Where did we come from?
00:00:11.94\00:00:15.11
The Bible says, "In
the beginning God created."
00:00:15.14\00:00:18.61
Evolution teaches the opposite.
00:00:21.65\00:00:23.69
No one created, it
all happened by itself.
00:00:23.72\00:00:27.19
Which one is the truth?
00:00:27.22\00:00:31.23
This is Headquarters,
00:00:31.26\00:00:35.13
Doc M.
00:00:35.16\00:00:36.50
Jacqui,
00:00:39.63\00:00:42.00
and Rich,
00:00:42.04\00:00:45.84
their job, investigate
and discover the truth.
00:00:45.87\00:00:49.48
This is The Creation Case.
00:00:53.35\00:00:55.98
Another,
00:01:15.37\00:01:17.41
is it more?
00:01:17.44\00:01:21.28
Still more.
00:01:21.31\00:01:25.08
This is crazy.
00:01:25.11\00:01:26.92
The whole world is
thinking about volcanoes.
00:01:26.95\00:01:31.92
A paper eruption.
00:01:34.99\00:01:37.06
Eruption, perfect word.
00:01:37.09\00:01:39.29
What do you mean, Doc M?
00:01:39.33\00:01:42.33
Look, we've got all of
these emails just today.
00:01:42.36\00:01:46.37
And they're all
asking the same thing.
00:01:46.40\00:01:48.60
You're kidding.
00:01:48.64\00:01:49.97
Here, look, look, look, look.
00:01:50.01\00:01:51.87
This one.
00:01:51.91\00:01:53.27
It's from Phil in
Charlotte, North Carolina.
00:01:53.31\00:01:55.94
He says, "My name is
Phil and I'm in fourth grade.
00:01:55.98\00:02:00.15
I have a question.
00:02:00.18\00:02:01.72
Last night I
watched a show on TV
00:02:01.75\00:02:03.59
that talked about a volcano
00:02:03.62\00:02:05.12
that last erupted
about 2 million years ago.
00:02:05.15\00:02:08.52
How do they know that?
00:02:08.56\00:02:10.43
I thought God created the
world a few thousand years ago.
00:02:10.46\00:02:13.80
I'm a little confused.
00:02:13.83\00:02:15.63
Thank you, Phil."
00:02:15.66\00:02:17.97
You know, I
think he has a point.
00:02:18.00\00:02:20.34
I think I saw that program too
and they were throwing around,
00:02:20.37\00:02:24.01
millions of years for this,
millions of years for that.
00:02:24.04\00:02:26.78
It was very confusing.
00:02:26.81\00:02:29.04
Well, let's get this off to Rich
00:02:29.08\00:02:32.95
as an assignment.
00:02:32.98\00:02:34.38
All right.
00:02:34.42\00:02:36.28
Where is Rich?
00:02:36.32\00:02:37.65
Well, I think that
he said something about
00:02:37.69\00:02:41.69
deep forest exploration today.
00:02:41.72\00:02:45.83
Deep forest.
00:02:45.86\00:02:48.06
I think that means
00:02:48.10\00:02:49.43
he's sitting
behind some rotten log,
00:02:49.46\00:02:51.50
waiting for
something to move somewhere.
00:02:51.53\00:02:54.97
He could be waiting for hours.
00:02:55.00\00:02:57.11
Well, I'll get this over to him.
00:02:57.14\00:03:01.38
Do you have a creation
question for Headquarters?
00:03:01.41\00:03:04.31
Send your questions
to Doc, Jacqui, and Rich
00:03:04.35\00:03:07.18
by visiting our
website at TheCreationCase.com.
00:03:07.22\00:03:11.12
Hey, I think I got
a new message from HQ.
00:03:28.70\00:03:30.81
It might be a new assignment.
00:03:30.84\00:03:32.17
Hi, Rich, this is Jacqui at HQ.
00:03:35.88\00:03:38.21
Doc M has your next assignment
and you better be careful
00:03:38.25\00:03:41.18
because it's explosive.
00:03:41.22\00:03:43.99
Yeah.
00:03:44.02\00:03:45.35
Today we need you to
investigate volcanoes.
00:03:45.39\00:03:49.66
We know there are
thousands of volcanoes
00:03:49.69\00:03:51.59
all over the planet,
00:03:51.63\00:03:52.96
but we need to know
00:03:52.99\00:03:54.33
if they provide any
evidence for creation.
