 01:36:24,012 --> 01:36:26,748 "will not be able to buy or sell. 1881 01:36:26,915 --> 01:36:28,783 Many will be put to death." 1882 01:36:29,351 --> 01:36:32,720 Today, a mass global awakening is transpiring 1883 01:36:32,888 --> 01:36:35,590 where individuals irrespective of politics 1884 01:36:35,757 --> 01:36:39,294 discern the burgeoning antichrist-like infrastructure 1885 01:36:39,494 --> 01:36:41,296 that is developing all around them, 1886 01:36:41,496 --> 01:36:45,467 with many recognizing that the plagues, famines, wars, 1887 01:36:45,667 --> 01:36:47,435 hyperinflation, lawlessness, 1888 01:36:47,602 --> 01:36:50,472 and acts of nature prophesied of in the Bible 1889 01:36:50,672 --> 01:36:53,942 are appearing to be orchestrated by design, 1890 01:36:54,109 --> 01:36:56,144 a deliberate transition, 1891 01:36:56,344 --> 01:36:59,814 as we are on the cusp of a satanic rise of power, 1892 01:37:00,015 --> 01:37:02,417 a time the Bible calls 1893 01:37:02,584 --> 01:37:04,286 the Great Tribulation. 1894 01:37:05,053 --> 01:37:06,989 It's a time in which God will focus His attention 1895 01:37:07,189 --> 01:37:08,590 back on Israel, 1896 01:37:08,756 --> 01:37:11,426 specifically as Israel is at the center 1897 01:37:11,593 --> 01:37:13,161 of many of the biblical prophecies 1898 01:37:13,361 --> 01:37:15,463 which have yet to be fulfilled. 1899 01:37:15,630 --> 01:37:17,632 Even now, we can already see 1900 01:37:17,799 --> 01:37:20,135 one such prophecy found in Zechariah 1901 01:37:20,302 --> 01:37:23,171 in which God said that in the last days, 1902 01:37:23,371 --> 01:37:26,474 He would make Israel a nation of distress 1903 01:37:26,641 --> 01:37:28,843 to all the nations surrounding it. 1904 01:37:29,044 --> 01:37:31,313 Incredible insight when considering 1905 01:37:31,479 --> 01:37:35,350 that such a small spot on Earth will be at the center 1906 01:37:35,550 --> 01:37:37,652 of a coming global war. 1907 01:37:40,388 --> 01:37:45,360 And as the climactic end to God's prophetic plans draw near, 1908 01:37:45,560 --> 01:37:50,032 the Lord's return and Israel's redemption lie ahead. 1909 01:37:50,232 --> 01:37:51,934 Out of profound love, 1910 01:37:52,100 --> 01:37:55,938 God postponed His Son's return for earthly judgment. 1911 01:37:56,104 --> 01:37:59,507 You see, mankind are all guilty 1912 01:37:59,674 --> 01:38:02,544 of committing terrible sins before a holy God. 1913 01:38:02,744 --> 01:38:04,446 If each person were to give 1914 01:38:04,612 --> 01:38:07,549 an individual account unto God on their own merit, 1915 01:38:07,749 --> 01:38:10,352 they would certainly face a terrible judgment. 1916 01:38:11,753 --> 01:38:13,121 But here's the good news. 1917 01:38:14,022 --> 01:38:17,392 God's masterful plan, as unveiled in Corinthians, 1918 01:38:17,592 --> 01:38:19,461 reveals that while humanity 1919 01:38:19,627 --> 01:38:22,230 collectively inherited condemnation 1920 01:38:22,430 --> 01:38:25,233 through one man's disobedience, Adam, 1921 01:38:25,433 --> 01:38:28,870 they can now find forgiveness and salvation 1922 01:38:29,037 --> 01:38:32,840 through the obedience of one man, Jesus Christ. 1923 01:38:33,008 --> 01:38:36,711 If one man can bring death to all through his sin, 1924 01:38:36,878 --> 01:38:41,183 then it follows that a sinless man can bring life to all 1925 01:38:41,349 --> 01:38:43,218 through His obedience. 1926 01:38:43,385 --> 01:38:46,654 Thankfully, God in His wisdom and mercy 1927 01:38:46,821 --> 01:38:49,191 has given us a simple and easy way 1928 01:38:49,357 --> 01:38:51,659 to be justified in His sight, 1929 01:38:51,826 --> 01:38:53,761 and that is through His Son, 1930 01:38:54,729 --> 01:38:56,431 Jesus Christ. 