It has stood the test of time.
00:00:07.03\00:00:09.13
God4s book, the Bible.
00:00:11.90\00:00:16.46
Still relevant in
today4s complex world.
00:00:16.46\00:00:24.40
It Is Written,
sharing hope around the globe.
00:00:24.40\00:00:34.96
Thanks for joining me
today on It Is Written.
00:00:34.96\00:00:38.53
I4m John Bradshaw.
00:00:38.53\00:00:40.16
To hear some people tell
the story, if you believe that
00:00:40.16\00:00:42.93
God created the earth, then
you4re out of touch, stuck in
00:00:42.93\00:00:47.40
the past, ignorant of
science and backwards thinking.
00:00:47.40\00:00:52.00
Which would mean, of course,
that the Bible cannot then be
00:00:52.00\00:00:55.16
trusted.
00:00:55.16\00:00:56.16
Its opening words say that
God created the earth and the
00:00:56.16\00:01:00.33
opening chapter says
he did it in six days.
00:01:00.33\00:01:03.53
It would also mean that
Jesus was out of touch, stuck in
00:01:03.53\00:01:07.43
the past, ignorant of
science, and backwards
00:01:07.43\00:01:10.40
thinking.
00:01:10.40\00:01:11.43
After all, Jesus
believed the creation story.
00:01:11.43\00:01:16.20
He said in Mark 10:6,
from the beginning of the
00:01:16.20\00:01:19.80
creation, God made
them male and female.
00:01:19.80\00:01:24.36
Jesus believed that God
made Adam and Eve, plain and
00:01:24.36\00:01:27.03
simple.
00:01:27.03\00:01:28.03
And he believed that God
made the Sabbath day, which was
00:01:28.03\00:01:31.73
given on the 7th day
of the creation week.
00:01:31.73\00:01:34.43
Jesus said in Mark 2:27,
"The Sabbath was made for man."
00:01:34.43\00:01:40.16
Made.
00:01:40.16\00:01:41.36
In the beginning,
when God created the earth.
00:01:41.36\00:01:45.00
John 1:3 says, "All
things were made by him."
00:01:45.00\00:01:50.16
While in Mark 13:19, Jesus
referred to "the beginning of
00:01:50.16\00:01:54.36
the creation which God created."
00:01:54.36\00:01:57.90
In the Bible, Paul
wrote about creation.
00:01:57.90\00:02:01.33
Peter wrote about creation.
00:02:01.33\00:02:03.46
John wrote about creation.
00:02:03.46\00:02:06.26
But a lot of people today
do not believe that God created
00:02:06.26\00:02:10.23
the world.
00:02:10.23\00:02:11.63
Now, let's ask
ourselves why that might be.
00:02:11.63\00:02:14.53
Is it because
evolutionists are fools?
00:02:14.53\00:02:18.63
Well, I don't
think that's the reason.
00:02:18.63\00:02:21.06
A lot of brilliant,
well-educated people rejected
00:02:21.06\00:02:23.43
the Bible account of creation.
00:02:23.43\00:02:25.43
In fact, many evolutionists
ask important questions about
00:02:25.43\00:02:28.73
origins that demand answers.
00:02:28.73\00:02:31.36
So, how is it that the Bible
can say the earth is young,
00:02:31.36\00:02:34.83
just thousands of years
old, and a respected scientist
00:02:34.83\00:02:38.23
relying on accepted
scientific principles and
00:02:38.23\00:02:40.63
practices, would say that
the Bible is wrong and not just
00:02:40.63\00:02:44.26
wrong, but wrong by
millions and millions of years.
00:02:44.26\00:02:49.63
Can intelligent thinking
people be scientifically
00:02:49.63\00:02:52.60
accurate while still
believing what the Bible says
00:02:52.60\00:02:56.26
on the subject of creation?
00:02:56.26\00:02:58.33
To find out, I visited the
creation museum in Northern
00:02:58.33\00:03:01.03
Kentucky.
00:03:01.03\00:03:02.06
A stone's throw
from Cincinnati, Ohio.
00:03:02.06\00:03:04.76
The museum covers an area of
70K sq ft, a little less than
00:03:04.76\00:03:08.63
two acres, comfortably bigger
than a football field, and
00:03:08.63\00:03:11.86
it's dedicated to
promoting the Biblical view of
00:03:11.86\00:03:14.20
creation.
00:03:14.20\00:03:15.53
I spoke with Creation Museum
president, Australian, Ken
00:03:15.53\00:03:19.23
Ham.
00:03:19.23\00:03:20.23
And I started by asking him
about theistic evolution, the
00:03:20.23\00:03:24.80
idea that evolution is a
process used by God to effect
00:03:24.80\00:03:29.13
creation.
00:03:29.13\00:03:30.06
KH: Within the church, and
you know there are different
00:03:30.06\00:03:32.73
denominations, and so on,
you will also find, as you know.
00:03:32.73\00:03:36.53
different views of
eschatology dealing with end
00:03:36.53\00:03:39.56
times, different views
even of baptism and different
00:03:39.56\00:03:43.50
views of other issues.
00:03:43.50\00:03:45.63
By and large, when you are
arguing about such things as
00:03:45.63\00:03:51.00
eschatology or baptism or
whatever it is, speaking in
00:03:51.00\00:03:53.16
tongues, or you know, a
number of those different
00:03:53.16\00:03:55.36
issues, you are
arguing from the Bible.
