Hey everybody, this is Matt Powell on the team here at Dinosaur Adventureland.
I'm coming to you today with the fundamentals of the creation versus evolution debate.
There's so many people out there today that think that the evolutionists really have the creationists beat,
and they think that they've defeated us on all fronts.
But I'm here to tell you, anybody that believes in evolution is believing in things that are so superstitious
that it is mind-blowing that anybody could possibly believe in it.
So we'll go ahead and get started here. The Bible says, prove all things, hold fast to that which is good.
And so we should always hold fast to the things that are true and right.
This is my family. We are from Grand Rapids, Michigan.
And before I get started, these are some great resources.
If you're not sure what you believe on creation or evolution or Bible and science,
I would recommend Matt Powell Official, obviously, which is my channel, but then also Standing for Truth.
Standing for Truth is a team of young earth creation science guys.
One of them is actual PhD, and they're amazing.
And I recommend their content. They're the people that I study under a lot of times.
So I'm going to launch right into this. We're going to go for the jugular.
How many in here have ever heard of carbon dating?
Everybody's heard of carbon dating.
If you've been around the creation versus evolution topic or anybody that discusses it, you'll know about carbon dating.
And evolutionists say that carbon dating proves that the earth is more than 50,000 years old
because carbon dating obviously goes out to about 50,000 years in the past.
It says here says carbon 14 dating is a way of determining the age of certain archaeological artifacts of a biological origin up to about 50,000 years old.
So I'm just going to go ahead and ask the question, why is it then that we find carbon 14 inside of dinosaur bones that are supposedly 65 million years old?
I'd like an answer to that. People say, dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago.
Really? There's C14 inside the bones. According to this article, which is a scientific paper, peer-reviewed,
it says that carbon 14 only lasts 50,000 years in any organism that it dies in. Yes?
And soft tissue.
And soft tissue. We find soft tissue in all of these dinosaur bones, blood cells, hemoglobin in the blood.
But oh, it lasted millions of years.
Anybody that believes that is gullible. You're a gullible person if you believe that.
People say, oh, you're so gullible if you're a Christian. No, atheists are gullible.
It is proven because they believe that out of nothing, the universe could be created by nothing.
That takes gullibility. That takes stupidity. That takes complete and utter nonsense, nonsensical thought.
Don't tell me that if you're an atheist, that's fine. But don't tell me you believe in science.
If you're an atheist, it's OK to be an atheist, but not believe in science. Atheists do not believe in science. Period.
If you think that magic is what created the universe by no uncaused cause or just no cause whatsoever, that's magic.
That's who we're dealing with.
We are literally dealing with people that believe in full-out magic.
I've always said, what if a giant boulder popped into this room? What if I said that?
People would laugh at me right out of here.
Yet people believe that the entire universe popped into existence uncaused with no God.
Folks.
Check yourself.
And we keep bringing up the same points to them, and they can't answer them.
They say, why are you bringing up the same tired, old arguments that creationists always have used since the 1980s?
Well, because they're right.
The truth stays the truth.
They say, well, what if you're wrong? I know I'm not wrong, because two plus two is four.
It will always be four. The facts will always be the facts.
You can try and argue against the facts, but the facts will always be the facts at the end of the day.
So stop trying to argue with that which we've demonstrated to be fact, and dinosaur bones contain C14.
That means that they died within the past 50,000 years.
Now, here's how the evolutionists will try to counter this, because they have their little counter arguments.
They say, well, you see, the dinosaur bones were contaminated with C14 at some point in the past 50,000 years.
That's a lame excuse, but sure.
Okay, we'll go there.
Why is it then that we find C14 inside of diamonds?
Diamonds cannot be contaminated.
They're the most compact subatomic particles that exist.
We cannot break through diamonds, even with our most powerful technology.
And you want to tell me that C14 somehow contaminated diamonds, something that cannot be contaminated otherwise?
These diamonds should not have any C14 inside of them if they are 3.5 or 1 to 3.5 billion years old, as Google will tell you.
Just Google it.
They'll say, I said billions of years old.
Why is there C14 in it if C14 only lasts 50,000 years?
Again, these are the fundamentals of young earth creationism.
When I was in college, I played college basketball, and my coach always told me that if you master the fundamentals, you'll be a great player.
And if you're a creationist and you want to get in the middle of this fight, just master the fundamentals and you will win every time.
Every single time.
They say, well, the layers are different ages.
So you have Paleozoic, Mesozoic, Archaeozoic, Cenozoic layers, and they come up with all these fancy names.
Well, why is it that we find identical amounts?
Let's just go based on carbon-14 now.
This is carbon-14 basic lesson, right?
Why is it that we find identical amounts of C14 in all of the coal seams worldwide?
Because all those coal seams are the same vegetation being smashed together in one event.
It's identical amounts.
If evolution were true, there should be no carbon-14 on those bottom layers and then less and less and less as you move up.
But they're identical amounts.
That means that that's all the same vegetation being smashed together in one event.
That's Noah's flood on display.
That's why mountains even exist, is because of the flood.
People that try and explain mountains through slow and gradual plate tectonics, what a joke.
No, it was quick plate tectonics.
It was rapid plate tectonics.
That's why everything was bent, all the bent rock layers that you see.
Soft tissue found inside of T-Rex bones, just as Brother William pointed out earlier.
You know, we constantly are finding these things.
It's the rule, not the exception.
People make it out like it's just so rare that we find this.
You could actually go to scientists and museums and you could break open soft tissue and find soft tissue inside of dinosaur bones.
It's very common.
Okay, does anybody in here remotely think that that's even possible for a soft tissue to last 65 million years?
Scientists say, well, and here's how they answer that.
Well, you see, it was contaminated.
What happens if you contaminate blood?
It deteriorates worse.
It was contaminated.
Do you know what a stupid argument that is?
