¤ ¤ 00:00:04.40\00:00:24.02 Welcome to Heavens Declare. My name is Jim Burr and we're 00:00:24.05\00:00:28.32 continuing on with the Heavens Declare the glory of God. Boy 00:00:28.36\00:00:32.63 they sure do. And the Hubble telescope really helps us. 00:00:32.66\00:00:37.87 Today we're going to talk about the Cassini spacecraft. 00:00:37.93\00:00:43.10 The Cassini, dedicated to observing Saturn, that 00:00:43.14\00:00:47.68 beautiful planet, Saturn, with rings that go up 170,000 miles. 00:00:47.71\00:00:52.31 You know, if you put the earth on one side it would like almost 00:00:52.35\00:00:56.89 reach to the moon. Those beautiful rings which are 00:00:56.92\00:01:00.12 170,000 miles wide but very, very thin. We'll get a chance to 00:01:00.16\00:01:04.76 show you how thin they are. Boy it's the most spectacular site 00:01:04.79\00:01:09.23 that thrills amateurs when they get their first look at the 00:01:09.26\00:01:13.40 rings of Saturn through a telescope. It's amazing just to 00:01:13.44\00:01:18.01 hear people oooh and ah the first time they see the rings of 00:01:18.04\00:01:23.31 Saturn. Well so we have a spacecraft to investigate Saturn 00:01:23.35\00:01:27.85 it's called the Cassini space craft and it's like a school bus 00:01:27.88\00:01:33.15 It weighs 12 tons, a big, heavy spacecraft. We do not have a big 00:01:33.19\00:01:38.39 enough rocket on earth to get the Cassini school bus off a 00:01:38.43\00:01:43.77 billion miles to Saturn. It has to go a billion miles to get 00:01:43.80\00:01:47.64 there. But we get it off the ground, it has to leave earth 00:01:47.67\00:01:51.34 to escape the velocity of the earth, about 25,000 miles. 00:01:51.37\00:01:54.88 So they get it up, they get it out of earth, and they aim it 00:01:54.91\00:01:58.65 towards Venus. Now the Cassini spacecraft is falling towards 00:01:58.68\00:02:02.55 Venus, picking up gravity. Venus picks it up faster and faster 00:02:02.58\00:02:06.15 and faster. The first time it leaves earth about approximately 00:02:06.19\00:02:10.36 25,000 miles an hour. It goes around Venus at 70,000 miles an 00:02:10.39\00:02:14.46 hour. It's falling towards Venus you know, picking up speed. But 00:02:14.50\00:02:18.57 it misses Venus and it hits 70,000 miles an hour. Now it 00:02:18.60\00:02:26.07 didn't crash into Venus. You know for something to crash 00:02:26.11\00:02:31.48 into like earth it's a pretty critical angle. They tend to 00:02:31.51\00:02:36.85 glance off, bounce off. In other words, an asteroid coming past 00:02:36.89\00:02:42.19 earth is greatly affected by the gravity of earth. We get several 00:02:42.22\00:02:47.53 a year of these asteroids that come very close to us, but it 00:02:47.56\00:02:51.67 isn't very often that we actually get a big one. In fact, 00:02:51.70\00:02:55.50 just in 2016 somebody was already killed in India with an 00:02:55.54\00:02:59.27 asteroid that hit. So when you think of the mathematics that's 00:02:59.31\00:03:04.61 involved in setting a space craft, getting it out of earth's 00:03:04.68\00:03:08.72 orbit, going to Venue, missing Venus, but picking up 77,000 00:03:08.75\00:03:13.46 miles an hour. And then, because we don't have a big enough 00:03:13.49\00:03:17.76 rocket to get this school bus, 12 tons, to Saturn, a billion 00:03:17.79\00:03:21.30 miles away, they aim it back at earth. So now it's coming back 00:03:21.33\00:03:25.53 at earth. Again the mathematics involved would blow me away. 00:03:25.60\00:03:29.74 And it whips around earth and picks up speed again. Then they 00:03:29.77\00:03:34.31 shoot it back to Venus. So twice it's going around Venus. 