00:03:55.36\00:03:57.36
It might be people4s view
of the church or people4s view
00:03:57.36\00:03:59.56
of Israel, or people4s
view of Daniel, or Ezekiel or
00:03:59.56\00:04:02.33
Revelation, whatever it is.
00:04:02.33\00:04:03.36
JB: Right.
00:04:03.36\00:04:04.36
KH: But you see, the reason
there are different views of
00:04:04.36\00:04:06.83
Genesis, like theistic
evolution, for instance, is
00:04:06.83\00:04:09.76
not because you are arguing
from Scripture, it's because
00:04:09.76\00:04:13.03
you are arguing
outside of scripture.
00:04:13.03\00:04:15.03
You are really taking the
secular view of the day and
00:04:15.03\00:04:17.20
you add it to the Bible in
Genesis, and then you have to
00:04:17.20\00:04:20.40
reinterpret the clear words
of Genesis, which means that
00:04:20.40\00:04:25.16
the big issue for me is
it's an authority issue.
00:04:25.16\00:04:28.50
You are unlocking a door
to say you don't have to take
00:04:28.50\00:04:30.76
this as written.
00:04:30.76\00:04:31.90
You are not using God's
word to judge man's word.
00:04:31.90\00:04:34.50
You are using man's ideas
outside of Scripture, which
00:04:34.50\00:04:36.80
you don't get from Scripture.
00:04:36.80\00:04:38.23
And then you are
forcing them onto God's Word.
00:04:38.23\00:04:41.83
For instance, the
Bible makes it clear.
00:04:41.83\00:04:44.26
God took dust and made a man.
00:04:44.26\00:04:45.86
So if you are going
to believe in theistic
00:04:45.86\00:04:48.83
evolution, you are going
to say God used evolution then
00:04:48.83\00:04:52.10
the process of some
ape-like ancestor changing into
00:04:52.10\00:04:54.76
humans, even in Matthew
19 when Jesus was quoting
00:04:54.76\00:04:57.70
Genesis when talking
about marriage, he was talking
00:04:57.70\00:05:00.40
about the one flesh, you
know, the fact that Eve came
00:05:00.40\00:05:04.03
from Adam.
00:05:04.03\00:05:05.03
See, if you are going to
believe in evolution, then
00:05:05.03\00:05:07.96
Adam came from an ape-man
and Eve came from an ape-woman.
00:05:07.96\00:05:11.60
But, the Bible makes it very
clear and Jesus himself, who
00:05:11.60\00:05:15.20
is the Word, and who is
the Son of God, Jesus, quoted
00:05:15.20\00:05:19.16
from Genesis, talking about
your one flesh, because the
00:05:19.16\00:05:22.13
woman came from the man.
00:05:22.13\00:05:23.76
She did not come
from an ape woman.
00:05:23.76\00:05:27.06
And so, really, for
theistic evolutionists, they are
00:05:27.06\00:05:29.06
really undermining Biblical
authority because they are
00:05:29.06\00:05:31.26
reinterpreting God's word
by forcing man's ideas on God's
00:05:31.26\00:05:34.23
word.
00:05:34.23\00:05:35.23
Secondly, they are really
destroying the whole basis of
00:05:35.23\00:05:37.53
marriage, if you think about
it, and of course, that all
00:05:37.53\00:05:41.16
relates too to Christ and his
relationship to the church in
00:05:41.16\00:05:44.76
the New Testament.
00:05:44.76\00:05:45.76
But there is even something
else as well, and that's
00:05:45.76\00:05:49.06
this.
00:05:49.06\00:05:50.06
All the different positions
on Genesis, they all have one
00:05:50.06\00:05:52.66
thing in common.
00:05:52.66\00:05:53.66
JB: What's that?
00:05:53.66\00:05:54.66
KH: Putting millions
of years in the Bible.
00:05:54.66\00:05:57.30
The idea of millions of years
came from atheists, Deists,
00:05:57.30\00:06:00.63
people who believed in
naturalism, who wanted to
00:06:00.63\00:06:03.26
explain life without
God, wanted to get rid of the
00:06:03.26\00:06:06.56
flood of Noah's day, and they
want to come up with a way of
00:06:06.56\00:06:11.16
explaining the world without
God and so back in the late
00:06:11.16\00:06:14.80
1700s, early 1800s, these
people postulated the idea
00:06:14.80\00:06:18.76
that the fossil layers we
see over the earth's surface,
00:06:18.76\00:06:21.90
were laid down over millions
of years, and that happened
00:06:21.90\00:06:25.36
before man.
00:06:25.36\00:06:26.53
And so you'll find that
every one of the compromised
00:06:26.53\00:06:29.10
positions is people trying
to come up with some new sort of
00:06:29.10\00:06:33.30
way or different way to
fit millions of years and/or
00:06:33.30\00:06:36.23
evolution,
sometimes, into the Bible.
00:06:36.23\00:06:40.30
And if you believe in
millions of years, here's my
00:06:40.30\00:06:42.80
challenge for people.
00:06:42.80\00:06:44.50
If you take Genesis 1:29,
30, and you read it exactly the
00:06:44.50\00:06:48.86
same way that Jesus quotes
from Genesis, then Adam and
00:06:48.86\00:06:53.40
Eve ate fruit, all
vegetarian, and the animals
00:06:53.40\00:06:57.46
were
vegetarian, they ate plants.
