Where did we come from?
00:00:11.17\00:00:14.28
The Bible says, "In
the beginning God created."
00:00:14.31\00:00:20.78
Evolution teaches the opposite.
00:00:20.82\00:00:22.88
No one created,
00:00:22.92\00:00:24.25
it all happened by itself.
00:00:24.29\00:00:26.39
Which one is the truth?
00:00:26.42\00:00:27.76
This is Headquarters,
00:00:30.53\00:00:34.36
Doc M,
00:00:34.40\00:00:35.73
Jacqui,
00:00:38.83\00:00:41.30
and Rich,
00:00:41.34\00:00:45.14
their job, investigate
and discover the truth.
00:00:45.17\00:00:48.64
This is The Creation Case.
00:00:52.55\00:00:54.95
Jacqui?
00:01:17.74\00:01:19.17
Yes, Doc M.
00:01:19.21\00:01:20.54
I love getting emails.
00:01:20.58\00:01:22.68
But this one is
especially far out.
00:01:22.71\00:01:24.88
Really? What does it say?
00:01:24.91\00:01:26.45
Well, it's from
Kevin in Perth, Australia.
00:01:26.48\00:01:30.29
Perth?
00:01:30.32\00:01:31.65
Wow, that's pretty far out.
00:01:31.69\00:01:33.25
It is.
00:01:33.29\00:01:34.62
He writes, "Good day, Doc M.
00:01:34.66\00:01:36.93
How you doing, mate?"
00:01:36.96\00:01:38.86
Doc M, you don't have to try
00:01:38.89\00:01:40.73
and talk with an
Australian accent.
00:01:40.76\00:01:43.47
Oh!
00:01:43.50\00:01:45.23
Well, he writes,
00:01:45.27\00:01:46.94
"Last night, I was watching
00:01:46.97\00:01:48.30
my favorite TV
show Space City Ranger."
00:01:48.34\00:01:50.04
Oh!
00:01:50.07\00:01:51.41
That's nice.
00:01:51.44\00:01:52.77
"I never miss an episode.
00:01:52.81\00:01:54.14
In this episode
General Noah sent RG-89
00:01:54.18\00:01:56.48
back in time a million
years in a time machine
00:01:56.51\00:01:58.45
to save planet Aurora.
00:01:58.48\00:02:00.35
I know these are just stories,
00:02:00.38\00:02:02.05
but it seems
like all space stories
00:02:02.08\00:02:03.92
take place way in the
future or way in the past.
00:02:03.95\00:02:07.02
Is there anything in
real life about space
00:02:07.06\00:02:09.09
that can tell us about creation?
00:02:09.12\00:02:11.06
Cheers, Kevin."
00:02:11.09\00:02:13.13
Wow!
00:02:13.16\00:02:14.50
That's pretty impressive.
00:02:14.53\00:02:15.86
He must really
like that TV show,
00:02:15.90\00:02:17.67
considering he's
never missed an episode.
00:02:17.70\00:02:20.20
Well, I've heard it's a
pretty interesting show.
00:02:20.24\00:02:23.30
I guess.
00:02:23.34\00:02:24.67
But can something
so far from the truth
00:02:24.71\00:02:27.38
even be that entertaining?
00:02:27.41\00:02:30.15
Yes.
00:02:30.18\00:02:32.91
Doc M, is that a
Space Invaders T-shirt?
00:02:32.95\00:02:36.82
What are you talking about?
00:02:36.85\00:02:38.39
Doc M, what is your T-shirt say?
00:02:38.42\00:02:41.76
Space City Rangers Cadet?
00:02:46.86\00:02:51.40
What?
00:02:51.43\00:02:52.77
Tell me, you don't want
a cool T-shirt like this.
00:02:52.80\00:02:56.54
No, I'm good.
00:02:56.57\00:02:58.24
I'm just going to get
00:02:58.27\00:02:59.61
this whole space
thing over to Rich
00:02:59.64\00:03:01.44
and see if he
can investigate it.
00:03:01.48\00:03:04.01
By the way,
where is Rich anyway?
00:03:04.05\00:03:07.95
I don't know,
but I do recall him
00:03:07.98\00:03:10.69
saying something about
trying not to get stuck.
