Where did we come from?
00:00:10.94\00:00:14.11
The Bible says, "In
the beginning God created."
00:00:14.14\00:00:17.58
Evolution teaches the opposite.
00:00:20.62\00:00:22.68
No one created, it
all happened by itself.
00:00:22.72\00:00:26.12
Which one is the truth?
00:00:26.15\00:00:30.23
This is Headquarters,
00:00:30.26\00:00:34.13
Doc M.
00:00:34.16\00:00:35.50
Jacqui,
00:00:38.57\00:00:41.07
and Rich,
00:00:41.10\00:00:44.77
their job, investigate
and discover the truth.
00:00:44.81\00:00:48.41
This is The Creation Case.
00:00:52.35\00:00:54.75
Wait a minute, what are these?
00:01:19.27\00:01:23.55
Oh, those are some pictures
00:01:23.58\00:01:25.08
that I need for
my school assignment.
00:01:25.11\00:01:28.62
Look at your chubby
cheeks. You're just the cutest.
00:01:28.65\00:01:32.25
Don't you have
any baby pictures?
00:01:32.29\00:01:34.02
Believes, I have.
Can I see them, please?
00:01:34.06\00:01:37.19
Pretty, pretty please.
00:01:37.23\00:01:38.73
All right, but only because
00:01:38.76\00:01:40.10
my mom sent me one
just the other week.
00:01:40.13\00:01:42.80
Okay.
00:01:42.83\00:01:44.17
I have it here, I
might just get you
00:01:47.14\00:01:49.40
through an old
picture, and here it is.
00:01:49.44\00:01:52.91
Oh, my goodness, you're so cute.
00:01:52.94\00:01:56.44
Oh, look at you.
00:01:56.48\00:01:58.38
Look at you,
you're a little boy.
00:01:58.41\00:02:00.05
Did you see the
other letter that came?
00:02:03.08\00:02:05.45
No. I haven't read it yet.
00:02:05.49\00:02:06.96
It came with something. So cute.
00:02:06.99\00:02:09.06
What does it say?
00:02:14.13\00:02:15.86
It's from a girl named
Alana in Santa Cruz, California.
00:02:15.90\00:02:20.10
It says, "Hi, Doc
M, I love the beach
00:02:20.14\00:02:22.77
and what's really cool
is hunting for fossils.
00:02:22.80\00:02:25.47
I'm sending you a clam
I found and a seashell."
00:02:25.51\00:02:30.65
A seashell?
00:02:33.82\00:02:35.15
I just got the clam.
00:02:37.99\00:02:39.45
I don't see any shells, nowhere.
00:02:39.49\00:02:41.96
"Last time I took a
friend fossil hunting.
00:02:41.99\00:02:44.19
I told her these fossils
were there since the flood.
00:02:44.23\00:02:46.83
She thought I was crazy.
00:02:46.86\00:02:48.20
And I told her, "We have to look
00:02:48.23\00:02:49.56
at the evidence
around the fossils."
00:02:49.60\00:02:51.97
She's getting it.
00:02:52.00\00:02:53.67
"She was pretty
confused about the whole thing.
00:02:53.70\00:02:55.34
I didn't know what else to say.
00:02:55.37\00:02:57.51
Can you help me
make her understand?
00:02:57.54\00:02:59.74
Thank you, Alana."
00:02:59.77\00:03:01.38
She has nice handwriting.
00:03:01.41\00:03:02.74
She does, it's really cute.
00:03:02.78\00:03:05.08
You know, there is
stuff that's buried.
00:03:05.11\00:03:09.18
People put
super old dates on it,
00:03:09.22\00:03:11.72
say it's old,
00:03:11.75\00:03:13.86
but we have to be
careful and study the evidence.
00:03:13.89\00:03:18.19
It's like this picture of me.
00:03:18.23\00:03:20.96
Is this old or new?
00:03:21.00\00:03:22.86
Old.
00:03:22.90\00:03:26.60
Careful.
00:03:26.63\00:03:28.04
How do you know?
00:03:28.07\00:03:29.54
Well, you're little,
00:03:29.57\00:03:32.27
but you still look like you...
00:03:32.31\00:03:35.48
It doesn't have a date,
00:03:35.51\00:03:38.05
but you're close.
00:03:38.08\00:03:42.28
It is.
00:03:42.32\00:03:43.65
Yeah, well, you're right.
