00:00:12,978 --> 00:00:15,479
{\an8}There was one place
on this earth

3
00:00:15,548 --> 00:00:17,315
{\an8}that was absolutely perfect,

4
00:00:17,384 --> 00:00:18,849
and it was a garden.

5
00:00:18,918 --> 00:00:20,951
The Garden of Eden.

6
00:00:21,020 --> 00:00:23,153
- Very good.
- The Garden of Eden.

7
00:00:23,222 --> 00:00:26,390
And the story that we're gonna
hear about on the Garden of Eden,

8
00:00:26,459 --> 00:00:29,593
comes from
the book of Genesis...

9
00:00:29,662 --> 00:00:31,129
in the what?

10
00:00:31,198 --> 00:00:32,198
The Bible.

11
00:00:32,265 --> 00:00:33,297
- The Bible.
- Very good.

12
00:00:33,367 --> 00:00:34,698
In the Bible.

13
00:00:34,767 --> 00:00:37,201
<i>For those Christians
who believe their Bible</i>

14
00:00:37,270 --> 00:00:40,037
<i>is the word of God,
the literal truth,</i>

15
00:00:40,106 --> 00:00:43,274
<i>one man is held up
as the Antichrist...</i>

16
00:00:43,343 --> 00:00:45,375
<i>Charles Darwin...</i>

17
00:00:45,444 --> 00:00:47,611
<i>for leading millions
of Christians astray</i>

18
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,146
<i>with a very different
account of Creation:</i>

19
00:00:50,215 --> 00:00:52,850
<i>evolution by natural selection.</i>

20
00:00:55,788 --> 00:00:59,323
<i>It seems outrageous to them
that Darwin was laid to rest</i>

21
00:00:59,392 --> 00:01:01,691
<i>here in Westminster Abbey...</i>

22
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,665
<i>the highest honor the Church
of England could offer.</i>

23
00:01:40,366 --> 00:01:43,166
We believe in creation
because of our faith

24
00:01:43,235 --> 00:01:46,537
{\an8}in the Lord Jesus Christ
and God's word, the Holy Bible.

25
00:01:46,606 --> 00:01:47,504
{\an8}Amen?

26
00:01:47,573 --> 00:01:49,106
Amen.
Evolution, I believe,

27
00:01:49,175 --> 00:01:52,176
was a way for the atheist
to devise a method

28
00:01:52,245 --> 00:01:53,476
of how we got here.

29
00:01:53,545 --> 00:01:57,615
And it wasn't by God,
and it was all by accident.

30
00:01:57,684 --> 00:02:00,584
If the theory of evolution
is a fact,

31
00:02:00,653 --> 00:02:03,421
this Bible must be false,
so we're all

32
00:02:03,490 --> 00:02:06,456
stupid ignoramuses.

33
00:02:06,525 --> 00:02:09,060
My friend, it takes more faith
to believe in a theory,

34
00:02:09,129 --> 00:02:11,061
an unproven theory,
than to believe

35
00:02:11,130 --> 00:02:14,432
in the beginning, God created
the heavens and the earth.

36
00:02:14,501 --> 00:02:16,066
Amen.

37
00:02:16,135 --> 00:02:20,371
{\an8}I think one of the major
questions we run into today is,

38
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,507
{\an8}is evolution really compatible

39
00:02:23,576 --> 00:02:26,476
with biblical Christianity?

40
00:02:26,545 --> 00:02:30,447
And I believe the answer is
just unquestionably no.

41
00:02:30,516 --> 00:02:34,318
{\an8}There's no dispute.
God has determined what is true.

42
00:02:34,387 --> 00:02:36,286
{\an8}And he's told us
what he did in Genesis,

43
00:02:36,355 --> 00:02:37,888
{\an8}the order in which he did it.

44
00:02:37,957 --> 00:02:39,990
And he expects us to believe it.

45
00:02:40,059 --> 00:02:41,992
{\an8}<i>In the beginning,</i>

46
00:02:42,061 --> 00:02:45,496
{\an8}<i>God created the heaven
and the earth.</i>

47
00:02:45,565 --> 00:02:49,933
<i>And God said,
"Let there be light."</i>

48
00:02:50,002 --> 00:02:53,904
<i>And God said, "Let the earth
bring forth grass,</i>

49
00:02:53,973 --> 00:02:55,672
<i>the herb yielding seed</i>

50
00:02:55,741 --> 00:02:58,241
<i>and the fruit tree
yielding fruit."</i>

51
00:02:58,310 --> 00:03:01,845
<i>And God said,
"Let the waters bring forth</i>

52
00:03:01,914 --> 00:03:04,749
<i>abundantly the moving creature
that has life."</i>

53
00:03:04,818 --> 00:03:07,050
<i>And God said,</i>

54
00:03:07,119 --> 00:03:10,020
<i>"Let us make man
in our image."</i>

55
00:03:10,089 --> 00:03:12,326
<i>Male and female he created them.</i>

56
00:03:13,926 --> 00:03:15,993
<i>And God said to them,</i>

57
00:03:16,062 --> 00:03:18,296
<i>"Be fruitful and multiply,</i>

58
00:03:18,365 --> 00:03:21,101
<i>and fill the earth
and subdue it.</i>

59
00:03:22,135 --> 00:03:23,200
<i>And have dominion over</i>

60
00:03:23,269 --> 00:03:24,301
<i>the fish of the sea</i>

61
00:03:24,370 --> 00:03:25,836
<i>and over the birds of the air</i>

62
00:03:25,905 --> 00:03:29,810
<i>and over every living thing
that moves upon the earth."</i>

63
00:03:31,577 --> 00:03:33,611
<i>And the evening and the morning</i>

64
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,816
<i>were the sixth day.</i>

65
00:03:38,550 --> 00:03:40,918
<i>According to the
latest Gallup Poll,</i>

66
00:03:40,987 --> 00:03:43,019
<i>46% of Americans</i>

67
00:03:43,088 --> 00:03:45,622
<i>believe the Genesis account
of creation.</i>

68
00:03:45,691 --> 00:03:50,093
All right, now look
right out here at me and smile.

69
00:03:50,162 --> 00:03:52,897
Smile. Smile.

70
00:03:52,966 --> 00:03:54,732
Smile.

71
00:03:54,801 --> 00:03:58,302
Now look up at the dinosaurs
in that window.

72
00:04:01,208 --> 00:04:02,807
Look afraid!

73
00:04:02,876 --> 00:04:04,175
Look very afraid!

74
00:04:06,211 --> 00:04:10,647
{\an8}<i>The Lord God planted
a garden in Eden.</i>

75
00:04:10,716 --> 00:04:13,417
<i>At no time in the past 300 years</i>

76
00:04:13,486 --> 00:04:15,952
<i>has there been such
a concerted effort in support</i>

77
00:04:16,021 --> 00:04:18,989
<i>of a literal interpretation
of the Bible</i>

78
00:04:19,058 --> 00:04:22,593
<i>and especially the Genesis
account of Adam and Eve</i>

79
00:04:22,662 --> 00:04:23,827
<i>and a six-day creation.</i>

80
00:04:23,896 --> 00:04:26,130
<i>The Lord God said,</i>

81
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:29,333
{\an8}<i>"It is not good that the man
should be alone.</i>

82
00:04:29,402 --> 00:04:32,469
{\an8}<i>I will make a helper
fit for him."</i>

83
00:04:32,538 --> 00:04:37,274
<i>And he took one of his ribs
and made it into a woman.</i>

84
00:04:37,343 --> 00:04:39,810
<i>Creationism is
the fastest-growing branch</i>

85
00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:42,579
<i>of Christianity.</i>

86
00:04:42,648 --> 00:04:44,983
<i>Not just here
in the United States,</i>

87
00:04:45,052 --> 00:04:47,184
<i>but worldwide.</i>

88
00:04:47,253 --> 00:04:49,687
{\an8}I choose to believe
that the Bible

89
00:04:49,756 --> 00:04:52,022
{\an8}is the word of God,
and it contains

90
00:04:52,091 --> 00:04:54,691
first and secondhand witnesses
of these events,

91
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,161
so I can believe it
so much more than I can believe

92
00:04:58,230 --> 00:05:00,898
the secular scientists who
weren't there to see these things.

93
00:05:00,967 --> 00:05:02,767
{\an8}If somewhere within the Bible

94
00:05:02,836 --> 00:05:06,304
{\an8}I were to find a passage
that said "two-plus-two

95
00:05:06,373 --> 00:05:08,272
equals five,"

96
00:05:08,341 --> 00:05:11,375
I wouldn't question
what I'm reading in the Bible.

97
00:05:11,444 --> 00:05:14,711
I would believe it,
accept it is true

98
00:05:14,780 --> 00:05:17,415
and then do my best to work
it out and to understand it.

99
00:05:17,484 --> 00:05:20,550
{\an8}I can't even fathom

100
00:05:20,619 --> 00:05:23,954
{\an8}coming from this little thing
that crawled on the ground...

101
00:05:24,023 --> 00:05:27,858
to apes to being human.

102
00:05:27,927 --> 00:05:31,428
It just doesn't...
It sounds crazy to me.

103
00:05:31,497 --> 00:05:34,197
{\an8}When you have generations
of people being taught

104
00:05:34,266 --> 00:05:37,768
{\an8}that evolution's fact, and
therefore Genesis is not true,

105
00:05:37,837 --> 00:05:39,537
and you have to
reinterpret the Bible,

106
00:05:39,606 --> 00:05:41,272
why shouldn't we do
what we want to do?

107
00:05:41,341 --> 00:05:43,407
There's no absolutes,
therefore we determine

108
00:05:43,476 --> 00:05:44,775
what is right and what is wrong.

109
00:05:48,414 --> 00:05:49,513
{\an8}<i>In the Creation Museum,</i>

110
00:05:49,582 --> 00:05:51,748
{\an8}<i>when we walk
into Graffiti Alley,</i>

111
00:05:51,817 --> 00:05:53,984
{\an8}<i>it's to represent a culture</i>

112
00:05:54,053 --> 00:05:57,187
<i>where one has taken away
a foundation of absolutes.</i>

113
00:05:57,256 --> 00:05:59,590
<i>So why not abort a human being?</i>

114
00:05:59,659 --> 00:06:01,058
<i>After all,
get rid of spare cats,</i>

115
00:06:01,127 --> 00:06:02,059
<i>get rid of spare kids.</i>

116
00:06:02,128 --> 00:06:03,827
<i>What is the difference?</i>

117
00:06:03,896 --> 00:06:05,996
<i>Why shouldn't marriage
be two men, two women</i>

118
00:06:06,065 --> 00:06:07,898
<i>or whatever you wanna
make it to be?</i>

119
00:06:10,136 --> 00:06:13,237
I think that Darwin knew.
I think he knew...

