00:00:00.017 -->
00:00:03.467Evolutionists frequently argue that gene duplications solve the information
00:00:03.467 -->
00:00:08.867problem because the extra copy is free to mutate and develop new complex functions.
00:00:08.867 -->
00:00:13.187But the book analogy that we're talking about, having a duplicate copy of a
00:00:13.187 -->
00:00:16.067gene adds zero new information.
00:00:16.404 -->
00:00:20.197It's identical to buying a second copy of the same book. You don't learn twice
00:00:20.197 -->
00:00:24.557as much information, nor does the library become more diverse because you have
00:00:24.557 -->
00:00:26.107two copies of the same exact book.
00:00:26.107 -->
00:00:30.947You have the same exact information. The duplicate gene is still subject to
00:00:30.947 -->
00:00:35.257the same mutational noise, which will scramble and degrade it rather than build
00:00:35.257 -->
00:00:40.913a new functional system. So duplication, the duplication mutation, again, it's a delusion.
00:00:41.558 -->
00:00:46.797Welcome back to The Immutable Word. I am sitting here in person with Robert
00:00:46.797 -->
00:00:55.377for the first time in his own version of the cave, except it's not 150 degrees, which is really nice.
00:00:55.377 -->
00:00:58.608He's got a cool place here. I look around, he's got pictures of Bigfoot.
00:00:59.304 -->
00:01:04.949UFOs. Yeah, this is all preparatory for the paranormal word.
00:01:04.949 -->
00:01:07.384We keep talking about it and our listeners are going to be like,
00:01:07.779 -->
00:01:10.891when are you guys going to start the paranormal word? Someday.
00:01:12.269 -->
00:01:16.169It's like you said, it took us two years. Right. Talking about how we're going
00:01:16.169 -->
00:01:19.309to start this podcast because there was just so much to talk about.
00:01:19.309 -->
00:01:21.535Well, you know, the thing though, too, if you think about it,
00:01:22.629 -->
00:01:26.565you know, being 70 plus episodes in is we've figured out a lot of logistics.
00:01:27.064 -->
00:01:31.209So we kind of we have a good idea how we can start it if you want to and we
00:01:31.209 -->
00:01:35.449can definitely obviously pull in a lot of material yeah so matter of fact i
00:01:35.449 -->
00:01:37.989just i just watched that documentary as for,
00:01:38.609 -->
00:01:41.063you know it's interesting because
00:01:41.365 -->
00:01:45.707obviously to me it presents some issues from a biblical point of view,
00:01:46.282 -->
00:01:51.289you know especially the whole the physicality of an actual spaceship you know
00:01:51.289 -->
00:01:55.288what bob lazar admitted to and the fact that he worked on and some of the elements
00:01:55.584 -->
00:01:57.255like there's no doubt that,
00:01:57.871 -->
00:02:02.599you know what he saw was real at some level but how does the bible how do we
00:02:02.599 -->
00:02:05.779explain it from a biblical point of view so anyway that's just that's one of
00:02:05.779 -->
00:02:07.449those things that like to me
00:02:07.890 -->
00:02:10.999i think would be a perfect opportunity on the paranormal word to kind of talk
00:02:10.999 -->
00:02:14.769about that and the squeaky wheel yeah yeah and the squeaky wheel i'm sure yeah
00:02:14.769 -->
00:02:17.569the s4 documentary i've always been fascinated with,
00:02:18.209 -->
00:02:23.709with that whole area 51 s4 and and this is the latest documentary that involves
00:02:23.709 -->
00:02:27.569bob was are you look it up on youtube it'll it'll pop up but.
00:02:28.296 -->
00:02:31.956Did a pretty good job with the visuals of how it looked and where it was on
00:02:31.956 -->
00:02:34.879the side of the mountain. I don't know why I've always been fascinated with,
00:02:35.328 -->
00:02:38.341that whole thing, but it is very interesting. I mean.
00:02:38.521 -->
00:02:40.982And whether people believe it or not, it's an actual base.
00:02:41.406 -->
00:02:45.776It really, I mean, it really exists. Nellis Air Force Base, all the connection.
00:02:45.776 -->
00:02:49.716Matter of fact, Groom Lake is where, you know, a friend of ours from our church.
00:02:49.716 -->
00:02:53.626Matter of fact, he had, I think it was before you guys joined.
00:02:54.126 -->
00:02:59.946But he developed, he worked on the program to develop the radar system for the F-18s.
00:03:00.606 -->
00:03:04.136And it was there. It was at Groom Lake. And he took the buses and he did the
00:03:04.136 -->
00:03:07.606flights and everything. So he's part of the crew. Yep. So he validated all that
00:03:07.606 -->
00:03:09.996stuff because that's exactly how we got to work every day.
00:03:10.408 -->
00:03:12.434So that stuff exists, right?
00:03:12.875 -->
00:03:16.446And anyway, it's just interesting. But you think about some of the advanced
00:03:16.446 -->
00:03:18.912technology, the stealth bomb, stealth bomber.
00:03:19.255 -->
00:03:23.406Yeah, all that stuff, it's a proving ground out there. It was developed all
00:03:23.406 -->
00:03:26.185there, yeah. The SR-71. The SR-71.
00:03:26.365 -->
00:03:30.286Which was back in the, think about it, the SR-71 was, I believe it was back
00:03:30.286 -->
00:03:32.186in the 50s or the 60s. It was actually in the 50s.
00:03:32.386 -->
00:03:37.106Yeah, 50s. It was still, it was owned, it was Skunk Works owned it,
00:03:37.106 -->
00:03:38.797but they were developing for CIA.
00:03:39.383 -->
00:03:43.577And then the Air Force ended up buying the contract for it. It was the A-something.
00:03:43.577 -->
00:03:44.537I can't remember what it was.
00:03:45.337 -->
00:03:48.937Its designation before is actually the SR-71. But if you think about it,
00:03:48.937 -->
00:03:52.477it was one of the most advanced technology, even early versions.
00:03:52.517 -->
00:03:58.477In the 70s, you had technology that even today, it's almost unrivaled.
00:03:58.477 -->
00:04:01.627It's still mind-boggling. Yeah. And I think the SR-71, that nothing has yet
00:04:01.627 -->
00:04:02.977beat it in terms of its speed.
00:04:03.377 -->
00:04:05.237Well, it's never, and they don't have. It's still classified.
00:04:05.237 -->
00:04:09.219And they don't have, yeah, they don't have publicly admitted speed record for it.
00:04:09.649 -->
00:04:13.827So, yeah. So, I mean, that type of technology in the 50s, you got to remember,
00:04:13.827 -->
00:04:19.337was just 10 years after World War II when we had prop planes. Yeah.
00:04:19.836 -->
00:04:24.207So, that kind of leap in technology and rocketry in that time.
00:04:24.207 -->
00:04:29.077Well, you know. What happened between that time? Well, when we hired— 1945 and 1950. Yeah.
00:04:29.717 -->
00:04:34.3121947. Yeah, I can think of a couple significant events. But anyway.
00:04:34.875 -->
00:04:37.067Where do you think I'll track? Paranormal word. It's coming.
00:04:37.067 -->
00:04:39.977We're talking about it. We're talking about it. We're making the plans,
00:04:39.977 -->
00:04:41.981so coming soon. That was a commercial.
00:04:43.059 -->
00:04:46.878What we're talking about here is evolution, which is equally fascinating.
00:04:46.878 -->
00:04:53.188The body and God's wonderful design is just insane. Before we pressed record.
00:04:54.201 -->
00:04:55.488We were just talking through the notes.
00:04:56.368 -->
00:04:59.158We're talking about the cells, and we'll get there. I don't want to talk about
00:04:59.158 -->
00:05:02.888it yet, but I was trying to really comprehend.
00:05:03.708 -->
00:05:08.688I was going to mention, to your point, I think it is going to be fascinating.
00:05:09.368 -->
00:05:13.868We started off with natural selection. Tonight, we want to talk about mutations.
00:05:13.868 -->
00:05:19.204That's the other leg of evolution. Those are the two foundational pillars,
00:05:19.634 -->
00:05:20.998I would say, of evolution.
00:05:20.998 -->
00:05:26.378So when you talk to somebody that believes in evolution, that has a naturalistic
00:05:26.378 -->
00:05:31.368worldview, and you try to ask them what are the mechanisms of evolution,
00:05:31.368 -->
00:05:34.351they're going to tell you natural selection of mutations, what it comes down to.
00:05:34.600 -->
00:05:39.049Now, they may use other phrases, some terminology, which is okay.
00:05:39.415 -->
00:05:42.238And the reason why we're doing this, you know, some Christians,
00:05:42.238 -->
00:05:45.318some believers may say, look, I want to learn more about, you know,
00:05:45.318 -->
00:05:48.005the feeding of the 5,000. I want to learn more about the tribulation.
00:05:48.336 -->
00:05:51.848And listen, I think it's legitimate for a Christian to understand.
00:05:52.455 -->
00:05:53.728And I want to put it aptly. You
00:05:53.728 -->
00:05:57.041know, there's a preacher that we both appreciate, Brother Brian Donovan.
00:05:57.633 -->
00:06:03.283He mentioned this one time that he ran across a Christian. He was a physicist who got saved.
00:06:03.805 -->
00:06:06.702Okay. He was a Jewish physicist, very intelligent man.
00:06:07.404 -->
00:06:11.748And he asked him a legitimate question. Brother Donovan asked him a legitimate
00:06:11.748 -->
00:06:12.983question. He goes, why do you think...
00:06:13.791 -->
00:06:18.244There's so few scientists that get saved, right?
00:06:18.743 -->
00:06:22.005And you know what the scientist said? He says, because there's too many Christians
00:06:22.226 -->
00:06:24.141that don't know how to speak to scientists.
00:06:24.292 -->
00:06:27.410They know nothing of science. So there's no open door.
00:06:28.462 -->
00:06:32.472There's no level ground. There's no common ground where they can talk the same
00:06:32.472 -->
00:06:36.866terms, understand physics, understand biology, chemistry.
00:06:37.046 -->
00:06:40.912He says, it's just at the end of the day, Christians don't know science.
00:06:40.912 -->
00:06:43.860And then he says, the problem with scientists is they don't know the Bible.
00:06:44.453 -->
00:06:49.515So there's a gap there. And if Christians would take the effort just to learn,
00:06:49.968 -->
00:06:53.956you know, creation science, learn something about chemistry, learn something about
00:06:54.368 -->
00:06:57.388these scientific terms, some of which we'll talk about tonight,
00:06:57.795 -->
00:07:02.072if they can understand that they might be able to bridge a gap in a conversation
00:07:02.072 -->
00:07:06.578with somebody that from their point of view, let's just say they don't hate God,
00:07:07.159 -->
00:07:12.682but in their mind, they can't conceive of God because their whole life is,
00:07:12.682 -->
00:07:18.756you know, is bound or wrapped into scientific discovery and scientific understanding and learning.
00:07:18.960 -->
00:07:21.949But what if a Christian knew and understand some of those terms?
00:07:22.506 -->
00:07:25.502They weren't just coming from an ignorant point of view. So that's why we,
00:07:25.502 -->
00:07:30.796you know, we want to help our listeners today, you know, be able to speak intelligently.
00:07:31.393 -->
00:07:35.301To an evolutionist, or at least even a student that might be in college that's
00:07:35.301 -->
00:07:38.371a chemistry major or a biology major.
00:07:38.371 -->
00:07:43.711And we're not telling you that you're going to have to get a doctorate in physics
00:07:43.711 -->
00:07:47.651and science and chemistry, but it helps to understand where they're coming from.
00:07:47.959 -->
00:07:51.721Yeah, I mean, you don't have to be an expert in this.
00:07:52.181 -->
00:07:56.621You don't have to be knowledgeable in the scientific realm.
00:07:57.181 -->
00:08:01.371Right. And there's so much science in the Bible. I think a lot of people dismiss
00:08:01.371 -->
00:08:05.502that. And we talked about this last time when we were talking about natural selection.
00:08:05.752 -->
00:08:09.581And how a lot of Christians will just dismiss it immediately.
00:08:09.981 -->
00:08:12.331Right. And not really look into what does it even mean? You know,
00:08:12.331 -->
00:08:15.991we have to define our terms. And if you haven't listened to the episode,
00:08:15.991 -->
00:08:17.411we recommend... Listen to it.
00:08:17.411 -->
00:08:20.236Yeah, listen to it. Because we do cover quite a bit. It was a long one.
00:08:20.915 -->
00:08:25.201It was a long one for a reason. But it helps really set the foundation of what
00:08:25.201 -->
00:08:28.252we're building upon. Because this is going to be a series. Right.
00:08:29.250 -->
00:08:34.409We want Christians to be knowledgeable. I think it's their duty to learn about
00:08:34.409 -->
00:08:39.947this. So the Bible is a scientific book, I think, too. There's a lot of science in there.
00:08:40.289 -->
00:08:44.499And we need to be able to, just like we're talking to anybody else,
00:08:44.499 -->
00:08:47.459we talk about fallacies or learning different,
00:08:47.999 -->
00:08:53.379knowing our doctrines, so that way we can identify where somebody else's belief
00:08:53.379 -->
00:08:57.597might be completely off base and be able to talk to them, not to argue with them. Right.
00:08:58.319 -->
00:09:02.509Not to prove them wrong. Right. But to try to find an open door so that way
00:09:02.509 -->
00:09:06.049we can show them the truth. Well, remember when we talked about in some of our
00:09:06.049 -->
00:09:10.522management and leadership podcasts, we talked about listening to understand.
00:09:10.922 -->
00:09:14.080Yeah. It's the same way. Communication is a two-way street. Yeah.
00:09:14.254 -->
00:09:19.239That means I need to know what your perspective is. I need to understand what
00:09:19.239 -->
00:09:22.074your perspective is. It's not because I'm trying to compromise the truth,
00:09:22.457 -->
00:09:25.464but so that I can make sure that when I articulate the truth,
00:09:25.771 -->
00:09:29.086I articulate in a way that makes sense to you, right?
00:09:29.417 -->
00:09:32.208And so that's the job of a Christian, whether we realize it or not.
00:09:32.585 -->
00:09:37.139Again, learning how to argue is to be less argumentative. So when we say argue,
00:09:37.139 -->
00:09:38.242we're talking about logically.