00:03:43.69\00:03:45.59
There is no date,
00:03:45.62\00:03:46.96
so we have to look at
the evidences, the clues.
00:03:46.99\00:03:50.39
Is this Rich's new assignment?
00:03:50.43\00:03:52.23
Exactly right. I'll go tell him.
00:03:52.26\00:03:56.60
Where is Rich?
00:03:56.63\00:03:59.47
He said
something about the forest
00:03:59.50\00:04:02.64
and studying gravity.
00:04:02.67\00:04:04.87
Gravity?
00:04:04.91\00:04:06.27
Well, seems simple enough.
00:04:06.31\00:04:08.71
Oops.
00:04:13.08\00:04:14.42
What was that?
00:04:14.45\00:04:15.78
I think I just found a seashell.
00:04:15.82\00:04:19.69
Do you have a creation
question for Headquarters?
00:04:19.72\00:04:22.62
Send your questions
to Doc, Jacqui, and Rich
00:04:22.66\00:04:25.53
by visiting our
website at TheCreationCase.com.
00:04:25.56\00:04:29.36
Hey, I think we
got a message from HQ,
00:06:14.67\00:06:17.84
must be our new assignment.
00:06:17.87\00:06:19.21
I gotta get down from here.
00:06:19.24\00:06:20.58
Hi, Rich.
00:06:37.13\00:06:38.46
This is Jacqui at HQ.
00:06:38.49\00:06:40.46
I hope you weren't
just hanging around
00:06:40.50\00:06:41.96
waiting for your
next assignment too long.
00:06:42.00\00:06:44.23
Hanging, good choice of words.
00:06:44.27\00:06:46.70
I have your new
assignment from Doc M.
00:06:46.74\00:06:49.10
Today, we need you
to investigate fossils.
00:06:49.14\00:06:53.44
Hey, Rich, if you can see me,
00:06:53.48\00:06:56.54
there's all sorts of old
stuff buried in the ground.
00:06:56.58\00:07:00.12
Those fossils
must tell some story.
00:07:00.15\00:07:03.42
Yeah, the fossil record,
00:07:06.45\00:07:07.96
the things we need
to find in the ground,
00:07:07.99\00:07:09.62
it seem to tell
a different story
00:07:09.66\00:07:11.26
to different people.
00:07:11.29\00:07:12.63
Some scientists say
fossils are evidence
00:07:12.66\00:07:14.80
that our world is
millions of years old.
00:07:14.83\00:07:17.10
Other scientists say
fossils aren't that old.
00:07:17.13\00:07:20.77
We've got to get
to the bottom of this.
00:07:20.80\00:07:22.84
We do need to get
to the bottom of this.
00:07:22.87\00:07:24.97
Please investigate fossils.
00:07:25.01\00:07:26.98
See if the fossil record
00:07:27.01\00:07:28.34
provides any
evidence for creation.
00:07:28.38\00:07:31.05
Happy digging.
00:07:31.08\00:07:32.75
Is he gonna have to dig?
00:07:32.78\00:07:34.12
Well, I guess we look
forward to your report.
00:07:36.89\00:07:38.82
Fossils, interesting.
00:07:41.82\00:07:43.89
I better let them
know I got the message.
00:07:43.93\00:07:47.16
Got message.
00:07:47.20\00:07:50.33
Will dig around
00:07:50.37\00:07:55.37
for information.
00:07:55.40\00:07:59.77
Get it, dig around?
00:07:59.81\00:08:03.11
Another message.
00:08:03.14\00:08:05.51
Very funny.
00:08:05.55\00:08:06.95
I thought it was funny.
00:08:06.98\00:08:10.25
All right, fossils,
00:08:10.29\00:08:11.75
I better write
that down in my journal.
00:08:11.79\00:08:13.96
Fossils.
00:08:19.46\00:08:23.40
It's hard to know what happened
00:08:23.43\00:08:25.00
hundreds or
thousands of years ago,
00:08:25.03\00:08:26.80
because no one's alive
today that was alive back then.
00:08:26.84\00:08:29.84
Fossils provide
us clues, and then
00:08:29.87\00:08:31.91
we come up with the
best conclusions we can.
00:08:31.94\00:08:36.44
You know, not far from here
is a place called Mesa Verde.
00:08:36.48\00:08:39.55
Why don't we start
our investigation there?
