Where did we come from?
00:00:10.97\00:00:14.08
The Bible says,
00:00:14.11\00:00:15.44
"In the beginning, God created."
00:00:15.48\00:00:20.65
Evolution teaches the opposite.
00:00:20.68\00:00:22.65
No one created, it
all happened by itself.
00:00:22.68\00:00:26.19
Which one is the truth?
00:00:26.22\00:00:30.19
This is Headquarters.
00:00:30.23\00:00:34.13
Doc M,
00:00:34.16\00:00:35.50
Jacqui, and Rich.
00:00:38.63\00:00:44.81
Their job, investigate
00:00:44.84\00:00:46.88
and discover the truth.
00:00:46.91\00:00:52.38
This is The Creation Case.
00:00:52.41\00:00:54.65
Hi, Jacqui.
00:01:18.51\00:01:19.91
I have Rich's next assignment.
00:01:19.94\00:01:21.64
You do?
00:01:21.68\00:01:23.01
Mm-hm. Awesome.
00:01:23.04\00:01:24.38
What's he investigating?
00:01:24.41\00:01:25.75
You'll never guess.
00:01:25.78\00:01:27.12
Ooh!
00:01:27.15\00:01:28.48
Mystery!
00:01:28.52\00:01:29.85
Yeah.
00:01:29.88\00:01:32.02
Hey!
00:01:32.05\00:01:33.39
You got a new T-shirt.
00:01:33.42\00:01:34.76
Pretty cool!
00:01:34.79\00:01:37.46
Wait, dinos!
00:01:37.49\00:01:39.39
He's going to be
researching dinosaurs, right?
00:01:39.43\00:01:42.20
That's right.
00:01:42.23\00:01:44.73
Dinosaurs used to be my
favorite animals as a kid.
00:01:44.77\00:01:50.01
I'm not quite sure
00:01:50.04\00:01:51.64
why they were
always painted scary.
00:01:51.67\00:01:55.51
That's true.
00:01:55.54\00:01:56.88
But it would be really
cool to see one in real life.
00:01:56.91\00:01:59.71
You're right. Yeah.
00:01:59.75\00:02:01.28
That reminds me.
00:02:01.32\00:02:02.82
I just got this email,
00:02:02.85\00:02:04.39
a question today.
00:02:04.42\00:02:05.82
And it's from
Victor in Medicine Hat,
00:02:05.85\00:02:09.06
that's in Alberta, Canada.
00:02:09.09\00:02:10.73
Cool!
00:02:10.76\00:02:12.29
He says to us, "Dear,
HQ people," that's us.
00:02:12.33\00:02:15.63
Okay.
00:02:15.66\00:02:17.00
"Dinosaurs are
my favorite animals.
00:02:17.03\00:02:18.47
I like to read about them."
00:02:18.50\00:02:20.00
Ah, they're mine too.
00:02:20.04\00:02:21.54
"I've always read that
00:02:21.57\00:02:22.90
the last ones died
65 million years ago.
00:02:22.94\00:02:27.38
The thing is that in
the church last week,
00:02:27.41\00:02:29.04
the pastor talked about creation
00:02:29.08\00:02:30.48
and how God created the world
00:02:30.51\00:02:31.91
a few thousand years ago.
00:02:31.95\00:02:33.55
So when did the
dinosaurs really live?
00:02:33.58\00:02:36.99
Please help me.
00:02:37.02\00:02:39.02
Victor."
00:02:39.05\00:02:40.89
You know, he has point.
00:02:40.92\00:02:42.79
You see, my little brother,
00:02:42.82\00:02:44.16
he's in love with dinosaurs too,
00:02:44.19\00:02:45.56
and he watches this TV show.
00:02:45.59\00:02:47.50
And in the TV show,
00:02:47.53\00:02:48.86
every time they bring
up dinosaurs or the past,
00:02:48.90\00:02:51.57
they use like
millions of years ago.
00:02:51.60\00:02:55.20
We need to get this
assignment off to Rich.
00:02:55.24\00:02:57.01
Maybe he can shed some
00:02:57.04\00:02:59.44
Dino-light on it.
00:02:59.47\00:03:01.51
Okay.
00:03:01.54\00:03:03.38
Where is Rich today?
00:03:03.41\00:03:08.48
You know...
00:03:08.52\00:03:09.85
Okay, so he
sends me this message,
00:03:09.88\00:03:13.76
and I quote,
00:03:13.79\00:03:15.89
"Hanging around
in California today."
00:03:15.92\00:03:19.79
"Hanging around
in California today."
00:03:19.83\00:03:22.96
Yep.
00:03:23.00\00:03:24.33
Maybe he's taking
the day off at the beach.
00:03:24.37\00:03:28.30
It's okay! I can fix it.
00:03:28.34\00:03:31.97
All right, I'm just
going to send this to Rich.
