Once upon a time, the
sweetly pungent smoke of tobacco
00:00:01.98\00:00:03.44
offered more than dreary
old diseases like emphysema
00:00:03.48\00:00:06.89
and lung cancer.
00:00:06.92\00:00:08.35
It promised
sophistication, sex appeal, even
00:00:08.39\00:00:11.51
longevity itself.
00:00:11.54\00:00:12.84
And best of all, it
could even help you guard
00:00:12.87\00:00:15.72
against throat scratch!
00:00:15.75\00:00:18.01
This is a lie.
00:00:18.04\00:00:19.01
Most of us know this is a lie.
00:00:19.02\00:00:20.99
Our knowledge doesn't
allow us to believe this.
00:00:21.03\00:00:23.68
We still may choose to smoke
but we now know that we do it
00:00:23.72\00:00:27.67
at our peril.
00:00:27.70\00:00:28.78
But the tobacco
industry wants us to smoke.
00:00:28.82\00:00:31.44
If we don't smoke
they won't have any money.
00:00:31.47\00:00:34.06
So they still advertise.
00:00:34.09\00:00:35.56
They still promote their
product as something good,
00:00:35.60\00:00:38.24
as something positive,
something to be desired.
00:00:38.28\00:00:40.85
Who has the best motive for
truth telling here, the doctors
00:00:40.89\00:00:45.17
or the cigarette advertisers?
00:00:45.20\00:00:47.41
Who do you trust will
give you the knowledge you need
00:00:47.45\00:00:50.34
to make the right choices?
00:00:50.37\00:00:51.77
In Search of the Truth
00:00:55.72\00:01:01.29
The Genesis Question?
00:01:10.51\00:01:11.48
with Charles Byrd
00:01:15.90\00:01:17.49
Hello, I'm Karen Bryd.
In 1859 Darwin Published his
00:01:30.94\00:01:35.78
book: "The Origin of Species"
00:01:35.81\00:01:37.94
During the 1960's this
theory made it's way into our
00:01:37.98\00:01:41.48
public schools, universities and
households across the country.
00:01:41.52\00:01:45.56
Though it was introduced
as a theory, it has often been
00:01:45.59\00:01:48.70
presented as a
scientifically proven fact.
00:01:48.73\00:01:51.67
Is it?
00:01:51.70\00:01:52.67
Like the smoker's of
today, are we buying a lie?
00:01:52.70\00:01:56.59
Let's join Charles as he
goes in search of the answer to
00:01:56.63\00:02:00.14
the genesis question.
00:02:00.17\00:02:02.78
I don't like being lied to,
especially when the person who
00:02:02.82\00:02:06.31
is lying is doing it
deliberately because of
00:02:06.34\00:02:08.69
ulterior motives.
00:02:08.72\00:02:10.02
And in regards to the genesis
question, I don't want to be
00:02:10.06\00:02:13.52
lied to either because where
I came from impacts who I am
00:02:13.56\00:02:16.99
and where I'm going.
00:02:17.02\00:02:18.49
By my estimation there really
are only two possible answers
00:02:18.53\00:02:23.21
to the genesis question:
00:02:23.24\00:02:24.61
Someone or something planned me
and put me here or I arrived on
00:02:24.65\00:02:29.40
the stage of
life by pure chance.
00:02:29.43\00:02:31.52
"When it comes to the
origin of life on this earth,
00:02:31.56\00:02:35.88
there are only
two possibilities:
00:02:35.91\00:02:39.16
creation or spontaneous
generation (evolution).
00:02:39.20\00:02:42.18
There is no third way."
00:02:42.21\00:02:45.36
According to the late
George Wald, a Nobel Prize
00:02:45.40\00:02:48.16
winner, the genesis
question boils down to just two
00:02:48.20\00:02:50.93
possibilities:
Pattern or Chance.
00:02:50.96\00:02:53.79
Either the evidence indicates
some genius designer who
00:02:53.83\00:02:57.33
had a pattern, a plan.
00:02:57.36\00:02:59.12
Or, we came about by
random chance, through small,
00:02:59.16\00:03:02.68
gradual changes.
00:03:02.71\00:03:04.04
According to the American
Heritage Dictionary of Cultural
00:03:04.08\00:03:08.14
Literacy, evolution
occurred in three stages.
00:03:08.17\00:03:11.85
First came chemical evolution,
in which organic molecules,
00:03:11.89\00:03:16.36
the molecules that
make up living organisms,
00:03:16.39\00:03:18.91
were formed.
00:03:18.94\00:03:20.02
The second stage was the
development of single cells
00:03:20.06\00:03:24.46
capable of
reproducing themselves.
00:03:24.49\00:03:26.70
This led to the third stage
in which organisms developed
00:03:26.74\00:03:31.89
that were capable
of sexual reproduction.
00:03:31.92\00:03:34.62
This whole
evolution thing is so simple.
00:03:34.65\00:03:37.28
The theory says it all
happened in three steps.
00:03:37.32\00:03:40.12
Chemical Evolution, then
single cells, and finally
00:03:40.15\00:03:42.92
sexual reproduction.
00:03:42.95\00:03:44.35
But what if there is no
scientific evidence that step
00:03:44.39\00:03:47.54
one could have happened?