00:03:54.36\00:03:57.10
We look forward to
getting your report.
00:03:57.13\00:03:59.30
Oh, and Rich, be
careful out there.
00:03:59.33\00:04:01.64
We'll do our best to be
careful on this end too.
00:04:05.11\00:04:07.78
I'm okay.
00:04:07.81\00:04:09.14
Hmm, volcanoes.
00:04:09.18\00:04:11.41
I better let them
know I got the assignment.
00:04:11.45\00:04:14.25
Got message.
00:04:14.28\00:04:17.39
Volcanoes.
00:04:17.42\00:04:20.52
We'll be careful.
00:04:20.56\00:04:23.66
All right, we
got our assignment.
00:04:23.69\00:04:25.03
You know what?
00:04:25.06\00:04:26.39
We should write
that down in our journal.
00:04:26.43\00:04:28.46
Volcanoes.
00:04:33.57\00:04:35.70
You know what? We
need to visit a volcano.
00:04:39.37\00:04:42.34
You know, there's
a story in the Bible
00:04:42.38\00:04:43.71
that talks about
underground energy.
00:04:43.75\00:04:46.11
We need to
check out the evidence
00:04:46.15\00:04:47.48
to see if it matches up
with what the Bible says.
00:04:47.52\00:04:52.15
You know, we
need to visit Wyoming.
00:04:52.19\00:04:54.09
There's a lot of
underground energy there.
00:04:54.12\00:04:56.02
Let's get back to the jeep.
00:04:56.06\00:04:57.39
Help us investigate today.

00:05:08.30\00:05:11.14
We made it.
00:05:31.66\00:05:32.99
We are in
Yellowstone National Park.
00:05:33.03\00:05:35.10
We're in a
volcano, a super volcano.
00:05:35.13\00:05:38.13
Do you know why they
call it a super volcano?
00:05:38.17\00:05:40.27
They call it
super because it's huge.
00:05:45.94\00:05:48.71
We're standing in the caldera
of the volcano right now.
00:05:48.74\00:05:51.25
That's where
the lava used to be.
00:05:51.28\00:05:53.78
This whole area is
one big active volcano.
00:05:53.82\00:05:56.52
We know it's active
00:05:56.55\00:05:57.89
because there are over
10,000 geothermal features here.
00:05:57.92\00:06:01.59
Geothermal means
different forms of heat
00:06:01.62\00:06:04.09
coming from underground.
00:06:04.13\00:06:08.06
We've come here to
see some of that heat
00:06:08.10\00:06:10.23
reaching the surface.
00:06:10.27\00:06:11.60
Check this out.
00:06:11.63\00:06:14.27
One of the most
common geothermal features
00:06:14.30\00:06:16.47
is the hot spring.
00:06:16.50\00:06:17.97
Something big is
going on way down there,
00:06:18.01\00:06:20.04
because a lot of water
is returning to the surface,
00:06:20.08\00:06:22.84
very hot, about 500
gallons per minute here.
00:06:22.88\00:06:27.28
I just need to be
careful not to fall in.
00:06:27.32\00:06:30.72
One of the cool
things about this hot spring
00:06:30.75\00:06:32.55
are the colors, look.
00:06:32.59\00:06:36.02
A lot of colorful bacteria
like to grow in this warm water
00:06:36.06\00:06:39.09
that is rich in minerals.
00:06:39.13\00:06:41.90
It's so cool to see
so much color in nature.
00:06:41.93\00:06:47.27
To really appreciate this place,
00:06:47.30\00:06:48.87
you got to see a
picture from the sky.
00:06:48.90\00:06:50.74
Check this out.
00:06:50.77\00:06:53.24
Isn't that amazing?
00:06:53.27\00:06:54.78
You can even see the
boardwalk on the lower right.
00:06:54.81\00:06:57.98
There's a lot of
geothermal activity here
00:06:58.01\00:06:59.85
in Yellowstone Park.
00:06:59.88\00:07:01.22
Let's go, see some more.
00:07:01.25\00:07:02.58
Yellowstone is a huge park.
00:07:09.19\00:07:11.23
It was actually
the first national park
00:07:11.26\00:07:13.19
in the United States.
