In Revelation 4, we discover
00:00:18.27\00:00:23.27
one of the two main
reasons that we worship God.
00:00:23.30\00:00:29.41
In Revelation 4, John
was envision in the spirit
00:00:29.44\00:00:34.99
and verse 2, he says,
00:00:35.02\00:00:36.85
"There before me
was a throne in heaven
00:00:36.88\00:00:41.93
and someone was
sitting on the throne.
00:00:41.96\00:00:45.67
He described him
and went on to say,
00:00:45.70\00:00:48.80
in the center around the throne
were four living creatures."
00:00:48.83\00:00:55.47
And verse 9, "Whenever the
living creatures give glory,
00:00:55.50\00:00:58.83
honor and thanks to
him who sat on the throne
00:00:58.86\00:01:01.90
and who lives for ever and ever,
00:01:01.93\00:01:04.79
the twenty-four elders
fall down and worship him."
00:01:04.82\00:01:12.79
Now, why do they worship
the one sitting on the throne?
00:01:12.82\00:01:20.79
Listen they say, verse 11,
00:01:20.82\00:01:25.51
"You are worthy,
our Lord and God,
00:01:25.54\00:01:30.56
to receive glory
and honor and power,
00:01:30.59\00:01:34.66
because you created all things,
00:01:34.69\00:01:39.29
and by your will they were
created and have their being."
00:01:39.32\00:01:45.59
We worship God
because He is the Creator
00:01:45.62\00:01:51.54
of the heavens and the earth
00:01:51.57\00:01:54.74
and all of the beings in heaven
00:01:54.77\00:01:59.10
adore and praise and honor God
00:01:59.13\00:02:03.05
because they know
He is their Creator.
00:02:03.08\00:02:08.46
In Revelation 13:8,
"All of the inhabitants
00:02:08.49\00:02:14.27
of the earth
will worship the beast
00:02:14.30\00:02:19.06
except for those
whose names are written
00:02:19.09\00:02:20.52
in the book of life
belonging to the Lamb,
00:02:20.55\00:02:22.61
in the heavenly
circles all living beings
00:02:22.64\00:02:25.97
worship the
Creator, but on the earth
00:02:26.00\00:02:29.77
they worship the
beast who is the creature.
00:02:29.80\00:02:35.33
And I want to tell you
that, that is the focal point.
00:02:35.36\00:02:39.11
That is the issue of
the Book of Revelation.
00:02:39.14\00:02:41.92
Read through the
Book of Revelation
00:02:41.95\00:02:43.95
and over and over again,
00:02:43.98\00:02:45.61
this word
appears, the word worship.
00:02:45.64\00:02:48.15
We worship the Creator
and the issue in Revelation
00:02:48.18\00:02:52.02
is the worship
of the Creator God
00:02:52.05\00:02:55.16
or the worship of the creature.
00:02:55.19\00:02:57.74
The beast is the creatures.
00:02:57.77\00:03:01.25
And practically the whole
world worships the creature.
00:03:01.28\00:03:04.97
In the mid 1880's,
modern science joined hands
00:03:07.68\00:03:15.66
with God's church, infiltrating
the ranks of God's people
00:03:15.69\00:03:20.64
with a new philosophy that
will undermine God's authority
00:03:20.67\00:03:25.24
as the Creator of the
heavens and the earth.
00:03:25.27\00:03:28.88
In the mid
1880's, Charles Darwin
00:03:28.91\00:03:32.95
published his book,
'The Origin of Species'
00:03:32.98\00:03:36.55
popularizing the
theory of evolution
00:03:36.58\00:03:40.53
and since that
time neither the world
00:03:40.56\00:03:44.00
nor the church
have been the same.
00:03:44.03\00:03:47.56
Satan knew that if
he was ever to receive
00:03:51.70\00:03:57.19
the allegiance of those who
want to be the people of God
00:03:57.22\00:04:02.44
he must somehow
obscure the significance,
00:04:02.47\00:04:07.70
the authority of
God as the Creator.
00:04:07.73\00:04:11.06
But God wasn't
caught by surprise.
00:04:14.91\00:04:17.90
Revelation 14:6, "I saw another
angel flying in the midair,
00:04:21.59\00:04:26.85
he had the eternal
gospel to proclaim to those
00:04:26.88\00:04:29.89
who live on the
earth, to every nation,
00:04:29.92\00:04:32.37
tribe, language and people.
00:04:32.40\00:04:34.76
Every living being on this earth
00:04:34.79\00:04:37.15
and he said in a loud voice
Fear God and give Him glory
00:04:37.18\00:04:41.77
because the hour of
his judgment has come."
00:04:41.80\00:04:44.39
We are close to the very end.
00:04:44.42\00:04:46.51
This is God's special message
crafted for the end times
00:04:46.54\00:04:50.76
and listen to what it says,
"Worship him." Worship who?
00:04:50.79\00:04:57.44
"Worship him who made
the heavens, the earth,
00:04:57.47\00:05:01.60
the sea and all
that is in them."
00:05:01.63\00:05:04.91
Worship the Creator of
the heavens and the earth.
00:05:04.94\00:05:08.33
At the same time
that Satan is trying
00:05:08.36\00:05:10.74
to turn the attention of
the world away from the Creator
00:05:10.77\00:05:14.06
towards man, towards himself.
00:05:14.09\00:05:17.63
God has a message,
worship the Creator
00:05:17.66\00:05:25.51
of the heavens, the earth,
00:05:25.54\00:05:26.88
the sea and all that is in them.
00:05:26.91\00:05:28.65
You see the last
book in the Bible
00:05:28.68\00:05:31.95
points us all the way back
to the first verse in the Bible.
00:05:31.98\00:05:38.50
Look at it with me, Genesis 1:1.
00:05:38.53\00:05:45.38
"In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth."
00:05:45.41\00:05:50.76
The Bible tells us clearly,
00:05:50.79\00:05:52.76
"God created the
heavens and the earth
00:05:52.79\00:05:56.21
and there was darkness
over the surface of the earth,
00:05:56.24\00:05:58.91
And God said, let there
be light and there was light.
00:05:58.94\00:06:04.34
And there was evening
00:06:04.37\00:06:05.69
and there was
morning, the first day."
00:06:05.72\00:06:10.24
Now you need to
understand something
00:06:10.27\00:06:11.98
that if you can
read this in the Hebrew.
00:06:12.01\00:06:13.87
the Hebrew words
are a Ereb, boqer
00:06:13.90\00:06:16.53
there was a ereb,
boqer, evening, morning
00:06:16.56\00:06:20.33
the first day ereb, evening,
the dark part of the day.
00:06:20.36\00:06:25.15
Boqer, morning, the
light part of the day.
00:06:25.18\00:06:28.50
There was the dark part,
there was the light part.
00:06:28.53\00:06:31.67
One day, there is no way
00:06:31.70\00:06:34.18
that God could
have said it any clearer
00:06:34.21\00:06:36.82
that He is talking
about the same kind of day
00:06:36.85\00:06:40.22
that we have today,
a literal 24 hour day.
00:06:40.25\00:06:46.69
And then the Bible says,
00:06:46.72\00:06:47.75
on the second
day God made the sky
00:06:47.78\00:06:50.27
and there was erab, boqer,
evening, morning the second day.
00:06:50.30\00:06:54.77
And then on the third day,
00:06:54.80\00:06:56.05
God caused the
dry ground to appear
00:06:56.08\00:06:58.37
and the trees and the plants,
the vegetation, the flowers
00:06:58.40\00:07:02.04
and there was evening
00:07:02.07\00:07:03.34
and there was
morning the third day.
00:07:03.37\00:07:06.39
Tell me something.
00:07:08.95\00:07:11.62
If there had been a team of
scientists present on that day
00:07:11.65\00:07:18.36
and they saw this tree
that God had just made.
00:07:18.39\00:07:24.36
And they walk up to
the tree and drill into it,
00:07:24.39\00:07:28.07
extracting a
core, counting the rings
00:07:28.10\00:07:31.66
how old do you think
00:07:31.69\00:07:33.52
the scientist
would say the tree was?
00:07:33.55\00:07:37.52
You see science can't always
account for the things of God.
00:07:40.29\00:07:46.27
I'm not putting down
science but I'm lifting up God.
00:07:46.30\00:07:52.50
And then God created the sun,
the moon, the stars, the planets
00:07:55.78\00:08:02.48
and there was evening
00:08:02.51\00:08:03.62
and there was
morning, the fourth day.
00:08:03.65\00:08:07.26
God created the
universe on the fourth day,
00:08:07.29\00:08:10.65
one evening, one morning
00:08:10.68\00:08:12.28
and then God filled
the waters with the fish
00:08:12.31\00:08:15.40
and He filled the
air with the birds
00:08:15.43\00:08:17.75
and there was evening
00:08:17.78\00:08:18.86
and there was
morning, the fifth day.
00:08:18.89\00:08:23.23
How long did it take
for God to make a bird?
00:08:23.26\00:08:26.44
One evening, one
morning, fifth day.