120
00:06:13,306 --> 00:06:15,372
"What I'm teaching
is going to have

121
00:06:15,441 --> 00:06:18,108
a profound effect
on mankind."

122
00:06:18,177 --> 00:06:21,411
And it's the kind of effect
that moves people away

123
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,582
from trusting God,
trusting the God of the Bible

124
00:06:24,651 --> 00:06:27,551
into trusting man
and the words of man.

125
00:06:27,620 --> 00:06:30,621
And he made a decision...
"I'm going on with this."

126
00:06:35,927 --> 00:06:39,229
<i>- Considering how fiercely
- I've been attacked,</i>

127
00:06:39,298 --> 00:06:43,768
<i>it seems ludicrous that I once
intended to be a clergyman.</i>

128
00:06:45,238 --> 00:06:47,971
<i>I did not then
in the least doubt</i>

129
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,741
<i>the strict and literal truth
of every word in the Bible,</i>

130
00:06:51,810 --> 00:06:55,813
<i>and soon persuaded myself that
our creed must be fully accepted.</i>

131
00:06:55,882 --> 00:06:57,618
The blood of Christ.

132
00:06:59,151 --> 00:07:00,962
<i>I don't believe he did
believe all of the Bible.</i>

133
00:07:00,986 --> 00:07:05,088
<i>He didn't really believe in
six literal days of creation.</i>

134
00:07:05,157 --> 00:07:07,657
<i>If you assume those days
of creation are ordinary days</i>

135
00:07:07,726 --> 00:07:10,194
and you take those
genealogies in the Bible,

136
00:07:10,263 --> 00:07:12,563
you can only get
approximately 6,000 years.

137
00:07:12,632 --> 00:07:14,098
You can't get millions of years.

138
00:07:14,167 --> 00:07:17,200
If the idea of millions of years
hadn't have been popularized

139
00:07:17,269 --> 00:07:19,035
in the late 18th,
early 19th century,

140
00:07:19,104 --> 00:07:23,040
Darwin could never have
popularized his ideas of evolution.

141
00:07:23,109 --> 00:07:25,676
{\an8}No person of the first rank

142
00:07:25,745 --> 00:07:28,412
{\an8}in professional
geological circles

143
00:07:28,481 --> 00:07:30,880
{\an8}in Darwin's day
to whom he was exposed,

144
00:07:30,949 --> 00:07:34,384
believed that the earth was
very, very recently created

145
00:07:34,453 --> 00:07:37,721
with life on Earth
in six 24-hour days.

146
00:07:37,790 --> 00:07:39,802
{\an8}You have to think about
the 19th century as a period

147
00:07:39,826 --> 00:07:41,258
{\an8}of enormous digging.

148
00:07:42,962 --> 00:07:44,373
<i>If you think about
the canal systems,</i>

149
00:07:44,397 --> 00:07:47,164
<i>if you think about
the building work,</i>

150
00:07:47,233 --> 00:07:50,667
<i>the laying of gas,
the building of railways...</i>

151
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,973
<i>this is a landscape
that was being dug up.</i>

152
00:07:54,874 --> 00:07:57,908
<i>Everywhere fossils
were coming up.</i>

153
00:07:57,977 --> 00:08:00,110
<i>Really extraordinary things
like mammoths</i>

154
00:08:00,179 --> 00:08:02,349
<i>and plesiosaurs.</i>

155
00:08:03,483 --> 00:08:05,915
<i>That gave evidence of</i>

156
00:08:05,984 --> 00:08:09,419
<i>very, very early life forms
in the very lowest rock strata,</i>

157
00:08:09,488 --> 00:08:11,856
<i>which people were now
beginning to understand</i>

158
00:08:11,925 --> 00:08:14,258
as being deep time...

159
00:08:14,327 --> 00:08:17,628
but also an enormous
diversity of species

160
00:08:17,697 --> 00:08:20,865
that was no longer represented
on the earth at all.

161
00:08:20,933 --> 00:08:25,435
So enormous numbers
of extinct species,

162
00:08:25,504 --> 00:08:27,003
and people had
to make sense of that.

163
00:08:27,072 --> 00:08:29,218
And you couldn't make sense
of it within the time frame

164
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:30,841
that the church was promoting.

165
00:08:30,910 --> 00:08:33,644
Darwin didn't work

166
00:08:33,713 --> 00:08:35,879
with any geologist who doubted

167
00:08:35,948 --> 00:08:38,582
<i>that the earth was
unimaginably old</i>

168
00:08:38,651 --> 00:08:41,252
<i>and full of the relics
of extinct animals.</i>

169
00:08:42,989 --> 00:08:44,922
<i>At Cambridge, his role models</i>

170
00:08:44,991 --> 00:08:48,592
<i>were clerical naturalists.</i>

171
00:08:48,661 --> 00:08:52,897
<i>These men were devout,
they were ethically upright,</i>

172
00:08:52,966 --> 00:08:55,565
they were
professionally ambitious

173
00:08:55,634 --> 00:08:58,435
and they did science
for the glory of God.

174
00:08:58,504 --> 00:09:01,405
And it was from them
Darwin learned

175
00:09:01,474 --> 00:09:04,775
his ambition in science,
and then came his chance

176
00:09:04,844 --> 00:09:07,912
to sail around the world
on HMS Beagle.

177
00:09:13,185 --> 00:09:15,152
{\an8}It took five years,
started just three months

178
00:09:15,221 --> 00:09:17,453
{\an8}after he graduated
from Cambridge,

179
00:09:17,522 --> 00:09:21,195
{\an8}when he really was rather idly
wondering what to do with his life.

180
00:09:22,795 --> 00:09:25,429
<i>He was invited onboard
not as a naturalist,</i>

181
00:09:25,498 --> 00:09:28,536
<i>but as the gentleman companion
to the captain.</i>

182
00:09:30,002 --> 00:09:32,704
<i>The voyage of the Beagle
was the most important voyage</i>

183
00:09:32,772 --> 00:09:34,805
<i>ever taken.</i>

184
00:09:34,874 --> 00:09:37,975
What I find reading
Darwin's own accounts

185
00:09:38,044 --> 00:09:41,645
{\an8}is his excitement, his delight,

186
00:09:41,714 --> 00:09:44,215
{\an8}his love in the natural world.

187
00:09:44,284 --> 00:09:46,984
<i>He was in a kind of paradise.</i>

188
00:09:49,121 --> 00:09:52,857
<i>Among the scenes which have
deeply impressed on my mind,</i>

189
00:09:52,926 --> 00:09:55,326
<i>none exceeded in sublimity</i>

190
00:09:55,395 --> 00:09:59,596
<i>the primeval forests
un-defaced by the hand of man,</i>

191
00:09:59,665 --> 00:10:04,067
<i>temples filled with the varied
productions of the God of nature.</i>

192
00:10:04,136 --> 00:10:07,905
<i>No one can stand in
these solitudes unmoved</i>

193
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,240
<i>and not feel
there is more to man</i>

194
00:10:10,309 --> 00:10:12,546
<i>than the mere breath
of his body.</i>

195
00:10:14,247 --> 00:10:16,747
In this voyage,
which was nearly five years,

196
00:10:16,816 --> 00:10:20,218
the longest stretch of time
Darwin spent onboard

197
00:10:20,287 --> 00:10:22,253
was, I think, 48 days.

198
00:10:22,322 --> 00:10:25,089
And he never wasted
an opportunity.

199
00:10:25,158 --> 00:10:26,924
As soon as the ship
came into port,

200
00:10:26,993 --> 00:10:29,092
he'd buy a horse, rent a horse,

201
00:10:29,161 --> 00:10:31,261
sometimes with companions,
sometimes on his own,

202
00:10:31,330 --> 00:10:34,064
and go up high into
the foothills of the Andes

203
00:10:34,133 --> 00:10:38,102
<i>or around the coast
looking at coastal formations,</i>

204
00:10:38,171 --> 00:10:39,403
<i>into deserts...</i>

205
00:10:39,472 --> 00:10:43,007
<i>all the time, describing,
describing, describing,</i>

206
00:10:43,076 --> 00:10:44,809
<i>noting it down.</i>

207
00:10:44,878 --> 00:10:47,979
He regarded it
as his duty to do this.

208
00:10:48,048 --> 00:10:49,780
This was why he was there,

209
00:10:49,849 --> 00:10:52,516
and he wasn't going to waste
an hour of his time

210
00:10:52,585 --> 00:10:54,151
idling around.

211
00:10:54,220 --> 00:10:56,820
He must go and explore
that rock face

212
00:10:56,889 --> 00:10:58,321
and see what
he could find there.

213
00:10:58,390 --> 00:11:02,493
Darwin wasn't just interested
in the crust of the earth

214
00:11:02,562 --> 00:11:05,028
and the formation
of its features,

215
00:11:05,097 --> 00:11:08,398
he was interested
in the remains of life

216
00:11:08,467 --> 00:11:11,034
within that crust...
extinct animals.

217
00:11:11,103 --> 00:11:12,937
<i>Every new landscape that he saw,</i>

218
00:11:13,006 --> 00:11:14,572
<i>every new bit of scenery,</i>

219
00:11:14,641 --> 00:11:17,942
<i>every new diversity
of species group</i>

220
00:11:18,011 --> 00:11:20,310
<i>gave him more
and more evidence that,</i>

221
00:11:20,379 --> 00:11:24,348
no, this didn't happen
in one great snap of creation.

222
00:11:24,417 --> 00:11:27,051
<i>These extraordinary mountains
and lakes</i>

223
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,387
<i>and coastal landscapes
had all shifted imperceptibly</i>

224
00:11:30,456 --> 00:11:32,626
<i>over millions
and millions of years.</i>

225
00:11:33,959 --> 00:11:35,892
<i>But while all this
was happening,</i>

226
00:11:35,961 --> 00:11:40,134
<i>Darwin was experiencing
profound changes within himself.</i>

227
00:11:42,368 --> 00:11:47,337
Darwin had left the comforts of
his upper-class English existence,

228
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:49,340
and for the first time
in his life,

229
00:11:49,409 --> 00:11:53,511
he was faced with extraordinary
violence and cruelty.

230
00:11:53,580 --> 00:11:56,146
<i>When he was in Chile,</i>

231
00:11:56,215 --> 00:11:58,682
<i>there was a major earthquake,</i>

232
00:11:58,751 --> 00:12:03,791
<i>and his whole comprehension
of the world changed.</i>

233
00:12:05,124 --> 00:12:06,724
The solid earth,

234
00:12:06,793 --> 00:12:08,626
our foundation of our life,

235
00:12:08,695 --> 00:12:10,894
is shattering.

