- SCIENCE. IS IT A BIT OF MAGIC?
- 00:00:02.692 --> 00:00:03.593
- IS IT A BIT OF MAGIC? A RELENTLESS PURSUIT?
- 00:00:03.660 --> 00:00:05.261
- A RELENTLESS PURSUIT? A MYTH?
- 00:00:05.328 --> 00:00:07.564
- A MYTH? OR AN IRREFUTABLE TRUTH?
- 00:00:07.630 --> 00:00:09.899
- OR AN IRREFUTABLE TRUTH? THE BIG BANG THEORY, THE THEORY
- 00:00:09.966 --> 00:00:11.367
- THE BIG BANG THEORY, THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION -- THESE ARE
- 00:00:11.434 --> 00:00:12.202
- OF EVOLUTION -- THESE ARE HAILED AS THE GREATEST
- 00:00:12.268 --> 00:00:14.137
- HAILED AS THE GREATEST SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES.
- 00:00:14.204 --> 00:00:14.804
- SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES. BUT ARE THEY TRUE?
- 00:00:14.871 --> 00:00:17.674
- WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE DATA
- 00:00:18.208 --> 00:00:19.275
- WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE DATA DOESN'T MATCH, WHEN THE DATING
- 00:00:19.342 --> 00:00:20.677
- DOESN'T MATCH, WHEN THE DATING ISN'T ACCURATE, AND, WHEN THE
- 00:00:20.743 --> 00:00:23.480
- ISN'T ACCURATE, AND, WHEN THE SCIENCE CONTRADICTS ITSELF?
- 00:00:23.546 --> 00:00:26.049
- SCIENCE CONTRADICTS ITSELF? WHAT HAPPENS TO "SCIENTIFIC
- 00:00:26.116 --> 00:00:27.817
- WHAT HAPPENS TO "SCIENTIFIC PROOF" WHEN THE EVIDENCE DEFIES
- 00:00:27.884 --> 00:00:29.219
- PROOF" WHEN THE EVIDENCE DEFIES THE VERY THEORY THAT IT'S MEANT
- 00:00:29.285 --> 00:00:30.553

- THREE MEN WHO DEDICATED THEIR LIVES TO SCIENTIFIC STUDY ASKED
- 00:00:33.957 --> 00:00:35.325
- LIVES TO SCIENTIFIC STUDY ASKED THEMSELVES THOSE QUESTIONS,
- 00:00:35.391 --> 00:00:36.392
- THEMSELVES THOSE QUESTIONS, AND, IN THEIR SEARCH FOR
- 00:00:36.459 --> 00:00:37.927
- AND, IN THEIR SEARCH FOR ANSWERS, THEY DISCOVERED THAT
- 00:00:37.994 --> 00:00:38.728
- ANSWERS, THEY DISCOVERED THAT SCIENCE ISN'T ALWAYS AS IT
- 00:00:38.795 --> 00:00:40.663
- SCIENCE ISN'T ALWAYS AS IT SEEMS.
- 00:00:40.730 --> 00:00:42.765

- KIND OF STRAYED AWAY FROM MY FAITH A LITTLE BIT -- I HAD
- 00:01:14.964 --> 00:01:16.099

- TIME -- BUT CAME BACK, WHEN I WAS ABOUT 17.
- 00:01:18.568 --> 00:01:21.304
- WAS ABOUT 17. I WENT TO SEMINARY TO STUDY
- 00:01:21.371 --> 00:01:22.839
- I WENT TO SEMINARY TO STUDY APOLOGETICS.
- 00:01:22.906 --> 00:01:24.974
- APOLOGETICS. I REMEMBER GOING TO SEMINARY
- 00:01:25.041 --> 00:01:25.909
- I REMEMBER GOING TO SEMINARY CLASS AND THEY WERE TEACHING
- 00:01:25.975 --> 00:01:26.910
- CLASS AND THEY WERE TEACHING ABOUT THE OLD TESTAMENT.
- 00:01:26.976 --> 00:01:28.378
- AND THEN, THE PROFESSOR SAID,
- 00:01:29.012 --> 00:01:29.946
- AND THEN, THE PROFESSOR SAID, "WELL, WHEN IT COMES TO THE
- 00:01:30.013 --> 00:01:30.780
- "WELL, WHEN IT COMES TO THE GENESIS TEXT, WHOEVER WROTE IT