Oh, but it was fossil.
The blood was fossilized.
Wait a minute.
You say a fossil takes 10,000 years to form.
Is blood going to sit there on the ground for 10,000 years waiting to be fossilized?
No.
But it's not fossilized.
It's soft tissue.
It's soft tissue, correct.
They say, well, it's the method of the fossilization of the bone.
The iron in the blood then.
Okay, great.
Do you see organisms getting encapsulated by iron when they die in nature?
They say, well, if we put blood in iron, it preserves the cells.
That must have been how it lasted.
This was found nowhere near iron deposits.
This was not found near iron.
And yes, even if you put dinosaur soft tissue in an airtight jar
and then put that airtight jar in another airtight jar in another airtight jar,
it's going to deteriorate.
I don't care if it's airtight.
It's going to deteriorate.
Anybody that says that dinosaur soft tissue can last 65 million years,
they are out of their mind.
They are gullible people, period.
And if you vouch for that, you are a gullible person.
If you really believe that.
In a dinosaur adventure land,
what we try and do as a team is tell people the facts.
When they come here and we give them tours,
we try to tell them the facts,
not the opinions that we have.
We might show them our models that we come up with.
Sure, those are falsifiable.
But when it comes to the facts, the facts will always be the facts.
Two plus two, like I said, will always be four.
Mark Armitage.
Who knows Mark Armitage?
Mark Armitage is a famous creation scientist.
He was fired by his university for finding soft tissue
inside of a triceratops horn.
Fired by the university.
They say, well, he didn't really get fired over that.
That's crazy.
Yeah, he took him to court and he won.
I think $500,000 and won and proved that they fired him
supposedly over religious views
because it violated that finding that he had violated what they believed.
So evolution is the only theory protected by law.
They say, well, that's not enough evidence.
I need cross-examined evidence.
You need to be able to cross-examine.
What about the dinosaur tracks
that are 65 million years old in the old time strata?
Oh, really?
Is it just a coincidence
that we find man tracks with dinosaur tracks
in these layers that you say are 65 million years old?
I was in a debate with Dr. Kenny Rhodes
from Reasons to Believe.
And I brought this up to him, right?
And he looked at me.
He goes, well, even though it looks like a man footprint
and anatomically it may be the same,
how do you know there wasn't a creature that looked just like a man?
Talk about believing things without evidence.
It is unbelievable
what unbelievers will believe to remain unbelievers.
Unbelievable.
And don't get angry at me over that.
Don't get angry at me for telling you the facts,
for telling you the truth that you should have heard
when you went to school
and learned that the universe popped into existence
by nothing, with no God.
Folks, the public school system
is completely absurd what they're teaching.
Monkeys surfing, dinosaurs farting to death,
squids and octopi coming from outer space.
Look, their rescue devices are weak.
You always need to point that out.
If you're in a debate with them, point it out.
It's a very weak argument. Be respectful.
But just point it out, it's a weak argument.
And in some cases, we find man footprints
on top of the dinosaur footprint.
I'm sorry, that means they existed at the same time.
You cannot deny that.
That's another cross piece of evidence there.
It's cross-examined.
They say, well, you know, grass didn't evolve till 55 million years ago.
Dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago.
So dinosaurs never saw grass.
So your Bible's wrong when the Bible says
that the behemoth eateth grass as an ox.
No, the Bible was right.
And we actually examined copper lights,
you know, dinosaur dung,
and somehow it lasted 65 million years, guys.
We found dinosaur dung.
It lasted 65 million years.
And guess what we found in it?
Grass.
The dinosaurs actually ate grass.
It says microscopic examination of the fossils,
fossilized dinosaur dung from India now shows
that the massive plant-eating dinosaurs munched heaping helpings
of at least five different types of grass.
They're concluding all this off the fossil record, right?
So they're saying, well, grass didn't exist
when dinosaurs existed in the fossil record.
So that means that they didn't eat grass.
We don't know what they ate.
The Bible says they ate grass.
That's enough for me.
I don't even need these scientific papers.
I know what the Bible says.
That's good enough for me.
They say it's a circular argument.
I don't care what shape the argument is.
The Bible has power.
Never a man's fake like this man.
That's what they said about Jesus.
There's power in the word of God.
Everything that they say is weak.
Everything.
So the Precambrian rock strata, right?
So this is important for us to remember.
If you're in a discussion with them, bring this up.
This is all checkmate every time.
Checkmate, checkmate, checkmate.
Precambrian rock layers are supposedly the oldest layers
that there are.
It's where the jellyfish that we all descended from originated.
The sponge.
Our ancestor, the great-great-great-grandfather SpongeBob.
That's really what they believe.
We're arguing against people that believe in literal tune network.
That that is your ancestor.
Nickelodeon.
SpongeBob.
That's literally what we're arguing against.
People say, how do you always win the debates?
I'm arguing against people that, for lack of a better word, idiots.
I don't mean to say that to be rude,
but sometimes you have to argue with literal idiots.
And look, I'm not trying to say that to be mean.
Sometimes you got to shake the apple cart
to get people to wake up in America today.
Why is it that, you know, precambrian is before dinosaurs existed.
Well, we find bird tracks before dinosaurs even existed
in the precambrian rock layers.
Wait a minute.
Didn't dinosaurs turn into birds?
Why is it that there are bird tracks on the very bottom layers?
Here is what they say.
This is what Charles Lyell said about these bird tracks.
Remember, this is millions of years before birds existed, supposedly.
Charles Lyell said that these tracks were produced.
They weren't real bird tracks.
It's Native American Indians that got bored
and decided to draw some tracks in the precambrian rock layers.
That's literally what they're saying.
They don't believe humans were around that.
Right.
Yeah, so we drew tracks of animals we'd never seen before.
But yet they're drawing them before they existed?
Yeah.