00:08:29.43\00:08:36.64
And then on the sixth
day God made the wild animals
00:08:36.67\00:08:42.26
according to their kinds.
00:08:42.29\00:08:44.62
I don't see room here for
any kind of interpretation
00:08:47.56\00:08:51.25
that allows for millions
of years of time to pass
00:08:51.28\00:08:55.69
with the survival of the fittest
00:08:55.72\00:08:57.87
and the struggle to
survive with animals
00:08:57.90\00:09:01.19
living and dying
and living and dying
00:09:01.22\00:09:04.17
and killing and
struggling to survive.
00:09:04.20\00:09:06.81
I don't see anything like that.
00:09:06.84\00:09:08.61
I don't see
randomness in this chapter.
00:09:08.64\00:09:10.88
I see order, I
see a God of power,
00:09:10.91\00:09:13.75
who orderly brought
things into existence,
00:09:13.78\00:09:16.40
not by chance but by design.
00:09:16.43\00:09:21.38
And then on the sixth
day, in verse 26, God said,
00:09:21.41\00:09:26.51
"Let us make man in our image."
00:09:26.54\00:09:34.51
Chapter 2:7, "The Lord God
00:09:38.82\00:09:40.77
formed the man from
the dust of the ground
00:09:40.80\00:09:44.19
and breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life,
00:09:44.22\00:09:47.96
and the man
became a living soul."
00:09:47.99\00:09:53.48
You know, there is
something that escapes us
00:09:57.88\00:10:00.29
if we don't
know a little Hebrew.
00:10:00.32\00:10:04.44
You see in Genesis 1, the
word used for God is Elohim,
00:10:04.47\00:10:11.66
a word that is filled with
00:10:11.69\00:10:14.22
an expression of
the power of God.
00:10:14.25\00:10:19.87
But when we get to Genesis 2,
00:10:19.90\00:10:23.72
where it describes
God forming the man,
00:10:23.75\00:10:27.95
He didn't just say
tree and there is a tree,
00:10:27.98\00:10:33.44
sun and there is a sun,
giraffe and there is a giraffe,
00:10:33.47\00:10:38.92
hippo and there is a hippo,
00:10:38.95\00:10:40.98
He didn't do it that way,
00:10:41.01\00:10:42.92
says the Lord God formed man.
00:10:45.94\00:10:50.43
He knelt down and
with His own hands
00:10:50.46\00:10:53.16
tenderly,
lovingly, shaped his body
00:10:53.19\00:10:56.69
from the dust of
the ground, bent over
00:10:56.72\00:11:00.70
and gave it the kiss of life
00:11:00.73\00:11:04.14
and it became a living being.
00:11:04.17\00:11:10.87
What a picture of God and
what you miss in the English
00:11:10.90\00:11:14.25
it uses a different
word for the name of God,
00:11:14.28\00:11:20.26
it uses the Hebrew word that
we think is pronounced Yahweh.
00:11:20.29\00:11:25.43
The covenant
God, the loving God,
00:11:25.46\00:11:29.52
the God who would
come and die on the cross
00:11:29.55\00:11:33.27
to save the creatures He
had just made, what a God.
00:11:33.30\00:11:40.00
In Genesis 2:1, "Thus
the heavens and the earth
00:11:42.20\00:11:46.45
were completed
in their vast array.
00:11:46.48\00:11:50.42
And by the seventh
day God had finished
00:11:50.45\00:11:54.11
the work He had been doing,
00:11:54.14\00:11:55.98
so on the
seventh day he rested."
00:11:56.01\00:11:58.81
He put an exclamation
point beside the word finish.
00:11:58.84\00:12:03.16
He rested, God was done
creating after the seventh day
00:12:03.19\00:12:08.28
that does not leave room
for millions and millions
00:12:08.31\00:12:11.54
and millions of
years of evolution,
00:12:11.57\00:12:14.19
it's just supposed to
be still going on today.
00:12:14.22\00:12:17.56
He was finished
after the sixth day.
00:12:17.59\00:12:24.32
I believe the Bible
account of creation.
00:12:24.35\00:12:29.17
I believe that
God made this world
00:12:29.20\00:12:32.58
in six literal 24 hour days
00:12:32.61\00:12:36.35
and on the seventh day
00:12:36.38\00:12:37.75
God finished His
work, I believe that.
00:12:37.78\00:12:43.59
And I believe that it's
essential to believe that,
00:12:43.62\00:12:46.66
if you are even
going to understand
00:12:46.69\00:12:49.07
the Book of
Revelation, the last book.
00:12:49.10\00:12:53.93
Because God is going to
recreate this world again
00:12:57.13\00:13:04.18
just like He intended for
it to be at the beginning,
00:13:04.21\00:13:08.25
Bible writers all believed
it and they all talked about it.
00:13:08.28\00:13:12.52
One of my favorite
places is in Psalm 33:6,
00:13:12.55\00:13:16.89
"By the word of the
Lord were the heavens made,
00:13:16.92\00:13:19.54
the starry host by
the breath of his mouth."
00:13:19.57\00:13:22.84
He spoke, verse 9, and
he came to be he commanded
00:13:22.87\00:13:26.53
and it stood firm." What power?
00:13:26.56\00:13:28.91
I remember years ago
00:13:32.11\00:13:33.41
when the last Star
Wars movie came out,
00:13:33.44\00:13:36.55
some of you-- you remember that?
00:13:36.58\00:13:38.03
They showed a news clip on
television, people lining up
00:13:38.06\00:13:40.93
block after
block around the block
00:13:40.96\00:13:42.82
waiting to get
in to see Star Wars,
00:13:42.85\00:13:46.19
so you could see the force.
00:13:46.22\00:13:50.92
This is the force
00:13:50.95\00:13:55.07
a God whose very
word has the power
00:13:55.10\00:13:59.38
to make that word happen.
00:13:59.41\00:14:04.06
If He wants a tree,
He says the word tree
00:14:04.09\00:14:06.58
and in the word is the
power for the tree to appear.
00:14:06.61\00:14:10.53
Now that's force.
00:14:10.56\00:14:13.13
He wants a universe He
says universe and it's there.
00:14:13.16\00:14:17.81
Star War says
nothing on our God.
00:14:17.84\00:14:21.16
I believe the Bible account.
00:14:25.88\00:14:28.30
I believe it's essential in
order to understand Revelation,
00:14:28.33\00:14:32.21
but I want to tell
you, it's not popular today.
00:14:32.24\00:14:36.03
In fact, your
children are being taught
00:14:36.06\00:14:39.70
something entirely different
in the public school systems.
00:14:39.73\00:14:45.41
Your children are being taught
that life as we know it today
00:14:45.44\00:14:49.01
is not the result of
an intelligent loving God
00:14:49.04\00:14:52.20
but it's a result of accident,
chance, survival of the fittest,
00:14:52.23\00:14:56.50
living and dying and killing
00:14:56.53\00:14:58.20
and living and
dying and killing.
00:14:58.23\00:15:00.21
You have heard of
the Big Bang Theory.
00:15:00.24\00:15:03.60
I believe in
the Big Bang Theory.
00:15:03.63\00:15:07.80
God said it and
bang, it happened.
00:15:07.83\00:15:10.63
They don't teach it
that way in the schools,
00:15:12.45\00:15:15.26
they just say it happened.
00:15:15.29\00:15:16.73
Well, what
happened? What was the bang?
00:15:16.76\00:15:20.15
What was there before the bang?
00:15:20.18\00:15:21.65
What made it bang?
00:15:21.68\00:15:25.31
You see, they
can't teach them that.
00:15:25.34\00:15:28.00
But we know and
the tragedy is that
00:15:28.03\00:15:35.08
in teaching the
theory of evolution
00:15:35.11\00:15:37.98
as though it
were a scientific fact
00:15:38.01\00:15:41.03
and as though
anyone else who believe,
00:15:41.06\00:15:43.38
anyone who believe
something different was ignorant
00:15:43.41\00:15:48.69
is setting your children up
00:15:48.72\00:15:51.98
to worship the
creature instead of the Creator.
00:15:52.01\00:15:56.18
And to take the
mark of the creature
00:15:59.65\00:16:03.33
which is the mark of the beast.
00:16:03.36\00:16:05.82
That's why, folks, we
are going to take some time
00:16:05.85\00:16:09.18
to divert our
attention a little bit.
00:16:09.21\00:16:12.30
In the world today,
00:16:12.33\00:16:13.94
the issues that are threatening
your children and even you
00:16:13.97\00:16:16.84
to divert your attention
away from God's authority
00:16:16.87\00:16:20.13
as a Creator of the
heavens and the earth,
00:16:20.16\00:16:22.57
we are going to
take a little time.
00:16:22.60\00:16:25.73
Because anyone
who tends to believe
00:16:25.76\00:16:27.56
anything other than
the theory of evolution
00:16:27.59\00:16:30.01
is considered an
ignorant, a moron.
