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\00:00:17.61 Evolution teaches the opposite. 00:00:20.65\00:00:22.72 No one created, it all happened by itself. 00:00:22.75\00:00:26.25 Which one is the truth? 00:00:26.29\00:00:30.33 This is Headquarters, 00:00:30.36\00:00:34.13 Doc M, Jacqui, 00:00:34.16\00:00:41.10 and Rich, 00:00:41.14\00:00:44.81 their job, investigate and discover the truth. 00:00:44.84\00:00:48.38 This is The Creation Case. 00:00:52.28\00:00:54.75 Hi, Doc M. Hi, Jacqui. 00:01:21.78\00:01:25.18 Where's Rich today?

Goose egg? 00:01:35.16\00:01:39.36 Okay. So he's somewhere with a goose. 00:01:39.39\00:01:41.86 Yeah. Interesting. 00:01:41.90\00:01:45.43 Well, that's bizarre and that's Rich. 00:01:45.47\00:01:49.07 Well, I have something for him. 00:01:49.10\00:01:50.97 I just got an email. 00:01:51.01\00:01:52.74 Why don't you read it? Okay. 00:01:52.77\00:01:55.34 It says, "Dear, Doc M, 00:01:55.41\00:01:58.35 our class went on a field trip this week to a museum. 00:01:58.38\00:02:02.95 Everything they showed us, 00:02:02.98\00:02:04.32 they said it was millions of years old, 00:02:04.35\00:02:07.32 stuff like petrified wood and other things. 00:02:07.36\00:02:10.43 One of my friends in my class says they're wrong. 00:02:10.73\00:02:14.10 He says at a church they taught him that 00:02:14.13\00:02:15.70 it doesn't take that long for those things to form. 00:02:15.73\00:02:20.30 Are there things in the world 00:02:20.34\00:02:21.67 that take millions of years to form or not? 00:02:21.70\00:02:24.34 Who's right? 00:02:24.37\00:02:26.04 Thank you, Andres from Worcester, Massachusetts." 00:02:26.07\00:02:30.85 Hmm. 00:02:30.88\00:02:32.21 Wow, that's got to be so confusing. 00:02:32.25\00:02:34.52 Very. Yeah. Let me show you something. 00:02:34.55\00:02:40.79 Look at these. Two Roman coins. 00:02:40.82\00:02:44.83 One of those is fake, 00:02:44.86\00:02:48.73 but the other one of those, it's a real thing. 00:02:48.76\00:02:51.27 Really? Yeah. 00:02:51.30\00:02:52.63 See if you can find out which one it. 00:02:52.67\00:02:54.00 Let's take a look. All right. 00:02:54.04\00:02:55.37 Shall we? 00:02:55.40\00:02:56.74 Well, okay, this one has a head, 00:02:56.77\00:03:02.34 guessing it be Caesar, Augustus, or someone like that. 00:03:02.38\00:03:06.72 And this one kind of has a horse in the front 00:03:06.75\00:03:11.22 and it says... 00:03:11.25\00:03:13.42 It says some something. 00:03:13.46\00:03:16.96 I think it's a 64 BC. 00:03:16.99\00:03:21.60 I don't know, they all look so similar and real. 00:03:21.63\00:03:23.53 Yeah. Mm-hmm 00:03:23.57\00:03:28.40 Doc M, this is the fake. I'll tell you why. 00:03:28.44\00:03:34.91 It says 64 BC. 00:03:34.94\00:03:39.51 How did they know that Christ is gonna be born, 00:03:39.55\00:03:41.85 they had no idea. 00:03:41.88\00:03:43.89 So if they have no idea, 00:03:43.92\00:03:45.92 why would they know how to call it BC. 00:03:45.95\00:03:47.89 You can't date something before the event happened. 00:03:47.92\00:03:52.09 You're right. BC is Before Christ. 00:03:52.13\00:03:54.73 Yeah. They couldn't do it. 00:03:54.76\00:03:56.73 Here's the thing 00:03:56.77\00:03:58.20 is that sometimes people say things are really super old. 00:03:58.23\00:04:03.81 But the evidence and the clues that we can discover 00:04:03.84\00:04:07.78 say something different. 00:04:07.81\00:04:09.98 You know what I think? You tell me. 00:04:10.01\00:04:12.01 I think this is an assignment for Rich. 00:04:12.05\00:04:14.38 You got it. Yes. 00:04:14.42\00:04:16.12 So I will find him. 00:04:16.15\00:04:18.12 And I'll give him his assignment. 00:04:18.15\00:04:20.49 Super. 00:04:20.52\00:04:21.86 Let me know how it goes with the goose thing. 00:04:21.89\00:04:23.22 Yeah. 00:04:23.26\00:04:24.59 I'll definitely work on that one. 00:04:24.63\00:04:27.00 I'm okay.