00:07:13.23\00:07:17.13
These are called mud pots.
00:07:17.17\00:07:19.07
There's not much water
coming to the surface here.
00:07:19.10\00:07:21.27
It's more steam and other gases
00:07:21.30\00:07:23.14
that mix with the
clay and minerals.
00:07:23.17\00:07:25.01
Combined,
00:07:25.04\00:07:26.37
you get a constant
display of mud splattering.
00:07:26.41\00:07:29.44
It's really funny to
watch these little chunks of mud
00:07:34.38\00:07:36.95
just jumping around.
00:07:36.99\00:07:38.39
It almost looks
like they're alive.
00:07:38.42\00:07:42.72
We've seen hot springs,
and we've seen mud pots.
00:07:42.76\00:07:44.69
Now let's go see some fumaroles.
00:07:44.73\00:07:49.13
Fumaroles are like hot springs.
00:07:49.16\00:07:50.77
The only difference
is that, there is no mud,
00:07:50.80\00:07:53.17
and no water
makes it to the surface,
00:07:53.20\00:07:55.20
just steam.
00:07:55.24\00:07:56.67
Wow, these fumaroles just
go pop, pop, pop all day long.
00:08:02.21\00:08:06.75
But to see some really
amazing geothermal activity,
00:08:06.78\00:08:09.72
we need to see some geysers.
00:08:09.75\00:08:11.12
Come on.
00:08:11.15\00:08:12.75
Geysers are very rare.
00:08:25.83\00:08:27.67
There are only
about 1000 in the world,
00:08:27.70\00:08:30.61
and half of them are
right here in Yellowstone.
00:08:30.64\00:08:34.44
The most famous
geyser in the world
00:08:34.48\00:08:36.11
is right here behind me.
00:08:36.14\00:08:37.48
Old Faithful, we're
waiting for it to erupt.
00:08:37.51\00:08:42.45
They call it Old Faithful,
00:08:42.48\00:08:43.95
because it faithfully erupts
about every hour or so, 24/7.
00:08:43.99\00:08:50.03
Since it's so predictable,
00:08:50.06\00:08:51.59
millions of people
come to see it erupt
00:08:51.63\00:08:54.03
every year.
00:08:54.06\00:08:55.90
The eruption of
water starts slowly
00:08:55.93\00:08:58.43
and can eventually shoot
water over 150 feet high.
00:08:58.47\00:09:03.20
Over 8,000 gallons of
water can be blown into the air
00:09:03.24\00:09:06.68
during the eruptions
00:09:06.71\00:09:08.04
that only last a
couple of minutes.
00:09:08.08\00:09:11.01
Wow, that's amazing.
00:09:11.05\00:09:12.65
You know, Old
Faithful reminds me of God.
00:09:19.22\00:09:22.62
He's always there for
us. He will never leave us.
00:09:22.66\00:09:26.36
Wow, that was cool.
00:09:31.63\00:09:33.37
Actually that was hot.
The water comes out boiling.
00:09:33.40\00:09:39.37
So how does all this
geothermal energy work?
00:09:39.41\00:09:42.64
Well, water from the
surface drains deep down below,
00:09:42.68\00:09:46.05
through cracks in the ground,
about a mile down on average.
00:09:46.08\00:09:49.82
There, the
water comes in contact
00:09:49.85\00:09:51.75
with hot volcanic
rocks and it boils.
00:09:51.79\00:09:55.26
The pressure of
the water boiling
00:09:55.29\00:09:56.93
makes it
eventually come blasting back
00:09:56.96\00:09:58.96
up to the surface
00:09:58.99\00:10:00.33
as boiling hot water and steam.
00:10:00.36\00:10:06.07
There is no doubt,
00:10:06.10\00:10:07.44
there's incredible
power under the surface.
00:10:07.47\00:10:11.07
So does the Bible say anything
about underground energy?
00:10:11.11\00:10:14.84
Actually it does.
00:10:14.88\00:10:16.21
It says that during the flood,
00:10:16.24\00:10:17.58
all the water from
under the ground erupted.
00:10:17.61\00:10:21.68
All of the geothermal
features we've seen here today
00:10:21.72\00:10:24.59
are tiny examples of
what the biblical flood
00:10:24.62\00:10:27.66
could have done to our planet.