00:16:30.04\00:16:33.22
In fact Richard Dawkins wrote,
00:16:33.25\00:16:35.85
he is a famous
atheistic evolutionist,
00:16:35.88\00:16:38.17
he said, "If you meet somebody
00:16:38.20\00:16:40.02
who claims not to
believe in evolution
00:16:40.05\00:16:42.17
that person is
ignorant, stupid or insane."
00:16:42.20\00:16:48.29
And then he added, "Or wicked,
00:16:48.32\00:16:51.17
but rather not considers that."
00:16:51.20\00:16:53.54
Why not? Because he can't.
00:16:53.57\00:16:58.48
Because I'm going to show
you if you believe in evolution
00:16:58.51\00:17:00.33
there is no
such thing as wicked.
00:17:00.36\00:17:02.05
But that comes a little later,
may be you had never heard of
00:17:05.08\00:17:09.02
Dr. Phillip Johnson
of California, Berkeley,
00:17:09.05\00:17:12.71
who assembled the
team of famous scientist
00:17:12.74\00:17:15.61
in June of 1993 at
Pajaro Dunes, California,
00:17:15.64\00:17:20.30
these scientists,
men like Jonathan Wells,
00:17:20.33\00:17:22.58
William Dembski, Michael Behe,
00:17:22.61\00:17:25.44
who wrote "Darwin's Black Box"
00:17:25.47\00:17:27.39
and stood the
scientific world upside down
00:17:27.42\00:17:31.05
with his
irreducibly complex system.
00:17:31.08\00:17:34.24
He discovered that life consists
of systems that are so complex,
00:17:34.27\00:17:39.31
if you break them
down to their basic pieces,
00:17:39.34\00:17:41.82
if you take away
anyone of those pieces
00:17:41.85\00:17:44.00
it would cease to function
therefore it was impossible
00:17:44.03\00:17:47.08
to be result of a
gradual process of evolution.
00:17:47.11\00:17:51.82
There is still no good answer
for irreducibly complexity today
00:17:51.85\00:17:55.20
they think they
have, but they haven't.
00:17:55.23\00:17:56.99
May be you would have
never heard of these men
00:18:00.45\00:18:02.72
who are dissatisfied with
Darwin's approach to evolution
00:18:02.75\00:18:06.70
and left the Pajaro
Dunes Conference in agreement
00:18:06.73\00:18:10.53
that life as we know it today
00:18:10.56\00:18:12.30
must be the result of
an intelligent designer.
00:18:12.33\00:18:17.39
That's exactly
what Michael Behe said.
00:18:17.42\00:18:20.44
He concluded in his
book Darwin's Black Box.
00:18:20.47\00:18:23.06
"Life on earth at its
most fundamental level,
00:18:23.09\00:18:25.05
in its most critical components,
00:18:25.08\00:18:26.51
is the product of
intelligent activity.
00:18:26.54\00:18:29.38
The conclusion of
intelligent design
00:18:29.41\00:18:32.43
flows naturally from
the scientific data itself
00:18:32.46\00:18:36.30
and not from sacred books."
00:18:36.33\00:18:38.34
We didn't get it from the Bible,
00:18:38.37\00:18:39.83
we got it from nature
and the study of science
00:18:39.86\00:18:42.55
pointing to an
intelligent designer.
00:18:42.58\00:18:47.16
Are these men stupid,
are these men ignorant,
00:18:47.19\00:18:50.51
are these men insane or evil?
00:18:50.54\00:18:55.93
And then may be
our friend Dawkins
00:18:55.98\00:19:00.08
forgot about the Heisenberg's
uncertainty principle.
00:19:00.11\00:19:03.07
In 1927, the German
scientist Heisenberg discovered
00:19:03.10\00:19:06.82
that you can't measure both
00:19:06.85\00:19:08.72
the position and the velocity
of a subatomic particle.
00:19:08.75\00:19:14.94
If you measure its position
00:19:14.97\00:19:16.48
then you can't know
its velocity precisely,
00:19:16.51\00:19:19.05
if you measure its velocity,
00:19:19.08\00:19:20.76
you can't know
exactly where it is.
00:19:20.79\00:19:23.99
And therefore he said,
"The measuring or observing
00:19:24.02\00:19:27.62
of a subatomic
particle not only determines
00:19:27.65\00:19:31.54
where it's going to go but
collapses it into existence.
00:19:31.57\00:19:35.75
The particle doesn't
exist until someone observes it.
00:19:35.78\00:19:39.18
And it's forcing scientists
to rethink some things,
00:19:43.81\00:19:50.33
Dr. Paul Davies wrote
in his book the New Physics
00:19:50.36\00:19:52.86
in a chapter
called the Quantum Factor.
00:19:52.89\00:19:54.87
You can always claim that
00:19:54.90\00:19:56.23
everything you
perceive is real, is there
00:19:56.26\00:19:58.42
because there
exists a larger system
00:19:58.45\00:20:01.14
which collapses
what you see into reality
00:20:01.17\00:20:04.07
by measuring or observing it.
00:20:04.10\00:20:07.55
And this isn't science fiction,
00:20:07.58\00:20:09.34
this is science,
quantum mechanics.
00:20:09.37\00:20:13.46
He said in recent years,
physicists have been interested
00:20:13.49\00:20:16.41
in the quantum theory
of the entire universe.
00:20:16.44\00:20:20.48
By definition,
there can be nothing
00:20:23.75\00:20:25.47
outside of the
universe to collapse
00:20:25.50\00:20:27.07
the whole cosmic panorama into
existence except God, perhaps.
00:20:27.10\00:20:34.49
I could have told
him that a long time ago.
00:20:34.52\00:20:37.47
Who is the observer?
00:20:37.50\00:20:41.13
If there has to be
an observer, who is he?
00:20:41.16\00:20:44.62
The physicists conclude
00:20:44.65\00:20:46.09
there have to be observer
to measure but who is it,
00:20:46.12\00:20:48.80
they don't want
to talk about that.
00:20:48.86\00:20:52.54
But we are not afraid to.
00:20:52.57\00:20:55.14
We are not afraid
to face the facts.
00:20:55.17\00:20:56.91
I don't claim to be
able to prove to you
00:21:03.29\00:21:05.75
that the Bible
account of creation is true.
00:21:05.78\00:21:12.31
I can't prove it.
00:21:12.34\00:21:16.02
Nobody was there when
it happened, except God.
00:21:16.05\00:21:22.39
If you want to believe in
the Bible account of creation
00:21:22.42\00:21:24.63
you have to believe it by faith.
00:21:24.66\00:21:27.50
Faith in God, faith in His word.
00:21:27.53\00:21:31.01
Now I believe the
evidence points that way,
00:21:31.04\00:21:33.94
I believe that but
you can't prove it.
00:21:33.97\00:21:38.99
I don't claim to
be able to stand here
00:21:39.02\00:21:40.35
and prove the theory
of evolution is false?
00:21:40.38\00:21:43.43
Because that
can't be done either.
00:21:43.46\00:21:44.89
But I do want to show you that
00:21:48.89\00:21:50.44
if you want to
believe in evolution,
00:21:50.47\00:21:51.85
you're going to have
to believe it by faith.
00:21:51.88\00:21:55.41
Evolutionist start,
Charles Darwin himself
00:21:55.44\00:21:59.66
started with the presupposition
the basic fundamental principle
00:21:59.69\00:22:04.70
that life as we know it today
through the process of evolution
00:22:04.73\00:22:08.12
happen without any
supernatural input whatsoever.
00:22:08.15\00:22:12.67
Now how does he know
that? He didn't know that.
00:22:12.70\00:22:17.49
He took that position by faith,
00:22:17.52\00:22:21.27
faith in chance,
faith in miracles,
00:22:21.30\00:22:24.76
instead of faith in the
loving, all knowing Creator God.
00:22:24.79\00:22:28.04
God warns us about things
like the theory of evolution,
00:22:35.42\00:22:43.42
1 Timothy 6,
Paul wrote, Timothy,
00:22:43.45\00:22:49.07
he said, "Be on
your guard, Timothy,
00:22:49.10\00:22:53.33
with what is been in
entrusted to your care.
00:22:53.36\00:22:55.80
Turn away from godless chatter
00:22:55.83\00:22:59.17
and the opposing ideas of
what is falsely called science,
00:22:59.20\00:23:05.40
which some have professed
00:23:05.43\00:23:06.50
and in so doing have
wandered from the faith."
00:23:06.53\00:23:10.61
Watch out for what is falsely
called knowledge or science.
00:23:10.64\00:23:14.84
And I want to tell you tonight
00:23:14.87\00:23:16.86
that evolution is
falsely called science.
00:23:16.89\00:23:22.07
And that's precisely what
He is talking about to Timothy.
00:23:22.10\00:23:25.86
Watch out for
those kinds of thoughts,
00:23:25.89\00:23:28.57
those kinds of philosophies,
those kinds of ideas.
00:23:28.60\00:23:32.68
Now we find the
answer to the question?
