Hello. My name is
Eric Garloff, a teacher
00:00:21.54\00:00:24.01
once asked her
students to make a list of what
00:00:24.04\00:00:26.73
they thought
were the seven wonders
00:00:26.76\00:00:28.19
of the world.
They listed things like
00:00:28.22\00:00:30.34
Chichen Itza in
Mexico, the Taj Mahal in India,
00:00:30.37\00:00:34.21
the Grand Canyon
in the United States,
00:00:34.67\00:00:36.67
Petra in Jordan, the
Roman Colosseum in Italy,
00:00:37.23\00:00:40.41
the Great Wall of China,
and Machu Picchu in Peru.
00:00:40.44\00:00:44.48
When collecting the
papers, however, the
00:00:45.16\00:00:47.14
teacher noticed that
one student seemed to be
00:00:47.17\00:00:48.78
having some
difficulty. When she questioned
00:00:48.81\00:00:51.29
the student. She
said that she didn't know
00:00:51.32\00:00:52.60
which to pick
because there were so many.
00:00:52.63\00:00:54.51
The teacher replied
why don't you read to us
00:00:55.35\00:00:57.73
what you have so far
and we will see if we can
00:00:57.76\00:00:59.97
help you with your
list. Her seven wonders
00:01:00.00\00:01:02.80
were to see the beauty
of creation, to hear the
00:01:02.83\00:01:06.88
sounds of nature, to
feel the deepest emotions,
00:01:06.91\00:01:10.73
to touch and hold
the baby, to taste the
00:01:11.49\00:01:14.08
sweetness of fruit,
to love one another,
00:01:14.11\00:01:16.74
but the greatest
wonder she said was God
00:01:17.35\00:01:19.84
sending his only son
to die for us that we
00:01:19.87\00:01:22.28
might live with
him. When she finished
00:01:22.31\00:01:24.55
the room was so quite,
she could hear a pin drop.
00:01:24.58\00:01:26.98
She went on to
say the most important
00:01:28.39\00:01:30.22
wonders in the world
are not built by man nor
00:01:30.25\00:01:33.52
are they purchased with money.
00:01:33.55\00:01:34.85
The most
important wonders are the
00:01:35.54\00:01:36.91
gifts of God. You
know, friend this young girl
00:01:36.94\00:01:40.01
had it right, all
the other students were
00:01:40.04\00:01:42.37
looking at what man
had built or in the case of
00:01:42.40\00:01:45.11
the Grand Canyon
a natural formation,
00:01:45.23\00:01:47.06
but this girl saw
the greatest wonder
00:01:47.83\00:01:49.96
in the gift of Jesus,
who came to this earth
00:01:50.33\00:01:52.68
in order to bring
new life to mankind.
00:01:52.71\00:01:54.84
Let's go right into
our topic now. Title,
00:01:55.79\00:01:57.65
Building Blocks
of Creation. First,
00:01:57.68\00:02:00.78
we will take a
look at some of the
00:02:00.81\00:02:01.94
definitions,
which describe the basic
00:02:01.97\00:02:04.11
materials used by
God in the creation of
00:02:04.14\00:02:06.72
matter in life. The
atom is the smallest unit
00:02:06.75\00:02:10.10
of an element,
which retains the chemical
00:02:10.13\00:02:13.00
properties of that element.
00:02:13.03\00:02:14.38
When two or more
atoms combine in the
00:02:15.32\00:02:17.40
definite
arrangement and/or held together
00:02:17.43\00:02:19.99
by chemical bonds
they form Molecules.
00:02:20.02\00:02:22.22
When molecules
combine in specific
00:02:23.30\00:02:25.32
bonded patterns
they form Amino Acids.
00:02:25.35\00:02:28.53
When Amino Acids
combine in specific
00:02:29.05\00:02:31.02
patterns they form
proteins, which are
00:02:31.05\00:02:34.46
essential parts
of organisms that
00:02:34.49\00:02:36.68
participate in every
process within living cells.
00:02:36.71\00:02:40.34
Atoms once again
are the basic unit of
00:02:41.15\00:02:43.08
matter. Atoms
combine to form molecules.
00:02:43.11\00:02:45.39
Molecules combine
to form Amino Acids
00:02:45.42\00:02:47.77
and Amino Acids
combine to form proteins.
00:02:47.80\00:02:50.11
So, then you might
ask yourself what's the
00:02:51.02\00:02:53.22
probability of a
single protein forming all
00:02:53.25\00:02:55.85
by itself by random chance.
00:02:55.88\00:02:57.53
Before I answer
that, I first like to share
00:02:58.46\00:03:00.68
with you what
many consider to be the
00:03:00.71\00:03:02.57
point of
impossibility within the realm
00:03:02.60\00:03:05.23
of probability.
Concerning probability
00:03:05.26\00:03:08.38
many people
consider anything beyond 10
00:03:08.41\00:03:10.97
to the 50th power as
an impossibility that's
00:03:11.00\00:03:14.29
a 1 followed by 50
zero's. Let's take a
00:03:14.32\00:03:18.08
closure look at
this number putting that
00:03:18.11\00:03:19.95
into perspective.
Ten to the third power
00:03:20.04\00:03:23.49
is 1000, ten to the
6th power is 1 million,
00:03:23.52\00:03:26.92
ten to the 9th power
is 1 billion, ten to the
00:03:27.46\00:03:29.88
12th power is 1
trillion, jumping down
00:03:29.91\00:03:32.44
now to the bottom
of this chart you will
00:03:32.47\00:03:34.35
see that ten to
the 48th power is 1
00:03:34.38\00:03:36.63
quindecillion.
Therefore ten to the power
00:03:36.66\00:03:40.07
of 50 is 100 quindecillion.