- WAS CLEARLY CONVEYING THAT THE SIX DAYS WERE REAL, ORDINARY
- 00:01:34.150 --> 00:01:35.885
- SIX DAYS WERE REAL, ORDINARY DAYS AND THAT THE GENESIS
- 00:01:35.952 --> 00:01:37.587
- DAYS AND THAT THE GENESIS GENEALOGIES LEAD BACK TO ADAM,
- 00:01:37.654 --> 00:01:40.123
- GENEALOGIES LEAD BACK TO ADAM, JUST THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO,
- 00:01:40.190 --> 00:01:41.291
- JUST THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO, NOT MILLIONS."
- 00:01:41.357 --> 00:01:42.725
- BUT THEN, HE SAID, IN THE SAME
- 00:01:43.326 --> 00:01:43.893
- BUT THEN, HE SAID, IN THE SAME BREATH, "BUT IF YOU BELIEVE IN
- 00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:44.794
- BREATH, "BUT IF YOU BELIEVE IN SCIENCE, EARTH IS MILLIONS AND
- 00:01:44.861 --> 00:01:46.462
- SCIENCE, EARTH IS MILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF YEARS OLD, SO YOU
- 00:01:46.529 --> 00:01:47.797
- BILLIONS OF YEARS OLD, SO YOU GUYS GO FIGURE THIS OUT."
- 00:01:47.864 --> 00:01:49.599
- GUYS GO FIGURE THIS OUT." THAT REALLY STARTED SOME
- 00:01:49.666 --> 00:01:52.001
- THAT REALLY STARTED SOME FRICTION IN MY MIND: HOW COULD
- 00:01:52.068 --> 00:01:53.937
- FRICTION IN MY MIND: HOW COULD THAT BE TRUE AND THIS BE TRUE
- 00:01:54.003 --> 00:01:55.138
- THAT BE TRUE AND THIS BE TRUE AT THE SAME TIME?
- 00:01:55.205 --> 00:01:58.107
- AT THE SAME TIME? - DR. JOBE MARTIN: I WAS
- 00:01:58.174 --> 00:01:58.675
- - DR. JOBE MARTIN: I WAS RAISED IN THE CHURCH, BUT ALL I
- 00:01:58.741 --> 00:01:59.876
- RAISED IN THE CHURCH, BUT ALL I EVER HEARD WAS: DON'T SMOKE,
- 00:01:59.943 --> 00:02:00.944
- EVER HEARD WAS: DON'T SMOKE, DON'T DRINK, DON'T GO TO
- 00:02:01.010 --> 00:02:02.445
- DON'T DRINK, DON'T GO TO MOVIES, DON'T PLAY CARDS, DON'T
- 00:02:02.512 --> 00:02:03.913
- MOVIES, DON'T PLAY CARDS, DON'T DATE GIRLS THAT CHEW TOBACCO.
- 00:02:03.980 --> 00:02:06.849
- DATE GIRLS THAT CHEW TOBACCO. AND SO, I DIDN'T WANT ANY
- 00:02:06.916 --> 00:02:07.750
- AND SO, I DIDN'T WANT ANY PART OF THAT.
- 00:02:07.817 --> 00:02:08.318
- PART OF THAT. SO, WENT OFF TO COLLEGE,
- 00:02:08.384 --> 00:02:10.053
- SO, WENT OFF TO COLLEGE, MAJORED IN MUSIC AND BIOLOGY,
- 00:02:10.119 --> 00:02:11.454
- MAJORED IN MUSIC AND BIOLOGY, BECAME AN EVOLUTIONIST.
- 00:02:11.521 --> 00:02:12.755
- BECAME AN EVOLUTIONIST. THEN, WENT TO DENTAL SCHOOL.
- 00:02:12.822 --> 00:02:14.524
- THEN, WENT TO DENTAL SCHOOL. BY THE TIME I GOT OUT OF DENTAL
- 00:02:14.591 --> 00:02:15.358
- BY THE TIME I GOT OUT OF DENTAL SCHOOL, I WAS AN AGNOSTIC.
- 00:02:15.425 --> 00:02:17.927
- SCHOOL, I WAS AN AGNOSTIC. MAYBE GOD EXISTS; MAYBE HE
- 00:02:17.994 --> 00:02:19.429
- MAYBE GOD EXISTS; MAYBE HE DOESN'T.
- 00:02:19.495 --> 00:02:20.196
- DOESN'T. LOOKING INTO ZEN BUDDHISM --
- 00:02:20.263 --> 00:02:20.930
- LOOKING INTO ZEN BUDDHISM -- I'M PART OF THE HIPPIE
- 00:02:20.997 --> 00:02:21.598
- I'M PART OF THE HIPPIE GENERATION -- VIETNAM WAR DAYS.
- 00:02:21.664 --> 00:02:23.099
- AND, I WENT IN THE AIR FORCE,
- 00:02:24.534 --> 00:02:25.101
- AND, I WENT IN THE AIR FORCE, AND DECIDED TO SAY A PRAYER TO
- 00:02:25.168 --> 00:02:26.469
- AND DECIDED TO SAY A PRAYER TO THE GOD OF THE BIBLE.
- 00:02:26.536 --> 00:02:27.770
- THE GOD OF THE BIBLE. I'M GONNA CLEAR THINGS UP, ONCE
- 00:02:27.837 --> 00:02:28.538
- I'M GONNA CLEAR THINGS UP, ONCE AND FOR ALL.
- 00:02:28.605 --> 00:02:30.273
- AND FOR ALL. I SAID, "OKAY, GOD, IF YOU'RE
- 00:02:30.340 --> 00:02:31.107
- I SAID, "OKAY, GOD, IF YOU'RE UP THERE, YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES:
- 00:02:31.174 --> 00:02:31.774
- UP THERE, YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES: YOU CAN EITHER SHOW ME THE GIRL
- 00:02:31.841 --> 00:02:32.809
- YOU CAN EITHER SHOW ME THE GIRL I'M GOING TO MARRY, OR YOU'RE
- 00:02:32.875 --> 00:02:33.910

- 00:02:33.977 --> 00:02:35.311
- GONNA SEE THE WILDEST AIR FORCE OFFICER YOU'VE EVER SEEN."
- 00:02:35.378 --> 00:02:37.847
- THAT'S THE DAY I MET MY WIFE.
- 00:02:39.082 --> 00:02:39.649

- WITH ME. WE WERE BOTH IN BASIC TRAINING.
- 00:02:44.153 --> 00:02:44.854

- 00:02:47.557 --> 00:02:49.058
- WAS GONNA MARRY HER, AND I DECIDED:
- 00:02:49.125 --> 00:02:49.926
- AND I DECIDED: I THINK THE GOD OF THE

- HEARD A TALK AT MY CHURCH ABOUT DINOSAURS LIVING WITH MAN.
- 00:05:08.664 --> 00:05:12.502
- DINOSAURS LIVING WITH MAN. AND I CAME TO THE TALK AS A
- 00:05:12.568 --> 00:05:13.736
- AND I CAME TO THE TALK AS A SKEPTIC, I MEAN, JUST THINKING:
- 00:05:13.803 --> 00:05:14.370
- SKEPTIC, I MEAN, JUST THINKING: THIS GUY'S OUT TO LUNCH!
- 00:05:14.437 --> 00:05:15.805
- THIS GUY'S OUT TO LUNCH! HE'S GOTTA BE CRAZY.
- 00:05:15.872 --> 00:05:17.039
- HE'S GOTTA BE CRAZY. WE KNOW DINOSAURS LIVED