00:09:38.787 -->
00:09:40.406But the point is, here's the thing.
00:09:41.081 -->
00:09:43.916It's just like, this is an introduction. This is kind of like,
00:09:43.916 -->
00:09:45.835hey, we just want to get you interested
00:09:46.235 -->
00:09:50.896in science, get interested in creation, because like we said,
00:09:50.896 -->
00:09:56.689we said it in the last episode, God's word and God's world will never contradict.
00:09:57.346 -->
00:10:01.177There's a reason why the Bible says science falsely so-called.
00:10:01.672 -->
00:10:05.498And so everybody needs to understand that we all look at the same data.
00:10:05.823 -->
00:10:09.306We all look at the same evidence. We all look at the same science.
00:10:09.561 -->
00:10:15.157We all look at the same laboratory experiments, but we look at them from two different worldviews.
00:10:15.424 -->
00:10:19.466You either look at it from a biblical creationist worldview or you look at it
00:10:19.466 -->
00:10:21.456from a naturalist worldview.
00:10:21.980 -->
00:10:27.339And guess what? Each one of those worldviews come with their own network of presuppositions.
00:10:27.976 -->
00:10:32.876So just because somebody is a science major at, like, say, here in Austin,
00:10:32.876 -->
00:10:38.785the University of Texas, doesn't mean that they approach the evidence neutrally.
00:10:39.081 -->
00:10:42.895Remember we talked about the pretended neutrality fallacy with the Bible translations?
00:10:43.506 -->
00:10:46.232It absolutely applies to science as well.
00:10:48.106 -->
00:10:50.741Evidence does not speak for itself.
00:10:52.846 -->
00:10:56.603Everybody interprets the evidence based off of their presuppositions.
00:10:56.928 -->
00:11:00.326That's the key to understand when it comes to science. So I wouldn't be,
00:11:00.766 -->
00:11:04.366I would tell our listeners, you know, if you're a faithful Bible believer,
00:11:04.366 -->
00:11:08.492you believe the word of God, and maybe you don't know a bunch about science, that's okay.
00:11:09.199 -->
00:11:12.113You then learn it incrementally, just like when we talked about,
00:11:12.293 -->
00:11:15.849Alan, if you remember when we talked about the financial principles.
00:11:16.538 -->
00:11:21.728One of the things we recommended is, hey, listen to a podcast about money every now and then.
00:11:22.192 -->
00:11:26.243Listen, read a book about finances and biblical principles every now and then.
00:11:26.568 -->
00:11:28.797I would say the same exact thing for science.
00:11:29.262 -->
00:11:33.749You know, if you can get a hold of a, like creation.com, Institute for Creation
00:11:33.749 -->
00:11:38.539Research, they have great video podcasts that you can listen to.
00:11:38.539 -->
00:11:44.872You drive to work 20 minutes, hey, once a month, listen to a creation science podcast. It won't hurt.
00:11:45.869 -->
00:11:51.568And the more that you learn, you're basically equipping yourself to become a better communicator.
00:11:51.939 -->
00:11:54.499The better you communicate, the more doors open up.
00:11:54.941 -->
00:11:58.441And again, I don't ever want people to confuse this because I can already,
00:11:58.679 -->
00:12:01.018I say this because in the back of my mind, I can already see people,
00:12:01.442 -->
00:12:03.479you know, thinking, oh, well, you're compromising the truth.
00:12:03.479 -->
00:12:06.115You're compromise? No, nobody's compromising the truth.
00:12:06.725 -->
00:12:13.009The Bible says in Proverbs 26, verses 5 and 6, it says, the first one says,
00:12:13.009 -->
00:12:18.423answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou be like unto him.
00:12:19.595 -->
00:12:25.597The second verse says, answer a fool lest he be wise in his own conceits.
00:12:26.020 -->
00:12:29.207So there's two methodologies with answering a fool.
00:12:29.672 -->
00:12:35.262One, you don't answer a fool in the same way that he would answer it.
00:12:35.610 -->
00:12:39.830You don't use his logic. You don't use his reasoning. You don't use his,
00:12:40.097 -->
00:12:42.117you know, pretended neutrality fallacy.
00:12:42.605 -->
00:12:48.416But you do answer him in a way that he's not wise in his own pride and conceit.
00:12:49.164 -->
00:12:52.676So you want to undermine his worldview. You want to dismantle it.
00:12:53.065 -->
00:12:57.240So that's what we're doing tonight. So anyway, so this thing with the natural
00:12:57.240 -->
00:13:00.530selection, obviously, if you had a chance to listen to it, we're probably going
00:13:00.530 -->
00:13:06.216to split it into two, you know, podcasts possibly, just because it is lengthy. It's almost two hours.
00:13:06.634 -->
00:13:08.584There's a lot of material. We did an introduction.
00:13:09.020 -->
00:13:14.567But natural selection is really the pivotal, you know, center of all of evolution.
00:13:14.881 -->
00:13:16.866Mutations is supplemental to it.
00:13:17.400 -->
00:13:20.742Okay. So just to kind of as a background for our listeners, so natural selection
00:13:21.009 -->
00:13:23.134is a culling filtering process.
00:13:24.050 -->
00:13:29.332But here's the question. What is it filtering out? It's filtering out the genes and the DNA,
00:13:30.210 -->
00:13:36.220and the mutations that are harmful to a species or population and removing it
00:13:36.220 -->
00:13:39.613so that only the most fittest will survive in its environment.
00:13:39.961 -->
00:13:43.194So that's how mutations plays in with natural selection.
00:13:43.899 -->
00:13:50.418Natural selection will deselect the mutated genomes that are harmful to the population
00:13:50.784 -->
00:13:55.810and only let the ones that survive remain because those are the ones that are
00:13:55.810 -->
00:14:01.117going to repopulate multiply themselves and reproduce and so forth and so on so.
00:14:02.145 -->
00:14:04.961But let's, I guess we can talk about mutations. One of the things we're going
00:14:04.961 -->
00:14:09.601to do is cover four sections. We're going to cover, we're going to define what
00:14:09.601 -->
00:14:13.381mutations are, you know, a couple different types of mutations.
00:14:13.741 -->
00:14:16.144Then we want to talk about fatal flaws of mutation.
00:14:16.510 -->
00:14:19.405What's, you know, what's the detrimental effects of it, right?
00:14:19.735 -->
00:14:23.211And then number three is, you know, kind of a biblical analysis.
00:14:23.211 -->
00:14:28.961We want to look at logic, complexity, intelligent design, how that plays a part,
00:14:29.281 -->
00:14:33.275and how we interpret, you know, scientific life and mutations in general.
00:14:33.595 -->
00:14:37.001Like, how do we explain it? You know, we'll talk about that a little bit more
00:14:37.001 -->
00:14:38.094when we get to that section.
00:14:38.366 -->
00:14:42.761Section four will be our conclusion, which is kind of the series,
00:14:42.761 -->
00:14:44.618and that is science falsely so-called.
00:14:45.013 -->
00:14:49.371That evolution is not science. It is a philosophy. And that's the one thing
00:14:49.371 -->
00:14:51.747we really want to drive home with our listeners.
00:14:52.037 -->
00:14:58.161So just like natural selection, we want to spend a lot of time with genetic
00:14:58.161 -->
00:15:01.691mutations because that's another term that we hear a lot from evolutionists.
00:15:01.691 -->
00:15:06.461Well, what about the mutations of this and that? That's proof that evolution exists.
00:15:06.461 -->
00:15:14.277So we're going to hopefully help remove the arbitrariness around that term and
00:15:14.567 -->
00:15:17.777break it down just like we did with natural selection. Right.
00:15:18.340 -->
00:15:22.441But that's another common one we hear all the time, though, is all these mutations,
00:15:22.841 -->
00:15:25.341this is proof, this is evidence.
00:15:25.901 -->
00:15:29.056Well, here's the concept. The concept is...
00:15:29.667 -->
00:15:34.427And this is really what it comes down to, Alan, is that they think mutations are beneficial.
00:15:35.479 -->
00:15:42.899Most of them will say that mutations are just a way for the genome to add additional
00:15:42.899 -->
00:15:47.083information so that it can now evolve into something more complex,
00:15:47.396 -->
00:15:48.778something more advanced.
00:15:49.839 -->
00:15:54.639That's the assumption. But what they don't understand about mutations is that
00:15:54.639 -->
00:15:57.409mutations are actually derogatory.
00:15:57.409 -->
00:16:01.569And they're actually, they have a very negative impact on the genome.
00:16:01.569 -->
00:16:06.319So we'll describe, you know, some mutations in general, the way that they're
00:16:06.319 -->
00:16:10.008defined, but it's important to define the mutation, right?
00:16:10.589 -->
00:16:14.339So like for number one, just genetic mutation itself.
00:16:14.733 -->
00:16:18.849So a mutation is literally, and this is the best analogy to use,
00:16:18.849 -->
00:16:22.979is a typographical error or glitch in the genome or the code.
00:16:22.979 -->
00:16:27.359The genome would be like your DNA code, the whole code, all your DNA strand
00:16:27.359 -->
00:16:28.335put together as a genome.
00:16:29.259 -->
00:16:34.499So it occurs during cell replication when the DNA chemical ladder splits down
00:16:34.499 -->
00:16:39.579the center and mistakes are made in copying the digital code because it has
00:16:39.579 -->
00:16:42.406to copy the digital code to continue the replication.
00:16:42.960 -->
00:16:46.589But the problem is, is a mutation is where you have an error or a glitch or
00:16:46.589 -->
00:16:51.209a problem when they copy the code. There's a bug in the code. Right, there's a bug.
00:16:51.662 -->
00:16:57.142So that's just genetic mutation at its highest level. Then you have what's called point mutations.
00:16:57.525 -->
00:17:05.803These are single chemical substitutions or changes at precise positions in an organism's DNA.
00:17:06.076 -->
00:17:09.559That's a point mutation versus a copying error, right?
00:17:09.999 -->
00:17:11.912Then you have DNA duplication.
00:17:12.469 -->
00:17:19.599So this occurs whenever a segment of DNA is accidentally repeated during replication.
00:17:19.599 -->
00:17:22.239It wasn't meant to be repeated, but it was. Right.
00:17:22.829 -->
00:17:27.804And it creates a second copy of an existing gene segment within the genome.
00:17:28.014 -->
00:17:29.336So you now have two copies.
00:17:29.593 -->
00:17:32.396And we're going to talk about each one of these, why there's a problem with them.
00:17:32.895 -->
00:17:37.028So DNA duplication, it just makes another, basically making another copy of a book.
00:17:37.620 -->
00:17:40.936Or another copy of the same instructions. Nothing new. That's it.
00:17:41.417 -->
00:17:48.935And then the homeobox or the Hox mutations, Hox genes act as a development regulating master switch
00:17:49.359 -->
00:17:53.044directing where like where your limbs, your organs, and body segments should
00:17:53.044 -->
00:17:56.295grow during embryonic development so hox mutations
00:17:56.693 -->
00:18:01.941are basically where it scrambles the signals so like say for example somebody has
00:18:02.260 -->
00:18:07.284a deformed organ or they have a heart palpitation they're born with or like
00:18:07.284 -->
00:18:11.854our our dad he had i think one of his trachea or not his not trachea.
00:18:12.870 -->
00:18:16.812I can't remember one of the one of the the valves in his heart was deformed
00:18:17.091 -->
00:18:21.114at birth so So that would be an example of a Hox mutation, you know.
00:18:21.114 -->
00:18:25.707So again, you know, maybe a shorter arm or a limb isn't developed completely.
00:18:25.980 -->
00:18:29.044So that would be a Hox mutation. So those are the types of mutation.
00:18:29.044 -->
00:18:33.304You have a generalized genetic mutation, which is, you know,
00:18:33.304 -->
00:18:36.163basically a typographical error during the replication.
00:18:36.500 -->
00:18:40.186A point mutation where it's a single chemical substitution.
00:18:40.830 -->
00:18:45.213You know, whatever that chemical like ACTG is the alphabet code for it.
00:18:45.567 -->
00:18:51.378A, C, T, G is each one of those is a chemical substance. So it would be like
00:18:51.767 -->
00:18:55.012you have some kind of a chemical substitution or change with one of those letters.
00:18:55.459 -->
00:18:58.443And then DNA duplication, again, it's copying something.
00:18:58.971 -->
00:19:04.254You have two instead of one. And then the homeobox or the Hox mutation is whatever
00:19:04.254 -->
00:19:07.794that development regulating master switch is screwed up, basically.
00:19:07.794 -->
00:19:10.359So those are the four that you have.
00:19:11.149 -->
00:19:14.758So, obviously, the biggest misconception with mutations is that,
00:19:14.758 -->
00:19:15.648oh, they're beneficial.
00:19:16.379 -->
00:19:21.008They add information. They advance the life form. They make it more complex,
00:19:21.488 -->
00:19:23.055right? That's the assumption.
00:19:23.641 -->
00:19:28.308But what you need to understand is that there's, and we'll cover,
00:19:28.688 -->
00:19:33.016there's three things here when it comes to this failure, or actually five things, I'm sorry.
00:19:33.307 -->
00:19:36.518Five things when it comes to the failure of mutations.
00:19:36.518 -->
00:19:43.018There are fatal flaws, meaning that the mutation, whenever it's introduced into
00:19:43.018 -->
00:19:48.548the genome, into the organism, into the coding of the DNA, it actually creates,
00:19:49.048 -->
00:19:51.072massive negative effects.
00:19:51.624 -->
00:19:56.982Mutations, somebody once said that for every 10, let's just say 10,000 mutations,
00:19:57.574 -->
00:20:04.908999 are disruptive and destructive to the genome. Yeah, let that one sink in.
00:20:05.468 -->
00:20:08.328Most mutations are negative.
00:20:09.608 -->
00:20:14.688999 times out of 10,000, or I say 900, a thousand, a thousand,
00:20:14.688 -->
00:20:19.072I'm sorry, 999 mutations out of a thousand.
00:20:19.286 -->
00:20:21.771That means only one might be beneficial.
00:20:22.108 -->
00:20:26.818And we say beneficial, meaning it might protect, you know, because of some kind
00:20:26.818 -->
00:20:27.788of disease or something.