00:10:27.69\00:10:31.89
Even though the Bible
is not a science book,
00:10:31.93\00:10:34.00
I'm glad that we
see things in nature
00:10:34.03\00:10:35.80
that show us the Bible is true.
00:10:35.83\00:10:38.23
I think I'm gonna write
that down in my journal.
00:10:38.27\00:10:40.47
There is a lot of
energy underground,
00:10:48.04\00:10:50.68
just like the Bible
talks about in Genesis,
00:10:50.71\00:10:53.01
as it tells the
account of the flood.
00:10:53.05\00:10:55.32
You know, it's been
4,000 years since the flood,
00:11:00.32\00:11:03.26
and the earth has
never fully settled.
00:11:03.29\00:11:05.33
No one knows exactly
when this super volcano
00:11:08.73\00:11:11.43
here in Yellowstone erupted,
00:11:11.47\00:11:13.23
and there are no records
of anyone that saw it erupt.
00:11:13.27\00:11:16.17
There's only so much
you can learn from a volcano
00:11:16.20\00:11:19.17
long after it erupted.
00:11:19.21\00:11:20.74
You know it would be helpful
00:11:24.18\00:11:25.75
to see a volcano that
we know erupted recently?
00:11:25.78\00:11:28.95
I know exactly
where there is one.
00:11:28.98\00:11:30.52
Mount St. Helens in Washington.
Let's get back to the jeep.
00:11:30.55\00:11:33.62
Hi, everyone.
It's Doc M here at HQ.
00:11:42.86\00:11:46.17
While Rich is out
investigating volcanoes,
00:11:46.20\00:11:48.77
here at HQ, we're gonna
be doing some research about
00:11:48.80\00:11:51.84
DNA and about our genes.
00:11:51.87\00:11:56.08
Have you ever heard someone say,
00:11:56.11\00:11:58.18
it's in your genes?
00:11:58.21\00:12:00.35
They weren't
talking about your pants.
00:12:00.38\00:12:02.35
Genes are part of our DNA
00:12:02.38\00:12:04.39
that provide information
about each one of us.
00:12:04.42\00:12:08.12
Information about our eye color,
00:12:08.16\00:12:10.59
our height, our blood type,
00:12:10.63\00:12:12.69
and thousands of
other little details
00:12:12.73\00:12:14.73
that make you just you,
00:12:14.76\00:12:17.63
that is passed on
to us from our parents.
00:12:17.67\00:12:20.67
Since every person
has around 30,000 genes,
00:12:20.70\00:12:24.87
there are almost an
endless variety of combinations,
00:12:24.91\00:12:27.51
like combinations
this, combinations that,
00:12:27.54\00:12:30.25
that's why everyone
looks a little different.
00:12:30.28\00:12:33.11
For example,
Jacqui's eyes are hazel,
00:12:33.15\00:12:38.85
mine are brown.
00:12:38.89\00:12:40.99
Jacqui's hair and
mine are different too.
00:12:41.02\00:12:45.09
Each one of us is unique.
00:12:45.13\00:12:47.13
Our gene combinations
are totally different.
00:12:47.16\00:12:51.77
Generation after generation,
our genes are passed down.
00:12:51.80\00:12:55.10
And each time,
it's a new combination.
00:12:55.14\00:12:57.24
Surprise!
00:12:57.27\00:12:58.81
I love it.
00:12:58.84\00:13:00.81
That's important to remember
00:13:00.84\00:13:02.38
because we're not
getting any new genes.
00:13:02.41\00:13:05.11
We're just
copying, and shuffling,
00:13:05.15\00:13:08.38
and changing the
same ones around.
00:13:08.42\00:13:13.42
They're like a set of dominoes.
00:13:13.46\00:13:15.69
Each one of these
dominoes is different, right?
00:13:15.72\00:13:18.46
You've played dominoes.
00:13:18.49\00:13:19.83
No two are the same.
00:13:19.86\00:13:21.56
This is an eight and a one.
00:13:26.53\00:13:29.17
This is a five and a
two, they're not the same.
00:13:29.20\00:13:32.51
This is a four and a five.
00:13:36.81\00:13:39.35
And this is a four and a four,
00:13:39.38\00:13:41.38
they're very
close, but not the same.
00:13:41.42\00:13:44.82
Wow.