So please look into this. 00:06:35.72\00:06:38.83 We look forward to your report. 00:06:38.86\00:06:42.03 Rich are you chasing around geese? 00:06:42.06\00:06:44.83 Chasing geese?

00:09:14.78\00:09:17.42 In the United States, we're talking about cities like 00:09:17.45\00:09:19.65 Phoenix, and San Diego, and El Paso. 00:09:19.69\00:09:23.32 Are you wondering which US cities 00:09:23.36\00:09:24.83 get the most rainfall? 00:09:24.86\00:09:26.46 Cities like Miami, and New Orleans, and Mobile 00:09:26.49\00:09:29.26 get over 60 inches of rain per year. 00:09:29.30\00:09:32.60 What about the whole planet? 00:09:32.63\00:09:34.47 The rainiest place on earth is a city in India 00:09:34.50\00:09:37.11 that gets over 450 inches of rain per year. 00:09:37.14\00:09:41.58 That's a lot of rain. 00:09:41.61\00:09:43.88 And the driest place is a desert in Chile 00:09:43.91\00:09:46.61 where they haven't even seen a millimeter of rain 00:09:46.65\00:09:49.18 in hundreds of years. 00:09:49.22\00:09:51.12 That's dry. 00:09:51.15\00:09:52.49 I think we're almost there just a few more miles. 00:10:00.96\00:10:03.37 I can't wait. 00:10:03.40\00:10:04.73 We're here, but we need to walk a little ways 00:10:21.58\00:10:23.82 to get to the petrified logs. 00:10:23.85\00:10:25.32 Come on. 00:10:25.35\00:10:27.46 Petrified wood is found all over the world 00:10:27.49\00:10:30.79 on every continent. 00:10:30.83\00:10:32.29 Normally, when you see petrified wood in a park 00:10:37.27\00:10:40.64 or in a museum, 00:10:40.67\00:10:42.00 they will tell you that it's millions of years old. 00:10:42.04\00:10:46.74 Why do they say that? 00:10:46.78\00:10:48.34 Because some scientists say that the dirt layers 00:10:48.38\00:10:50.55 where they found those logs are millions of years old. 00:10:50.58\00:10:53.11 Hey, here's a few good pieces. 00:10:56.15\00:10:58.39 So what is petrified wood? 00:11:01.49\00:11:04.23 It's basically wood that was buried rapidly 00:11:04.26\00:11:07.50 and then turned into stone. 00:11:07.53\00:11:10.17 Once buried, 00:11:10.20\00:11:11.53 the living parts of the tree are replaced by minerals 00:11:11.57\00:11:14.60 and the tree becomes a rock. 00:11:14.64\00:11:18.17 The only way to preserve a tree is to bury it quickly 00:11:18.21\00:11:22.31 and only some sort of dramatic event 00:11:22.34\00:11:24.48 could have buried so many trees. 00:11:24.51\00:11:25.85 Remember, it had to happen quickly 00:11:28.82\00:11:31.45 because once a tree falls down and dies, 00:11:31.49\00:11:33.52 it starts to rot right away. 00:11:33.56\00:11:35.82 None of these trees here got to rot, 00:11:35.86\00:11:38.19 they were buried right away and preserved. 00:11:38.23\00:11:40.40 Think about it, 00:11:47.70\00:11:49.04 petrified wood is found everywhere in the world. 00:11:49.07\00:11:52.07 Whatever dramatic event happened to preserve them 00:11:52.11\00:11:54.58 seems to have happened everywhere. 00:11:54.61\00:11:56.81 If you ask me, this sure sounds a lot like the flood story. 00:11:56.85\00:12:00.72 Billions of trees, like this, 00:12:00.75\00:12:02.48 around the world buried rapidly and preserved? 