Where did we come from?
00:00:10.97\00:00:14.14
The Bible says, "In
the beginning God created."
00:00:14.18\00:00:17.45
Evolution teaches the opposite.
00:00:20.72\00:00:22.72
No one created, it
all happened by itself.
00:00:22.75\00:00:26.19
Which one is the truth?
00:00:26.22\00:00:30.29
This is Headquarters,
00:00:30.33\00:00:34.20
Doc M,
00:00:34.23\00:00:38.67
Jacqui,
00:00:38.70\00:00:41.07
and Rich,
00:00:41.10\00:00:44.87
their job,
00:00:44.91\00:00:46.24
investigate and
discover the truth.
00:00:46.27\00:00:48.44
This is The Creation Case.
00:00:52.38\00:00:54.75
Hi, Jacqui. Hi, Doc M.
00:01:16.24\00:01:18.24
How was your weekend?
00:01:18.27\00:01:19.87
It was fantastic.
00:01:19.91\00:01:21.91
I went to the State fair.
00:01:21.94\00:01:23.55
Really? That's so cool.
00:01:23.58\00:01:25.11
It was very cool.
00:01:25.15\00:01:26.48
I went to one of those
booths where, you know,
00:01:26.51\00:01:29.32
they dress you up like a
cowboy and take your picture.
00:01:29.35\00:01:31.59
Yeah, yeah. I
went into one of those.
00:01:31.62\00:01:33.69
Oh, so great. Yeah!
00:01:33.72\00:01:35.76
Well, they had
this really cool booth
00:01:35.79\00:01:39.16
and you know how
much I love mountains.
00:01:39.19\00:01:41.70
Of course.
00:01:41.73\00:01:43.06
Check this
picture out, went to one.
00:01:43.10\00:01:45.63
And I got a picture taken.
00:01:45.67\00:01:48.80
It is the best. Oh, wow!
00:01:48.84\00:01:55.08
You're on Mount Rushmore?
00:01:55.11\00:01:57.78
Isn't that great?
00:01:57.81\00:01:59.75
Definitely amazing.
00:01:59.78\00:02:02.28
Well, it got me thinking
00:02:02.32\00:02:03.69
that this would be our
next assignment for Rich.
00:02:03.72\00:02:07.62
Mountains. Mountains.
00:02:07.66\00:02:09.66
Cool.
00:02:09.69\00:02:11.03
I was also
thinking about mountains
00:02:11.06\00:02:12.39
because last
week I got an email.
00:02:12.43\00:02:17.60
Here it's.
00:02:17.63\00:02:19.77
It says, "Dear Doc M,
00:02:19.80\00:02:21.47
last week my
family went on vacation
00:02:21.50\00:02:23.44
and we did some
hiking in the Appalachian..."
00:02:23.47\00:02:27.88
Appalachian.
00:02:27.91\00:02:29.24
"Appalachian," I get it, right,
00:02:29.28\00:02:30.61
"the mountains
in North Carolina.
00:02:30.65\00:02:32.71
During our time there we
heard a tour guide saying
00:02:32.75\00:02:35.12
that the Appalachian mountains
00:02:35.15\00:02:39.22
used to be the
highest mountains on earth
00:02:39.25\00:02:41.69
460 million years ago.
00:02:41.72\00:02:44.83
My dad and I looked
at each other and said,
00:02:44.86\00:02:48.60
'I need to write
Dr. M about this.'
00:02:48.63\00:02:51.70
Do mountains say anything
about the age of our earth?
00:02:51.73\00:02:55.04
Thank you.
00:02:55.07\00:02:56.40
Adiana from San
Antonio, Texas.'"
00:02:56.44\00:02:59.21
Wow! Great letter.
00:02:59.24\00:03:01.24
No, kidding!
00:03:01.28\00:03:02.74
So I'm thinking this,
these needs to be send to Rich.
00:03:02.78\00:03:05.25
All right. I'll do that.
00:03:05.28\00:03:07.12
Where is Rich anyway? Okay.
00:03:07.15\00:03:09.62
So I get this
message this morning saying,
00:03:09.65\00:03:13.46
"I'm in the desert."
