Welcome to The Creator Revealed.
00:00:31.39\00:00:34.16
My name is Tim
Standish and I'm a scientist,
00:00:34.20\00:00:37.53
that means that
sometimes I speak a language
00:00:37.57\00:00:40.37
that doesn't
really sound like English.
00:00:40.40\00:00:44.14
So thankfully,
00:00:44.17\00:00:45.64
I have here with
me Shelley Quinn,
00:00:45.67\00:00:48.08
who is going to help me stick.
00:00:48.11\00:00:49.44
Keep you on the straight line.
00:00:49.48\00:00:50.81
Will stick to English...
00:00:50.85\00:00:52.18
Yes, please.
00:00:52.21\00:00:53.55
In this fabulous program
00:00:53.58\00:00:55.58
in which we are
going to talk about
00:00:55.62\00:00:58.52
what the creation
tells us about the Creator.
00:00:58.55\00:01:03.36
You know, we're so
excited about this, Tim,
00:01:03.39\00:01:05.09
because first of
all, we wanna thank
00:01:05.13\00:01:07.03
The Geoscience
Research Institute
00:01:07.06\00:01:09.80
who has allowed him
this time off to come
00:01:09.83\00:01:13.23
and produce this series.
00:01:13.27\00:01:14.97
And we're very excited
00:01:15.00\00:01:17.67
because Creation
Science is something
00:01:17.71\00:01:20.78
that is doubted by many,
00:01:20.81\00:01:23.55
it to me...
00:01:23.58\00:01:25.15
It's, there's so much
proof that God is with us that,
00:01:25.18\00:01:29.38
God created us.
00:01:29.42\00:01:30.99
And that's what
we're going to do here.
00:01:31.02\00:01:32.45
Now, the first 15
minutes of this program,
00:01:32.49\00:01:35.99
you're gonna get
introduced to a scientific fact.
00:01:36.02\00:01:38.89
The second 15
minutes of the program,
00:01:38.93\00:01:41.96
we're going to tie that in
00:01:42.00\00:01:44.37
as to how it affects
you in a personal way
00:01:44.40\00:01:48.67
and how you can put it
into a practical application.
00:01:48.70\00:01:53.17
I'm looking
forward to that part.
00:01:53.21\00:01:54.54
Yes.
00:01:54.58\00:01:55.91
But of course, as a scientist,
what I want to do is dive in
00:01:55.94\00:01:58.25
to what we are
going to talk about,
00:01:58.28\00:02:00.95
and I want to just prefix
00:02:00.98\00:02:04.02
our discussion of the
science with something
00:02:04.05\00:02:07.56
that the Apostle Paul
wrote almost 2000 years ago.
00:02:07.59\00:02:11.19
It may seem like an
unlikely thing to choose.
00:02:11.23\00:02:14.63
But remember
that Paul was writing
00:02:14.66\00:02:18.73
to all kinds of different people
00:02:18.77\00:02:21.17
back there in the Roman Empire.
00:02:21.20\00:02:23.14
In this letter to the Romans,
he wrote these words, he said,
00:02:23.17\00:02:28.71
"For since the
creation of the world
00:02:28.74\00:02:32.01
His invisible attributes,"
00:02:32.05\00:02:34.18
this is God's
invisible attributes
00:02:34.22\00:02:36.75
"are clearly seen,
00:02:36.79\00:02:38.85
being understood by
the things that are made,
00:02:38.89\00:02:43.12
even His eternal
power and Godhead,
00:02:43.16\00:02:46.49
so that they
are without excuse."
00:02:46.53\00:02:49.70
What he is saying here
00:02:49.73\00:02:51.83
is that we just
as the Romans could,
00:02:51.87\00:02:55.70
can look at what God made
00:02:55.74\00:02:58.37
and we can learn certain
things about the Creator.
00:02:58.41\00:03:02.31
In other words, the
creation reveals the Creator.
00:03:02.34\00:03:07.12
So what is the thing
we're going to learn today?
00:03:07.15\00:03:11.19
Well, we're going to
learn about machines,
00:03:11.22\00:03:14.32
but not the large machines that
you're used to thinking about,
00:03:14.36\00:03:18.99
things like cars
and tractors and cranes,
00:03:19.03\00:03:22.33
and those sorts of machines.