00:03:10.72\00:03:15.86
Stuck?
00:03:15.89\00:03:18.33
What is he up to today?
00:03:18.36\00:03:20.10
I'm okay.
00:03:25.30\00:03:27.34
All right, I'm just going
to send this over to Rich now.
00:03:27.37\00:03:32.81
Do you have a creation
question for headquarters?
00:03:32.84\00:03:35.81
Send your questions
to Doc, Jacqui, and Rich
00:03:35.84\00:03:38.61
by visiting our
website at TheCreationCase.com.
00:03:38.65\00:03:42.65
Hey, I think we
have a message from HQ.
00:04:22.76\00:04:24.39
It's probably
our new assignment.
00:04:29.56\00:04:33.67
Well, I might as
well check it now.
00:04:33.70\00:04:35.64
Doesn't look like
I'm going anywhere soon.
00:04:35.67\00:04:37.27
Hi, Rich.
00:04:41.01\00:04:42.34
I hoping you're doing
well and not stuck or anything.
00:04:42.38\00:04:46.38
How does she know?
00:04:46.41\00:04:48.88
Doc M has your
next assignment ready.
00:04:48.92\00:04:51.35
We need you to
investigate space.
00:04:51.39\00:04:54.59
Of course, you can't
travel to space or anything
00:04:54.62\00:04:57.43
but explore any
creation evidence
00:04:57.46\00:04:59.89
about space,
00:04:59.93\00:05:01.86
we can learn from
here on planet earth.
00:05:01.90\00:05:05.67
Rich, you're not
stuck again, are you?
00:05:05.70\00:05:10.87
He'll be fine, Doc M.
00:05:10.91\00:05:12.24
Last time he was
only stuck for two hours.
00:05:12.27\00:05:15.94
We look forward to your report.
00:05:15.98\00:05:19.11
I can explain.
00:05:19.15\00:05:20.48
All I did was I
twisted my foot like this.
00:05:20.52\00:05:22.82
Wow!
00:05:22.85\00:05:24.75
I'm okay!
00:05:24.79\00:05:26.32
At least, I'm free again.
00:05:26.35\00:05:28.32
Space. That sounds fun.
00:05:31.49\00:05:34.30
Let's let HQ
know I'm on the case.
00:05:34.33\00:05:37.87
Got it.
00:05:37.90\00:05:39.37
Space.
00:05:39.40\00:05:42.54
You know, there
is a name for this,
00:05:42.57\00:05:44.21
the study of the
universe is called cosmology.
00:05:44.24\00:05:49.54
Cosmology, that's what
I'm going to call my report.
00:05:49.58\00:05:52.45
I better get this
down in my journal.
00:05:52.48\00:05:53.85
Cosmology.
00:05:59.99\00:06:02.46
Cosmology?
00:06:05.46\00:06:07.93
Where do we begin?
00:06:07.96\00:06:09.73
Hmm, this is a tough one.
00:06:09.76\00:06:12.57
It's getting late, so
we better get back to camp,
00:06:12.60\00:06:15.04
and I'll figure
this out in the morning.
00:06:15.07\00:06:16.94
Right now, let's get
out of this slot canyon,
00:06:16.97\00:06:19.24
hopefully without
getting stuck again.
00:06:19.27\00:06:21.24
Help us investigate today.

00:06:32.52\00:06:35.42
Well, we finally made
it out of that slot canyon.
00:06:41.26\00:06:44.47
First thing in the morning,
00:06:44.50\00:06:45.83
we'll be starting
our investigation.
00:06:45.87\00:06:47.20
Wow, what a great
night to look at stars.
00:06:53.04\00:06:58.15
A lot of people
look to space for answers
00:06:58.18\00:07:00.82
on how and when
everything started.
00:07:00.85\00:07:03.89
Fortunately, the Bible
tells us how the universe began.
00:07:03.92\00:07:09.16
It's interesting
how man's science books
00:07:09.19\00:07:11.49
are constantly changing,
00:07:11.53\00:07:13.13
as scientists
discover they're wrong
00:07:13.16\00:07:15.33
and have to correct them.
