- That it's been claimed to
- 00:00:52.676 --> 00:00:54.010
- Have formed the grand canyon and all the sedimentary layers.
- 00:00:54.010 --> 00:00:56.947
- We're gonna explain that today
- 00:00:56.947 --> 00:00:58.315

- Jim: it's starting to kind of get all blurry, you know?
- 00:01:37.921 --> 00:01:40.056
- But we've done three days.
- 00:01:40.056 --> 00:01:42.526
- Andrew: it' beginning to feel like millions of years.
- 00:01:42.526 --> 00:01:44.161
- Jim: true.
- 00:01:44.161 --> 00:01:45.529
- So what's the plan for the day?
- 00:01:45.529 --> 00:01:48.265
- Andrew: we're camped here at upper nevills near
- 00:01:48.265 --> 00:01:52.469
- A 75-mile creek, okay?
- 00:01:52.469 --> 00:01:54.838
- And we're gonna motor on down to hance,
- 00:01:54.838 --> 00:01:58.308
- Hance rapid here.
- 00:01:58.308 --> 00:02:00.343
- This is our first technical ten.
- 00:02:00.343 --> 00:02:02.679
- Jim: ten, all right.
- 00:02:02.679 --> 00:02:04.047
- Would you say today is the biggest rapids day?
- 00:02:04.047 --> 00:02:06.650
- Andrew: yes, we're gonna have eights and nines all day.
- 00:02:06.650 --> 00:02:09.219
- Jim: all right.
- 00:02:09.219 --> 00:02:10.554
- Andrew: we're gonna come to phantom ranch,
- 00:02:10.554 --> 00:02:12.322
- That's where the bright angel trail
- 00:02:12.322 --> 00:02:13.990
- Comes down from the south rim.
- 00:02:13.990 --> 00:02:15.692
- Jim: so people that come to the grand canyon,
- 00:02:15.692 --> 00:02:17.394
- Typically, they're coming right here.
- 00:02:17.394 --> 00:02:18.862
- Andrew: correct.
- 00:02:18.862 --> 00:02:20.197
- We get to horn creek rapid, it's eight, nine.
- 00:02:20.197 --> 00:02:23.033
- It's the largest single drop in any rapid.
- 00:02:23.033 --> 00:02:25.368
- Jim: oh, my.
- 00:02:25.368 --> 00:02:26.703
- Andrew: then you get to hermit, that's my favorite.
- 00:02:26.703 --> 00:02:28.305
- It's a perfect roller coaster ride.
- 00:02:28.305 --> 00:02:30.173
- When they run it at high water,
- 00:02:30.173 --> 00:02:32.375
- We've had waves as high as 40 feet.
- 00:02:32.375 --> 00:02:34.344
- Jim: what?
- 00:02:34.344 --> 00:02:35.679
- Andrew: but the boat will totally disappear.
- 00:02:35.679 --> 00:02:37.080
- Jim: okay.
- 00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:38.415
- Andrew: and everybody has us really thrill, okay?
- 00:02:38.415 --> 00:02:40.984
- And then we go through boucher, and then we get to crystal.
- 00:02:40.984 --> 00:02:43.987
- That's the most difficult one technically
- 00:02:43.987 --> 00:02:45.789
- For the for the boat.
- 00:02:45.789 --> 00:02:47.524
- Jim: and this is all today? andrew: yeah, all today.
- 00:02:47.524 --> 00:02:49.859
- We may even camp here, big dune.
- 00:02:49.859 --> 00:02:52.829
- We'll see.
- 00:02:52.829 --> 00:02:54.197
- Jim: you've never seen anyone pop off, right?
- 00:02:54.197 --> 00:02:56.233
- Andrew: no--well-- jim: oh, okay.
- 00:02:56.233 --> 00:02:58.835

- Andrew: the swamper saw that the guy next to me
- 00:03:01.571 --> 00:03:03.773
- Was gonna fall in.
- 00:03:03.773 --> 00:03:05.275
- And we're coming down the rapid, and he literally jumped over,
- 00:03:05.275 --> 00:03:08.745
- Grabbed the guy by his lifejacket
- 00:03:08.745 --> 00:03:11.114
- As he was about to fall off the boat.
- 00:03:11.114 --> 00:03:12.782
- And in the rebound when the when the rapid was doing this,
- 00:03:12.782 --> 00:03:16.453
- He hauled him in and dumped him in my lap.
- 00:03:16.453 --> 00:03:18.688
- Jim: okay, well let's just not let that happen today.
- 00:03:18.688 --> 00:03:22.259