236
00:12:10,963 --> 00:12:15,399
And as he later discovers a
day or so later in Concepción,

237
00:12:15,468 --> 00:12:17,667
<i>there's been huge suffering.</i>

238
00:12:17,736 --> 00:12:20,671
<i>The cathedral at Concepción
has collapsed,</i>

239
00:12:20,740 --> 00:12:25,009
<i>burying in its rubble
many devout worshippers.</i>

240
00:12:25,078 --> 00:12:26,810
He must have began to think,

241
00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:29,146
"There's something
arbitrary here.

242
00:12:29,215 --> 00:12:32,917
This is not a... a...
a loving God."

243
00:12:35,187 --> 00:12:38,356
<i>Probably the most shattering
episode during the voyage</i>

244
00:12:38,425 --> 00:12:42,459
<i>was his encounter with slavery.</i>

245
00:12:42,528 --> 00:12:46,864
He had read all about slavery...
Darwin had...

246
00:12:46,933 --> 00:12:49,633
and then on the Beagle voyage,

247
00:12:49,702 --> 00:12:53,137
<i>he set foot in Brazil
and he saw it</i>

248
00:12:53,206 --> 00:12:55,206
<i>in the raw, torn flesh.</i>

249
00:12:55,275 --> 00:12:58,642
<i>He encountered
instruments of torture.</i>

250
00:12:58,710 --> 00:13:02,479
<i>He saw grown men
cowering in fear.</i>

251
00:13:02,548 --> 00:13:05,783
He saw children abused
by their masters.

252
00:13:05,852 --> 00:13:09,153
<i>He was profoundly affected</i>

253
00:13:09,222 --> 00:13:12,456
<i>by what some humans</i>

254
00:13:12,525 --> 00:13:14,592
<i>were capable of doing
to other humans</i>

255
00:13:14,661 --> 00:13:17,594
whom they regarded as animals.

256
00:13:17,663 --> 00:13:20,230
<i>It makes one's blood boil,</i>

257
00:13:20,299 --> 00:13:23,333
<i>yet heart tremble,
to think that we Englishmen</i>

258
00:13:23,402 --> 00:13:27,237
<i>and our American descendants,
with their boastful cry of liberty,</i>

259
00:13:27,306 --> 00:13:30,708
<i>have been and are so guilty.</i>

260
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,420
<i>Darwin's empathy was
for all suffering creatures.</i>

261
00:13:40,887 --> 00:13:42,520
<i>I cannot see,</i>

262
00:13:42,589 --> 00:13:44,121
<i>as plainly as others do,</i>

263
00:13:44,190 --> 00:13:46,356
<i>and as I should wish to do,</i>

264
00:13:46,425 --> 00:13:48,959
<i>evidence of design
and beneficence</i>

265
00:13:49,028 --> 00:13:50,861
<i>on all sides of us.</i>

266
00:13:50,930 --> 00:13:53,834
<i>There seems to be
too much misery in the world.</i>

267
00:13:56,202 --> 00:13:58,036
<i>I cannot persuade myself
that a beneficent</i>

268
00:13:58,105 --> 00:13:59,769
<i>and omnipotent God</i>

269
00:13:59,838 --> 00:14:03,407
<i>would have designedly created
the ichneumonidae</i>

270
00:14:03,476 --> 00:14:05,742
<i>with the express intention
of their feeding within</i>

271
00:14:05,811 --> 00:14:09,580
<i>the living bodies
of caterpillars</i>

272
00:14:09,648 --> 00:14:12,016
<i>or that a cat
should play with mice...</i>

273
00:14:18,058 --> 00:14:20,391
{\an8}Now if his professors
had told him

274
00:14:20,459 --> 00:14:22,560
{\an8}that this world is not
the way it used to be,

275
00:14:22,629 --> 00:14:23,961
{\an8}that it changed because of sin,

276
00:14:24,030 --> 00:14:26,197
maybe if he had been
taught the truth

277
00:14:26,266 --> 00:14:28,665
about the history in Genesis,
he would have responded

278
00:14:28,734 --> 00:14:31,035
differently to the death
and suffering issue.

279
00:14:31,104 --> 00:14:34,738
{\an8}We are bearing the brunt
of Adam's sin,

280
00:14:34,807 --> 00:14:39,010
{\an8}and it's very difficult.

281
00:14:39,079 --> 00:14:41,779
And the Lord tells us
to love each other

282
00:14:41,848 --> 00:14:43,314
and bear each other's burdens,

283
00:14:43,383 --> 00:14:45,983
and that's what we try to do
at Haven of Rest.

284
00:14:46,052 --> 00:14:50,121
God cares for us.

285
00:14:50,190 --> 00:14:52,156
Give your cares.

286
00:14:52,225 --> 00:14:55,696
Let God deal with those cares.

287
00:14:57,030 --> 00:14:59,230
Jesus says, "I am
the resurrection and life.

288
00:14:59,299 --> 00:15:01,098
He who believes in me,

289
00:15:01,167 --> 00:15:05,470
yet though he die,
he shall live."

290
00:15:05,539 --> 00:15:06,874
Do you believe that?

291
00:15:08,608 --> 00:15:10,941
He will save you.

292
00:15:12,511 --> 00:15:15,513
<i>We have about 170 people</i>

293
00:15:15,582 --> 00:15:17,080
<i>come in here for dinner.</i>

294
00:15:17,149 --> 00:15:21,986
<i>A large percentage of those
ask for shelter as well.</i>

295
00:15:22,055 --> 00:15:26,924
<i>Those are the ones
that are truly homeless.</i>

296
00:15:26,993 --> 00:15:30,260
So many of them have been
through sexual abuse,

297
00:15:30,329 --> 00:15:34,832
neglect, um, have turned
to alcohol and drugs

298
00:15:34,901 --> 00:15:37,468
for who knows what reason.

299
00:15:37,537 --> 00:15:40,605
<i>Some of them have even
shared with us</i>

300
00:15:40,674 --> 00:15:43,941
<i>that this is a last resort.</i>

301
00:15:44,010 --> 00:15:46,944
<i>A lot of people ask
"How a loving God</i>

302
00:15:47,013 --> 00:15:50,081
<i>can allow so many evil</i>

303
00:15:50,150 --> 00:15:53,150
<i>and painful things
to happen?"</i>

304
00:15:53,219 --> 00:15:56,687
I don't believe there is
any clear-cut answer,

305
00:15:56,755 --> 00:15:59,824
because we don't understand
the mind of God, for one thing.

306
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:03,728
<i>However, the Lord
does not do things</i>

307
00:16:03,797 --> 00:16:05,563
<i>without a purpose.</i>

308
00:16:05,632 --> 00:16:08,532
<i>Some of the trials we go through</i>

309
00:16:08,601 --> 00:16:11,505

310
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:16,373
<i>We don't usually learn

311
00:16:16,442 --> 00:16:18,475

<i>We learn the most
through trials.</i>

313
00:16:22,514 --> 00:16:25,883
<i>But also, we live
in a fallen world.</i>

314
00:16:25,952 --> 00:16:27,784
<i>Back in Genesis,</i>

315

<i>it talks about how
it didn't start out that way.</i>

316
00:16:31,490 --> 00:16:35,126
But because of the decision
that man made,

317
00:16:35,195 --> 00:16:38,228
because the Angel of Light,

318
00:16:38,297 --> 00:16:40,898
Lucifer, was there
and tempted him,

319
00:16:40,967 --> 00:16:42,733
we live in a fallen world now,

320
00:16:42,802 --> 00:16:45,236
and so these awful things
do happen.

321

00:17:00,019 --> 00:17:02,419

<i>It's sin that's the cause
of what we see here.</i>

325
00:17:05,658 --> 00:17:07,458
So the whole point of this room

326

it's not God's fault

328
00:17:11,164 --> 00:17:13,130
there's death and suffering
in the world,

329
00:17:13,199 --> 00:17:15,599

00:24:35,875 --> 00:24:38,943
<i>Charles and Emma moved here,
to Down House,</i>

463
00:24:39,012 --> 00:24:40,844
<i>18 miles from London,</i>

464
00:24:40,913 --> 00:24:43,914
<i>where they would spend the rest
of their lives together.</i>

465
00:24:43,983 --> 00:24:47,284
{\an8}Down House was
far more important

466
00:24:47,353 --> 00:24:49,653
{\an8}to Darwin as a scientific arena

467
00:24:49,722 --> 00:24:53,257
{\an8}than the Galapagos or even the
whole of South America had been.

468
00:24:53,326 --> 00:24:57,894
Because there he could
settle down and get to work.

469
00:24:57,963 --> 00:25:02,099
In order to be a great scientist,
you have to devote your entire life

470
00:25:02,168 --> 00:25:03,168
to science.

471
00:25:03,235 --> 00:25:05,469
24 hours a day,
seven days a week.

472
00:25:07,206 --> 00:25:10,174
<i>And Darwin did that.
He worked manically.</i>

473
00:25:10,243 --> 00:25:12,777
It was a constant pulse.

474
00:25:12,846 --> 00:25:16,180
Work hard, collapse,
work hard, collapse.

475
00:25:16,249 --> 00:25:19,353
Tick tock through the years.

476
00:25:25,157 --> 00:25:28,659
His house became a menagerie
full of not just noisy

477
00:25:28,728 --> 00:25:32,196
<i>growing children,
but of growing plants</i>

478
00:25:32,265 --> 00:25:34,665
<i>all over the place
and noisy animals...</i>

479
00:25:34,734 --> 00:25:36,367
<i>...dead and alive,</i>

480
00:25:36,436 --> 00:25:38,368
and boxes of things
coming in the post

481
00:25:38,437 --> 00:25:41,071
and letters pouring through,
into the letter box.

482
00:25:41,140 --> 00:25:45,576
Um, and all being presided over
at home by the domestic goddess,

483
00:25:45,645 --> 00:25:47,011
<i>which was Emma...</i>

484
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,779
<i>freeing him to work hard
in his study.</i>

485
00:25:49,848 --> 00:25:54,785
She made an environment in which
he could work obsessively

486
00:25:54,854 --> 00:25:58,422
on his big project
for 20 years and more.

487
00:25:58,491 --> 00:26:02,092
<i>He had greenhouses
in which his gardener</i>

488
00:26:02,161 --> 00:26:05,495
<i>was cooperating with him,
breeding programs on plants.</i>

489
00:26:05,564 --> 00:26:09,766
<i>He was collecting stuff
coming in from all over the world.</i>

490
00:26:09,835 --> 00:26:13,837
He was asking people to send him
specimens which he would look at.