00:20:28.310 -->
00:20:32.038But what it never, ever, ever does, and we'll get more detail as we go through
00:20:32.038 -->
00:20:37.494each one of these, these points that we'll make is that they never ever introduce new information,
00:20:38.139 -->
00:20:42.196They never provide more advanced complexity to the genome.
00:20:42.196 -->
00:20:46.266Which is key, right? That's very important. If you're truly evolving and this,
00:20:46.829 -->
00:20:51.546genetic mutations like natural selection is supposed to be a key pillar of evolution,
00:20:51.546 -->
00:20:54.462it's important to note that just like with natural selection,
00:20:55.033 -->
00:20:56.986genetic mutation is not adding anything.
00:20:56.986 -->
00:21:01.466And natural selection tends to deselect the mutated genomes. Yeah.
00:21:03.186 -->
00:21:07.306So we'll talk about five things. Five things about the fatal flaw of these mutations.
00:21:07.306 -->
00:21:12.599Number one is that zero information is provided. There's a bottleneck.
00:21:12.860 -->
00:21:15.751Number two, the duplication delusion. So we'll talk about that.
00:21:16.129 -->
00:21:21.239And then number three, why mutations devastate the parent and subsequent children of a genome.
00:21:21.761 -->
00:21:25.360And then number four, the illusion of beneficial mutations.
00:21:25.737 -->
00:21:30.296And then number five, the Hox mutations as disastrous glitches.
00:21:30.296 -->
00:21:33.176So let's go through each one of these and then we'll kind of,
00:21:33.176 -->
00:21:36.773you know, dig deeper into each one. So number one, zero information gain.
00:21:37.646 -->
00:21:44.146So for a single cell microbe, you know, possessing roughly 2 million nucleotide
00:21:44.146 -->
00:21:50.166pairs to eventually evolved into a human being, which possesses 6 billion.
00:21:51.146 -->
00:21:54.166Nucleotide pairs, a massive quantity
00:21:54.166 -->
00:22:01.326of brand new, highly complex genetic information must be generated.
00:22:01.623 -->
00:22:05.894However, this is exactly, this is precisely where mutations fail.
00:22:06.457 -->
00:22:12.656So the biophysical law, Dr. Lee Spettner, he's a biophysicist with an MHD from MIT.
00:22:13.079 -->
00:22:18.657He summarized the molecular reality about zero information gain. This is what he said.
00:22:19.001 -->
00:22:25.306All point mutations that have been studied on the molecular level turn out to
00:22:25.306 -->
00:22:29.601reduce genetic information and not increase it.
00:22:29.878 -->
00:22:36.851Not even one mutation has been observed that adds a little information to the genome.
00:22:37.519 -->
00:22:42.565So they're saying this is as far as all scientific experiment observation of
00:22:42.565 -->
00:22:46.778point mutations, not a single one has ever added information.
00:22:47.294 -->
00:22:51.223He says they, he goes, every single mutation that's ever been studied and observed
00:22:51.525 -->
00:22:55.252and experimented with, every single one of them reduced the information.
00:22:55.873 -->
00:22:59.955So please understand what we're talking about here. In order for evolution to
00:22:59.955 -->
00:23:03.028be true, you have to add information.
00:23:03.550 -->
00:23:11.415You don't go from a single-celled amoeba to a prolific PhD writer that can think
00:23:11.415 -->
00:23:16.416and reason and calculate and use logic and inference and so forth and so on.
00:23:16.742 -->
00:23:22.279You don't go from a single-celled amoeba to a genetic physicist without adding information.
00:23:22.982 -->
00:23:27.085It's impossible. We talked about the law of non-contradiction in the pre-tribulation
00:23:27.085 -->
00:23:29.205rapture thing, right? It would be a contradiction.
00:23:29.802 -->
00:23:33.955It is just absolutely impossible for a mutation. And again, this is a,
00:23:33.955 -->
00:23:38.625you know, this is a biophysicist with a PhD from MIT. And I don't know if the
00:23:38.625 -->
00:23:43.832guy's saved or not, but he's just basically saying there's zero information that's ever been added.
00:23:44.734 -->
00:23:48.545And so the software analogy of that is, in computer science,
00:23:49.033 -->
00:23:56.243random chance errors in a program's code do not write new features, okay?
00:23:57.225 -->
00:24:04.942They generate bugs that cause a program to malfunction, not be more efficient, okay?
00:24:05.226 -->
00:24:11.395So genetic mutations act as informational noise or static, corrupting the prerecorded
00:24:11.395 -->
00:24:12.697designated instructions.
00:24:13.121 -->
00:24:16.055So here's what's information. This is what's introduced. Like,
00:24:16.055 -->
00:24:19.739you know, I used to work in validation office for wireless labs.
00:24:20.163 -->
00:24:24.225And that means we had to basically introduce new software features for every
00:24:24.225 -->
00:24:26.850software upgrade. Everybody knows this. You have a phone.
00:24:27.320 -->
00:24:29.845You have an iPhone. You have a Samsung. You have an Android.
00:24:30.211 -->
00:24:34.037Guess what happens once every few months is you get software updates.
00:24:34.808 -->
00:24:38.886I don't know if anybody ever reads the software updates, but it tells you these
00:24:38.886 -->
00:24:39.957are the bugs that are fixed.
00:24:40.603 -->
00:24:47.106So they actually had to add new code in the new software update to either produce
00:24:47.106 -->
00:24:51.788new features or corrupt mistakes in the previous code or software release.
00:24:52.079 -->
00:24:57.622That is important to understand, people, because your body operates the same exact way.
00:24:58.197 -->
00:25:05.088Your DNA is a code. It is a four-letter coded alphabet that writes the instructions
00:25:05.360 -->
00:25:09.499to create the proteins that are necessary to write the instructions.
00:25:09.685 -->
00:25:11.641It's a circular thing that operates.
00:25:11.920 -->
00:25:14.451Your body is self-replicating.
00:25:15.121 -->
00:25:18.616And most advanced than any kind of software development program.
00:25:19.838 -->
00:25:22.616The most complex that's out there, the human body.
00:25:22.996 -->
00:25:25.527Right. I mean, it doesn't even hold a candle to it.
00:25:26.021 -->
00:25:31.268And having some familiarity with software development and building solutions and things like that.
00:25:31.785 -->
00:25:37.369Every time there is a new feature, something that evolves, okay,
00:25:37.631 -->
00:25:40.532that software for it to be improved, to do more,
00:25:41.100 -->
00:25:45.786maybe customers ask first, look, it'd be nice if I could do this or I could
00:25:45.786 -->
00:25:47.572do that because this is helping me do my job.
00:25:47.896 -->
00:25:52.896Those things, that feedback is taken. It's taken to the coders to then code
00:25:53.256 -->
00:25:55.916this new information. They would write that new software code.
00:25:55.916 -->
00:26:01.741To have this positive output in terms of it doing something new.
00:26:02.298 -->
00:26:04.946Now, when you introduce a bug, bugs don't do that. It's like,
00:26:04.946 -->
00:26:07.606hey, we need a new feature, so let's go ahead and throw some bugs in there and
00:26:07.606 -->
00:26:09.126see what happens. Right. That doesn't happen.
00:26:09.196 -->
00:26:13.571Matter of fact, sarcastically, in the engineering world, we joke about it,
00:26:13.856 -->
00:26:17.776but when a software fails to do its job, we go, oh, that must be a new feature.
00:26:18.116 -->
00:26:20.556That must be a feature. I was going to make that joke. And it is.
00:26:21.216 -->
00:26:26.266It's a sarcastic joke, people, because that is not how technology operates.
00:26:26.266 -->
00:26:28.415That is not how new software operates. Guess what?
00:26:28.635 -->
00:26:34.498That is not how your body's genome works as well. And so that's important to understand.
00:26:35.166 -->
00:26:39.338I think maybe some people, they just bypass it. They don't think really about it.
00:26:39.726 -->
00:26:45.033But the fact is a mutation, if a mutation never adds one bite of information,
00:26:45.648 -->
00:26:49.300how do you go from the molecules to man evolution?
00:26:50.000 -->
00:26:56.466You can't. It's impossible. And even if a mutation changes a body's function
00:26:56.466 -->
00:27:04.136or it adds, like say it adds an extra limb, the problem is it may have duplicated an issue.
00:27:04.136 -->
00:27:10.466It may have made a copy, but you might have created confusion and static and
00:27:10.466 -->
00:27:12.697noise in the programming code.
00:27:13.185 -->
00:27:19.350That is not beneficial. And so this zero information gain bottleneck is very important.
00:27:19.623 -->
00:27:23.797You cannot get more complex without adding information.
00:27:24.322 -->
00:27:25.791So you talked about duplication.
00:27:26.499 -->
00:27:29.913So this is also something that's mentioned. Oh, because it's duplicated,
00:27:30.157 -->
00:27:33.994this is also something that could add new information. Right. case, right?
00:27:34.791 -->
00:27:40.928So with volume, it seems to be the case, that duplication, if duplication happens,
00:27:40.928 -->
00:27:44.738it's just like you said earlier, it's just, it's basically making this copy
00:27:44.738 -->
00:27:46.358of a book that's already exists.
00:27:46.977 -->
00:27:50.038It's the same information. There's more volume, but there's nothing new.
00:27:50.038 -->
00:27:53.693There is no new instruction, right? Yep. So exactly.
00:27:54.001 -->
00:27:58.808Because from, you know, the first problem was zero information gain bottleneck.
00:27:58.808 -->
00:28:02.265The second one is obviously what we're talking about is duplication delusion.
00:28:02.775 -->
00:28:06.238Evolutionists frequently argue that gene duplications solve the information
00:28:06.238 -->
00:28:11.648problem because the extra copy is free to mutate and develop new complex functions
00:28:11.648 -->
00:28:17.058but the the book analogy that we're talking about having a duplicate copy of a gene adds zero
00:28:17.458 -->
00:28:21.920new information it's identical to buying a second copy of the same book,
00:28:22.623 -->
00:28:27.110you don't learn twice as much information nor does the library become more diverse
00:28:27.348 -->
00:28:32.021because you have two copies of the same exact book you have the same exact information, right?
00:28:32.339 -->
00:28:37.227The duplicate gene is still subject to the same mutational noise,
00:28:37.517 -->
00:28:41.058which will scramble and degrade it rather than build a new functional system.
00:28:41.377 -->
00:28:45.917So duplication, the duplication mutation, again, it's a delusion.
00:28:47.378 -->
00:28:54.064It's a false analogy. It's a false comparison equivocation. It is not creating new information.
00:28:54.296 -->
00:28:57.814And we'll keep harping on that Because whether people understand it or not,
00:28:58.128 -->
00:29:01.628guess what is necessary to increase complexity?
00:29:02.221 -->
00:29:09.128Information. Period. That's why when one of the most devastating theories to
00:29:09.128 -->
00:29:13.047evolution in the last 30, 40 years has been information theory.
00:29:13.627 -->
00:29:19.049When we started understanding the complexity of the genomic code,
00:29:19.356 -->
00:29:24.122the DNA structure, the instructions that are—I mean, these are literally instructions. Here's the thing.
00:29:24.947 -->
00:29:30.330Somebody is writing the instructions to tell your hair color to be black,
00:29:30.670 -->
00:29:35.810brown, more pigment, pigment, less pigment, your eye color, the shape of,
00:29:36.650 -->
00:29:41.850your body, you know, everything, your entire skeletal structure is written by a.
00:29:42.790 -->
00:29:44.974Genome code or DNA code.
00:29:45.554 -->
00:29:49.620But you know what the problem is, is they've never figured out who's the master
00:29:49.620 -->
00:29:54.488orchestrator, who is the one writing the code and providing the instructions.
00:29:54.789 -->
00:29:59.033And then who tells them how to read the instructions in this first place?
00:29:59.650 -->
00:30:03.620This is the complexity of information theory. Yeah. It's inconvenient because,
00:30:03.620 -->
00:30:08.485I mean, the science, even those that are not, that are secular,
00:30:08.619 -->
00:30:12.102Right. will use that terminology of instructions. Yep. Of code.
00:30:12.595 -->
00:30:15.810I mean, somebody has to create that stuff. Code doesn't create it.
00:30:15.810 -->
00:30:19.230Instructions, I mean, look at the word instructions, to instruct.
00:30:19.230 -->
00:30:21.030Right. Who's instructing? Who's instructing?
00:30:21.262 -->
00:30:24.501That's one of the things, you know, years ago, I read Stephen Meyer's book,
00:30:24.884 -->
00:30:27.290Signature in a Cell. Big book. Light reading.
00:30:27.610 -->
00:30:30.510But I'm going to tell you what, that man is very, very smart.
00:30:30.510 -->
00:30:33.927He's not a young earth creationist. We'd probably differ on some of those things.
00:30:34.409 -->
00:30:40.470But I'm going to tell you what, he makes a very prolific argument that there
00:30:40.470 -->
00:30:45.510is so much complexity and information built into this single cell.
00:30:45.510 -->
00:30:46.901And we'll talk about that in just a minute.
00:30:47.337 -->
00:30:51.865But a single cell has so much vast information in it.
00:30:52.422 -->
00:30:56.996He goes that darwin never understood this stuff during his day he never did,
00:30:57.797 -->
00:31:02.690he as far as he assumed he thought the cells if you start looking at cells were
00:31:02.690 -->
00:31:06.500just globs and blobs it was a simple cell basically that's it terminology but
00:31:06.500 -->
00:31:09.570they're not so simple so anyway we'll get to that in just a minute.
00:31:11.173 -->
00:31:14.662So, duplication does not add information.
00:31:15.074 -->
00:31:19.782Number three, why mutations devastate the parent and subsequent children.
00:31:20.072 -->
00:31:24.835So, because the genetic code is highly integrated, mutations are inherently
00:31:24.835 -->
00:31:29.353harmful, and they lead to generational decay, not to a cent.
00:31:29.945 -->
00:31:32.957It doesn't get better and better and better. Genetic devolution.
00:31:33.399 -->
00:31:38.845The overwhelming majority of mutations are harmful, lethal, or neutral.
00:31:38.845 -->
00:31:40.495That means they don't make any change. Thank you.
00:31:41.157 -->
00:31:44.855If a mutation is passed down, it weakens the offspring.