00:03:34.34\00:03:38.81 And after that trip around Venus then they shoot it out in space 00:03:38.85\00:03:41.82 and it uses the gravity assist of Jupiter. Now Jupiter is a 00:03:41.85\00:03:46.29 half a billion miles away. And so it picks up speed as it goes 00:03:46.32\00:03:51.23 around Jupiter. It still takes us seven years to get to Saturn. 00:03:51.29\00:03:56.16 Now if you're doing the math you're wondering what's going 00:03:56.20\00:03:58.73 on, this doesn't sound correct. Actually I need to explain 00:03:58.77\00:04:01.24 something, because as we hit the first trip around Venus we hit 00:04:01.30\00:04:06.51 77,000 miles an hour, but it could not keep that speed. 00:04:06.54\00:04:08.88 Like if you were riding your bicycle down a hill and you hit 00:04:08.91\00:04:12.15 77,000 miles an hour at the bottom of the hill, the gravity 00:04:12.18\00:04:16.08 as you're leaving is going to slow you down again. But what it 00:04:16.12\00:04:19.99 does, it picks up speed with respect to the sun. 00:04:20.02\00:04:22.89 An illustration would be a guy with a discus. You know, a 00:04:22.92\00:04:27.16 discus thrower spins around but his body is also moving isn't 00:04:27.20\00:04:31.40 it? So he has a centrifugal motion, but his body has two 00:04:31.43\00:04:35.74 motions there. So the same is true firing the Cassini space 00:04:35.77\00:04:40.94 craft to Saturn. It gains speed with respect to the sun 00:04:40.98\00:04:45.31 although it didn't keep the 77,000. It lost most of that. 00:04:45.38\00:04:49.68 But it did pick up speed because of the centrifugal motion and 00:04:49.72\00:04:55.99 the rotation of the planet. So we get to Saturn in seven years. 00:04:56.02\00:05:01.36 In that process we saved 75 tons of rocket fuel. It would have 00:05:01.40\00:05:06.77 taken 75 tons of rocket fuel to get this 12-ton spacecraft to 00:05:06.80\00:05:12.14 Saturn directly with using gravity assist. So gravity 00:05:12.17\00:05:14.84 assist really worked 00:05:14.88\00:05:16.91 even though it takes more time, it's a slower process because we 00:05:16.95\00:05:20.75 have to go to Venus, go to earth go to Venue, go out to Jupiter 00:05:20.82\00:05:24.65 and then go to Saturn in seven years. Now the amazing thing... 00:05:24.69\00:05:27.89 I want to show you a picture of Saturn. They've got that queued 00:05:27.92\00:05:31.09 up back there. It is really amazing to see where they flew 00:05:31.13\00:05:35.63 that space craft through the rings, the F and the G ring. 00:05:35.66\00:05:41.00 The outer rings are the F and the G rings. It's a 2500-mile 00:05:41.04\00:05:45.64 window where that arrow is. A 2500-mile window; they hit 00:05:45.67\00:05:49.74 that right in the middle accurately from a billion miles 00:05:49.78\00:05:53.95 away. Now that's an amazing fete of mathematics to go a 00:05:53.98\00:05:58.09 billion miles and hit a window of 2500 miles. But they did it. 00:05:58.12\00:06:03.73 And when they arrived there at the F and the G ring then they 00:06:03.76\00:06:09.76 flipped the Cassini around. They fired the rockets then as it 00:06:09.80\00:06:14.40 went through that window and in the process of firing the 00:06:14.47\00:06:18.47 rockets now it slowed the space craft down so you know what 00:06:18.51\00:06:22.11 happened? It picked up the orbit of Saturn. The very first time 00:06:22.14\00:06:27.32 around Saturn they had the Huygens lander jettisoned off of 00:06:27.35\00:06:32.45 the Cassini and it had parachutes and had lights on it 00:06:32.49\00:06:36.29 and they landed on Titan, the moon Titan. They came down with 00:06:36.32\00:06:41.00 parachutes and because of the dense atmosphere there they 00:06:41.03\00:06:44.87 they turned on lights so they could photograph the surface of 00:06:44.90\00:06:49.00 Titan. Cassini continued on around to orbit around Saturn. 