491
00:26:13,906 --> 00:26:18,876
<i>His correspondence with other
scientists across the world is gigantic.</i>

492
00:26:18,945 --> 00:26:20,544
It's flabbergasting,

493
00:26:20,613 --> 00:26:24,381
{\an8}his letter-writing and
the letters he was getting back

494
00:26:24,450 --> 00:26:25,850
{\an8}with people giving him...

495
00:26:25,919 --> 00:26:28,552
he's writing to Muller
in Brazil,

496
00:26:28,621 --> 00:26:31,956
<i>"Can you give me evidence
on these crabs,</i>

497
00:26:32,025 --> 00:26:34,158
<i>which I believe
exist on your shore?"</i>

498
00:26:34,227 --> 00:26:35,892
It's extraordinary.

499
00:26:35,961 --> 00:26:38,095
And he's collecting
all this together,

500
00:26:38,164 --> 00:26:42,466
well aware that he will
be attacked by religious people

501
00:26:42,535 --> 00:26:46,403
and by other scientists
who think that this is fanciful.

502
00:26:46,472 --> 00:26:49,739
<i>I determine to collect
every sort of fact</i>

503
00:26:49,808 --> 00:26:53,410
<i>that could bear in any way
on what are species...</i>

504
00:26:53,479 --> 00:26:56,480
<i>and have never ceased
collecting facts.</i>

505
00:26:56,549 --> 00:26:58,383
<i>When he was working
he was not doing</i>

506
00:26:58,452 --> 00:26:59,550
just one thing at a time.

507
00:26:59,619 --> 00:27:01,151
He was doing his species.

508
00:27:01,220 --> 00:27:03,955
He was dissecting all
the barnacles in the world.

509
00:27:04,024 --> 00:27:05,822
<i>He was keeping animal carcasses.</i>

510
00:27:05,891 --> 00:27:08,760
<i>He was doing experiments with
flowers in the kitchen garden.</i>

511
00:27:08,829 --> 00:27:10,628
<i>He was raising pigeons.</i>

512
00:27:10,697 --> 00:27:12,800
<i>And on and on it went.</i>

513
00:27:16,169 --> 00:27:19,704
<i>He decided to make a collection</i>

514
00:27:19,773 --> 00:27:22,740
<i>of fancy pigeons
because they showed</i>

515
00:27:22,809 --> 00:27:25,643
<i>the most extraordinary
varieties created,</i>

516
00:27:25,712 --> 00:27:29,016
<i>just in a few generations.</i>

517
00:27:33,086 --> 00:27:35,353
<i>He then compared them</i>

518
00:27:35,422 --> 00:27:36,654
and crossbred them,

519
00:27:36,723 --> 00:27:39,556
{\an8}and all to explore

520
00:27:39,625 --> 00:27:43,427
{\an8}how man can change organisms

521
00:27:43,496 --> 00:27:46,433
<i>by selective breeding.</i>

522
00:27:49,101 --> 00:27:52,403
<i>If feeble man can achieve
all these variations</i>

523
00:27:52,472 --> 00:27:56,574
<i>in so short a time
by artificial selection,</i>

524
00:27:56,643 --> 00:27:58,943
<i>I can see no limit
to the amount of change,</i>

525
00:27:59,012 --> 00:28:01,478
<i>to the beauty
and infinite complexity</i>

526
00:28:01,547 --> 00:28:05,149
<i>which may be affected
in the long course of time</i>

527
00:28:05,218 --> 00:28:07,421
<i>by nature's power of selection.</i>

528
00:28:09,222 --> 00:28:11,188
He needed to gather
the evidence,

529
00:28:11,257 --> 00:28:15,125
think through everything
and work it up into a theory

530
00:28:15,194 --> 00:28:19,729
that he could present for serious
attention by fellow scientists.

531
00:28:19,798 --> 00:28:24,667
<i>I have steadily endeavored
to keep my mind free,</i>

532
00:28:24,736 --> 00:28:28,939
<i>so as to give up any hypothesis,
however much beloved,</i>

533
00:28:29,008 --> 00:28:32,713
<i>as soon as the facts
are shown to be opposed to it.</i>

534
00:28:34,180 --> 00:28:36,614
<i>I feel within me...</i>

535
00:28:36,683 --> 00:28:39,450
<i>an instinct for truth.</i>

536
00:28:39,519 --> 00:28:40,717
There is only one truth,

537
00:28:40,786 --> 00:28:44,188
and truth is not an
assimilation of information.

538
00:28:44,257 --> 00:28:46,757
But there is one truth,
and that's found in the Bible.

539
00:28:46,826 --> 00:28:49,060
Jesus said, "I am the way,
the truth and the life.

540
00:28:49,129 --> 00:28:52,030
No man cometh
to the Father but by me."

541
00:28:52,099 --> 00:28:55,132
{\an8}If all we are is a product

542
00:28:55,201 --> 00:28:58,469
{\an8}of this random mutation process,

543
00:28:58,538 --> 00:29:01,372
then where does morality
come from,

544
00:29:01,441 --> 00:29:02,506
where does hope come from,

545
00:29:02,575 --> 00:29:04,341
where does love come from,

546
00:29:04,410 --> 00:29:06,744
where does anything that
makes us a human being

547
00:29:06,813 --> 00:29:07,912
really come from?

548
00:29:07,981 --> 00:29:11,181
I think Darwin was
the first to understand

549
00:29:11,250 --> 00:29:13,350
where his ideas
were leading him.

550
00:29:13,419 --> 00:29:18,021
He had no illusions about
how dangerous this work was

551
00:29:18,090 --> 00:29:20,694
or what conclusions
it might lead to.

552
00:29:22,895 --> 00:29:26,864
<i>Once grant that species
may pass into each other...</i>

553
00:29:26,933 --> 00:29:29,837
<i>and the whole fabric
totters and falls.</i>

554
00:29:31,337 --> 00:29:34,305
<i>We allow planets, suns,
whole systems of the universe</i>

555
00:29:34,374 --> 00:29:36,373
<i>to be governed by laws,</i>

556
00:29:36,442 --> 00:29:40,010
<i>but the smallest insect
we wish to be created at once</i>

557
00:29:40,079 --> 00:29:44,548
<i>by a special act
with its instincts in place.</i>

558
00:29:44,617 --> 00:29:47,785
Darwin says,
"No, we do not believe

559
00:29:47,854 --> 00:29:49,920
that God individually causes

560
00:29:49,989 --> 00:29:51,821
the planets to go in orbits,

561
00:29:51,890 --> 00:29:56,159
we should not believe that he
individually creates animals and plants."

562
00:29:56,228 --> 00:30:00,230
These things take place by laws,
ordained to govern the creation.

563
00:30:00,299 --> 00:30:04,435
<i>An innocent and good man
stands under a tree</i>

564
00:30:04,504 --> 00:30:06,937
<i>and is killed by
a flash of lighting.</i>

565
00:30:07,006 --> 00:30:10,441
<i>Do you believe that God
designedly killed this man?</i>

566
00:30:10,510 --> 00:30:13,211
<i>Or when a swallow
snaps up a gnat...</i>

567
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,214
<i>that God designed that?</i>

568
00:30:16,283 --> 00:30:18,648
<i>I can't and don't.</i>

569
00:30:18,717 --> 00:30:22,921
{\an8}Darwin's view is that God isn't
really needed in the here and now.

570
00:30:22,990 --> 00:30:24,154
{\an8}He may exist.

571
00:30:24,223 --> 00:30:26,757
He may well have designed
and ordered creation,

572
00:30:26,826 --> 00:30:29,396
but he basically
lets it go on its way.

573
00:30:34,834 --> 00:30:37,435
What that does,
it puts God so remote...

574
00:30:37,504 --> 00:30:41,505
{\an8}that we can safely ignore him.

575
00:30:41,574 --> 00:30:43,407
He's way back at the Big Bang,

576
00:30:43,476 --> 00:30:46,710
and he really hasn't
done much since.

577
00:30:46,779 --> 00:30:50,247
And here's another issue
we need to think about...

578
00:30:50,316 --> 00:30:53,917
What's more basic to
Christianity than prayer?

579
00:30:53,986 --> 00:30:56,787
Prayer is a case where we
actually have an opportunity

580
00:30:56,856 --> 00:31:01,492
and are invited to do so
by our Father to speak to God.

581
00:31:01,561 --> 00:31:04,895
{\an8}Why bother pursuing
a relationship with God

582
00:31:04,964 --> 00:31:07,798
{\an8}if he's closed the door on us

583
00:31:07,867 --> 00:31:10,835
and doesn't care
about us anymore?

584
00:31:10,904 --> 00:31:13,237
To think that I had
no communication with God

585
00:31:13,306 --> 00:31:14,839
would be so devastating.

586
00:31:14,908 --> 00:31:17,842
I can't even imagine
adopting such a view

587
00:31:17,911 --> 00:31:20,611
just to make peace with Darwin.

588
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,413
If that's the way
the world works,

589
00:31:22,482 --> 00:31:24,448
if it is just
this mechanical thing

590
00:31:24,517 --> 00:31:26,316
that God set spinning in place,

591
00:31:26,385 --> 00:31:29,586
then you believe in a God that
doesn't intervene in nature.

592
00:31:29,655 --> 00:31:33,491
That takes away any possibility of miracles,
any possibility of answered prayer,

593
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,826
any possibility
of the resurrection.

594
00:31:35,895 --> 00:31:39,496
And in reality,
you take away the possibility

595
00:31:39,565 --> 00:31:41,966
of Christianity
to be true at all.

00:32:34,721 --> 00:32:37,622
is evangelical
biblical Christianity

615
00:32:37,691 --> 00:32:39,890
that is faithful
to the scriptures.

616
00:32:49,702 --> 00:32:52,270
♪ He watches you and me ♪

617
00:32:52,339 --> 00:32:56,007
♪ Me... ♪

618
00:32:56,076 --> 00:32:59,142
♪ His eye is
on the sparrow... ♪

619
00:32:59,211 --> 00:33:01,178
<i>I think people are
longing for truth,</i>

620
00:33:01,247 --> 00:33:03,513
<i>for something that
they can sink their teeth into</i>

621
00:33:03,582 --> 00:33:06,383
<i>and that answers the deep
questions of their souls.</i>

622
00:33:06,452 --> 00:33:10,822
<i>And that's what biblical
Christianity is offering now.</i>

623
00:33:13,026 --> 00:33:15,993
Everybody has to come up
with a reason for the world

624
00:33:16,062 --> 00:33:18,662
being in the mess
that it's in right now.

625
00:33:18,731 --> 00:33:23,034
That explanation for Christians
happens in Genesis...

626
00:33:23,103 --> 00:33:24,134
the flood.