00:03:13.49\00:03:15.16
And then a few minutes
ago I get a new one saying,
00:03:15.19\00:03:18.49
"Snowboarding."
00:03:18.53\00:03:21.60
Snowboarding and the desert?
00:03:21.63\00:03:25.63
Yeah.
00:03:25.67\00:03:27.44
I know, it
doesn't make any sense.
00:03:27.47\00:03:28.80
But... I don't get it.
00:03:28.84\00:03:30.64
It's Rich.
00:03:30.67\00:03:32.01
Yeah, you don't get it. Yeah.
00:03:32.04\00:03:33.38
Listen, just make
sure he gets that message.
00:03:33.41\00:03:35.14
All right. Got it. Mountains.
00:03:35.18\00:03:37.21
I need to find a place
00:03:37.25\00:03:43.22
for my new picture.
00:03:43.25\00:03:45.29
Perfect!
00:03:49.79\00:03:51.46
Do you have a creation
question for Headquarters?
00:03:51.49\00:03:54.40
Send your questions
to Doc, Jacqui, and Rich
00:03:54.43\00:03:57.33
by visiting our
website at TheCreationCase.com.
00:03:57.37\00:04:01.24
Hey, I think we got a
message from Headquarters.
00:04:34.47\00:04:36.60
We must have gotten
our next assignment.
00:04:36.64\00:04:38.37
Hi, Rich. I have
your next assignment.
00:04:41.51\00:04:43.95
You know, we are
pretty confused over here
00:04:43.98\00:04:46.08
by your messages this morning.
00:04:46.11\00:04:48.22
Are you snowboarding?
Are you in a desert?
00:04:48.25\00:04:51.59
Both.
00:04:51.62\00:04:52.99
Anyway, your next
assignment is about mountains.
00:04:53.02\00:04:56.69
How were they
formed and also when?
00:04:56.73\00:04:59.69
See if you can find any clues
00:04:59.73\00:05:01.30
that might be able to
answer those questions.
00:05:01.33\00:05:03.63
We look forward to your report.
00:05:03.67\00:05:05.73
Wow! Mountains. Cool.
00:05:05.77\00:05:08.37
First things first, let
me send a message to HQ,
00:05:08.40\00:05:11.17
to let them know I
got the assignment.
00:05:11.21\00:05:14.54
Mountains.
00:05:14.58\00:05:16.48
Got it.
00:05:16.51\00:05:18.78
Just finished
boarding in the desert.
00:05:18.81\00:05:24.95
Going now.
00:05:24.99\00:05:27.06
That should
confuse them for a while.
00:05:27.09\00:05:29.12
Let's get this
down in our journal now.
00:05:29.16\00:05:30.53
Mountains.
00:05:36.36\00:05:39.60
All right. We're ready to go.
00:05:39.63\00:05:44.11
Well, right now I'm
here at the Great Sand Dunes
00:05:44.14\00:05:46.94
in Southern Colorado.
00:05:46.98\00:05:48.38
That means, I'm not too
far from some mountains.
00:05:48.41\00:05:50.55
Let's go check
them out. Come on.
00:05:50.58\00:05:53.11
Let's get back to the jeep
00:05:53.15\00:05:54.48
and drive out to one of
these nice big mountains.
00:05:54.52\00:05:56.89
Come on.
00:05:56.92\00:06:00.66
Help us investigate today.

00:06:07.30\00:06:09.86
Welcome to the Rocky Mountains.
00:06:20.08\00:06:22.34
This is the
longest range of mountains
00:06:22.38\00:06:24.78
in North America,
00:06:24.81\00:06:26.15
extending all the way
from Canada to New Mexico.
00:06:26.18\00:06:30.15
That's 3,000 miles of mountains.
00:06:30.19\00:06:33.15
Since we are
investigating mountains today,
00:06:33.19\00:06:35.86
we are gonna visit a fourteener.
00:06:35.89\00:06:38.63
Fourteeners are a
group of mountains
00:06:38.66\00:06:40.40
in the United States that
are over 14,000 feet tall.
00:06:40.43\00:06:45.40
What better way to
learn about mountains
00:06:45.43\00:06:47.47
than to climb to the top.
00:06:47.50\00:06:48.97
So that's what we're gonna do.