What if there is a preponderance
00:03:47.58\00:03:50.70
of improbability that
step one is even possible?
00:03:50.73\00:03:54.08
These are not just
abstract questions.
00:03:54.11\00:03:56.40
Charles Darwin himself said...
00:03:56.43\00:03:58.58
"If it could be demonstrated
that any complex organ existed
00:03:58.62\00:04:04.80
which could not possibly
have been formed by numerous,
00:04:04.83\00:04:08.33
successive, slight
modifications, my theory would
00:04:08.36\00:04:13.70
absolutely breakdown."
00:04:13.73\00:04:15.42
According to the inventor of
the theory, if chance could not
00:04:15.46\00:04:19.62
produce a single cell, then
the whole theory breaks down.
00:04:19.66\00:04:23.79
But none of us were there.
00:04:23.82\00:04:25.52
The evolutionist wasn't there.
00:04:25.56\00:04:27.23
The creationist wasn't there.
00:04:27.26\00:04:28.79
To find the answer to this
question all of us are reduced
00:04:28.83\00:04:32.02
to using the same
methods a detective must use in
00:04:32.05\00:04:35.69
solving a crime.
00:04:35.72\00:04:36.79
We all must
look at the evidence.
00:04:36.83\00:04:40.11
No one would look at
a jet air plane and say,
00:04:40.15\00:04:42.69
"Well I declare, that earthquake
really did something special
00:04:42.73\00:04:46.91
with that junk
yard of Uncle Leroy's!
00:04:46.94\00:04:48.90
I wonder if that junk can fly!"
00:04:48.93\00:04:50.92
No one would look at
the skeleton of a house,
00:04:50.96\00:04:53.79
all the two by fours and say,
00:04:53.82\00:04:55.38
"Wow, isn't it amazing what
wind storms do these days, man!?
00:04:55.42\00:05:00.23
Dude in my day it just
blew things to pieces!"
00:05:00.26\00:05:04.82
A pattern, a complex structure
demands that we reason that
00:05:04.85\00:05:09.34
someone put things together.
00:05:09.37\00:05:11.16
Organized supplies, pulled
together materials, the right
00:05:11.20\00:05:14.26
amount of each item, put
together in just the right way.
00:05:14.29\00:05:18.10
This same complex pattern with
variable materials, systems,
00:05:18.14\00:05:21.92
and quantities can be
clearly seen in the systems of
00:05:21.95\00:05:25.39
the human body.
00:05:25.42\00:05:26.39
We have many
systems in our body.
00:05:26.40\00:05:28.45
First, there's
the digestive system.
00:05:28.49\00:05:30.98
That's the system that
processes all our food we eat.
00:05:31.02\00:05:34.53
Then, there's
the Urinary System.
00:05:34.56\00:05:36.48
This is really important but
I don't want to talk about this.
00:05:36.51\00:05:40.43
There's the
Cardiovascular System.
00:05:40.46\00:05:43.14
Most of us probably know
more about our heart and blood
00:05:43.18\00:05:46.26
than any other system.
00:05:46.29\00:05:47.91
There's the Nervous System.
00:05:47.95\00:05:50.57
We all know we have one
of these because some people
00:05:50.61\00:05:53.89
get on our nerves.
00:05:53.92\00:05:55.14
There's the male and
female Reproductive System.
00:05:55.18\00:05:58.37
We'll come back
to that in a minute!
00:05:58.40\00:05:59.99
There's the Endocrine System.
00:06:00.02\00:06:02.34
The Endocrine glands secret
fluids that help digestion,
00:06:02.38\00:06:06.32
and metabolism, or how
your body uses the nutrients in
00:06:06.36\00:06:10.27
food, air and water, etc.
00:06:10.30\00:06:12.63
We also have a Lymphatic System.
00:06:12.67\00:06:15.71
Not optional.
00:06:15.74\00:06:17.87
Lymph is a courier for the body
that transports material that
00:06:17.91\00:06:23.12
has been liquefied in the
bowels or small intestines.
00:06:23.15\00:06:26.97
There's the Skeletal System.
00:06:27.00\00:06:29.02
Not important to anyone who
is a jellyfish, but vital to us.
00:06:29.06\00:06:33.14
Not only does it hold us up
and give us shape but it helps
00:06:33.17\00:06:37.22
make our blood.
00:06:37.25\00:06:38.45
There's the Muscular System.
00:06:38.49\00:06:40.71
This is what uses our bones
as levers to move us about.
00:06:40.75\00:06:44.19
The thing that any biologist
knows is that all these systems
00:06:44.23\00:06:48.27
are absolutely
dependent on each other.
00:06:48.30\00:06:50.54
Take away any one of these
systems and the whole person
00:06:50.58\00:06:53.52
ceases to be.
00:06:53.55\00:06:54.60
These systems cry, PATTERN,
PLAN, PURPOSE, creative genius!
00:06:54.64\00:07:00.02
I have a question.
00:07:00.05\00:07:02.21
How many people partially
evolved over the supposed
00:07:02.24\00:07:05.76
billions of years till
one person got it right?