627
00:33:24,203 --> 00:33:26,636
Everything in Genesis
plays itself out

628
00:33:26,705 --> 00:33:28,384
throughout the entire rest
of the Scripture.

629
00:33:28,408 --> 00:33:31,642
So if you take out or change
Genesis to mean something else,

630
00:33:31,711 --> 00:33:36,047
to do something else,
you begin to eviscerate,

631
00:33:36,116 --> 00:33:38,582
to gut the Gospel message

632
00:33:38,651 --> 00:33:41,185
and the whole of Christianity.

633
00:33:41,254 --> 00:33:44,288
There is only one being
that really

634
00:33:44,357 --> 00:33:46,791
knows you from cover to cover,

635
00:33:46,860 --> 00:33:48,960
knows everything
you have ever done

636
00:33:49,029 --> 00:33:52,062
and every motive
you have ever had,

637
00:33:52,131 --> 00:33:55,600
and then can deliver a verdict

638
00:33:55,669 --> 00:33:59,971
of whether you are okay
or not okay,

639
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,805
and that's God.

640
00:34:01,874 --> 00:34:04,441
{\an8}God knows us intimately well,
inside and out,

641
00:34:04,510 --> 00:34:06,910
{\an8}from the top of my head
to the bottom of my feet,

642
00:34:06,979 --> 00:34:09,446
the number of hairs on my head.

643
00:34:09,515 --> 00:34:12,749
And that's the privilege of
having a relationship with him,

644
00:34:12,818 --> 00:34:16,988
that he is in every aspect,
every part of our movement,

645
00:34:17,057 --> 00:34:18,088
day in and day out,

646
00:34:18,157 --> 00:34:20,725
and we have this
living relationship with him.

647
00:34:20,794 --> 00:34:22,693
{\an8}I can't imagine life

648
00:34:22,762 --> 00:34:25,829
{\an8}without knowing
that God has a plan,

649
00:34:25,898 --> 00:34:30,668
{\an8}and that plan is not just
for the here and now,

650
00:34:30,737 --> 00:34:33,904
but that plan includes
a hope and a future,

651
00:34:33,973 --> 00:34:37,541
and a future way beyond
whatever we'll face here on Earth,

652
00:34:37,610 --> 00:34:40,210
but a future of him in Heaven.

653
00:34:40,279 --> 00:34:45,048
When my boys were 10
and seven and two,

654
00:34:45,117 --> 00:34:48,886
I found out, after having
a series of lumps and bumps

655
00:34:48,955 --> 00:34:50,921
in my body that I had ignored,

656
00:34:50,990 --> 00:34:52,957
that I had
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

657
00:34:53,026 --> 00:34:56,460
And I remember the dread
in that doctor's eyes

658
00:34:56,529 --> 00:34:59,731
when he told me that
it was stage III

659
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:01,632
and possibly stage IV.

660
00:35:01,701 --> 00:35:05,135
If I only had
a few days to live,

661
00:35:05,204 --> 00:35:07,405
it would be hard.

662
00:35:07,474 --> 00:35:08,673
It would be difficult.

663
00:35:08,742 --> 00:35:09,974
There would be tears,

664
00:35:10,043 --> 00:35:13,544
but I would know,
without a shadow of a doubt,

665
00:35:13,613 --> 00:35:15,679
that I have a faithful God

666
00:35:15,748 --> 00:35:19,015
who loves me
and had a plan for me.

667
00:35:19,084 --> 00:35:22,987
We even shared with our boys
that Mommy could get sicker.

668
00:35:23,056 --> 00:35:27,892
And we tried to help them
to know that if I did die,

669
00:35:27,961 --> 00:35:29,827
that God would still be God

670
00:35:29,896 --> 00:35:32,029
and that He would
still be faithful.

671
00:35:32,098 --> 00:35:35,299
That was hard, but we did it

672
00:35:35,368 --> 00:35:36,967
in His strength.

673
00:35:37,036 --> 00:35:42,173
{\an8}I was prostituting in every
single street here in Akron, ♪ ♪

674
00:35:42,242 --> 00:35:44,608
{\an8}alleys, abandoned houses,

675
00:35:44,677 --> 00:35:48,779
{\an8}jumping in and out of cars
with complete strangers,

676
00:35:48,848 --> 00:35:53,483
doing unthinkable sexual acts
for money,

677
00:35:53,552 --> 00:35:57,021
so that I was able to pay
for crack.

678
00:35:57,090 --> 00:35:59,823
I smoked away
every dream and hope

679
00:35:59,892 --> 00:36:03,728
to a point where I thought
that I was just worthless.

680
00:36:03,797 --> 00:36:06,696
{\an8}I started to use marijuana.

681
00:36:06,765 --> 00:36:11,034
{\an8}In Vietnam I started with that,
and then I started to use

682
00:36:11,103 --> 00:36:13,503
opiates back when
I got home... morphine.

683
00:36:13,572 --> 00:36:15,739
And then that turned
into heroin,

684
00:36:15,808 --> 00:36:19,510
and I soon find
myself with a habit.

685
00:36:19,579 --> 00:36:23,713
And that habit then became
the lord of my life.

686
00:36:23,782 --> 00:36:26,550
And I remember one night
being on Broad Street,

687
00:36:26,619 --> 00:36:31,388
and I was screaming out
to God to kill me

688
00:36:31,457 --> 00:36:35,429
or save me, but don't let me
live like this anymore.

689
00:36:37,964 --> 00:36:40,397
It was a horrible place.

690
00:36:40,466 --> 00:36:43,133
And so, I just very sincerely
one night said,

691
00:36:43,202 --> 00:36:46,703
"God, there's got to be
more to life than this.

692
00:36:46,772 --> 00:36:50,975
And if you're real, would you
make yourself real to me?"

693
00:36:51,044 --> 00:36:55,013
He removed my addiction
on the spot.

694
00:36:55,082 --> 00:36:56,913
He healed me.

695
00:36:56,982 --> 00:37:01,319
That's exactly what started
bringing me up out of that darkness.

696
00:37:01,388 --> 00:37:04,455
It was the love
that he has for me.

697
00:37:04,524 --> 00:37:07,061
It's amazing, and I felt...

698
00:37:08,395 --> 00:37:11,728
I felt like a new creature.

699
00:37:11,797 --> 00:37:15,099
I know he's real.
I know he lives within me,

700
00:37:15,168 --> 00:37:19,103
and I know he's the best thing
that ever happened to me

701
00:37:19,172 --> 00:37:20,937
and ever happened to this world.

702
00:37:21,006 --> 00:37:24,575
And now it's my privilege
to share that and proclaim that

703
00:37:24,644 --> 00:37:26,243
to every man, woman,
boy and girl.

704
00:37:26,312 --> 00:37:29,447
There's good news
and there's hope.

705
00:37:29,516 --> 00:37:33,251
I would love
to encourage Mr. Darwin

706
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,320
and others that feel
just like him

707
00:37:36,389 --> 00:37:38,826
to try God.

708
00:37:41,594 --> 00:37:44,161
And see the transformation
for themselves.

709
00:37:44,230 --> 00:37:47,832
{\an8}If I were asked
what is the primary reason

710
00:37:47,901 --> 00:37:50,801
{\an8}I believe evolution

711
00:37:50,870 --> 00:37:53,904
is incompatible
with biblical Christianity,

712
00:37:53,973 --> 00:37:58,976
I could sum it up
in one word for you... death.

713
00:37:59,045 --> 00:38:03,113
If you want, add pain,
suffering and death.

714
00:38:03,182 --> 00:38:06,450
I know a little about this.
I lost my first wife to cancer.

715
00:38:06,519 --> 00:38:09,253
Now my second wife has cancer
and so do I.

716
00:38:09,322 --> 00:38:13,858
Whether we're young or old,
death is inevitable.

717
00:38:13,927 --> 00:38:16,360
And how do we deal with death?

718
00:38:16,429 --> 00:38:19,462
How does evolution
deal with death?

719
00:38:19,531 --> 00:38:22,967
<i>It was a question Darwin
would have to face himself</i>

720
00:38:23,036 --> 00:38:24,535
<i>in his early 40s.</i>

721
00:38:24,604 --> 00:38:27,104
<i>He and Emma loved
all their children,</i>

722
00:38:27,173 --> 00:38:30,307
<i>but there was one who
was specially precious to them,</i>

723
00:38:30,376 --> 00:38:34,145
<i>their eldest daughter Annie.</i>

724
00:38:34,214 --> 00:38:36,480
<i>Annie was a delightful child...</i>

725
00:38:36,549 --> 00:38:39,416
<i>pliable, amenable, loving.</i>

726
00:38:39,485 --> 00:38:43,220
She loved to touch her parents,
to be caressed, to be held,

727
00:38:43,289 --> 00:38:46,890
to plait their hair,
to touch their arms.

728
00:38:46,959 --> 00:38:49,530
She was sensitive
to their feelings.

729
00:38:51,731 --> 00:38:53,898
<i>Just before her 10th birthday,</i>

730
00:38:53,967 --> 00:38:57,635
<i>Annie fell seriously ill.</i>

731
00:38:57,704 --> 00:39:00,304
<i>Darwin took her to
the spa town of Malvern,</i>

732
00:39:00,373 --> 00:39:03,140
<i>and the doctor he credited
with saving his own life</i>

733
00:39:03,209 --> 00:39:06,447
<i>when he was in a critical
condition two years earlier.</i>

734
00:39:08,914 --> 00:39:12,248
<i>He left her there
in the care of Dr. Gully,</i>

735
00:39:12,317 --> 00:39:17,187
<i>and hurried back to Emma, who was
heavily pregnant with their eighth child</i>

736
00:39:17,256 --> 00:39:20,457
<i>and in no condition
to take the 150-mile journey</i>

737
00:39:20,526 --> 00:39:23,393
<i>from Down House to Malvern.</i>

738
00:39:23,462 --> 00:39:26,663
<i>Two weeks later,
Darwin was summoned back</i>

739
00:39:26,732 --> 00:39:29,966
<i>to face an agonizing crisis.</i>

740
00:39:30,035 --> 00:39:32,402
<i>It is now from hour to hour,</i>

741
00:39:32,471 --> 00:39:35,006
<i>a struggle between life
and death.</i>

742
00:39:35,075 --> 00:39:36,841
<i>Oh, my own,</i>

743
00:39:36,910 --> 00:39:39,276
<i>it is very bitter indeed.</i>

744
00:39:39,345 --> 00:39:43,814
<i>Annie died at Easter, 1851.</i>

745
00:39:43,883 --> 00:39:46,950
This was a watershed,
because Darwin no longer

746
00:39:47,019 --> 00:39:49,119
felt it possible
afterwards to believe

747
00:39:49,188 --> 00:39:52,990
in a good, loving Christian God.