00:12:02.52\00:12:05.02 Hey, here's a real nice pile of petrified logs. 00:12:11.26\00:12:14.06 You know, scientists used to say, 00:12:23.57\00:12:25.07 it takes millions of years to make petrified logs 00:12:25.11\00:12:27.78 but recently, they're discovering that 00:12:27.81\00:12:29.21 it doesn't take that long after all. 00:12:29.24\00:12:31.31 They learned that it can even happen in just a few years. 00:12:31.35\00:12:34.38 And it can even be done in a lab. 00:12:34.42\00:12:36.89 You don't need millions of years to petrify wood. 00:12:36.92\00:12:39.72 You just need the right conditions. 00:12:39.75\00:12:44.49 There's a spring in Europe 00:12:44.53\00:12:45.86 where water coming out is full of minerals. 00:12:45.89\00:12:48.36 What you can do is send small objects 00:12:48.40\00:12:50.13 like a shoe or a teddy bear, 00:12:50.17\00:12:52.00 and they soak it in that water for several months, 00:12:52.03\00:12:54.47 and then they send it back to you petrified. 00:12:54.50\00:12:59.04 Like I said, 00:12:59.07\00:13:00.41 petrifying has a do with the right conditions, 00:13:00.44\00:13:02.68 nothing to do with millions of years. 00:13:02.71\00:13:05.21 I think I'm gonna write that down in my journal. 00:13:05.25\00:13:09.38 Sit over here on this nice petrified log. 00:13:09.42\00:13:13.96 Petrifying wood has to do with having the right conditions, 00:13:13.99\00:13:17.53 not the passing of millions of years. 00:13:17.56\00:13:22.36 These logs are on the surface 00:13:22.40\00:13:24.07 but sometimes we find them buried in the ground. 00:13:24.10\00:13:26.27 Check it out. I have a picture. 00:13:26.30\00:13:27.64 As you can see, these types of petrified logs 00:13:30.97\00:13:33.81 are going through several layers. 00:13:33.84\00:13:36.48 If the bottom of a tree is buried in one layer, 00:13:36.51\00:13:39.48 is it possible for the top of the tree 00:13:39.51\00:13:40.98 to stick out of the ground and wait for millions of years 00:13:41.02\00:13:43.32 to be buried by the next layer? 00:13:43.35\00:13:45.05 No. 00:13:45.09\00:13:46.42 When you see a petrified tree 00:13:46.45\00:13:47.79 crossing through several layers, 00:13:47.82\00:13:49.16 you have to assume that it was buried all at once 00:13:49.19\00:13:51.66 and that the layers aren't millions of years apart. 00:13:51.69\00:13:54.56 It's amazing, how nature provides us 00:13:54.60\00:13:56.53 with so many little clues. 00:13:56.56\00:13:58.83 You know, this is a cool place. 00:13:58.87\00:14:00.20 I think I'm gonna sketch one of these logs. 00:14:00.24\00:14:03.51 Is it a coincidence 00:14:03.54\00:14:05.04 that the petrification is mainly caused by logs 00:14:05.07\00:14:07.48 being buried rapidly by water and mud? 00:14:07.51\00:14:11.11 Is it also a coincidence 00:14:11.15\00:14:12.88 that this is found all over the world? 00:14:12.91\00:14:16.52 This really looks like something the flood 00:14:16.55\00:14:19.52 would have caused. 00:14:19.55\00:14:22.59 You know, there's another place we need to visit, 00:14:22.62\00:14:24.56 a cave because some people think 00:14:24.59\00:14:26.73 that caves also take millions of years to form. 00:14:26.76\00:14:29.36 We're gonna have to check out the evidence, 00:14:29.40\00:14:31.03 that means we're gonna have to find a cave. 00:14:31.07\00:14:33.23 I know where there's a great one. 00:14:33.27\00:14:34.60 Come on, let's get back to the jeep. 00:14:34.64\00:14:35.97 Hi, everyone. 