00:08:39.58\00:08:42.08
It will help us
understand how to figure out
00:08:42.12\00:08:44.75
what happened in the past.
00:08:44.79\00:08:46.12
We're off to Colorado.
00:08:46.15\00:08:49.22
Help us investigate today.

00:08:55.83\00:08:58.50
Well, we have
arrived in Mesa Verde.
00:09:16.52\00:09:19.09
It's an awesome location
00:09:19.12\00:09:20.66
because we're over
8,000 feet above sea level.
00:09:20.69\00:09:25.19
This is not your
typical mountain though.
00:09:25.23\00:09:27.40
This part of Colorado
00:09:27.43\00:09:28.76
is made up of mesas and cuestas,
00:09:28.80\00:09:30.80
high, flat mountains.
00:09:30.83\00:09:32.97
There are a lot of cliffs here,
00:09:33.00\00:09:34.57
but the reason we came here
is because about 800 years ago,
00:09:34.60\00:09:37.71
the ancient Puebloan
people built cliff dwellings
00:09:37.74\00:09:40.54
right into the cliffs.
00:09:40.58\00:09:41.94
That's what we came to see.
00:09:41.98\00:09:43.31
They lived here
for about 100 years.
00:09:49.68\00:09:52.42
And then 700
years ago, they left,
00:09:52.45\00:09:56.73
they abandoned this place.
00:09:56.76\00:09:58.36
Then hundreds and
hundreds of years go by,
00:10:02.46\00:10:04.70
and they rediscover
this place in the 1800s.
00:10:04.73\00:10:07.04
And everybody wants to
know, what happened here?
00:10:07.07\00:10:11.44
It's a bit of a mystery
00:10:11.47\00:10:13.27
because there are over
4,000 archaeological sites
00:10:13.31\00:10:16.98
and over 600 of
these cliff dwellings.
00:10:17.01\00:10:20.45
Thousands of
people lived in this area.
00:10:20.48\00:10:22.72
There were a lot of
questions but very few answers,
00:10:25.72\00:10:29.42
because the
people that lived here
00:10:29.46\00:10:30.79
did not leave a
written record, nothing.
00:10:30.83\00:10:36.10
That's when you have no choice
00:10:36.13\00:10:37.77
but to look at the
pieces that were left behind
00:10:37.80\00:10:40.14
and try to figure
out what happened here.
00:10:40.17\00:10:42.27
It's like a big puzzle.
00:10:42.30\00:10:43.81
Puebloans built
some interesting things.
00:10:48.14\00:10:51.11
This is a Kiva.
00:10:51.15\00:10:52.61
Let's go down there.
00:10:52.65\00:10:53.98
I can't see a
thing in this place.
00:10:58.99\00:11:00.89
It's important to remember
as we investigate fossils,
00:11:10.10\00:11:13.07
that when we find fossils,
00:11:13.10\00:11:14.44
they never come
with a written record.
00:11:14.47\00:11:17.14
Our only other choice
00:11:17.17\00:11:18.57
is to start
looking around for clues
00:11:18.61\00:11:20.81
to try to
understand that fossil.
00:11:20.84\00:11:22.91
Here, archaeologists
00:11:22.94\00:11:24.31
are starting to
look for other ways
00:11:24.35\00:11:25.75
to understand these fossils.
00:11:25.78\00:11:27.12
Sometimes museums
and textbooks teach
00:11:45.00\00:11:47.87
that fossils are
millions of years old
00:11:47.90\00:11:50.21
as if they had a tag on them.
00:11:50.24\00:11:52.07
How could they be so sure?
00:11:52.11\00:11:53.54
The only thing we can do
00:11:57.41\00:11:58.95
is study the
stuff that we dig up
00:11:58.98\00:12:00.95
and hope to learn more.
00:12:00.98\00:12:03.95
As we look at the clues,
00:12:03.99\00:12:05.95
we have to
always keep in mind that
00:12:05.99\00:12:07.96
no one really knows
for sure what happened.
00:12:07.99\00:12:10.56
They're just
taking their best guess.
00:12:10.59\00:12:13.23
So when a
scientist or museum says
00:12:13.26\00:12:15.30
something is millions
of years old, remember,
00:12:15.33\00:12:18.33
they really don't know for sure.
00:12:18.37\00:12:22.07
Mesa Verde provides
archaeologists with clues
00:12:22.10\00:12:25.31
about the people that
used to live here long ago.