00:03:40.10\00:03:42.96
Now, remember it
takes atoms, molecules,
00:03:43.44\00:03:46.12
and amino acids in
specific patterns to
00:03:46.15\00:03:48.90
form proteins. The
law of probability for
00:03:48.93\00:03:52.16
the self formation of
a single protein is 10
00:03:52.19\00:03:55.26
to the 191st
power. This shows us how
00:03:55.29\00:03:58.35
utterly impossible
it would be for proteins
00:03:58.38\00:04:00.64
to form by themselves.
10 to the 191st power
00:04:00.67\00:04:04.19
equals to 10 to
the 50th power plus
00:04:04.22\00:04:06.06
another 141 zero's
that's an awfully big
00:04:06.09\00:04:09.61
number, which demonstrates how
00:04:09.64\00:04:11.39
ridiculous it is to
believe that proteins
00:04:11.42\00:04:13.79
could form by random chance.
00:04:13.82\00:04:15.33
The complexity of
protein structures
00:04:15.98\00:04:17.93
indicates they
had to have a creator.
00:04:17.96\00:04:20.34
A quote from
Evolution in Crisis 1985
00:04:21.11\00:04:23.88
page 289-291 by
Michael Denson states
00:04:23.91\00:04:26.83
"the really
significant finding that comes
00:04:27.21\00:04:28.96
to light from
comparing the proteins,
00:04:28.99\00:04:30.89
amino acid sequences
is that it is impossible
00:04:30.92\00:04:34.28
to arrange them in
any sort of evolutionary
00:04:34.31\00:04:36.56
series. There was
little doubt that if this
00:04:36.59\00:04:39.08
molecular evidence
had been available a
00:04:39.11\00:04:41.28
century ago that
the idea of organic
00:04:41.31\00:04:43.97
evolution might never have been
00:04:44.00\00:04:45.64
accepted". Atoms,
molecules, amino acids,
00:04:45.67\00:04:49.44
and proteins are
the building blocks of
00:04:49.47\00:04:52.01
God's creation. All
these were created by
00:04:52.04\00:04:54.56
him and through
him they combine to
00:04:54.59\00:04:57.09
produce life. For
by him were all things
00:04:57.12\00:04:59.92
created that are in
heaven and that are in
00:04:59.95\00:05:01.81
earth visible and
invisible and by him all
00:05:01.84\00:05:04.99
things consist.
Evolution has claimed that
00:05:05.02\00:05:08.45
because monkeys are
similar to us that this
00:05:08.48\00:05:10.69
is somehow proof
that we evolved from
00:05:10.72\00:05:12.55
them. However,
similarity does not
00:05:12.58\00:05:14.81
relationship, if
similarity did prove
00:05:14.84\00:05:17.53
relationship then
please tell me. Since a
00:05:17.56\00:05:20.16
housefly and a
tomato both have 12
00:05:20.19\00:05:22.32
chromosomes,
what's their relationship?
00:05:22.35\00:05:24.48
Did the fly evolve
from the tomato or did
00:05:24.93\00:05:27.09
the tomato evolve from the fly.
00:05:27.12\00:05:28.63
If similarity
proves relationship.
00:05:29.63\00:05:31.34
Why does an
opossum, a redwood tree,
00:05:31.82\00:05:34.16
and a kidney bean,
each have 22 chromosomes?
00:05:34.19\00:05:37.31
What's their relationship?
00:05:37.78\00:05:38.93
Did the redwood
tree evolve from the
00:05:39.36\00:05:41.07
opossum or that
the opossum evolve from
00:05:41.10\00:05:43.30
the kidney bean. A
dog and a chicken both
00:05:43.33\00:05:46.24
have 78 chromosomes,
but that doesn't prove
00:05:46.27\00:05:48.93
they're related to
each other. So, why do
00:05:48.96\00:05:51.67
evolutionists try to
tell us that since the
00:05:51.70\00:05:54.33
chimpanzee has
48 chromosomes and
00:05:54.36\00:05:56.95
we have 46, that
this somehow makes us
00:05:56.98\00:05:59.74
related? Similarity
between species does
00:05:59.77\00:06:02.92
not prove
relationship, but it can be used
00:06:02.95\00:06:05.85
to prove a common
designer. By the way,
00:06:05.88\00:06:08.24
if evolution was true
then it would stand to
00:06:08.27\00:06:11.38
reason that the
less complex structures
00:06:11.41\00:06:13.48
would evolve first
and the more complex
00:06:13.51\00:06:15.90
structure would
evolve from the lower
00:06:15.93\00:06:17.60
forms of life. So,
then why is the chimp
00:06:17.63\00:06:20.95
has more
chromosomes than the human.
00:06:20.98\00:06:23.25
Talk about turning the tables on
00:06:23.76\00:06:25.49
evolutionary
thinking. This would indicate
00:06:25.52\00:06:28.21
that humans
develop first having 46
00:06:28.52\00:06:31.23
chromosomes and
that the chimp having
00:06:31.26\00:06:33.81
48 chromosomes evolve from us.
00:06:33.84\00:06:36.26
In the October
2004 issue of Scientific
00:06:37.61\00:06:40.34
American, page 62,
the following question
00:06:40.37\00:06:43.41
is asked: "If
amphibians evolved before
00:06:43.44\00:06:47.33
mammals, why do
some amphibians have
00:06:47.36\00:06:50.60
5 times more DNA
then some mammals"?
00:06:50.63\00:06:53.12
The answer to
this is very simple.
00:06:54.04\00:06:55.28
Macroevolution
didn't take place.
00:06:55.78\00:06:57.37
There is no logical
progressive continuity
00:06:58.18\00:07:00.70
in the evolution of
protein structures or in
00:07:00.73\00:07:03.27
the evolution of
chromosomes counts
00:07:03.30\00:07:05.32
or in the amount of
DNA between species.