00:03:32.01\00:03:36.41
Do you have a creation
question for Headquarters?
00:03:36.44\00:03:39.28
Send your questions
to Doc, Jacqui, and Rich
00:03:39.31\00:03:42.25
by visiting our
website at TheCreationCase.com.
00:03:42.28\00:03:46.32
Oh,
00:04:15.38\00:04:16.72
I think I got a message from HQ.
00:04:16.75\00:04:18.75
It must be our next assignment.
00:04:18.79\00:04:20.96
I better climb
up to a safe place
00:04:20.99\00:04:22.39
and check it from there.
00:04:22.42\00:04:23.76
All right, let's
see what we have here.
00:04:41.38\00:04:43.95
Hi, Rich. Jacqui here at HQ.
00:04:51.95\00:04:54.32
Doc M just gave me your
new assignment for today.
00:04:54.36\00:04:56.69
I wanted to give it to you.
00:04:56.73\00:04:58.79
It's...
00:04:58.83\00:05:00.16
Well, a little unusual today.
00:05:00.20\00:05:03.53
Unusual.
00:05:03.57\00:05:04.93
I'll say, it's a
great choice of words,
00:05:04.97\00:05:07.30
Jacqui, it's unusual.
00:05:07.34\00:05:09.50
Unusual?
00:05:09.54\00:05:10.87
Hmm, I wonder what
they have planned today.
00:05:10.91\00:05:14.18
Rich, your assignment
today is about investigating,
00:05:14.21\00:05:18.58
well... Dinosaurs.
00:05:18.61\00:05:20.88
Dinosaurs!
00:05:20.92\00:05:22.78
You heard correctly, dinosaurs.
00:05:22.82\00:05:26.29
You're hearing just
fine, Rich, dinosaurs!
00:05:26.32\00:05:29.66
Grrr!
00:05:29.69\00:05:32.66
Everywhere we turn,
00:05:32.69\00:05:34.10
it says dinosaurs
lived millions of years ago.
00:05:34.13\00:05:37.07
But the Bible says
God had created the earth
00:05:37.10\00:05:39.07
only a few thousand years ago.
00:05:39.10\00:05:41.20
So when did they live?
00:05:41.24\00:05:42.94
They both can't be right.
00:05:42.97\00:05:44.71
Your assignment today,
00:05:44.74\00:05:46.07
look for
evidence about dinosaurs.
00:05:46.11\00:05:48.94
Did they live
millions of years ago
00:05:48.98\00:05:50.81
or did they live recently?
00:05:50.85\00:05:52.65
We really look forward
to getting your report.
00:05:52.68\00:05:55.55
Grrr!
00:05:55.58\00:05:58.09
Wow! Cool!
00:05:58.12\00:05:59.45
Dinosaurs.
00:05:59.49\00:06:00.82
I better let them
know I got the message.
00:06:00.86\00:06:03.16
"Got message, dinos."
00:06:03.19\00:06:09.23
Well, that's an interesting
assignment, dinosaurs.
00:06:09.26\00:06:12.17
I wonder...
00:06:12.20\00:06:14.04
Something else.
00:06:14.07\00:06:17.31
"Roar."
00:06:17.34\00:06:19.54
That was probably Doc M.
00:06:19.57\00:06:22.78
Oh, another one.
00:06:22.81\00:06:25.78
"That was Doc M." I figured.
00:06:25.81\00:06:29.42
Well, we have our assignment.
00:06:29.45\00:06:30.89
I'm going to write
it down in my journal.
00:06:30.92\00:06:32.82
Dinosaurs.
00:06:42.10\00:06:46.97
Hmm.
00:06:47.00\00:06:48.34
Since dinosaurs are extinct,
00:06:48.37\00:06:49.70
it's not like we can
go visit one in the zoo.
00:06:49.74\00:06:52.07
How do we even
know they existed?
00:06:52.11\00:06:54.48
I know.
00:06:54.51\00:06:55.84
We need to look
for some evidence
00:06:55.88\00:06:57.21
that dinosaurs did
exist once upon a time.
00:06:57.25\00:07:00.05
We need to visit a
dinosaur tracksite.
00:07:00.08\00:07:02.08
Let's get going.
00:07:02.12\00:07:03.45
We need to get back to our jeep.
00:07:03.49\00:07:04.82
First things first, we
need to get off this mountain.
00:07:04.85\00:07:10.03
Wow, what an amazing view.
00:07:10.06\00:07:12.19
God can sure make
some awesome scenery.
00:07:12.23\00:07:14.53
All right, let's
get going on assignment.
00:07:14.56\00:07:16.70
Help us investigate today.

00:07:28.31\00:07:31.28
We're almost to the
spot here in Wyoming
00:07:53.34\00:07:55.24
where we can see a
dinosaur tracksite.