00:07:15.36\00:07:18.40
You know, the nice thing
00:07:18.43\00:07:20.04
is that the Bible never changes,
00:07:20.07\00:07:22.37
it never needs to.
00:07:22.40\00:07:24.01
It's the Word of God.
00:07:24.04\00:07:25.97
Still,
00:07:26.01\00:07:27.34
does the Bible say anything
about space or cosmology?
00:07:27.38\00:07:30.58
The Book of Job
refers to planet earth
00:07:30.61\00:07:32.88
as suspended in space.
00:07:32.91\00:07:35.62
And Isaiah refers to
the earth as being round.
00:07:35.65\00:07:39.42
Remember, some ancient cultures
thought the world was flat.
00:07:39.45\00:07:43.16
What about the moon?
00:07:51.37\00:07:53.23
I set up my telescope because
it's a beautiful clear night.
00:07:53.27\00:07:56.81
Why don't we take a peek?
00:07:56.84\00:07:58.21
The moon,
00:07:58.24\00:07:59.57
quite an amazing
object floating in our sky.
00:07:59.61\00:08:02.81
Secular astronomers
have lots of questions
00:08:02.84\00:08:05.55
but few answers about the moon.
00:08:05.58\00:08:07.98
How long is it been there?
00:08:08.02\00:08:09.45
How did it get
into such a nice orbit?
00:08:09.48\00:08:12.19
How did it get perfectly around?
00:08:12.22\00:08:15.79
That's not all,
00:08:15.82\00:08:17.16
there's more problems.
00:08:17.19\00:08:20.03
Atheists or people
that don't believe in God
00:08:20.06\00:08:23.53
actually did not
like the Big Bang Theory
00:08:23.57\00:08:26.13
because it's basically saying
00:08:26.17\00:08:28.00
that our universe
simply formed out of nothing,
00:08:28.04\00:08:30.87
all by itself.
00:08:30.91\00:08:32.47
And they're realizing
00:08:32.51\00:08:33.84
that it's not a very
scientific explanation
00:08:33.88\00:08:36.71
to say that our
wonderful complex universe
00:08:36.75\00:08:40.05
simply created itself.
00:08:40.08\00:08:43.75
Have you ever heard of matter,
00:08:43.79\00:08:45.49
such as stars and planets
appearing out of nothing?
00:08:45.52\00:08:49.56
Or energy
appearing out of nothing?
00:08:49.59\00:08:52.53
Or what about space?
00:08:52.56\00:08:54.53
How does space get made?
00:08:54.56\00:08:56.67
Or what about time?
00:08:56.70\00:08:58.30
How could the idea of
time have created itself?
00:08:58.33\00:09:03.64
I think, I'm
going to write that down
00:09:03.67\00:09:05.47
in my journal.
00:09:05.51\00:09:06.84
Believing that a universe
could simply create itself
00:09:11.38\00:09:14.62
is not very scientific.
00:09:14.65\00:09:16.22
You know, this is a
nice little telescope,
00:09:20.32\00:09:22.66
but people that
look deep into space
00:09:22.69\00:09:25.09
use larger telescopes.
00:09:25.13\00:09:27.50
Optical
telescopes look into space
00:09:27.53\00:09:29.93
and radio
telescopes listen to space.
00:09:29.96\00:09:33.44
We should go visit one.
00:09:33.47\00:09:35.00
There's a radio telescope array
00:09:35.04\00:09:37.04
a couple states
away in California.
00:09:37.07\00:09:39.71
An array means
there's a whole bunch of them.
00:09:39.74\00:09:43.14
We'll have to go
first thing in the morning.
00:09:43.18\00:09:44.95
Telescopes are always located
far away from everything.
00:10:09.84\00:10:13.21
To visit a radio telescope,
we need to go somewhere so far
00:10:13.24\00:10:16.41
that there's no
radio interference
00:10:16.44\00:10:18.21
with their signal.
00:10:18.25\00:10:20.15
You know, today's a
great day for a bike ride.
00:10:20.18\00:10:22.58
So I have my bike on the rack,
00:10:22.62\00:10:24.42
and we're going to
ride the last little way in
00:10:24.45\00:10:26.32
to the telescopes.