00:13:44.85\00:13:47.36
If there were 30,000
different dominoes in this box,
00:13:47.39\00:13:51.73
like genes,
00:13:51.76\00:13:53.09
there would be a massive
amount of combinations possible.
00:13:53.13\00:13:55.93
Wow!
00:13:55.96\00:13:57.47
Those different
combinations in our genes
00:13:57.50\00:13:59.40
are what make
each one of us unique.
00:13:59.43\00:14:04.97
As generations pass,
all we ever see is variety.
00:14:05.01\00:14:10.65
Different ones.
00:14:10.68\00:14:13.25
Never has there ever been
00:14:13.28\00:14:15.48
any evidence that we
are adding new genes.
00:14:15.52\00:14:19.19
Just different
combinations of the same
00:14:19.22\00:14:23.26
making variety.
00:14:23.29\00:14:26.23
This is why, yet again,
00:14:26.26\00:14:28.96
I believe God is my Creator.
00:14:29.00\00:14:32.40
Hey, everyone.
It's me, Rich Aguilera.
00:14:36.64\00:14:38.94
I'd love to see you at
one of our live events.
00:14:38.97\00:14:41.54
To see where I'll be speaking,
00:14:41.58\00:14:43.18
visit our website,
TheCreationCase.com.
00:14:43.21\00:14:46.72
We're getting closer.
00:14:53.89\00:14:55.32
Mount St. Helens erupted
in 1980 for everybody to see.
00:14:55.36\00:14:59.29
Check it out. I got
some pictures right here.
00:14:59.33\00:15:01.16
This was the first time
00:15:05.03\00:15:06.94
scientists got such
a good close up look
00:15:06.97\00:15:09.74
at a catastrophic event.
00:15:09.77\00:15:11.41
Pretty destructive,
00:15:15.54\00:15:16.88
but nothing
compared to the flood.
00:15:16.91\00:15:18.51
Imagine God commanding
all the energy underground
00:15:18.55\00:15:21.32
to come bursting to the surface.
00:15:21.35\00:15:23.15
The eruption
left a massive crater,
00:15:27.29\00:15:29.82
one mile wide.
00:15:29.86\00:15:31.96
Two hundred and
fifty homes were destroyed,
00:15:31.99\00:15:34.73
along with 47 bridges
00:15:34.76\00:15:36.56
and 185 miles of roadway.
00:15:36.60\00:15:40.97
Wow, it sure made a mess.
00:15:41.00\00:15:44.11
This is Johnston Rich.
00:15:44.14\00:15:45.61
It's the best spot to
see the side of the volcano
00:15:45.64\00:15:48.38
that blew out.
00:15:48.41\00:15:51.21
The blast
traveled down the mountain
00:15:51.25\00:15:53.15
over 600 miles per hour
00:15:53.18\00:15:55.45
and was heard
hundreds of miles away.
00:15:55.48\00:15:58.12
This was a pretty massive event.
00:15:58.15\00:15:59.99
Hey, check it out. See
that gorge way down there?
00:16:03.56\00:16:06.16
Some people call it
the little Grand Canyon.
00:16:06.19\00:16:11.07
Well, after the eruption
here, water and mudflows
00:16:11.10\00:16:14.54
cut enormous canyons
down the side of the mountain.
00:16:14.57\00:16:18.57
Some people think large
canyons are slowly formed
00:16:18.61\00:16:21.14
over millions of years.
00:16:21.18\00:16:22.61
But this one formed in one day.
00:16:22.64\00:16:26.11
After the eruption,
some areas here were buried
00:16:26.15\00:16:28.82
in almost 600
feet of dirt and mud.
00:16:28.85\00:16:33.05
Geologists, the scientists
00:16:33.09\00:16:34.89
who study
earth's rocks and layers,
00:16:34.92\00:16:36.73
assumed that this was
just a jumbled mess of dirt
00:16:36.76\00:16:39.33
that got buried,
00:16:39.36\00:16:40.70
but they were surprised
00:16:40.73\00:16:42.06
to find very
finely sorted layers,
00:16:42.10\00:16:44.80
hundreds of brand new layers.
00:16:44.83\00:16:49.97
There's a place
not too far from here
00:16:50.01\00:16:51.64
where we can
check out those layers.