1931 01:38:57,799 --> 01:39:00,102 [ethereal music] 1932 01:39:00,302 --> 01:39:05,107 The Bible tells us that God created a perfect world. 1933 01:39:05,307 --> 01:39:07,209 Adam sinned, 1934 01:39:07,375 --> 01:39:08,910 and because of Adam's sin, 1935 01:39:09,077 --> 01:39:10,878 we are all born sinners, 1936 01:39:11,046 --> 01:39:12,714 but we also choose to sin. 1937 01:39:12,880 --> 01:39:14,716 We choose to rebel against God. 1938 01:39:14,882 --> 01:39:18,420 Every one of us has broken the Ten Commandments 1939 01:39:18,586 --> 01:39:21,589 in thought or word or deed, 1940 01:39:21,756 --> 01:39:23,625 through the evil that we have done 1941 01:39:23,825 --> 01:39:26,028 or the good that we have failed to do, 1942 01:39:26,194 --> 01:39:29,131 through ignorance, through weakness, 1943 01:39:29,331 --> 01:39:31,633 or through our own deliberate fault. 1944 01:39:31,833 --> 01:39:33,701 We're all guilty before God. 1945 01:39:33,868 --> 01:39:36,271 We all deserve His judgment. 1946 01:39:36,438 --> 01:39:38,140 And the Bible says in Romans 1947 01:39:38,340 --> 01:39:41,743 that the wages of sin or the penalty of sin is death. 1948 01:39:41,909 --> 01:39:45,247 And so God sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, 1949 01:39:45,413 --> 01:39:47,049 to die on the cross 1950 01:39:47,215 --> 01:39:51,786 to take the wrath of God for us, pay the penalty for sin, 1951 01:39:51,953 --> 01:39:53,488 and then He rose from the dead, 1952 01:39:53,688 --> 01:39:55,890 proving that He had paid that penalty, 1953 01:39:56,058 --> 01:39:57,492 that He had conquered death, 1954 01:39:57,692 --> 01:39:59,494 and that He could give us eternal life. 1955 01:39:59,694 --> 01:40:04,399 We need to respond to what Jesus has done, every one of us. 1956 01:40:04,566 --> 01:40:06,468 No one can respond for us. 1957 01:40:06,634 --> 01:40:10,172 We must each personally acknowledge to God 1958 01:40:10,372 --> 01:40:11,973 that we have sinned against Him, 1959 01:40:12,140 --> 01:40:13,975 that we deserve His judgment, 1960 01:40:14,142 --> 01:40:16,778 and then put our trust in Jesus Christ 1961 01:40:16,944 --> 01:40:19,081 as our Savior and our Lord. 1962 01:40:19,247 --> 01:40:21,916 And when we do that, we're forgiven. 1963 01:40:22,084 --> 01:40:25,320 We're restored to a right relationship with God, 1964 01:40:25,487 --> 01:40:27,622 to a personal relationship with God, 1965 01:40:27,789 --> 01:40:29,791 and we're given the gift of eternal life. 1966 01:40:29,957 --> 01:40:32,527 We've heard that the Ark of Noah 1967 01:40:32,727 --> 01:40:36,798 was an ark constructed for the salvation of mankind. 1968 01:40:36,964 --> 01:40:40,202 It had one door in it, and that was a single entrance. 1969 01:40:40,402 --> 01:40:42,804 That was done by design. 1970 01:40:42,970 --> 01:40:45,873 God also only has one way of salvation. 1971 01:40:46,074 --> 01:40:48,210 That way of salvation in the ark 1972 01:40:48,410 --> 01:40:49,677 was to preserve them through God's judgment, 1973 01:40:49,844 --> 01:40:51,646 which was the flood. 1974 01:40:51,813 --> 01:40:54,482 And someone had to trust in God 1975 01:40:54,649 --> 01:40:56,651 and accept Him and come His way, 1976 01:40:56,818 --> 01:40:58,353 which was that one way into the ark, 1977 01:40:58,520 --> 01:41:00,188 in order to be saved. 1978 01:41:00,355 --> 01:41:03,358 The real problem for us is not the one way to God. 1979 01:41:03,525 --> 01:41:05,960 It's God. It's that we're wanting to come 1980 01:41:06,128 --> 01:41:10,031 to someone who now tells us what we need. 1981 01:41:10,198 --> 01:41:12,167 We need His salvation. 