- 00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.561

- Robert: Yes.
- 00:10:16.998 --> 00:10:18.366
- This is a turtle model though,this is not a real turtle, just
- 00:10:18.400 --> 00:10:19.934
- so the people on camera knowwe didn't kill a turtle
- 00:10:19.968 --> 00:10:21.503
- and leave it out on the table.
- 00:10:21.536 --> 00:10:23.471
- Turtles are anevolutionary enigma.
- 00:10:23.505 --> 00:10:26.241
- They should not exist.
- 00:10:26.274 --> 00:10:29.044
- And the reason is our shouldersare outside of our ribcage.
- 00:10:29.077 --> 00:10:33.715
- Our shoulder blades areoutside of our ribcage.
- 00:10:33.748 --> 00:10:37.318
- This is the turtle's ribcage.
- 00:10:37.352 --> 00:10:40.188
- If you've ever taken a turtleshell and flipped it over, you
- 00:10:40.221 --> 00:10:42.624
- could see his vertebraefused to the back of his shell.
- 00:10:42.657 --> 00:10:47.595
- So, this is his ribs.
- 00:10:47.629 --> 00:10:49.798
- Where are his shoulders?
- 00:10:49.831 --> 00:10:51.666
- Inside his ribcage.
- 00:10:51.700 --> 00:10:53.535
- So, somehow an animal thatbreathes like we do in and out,
- 00:10:53.568 --> 00:10:57.672
- you have his diaphragm, we havea bellows-like lung, somehow
- 00:10:57.706 --> 00:11:01.176
- this structure migrated into theribcage and the animal's able
- 00:11:01.209 --> 00:11:07.816
- to breathe the entire time,or else they'd be dead
- 00:11:07.849 --> 00:11:10.785
- and we wouldn't have them today.
- 00:11:10.819 --> 00:11:12.721
- This evolutionary transitionfrom a shoulder outside of a

- And you know whatit reminds me of?
- 00:19:30.731 --> 00:19:32.533
- No matter what place you arein life and no matter
- 00:19:32.566 --> 00:19:35.903
- how dark it seems,God is with you.
- 00:19:35.936 --> 00:19:39.473

- and the worst situations.
- 00:19:41.642 --> 00:19:44.178
- When you start to realize howamazing God is and his creative
- 00:19:44.211 --> 00:19:47.314
- genius and just the beautythat surrounds us, you start to
- 00:19:47.347 --> 00:19:51.585
- realize that if this God whocould speak all of this into
- 00:19:51.618 --> 00:19:55.022
- existence like that lovesme, I'm going to be okay.
- 00:19:55.055 --> 00:20:00.294
- You know, God does love you.
- 00:20:00.327 --> 00:20:02.096
- God so loved the world, hegave his only begotten Son,
- 00:20:02.129 --> 00:20:05.466
- that whosoever believeth in himshould not perish,
- 00:20:05.499 --> 00:20:09.203
- but have everlasting life.
- 00:20:09.236 --> 00:20:11.705
- Every time I hear those wordsof John 3:16, I'm amazed again
- 00:20:11.738 --> 00:20:16.343
- at how God could possiblylove me 'cause I'm a sinner.
- 00:20:16.376 --> 00:20:20.180
- And I don't deserve God'slove, but you know what?
- 00:20:20.214 --> 00:20:23.550
- That's what grace is.