00:07:55.27\00:07:59.31
The evidence
that dinosaurs existed
00:07:59.34\00:08:01.48
has been found
on every continent.
00:08:01.51\00:08:04.25
There are thousands of
clues such as tracksites, eggs,
00:08:04.28\00:08:08.48
skin impressions, droppings,
and lots of fossil bones.
00:08:08.52\00:08:13.52
Now, of course,
dinosaurs are extinct.
00:08:13.56\00:08:17.19
Well, we're here.
00:08:21.90\00:08:23.23
But you know what, first of all,
00:08:23.26\00:08:24.60
I want to show you some replicas
00:08:24.63\00:08:25.97
of some dinosaur
claws I have with me.
00:08:26.00\00:08:29.84
Check this out. This isn't real.
00:08:29.87\00:08:32.57
It's a copy of a
velociraptor claw.
00:08:32.61\00:08:35.44
I also have one of a megaraptor.
00:08:35.48\00:08:38.55
You want to guess why
they call it a megaraptor?
00:08:38.58\00:08:41.28
Check this out.
00:08:41.32\00:08:45.29
This was a big animal.
00:08:45.32\00:08:52.29
The big question is
when did dinosaurs live.
00:08:52.33\00:08:58.73
Evolution teaches that
00:08:58.77\00:09:00.44
the last dinosaurs died off
around 65 million years ago.
00:09:00.47\00:09:06.27
On the other
hand, the Bible says
00:09:06.31\00:09:08.54
that God made all the
creatures of the earth,
00:09:08.58\00:09:11.11
and when He was done,
00:09:11.15\00:09:12.61
He said that it was good.
00:09:12.65\00:09:17.72
All right, we
are at the tracksite.
00:09:17.75\00:09:19.69
But sometimes,
they're a little hard to spot.
00:09:19.72\00:09:22.02
We need to really look around.
00:09:22.06\00:09:24.46
You know, the Bible doesn't say
00:09:24.49\00:09:26.09
that God created
some of the creatures,
00:09:26.13\00:09:28.66
it says, He created all of them.
00:09:28.70\00:09:31.23
Only God can create life.
00:09:31.27\00:09:34.04
The enemy can't create life.
00:09:34.07\00:09:36.24
He may have the
power to corrupt life.
00:09:36.27\00:09:38.67
But only God can create life.
00:09:38.71\00:09:41.34
So it would seem
that in the beginning,
00:09:41.38\00:09:44.25
God created these creatures.
00:09:44.28\00:09:46.98
Hey, I found one.
00:09:47.02\00:09:48.78
Check this out.
00:09:48.82\00:09:51.79
Dinosaurs walked
here many, many years ago.
00:09:51.82\00:09:57.63
Check out the
distance between their steps.
00:09:57.66\00:10:02.93
That's a really neat track.
00:10:02.96\00:10:04.60
You know, I think I'm
going to try to sketch it
00:10:04.63\00:10:06.47
in my journal.
00:10:06.50\00:10:07.84
A lot of people assume
00:10:07.87\00:10:09.24
God couldn't have
created dinosaurs,
00:10:09.27\00:10:11.01
they're so scary.
00:10:11.04\00:10:12.37
But if you think about it,
00:10:12.41\00:10:13.74
there's a bunch of
scary things out there,
00:10:13.78\00:10:15.28
like crocodiles,
and tigers, or wolves,
00:10:15.31\00:10:18.51
or other scary creatures,
like scorpions and wasps,
00:10:18.55\00:10:21.92
and there's even scary
plants that are poisonous
00:10:21.95\00:10:24.25
or filled with thorns.
00:10:24.29\00:10:26.45
Still, not all
dinosaurs were scary,
00:10:26.49\00:10:28.72
some were probably friendly.
00:10:28.76\00:10:31.36
Dinosaurs seem scary,
00:10:31.39\00:10:32.83
but they're not the only
scary creatures out there.
00:10:32.86\00:10:34.86
The world is
filled with scary animals.
00:10:34.90\00:10:39.13
Did God create them this way?
00:10:39.17\00:10:41.00
Probably not.
00:10:41.04\00:10:42.37
Something changed.
00:10:42.40\00:10:43.74
Something happened.
00:10:43.77\00:10:45.71
No one knows
exactly how it happened,
00:10:45.74\00:10:47.68
but the Bible
gives us some clues.
00:10:47.71\00:10:50.35
Genesis 3 says
that as a result of sin,
00:10:50.38\00:10:54.35
a curse or punishment resulted.
00:10:54.38\00:10:58.09
Since the enemy had
been disguised as a serpent,
00:10:58.12\00:11:00.66
it appears he had some
control over the animal kingdom.
00:11:00.69\00:11:05.76
No one knows for sure,
00:11:05.79\00:11:07.33
but it would appear
that from that day forward,
00:11:07.36\00:11:10.73
sin caused many sad changes
00:11:10.77\00:11:13.54
to come over the animal kingdom.