00:07:05.79\00:07:09.26
You know, I'd like to go back
to the male/female reproduction
00:07:09.30\00:07:14.22
systems. Evolutionists
want us to believe that the male
00:07:14.25\00:07:17.11
reproductive system evolved at
just the right time to work with
00:07:17.15\00:07:21.23
all the 8 other systems in the
man, but also at the same time,
00:07:21.26\00:07:25.31
somewhere in the universe
another person, a female,
00:07:25.34\00:07:28.30
evolved with the same 9 systems
except her reproductive system
00:07:28.34\00:07:32.56
was exactly
complimentary to the males.
00:07:32.59\00:07:35.47
And that's how we
reproduce the human race.
00:07:35.50\00:07:38.35
Really!?
00:07:38.38\00:07:39.50
Evolutionists want us to believe
that without any outside help
00:07:39.54\00:07:44.33
you and I, the the
flowers and bees, whales,
00:07:44.36\00:07:49.17
in short every living thing
all happened by random selection
00:07:49.21\00:07:53.76
or chance.
00:07:53.79\00:07:55.25
If we didn't get here by design
then we got here by chance.
00:07:55.29\00:07:59.75
These are the two options.
00:07:59.78\00:08:01.78
In our search for the truth we
are going to take a closer look
00:08:01.82\00:08:04.58
at the most basic
building blocks of life called
00:08:04.61\00:08:06.91
amino acids.
00:08:06.94\00:08:09.05
Every cell of our body is
made of numerous Proteins.
00:08:09.09\00:08:12.43
These proteins are in
turn made up of amino acids
00:08:12.46\00:08:15.77
linked together in long chains.
00:08:15.80\00:08:18.23
Let's make this simple.
Let's say that you are a book.
00:08:18.27\00:08:21.33
A book with 10 million stories.
00:08:21.36\00:08:24.06
Each story is one
cell of your body.
00:08:24.10\00:08:26.06
Each cell or story is made
up of complete sentences called
00:08:26.10\00:08:30.99
Proteins. Each
sentence, each protein is
00:08:31.02\00:08:34.78
made up of letters
called amino acids.
00:08:34.81\00:08:38.50
You may not know this
but amino acids, or letters,
00:08:38.54\00:08:41.95
have been created
by scientists in a lab.
00:08:41.98\00:08:44.77
In 1952 a young graduate student
at the University of Chicago
00:08:44.81\00:08:49.90
named Stanley Miller,
performed one of the most famous
00:08:49.93\00:08:52.73
experiments in modern science.
00:08:52.76\00:08:54.85
He wanted to know what chemical
reactions might have produced
00:08:54.89\00:08:58.04
billions of years ago.
00:08:58.07\00:08:59.76
He constructed an apparatus that
contained all the elements that
00:08:59.80\00:09:04.09
should have been on earth,
a pool of water, and several
00:09:04.12\00:09:06.65
sparking electrodes
to simulate lightning.
00:09:06.68\00:09:09.07
After a week of boiling
water and sparking electrodes,
00:09:09.11\00:09:12.49
Miller discovered several
different amino acids had been
00:09:12.53\00:09:15.88
created.
00:09:15.91\00:09:16.90
According to my experiment,
the basic materials needed for
00:09:16.94\00:09:21.09
living organisms could have
been available to kick start
00:09:21.12\00:09:25.24
biological evolution
as proposed by Darwin.
00:09:25.27\00:09:28.84
Newspapers declared that
Stanley Miller had almost...
00:09:28.88\00:09:37.84
created "life in a test tube".
00:09:37.87\00:09:39.45
Other scientists conducted
similar experiments with
00:09:39.49\00:09:42.81
increased modifications to
the environment and in the next
00:09:42.85\00:09:46.26
thirty years created all but
three of the twenty naturally
00:09:46.29\00:09:49.67
occurring amino acids.
00:09:49.70\00:09:51.20
BUT there are some problems.
00:09:51.23\00:09:53.36
First, his experiment and the
following experiments by other
00:09:53.40\00:09:56.80
scientists CREATED
or PRODUCED amino acids.
00:09:56.83\00:10:00.08
They didn't occur naturally.
00:10:00.11\00:10:02.13
Miller created an amino acid
making machine, showing that
00:10:02.17\00:10:06.02
intelligent beings
can make amino acids.
00:10:06.05\00:10:08.37
He did not show that amino acids
were made naturally on earth
00:10:08.41\00:10:12.02
billions of years ago.
00:10:12.05\00:10:13.79
In his book "Darwin's Black Box"
Michael Behe, a professor of
00:10:13.83\00:10:18.10
biochemistry at Lehigh
University, compares these
00:10:18.13\00:10:21.17
experiments with a
chef who claims that random,
00:10:21.20\00:10:23.81
natural processes can
produce a chocolate cake.
00:10:23.84\00:10:26.40
The cook then proceeds to
use refined flour and processed
00:10:26.44\00:10:30.50
chocolate, measures all
the ingredients carefully,
00:10:30.53\00:10:33.33
mixes them in a bowl, and cooks
the cake in an oven because
00:10:33.37\00:10:37.18
he needs to "speed things up".
00:10:37.21\00:10:39.24
The results end up having
nothing to do with the original
00:10:39.28\00:10:43.03
idea that natural
processes could produce a cake."