00:07:05.35\00:07:07.80
All living cells on
the face of this planet
00:07:08.46\00:07:10.63
give testimony to
a God of creation.
00:07:10.66\00:07:12.94
A God, who has
perfectly designed this
00:07:13.58\00:07:15.51
vast world of
life, which surrounds us
00:07:15.54\00:07:17.59
everyday. If you
are not convinced by
00:07:17.62\00:07:20.15
that's simplistic
answer then please
00:07:20.18\00:07:22.51
consider this. As more and more
00:07:22.54\00:07:24.86
researchers done,
scientists are finding
00:07:24.89\00:07:27.34
that there are
greater and greater
00:07:27.37\00:07:29.44
differences
between man and chimpanzee
00:07:29.47\00:07:31.47
DNA sequences. When the DNA
00:07:31.50\00:07:33.83
sequences were first compared,
00:07:33.86\00:07:35.45
it was believed the
similarity between man
00:07:36.00\00:07:38.16
and chimp was 98.4%,
thus leaving a difference
00:07:38.19\00:07:41.85
between man and
chimp of only 1.6% within
00:07:41.88\00:07:44.96
the DNA code. This
does not prove evolution.
00:07:44.99\00:07:48.29
However, it does
indicate that a common
00:07:48.76\00:07:51.26
designer may
have used the similar
00:07:51.29\00:07:53.59
blueprint in his
creation, but let's
00:07:53.62\00:07:56.43
look at how much
difference 1.6% of
00:07:56.46\00:07:59.37
DNA sequencing can really mean.
00:07:59.40\00:08:00.90
Dr. Barney
Maddox, a leading genetic
00:08:01.61\00:08:03.64
genome researcher
said concerning these
00:08:03.67\00:08:05.53
genetic
differences, "Now, the genetic
00:08:05.56\00:08:07.94
difference between
human and his nearest
00:08:07.97\00:08:09.77
relative, the
chimpanzee, is at least 1.6%.
00:08:09.80\00:08:13.04
That does not sound like much,
00:08:13.70\00:08:15.46
but calculated out,
that is a gap of at least
00:08:15.49\00:08:18.44
48,000,000
nucleotides, and a change of
00:08:18.47\00:08:21.25
only 3 nucleotides
is fatal to an animal;"
00:08:21.28\00:08:23.74
So, you see a 1.6%
difference in the DNA
00:08:24.46\00:08:27.57
code equates the
48,000,000 differences
00:08:27.60\00:08:29.76
nucleotides.
Nucleotides are molecules,
00:08:29.79\00:08:32.75
which comprise the
structural units of
00:08:32.78\00:08:35.03
RNA and DNA
that's a lot of changes
00:08:35.06\00:08:37.79
taking place
won't you say? However,
00:08:37.82\00:08:40.07
it doesn't stop
there Roy J. Britten of the
00:08:40.10\00:08:42.89
California
Institute of Technology did a
00:08:42.92\00:08:44.99
comparison of
human and chimp DNA
00:08:45.02\00:08:46.78
also and found
more differences then
00:08:46.81\00:08:49.05
previously noted.
Britten concluded that
00:08:49.08\00:08:51.57
humans and chimps
only share about 95%
00:08:51.60\00:08:54.28
of the same DNA.
Going from 1.6% to 5%
00:08:54.31\00:08:58.39
is more then a
three-fold increase
00:08:58.42\00:09:00.45
in the differences
between human and chimp DNA.
00:09:00.48\00:09:03.40
This means that
there are then 150,000,000
00:09:04.09\00:09:07.41
differences in the
nucleotides. As time
00:09:07.44\00:09:10.19
goes on, we may
learn that the differences
00:09:10.22\00:09:11.91
are even greater
than that. Now that we are
00:09:11.94\00:09:14.28
on the topic of
DNA, let's look at DNA
00:09:14.31\00:09:16.74
replication. DNA
replication produces
00:09:16.77\00:09:19.64
two identical DNA
molecules, which have
00:09:19.67\00:09:22.16
been produced
from a single, double
00:09:22.19\00:09:23.93
stranded DNA
molecule known as the
00:09:23.96\00:09:25.99
double helix. The
double helix is unwound
00:09:26.02\00:09:29.02
and each strand
acts as a template.
00:09:29.05\00:09:31.15
Bases are matched
to replicate the new
00:09:31.90\00:09:34.05
partner strands.
Cellular proof-reading
00:09:34.08\00:09:36.79
and
error-checking mechanisms ensure
00:09:36.82\00:09:39.55
near perfect
fidelity for DNA replication.
00:09:39.58\00:09:42.54
Even with his over
simplified explanation
00:09:43.25\00:09:45.64
of DNA
replication. You can see the
00:09:45.67\00:09:47.71
tremendous need,
where an intelligent
00:09:47.74\00:09:49.70
designer to create
the system. Let's go a
00:09:49.73\00:09:53.04
step farther and see how God has
00:09:53.07\00:09:54.66
assembled these
buildings blocks of
00:09:54.69\00:09:56.19
creation into a living
cell. This is a picture
00:09:56.22\00:09:59.56
of a biological
cell. Here you can see, its
00:09:59.59\00:10:02.36
enormous complexity
starting from the left
00:10:02.39\00:10:05.15
and working our
way clockwise. We can
00:10:05.18\00:10:07.89
see the
Mitochondrion, the Centriole,
00:10:07.92\00:10:10.28
the Vacuole, the
Cystosol, the Lysosome,
00:10:10.69\00:10:13.68
the Nucleolus, the
Nucleus, the Ribosome,
00:10:14.17\00:10:17.47
the Vesicle, the
Rough endoplasmic
00:10:17.50\00:10:20.25
reticulum, the Golgi apparatus,
00:10:20.28\00:10:22.67
the Cytoskeleton
and finally the smooth
00:10:23.20\00:10:25.46
endoplasmic reticulum.