- WE KNOW DINOSAURS LIVED MILLIONS OF YEARS AGO.
- 00:05:17.673 --> 00:05:19.008
- MILLIONS OF YEARS AGO. HALFWAY THROUGH THE TALK, I
- 00:05:19.075 --> 00:05:20.376
- HALFWAY THROUGH THE TALK, I REALLY HAD TO CHECK MYSELF AND
- 00:05:20.443 --> 00:05:22.712
- REALLY HAD TO CHECK MYSELF AND THINK: MY GOSH, HE'S PRESENTING
- 00:05:22.779 --> 00:05:24.847
- THINK: MY GOSH, HE'S PRESENTING WORLDWIDE HISTORIES OF ALL
- 00:05:24.914 --> 00:05:26.582
- WORLDWIDE HISTORIES OF ALL THESE DIFFERENT PEOPLE GROUPS
- 00:05:26.649 --> 00:05:28.217

- DRAGON-LIKE CREATURES THAT HE SAYS LIVED AFTER THE FLOOD.
- 00:05:31.921 --> 00:05:33.423
- SAYS LIVED AFTER THE FLOOD. AND THEN, WE HAVE DINOSAUR
- 00:05:33.489 --> 00:05:35.425
- AND THEN, WE HAVE DINOSAUR SOFT TISSUE AND THINGS LIKE
- 00:05:35.491 --> 00:05:37.026
- SOFT TISSUE AND THINGS LIKE BLOOD VESSELS AND VEINS AND
- 00:05:37.093 --> 00:05:39.929

- AND I PLUNGED INTO IT FOR AN ENTIRE SUMMER.
- 00:05:54.343 --> 00:05:55.845

- ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THAT RESEARCH PROCESS, I CAME FACE

- AT BAYLOR DENTAL COLLEGE, I GAVE MY FIRST LECTURE ON THE

- 00:06:42.425 --> 00:06:42.925
- BELIEVED THAT, BUT I DID. TWO OF MY STUDENTS CHALLENGED
- 00:06:42.992 --> 00:06:43.993
- TWO OF MY STUDENTS CHALLENGED ME, AFTER CLASS: "DR. MARTIN,
- 00:06:44.060 --> 00:06:46.028
- ME, AFTER CLASS: "DR. MARTIN, WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO STUDY

- WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO STUDY CREATION SCIENCE WITH US?"
- 00:06:46.963 --> 00:06:48.431
- CREATION SCIENCE WITH US?" I'M THINKING: MAN, THESE GUYS
- 00:06:48.498 --> 00:06:50.333
- I'M THINKING: MAN, THESE GUYS ARE IN THE STONE AGES.
- 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:52.768
- ARE IN THE STONE AGES. HOW'D THEY GET INTO DENTAL
- 00:06:52.835 --> 00:06:53.569
- HOW'D THEY GET INTO DENTAL SCHOOL?
- 00:06:53.636 --> 00:06:54.070
- SCHOOL? BUT I SAID, "YES, I'LL DO
- 00:06:54.136 --> 00:06:55.171
- BUT I SAID, "YES, I'LL DO THAT."
- 00:06:55.238 --> 00:06:55.638
- THAT." SO, WE DID.
- 00:06:55.705 --> 00:06:57.073
- SO, WE DID. THEY ASKED ME TO STUDY THE
- 00:06:57.139 --> 00:06:57.840
- THEY ASKED ME TO STUDY THE ASSUMPTIONS BEHIND EVOLUTION;
- 00:06:57.907 --> 00:06:59.041
- ASSUMPTIONS BEHIND EVOLUTION; I DIDN'T THINK THERE WERE ANY.
- 00:06:59.108 --> 00:07:00.243
- I DIDN'T THINK THERE WERE ANY. OKAY. THEY SHOWED ME HOW TO
- 00:07:00.309 --> 00:07:01.444
- OKAY. THEY SHOWED ME HOW TO FIND THEM.
- 00:07:01.511 --> 00:07:02.512
- FIND THEM. WE LOOKED FOR WORDS LIKE
- 00:07:02.578 --> 00:07:03.579
- WE LOOKED FOR WORDS LIKE "THIS SUGGESTS," AND
- 00:07:03.646 --> 00:07:04.480
- "THIS SUGGESTS," AND "WE BELIEVE," "THIS PROBABLY,"
- 00:07:04.547 --> 00:07:06.215
- "WE BELIEVE," "THIS PROBABLY," "THERE'S CONSENSUS" -- THOSE
- 00:07:06.282 --> 00:07:07.316

- 00:07:07.383 --> 00:07:09.252
- KIND OF WORDS MEAN THEY DON'T KNOW.
- 00:07:09.318 --> 00:07:09.819
- KNOW. SO, I STARTED SEEING: WHOA, THE
- 00:07:09.886 --> 00:07:10.887
- SO, I STARTED SEEING: WHOA, THE ASSUMPTIONS BEHIND EVOLUTION
- 00:07:10.953 --> 00:07:12.188
- ASSUMPTIONS BEHIND EVOLUTION AREN'T GOOD.
- 00:07:12.255 --> 00:07:12.855
- AREN'T GOOD. AND THEN, THEY BROUGHT ME SOME
- 00:07:12.922 --> 00:07:14.357
- AND THEN, THEY BROUGHT ME SOME ANIMALS TO STUDY.