00:06:49.00\00:06:50.34
We're gonna climb to the summit.
00:06:50.37\00:06:53.54
I think we're gonna learn a
lot about mountains on the way.
00:06:53.58\00:06:55.91
Come on.
00:06:55.94\00:06:57.28
Climbing to the
top of any fourteener
00:07:04.32\00:07:06.72
is a long journey.
00:07:06.76\00:07:08.09
That's why it's important
to let our bodies acclimate
00:07:08.12\00:07:10.63
to the high altitude.
00:07:10.66\00:07:12.09
That means, we get
used to the low oxygen
00:07:12.13\00:07:14.23
and air pressure.
00:07:14.26\00:07:15.96
One of the best
ways to acclimate
00:07:16.00\00:07:17.47
to the high altitude
00:07:17.50\00:07:18.83
is by spending a
little time in this altitude
00:07:18.87\00:07:20.60
before going any higher.
00:07:20.64\00:07:22.00
We are gonna hike to
the top of that mountain,
00:07:26.57\00:07:28.71
first thing tomorrow morning.
00:07:28.74\00:07:30.08
But the plan for now
00:07:30.11\00:07:31.45
is to acclimate to
this high elevation.
00:07:31.48\00:07:35.42
While we're waiting,
00:07:35.45\00:07:36.79
let's go for a ride
and check out the area.
00:07:36.82\00:07:40.02
So one of the first
questions we have to ask is,
00:07:40.06\00:07:43.39
how did the mountains
get here in the first place?
00:07:43.43\00:07:46.66
The answer that all
scientists seem to agree on
00:07:46.70\00:07:49.40
is called uplift.
00:07:49.43\00:07:51.90
The evidence shows
that at some point,
00:07:51.93\00:07:53.97
things were flat
00:07:54.00\00:07:55.34
and that all the mountains
in the world were uplifted,
00:07:55.37\00:07:58.07
pushed up from
where they were before.
00:07:58.11\00:08:02.41
The top layer of our planet
00:08:02.44\00:08:03.85
is made up of a
bunch of tectonic plates,
00:08:03.88\00:08:06.11
which are
constantly moving around.
00:08:06.15\00:08:08.88
Here's a picture of
the different plates
00:08:08.92\00:08:10.65
that scientists have
been able to identify.
00:08:10.69\00:08:13.79
When these plates
rub against each other,
00:08:13.82\00:08:16.29
we get earthquakes.
00:08:16.32\00:08:19.63
Sometimes when
the plates collide,
00:08:19.66\00:08:22.03
one gets pushed
down under the other,
00:08:22.06\00:08:24.07
causing the one on
top to be uplifted.
00:08:24.10\00:08:26.70
I should write that down.
00:08:26.74\00:08:28.07
Mountains are formed
00:08:35.48\00:08:36.95
when shifting
tectonic plates are uplifted.
00:08:36.98\00:08:42.82
The big question is,
when did they get uplifted?
00:08:42.85\00:08:45.99
This is one of the questions
we wanna try to answer.
00:08:49.09\00:08:51.89
Secular scientists teach
that the Rockies started forming
00:08:55.20\00:08:59.17
80 million years ago.
00:08:59.20\00:09:01.64
The Bible teaches
that God created the earth
00:09:01.67\00:09:04.21
a few thousand years ago.
00:09:04.24\00:09:06.14
Obviously both can't be correct.
00:09:06.17\00:09:08.34
But we're gonna get
to the bottom of this.
00:09:08.38\00:09:10.35
In the mean time,
00:09:14.68\00:09:16.02
it sure is fun soaking
in God's awesome nature,
00:09:16.05\00:09:19.55
while we acclimate.
00:09:19.59\00:09:20.92
You know, one of the
other important things
00:09:34.10\00:09:35.80
we need to do to acclimate
to these high elevations
00:09:35.84\00:09:38.31
is get extra sleep.
00:09:38.34\00:09:39.77
So I think I'm gonna
head back to the jeep now
00:09:39.81\00:09:41.84
and make camp and
get ready for tomorrow.
00:09:41.88\00:09:43.68
Hi, everyone. Doc M here at HQ.