The cell is a structural
00:10:25.49\00:10:29.11
and functional unit of
all known living organisms.
00:10:29.14\00:10:32.20
It is the smallest
unit of an organism that is
00:10:32.67\00:10:34.96
classified as living
and is often called the
00:10:34.99\00:10:38.58
building block of
life. Most bacteria
00:10:38.61\00:10:41.53
consist of a
single cell. Humans are
00:10:41.56\00:10:44.17
multicellular
having an estimated 100
00:10:44.20\00:10:46.63
trillion cells.
Now, remember 10 to 50th
00:10:46.66\00:10:49.67
power is considered
to be an impossibility,
00:10:49.70\00:10:51.92
yet the cell
formation of the single protein
00:10:52.42\00:10:54.55
is calculated to be
10 to the 191st power.
00:10:54.58\00:10:58.02
And the self
formation of a single cell
00:10:58.34\00:11:00.48
is calculated to
be 10 to the power of
00:11:00.51\00:11:02.79
40,000. These
possibilities of probability
00:11:02.82\00:11:06.00
should raise
millions of red flags in the
00:11:06.03\00:11:07.74
evolutionary
community. As they predict
00:11:07.77\00:11:10.09
the impossibility of
the self formation of
00:11:10.12\00:11:12.74
cells. On their own
each of these structures
00:11:12.77\00:11:15.62
within the cell are
very complex. To get an
00:11:15.65\00:11:18.60
idea of what I mean,
let's look at the cells
00:11:18.63\00:11:21.51
membrane. Here is
a detail diagram of a
00:11:21.54\00:11:24.60
cells membrane. Once
again we start at the
00:11:24.63\00:11:27.34
upper left side of
the picture and we see
00:11:27.37\00:11:29.66
the Protein
channel used to transport
00:11:29.69\00:11:32.42
protein through the
cell membrane to its
00:11:32.45\00:11:34.82
right we see the
Globular protein then the
00:11:34.85\00:11:38.02
Glycoprotein, then
Carbohydrate, then the
00:11:38.05\00:11:41.99
Hydrophilic Heads
and below those heads
00:11:42.02\00:11:44.51
are Hydrophilic
Tails. The cells membrane
00:11:44.54\00:11:47.77
is constructed as a
Phospholipid Bi-layer.
00:11:47.80\00:11:50.34
On the bottom
side you also see the
00:11:51.13\00:11:52.73
Alpha-Helix protein
followed by a Surface
00:11:52.76\00:11:55.80
protein, the
Filaments of the Cytoskeleton
00:11:55.83\00:11:58.89
and Integral
protein, a Peripheral protein,
00:11:59.31\00:12:02.60
the Glycolipid, and
Cholesterol. Wow! No
00:12:02.63\00:12:06.46
wonder the
statistical changes of a single
00:12:06.49\00:12:08.46
cell forming by
itself are impossible.
00:12:08.49\00:12:10.47
In addition to this,
there are approximately
00:12:11.37\00:12:13.24
210 known
distinct human cell types!
00:12:13.27\00:12:16.33
There are 27
Exocrine secretion epithelial
00:12:16.97\00:12:19.65
cells, 3 Wet stratified
barrier epithelial cells,
00:12:19.68\00:12:23.52
12 Keratinizing
epithelial cells,
00:12:23.55\00:12:25.64
31 Hormone
secreting cells, 4 Metabolism
00:12:26.07\00:12:29.35
and storage cells, 20
Epithelial cells lining
00:12:29.38\00:12:32.47
closed internal body
cavities, 6 Kidney cells,
00:12:32.50\00:12:35.69
6 Ciliated cells
with propulsive function,
00:12:35.72\00:12:38.40
19 Extracellular
matrix secretion cells,
00:12:38.43\00:12:41.81
12 Contractile
cells, 20 Blood and immune
00:12:41.84\00:12:44.82
system cells, 19
Sensory transducer cells,
00:12:44.85\00:12:48.68
3 Autonomic neuron
cells, 12 Sense organ
00:12:48.71\00:12:52.13
and peripheral neuron cells,
00:12:52.16\00:12:53.55
4 Central nervous
system neuron cells,
00:12:54.05\00:12:56.26
2 Lens cells, 2 Pigment cells,
00:12:56.29\00:12:58.42
5 Germ cells, and
finally 3 Nurse cells.
00:12:58.45\00:13:01.18
If the odds for
one single living cell
00:13:01.62\00:13:03.78
revolve by itself is
10 to the power 40,000
00:13:03.81\00:13:06.19
then I shattered
to think what the odds
00:13:06.51\00:13:08.07
would be for 210
different types of cells to form
00:13:08.10\00:13:10.47
all by
themselves. What do you think
00:13:10.50\00:13:12.63
and not only that,
but to then have those
00:13:13.30\00:13:16.30
cells form
themselves into the major
00:13:16.33\00:13:18.27
organs of the body
and function as a living
00:13:18.30\00:13:20.29
system. Are you
beginning to understand
00:13:20.32\00:13:22.48
how impossible it
is for a life to evolve
00:13:22.51\00:13:24.58
from non-life? Just
look at the level of
00:13:24.61\00:13:27.07
intelligence and
complexity that has gone
00:13:27.10\00:13:28.91
into this very basic
building block of life.
00:13:28.94\00:13:31.27
Genesis 1:26-27
says And God said,
00:13:31.98\00:13:34.97
Let us make man in
our image, after our
00:13:35.00\00:13:37.22
likeness. So, God
created man in his own
00:13:37.25\00:13:39.59
image, male and
female He created them.