00:14:43.31\00:14:44.65 It's Doc M here at HQ. 00:14:44.68\00:14:47.35 I thought I'd talk to you about radioisotope dating. 00:14:47.38\00:14:49.75 Oh, that's really interesting. 00:14:49.78\00:14:52.65 That's the primary dating method 00:14:52.69\00:14:54.49 scientists used to figure out how old the earth is. 00:14:54.52\00:14:58.69 They call a machine, the mass spectrometer. 00:14:58.73\00:15:03.80 This is what one looks like. 00:15:03.83\00:15:05.53 I've a picture right here on my computer. 00:15:05.57\00:15:10.21 Using this machine, 00:15:10.24\00:15:11.67 scientists say the world is 00:15:11.71\00:15:13.61 4.5 billion years old. 00:15:13.64\00:15:18.85 So how does this machine really work? 00:15:18.88\00:15:21.12 Well, there are atoms in rocks that decay, they breakdown, 00:15:21.15\00:15:26.19 and change to other types of atoms. 00:15:26.22\00:15:29.42 Uranium decays and breaks down into lead, 00:15:29.46\00:15:32.83 potassium decays into argon. 00:15:32.86\00:15:37.17 These machines can measure the rate 00:15:37.20\00:15:39.27 at which these atoms are decaying. 00:15:39.30\00:15:41.07 You put something in and it figures out 00:15:41.10\00:15:42.84 how fast it's decaying. 00:15:42.87\00:15:44.34 Well, that's pretty cool, 00:15:44.37\00:15:45.94 except there are few problems, of course. 00:15:45.97\00:15:50.28 These machines weren't around hundreds 00:15:50.31\00:15:51.95 or even billions of years ago. 00:15:51.98\00:15:54.85 So the machines have to make a few assumptions 00:15:54.88\00:15:59.79 about some of the conditions in the past. 00:15:59.82\00:16:03.12 Well, that's where we run into problems. 00:16:03.16\00:16:06.39 How can we ask a machine to tell us 00:16:06.43\00:16:10.17 how old stuff is 00:16:10.20\00:16:12.03 if no one knows a bunch of important details 00:16:12.07\00:16:15.00 about the past? 00:16:15.04\00:16:16.37 It's impossible. Can't do it. 00:16:16.40\00:16:19.27 Plus, some of these atoms decay so fast, 00:16:19.31\00:16:21.54 the dates are only good for a few thousand years. 00:16:21.58\00:16:24.71 Let me give you an example. 00:16:24.75\00:16:26.08 An hourglass. 00:16:30.02\00:16:31.62 Let's say we just got here and you see it. 00:16:31.65\00:16:34.96 An hourglass with some sand in the bottom 00:16:34.99\00:16:37.86 and some sand at the top, 00:16:37.89\00:16:40.00 by just looking at this you can't tell exactly 00:16:40.03\00:16:43.10 how long the hourglass has been running. 00:16:43.13\00:16:45.47 No, it's impossible. 00:16:45.50\00:16:48.27 You could calculate and measure all you want, 00:16:48.30\00:16:50.94 but it's impossible to really know. 00:16:50.97\00:16:53.68 What if there was already sand in the bottom 00:16:53.71\00:16:56.78 when it was turned over? 00:16:56.81\00:16:59.35 Has it always been falling at a constant rate, 00:16:59.38\00:17:01.78 the same amount of sand? 00:17:01.82\00:17:03.92 What if sand was added or taken out of the hourglass 00:17:03.95\00:17:07.66 and we didn't know? 00:17:07.69\00:17:09.02 Since we don't know, 00:17:12.56\00:17:14.03 we would have to make some assumptions, 00:17:14.06\00:17:15.66 assumptions, assumptions, assumptions. 