00:12:25.34\00:12:27.84
But does nature provide
us any clues about creation?
00:12:27.88\00:12:31.98
Evolution teaches that
00:12:32.01\00:12:33.35
tiny animals like
the extinct trilobite
00:12:33.38\00:12:35.65
were some of the
very first creatures.
00:12:35.68\00:12:40.06
They teach that simple creatures
00:12:40.09\00:12:41.99
evolved into fish, and reptiles,
00:12:42.02\00:12:44.83
and mammals, and
birds, and so on.
00:12:44.86\00:12:48.53
The problem is,
00:12:48.56\00:12:50.07
even though we found thousands
of different kinds of fossils,
00:12:50.10\00:12:53.27
there's still
not a single piece of
00:12:53.30\00:12:55.07
undisputed
evidence showing us that
00:12:55.10\00:12:57.24
any of these creatures
changed into the other.
00:12:57.27\00:13:00.98
With so many fossils,
00:13:01.01\00:13:02.78
we should be able to find
00:13:02.81\00:13:04.15
countless examples of
these transitional species
00:13:04.18\00:13:07.02
changing from one
kind of animal to another.
00:13:07.05\00:13:09.98
That's the real
problem with evolution,
00:13:10.02\00:13:12.12
a lack of evidence.
00:13:12.15\00:13:14.42
This is important.
00:13:14.46\00:13:15.79
I'm going to write
this down in my journal.
00:13:15.82\00:13:17.36
Undisputed evidence
of transitional fossils
00:13:23.13\00:13:26.23
has never been found.
00:13:26.27\00:13:27.60
About 150 years ago,
00:13:30.64\00:13:32.61
Charles Darwin was
one of the first persons
00:13:32.64\00:13:35.11
to write about
this idea of evolution.
00:13:35.14\00:13:38.08
He wrote that the
fossils we find today
00:13:38.11\00:13:40.68
do not provide evidence
for transitional species
00:13:40.72\00:13:43.52
but hoped that
someday we would find those.
00:13:43.55\00:13:46.52
Over 150 years later,
00:13:46.55\00:13:48.66
and scientists
are still searching.
00:13:48.69\00:13:52.69
This really
bothered some evolutionists.
00:13:52.73\00:13:55.06
So not long ago,
00:13:55.10\00:13:56.43
they started coming up
with different explanations
00:13:56.46\00:13:58.43
for why we don't find
those transitional species.
00:13:58.47\00:14:01.84
They called their idea,
"punctuated equilibrium".
00:14:01.87\00:14:05.51
I know that's a tongue twister.
00:14:05.54\00:14:07.88
They figured, since we
can't find those fossils
00:14:07.91\00:14:10.38
showing those changes,
00:14:10.41\00:14:11.81
some large event
must have happened
00:14:11.85\00:14:13.75
and caused everything
to change all of a sudden,
00:14:13.78\00:14:15.98
but not all scientists agree.
00:14:16.02\00:14:19.12
There are many
other problems too.
00:14:19.15\00:14:21.46
For example,
trilobites are found
00:14:21.49\00:14:23.66
in the lowest layers
of the geologic column.
00:14:23.69\00:14:25.83
And they say they are examples
of simple marine creatures.
00:14:25.86\00:14:28.93
But the...
00:14:28.96\00:14:30.37
Actually, you know what?
00:14:30.40\00:14:31.87
There's a place not
too far from here in Utah
00:14:31.90\00:14:34.14
where we can actually
go and dig trilobites.
00:14:34.17\00:14:36.57
Why don't we go
there now? Come on.
00:14:36.60\00:14:37.94
Hi, everyone, Doc M
here at Headquarters.
00:14:45.85\00:14:49.78
Look what I have here.
00:14:49.82\00:14:51.15
A fossilized fish.
00:14:53.86\00:14:56.99
We find millions of
these all over the world.
00:14:57.03\00:14:59.63
How do they get
preserved so nicely?
00:14:59.66\00:15:03.26
I know the answer, Rapid burial.
00:15:03.30\00:15:07.04
You know a lot of scientists
00:15:07.07\00:15:08.40
look for fossils
to prove evolution.
00:15:08.44\00:15:10.27
They look for transitional
fossils, missing links.
00:15:10.31\00:15:14.54
Fossils that show
one type of creature
00:15:14.58\00:15:17.15
may have turned into
another kind of creature.