00:13:39.62\00:13:41.96
Unlike the skeletal
structure of a home,
00:13:42.50\00:13:44.89
our skeletal system
is a living growing part
00:13:45.33\00:13:47.73
of our body. The
typical adult skeleton has
00:13:47.76\00:13:50.58
206 bones, each of
which serves a specific
00:13:50.61\00:13:53.79
purpose. A skeleton
provides "cages'' to
00:13:53.82\00:13:57.11
protect the delicate
organs. It also gives
00:13:57.14\00:13:59.81
muscles something to
attach to through the
00:13:59.84\00:14:02.36
tendons. It
supports the bodies shape and
00:14:02.39\00:14:06.01
allows for
motion. Another function
00:14:06.04\00:14:08.31
of the skeleton is
to make red and white
00:14:08.34\00:14:10.22
blood cells.
Marrow within the bone
00:14:10.25\00:14:12.37
produce these
cells. The primary function
00:14:12.40\00:14:15.36
of our bones,
however, is for locomotion.
00:14:15.39\00:14:17.43
Bones allow the
muscles of the body to
00:14:18.13\00:14:20.38
move the limbs.
The skull contains,
00:14:20.41\00:14:22.77
and protects the
brain, along with special
00:14:22.80\00:14:25.14
sense organs for
taste, smell, hearing,
00:14:25.17\00:14:27.92
vision, and balance.
The skull is constructed
00:14:27.95\00:14:31.14
from 22 bones, 21
of which are fused or
00:14:31.17\00:14:34.71
locked together.
The adult back bone
00:14:34.74\00:14:36.72
consist of 26
vertebrae, 12 pairs of ribs
00:14:36.75\00:14:39.72
form a ribcage,
which protects the heart,
00:14:39.75\00:14:42.80
lungs, major blood
vessels, stomach and liver.
00:14:42.83\00:14:45.76
Let me ask you, could
all of these intrically
00:14:46.69\00:14:49.04
connected bones
have evolved without
00:14:49.07\00:14:50.78
God creating
them. For the purpose in
00:14:50.81\00:14:53.29
which they serve.
For by him, where all
00:14:53.32\00:14:56.79
things created that
are in heaven and that
00:14:56.82\00:14:59.15
are in earth
visible and invisible and by
00:14:59.18\00:15:01.95
him all things
consist. Let's move on to the
00:15:01.98\00:15:05.05
eye, shall we.
Matthew 6:22 says,
00:15:05.08\00:15:07.49
the eye is the lamp
of the body. If your
00:15:07.52\00:15:09.89
eyes are good,
your whole body will be
00:15:09.92\00:15:11.82
full of light. It
says, eyes are organs that
00:15:11.85\00:15:14.73
detect light! They
don't actually produce
00:15:14.91\00:15:17.08
the images we see!
Light entering the eye
00:15:17.11\00:15:19.72
is refracted as it
passes through the cornea,
00:15:19.75\00:15:21.89
it then passes
through the Pupil controlled
00:15:21.92\00:15:25.07
by the Iris and
is further refracted
00:15:25.10\00:15:27.58
by the Lens. The
cornea and lens act
00:15:27.61\00:15:30.24
together as a
compound lens to project an
00:15:30.27\00:15:32.40
inverted 2D
image onto the retina.
00:15:32.43\00:15:34.89
The detected light
signals are then sent
00:15:34.92\00:15:37.44
by the way of the
optic nerve to the visual
00:15:37.47\00:15:39.85
area of the brain.
The optic nerves from
00:15:39.88\00:15:42.67
both eyes meet,
and cross at the optic
00:15:42.70\00:15:45.07
chiasm, at the
base of the hypothalamus
00:15:45.10\00:15:47.70
of the brain. The
information is then
00:15:47.73\00:15:50.12
combined and
splits according to the
00:15:50.15\00:15:51.82
visual field. The
visual system now has the
00:15:51.85\00:15:54.51
complex task of
reconstructing a 3
00:15:54.54\00:15:57.45
dimensional world
from a 2 dimensional
00:15:57.48\00:15:59.47
projection of that
world. Together all
00:15:59.50\00:16:02.18
of these parts are
necessary for us to see.
00:16:02.21\00:16:03.99
Could all of these
parts evolve on their own
00:16:04.56\00:16:06.97
or are they the work
of a loving creator God.
00:16:08.06\00:16:10.61
Malachi 2:10 says,
Have we not all one
00:16:11.34\00:16:13.69
father? Has not
one God created us?
00:16:13.72\00:16:17.26
Now we can consider the
ear. Revelation 2:7 says,
00:16:17.98\00:16:21.39
He that has an ear,
let him hear what the
00:16:21.42\00:16:23.18
Spirit says unto the
churches; To him that
00:16:23.21\00:16:25.50
overcomes will I
give to eat of the tree
00:16:25.53\00:16:27.86
of life, which is
in the midst of the
00:16:27.89\00:16:29.49
paradise of God.
As the eye does not
00:16:29.52\00:16:32.57
produce the image
of our sight, likewise,
00:16:32.60\00:16:35.13
the ear does not
produce the sound
00:16:35.16\00:16:37.04
of our hearing. It's
the brain and central
00:16:37.07\00:16:39.45
nervous system that "hears".
00:16:39.48\00:16:40.76
The ear changes
sound pressure waves
00:16:40.79\00:16:43.01
from the outside
world into a signal
00:16:43.04\00:16:45.42
of nerve impulses
send to the brain.