00:10:00.26\00:10:03.03
Even when Rich
is lucky to be out
00:10:03.06\00:10:04.60
investigating mountains,
00:10:04.63\00:10:06.67
we're still here
investigating other things.
00:10:06.70\00:10:10.74
Today, we're
investigating some claims
00:10:10.77\00:10:12.11
that evolution makes.
00:10:12.14\00:10:15.14
One of the biggest differences
00:10:15.18\00:10:16.51
is that
evolution teaches humans,
00:10:16.54\00:10:17.88
have been around for a
couple hundred thousand years.
00:10:17.91\00:10:20.02
So today,
00:10:20.05\00:10:21.38
I'm studying some
evidence from architecture
00:10:21.42\00:10:23.42
and archaeology,
00:10:23.45\00:10:24.79
to see if they
provide some clues.
00:10:24.82\00:10:26.69
Hey, you want to join
me? Of course, you do.
00:10:26.72\00:10:28.96
Here we go. Here's what I did.
00:10:28.99\00:10:30.79
Since humans love to build,
00:10:30.83\00:10:32.73
I searched for some
of the oldest stuff.
00:10:32.76\00:10:36.26
Older than your
mom, older than your dad,
00:10:36.30\00:10:38.70
really old.
00:10:38.73\00:10:40.24
We found some in the world.
00:10:40.27\00:10:41.60
Here, let's look.
00:10:41.64\00:10:42.97
The Pantheon, 2000 years old.
00:10:47.44\00:10:50.55
Wow! That's old.
00:10:50.58\00:10:52.68
It's the oldest buildings
still being used today.
00:10:52.71\00:10:56.38
There's another one.
00:10:56.42\00:10:57.99
This is the Great Wall of China,
00:10:58.02\00:11:00.06
5,500 miles of wall.
00:11:00.09\00:11:03.12
It just keeps going.
00:11:03.16\00:11:04.83
And it was started
about 2,500 years ago.
00:11:04.86\00:11:09.06
Another one.
00:11:09.10\00:11:11.43
Megalithic temples
on the island of Malta,
00:11:11.47\00:11:14.47
about 4,500 years ago.
00:11:14.50\00:11:17.77
Wow!
00:11:17.81\00:11:19.14
Keeps getting older. Huh?
00:11:19.17\00:11:20.51
Here's another one.
00:11:20.54\00:11:21.88
Stonehenge,
about 4,500 years ago.
00:11:21.91\00:11:25.31
Wow!
00:11:25.35\00:11:26.68
Here, this is the
pyramid of Djoser,
00:11:26.72\00:11:30.45
supposedly one
of the oldest ones.
00:11:30.49\00:11:33.05
Do you see a pattern
like I see a pattern?
00:11:33.09\00:11:35.92
Evolution teaches
that humans evolved slowly
00:11:35.96\00:11:37.79
for hundreds of
thousands of years.
00:11:37.83\00:11:39.86
So then why don't we really
see anything built before that?
00:11:39.89\00:11:44.23
Not only that,
00:11:44.27\00:11:45.60
if you notice that the
things humans were building,
00:11:45.63\00:11:48.80
it's not small job.
00:11:48.84\00:11:50.64
Even today, archaeologists
are still trying to figure out
00:11:50.67\00:11:52.67
how they built the pyramids.
00:11:52.71\00:11:55.74
These people
were awesome builders.
00:11:55.78\00:11:58.31
Do they just wake
up one day and say,
00:11:58.35\00:12:01.08
"Let's build
incredibly complex buildings?"
00:12:01.12\00:12:05.15
Nah.
00:12:05.19\00:12:06.55
It's like an
amazing intelligent people
00:12:06.59\00:12:08.96
suddenly appeared on our planet,
00:12:08.99\00:12:11.29
started to build.
00:12:11.33\00:12:13.13
You know what?
00:12:13.16\00:12:14.50
The Bible tells us
that a global flood
00:12:14.53\00:12:15.86
destroyed
everything on our planet.
00:12:15.90\00:12:17.77
According to the
Bible, it makes sense
00:12:17.80\00:12:19.23
that we didn't see
anything before that.