00:15:17.18\00:15:20.55
Something like in between
two creatures, for example,
00:15:20.58\00:15:24.12
something in
between fish and amphibians,
00:15:24.15\00:15:28.79
I've got a picture
for you, let's look.
00:15:28.82\00:15:32.23
A fish would evolve
through millions of steps
00:15:32.26\00:15:36.00
over millions of
years into an amphibian.
00:15:36.03\00:15:42.14
If some type of fish evolved
into some type of amphibian,
00:15:42.17\00:15:44.37
we should be
able to find at least
00:15:44.41\00:15:46.34
a few fossils of
the steps along the way
00:15:46.37\00:15:48.84
as the fish
evolved into the amphibian,
00:15:48.88\00:15:51.31
something again in between.
00:15:51.35\00:15:55.52
Let's look at it this way.
00:15:55.55\00:15:57.89
So the fish would
be our white blocks,
00:15:57.92\00:16:01.26
and we have amphibian.
00:16:01.29\00:16:02.96
We expect and we do find
00:16:02.99\00:16:04.79
both of these
creatures separate.
00:16:04.83\00:16:07.33
But we would also need
for the evolution process
00:16:07.36\00:16:10.00
to be confirmed
00:16:10.03\00:16:11.37
to find one with
three white and one red.
00:16:11.40\00:16:16.57
And then we would
find one that would be like
00:16:16.60\00:16:19.01
two red ones and two white ones.
00:16:19.04\00:16:21.38
Get a little more
in that direction.
00:16:21.41\00:16:23.38
And maybe we
would find one that had
00:16:23.41\00:16:25.75
three red ones
and one white one.
00:16:25.78\00:16:29.98
Eventually, of course,
00:16:30.02\00:16:31.35
we would find one
with all red ones.
00:16:31.39\00:16:35.12
But in real life, all those
in between steps don't exist.
00:16:35.16\00:16:39.39
All of them, we only find fish
00:16:39.43\00:16:43.83
and we find amphibians.
00:16:43.87\00:16:48.20
This is a simple example
of only fish and amphibians.
00:16:48.24\00:16:50.91
There are millions of
other types of creatures
00:16:50.94\00:16:52.87
out there.
00:16:52.91\00:16:54.24
The missing
links are, guess what?
00:16:54.28\00:16:59.21
Missing.
00:16:59.25\00:17:01.12
Some of the changes are huge too
00:17:01.15\00:17:03.18
but no fossil
evidence that has...
00:17:03.22\00:17:06.29
shows that's ever happened.
00:17:06.32\00:17:08.66
The Bible teaches us that
00:17:08.69\00:17:10.03
God created all the
creatures of the earth,
00:17:10.06\00:17:11.96
each one unique and different.
00:17:11.99\00:17:13.90
Yet again
00:17:13.93\00:17:15.80
this is why I
believe, God is my Creator.
00:17:15.83\00:17:19.53
Hey, everyone.
It's me, Rich Aguilera.
00:17:22.80\00:17:25.17
I'd love to see you at
one of our live events.
00:17:25.21\00:17:27.94
To see where I'll be
speaking, visit our website,
00:17:27.98\00:17:30.75
TheCreationCase.com.
00:17:30.78\00:17:32.91
During the flood,
00:17:39.39\00:17:40.72
the Bible tells us our
planet was covered with water.
00:17:40.76\00:17:43.73
As the waters
receded after the flood,
00:17:43.76\00:17:45.79
all this became a giant sea.
00:17:45.83\00:17:48.83
Eventually the sea
drained and dried up
00:17:48.86\00:17:51.23
and left behind some
pretty amazing landscapes
00:17:51.27\00:17:54.50
and a lot of fossils.
00:17:54.54\00:17:56.91
There's a place up
ahead you just have to see.
00:17:56.94\00:17:59.41
One thing for sure, Utah has
a lot of incredible landscapes.
00:18:02.51\00:18:06.61
Isn't this an amazing place?
00:18:10.65\00:18:12.69
We've got to stop and
go down and check this out.
00:18:12.72\00:18:14.99
What an unusual looking place.
00:18:18.39\00:18:21.20
The rocks here have
eroded in such a way
00:18:21.23\00:18:24.27
that many of them
look like giant mushrooms.
00:18:24.30\00:18:29.74
These odd
formations are called hoodoos.
00:18:29.77\00:18:32.97
Yes, that's a strange name.