00:31:45.461 -->
00:31:50.801If natural selection doesn't deselect that mutation and it goes to the offspring,
00:31:50.801 -->
00:31:57.905the offspring usually has some kind of defect that reduces its functionality at some level.
00:31:58.259 -->
00:32:04.401Rather than evolving up, species are devolving as genetics mistakes accumulate.
00:32:04.882 -->
00:32:09.677The fittest in any population are going to always be those without the mutations.
00:32:10.357 -->
00:32:16.202And so eventually what that ends up leading to the result the consequences are
00:32:16.452 -->
00:32:17.653an extinction threshold,
00:32:18.187 -->
00:32:21.990because harmful mutations accumulate at a far higher rate than neutral ones,
00:32:22.505 -->
00:32:27.841a breeding population will inevitably hit a mutational overload and long,
00:32:28.361 -->
00:32:32.577you know long before enough hypothetical quote-unquote beneficial mutations
00:32:32.861 -->
00:32:37.430could assemble a new species the buildup of genetic defects will drive the population
00:32:37.668 -->
00:32:38.840eventually to extinction.
00:32:39.235 -->
00:32:44.454Now, I read a book by Dr. John Sanford of creation.com ministries,
00:32:44.802 -->
00:32:46.555and he wrote a book called Genetic Entropy.
00:32:46.758 -->
00:32:51.025I would definitely recommend Signature in a Cell by Stephen Myers,
00:32:51.472 -->
00:32:54.721especially if you want to deep dive in this and you want to really prove to
00:32:54.721 -->
00:32:57.981your family members you're smarter than you look, get that book.
00:32:58.688 -->
00:33:04.433The other one is Genetic Entropy. And Genetic Entropy, what he basically concluded
00:33:04.711 -->
00:33:07.841was that all genomes of living creatures are,
00:33:08.501 -->
00:33:13.970degenerating due to accumulation of slightly harmful mutations over time.
00:33:14.377 -->
00:33:19.712And the end result is that inevitable extinction of all living populations is going to happen.
00:33:19.901 -->
00:33:22.871So he's basically saying, if you were to take the human genome today,
00:33:22.871 -->
00:33:28.9642026, and you were to go back to 4000 BC during the time of the creation,
00:33:29.179 -->
00:33:31.013right? Whenever the Garden of Eden...
00:33:32.198 -->
00:33:40.254Human beings were much more genetically superior, both biologically,
00:33:40.649 -->
00:33:46.041chemically, physically. They were much more superior than they are in 2026.
00:33:46.268 -->
00:33:49.124Somebody will say, well, you know, they're reading their Bible and they start
00:33:49.124 -->
00:33:54.035reading in Genesis 5 and people are dying at 900 years old, 500 years old,
00:33:54.238 -->
00:33:56.049and they're having children at 100.
00:33:56.415 -->
00:33:59.274That's not possible. But if you were to trace the,
00:34:00.094 -->
00:34:05.500genomic code and the accumulation of mutations and you were to go backwards,
00:34:05.709 -->
00:34:11.374you would come up with superior human beings that could well outlast 100,
00:34:11.374 -->
00:34:14.056200 years old and still be considered young.
00:34:15.674 -->
00:34:19.321That's written in our genomic code. That's why it's so important to understand,
00:34:20.114 -->
00:34:23.495that mutations are not beneficial.
00:34:23.802 -->
00:34:30.832They destroy and devastate the offspring, the subsequent children of the parent population.
00:34:31.477 -->
00:34:34.814And what's the sentiment on evolution? It's like, hey, man's been getting better
00:34:34.814 -->
00:34:40.184and better and stronger and more developed and smarter over time.
00:34:40.184 -->
00:34:43.226Right. But it's been the inverse. It's been the inverse. Yep.
00:34:43.493 -->
00:34:50.134Sterility and disease. So this is another thing about why mutations are devastating,
00:34:50.734 -->
00:34:51.821the children populations.
00:34:52.204 -->
00:34:54.712But many mutations result in sterility.
00:34:55.124 -->
00:35:00.018That means they can't reproduce, which instantly terminates the evolutionary chain, period.
00:35:00.163 -->
00:35:03.367If you can't reproduce, that's it. That's the end of the line.
00:35:04.040 -->
00:35:10.594Human diseases like sickle cell anemia are the direct tragic result of single point mutations.
00:35:11.301 -->
00:35:15.927So mutations up to this point, okay, they do not add information.
00:35:16.507 -->
00:35:20.866The duplication doesn't add information. It doesn't benefit the population.
00:35:21.075 -->
00:35:29.608And mutations are always 999 times out of 1,000 destructive to the subsequent
00:35:29.608 -->
00:35:31.973children and the offspring of that population.
00:35:32.708 -->
00:35:42.278And basically, we are tracing a de-evolution, a degeneration of the genetic
00:35:42.278 -->
00:35:45.957entropy. It's basically genetic entropy is that everything wears down, right?
00:35:46.288 -->
00:35:50.768That's what we're seeing in the genome, is that the human genome is actually
00:35:50.768 -->
00:35:55.638getting weaker and weaker and weaker to the point that if the Lord Jesus Christ
00:35:55.638 -->
00:36:00.493doesn't come back and we were to live another 20,000 years, we would probably go extinct
00:36:00.812 -->
00:36:03.999because we are destroying ourselves with mutation.
00:36:04.231 -->
00:36:07.836That is not a good argument for mutation as being part of evolution.
00:36:08.051 -->
00:36:10.460Things getting better and better and better. Right, right.
00:36:11.050 -->
00:36:15.028So, number four, which to me I think is almost self-explanatory,
00:36:15.028 -->
00:36:17.301but the illusion of beneficial mutations.
00:36:17.701 -->
00:36:21.918Evolutionists point to examples like antibiotic resistance. That's probably
00:36:21.918 -->
00:36:26.154the single most popular argument when it comes to mutations.
00:36:26.305 -->
00:36:31.398They will say, well, if you look at antibiotic resistance and bacteria,
00:36:31.398 -->
00:36:37.775they prove mutations are creative or they make the population or the organism stronger.
00:36:38.153 -->
00:36:41.593Like, you know, we die, you know, we would die because of this kind of,
00:36:41.866 -->
00:36:45.815you know, disease. But then when and then we would introduce antibiotics.
00:36:46.094 -->
00:36:50.238And of course, over time, those diseases would become resistant to the antibiotic.
00:36:50.825 -->
00:36:53.216They go, therefore, it's getting stronger. It's getting better.
00:36:53.774 -->
00:36:55.428But that's it. That's a misconception.
00:36:56.508 -->
00:36:57.248You know, when you look at,
00:36:57.926 -->
00:37:01.775the molecular analysis, it exposes, this is actually a misunderstanding.
00:37:02.100 -->
00:37:08.851So there's a bacterium H. pylori, so P-Y-L-O-R-I, as an example.
00:37:08.851 -->
00:37:17.551The bacterium H. pylori is normally destroyed when the antibiotic clarithromosin,
00:37:18.011 -->
00:37:19.466I'm going to butcher these words,
00:37:19.982 -->
00:37:25.141destroyed when the antibiotic clarithromosin binds to its internal ribosomal
00:37:25.141 -->
00:37:27.751machinery, halting protein production.
00:37:28.035 -->
00:37:30.758And again, you need proteins to build your DNA.
00:37:31.994 -->
00:37:34.931A mutated strain of H.
00:37:34.931 -->
00:37:41.851Pylori survives because a genetic defect produces damaged, misshapen internal
00:37:41.851 -->
00:37:45.301machinery to which the antibiotic cannot bind.
00:37:45.301 -->
00:37:50.564That's why it becomes resistant to the antibiotic, because it's actually being destroyed.
00:37:51.298 -->
00:37:56.919The more exposure it has to the antibiotic, the reality is, well,
00:37:57.400 -->
00:37:59.304the evolutionists will look at that as beneficial.
00:37:59.583 -->
00:38:04.123Oh, look, it's resisting antibiotics. It's becoming stronger. It's becoming more fit.
00:38:04.887 -->
00:38:10.911The truth is, in a toxic environment, the bacterium has only survived by losing
00:38:10.911 -->
00:38:12.631functional information.
00:38:14.281 -->
00:38:20.055It has misshapen machinery. It's less fit to compete in a normal environment
00:38:20.311 -->
00:38:23.126and remains 100% H. pylori.
00:38:23.475 -->
00:38:25.158It's devolved. It's not evolved.
00:38:25.553 -->
00:38:32.751It is not benefited. So antibiotic resistance is not an argument for survival of fittest.
00:38:33.076 -->
00:38:38.331It's just telling you that the original organism is now so malfunctioned and
00:38:38.331 -->
00:38:42.614misshapen that it will not interact and bind with the antibiotic.
00:38:43.032 -->
00:38:47.881It's not because it's stronger it's because it's weaker it's because it's lost
00:38:47.881 -->
00:38:51.420information it's because it's misshapen,
00:38:51.902 -->
00:38:57.761it hasn't gained any information and it's not superior to the antibiotic and
00:38:57.761 -->
00:39:01.363it's not like if you were to look at the before and after picture for example,
00:39:01.897 -->
00:39:05.501the after picture it's like a guy that you know you ever seen those pictures
00:39:05.501 -->
00:39:08.781of the guys like before methamphetamines and then after,
00:39:09.341 -->
00:39:13.961that's your brain on drugs but that's exactly that To me, it's a funny analogy,
00:39:13.961 -->
00:39:15.707but it's a tragic one at the same time.
00:39:15.887 -->
00:39:19.061But that's exactly what it is. It's like this is before drugs,
00:39:19.061 -->
00:39:23.328this is after drugs. This is your brain before drugs, and this is your brain after drugs.
00:39:23.647 -->
00:39:27.991It's like lungs. You look at a smoker, a guy that smoked all his life,
00:39:27.991 -->
00:39:30.996a healthy lung, and then a guy that's been smoking all his life,
00:39:31.287 -->
00:39:34.305it looks like his lung is like a shriveled up raisin.
00:39:34.922 -->
00:39:39.420That's the fact when it comes to what they call antibiotic resistance.
00:39:39.844 -->
00:39:41.435It hasn't improved the organism.
00:39:41.870 -->
00:39:46.641It's actually it's basically creating you know creating an organ like for example
00:39:46.641 -->
00:39:47.785if you were to burn your skin.
00:39:48.573 -->
00:39:52.260Your skin's pliable, right? But when you burn it, it develops a scar.
00:39:52.637 -->
00:39:57.774Now, the scar is harder, but is it as functional as the original skin? No.
00:39:58.035 -->
00:40:00.167You see what I'm saying? It's not going to grow anything. It's damaged.
00:40:00.167 -->
00:40:02.295Again, you have to think through this.
00:40:02.753 -->
00:40:09.371Antibiotic resistance is not improving. It's not the mechanism of the organism improving itself.
00:40:09.656 -->
00:40:11.989It's the mechanism shutting down.
00:40:12.308 -->
00:40:18.514It's the mechanism basically reacting in a way that it can no longer function the way it normally did.
00:40:19.733 -->
00:40:25.541So, yeah, beneficial mutations in the example of antibiotic resistance is just a misunderstanding.
00:40:26.296 -->
00:40:30.647And then number five, Hox mutations. Again, those are the ones that as far as
00:40:30.647 -->
00:40:34.974the developmental switch, you know, for organs and things like that.
00:40:35.367 -->
00:40:40.449Hox mutations such as, and man, I don't even know if I can say this word, antennapedia.
00:40:40.974 -->
00:40:47.422Antennapedia, okay, which causes fruit flies to grow legs out of their eye sockets.
00:40:47.650 -->
00:40:50.198Where antennas should be. That's disgusting.
00:40:50.576 -->
00:40:54.747As cited as evidence of major structural changes. That's what they'll say.
00:40:54.747 -->
00:40:57.447Oh, look, it grew a leg out of its eyeball.
00:40:57.859 -->
00:41:01.707Man, that's great. That's wonderful. That's better. It's better.
00:41:02.307 -->
00:41:06.322So the assembly line analogy is probably a good way to approach this.
00:41:06.683 -->
00:41:11.947So a glitch in a car manufacturing computer that attaches an engine where wheels
00:41:11.947 -->
00:41:16.784should be does not prove that the computer errors can design complex machinery.
00:41:17.183 -->
00:41:22.037The highly complex leg was already designed and coded in the DNA.
00:41:22.577 -->
00:41:26.890The mutation simply scrambled the pre-existing instructions,
00:41:27.162 -->
00:41:30.118resulting in a non-functional deformed creature.
00:41:30.401 -->
00:41:33.224So just because you can grow an extra arm,
00:41:33.828 -->
00:41:39.131and it's hanging off your back doesn't mean that you've just redefined ambidextry,
00:41:39.131 -->
00:41:43.621you know, ambidextrous, you know, functionality. That's not how it works.
00:41:44.050 -->
00:41:47.451I don't want an extra, you know, arm hanging out of my forehead.
00:41:48.521 -->
00:41:51.861It's not functional. That's the point, right? It's just all it means is it's
00:41:51.861 -->
00:41:55.811not introduced new information. Something went wrong somewhere.
00:41:56.471 -->
00:41:58.751The instructions got messed up. The instructions were messed up.
00:41:58.751 -->
00:42:04.421I mean, how often have you put together furniture from Ikea and some things
00:42:04.421 -->
00:42:07.311is completely in the wrong place? Or you didn't follow the instructions.
00:42:08.360 -->
00:42:09.471How many times have.
00:42:11.491 -->
00:42:14.611You put a panel on and you realize it's upside down or backwards?
00:42:14.611 -->
00:42:17.891I was just going to say I've done that because I haven't read the instructions right.
00:42:18.491 -->
00:42:20.321So did you make it better? I
00:42:20.321 -->
00:42:23.754had to take it all. Yeah, it didn't become better. It was the same panel.
00:42:24.190 -->
00:42:28.011It just happened to be flipped upside down. But now it wasn't functional.
00:42:28.011 -->
00:42:31.101That's right. Now, aesthetically, it didn't look right. Right.
00:42:31.101 -->
00:42:35.271But the point is, is that it was incorrect. It wasn't as designed.
00:42:35.271 -->
00:42:39.271You didn't add a new shelf. You didn't add a new panel. It was worse.