00:16:51.67\00:16:53.07
Come on.
00:16:53.11\00:16:54.44
Here's those layers
I was talking about.
00:17:03.25\00:17:05.15
They were
deposited here in 1980.
00:17:05.19\00:17:09.32
Here we can see
layer after layer
00:17:09.36\00:17:12.09
deposited in one day.
00:17:12.13\00:17:14.56
It seems like
the evidence tells us
00:17:14.60\00:17:16.73
that the types of
geological features
00:17:16.77\00:17:18.33
we see all over the
world can be formed quickly
00:17:18.37\00:17:21.97
under the right conditions,
00:17:22.00\00:17:23.84
conditions such as global flood.
00:17:23.87\00:17:27.48
There's one more
thing we have to do
00:17:27.51\00:17:29.08
to really appreciate this place,
00:17:29.11\00:17:30.68
we need to climb to the rim.
00:17:30.71\00:17:32.38
I got all my gear in the jeep.
00:17:36.69\00:17:38.32
It takes a full day
to climb to the rim.
00:17:38.35\00:17:40.26
So we're going to start
first thing tomorrow morning.
00:17:40.29\00:17:42.39
The best way to
check out a volcano
00:17:49.73\00:17:52.40
is to climb up to the rim
and look down into the crater.
00:17:52.43\00:17:56.20
It's a long hike
and I got all my gear.
00:17:56.24\00:17:58.77
Let's go.
00:17:58.81\00:18:01.11
On May 18,
1980, a 5.1 earthquake
00:18:01.14\00:18:05.55
triggered a massive
landslide on the north face
00:18:05.58\00:18:08.78
of the mountain.
00:18:08.82\00:18:11.99
Imagine the whole side
of that mountain exploding
00:18:12.02\00:18:15.19
and all the debris
sliding down into the valley.
00:18:15.22\00:18:19.76
The interesting thing
about this catastrophe
00:18:19.79\00:18:21.93
is that the whole world
00:18:21.96\00:18:23.63
got a front row
seat to this event.
00:18:23.67\00:18:26.23
Everyone saw it happen
00:18:26.27\00:18:28.14
and everyone saw
what happened after.
00:18:28.17\00:18:31.31
They were able to see
how the event unfolded
00:18:31.34\00:18:34.08
and how it affected
the landscape around it.
00:18:34.11\00:18:37.91
You know when scientists
study things that happened
00:18:37.95\00:18:40.75
hundreds or
thousands of years ago,
00:18:40.78\00:18:42.88
they have to make
some assumptions about
00:18:42.92\00:18:44.85
what they think happened.
00:18:44.89\00:18:46.22
As we slowly
continue up the mountain,
00:18:50.16\00:18:52.53
we soon encounter snow,
and it starts getting steeper.
00:18:52.56\00:18:56.83
Walking poles will
now come in very handy.
00:18:56.87\00:19:02.20
Since many people assume that
00:19:02.24\00:19:03.81
it takes millions of
years to deposit layers,
00:19:03.84\00:19:06.51
they were quite
surprised when they saw here
00:19:06.54\00:19:08.38
that hundreds were
laid down in one day.
00:19:08.41\00:19:13.38
Because of Mount St. Helens,
people all over now wondered
00:19:13.42\00:19:17.02
if the layers around the world
00:19:17.05\00:19:18.39
could all have
been deposited quickly
00:19:18.42\00:19:20.49
at places like the Grand Canyon.
00:19:20.52\00:19:23.19
Of course, none of us were there
00:19:23.22\00:19:24.93
when the Grand Canyon formed.
00:19:24.96\00:19:26.83
But little clues like this
cause many people to rethink
00:19:26.86\00:19:30.57
this idea of millions of years.
00:19:30.60\00:19:34.80
The climbing gets
steeper each step of the way.
00:19:34.84\00:19:38.37
I have to be very careful.
00:19:38.41\00:19:40.38
One misstep
would cause me to fall
00:19:40.41\00:19:42.84
and slide hundreds of
feet down the mountain.
00:19:42.88\00:19:46.92
I definitely don't
want that to happen.
00:19:46.95\00:19:49.35
The thing is,
00:19:49.38\00:19:50.72
it's actually easier
to climb on the snow,
00:19:50.75\00:19:53.12
because where there's no
snow, the ground is very loose,
00:19:53.15\00:19:57.23
and I would be
slipping every step of the way.