Correct that they're literally saying that Native Americans drew these tracks.
If you believe that, you are gullible, period.
You're gullible.
Stop saying Christians are gullible for believing the Bible,
a book written by goat herders.
What's wrong with a bunch of goat herders?
Last I checked, that was actually a pretty good occupation back then,
before electricity.
So stop spewing your own confusion with yourself
onto all of Christianity.
We don't want it.
It's a fallacy of false equivalence.
But you know, we constantly find, look at this,
are chickens related to the T-Rex?
This is in a kid's book.
Question, are chickens related to the T-Rex?
Answer, yes.
Science has revealed compelling evidence
that the T-Rex actually evolved into a chicken.
Folks, you know what we continuously find in the fossil record?
Dinosaurs with birds in their stomachs.
But dinosaurs, wait a minute, they didn't exist with birds.
They turned into birds.
No, you find dinosaurs with birds in their stomachs.
They were pregnant.
They gave birth to their stomach.
This is what we're up against.
People, you bring this up to them,
and they don't have a clue of what you're talking about.
That's not true.
There's no fossil evidence,
and you show them the actual photo,
and they don't believe it.
They say, well, how can I believe in a God that I can't see?
Why don't you start believing what you can see first?
It's called delusional
if you're not going to believe what you can see.
And if you believe things without evidence,
you're holding to a position that's indefensible.
They're already believing the God I can't see.
Yeah.
The God of random chance.
The God of roll the dice,
except there's no dice,
and there's nothing that produced everything.
That's absolutely absurd.
And of course,
you know, we've debunked that many times.
You know, we find a T-Rex, right?
Under 50 feet of sediment
that had suffocated to death when it was buried.
There is no other way to explain something like that
other than Noah's flood.
They say a local flood could have done it.
No, false.
It would have just ran away.
A T-Rex dinosaur simply would have ran away.
It had to have been globally catastrophic.
That's why we find 10,000 adult myosaur
buried in the center of the United States
that had left their young behind.
Squid and octopi obviously have
a very different genetic background.
A very different genetic build.
And so, you know,
we believe that God created genetic diversity,
built in heterozygosity, if you will.
Well, the evolutionists say that
they can't find any links
for the octopi and the squid
in the fossil record.
So a team of 33 scientists
released this.
It says, and I quote,
the squid eggs hitched a ride
to Earth on the back of asteroids.
Here's what a team of 33 authors
in a recent peer-reviewed paper,
peer review, all hail, agreed to say.
One plausible explanation in our view
is that the genes are likely new
extraterrestrial imports to Earth.
Most plausibly,
as an already coherent group of functioning genes
within, say,
cryptopreserved and matrix protected
fertilized octopus eggs.
Folks,
I just have one verse,
professing themselves to be wise
they became fools.
You would think that one of those 33 scientists
would have been like,
wait a second,
are you sure we're correct about
Darwinian evolution?
Did these really evolve from another planet
and then get seeded here through panspermia?
Or did God, the Lord God, create them?
They say, you're not encouraging people
to ask questions, Matt.
That's what we do in science.
Yeah, we do ask questions.
We're supposed to ask the logical questions
like how did that survive the atmosphere?
It would have been boiled octopi eggs
by the time it hit the atmosphere.
Frozen in space first.
Frozen in space.
How did they, who laid the eggs, right?
These are questions we should ask,
but don't ask questions.
They get offended when you ask questions.
And I give them unwanted answers
to their questions.
They're disingenuous questions.
But if they ask for a source,
always remember to give them a source.
Whenever you're dealing with them,
make sure you have scientific papers
backing up what you're saying.
It's just a good rule of thumb.
Sure.
I feel like another logical fallacy
that Stephen Hawking had that quote
because forces like gravity exist,
the universe can and will create itself,
but if nothing is there,
where does the gravity come from?
Right, exactly.
He says because gravity exists,
nothing will create everything.
Well, wait a minute.
Gravity is something, right?
Well, because gravity,
he also said that if the expansion rate,
and I quote from Stephen Hawking,
he said that if the expansion rate
after the Big Bang would have changed
after just one second by one part
in 100,000 million million,
nothing would exist.
So these people are willing to bank
on one out of 100,000 million million chances
happening by chance.
Oh, no.
Their correction for that is the multiverse.
Oh, it's the multiverse.
So you have enough universes,
and then the odds become better.
We just happen to be the one.
It's funny because they would rather book
their money on what is unlikely.
They would rather put their money
on what's next to impossible or impossible.
Stephen Hawking also said,
and I quote,
that we are a mathematical impossibility.
That is a miracle by definition,
by very definition.
He believes in miracles.
Okay, so if evolution is true,
why do we find fossilized footprints
of amphibians, salamanders,
15 million years before we find the salamander
that made the trail?
It's because when the flood was happening,
they were running up through the layers,
trying to survive,
and they were buried 15 million years later.
Trilobite trails,
we find trails of trilobites
working their way up through the mud,
trying to survive,
and their tracks were found
millions of years before their fossil.
That means they were trying to escape.
That proves the flood,
and that disproves the geologic column.
If you want to believe in the geologic column,
fine, live in a fantasy,
but it's been debunked.
So come up with something better.
I actually want to do a video sometime
on why mountains exist.
People say, well, I ask people,
prove evolution.
Just show me some proof.
Well, have you seen the Himalayas, Matt?
Have you seen the Mount Everest, Matt?
Have you seen all these mountains
that take so long to form?
False.
Absolutely false.
Look at these rock layers.
They are bent rock.
Can you bend hard rock?
They say, well, it's slow and gradual uplift.
That would be crumbled rock
that you're looking at right there.
If that was slow and gradual.
You know what this means
is that all of these layers were soft
and moist at the time of their formation.
And then, yeah, I would grant
that plate tectonics actually pushed them up
and they solidified in that event.