00:10:43.06\00:10:46.85
The second problem is
that Miller created only some
00:10:46.88\00:10:50.64
amino acids that are
essential for building proteins.
00:10:50.67\00:10:54.15
To my knowledge no scientist
has ever "Accidentally"
00:10:54.18\00:10:57.61
created a complete list of
amino acids or letters needed to
00:10:57.65\00:11:01.18
create a complete alphabet.
00:11:01.21\00:11:02.88
I'm sure we can all see that
there is an enormous difference
00:11:02.91\00:11:06.42
between making a few letters of
an alphabet and a whole story,
00:11:06.45\00:11:09.95
or making a few amino acids
and making a living organism
00:11:09.98\00:11:13.88
that can replicate itself.
00:11:13.91\00:11:15.41
There are a lot of
things required to make even a
00:11:15.45\00:11:17.94
single protein.
00:11:17.97\00:11:19.07
The first difficulty is
as simple as it is profound.
00:11:19.11\00:11:23.65
All amino acids are either
left-handed or right-handed.
00:11:23.69\00:11:27.83
Start evolution off with
a 50/50 mix of left handed
00:11:27.86\00:11:31.93
and right handed amino acids
and you would expect that humans
00:11:31.97\00:11:35.40
would have both left and
right handed amino acids, but
00:11:35.43\00:11:39.62
all living things contain
only left-handed amino acids.
00:11:39.65\00:11:43.81
Did you hear that?
00:11:43.84\00:11:44.81
ALL LIVING THINGS ARE
MADE UP OF PROTEINS WITH ONLY
00:11:44.82\00:11:48.22
LEFT HANDED AMINO ACIDS!
00:11:48.25\00:11:50.35
You and I, flowers and
birds are only made up of
00:11:50.39\00:11:53.68
LEFT handed amino acids.
00:11:53.71\00:11:55.81
This brings us back to the
point of evolution and chance.
00:11:55.85\00:11:59.44
Let's put some real numbers to
this and see if this wonderful
00:11:59.48\00:12:02.63
wonderful parade called life
could of just have happened.
00:12:02.67\00:12:05.79
Based on studies of
Dr. Harold Morowitz,
00:12:05.82\00:12:08.54
Professor of bio-Physics at Yale
who did extensive research for
00:12:08.58\00:12:12.25
NASA the smallest possible
living thing would have about
00:12:12.28\00:12:15.93
400 amino acids.
00:12:15.96\00:12:17.59
What if we use the probability
theory to find out how likely
00:12:17.63\00:12:21.55
it is that the smallest
possible living thing with 400
00:12:21.58\00:12:25.53
amino acids, would just
happen to have only left-handed
00:12:25.57\00:12:29.49
amino acids?
00:12:29.52\00:12:30.49
Well, there's one chance
in 10 followed by 123 zeros.
00:12:30.50\00:12:36.76
"It's estimated that all
the number of protein molecules
00:12:36.79\00:12:42.26
to have ever existed is
only ten followed by 52 zeros."
00:12:42.29\00:12:47.73
If Stanley Miller's experiment
created both left and right
00:12:47.76\00:12:51.42
handed amino acids it would
be logical to expect that chance
00:12:51.46\00:12:54.84
would have created beings
with both left and right handed
00:12:54.88\00:12:58.23
amino acids.
00:12:58.26\00:12:59.23
But the facts are living beings
are only made up of left handed
00:12:59.24\00:13:04.80
amino acids and ten followed by
123 zeros is no chance, at all.
00:13:04.84\00:13:09.88
This one realization should be
enough to prove that step one,
00:13:09.91\00:13:14.92
chemical evolution,
could not have just happened.
00:13:14.95\00:13:18.53
But it gets even more
complicated than this.
00:13:18.56\00:13:21.44
The average protein in the
smallest living creature also
00:13:21.48\00:13:25.65
has 400 amino acid links and
each link must be in the right
00:13:25.69\00:13:29.82
order. Each link is kind of
like a letter of the alphabet.
00:13:29.86\00:13:33.51
To get a meaningful word
each letter must be in the right
00:13:33.55\00:13:37.77
order. If the letters in the
word "letter" are out of order
00:13:37.80\00:13:41.34
(for example "teertl") then you
wouldn't get a meaningful word.
00:13:41.37\00:13:45.45
What is the probability that
a chain of 400 amino acid links,
00:13:45.48\00:13:49.66
by random selection, could align
themselves in just the right
00:13:49.69\00:13:53.84
order?
00:13:53.87\00:13:54.94
One in ten
followed by 240 zeros.
00:13:54.98\00:13:59.87
If chemicals combined 150
thousand trillion times faster
00:13:59.91\00:14:05.22
than they do in living things,
and used all the chemical atoms
00:14:05.26\00:14:08.38
on earth, there would be only
one chance in ten followed by
00:14:08.42\00:14:12.50
161 zeros that a single usable
protein could have been produced
00:14:12.53\00:14:16.58
by chance in the
history of earth!
00:14:16.61\00:14:19.22
Once you understand
these numbers, ten followed by
00:14:19.26\00:14:23.41
123 zeros that amino
acids could all be left-handed.
00:14:23.44\00:14:27.00
Ten followed by 240 zeros
that they would line up in just
00:14:27.04\00:14:31.12
the right order.