00:11:13.57\00:11:17.54
The most severe
result of sin was death.
00:11:17.57\00:11:21.64
Every living thing
would eventually have to die.
00:11:21.68\00:11:26.01
It sounds like all living things
00:11:26.05\00:11:28.35
were physically changed,
00:11:28.38\00:11:29.72
including dinosaurs.
00:11:29.75\00:11:31.59
I'm going to write
that down in my journal.
00:11:31.62\00:11:33.36
Only God can create life.
00:11:38.39\00:11:41.10
Many sad changes
in the animal kingdom
00:11:45.37\00:11:48.37
were the results of sin.
00:11:48.40\00:11:53.61
We should keep in mind
that the enemy also has powers,
00:11:53.64\00:11:56.81
not to create life
but maybe to corrupt life.
00:11:56.85\00:11:59.31
Dinosaur tracks are pretty neat,
00:12:02.52\00:12:04.39
but is it possible to
actually see a dinosaur?
00:12:04.42\00:12:08.59
You know, there's
a dinosaur excavation
00:12:08.62\00:12:10.53
going on right now
00:12:10.56\00:12:11.89
right here in Wyoming.
00:12:11.93\00:12:13.26
It would be great to go
see where they're pulling out
00:12:13.29\00:12:15.03
the fossilized
bones out of the ground.
00:12:15.06\00:12:17.30
Let's get back to the jeep.
00:12:17.33\00:12:18.67
Hi, everyone, Doc M here at HQ.
00:12:29.54\00:12:33.31
We sent Rich out to
investigate dinosaurs today.
00:12:33.35\00:12:36.08
But here at
Headquarters, we can help too.
00:12:36.12\00:12:39.32
I started digging around
00:12:39.35\00:12:40.69
and found some
interesting things.
00:12:40.72\00:12:42.19
I want to tell you about it.
00:12:42.22\00:12:43.89
I love playing
with my Dino toys.
00:12:43.93\00:12:45.39
But you know what,
00:12:45.43\00:12:46.76
some people think
dinosaurs never even existed.
00:12:46.80\00:12:50.37
Someone might be wrong.
00:12:50.40\00:12:52.80
Okay, so let's
look at some pictures.
00:12:52.83\00:12:56.07
This will be fun.
00:12:56.10\00:13:01.14
Dinosaurs are cool.
00:13:01.18\00:13:02.84
And there's
actually a lot of evidence
00:13:02.88\00:13:04.28
that dinosaurs really did exist.
00:13:04.31\00:13:07.28
For example,
00:13:07.32\00:13:08.65
we find lots of
fossilized dinosaur bones
00:13:08.68\00:13:11.25
buried and
preserved in the ground.
00:13:11.29\00:13:13.22
This makes sense since
according to the Bible,
00:13:13.25\00:13:16.66
tons of them would have
been buried during the flood.
00:13:16.69\00:13:20.03
Oh, look at this big old bone.
00:13:20.06\00:13:24.10
We also find dinosaur eggs,
a bunch of shapes and sizes.
00:13:24.13\00:13:28.20
Wow!
00:13:28.24\00:13:29.57
Sometimes, the embryo
inside is even fossilized
00:13:29.60\00:13:33.04
like this one.
00:13:33.07\00:13:34.71
Here's another dinosaur fossil.
00:13:34.74\00:13:36.78
This is called coprolite.
00:13:36.81\00:13:39.35
That's actually
the scientific word
00:13:39.38\00:13:41.32
for fossilized droppings.
00:13:41.35\00:13:43.75
I know. That's kind of gross,
00:13:43.79\00:13:45.59
but dinosaurs had to
go to the bathroom too.
00:13:45.62\00:13:48.76
Another evidence is
dinosaur footprints.
00:13:48.79\00:13:51.53
There are many dinosaur
tracksites all over the world
00:13:51.56\00:13:54.86
showing where dinosaurs walked,
00:13:54.90\00:13:56.77
and they're in
all shapes and sizes.
00:13:56.80\00:14:00.04
Even impressions of their
skin have been fossilized.
00:14:00.07\00:14:03.34
Wow!
00:14:03.37\00:14:04.71
There's a ton of evidence
00:14:04.74\00:14:06.47
that dinosaurs really did exist.
00:14:06.51\00:14:09.08
And still, some people choose
to believe they never existed.
00:14:09.11\00:14:13.88
Don't you find
that kind of strange?
00:14:13.92\00:14:16.72
There's even lots
of ancient drawings
00:14:16.75\00:14:18.99
and carvings of
strange creatures
00:14:19.02\00:14:21.59
that resemble dinosaurs.
00:14:21.62\00:14:23.29
No one knows what
they really are for sure.