- That was huge.
- 00:04:57.520 --> 00:05:00.056
- Jim: our first stop was monument fold.
- 00:05:03.927 --> 00:05:07.764
- This interesting fold in the tapeats sandstone is
- 00:05:07.764 --> 00:05:10.433
- Acknowledged by dr. snelling and all geologists to have occurred
- 00:05:10.433 --> 00:05:14.137
- After the layers were laid down and the plateau was thrust up.
- 00:05:14.137 --> 00:05:18.541
- But the conventional explanation is that the plateau was lifted
- 00:05:18.541 --> 00:05:21.911
- Up millions of years after the layers were laid down.
- 00:05:21.911 --> 00:05:25.215
- But in all those years, the soft sandstone would have dried out
- 00:05:25.215 --> 00:05:29.252
- And hardened, making it impossible to fold.
- 00:05:29.252 --> 00:05:32.222
- So most geologists say that the rock was heated up later
- 00:05:32.222 --> 00:05:36.826
- In a process called metamorphism, then folded.
- 00:05:36.826 --> 00:05:40.764
- Dr. snelling has spent years studying this and other folds
- 00:05:40.764 --> 00:05:44.401
- In the grand canyon.
- 00:05:44.401 --> 00:05:45.835
- If there was no evidence of reheating or fracturing,
- 00:05:45.835 --> 00:05:49.906
- Then these folds must have been done while wet and pliable
- 00:05:49.906 --> 00:05:53.977
- Within about a year of being laid down.
- 00:05:53.977 --> 00:05:58.648
- Andrew: in august 2017, we came down here with two small
- 00:05:58.648 --> 00:06:01.918
- Rafts, seven people, and we pulled in here to sample.
- 00:06:01.918 --> 00:06:07.490
- And the basic synopsis is that there's not the evidence
- 00:06:07.490 --> 00:06:10.994
- Of the breakage of the minerals.
- 00:06:10.994 --> 00:06:13.396
- There's no evidence of metamorphosis at all,
- 00:06:13.396 --> 00:06:15.832
- Metamorphism of minerals.
- 00:06:15.832 --> 00:06:17.734
- And at the moment, i'm publishing lots of microscope
- 00:06:17.734 --> 00:06:21.037
- Photographs so that if anybody argues,
- 00:06:21.037 --> 00:06:23.740
- You can say, "look, there's the photograph.
- 00:06:23.740 --> 00:06:25.909
- There's the evidence."

- Jim: after a fun, but long day,
- 00:06:28.978 --> 00:06:31.147
- We arrived at an immense campsite called big dune.
- 00:06:31.147 --> 00:06:35.385
- There, we once again unloaded our two massive rafts,
- 00:06:35.385 --> 00:06:38.988
- Set up camp, and enjoyed the evening.
- 00:06:38.988 --> 00:06:45.929
- Male announcer: evolution says the colorado river carved out
- 00:06:50.166 --> 00:06:52.802

- In maryland at the national institutes of health,
- 00:13:19.077 --> 00:13:22.347
- And the doctor there had figured out a protocol for recurrent

- Ewing sarcoma in young adults,
- 00:13:28.086 --> 00:13:31.322

- 00:14:02.553 --> 00:14:04.222
- And i remember them telling me i was gonna have to be
- 00:14:04.222 --> 00:14:06.024
- In the hospital for five days, and i'd never been away