00:10:26.35\00:10:27.69
Scientists build telescopes
00:10:33.16\00:10:35.20
so that they can look
and listen into deep space
00:10:35.23\00:10:38.00
and learn about the universe.
00:10:38.03\00:10:40.54
Evolution teaches
that in the beginning,
00:10:40.57\00:10:42.57
there was nothing,
00:10:42.60\00:10:43.94
no energy, no space, no
matter, not even time existed.
00:10:43.97\00:10:48.51
It sounds a lot like
00:10:48.54\00:10:49.88
what the Bible describes
the beginning was like.
00:10:49.91\00:10:51.71
The big difference
00:10:55.25\00:10:56.58
is that the Bible teaches
that God was in the beginning.
00:10:56.62\00:10:59.55
So back to evolution.
00:11:09.46\00:11:11.90
They say in the beginning
00:11:11.93\00:11:13.30
that time and
space didn't even exist.
00:11:13.34\00:11:17.34
The idea is that somehow,
about 14 billion years ago,
00:11:17.37\00:11:21.38
a microscopic object
appears out of nowhere
00:11:21.41\00:11:24.35
and starts growing.
00:11:24.38\00:11:26.65
Time, space, and
matter is somehow formed.
00:11:26.68\00:11:30.59
They call this
the Big Bang Theory.
00:11:30.62\00:11:34.29
Evolutionists think it's crazy
00:11:34.32\00:11:36.26
that an all powerful
God created the universe.
00:11:36.29\00:11:39.13
But ask yourself,
which is harder to believe
00:11:39.16\00:11:42.10
that a God created the universe
00:11:42.13\00:11:44.47
or that a speck of
dust suddenly exploded
00:11:44.50\00:11:47.27
and created the
entire universe by itself.
00:11:47.30\00:11:51.47
If you ask me,
00:11:51.51\00:11:52.84
a whole universe
appearing by itself,
00:11:52.87\00:11:55.91
that doesn't
sound very scientific.
00:11:55.94\00:11:58.41
That's because
complex things need a creator.
00:11:58.45\00:12:00.62
This is a radio telescope array.
00:12:04.32\00:12:07.06
Each one of these dishes
here are pointing into space
00:12:07.09\00:12:09.82
and collecting information.
00:12:09.86\00:12:11.86
They can detect stuff
that we can't see with our eyes
00:12:11.89\00:12:14.30
or even with an
optical telescope.
00:12:14.33\00:12:16.40
We need to get a little closer.
00:12:16.43\00:12:17.77
Come on.
00:12:17.80\00:12:19.80
Scientists calculate that
00:12:19.83\00:12:21.20
there are about 1 septillion
stars in the universe.
00:12:21.24\00:12:25.21
That's a 1 with
24 zeros behind it.
00:12:25.24\00:12:28.98
We're supposed to believe
00:12:29.01\00:12:30.35
that they all came
from a single speck of dust,
00:12:30.38\00:12:34.12
then why is
there so much diversity
00:12:34.15\00:12:35.95
in the objects we see in space
00:12:35.98\00:12:37.95
if it all came
from a single speck?
00:12:37.99\00:12:39.85
Why do we see
stars, and planets,
00:12:39.89\00:12:41.86
and comets, and
asteroids and so on
00:12:41.89\00:12:44.63
all made from
different substances
00:12:44.66\00:12:46.16
and materials?
00:12:46.19\00:12:47.53
Where did all that
diversity come from?
00:12:47.56\00:12:52.03
Wow, what a great view.
00:12:52.07\00:12:54.67
These dishes remind
me how big space is.
00:12:54.70\00:12:59.04
I think, I'm going to
sketch this place in my journal.
00:12:59.07\00:13:01.78
You know, if we do
the math backwards,
00:13:12.75\00:13:15.42
we should
actually see 32,000 stars
00:13:15.46\00:13:18.89
forming every second for
the last 20 billion years.
00:13:18.93\00:13:23.10
So what do we see in reality.