00:06:57.46\00:07:00.93
Now man wasn't told to
eat meat until after the flood
00:07:00.93\00:07:03.90
Genesis 9:3 when
God laid that out.
00:07:03.90\00:07:06.93
But originally,
they were all vegetarian.
00:07:06.93\00:07:08.93
In the fossil record,
supposedly existing millions
00:07:08.93\00:07:11.86
of years before man, if you
believe in millions of years,
00:07:11.86\00:07:13.93
as a Christian, you've got
lots of examples of animals
00:07:13.93\00:07:17.33
eating each other, fish
eating each other, bones in
00:07:17.33\00:07:20.30
the stomachs of
other animals, and so on.
00:07:20.30\00:07:23.93
What are they
going to do with that?
00:07:23.93\00:07:25.93
Ok.
00:07:25.93\00:07:26.93
No.
00:07:26.93\00:07:27.93
2.
00:07:27.93\00:07:28.93
Doesn't the Bible clearly
tell us in Genesis that as a
00:07:28.93\00:07:30.86
result of the curse,
thorns and thistles came into
00:07:30.86\00:07:34.93
existence?
00:07:34.93\00:07:35.93
JB: That's correct.
00:07:35.93\00:07:36.93
KH: The fossil record,
said to be millions of years
00:07:36.93\00:07:39.36
before man, right?
00:07:39.36\00:07:40.53
There's a lot of examples
of fossil thorns said to be
00:07:40.53\00:07:43.33
hundreds of
millions of years old.
00:07:43.33\00:07:45.33
Wait a minute!
00:07:45.33\00:07:46.33
You've got all these thorns,
millions of years before man
00:07:46.33\00:07:50.06
sinned?
00:07:50.06\00:07:51.26
Then thorns didn't
come after the curse.
00:07:51.26\00:07:53.30
There are many examples of
diseases in the fossil bones.
00:07:53.30\00:07:57.30
There are brain tumors.
00:07:57.30\00:07:58.46
For instance, there's a brain
tumor in a dinosaur fossil,
00:07:58.46\00:08:02.26
evidence of abscesses,
arthritis, cancer, all sorts
00:08:02.26\00:08:06.36
of diseases.
00:08:06.36\00:08:07.36
In fact, there are even
medical researchers today who
00:08:07.36\00:08:10.30
use the fossil bones to help
people understand how to look
00:08:10.30\00:08:15.06
for certain diseases and so on.
00:08:15.06\00:08:17.56
Now, when God finished
creating everything, he said
00:08:17.56\00:08:19.70
everything he
made was very good.
00:08:19.70\00:08:22.66
So, if you are going to
believe in millions of years,
00:08:22.66\00:08:25.60
God said brain tumors
were very good, cancer was very
00:08:25.60\00:08:27.60
good.
00:08:27.60\00:08:28.60
See, from a perspective
of Scripture, you can't have
00:08:28.60\00:08:32.36
brain tumors, cancer,
arthritis, abscesses that you
00:08:32.36\00:08:36.53
see in the fossil record,
animals eating each other,
00:08:36.53\00:08:38.96
thorns, supposedly
millions of years before man.
00:08:38.96\00:08:41.63
And so, therefore, the
whole fossil record has to come
00:08:41.63\00:08:43.90
after sin.
00:08:43.90\00:08:45.43
And when you look at the
fossil record, you see these
00:08:45.43\00:08:49.56
fossils laid down in
sedimentary layers over the
00:08:49.56\00:08:51.90
earth.
00:08:51.90\00:08:52.90
How would explain billions
of dead things buried in rock
00:08:52.90\00:08:56.63
layers, laid down by
water or over the earth.
00:08:56.63\00:08:59.60
I mean, 70% of the
earth's surfaces is covered in
00:08:59.60\00:09:01.66
sedimentary strata.
00:09:01.66\00:09:02.66
You know what the
Bible actually tells us?
00:09:02.66\00:09:04.66
JB What's that?
00:09:04.66\00:09:05.66
KH That there
was a global flood.
00:09:05.66\00:09:07.66
And if there really was a
global flood, you'd expect to
00:09:07.66\00:09:09.66
find billions of dead things
buried in rock layers, laid
00:09:09.66\00:09:11.66
down by water, all over
the earth, and that's what you
00:09:11.66\00:09:13.66
find.
00:09:13.66\00:09:14.66
JB And that's what you find.
00:09:14.66\00:09:15.66
KH and you know what you find?
00:09:15.66\00:09:17.66
Billions of dead things,
buried in rock layers laid
00:09:17.66\00:09:19.66
down by water
all over the earth.
00:09:19.66\00:09:21.66
So what should you think
when a fossil is discovered that
00:09:21.66\00:09:23.66
seems to indicated human
beings were on Earth millions
00:09:23.66\00:09:25.66
of years ago - when the
Bible says no such thing?
00:09:25.66\00:09:27.66
KH In a way, that evidence
that we do have a Lucy is
00:09:27.66\00:09:31.90
strong enough to
actually draw out a particular
00:09:31.90\00:09:36.06
interpretation which is
she was some kind of ape.
00:09:36.06\00:09:38.73
JB More in just a moment.