- 00:14:03.432 --> 00:14:03.866
- WHAT? MAYBE THE LORD REALLY COULD USE
- 00:14:03.933 --> 00:14:04.767
- MAYBE THE LORD REALLY COULD USE US IN A BIG WAY.
- 00:14:04.833 --> 00:14:07.836
- US IN A BIG WAY. AND THAT JUST LED ONE THING TO
- 00:14:07.903 --> 00:14:08.504
- AND THAT JUST LED ONE THING TO ANOTHER TO ANOTHER.
- 00:14:08.570 --> 00:14:09.338
- ANOTHER TO ANOTHER. SO...WE STARTED BIBLICAL
- 00:14:09.405 --> 00:14:10.205
- SO...WE STARTED BIBLICAL DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRIES.
- 00:14:10.272 --> 00:14:11.974
- DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRIES. - DR. WHITMORE: I'VE BEEN AT
- 00:14:12.041 --> 00:14:13.642
- - DR. WHITMORE: I'VE BEEN AT CEDARVILLE 30 YEARS NOW.
- 00:14:13.709 --> 00:14:15.177
- CEDARVILLE 30 YEARS NOW. TEACHING IS A VERY REWARDING
- 00:14:15.244 --> 00:14:15.844
- TEACHING IS A VERY REWARDING DISCIPLINE.
- 00:14:15.911 --> 00:14:21.917
- DISCIPLINE. IT'S ESPECIALLY NICE WHEN YOU
- 00:14:21.984 --> 00:14:22.551
- IT'S ESPECIALLY NICE WHEN YOU SEE THE LIGHT BULBS TURN ON.
- 00:14:22.618 --> 00:14:24.820
- SEE THE LIGHT BULBS TURN ON. THE MAJOR QUESTIONS ARE:
- 00:14:24.887 --> 00:14:26.355
- THE MAJOR QUESTIONS ARE: "DID EVOLUTION HAPPEN?"
- 00:14:26.422 --> 00:14:31.093
- "DID EVOLUTION HAPPEN?" AND "HOW OLD IS THE EARTH?"
- 00:14:31.160 --> 00:14:32.227
- AND "HOW OLD IS THE EARTH?" THAT, OF COURSE, LEADS TO:
- 00:14:32.294 --> 00:14:33.162
- THAT, OF COURSE, LEADS TO: "IS THE BIBLE ACCURATE?"
- 00:14:33.228 --> 00:14:34.096
- "IS THE BIBLE ACCURATE?" "IS GENESIS ACCURATE?"
- 00:14:34.163 --> 00:14:36.732
- "IS GENESIS ACCURATE?" "WERE THOSE LITERAL 24-HOUR
- 00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:38.267
- "WERE THOSE LITERAL 24-HOUR DAYS DURING THE CREATION,
- 00:14:38.334 --> 00:14:39.435
- DAYS DURING THE CREATION, OR LONG PERIODS OF TIME?"
- 00:14:39.501 --> 00:14:43.238
- OR LONG PERIODS OF TIME?" AS A SCIENTIST, SCRIPTURE IS
- 00:14:43.305 --> 00:14:44.606
- AS A SCIENTIST, SCRIPTURE IS KIND OF AN OUTLINE OF WHAT HAS
- 00:14:44.673 --> 00:14:46.575
- KIND OF AN OUTLINE OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN WORLD HISTORY.
- 00:14:46.642 --> 00:14:48.277
- HAPPENED IN WORLD HISTORY. AND, I CAN KIND OF USE THAT TO
- 00:14:48.344 --> 00:14:51.246
- AND, I CAN KIND OF USE THAT TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ROCK
- 00:14:51.313 --> 00:14:52.715
- ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ROCK RECORD THAT SECULAR SCIENTISTS
- 00:14:52.781 --> 00:14:54.216
- RECORD THAT SECULAR SCIENTISTS MAY NOT ASK.
- 00:14:54.283 --> 00:14:57.486
- MAY NOT ASK. SCRIPTURE TELLS US ABOUT
- 00:14:57.553 --> 00:14:58.721
- SCRIPTURE TELLS US ABOUT CREATION, TELLS US ABOUT THE
- 00:14:58.787 --> 00:14:59.555
- CREATION, TELLS US ABOUT THE WORLDWIDE FLOOD.
- 00:14:59.621 --> 00:15:00.956
- WORLDWIDE FLOOD. AND, AS A GEOLOGIST, I'M
- 00:15:01.023 --> 00:15:02.191
- AND, AS A GEOLOGIST, I'M PRIMARILY INTERESTED IN THE
- 00:15:02.257 --> 00:15:03.559
- PRIMARILY INTERESTED IN THE WORLDWIDE FLOOD.
- 00:15:03.625 --> 00:15:05.894
- WORLDWIDE FLOOD. IF YOU HAVE A ROCK FORMATION,
- 00:15:05.961 --> 00:15:07.229
- IF YOU HAVE A ROCK FORMATION, OUT THERE THAT'S IN THE MIDDLE
- 00:15:07.296 --> 00:15:09.164
- OUT THERE THAT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF WHAT YOU THINK IS THE FLOOD
- 00:15:09.231 --> 00:15:10.399
- OF WHAT YOU THINK IS THE FLOOD SEQUENCE, THERE SURE SHOULD BE
- 00:15:10.466 --> 00:15:11.433
- SEQUENCE, THERE SURE SHOULD BE SOME EVIDENCE OF WATER
- 00:15:11.500 --> 00:15:16.238
- SOME EVIDENCE OF WATER DEPOSITION IN THAT ROCK LAYER.
- 00:15:16.305 --> 00:15:17.639
- DEPOSITION IN THAT ROCK LAYER. I GO TO THAT ROCK LAYER,
- 00:15:17.706 --> 00:15:18.507
- I GO TO THAT ROCK LAYER, ALREADY, WITH THIS IDEA OF A
- 00:15:18.574 --> 00:15:21.577
- ALREADY, WITH THIS IDEA OF A NOAH'S FLOOD, AND I CAN LOOK
- 00:15:21.643 --> 00:15:23.479
- NOAH'S FLOOD, AND I CAN LOOK FOR THINGS.
- 00:15:23.545 --> 00:15:25.881
- FOR THINGS. SO, I'LL CUT THE ROCK OPEN AND
- 00:15:25.948 --> 00:15:26.949
- SO, I'LL CUT THE ROCK OPEN AND PUT IT UNDER THE MICROSCOPE AND
- 00:15:27.016 --> 00:15:28.050
- PUT IT UNDER THE MICROSCOPE AND I CAN FIND THINGS IN THAT THAT
- 00:15:28.117 --> 00:15:31.320
- I CAN FIND THINGS IN THAT THAT WOULD PROVE WATER DEPOSITION.
- 00:15:31.387 --> 00:15:33.555
- A CONVENTIONAL SCIENTIST
- 00:15:34.523 --> 00:15:34.990
- A CONVENTIONAL SCIENTIST LOOKING AT THE SAME ROCK UNDER
- 00:15:35.057 --> 00:15:36.225
- LOOKING AT THE SAME ROCK UNDER THE MICROSCOPE WOULD PROBABLY
- 00:15:36.291 --> 00:15:37.326
- THE MICROSCOPE WOULD PROBABLY JUST IGNORE THOSE THINGS AS NOT
- 00:15:37.393 --> 00:15:39.128
- JUST IGNORE THOSE THINGS AS NOT IMPORTANT, OR, YOU KNOW,
- 00:15:39.194 --> 00:15:42.064
- "I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT GOT
- 00:15:42.731 --> 00:15:43.232
- "I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT GOT THERE -- LET'S, YOU KNOW, LOOK
- 00:15:43.298 --> 00:15:44.233
- THERE -- LET'S, YOU KNOW, LOOK AT SOME OTHER THINGS," RIGHT?
- 00:15:44.299 --> 00:15:46.268
- AT SOME OTHER THINGS," RIGHT? BUT, SCRIPTURE REALLY GUIDES US
- 00:15:46.335 --> 00:15:47.536
- BUT, SCRIPTURE REALLY GUIDES US THROUGH THE SCIENTIFIC PROCESS
- 00:15:47.603 --> 00:15:49.838
- THROUGH THE SCIENTIFIC PROCESS AND HELPS US AS SCIENTISTS.
- 00:15:49.905 --> 00:15:52.341