00:18:33.01\00:18:35.01
No, I don't know
00:18:35.04\00:18:36.38
who's in charge
of making up names.
00:18:36.41\00:18:37.75
Canyons are always a great place
00:18:42.18\00:18:44.25
to see the layers of the earth.
00:18:44.29\00:18:45.79
Hey, even here, we get
to see layers of the earth.
00:18:48.89\00:18:52.59
The interesting
thing about this location
00:18:55.86\00:18:58.00
is that the rock
layers on the top are harder
00:18:58.03\00:19:00.94
than the rock
layers on the bottom.
00:19:00.97\00:19:04.11
Oh, here is a great view.
00:19:04.14\00:19:05.47
As you can see,
this bottom layer
00:19:12.81\00:19:15.68
has eroded much
faster than this top layer.
00:19:15.72\00:19:18.72
You can see it everywhere,
hard rock on the top,
00:19:18.75\00:19:21.86
soft rock on the bottom.
00:19:21.89\00:19:23.22
Just think, during the
flood all this was underwater.
00:19:28.16\00:19:33.23
Sure looks pretty neat now.
00:19:33.27\00:19:37.31
Wow, this is such a cool place.
00:19:37.34\00:19:39.64
I think I'm gonna sketch this,
00:19:39.67\00:19:41.01
but I think I need
to get a little higher.
00:19:41.04\00:19:43.65
I think I'm gonna
climb one of these hoodoos
00:19:43.68\00:19:45.68
and sketch in my journal.
00:19:45.71\00:19:47.05
All right, we need to
continue driving to Utah.
00:19:58.43\00:20:01.73
We're not too far away
00:20:01.76\00:20:03.10
from where we'll be
able to dig for trilobites.
00:20:03.13\00:20:05.03
Come on.
00:20:05.07\00:20:06.40
Since the Bible
teaches about a global flood,
00:20:19.15\00:20:21.38
it makes sense
00:20:21.42\00:20:22.75
to find marine fossils
very practically everywhere.
00:20:22.78\00:20:25.35
Even in places
like Michigan and Ohio,
00:20:25.39\00:20:27.59
which are very far
away from the ocean,
00:20:27.62\00:20:29.76
we find fossils
of marine animals
00:20:29.79\00:20:31.53
like whales, and
sharks, and walruses.
00:20:31.56\00:20:34.76
Here in this part of Utah,
00:20:34.80\00:20:36.63
one of the most
common marine fossils we find
00:20:36.67\00:20:38.97
are trilobites,
00:20:39.00\00:20:40.34
these little tiny
creatures that are now extinct.
00:20:40.37\00:20:44.74
Well, we made it here
to the trilobite dig site.
00:20:44.77\00:20:47.58
I got my bucket
and I got my hammer.
00:20:47.61\00:20:49.51
We're going to see if we
can dig up some trilobites.
00:20:49.54\00:20:51.48
Come on, let's go.
00:20:51.51\00:20:54.38
The stone here is shale.
00:20:54.42\00:20:56.65
So it's really
easy to split open
00:20:56.69\00:20:58.35
and look for trilobites.
00:20:58.39\00:21:01.92
This looks like a good spot.
00:21:01.96\00:21:04.86
You know, sadly,
extinction is quite common.
00:21:04.89\00:21:10.00
By looking at fossils
00:21:10.03\00:21:11.37
we can tell that many
different types of creatures
00:21:11.40\00:21:13.54
have lived and died in the past.
00:21:13.57\00:21:15.47
They are now found
buried in the ground
00:21:15.50\00:21:17.27
or in rocks like this.
00:21:17.31\00:21:19.47
This also fits the flood story
because the Bible says that
00:21:19.51\00:21:22.24
all the land
animals were wiped out,
00:21:22.28\00:21:24.91
except for the ones on the ark.
00:21:24.95\00:21:26.68
Fortunately God made each animal
00:21:30.45\00:21:32.82
with built-in
variety in its DNA.
00:21:32.85\00:21:35.76
Still, sometimes
creatures become extinct.
00:21:35.79\00:21:40.66
We also see that
in the fossil records,
00:21:40.70\00:21:42.63
animals that don't
exist anymore, all kinds,
00:21:42.66\00:21:45.27
birds, insects,
mammals, and reptiles.
00:21:45.30\00:21:47.67
Even dinosaurs are
just kinds of reptiles
00:21:51.67\00:21:54.01
that are now extinct.