00:14:23.32\00:14:26.09
But just by
looking at fossils alone,
00:14:26.13\00:14:29.16
we can know for sure
00:14:29.20\00:14:30.97
that dinosaurs
definitely existed.
00:14:31.00\00:14:33.80
And you know what,
00:14:33.84\00:14:35.34
only God can
create living things.
00:14:35.37\00:14:38.97
Yet again,
00:14:39.01\00:14:40.91
I am convinced
00:14:40.94\00:14:43.61
that God is my Creator.
00:14:43.65\00:14:45.88
Hey, everyone,
it's me Rich Aguilera.
00:14:49.35\00:14:51.62
I'd love to see you at
one of our live events.
00:14:51.65\00:14:54.26
To see where I'll be speaking,
00:14:54.29\00:14:55.96
visit our website,
TheCreationCase.com.
00:14:55.99\00:14:59.43
We are in Eastern Wyoming,
not too far from South Dakota.
00:15:18.85\00:15:22.58
The place that
we're going to be digging
00:15:22.62\00:15:23.95
is about a mile from
here, and we have to go on foot.
00:15:23.99\00:15:25.89
Come on.
00:15:25.92\00:15:31.89
In the past,
scientists working here
00:15:31.93\00:15:34.43
say they've uncovered
three basic types of dinosaurs,
00:15:34.46\00:15:37.40
triceratops, tyrannosaurus
Rex, and edmontosaurus.
00:15:37.43\00:15:42.30
Wyoming is a great place
00:15:49.21\00:15:51.28
to hunt around
for dinosaur fossils.
00:15:51.31\00:15:53.42
Hey, look,
00:15:57.29\00:15:58.65
there's dinosaur fossils just
laying around on the ground.
00:15:58.69\00:16:03.02
Many scientists report
00:16:03.06\00:16:04.56
that they find
these dinosaur bones
00:16:04.59\00:16:06.06
and that they're 60, 100,
even 200 million years old.
00:16:06.09\00:16:10.87
Did they really
live that long ago?
00:16:10.90\00:16:13.90
Did you know
that a few years ago,
00:16:13.94\00:16:15.27
a scientist in Montana
found some fossils of T-rexes
00:16:15.30\00:16:18.97
that is causing a stir
in the scientific community?
00:16:19.01\00:16:21.91
In one of its leg bones,
00:16:21.94\00:16:23.28
they discovered soft
unfossilized blood vessels,
00:16:23.31\00:16:27.38
blood cells, and soft tissues.
00:16:27.42\00:16:30.39
Scientists are
coming forward now
00:16:30.42\00:16:31.92
and saying that it's impossible
00:16:31.95\00:16:33.49
that a dinosaur
could remain unfossilized
00:16:33.52\00:16:35.92
for 70 million years.
00:16:35.96\00:16:37.66
They say it shouldn't even
last a couple of thousand years
00:16:37.69\00:16:40.10
without becoming fossilized.
00:16:40.13\00:16:41.83
Actually, I have a picture
of that here on my phone.
00:16:41.86\00:16:44.23
Check this out.
00:16:44.27\00:16:45.60
Soft tissues from a
T-Rex. That's incredible.
00:16:49.37\00:16:52.27
Scientists are examining it,
00:16:52.31\00:16:53.78
even talking about
the awful stench of decay.
00:16:53.81\00:16:58.91
Sadly,
00:16:58.95\00:17:00.28
many scientists are
still hanging on to the belief
00:17:00.32\00:17:02.92
that dinosaurs lived
millions of years ago
00:17:02.95\00:17:06.42
instead of studying
the possibilities that,
00:17:06.45\00:17:08.62
"Hey, maybe they
did live more recently."
00:17:08.66\00:17:11.29
Scientists are
now working harder
00:17:11.33\00:17:13.09
to try to figure
out how to explain
00:17:13.13\00:17:15.06
how soft tissue
00:17:15.10\00:17:16.46
could have survived
for 70 million years
00:17:16.50\00:17:19.30
without being fossilized.
00:17:19.33\00:17:23.81
In the meantime,
00:17:23.84\00:17:25.17
more and more
examples of soft tissues
00:17:25.21\00:17:27.34
are being found
in dinosaur fossils.
00:17:27.38\00:17:34.02
We're going to do a
little digging today.
00:17:34.05\00:17:36.12
I hope we find some fossils.
00:17:36.15\00:17:37.49
As always, safety
is very important.
00:17:43.49\00:17:46.83
Using the right
tools also helps us
00:17:46.86\00:17:49.00
to be careful
around the fossils.
00:17:49.03\00:17:53.94
Hey, check out this
fossil I'm working on.
00:17:53.97\00:17:56.07
This is from an edmontosaurus,
this is the hip bone.
00:17:56.10\00:17:59.54
We need to excavate
really carefully around it
00:17:59.57\00:18:02.01
so we don't damage it.