00:23:32.71\00:23:34.58
What does a person believe it
00:23:34.61\00:23:36.86
to discoveries of modern science
contradict the word of God?
00:23:36.89\00:23:40.11
The answer is, it's not science.
00:23:40.14\00:23:44.12
If it
contradicts the word of God,
00:23:44.15\00:23:45.38
it's not science,
everything was created by God,
00:23:45.41\00:23:48.04
we know that, we
believe that by faith.
00:23:48.07\00:23:50.42
By faith the
evolutionist says no
00:23:50.45\00:23:52.46
it all happened without
God, but he doesn't know that,
00:23:52.49\00:23:55.40
it's not science,
it's a philosophy,
00:23:55.43\00:23:57.33
they put us down for bringing
faith into the classroom
00:23:57.36\00:24:00.70
when they are
doing the very same thing
00:24:00.73\00:24:02.35
on the opposite
end of the scale.
00:24:02.38\00:24:04.14
I'm not putting down science,
folks, I believe in science.
00:24:07.63\00:24:11.58
I believe in the
scientific method.
00:24:13.85\00:24:16.61
I got my degree in chemistry
00:24:16.64\00:24:19.58
and I did graduate
work in organic chemistry,
00:24:19.61\00:24:22.76
so I understand science.
00:24:22.79\00:24:25.43
I understand the
scientific method.
00:24:25.46\00:24:28.56
What I'm telling you is
evolution is not science.
00:24:28.59\00:24:32.48
It's a philosophy.
00:24:32.51\00:24:35.14
Now you may see a
pile a bone fossils
00:24:35.17\00:24:38.49
and you may study them and
scientifically analyze them
00:24:38.52\00:24:41.59
and come to the conclusion
that those are dinosaur bones
00:24:41.62\00:24:45.20
but you cannot scientifically
apply the scientific method
00:24:45.23\00:24:49.03
and come to the conclusion that,
00:24:49.06\00:24:50.62
that dinosaur came
from a flying monster bird.
00:24:50.65\00:24:56.31
You can't know how they
got there, that's faith.
00:24:56.34\00:25:01.64
Faith in chance and miracles.
00:25:01.70\00:25:03.66
By far, the
largest body of evidence
00:25:07.20\00:25:09.22
that scientist
point to in support of
00:25:09.25\00:25:11.28
theory of evolution
is the geological column
00:25:11.31\00:25:13.59
and that's not really
that hard to understand,
00:25:13.62\00:25:15.47
you have all seen pictures
of the earth sliced in half
00:25:15.50\00:25:18.76
and its looks like an
onion, all the different layers
00:25:18.80\00:25:21.98
and those layers
are different periods,
00:25:22.01\00:25:24.14
different eons of time
00:25:24.17\00:25:26.85
and the further you
go down into the earth,
00:25:26.88\00:25:28.95
the older those
layers are and they show us
00:25:28.98\00:25:32.03
that the deeper you go,
the simpler the fossils are
00:25:32.06\00:25:35.15
and as you move out to the top
00:25:35.18\00:25:36.48
the fossils get more and more
complex until on the surface,
00:25:36.51\00:25:39.98
they are all the
complex life forms right there
00:25:40.01\00:25:42.51
including the monkeys and men.
00:25:42.54\00:25:46.09
Now the problem is,
there is no place on earth
00:25:46.12\00:25:48.09
that exists exactly the way they
show it in the science books.
00:25:48.12\00:25:52.03
In fact, there are
millions and millions of acres
00:25:52.06\00:25:54.17
where just the
opposite as it is a case
00:25:54.20\00:25:56.00
and there are more complex
life forms in the deeper layers
00:25:56.03\00:25:58.89
and more simpler life
forms on the outer layers.
00:25:58.92\00:26:02.09
An impossible
dilemma for an evolutionist
00:26:02.12\00:26:04.93
who says there could not
be any complex life forms
00:26:04.96\00:26:07.97
in the deeper layers,
an impossible dilemma.
00:26:08.00\00:26:11.76
And then, what about
the Cambrian explosion?
00:26:14.52\00:26:16.70
In 1984, in Yunnan,
China, they discovered
00:26:17.60\00:26:20.65
the most extensive and
well preserved Cambrian layer
00:26:20.68\00:26:26.34
that confirmed what even
Charles Darwin himself had seen
00:26:26.37\00:26:31.59
that the Cambrian
layer contains virtually
00:26:31.62\00:26:35.08
all of the different
phyla of life that exist today
00:26:35.11\00:26:39.03
already in the Cambrian
layer with no transitory,
00:26:39.06\00:26:43.34
no fossils leading up
to its simpler fossils
00:26:43.37\00:26:47.10
they just were
there, they just appeared.
00:26:47.13\00:26:50.59
Where did they come from?
00:26:50.62\00:26:53.33
One scientist said,
well, they must have
00:26:53.36\00:26:55.97
obviously
evolved somewhere else.
00:26:56.00\00:26:59.39
But scientists had been looking
00:26:59.42\00:27:00.74
and looking and
looking for over 150 years
00:27:00.77\00:27:03.09
and they are always saying,
00:27:03.12\00:27:04.15
well, it must have
been somewhere else.
00:27:04.19\00:27:05.93
Evolution can't always
be happening somewhere else.
00:27:05.96\00:27:09.10
No one has ever seen transition
00:27:12.10\00:27:16.13
of the different kinds
of life that God created.
00:27:16.16\00:27:20.95
Cambrian layer is a real problem
00:27:24.69\00:27:27.50
for Charles
Darwin, he knew about it.
00:27:27.53\00:27:30.51
And Charles Darwin said,
00:27:30.54\00:27:32.00
if this pattern holds,
00:27:35.55\00:27:37.31
It's a genuine
argument against my theory.
00:27:37.34\00:27:41.59
Interesting, the
pattern still holds
00:27:41.62\00:27:45.25
all the basic phylums structures
00:27:45.28\00:27:48.66
almost all existed
in the Cambrian layer.
00:27:48.69\00:27:52.43
With all the
body plans and parts,
00:27:52.46\00:27:55.39
a body plan is similar to a car.
00:27:55.42\00:27:59.06
All cars have the
same basic body plan,
00:27:59.09\00:28:01.59
they have wheels,
they have an engine,
00:28:01.62\00:28:03.01
they have a steering wheel,
00:28:03.04\00:28:04.65
they have fuel tank
and an exhaust system.
00:28:04.68\00:28:07.46
My car has the same
body plan as a Rolls Royce,
00:28:11.28\00:28:16.63
even though it's
not a Rolls Royce,
00:28:16.66\00:28:19.35
it's a simple little Toyota,
but that's the way life is.
00:28:19.38\00:28:23.90
There are different animals,
00:28:23.93\00:28:24.96
all have the
same basic body plan.
00:28:24.99\00:28:26.85
And those body plans
00:28:26.88\00:28:27.91
were already present
in the Cambrian layer.
00:28:27.94\00:28:29.92
The Cambrian trilobite is just
as complex as a modern crab,
00:28:29.95\00:28:37.21
it was already there.
00:28:37.24\00:28:38.49
You see Darwin's theory is
that life began with one cell
00:28:38.52\00:28:41.24
and it began to
multiply and divide
00:28:41.27\00:28:42.87
and get more and more complex,
he called it the tree of life
00:28:42.90\00:28:45.79
and out of the outer branches
00:28:45.82\00:28:47.21
there is a more
complex forms of life.
00:28:47.24\00:28:49.02
It's a bottom up
expansion of life
00:28:49.05\00:28:51.69
but the fossil
said something else.
00:28:51.72\00:28:54.69
The fossil said, no, it's
topped down not bottom up,
00:28:54.72\00:28:58.05
because the phyla
already existed suddenly
00:28:58.08\00:29:00.63
without any
gradual leading up to it,
00:29:00.66\00:29:02.92
it was preplanned by
an intelligent designer.
00:29:02.95\00:29:06.53
The Hawkins agreed with Darwin.
00:29:09.57\00:29:12.10
He said without gradualness
we are back to a miracle.
00:29:12.13\00:29:17.79
Welcome Dawkins, I
wish he would just believe
00:29:17.82\00:29:22.05
and then there
are more problems.
00:29:22.08\00:29:25.25
Number one, D.N.A.
00:29:25.28\00:29:30.33
See, D.N.A. is a double
helix that actually determine,
00:29:30.36\00:29:35.68
it consist of amino
acids arrange in double helix
00:29:35.71\00:29:39.14
that actually determine
the production of protein.
00:29:39.17\00:29:44.19
No protein can
be made without DNA,
00:29:44.22\00:29:48.99
but DNA is a protein,
where did it come from?
00:29:49.02\00:29:56.16
And furthermore DNA
can form the protein
00:29:56.19\00:30:00.44
but it can't organize
the protein into body plans
00:30:00.47\00:30:04.19
and major parts, in a cell
00:30:04.22\00:30:07.46
in a egg the
cells begin to multiply
00:30:07.49\00:30:11.20
and as they
accumulate they migrate out
00:30:11.23\00:30:14.08
towards the outer membrane,
00:30:14.11\00:30:16.07
they line up around the
outer membrane of the cell wall.