00:13:28.80\00:13:30.91
In the last
couple thousand years
00:13:30.94\00:13:32.37
that man has been
studying the stars,
00:13:32.41\00:13:34.31
we have never seen a
single new star formed,
00:13:34.34\00:13:38.31
not one.
00:13:38.35\00:13:40.82
Some would say,
00:13:40.85\00:13:42.18
"Maybe they all
appeared at once."
00:13:42.22\00:13:44.19
I'd say that
sounds like God creating.
00:13:44.22\00:13:50.13
You know, when I was a kid,
I always wanted to go to space.
00:13:50.16\00:13:53.60
I wish we can go there now.
00:13:53.63\00:13:54.96
But, of course,
it's kind of difficult.
00:13:55.00\00:13:58.47
Hey, you know what?
00:13:58.50\00:13:59.83
I got a great idea?
00:13:59.87\00:14:01.20
It requires
some special effects,
00:14:01.24\00:14:02.67
but I think it will be great.
00:14:02.70\00:14:04.04
Come on.
00:14:04.07\00:14:07.44
Hi, cadets.
00:14:07.48\00:14:08.81
I mean, hello, everyone,
Doc M here at headquarters.
00:14:08.84\00:14:12.68
Since we all have
space on our brain today,
00:14:12.71\00:14:15.45
not literally, it's time
for a lesson in space time.
00:14:15.48\00:14:19.25
You ask what is space time?
00:14:19.29\00:14:22.29
Yes, that sounds
like a little strange.
00:14:22.32\00:14:24.39
Let me explain.
00:14:24.43\00:14:26.29
As you probably know,
00:14:26.33\00:14:27.96
the objects in our
solar system move in circles.
00:14:28.00\00:14:31.90
Each one of those
circles is a measure of time.
00:14:31.93\00:14:36.24
Here's our planet earth.
00:14:36.27\00:14:38.04
It's constantly
spinning like this.
00:14:38.07\00:14:41.48
Not that... Well,
that fast and faster.
00:14:41.51\00:14:45.41
It spins about a
1,000 miles per hour.
00:14:45.45\00:14:48.92
Whoa! That's fast.
00:14:48.95\00:14:51.79
Anyway, each time our
planet spins one time around
00:14:51.82\00:14:55.39
is equals one day.
00:14:55.42\00:14:57.29
What about a month?
00:14:57.33\00:14:59.09
Where does that come from?
00:14:59.13\00:15:00.70
Ah, we need a moon.
00:15:00.73\00:15:02.50
Here's our moon, a
month comes from the moon
00:15:02.53\00:15:06.00
while the earth is spinning,
00:15:06.03\00:15:07.97
the moon is orbiting the earth.
00:15:08.00\00:15:10.64
It's slowly going
in circles like this.
00:15:10.67\00:15:15.01
When the moon has gone
around the earth one full time,
00:15:15.04\00:15:18.78
that makes a month.
00:15:18.81\00:15:20.78
What about a year?
00:15:20.82\00:15:22.35
Good question.
00:15:22.38\00:15:23.79
Where does that come from?
00:15:23.82\00:15:25.72
While the earth spins...
00:15:25.75\00:15:29.36
It's also going around the sun.
00:15:29.39\00:15:33.63
We need a sun.
00:15:33.66\00:15:36.70
And the sun is in the center.
00:15:36.73\00:15:39.80
Ah!
00:15:39.83\00:15:43.04
So the earth is spinning
while it's orbiting the sun.
00:15:43.07\00:15:49.21
And each time the
earth does one full orbit
00:15:49.24\00:15:52.25
or circle around the sun,
00:15:52.28\00:15:54.38
it equals one full year.
00:15:54.42\00:15:56.65
Ah! It kind of looks like this.
00:15:56.69\00:15:58.02
Great.
00:16:05.19\00:16:06.93
You're doing wonderful.
00:16:06.96\00:16:08.70
But what about a week?
00:16:08.73\00:16:10.83
Where does that come from?
00:16:10.87\00:16:12.23
Did you know that the week
has nothing to do with space,
00:16:15.40\00:16:19.71
not the sun, or
the moon, or the earth,
00:16:19.74\00:16:22.51
nothing, zippo, null.