00:14:31.15\00:14:32.31
Once you understand these
numbers the evidence forces you
00:14:32.35\00:14:36.33
to come to the conclusion that
small gradual changes, natural
00:14:36.36\00:14:40.31
laws, chance didn't make
the proteins essential to life.
00:14:40.34\00:14:44.55
Using the probability theory,
mathematicians have come to
00:14:44.59\00:14:48.84
understand that anything
beyond 50 zeros is impossible.
00:14:48.88\00:14:52.68
For chemical evolution to
have worked, you need at least
00:14:52.72\00:14:56.60
400 all left handed amino
acids, all in the right order.
00:14:56.64\00:15:00.49
But for evolution to succeed
we're still short one step.
00:15:00.52\00:15:04.24
One huge step.
00:15:04.27\00:15:06.85
Living cells have
more than just protein.
00:15:06.89\00:15:09.61
They also need DNA,
which allows them to replicate.
00:15:09.65\00:15:13.53
Simply put, a living
protein, the basis of life,
00:15:13.57\00:15:17.38
cannot replicate itself without
an encyclopedia of instructions.
00:15:17.42\00:15:21.26
A detailed blueprint
which specifies: time, quantity,
00:15:21.29\00:15:25.27
components, and position.
00:15:25.30\00:15:27.51
Let's say we take all the atom
in the universe and turn them
00:15:27.55\00:15:30.52
into only the kind
of atoms found in DNA.
00:15:30.55\00:15:33.63
Then we make them
combine together into chains
00:15:33.67\00:15:36.84
again and again at eight
trillion chains a second.
00:15:36.87\00:15:40.01
Would it be possible
for a single DNA gene to
00:15:40.04\00:15:43.48
happen by chance?
00:15:43.51\00:15:45.18
Only if we have ten
followed by 147 zeros years!
00:15:45.22\00:15:49.90
How long is that?
00:15:49.93\00:15:53.33
In Dr. Lawrence Richard's
book, "It Couldn't Just Happen"
00:15:53.37\00:15:56.99
he uses this illustration
to help us understand
00:15:57.02\00:15:59.76
how long 147 zeros years is.
00:15:59.79\00:16:03.20
Imagine a snail moving so slowly
that it takes 3 quintillion
00:16:03.24\00:16:07.69
years, that's three followed by
18 zeros years, to travel just
00:16:07.72\00:16:12.14
one inch.
00:16:12.17\00:16:13.14
If the snail carried one
atom across the estimated
00:16:13.15\00:16:16.07
thirty billion light years of
the universe, it would take him
00:16:16.11\00:16:19.63
about forty-followed
by 125 zeros-years!"
00:16:19.66\00:16:24.28
At this leisurely pace,
the little space crawler
00:16:24.32\00:16:27.64
would have time to carry 20
followed by twenty-one zeros
00:16:27.68\00:16:32.05
universes one atom at a
time across the assumed diameter
00:16:32.08\00:16:35.98
of the universe, during
the same time chance would be
00:16:36.02\00:16:39.89
expected to arrange one
gene in any usable order.
00:16:39.92\00:16:43.04
Most of us don't
understand a word I just said.
00:16:43.08\00:16:46.15
We have no concept of what
a 147 zeros years looks like.
00:16:46.19\00:16:50.44
Most people don't even
understand the difference
00:16:50.47\00:16:52.93
between million,
billion, and trillion.
00:16:52.96\00:16:55.85
A young wife comes to her
husband and she says honey,
00:16:55.89\00:17:00.71
honey, I need some
money to go shopping.
00:17:00.74\00:17:02.72
A husband holds up his
hand, signally that he's busy.
00:17:02.76\00:17:05.25
The young wife persists, please!
00:17:05.28\00:17:08.35
The husband says
just a minute George.
00:17:08.39\00:17:10.63
As he sets down the
phone and he writes her
00:17:10.67\00:17:12.78
a one million dollar check.
00:17:12.81\00:17:14.61
Spend one thousand dollars
a day and don't come back
00:17:14.65\00:17:17.75
till you've spent it
all! He says- what a deal!
00:17:17.78\00:17:21.04
How long will it take until
the wife returns for more money?
00:17:21.08\00:17:25.55
Thirty-three months.
00:17:25.58\00:17:28.36
Here she comes again!
00:17:28.40\00:17:31.11
The wife comes
back, honey darling,
00:17:31.15\00:17:32.96
I need a little more
money to go shopping!
00:17:33.00\00:17:35.12
The young husband doesn't want
to have his wife come back quite
00:17:35.16\00:17:37.37
so soon so this time he writes
her a billion dollar check,
00:17:37.40\00:17:40.92
same rules, one
thousand dollars a day,
00:17:40.95\00:17:43.16
don't come back till it's gone.
00:17:43.19\00:17:44.72
How long till his
wife comes back this time?
00:17:44.76\00:17:48.63
It took a little less than
three years to spend one million
00:17:48.67\00:17:51.53
dollars at a
thousand dollars a day.
00:17:51.56\00:17:54.01
It took 2,740 years to
spend one billion dollars.
00:17:54.04\00:17:58.38
Oh, here she comes again!
00:17:58.41\00:18:00.46
I need some more
money to go shopping dear,
00:18:00.50\00:18:06.47
I want to go shopping!