00:12:19.27\00:12:23.20
So again,
00:12:23.24\00:12:24.57
I am utterly and
completely convinced
00:12:24.61\00:12:27.61
that God is my Creator.
00:12:27.64\00:12:30.25
This is it.
00:12:42.32\00:12:43.76
That's our mountain up there.
00:12:43.79\00:12:45.13
It's over
14,000 feet at the top.
00:12:45.16\00:12:49.50
Wow! What an amazing view!
00:12:49.53\00:12:51.67
I think I'm gonna
sketch this in my journal.
00:12:51.70\00:12:53.64
God can sure create
some amazing places.
00:13:02.04\00:13:07.08
Sketching really helps
me remember and appreciate
00:13:07.12\00:13:10.29
this very special view.
00:13:10.32\00:13:12.12
Well, we're here
at the trailhead.
00:13:18.59\00:13:20.43
We have acclimatized.
00:13:20.46\00:13:21.80
I got my gear, my backpack,
I got some water, some snacks.
00:13:21.83\00:13:25.03
I think we're ready to go.
00:13:25.07\00:13:26.40
Let's go.
00:13:26.43\00:13:27.77
Our hike starts well
within the tree line.
00:13:31.04\00:13:34.34
The tree line is
the edge of the habitat
00:13:34.38\00:13:37.31
at which trees are
capable of growing.
00:13:37.35\00:13:40.02
As we climb higher,
00:13:40.05\00:13:41.72
we'll eventually have to
leave the tree line behind.
00:13:41.75\00:13:46.02
At very high
elevations, the environment
00:13:46.05\00:13:48.86
just doesn't allow too
much vegetation to grow.
00:13:48.89\00:13:53.86
For now though,
00:13:53.90\00:13:55.23
we can enjoy these cool
streams and lots of shade.
00:13:55.26\00:13:58.33
As I mentioned yesterday,
00:14:09.14\00:14:10.88
everyone seems to agree
00:14:10.91\00:14:12.25
that the mountains
were caused by uplift.
00:14:12.28\00:14:14.55
The big question is when?
00:14:14.58\00:14:17.72
Evolution has
no written history.
00:14:17.75\00:14:20.02
It's just a recent idea
00:14:20.06\00:14:21.66
that tries to explain
how everything started.
00:14:21.69\00:14:24.56
Creation, on the other
hand, does have written history
00:14:24.59\00:14:27.40
that is thousands of years old.
00:14:27.43\00:14:29.50
The Bible.
00:14:29.53\00:14:30.87
The formation of
mountains seems to date back
00:14:35.70\00:14:38.44
to the time of the flood.
00:14:38.47\00:14:40.14
The Bible says in
Genesis that before the flood,
00:14:40.18\00:14:42.54
there was only some high hills.
00:14:42.58\00:14:45.91
Later, during
and after the flood,
00:14:45.95\00:14:48.78
the Bible says
00:14:48.82\00:14:50.15
some amazing things
happened to our planet
00:14:50.19\00:14:52.32
that caused those
mountains to uplift.
00:14:52.35\00:14:56.42
In Genesis 7:11,
00:14:56.46\00:14:57.86
the Bible says that the
springs of the great deep
00:14:57.89\00:15:00.80
burst forth,
00:15:00.83\00:15:02.60
that means there must
have been a lot of water,
00:15:02.63\00:15:04.63
massive amounts of
water beneath the surface.
00:15:04.67\00:15:07.74
This was not some
quiet little event.
00:15:07.77\00:15:11.74
Clearly, we can see that
God's power has no limits.
00:15:11.77\00:15:17.11
During the flood,
00:15:17.15\00:15:18.48
God was commanding
entire mountains to move,
00:15:18.51\00:15:21.78
as all life on the
planet was being destroyed.
00:15:21.82\00:15:24.62
Well, looks like we're finally
emerging from the tree line,
00:15:50.55\00:15:54.92
we're at about
11,500 feet above sea level.
00:15:54.95\00:15:58.82
Let's keep on going.
00:15:58.85\00:16:00.19
So back to our story
about Noah and the flood,
00:16:06.90\00:16:09.66
the Bible says that water
exploded out of the ground
00:16:09.70\00:16:13.37
and it flooded the
earth for five months.