00:18:02.04\00:18:04.41
It's fun to
learn about dinosaurs,
00:18:04.45\00:18:06.58
but we'll never know everything.
00:18:06.61\00:18:08.65
We don't even know
what they look like,
00:18:08.68\00:18:10.65
if they had fur or
what color they were.
00:18:10.69\00:18:15.96
One neat piece of evidence
about this site here in Wyoming
00:18:15.99\00:18:19.43
is the graded beds.
00:18:19.46\00:18:21.16
One of evolutions theories
00:18:21.20\00:18:22.80
is that dinosaurs
died in small local floods
00:18:22.83\00:18:25.83
or that they got
swept away by a river,
00:18:25.87\00:18:28.04
but that they just
died one at a time.
00:18:28.07\00:18:31.21
But the evidence here proves
00:18:31.24\00:18:32.94
that a large catastrophic
event killed the animals first
00:18:32.97\00:18:36.41
and then deposited
them to this location.
00:18:36.44\00:18:39.75
Scientists know that
00:18:39.78\00:18:41.18
because the
fossils that we find here
00:18:41.22\00:18:42.82
have been sorted.
00:18:42.85\00:18:44.19
That's why we find
large fossils on the bottom,
00:18:44.22\00:18:47.16
the medium ones
higher up, and on the top,
00:18:47.19\00:18:49.22
we find the smallest ones.
00:18:49.26\00:18:50.73
That's called a graded bed.
00:18:50.76\00:18:52.69
The only way that they
could be sorted this way
00:18:52.73\00:18:55.56
is by being all
brought here by one huge flood.
00:18:55.60\00:19:02.40
Genesis vividly
describes the account
00:19:02.44\00:19:04.97
of a giant global flood.
00:19:05.01\00:19:06.98
Does the Bible
talk about dinosaurs?
00:19:10.18\00:19:12.51
Well, it doesn't
use the word dinosaurs
00:19:12.55\00:19:14.05
'cause it's a pretty new word.
00:19:14.08\00:19:15.65
But it does talk about dragons
00:19:15.68\00:19:17.09
and it mentions
them over 30 times,
00:19:17.12\00:19:19.42
and it describes them
as these big mean animals
00:19:19.45\00:19:21.76
that lived at that time.
00:19:21.79\00:19:23.86
Were these real animals?
00:19:23.89\00:19:26.09
No one knows what
those animals really were.
00:19:26.13\00:19:30.93
Verses in the Bible
talk about the place
00:19:30.97\00:19:33.54
where dragons live
00:19:33.57\00:19:34.97
or about slaying
the dragons in the sea
00:19:35.00\00:19:37.77
or about being
swallowed up by a dragon.
00:19:37.81\00:19:40.88
Were these dragons
in the Bible dinosaurs?
00:19:40.91\00:19:44.68
I don't know.
00:19:44.71\00:19:46.38
Many scholars think those verses
00:19:46.41\00:19:48.18
were more poetic
and metaphorical.
00:19:48.22\00:19:50.82
But again, no
one knows for sure.
00:19:50.85\00:19:55.09
The book of Isaiah writes about
fiery flying serpents in Egypt
00:19:55.12\00:19:59.33
just like the ones
Herodotus wrote about.
00:19:59.36\00:20:01.76
The book of Job describes
an animal called the behemoth,
00:20:01.80\00:20:04.83
a huge animal
with a humongous tail.
00:20:04.87\00:20:07.64
The book of Job also describes
an animal called the leviathan,
00:20:07.67\00:20:11.34
a huge, scaly sea monster,
00:20:11.37\00:20:13.71
and everybody was
terrified of that.
00:20:13.74\00:20:15.81
And that's not all,
the creature leviathan
00:20:15.84\00:20:18.91
is also mentioned in the
books of Psalms and Isaiah.
00:20:18.95\00:20:24.52
Again, no one knows for
sure what these animals are
00:20:24.55\00:20:27.56
that are being
described in the Bible.
00:20:27.59\00:20:29.66
Some think they may be
jackals or hippos or crocodiles,
00:20:29.69\00:20:33.80
but some of the descriptions
don't fit any animals
00:20:33.83\00:20:36.40
that are alive today.
00:20:36.43\00:20:38.07
It's a bit of a mystery.
00:20:38.10\00:20:41.17
Come on.
00:20:41.20\00:20:42.54
Let's go check out
other parts of the quarry.
00:20:42.57\00:20:44.41
So what happened
to all the dinosaurs?
00:20:56.55\00:20:58.99
We know, from all
the dinosaur fossils
00:20:59.02\00:21:00.69
that we find,
00:21:00.72\00:21:02.06
that many were buried
00:21:02.09\00:21:03.43
in some sort of
water-related catastrophe.
00:21:03.46\00:21:06.43
They all got buried
rapidly and preserved
00:21:06.46\00:21:08.76
underground.