00:03:22.36\00:03:24.47
These machines
operate on exactly
00:03:24.50\00:03:27.47
the same physical principles,
but they are microscopic.
00:03:27.50\00:03:31.61
In fact, they're
smaller than you can see
00:03:31.64\00:03:33.98
with a normal microscope.
00:03:34.01\00:03:36.01
They are molecular machines,
they're made up of molecules.
00:03:36.04\00:03:40.58
But first we need to understand
why living things need
00:03:40.62\00:03:47.36
these little
tiny machines inside.
00:03:47.39\00:03:50.83
So let's sort of step back
and think about how life works
00:03:50.86\00:03:55.50
and we all know
00:03:55.53\00:03:56.87
that the sun shines
and that's sunshine,
00:03:56.90\00:04:00.37
that light that comes
down is a form of energy.
00:04:00.40\00:04:04.11
And that light
energy is what plants use
00:04:04.14\00:04:08.54
so that they can grow, right?
00:04:08.58\00:04:10.45
Is that photosynthesis?
00:04:10.48\00:04:11.81
Photosynthesis, right.
00:04:11.85\00:04:13.58
And so in this amazing
process of photosynthesis,
00:04:13.62\00:04:18.62
there are all these
machines, little tiny machines
00:04:18.65\00:04:21.89
that are taking
energy in the form of light
00:04:21.92\00:04:25.66
and converting it
00:04:25.69\00:04:27.03
into another form
into chemical energy.
00:04:27.06\00:04:30.73
That's what machines do.
00:04:30.77\00:04:32.20
They convert energy from
one form into another form
00:04:32.23\00:04:37.17
and by doing that they do work.
00:04:37.21\00:04:39.91
All right, but if
that same light source
00:04:39.94\00:04:44.11
is shining on an
inanimate or an object
00:04:44.15\00:04:49.05
that is not alive, like asphalt,
00:04:49.08\00:04:52.29
it's not producing anything.
00:04:52.32\00:04:53.66
Yeah, exactly.
00:04:53.69\00:04:55.02
Most people who drive
have probably noticed that
00:04:55.06\00:04:57.29
the roads do not
grow and repair themselves
00:04:57.33\00:04:59.79
when the sun is out.
00:04:59.83\00:05:01.23
That's not what happens
00:05:01.26\00:05:02.60
because roads
are not living things
00:05:02.63\00:05:04.87
and living things
00:05:04.90\00:05:06.23
are distinctly
different, in part
00:05:06.27\00:05:08.70
because they have these
little machines in there
00:05:08.74\00:05:12.34
that are doing this work
00:05:12.37\00:05:13.98
that are converting energy
from one form into another.
00:05:14.01\00:05:18.45
All right.
00:05:18.48\00:05:19.81
All right, so that's
what we're talking about here.
00:05:19.85\00:05:23.72
Now the parts of machines
that the molecular machines,
00:05:23.75\00:05:27.22
these little tiny machines
00:05:27.26\00:05:28.89
that the parts are made
out of, primarily protein.
00:05:28.92\00:05:32.83
Most people know what that is.
00:05:32.86\00:05:34.26
So there's a question,
00:05:34.30\00:05:35.63
where did that
protein come from?
00:05:35.66\00:05:38.17
Charles Darwin had
a theory about that.
00:05:38.20\00:05:40.94
Now, remember Charles
Darwin, he's a materialist.
00:05:40.97\00:05:43.87
So he's trying to figure out
how can we do this without God?
00:05:43.91\00:05:46.78
And he wrote this to a friend,
00:05:46.81\00:05:48.51
he said, "If and
oh, what a big if,
00:05:48.54\00:05:51.31
we could conceive in
some warm little pond
00:05:51.35\00:05:54.68
with all sorts of
ammonia and phosphoric salts,
00:05:54.72\00:05:58.92
light, heat,
electricity, etc., present,
00:05:58.95\00:06:02.49
that a protein
compound was chemically formed,"
00:06:02.52\00:06:06.16
so not by God but
by chemical formation,
00:06:06.19\00:06:10.07
"ready to undergo still
more complex changes..."