And there's no breakage in between here.
Look at these bent rock layers.
This is why mountains even exist
is because of the flood.
When you don't believe in the flood,
the burden of proof is on you
to explain why we have bent mountains,
completely bent.
Just beautiful photos here
that you can see with your own eyes.
Start believing what you can see
before anything else.
In that photo.
Yeah.
All that rock is eroded.
It's all eroded.
It's all rounded.
Yeah, it's all rounded.
Great point.
Rounded rock layers.
We find donut looking rocks.
Look, if this was all slow
and gradual uphill change,
it would be flat.
Right?
Didn't you see in 13 million years
the entire all mountains would be flat?
Two million years.
Yeah, just two million years
at the current rate of erosion,
everything would be flat.
Yet they want me to believe
that slow and gradual uphill change
is what created mountains?
Are you kidding me?
Mountains exist because of the flood.
If you don't believe in the flood,
then you're left with superstition.
So, whenever we bring up
polystrata fossils,
this is an important one.
This is their rescue device.
This is what they'll say in response.
Well, I think the trees
could stand there
for millions of years
while the layers
slowly formed around them.
It wasn't catastrophic.
It was just it stood there
and it, you know.
Okay, well then,
why is it that we find
polystrata fossils
with the trunk at the top?
Last I checked,
trees don't grow upside down.
That tree was yanked out
by the flood,
probably floated around
for a while,
flipped over,
and then sunk down in the mud,
and then all of a sudden
all of those layers solidified
in the sedimentary rock.
That's what we know happened.
There's no doubt about that.
Trees don't grow upside down.
Yes, brother.
Going back to the trilobites,
I just got to think.
They live in the ocean,
anyhow.
So, they don't have to fear a flood.
They only have to fear the mud
being sloshed around
because of the flood.
So, it couldn't have been
anything slow.
It had to have been rapid.
Right, that's a great point.
They say,
fossilization is about time.
No, false.
It's about conditions.
It's about what happened
to that fossil that preserved it.
It's not about time.
That's why we find
fossilized raindrops.
We find fossilized
ripples of water.
We find fossilized teddy bears.
We find fossilized sausage links,
literal sausage links.
Who would think?
Fossilized pickle.
We've got one in the Science Center,
right?
Fossilized pickle.
It takes 10 minutes.
It takes 10,000 years.
The pickle would have
been eaten by bugs or something,
would have deteriorated.
Now, here's a good point
that I think we should
always remember to bring up
is that there is no bioturbation
between the layers of the Grand Canyon.
If you had a layer form
and then you'd have animals
and vegetation growing
and burrowing down in,
you would expect to find that,
but we don't find it.
It doesn't exist.
It's not there.
You would expect all these creatures
during those ages
that existed during those ages
to burrow down in those holes
during those ages, right?
We don't find any animal holes
between the layers.
There is no ecosystem there.
Now, some atheist,
and I'm not going to name his name,
he goes,
well, these layers are hard rock, Matt.
This is the dumbest thing
I've ever heard you say.
These layers are hard rock,
so we don't expect animals
to burrow through them.
Is that why we find bent rock layers
with dinosaur tracks
that stomped through millions
of years of geologic time?
That means that all those layers
were soft simultaneously
before they solidified
into sedimentary rock.
If that dinosaur track
would have stepped on hard rock,
it would have shattered the hard rock.
These layers are hard rock, Matt.
This is the dumbest thing
I've ever heard Matt Powell say.
You know what?
That's the dumbest response
that I've ever heard,
and this is the evidence.
Like it or lump it,
this is the evidence.
It would have broke its foot
on the hard rock.
It would have shattered
the hard rock.
It wouldn't have bent.
It means that these layers
were soft and moist
and they were running
from the flood.
And if you look at the stride,
obviously they're running
from the flood.
Big Bang cosmology.
Let's talk about that
for a minute.
The Big Bang theory states
that all of the matter
in the entire cosmos,
the entire world was condensed
down to an infinite
testable amount of space
smaller than a single proton.
Everything that you observe, right?
And beyond the observable universe,
they say.
I feel like you almost
lose brain cells
even thinking about this stuff,
but people believe this, okay?
And then for no reason,
it just exploded.
In a billionth of a billionth
of a billionth of a second,
it went from the size
of that tiny proton
to something billions
of miles across.
What if I said
nothing caused an explosion?
They think there's no God.
What if I said nothing caused
the greatest explosion?
Nagasaki.
What if I said
nothing caused that?
What if an explosion
happened in here
and I said nothing caused it?
That's what they believe
is they think
that there was no God.
That means that nothing
would have had to cause
time, space, and matter
to explode.
And in a billionth
of a billionth of a second,
they go from that tiny point
to something billions
of miles across.
And again, I want to reiterate,
if you believe that,
you are gullible.
Gullible people
don't believe
silly things like that.
I even have an agnostic friend
who has said, you know what,
the Big Bang Theory
sounds so stupid.
It's agnostic.
He said, I recently watched
National Geographic.
He's like, I don't even know
how anybody
But in the beginning,
God created the heaven
and the earth as crazy
to these people.
That's just insane.
That's superstitious,
but yet they think
that the entire universe
popped into existence
uncaused.
Granite is the only rock
that we cannot create.
We can actually create diamonds,
but we cannot create granite.
There's granite rock
all over the world.
So something that we can't do
on purpose somehow happened
by accident, folks.
Something that we cannot do
on purpose.
Biogenesis.
On purpose,
we cannot create life,
but yet people want me
to think that it could have
happened by accident.
They never want to say
it happened by accident.
They want to say could have.
They always want to make you
have the burden of proof.
They always want to make it,
oh, I'm not making
any knowledge claims.
Yeah, you are.
When you say that evolution
is scientific.
Oh, birds.