00:30:16.10\00:30:20.24
And then without any kind
of information from the DNA
00:30:20.27\00:30:26.03
they suddenly begin to migrate
00:30:26.06\00:30:28.33
to the different
parts of the body
00:30:28.36\00:30:30.01
that they are going to become
00:30:30.04\00:30:32.16
a foot, a hand, a
eye, a heart, a brain,
00:30:32.19\00:30:35.87
it's like a band scattered
all over a football field
00:30:35.90\00:30:39.77
with a trumpet here,
and a trombone there,
00:30:39.80\00:30:41.64
and a drum here,
and a violin here,
00:30:41.67\00:30:43.46
and a flute there
and all of a sudden
00:30:43.49\00:30:45.48
the drum master gives the signal
00:30:45.51\00:30:47.27
and they all come in to
line in a perfect formation.
00:30:47.30\00:30:50.52
They are the
cells, they are out there,
00:30:50.55\00:30:52.28
the signal is
given and they all go
00:30:52.31\00:30:54.43
to right where
they are supposed to be
00:30:54.46\00:30:56.12
and that information is
not stored in the DNA alone,
00:30:56.15\00:30:59.32
no one knows where
that information comes from.
00:30:59.35\00:31:03.26
It has to come from God.
00:31:03.29\00:31:04.88
God is never embarrassed
00:31:11.64\00:31:14.30
by the evidence
like evolutionists are.
00:31:14.33\00:31:17.88
In Job 12, the
little book of Job 12.
00:31:17.91\00:31:25.30
Look at it with me.
00:31:25.33\00:31:26.37
Verse 7, "Ask the animals,
and they will teach you,
00:31:32.05\00:31:35.61
or the birds of the
air, and they will tell you
00:31:35.64\00:31:38.55
or speak to the
earth, and it will teach you,
00:31:38.58\00:31:40.23
or let the fish of
the sea inform you.
00:31:40.26\00:31:42.23
Which of all these
things does not know
00:31:42.26\00:31:44.72
that the hand of
the Lord has done this?"
00:31:44.75\00:31:48.33
Study the
animals, study the fossils,
00:31:48.36\00:31:51.14
study the fish,
the birds, study nature
00:31:51.17\00:31:55.77
and see if it doesn't point
to an intelligent Creator God.
00:31:55.80\00:31:59.70
Dr. Wernher von Braun, father of
the American space program said,
00:31:59.73\00:32:02.76
"The more we explore
the far recess of the space
00:32:02.79\00:32:05.78
the more convinced we
become of the Creator God."
00:32:05.81\00:32:10.28
God isn't
embarrassed by the evidence.
00:32:10.31\00:32:13.32
The Bible flood
explains the geological column,
00:32:13.35\00:32:17.87
different layers with
different sediment rates,
00:32:17.90\00:32:20.48
any exceptions to that?
00:32:20.51\00:32:22.18
Complex life form
in a deeper layer,
00:32:22.21\00:32:25.10
simple life form in a outer,
that easy for us to understand,
00:32:25.13\00:32:29.48
but it is an impossible
dilemma for someone saying
00:32:29.51\00:32:33.40
if there was no
complex life form
00:32:33.43\00:32:36.84
during the time of
those deeper layers.
00:32:36.87\00:32:40.00
God's never
embarrassed by the evidence.
00:32:40.03\00:32:44.41
Now I'm not trying to say that
00:32:44.44\00:32:46.98
there is no kind
of evolution at all.
00:32:47.01\00:32:51.85
I believe in
microevolution for example,
00:32:51.88\00:32:58.23
variation among
the species adaptation
00:32:58.26\00:33:01.83
that's happening, we
see it, can't deny that.
00:33:01.86\00:33:06.84
Somebody asked me,
00:33:06.87\00:33:08.00
what about the
salamander ring in California,
00:33:08.03\00:33:10.20
they are different
kind of salamanders.
00:33:10.23\00:33:13.05
I say, yeah, they are different
00:33:13.08\00:33:14.13
they change but they
are still salamanders.
00:33:14.16\00:33:16.55
We don't see them becoming
monkeys or something else,
00:33:19.37\00:33:23.89
they are still salamanders,
00:33:23.92\00:33:25.57
each produces
after its own kind.
00:33:25.60\00:33:28.63
There is
variation, I don't believe
00:33:28.66\00:33:31.28
and may be I'll
get in trouble for this
00:33:31.31\00:33:33.20
but this is what I think.
00:33:33.23\00:33:36.11
I don't believe that
God made St. Bernards
00:33:36.14\00:33:39.49
and Chihuahuas, and Poodles.
00:33:39.52\00:33:42.28
I think he made a dog,
00:33:42.31\00:33:45.05
and through the process
of mutation and variation,
00:33:45.08\00:33:47.92
we've got all the
different kinds of dogs.
00:33:47.95\00:33:51.53
But they are still
dogs, they are not cats.
00:33:51.56\00:33:54.62
They are still dogs.
00:33:54.65\00:33:57.57
Each producers
after its own kind
00:33:57.60\00:34:01.11
just the way the
Bible said it would be.
00:34:01.14\00:34:07.23
And there is another
thing about imitations, change.
00:34:07.26\00:34:11.74
A mutation always subtracts
information from the gene pool.
00:34:11.77\00:34:17.83
It never adds
information, it subtracts
00:34:17.86\00:34:23.09
in order to become a
more complex live form
00:34:23.12\00:34:25.77
it would have to add information
00:34:25.80\00:34:27.50
that no one has
ever seen that happen.
00:34:27.53\00:34:29.56
Study the earth,
study the animals
00:34:32.13\00:34:33.99
and see if this isn't the
work of an intelligent creator.
00:34:34.02\00:34:37.24
And by the way, if
you believe in evolution
00:34:37.27\00:34:39.46
that life began
with one single cell,
00:34:39.49\00:34:41.59
they got more and more complex
until we have man living today,
00:34:41.62\00:34:45.12
where did that cell come from.
00:34:45.15\00:34:48.33
No, they don't
want to talk about that.
00:34:48.36\00:34:50.05
They will say that's
origins, not evolution.
00:34:50.08\00:34:53.42
If you are going to
believe in evolution
00:34:53.45\00:34:54.87
there has to be an origin,
you can't separate the two.
00:34:54.90\00:34:57.74
Where did it come from?
00:34:57.77\00:34:59.28
Well, bolts of
lightning stuck a pool of slime
00:34:59.31\00:35:02.79
and it become a cell.
00:35:02.82\00:35:05.22
Where the lightning come from,
00:35:05.25\00:35:06.72
where the pool
of slime come from?
00:35:06.75\00:35:10.53
It's not an explanation.
00:35:10.56\00:35:14.09
If you say, well, God made it
00:35:14.12\00:35:15.95
and then He guided
the evolutionary process.
00:35:15.98\00:35:19.48
If you believe God
made the first cell,
00:35:19.51\00:35:21.43
why don't you believe everything
else God says about creation.
00:35:21.46\00:35:25.54
In six days He
finished His work,
00:35:25.57\00:35:27.72
on seventh day He rested.
00:35:27.75\00:35:29.26
Evolution is a
faith, faith in chance,
00:35:36.97\00:35:43.36
faith in miracles and
we can't compromise it
00:35:43.39\00:35:47.30
with true faith
in the word of God.
00:35:47.33\00:35:52.79
Dr. Charles Singer
confessed his faith and he said
00:35:52.82\00:35:57.05
"Evolution is perhaps unique
among major scientific theories
00:35:57.08\00:36:00.20
and that the
appeal for its acceptance
00:36:00.23\00:36:01.95
is not that there
is any evidence for it,
00:36:01.98\00:36:04.59
but that any other proposed
interpretation of the data
00:36:04.62\00:36:07.92
is just too
impossible to believe."
00:36:07.95\00:36:14.22
Amazing, isn't it? Why?
00:36:14.25\00:36:18.33
Why do they want to point
00:36:18.36\00:36:21.85
to a pool of slime
as the origin of life,
00:36:21.88\00:36:25.38
instead of the
hand of a Creator God?
00:36:25.41\00:36:29.02
Why, what's the
motivation behind it?
00:36:29.05\00:36:31.69
Not all scientists believe that.
00:36:38.40\00:36:42.00
Dr. John Moore, university,
of Michigan State University
00:36:42.03\00:36:47.73
after a debate spoke to
my father-in-law and told him
00:36:47.76\00:36:52.04
you can face
anyone in this earth
00:36:52.07\00:36:53.58
with the fact that there
is no experimental evidence
00:36:53.61\00:36:55.82
whatsoever for
evolution to have occurred.
00:36:55.85\00:36:59.01
Evolution is a
faith, a faith in chance,
00:36:59.04\00:37:01.15
a faith in miracles and
it cannot be compromised
00:37:01.18\00:37:03.67
with the one true faith
for all Christians in Christ,
00:37:03.70\00:37:06.43
faith in the wonderful words
from Genesis to Revelation.