- AND HELPS US AS SCIENTISTS. AND I THINK SCRIPTURE'S REALLY
- 00:15:52.408 --> 00:15:54.910
- AND I THINK SCRIPTURE'S REALLY HELPED ME BECOME A BETTER
- 00:15:54.977 --> 00:15:55.644
- HELPED ME BECOME A BETTER SCIENTIST.
- 00:15:55.711 --> 00:15:57.312
- SCIENTIST. - DR. BIDDLE: IN MOST STATES,
- 00:15:57.379 --> 00:15:58.647
- - DR. BIDDLE: IN MOST STATES, THE SECULAR EDUCATION SYSTEM
- 00:15:58.714 --> 00:15:59.248
- THE SECULAR EDUCATION SYSTEM WILL PUT THE STUDENTS
- 00:15:59.314 --> 00:16:00.416
- WILL PUT THE STUDENTS THROUGH 250 PAGES AND ABOUT
- 00:16:00.482 --> 00:16:02.651
- THROUGH 250 PAGES AND ABOUT 50 CLASSROOM HOURS OF SATURATED
- 00:16:02.718 --> 00:16:04.319
- 50 CLASSROOM HOURS OF SATURATED EVOLUTION TEACHING.
- 00:16:04.386 --> 00:16:07.556
- EVOLUTION TEACHING. WE'VE DONE SURVEY WORK OF
- 00:16:07.623 --> 00:16:09.758
- WE'VE DONE SURVEY WORK OF HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS BETWEEN
- 00:16:09.825 --> 00:16:11.360
- HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS BETWEEN 16 AND 24, AND WE'VE ASKED THEM
- 00:16:11.427 --> 00:16:13.328
- 16 AND 24, AND WE'VE ASKED THEM WHAT THE LEADING REASONS WERE
- 00:16:13.395 --> 00:16:16.065
- WHAT THE LEADING REASONS WERE FOR EVOLUTION, AND IT ALL BOILS
- 00:16:16.131 --> 00:16:18.167
- FOR EVOLUTION, AND IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO JUST FOUR THINGS.
- 00:16:18.233 --> 00:16:20.235
- DOWN TO JUST FOUR THINGS. SO, 72 PERCENT OF OUR RESEARCH
- 00:16:20.302 --> 00:16:22.704
- SO, 72 PERCENT OF OUR RESEARCH STUDY SAID THAT THE REASONS
- 00:16:22.771 --> 00:16:23.939
- STUDY SAID THAT THE REASONS THAT THEY BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION
- 00:16:24.006 --> 00:16:25.207
- THAT THEY BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION COME DOWN, FIRST, TO HUMAN
- 00:16:25.274 --> 00:16:26.975
- COME DOWN, FIRST, TO HUMAN EVOLUTION, BECAUSE-- AS A MARCH
- 00:16:27.042 --> 00:16:29.978
- EVOLUTION, BECAUSE-- AS A MARCH OF PROGRESS, OR ICONS LIKE
- 00:16:30.045 --> 00:16:32.114
- OF PROGRESS, OR ICONS LIKE LUCY, OR ARDI, AND THINGS LIKE
- 00:16:32.181 --> 00:16:33.649
- LUCY, OR ARDI, AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
- 00:16:33.715 --> 00:16:34.883
- THAT. THE SECOND ONE IS DARWIN'S
- 00:16:34.950 --> 00:16:35.984
- THE SECOND ONE IS DARWIN'S THEORY PROPER.
- 00:16:36.051 --> 00:16:37.352
- THEORY PROPER. THE THIRD ONE IS FOSSILS AND
- 00:16:37.419 --> 00:16:38.821
- THE THIRD ONE IS FOSSILS AND TRANSITIONS.
- 00:16:38.887 --> 00:16:39.588
- TRANSITIONS. AND THE FOURTH REASON, WHICH
- 00:16:39.655 --> 00:16:40.722
- AND THE FOURTH REASON, WHICH WAS SURPRISING TO ME, WAS
- 00:16:40.789 --> 00:16:41.957
- WAS SURPRISING TO ME, WAS "BECAUSE SMART SCIENTIST SAYS
- 00:16:42.024 --> 00:16:44.359
- "BECAUSE SMART SCIENTIST SAYS SO."
- 00:16:44.426 --> 00:16:46.728
- SO." I WAS GIVING A PREVIEW TALK
- 00:16:46.795 --> 00:16:48.230
- I WAS GIVING A PREVIEW TALK ABOUT NOAH'S FLOOD, SO, I HAD
- 00:16:48.297 --> 00:16:49.531
- ABOUT NOAH'S FLOOD, SO, I HAD MY DAUGHTER INVITE A SMALL
- 00:16:49.598 --> 00:16:50.566
- MY DAUGHTER INVITE A SMALL GROUP OF FRIENDS.
- 00:16:50.632 --> 00:16:52.167
- GROUP OF FRIENDS. AND I WAS GOING THROUGH THE
- 00:16:52.234 --> 00:16:53.535
- AND I WAS GOING THROUGH THE SLIDES AND I SAID, "I WANT YOUR
- 00:16:53.602 --> 00:16:54.303
- SLIDES AND I SAID, "I WANT YOUR FEEDBACK ON THOSE SLIDES AS I
- 00:16:54.369 --> 00:16:54.970
- FEEDBACK ON THOSE SLIDES AS I GO THROUGH 'EM."
- 00:16:55.037 --> 00:16:56.705
- GO THROUGH 'EM." THE GAL NAMED TAYLOR -- SHE WAS
- 00:16:56.772 --> 00:16:59.241
- THE GAL NAMED TAYLOR -- SHE WAS IN AP BIOLOGY.
- 00:16:59.308 --> 00:17:00.309
- IN AP BIOLOGY. SHE WAS A REALLY SMART GAL.
- 00:17:00.375 --> 00:17:02.611
- SHE WAS A REALLY SMART GAL. ABOUT 30 MINUTES INTO IT, YOU
- 00:17:02.678 --> 00:17:03.879
- ABOUT 30 MINUTES INTO IT, YOU COULD SENSE SHE WAS GETTING
- 00:17:03.946 --> 00:17:05.013
- COULD SENSE SHE WAS GETTING REALLY, REALLY INTERESTED.
- 00:17:05.080 --> 00:17:05.981
- REALLY, REALLY INTERESTED. AND THEN, SHE STARTED DERAILING
- 00:17:06.048 --> 00:17:07.116
- AND THEN, SHE STARTED DERAILING MY TALK.
- 00:17:07.182 --> 00:17:08.016
- MY TALK. "WHAT ABOUT THE RACE GROUPS?"
- 00:17:08.083 --> 00:17:08.984
- "WHAT ABOUT THE RACE GROUPS?" "WHAT ABOUT THE DAYS -- ARE
- 00:17:09.051 --> 00:17:10.452
- "WHAT ABOUT THE DAYS -- ARE THEY REALLY DAYS?"
- 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:10.986
- THEY REALLY DAYS?" ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER,
- 00:17:11.053 --> 00:17:12.020
- ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER, I LOOKED AT HER, AND YOU COULD
- 00:17:12.087 --> 00:17:13.188
- I LOOKED AT HER, AND YOU COULD SEE IT -- THE LIGHT BULB HAD
- 00:17:13.255 --> 00:17:14.256
- SEE IT -- THE LIGHT BULB HAD TURNED ON.
- 00:17:14.323 --> 00:17:16.959
- TURNED ON. YOU COULD LOOK AT HER EYES AND
- 00:17:17.025 --> 00:17:18.093
- YOU COULD LOOK AT HER EYES AND SHE...BECAME A BELIEVER.
- 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:20.529
- SHE...BECAME A BELIEVER. IT WAS AN INSTANTANEOUS THING,
- 00:17:20.596 --> 00:17:22.197
- IT WAS AN INSTANTANEOUS THING, AND SHE SHARED WITH ME, LATER,
- 00:17:22.264 --> 00:17:24.066
- AND SHE SHARED WITH ME, LATER, SHE'S LIKE: "DAN, I'VE BEEN
- 00:17:24.133 --> 00:17:25.234
- SHE'S LIKE: "DAN, I'VE BEEN GOING TO CHURCH, MY WHOLE LIFE!