00:18:06.50\00:18:09.38
The old husband doesn't want
to see her back this time so he
00:18:09.42\00:18:13.18
writes her out a
trillion dollar check.
00:18:13.21\00:18:15.26
You know the rules: a
thousand dollars a day and
00:18:15.30\00:18:18.24
don't come back till it's gone!
00:18:18.27\00:18:19.47
How long will it be until
his wife returns for more money?
00:18:19.51\00:18:23.38
2,740,000+ years.
00:18:23.41\00:18:27.53
That's how long it will
take to spend a trillion dollars
00:18:27.57\00:18:31.34
at a thousand dollars a day.
00:18:31.37\00:18:33.02
Do the Math.
00:18:33.05\00:18:34.78
Ten followed by 123 zeros.
00:18:34.82\00:18:38.09
Another ten
followed by 240 zeros.
00:18:38.12\00:18:41.63
Another ten
followed 147 zeros years.
00:18:41.67\00:18:45.13
By their own numbers
evolutionist don't allow us
00:18:45.17\00:18:48.51
enough time to even allow
for one single cell that can
00:18:48.55\00:18:52.57
self-replicate to evolve.
00:18:52.60\00:18:55.10
According to research
conducted by NASA using the
00:18:55.14\00:18:58.05
the Hubble telescope,
astronomers now assume,
00:18:58.09\00:19:01.27
the big bang occurred
about 12 billion years ago.
00:19:01.31\00:19:04.87
According to the
American Heritage Dictionary of
00:19:04.90\00:19:08.39
Cultural Literacy the big bang
occurred 20 billion years ago.
00:19:08.43\00:19:12.88
Most evolutionary biologists
estimate that life started by
00:19:12.92\00:19:17.34
chance about 3
billion years ago.
00:19:17.37\00:19:19.44
Whether 3 or 20 billion years,
there still isn't enough time.
00:19:19.48\00:19:23.83
Let's say that at the big bang
all the material needed for life
00:19:23.86\00:19:28.18
was in one place and that
single explosion created every
00:19:28.21\00:19:31.14
amino acid needed.
00:19:31.17\00:19:32.66
It still wouldn't work.
00:19:32.70\00:19:34.50
Even 20 billion years would
not be enough time for all the
00:19:34.54\00:19:38.03
left-handed amino acids that
were needed for life to come
00:19:38.07\00:19:41.53
together.
00:19:41.56\00:19:42.60
Twenty billion years would
not be enough time for them all
00:19:42.64\00:19:45.85
to line up in
just the right order.
00:19:45.88\00:19:47.83
20 billion years would not
be enough time to create one
00:19:47.87\00:19:51.38
DNA strand.
00:19:51.41\00:19:52.75
That would take a lot more than
ten followed by 147 zeros years.
00:19:52.79\00:19:57.89
The only reason someone would
deliberately promote a lie is if
00:19:57.92\00:20:02.99
there is something to gain.
00:20:03.02\00:20:04.37
The tobacco industry
says, strong, mature, grown-up,
00:20:04.41\00:20:09.01
even sexy.
00:20:09.04\00:20:10.01
But cancer, emphysema,
and lung disease are none of
00:20:10.05\00:20:14.69
these things.
00:20:14.72\00:20:16.02
The real reason the tobacco
industry continues to promote
00:20:16.06\00:20:18.89
deadly lie is for ulterior
motive's and that motive
00:20:18.92\00:20:23.12
is profit.
00:20:23.15\00:20:24.38
So what is the
motive for evolution?
00:20:24.42\00:20:27.05
What would the patrons of this
theory give as their reason for
00:20:27.09\00:20:30.78
believing and promoting the
concept that we all are products
00:20:30.81\00:20:34.55
of chance, slight mutations that
accured over billions of years?
00:20:34.58\00:20:38.29
The answer is as
startling as it is revealing.
00:20:38.32\00:20:42.35
Here, in their own words, are
the self-stated motives for the
00:20:42.39\00:20:47.72
promotion of the theory.
00:20:47.75\00:20:49.38
With this simple argument
the mystery of the universe is
00:20:49.42\00:20:54.32
explained, the deity annulled,
and a new era of infinite
00:20:54.35\00:20:59.22
knowledge ushered in.
00:20:59.25\00:21:00.65
"I suppose the reason we leaped
at The Origin of Species is
00:21:00.68\00:21:05.12
because the idea of
God interfered with our
00:21:05.15\00:21:08.03
sexual mores."
00:21:08.06\00:21:09.19
"I had motives for not wanting
the world to have meaning;
00:21:09.23\00:21:13.12
consequently assumed it had
none, and was able without any
00:21:13.15\00:21:17.35
difficulty to find satisfying
reasons for this assumption...
00:21:17.38\00:21:21.57
For myself, as no doubt
for most of my contemporaries,
00:21:21.60\00:21:26.24
the philosophy of
meaninglessness was essentially
00:21:26.27\00:21:30.44
an instrument of liberation.
00:21:30.47\00:21:31.89
The liberation we desired was
simultaneously liberation from
00:21:31.93\00:21:37.00
a certain
political and economic system
00:21:37.03\00:21:39.49
and liberation from a
certain system of morality.