00:16:45.45\00:16:47.32
The sound waves are
perceived by the brain
00:16:48.70\00:16:50.77
through the
firing of nerve cells
00:16:51.21\00:16:52.98
in the auditory
portion of the central
00:16:53.01\00:16:55.00
nervous system. The
outer part of the ear
00:16:55.03\00:16:57.55
collects the sound
that sound pressure
00:16:57.58\00:17:00.15
is amplified to the
middle portion of the ear
00:17:00.18\00:17:02.53
and it passes
from the medium of air
00:17:03.11\00:17:04.95
into the liquid
medium. Here are the 3 bones
00:17:04.98\00:17:08.08
of the Middle ear,
the Malleus, the Incus
00:17:08.11\00:17:10.05
and the Stapes.
The Stapes being the
00:17:10.08\00:17:12.29
smallest bone in the human body.
00:17:12.32\00:17:13.95
These 3 bones
working together transfer
00:17:14.80\00:17:17.55
the sound vibrations of the air
00:17:17.58\00:17:19.47
medium, via the ear drum, into
the Inner ear liquid medium.
00:17:19.50\00:17:23.53
The liquid
filled channels of the
00:17:24.26\00:17:26.29
inner ear contain
a sensory epithelium,
00:17:26.32\00:17:29.26
which is
studded with hair cells.
00:17:29.71\00:17:31.35
These microscopic
hairs are structural
00:17:32.08\00:17:34.58
protein filaments,
which project into the fluid
00:17:34.61\00:17:37.81
The hair cells
release a chemical
00:17:38.69\00:17:40.66
neurotransmitter
when stimulated.
00:17:40.69\00:17:42.53
Sound waves
moving through the fluid
00:17:43.44\00:17:45.24
push against the
filaments, if the
00:17:45.27\00:17:48.00
filaments bend over
enough it causes the
00:17:48.03\00:17:50.26
hair cells to fire.
In this way sound waves
00:17:50.29\00:17:53.77
are transformed
into nerve impulses.
00:17:53.80\00:17:57.13
There is a drawing
from Gray's Anatomy
00:17:57.88\00:17:59.40
that shows the
Nerve Fibers on the lower
00:17:59.43\00:18:01.62
left along with the
inner ear and outer hair cells.
00:18:01.65\00:18:05.78
The finally tuned
delicately balanced ear
00:18:07.05\00:18:09.33
with it's
intricate system of hair cell
00:18:09.36\00:18:11.84
neurotransmitters
speaks loudly to our
00:18:11.87\00:18:14.45
hearing that the
ear could have only come
00:18:14.48\00:18:17.06
from the hand of an
intelligent designer.
00:18:17.09\00:18:19.64
For by him were all
things created that are
00:18:20.43\00:18:23.14
in heaven and that are in earth.
00:18:23.17\00:18:24.73
Visible and
invisible and by him all things
00:18:24.76\00:18:28.34
consist. Now, let's
look at the respiratory
00:18:28.37\00:18:31.08
system. Genesis
2:7 says, And the LORD
00:18:31.11\00:18:34.04
God formed man of
the dust of the ground,
00:18:34.07\00:18:35.82
and breathed into his
nostrils the breath of
00:18:36.36\00:18:38.42
life; and man
became a living soul."
00:18:38.45\00:18:41.91
When God breathe
into Adam's nostrils,
00:18:42.93\00:18:44.67
the breath of life
that breath entered into
00:18:44.70\00:18:47.02
the lungs in order
to oxygenate the blood.
00:18:47.05\00:18:49.58
The principle
function of the lungs are to
00:18:50.31\00:18:52.71
transport oxygen
from the atmosphere into
00:18:52.74\00:18:55.41
the bloodstream and
to release carbon dioxide
00:18:55.44\00:18:58.74
from the bloodstream
back into the atmosphere.
00:18:58.77\00:19:01.37
The drawing and expulsion of air
00:19:02.30\00:19:04.05
is driven by muscular action.
00:19:04.08\00:19:06.11
The diaphragm in
addition to the internal
00:19:06.75\00:19:09.30
intercostal muscles
drives ventilation by
00:19:09.33\00:19:12.45
periodically
altering the intrathoracic
00:19:12.48\00:19:14.58
volume and
pressure By increasing
00:19:14.61\00:19:16.89
volume and thus
decreasing pressure,
00:19:16.92\00:19:18.95
air flows into the
airways down a pressure
00:19:19.27\00:19:22.23
gradient. By
reducing volume and increasing
00:19:22.26\00:19:25.39
pressure, the reverse occurs.
00:19:25.42\00:19:27.37
The exchange of
gases is performed in the
00:19:28.02\00:19:30.76
mosaic of
specialized cells that form
00:19:30.79\00:19:32.85
millions of tiny,
thin-walled air sacs
00:19:32.88\00:19:35.23
called alveoli. A
network of capillaries allows
00:19:35.26\00:19:38.80
transportation of
the blood over the
00:19:38.83\00:19:40.38
surface of the
alveoli. Oxygen from the air
00:19:40.41\00:19:43.76
inside the alveoli
diffuses into the bloodstream
00:19:44.27\00:19:47.04
and carbon dioxide
diffuses from the blood
00:19:47.62\00:19:50.82
to the alveoli. This is
a complex system friends
00:19:50.85\00:19:54.79
A system such as
this couldn't have only
00:19:55.32\00:19:57.71
have come from the
hand of an intelligent
00:19:57.74\00:20:00.23
designer. Isaiah 42:5
records God as the one.
00:20:00.26\00:20:03.73
who gives breathe
onto the people upon
00:20:03.76\00:20:06.49
the earth and
Spirit to them that walked
00:20:06.52\00:20:08.85
there in. Moving
to the heart now,
00:20:08.88\00:20:11.39
Deuteronomy 4:39
says, Know therefore
00:20:11.72\00:20:14.39
this day, and
consider it in your heart,
00:20:14.42\00:20:16.17
that the LORD he is
God in heaven above,
00:20:16.56\00:20:18.71
and upon the earth
beneath: there is none else.