748
00:39:53,059 --> 00:39:55,225
{\an8}This is, for him,

749
00:39:55,294 --> 00:39:59,964
{\an8}the final nail
in his Christian coffin.

750
00:40:00,033 --> 00:40:01,599
Here's the conflict:

751
00:40:01,668 --> 00:40:04,672
God is good...

752
00:40:05,872 --> 00:40:08,639
God is all-powerful,

753
00:40:08,708 --> 00:40:13,611
<i>horrific, catastrophic
tragedy takes place.</i>

754
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,383
<i>So how can all
of these things be true?</i>

755
00:40:20,018 --> 00:40:24,121
<i>Abby's 17 years old, and she
was in an automobile accident,</i>

756
00:40:24,190 --> 00:40:28,759
<i>and has since been unable
to regain the use of her legs.</i>

757
00:40:28,828 --> 00:40:32,897
<i>She's not able to
breathe on her own or eat.</i>

758
00:40:32,966 --> 00:40:35,632
{\an8}I'm no doctor...

759
00:40:35,701 --> 00:40:40,504
{\an8}but I think God would have to
move for Abby to walk again.

760
00:40:40,573 --> 00:40:44,007
"Streams of mercy never ceasing,

761
00:40:44,076 --> 00:40:47,377
call for songs
of loudest praise.

762
00:40:47,446 --> 00:40:50,014
Teach me some melodious sonnet

763
00:40:50,083 --> 00:40:52,683
sung by flaming tongues above.

764
00:40:52,752 --> 00:40:56,286
I'll praise the mount
I'm fixed upon...

765
00:40:56,355 --> 00:40:59,189
mount of thy redeeming love."

766
00:40:59,258 --> 00:41:02,460
I wish that one
of us could sing.

767
00:41:02,529 --> 00:41:03,529
It would have been...

768
00:41:05,164 --> 00:41:07,498
We can all sing,
we just can't sing good.

769
00:41:07,567 --> 00:41:08,666
- Yeah, I can't.
- I can.

770
00:41:08,735 --> 00:41:10,367
- You can.
- Yeah, go ahead.

771
00:41:10,436 --> 00:41:12,803
Abby was singing. She's like,
"What are you talking about?"

772
00:41:12,872 --> 00:41:15,372
If we had any music,
we could harmonize.

773
00:41:15,441 --> 00:41:16,873
She's singing solo.

774
00:41:16,942 --> 00:41:18,976
<i>We don't make any sense of this.</i>

775
00:41:19,045 --> 00:41:21,144
<i>I don't know how we could.</i>

776
00:41:21,213 --> 00:41:24,881
<i>We couldn't agree that she's
done anything to deserve this.</i>

777
00:41:24,950 --> 00:41:26,817
<i>It's a horrible thing
we're going through...</i>

778
00:41:26,886 --> 00:41:30,388
{\an8}but there is no way we could
do it without God's presence.

779
00:41:30,457 --> 00:41:31,688
{\an8}There is absolutely no way.

780
00:41:31,757 --> 00:41:34,926
<i>We are so weak,
but he is strong,</i>

781
00:41:34,995 --> 00:41:38,095
<i>and he is holding us up
every day.</i>

782
00:41:38,164 --> 00:41:40,798
<i>We don't understand the timing,</i>

783
00:41:40,867 --> 00:41:44,535
<i>but we do understand
his presence.</i>

784
00:41:44,604 --> 00:41:49,340
We know that all things
will come to good.

785
00:41:49,409 --> 00:41:50,911
We don't know how.

786
00:41:52,179 --> 00:41:54,211
I can't understand

787
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:58,282
how this could be
for Abby's good.

788
00:41:58,351 --> 00:42:01,618
I trust that somehow it is.

789
00:42:01,687 --> 00:42:05,590
<i>- We have no doubt
- God is a good God,</i>

790
00:42:05,659 --> 00:42:06,857
<i>a loving God.</i>

791
00:42:06,926 --> 00:42:09,859
<i>He will never leave us
or forsake us.</i>

792
00:42:09,928 --> 00:42:13,798
And he has a plan for her, and I
firmly believe he is going to use her life

793
00:42:13,867 --> 00:42:15,198
as a testimony.

794
00:42:15,267 --> 00:42:19,136
There already have been a
lot of people touched by her.

795
00:42:19,205 --> 00:42:21,105
<i>Heather, my wife,</i>

796
00:42:21,174 --> 00:42:25,376
<i>said I'm praying and praying
and praying for Abby,</i>

797
00:42:25,445 --> 00:42:28,679
and nothing's happening...

798
00:42:28,748 --> 00:42:31,616
And nothing's changing.
Why would I pray...

799
00:42:31,685 --> 00:42:33,821
<i>to God?</i>

800
00:42:36,956 --> 00:42:40,424
<i>Who knows? The Lord
may choose to be merciful.</i>

801
00:42:40,493 --> 00:42:44,061
<i>He might hear our cry
and relent,</i>

802
00:42:44,130 --> 00:42:47,631
<i>but if he doesn't,
no matter what happens,</i>

803
00:42:47,700 --> 00:42:52,039
<i>I still believe that God
wants the best for his people.</i>

804
00:42:56,809 --> 00:42:58,809
<i>I don't know how
people without God</i>

805
00:42:58,878 --> 00:43:00,510
<i>can survive things like this.</i>

806
00:43:00,579 --> 00:43:03,013
I... I don't know
how they could.

807
00:43:03,082 --> 00:43:05,249
I couldn't, I couldn't do it.

808
00:43:05,318 --> 00:43:08,218
{\an8}For Darwin there was
no such consolation.

809
00:43:08,287 --> 00:43:12,256
{\an8}There was no comfort to be had
in a God who would reconcile him

810
00:43:12,325 --> 00:43:15,926
to his daughter in another life,

811
00:43:15,995 --> 00:43:20,998
or in the notion that there
was a purpose to her death.

812
00:43:21,067 --> 00:43:23,571
And he was inconsolable.

813
00:43:25,437 --> 00:43:27,738
<i>He tried to avoid
the pain of Annie's death</i>

814
00:43:27,807 --> 00:43:29,873
<i>by concentrating
on his species theory.</i>

815
00:43:29,942 --> 00:43:33,810
But there was a darkness that
started to permeate his writing.

816
00:43:33,879 --> 00:43:36,980
<i>Darwin was not a well man,</i>

817
00:43:37,049 --> 00:43:41,418
<i>ever since he'd begun
working on evolution.</i>

818
00:43:41,487 --> 00:43:44,821
Because he knew what a
disreputable thing he was doing,

819
00:43:44,890 --> 00:43:47,057
and yet he didn't intend
to be disreputable.

820
00:43:47,126 --> 00:43:48,726
He was afraid
of being misunderstood.

821
00:43:48,795 --> 00:43:50,161
It tore him apart.

822
00:43:50,230 --> 00:43:52,162
<i>Emma was his protector.</i>

823
00:43:52,231 --> 00:43:56,967
<i>Emma made it possible for him to
get on with what he cared most about,</i>

824
00:43:57,036 --> 00:44:01,038
<i>which was this enormous burden,
this vision of nature,</i>

825
00:44:01,107 --> 00:44:02,740
<i>this vision of God's creation,</i>

826
00:44:02,809 --> 00:44:07,778
which he was determined
to put to the Victorian world

827
00:44:07,847 --> 00:44:09,783
and hope they would accept.

828
00:44:10,984 --> 00:44:12,683
<i>"On the Origin of Species"</i>

829
00:44:12,752 --> 00:44:17,188
<i>was first published
on November 24th, 1859.</i>

830
00:44:17,257 --> 00:44:19,656
<i>It's never been
out of print since.</i>

831
00:44:19,725 --> 00:44:24,395
People realized that when "The
Origin" came out in November 1859,

832
00:44:24,464 --> 00:44:27,598
this was serious, substantial

833
00:44:27,667 --> 00:44:29,000
and something to be
reckoned with.

834
00:44:29,069 --> 00:44:30,400
And it sold out instantly.

835
00:44:30,469 --> 00:44:33,070
{\an8}I think the most striking thing
about the book, in fact,

836
00:44:33,139 --> 00:44:35,472
{\an8}is that the reaction
is much more muted

837
00:44:35,541 --> 00:44:38,943
{\an8}and appreciative than,
I think, legend would have it.

838
00:44:39,012 --> 00:44:41,912
This was not an idea
that you could ignore,

839
00:44:41,981 --> 00:44:44,414
because Darwin had
presented it so well

840
00:44:44,483 --> 00:44:48,385
and with so much evidence,
that it demanded a verdict.

841
00:44:48,454 --> 00:44:52,356
And certainly within
about five to 10 years,

842
00:44:52,425 --> 00:44:55,626
most educated people in Britain,

843
00:44:55,695 --> 00:44:58,161
including those
of a religious persuasion,

844
00:44:58,230 --> 00:45:01,232
and quite often those of an
orthodox religious persuasion,

845
00:45:01,301 --> 00:45:04,134
are convinced that
species have evolved.

846
00:45:04,203 --> 00:45:06,670
{\an8}In the United States,
the book was published

847
00:45:06,739 --> 00:45:09,740
{\an8}on the eve
of the great Civil War,

848
00:45:09,809 --> 00:45:12,442
and by the turn
of the 20th century,

849
00:45:12,511 --> 00:45:16,779
evolution and its experts were well
established in American higher education.

850
00:45:16,848 --> 00:45:19,762
It was one thing when scientists were
just debating it among themselves...

851
00:45:19,786 --> 00:45:22,197
{\an8}well, you know, scientists are
always theorizing about things...

852
00:45:22,221 --> 00:45:23,521
{\an8}but when it was thrust upon you,

853
00:45:23,590 --> 00:45:24,866
{\an8}when it was taught
to school kids

854
00:45:24,890 --> 00:45:27,858
as the cutting edge of science,

855
00:45:27,927 --> 00:45:30,393
that it really became
a public flash point.

856
00:45:30,462 --> 00:45:35,199
Evolution came under attack by a
distinguished American politician,

857
00:45:35,268 --> 00:45:37,101
<i>named William Jennings Bryan.</i>

858
00:45:37,170 --> 00:45:39,736
<i>He believed evolution
was un-American.</i>

859
00:45:39,805 --> 00:45:41,772
<i>He believed it was immoral,
it was corrupting</i>

860
00:45:41,841 --> 00:45:45,642
<i>and must not be taught
to American school students.</i>

861
00:45:45,711 --> 00:45:49,713
And Bryan's crusade...
it was called a crusade...