00:17:15.70\00:17:18.57 That's the problem. 00:17:18.60\00:17:20.30 That would seriously affect our calculations. 00:17:20.34\00:17:24.21 The same is done with radioisotope dating. 00:17:24.24\00:17:27.91 If scientists fail to consider 00:17:27.94\00:17:30.35 several of these critical assumptions, 00:17:30.38\00:17:33.62 then you can be pretty sure 00:17:33.65\00:17:35.18 that radioisotope dating will give you incorrect dates. 00:17:35.22\00:17:41.19 Yet again, 00:17:41.22\00:17:42.89 this is another reason I believe God is my Creator. 00:17:42.92\00:17:48.50 Hey, everyone. It's me, Rich Aguilera. 00:17:52.47\00:17:54.80 I'd love to see you at one of our live events 00:17:54.84\00:17:57.44 to see where I'll be speaking, visit our website, 00:17:57.47\00:18:00.41 TheCreationCase.com. 00:18:00.44\00:18:02.44 All right, my rope is tied in because tonight 00:18:09.85\00:18:12.45 we're going caving. 00:18:12.49\00:18:15.92 To go down into a cave, we must go underground. 00:18:15.96\00:18:19.19 I got all the gear I need to get down there. 00:18:19.23\00:18:21.06 Let's go. 00:18:21.10\00:18:22.43 This is not your normal cave. 00:18:29.44\00:18:31.81 To get in, you have to first gear up with the harness. 00:18:31.84\00:18:35.61 The first thing we must do is repel down into the first cave. 00:18:35.64\00:18:40.88 It's so dark, I really can't see what I'm repelling into 00:18:40.92\00:18:45.69 but eventually, I find the bottom. 00:18:45.72\00:18:47.76 At the bottom, I find there is another dark hole, 00:18:52.79\00:18:55.60 I have to repel into, 00:18:55.63\00:18:57.47 and I continued to work my way down deeper 00:18:57.50\00:19:01.04 into this cavern. 00:19:01.07\00:19:02.47 Well, we made it. 00:19:18.45\00:19:19.79 We are about 75 feet below the surface of the earth. 00:19:19.82\00:19:23.32 A cave, of course, is a space underground 00:19:23.36\00:19:25.63 where we can explore and check things out. 00:19:25.66\00:19:27.60 Come on. Let's see what we can find. 00:19:27.63\00:19:31.23 The real question is, how did this cave get here 00:19:31.27\00:19:34.20 and how long did it take to form. 00:19:34.24\00:19:37.67 Like petrified wood, 00:19:37.71\00:19:39.11 evolution teaches that cave also take 00:19:39.14\00:19:41.58 millions of years to form. 00:19:41.61\00:19:44.61 We've come here today to check this one out 00:19:44.65\00:19:46.95 and to investigate 00:19:46.98\00:19:48.32 if we really need millions of years to form a cave. 00:19:48.35\00:19:51.59 Most caves are cut out of soft stone like limestone. 00:19:51.62\00:19:55.62 It's a kind of stone that dissolves. 00:19:55.66\00:19:58.39 The water in the ground above us has acid in it, 00:19:58.43\00:20:01.66 acid dissolves stuff. 00:20:01.70\00:20:04.23 Most scientists believe that when acid water seeps down 00:20:04.27\00:20:07.37 through the cracks in the earth, 00:20:07.40\00:20:08.90 it slowly dissolves away the limestone, 00:20:08.94\00:20:11.41 leaving caves like this one, huge openings underground. 