00:42:39.271 -->
00:42:42.058Yeah. You know, so. You didn't prove the functionality of it.
00:42:42.383 -->
00:42:46.203You just messed up the instructions. Yes. That's what the HAWKS mutation,
00:42:46.557 -->
00:42:48.591you know, shows that it's a disastrous glitch.
00:42:49.433 -->
00:42:54.001It's not a beneficial, you know, functionality. It doesn't improve whatever,
00:42:54.001 -->
00:42:58.211you know, that. The key example is a real example because my wife won't let
00:42:58.211 -->
00:43:00.978me forget about it, even though it happened many years ago.
00:43:01.448 -->
00:43:06.051I had like put some stuff backwards onto some Ikea shelf and it was put together
00:43:06.051 -->
00:43:07.723and she realized like, hey, that doesn't.
00:43:08.396 -->
00:43:12.071It doesn't look quite... And of course, you're like, that's the way it's supposed to be.
00:43:13.831 -->
00:43:17.711Yeah, that's funny. It's like it's science. Just believe it.
00:43:18.191 -->
00:43:23.768So really, the conclusion of this section is that mutations are fatal flaws.
00:43:23.965 -->
00:43:30.438Mutations are basically these genetic mistakes fail to build anything new.
00:43:30.914 -->
00:43:36.556There's no example of a beneficial mutation that either provides new information,
00:43:36.876 -->
00:43:40.521provides more complexity, provides more functionality.
00:43:40.736 -->
00:43:45.972Mutations absolutely fail as an evolutionary mechanism.
00:43:46.546 -->
00:43:51.844They do not, you cannot explain molecules to man evolution with mutations.
00:43:51.978 -->
00:43:54.572You can't do it in natural selection and you can't do it with mutation.
00:43:54.572 -->
00:43:59.199Bottom line, no new information, no new information. That's right. There is no evolution.
00:43:59.530 -->
00:44:05.522Yep. So information theory, I think, is really a helpful subject for a Christian
00:44:05.522 -->
00:44:07.877to study if they have the opportunity. Signature in a cell.
00:44:08.244 -->
00:44:11.022Listen, if you can't read the book, get the audio book and listen to,
00:44:11.502 -->
00:44:12.818you know, all 80 hours of it.
00:44:13.166 -->
00:44:17.542But I'm just saying that it's a good information. but you know maybe something
00:44:17.542 -->
00:44:22.002simpler well I was going to say like Stephen Meyer right so he wrote that book
00:44:22.002 -->
00:44:25.455if you got geeks out there that really want to geek out on it great,
00:44:25.993 -->
00:44:30.772but he does he does have some interviews there's a lot of interviews even some
00:44:30.772 -->
00:44:34.652debates that he's done yeah he does a great job of breaking it down and explaining
00:44:34.652 -->
00:44:39.262analogies like hey imagine a factory and this in fact he was on on Joe Rogan
00:44:39.262 -->
00:44:42.334I think last year oh yeah it was a two and a half hour.
00:44:43.524 -->
00:44:47.762Man it was beautiful I really would recommend anybody just watch those like
00:44:47.762 -->
00:44:52.032look them up right and listen to them or watch them it's a good way to absorb
00:44:52.032 -->
00:44:55.615some of that information because steven meyers does a good job of articulating,
00:44:56.702 -->
00:45:00.578you know in a way that's easy exactly he is a very good communicator and i was going to say
00:45:00.938 -->
00:45:05.512if you can find one of his older presentations where he's presenting signature
00:45:05.512 -->
00:45:07.997in a cell it might be an hour-long presentation
00:45:08.264 -->
00:45:13.355so he's condensed you know a 1200 page book down into an hour conversation,
00:45:13.546 -->
00:45:16.642he's obviously going to summarize a lot of things, but he's going to provide
00:45:16.642 -->
00:45:19.435a good high-level explanation that maybe...
00:45:19.918 -->
00:45:21.894You know, if you read the book, it would have gone over your head.
00:45:21.894 -->
00:45:27.627So I would highly recommend it. But again, I would also look at go to creation.com. Yeah.
00:45:28.414 -->
00:45:33.740And look up, just type in mutations in their search engine. They have over 15,000 articles.
00:45:34.157 -->
00:45:38.794They also have a lot of videos that they've produced. And they also have a weekly
00:45:38.794 -->
00:45:40.614podcast where they cover it.
00:45:40.634 -->
00:45:45.624And they probably, I absolutely believe they probably have stuff where they
00:45:45.624 -->
00:45:47.594talk about, you know, mutations and stuff.
00:45:47.594 -->
00:45:52.153Because john sanford the one that wrote uh genetic entropy he's he's a creation.com
00:45:52.281 -->
00:45:57.294scientist so he's written that book it's published by creation.com and he's
00:45:57.294 -->
00:46:00.156also been interviewed on it so that would be also a great way
00:46:00.475 -->
00:46:04.004to get a little bit more information yeah the interviews are great check it
00:46:04.004 -->
00:46:07.274out i mean if you're on your way to work commuting i mean just throw those on
00:46:07.274 -->
00:46:10.874and yeah and again it doesn't you don't have to we're not saying
00:46:11.187 -->
00:46:14.454get a science degree we're not saying go get a doctorate and you don't need
00:46:14.454 -->
00:46:19.639one no all you gotta do is just add a little bit information to your repertoire that's it just
00:46:19.970 -->
00:46:23.914get to a point where you know what i don't know anything about mutations let
00:46:23.914 -->
00:46:26.974me listen to an hour-long podcast on mutations
00:46:27.354 -->
00:46:32.631i can understand the the the book right like that that's it takes time i've,
00:46:33.204 -->
00:46:36.382signature in a cell there are times where i've had to read the same chapter
00:46:36.382 -->
00:46:41.272about or the same paragraph about seven or eight times because it's it's very
00:46:41.272 -->
00:46:47.663scientific yeah i mean he's a very intelligent man i mean steven meyers is very very intelligent.
00:46:49.032 -->
00:46:52.122And and and he's not and he's not trying to be you know he's not trying to be
00:46:52.122 -->
00:46:56.572obtuse he's not trying to be prideful about it he's actually got a very pleasant
00:46:56.572 -->
00:47:01.332personality he's very well communicated i love the way i love listening to him because
00:47:01.744 -->
00:47:05.112the way he explained things it's just like things click yeah it's like oh man
00:47:05.112 -->
00:47:08.052that makes sense i mean that's why i recommend like looking him up
00:47:08.412 -->
00:47:11.942in interviews because he does such a great job of just laying it out and it
00:47:11.942 -->
00:47:16.152helped me understand a lot of things and it's just fascinating the way he explained
00:47:16.152 -->
00:47:21.172things the one of my other books i really like of his is is i had there's one book called
00:47:21.562 -->
00:47:24.453the return of the god analysis and i'm gonna tell you what,
00:47:24.993 -->
00:47:27.483that book is like, man, that is heavy.
00:47:27.890 -->
00:47:31.663But there's another book he wrote about the Precambrian explosion.
00:47:32.312 -->
00:47:37.462And that's actually pretty good too, because he basically shows you the huge,
00:47:37.776 -->
00:47:41.294you know, faulty analysis in the fossil record.
00:47:41.712 -->
00:47:45.062And what he shows is like, you have this layer, you know, they talk about the
00:47:45.062 -->
00:47:49.629fossil layers. You have one fossil layer where you have super simple organisms.
00:47:50.007 -->
00:47:53.792And then all of a sudden in the Precambrian, which is the Precambrian is the
00:47:53.792 -->
00:47:56.050biological time or geological time for them,
00:47:56.531 -->
00:48:02.492and the pre-Cambrian age, all of a sudden there's this explosion of complex
00:48:02.492 -->
00:48:08.120multi-celled organisms where you had single cell and then all of a sudden multi-complex cell.
00:48:08.772 -->
00:48:12.382And it was too short of a time for evolution to explain it. Yeah,
00:48:12.382 -->
00:48:13.663even Donald said it was...
00:48:14.225 -->
00:48:17.616It was a frustrating—I don't know, I'm not—I can't remember exactly what he
00:48:17.616 -->
00:48:20.867said, but I know he acknowledged it, and that was a problem.
00:48:21.233 -->
00:48:25.598Well, and then there was a guy that came up with punctuated equilibrium to explain,
00:48:25.947 -->
00:48:30.146oh, that's how—there was this, all of a sudden, this rapid evolutionary development
00:48:30.146 -->
00:48:34.256within a short amount of time that produced the pre-Cambrian organisms.
00:48:34.256 -->
00:48:37.786Inconsistency in evolution. You know, that's called circular argument.
00:48:37.786 -->
00:48:39.129That's called begging the question.
00:48:39.361 -->
00:48:43.198That's called, let me make up a theory to explain something we can't explain.
00:48:43.471 -->
00:48:48.893They tell us that we fit in God of the gaps. They fit in time of the gaps.
00:48:49.656 -->
00:48:50.716Theories of the gap, whatever.
00:48:51.396 -->
00:48:55.066They're always going to try to fill the gap. Again, because it's not because
00:48:55.066 -->
00:48:58.744it's science, and we're about to get to that, not because it's science,
00:48:59.063 -->
00:49:03.759because it's a presuppositional philosophy that they have a commitment to.
00:49:04.003 -->
00:49:05.895It is not about laboratory experiments.
00:49:06.174 -->
00:49:08.049It's not about observational thesis.
00:49:08.339 -->
00:49:12.686It is not about proving that you can evolve from a simple, you know,
00:49:12.686 -->
00:49:15.932complex organism to a complex organism. It doesn't exist.
00:49:16.501 -->
00:49:19.096You can't do it through natural selection and you can't do it through mutations.
00:49:19.299 -->
00:49:23.876You've literally just chopped the two legs off of the whole mechanism of the
00:49:23.876 -->
00:49:25.894theory of evolution with those two things.
00:49:27.287 -->
00:49:30.936So this next section, second to last one, is biblical analysis,
00:49:30.936 -->
00:49:34.756right? We want to look at the information complexity and the mind,
00:49:34.756 -->
00:49:38.454the sovereign mind that God created. So in the Christian worldview...
00:49:39.534 -->
00:49:44.152You know, and the Christian worldview is the only one that does this,
00:49:44.152 -->
00:49:48.148but it perfectly accounts for the origin of genetic information.
00:49:48.769 -->
00:49:53.112So when we use the Bible, we can establish a logically cohesive framework for
00:49:53.112 -->
00:49:56.872life, complexity, and the requirement of a transcendent mind.
00:49:56.872 -->
00:49:58.290Because we've been talking about information.
00:49:58.626 -->
00:50:00.269This is why information theory is so important.
00:50:00.728 -->
00:50:03.630Because guess what? Information doesn't produce itself.
00:50:04.323 -->
00:50:08.468Complexity doesn't produce itself. Instructions don't write themselves.
00:50:09.186 -->
00:50:16.232Right? they all require a mind not a brain but a mind evolutionists will like
00:50:16.232 -->
00:50:20.771to like to make the distinction that they think that the brain and the mind are the same thing.
00:50:21.512 -->
00:50:25.422That's not true the mind carries information remember we talked about the usb
00:50:25.422 -->
00:50:30.400drive or the the massive amounts of digital information on a physical device
00:50:30.760 -->
00:50:35.602that normally the physical you know the physical examples of those things couldn't
00:50:35.602 -->
00:50:37.279fit on that type of device, right?
00:50:37.569 -->
00:50:40.872It's the same thing with the mind, the understanding, the inference,
00:50:40.872 -->
00:50:43.253the logic, the calculation, the cognition.
00:50:43.485 -->
00:50:47.412Those things don't just basically show up because there's chemical reactions
00:50:47.412 -->
00:50:53.982in your brain, right? Somebody says, well, show me the chemical analysis or
00:50:53.982 -->
00:50:57.645the reaction where the laws of logic exist. Can you show me that?
00:50:57.899 -->
00:51:00.919Where's that cell created? You can't.
00:51:01.592 -->
00:51:06.289And again, that's why the mind is separate and distinct from the brain, the physical matter.
00:51:06.589 -->
00:51:12.105It's mind over matter. And that's what the Bible shows us, that that transcendent
00:51:12.326 -->
00:51:16.029proof exists, that there is something beyond.
00:51:16.395 -->
00:51:19.768What is man, according to the Bible in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5,
00:51:20.214 -->
00:51:22.490man is made up of three parts. What are those three parts?
00:51:23.087 -->
00:51:29.391Body, soul, spirit. You know what the Bible presents and proposes,
00:51:29.820 -->
00:51:35.753the propositions found within the Word of God teach us that man is more than just a body.
00:51:36.643 -->
00:51:40.462Remember Luke chapter 16, you have the rich man, the Bible says,
00:51:40.462 -->
00:51:43.760when he died, he lit up his eyes in hell.
00:51:44.402 -->
00:51:48.910Wait a minute, he's in a grave. His body's in a grave, but his soul is in hell.
00:51:49.636 -->
00:51:51.998That means there's a separation between the physical and spiritual.
00:51:54.108 -->
00:51:58.560Remember when God created Adam and Eve? He formed them out of the dust of the ground, that's body.
00:51:59.224 -->
00:52:03.444Breathed into his life, that's spirit, and man became a living soul.
00:52:04.083 -->
00:52:08.792That's his being, who he is. We've argued this, we talked about this as far
00:52:08.792 -->
00:52:16.768as the tripartite nature of man is that man is a soul that possesses a body.
00:52:17.318 -->
00:52:21.196He's not a body that possesses a soul. He is the soul.
00:52:21.527 -->
00:52:25.762That's why we argue as Christians, if you don't get saved and you don't trust
00:52:25.762 -->
00:52:30.146Christ as your Savior, your soul will either go to heaven or hell.
00:52:30.541 -->
00:52:32.242If you reject Christ, you go to hell.
00:52:32.747 -->
00:52:37.106If you accept Christ, you go to heaven. but your body will go into the ground.
00:52:38.249 -->
00:52:42.929So that's why it's important for people to understand that the Bible presents
00:52:42.929 -->
00:52:48.015the argument that there is a mind, a digital mind, if you will,
00:52:48.849 -->
00:52:54.720a digital or spiritual mind, and it's separate from the physical organism of the brain.
00:52:55.353 -->
00:52:59.739So the Bible tells us, here's this divine source of complexity.