1982 01:41:12,334 --> 01:41:14,736 Tells us we're sinners, which we don't want to hear. 1983 01:41:14,936 --> 01:41:17,004 Tells us we need to depend upon Him. 1984 01:41:17,172 --> 01:41:20,142 And I think ultimately, all of us deep down realize 1985 01:41:20,308 --> 01:41:21,909 we are not what we should be, 1986 01:41:22,110 --> 01:41:23,645 that there is a God who made all these things. 1987 01:41:23,811 --> 01:41:25,547 We certainly didn't do it. 1988 01:41:25,713 --> 01:41:28,583 All the creation, all the irreducible complexities, 1989 01:41:28,783 --> 01:41:30,385 all the things that exist 1990 01:41:30,552 --> 01:41:32,654 simply argue there is a creator. 1991 01:41:32,820 --> 01:41:34,556 If that's the case, then we're creatures. 1992 01:41:34,722 --> 01:41:36,524 And what better place for the creature 1993 01:41:36,691 --> 01:41:38,326 than in a relationship with the creator? 1994 01:41:38,493 --> 01:41:40,695 The creator made that possible by Himself 1995 01:41:40,862 --> 01:41:43,165 going through all the things that we go through, 1996 01:41:43,331 --> 01:41:44,999 but ultimately dying in our place 1997 01:41:45,167 --> 01:41:47,034 because that's what our sin deserved. 1998 01:41:47,202 --> 01:41:49,537 Jesus Himself said, in John 14:6, He said, 1999 01:41:49,704 --> 01:41:52,774 "I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life, 2000 01:41:52,974 --> 01:41:56,077 and no one comes to the Father except through Me." 2001 01:41:56,244 --> 01:42:00,782 So if we come to the one who is God in the flesh, 2002 01:42:00,982 --> 01:42:02,917 the one who came to provide redemption for us 2003 01:42:03,084 --> 01:42:05,387 and we trust Him and take Him at His word, 2004 01:42:05,553 --> 01:42:07,088 He says, "I will save you. 2005 01:42:07,255 --> 01:42:09,291 That's the way to God, and I'm the way. 2006 01:42:09,491 --> 01:42:13,127 Come to me and you have all that was promised in the Bible, 2007 01:42:13,328 --> 01:42:16,931 eternal life, a relationship with God." 2008 01:42:17,098 --> 01:42:19,934 And everything that beyond what we can even imagine 2009 01:42:20,101 --> 01:42:21,203 in this life, 2010 01:42:21,369 --> 01:42:22,970 there's a whole life yet to come 2011 01:42:23,171 --> 01:42:25,106 that God has promised to those who love Him. 2012 01:42:27,409 --> 01:42:30,212 [stirring music] 2013 01:42:33,014 --> 01:42:35,149 [narrator] 2,000 years ago, 2014 01:42:35,350 --> 01:42:39,153 God the Father sent His Son to the world 2015 01:42:39,354 --> 01:42:42,089 to usher in a new era 2016 01:42:42,257 --> 01:42:44,959 of righteousness and peace. 2017 01:42:46,428 --> 01:42:48,963 But they rejected the true Messiah. 2018 01:42:49,964 --> 01:42:52,133 They hated the very one 2019 01:42:52,300 --> 01:42:54,469 whom the Bible says 2020 01:42:54,636 --> 01:42:55,837 created love, 2021 01:42:57,639 --> 01:42:58,506 joy, 2022 01:42:59,407 --> 01:43:00,675 beauty, 2023 01:43:01,776 --> 01:43:03,144 and life itself. 2024 01:43:05,213 --> 01:43:07,949 They took and crucified Him 2025 01:43:08,115 --> 01:43:12,654 in the very place He was to establish His glorious kingdom. 2026 01:43:13,888 --> 01:43:16,023 But God the Father 2027 01:43:16,224 --> 01:43:18,760 raised Him from the dead 2028 01:43:18,926 --> 01:43:21,128 and made His sacrifice 2029 01:43:21,296 --> 01:43:23,265 the salvation for many. 2030 01:43:23,431 --> 01:43:25,300 For Jesus Christ 2031 01:43:25,467 --> 01:43:27,269 is the light of the world, 2032 01:43:28,603 --> 01:43:30,037 and in Him 2033 01:43:30,238 --> 01:43:31,339 is no darkness. 2034 01:43:31,506 --> 01:43:34,309 [stirring music] 2035 01:43:42,284 --> 01:43:45,019 [pensive music] 2036 01:43:52,694 --> 01:43:55,397 [pensive music] 2037 01:45:02,497 --> 01:45:06,634 [music continues]