00:37:06.46\00:37:09.78
I agree with that
scientist, what do you say?
00:37:09.81\00:37:13.46
What about Genesis
1 in science, mean it?
00:37:13.49\00:37:16.51
Moses, Moses wasn't
a scientist they say,
00:37:16.54\00:37:20.54
may be he didn't
know what he was--
00:37:20.57\00:37:22.64
he was just writing poetically
00:37:22.67\00:37:24.38
to describe the
process of evolution,
00:37:24.41\00:37:26.85
it doesn't sound
like it when you read it.
00:37:26.88\00:37:29.38
And Jesus didn't believe that.
00:37:31.09\00:37:34.04
Jesus said, "If you
don't believe Moses,
00:37:34.07\00:37:36.74
you can't believe
me." In John 5:47.
00:37:36.77\00:37:40.61
Jesus believed Moses.
00:37:40.64\00:37:43.81
In fact, when
they challenged Him
00:37:43.84\00:37:46.04
about marriage and
divorce and remarriage,
00:37:46.07\00:37:48.97
Jesus said,
"Haven't you not read
00:37:49.00\00:37:51.28
that he who made
them from the beginning,
00:37:51.31\00:37:53.51
made them male and female
00:37:53.54\00:37:55.37
and said a man shall
leave his father and mother
00:37:55.40\00:37:57.82
and cleave into his wife
00:37:57.85\00:37:59.27
and the two would
become one flesh."
00:37:59.30\00:38:00.89
Haven't you read that?
00:38:00.92\00:38:02.24
Jesus quoted
Moses as an authority
00:38:02.27\00:38:05.15
to support his
argument, I believe Moses.
00:38:05.18\00:38:11.88
Did you know Jesus was the only
human eye witness to creation
00:38:11.91\00:38:17.07
and He didn't think it was
important to change one word
00:38:17.10\00:38:19.86
that Moses
wrote, so why should we.
00:38:19.89\00:38:24.68
I trust Jesus or may be
those days were just symbolic
00:38:24.71\00:38:29.46
of long periods of time
00:38:29.49\00:38:32.92
and God was guiding
the evolutionary process,
00:38:32.95\00:38:38.21
may be that's what
was really happening.
00:38:38.24\00:38:40.14
Well, I'm going to show you
00:38:44.47\00:38:47.84
that if we take that approach
00:38:47.87\00:38:49.51
as many
Christians are trying to take
00:38:49.54\00:38:53.94
that you will virtually abolish
the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:38:53.97\00:39:01.94
So, don't go to sleep,
00:39:01.97\00:39:03.51
I'm going to come back
to that point in a moment,
00:39:05.09\00:39:08.30
but I want to
answer the other question
00:39:08.33\00:39:10.04
that we asked first,
and that is why is it,
00:39:10.07\00:39:13.67
why do men desperately want to
believe in a theory of evolution
00:39:13.70\00:39:19.71
instead of life as a
result of a Creator God.
00:39:19.74\00:39:23.22
What's the
driving motivating force?
00:39:23.25\00:39:25.73
Peter tells us, if you
look with me in 2 Peter,
00:39:25.76\00:39:29.70
2 Peter 3, Peter
answers that question.
00:39:29.73\00:39:36.24
2 Peter 3:3, "First of
all, you must understand
00:39:36.27\00:39:42.38
in the last days
scoffers will come,
00:39:42.41\00:39:44.25
scoffing, following
their own evil desires
00:39:44.28\00:39:46.62
and they will say,
'Where is this coming'
00:39:46.65\00:39:48.45
that he has
promised?" Now watch.
00:39:48.48\00:39:51.19
"Ever since our fathers died,
00:39:51.22\00:39:52.78
everything goes on since it adds
at the beginning of creation."
00:39:52.81\00:39:56.24
But they deliberately forget,
00:39:58.88\00:40:03.07
that long ago by God's
word the heavens existed,
00:40:03.10\00:40:05.55
the earth was formed
out of water and by water
00:40:05.58\00:40:07.75
and by these waters also
00:40:07.78\00:40:09.26
the world at that time
was deluged and destroyed.
00:40:09.29\00:40:12.42
By the same
word, present heavens
00:40:12.45\00:40:14.72
and earth are reserved for fire,
00:40:14.75\00:40:16.33
being kept for
the Day of Judgment
00:40:16.36\00:40:18.19
and the
destruction of ungodly men."
00:40:18.22\00:40:20.18
You see if you choose to believe
in the Bible account of creation
00:40:22.18\00:40:28.24
then you have to
believe God made us
00:40:28.27\00:40:31.77
that He knows more
about us than anyone else
00:40:31.80\00:40:35.55
including ourselves that
He put within us certain laws,
00:40:35.58\00:40:41.45
He drew those laws
around us as a circle.
00:40:41.48\00:40:44.11
And He said if you want
to be peaceful and have joy
00:40:44.14\00:40:47.15
and happiness in your life,
live according to these laws.
00:40:47.18\00:40:51.43
These are the
principles that I made for you,
00:40:51.46\00:40:53.12
they define what
it means to love.
00:40:53.15\00:40:56.19
But if you break them
and step out of bounds,
00:40:56.22\00:40:58.95
then you are going to hurt
00:40:58.98\00:41:00.36
and other people
are going to hurt
00:41:00.39\00:41:01.83
and this whole thing
is going to collapse.
00:41:01.86\00:41:04.84
If you believe in a
Creator, then you got to believe
00:41:04.87\00:41:07.21
in their obligation to
believe and obey that Creator.
00:41:07.24\00:41:13.48
And so those who
choose not to obey a Creator
00:41:13.51\00:41:17.58
would rather
point to a pool of slime
00:41:17.61\00:41:21.07
as the origin for their life
00:41:21.10\00:41:24.38
than a loving God to
whom they are created to
00:41:24.41\00:41:26.87
but to me it makes a lot more
sense to believe in a Creator.
00:41:26.90\00:41:31.16
If I'm walking
down the beach one day
00:41:31.19\00:41:33.02
and I see something there
00:41:33.05\00:41:34.49
that looks like a
washed out footprint,
00:41:34.52\00:41:37.12
I could say, I think
there was a human here
00:41:37.15\00:41:40.11
but I may not know that
00:41:40.14\00:41:43.84
and I walk
along a little further
00:41:43.87\00:41:45.71
and I see a bunch of
rocks strung out along the beach
00:41:45.74\00:41:48.90
and I say look at those
rocks they are kind of organize
00:41:48.93\00:41:51.13
may be there was a human here
00:41:51.16\00:41:53.58
and I go a little
further and I see those rocks
00:41:53.61\00:41:56.03
lined up in a pile, all
stacked up a bunch of rocks.
00:41:56.06\00:42:01.18
Somebody had to do that,
the waves couldn't, could they?
00:42:01.21\00:42:05.59
May be, but I
walk a little further
00:42:05.62\00:42:10.36
and I see a bunch of
rocks all aligned in a way
00:42:10.39\00:42:13.90
that says Jack
Colon, I love you.
00:42:13.93\00:42:21.42
Now, if I would to say to
you that the waves did that.
00:42:21.45\00:42:28.37
You would think,
man he is either stupid
00:42:28.40\00:42:34.31
or ignorant or insane,
00:42:34.34\00:42:39.45
or he is trying
to avoid something
00:42:39.48\00:42:43.77
because if I believe that
someone out there that loves me,
00:42:43.80\00:42:48.21
and I need to know
who that one is, amen.
00:42:48.24\00:42:53.00
It makes more sense,
look at us, look at life,
00:42:53.03\00:42:57.19
look at the
miracles all around us,
00:42:57.22\00:42:59.25
it just make so much
more sense to believe
00:42:59.28\00:43:01.73
that we are the
result of the Creator God.
00:43:01.76\00:43:04.10
I want to shift
our attention now.
00:43:04.13\00:43:06.50
This last part of
what I want to say
00:43:06.53\00:43:08.07
the results of
believing in evolutione.
00:43:08.10\00:43:10.53
What happens
when people shift away
00:43:10.56\00:43:13.33
from the
Creator to the creature?
00:43:13.36\00:43:15.04
You are going to be
surprised about this.
00:43:15.07\00:43:16.79
Romans, it's kind of
lengthy but bare with me,
00:43:16.82\00:43:18.91
Romans 1, in Romans 1,
00:43:18.94\00:43:23.33
"Since the
creation of the world,"
00:43:23.36\00:43:25.26
verse 20, "God's
invisible qualities,
00:43:25.29\00:43:27.50
his eternal power and divine
nature have been clearly seen,
00:43:27.53\00:43:30.36
being understood
from what has been made."
00:43:30.39\00:43:32.67
Study nature you will
understand the creator God.
00:43:32.70\00:43:36.46
Verse 24, "Since
they rejected that
00:43:36.49\00:43:39.39
God gave them over
00:43:39.42\00:43:41.07
in the sinful
desires of their hearts
00:43:41.10\00:43:43.25
to sexual
impurity for the degrading
00:43:43.28\00:43:45.39
of their bodies
with one another.