00:09:38.73\00:09:40.03
[Music] In Matthew 4:4, the
00:09:40.03\00:09:46.03
Word of God says, "It is
written, man shall not live
00:09:53.40\00:09:56.63
by bread alone, but by every
word that proceeds from the
00:09:56.63\00:10:00.23

You'll be glad you did.
00:10:26.83\00:10:29.96
Here's a sample.
00:10:29.96\00:10:32.70
[Music] When I read about a
14 year old girl executed for
00:10:32.70\00:10:35.66
adultery I was thankful
that Jesus doesn't mete out
00:10:35.66\00:10:38.36
justice the way some people do.
00:10:38.36\00:10:40.90
The monarch of the universe
- who could throw the book at
00:10:40.90\00:10:43.46
all of us if he wished -
prefers to win us with love
00:10:43.46\00:10:46.20
rather than brutalize us.
00:10:46.20\00:10:47.90
Here's what God says in
Jeremiah 9:24, "But let him
00:10:47.90\00:10:51.46
who glories glory in this,
that he understands and knows
00:10:51.46\00:10:54.46
Me, that I am the LORD,
exercising loving-kindness,
00:10:54.46\00:10:57.30
judgment, and
righteousness in the earth.
00:10:57.30\00:10:59.66
For in these I
delight," says the LORD."
00:10:59.66\00:11:02.26
Jeremiah 9:24 NKJV God's a
God of justice, that's true.
00:11:02.26\00:11:05.23
But God deals
kindly with His people.
00:11:05.23\00:11:08.20
He's patient and merciful
towards sinners, and instead
00:11:08.20\00:11:09.76
of looking to do away with
us He does all He can to win us
00:11:09.76\00:11:12.43
and convince us that He's good.
00:11:12.43\00:11:15.16
I hope you
remember this verse today.
00:11:15.16\00:11:16.93
Unlike humans, God is only good.
00:11:16.93\00:11:20.10
I'm John Bradshaw

Let's live today by Every Word.
00:11:21.96\00:11:25.03
This is It Is
Written, thanks for joining me.
00:11:26.40\00:11:28.53
I'm John Bradshaw Today
I'm discussing creation and
00:11:28.53\00:11:31.16
evolution with Ken Ham,
the President of the Creation
00:11:31.16\00:11:33.96
Museum in Northern Kentucky.
00:11:33.96\00:11:36.23
Ken's been teaching creation
for decades, so I asked him
00:11:36.23\00:11:39.46
about "Lucy".
00:11:39.46\00:11:41.50
In 1974, an American
anthropologist working in
00:11:41.50\00:11:46.50
Ethiopia discovered
fossilized remains of what
00:11:46.50\00:11:50.26
became known as "Lucy".
00:11:50.26\00:11:53.00
Lucy was actually
about 40% of a skeleton.
00:11:53.00\00:11:56.66
Many people believe
this skeleton to be several
00:11:56.66\00:11:58.96
millions of years old, and
either a direct ancestor of
00:11:58.96\00:12:02.50
today's human
beings, or closely related.
00:12:02.50\00:12:06.16
If Lucy is actually a human
- or human ancestor - and is 3
00:12:06.16\00:12:10.20
million-plus years old,
there goes the idea of a young
00:12:10.20\00:12:13.50
Earth that is less
than 10,000 years old.
00:12:13.50\00:12:16.33
So I asked Ken Ham if 40%
of an old skeleton gives enough
00:12:16.33\00:12:20.76
evidence of human beings
living millions of years ago.
00:12:20.76\00:12:24.43
KH In a way, that evidence
we do have of Lucy is strong
00:12:24.43\00:12:30.03
enough to actually draw
out a particular interpretation
00:12:30.03\00:12:33.46
that she was some kind of ape.
00:12:33.46\00:12:36.43
And it is interesting.
00:12:36.43\00:12:37.66
See, when you dig up a
skull, you can make, by using
00:12:37.66\00:12:43.60
artistic license, you can
make the head on that skull
00:12:43.60\00:12:48.53
look ape-like or human-like.
00:12:48.53\00:12:51.46
You can take an ape
skull and make it look a bit
00:12:51.46\00:12:53.90
human-like.
00:12:53.90\00:12:54.90
You can take a human
skull and make it look ape-like.
00:12:54.90\00:12:57.46
If you want Lucy to
be human-like, right?
00:12:57.46\00:13:02.63
Well, you want to have
short arms, because apes have
00:13:02.63\00:13:05.06
longer arms.
00:13:05.06\00:13:06.06
And so, therefore, where
the broken bones are, they put
00:13:06.06\00:13:08.30
them together but when
you look at them, they are
00:13:08.30\00:13:10.76
tapered, indicating
that they should be apart.
00:13:10.76\00:13:13.23
And so we put them apart to
where we believe they should
00:13:13.23\00:13:19.76
be, showing she
really had long arms, right?
00:13:19.76\00:13:21.76
Like an ape, which is what
the discoverer of Lucy said
00:13:21.76\00:13:23.76
she was.
00:13:23.76\00:13:24.76
Then, when you look at the
leg bones, well, for the leg
00:13:24.76\00:13:26.80
bones, they want
the opposite to happen.