00:52:59.739 -->
00:53:03.199So we talked a little bit about this passage before, but the Bible says in John
00:53:03.199 -->
00:53:08.1191, 1-3, In the beginning was the Word, and this is what Christ was called before
00:53:08.119 -->
00:53:09.882the Son of God. He was the Word.
00:53:10.368 -->
00:53:14.647Word is the Logos, right? And the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
00:53:14.955 -->
00:53:18.518The same was in the beginning with God. So it says, in the beginning.
00:53:18.844 -->
00:53:22.199That means the beginning of time. Something transcended time.
00:53:22.496 -->
00:53:25.553The Word. He existed outside of time and space.
00:53:26.180 -->
00:53:30.882In the beginning was the Word. And the Word, it says, all things were made by Him.
00:53:31.359 -->
00:53:36.067And without him was not anything made that was made so jesus christ is the word
00:53:36.415 -->
00:53:40.009he's the creator of all things that means there's nothing created that was not
00:53:40.009 -->
00:53:44.954created by jesus christ that means if the devil was created the devil was created by jesus christ,
00:53:45.687 -->
00:53:50.799if the world the angels the universe the star clusters if they were created
00:53:50.799 -->
00:53:54.889they were created by jesus christ that means jesus christ is not the spirit
00:53:54.889 -->
00:53:56.989brother of of the devil like the mormons teach.
00:53:58.056 -->
00:54:02.950He's the creator of the devil, and the devil was not created as a sinful being.
00:54:03.430 -->
00:54:06.447He was an independent, volitional creature.
00:54:06.714 -->
00:54:12.840So, the Apostle John establishes the pre-existence, that means before time,
00:54:12.840 -->
00:54:19.073space, and matter, and deity of Jesus Christ as the Logos, the Word, or the reason of God,
00:54:19.532 -->
00:54:23.780through whom the entire material universe and all life are spoken in existence. The inference is this.
00:54:24.203 -->
00:54:29.020According to the laws of information science, specified complexity,
00:54:29.020 -->
00:54:36.710such as the coded chemical software of DNA, cannot spontaneously originate from matter itself.
00:54:36.710 -->
00:54:42.176And here's the simplest way to describe philosophical naturalism, which is evolution.
00:54:42.669 -->
00:54:44.422Matter created itself.
00:54:45.096 -->
00:54:50.710That's it. The evolutionary worldview is that matter created itself.
00:54:50.965 -->
00:54:53.444The universe produced itself.
00:54:54.041 -->
00:54:59.974Okay, that's the argument. That's the reduction. That's the reductio absurdum of evolution.
00:55:00.304 -->
00:55:02.580That matter created itself.
00:55:03.010 -->
00:55:06.017The biblical argument is that an intelligent...
00:55:06.845 -->
00:55:15.045Independent, personal, immaterial, all transcendent being, intelligent being created everything.
00:55:15.481 -->
00:55:20.599That's the two realities. It's either special creation or material created itself,
00:55:21.258 -->
00:55:23.754which violates the first law of thermodynamics.
00:55:24.039 -->
00:55:25.693Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
00:55:27.905 -->
00:55:32.921So the argument is the Bible identifies the ultimate mental source, right?
00:55:33.060 -->
00:55:38.435Information is a non-material entity that requires a mental source intelligent
00:55:38.435 -->
00:55:46.058design the bible identifies the ultimate mental source as god's eternal word jesus christ.
00:55:46.854 -->
00:55:51.485Okay so the conclusion in contrast kind of comparing to evolution evolution
00:55:51.485 -->
00:55:59.269contain claims that the 600 000 page chemical instruction manual of DNA, right?
00:55:59.391 -->
00:56:04.366Of human DNA rose by blind accidental chemistry.
00:56:04.969 -->
00:56:08.852It created itself as just a simple accident.
00:56:09.510 -->
00:56:14.845John 1.3 declares that no complex information-rich system exists apart from
00:56:14.845 -->
00:56:18.955the deliberate intellectual agency of the creator.
00:56:18.955 -->
00:56:26.345God personally stepped into the creation and he created it so material does
00:56:26.345 -->
00:56:32.137not matter doesn't create itself an immaterial mind creates matter that's what the bible argues.
00:56:32.868 -->
00:56:35.330Now, you may not agree with that. Whether you agree with that or not,
00:56:35.742 -->
00:56:37.129it's irrelevant. That's the
00:56:37.129 -->
00:56:39.591argument. We're just trying to tell you the difference between the two.
00:56:40.130 -->
00:56:46.021So the Bible, you know, again, the Bible argues that basically a divine source
00:56:46.433 -->
00:56:50.531is the one that created all specified complexity. Okay?
00:56:51.078 -->
00:56:56.099So number two, the fearful and wonderful architecture of life.
00:56:56.470 -->
00:56:59.326As we kind of continue with these series and we're going to talk about,
00:56:59.761 -->
00:57:01.569you know, the wonderful mechanics.
00:57:01.569 -->
00:57:05.559And I know you have some thoughts about this, Alan, but like the wonderful,
00:57:05.559 -->
00:57:07.509you know, the wonderful complexity of,
00:57:08.210 -->
00:57:13.073our respiratory system, our circulatory system, our nervous system,
00:57:13.463 -->
00:57:16.941you know, the biological, like the heart, the lungs, the brain.
00:57:17.353 -->
00:57:22.519I mean, I mean, there's things that there's no way that we can cover all of
00:57:22.519 -->
00:57:23.962those in one episode. We couldn't.
00:57:24.849 -->
00:57:29.540There was a series, a preaching series called The Fool Hath Said by a brother.
00:57:29.807 -->
00:57:30.869He's out in California. I can't
00:57:30.869 -->
00:57:35.879remember his name, but he had a series of like 10 or 15 or 20 sermons.
00:57:36.297 -->
00:57:41.318And what he did is he picked one particular aspect, like the human heart,
00:57:41.776 -->
00:57:45.089the human eye, the circulatory system, the blood.
00:57:45.589 -->
00:57:52.455And each one of those, he talked about mind-boggling engineering and chemistry
00:57:52.669 -->
00:57:56.159and biology that was involved in the mechanisms of this.
00:57:56.159 -->
00:57:58.459You used to talk about the eye. When people think about the eye,
00:57:58.459 -->
00:58:02.062like, well, it's just an eyeball. Right. But the...
00:58:03.032 -->
00:58:10.075The precision, mechanics, how quickly it can adjust. There's no lens,
00:58:10.812 -->
00:58:17.264no precise lens today that can match. I mean, we have lenses that can see almost light years away.
00:58:17.763 -->
00:58:23.212And it has, I mean, you're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars of
00:58:23.212 -->
00:58:25.129engineering development gone into those lenses.
00:58:25.529 -->
00:58:27.852And they can't compare to what the eye can do. They can't match to an eyeball.
00:58:28.752 -->
00:58:31.056In the minutiae of seconds.
00:58:32.092 -->
00:58:35.712Just our ability to focus as quickly as we can.
00:58:36.752 -->
00:58:41.162I you know but here's here's here's a thought think about this not only can
00:58:41.162 -->
00:58:43.403it mechanically do those things,
00:58:43.984 -->
00:58:49.302but it also sends cognitive information that we can recognize what we're seeing,
00:58:49.795 -->
00:58:53.402so there's a lot of processing yeah and there's so much processing going on
00:58:53.402 -->
00:58:54.596i can't remember what it was but,
00:58:55.269 -->
00:58:58.979It's just pretty amazing the way he was like, the amount of processing that's
00:58:58.979 -->
00:59:05.499going on every second in your human brain, the eye, and your senses, there's nothing.
00:59:05.839 -->
00:59:13.519There's no human or man-made machinery or technology that can hold a candle to it, not even close.
00:59:13.751 -->
00:59:18.326And really what we're referring to, it kind of goes back to Psalm 139, 14.
00:59:18.633 -->
00:59:20.750We mentioned this before in the previous episode.
00:59:21.063 -->
00:59:24.697David said, I will praise thee for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
00:59:25.075 -->
00:59:30.809Marvelous are thy works that my and that my soul knoweth right well so david
00:59:30.809 -->
00:59:32.360is obviously meditating,
00:59:32.836 -->
00:59:37.299on god's meticulous intimate supernatural formation of the human body in the
00:59:37.299 -->
00:59:40.237womb recognizing the incredible complexity.
00:59:40.820 -->
00:59:45.269Like david he didn't understand the things we can understand today at the molecular
00:59:45.629 -->
00:59:49.876now maybe he could i don't know maybe god gave him that revelation But I do know that,
00:59:50.369 -->
00:59:54.398all it takes is a human being to see a human life being born,
00:59:54.723 -->
00:59:58.397to see the development of a child through articulation of words,
00:59:58.606 -->
01:00:00.169through, you know, the combination.
01:00:00.169 -->
01:00:03.579And that's another thing we could even cover is just the vocal system.
01:00:03.998 -->
01:00:07.979The fact that human beings can speak, but animals don't. We have vocal cords
01:00:07.979 -->
01:00:09.281that animals don't have.
01:00:09.728 -->
01:00:15.379Animals can eat and grunt and make noises at the same time. And our larynx in
01:00:15.379 -->
01:00:20.319our system, our vocal cords are actually separate from the systems that process
01:00:20.319 -->
01:00:22.401our food because we could choke to death.
01:00:22.906 -->
01:00:27.492Why is there no evolutionary sign of progression of that in animals?
01:00:27.892 -->
01:00:30.979Animals have a completely different vocal system than we do.
01:00:31.857 -->
01:00:36.652They cannot articulate words like you and I can. But that's another complexity
01:00:36.652 -->
01:00:40.342that evolutionists can't explain. That's another one is the origination of language
01:00:40.342 -->
01:00:42.485and speech. Oh, yeah. That's a problem.
01:00:42.828 -->
01:00:49.022So Psalm 139, 14, David writes that I'm fearfully and wonderfully made.
01:00:49.022 -->
01:00:52.551So the inference, obviously, is that there's this incredible complexity.
01:00:52.748 -->
01:00:56.562I know you want to kind of side in on this, but the body consists of 100 trillion
01:00:56.562 -->
01:01:03.602cells, which contain a fully complete error-correcting genetic code, each one of those cells.
01:01:04.135 -->
01:01:08.292The body uses highly advanced systems such as white blood cells,
01:01:08.292 -->
01:01:13.981for example, that store chemical memory of diseases for up to 70 years,
01:01:14.463 -->
01:01:20.152that must function perfectly from the start to ensure survival.
01:01:20.152 -->
01:01:23.212So the cells, I know, Ellen, you were talking about this before,
01:01:23.212 -->
01:01:26.762just the single cell, but give an analogy, I guess maybe explain some of the
01:01:26.762 -->
01:01:27.802things that you understand.
01:01:28.388 -->
01:01:34.849Yeah, so you see that number, that one human body consists of 100 trillion cells.
01:01:34.994 -->
01:01:38.832And I was just thinking about that. I was like, how do I comprehend or how can
01:01:38.832 -->
01:01:41.272one comprehend that number?
01:01:41.592 -->
01:01:44.672One trillion is a lot, right? What is our national debt? Like two trillion?
01:01:45.172 -->
01:01:49.052Yeah, I think we hit three maybe. I can't remember. And that's a lot, right?
01:01:50.052 -->
01:01:52.882You can go and you can see. It basically means we'll be in debt for the rest
01:01:52.882 -->
01:01:55.652of our lives. Yeah, pretty much. I think that's, if it's broken down,
01:01:55.652 -->
01:02:01.152like everybody in the U.S., if you were to average it, that was $100,000 per person.
01:02:01.662 -->
01:02:05.282250 million people, yeah. Yeah, it's a lot, like 300 million people.
01:02:05.282 -->
01:02:07.712It's crazy. That's just two trillion. That's ridiculous, yeah.
01:02:07.712 -->
01:02:09.932That's just two trillion. And that's a huge number.
01:02:10.312 -->
01:02:12.748I don't even know how many zeros that is, but it's a lot of zeros.
01:02:13.282 -->
01:02:19.202But when you're talking about the human body consisting of 100 trillion cells,
01:02:19.202 -->
01:02:23.862I just started to think about what does one typical human cell consist of when
01:02:23.862 -->
01:02:26.252it comes to information, right?
01:02:26.252 -->
01:02:28.584Because we're talking about information theory.
01:02:28.915 -->
01:02:31.353How much information is just in one cell?
01:02:31.952 -->
01:02:34.988One cell in the human body. So think of it this way.
01:02:35.537 -->
01:02:40.483DNA in one typical human cell is like a large instruction library,
01:02:40.483 -->
01:02:44.523and you're alluding to that. It's compressed into one to two gigabytes if you
01:02:44.523 -->
01:02:46.741were to digitize that into data.
01:02:47.339 -->
01:02:53.803But that consists of text if you were to undigitize that into hundreds of thousands
01:02:53.803 -->
01:02:57.897of book pages, like you mentioned, 600,000 page chemical instruction manual.
01:02:58.465 -->
01:03:01.363So I was just really curious even further.
01:03:01.423 -->
01:03:06.606So there's like, well, what if I were to put, de-digitize all this stuff? This is just one cell.
01:03:07.329 -->
01:03:11.642If you were to put this in a book and you were to stack it, how tall would it be, right?
01:03:11.787 -->
01:03:15.694Just to try to get an idea to comprehend how much information there is.
01:03:15.817 -->
01:03:24.883So using the estimate, I think I said above, was about 6.2 billion.
01:03:25.657 -->
01:03:26.985Sorry, let me go back here.
01:03:28.052 -->
01:03:32.043So there's about 6.2 billion bits refers roughly to the DNA information the
01:03:32.043 -->
01:03:36.544two copies of the human genome found in most body cells,
01:03:37.146 -->
01:03:43.223that's about 775 megabytes if represented as ordinary binary data those actual biological,
01:03:43.823 -->
01:03:49.031information is more complex than a computer file obviously so now we move into
01:03:49.211 -->
01:03:52.689using the earlier estimate of 6.2 billion bits in a cell,
01:03:53.269 -->
01:03:59.469that equals to about 775 million bytes or if you were to,
01:04:00.093 -->
01:04:06.437change this into text that's 775 million text characters if each character uses one byte,
01:04:07.180 -->
01:04:12.866So that's about 3,000 characters per book page that would fill approximately
01:04:12.866 -->
01:04:16.476260,000 pages. Now, if each— So I'm going to stop for a second.