Every bird in the sky, Matt,
is a dinosaur.
This is what they told me
last time I met with them.
I met with Daniel Bennett,
the vice president
of American Atheists.
Oh, Bennett?
Bennett.
Vice president of American
Atheists in Washington.
I sat down on the table with him
over there in a park.
I was interviewing him
for a film,
and unfortunately,
most of that footage got lost
because that hard drive
corrupted.
Yeah, you remember that?
Did you ever fix that,
by the way?
Yeah, it was toast.
Anyways, I sat down with this guy,
and he goes,
yeah, every bird in the sky
is a dinosaur.
Did you know that we find
that dinosaurs actually ate birds?
They didn't descend into birds,
devolve into chickens.
They ate them.
And we have proof for that.
But again, something
that we can't create on purpose
somehow happened by accident.
Well, it could have happened
by accident.
How?
Have you heard of
hopeful monsters?
The theory?
What's that?
There's no transition.
The dinosaurs would lay an egg
and that bird would just pop out.
Oh, yeah,
that is a teaching
that they have.
They think,
well, maybe evolution
happens so quick
that it can't be observed.
So maybe a reptile
laid an egg
and a bird hatched out.
Like Dr. Hovind said
in a seminar,
who did that bird marry?
And scales don't code
for feathers, okay?
That's just not how it works.
This is proof
that the devil himself exists.
The fact that you could
believe in evolution
and be so deceived
and so tricked
is proof that Satan deceives,
that you have been deceived
by the god of this world,
which have blinded
the minds of them
in which you believe not,
the Bible says.
They say,
you're so superstitious,
you believe in the devil?
You better believe I do
because he deceived you
into believing pond scum
to people evolution,
bacteria to biologists,
goo to you,
the zoo to you,
fish to fishermen.
That's what they think.
So don't come at me with,
oh, that's superstitious
to believe in that old book.
I'm glad that it is an old book
and that it's been around
for a long time.
You're admitting
by saying it's an old book
that it is historic
and that it is reliable.
When they say it's an old book
written a long time ago,
I'm glad God didn't leave us
without his word
for thousands of years.
Glad we have the word of God
and that we've had it
for a long time.
You're admitting
that it's been around
for a long time.
You say Jesus didn't exist.
98% of scholars
believe he existed.
So don't go against,
quit going against scholarship.
You know that if there wasn't
a Bible, they would all be,
well, if God really existed,
why didn't he write something
to let us know?
Yeah, right, yeah.
You can't win with them.
That's the thing.
You bring up these things.
We're dealing with people
who are disingenuous.
Even Richard Dawkins himself said,
we don't need evidence
for evolution to be true.
We just know it to be true.
Talk about believing things
without evidence.
He literally admits,
I don't need evidence
to believe it.
I just believe and receive
evolution theory.
He'd rather believe
that aliens succeeded.
Yeah, you're right.
He said, and I quote,
that it's possible
if you look at the details
of biochemistry
and molecular biology
that you could find
the signature
of some sort of designer.
But that designer
could well be
a higher intelligence
from elsewhere in the universe.
He said this in the movie
Expelled.
Go look it up.
I love that movie.
I actually had a chance
to watch Expelled.
Who made that movie again?
It was Ben Stein,
that Jewish guy.
I don't agree with Ben Stein,
obviously.
Jesus is the Christ, period.
I don't see eye to eye
with him on a lot of things,
but I did appreciate that film
because it absolutely
debunked Darwinism
at the fundamental of the theory.
Check out that film.
The Bible says that
my people are destroyed
for lack of knowledge.
So many people say
I left Christianity
because there wasn't
enough scientific evidence.
Well, what did you leave
to go believe?
Surfing rats?
Surfing monkeys?
Squids and octopi
that are aliens?
What did you choose
to believe instead?
Farting dinosaur chickens.
Farting dinosaur.
And that guy says,
well, Matt,
you've misrepresented us.
They tooted, he said,
and they warmed the environment.
That sounds even more stupid.
But it's the same thing
regardless.
It's all the same game.
It doesn't matter
how they shuffle
the deck of cards.
Look, they think it rained
for 2 million years.
Point this out to them.
When I bring forth
my Bible model,
they say it's your Bible model.
Ha ha.
Yeah, I bring forth
my Bible model.
And they try to argue
against it.
They say,
oh, it's crazy.
You think it rained
for 40 days and 40 nights.
That's what I tell them
that it did.
That's history right there.
It rained for 40 days
and 40 nights.
You, Google, rained
for millions of years.
They think it rained
So remember,
they think rain
created itself from nothing
with no God
and rained down
into the oceans
for 2 million years.
When there was no oxygen.
What did the first
single-celled organism eat?
That's what I'd like to know.
There was no organic material.
It just came alive.
What's it going to eat?
Hard rock?
Did life begin in the oceans?
We're drawing towards
the closing here
and we'll have a question
and answer here.
Did life,
and comments of course,
did life begin in the oceans?
The age-old question,
how did life begin,
has baffled humans for centuries.
Many scholars have theorized
how life began,
but in almost every case,
they have agreed on one thing.
In some way,
the creation of life
involved water.
Google sometime,
how does DNA get destroyed?
It says DNA is vulnerable.
It breaks down in sunlight
and in what?
Water.
They say the creation of life
involved water, Matt.
False.
The Bible says life began
on the land.
That's what the Bible says.
And if it's impossible
for life to start in water,
and if water destroys DNA,
who was right?
God or man?
God was right
when he said
that out of the dust of the ground,
he formed man
and breathed into his nostrils
the breath of life,
and man became a living soul.
That's powerful.
It's weak to say
that your ancestor was a fish.
I wish, I wish I were a fish.
Well, according to evolution,
you were a fish, Mr. Limpet,
millions of years ago.
How does DNA get destroyed?
DNA is vulnerable.