00:06:10.10\00:06:15.87
So he's saying, hey,
maybe we can get proteins
00:06:15.90\00:06:18.27
in a warm little pond
that was full of chemicals
00:06:18.31\00:06:22.34
but there's a problem with that,
00:06:22.38\00:06:24.61
and you have to understand
00:06:24.65\00:06:26.41
how these
protein parts are made.
00:06:26.45\00:06:29.62
So let's take a
quick look at that.
00:06:29.65\00:06:31.05
Okay. Okay.
00:06:31.09\00:06:32.42
So proteins,
they're made out of things
00:06:32.45\00:06:34.96
called amino acids
00:06:34.99\00:06:36.96
and those amino acids
can be joined together
00:06:36.99\00:06:39.36
by removing a water molecule
00:06:39.39\00:06:43.13
and you can just join them
together one after the other.
00:06:43.16\00:06:46.50
Usually proteins
00:06:46.53\00:06:47.87
will be hundreds of
these amino acids long
00:06:47.90\00:06:51.14
and each one of
them is joined together
00:06:51.17\00:06:53.54
by removing a water molecule.
00:06:53.58\00:06:56.71
So you don't have to...
00:06:56.75\00:06:58.11
Yeah, you don't
have to be an expert.
00:06:58.15\00:06:59.48
I can get this. Yes.
00:06:59.51\00:07:01.42
What's gonna happen?
00:07:01.45\00:07:02.78
So it's not gonna have,
00:07:02.82\00:07:04.15
proteins are not
going to be developed
00:07:04.19\00:07:06.05
according to Darwin's
theory in a warm little pond,
00:07:06.09\00:07:09.49
because if you were
trying to process in a pond,
00:07:09.52\00:07:12.83
it's going to add
H2O elements, not.
00:07:12.86\00:07:18.70
Exactly,
00:07:18.73\00:07:20.24
water is so important, right?
00:07:20.27\00:07:21.60
Right.
00:07:21.64\00:07:22.97
So water is going to go
into things, not come out.
00:07:23.00\00:07:25.87
So how is it then
that in living cells,
00:07:25.91\00:07:30.38
they can make
proteins because remember,
00:07:30.41\00:07:33.42
our bodies, those cells
that our body is made up of,
00:07:33.45\00:07:37.02
they're more than 50% water.
00:07:37.05\00:07:39.79
So how is it that this happens?
00:07:39.82\00:07:42.32
And the secret is,
again, in machines.
00:07:42.36\00:07:45.49
There are machines
that take the amino acids
00:07:45.53\00:07:50.93
and bring them together
and remove that water molecule.
00:07:50.97\00:07:54.87
They use energy to do that work.
00:07:54.90\00:07:57.77
Okay.
00:07:57.81\00:07:59.14
Okay, there's a lot of
power involved in all of this.
00:07:59.17\00:08:02.84
So think about
the irony of that.
00:08:02.88\00:08:04.81
Yes.
00:08:04.85\00:08:06.18
You got to have the
machines to make the proteins
00:08:06.21\00:08:09.55
from which the
machines are made.
00:08:09.58\00:08:11.55
Okay.
00:08:11.59\00:08:12.92
It's like a
chicken and egg situation,
00:08:12.95\00:08:14.29
you got to have the
whole system functioning
00:08:14.32\00:08:16.32
before you can have
any of it functioning.
00:08:16.36\00:08:18.86
Oh, boy, that statement that,
00:08:18.89\00:08:21.60
to me really supports an
intelligent Creator or God.
00:08:21.63\00:08:26.77
Oh, my yes, you know.
00:08:26.80\00:08:28.57
So let's, let's continue on.
00:08:28.60\00:08:30.81
I'm gonna show
you a protein machine
00:08:30.84\00:08:32.57
one of these machines,
00:08:32.61\00:08:33.94
and this particular
machine is like a wind turbine,
00:08:33.98\00:08:37.28
the exactly the same
principles are involved.