01:04:16.476 -->
01:04:18.511You just had 260,000 pages.
01:04:18.905 -->
01:04:22.249We were talking about reading a 1,000-page book is over your head.
01:04:22.650 -->
01:04:28.100Think about reading a book that was 260,000 pages.
01:04:29.056 -->
01:04:33.146And that's equivalent to what? How many cells? One. One cell.
01:04:33.146 -->
01:04:36.934That is just one cell when there's—remember, let's go back.
01:04:37.352 -->
01:04:42.886A hundred trillion cells in the human body. So we're just going to one.
01:04:42.886 -->
01:04:45.902There's one cell. 260,000 pages.
01:04:46.483 -->
01:04:49.256Now, if we were to break this down even further, because I was curious,
01:04:49.916 -->
01:04:53.807if each page is about, you know, 0.1 millimeter thick,
01:04:54.336 -->
01:04:59.486the stack would be around 26 meters tall, which is, if you're standing outside,
01:04:59.486 -->
01:05:02.816imagine looking up at an eight-story building.
01:05:03.156 -->
01:05:07.194Right. That is what... That's how thick the book would be. That's how thick that book would be.
01:05:07.356 -->
01:05:10.876One book, one cell. One cell worth of information.
01:05:10.876 -->
01:05:14.716Now, if you printed the DNA sequence itself as individual A,
01:05:15.156 -->
01:05:18.815C, G, and T letters rather than converting it into binary information,
01:05:19.228 -->
01:05:24.316that stack would be just a little bit taller, roughly around 200,
01:05:25.340 -->
01:05:26.826kilometers. Yep.
01:05:27.336 -->
01:05:29.845That's nearly 200 miles.
01:05:30.884 -->
01:05:37.728So again, going back, one cell. One cell in the human body. Now, this is very precise.
01:05:38.436 -->
01:05:45.385It has to be very precise information. We've already talked about the degeneration mutations cause.
01:05:45.844 -->
01:05:49.124They're not beneficial to the human genome.
01:05:49.658 -->
01:05:54.000But we're talking about this preciseness and these instructions. You can't duplicate it.
01:05:54.627 -->
01:05:58.401Because you're not increasing information. You may be causing static and noise
01:05:58.686 -->
01:06:00.659and degradation in the instructions.
01:06:00.973 -->
01:06:02.691You can be messing up the instructions.
01:06:03.045 -->
01:06:09.647That is how precise the cell needs to be. It needs to operate precisely like an engineered system.
01:06:10.587 -->
01:06:14.807In a sequential way, in a very precise way, it has to operate.
01:06:14.807 -->
01:06:16.727It's just unbelievable.
01:06:17.467 -->
01:06:20.387You're talking about just from the data point of view. This is just data.
01:06:20.387 -->
01:06:24.117This is just information. If we were to de-digitize this and put this in books
01:06:24.117 -->
01:06:29.147that we could hold in our hands, one cell, that's, when I just gave you here,
01:06:29.147 -->
01:06:31.487200 kilometers, we're already in outer space. Right.
01:06:32.708 -->
01:06:38.297Just one cell. And this is all information. And now you then multiply that to 100 trillion.
01:06:38.297 -->
01:06:42.997I cannot fathom. Yeah, it's unfathomable. So what I've heard and the analogy
01:06:42.997 -->
01:06:48.606I've heard explained is that one cell is equivalent to an entire city like New York City,
01:06:49.089 -->
01:06:53.737that has a communication system, it has a plumbing system, it has an electrical
01:06:53.737 -->
01:06:56.084system, it has highway systems.
01:06:57.387 -->
01:07:00.847It has energy systems, utility systems, right?
01:07:00.847 -->
01:07:06.219All these systems that are built into the entire city of New York City.
01:07:06.724 -->
01:07:11.397That is equivalent to one cell. That's what's going on inside.
01:07:11.397 -->
01:07:15.496And none of this was understood until the beginning of the century.
01:07:15.856 -->
01:07:20.237And we're talking about the early 1900s, and especially the 1950s,
01:07:20.237 -->
01:07:25.5551960s and stuff, when Crick and them discovered the heliac strand of the DNA code.
01:07:26.351 -->
01:07:30.083That's when they realize, oh, it's not such a simple cell.
01:07:30.698 -->
01:07:36.291Everything that was understood with Darwinian theology, and especially neo-Darwinian
01:07:36.291 -->
01:07:41.866theology, it was all based off the assumption that the cell was simple.
01:07:42.549 -->
01:07:46.553And this is actually some of the stuff that Stephen Myers talks about,
01:07:46.826 -->
01:07:54.640this complexity, this extremely complex informational system that exists just within the single cell.
01:07:55.092 -->
01:07:59.041And you're talking about your body here's the here's the crazy part that it
01:07:59.041 -->
01:08:03.918contains over 100 trillion cells in your body that your your body re,
01:08:05.131 -->
01:08:10.071it recreates that entire cellular system at least once or twice a month i can't
01:08:10.071 -->
01:08:14.448remember what the frequency is but it will rebuild your entire cellular structure
01:08:14.796 -->
01:08:19.172you know so many weeks months i can't remember what the time frame is but it does it,
01:08:19.971 -->
01:08:22.144multiple times through your lifetime.
01:08:22.684 -->
01:08:25.632It completely builds your entire cellular system.
01:08:27.060 -->
01:08:30.894Mind-boggling. Okay, so— With a vast amount of information. With that in mind,
01:08:31.005 -->
01:08:36.258okay, with that in mind, when we contrast it to evolution, here's the evolutionary assumption.
01:08:36.627 -->
01:08:40.450They demand—and this is what they demand, this is what they argue—that a human
01:08:40.450 -->
01:08:47.141body is a jerry-built patchwork of accumulated copying mistakes, which are mutations.
01:08:47.814 -->
01:08:51.442Psalm 139.14 and biological physics show,
01:08:51.971 -->
01:08:59.349that we are a highly optimized, irreducibly complex masterpiece of divine engineering
01:08:59.639 -->
01:09:04.980that could never survive a slow, piecemeal, error-driven,
01:09:05.381 -->
01:09:09.432copying-mistake-driven assembly. It is impossible.
01:09:09.699 -->
01:09:18.825It is unfathomable. And again, information theory, and this is why it has literally become the linchpin.
01:09:19.109 -->
01:09:22.453This is the linchpin that's being pulled out of the evolutionary framework.
01:09:22.720 -->
01:09:27.310This is destroying evolutionary. That's why they're having massive conferences
01:09:27.310 -->
01:09:28.165trying to come up like...
01:09:28.962 -->
01:09:32.467Darwinian evolution is failing us because of that information theory.
01:09:32.623 -->
01:09:38.334We've got to come up with a way to redefine evolution because it does not survive
01:09:38.601 -->
01:09:42.380when it's analyzed against information theory. It just isn't.
01:09:42.920 -->
01:09:47.489And here's the thing. Information theory can only be rightly explained biblically.
01:09:48.180 -->
01:09:50.381Isn't that something? Isn't that something?
01:09:51.127 -->
01:09:57.422But yeah, it's just absolutely mind-blowing when it comes to the information
01:09:57.422 -->
01:10:00.222when you – it just really is.
01:10:00.222 -->
01:10:06.462Now, I did some quick searches here, so maybe some of the numbers and values could be slightly up.
01:10:06.462 -->
01:10:11.402But still, even if it was, the massive amount of information that our bodies
01:10:11.402 -->
01:10:18.542carry in the cell is just unbelievable. So we know that the body is fearfully
01:10:18.542 -->
01:10:21.066and wonderfully made and engineered, right?
01:10:21.356 -->
01:10:25.192We know that from the first argument we brought is the divine source of that
01:10:25.192 -->
01:10:28.183specified complexity is God. That's the only thing that explains it.
01:10:29.069 -->
01:10:32.795The third thing is that, and we've talked about this in natural selection,
01:10:33.189 -->
01:10:36.765but the sovereignty of the fixity of created boundaries. Remember,
01:10:37.073 -->
01:10:38.691we talked about the kind, right?
01:10:39.400 -->
01:10:43.505But there's also the boundaries within the genome.
01:10:43.929 -->
01:10:47.882For example, the Bible says in Jeremiah 13, 23, can the Ethiopian change his
01:10:47.882 -->
01:10:51.068skin or the leopard change his spots?
01:10:51.394 -->
01:10:55.392Then may ye also do good that are accustomed to do evil. Here's the context.
01:10:55.392 -->
01:11:00.955God uses a universally understood biological truth to illustrate a spiritual reality.
01:11:02.282 -->
01:11:09.198That humanity cannot cure its own fallen sinful nature apart from a supernatural miracle.
01:11:09.465 -->
01:11:14.672That the body cannot, a man, like the Bible says, you can't even count the hairs on your head.
01:11:15.549 -->
01:11:19.049But God knows every single one of them. The Bible says that we don't even know
01:11:19.049 -->
01:11:22.889the names of all the stars, and yet God telleth them, telleth meaning like a
01:11:22.889 -->
01:11:25.074teller at a bank, counts them.
01:11:25.550 -->
01:11:28.249He can count every single star. You talk about the complexity,
01:11:28.249 -->
01:11:31.086and that's just the physics, the physical reality, right?
01:11:31.644 -->
01:11:35.266But you're talking about just the body itself and its complexity.
01:11:35.411 -->
01:11:38.487You can't change your spots. You can't change the pigment of your skin.
01:11:38.853 -->
01:11:42.894You can try to go get sunburned and stuff, but again, that's going to damage your body, right?
01:11:43.363 -->
01:11:49.918The point is, is that God presupposes that people, his people know that physical
01:11:50.028 -->
01:11:54.684designated traits are fixed and bounded. They can't change.
01:11:54.933 -->
01:11:59.119A leopard cannot dynamically change its spots, nor can a dark-skinned person
01:11:59.361 -->
01:12:02.102instantly adjust their melanin levels, right?
01:12:02.653 -->
01:12:07.657So even if, and that's even if environmental stresses make such changes necessary
01:12:07.873 -->
01:12:10.658for survival. So here's what evolution proposes.
01:12:11.129 -->
01:12:16.669The proponents of evolutionary gradualism and continuous tracking argue that
01:12:16.669 -->
01:12:18.484organisms can dynamically
01:12:18.896 -->
01:12:22.448reshape themselves from the inside out to fit any environment,
01:12:22.838 -->
01:12:28.043eventually crossing taxonomic boundaries, for example, reptiles becoming birds.
01:12:28.929 -->
01:12:32.589And we talked about the kinds, right, that every kind has to be able to duplicate itself.
01:12:32.891 -->
01:12:37.349So, Jeremiah 13, 23 affirms that God has established strict,
01:12:37.785 -->
01:12:41.918unpassable biological limits within the created kinds.
01:12:42.335 -->
01:12:45.889And then the fourth argument, and this is upholding, you know,
01:12:46.329 -->
01:12:49.769of logic and scientific consistency, the Bible says in Colossians 1,
01:12:49.769 -->
01:12:54.77617 about Jesus Christ, verse 16, is that he consists before all things,
01:12:54.949 -->
01:12:55.924but he created all things.
01:12:56.174 -->
01:13:01.214And verse 17, he is before all things, and by him, Jesus Christ, all things consist.
01:13:01.642 -->
01:13:05.161Paul describes Christ's absolute supremacy over the physical creation, right?
01:13:05.961 -->
01:13:11.031He explains that Jesus Christ, he is both the creator of the universe and he's
01:13:11.031 -->
01:13:15.325also the active sustainer who keeps it in an operational order.
01:13:15.567 -->
01:13:23.044So we expect science to work the way it always works with the laws of chemistry, physics, logic.
01:13:23.289 -->
01:13:26.329They all must be uniform and consistent throughout the universe.
01:13:26.961 -->
01:13:31.675This consistency is not the product of a random accidental explosion like the Big Bang.
01:13:32.691 -->
01:13:38.879But it's the direct result of christ actively upholding his creation personally imminently so,
01:13:39.701 -->
01:13:43.131the contrast to evolution is that evolutionists they believe if the universe
01:13:43.131 -->
01:13:48.401were an accident of time and chance then our minds were merely the product of
01:13:48.401 -->
01:13:52.731accidental mutations that's what they argued there would be no rational reason
01:13:52.731 -->
01:13:54.622to expect the laws of nature to be consistent,
01:13:55.342 -->
01:13:59.777nor could we trust our own senses to perform the science in the first place.
01:14:00.386 -->
01:14:05.692Colossians 1.17 provides that the only rational foundation for scientific consistency,
01:14:06.278 -->
01:14:10.051proving that we can trust our minds and observations is because rational God
01:14:10.051 -->
01:14:12.025designed them. And this is important to understand.
01:14:12.702 -->
01:14:19.431This means that when a scientist or an evolutionist claims, I can prove reality
01:14:19.431 -->
01:14:21.966through scientific experiments, right?
01:14:22.245 -->
01:14:25.605You can't prove God in a laboratory. You're absolutely right. I can't.
01:14:26.104 -->
01:14:32.461But if you prove that you can repeat a specific, precise observation or experiment
01:14:32.841 -->
01:14:37.163over and over again, and you expect the laws of physics, the laws of logic,
01:14:37.325 -->
01:14:41.851the laws of mathematics to repeat themselves and be consistent time after time
01:14:41.851 -->
01:14:45.161after time, you're actually proving the biblical worldview.
01:14:45.911 -->
01:14:50.441Because only the biblical worldview tells you that all things begin and all
01:14:50.441 -->
01:14:54.385things are consistent because of Colossians 1.17, because of Jesus Christ.
01:14:56.278 -->
01:15:00.319The naturalistic worldview cannot explain or justify or validate these things.
01:15:01.149 -->
01:15:05.728So that's why when we're talking about the Bible, the Bible obviously has a stark contrast.
01:15:06.117 -->
01:15:09.589And this is what brings us to the conclusion that evolution is not a science.
01:15:10.192 -->
01:15:16.403It is a naturalistic philosophy. Again, the series is science falsely so-called.