00:16:13.40\00:16:16.60
And not only that, it
rained for 40 days straight.
00:16:16.64\00:16:20.88
I'm ready for a break.
00:16:26.11\00:16:27.45
Today, when we see water
damage and floods and mudslides,
00:16:30.82\00:16:34.52
it's impressive to see how
much damage that can cause.
00:16:34.56\00:16:37.36
Imagine that
happening to the whole world.
00:16:37.39\00:16:40.66
The world was
one big muddy mess.
00:16:40.70\00:16:44.43
There was so much
water that it covered
00:16:44.47\00:16:46.80
all the high hills of the world.
00:16:46.84\00:16:48.94
Now remember, back then,
00:16:48.97\00:16:50.44
mountains
haven't been formed yet,
00:16:50.47\00:16:52.17
so it didn't have to go
as high as Mount Everest.
00:16:52.21\00:16:56.91
In other words,
mountains like Everest
00:16:56.95\00:16:59.31
were probably formed
during or after the flood.
00:16:59.35\00:17:02.62
So God didn't
have to flood the world
00:17:02.65\00:17:05.09
with 30,000 feet deep of water,
00:17:05.12\00:17:07.89
in order to cover Mount Everest.
00:17:07.92\00:17:09.42
Well, we are definitely
above the tree line now
00:17:18.73\00:17:21.67
and it's getting
colder and windier.
00:17:21.70\00:17:24.54
Nobody said this
was gonna be easy.
00:17:24.57\00:17:27.18
Let's keep going.
00:17:27.21\00:17:28.54
You know, the
layers of the earth
00:17:31.61\00:17:33.52
provide other clues
00:17:33.55\00:17:34.88
as to what may have
happened on the earth.
00:17:34.92\00:17:37.15
Evolution teaches that
00:17:40.59\00:17:41.92
the layers were
deposited by water
00:17:41.96\00:17:44.13
when they covered and uncovered
different parts of the earth
00:17:44.16\00:17:47.16
by small and local floods.
00:17:47.20\00:17:49.86
The problem is that the
layers we find out there
00:17:49.90\00:17:53.07
cover huge areas.
00:17:53.10\00:17:54.87
Some of them span
halfway across the world.
00:17:54.90\00:17:58.17
So could a small local
flood deposit so much sediment
00:17:58.21\00:18:02.71
that it could span
halfway across the world?
00:18:02.74\00:18:06.78
I don't think so.
00:18:06.82\00:18:08.85
I think I'm gonna
write this in my journal.
00:18:08.88\00:18:10.49
Secular scientists teach
00:18:16.02\00:18:17.96
that small local floods
deposited all the layers.
00:18:17.99\00:18:22.06
But could a small local
flood really deposit layers
00:18:22.10\00:18:26.94
that span halfway
across the planet?
00:18:26.97\00:18:31.54
No.
00:18:31.57\00:18:32.91
We are now at 13,000 feet.
00:18:39.05\00:18:42.42
And as you can see, the climb
is getting harder and harder.
00:18:42.45\00:18:45.79
We still have
another 1,500 feet to climb.
00:18:50.26\00:18:54.10
I need a break.
00:18:57.83\00:18:59.83
I think I'm gonna sit
on this nice big rock.
00:18:59.87\00:19:03.51
Oh, yeah.
00:19:03.54\00:19:06.31
In Psalms 104,
the Bible talks about
00:19:06.34\00:19:09.01
the mountains being raised
up at the end of the flood
00:19:09.04\00:19:12.05
and the floodwaters
draining down into the valleys.
00:19:12.08\00:19:15.18
Volcanic
eruptions and earthquakes
00:19:15.22\00:19:17.55
would cause the surface plates
to move around dramatically.
00:19:17.59\00:19:21.12
This would explain
why we see large mountains
00:19:21.16\00:19:23.96
all over the planet.
00:19:23.99\00:19:25.33
That's what happens
00:19:25.36\00:19:26.70
when the plates
collide with each other.
00:19:26.73\00:19:29.06
This would also explain
00:19:29.10\00:19:30.43
why we find
fossilized marine life
00:19:30.47\00:19:32.97
at the top of mountains.