00:16:22.54\00:16:24.81
So where did this
seven-day period come from?
00:16:24.85\00:16:28.88
For as long as
recorded history exists,
00:16:28.92\00:16:31.12
people have been
keeping a seven-day week.
00:16:31.15\00:16:34.29
Seems like kind of
a mystery, doesn't it?
00:16:34.32\00:16:37.89
Actually, it's
no mystery at all.
00:16:37.93\00:16:39.89
The seven-day week
comes right from the Bible,
00:16:39.93\00:16:42.86
creation week.
00:16:42.90\00:16:44.30
Pretty neat, uh?
00:16:44.33\00:16:45.67
Well, many people
around the world claim
00:16:45.70\00:16:47.17
they don't believe in God
00:16:47.20\00:16:49.04
or they believe
that the world evolved,
00:16:49.07\00:16:51.14
they are living their
lives in the special time frame
00:16:51.17\00:16:53.44
that God set aside
for us when He created us.
00:16:53.48\00:16:56.18
God created us for six days,
00:16:56.21\00:16:58.55
then rested on the seventh.
00:16:58.58\00:17:00.52
Then He told us
to live our lives
00:17:00.55\00:17:01.88
by this simple
seven-day formula.
00:17:01.92\00:17:04.42
Thousands of years later,
00:17:04.45\00:17:06.32
the planet lives on
in that seven-day week.
00:17:06.35\00:17:11.63
The seven-day week has
nothing to do with space.
00:17:11.66\00:17:14.93
It's simply more evidence.
00:17:14.96\00:17:18.53
It makes me know
God is my Creator.
00:17:18.57\00:17:22.14
Hey, everyone,
it's me, Rich Aguilera.
00:17:25.84\00:17:28.01
I'd love to see you at
one of our live events.
00:17:28.04\00:17:30.71
To see where I'll be
speaking, visit our website,
00:17:30.75\00:17:33.92
TheCreationCase.com.
00:17:33.95\00:17:36.85
Well, I finally got to
float like I was in outer space.
00:18:32.14\00:18:35.41
Well, sort of.
00:18:35.44\00:18:36.85
You know, sometimes
we forget that it's God
00:18:36.88\00:18:38.68
that created the laws of physics
00:18:38.71\00:18:40.18
like gravity.
00:18:40.22\00:18:41.62
The moon is smaller than earth
00:18:41.65\00:18:43.75
so there's less
gravity on the moon.
00:18:43.79\00:18:46.25
If here you weigh 100 pounds,
00:18:46.29\00:18:48.09
on the moon, you
would only weigh 16 pounds.
00:18:48.12\00:18:52.69
In deep space, you
would weigh nothing,
00:18:52.73\00:18:55.26
you would just float.
00:18:55.30\00:18:56.83
You know,
speaking about gravity,
00:19:05.67\00:19:07.18
we can learn a lot about
space by studying the stuff
00:19:07.21\00:19:09.84
that falls from the sky
and lands on our planet.
00:19:09.88\00:19:13.15
Most of the stuff
that falls from space
00:19:13.18\00:19:15.68
burns up in our atmosphere.
00:19:15.72\00:19:17.29
But once in a while
meteorites make it through
00:19:17.32\00:19:19.79
and land here on earth.
00:19:19.82\00:19:21.16
Not far from here in
Arizona there's a place
00:19:25.89\00:19:28.50
where a meteor did make
it through the atmosphere
00:19:28.53\00:19:30.60
and crashed into the ground
and left a pretty huge crater.
00:19:30.63\00:19:33.57
We should go check it out.
00:19:33.60\00:19:34.94
The crater here in
this very windy place
00:19:39.77\00:19:41.94
is one of the most
famous in the world.
00:19:41.98\00:19:43.95
At some point a
meteorite came and crashed here
00:19:43.98\00:19:47.42
going approximately
26,000 miles per hour.
00:19:47.45\00:19:51.52
When a meteor
crashes into the planet,
00:19:51.55\00:19:53.49
it forms a crater.
00:19:53.52\00:19:55.06
Check out the
size of this crater.