00:13:26.80\00:13:30.33
Because apes have shorter
legs so they want them to
00:13:30.33\00:13:36.96
have longer legs, so for
the leg bones, they actually put
00:13:36.96\00:13:38.96
those bones apart
whereas when we look at them, it
00:13:38.96\00:13:40.96
looks like they should be
together and so, they do the
00:13:40.96\00:13:43.70
opposite of what they should
do because they want to make
00:13:43.70\00:13:47.00
it into something
that it really is not.
00:13:47.00\00:13:49.50
But when you've just got
the bones and you don't have the
00:13:49.50\00:13:53.03
flesh and the hair and
you can't see it and so that's
00:13:53.03\00:13:56.63
how people can be
indoctrinated in evolution
00:13:56.63\00:13:58.83
because an evolutionist can
take those bones and arrange
00:13:58.83\00:14:01.50
them in a particular way
and you know, shorten the arms,
00:14:01.50\00:14:04.83
and lengthen the legs, or the
rest of it, you know, do what
00:14:04.83\00:14:08.73
they want to do with them,
and then put flesh and hair
00:14:08.73\00:14:12.33
on them and make it
look sort of half human-like.
00:14:12.33\00:14:15.43
They can make the eyes look
a particular way and make it
00:14:15.43\00:14:18.96
look a bit humanlike,
and that's what they do.
00:14:18.96\00:14:21.66
JB I asked Ken Ham a question
I think everyone has asked at
00:14:21.66\00:14:25.56
some time or another: how
do you fit dinosaurs into the
00:14:25.56\00:14:28.90
Bible story, when the
science tells us dinosaurs lived
00:14:28.90\00:14:33.03
millions of years ago.
00:14:33.03\00:14:34.56
KH You've got crocodiles,
and the nautilus, and horseshoe
00:14:34.56\00:14:38.13
crab and so on.
00:14:38.13\00:14:39.13
You've got these
creatures, that according to
00:14:39.13\00:14:41.63
evolutionists, lived before
dinosaurs, and then must have
00:14:41.63\00:14:44.76
lived with dinosaurs
years ago and then supposedly
00:14:44.76\00:14:47.63
dinosaurs died out, then
all these others lived on and
00:14:47.63\00:14:51.20
they are still
living with us today.
00:14:51.20\00:14:54.33
So, the point is, these
creatures are living with us
00:14:54.33\00:14:57.23
today so why is it even from
an evolutionist perspective,
00:14:57.23\00:15:00.86
why is it so stupid to think
that dinosaurs could not live
00:15:00.86\00:15:04.40
with people?
00:15:04.40\00:15:05.40
Now most people have the
wrong idea about dinosaurs.
00:15:05.40\00:15:07.53
They think they are
all great big monsters.
00:15:07.53\00:15:09.53
JB A ha KH Well the word
dinosaur was first invited in
00:15:09.53\00:15:11.53
1841 by an Englishman, Sir.
00:15:11.53\00:15:13.06
Richard Owen and it comes
two Greek words, Dino Sauros and
00:15:13.06\00:15:16.96
translated, it
means terrible lizard.
00:15:16.96\00:15:19.43
And so people get the idea
that they are all great, big
00:15:19.43\00:15:23.20
monsters.
00:15:23.20\00:15:24.20
The average size of a
dinosaur is only the size of
00:15:24.20\00:15:27.60
a sheep, a shepherd dog.
00:15:27.60\00:15:29.43
That's the average size.
00:15:29.43\00:15:30.83
There are many
dinosaurs as small as chickens.
00:15:30.83\00:15:33.76
The mosasaurus when it
hatched out of an egg, was
00:15:33.76\00:15:37.40
only the size of a mouse.
00:15:37.40\00:15:39.60
So we shouldn't get the idea
that dinosaurs were all great
00:15:39.60\00:15:43.63
big monsters.
00:15:43.63\00:15:44.63
Secondly, people think
that they were hundreds, and
00:15:44.63\00:15:47.30
hundreds, and hundreds of
different type of dinosaurs.
00:15:47.30\00:15:50.23
Actually, there is only
about 50 families of dinosaurs,
00:15:50.23\00:15:53.53
which means about 50 kinds.
00:15:53.53\00:15:55.36
We would say, in most
instances, not all, but most
00:15:55.36\00:15:58.80
instances, that the kind
would be more at the family
00:15:58.80\00:16:03.03
level of classification.
00:16:03.03\00:16:04.76
And we have actually had,
for instance, some scientists
00:16:04.76\00:16:07.33
working on how many kinds of
land animals are there on the
00:16:07.33\00:16:11.36
earth.
00:16:11.36\00:16:12.36
Not species, but how
many kinds, actual kinds.
00:16:12.36\00:16:15.56
Because you know deer
and moose are the same kind,
00:16:15.56\00:16:18.36
alpacas, llamas, one hump
camels, two hump camels are
00:16:18.36\00:16:21.16
all the same kinds,
zebras, horses are all the same
00:16:21.16\00:16:23.80
kinds.
00:16:23.80\00:16:24.90
That's why at the petting
zoo here, we have a zorse and a
00:16:24.90\00:16:27.60
zedonk and so on.
00:16:27.60\00:16:29.93
Actually our scientists
believe there is probably
00:16:29.93\00:16:31.73
about a thousand kinds of
land animals which means..
00:16:31.73\00:16:37.93
JB 50 odd kinds of dinosaurs
KH and 50 kinds of dinosaurs,
00:16:37.93\00:16:40.73
well there's 50 families of
dinosaurs, so there are about
00:16:40.73\00:16:42.63
50 kinds.