00:19:33.00\00:19:34.34
Man, I'm getting
blasted by the wind here.
00:19:40.14\00:19:42.24
We're gonna hide behind a rock.
00:19:42.28\00:19:45.38
You know, it's no secret
00:19:45.41\00:19:46.92
that the top of Mount Everest
00:19:46.95\00:19:48.72
is chock-full of
fossilized seashells.
00:19:48.75\00:19:53.89
So is there any evidence
that this could happen quickly
00:19:53.92\00:19:56.96
like the Bible says?
00:19:56.99\00:19:58.79
Yes.
00:19:58.83\00:20:00.16
In 2004, a huge
earthquake in the South Pacific
00:20:00.20\00:20:04.00
caused the tsunami,
00:20:04.03\00:20:05.50
which then caused a lot
of death and destruction.
00:20:05.53\00:20:08.74
Scientists have
learned that that earthquake
00:20:08.77\00:20:11.64
caused an uplift of 20
feet in only a few minutes.
00:20:11.67\00:20:15.74
Twenty feet in
only a few minutes.
00:20:15.78\00:20:19.65
And we know
that event is nothing
00:20:19.68\00:20:21.88
compared to the
event that happened
00:20:21.92\00:20:23.25
at the time of the flood.
00:20:23.28\00:20:25.65
Just to compare and get an idea,
00:20:25.69\00:20:28.12
if we can
observe a 20 foot uplift
00:20:28.16\00:20:30.43
in a couple of minutes,
00:20:30.46\00:20:31.79
that means a
mountain like Mount Everest
00:20:31.83\00:20:34.26
could be uplifted to 29,000 feet
00:20:34.30\00:20:37.10
above sea level.
00:20:37.13\00:20:38.47
Sometime during
or after the flood...
00:20:38.50\00:20:41.17
The tectonic plates
that make up our surface
00:20:41.20\00:20:43.71
are obviously
still moving around today
00:20:43.74\00:20:45.94
because we feel earthquakes.
00:20:45.97\00:20:48.31
Earthquakes are a
reminder of the flood.
00:20:48.34\00:20:52.38
I'm gonna write some of
this down in my journal.
00:20:52.41\00:20:53.98
The 2004 earthquake-tsunami
caused a 20 foot uplift
00:21:03.12\00:21:07.76
in only a couple of minutes.
00:21:07.80\00:21:12.53
Earthquakes
remind us of the flood.
00:21:12.57\00:21:19.14
All right. We need to
keep this climb going.
00:21:19.17\00:21:21.44
We have a long ways to go still.
00:21:21.48\00:21:22.81
We continue climbing
higher hour after hour.
00:21:40.00\00:21:44.97
Wow! The terrain here
is getting rough and rocky.
00:21:53.14\00:21:57.38
You know, speaking of
rocks, evolution teaches
00:21:57.41\00:21:59.95
that it takes millions
of years to form rocks.
00:21:59.98\00:22:03.49
They don't.
00:22:03.52\00:22:04.85
Given the right
conditions and ingredients,
00:22:04.89\00:22:07.42
they can form quickly.
00:22:07.46\00:22:11.76
Check out this
picture I have of a clock
00:22:11.79\00:22:14.83
that is totally encased in rock.
00:22:14.86\00:22:17.30
More proof that you
don't need millions of years
00:22:22.87\00:22:25.84
to form solid rock.
00:22:25.87\00:22:27.44
We're getting really
close to the summit now.
00:22:40.29\00:22:43.16
We're almost there.
00:22:43.19\00:22:44.53
We made it!
00:22:49.63\00:22:50.97
What an incredible feeling!
00:22:59.87\00:23:02.21
It's like being
on top of the world.
00:23:02.24\00:23:04.91
It's amazing to be here.
00:23:10.29\00:23:12.52
And to think
that before the flood
00:23:12.55\00:23:14.86
this mountain wasn't here.
00:23:14.89\00:23:18.96
Did you know that
scientists have calculated
00:23:18.99\00:23:21.60
that if we were to
flatten out the mountains
00:23:21.63\00:23:24.20
and the ocean floor
00:23:24.23\00:23:26.03
the earth will be covered
with a mile deep of water?