00:08:37.31\00:08:41.42
So on a wind
turbine that wind energy is,
00:08:41.45\00:08:45.62
it starts the turbine turning
00:08:45.65\00:08:49.76
and that energy is transferred
them to a generator, right?
00:08:49.79\00:08:53.43
So the wind
energy is then converted
00:08:53.46\00:08:55.60
into electrical energy.
00:08:55.63\00:08:57.60
That's how it works.
00:08:57.63\00:08:58.97
The same principles
are involved in this
00:08:59.00\00:09:01.84
fabulous little
tiny microscopic,
00:09:01.87\00:09:05.64
submicroscopic
machine called ATP Synthase.
00:09:05.67\00:09:10.18
It generates energy,
00:09:10.21\00:09:11.88
it provides power to your cells.
00:09:11.91\00:09:16.12
So that part there
that you can see at the top,
00:09:16.15\00:09:18.35
the blue part is
like the turbine.
00:09:18.39\00:09:21.16
It twists things
around and down at the bottom,
00:09:21.19\00:09:24.83
the red part is
the generator part.
00:09:24.86\00:09:27.16
It makes this
substance called ATP.
00:09:27.20\00:09:31.30
And you can see
00:09:31.33\00:09:32.67
that they're joined by a protein
00:09:32.70\00:09:34.07
that transfers
that twisting energy,
00:09:34.10\00:09:36.94
a drive shaft.
00:09:36.97\00:09:38.31
Okay. Protein.
00:09:38.34\00:09:39.74
So without the protein,
00:09:39.77\00:09:43.01
nothing would be happening.
00:09:43.04\00:09:44.38
Exactly, you'd have
a generator or sorry,
00:09:44.41\00:09:46.98
a turbine spinning
around doing nothing
00:09:47.02\00:09:49.18
and the generator
sitting there doing nothing
00:09:49.22\00:09:51.45
without that drive shaft
00:09:51.49\00:09:53.42
protein joining the
two things together.
00:09:53.46\00:09:56.16
Is it fair to say a protein
00:09:56.19\00:09:57.66
in as a building block
for at the cellular level?
00:09:57.69\00:10:01.26
Yes. Oh, yes, yeah.
00:10:01.30\00:10:03.03
They are the very
parts of these machines
00:10:03.06\00:10:06.23
are made out of and if you're
missing some of the parts,
00:10:06.27\00:10:08.57
the machine isn't
going to function at all.
00:10:08.60\00:10:10.81
It certainly,
00:10:10.84\00:10:12.17
all of these machines
require a set of parts.
00:10:12.21\00:10:14.58
So one protein isn't
going to do much for you,
00:10:14.61\00:10:17.21
you've got to have a whole lot.
00:10:17.25\00:10:18.58
Here's another machine
that's also involved in
00:10:18.61\00:10:21.05
what we call the
energy metabolism of the cell.
00:10:21.08\00:10:23.35
Let's not worry.
00:10:23.39\00:10:24.72
So this is a little
bitty microscopic thing
00:10:24.75\00:10:26.52
we just looked at.
00:10:26.55\00:10:27.89
Yeah, this is just
another way of showing
00:10:27.92\00:10:30.23
what these machines look like.
00:10:30.26\00:10:32.73
And the different colors
are different proteins there.
00:10:32.76\00:10:35.20
How amazing.
00:10:35.23\00:10:37.73
Really a complicated thing,
the reason I wanted you to see
00:10:37.77\00:10:40.84
that particular one
00:10:40.87\00:10:42.70
is because it's
part of something
00:10:42.74\00:10:44.17
we call the glycolytic pathway,
00:10:44.21\00:10:46.61
that means sugar
splitting pathway.
00:10:46.64\00:10:50.51
This is 10 different machines
that are equally complex,
00:10:50.55\00:10:56.28
sometimes more
complex than that one
00:10:56.32\00:10:57.92
that I just showed you
00:10:57.95\00:10:59.62
and each one of
them has to do their job
00:10:59.65\00:11:03.73
because if they don't,
00:11:03.76\00:11:05.23
you've got a big
problem on your head,
00:11:05.26\00:11:07.26
you're turning sugar,
in this particular case,
00:11:07.30\00:11:09.60
into another
chemical cold Pyruvate
00:11:09.63\00:11:12.23
and you're getting
energy out of the sugar.