00:16:42.63\00:16:44.13
We would say dinosaurs
were made on day six because all
00:16:44.13\00:16:46.83
land animals were made on
day six of the creation week.
00:16:46.83\00:16:49.93
We believe those
days are ordinary days.
00:16:49.93\00:16:51.63
The Hebrew word Yom,
when it's used with evening,
00:16:51.63\00:16:53.93
morning, number or
night means an ordinary day.
00:16:53.93\00:16:56.33
JB 24 hour period KH The
only reason that many Christians
00:16:56.33\00:16:58.66
don't believe that is not
because of what the Hebrew
00:16:58.66\00:17:01.13
words mean, it's because they
are trying to force millions
00:17:01.13\00:17:03.33
of years into the Bible.
00:17:03.33\00:17:04.40
You take It Is Written, in
fact, that's where our 7-day
00:17:04.40\00:17:07.03
week comes from,
Exodus 20:11, the basis of the
00:17:07.03\00:17:09.53
Fourth Commandment: In
six days the Lord made the
00:17:09.53\00:17:11.50
heavens and the earth and
rested on the 7th day and God
00:17:11.50\00:17:14.00
blessed the Sabbath day
and made it holy and so a seven
00:17:14.00\00:17:16.50
day week is based
upon the creation week.
00:17:16.50\00:17:19.50
You know, if God made
everything in six million
00:17:19.50\00:17:21.20
years and rested for millions
of years, we could go into
00:17:21.20\00:17:23.30
retirement now.
00:17:23.30\00:17:24.10
JB Yes we could.
00:17:24.10\00:17:25.60
KH So you see those
days are ordinary days.
00:17:25.60\00:17:28.50
On day six, God made the land
animals and he made the first
00:17:28.50\00:17:30.90
two people, Adam and Eve.
00:17:30.90\00:17:31.90
Dinosaurs are land animals.
00:17:31.90\00:17:33.23
Dinosaurs were
beside Adam and Eve.
00:17:33.23\00:17:35.23
See, I have people say to me,
"but the word dinosaur is not
00:17:35.23\00:17:37.43
in the Bible."
00:17:37.43\00:17:38.43
I say, well, of course not.
00:17:38.43\00:17:40.53
You know, why isn't the
word dinosaur in the Bible?
00:17:40.53\00:17:43.93
Well, the same reason you
don't have the word email in
00:17:43.93\00:17:46.50
the Bible.
00:17:46.50\00:17:47.30
Right?
00:17:47.30\00:17:48.13
It's a modern word.
00:17:48.13\00:17:49.50
JB Sure KH The word
dinosaur is a modern word.
00:17:49.50\00:17:51.50
It was made up in 1841.
00:17:51.50\00:17:53.36
In fact, I do believe
there is a dinosaur described in
00:17:53.36\00:17:55.73
detail, in the Bible,
more than most other animals.
00:17:55.73\00:17:59.20
In the book of Job,
Job 40:15, he says "behold,
00:17:59.20\00:18:03.26
Behemoth," talking to Job
and about this animal that lived
00:18:03.26\00:18:08.06
with him, he said he was a
chief of the ways of mouth.
00:18:08.06\00:18:10.56
The Hebrew language there
implies it's the largest land
00:18:10.56\00:18:12.70
animal God made and the
largest animal we know of
00:18:12.70\00:18:15.70
that lived on the land
from what we found is one of the
00:18:15.70\00:18:17.56
Sauropod dinosaurs.
00:18:17.56\00:18:19.06
Now they did grow very large,
by the way, but even they had
00:18:19.06\00:18:22.13
some eggs, which would
not have been much bigger than
00:18:22.13\00:18:25.86
the size of a football.
00:18:25.86\00:18:27.66
That's the biggest egg
we found, you know, dinosaur
00:18:27.66\00:18:30.33
eggs.
00:18:30.33\00:18:31.33
But, Behemoth, everything
about it is big and strong.
00:18:31.33\00:18:33.33
Has a tail like a cedar tree.
00:18:33.33\00:18:34.70
You know.
00:18:34.70\00:18:35.70
And some of the Bible
notes, I notice in some of the
00:18:35.70\00:18:38.30
Bibles say it was an
elephant or hippopotamus.
00:18:38.30\00:18:40.83
Have you ever seen
an elephant's tail?
00:18:40.83\00:18:42.83
It looks like a piece
of rope dangling down.
00:18:42.83\00:18:44.93
Or if you see a hippo tail,
you know, it's like a flap of
00:18:44.93\00:18:48.06
skin.
00:18:48.06\00:18:49.06
You know, a cedar tree?
00:18:49.06\00:18:50.06
No, I don't think so.
00:18:50.06\00:18:51.06
It's more, we believe
the description of a Sauropod
00:18:51.06\00:18:53.20
dinosaur.
00:18:53.20\00:18:54.20
You see, people say,
well what happened to the
00:18:54.20\00:18:56.20
dinosaurs?
00:18:56.20\00:18:57.20
Well, why aren't you
interested in the dodo bird?
00:18:57.20\00:18:59.20
What happened to the dodo bird?
00:18:59.20\00:19:01.26
What happened to..
00:19:01.26\00:19:02.26
what?
00:19:02.26\00:19:03.26
The Moa?