- I had not been sick, but i just started coughing,
- 00:14:24.942 --> 00:14:27.378
- And i coughed up blood.
- 00:14:27.378 --> 00:14:29.614
- And i immediately knew that the cancer was probably back,
- 00:14:29.614 --> 00:14:33.217
- And i was right.
- 00:14:33.217 --> 00:14:34.819
- So again, we start with this treatment that they said
- 00:14:34.819 --> 00:14:37.755
- Would be--just be palliative.
- 00:14:37.755 --> 00:14:39.390
- I had to have a second thoracotomy,
- 00:14:39.390 --> 00:14:42.326
- A second part of lung removal.
- 00:14:42.326 --> 00:14:44.362
- So at this point, they went ahead and removed
- 00:14:44.362 --> 00:14:46.397
- Almost the entire right lung.
- 00:14:46.397 --> 00:14:47.899
- They left just a little, little lobe at the very top little part
- 00:14:47.899 --> 00:14:50.301
- At the very top.
- 00:14:50.301 --> 00:14:51.669
- So we did that, and we completed chemo treatment,
- 00:14:51.669 --> 00:14:55.039
- And the tumors were gone again.
- 00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:57.508
- Scott: of course, i wanted to be right by heather
- 00:14:57.508 --> 00:14:59.577
- And make sure she was okay.
- 00:14:59.577 --> 00:15:01.145
- Of course, i wanted to do all i could to take care of ellie ray,
- 00:15:01.145 --> 00:15:04.148

- 00:15:04.148 --> 00:15:06.150

- Above us is the tapeats sandstone remember?
- 00:15:50.862 --> 00:15:54.132
- The tapeats sandstone is the first,
- 00:15:54.132 --> 00:15:56.834
- First rock layer of the flood.
- 00:15:56.834 --> 00:15:59.770

- Metamorphic suite.

- 00:16:07.445 --> 00:16:12.150
- Dated at around 1.7 to 1.8 billion years.
- 00:16:12.150 --> 00:16:17.255
- At this boundary, the great unconformity,
- 00:16:17.255 --> 00:16:20.358
- There's 1.2 billion years of missing time and materials,

- This is an emotional moment because there were people
- 00:19:48.833 --> 00:19:51.569
- Living here that all were swept away by a flood.
- 00:19:51.569 --> 00:19:55.539
- You say, "well, god is cruel, god is mean."
- 00:19:55.539 --> 00:19:57.408
- No, we are wicked.
- 00:19:57.408 --> 00:19:58.809
- We have rebelled.
- 00:19:58.809 --> 00:20:00.177
- They had a chance to be saved.
- 00:20:00.177 --> 00:20:01.645
- There was an ark of safety, but they did not get on.
- 00:20:01.645 --> 00:20:05.015
- See, you and i have the chance to get on.
- 00:20:05.015 --> 00:20:07.084
- There is another judgment coming, be assured of that.
- 00:20:07.084 --> 00:20:10.388
- Look around, there is a god.
- 00:20:10.388 --> 00:20:11.956
- How can we know him?
- 00:20:11.956 --> 00:20:13.591
- Well, the bible tells us that we have sinned.
- 00:20:13.591 --> 00:20:15.593
- And let me use this rock to represent sin,
- 00:20:15.593 --> 00:20:20.030
- And let me use my left hand to represent you and me.
- 00:20:20.030 --> 00:20:23.768
- We all have sin.
- 00:20:23.768 --> 00:20:25.903
- My right hand, let me reverently use that
- 00:20:25.903 --> 00:20:28.539
- To represent jesus christ.
- 00:20:28.539 --> 00:20:30.207
- The bible says that he, god, hath made him christ.
- 00:20:30.207 --> 00:20:34.445
- Jesus is the son of god who knew no sin,
- 00:20:34.445 --> 00:20:37.481
- Watch, to be made sin for us that we might be made,
- 00:20:37.481 --> 00:20:41.719
- Watch this, the righteousness of god in him.
- 00:20:41.719 --> 00:20:45.089
- In other words, we're sinners.
- 00:20:45.089 --> 00:20:46.557
- We can't save ourself, but jesus came and paid for our sin,
- 00:20:46.557 --> 00:20:49.093
- And he offers anyone who will just believe in him,
- 00:20:49.093 --> 00:20:51.896
- Trust in him, not religion, not works,
- 00:20:51.896 --> 00:20:54.198
- Trust in him to be saved from hell to heaven.
- 00:20:54.198 --> 00:21:00.771
- This boundary of judgment reminds me that we had better
- 00:21:00.771 --> 00:21:05.142
- Listen for what god has said.
- 00:21:05.142 --> 00:21:07.645
- He made us.
- 00:21:07.645 --> 00:21:09.079
- He wants a relationship with us.
- 00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:10.614
- He wants to fellowship with us.
- 00:21:10.614 --> 00:21:11.949
- He wants to save us,
- 00:21:11.949 --> 00:21:13.317
- But you must receive his salvation by faith.
- 00:21:13.317 --> 00:21:16.353