It breaks down in sunlight and water.
What was the prebiotic soup situation like?
Sunlight and water.
That's how it came alive.
No, false.
DNA is vulnerable.
It breaks down in sunlight and water.
These are scientific papers.
You don't have a rescue device for this.
Checkmate, checkmate, checkmate all day.
We win all day.
And if anybody tries to argue against this
after hearing this,
they're either really gullible
or they're a liar.
Only a liar would say,
oh, you've misrepresented us, Matt.
You have misrepresented evolution
when I show you exactly what they say.
We don't believe in surfing monkeys.
And then I point out that they do.
And then this guy goes,
surfing monkeys, surfing dinosaurs,
it's perfectly plausible.
I got a good laugh out of that.
You know, in a way,
I felt bad for the guy,
but I also got a good laugh out of it.
Short period comments.
So one of the reasons that we know
that the solar system is young
is because there are comets
that go about in an orbit
and they get close to the sun every 200 years
and they burn up about three to 5% each orbit.
Well, they can't be there
from millions of years ago
and they only last 10,000 years.
And so it's just great proof
that since they still exist
that the solar system that we have,
our Milky Way, the galaxy,
is less than 10,000 years old.
But if you ask an evolutionist
to explain these short period comments,
please explain the evidence
that we see, the facts.
They say the Oort cloud did it.
Okay, Google, is there any evidence
that the Oort cloud exists?
Google it.
The first thing that pops up
is that there is no evidence
that the Oort cloud exists.
Folks, they believe things without evidence,
but yet these are the people that say,
give me the evidence, Matt.
We need evidence.
We need answers.
If you were really looking for the answer,
you wouldn't be believing such nonsense.
They say, why do you believe
in something you can't see?
There's absolutely no evidence
for the Oort cloud, okay?
There is evidence for God.
They say, what's your evidence for God?
Time, space, and matter being here right now
is proof that God exists.
The fact that I'm sitting here right now
is proof that God exists.
The fact that this matter and energy
that we see around us exists
is proof that God exists
because things don't come into existence
on their own by magic.
They say, well, where did your God come from?
What do you mean come from?
He didn't come from anywhere.
If he had to come from somewhere,
that means he's created.
You can't create something that's eternal.
Who created God?
That's like asking who created the thing
that created everything
and that by definition cannot be created.
Who created the thing that cannot be created?
That's what they're asking.
Who painted the painter?
Who designed the architect?
Who built the builder?
It's a logical question to ask who created God.
It's false.
It's a false dichotomy.
Everything about it is false.
For decades, scientists have theorized
that beyond the edge of the solar system,
there lies a massive cloud of icy planetesimals
known as the Oort cloud.
This cloud is believed to be where comets originate from.
However, no evidence has been provided
to confirm that the Oort cloud exists.
These atheists that respond to us
are like the Oort cloud did it.
The Oort cloud, there's no evidence for it.
According to physics.org,
Google, all the scientific papers.
We infer it.
Yeah.
Speculation.
That's not science.
You know, like I said, I could go on all day about this.
You know, kids get curious.
They ask questions.
They say they will type in on their iPhone,
someday your kid will do this.
They will ask where did life come from?
They might even ask Google.
And Google will tell them it rained down into the oceans.
Again, rain and water destroys life.
The very thing that destroys life
is what they think created life.
And you need to protect your children
from this public school system.
If you send them to the public school system,
you had better give them the other side
because kids oftentimes are not the smartest.
You know, they can be smart,
but they a lot of times believe what they're told.
They're taught what to think, not how to think.
And then at the end of the course,
they think that they know how to think.
A lot of the people that I debate
think they know how to think.
They don't know how to think.
They know what to think.
And they've been told what to think
instead of how to think.
And they'll Google where did life come from?
And they will take this as Bible.
Oh, man, life came from a shower.
That's what this says.
And they'll believe that.
Hitler said, if you tell a lie big enough,
loud enough, and often enough, what?
People will believe it.
And people are more ready to believe a big lie
than a little one.
It's gotta be big.
He says, make the lie big.
Make it simple.
Keep on saying it.
And eventually they will believe it.
Eventually they'll believe it.
He says, he who owns the youth gains the future.
Let me tell you something, folks.
They are after our kids.
They are after the children.
They're after the youth.
He who owns the youth gains the future.
This genetically modified skeptic on YouTube
who claims, oh, I used to be a Kent Hovind fan.
I used to believe in what Dr. Dino was saying,
but now I no longer believe
because I started studying science.
This guy literally put out a video
that said on the thumbnail,
share this video with all of your Christian friends.
Share it, share it, share it with the Christians.
They're on a mission to attack God.
They're on a mission to attack the Bible and Christianity.
They want to shut us down.
They are the enemy, period.
They are an enemy of the cross of Christ.
The Bible says whose mouths must be stopped.
That's where people like Mia and other people come in.
We will shut them down, period.
Their lives will go no further.
And the fact that they put out videos
and they define themselves as an atheist,
what if I, it proves they hate God.
They say, well, I can't hate what doesn't exist, Matt.
Look, what if I said that I'm a non-fisherman?
You say, Matt, tell me about yourself.
I'm a non-fisherman and I wrote books against fishing.
Doesn't that mean I hate fishing?
Yes.
If you define yourself, I'm a non-believer
and you're going to write books
and put out content against God,
you know what that means?
You hate God and you believe in him.
Aaron Ross said, if it was the God of the Bible that existed,
I would not worship it.
That's what he said.
So does that mean that Aaron Ross is really a truth seeker?
He admits that if it's the God of the Bible,
he says, I won't worship it.
I'll have nothing to do with it.
That means he doesn't care what the facts are.
He will pretend to care.
Please show me the evidence.
And he'll put out these videos.
He'll say not one Christian has ever
provided any evidence for God.
You know what?