00:21:39.53\00:21:43.48
Their motives in their own
words are summarized simply.
00:21:43.52\00:21:48.62
We don't want to believe in God.
00:21:48.65\00:21:50.66
If we are created by a
superior being, then we must be
00:21:50.70\00:21:54.46
responsible to
His laws of morality.
00:21:54.49\00:21:57.33
We can't have sex
with whomever we want,
00:21:57.37\00:22:00.18
whenever we want.
00:22:00.21\00:22:01.18
If there is a higher power
then we must be accountable.
00:22:01.19\00:22:04.65
But if we can create a reason
for our existence that makes us
00:22:04.69\00:22:08.95
a product of chance then we have
no responsibility to be obedient
00:22:08.98\00:22:13.21
to society's
rules or God's laws.
00:22:13.24\00:22:16.47
Many other famous
Darwinists have been atheists.
00:22:16.51\00:22:19.40
Francis Crick, co-discoverer
of the double helix,
00:22:19.43\00:22:22.29
was a signer of the
Humanist Manifesto, which is a
00:22:22.33\00:22:25.40
foundational document of a
major atheist organization.
00:22:25.44\00:22:28.48
Harvard's Richard Lewontin
and Stephen Gould, both leading
00:22:28.51\00:22:32.52
biological evolutionists,
proudly claimed Marxist,
00:22:32.55\00:22:35.79
or atheistic, inspiration
for their biological theories.
00:22:35.83\00:22:39.83
In my search for truth I may
not know who or what created me.
00:22:39.87\00:22:44.77
He, she, it may not
even be a nice "person".
00:22:44.80\00:22:48.76
But from the evidence I
know whoever the creator is,
00:22:48.80\00:22:52.41
the creator is incredibly
brilliant beyond our human
00:22:52.45\00:22:56.03
capability of understanding.
00:22:56.06\00:22:57.73
Does it seem wise, is
it reasonable to ignore the
00:22:57.76\00:23:02.23
glaring evidence?
00:23:02.26\00:23:03.37
Because we don't want to be
moral, because we don't want
00:23:03.40\00:23:06.71
to be accountable, is that a
good enough reason to dismiss
00:23:06.75\00:23:10.05
the notion of God?
00:23:10.08\00:23:11.44
The Judeo-Christian
philosopher, Paul, said...
00:23:11.48\00:23:15.96
Furthermore, since they did not
think it worthwhile to retain
00:23:16.00\00:23:20.57
the knowledge of God,
he gave them over to a
00:23:20.60\00:23:23.43
depraved mind, to do
what ought not to be done.
00:23:23.47\00:23:26.25
They have become filled with
every kind of wickedness, evil,
00:23:26.29\00:23:31.04
greed and depravity.
00:23:31.07\00:23:32.69
They are full of envy, murder,
strife, deceit and malice.
00:23:32.73\00:23:37.04
They are gossips, slanderers,
God-haters, insolent,
00:23:37.07\00:23:40.65
arrogant and boastful;
they invent ways of doing evil;
00:23:40.68\00:23:44.75
they disobey their parents;
they are senseless, faithless,
00:23:44.78\00:23:48.82
heartless, and ruthless.
00:23:48.85\00:23:50.95
Although they know God's
righteous decree that those who
00:23:50.99\00:23:55.03
do such things deserve death,
they not only continue to do
00:23:55.07\00:23:59.08
these very things but
also approve of those who
00:23:59.11\00:24:03.02
practice them.
00:24:03.05\00:24:04.02
So what are the results of
teaching our young people that
00:24:04.03\00:24:06.97
they came from slime and
that they'll return to slime
00:24:07.00\00:24:09.97
and that will be that.
00:24:10.00\00:24:11.15
What is the result of teaching
our young people that they are
00:24:11.19\00:24:14.27
a product of
random selection - chance,
00:24:14.30\00:24:17.05
instead of a wonderful creation,
made by a God who wants to
00:24:17.09\00:24:20.79
have fellowship with us?
00:24:20.82\00:24:21.79
Current Statistics tell us
that we have an epidemic on
00:24:21.82\00:24:25.80
on our hands.
00:24:25.83\00:24:26.80
Suicide is currently the third
leading cause of death among
00:24:26.84\00:24:30.16
teenagers in the United States.
00:24:30.19\00:24:31.16
It is estimated that 300 to
400 teen suicides occur per year
00:24:31.17\00:24:35.35
in Los Angeles County
alone; this is equivalent to one
00:24:35.38\00:24:38.94
one teenager lost every day.
00:24:38.97\00:24:41.20
Evidence indicates that
for every suicide, there are
00:24:41.24\00:24:44.60
50 to 100 attempts at suicide
and due to the stigma associated
00:24:44.64\00:24:48.78
with suicide,
available statistics may well
00:24:48.81\00:24:50.98
underestimate the problem.
00:24:51.01\00:24:52.45
Nevertheless, these figures
do underscore the urgent need
00:24:52.49\00:24:55.92
to seek a solution to
the suicide epidemic among
00:24:55.95\00:24:58.96
our young people.
00:24:58.99\00:24:59.96
The first solution is to
quit telling them they evolved.