00:19:03.26\00:19:04.26
JB The Moa in New Zealand.
00:19:04.26\00:19:04.80
That's right.
00:19:04.80\00:19:05.63
Great big bird, 9 feet tall.
00:19:05.63\00:19:06.83
KH It's gone now.
00:19:06.83\00:19:07.73
JB Gone.
00:19:07.73\00:19:08.73
KH I mean, there are hundreds
and hundreds and hundreds of
00:19:08.73\00:19:10.40
animals that
have become extinct.
00:19:10.40\00:19:11.93
But people think it's the
dinosaurs that are the big
00:19:11.93\00:19:13.90
mystery but there are lots
of animals that are becoming
00:19:13.90\00:19:15.93
extinct.
00:19:15.93\00:19:16.56
Because of changing
conditions and I mean that's
00:19:16.56\00:19:18.46
why we have
endangered species programs.
00:19:18.46\00:19:20.73
I tell people the reason
dinosaurs became extinct is
00:19:20.73\00:19:23.13
we didn't start our
endangered species programs
00:19:23.13\00:19:26.10
early enough.

Today on It Is Written
I'm talking with Ken Ham about
00:20:50.16\00:20:53.70
creation and evolution.
00:20:53.70\00:20:55.76
I asked Ken why what a person
believes about creation and
00:20:55.76\00:21:00.46
evolution really matters at all.
00:21:00.46\00:21:03.46
KH: Do you believe Jesus
Christ bodily rose from the
00:21:03.46\00:21:05.56
dead?
00:21:05.56\00:21:06.56
JB Oh yes I do.
00:21:06.56\00:21:07.56
KH Where did you get that from?
00:21:07.56\00:21:09.56
JB Right out of the Bible.
00:21:09.56\00:21:10.56
KH Out of the bible?
00:21:10.56\00:21:11.56
JB Yeah.
00:21:11.56\00:21:12.56
KH So you take that as
the authoritative Word of God.
00:21:12.56\00:21:14.56
JB Most definitely.
00:21:14.56\00:21:15.56
KH So you believe in
the virgin birth too?
00:21:15.56\00:21:17.56
JB Sure, it's
right there in the Bible.
00:21:17.56\00:21:19.56
KH Now wait a
minute, wait a minute.
00:21:19.56\00:21:21.56
Secular scientists say
that you can't have a man rising
00:21:21.56\00:21:23.56
from the dead, and you
can't have a virgin birth.
00:21:23.56\00:21:25.56
You know, if I was to go
through the Bible and what I
00:21:25.56\00:21:27.56
call our mainline churches,
and I was to say: Do you
00:21:27.56\00:21:29.56
believe fed thousands
of people is a miracle?
00:21:29.56\00:21:31.50
JB Oh, they'll say yes, sure.
00:21:31.50\00:21:32.50
KH They'll say yes.
00:21:32.50\00:21:33.50
How do you know?
00:21:33.50\00:21:34.50
The Bible says.
00:21:34.50\00:21:35.50
Do you believe
Jesus walked on water?
00:21:35.50\00:21:37.50
Oh yes.
00:21:37.50\00:21:38.50
How do you know?
00:21:38.50\00:21:39.50
The Bible says.
00:21:39.50\00:21:40.50
Do you believe that a
man was swallowed by a fish?
00:21:40.50\00:21:42.50
And lived in a
fish for three days?
00:21:42.50\00:21:44.50
How do you know?
00:21:44.50\00:21:45.50
The Bible says.
00:21:45.50\00:21:46.50
As soon as you get to Genesis
in this day and age, and even
00:21:46.50\00:21:48.50
in the church and you say,
what God created in six days,
00:21:48.50\00:21:50.50
man was made from dust,
woman from his side, there was a
00:21:50.50\00:21:53.06
global flood, death came
after sin, here is what we
00:21:53.06\00:21:55.33
hear.
00:21:55.33\00:21:56.33
Oh no.
00:21:56.33\00:21:57.33
Why not?
00:21:57.33\00:21:58.33
Well because outside of
scripture here, because these
00:21:58.33\00:22:00.40
ideas of millions of
years, because of evolution.
00:22:00.40\00:22:02.40
You've got to reinterpret
the days, you've got to do this
00:22:02.40\00:22:04.40
and here's the point.
00:22:04.40\00:22:06.13
What is happen is this.
00:22:06.13\00:22:07.16
If we don't take a stand
on the creation account in
00:22:07.16\00:22:09.93
Genesis and we allow outside
ideas to reinterpret that, we
00:22:09.93\00:22:15.53
are unlocking a door and
the door we are unlocking is we
00:22:15.53\00:22:18.66
are telling coming
generations that you don't
00:22:18.66\00:22:21.33
have to take God's
word as written here.
00:22:21.33\00:22:23.86
It puts them on a slipperly
slide of unbelief through the
00:22:23.86\00:22:26.03
whole of Scripture.
00:22:26.03\00:22:27.53
You tell me to believe
this bit of the Bible over here,
00:22:27.53\00:22:30.16
but this bit doesn't matter.
00:22:30.16\00:22:31.83
I can take mans ideas and
reinterpret here, but I am
00:22:31.83\00:22:34.53
not allowed to
do that over here.
00:22:34.53\00:22:36.53
It's hypocrisy.
00:22:36.53\00:22:38.60
God's word came under
attack at the beginning and that
00:22:38.60\00:22:42.00
attack has continued
down through the ages.