00:19:55.09\00:19:57.99
There are other much
larger craters in the world,
00:19:58.03\00:20:01.26
but this is
probably the most famous one
00:20:01.30\00:20:03.50
in the United States.
00:20:03.53\00:20:06.50
The meteor crater
here is over 500 feet deep
00:20:06.53\00:20:09.94
and almost a mile across.
00:20:09.97\00:20:12.14
No one knows exactly
00:20:15.51\00:20:16.85
when this meteoroid
crashed into the earth.
00:20:16.88\00:20:18.91
But since it only
disturbed the upper layers,
00:20:18.95\00:20:21.08
we assumed it was
sometime after the flood.
00:20:21.12\00:20:25.52
Check out how this meteor
crater looks from the sky.
00:20:25.55\00:20:28.19
Objects flying through space
00:20:40.50\00:20:41.90
passed by our
planet all the time.
00:20:41.94\00:20:44.04
They can also provide us
clues about the universe.
00:20:44.07\00:20:48.34
For example,
there are meteoroids,
00:20:48.38\00:20:50.28
there's asteroids,
and there's also comets.
00:20:50.31\00:20:53.31
A meteoroid also
known as a falling star
00:20:53.35\00:20:56.12
is a small sand-sized particle
up to a boulder-sized particle
00:20:56.15\00:21:00.16
that flies through
space and orbits our sun.
00:21:00.19\00:21:03.73
An asteroid is much larger.
00:21:03.76\00:21:05.96
It's a rock or metal object
that's also orbiting our sun.
00:21:05.99\00:21:09.93
On the other hand, a
comet is a little different.
00:21:09.96\00:21:12.63
It's made up of ice,
dust, and rock particles,
00:21:12.67\00:21:15.70
and they can be
huge, even miles across.
00:21:15.74\00:21:19.17
When a comet passes
to close to the sun,
00:21:19.21\00:21:21.68
the ice begins to
vaporize, and can leave a trail
00:21:21.71\00:21:24.88
thousands of miles long
00:21:24.91\00:21:26.28
that can be seen
even here from earth.
00:21:26.31\00:21:30.02
Hey, I also have a picture
of a comet here on my phone.
00:21:30.05\00:21:33.09
Check it out.
00:21:33.12\00:21:36.66
Unlike meteoroids,
00:21:36.69\00:21:38.03
which are a quick
flash of light in the sky
00:21:38.06\00:21:39.93
as they burn up
in the atmosphere,
00:21:39.96\00:21:41.76
comets seem to hang in
the sky for weeks at a time
00:21:41.80\00:21:45.20
as they pass by our planet.
00:21:45.23\00:21:47.84
In reality, they're moving
over 100,000 miles per hour.
00:21:47.87\00:21:53.58
No one knows exactly
for sure how comets form,
00:21:53.61\00:21:56.78
but we do know that every
time they pass by the sun,
00:21:56.81\00:21:59.88
they are losing more and
more ice, dust, and debris.
00:21:59.91\00:22:04.19
So here's the problem.
00:22:04.22\00:22:05.55
A lot of comets orbit
the sun every few years.
00:22:05.59\00:22:08.19
But there's a few out
there that have shorter orbits
00:22:08.22\00:22:10.33
and some have longer orbits.
00:22:10.36\00:22:14.00
Since they lose material
every time they pass the sun,
00:22:14.03\00:22:16.90
they're getting smaller.
00:22:16.93\00:22:19.13
It also means that
some of these comets
00:22:19.17\00:22:21.10
would only last a
couple hundred years
00:22:21.14\00:22:22.74
or maybe a
couple thousand years.
00:22:22.77\00:22:24.54
The problem is
that scientists teach
00:22:24.57\00:22:27.14
that comets were formed
from the material left over
00:22:27.18\00:22:30.08
from the formation of
planets billions of years ago.
00:22:30.11\00:22:33.75
Comets simply don't
have a long enough lifespan
00:22:33.78\00:22:36.79
to have been
created a billion years ago.
00:22:36.82\00:22:39.79
Yes, some comets
may be pretty old,
00:22:39.82\00:22:42.66
but they will lose material
when they pass by a star.
00:22:42.69\00:22:46.93
I'm going to write
that down in my journal.