00:21:08.80\00:21:10.13
Otherwise, if
they're left on the surface,
00:21:10.17\00:21:11.50
they're not going
to last very long,
00:21:11.53\00:21:12.87
they're going to decay,
00:21:12.90\00:21:14.24
or scavengers are
going to get them.
00:21:14.27\00:21:15.74
All over the
planet, on every continent,
00:21:15.77\00:21:17.61
there are billions
and billions of creatures
00:21:17.64\00:21:19.87
that have been buried by
some water-related catastrophe,
00:21:19.91\00:21:23.28
mammals, birds, reptiles, fish,
00:21:23.31\00:21:25.91
insects, and
yes, even dinosaurs.
00:21:25.95\00:21:29.88
With evidence of billions
and billions of creatures
00:21:29.92\00:21:32.55
buried by water and
mud all over our planet,
00:21:32.59\00:21:35.39
you would think it would
be just easy enough to say,
00:21:35.42\00:21:37.63
"Everything got buried
00:21:37.66\00:21:38.99
by water and mud on our planet."
00:21:39.03\00:21:42.63
But evolution
cannot agree to that
00:21:42.66\00:21:45.80
because that would mean
there was a global flood.
00:21:45.83\00:21:49.54
A global flood
means the Bible is true.
00:21:49.57\00:21:53.64
And if the Bible is true,
00:21:53.68\00:21:55.48
that means God
created the world.
00:21:55.51\00:21:59.51
It's really sad to think
that some people are missing out
00:21:59.55\00:22:03.62
on the Bible truths
00:22:03.65\00:22:04.99
that tell us where we came from.
00:22:05.02\00:22:07.32
The Bible says that
God destroyed the world
00:22:13.63\00:22:16.23
with a huge global flood.
00:22:16.26\00:22:18.47
A handful of animals were saved,
00:22:18.50\00:22:20.60
but the rest of the animals
on the planet were destroyed.
00:22:20.64\00:22:23.61
They were buried
by the floodwaters.
00:22:23.64\00:22:27.21
If we compare the
things that the Bible says
00:22:27.24\00:22:30.25
to the things that
we see on this planet,
00:22:30.28\00:22:33.05
they go together quite neatly.
00:22:33.08\00:22:34.75
So were dinosaurs on the ark?
00:22:42.19\00:22:45.99
I don't know.
00:22:46.03\00:22:47.36
That's a really good question.
00:22:47.40\00:22:49.26
But what I do know
00:22:49.30\00:22:50.77
is the Bible says
that two of every animal
00:22:50.80\00:22:53.13
was on the ark.
00:22:53.17\00:22:54.84
If there were
dinosaurs on the ark,
00:22:54.87\00:22:57.07
I've got to assume that God
would have sent the young ones,
00:22:57.11\00:23:00.14
not the big old giant ones.
00:23:00.18\00:23:03.88
That's the other thing.
00:23:03.91\00:23:05.25
The Bible says
that before the flood,
00:23:05.28\00:23:07.22
men used to live
hundreds of years.
00:23:07.25\00:23:09.62
Methuselah lived 969 years.
00:23:09.65\00:23:12.39
But after the
flood, something changed
00:23:12.42\00:23:14.92
and they started
living shorter lives.
00:23:14.96\00:23:17.99
So is it possible that
animals before the flood
00:23:18.03\00:23:21.86
could also live longer lives?
00:23:21.90\00:23:24.03
Could a turtle
live to 1,000 years?
00:23:24.07\00:23:26.47
Could an insect
live for 50 years?
00:23:26.50\00:23:29.00
Could a reptile
live for 500 years?
00:23:29.04\00:23:32.67
We do find
fossils of giant animals
00:23:32.71\00:23:34.91
that lived in the past.
00:23:34.94\00:23:36.34
For example, giant turtles,
00:23:36.38\00:23:38.28
I got a picture
here on my phone.
00:23:38.31\00:23:44.82
Or giant dragonflies,
00:23:44.85\00:23:47.02
huge ones with a
two-foot wingspan.
00:23:47.06\00:23:49.46
What about large reptiles?
00:23:54.70\00:23:57.30
Did you know that
reptiles never stop growing?
00:23:57.33\00:24:00.80
What would happen if a
reptile lived for 500 years
00:24:00.84\00:24:04.41
and never stopped growing?
00:24:04.44\00:24:06.24
It would become
pretty large like a dinosaur.
00:24:06.27\00:24:11.61
After all, many
dinosaurs were reptiles.
00:24:11.65\00:24:17.45
There sure are a lot of
unanswered questions out there.
00:24:17.49\00:24:20.92
I just hope that someday soon,
I can ask God those questions.
00:24:20.96\00:24:25.69
You know,
00:24:25.73\00:24:27.06
I think I'm going to write
all this down in my journal.