00:19:57.26\00:20:00.30
I'm gonna have to
put my snowshoes on soon.
00:20:00.33\00:20:04.10
As we climb higher and higher,
00:20:04.13\00:20:06.13
we get an awesome view
of Mount Adams to the east.
00:20:06.17\00:20:10.87
Well, for the rest
of the way to the top,
00:20:10.91\00:20:12.74
we're gonna need our snowshoes.
00:20:12.77\00:20:14.71
Let's get them on.
00:20:14.74\00:20:17.48
Snowshoes have these
sharp teeth on the bottom
00:20:17.51\00:20:20.02
Great for traction in the snow.
00:20:20.05\00:20:21.72
Ready, let's go.
00:20:25.52\00:20:26.92
We're getting to
such a high elevation now
00:20:38.43\00:20:41.40
that the clouds are
now going by below me.
00:20:41.44\00:20:46.71
Hour after hour I marched on.
00:20:46.74\00:20:50.25
The best way to make it up
00:20:50.28\00:20:51.88
is to have a slow,
steady hiking pace.
00:20:51.91\00:20:57.09
Eventually we'll
make it to the top.
00:20:57.12\00:20:59.42
We've been hiking for
hours. I need a break.
00:21:05.73\00:21:09.53
Actually I think I'm
going to write in my journal.
00:21:09.56\00:21:11.80
Hundreds of layers
can be deposited quickly.
00:21:23.21\00:21:29.18
Large canyons can
be formed very quickly.
00:21:29.22\00:21:32.25
It's getting a lot
colder as we go higher.
00:21:39.46\00:21:42.60
I'm sure glad I brought
some extra layers to wear,
00:21:42.63\00:21:45.80
I'm also glad I
brought a warmer hat,
00:21:45.83\00:21:48.10
but I'm sure gonna
miss my regular hat.
00:21:48.14\00:21:50.24
Time to continue the climb.
00:21:53.81\00:21:56.21
As we go higher, I
encounter crevasses now too.
00:21:56.24\00:22:00.65
Got to be careful not
to fall into one of those.
00:22:00.68\00:22:04.22
Did you know the top
1300 feet of this mountain
00:22:04.25\00:22:08.22
was blown away when it erupted?
00:22:08.26\00:22:10.53
Wow!
00:22:10.56\00:22:12.39
I'm almost
there a few more feet.
00:22:12.43\00:22:14.86
The view is incredible.
00:22:20.17\00:22:23.61
We are here at the
rim of Mount St. Helens.
00:22:29.21\00:22:33.72
From here we can look down
into the crater that was left
00:22:33.75\00:22:36.69
from the 1980 eruption.
00:22:36.72\00:22:39.25
In the middle of the
crater, we can see the lava dome
00:22:42.39\00:22:45.66
where lava continues
to form brand new rock.
00:22:45.69\00:22:51.60
Rock from the
lava dome is recent.
00:22:51.63\00:22:53.84
There's no need to
guess how old it is
00:22:53.87\00:22:55.47
because it's from
the 1980 eruption.
00:22:55.50\00:22:57.87
Nevertheless, those
new rocks down there
00:22:57.91\00:23:00.28
were tested with machines
to see how old they were.
00:23:00.31\00:23:02.98
The results,
00:23:03.01\00:23:04.35
anywhere from 350,000 years
old to 3 million years old.
00:23:04.38\00:23:10.55
Those dating
machines are pretty neat,
00:23:10.59\00:23:12.25
but not too reliable yet.
00:23:12.29\00:23:14.62
At the Grand Canyon,
some scientists tried to date
00:23:14.66\00:23:17.66
some of the rocks there, too,
00:23:17.69\00:23:19.29
and discovered that the
machine said some of the rocks
00:23:19.33\00:23:21.76
at the top were older
than the ones at the bottom.
00:23:21.80\00:23:25.37
That doesn't make sense.
00:23:25.40\00:23:27.30
But they're
still trying to work on
00:23:27.34\00:23:28.77
perfecting those machines.
00:23:28.80\00:23:31.91
Don't believe
everything people tell you,
00:23:31.94\00:23:34.18
when they tell you things
are millions of years old.