00:06:49.04\00:06:52.81 The reason they're looking there they think there's a lot of 00:06:52.84\00:06:56.78 methane gas on Titan and they think that life could have 00:06:56.81\00:07:00.65 arisen on earth with methane, ammonia and hydrogen. We've got 00:07:00.72\00:07:06.19 200 of these spacecraft in our solar system and most of them 00:07:06.22\00:07:12.23 are looking for life. How did it come about, how did evolution 00:07:12.26\00:07:18.23 happen? You read that most of these people believe in 00:07:18.27\00:07:21.90 evolution. That's their whole goal is to try to find some 00:07:21.94\00:07:25.27 evidence. Will they find evidence out there? Well they're 00:07:25.31\00:07:29.28 looking on Mars. You remember in, I think, it was 1986 they 00:07:29.31\00:07:35.62 found polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on Mars and oh I 00:07:35.65\00:07:41.89 think maybe this is going to be evidence there was life on Mars 00:07:41.92\00:07:45.83 Well that's pretty much been debunked, the theory that they 00:07:45.86\00:07:49.86 found something. What is interesting, Mars is downwind. 00:07:49.90\00:07:53.84 We have Mercury, Venus, Earth and then we have Mars. Mars is 00:07:53.87\00:07:57.71 downwind from our earth and we have the solar wind, charged 00:07:57.74\00:08:02.08 particles from the sun, the solar wind is traveling and it's 00:08:02.14\00:08:05.58 possible there are something like 200 micro-organisms that 00:08:05.61\00:08:08.98 are in our upper atmosphere that could actually ride on the solar 00:08:09.05\00:08:13.19 wind and contaminate Mars. So there's a possibility that we've 00:08:13.22\00:08:16.52 done some contamination there and of course the spacecraft 00:08:16.56\00:08:19.86 they send they try to purify them so that there's no 00:08:19.89\00:08:23.23 contamination when they go. But this whole space program is 00:08:23.26\00:08:27.50 geared around trying to find life like on earth. Now I'd like 00:08:27.54\00:08:30.74 to go back to that picture of Saturn because there's something 00:08:30.77\00:08:34.58 really amazing where that arrow is. You'll see a little tiny 00:08:34.61\00:08:37.91 speck. Hopefully you've got a big enough screen. You can see 00:08:37.95\00:08:42.22 a little tiny speck there and that is earth from one billion 00:08:42.25\00:08:46.76 miles away. You see the arrow? Can you see the little speck 00:08:46.82\00:08:50.83 right in front of that? That is earth folks. That's earth from 00:08:50.86\00:08:54.06 a billion miles away. Now this picture was taken when the sun 00:08:54.10\00:08:57.37 was in the middle right behind Saturn. So Cassini is going 00:08:57.40\00:09:00.90 around; the sun is right behind it and we see the glowing. You 00:09:00.94\00:09:04.94 see the sun rays there in the bottom of the picture. So we 00:09:04.97\00:09:07.78 have the sun in the center, we have Mercury going around the 00:09:07.81\00:09:10.91 sun, Venus going around the sun, and earth going around the sun, 00:09:10.95\00:09:13.98 and they caught earth in that little window from a billion 00:09:14.02\00:09:18.22 miles away and you're on it. Were you smiling when they took 00:09:18.25\00:09:22.32 your picture? OK. That is earth from one billion miles away. 00:09:22.36\00:09:29.43 As I see that picture so many scriptures come to mind. God 00:09:29.46\00:09:35.07 showed Ellen White in vision many things. She had traveled 00:09:35.10\00:09:40.68 to Australia on a ship. In those days, of course, they 00:09:40.71\00:09:45.58 wouldn't have had planes that would fly across. If you can 00:09:45.61\00:09:49.45 imagine being on a ship for three weeks. Can you imagine 00:09:49.48\00:09:53.29 sunrise, sunset, three weeks you're out there. All you see is 00:09:53.32\00:09:56.73 ocean for three weeks. Would you think the earth was small. You'd 00:09:56.76\00:10:00.03 think it was pretty big. In fact when I fly back from Australia 00:10:00.10\00:10:05.97 you look at those wings out there on those jets for 14 hours 00:10:06.00\00:10:10.31 just thundering away. You look down. All you see is ocean. 