01:15:17.070 -->
01:15:21.338So when evaluated, obviously, rigorously, I mean, we're talking about this information
01:15:21.338 -->
01:15:23.889theory just blows Darwinian evolution out the water.
01:15:24.401 -->
01:15:30.612Darwinian evolution is not an observational science it is a rigid philosophical dogma
01:15:30.978 -->
01:15:38.257grounded in methodological naturalism period true science again relies on observation
01:15:38.589 -->
01:15:43.754record-keeping and controlled repeatable analysis of the empirical world,
01:15:44.408 -->
01:15:50.254that's what we expect to see if god is hold upholding all things by the power of his word.
01:15:51.045 -->
01:15:54.993If God is upholding all things by the power of his existence,
01:15:55.499 -->
01:15:59.092then we expect gravity to always work like gravity should.
01:15:59.614 -->
01:16:04.607We always expect certain observable science and repeatable scientific experience
01:16:04.804 -->
01:16:06.295to operate exactly the same way.
01:16:06.545 -->
01:16:11.685If we expect a chemical reaction between these two chemical organisms or biological
01:16:11.685 -->
01:16:17.552organisms, if we expect certain reactions because of disease and mutation, we'll see it every time.
01:16:18.229 -->
01:16:23.575No human has ever observed the spontaneous generation of non-life from non-life
01:16:23.575 -->
01:16:27.174right you don't see a rock turn into a living complex creature,
01:16:27.791 -->
01:16:32.962nor has anyone ever documented a single genetic mutation that adds creative
01:16:33.130 -->
01:16:35.128brand new information to a genome,
01:16:35.743 -->
01:16:40.005we've already talked about that mutations do not operate that way on the contrary
01:16:40.005 -->
01:16:45.141every repeatable observation in molecular biology, confirms that mutations act
01:16:45.455 -->
01:16:49.285as an informational, static, degrading.
01:16:49.985 -->
01:16:53.582The genetic software of the created kinds. That's how mutations operate.
01:16:53.999 -->
01:16:58.852It is not improving the organism. It is destroying our organism.
01:16:59.430 -->
01:17:03.645Okay. Evolutionists reject these scientific realities, not because they lack
01:17:03.645 -->
01:17:08.608evidence of a creator, but because of a profound philosophical bias. It's a presupposition.
01:17:09.095 -->
01:17:12.567They're assuming there's no God. They have to assume it.
01:17:12.909 -->
01:17:18.049So if you were to say, look, can you even, you know, add at least the possibility
01:17:18.263 -->
01:17:22.055that a supernatural creator and divine mind created the complexity of life,
01:17:22.055 -->
01:17:25.607information, and things like that? They go, absolutely not. We cannot.
01:17:26.224 -->
01:17:29.645It's not that they, it's not that there's a possibility that it's true.
01:17:29.985 -->
01:17:34.235It's that it cannot be true in our particular worldview.
01:17:34.751 -->
01:17:36.887We can't account for supernatural. Supernatural.
01:17:37.704 -->
01:17:42.884So it's a philosophical bias. Methodological naturalism is a religious presupposition.
01:17:43.157 -->
01:17:46.621I'll say that again. It is a religious presupposition.
01:17:46.935 -->
01:17:50.274Evolution is a religion. It is not a science.
01:17:50.866 -->
01:17:55.904It arbitrarily dictates that all scientific explanations must pretend God does
01:17:55.904 -->
01:18:00.949not exist, thereby excluding all the possibility of creation before the evidence is even examined.
01:18:01.884 -->
01:18:05.384And again, they're looking at the same evidence we are. we're coming to a vastly
01:18:05.384 -->
01:18:09.966different conclusion because we go we infer that oh a mind,
01:18:10.547 -->
01:18:18.064writes instructions oh an engineer designs things oh there's order when somebody
01:18:18.064 -->
01:18:22.154is creating the order and dictating and manipulating the order,
01:18:22.729 -->
01:18:25.554that's what an inference that's what our inference is when we think with our
01:18:25.554 -->
01:18:29.956minds and evolutionist goes it can't be a mind because if that mind,
01:18:31.224 -->
01:18:31.944Right.
01:18:49.992 -->
01:18:53.592If I have a creator, then that means the judge exists. It means you're accountable.
01:18:53.592 -->
01:18:56.175And guess what? That means there's moral absolutes. That's right.
01:18:56.484 -->
01:18:58.551And if there's moral absolutes, then I'm guilty.
01:18:59.131 -->
01:19:01.422And that's what people don't want to deal with. That's why the Bible is very
01:19:01.422 -->
01:19:04.159clear when it says, a fool said in his heart there's no God.
01:19:04.582 -->
01:19:08.732And so, and again, if you look at the word fool, you study throughout the Bible,
01:19:09.034 -->
01:19:12.098the fool rejects divine revelation.
01:19:14.019 -->
01:19:22.532The fool rejects knowledge. the fool rejects information that god has provided them and so again.
01:19:23.389 -->
01:19:29.485The presupposition exists because they're they're approaching the evidence with a predisposed bias,
01:19:30.099 -->
01:19:34.778they they have again all scientific explanations they have to eliminate god
01:19:35.080 -->
01:19:39.652so they exclude it before even looking at evidence there cannot be a god so
01:19:39.652 -->
01:19:45.395by substituting the active creative you know sovereign you know So God,
01:19:45.848 -->
01:19:50.252with time, chance, and copying errors, right, the secular mind has constructed
01:19:50.252 -->
01:19:52.408this irrational, unscientific worldview.
01:19:52.865 -->
01:19:57.302Ultimately, as the scriptures declare, the Bible says that these people in Romans
01:19:57.302 -->
01:20:00.8471.22 professing themselves to be wise, they become fools.
01:20:01.596 -->
01:20:05.992So the Christian can stand with complete intellectual confidence,
01:20:06.485 -->
01:20:10.042knowing that all observable science, the laws of information theory,
01:20:10.657 -->
01:20:14.343and scripture perfectly harmonize and declare the glory of God.
01:20:14.686 -->
01:20:18.976Here's what we say. We say we have a consistent worldview because we're saying
01:20:18.976 -->
01:20:22.778that life can beget life, the laws of biogenesis.
01:20:23.080 -->
01:20:26.679We say that a mind can create intelligence.
01:20:26.911 -->
01:20:31.555Intelligence creates instructions and order. And that's exactly what we see.
01:20:31.787 -->
01:20:37.569When an evolutionist tries to point to things that like mutational degradation,
01:20:37.732 -->
01:20:40.123they go, aha, there's your perfect creator.
01:20:40.315 -->
01:20:43.943He can't create a perfect world. No, dummy.
01:20:44.518 -->
01:20:48.056And I'm saying that politely with grace. No, idiot.
01:20:49.176 -->
01:20:53.661No, stupido. No, because the world is in a fallen state.
01:20:54.125 -->
01:20:58.310Genetic entropy is real because man has rebelled against God.
01:20:58.827 -->
01:21:01.700And because man has rebelled against God, you know what we'd expect to see?
01:21:01.968 -->
01:21:06.499We expect to see mutational degradation. We expect to see genetic entropy.
01:21:07.040 -->
01:21:12.212We expect to see mutational copying errors and mistakes because we live in a fallen world.
01:21:12.607 -->
01:21:18.426The Bible tells us in the book of Isaiah that there's coming a time where the
01:21:18.426 -->
01:21:22.702venomous snake and the wolf and the lion will be able, the cockatrice den,
01:21:22.905 -->
01:21:26.963these venomous animals will be playing with children in the millennium.
01:21:27.666 -->
01:21:28.237That means.
01:21:30.286 -->
01:21:34.966The created order that fell out of order and went into chaos in Genesis at the
01:21:34.966 -->
01:21:40.578fall of the Garden of Eden will then be restored when Jesus Christ comes back.
01:21:40.770 -->
01:21:46.058That's why the Bible says in the book of Romans, it says all creation groaneth,
01:21:46.649 -->
01:21:51.619because it's waiting for the redemption of all natural order.
01:21:52.182 -->
01:21:57.129That means that the fallen animals, that means the predators,
01:21:57.378 -->
01:22:03.241that means the destructive earthquakes and the natural disasters that take millions of lives,
01:22:03.583 -->
01:22:07.736you know, over the course of human history, those things will be set right when
01:22:07.736 -->
01:22:09.388the Creator steps back on this earth.
01:22:09.742 -->
01:22:14.844But the reason why they're not right right now is because there's Satan, the devil.
01:22:15.806 -->
01:22:19.576He's the great red dragon who the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 4,
01:22:19.576 -->
01:22:21.863verse 4, is the god of this world.
01:22:22.661 -->
01:22:27.307And all the kingdoms of the earth belong to the devil because they were given to him.
01:22:27.957 -->
01:22:30.831And he has the ability to give them to whoever he wants.
01:22:31.307 -->
01:22:38.076Jesus Christ is God Almighty, but there is a temporary pause when it comes to this earth.
01:22:38.278 -->
01:22:40.746So yes, you are going to see disease.
01:22:41.117 -->
01:22:45.641Yes, you are going to see natural disasters. Yes, you are going to see hurt
01:22:45.641 -->
01:22:47.276and pain and broken hearts.
01:22:47.479 -->
01:22:50.115Those things exist because we live in a fallen world.
01:22:50.730 -->
01:22:57.081But all of that presupposes a perfect god and a bible that says all things fell
01:22:57.081 -->
01:23:00.951apart in genesis but eventually they're going to come back together in revelation
01:23:00.951 -->
01:23:03.622so mutations do not prove evolution,
01:23:04.328 -->
01:23:09.156on the contrary they prove that evolution is impossible so natural selection,
01:23:09.703 -->
01:23:17.053cannot account for evolutionary gain and in production and development and complexity and mutations can't,
01:23:17.703 -->
01:23:19.711provide for, you know, evolutionary gain,
01:23:20.221 -->
01:23:21.993production, you know, reduction and complexity.
01:23:22.388 -->
01:23:27.741Those two, the two pillars of evolution fail drastically whenever you try to
01:23:27.741 -->
01:23:31.345use them to, you know, prop up evolution. So...
01:23:32.114 -->
01:23:37.934Yeah, so hopefully this helps provide some light on both of those two pillars.
01:23:38.474 -->
01:23:43.054I think it's key for a Christian, oh, hopefully this will arm and edify and
01:23:43.054 -->
01:23:47.184provide confidence in being able for a Christian to stand up and to talk to
01:23:47.184 -->
01:23:51.534somebody about it who's of a scientific mind or maybe believes in evolution.
01:23:51.534 -->
01:23:55.274It's like, hey, either of these don't prove any new information.
01:23:55.274 -->
01:24:00.614Therefore, you cannot have anything evolving when things are getting worse or devolving. Right.
01:24:00.654 -->
01:24:05.697This is a real case for both of these when it comes to natural selection and
01:24:06.115 -->
01:24:10.551genetic mutation. At the end of the day, for both of them, there's no new information. No.
01:24:10.922 -->
01:24:14.508And genetic mutation is negative in nature. It's devolving.
01:24:14.884 -->
01:24:20.730And then when we talked about natural selection, it's a calling mechanism for selection.
01:24:21.372 -->
01:24:26.964But anyways, again, another one here that we've covered that has a lot of good
01:24:26.964 -->
01:24:28.103information. Check out...
01:24:28.955 -->
01:24:32.085Check out Stephen Meyers. Stephen Meyers got a lot of good stuff.
01:24:32.085 -->
01:24:35.875Again, just look at YouTube and maybe some of the presentations or interviews
01:24:35.875 -->
01:24:40.615that he's done. Also, the book, Genetic Entropy, is a really good book by,
01:24:40.975 -->
01:24:42.342I can't remember. John Sanford.
01:24:42.661 -->
01:24:45.935That's right, John Sanford. So, Genetic Entropy is a really good book.
01:24:45.935 -->
01:24:50.173And again, creation.com. If you want articles, galore.
01:24:50.346 -->
01:24:55.815I mean, Institute for Creation Research, ICR.org is another great one.
01:24:55.875 -->
01:25:00.415When creation.com just happens, I think they have the most PhD doctors that
01:25:00.415 -->
01:25:04.375work in their ministry, but they also have like 15,000 articles that they've
01:25:04.375 -->
01:25:08.985written, and they obviously cover mutations, natural selection,
01:25:08.985 -->
01:25:10.498all this stuff that we're talking about.
01:25:10.771 -->
01:25:16.018So a lot of good resources handy for anybody who's interested in learning just a little bit more.
01:25:16.344 -->
01:25:19.606Again, you don't need to have a PhD. You don't have to be a scientist.
01:25:19.995 -->
01:25:23.426That's not even necessary. Everything you have is in your hands.
01:25:23.710 -->
01:25:27.199We have the Word of God. That's a scientific book. It explains everything.
01:25:27.692 -->
01:25:34.026But learn a little bit more. Just get familiar with some of the terminology, what this really means.
01:25:34.449 -->
01:25:39.045It's going to help arm you to be able to defend the faith. Yep,
01:25:39.045 -->
01:25:42.915absolutely. All right, so this is two in our series. We're going to be doing
01:25:42.915 -->
01:25:45.925another one, I think, next week, probably continuing on.
01:25:45.955 -->
01:25:51.409We might take a break. Yeah, we'll do maybe one or two more science falsely so-called.
01:25:51.659 -->
01:25:56.025But we want to continue this as an ongoing series. so it may not be chronologically
01:25:56.025 -->
01:25:58.475you know we may slip in a different.
01:25:58.975 -->
01:26:02.375Episode or something another topic we'll cover but we want to keep it going
01:26:02.375 -->
01:26:07.325so we'll have a series that way it's easy to search you know on our database
01:26:07.325 -->
01:26:10.804and stuff or follow up say hey I want to cover all your guys' science stuff
01:26:10.983 -->
01:26:12.155then look up science falsies
01:26:12.555 -->
01:26:17.351so-called series we'll create a playlist in YouTube for all our series like we usually do so,
01:26:17.833 -->
01:26:21.205stay tuned more to come we're just scratched at the surface I know it's a lot
01:26:21.205 -->
01:26:23.088of information but hopefully it's,
01:26:23.633 -->
01:26:29.225again it's it's been hopefully clarifying and helpful absolutely so it's been
01:26:29.225 -->
01:26:31.929fun yeah it's definitely fun all right till next time.