00:24:59.97\00:25:03.22
When young people believe
that they came from nothing
00:25:03.25\00:25:06.54
and are going to nothing it
is logical for them to conclude
00:25:06.58\00:25:09.93
their life means nothing.
00:25:09.96\00:25:11.31
Quit telling them they
are a freak chance of nature.
00:25:11.35\00:25:14.73
Show them the wonderful pattern.
00:25:14.76\00:25:16.48
Tell them what the Psalmist
realized a long time ago when
00:25:16.52\00:25:20.56
he said: "I will
praise You, for I am
00:25:20.59\00:25:23.20
fearfully and wonderfully made;
00:25:23.23\00:25:24.81
Marvelous are Your works, And
that my soul knows very well."
00:25:24.85\00:25:29.70
"For you created my inmost
being; you knit me together
00:25:29.73\00:25:33.53
in my mother's womb."
00:25:33.56\00:25:35.54
Newton's third law
of motion states that,
00:25:35.58\00:25:38.35
"for every action there is
an equal and opposite reaction."
00:25:38.39\00:25:41.57
So tell our young people
that this life is just a passing
00:25:41.60\00:25:44.75
moment, a random
chance of nature.
00:25:44.78\00:25:46.86
And for this action see if we
don't have a negative reaction.
00:25:46.89\00:25:51.00
Over 1,350,000 abortions
are performed every year in the
00:25:51.03\00:25:56.47
the United States.
00:25:56.50\00:25:57.47
That's 3,700 lives every day
snuffed out, cut short, gone.
00:25:57.48\00:26:02.73
And why not, if we are
only a freak of nature,
00:26:02.76\00:26:05.64
an accident of chance.
00:26:05.67\00:26:06.90
If Darwin was right, and it
is the survival of the fittest
00:26:06.93\00:26:09.65
then who cares?
00:26:09.68\00:26:10.93
It doesn't matter.
00:26:10.96\00:26:12.14
If a mom can kill my sister,
than why can't I kill myself?
00:26:12.18\00:26:15.40
If Dad and Mom can kill
my brother than why should I
00:26:15.43\00:26:19.02
value human life?
00:26:19.05\00:26:20.78
But we didn't evolve.
00:26:20.81\00:26:22.47
The pattern tells us
that there is a pattern maker.
00:26:22.51\00:26:26.51
I believe He sent us this
message through His servant
00:26:26.54\00:26:30.51
Jeremiah.
00:26:30.54\00:26:31.51
"... I have loved you
with an everlasting love;
00:26:31.52\00:26:35.14
therefore with loving
kindness I have drawn you."
00:26:35.18\00:26:38.91
"For I know the
plans I have for you,"
00:26:38.94\00:26:41.89
declares the LORD,
"plans to prosper you and
00:26:41.93\00:26:45.85
not to harm you, plans to
give you hope and a future.
00:26:45.89\00:26:49.63
[so] call upon me
and come and pray to me,
00:26:49.66\00:26:53.01
and I will listen to you."
00:26:53.04\00:26:56.41
This is the truth
that changes people.
00:26:56.45\00:27:00.92
This is the truth that makes
them different, kinder, better.
00:27:00.96\00:27:06.94
It is time for us
Americans to be honest.
00:27:06.97\00:27:10.83
If we don't like God, if
we don't want to serve Him,
00:27:10.87\00:27:14.40
then just say that.
00:27:14.43\00:27:15.58
But we shouldn't try to find
some lame excuse that show our
00:27:15.62\00:27:19.78
ignorance, foolishness
and perhaps, even, stupidity.
00:27:19.81\00:27:24.06
We did not evolve.
00:27:24.09\00:27:26.22
I'll freely admit that it
takes faith to believe that
00:27:26.26\00:27:29.38
there is a Creator.
00:27:29.41\00:27:30.38
But it is a faith based
on the reality of evidence.
00:27:30.42\00:27:33.74
It takes blind faith
to believe in evolution.
00:27:33.77\00:27:38.55
We are in trouble as a nation.
00:27:38.58\00:27:41.19
Our morals are
bankrupt, we are evolving,
00:27:41.23\00:27:44.30
but in a downward
spiral of degeneration.
00:27:44.33\00:27:48.43
Is there any hope?
00:27:48.46\00:27:50.55
I believe there is.
00:27:50.59\00:27:52.65
A complex design causes each
of us to come to the conclusion
00:27:52.68\00:27:57.59
that there was
a master designer.
00:27:57.62\00:28:00.37
No reasonable person would
suggest that the coliseum in
00:28:00.41\00:28:04.02
Rome did evolve or even could
evolve no matter how much time
00:28:04.06\00:28:08.20
was given.
00:28:08.23\00:28:09.20
But who is the creator?
00:28:09.21\00:28:11.24
Can we know him, her or it?
00:28:11.27\00:28:13.39
Is the creator an intelligent
being or merely a universal
00:28:13.43\00:28:17.34
force?
00:28:17.37\00:28:18.43
Next time in our Search for the
Truth Charles will be taking us
00:28:18.47\00:28:21.82
to the Middle East where he will
again look critically for the
00:28:21.85\00:28:25.17
to these questions.

Join our search for the
truth next time as we find
00:28:26.94\00:28:30.24
the creator's
message in a bottle.