00:10:10.34\00:10:14.38 Earth doesn't look very small. But in that picture you saw, 00:10:14.41\00:10:18.98 this little, tiny speck. Even though it wouldn't have been 00:10:19.01\00:10:23.35 apparent to her... or we didn't know how our earth would look 00:10:23.39\00:10:26.96 from a billion miles away or how big the universe was or how big 00:10:26.99\00:10:30.53 the stars were. We didn't know how big our sun was in those 00:10:30.56\00:10:33.40 days compared to the earth. She says: Behold Him who numbers the 00:10:33.43\00:10:40.27 stars and created the worlds of which this earth is but a 00:10:40.30\00:10:44.47 small speck. She said in the 1800s that this earth is but a 00:10:44.51\00:10:49.14 small speck... and would scarcely be missed more than a 00:10:49.18\00:10:53.75 tiny leaf in the forest. I was raised in Minnesota. You know, 00:10:53.82\00:10:57.32 we have all these trees in Minnesota and in the fall they 00:10:57.35\00:11:00.79 drop their leaves and when you walk through the forest there's 00:11:00.82\00:11:04.99 six inches of leaves that you crunch down every step you take. 00:11:05.03\00:11:09.90 Would you miss one of those leaves? And she says this earth 00:11:09.93\00:11:15.17 would scarcely be missed more than a tiny leaf from the forest 00:11:15.20\00:11:20.38 I think she saw the big picture didn't she? So we've been 00:11:20.41\00:11:27.08 talking about the attributes of God and another statement from 00:11:27.12\00:11:31.19 Desire of Ages. She says that... 00:11:31.22\00:11:32.75 So she saw these other planets. Keppler has taken us another 00:11:48.54\00:11:52.61 hundred and some years to discover 3000 planets. And by 00:11:52.64\00:11:56.24 the way, we have a very hard time discovering planets. 00:11:56.28\00:12:00.08 We have only actually seen one or two planets. We actually 00:12:00.12\00:12:03.85 discover planets because they go in front of the star and we see 00:12:03.89\00:12:09.12 the star dim. So repeatedly we see them dim. Boy I don't think 00:12:09.16\00:12:14.23 we brought those pictures along. But I have a picture of one of 00:12:14.26\00:12:19.30 the planets that has been actually imaged. We really can't 00:12:19.33\00:12:23.61 image planets. We see gravitational affects, we see 00:12:23.64\00:12:27.14 light dimming. The planet is going in front of the star 00:12:27.18\00:12:30.65 pulling the star towards us. We can measure the Doppler shift of 00:12:30.68\00:12:35.18 a star moving. Like I said, Jupiter moves our sun 500,000 00:12:35.22\00:12:39.05 miles and through that Doppler shift we can sense that a star 00:12:39.09\00:12:43.79 is moving towards us and away from us. Planets going around 00:12:43.83\00:12:48.00 this way around the star, we'll see the star oscillate sort of 00:12:48.03\00:12:52.57 in a sine wave, but mostly we find planets by their dimming 00:12:52.60\00:12:57.14 affect as they go in front of the star. She had that vision. 