00:24:27.10\00:24:28.46
Dinosaurs are extinct creatures
that used to grow very large.
00:24:38.44\00:24:42.84
The world is filled
with dinosaur fossils
00:24:49.88\00:24:53.25
which were buried by water.
00:24:53.29\00:24:55.72
It sure seems
like the dinosaur clues
00:24:55.76\00:24:57.79
we've seen today show us
that dinosaurs lived recently,
00:24:57.83\00:25:02.03
not millions of years ago.
00:25:02.06\00:25:04.27
Clues such as soft tissues
00:25:04.30\00:25:06.37
and old memories and
legends are evidences
00:25:06.40\00:25:09.17
that some extinct creatures
died in enormous quantities
00:25:09.20\00:25:12.77
during the flood.
00:25:12.81\00:25:14.14
Wow! What an amazing day.
00:25:19.65\00:25:22.15
It's amazing
that we were pulling
00:25:22.18\00:25:24.02
fossilized dinosaur
bones out of the ground today.
00:25:24.05\00:25:27.46
It's cool to think,
I was the first person
00:25:27.49\00:25:30.46
to uncover a part of an animal
00:25:30.49\00:25:32.69
that was probably buried
at the time of the flood.
00:25:32.73\00:25:35.90
There's a lot about
dinosaurs we don't know,
00:25:35.93\00:25:38.07
but it sure is fun
00:25:38.10\00:25:39.43
trying to learn about them.
00:25:39.47\00:25:40.80
One thing I know for
sure, only God can create life.
00:25:40.84\00:25:45.47
Well, I need to
finish up my report
00:25:45.51\00:25:47.81
and send it off to HQ.
00:25:47.84\00:25:49.58
Remember, if
you want to read it,
00:25:49.61\00:25:51.28
just go to our website.
00:25:51.31\00:25:58.15
We sure learned some
amazing things today.
00:25:58.19\00:26:01.99
We were reminded that
only God can create life
00:26:02.02\00:26:05.86
and how sin
affected all of nature.
00:26:05.89\00:26:10.17
We also learned how dinosaurs
are just extinct reptiles
00:26:10.20\00:26:14.14
that grew to be very, very big.
00:26:14.17\00:26:18.41
The time we spent at the dig
00:26:18.44\00:26:20.54
showed us how so
many of these animals
00:26:20.58\00:26:23.21
died at the time of the flood.
00:26:23.24\00:26:25.38
Many people out
there don't want to believe
00:26:29.98\00:26:32.72
that God is our creator.
00:26:32.75\00:26:34.72
Instead, they choose
to believe in evolution
00:26:34.76\00:26:38.06
and that all the millions
of complex creatures out there
00:26:38.09\00:26:40.90
evolved from
random chemical mixing.
00:26:40.93\00:26:44.50
No, it was God who
created everything,
00:26:44.53\00:26:48.64
and His most prized
possession, people, you.
00:26:48.67\00:26:54.34
The Bible says you
are God's workmanship.
00:26:54.38\00:26:57.65
Can you imagine
00:26:57.68\00:26:59.11
the God who has the power
00:26:59.15\00:27:00.68
to speak
something into existence
00:27:00.72\00:27:03.79
created you?
00:27:03.82\00:27:05.29
Who you are on the
inside is what's most important,
00:27:05.32\00:27:09.52
but still He knows
everything about you,
00:27:09.56\00:27:13.13
including the amount
of hairs on your head.
00:27:13.16\00:27:16.53
You were created unique,
00:27:16.56\00:27:18.73
special, by a
powerful loving God.
00:27:18.77\00:27:22.64
I hope that you
will never forget that.
00:27:22.67\00:27:25.31
Well, I hope
you'll join me again
00:27:25.34\00:27:27.68
for our next assignment.
00:27:27.71\00:27:29.04
And remember, God the Creator
00:27:29.08\00:27:31.48
loves what He's
created, especially you.
00:27:31.51\00:27:35.08
Good night.
00:27:35.12\00:27:36.45
Don't go yet,
we've got bloopers.
00:27:46.86\00:27:49.63
Dragon flags.
00:27:49.66\00:27:51.57
Honestly, dragon flags?
That there were at least...
00:27:51.60\00:27:54.50
Man!
00:27:54.54\00:27:55.90
So close.
00:27:55.94\00:27:59.51
Wow! Off this rock.
00:27:59.54\00:28:03.95
Here, but you know what...
00:28:03.98\00:28:10.79
Sorry. I can fix it.
00:28:10.82\00:28:12.75
Because the word was...
00:28:12.79\00:28:15.42
We find tripping
manure stuff here
00:28:15.46\00:28:17.49
and most of
these are cow patties.
00:28:17.53\00:28:18.86
I better write
this down in my...
00:28:18.89\00:28:24.03
I wasn't even close.
00:28:24.07\00:28:25.40