00:11:12.27\00:11:15.37
The problem is,
00:11:15.40\00:11:16.74
you've got to put
energy in the beginning,
00:11:16.77\00:11:18.57
this is like lighting
a match to start a fire,
00:11:18.61\00:11:21.51
you're putting a
little bit of energy in.
00:11:21.54\00:11:23.81
And it's not until
later on in this process
00:11:23.85\00:11:27.15
that you start
getting out chemicals
00:11:27.18\00:11:28.92
that are actually
useful for energy.
00:11:28.95\00:11:31.72
So that protein
00:11:31.75\00:11:33.89
so that you know that
protein is that step number six
00:11:33.92\00:11:38.23
in this series of steps
00:11:38.26\00:11:43.47
in this assembly line.
00:11:43.50\00:11:45.40
If you want to call,
it's a de-assembly line.
00:11:45.43\00:11:47.17
So splitting the sugar
is what gives us the energy
00:11:47.20\00:11:50.31
and if any one of
these steps is missing,
00:11:50.34\00:11:53.04
it's not gonna happen.
00:11:53.07\00:11:54.41
And every single living things
00:11:54.44\00:11:56.64
has this whole pathway in there.
00:11:56.68\00:11:59.25
It's not just
one or two machines,
00:11:59.28\00:12:01.28
it's a whole set of
machines working together.
00:12:01.32\00:12:05.29
In every little cell.
00:12:05.32\00:12:06.76
In every single human
cell, in every single rat cell,
00:12:06.79\00:12:11.63
in every single fish cell,
in every single bacterial cell,
00:12:11.66\00:12:15.80
every single plant cell.
00:12:15.83\00:12:17.17
That's amazing.
00:12:17.20\00:12:18.53
Yeah, it's jaw dropping,
when you think about it.
00:12:18.57\00:12:22.24
Okay.
00:12:22.27\00:12:23.61
So what can we learn from this?
00:12:23.64\00:12:26.57
What does this tell
us about the Creator?
00:12:26.61\00:12:30.11
Well, remember what
Paul said about power,
00:12:30.15\00:12:36.05
God's eternal power.
00:12:36.08\00:12:38.19
I would suggest that
there are two things.
00:12:38.22\00:12:42.06
First of all,
"God's power is revealed
00:12:42.09\00:12:45.69
in the numerous
machines He created
00:12:45.73\00:12:50.07
so that life can exist."
00:12:50.10\00:12:52.17
In addition, "His
power to create and sustain
00:12:52.20\00:12:57.47
is revealed in the
intricate mechanisms
00:12:57.51\00:13:00.88
hidden within living things."
00:13:00.91\00:13:02.98
So these are invisible to us.
00:13:03.01\00:13:05.81
And yet when we dig down,
when we zoom in, and look,
00:13:05.85\00:13:10.52
there they are, and they tell us
00:13:10.55\00:13:13.09
something profound
about the Creator's power.
00:13:13.12\00:13:17.76
That is astonishing.
00:13:17.79\00:13:20.33
I think, I want to just think
about for a moment how God...
00:13:20.36\00:13:26.90
The Bible says,
00:13:26.94\00:13:28.27
"We are fearfully
and wonderfully made,"
00:13:28.30\00:13:30.11
and how amazing it is
00:13:30.14\00:13:32.51
that all of this is going
on in every cell of our body.
00:13:32.54\00:13:36.75
Think about how amazing it is
00:13:36.78\00:13:38.65
that we're as healthy as we are,
00:13:38.68\00:13:40.72
when there is so many
things that could go wrong.
00:13:40.75\00:13:42.85
It's a miracle, isn't it?
00:13:42.88\00:13:44.22
It is.
00:13:44.25\00:13:45.59
And we're going to
talk a little bit more
00:13:45.62\00:13:46.96
about this miracle,
00:13:46.99\00:13:48.39
but we're going to do
it 60 seconds from now.
00:13:48.42\00:13:51.53
So please do not go away.
00:13:51.56\00:13:53.23