00:22:46.96\00:22:48.36
It is unlikely
00:22:55.14\00:22:56.47
that comets that
occasionally orbit near stars
00:22:56.50\00:22:59.47
could be billions of years old.
00:22:59.51\00:23:01.58
Actually, this is a cool spot.
00:23:05.25\00:23:07.12
I think I'm going
to sketch this too.
00:23:07.15\00:23:08.62
Remember what the
Bible says in Genesis,
00:23:24.73\00:23:27.20
"In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth."
00:23:27.24\00:23:31.77
Wow, it's
really amazing to think
00:23:38.11\00:23:40.92
just how big space is.
00:23:40.95\00:23:43.95
It's great that
many smart scientists
00:23:43.99\00:23:45.85
are trying to
peek into deep space
00:23:45.89\00:23:48.16
to figure out what's out there.
00:23:48.19\00:23:50.39
All I know is that
there is so much more
00:23:50.43\00:23:52.86
that we don't know
compared to what we do know.
00:23:52.89\00:23:56.70
Well, I need to finish up
my report and send it to HQ.
00:23:56.73\00:24:00.87
Remember, if
you want to read it,
00:24:00.90\00:24:02.64
just go to our website.
00:24:02.67\00:24:05.84
A close look at the universe
00:24:05.87\00:24:07.31
creates a lot of
problems for atheists.
00:24:07.34\00:24:12.48
Secular scientists aren't
even sure how the moon formed.
00:24:12.51\00:24:16.99
Believing that the
universe created itself
00:24:17.02\00:24:19.49
is not a very scientific idea.
00:24:19.52\00:24:23.22
Comets do not have
long enough life spans
00:24:23.26\00:24:25.79
to have been created
billions of years ago.
00:24:25.83\00:24:30.60
You know, God is like the sun.
00:24:30.63\00:24:33.13
He is the light of this world.
00:24:33.17\00:24:35.50
All good comes from Him
just like we need the sun
00:24:35.54\00:24:39.11
for life to
exist on this planet.
00:24:39.14\00:24:41.78
The neat thing is that at
night we can't see the sun.
00:24:41.81\00:24:45.35
But sometimes, we see the moon
00:24:45.38\00:24:47.38
reflecting the
light from the sun.
00:24:47.42\00:24:50.12
Did you know
that God has called us
00:24:50.15\00:24:52.09
to be like the moon?
00:24:52.12\00:24:54.02
He wants us to reflect
00:24:54.06\00:24:55.42
His light of
goodness to everyone.
00:24:55.46\00:24:58.29
We sometimes forget
00:24:58.33\00:24:59.86
that we can't
make our own light,
00:24:59.89\00:25:02.13
we can only reflect God's.
00:25:02.16\00:25:04.97
I hope that everywhere you
go, people will always see God
00:25:05.00\00:25:09.10
reflected in the things
that you do in your life.
00:25:09.14\00:25:13.58
I hope you'll join me
again for our next assignment.
00:25:13.61\00:25:16.54
Remember, God the
Creator loves what He creates,
00:25:16.58\00:25:19.91
especially you.
00:25:19.95\00:25:21.28
Good night.
00:25:21.32\00:25:22.65
Wait don't leave.
00:25:32.23\00:25:33.56
We have bloopers!
00:25:33.60\00:25:35.23
Like these crazy winds.
00:25:35.26\00:25:37.37
Stop!
00:25:37.40\00:25:39.03
Wow!
00:25:39.07\00:25:40.44
Object that is
also orbiting our sun.
00:25:40.47\00:25:42.97
Orbiting our sun.
00:25:43.00\00:25:45.41
Okay, I kind of fell over.
00:25:45.44\00:25:47.38
Something about...
00:25:47.41\00:25:51.15
Forgot what he said.
00:25:51.18\00:25:53.21
As they orbit our planet.
00:25:53.25\00:25:54.75
Oh, are you done?
00:26:01.99\00:26:04.33
Since we're all
have space and that is...
00:26:04.36\00:26:07.36
By our planet.
00:26:07.40\00:26:09.70
I feel like that we're going.
00:26:09.73\00:26:11.07