00:43:45.42\00:43:47.12
They exchanged the
truth of God for a lie,
00:43:47.15\00:43:50.26
and they worshiped
and served created things
00:43:50.29\00:43:54.36
rather than the Creator.
00:43:54.39\00:43:56.79
That's what
Revelation is all about.
00:43:56.82\00:43:58.91
Those who worship the
beast worship created things
00:43:58.94\00:44:02.31
rather than the Creator
of the heavens and the earth.
00:44:02.34\00:44:06.62
So what's the result
of this creature worship?
00:44:06.65\00:44:10.00
Here it is, verse
26, "Because of this,
00:44:10.03\00:44:12.76
God gave them
over to shameful lusts.
00:44:12.79\00:44:16.57
Even their women exchanged
00:44:16.60\00:44:18.11
natural relations
for unnatural ones.
00:44:18.14\00:44:21.46
In the same way the men
00:44:21.49\00:44:23.46
abandoned natural
relations with women
00:44:23.49\00:44:27.06
and were inflamed
with lust for one another.
00:44:27.09\00:44:31.76
"As a result of
rejecting the Creator God,
00:44:31.79\00:44:35.03
men abandoned natural relations,
00:44:35.06\00:44:38.28
noticed, the
link, men and woman,
00:44:38.31\00:44:41.39
but they abandoned that
00:44:41.42\00:44:43.47
and they were inflamed
with lust for one another.
00:44:43.50\00:44:46.06
"Men committed
indecent acts with other men,
00:44:46.09\00:44:49.47
and received in themselves
00:44:49.50\00:44:51.10
the due penalty
for their perversion."
00:44:51.13\00:44:55.15
The theory of evolution,
forgetting the Creator
00:44:55.18\00:45:00.74
results in the
different kinds of things
00:45:00.77\00:45:04.98
that we see
happening all around us,
00:45:05.01\00:45:09.05
if you don't believe that
God made the man and the woman
00:45:09.08\00:45:13.07
and the man is to
leave his parents,
00:45:13.10\00:45:15.48
cleave unto his woman,
00:45:15.51\00:45:17.58
then what's
wrong with evolution.
00:45:19.74\00:45:23.23
It's just another
choice, an alternate lifestyle.
00:45:23.26\00:45:27.48
But God didn't make us that way.
00:45:30.31\00:45:34.91
And before you get
too loud with the amens,
00:45:34.94\00:45:37.44
I want to make it clear
what I just read is not popular
00:45:39.17\00:45:43.08
and the time is coming
00:45:43.11\00:45:44.14
when I'll probably
be considered criminal
00:45:44.17\00:45:46.32
for reading what I read
to you a few moments ago,
00:45:46.35\00:45:49.61
they are already
considering it in Canada.
00:45:49.64\00:45:53.58
And I know that the
only hope they really have
00:45:53.61\00:45:55.94
is the same hope
that you and I have
00:45:55.97\00:45:57.54
and that's to cling to
the cross of Jesus Christ
00:45:57.57\00:45:59.86
and that's why I
don't like loud amens
00:45:59.89\00:46:01.64
when we get to this part, folks.
00:46:01.67\00:46:04.11
Because they are no
more sinful than you and I.
00:46:04.14\00:46:07.84
In fact listen to
this. Paul has a list.
00:46:07.87\00:46:11.96
"Furthermore, since
they didn't think worth while
00:46:11.99\00:46:13.77
to retain the knowledge of God,
00:46:13.80\00:46:15.10
he gave them over
to a depraved mind,
00:46:15.13\00:46:17.04
to do what ought not to be done.
00:46:17.07\00:46:18.61
They have become filled
with every kind of wickedness,
00:46:18.64\00:46:20.57
evil, greed, and depravity.
00:46:20.60\00:46:22.18
They are full of envy,
murder, strife, deceit, malice.
00:46:22.21\00:46:25.26
They are gossipers."
I don't hear amens now.
00:46:25.29\00:46:30.67
"They are gossipers,
slanderers, God-haters,
00:46:34.15\00:46:37.86
insolent, arrogant, boastful,
inventing ways of doing evil,
00:46:37.89\00:46:41.63
they disobey their
parents, they are senseless,
00:46:41.66\00:46:43.84
they are
fruitless, they are faithless,
00:46:43.87\00:46:46.27
they are heartless, murderer."
00:46:46.30\00:46:48.64
Gossiper right in
there next to murderers.
00:46:48.67\00:46:53.74
You see, all I'm
trying to say is that
00:46:53.77\00:46:55.95
when we reject the Creator God
00:46:55.98\00:46:59.78
and turn to a
theory of evolution,
00:46:59.81\00:47:03.34
then things change
in us and in the world
00:47:03.37\00:47:07.78
and there is a blur distinction
between right and wrong anymore.
00:47:07.81\00:47:13.91
Who can say to a homosexual that
what they are doing is wrong
00:47:13.94\00:47:19.02
when they are
gossiping about homosexuals
00:47:19.05\00:47:21.14
to everybody else in the church.
00:47:21.17\00:47:22.94
No wonder they resent
and resist coming to church.
00:47:27.11\00:47:31.89
May be we need to change
our attitudes a little bit.
00:47:31.92\00:47:35.67
God doesn't like the
sin but He loves the sinner.
00:47:35.70\00:47:39.38
if He didn't like the sinner,
we all be in trouble, amen.
00:47:39.41\00:47:42.39
Evolution not only changes
00:47:46.67\00:47:49.87
what's taught in
the science classroom,
00:47:49.90\00:47:53.29
but it changes our whole
perspective on life in the world
00:47:53.32\00:48:01.29
Richard Overman
discovered in his research paper
00:48:01.32\00:48:05.06
comparing origins of
belief and moral views.
00:48:05.09\00:48:08.99
In his surveys he discovered
00:48:09.02\00:48:11.14
the more the subject
believes in creation,
00:48:11.17\00:48:14.23
the less he or she is
willing to morally accept
00:48:14.26\00:48:16.57
sexual relationships between
two unmarried consenting people.
00:48:16.60\00:48:21.26
In other words those
who believe in creation
00:48:21.29\00:48:23.66
are not nearly as
likely to get involved
00:48:23.69\00:48:26.10
in sexual
relationships outside a marriage
00:48:26.13\00:48:28.41
than those who do
not believe in creation.
00:48:28.44\00:48:32.61
Now, that an
interesting correlation
00:48:32.64\00:48:35.19
because evolution becomes not
only a science but a world view.
00:48:35.22\00:48:39.27
For years and
years scientists believe
00:48:39.30\00:48:41.21
that God created the universe
with laws, to function by laws
00:48:41.24\00:48:45.83
and He created the humans
to function according to laws,
00:48:45.86\00:48:48.70
it was the job of science to
discover what those laws were.
00:48:48.73\00:48:53.23
Herbert Spencer in
the late 1880's wrote,
00:48:53.26\00:48:56.00
"The poverty of the incapable,
the starvation of the idle,
00:48:56.03\00:48:58.98
the pushing aside of
the weak by the strong,
00:48:59.01\00:49:01.79
are all decrees of a large,
farseeing benevolence a love.
00:49:01.82\00:49:09.76
Funny way to describe love,
00:49:09.79\00:49:12.18
trampling the weak into the dust
00:49:12.21\00:49:16.30
and that kind of
thinking gave Marquis de Sade
00:49:16.33\00:49:20.20
the inspiration to say
as nature has made us men
00:49:20.23\00:49:24.59
the stronger we can do
with her, woman as we please.
00:49:24.62\00:49:29.56
How many women want
to be evolutionist now?
00:49:29.59\00:49:34.74
And in the early 1990s a
very powerful world leader
00:49:34.77\00:49:39.51
emerged to embrace
the theory of evolution
00:49:39.54\00:49:42.76
and survival of the fittest.
00:49:42.79\00:49:46.64
He said, The law of nature
00:49:47.99\00:49:49.76
must take its course in
the survival of the fittest,
00:49:49.79\00:49:53.23
the Christian notion of
charity should be replaced
00:49:53.26\00:49:56.36
by the ethic of
strength over weakness.
00:49:56.39\00:49:59.88
Adolf Hitler
resolved the gas chambers
00:49:59.91\00:50:03.94
as he tried to exterminate
00:50:03.97\00:50:05.93
the weaker races
and eliminate them.
00:50:05.96\00:50:11.89
Darwin gave credence
like no one ever before
00:50:11.92\00:50:17.66
he gave credence to
the basis form of racism.
00:50:17.69\00:50:24.47
Charles Darwin himself wrote
on the Descent of Man, a quote
00:50:24.50\00:50:28.90
you don't see in
the science books today.
00:50:28.93\00:50:31.82
At some future period,
the civilized races of man
00:50:31.85\00:50:34.92
will almost
certainly exterminate,
00:50:34.95\00:50:36.60
and replace the savage
races throughout the world.