Say that on judgment day,
when every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord, your knee will bow.
My knee will bow.
And we will all confess that he is Lord.
Amen.
Darwinism is so weak and I want to end it here.
Who has ever seen these stickers when they go down the road?
Very common.
Yeah, Matt and Josh has seen them.
I've seen them all the time.
Look, anybody that puts a Darwin fish on their car,
that person might as well just tell me,
I have not actually looked into Darwin at all.
Darwin could not even get a job.
You're putting a sticker of a guy that could not even get a job.
His dad had to get him a job.
He was such a failure in life, an unpaid job as a comforter
for a ship captain as they're floating about near the Galapagos.
What a joke.
This is the man that they say is so scientific.
They have a statue of Darwin.
Oh, so amazing.
I got to see the Darwin statue.
Oh, really?
Darwin said, and I quote,
often a cold shudder has run through me
and I've asked myself whether I've devoted myself to a fantasy.
Charles Darwin was afraid that he was living in a fantasy.
You know, brother Parsons, if I got up here and I said,
you know, Will, it's been great giving this message here tonight,
but I'm afraid I'm living in a fantasy.
Would you trust anything that I'm saying?
No.
So when Darwin says, I'm afraid I'm living a fantasy,
why in the world would you trust somebody like that?
Why not trust somebody that said, I'm the way, the truth, and the life?
Somebody who spoke with absolutes,
not somebody who says, I'm afraid I'm living in a fantasy.
Jesus didn't speak like that.
He said, I'm the way, the truth, and the life.
No man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Jesus spoke in absolutes.
Darwin said, I'm afraid I'm living in a fantasy.
Who are you going to trust, folks?
Are you going to trust God, or are you going to trust man?
Are you going to trust the man who couldn't get a job?
The man who was a failure in life?
The man who literally went onto a ship with a bunch of, you know,
of guys, landed on the Galapagos, saw a couple of finches,
and concluded that finches and bananas were related,
just because finches speciated.
He's the, Bill Nye says, he's the number one discoverer
in all of science, Darwin is.
Oh, what a joke.
Really, that's your number one discoverer, huh, Bill Nye?
The man who said that he's afraid he's living in a fantasy.
They say, well, Matt, we don't believe we came from Iraq.
That's a straw man.
Rare meteorite that fell on a UK driveway may contain ingredients for life.
What are they implying right there?
They are implying that life, this just came out,
that life started from a rock, that that is your ancestor.
Matt, it's so crazy that you believe that the Virgin Mary conceived,
you believe a rock conceived.
There's so many ingredients for life,
and even if you put the ingredients together, proteins,
DNA, chromosomes, if you put everything together for life
and jumbled it up, it would not assemble itself.
They can't, not even with all the most high-tech instruments.
Again, it's something, what they believe is that something
that we can't do on purpose somehow happened by accident.
And they say, well, one day, Matt, we'll create life,
and we'll prove that you're wrong.
No, you're just proving that I'm right, because if you create life,
that proves it takes intelligence to create life.
I've always said that.
It means it had to have a creator, okay?
Ingredients in the space rock that fell to Earth that contain life,
and it contained liquid water, folks.
Oh, great.
That'll really help the situation,
something that destroys the ingredients for life.
I'm going to go for just a few more minutes.
I apologize.
I just, this is important, because this is the fundamentals of the,
not the faith, but this is the,
well, really, it is a fundamental of the faith
that we defend what the Bible says.
We have to defend it at all costs.
The theistic evolution crowd and the old age crowd,
we need to get them on our side.
I'm not trying to be down on you guys, but get on our side.
It's a real good time to be a young Earth creationist, amen?
It's a real good time, because we have the facts on our side.
Our model is superior.
In 2003, the Human Genome Project was completed,
and they found that we lose one to two percent of our information
as human beings per generation.
So what that means is I have lost one to two percent
of my dad's genetic information
as it was transmitted through birth, right?
And so my son has one to two percent less than me.
We are losing our genetic information.
You can only lose so much before you've lost it all.
And atheists, they try to go back and forth with you on this.
And I think that the best way to respond is that per generation,
we have mutations that accumulate in populations over time.
What that means is that, you know, brother,
your daughter has, you know, 100 more mutations than you, right?
We are increasingly becoming mutant,
and natural selection cannot weed out these mutations.
If you keep having mutations,
build up in populations over time,
that will cause us to go extinct as a population.
So we should, you know, Dr. Kondrashov,
I think from one of the bigger universities, I think Harvard,
said, why are we not dead 100 times over?
We should be dead 100 times over if evolution were true.
They say, Matt, you're given all these facts and stuff
and all this misrepresentation.
What about our side, Matt?
If you show them our side,
if you show them our side,
you know that people will leave Christianity in the droves.
Okay, I'll show your side with a three-word Google search.
When monkeys surfed.
People say, Matt, how do you get people to doubt evolution?
I saw on Google, when monkeys surfed.
These are the first things that pop up when monkeys surf to South America.
Look, we've talked about this so many times,
that these evolutionists, they believe in literal surfing animals,
that they manage to hitch a lift on floating rafts.
Again, the flood is what caused all these fossils to get deposited.
There's low genetic diversity in all humans and in all creatures.
If mutation through natural selection is why we have new creatures
and new species, then we would have tons of genetic diversity.
A mutation causes diversity by definition.
Why do we have virtually zero, almost no genetic diversity?
It's all mutations and negative.
Yeah, amen.
People say, Matt, what if a monkey has a bunch of mutations?
You think it'll turn it into a human?
If a monkey has a bunch of mutations, it's going to get Down syndrome.
Mutations are the reasons for Down syndrome.
Cancer, autism.
But according to evolution, that's what makes us better.
Those mutations that get selected through the selection process
and where the genes get better over time.
Just imagine.
Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing?