- YOU KNOW, I'M A SPIRIT-FILLED BELIEVER AND I BELIEVE GOD'S
- 00:17:28.604 --> 00:17:30.506
- BELIEVER AND I BELIEVE GOD'S WORD, BUT I NEVER REALLY
- 00:17:30.572 --> 00:17:31.907
- WORD, BUT I NEVER REALLY PRESSURE TESTED THESE IDEAS;

- PRESSURE TESTED THESE IDEAS; I JUST ALWAYS ASSUMED THAT GOD
- 00:17:33.876 --> 00:17:34.977
- I JUST ALWAYS ASSUMED THAT GOD USED EVOLUTION.
- 00:17:35.043 --> 00:17:35.844
- USED EVOLUTION. BECAUSE WHEN I WENT TO MY
- 00:17:35.911 --> 00:17:36.879
- BECAUSE WHEN I WENT TO MY BIOLOGY CLASS AND MY AP BIOLOGY

- CLASS, THEY TAUGHT IT LIKE IT WAS REAL SCIENCE.
- 00:17:38.947 --> 00:17:42.217
- WAS REAL SCIENCE. BUT, NOW, I'VE COME TO TRUST
- 00:17:42.284 --> 00:17:42.818
- BUT, NOW, I'VE COME TO TRUST THAT THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD

- ACTUALLY, IF YOU GO INTO THE EVOLUTIONARY LITERATURE, AND

- EVOLUTIONARY LITERATURE, AND YOU PICK OUT EACH ONE OF THOSE
- 00:17:59.635 --> 00:18:01.470
- YOU PICK OUT EACH ONE OF THOSE -- RAMAPITHECUS, ZINJANTHROPUS,
- 00:18:01.537 --> 00:18:02.771
- -- RAMAPITHECUS, ZINJANTHROPUS, WHATEVER YOU WANNA LOOK AT --
- 00:18:02.838 --> 00:18:05.040
- WHATEVER YOU WANNA LOOK AT -- THE EVOLUTIONISTS HAVE SAID,
- 00:18:05.107 --> 00:18:05.974
- THE EVOLUTIONISTS HAVE SAID, "WELL, WAIT A MINUTE --
- 00:18:06.041 --> 00:18:06.475
- "WELL, WAIT A MINUTE -- THAT WAS AN ORANGUTAN,"
- 00:18:06.542 --> 00:18:08.577
- THAT WAS AN ORANGUTAN," "THAT WAS A CHIMPANZEE,"

- AND, THEY DON'T HAVE ANY AGREEMENT.