00:22:42.00\00:22:44.36
It's never abated.
00:22:44.36\00:22:45.63
It's the same attack yet it
manifests itself in different
00:22:45.63\00:22:48.83
ways and
different eras of history.
00:22:48.83\00:22:51.40
For instance, when Peter and
Paul were preaching about the
00:22:51.40\00:22:53.50
resurrection, did they ever
get the question: Hey, that's
00:22:53.50\00:22:56.16
all very well, preaching
about the resurrection.
00:22:56.16\00:22:58.16
What do you do
with carbon dating?
00:22:58.16\00:23:00.23
Did people like Martin
Luther, when he nailed the
00:23:00.23\00:23:02.23
thesis on the door of the
church, did someone come up
00:23:02.23\00:23:04.53
to him and say that's all
very well to nail those on
00:23:04.53\00:23:07.93
the door of the church.
00:23:07.93\00:23:09.36
I want to know about dinosaurs.
00:23:09.36\00:23:11.76
Well, the word dinosaur
was not invented until 1841.
00:23:11.76\00:23:13.76
My point is this.
00:23:13.76\00:23:14.83
There is a particular
Genesis 3 attack in our day.
00:23:14.83\00:23:18.23
People in past ages had
to deal with all sorts of
00:23:18.23\00:23:22.53
attacks on the Bible.
00:23:22.53\00:23:24.10
Gnosticism and all
sorts of heresies and so on.
00:23:24.10\00:23:27.63
I believe today that
the teaching of evolution,
00:23:27.63\00:23:30.70
millions of years, big bang
and so on, that permeates the
00:23:30.70\00:23:34.03
world, wherever you've got
an education system, access to
00:23:34.03\00:23:37.43
the internet, access to
television, people have heard
00:23:37.43\00:23:40.16
of evolution millions of years.
00:23:40.16\00:23:42.86
It permeates museums around
the world, zoos around the
00:23:42.86\00:23:45.63
world, just about everybody
has heard about evolution of
00:23:45.63\00:23:48.16
millions of years.
00:23:48.16\00:23:49.16
I believe that it is the
Genesis 3 attack of our day.
00:23:49.16\00:23:52.83
You know, your salvation is
not conditioned upon the age
00:23:52.83\00:23:57.73
of the earth of whether
you believe in evolution or the
00:23:57.73\00:24:00.26
days of creation.
00:24:00.26\00:24:01.43
The condition is upon
faith in Christ, right?
00:24:01.43\00:24:04.96
But believing in evolution
for millions of years doesn't
00:24:04.96\00:24:08.66
necessarily
affect your salvation.
00:24:08.66\00:24:10.90
There are many Christians
that believe in millions of
00:24:10.90\00:24:13.93
years.
00:24:13.93\00:24:14.93
Many Christians that
believe in evolution.
00:24:14.93\00:24:16.96
But what it does affect is
how the next generation views
00:24:16.96\00:24:20.53
Scripture itself.
00:24:20.53\00:24:22.16
What I have given you is
a long answer to get back to
00:24:22.16\00:24:26.03
the fact that the
issue is one of authority.
00:24:26.03\00:24:29.50
Who is the authority?
00:24:29.50\00:24:30.43
God or man?
00:24:30.43\00:24:31.90
And when you let man be an
authority over God's word and
00:24:31.90\00:24:35.10
reinterpret God's word
because of outside ideas you
00:24:35.10\00:24:37.66
are unlocking a door so
the next generation tend not to
00:24:37.66\00:24:40.86
believe the Scripture as much
and the next generation doubt
00:24:40.86\00:24:43.86
and disbelieve even more
and as time goes on, you would
00:24:43.86\00:24:48.23
expect to see more and more
in the younger generations of
00:24:48.23\00:24:52.96
leaving the church,
walking away from the church as
00:24:52.96\00:24:55.40
exactly what we see.
00:24:55.40\00:24:56.86
JB That's what we see today.

Why don't we take a

00:26:47.60\00:26:49.86
We'll pray to the God of

00:26:53.00\00:26:54.56
Our Father in heaven, I
thank you for the Bible.
00:26:54.56\00:26:57.20
The Bible that reveals to
us that In the Beginning, God
00:26:57.20\00:27:00.36
created.
00:27:00.36\00:27:01.90
Lord, I look forward to
your continuing creative power.
00:27:01.90\00:27:04.96
The Bible tells us that
you will recreate this earth.
00:27:04.96\00:27:08.70
We will dwell in a
new earth some day.
00:27:08.70\00:27:12.46
The Bible tells us that you
are the God who can recreate
00:27:12.46\00:27:15.06
a broken, human heart.
00:27:15.06\00:27:17.16
Lord, would you
do that work for us?
00:27:17.16\00:27:19.20
We thank you today and we
pray praising you, in Jesus'
00:27:19.20\00:27:23.70
name, Amen.
00:27:23.70\00:27:29.70
Thanks for joining me today.
00:27:46.10\00:27:47.16
I look forward to
seeing you again next time.
00:27:47.16\00:27:49.36
Until then, remember: It
is written, man shall not live
00:27:49.36\00:27:54.16
by bread alone, but by every
word that proceeds from the
00:27:54.16\00:27:58.06
mouth of God.
00:27:58.06\00:28:00.13