00:20:18.74\00:20:21.92
The heart is a
muscular organ responsible
00:20:22.70\00:20:24.55
for pumping
blood through the blood
00:20:24.58\00:20:26.35
vessels by repeated
rhythmic contractions.
00:20:26.38\00:20:28.75
The average
human heart beating at
00:20:29.55\00:20:31.12
72 beats per minute
will beat approximately
00:20:31.15\00:20:33.41
2.5 billion times
during a 66-year lifetime.
00:20:33.44\00:20:36.96
The human embryonic
heart begins beating
00:20:37.71\00:20:39.87
around 21 days after conception.
00:20:39.90\00:20:41.88
It is unknown how
blood in the human
00:20:42.58\00:20:44.90
embryo circulates
for the first 21 days in
00:20:44.93\00:20:48.20
the absence of
the functioning heart.
00:20:48.23\00:20:49.54
Friends, this is
simply another of God's
00:20:50.42\00:20:52.38
awesome miracles. For 21 days,
00:20:52.41\00:20:54.64
he sustains us
without a function in heart.
00:20:54.67\00:20:56.96
In Jeremiah 1:5
God said, "Before I
00:20:57.88\00:21:00.92
formed you in the
belly, I knew you."
00:21:00.95\00:21:02.96
The function of the
right side of the heart
00:21:03.85\00:21:05.62
is to collect deoxygenated blood
00:21:05.65\00:21:07.95
in the right
atrium and pump it via the
00:21:08.93\00:21:11.74
right ventricle into the lungs.
00:21:11.77\00:21:13.70
Here carbon
dioxide can be dropped off
00:21:14.33\00:21:16.82
and oxygen picked
up, this is known as
00:21:16.85\00:21:19.66
gas exchange,
which happens through the
00:21:19.69\00:21:22.07
passive process of
diffusion. The left side
00:21:22.10\00:21:25.62
collects oxygenated
blood from the lungs
00:21:25.65\00:21:27.93
into the left
atrium. From there the blood
00:21:27.96\00:21:30.63
moves to the left
ventricle, which pumps
00:21:30.66\00:21:33.18
it out to the body.
Each day the average
00:21:33.21\00:21:36.18
heart beats
100,000 times and pumps
00:21:36.21\00:21:39.11
about 2000 gallons of blood.
00:21:39.14\00:21:41.42
That's 730,000 gallons per year!
00:21:42.22\00:21:44.36
Over a 75 year
lifespan, that's 54.7 Million
00:21:45.10\00:21:48.54
gallons! The Exxon
Valdez was 987 feet
00:21:48.57\00:21:52.07
long, 166 feet
wide and 88 feet deep.
00:21:52.10\00:21:55.53
It was near
capacity when its tragic
00:21:56.36\00:21:58.35
Alaskan
accident occurred. It was
00:21:58.38\00:22:00.73
carrying
approximately 53 million gallons
00:22:00.76\00:22:02.99
of crude at that
time. That's approximately
00:22:03.02\00:22:05.33
how much blood the
average human heart
00:22:05.36\00:22:07.18
pumps during its
lifetime. There are
00:22:07.21\00:22:09.51
two types of
fluids moving through the
00:22:09.54\00:22:11.39
circulatory
system, blood and lymph.
00:22:11.42\00:22:13.70
The blood, heart,
and blood vessels form
00:22:14.57\00:22:17.34
the cardiovascular
system. The lymph, lymph nodes,
00:22:17.37\00:22:20.88
and lymph vessels
form the lymphatic system.
00:22:20.91\00:22:24.18
The circulatory system
moves nutrients, gases,
00:22:24.75\00:22:27.47
and wastes to and
from cells, it helps fight
00:22:27.50\00:22:30.99
disease and help stabilize body
00:22:31.02\00:22:33.09
temperature and
PH. An average adult
00:22:33.12\00:22:36.18
contains 5-6 quarts
of blood, which consists
00:22:36.27\00:22:38.41
the plasma, red blood
cells, white blood cells,
00:22:38.44\00:22:41.38
and platelets. The
heart and circulatory system
00:22:41.41\00:22:44.80
are so awesome. It
simply had to be the
00:22:44.83\00:22:48.06
work of an
intelligent designer. For by him
00:22:48.09\00:22:50.83
where all things
created that are in heaven
00:22:50.86\00:22:52.72
and that are in earth
visible and invisible.
00:22:53.01\00:22:55.05
And by him all things consist.
00:22:55.08\00:22:57.42
Now, consider
the digestive system.
00:22:58.14\00:22:59.81
Ecclesiastes 3:13
says, That everyone may
00:22:59.84\00:23:02.71
eat and drink, and
find satisfaction in all
00:23:02.74\00:23:05.06
of his toil, this
is the gift of God.
00:23:05.09\00:23:07.21
Digestion is the
process of the body,
00:23:08.29\00:23:10.11
which breaks down
chemicals into smaller
00:23:10.14\00:23:12.02
components that can
be absorbed by the blood.
00:23:12.05\00:23:15.02
Mechanical and
chemical digestion
00:23:16.34\00:23:18.43
begins in the
mouth, where food is chewed
00:23:18.46\00:23:21.36
and mixed with saliva
to breakdown the starches.
00:23:21.39\00:23:23.95
The stomach
continues to breakdown the food
00:23:24.87\00:23:26.67
mechanically and
chemically through the
00:23:26.70\00:23:29.02
churning of the
stomach and mixing
00:23:29.05\00:23:30.92
of enzymes.