00:23:34.21\00:23:37.35
You know, this is a
pretty amazing view.
00:23:37.38\00:23:39.21
I think I'm going to sketch
this view in my sketchbook.
00:23:39.25\00:23:41.32
You know, Mount St. Helens
00:23:45.15\00:23:46.69
is actually considered
to be a small eruption.
00:23:46.72\00:23:50.09
Can you imagine what a
large one would be like?
00:23:50.13\00:23:54.20
Wow.
00:23:54.23\00:23:55.56
Well, it's a long journey back.
00:23:58.47\00:24:00.94
We better get going. Come on.
00:24:00.97\00:24:02.30
Wow, what an intense day.
00:25:17.71\00:25:20.52
I'm still amazed at
the view from the crater.
00:25:20.55\00:25:23.79
Climbing to the summit
00:25:23.82\00:25:25.15
was a lot harder than I
thought it would be too.
00:25:25.19\00:25:27.69
But wow, it was
incredible being up there.
00:25:27.72\00:25:31.56
We saw a lot of
evidence of energy underground.
00:25:31.59\00:25:34.86
It was awesome
that God used His power
00:25:34.90\00:25:37.43
to control that
underground energy
00:25:37.47\00:25:39.57
and clean up the world.
00:25:39.60\00:25:41.70
Well, I need to finish up
my report and send it to HQ.
00:25:41.74\00:25:45.87
Remember, if
you want to read it,
00:25:45.91\00:25:47.48
just go to our website.
00:25:47.51\00:25:51.08
It's awesome that
the Bible tells us
00:25:51.11\00:25:53.31
about historical
events such as the flood,
00:25:53.35\00:25:56.12
and how nature
provides little clues
00:25:56.15\00:25:58.55
about how it may have happened.
00:25:58.59\00:26:02.72
Today, we were able to see
that the existence of volcanoes
00:26:02.76\00:26:07.30
point us to little clues
that show us the Bible is true.
00:26:07.33\00:26:13.57
There is a lot of
energy underground,
00:26:13.60\00:26:16.14
just like the Bible says.
00:26:16.17\00:26:18.87
Hundreds of layers
can be deposited quickly.
00:26:18.91\00:26:23.24
Large canyons can
be formed very quickly.
00:26:23.28\00:26:26.41
I find it amazing
just how powerful God is.
00:26:31.39\00:26:35.49
Not only did He simply
speak and the world was created,
00:26:35.52\00:26:39.96
He can also
control things around us,
00:26:40.00\00:26:42.46
such as the energy
underground, and volcanoes.
00:26:42.50\00:26:46.57
The Bible tells us
how He also has control
00:26:46.60\00:26:49.17
over many other elements too,
00:26:49.20\00:26:51.31
such as water,
and fire, or the sea.
00:26:51.34\00:26:55.38
Wow.
00:26:55.41\00:26:56.75
God is so powerful
and is in total control.
00:26:56.78\00:27:00.25
I'm so glad I can
trust Him for anything.
00:27:00.28\00:27:03.62
You can too.
00:27:03.65\00:27:05.69
If you're ever afraid, or
sad, or unsure about anything,
00:27:05.72\00:27:09.66
tell God, talk to Him,
00:27:09.69\00:27:12.16
tell Him whatever you want.
00:27:12.19\00:27:14.76
Remember, He created you.
00:27:14.80\00:27:17.70
He's in total control,
00:27:17.73\00:27:19.90
He will always listen
and will never let you down.
00:27:19.93\00:27:25.07
I hope you'll join me
again for our next assignment.
00:27:25.11\00:27:28.41
Remember, God the
creator loves what He creates,
00:27:28.44\00:27:32.28
especially you.
00:27:32.31\00:27:33.82
Goodnight.
00:27:33.85\00:27:35.18
Don't go yet,
we've got bloopers.
00:27:46.56\00:27:48.76
True or false?
Why am I laughing?
00:27:55.80\00:27:58.24
It takes him out of breath.
00:28:04.61\00:28:06.61
We need you to know...
00:28:06.65\00:28:07.98
We're buried in
up to almost six.
00:28:12.39\00:28:14.76
Seems like there was a
million prepositions in.
00:28:14.79\00:28:16.42
Also take one day to happen.
00:28:21.73\00:28:23.26