Yeah, a mutation is a change in our DNA sequence due to what?
Mistakes.
When DNA is copied.
Their hero is a mistake.
They think mistakes are what make us better.
Mutations can occur during DNA replication
if errors are made and not corrected in time.
People always say, you're misrepresenting what a mutation is.
Mutation's not an error.
Biology for majors 101.
Go read it.
They've watched the X-Men movies too many times.
It's funny because they think you go from a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to mankind.
They think, well, if you mutate.
I used to like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but that was fiction.
They say they're mutant.
That makes us better.
Mutations are deleterious.
They're an error.
Look, the reason mutations exist is because of sin.
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin,
so death pass upon all men, for that all have sinned.
Mutations exist because of sin.
People say, you mean to say we'd live forever?
If we hadn't sinned, absolutely.
No mutations would have been introduced to the gene pool.
And if you don't have mutations, you don't have errors.
You have a perfect code, right?
Yeah, we would have continued in the garden and one day we'll be restored.
Look, let's debunk radiometric dating and call it a night.
So they say, well, radiometric dating, this is what proves our side.
Look, you can create radiometric isotopes in a lab
and the next day they date as millions of years old.
They're brand new isotopes and they date as millions of years old.
And you're assuming that there was no daughter element, if you will,
in the rock that was created.
No parent or daughter element in the rock that was contaminated
when it solidified, right?
So science is not based on assumptions.
It's based on fact. It's what we know.
The definition of science is to know what we observe.
Look, your founder was a full-blown racist.
At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries,
the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace the what?
Savage races throughout the world.
Darwin was a racist.
The Bible says there's neither Jew nor Greek, bond nor free, male nor female.
You are all one in Christ.
I suppose we will probably end it there.
Do we have any questions or comments?
Yes, there's a question about, can you explain blaspheming?
Yeah, Jesus said, if I be lifted up, I will draw all men into myself.
And what that means is that God gives everybody a chance to be saved.
Well, if you reject the Spirit of God, Jesus said,
who so blaspheme that the Son will have forgiveness in this life
and in the world to come?
If you reject the Son, absolutely.
Absolutely.
But if you reject the Spirit of God, which is wooing every man to himself,
at some point, God will say, all right, you're done.
You have blasphemed the Spirit and that person cannot be saved.
Extremely rare. Extremely rare.
But it does happen where people blaspheme the Spirit of God.
Jesus says you won't be forgiven in this life or in the life to come.
Any other questions or comments?
I just think that it's amazing how much the common atheist
matches up with Hitler and his beliefs.
Yeah.
And with all the racism.
Yeah.
How much that?
You're so right.
It is racism.
They say we evolved from Africans.
Okay.
Wow.
We evolved from Africans?
That's what they say.
That's literally what they're saying.
They're saying Africans are inferior.
But in the Bible, if we all came from two people, that makes sense.
Yeah, they do go by what?
They say we're not like Hitler.
Oh, yeah?
How about abortion?
They say, well, remember 9-11.
Remember what happened?
No, remember yesterday.
That's how many people we killed yesterday in an abortion clinic.
They say remember 9-11.
No, remember yesterday.
And remember the day before that.
Don't come at me with, oh, we're not like Hitler.
You know what?
Like I said, we have murdered and massacred.
God is angry with America.
God is angry with this country.
But I take comfort in knowing there's 7,000 men that have not bowed the knee to Baal.
I believe some of those men are in this room right now.
I believe that.
Any other comments or questions?
Yeah.
I was going to say, you was talking about earlier about how he was talking about what
he must have said that he must have said this.
You give them evidence, the reason they get mad at them is evidence they can't be screwed.
They want you to give them evidence that they can argue with and be screwed.
Right.
And they can't do that.
Yeah.
Well, there are none so blind as those who will not see.
You can show them evidence.
The Bible says that a foolish man will stiffen his neck, right?
And shall be destroyed and that without remedy.
Willingly ignorant.
Like Kent Hovind has always said, dumb on purpose.
That's what we're up against.
Any other questions or comments?
Last one.
Do you disagree with Dr. Hovind on anything biblically?
Of course.
I disagree with many people on many things.
I disagree with everyone in this room on something.
There's going to be a disagreement somewhere.
On the Bible?
I don't know.
The Bible says that questions that contend to strife and this disorder to avoid, right?
So I think, yeah, there are things that him and I might disagree on.
But at the end of the day, who cares?
As long as we believe in the fundamentals.
It's not like Kent Hovind and I would disagree on the coming of Christ or that Jesus is God.
These are the fundamentals that you have to believe.
The King James Bible.
Those are the fundamentals that you have to believe in order to have fellowship with somebody.
We believe that.
So, yeah.
I'm sure if Doc and I talk long enough, we'd have disagreements.
We'd talk about it.
Anything else from here?
Yeah, as long as it's not salvation.
The Bible says, let every man be persuaded in his own mind, right?
And so what that means is that there are certain things that we can be persuaded, that we can let other people be persuaded on.
It's fine.
If somebody is compelled to do something a certain way, that's up to them.
As long as it's not sin, whatever.
People say, well, a toilet paper roll should go this way.
I don't care.
I don't care if it's over the top or underneath.
Just give me the toilet roll when I need it.
It does the same job.
It doesn't matter.
Any other questions or comments?
All right.
Guys, thank you so much for tuning in.
Share this content.
Share Dr. Hovind's content.
Make sure that you preach the gospel to every creature.
Let's reach the world.
I believe that we can.
The Bible says that there were 12 apostles that turned the world upside down.
I believe that we could do it right here at DAL, even if people didn't share our videos.
People say, what if you get shut down?
I don't care.
I'll just go door to door and preach the gospel to people.
If they don't want to hear it, that's okay.
I'll just walk away.
God bless, folks.
You all have a great night.
Awesome.