00:12:57.17\00:13:00.98 She said in this little world under the curse of sin, this is 00:13:01.01\00:13:05.68 the one dark spot in the glorious creation and it will be 00:13:05.71\00:13:09.55 honored above all others in the universe. And we've been 00:13:09.58\00:13:14.52 showing you pictures of this incredible universe. It goes on 00:13:14.56\00:13:18.73 here from second testimonies. In this speck of a world the 00:13:18.76\00:13:23.26 whole heavenly universe manifests the greatest interest 00:13:23.30\00:13:28.20 for Christ has paid an infinite price for the souls of its 00:13:28.24\00:13:34.34 inhabitants. So there's a lot in that picture. One of the 00:13:34.41\00:13:40.45 attributes of God is his justice Another statement... She says: 00:13:40.48\00:13:53.90 He has been exerting a restraining power over His 00:13:53.93\00:14:04.84 attributes. One of his attributes is his justice... 00:14:04.87\00:14:15.72 So he might just wipe this out and be done with sin but what 00:14:15.75\00:14:21.09 would happen, what would the angels say? You see we've talked 00:14:21.12\00:14:25.73 in a previous program about the court room scene where in this 00:14:25.76\00:14:29.50 earth God is on trial here. We see how terrible the devil is, 00:14:29.53\00:14:32.57 all the things he has caused. We see all the goodness of God 00:14:32.63\00:14:35.90 because the universe has to make a decision, the angels, the 00:14:35.97\00:14:41.88 people. Are you going to decide for God or against God? There's 00:14:41.91\00:14:46.28 another statement along this same line. Well: The Omnipotent 00:14:46.31\00:14:50.65 one has been exerting a restraining power over his 00:14:50.69\00:14:54.06 attributes but he will certainly arise to punish the wicked ones 00:14:54.09\00:14:58.83 who so boldly defy the just claims of the Decalogue. Then 00:14:58.86\00:15:04.70 another one from Desire of Ages: 00:15:04.73\00:15:15.04 Is there hatred for God? I'll tell you that is for sure. The 00:15:15.08\00:15:18.81 hatred that we see in this world today for Christianity is just 00:15:18.88\00:15:23.22 ballooning, exploding and is just so amazing. But we're also 00:15:23.25\00:15:27.56 told in Exodus 34:7 that he keeps loving kindness for 00:15:27.59\00:15:32.16 thousands, he forgives iniquity, transgression and sin, yet he 00:15:32.19\00:15:39.97 will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. Exodus 34:7. 00:15:40.04\00:15:47.74 So God is both just and merciful. Heaven would be a 00:15:47.78\00:15:50.35 place of torture. In America, we're a Christian nation, 00:15:50.41\00:15:53.55 everybody going to heaven, right? If everybody went to 00:15:53.58\00:15:56.65 heaven it wouldn't be heaven folks. Those that love the world 00:15:56.69\00:16:03.12 those that love the violation of God's law, heaven would be a 00:16:03.16\00:16:09.56 torture. Those who love the world, those Christians who 00:16:09.60\00:16:13.10 can't get through a weekend without a Hollywood blockbuster 00:16:13.13\00:16:17.44 movie, folks, I'm afraid you would not enjoy the holiness of 00:16:17.47\00:16:20.91 heaven. The holiness of heaven where the angels cover their 00:16:20.94\00:16:24.65 faces when they speak God's name How can you watch a movie that 00:16:24.68\00:16:28.35 has cursing and swearing in it when the angels who never 00:16:28.38\00:16:32.39 sinned, the angels cover their face when they speak God's name, 00:16:32.45\00:16:36.36 how could a Christian watch this Hollywood stuff. And the blood 00:16:36.39\00:16:40.13 shed and the murder. I'm afraid that there are Christians who 00:16:40.16\00:16:43.80 who can't get through the week end without a blockbuster movie, 00:16:43.83\00:16:47.44 they will not enjoy heaven. It would be a torture to them. 00:16:47.47\00:16:49.50 So continuing on with our little planet earth, there in Saturn's 00:16:49.54\00:16:57.25 rings, the Bible talks about the 90 and nine. If a man holds a 00:16:57.28\00:17:03.22 hundred