00:23:26.07\00:23:30.34
That shows us
00:23:30.37\00:23:31.71
that there is more than
enough water on the earth
00:23:31.74\00:23:34.01
to cover the whole planet
00:23:34.04\00:23:35.44
before the
mountains were uplifted,
00:23:35.48\00:23:37.48
just like the Bible says.
00:23:37.51\00:23:38.85
It is so wonderful
00:23:44.59\00:23:45.92
when nature confirms
the ancient written stories
00:23:45.95\00:23:49.22
told in the Bible.
00:23:49.26\00:23:50.59
Wow! That was amazing!
00:23:55.56\00:23:58.13
The view from the
top of a fourteener
00:23:58.17\00:24:00.14
is incredible!
00:24:00.17\00:24:01.94
It really feels like
you're on top of the world.
00:24:01.97\00:24:04.84
And it's not
something you just go and do.
00:24:04.87\00:24:07.11
You have to prepare
really well ahead of time
00:24:07.14\00:24:09.61
and make sure you
have the right kind of gear
00:24:09.64\00:24:12.11
to climb.
00:24:12.15\00:24:13.48
Well, I need to finish my report
00:24:13.52\00:24:15.38
and send it off to HQ.
00:24:15.42\00:24:17.22
Remember, if
you want to read it,
00:24:17.25\00:24:18.65
just go to our website.
00:24:18.69\00:24:20.02
Small local floods
00:24:25.99\00:24:27.53
could not have
deposited huge layers
00:24:27.56\00:24:30.27
that we see going
halfway across the world.
00:24:30.30\00:24:32.70
Mountains are formed
00:24:36.34\00:24:37.67
when shifting
tectonic plates are uplifted.
00:24:37.71\00:24:42.61
We've seen evidence
00:24:42.64\00:24:44.18
that a 20 foot uplift
00:24:44.21\00:24:45.85
can happen in
only a few minutes.
00:24:45.88\00:24:49.78
Earthquakes are
reminders of the flood.
00:24:49.82\00:24:53.02
You know, in
almost everything we do,
00:25:00.50\00:25:02.76
it's necessary to prepare.
00:25:02.80\00:25:05.03
If you go to school,
00:25:05.07\00:25:06.40
you need to study and
be prepared for your tests.
00:25:06.43\00:25:09.44
If you play sports, you
also need to be prepared
00:25:09.47\00:25:12.07
by training and
having the right gear.
00:25:12.11\00:25:15.28
Or maybe it's music or church,
being prepared is important.
00:25:15.31\00:25:20.65
In order to live how
God wants us to live,
00:25:20.68\00:25:23.69
we also need to be
prepared by reading the Bible
00:25:23.72\00:25:26.99
or praying or serving others,
00:25:27.02\00:25:29.46
singing and
learning more about God.
00:25:29.49\00:25:33.06
I hope you'll make a
time every single day
00:25:33.09\00:25:36.06
to prepare to be
the best follower of God
00:25:36.10\00:25:38.80
you can be,
00:25:38.83\00:25:40.17
during every minute of the day.
00:25:40.20\00:25:42.50
I hope you'll join me
again for our next assignment.
00:25:42.54\00:25:45.81
And remember, God the
Creator loves what He creates,
00:25:45.84\00:25:49.84
especially you.
00:25:49.88\00:25:51.21
Good night.
00:25:51.25\00:25:52.58
Hold on. We got bloopers.
00:26:02.69\00:26:04.56
Say, well, where am I going?
I'm like, not even very close.
00:26:08.13\00:26:11.23
They argue, argued
that... Why am I asking words?
00:26:11.27\00:26:16.17
If you got...
00:26:16.20\00:26:17.87
Twenty foot up...
00:26:17.91\00:26:21.64
Hi, everyone Doc M here.
00:26:21.68\00:26:25.01
I'll just start
that right over again.
00:26:25.05\00:26:27.18
Well, that is...
00:26:27.22\00:26:31.05
True or false.
00:26:31.09\00:26:32.42
You see the expert.
00:26:36.02\00:26:37.36
Hello? No.
00:26:37.39\00:26:38.96
Oh, no.
00:26:38.99\00:26:40.66