- HAVE ANY AGREEMENT. BUT IF YOU JUST LOOK AT WHAT
- 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:13.582
- BUT IF YOU JUST LOOK AT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS -- GOD CREATED
- 00:18:13.649 --> 00:18:15.551
- THE BIBLE SAYS -- GOD CREATED EACH THING, AFTER ITS OWN KIND
- 00:18:15.617 --> 00:18:17.986
- EACH THING, AFTER ITS OWN KIND -- AND THEN, YOU LOOK AT THE

- -- AND THEN, YOU LOOK AT THE ANIMALS -- IN THE FOSSILS,

- ANIMALS -- IN THE FOSSILS, AND IN LIVING ANIMALS --
- 00:18:21.423 --> 00:18:23.091
- AND IN LIVING ANIMALS -- THEY'RE ALL AFTER THEIR

- THEY'RE ALL AFTER THEIR OWN KIND.
- 00:18:23.692 --> 00:18:24.693
- OWN KIND. THERE MIGHT BE VARIATIONS
- 00:18:24.760 --> 00:18:25.861
- THERE MIGHT BE VARIATIONS WITHIN THE KIND, BUT THEY'RE
- 00:18:25.928 --> 00:18:27.229
- WITHIN THE KIND, BUT THEY'RE ALL OF THE SAME KIND.
- 00:18:27.296 --> 00:18:30.132
- ALL OF THE SAME KIND. [PEACEFUL MUSIC PLAYS]

- THESE ANIMALS -- THEY FIT THE BIBLICAL DESCRIPTION.

- BIBLICAL DESCRIPTION. AND THEY FIT THE FOSSIL RECORD.
- 00:18:35.270 --> 00:18:36.738
- AND THEY FIT THE FOSSIL RECORD. AND SO, ACTUALLY, THE BIBLE IS
- 00:18:36.805 --> 00:18:38.140
- AND SO, ACTUALLY, THE BIBLE IS MORE ACCURATE, HERE, THAN
- 00:18:38.207 --> 00:18:40.742
- MORE ACCURATE, HERE, THAN MODERN EVOLUTIONARY SCIENCE.
- 00:18:40.809 --> 00:18:48.317
- MODERN EVOLUTIONARY SCIENCE. THEY'VE, NOW, DONE A LOT OF
- 00:18:48.383 --> 00:18:49.084
- THEY'VE, NOW, DONE A LOT OF WORK ON CHIMPANZEE DNA AND
- 00:18:49.151 --> 00:18:50.219
- WORK ON CHIMPANZEE DNA AND HUMAN DNA, AND THEY USED TO
- 00:18:50.285 --> 00:18:50.986
- HUMAN DNA, AND THEY USED TO SAY, "WELL, WE'RE 98-,
- 00:18:51.053 --> 00:18:52.020
- SAY, "WELL, WE'RE 98-, 99 PERCENT CHIMP DNA."

- PRESENT AT NATIONAL GEOLOGY CONFERENCES.
- 00:20:49.971 --> 00:20:51.973
- CONFERENCES. I'VE HAD GUYS THAT HAVE COME UP
- 00:20:52.040 --> 00:20:53.308
- I'VE HAD GUYS THAT HAVE COME UP TO ME, KNOWING THAT I WAS
- 00:20:53.375 --> 00:20:55.277
- TO ME, KNOWING THAT I WAS YOUNG-EARTH CREATIONIST, AND
- 00:20:55.344 --> 00:20:56.511
- YOUNG-EARTH CREATIONIST, AND ATTACK ME FOR THAT AND NOT EVEN
- 00:20:56.578 --> 00:20:57.813
- ATTACK ME FOR THAT AND NOT EVEN CONSIDER THE DATA.
- 00:20:57.879 --> 00:21:00.949
- CONSIDER THE DATA. LIKE, IN THE COCONINO
- 00:21:01.016 --> 00:21:02.084
- LIKE, IN THE COCONINO SANDSTONE, I HAVE FOUND
- 00:21:02.150 --> 00:21:03.218
- SANDSTONE, I HAVE FOUND SOME THINGS IN THE COCONINO
- 00:21:03.285 --> 00:21:04.586
- SOME THINGS IN THE COCONINO THAT CLEARLY DEMONSTRATE THAT
- 00:21:04.653 --> 00:21:07.155
- THAT CLEARLY DEMONSTRATE THAT IT WAS MADE UNDERWATER.
- 00:21:07.222 --> 00:21:09.391
- IT WAS MADE UNDERWATER. AND OTHER SCIENTISTS HAVE
- 00:21:09.458 --> 00:21:10.525
- AND OTHER SCIENTISTS HAVE MISSED THAT BECAUSE OF THEIR
- 00:21:10.592 --> 00:21:11.526
- MISSED THAT BECAUSE OF THEIR WORLDVIEW.
- 00:21:11.593 --> 00:21:14.363
- WORLDVIEW. I REMEMBER, ONE YEAR, I WAS AT
- 00:21:14.429 --> 00:21:14.996
- I REMEMBER, ONE YEAR, I WAS AT A CONFERENCE WHERE I HAD THIS
- 00:21:15.063 --> 00:21:15.864
- A CONFERENCE WHERE I HAD THIS NICE FOLD IN THE ROCKS.
- 00:21:15.931 --> 00:21:19.034
- NICE FOLD IN THE ROCKS. IT WAS KIND OF LIKE A U-SHAPED
- 00:21:19.101 --> 00:21:20.702
- IT WAS KIND OF LIKE A U-SHAPED FOLD?
- 00:21:20.769 --> 00:21:22.871
- FOLD? AND IT'S CALLED A PARABOLIC
- 00:21:22.938 --> 00:21:23.472
- AND IT'S CALLED A PARABOLIC RECUMBENT FOLD.
- 00:21:23.538 --> 00:21:25.307
- RECUMBENT FOLD. AND, I FOUND THIS FOLD, IN A
- 00:21:25.374 --> 00:21:26.174
- AND, I FOUND THIS FOLD, IN A SANDSTONE.
- 00:21:26.241 --> 00:21:27.743
- SANDSTONE. AND, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS CAN
- 00:21:27.809 --> 00:21:30.011
- AND, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS CAN ONLY BE MADE UNDERWATER, BY
- 00:21:30.078 --> 00:21:31.813
- ONLY BE MADE UNDERWATER, BY VERY STRONG WATER CURRENTS.
- 00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:33.281
- VERY STRONG WATER CURRENTS. AND, I HAD A GEOLOGIST COME UP
- 00:21:33.348 --> 00:21:35.117
- AND, I HAD A GEOLOGIST COME UP AND SEE, YOU KNOW, THE PICTURE,
- 00:21:35.183 --> 00:21:36.785
- AND SEE, YOU KNOW, THE PICTURE, AND HE SAYS: "OH! ISN'T THAT SO
- 00:21:36.852 --> 00:21:37.853
- AND HE SAYS: "OH! ISN'T THAT SO NEAT!
- 00:21:37.919 --> 00:21:38.487
- NEAT! THAT'S A PARABOLIC RECUMBENT
- 00:21:38.553 --> 00:21:39.621
- THAT'S A PARABOLIC RECUMBENT FOLD."
- 00:21:39.688 --> 00:21:40.522
- FOLD." AND THEN, HE LOOKED AT THE
- 00:21:40.589 --> 00:21:41.723
- AND THEN, HE LOOKED AT THE TITLE OF MY POSTER AND SAW IT
- 00:21:41.790 --> 00:21:43.959
- TITLE OF MY POSTER AND SAW IT WAS ABOUT THE COCONINO.
- 00:21:44.025 --> 00:21:45.527
- WAS ABOUT THE COCONINO. AND HE SAID: "OH, WAIT A
- 00:21:45.594 --> 00:21:46.461
- AND HE SAID: "OH, WAIT A MINUTE!
- 00:21:46.528 --> 00:21:47.396
- MINUTE! THAT CAN'T BE A PARABOLIC
- 00:21:47.462 --> 00:21:49.231
- THAT CAN'T BE A PARABOLIC RECUMBENT FOLD, BECAUSE IT'S IN
- 00:21:49.297 --> 00:21:50.599
- RECUMBENT FOLD, BECAUSE IT'S IN THE COCONINO, WHICH IS A DESERT
- 00:21:50.665 --> 00:21:52.300
- THE COCONINO, WHICH IS A DESERT DEPOSIT."
- 00:21:52.367 --> 00:21:53.802
- DEPOSIT." AND, SO, ALL OF A SUDDEN, EVEN
- 00:21:53.869 --> 00:21:54.569
- AND, SO, ALL OF A SUDDEN, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE INITIALLY
- 00:21:54.636 --> 00:21:55.604
- THOUGH THEY WERE INITIALLY CONVINCED, THEY DENIED WHAT
- 00:21:55.670 --> 00:21:56.872
- CONVINCED, THEY DENIED WHAT THEY SAW, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, OF
- 00:21:56.938 --> 00:22:00.776
- THEY SAW, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, OF THEIR PARADIGM, OF THEIR
- 00:22:00.842 --> 00:22:02.344