sheep and one of them wanders away, will he not leave 00:17:03.25\00:17:07.79 the 90 and nine on the hill and go and look for the one that 00:17:07.82\00:17:12.29 wandered off. Matthew 18:12. Yes this earth is the one lost sheep 00:17:12.33\00:17:19.23 and we're told Jesus left the 99 worlds for this world, for 00:17:19.27\00:17:25.87 this one. This world is one lost sheep. Jesus considered heaven a 00:17:25.91\00:17:32.25 place not to be desired while you and I were lost. Well when I 00:17:32.28\00:17:38.95 see that little speck of earth there, I'm reminded of many 00:17:38.99\00:17:44.09 things. This little tiny earth from a billion miles away and I 00:17:44.13\00:17:49.16 remember that Satan tempted Jesus and he said you know if 00:17:49.20\00:17:53.77 you will bow down and worship me I will give you all this power. 00:17:53.80\00:17:58.17 It's mine to give. Jesus said all power is given me in heaven 00:17:58.24\00:18:01.64 and earth. When you look at that little tiny speck... Maybe 00:18:01.68\00:18:05.31 we can go back to that picture once again and let you see earth 00:18:05.35\00:18:08.35 from a billion miles away. When Satan said I'll give you all the 00:18:08.38\00:18:11.35 power, all the glory of the earth, it's mine to give, I 00:18:11.39\00:18:14.62 don't think Jesus was impressed. Another thought that comes to my 00:18:14.66\00:18:17.76 mind when I see that is Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel 4-he is 00:18:17.79\00:18:24.93 walking on the palace, he's got his thumbs in his suspenders I 00:18:25.00\00:18:28.90 suppose he has suspenders and he's like isn't this a great 00:18:28.94\00:18:32.94 Babylon I have built by my mighty power for the glory of my 00:18:32.97\00:18:36.95 majesty. I'd like to take Nebuchadnezzar in the 00:18:36.98\00:18:41.38 Cassini spacecraft and give him a pair of binoculars and then 00:18:41.42\00:18:45.55 Nebuchadnezzar would go, where, where is this great Babylon I 00:18:45.59\00:18:48.96 have built? You see it's a matter of perspective, isn't it? 00:18:48.99\00:18:53.46 I'm sure you've all heard it said that 15 minutes of fame. 00:18:53.50\00:18:58.33 Your life is complete if you can have 15 minutes of fame. 00:18:58.40\00:19:03.17 You can get on television for 15 minutes or something, your life 00:19:03.20\00:19:06.84 is complete. On this little speck, this little speck of an 00:19:06.88\00:19:11.35 earth that you saw your life would be complete. You want 00:19:11.38\00:19:15.75 fame. In Luke 15 you want joy in heaven, here's what it says 00:19:15.78\00:19:21.29 in Luke 15 verse 10: I say unto you there is joy in the presence 00:19:21.32\00:19:26.80 of God over one sinner that repenteth. So if you want to 00:19:26.83\00:19:31.97 have fame... We all have to repent don't we on a daily basis 00:19:32.03\00:19:38.04 Repentance. Joy in heaven in the presence of the angels of God 00:19:38.07\00:19:43.75 over one sinner that repents. And if we look at Luke 15 verse 00:19:43.78\00:19:50.25 seven it says I tell you that in the same way there will be 00:19:50.29\00:19:55.62 more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 00:19:55.66\00:20:02.13 the 90 and nine righteous who do not need to repent. OK. And 00:20:02.16\00:20:07.70 that's the story of the 90 and nine. There were 90 and nine 00:20:07.74\00:20:13.24 that were safe and there was one that was lost. In Psalm 8 verse 00:20:13.27\00:20:18.55 three it says when I consider the heavens, the works of thy 00:20:18.58\00:20:23.69 hands, what is man that Thou art mindful of him? In Heavenly 00:20:23.72\00:20:28.79 Places there's another statement 00:20:28.82\00:20:41.70 What a God we see. I just get blown