Absorption occurs in the stomach
00:23:30.95\00:23:34.47
and in the
gastrointestinal tract.
00:23:34.50\00:23:36.91
The process
finishes with excretion to
00:23:37.55\00:23:40.18
eliminate waste. Not
only has God designed this
00:23:40.21\00:23:43.38
complicated system to
extract nutrients that
00:23:43.41\00:23:46.14
our bodies may live
and grow, but he has also
00:23:46.17\00:23:48.84
done it in such a
way thus pleasing to our
00:23:48.87\00:23:51.01
taste buds.
Revelation 4:11 says, Thou art
00:23:51.04\00:23:54.67
worthy, O Lord, to receive glory
00:23:54.70\00:23:56.29
and honor and power:
for thou hast created
00:23:56.32\00:23:58.91
all things, and for
thy pleasure they are
00:23:58.94\00:24:01.28
and were created.
Now, we would like to
00:24:01.31\00:24:04.17
take a look at the
brain. Romans 12:2 says,
00:24:04.20\00:24:06.83
Be not conformed
to this world: but be
00:24:06.86\00:24:09.28
transformed by the
renewing of your mind,
00:24:09.31\00:24:11.32
that you may prove
what is that good, and
00:24:11.76\00:24:13.98
acceptable, and
perfect, will of God.
00:24:14.01\00:24:15.91
The brain is the
most complex biological
00:24:16.51\00:24:18.46
structure known to
man. Our brain controls
00:24:18.49\00:24:20.79
behavior either by
activating muscles or
00:24:20.82\00:24:23.18
by causing
secretion of chemicals such as
00:24:23.21\00:24:25.47
hormones. It
controls all the functions
00:24:25.50\00:24:28.32
within our body.
The brain contains
00:24:28.35\00:24:31.17
roughly 100 billion
neurons, each linked
00:24:31.20\00:24:34.19
with up to 10,000
synaptic connections.
00:24:34.22\00:24:37.52
These neurons
communicate with one another
00:24:38.31\00:24:40.18
through protoplasmic
fibers called axons.
00:24:40.21\00:24:42.83
Axons carry signal
pulses called action
00:24:43.66\00:24:46.63
potentials to
distant parts of the brain
00:24:46.66\00:24:48.60
or body. Axons
target the action potential
00:24:48.63\00:24:52.82
signals to
specific recipient cells.
00:24:52.85\00:24:55.63
The operations of
individual neurons
00:24:55.66\00:24:58.31
and synapses are
now understood in
00:24:58.34\00:25:00.71
considerable
detail, but the way they
00:25:00.74\00:25:02.83
cooperate in groups
of millions has been
00:25:02.86\00:25:05.25
very difficult to
decipher. Methods of
00:25:05.28\00:25:08.27
observation such
as the EEG recording
00:25:08.30\00:25:11.13
and functional
brain imaging tell us that
00:25:11.47\00:25:13.93
the brain operations
are highly organized,
00:25:13.96\00:25:16.47
but these methods
don't have high enough
00:25:16.50\00:25:18.68
resolution to
reveal the activity of
00:25:18.71\00:25:20.56
individual neurons,
doesn't it seems strange
00:25:20.59\00:25:23.66
that the very core
of mans thinking was
00:25:23.69\00:25:26.47
created by God.
But, yet many will do
00:25:26.50\00:25:29.10
everything that
they can not to recognize
00:25:29.13\00:25:30.84
his existence and
his creative power.
00:25:30.87\00:25:33.47
Romans 1:20 says,
For the invisible things
00:25:33.99\00:25:37.14
of him from the
creation of the world
00:25:37.17\00:25:39.27
are clearly seen,
being understood by the
00:25:39.30\00:25:42.06
things which are
made, even his eternal power
00:25:42.09\00:25:45.25
and Godhead; so that
they are without excuse.
00:25:45.28\00:25:48.99
Yes, God wants us
to examine the things
00:25:49.70\00:25:52.06
he has made and in
so doing we will learn
00:25:52.09\00:25:54.54
more about him and
his creative power.
00:25:54.57\00:25:57.12
As we near to the
close of this program,
00:25:58.09\00:25:59.47
we would like to
take a moment and share
00:25:59.50\00:26:01.48
with you this
spiritual contemplation.
00:26:01.51\00:26:03.77
Your body is a
living temple of God.
00:26:05.51\00:26:07.69
He wants to live in
you and walk with you.
00:26:08.38\00:26:10.87
God is our spiritual
father and we are his
00:26:11.79\00:26:14.36
sons and daughters.
Seeing we have these
00:26:14.39\00:26:17.43
promises, let's
purify ourselves from
00:26:17.46\00:26:20.30
everything that
contaminates our body
00:26:20.33\00:26:22.64
and spirit doing
this for God, who made us
00:26:22.67\00:26:26.02
and gave his life for us.
00:26:26.05\00:26:28.50
Thank you Teresa
for sharing that thought
00:26:30.99\00:26:32.42
with us. Ephesians
2:10 says, For we are
00:26:32.45\00:26:35.76
his workmanship
created in Christ Jesus
00:26:35.79\00:26:38.31
onto good works,
which God had before
00:26:38.45\00:26:40.67
ordained that we
should walk in them.
00:26:40.70\00:26:42.60
Friends our time
is just about up. So,
00:26:43.54\00:26:46.06
I would like to
encourage you to look
00:26:46.09\00:26:47.70
to Jesus not only as
your creator, but also
00:26:47.73\00:26:50.59
as your savior. I
would like to encourage
00:26:50.62\00:26:53.44
you to walk in good
works and share Jesus
00:26:53.47\00:26:56.26
with others. May God bless you
00:26:56.29\00:26:58.04
and you're loved ones.
00:26:58.52\00:26:59.87