00:21:54.04\00:21:57.31
Evolution has been teaching
that over millions of years
00:21:57.35\00:22:00.05
one type of creature has
been changing to another.
00:22:00.08\00:22:03.69
If these
changes really happened,
00:22:03.72\00:22:05.35
we should clearly see
it in the fossil record
00:22:05.39\00:22:07.82
but we don't.
00:22:07.86\00:22:09.96
The fossil record
does not show one thing,
00:22:09.99\00:22:13.73
changing into the other.
00:22:13.76\00:22:17.63
Check it out, we found one.
00:22:17.67\00:22:19.00
It's amazing.
00:22:23.44\00:22:24.77
It's been buried
here for over 4,000 years.
00:22:24.81\00:22:27.44
And you and I are
the first ones to see it.
00:22:27.48\00:22:31.45
Trilobites are found
00:22:31.48\00:22:32.81
in one of the lowest
layers called the cambium layer.
00:22:32.85\00:22:36.28
Think I'm gonna dig here.
00:22:36.32\00:22:39.99
Evolution teaches that
00:22:40.02\00:22:41.36
since they're found
in the lowest layers,
00:22:41.39\00:22:43.06
they were some of the first
and simplest ones to evolve.
00:22:43.09\00:22:48.26
The problem is,
they're not simple at all.
00:22:48.30\00:22:50.53
They're actually highly
complex little creatures.
00:22:50.57\00:22:54.80
They have compound
eyes and hundreds of lenses,
00:22:54.84\00:22:57.84
antennas, complex organs,
gills and several sets of limbs.
00:22:57.87\00:23:02.31
Whoo, this is a good
spot, found a big one.
00:23:05.55\00:23:10.09
Now we need to carefully
chip away the rock around it.
00:23:10.12\00:23:13.42
Evolution requires
00:23:19.63\00:23:21.10
that life had to
start with something simple.
00:23:21.13\00:23:24.20
But this is not it.
00:23:24.23\00:23:26.43
These are simply.
some of the first creatures
00:23:26.47\00:23:28.77
that got buried alive
at the time of the flood.
00:23:28.80\00:23:32.61
You know what?
00:23:32.64\00:23:33.98
I'm gonna write
that in my journal.
00:23:34.01\00:23:35.34
Trilobites were some
of the first creatures
00:23:40.18\00:23:42.62
buried during the flood.
00:23:42.65\00:23:46.39
Let's keep looking
for more trilobites.
00:23:46.42\00:23:48.29
This is a lot of fun.
00:23:48.32\00:23:51.36
You know, every once in a while,
00:23:51.39\00:23:53.33
evolutionists come
forward with a new fossil,
00:23:53.36\00:23:56.36
claiming that it's
proof of evolution.
00:23:56.40\00:23:58.53
They claim that the fossil
is an in-between form of life,
00:23:58.57\00:24:02.07
a transitional species between
one creature and another.
00:24:02.10\00:24:06.37
Not long ago scientists
discovered a fossil of the fish
00:24:06.41\00:24:09.84
call the coelacanth.
00:24:09.88\00:24:12.35
Secular
scientists used to think.
00:24:12.38\00:24:14.82
They became extinct
about 60 million years ago,
00:24:14.85\00:24:17.39
and we're never seen
again in the higher layers.
00:24:17.42\00:24:19.35
Since the
coelacanth was never seen again
00:24:22.56\00:24:24.63
in the fossil record,
00:24:24.66\00:24:25.99
they assumed that
it must have evolved
00:24:26.03\00:24:27.80
into animals with four legs.
00:24:27.83\00:24:30.43
Actually, I have a picture
of a coelacanth fossil here
00:24:30.47\00:24:33.30
on my phone.
00:24:33.34\00:24:34.67
Well, guess what?
00:24:37.37\00:24:38.71
They never became
extinct after all.
00:24:38.74\00:24:41.31
Living coelacanths are
now photographed all the time,
00:24:41.34\00:24:44.75
here's one.
00:24:44.78\00:24:46.98
Just because they didn't find
the coelacanth in the fossils
00:24:47.02\00:24:49.58
for 60 million evolution years,
00:24:49.62\00:24:51.55
it doesn't mean
they ever evolved.
00:24:51.59\00:24:54.09
They never became
extinct and they never evolved.