862
00:45:49,782 --> 00:45:52,717
really reached a climax
in the summer of 1925

863
00:45:52,786 --> 00:45:55,185
<i>in a small town
of Dayton, Tennessee,</i>

864
00:45:55,254 --> 00:45:58,856
<i>where a local school teacher
was put up</i>

865
00:45:58,925 --> 00:46:03,260
<i>to admit that he had
taught evolution</i>

866
00:46:03,329 --> 00:46:05,729
in violation of a state statute.

867
00:46:05,798 --> 00:46:09,600
<i>And so it happened... William
Jennings Bryan to prosecute</i>

868
00:46:09,669 --> 00:46:11,902
<i>John Thomas Scopes
for teaching evolution.</i>

869
00:46:11,971 --> 00:46:14,271
<i>Clarence Darrow,
the great defense attorney</i>

870
00:46:14,340 --> 00:46:16,440
<i>for the
American Civil Liberties Union,</i>

871
00:46:16,509 --> 00:46:20,244
<i>to defend Scopes
from fundamentalism.</i>

872
00:46:20,313 --> 00:46:23,081
So suddenly you had this clash
of these two brilliant

873
00:46:23,150 --> 00:46:24,782
and famous orators,

874
00:46:24,851 --> 00:46:26,316
<i>Darrow and Bryan,</i>

875
00:46:26,385 --> 00:46:29,423
<i>and that was when it exploded
into this huge media sensation.</i>

876
00:46:33,159 --> 00:46:35,292
<i>The Scopes trial was a circus.</i>

877
00:46:35,361 --> 00:46:38,162
<i>Circus performers came and
brought their chimpanzees.</i>

<i>Film crews showed up</i> ♪ ♪

00:46:45,339 --> 00:46:46,870
<i>And the issue was</i>

882
00:46:46,939 --> 00:46:51,175
<i>whether Bryan
and his popular constituency</i>

888
00:47:12,531 --> 00:47:15,766
<i>The result of the Scopes trial
was that Scopes was convicted,</i>

889
00:47:15,835 --> 00:47:18,202
<i>and he was fined $100.</i>

890
00:47:18,271 --> 00:47:20,871
But the real effect
of the Scopes trial

891
00:47:20,940 --> 00:47:23,608
was simply that evolution
largely disappeared

892
00:47:23,677 --> 00:47:25,709
from public school
science classes.

893
00:47:25,778 --> 00:47:29,947
That's why the anti-evolution sentiment itself
largely died down over the next few decades.

894
00:47:31,817 --> 00:47:34,218
<i>If there was a single event
that brought Darwin's theory</i>

895
00:47:34,287 --> 00:47:36,686
<i>back into the spotlight,</i>

896
00:47:36,755 --> 00:47:41,495
<i>it was the launch of Sputnik
on the fourth of November 1957.</i>

897
00:47:49,669 --> 00:47:52,603
<i>The cultural impact of Sputnik
is hard to exaggerate.</i>

898
00:47:52,672 --> 00:47:56,473
At that time, of course, the
Cold War was just getting going,

899
00:47:56,542 --> 00:47:58,854
and people were very worried
about this in the United States.

900
00:47:58,878 --> 00:48:02,179
"My God, the Russians
beat us into space."

901
00:48:02,248 --> 00:48:04,448
And this was considered
a serious indictment

902
00:48:04,517 --> 00:48:06,817
<i>of the American
educational system.</i>

903
00:48:06,886 --> 00:48:09,319
<i>We were falling behind
in science.</i>

904
00:48:09,388 --> 00:48:12,690
There was a renewed interest in
science education as a result of this,

905
00:48:12,759 --> 00:48:14,958
and one effect of that
renewed interest

906
00:48:15,027 --> 00:48:18,962
was redesigning curricula to be
used in high school science classes.

907
00:48:19,031 --> 00:48:22,299
And this involved teaching
advanced physics

908
00:48:22,368 --> 00:48:25,669
and it involved teaching
evolution as the framework

909
00:48:25,738 --> 00:48:27,071
for understanding life sciences.

910
00:48:27,140 --> 00:48:29,640
When the Russians launched
their Sputnik,

911
00:48:29,709 --> 00:48:32,343
{\an8}it was a challenge
to the scientific community,

912
00:48:32,412 --> 00:48:33,945
{\an8}to the government
of the United States.

913
00:48:34,014 --> 00:48:37,881
<i>There was a panic</i>

914
00:48:37,950 --> 00:48:40,317
<i>in the scientific community
of America.</i>

915
00:48:40,386 --> 00:48:43,086
<i>"Hey, we're supposed
to be leading edge here.</i>

916
00:48:43,155 --> 00:48:45,990
<i>We gotta to catch up.
We gotta get ahead."</i>

917
00:48:46,059 --> 00:48:50,694
<i>Science almost became God
in our country.</i>

918
00:48:50,763 --> 00:48:53,097
<i>And so they started shoveling
all kinds of money</i>

919
00:48:53,166 --> 00:48:55,970
<i>into scientific endeavors.</i>

920
00:49:02,876 --> 00:49:04,942
But behind that all

921
00:49:05,011 --> 00:49:08,445
was this idea that Darwinism
is correct also.

922
00:49:08,514 --> 00:49:12,449
The huge programs to bring
biology teaching

923
00:49:12,518 --> 00:49:14,618
into the American
school system awoke,

924
00:49:14,687 --> 00:49:16,854
effectively, something of
a sleeping tiger.

925
00:49:16,923 --> 00:49:19,823
<i>For the first time in history,</i>

926
00:49:19,892 --> 00:49:23,995
<i>Creationists fought back,
using an entirely new tactic.</i>

927
00:49:24,064 --> 00:49:27,298
<i>They would fight science
with science...</i>

928
00:49:27,367 --> 00:49:30,401
<i>orthodox science
with creation science.</i>

929
00:49:37,409 --> 00:49:39,810
{\an8}<i>The Bible reveals
that God created...</i>

930
00:49:39,879 --> 00:49:43,179
{\an8}<i>all the animal and plant kinds
in the beginning</i>

931
00:49:43,248 --> 00:49:46,784
{\an8}<i>and we're now learning that God
placed a huge amount of information</i>

932
00:49:46,853 --> 00:49:48,685
{\an8}<i>within each created kind,</i>

933
00:49:48,754 --> 00:49:53,791
{\an8}<i>allowing them to diversify into the
myriad of plants and animals we see today.</i>

934
00:49:53,860 --> 00:49:55,125
{\an8}<i>This is not evolution.</i>

935
00:49:55,194 --> 00:49:59,230
{\an8}<i>It's creation by
an all-knowing, all-powerful,</i>

936
00:49:59,299 --> 00:50:01,435
{\an8}<i>infinitely wise Creator.</i>

937
00:50:10,476 --> 00:50:13,244
{\an8}<i>Further up we see a
massive grouping of galaxies</i>

938
00:50:13,313 --> 00:50:15,613
{\an8}<i>called the Virgo Cluster.</i>

939
00:50:15,682 --> 00:50:18,515
{\an8}<i>It contains over 2,000 galaxies,</i>

940
00:50:18,584 --> 00:50:22,353
{\an8}<i>and is 50 million light years
away from Earth.</i>

941
00:50:22,422 --> 00:50:24,355
{\an8}<i>Critics of the Bible
have suggested</i>

942
00:50:24,424 --> 00:50:27,023
{\an8}<i>that it is impossible for
the light from these galaxies</i>

943
00:50:27,092 --> 00:50:30,193
{\an8}<i>to reach Earth in only
six thousand years,</i>

944
00:50:30,262 --> 00:50:33,496
{\an8}<i>but in fact, there are several
different ways to get light</i>

945
00:50:33,565 --> 00:50:37,367
{\an8}<i>to travel these distances
in a short period of time.</i>

946
00:50:37,436 --> 00:50:40,871
{\an8}<i>These include gravitational
time dilation,</i>

947
00:50:40,940 --> 00:50:44,645
{\an8}<i>alternate synchrony conventions
and others.</i>

948
00:50:51,717 --> 00:50:54,417
{\an8}<i>Many scientists contend
that dinosaurs died off</i>

949
00:50:54,486 --> 00:50:56,887
{\an8}<i>over 60 million years
before humans came to be.</i>

950
00:50:56,956 --> 00:51:01,959
{\an8}<i>The possibility that humans
and dinosaurs ever co-existed</i>

951
00:51:02,028 --> 00:51:03,961
{\an8}<i>is unthinkable to them,</i>

952
00:51:04,030 --> 00:51:06,096
{\an8}<i>but what does the Bible say?</i>

953
00:51:06,165 --> 00:51:11,268
{\an8}The Bible makes it very clear that
God created land animals on day six.

954
00:51:11,337 --> 00:51:13,070
Dinosaurs were land animals.

955
00:51:13,139 --> 00:51:15,606
Therefore Adam and Eve
and dinosaurs

956
00:51:15,675 --> 00:51:17,341
lived hand in hand.
They lived together.

957
00:51:17,410 --> 00:51:21,044
<i>From just reading Genesis
you get the idea</i>

958
00:51:21,113 --> 00:51:24,515
<i>of a perfect world...
no death, no disease,</i>

959
00:51:24,584 --> 00:51:27,451
<i>animals, man, the dinosaurs</i>

960
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,820
<i>were all vegetarian.</i>

961
00:51:29,889 --> 00:51:32,456
Now, the fossil record...
it's a record of death.

962
00:51:32,525 --> 00:51:34,892
<i>It's a record of animals
eating each other.</i>

963
00:51:34,961 --> 00:51:36,793
<i>It's a record of disease,</i>

964
00:51:36,862 --> 00:51:41,199
<i>because there are dinosaur
bones with brain tumors.</i>

965
00:51:44,604 --> 00:51:47,738
But you can't have dinosaurs
with brain tumors

966
00:51:47,807 --> 00:51:51,275
and dinosaurs eating each other
until after sin.

967
00:51:51,344 --> 00:51:54,544
{\an8}<i>So if dinosaurs lived
alongside humans,</i>

968
00:51:54,613 --> 00:51:58,882
{\an8}<i>and Noah even brought pairs of
young dinosaurs with him on the ark,</i>

969
00:51:58,951 --> 00:52:01,519
{\an8}<i>what happened to them?
Where did they all go?</i>

970
00:52:01,588 --> 00:52:03,453
{\an8}<i>Well, dragon legends are found</i>

971
00:52:03,522 --> 00:52:06,657
{\an8}<i>in many cultures and traditions
all around the world.</i>

972
00:52:06,726 --> 00:52:09,426
{\an8}<i>So it is hardly surprising</i>

973
00:52:09,495 --> 00:52:12,363
{\an8}<i>that the world would be filled
with legends of heroes,</i>

974
00:52:12,432 --> 00:52:13,497
{\an8}<i>like St. George,</i>

975
00:52:13,566 --> 00:52:17,671
{\an8}<i>and their encounters
with mighty beasts.</i>

976
00:52:22,274 --> 00:52:25,275
{\an8}If the only way you can make
your belief persist

977
00:52:25,344 --> 00:52:28,679
{\an8}is to lie to children,
which is what Creationists do,

978
00:52:28,748 --> 00:52:30,881
about the age of the earth
and things of that nature,

979
00:52:30,950 --> 00:52:33,618
if that's the only way this
thing can persist, it's not worth it.