away the more I learn, 00:20:41.74\00:20:47.38 whether I'm looking at the genetic code that tells your 00:20:47.41\00:20:52.95 how to make you, the recipe for you. That just blows me away to 00:20:53.01\00:20:58.55 think that there is spell checking in every letter code 00:20:58.59\00:21:02.82 in your body, six billion letters that make you. 00:21:02.86\00:21:07.03 And these letters are, they say, four dimensional. You could take 00:21:07.10\00:21:11.17 a string of letters or a couple rows of letters and there are 00:21:11.20\00:21:16.77 instructions there of where the messenger RNA that copies the 00:21:16.81\00:21:20.68 code, where it's supposed to start and where it's supposed 00:21:20.71\00:21:25.01 to stop, and it can have two messages in one line or in one 00:21:25.05\00:21:29.25 segment and one of the messages can say you're going to make the 00:21:29.28\00:21:33.15 eyeballs, you're going to make the teeth, you're going to make 00:21:33.19\00:21:36.83 the ears, you're going to make the brain. It's as if you read a 00:21:36.86\00:21:40.46 code and it said in the beginning God created 00:21:40.50\00:21:42.76 heaven and earth. But we're found there's more languages, 00:21:42.83\00:21:47.57 there are two languages in the DNA code and reading in a 00:21:47.64\00:21:51.71 different language it said Jack and Jill went up the hill to 00:21:51.77\00:21:55.81 fetch a pail of water. It is so unbelievable that the complexity 00:21:55.84\00:21:59.71 of this code that can tell every cell in your body what to make 00:21:59.78\00:22:03.49 and every cell has to read that. Can you read that. I can't read 00:22:03.52\00:22:07.19 it? I can't read it. Nobody can read it. We've spent three 00:22:07.22\00:22:10.16 billion dollars to read the genetic code of the human 00:22:10.19\00:22:14.46 genome, three billion dollars. And thousands of scientists and 00:22:14.53\00:22:18.53 hundreds of labs were on a crash course to see who could be the 00:22:18.57\00:22:22.50 first to complete it. The more they study, the more they learn, 00:22:22.54\00:22:26.14 and now they're talking about epigenetics. You see we're going 00:22:26.17\00:22:30.55 downhill. Every child born has a hundred mutations in their 00:22:30.58\00:22:35.02 body, in this copying process, 100 mutations, not found in 00:22:35.08\00:22:38.89 either parent. Dr. John Sanford was an evolutionist, didn't 00:22:38.92\00:22:42.16 believe in God, but he started looking at that and started 00:22:42.19\00:22:45.43 putting the gene pool back together and he discovered 00:22:45.46\00:22:48.43 when he gets back to Adam he had a perfect gene pool. He became a 00:22:48.46\00:22:51.87 Christian putting the gene pool back together. Evolution says 00:22:51.90\00:22:54.64 we're mutating upward, we're getting better and better all 00:22:54.67\00:22:57.97 the time, we're mutating, mistakes that add information 00:22:58.01\00:23:01.28 and through 00:23:01.34\00:23:02.68 natural selection we're improving. Dr. John Sanford 00:23:02.71\00:23:07.35 putting that back together said No, you know what, we didn't 00:23:07.38\00:23:10.99 come from a monkey. You see the gene pool diverses over time. 00:23:11.02\00:23:14.42 If you ever were a person with a shotgun you know that the bee 00:23:14.46\00:23:17.66 bees come out of a shotgun in a circle like this but the farther 00:23:17.69\00:23:20.80 they go the more they disperse. The same thing is true with the 00:23:20.83\00:23:24.57 gene pool. When we go back in history, you see they can follow 00:23:24.60\00:23:27.40 it back right to the flood and they say there was a bottle neck 00:23:27.44\00:23:30.87 at the time of the flood because we look at the