00:20:11.44\00:20:15.84 The question is, 00:20:15.88\00:20:17.31 does it really take millions of years to do that. 00:20:17.35\00:20:20.92 People who study caves see the dripping water 00:20:20.95\00:20:23.49 and assume it's always been dripping like that 00:20:23.52\00:20:25.79 slowly, one drop at a time. 00:20:25.82\00:20:28.52 So if the caves were formed one drop at a time, 00:20:28.56\00:20:31.46 it could make sense that it would take 00:20:31.49\00:20:32.83 a very long time to form a very large cave. 00:20:32.86\00:20:35.90 The thing is that there is another way 00:20:35.93\00:20:38.07 of looking at it. 00:20:38.10\00:20:39.57 The Bible teaches of a global flood 00:20:39.60\00:20:41.34 that covered the earth. 00:20:41.37\00:20:42.70 A global flood would mean that in a short period of time, 00:20:42.74\00:20:45.81 a lot of water would have come through 00:20:45.84\00:20:47.84 and eroded a cave like this very, very quickly. 00:20:47.88\00:20:51.35 Both explanations would form a cave, 00:20:51.38\00:20:53.55 drops of water for millions of years, 00:20:53.58\00:20:55.48 or a lot of water in a short period of time. 00:20:55.52\00:20:59.32 So were caves formed the slow way or the fast way? 00:20:59.35\00:21:04.46 We need to keep looking. 00:21:04.49\00:21:08.00 Wow! This part of the cave is kind of tight. 00:21:08.03\00:21:11.00 Think of it like a lollipop. 00:21:14.04\00:21:15.80 If you lick it once a day, 00:21:15.84\00:21:17.47 it will take a long time to dissolve. 00:21:17.51\00:21:19.87 But if you lick it every few seconds, 00:21:19.91\00:21:21.88 it will dissolve in no time. 00:21:21.91\00:21:24.25 More water means, it would dissolve quicker. 00:21:24.28\00:21:28.35 Stalactites and stalagmites are interesting too. 00:21:28.38\00:21:31.85 They're formed by water rich in minerals 00:21:31.89\00:21:34.46 that build up into some cool shapes. 00:21:34.49\00:21:37.49 Some scientists claim 00:21:37.53\00:21:38.86 that they take millions of years to form. 00:21:38.89\00:21:41.33 But what really matters 00:21:41.36\00:21:42.70 is how much water has passed through there, 00:21:42.73\00:21:45.53 not how much time. 00:21:45.57\00:21:47.54 Water forms caves, not time. 00:21:47.57\00:21:51.77 Wow, I finally got through that tight passage. 00:21:51.81\00:21:55.14 Have you ever seen the Lincoln Memorial 00:22:05.25\00:22:07.36 in Washington DC? 00:22:07.39\00:22:09.12 Let me show you a picture of it. 00:22:09.16\00:22:11.79 For years, 00:22:11.83\00:22:13.16 water has been dripping down into the basement 00:22:13.19\00:22:15.00 where stalactites have formed. 00:22:15.03\00:22:17.47 They have grown 5 feet in 45 years. 00:22:17.50\00:22:21.24 Do you know 00:22:21.27\00:22:22.60 what the Lincoln Memorial is made of? 00:22:22.64\00:22:24.41 Yep. Limestone. 00:22:24.44\00:22:26.94 Stalactites are actually found forming all over the place. 00:22:26.98\00:22:30.95 They are found forming on bridges 00:22:30.98\00:22:32.85 and in subway tunnels. 00:22:32.88\00:22:34.72 You don't need a lot of time to form a stalactite. 00:22:34.75\00:22:37.85 You just need the right conditions. 00:22:37.89\00:22:40.16 And during a flood, you would expect water 00:22:40.19\00:22:42.56 to be filled with minerals and stuff. 00:22:42.59\00:22:44.89 And the water would not be clean and pure, 00:22:44.93\00:22:47.06 it would be muddy and dirty and filled with minerals. 