- - DR. WHITMORE: QUESTIONS IS WHAT SCIENCE IS ALL ABOUT.
- 00:22:25.367 --> 00:22:26.001
- WHAT SCIENCE IS ALL ABOUT. SO, IF WE HAVE A QUESTION, WE
- 00:22:26.067 --> 00:22:27.102
- SO, IF WE HAVE A QUESTION, WE WANNA INVESTIGATE THAT AND
- 00:22:27.169 --> 00:22:29.504
- WANNA INVESTIGATE THAT AND SEARCH IT OUT AND THINK ABOUT
- 00:22:29.571 --> 00:22:31.440
- SEARCH IT OUT AND THINK ABOUT IT, FROM A SCIENTIFIC
- 00:22:31.506 --> 00:22:32.574
- IT, FROM A SCIENTIFIC PERSPECTIVE.
- 00:22:32.641 --> 00:22:33.975
- PERSPECTIVE. AND, TO ME, THAT'S ONE OF THE
- 00:22:34.042 --> 00:22:35.410
- AND, TO ME, THAT'S ONE OF THE EXCITING THINGS ABOUT SCIENCE.
- 00:22:35.477 --> 00:22:38.113
- EXCITING THINGS ABOUT SCIENCE. IT'S A JOY TO BE A SCIENTIST
- 00:22:38.180 --> 00:22:41.550
- IT'S A JOY TO BE A SCIENTIST AND DISCOVER THESE THINGS.
- 00:22:41.616 --> 00:22:45.153
- AND DISCOVER THESE THINGS. WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS,
- 00:22:45.220 --> 00:22:46.521
- WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS, AS YOUNG-EARTH CREATIONISTS.
- 00:22:46.588 --> 00:22:48.256
- AS YOUNG-EARTH CREATIONISTS. BUT THE NEAT THING THAT WE CAN
- 00:22:48.323 --> 00:22:50.025
- BUT THE NEAT THING THAT WE CAN DO IS GO OUT IN THE FIELD AND
- 00:22:50.091 --> 00:22:51.293
- DO IS GO OUT IN THE FIELD AND LOOK AND DISCOVER AND FIND.
- 00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:52.994
- LOOK AND DISCOVER AND FIND. AND, AS A CHRISTIAN, WHEN I GO
- 00:22:53.061 --> 00:22:55.730
- AND, AS A CHRISTIAN, WHEN I GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS, IT
- 00:22:55.797 --> 00:22:57.165
- THROUGH THAT PROCESS, IT ACTUALLY HELPS ME TO RETURN
- 00:22:57.232 --> 00:22:58.733
- ACTUALLY HELPS ME TO RETURN PRAISE TO GOD.
- 00:22:58.800 --> 00:23:01.603
- PRAISE TO GOD. AND I THINK THAT'S WHY
- 00:23:01.670 --> 00:23:02.370
- AND I THINK THAT'S WHY GOD DIDN'T GIVE US ALL THE
- 00:23:02.437 --> 00:23:03.605
- GOD DIDN'T GIVE US ALL THE ANSWERS -- HE WANTS US TO FIND
- 00:23:03.672 --> 00:23:04.873
- ANSWERS -- HE WANTS US TO FIND SOME THINGS OUT AND RECOGNIZE
- 00:23:04.940 --> 00:23:07.309
- SOME THINGS OUT AND RECOGNIZE THAT, YOU KNOW, HIS WORD IS
- 00:23:07.375 --> 00:23:08.643
- THAT, YOU KNOW, HIS WORD IS TRUE, AND, WHEN WE SEE THAT,
- 00:23:08.710 --> 00:23:10.245
- TRUE, AND, WHEN WE SEE THAT, THEN, WE RETURN PRAISE TO THE
- 00:23:10.312 --> 00:23:11.446
- THEN, WE RETURN PRAISE TO THE CREATOR.
- 00:23:11.513 --> 00:23:15.617