00:50:36.63\00:50:42.27
And he lined them up according
to the color of their skin,
00:50:42.30\00:50:48.81
that's what
evolution is all about.
00:50:48.84\00:50:54.45
No one believes that, do they?
00:50:54.48\00:50:56.81
Or ask Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
00:50:56.84\00:51:00.69
he believes that the
Jewish race should be
00:51:00.72\00:51:02.70
extinguished
and wiped out today.
00:51:02.73\00:51:05.94
In fact Professor Robert Simon
said this in Readers Digest
00:51:05.97\00:51:10.00
in 30 years of college teaching
00:51:10.03\00:51:12.10
he said, "I have
never met a student
00:51:12.13\00:51:13.40
who denied that
the Holocaust happened.
00:51:13.43\00:51:16.20
But what I see
increasingly is worse
00:51:16.23\00:51:19.52
students who acknowledge
the fact of the Holocaust
00:51:19.55\00:51:21.98
but they can't
bring themselves to say
00:51:22.01\00:51:23.97
that killing
millions of people is wrong.
00:51:24.00\00:51:27.75
Oh, yeah, it happened
00:51:27.78\00:51:29.06
but who am I to
say that it's wrong,
00:51:29.09\00:51:32.06
of course I
dislike the Nazis, one said
00:51:32.09\00:51:34.03
but who is to say that
they are morally wrong?
00:51:34.06\00:51:36.80
How can he if he
believes in evolution
00:51:36.83\00:51:39.18
because there is no absolute
standard of right and wrong,
00:51:39.21\00:51:42.28
it's strength over weakness,
survival of the fittest.
00:51:42.31\00:51:45.26
That's where we are today.
00:51:48.48\00:51:51.04
I was watching an
interview on the O'Reilly Factor
00:51:51.07\00:51:56.72
just after Littleton, Colorado,
you remember that story?
00:51:56.75\00:52:01.41
And they were talking
to one of the parents,
00:52:01.44\00:52:07.00
Brian Rohrbrough
the child who was killed
00:52:07.03\00:52:09.67
and the parents
said, the opportunity
00:52:09.70\00:52:11.13
to witness a video that
Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold
00:52:11.16\00:52:16.01
had prepared
before the incident,
00:52:16.04\00:52:18.89
It's unreleased
and others can't see it
00:52:18.92\00:52:21.68
but this man was on television
telling us what he saw
00:52:21.71\00:52:25.61
and here is what they've said,
00:52:25.64\00:52:27.65
Eric Harris and
Dylan Klebold said
00:52:27.68\00:52:29.81
and the reason we are doing
this is because of evolution.
00:52:29.84\00:52:34.20
It's time to kill off the weak
00:52:34.23\00:52:35.78
and evolution gives us the right
even the obligation to do it.
00:52:35.81\00:52:41.24
Interesting, isn't it?
00:52:41.27\00:52:43.12
Now no evolutionist
would ever teach that,
00:52:43.15\00:52:45.28
Charles Darwin never would
00:52:45.31\00:52:47.90
but the point is
who can argue against it
00:52:47.93\00:52:52.25
unless you are
stronger than they are.
00:52:52.28\00:52:55.27
Evolution is
Satan's ultimate weapon
00:53:01.10\00:53:06.37
against the people of God.
00:53:06.40\00:53:10.55
Remember the two
points of attack,
00:53:10.58\00:53:13.55
the commandments of God
and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:53:13.58\00:53:18.84
If you believe in
the theory of evolution
00:53:18.87\00:53:20.82
you are going to
eventually do away
00:53:20.85\00:53:24.00
with the commandments of God
00:53:24.03\00:53:27.92
because strength
will rule over weakness
00:53:27.95\00:53:30.54
and there is no
absolute standard anymore.
00:53:30.57\00:53:35.40
The two can't go together.
00:53:35.43\00:53:36.68
A lot of people don't know this,
00:53:40.49\00:53:43.58
but the theory of evolution is
not invented by Charles Darwin.
00:53:43.61\00:53:50.42
The first
indication that we have of it
00:53:50.45\00:53:54.26
was the
venerated catholic scholar
00:53:54.29\00:53:59.40
St. Augustine of
Hippo in the fourth century
00:53:59.43\00:54:04.20
when he wrote, that
God should have made use
00:54:04.23\00:54:06.30
of natural,
evolutionary, original causes
00:54:06.33\00:54:09.03
in the production of
man's body, is not improbable.
00:54:09.06\00:54:13.89
Darwin just made it popular
00:54:13.92\00:54:17.52
John Paul 2 confirmed
the theory of evolution
00:54:17.55\00:54:20.62
saying the gist of
the theory of evolution
00:54:20.65\00:54:22.45
is a scientific hypothesis.
00:54:22.48\00:54:23.95
It is in perfect agreement
00:54:23.98\00:54:25.40
with the Christian
conception of the universe
00:54:25.43\00:54:27.85
for scripture does not tell us
00:54:27.88\00:54:30.14
in what form the
present species of plants
00:54:30.17\00:54:32.20
or animals were
originally created by God?
00:54:32.23\00:54:35.75
He would do away with
the commandments of God
00:54:35.78\00:54:38.44
and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:54:38.47\00:54:40.83
But I want to show you
that the theory of evolution
00:54:40.86\00:54:43.57
subtlety takes away
the cross of Jesus Christ.
00:54:43.60\00:54:48.96
Romans 5, "Therefore," verse 12,
00:54:48.99\00:54:53.09
"Just as sin entered
the world through one man,
00:54:53.12\00:54:55.07
and death came through sin
00:54:55.10\00:54:56.48
and in this way
death came to all men."
00:54:56.51\00:54:58.44
How did death come
into the world? Through sin.
00:55:00.91\00:55:06.20
Death is the result of sin.
00:55:06.23\00:55:09.33
But if you accept
the geological column
00:55:12.35\00:55:14.24
as it's explained
by the evolutionists
00:55:14.27\00:55:16.19
you have millions and millions
and millions of years of life
00:55:16.22\00:55:21.21
living and dying
and becoming extinct
00:55:21.24\00:55:24.35
and living and
dying and becoming extinct
00:55:24.38\00:55:27.49
of fighting and
struggling to survive of dying
00:55:27.52\00:55:30.67
and dying and dying and
dying until finally man evolves.
00:55:30.70\00:55:38.67
So, if you believe in evolution
00:55:38.70\00:55:41.68
then death cannot
be the result of sin
00:55:41.71\00:55:46.76
but the Bible says that it is.
00:55:48.86\00:55:52.16
Death came into
the world through sin
00:55:52.19\00:55:56.54
but if death had been happening
00:55:56.57\00:55:58.06
through the ages,
through the centuries,
00:55:58.09\00:56:01.16
through the process of evolution
00:56:01.19\00:56:03.15
then death cannot
be the result of sin
00:56:03.18\00:56:05.73
because sin didn't happen until
Adam and Eve ate the apple.
00:56:05.76\00:56:09.36
Furthermore if death
is not the result of sin
00:56:13.40\00:56:18.93
then Jesus Christ couldn't
had paid the price for your sin
00:56:22.56\00:56:27.46
when He died on the cross.
00:56:27.49\00:56:31.37
And evolution,
suddenly but thoroughly
00:56:31.40\00:56:35.40
pulls the rug
out from underneath
00:56:35.43\00:56:37.82
the gospel of Jesus
Christ. Two points of attack,
00:56:37.85\00:56:42.48
the commandments of God
and the cross of Jesus Christ.
00:56:42.51\00:56:47.18
In John 1:1, the Bible says,
"In the beginning was the word
00:56:50.47\00:56:57.62
and the word was with
God and the word was God."
00:56:57.65\00:57:02.41
And who was the word? Verse 14.
00:57:02.44\00:57:04.72
The Word became
flesh and dwelt among us.
00:57:04.75\00:57:08.83
The word was Jesus
Christ, He was present with God
00:57:08.86\00:57:14.10
He was God, He
made us in the beginning
00:57:14.13\00:57:17.35
all things were
made by HIM, the word
00:57:17.38\00:57:20.41
and nothing was
made without Him.
00:57:20.44\00:57:23.67
who was the God who
said let there be light,
00:57:23.70\00:57:26.52
and there was light?
00:57:26.55\00:57:27.61
It was the Son of God who
would later become Jesus Christ.
00:57:27.64\00:57:31.26
Who was the God who
said, let there be birds,
00:57:31.29\00:57:34.23
let there be animals?
00:57:34.26\00:57:35.69
Who was the God who knelt down
00:57:35.72\00:57:38.09
and breathe into that
body the breath of life
00:57:38.12\00:57:40.92
and watched it
become a living being?
00:57:40.95\00:57:43.70
It was Jesus
Christ, the Son of God
00:57:43.73\00:57:46.60
who would one day become
a man and die on the cross.
00:57:46.63\00:57:53.04
Worship the Creator of
the heavens and the earth.
00:57:53.07\00:57:59.35