980
00:52:33,687 --> 00:52:35,485
It should disappear.

981
00:52:35,554 --> 00:52:38,055
{\an8}There is
so much evidence to show

982
00:52:38,124 --> 00:52:41,825
{\an8}that what Darwin saw
in outline to be true

983
00:52:41,894 --> 00:52:45,762
<i>is infinitely true
on every single level.</i>

984
00:52:45,831 --> 00:52:49,466
<i>How miraculous it is that this man
in the middle of the 19th century</i>

985
00:52:49,535 --> 00:52:51,635
<i>was able to see in broad outline</i>

986
00:52:51,704 --> 00:52:55,139
<i>what we can now see
in infinite complexity.</i>

987
00:52:55,208 --> 00:52:57,575
<i>There's been so much
advancement in science...</i>

988
00:52:57,644 --> 00:53:01,178
<i>you know, our understanding
of DNA, the genome,</i>

989
00:53:01,247 --> 00:53:03,647
<i>our kinship with animals.</i>

990
00:53:03,716 --> 00:53:06,617
If you are going
to throw evolution away,

991
00:53:06,686 --> 00:53:09,053
you have to throw
all of that away.

992
00:53:09,122 --> 00:53:10,788
{\an8}We have eyes.
We have years.

993
00:53:10,857 --> 00:53:13,891
{\an8}We were given those by God,
potentially.

994
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:15,859
{\an8}Why would we have been misled?

995
00:53:15,928 --> 00:53:17,627
And not only us as individuals,

996
00:53:17,696 --> 00:53:21,364
but why would hundreds of
thousands, millions of people

997
00:53:21,433 --> 00:53:23,967
that have taken these questions
very seriously,

998
00:53:24,036 --> 00:53:25,869
why would they all
have been misled as well?

999
00:53:25,938 --> 00:53:29,940
{\an8}We're very aware of
how much evolution is taught

1000
00:53:30,009 --> 00:53:31,169
{\an8}in the public school setting.

1001
00:53:31,210 --> 00:53:34,378
<i>So, that's why we like
to homeschool.</i>

1002
00:53:34,447 --> 00:53:39,183
Can you show me on
the timeline where he is?

1003
00:53:39,252 --> 00:53:41,952
He's right here on
the timeline. Okay.

1004
00:53:42,021 --> 00:53:45,522
Okay. And what word

1005
00:53:45,591 --> 00:53:48,492
that we use today
came from his name?

1006
00:53:48,561 --> 00:53:51,629
In modern English,
"martyr" means somebody

1007
00:53:51,698 --> 00:53:54,031
who's killed
for the sake of Christ.

1008
00:53:54,100 --> 00:53:57,167
We do need to shield our kids
from what's going on in the world,

1009
00:53:57,236 --> 00:53:59,769
and help them to be able
to defend their faith.

1010
00:53:59,838 --> 00:54:04,475
Gladiator fights, traumas and
there's a slaughtering house

1011
00:54:04,544 --> 00:54:07,411
for Christians
who would not deny Jesus.

1012
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,748
So all of these people
were witnessing the slaughter

1013
00:54:10,817 --> 00:54:13,918
of multiple Christians
and watching gruesome things,

1014
00:54:13,987 --> 00:54:17,254
such as gladiators fighting
each other to the death.

1015
00:54:17,323 --> 00:54:21,091
I'm sure that they will be attacked
when they go out into the world

1016
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,460
when they're older
and they're in the workforce.

1017
00:54:23,529 --> 00:54:26,330
One of our children
is very interested in science.

1018
00:54:26,399 --> 00:54:29,133
Nero was the first emperor

1019
00:54:29,202 --> 00:54:32,836
to start the major persecution

1020
00:54:32,905 --> 00:54:34,104
of the Christians.

1021
00:54:34,173 --> 00:54:38,909
We warn our son that
there are going to be

1022
00:54:38,978 --> 00:54:41,512
<i>many people who are not
going to agree</i>

1023
00:54:41,581 --> 00:54:45,416
<i>that God created this world
in six literal days.</i>

1024
00:54:45,485 --> 00:54:47,817
<i>They're gonna tell him
it's a fairy tale.</i>

1025
00:54:47,886 --> 00:54:52,089
He needs to have strong faith
and believe God's word

1026
00:54:52,158 --> 00:54:54,024
to be able to defend that later.

1027
00:54:54,093 --> 00:54:58,195
{\an8}It used to be that there was
a three-legged stool.

1028
00:54:58,264 --> 00:55:02,965
{\an8}The family taught what the schools
taught what the church taught.

1029
00:55:03,034 --> 00:55:07,938
{\an8}Now you have, in our church, you have
families and church teaching one thing,

1030
00:55:08,007 --> 00:55:09,807
{\an8}and you have schools
teaching another thing.

1031
00:55:09,876 --> 00:55:11,808
{\an8}Often times, when I'm dealing
with young people,

1032
00:55:11,877 --> 00:55:14,411
{\an8}especially people who are about
to graduate out of high school,

1033
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:15,812
{\an8}go off to college,

1034
00:55:15,881 --> 00:55:19,583
I tell them that
they're going to face

1035
00:55:19,652 --> 00:55:21,985
significant opposition
to what they believe,

1036
00:55:22,054 --> 00:55:25,456
as far as their understanding
and love for the word of God.

1037
00:55:25,525 --> 00:55:28,159
{\an8}You read headlines
and you watch television,

1038
00:55:28,228 --> 00:55:31,162
{\an8}and the overwhelming current

1039
00:55:31,231 --> 00:55:33,197
is belief in evolution.

1040
00:55:33,266 --> 00:55:37,000
Are you threatened by it
or do those...

1041
00:55:37,069 --> 00:55:41,137
do those arrows kinda...
do they wear you down?

1042
00:55:41,206 --> 00:55:44,775
I absolutely believe
that God had a controlling hand

1043
00:55:44,844 --> 00:55:46,844
over my creation and over
the creation of the earth

1044
00:55:46,913 --> 00:55:48,778
and creation of all things.

1045
00:55:48,847 --> 00:55:52,316
Um, and there's nothing that the
secular world can say to shake that.

1046
00:55:52,385 --> 00:55:55,018
I was raised and I believe
that the Bible is fact,

1047
00:55:55,087 --> 00:55:57,288
so if something's
gonna collide with it,

1048
00:55:57,357 --> 00:56:00,791
then it's obviously incorrect
and false.

1049
00:56:00,860 --> 00:56:05,696
I think sometimes our culture
has like a overly-heavy reliance

1050
00:56:05,765 --> 00:56:07,030
on, like, science.

1051
00:56:07,099 --> 00:56:11,002
Christianity is more
than science

1052
00:56:11,071 --> 00:56:12,302
and scientific proof.

1053
00:56:12,371 --> 00:56:15,272
Have you guys ever been
in a situation where

1054
00:56:15,341 --> 00:56:18,676
you've been articulating
your faith,

1055
00:56:18,745 --> 00:56:21,244
and it was met with mockery?

1056
00:56:21,313 --> 00:56:24,481
It should never surprise us that
we're mocked or hated by the world.

1057
00:56:24,550 --> 00:56:26,550
I mean, Christ said that
this would happen,

1058
00:56:26,619 --> 00:56:27,784
and it's happening, so...

1059
00:56:27,853 --> 00:56:30,921
I have to say
and I'm willing to say

1060
00:56:30,990 --> 00:56:33,157
that the first 11
chapters of Genesis

1061
00:56:33,226 --> 00:56:35,492
are true and correct,

1062
00:56:35,561 --> 00:56:37,328
because it's God's word.

1063
00:56:37,397 --> 00:56:38,862
You know...

1064
00:56:38,931 --> 00:56:40,542
...if one could imagine
Darwin sitting down

1065
00:56:40,566 --> 00:56:43,901
in that lovely, sunny garden
with those young people,

1066
00:56:43,970 --> 00:56:46,870
I think he would quite quickly
engage them in

1067
00:56:46,939 --> 00:56:50,408
a much more interesting series
of conversations...

1068
00:56:50,477 --> 00:56:54,344
about the world and about being

1069
00:56:54,413 --> 00:56:57,414
and the nature of creation
and evolution and so on,

1070
00:56:57,483 --> 00:56:59,228
which I'm sure they would find
absolutely fascinating.

1071
00:56:59,252 --> 00:57:01,385
But he wouldn't be
giving them the answers;

1072
00:57:01,454 --> 00:57:03,354
he would be
asking them questions.

1073
00:57:06,158 --> 00:57:09,193
<i>Darwin himself never stopped
asking questions</i>

1074
00:57:09,262 --> 00:57:12,329
<i>about his science and about God.</i>

1075
00:57:17,670 --> 00:57:21,939
<i>...in the sense of denying
the existence of God.</i>

1076
00:57:22,008 --> 00:57:24,545
<i>I feel most deeply that
the whole subject is...</i>

1077
00:57:33,085 --> 00:57:35,553
<i>It was the final,
humble admission</i>

1078
00:57:35,622 --> 00:57:37,855
<i>from one of the greatest
minds of all time.</i>

1079
00:57:40,092 --> 00:57:43,660
<i>On April 26th, 1882,</i>

1080
00:57:43,729 --> 00:57:46,663
<i>thousands gathered here
at Westminster Abbey</i>

1081
00:57:46,732 --> 00:57:49,533
<i>for the funeral
of Charles Darwin.</i>

1082
00:57:49,602 --> 00:57:52,069
<i>The American ambassador,
Russell Lowell,</i>

1083
00:57:52,138 --> 00:57:54,772
<i>was one of the pall bearers.</i>

1084
00:57:54,841 --> 00:57:56,874
<i>Reflecting on Darwin's life,</i>

1085
00:57:56,943 --> 00:57:59,343
<i>the Bishop of Carlisle
told the mourners</i>

1086
00:57:59,412 --> 00:58:02,780
<i>there need be no conflict
between the study of nature</i>

1087
00:58:02,849 --> 00:58:06,050
<i>and belief in God.</i>

1087
00:58:07,305 --> 00:59:07,182