00:24:54.12\00:24:57.23
They're still the same.
00:24:57.26\00:25:00.13
Remember, in the beginning,
God created the animal kinds.
00:25:00.16\00:25:04.43
It's that simple.
00:25:04.47\00:25:05.80
That was fun.
00:25:16.11\00:25:17.75
It's truly
amazing uncovering things
00:25:17.78\00:25:20.22
that have been
buried since the flood,
00:25:20.25\00:25:23.45
things that no other
human life has ever seen before.
00:25:23.49\00:25:28.06
It's incredible to think just
00:25:28.09\00:25:29.42
how much stuff is
buried all over our planet.
00:25:29.46\00:25:33.26
We've discovered a lot of things
00:25:33.29\00:25:34.73
but in reality, it's a mystery
00:25:34.76\00:25:37.67
just how much stuff
is buried and fossilized
00:25:37.70\00:25:41.24
right under our feet.
00:25:41.27\00:25:43.44
Well, I need to
finish up my report
00:25:43.47\00:25:45.74
and send it to HQ.
00:25:45.77\00:25:47.44
Remember, if
you want to read it,
00:25:47.48\00:25:49.18
just go to our website.
00:25:49.21\00:25:52.81
The fossils we find
00:25:52.85\00:25:54.22
don't prove
creatures ever changed
00:25:54.25\00:25:56.05
from one type of
creature to another.
00:25:56.08\00:25:58.22
Sometimes
00:25:58.25\00:25:59.59
creatures that supposedly
evolved into other creatures
00:25:59.62\00:26:02.32
and became extinct
00:26:02.36\00:26:03.69
are still found alive unchanged.
00:26:03.73\00:26:07.50
There's more proof
00:26:07.53\00:26:09.36
of these in-between
transitional fossils
00:26:09.40\00:26:12.17
have never been found.
00:26:12.20\00:26:16.27
Trilobites were
not simple creatures.
00:26:16.30\00:26:18.71
They were highly complex,
and they were created by God.
00:26:18.74\00:26:22.48
You know, there are a lot
of mysteries in this world.
00:26:28.05\00:26:31.32
Many things we
will never understand.
00:26:31.35\00:26:34.29
God is one of them.
00:26:34.32\00:26:36.19
There's no way we
can grasp who He is.
00:26:36.22\00:26:40.43
To be able to
create by just speaking,
00:26:40.46\00:26:43.77
to be someone
00:26:43.80\00:26:45.13
that has no
beginning and no end.
00:26:45.17\00:26:48.40
To have so much love for us
00:26:48.44\00:26:50.47
that He would send
His precious Son to die
00:26:50.51\00:26:53.64
so that we could be saved.
00:26:53.68\00:26:55.98
Wow.
00:26:56.01\00:26:57.35
Still, we should do everything
we can to look for clues,
00:26:57.38\00:27:01.78
so that we can understand
our Creator better and better.
00:27:01.82\00:27:06.15
The more clues we find,
00:27:06.19\00:27:08.09
the more we'll understand Him.
00:27:08.12\00:27:10.86
Where do we find these clues?
00:27:10.89\00:27:13.40
The two best
places are in the Bible,
00:27:13.43\00:27:16.26
the special book,
00:27:16.30\00:27:17.73
and right here in nature.
00:27:17.77\00:27:20.37
This is His own
hand at work, creating.
00:27:20.40\00:27:26.27
I hope you will join me
again for our next assignment.
00:27:26.31\00:27:29.61
Remember, God the
Creator loves what He creates,
00:27:29.64\00:27:33.38
especially you.
00:27:33.42\00:27:35.05
Goodnight.
00:27:35.08\00:27:36.42
Wait, don't go
yet. We've got bloopers.
00:27:52.27\00:27:54.50
Other types of...
00:27:58.44\00:28:00.28
See what can never appear to...
00:28:03.41\00:28:05.05
Appear at the end
of the fossil record.
00:28:05.08\00:28:07.28
You know, it's...
00:28:07.32\00:28:10.19
All right.
00:28:10.22\00:28:11.55
Where was I?
00:28:11.59\00:28:12.92
Museums and fossils teach...
00:28:12.95\00:28:16.16
It provides archaeologists...
00:28:16.19\00:28:19.89
I hope you
weren't waiting just...
00:28:19.93\00:28:22.86
Fossil squirrels.
00:28:22.90\00:28:24.23