00:22:47.10\00:22:51.80 Massive amounts of water rich with minerals... 00:22:51.83\00:22:55.90 Hmm... 00:22:55.94\00:22:57.27 I gonna write this down in my journal. 00:22:57.31\00:22:59.27 Caves are formed by large amounts of water, 00:23:10.99\00:23:14.42 not large amounts of time. 00:23:14.46\00:23:19.13 Since the Bible is God's Word, 00:23:19.16\00:23:21.53 when we compare the things we see in nature to it, 00:23:21.56\00:23:24.50 we see that the Bible has the truth. 00:23:24.53\00:23:29.84 Well, I've looked everywhere. 00:23:29.87\00:23:31.81 There's only one way to get back out of this cave. 00:23:31.84\00:23:35.04 The same way we came in. 00:23:35.08\00:23:37.15 I made it. 00:24:02.70\00:24:04.04 That cave was intense. 00:24:10.28\00:24:12.65 You know, sometimes we forget that things on the surface 00:24:12.68\00:24:15.52 aren't the only things on the planet. 00:24:15.55\00:24:17.89 There's an amazing world of nature underground too 00:24:17.92\00:24:21.49 and also in the oceans. 00:24:21.52\00:24:23.19 I need to keep exploring these places. 00:24:23.22\00:24:26.09 Well, I need to finish up my report and send it to HQ. 00:24:26.13\00:24:30.17 Remember, if you wanna read it, just go to our website. 00:24:30.20\00:24:32.90 When everyone out there keep saying everything 00:24:38.81\00:24:40.88 is millions of years old, 00:24:40.91\00:24:42.71 it can be confusing but comparing the Bible 00:24:42.74\00:24:45.61 to the things we see in nature shows us the truth. 00:24:45.65\00:24:51.29 Petrifying wood has to do 00:24:51.32\00:24:53.29 with having the right conditions, 00:24:53.32\00:24:55.39 not the passing of millions of years. 00:24:55.42\00:24:59.23 Caves are formed by large amounts of water, 00:24:59.26\00:25:02.76 not large amounts of time. 00:25:02.80\00:25:06.40 The biblical account of the flood 00:25:06.43\00:25:08.70 goes with what we see in nature. 00:25:08.74\00:25:12.54 You know, there are a lot of experts out there 00:25:12.57\00:25:15.08 claiming to have the truth, 00:25:15.11\00:25:17.31 but many of the things they say 00:25:17.35\00:25:19.45 go against the truth that we find in the Bible. 00:25:19.48\00:25:22.75 It's important to be careful 00:25:22.78\00:25:25.22 because Satan wants to trick us into believing lies about God. 00:25:25.25\00:25:30.73 This is a very serious thing 00:25:30.76\00:25:32.73 because you know what's at stake, 00:25:32.76\00:25:35.06 life and death. 00:25:35.10\00:25:37.77 If we choose wrong 00:25:37.80\00:25:39.13 and believe in the enemy's lies, 00:25:39.17\00:25:40.87 we may miss out on the most wonderful gift 00:25:40.90\00:25:43.74 our Creator wants to give us, 00:25:43.77\00:25:45.71 eternal life with Him in heaven. 00:25:45.74\00:25:48.78 More than anything, I want to choose the truth. 00:25:48.81\00:25:52.21 I hope you will do the same. 00:25:52.25\00:25:55.55 Well, I hope you'll join me again for our next assignment. 00:25:55.58\00:25:59.29 Remember, God the Creator loves what He creates, 00:25:59.32\00:26:04.03 especially you. 00:26:04.06\00:26:05.46 Goodnight. 00:26:05.49\00:26:06.83 You know. 00:26:16.87\00:26:19.47 A river... 00:26:19.51\00:26:21.74 What is that? 00:26:21.78\00:26:25.45 Perfect. 00:26:25.48\00:26:28.48 Barrier to bury...