dispersion of the 00:23:30.91\00:23:34.98 gene pool and the evolution says oh yeah they had one too. They 00:23:35.01\00:23:39.05 had a bottle neck. When they came out of Africa boy almost 00:23:39.08\00:23:41.42 everybody died off, just a few people were left and there was a 00:23:41.48\00:23:45.45 bottle neck in the gene pool there coming out of Africa. But 00:23:45.49\00:23:49.66 we can go right back to Eve actually, follow the gene pool 00:23:49.69\00:23:55.43 back to Eve. So it's an incredible, incredible plan that 00:23:55.46\00:24:01.14 the Lord has to reproduce man. It's been said the genetic code 00:24:01.17\00:24:06.37 is the language of God. Yes, God wrote a message of you never 00:24:06.41\00:24:11.61 before seen in the history of the universe through that 00:24:11.65\00:24:14.42 genetic code. Every one of you has different finger prints. How 00:24:14.45\00:24:18.35 could that be? All that information to make your 00:24:18.39\00:24:21.49 finger prints and every one of them are different. What a God 00:24:21.52\00:24:25.73 we worship. I'll tell you, you need to study into that and get 00:24:25.76\00:24:29.36 our early programs. You may want to order this series. It's going 00:24:29.40\00:24:33.00 to be probably about 20, about six months' worth of shows, 00:24:33.03\00:24:36.50 probably about 24 or 26 programs You may just want to get them 00:24:36.57\00:24:40.18 from 3ABN and share them with your friends because we went 00:24:40.21\00:24:43.75 into a lot of that back some of the earlier programs. But there 00:24:43.78\00:24:50.45 is a statement... Would you be interested in a statement if I 00:24:50.49\00:24:55.82 told you how you could never perish, how you could for sure 00:24:55.86\00:25:01.16 be saved? There is a statement that I thought was just 00:25:01.20\00:25:06.60 fantastic and it is from Desire of Ages and it says... 00:25:06.63\00:25:12.01 I have a friend back in Virginia Beach, Virginia, he's a customer 00:25:47.38\00:25:51.05 of ours, a Christian who bought actually our big binocular 00:25:51.08\00:25:54.85 telescopes and we're talking big bucks, like the biggest one was 00:25:54.88\00:25:59.62 $14,000 that he bought. He started with a six-inch one. 00:25:59.65\00:26:01.82 Then he got a 10-inch one, then he got a 14-inch one. He said, 00:26:01.86\00:26:05.13 Ah, I see the heavens with both eyes like I've never seen them 00:26:05.16\00:26:09.20 before. But he said the Lord has given me a witnessing tool. When 00:26:09.26\00:26:12.80 I'm witnessing to people I often ask them, has your video been 00:26:12.83\00:26:16.37 to the editing room? And of course they say, what do you 00:26:16.40\00:26:20.01 mean, video? And he says well you know the Lord is making a 00:26:20.04\00:26:23.35 video of everything in your life everything you ever did, 00:26:23.38\00:26:26.75 everything you ever said, every thought you ever had and he's 00:26:26.82\00:26:29.48 going to play that back. The Bible says we all shall stand 00:26:29.52\00:26:32.42 before the judgment seat of Christ. You're going to have to 00:26:32.45\00:26:35.86 stand and watch that video. Do you want to see that video? Or 00:26:35.89\00:26:39.79 do you want it edited? He says, if you accept Jesus he will edit 00:26:39.86\00:26:44.47 that video so you don't have to watch the bad parts. Now that's 00:26:44.50\00:26:49.80 encouraging and he said you know that God gave him that way of 00:26:49.84\00:26:55.11 witnessing so that he could witness to others. 00:26:55.14\00:26:56.91 Well thank you for watching. 00:26:56.95\00:26:58.45 We want to encourage you again to tune us in on Heavens Declare 00:26:58.48\00:27:01.98 Thank you 00:27:02.02\00:27:03.35
