DR BEN CARSON - PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE SPEAKS ON CREATION OR EVOLUTION Neurosurgeon and Presidential candidate Ben Carson discussed his rejection of the theory of evolution, arguing that the science of evolution is a sign of humankind’s arrogance and belief “that they are so smart that if they can’t explain how God did something, then it didn’t happen, which of course means that they’re God. You don’t need a God if you consider yourself capable of explaining everything.” 0:04 thank you very much Its a 0:05 real pleasure to be here have really enjoyed everything I 0:10 I wish that reactive whereas message could be on television for everybody to 0:16 see 0:16 and said very very impressive but I said to enter my 0:21 talk this evening frontal lobes 0:25 now you know if you if you look at all the animals 0:30 know that we're created the ones with the biggest frontal lobes 0:37 are us human beings everybody else has the same 0:41 relatively small from all those why are so big 0:44 because that's the part of the brain that allows you to engage 0:50 in rational thought process we're the only creatures who have the ability to 0:55 extract information from the past 0:58 and a present projected into a plan 1:02 and thereby fashion 1:05 your own future and that's because we were made 1:08 in the image got now you know this whole creation evolution 1:14 controversy has been raging on 1:18 really since the beginning because 1:22 what is savings plan to get rid of God 1:27 to disparage gonna to miss characterize gone 1:31 and what his creation 1:34 creation is gone signature 1:37 there he created the world in that he created us 1:41 you know us this pay past spring 1:46 I was involved in a little bit a controversy it when the university's 1:49 Emory University in Atlanta Georgia I was 1:53 a invited to be the commencement speaker 1:56 and Tom summitted biology professor is 2:00 heard that I was coming and they became quite agitated 2:05 very upset I started the petition 2:09 did you know that this man believes in creation 2:13 how can someone who believes in creation give a commencement address at the 2:17 University 2:18 they thought that was just rediculous 2:21 interestingly enough as soon as you might know 2:25 Emory University has its roots as a Methodist University 2:29 had any rate a you know they started a petition 2:33 500 people signed a petition and then a competition was started 2:38 and over 2200 people sign at 2:41 Pratt you know the interesting thing yes 2:45 they said that II 2:48 said that people who believe in evolution 2:52 would unethical and that's not what I said at all 2:58 what I said is that people who believe in God 3:02 and who believe in the Bible can very easily explain from where 3:08 they deride their ethical for last race 3:12 people who believe in survival of the fittest might have a more difficult time 3:16 doing that 3:17 because when you leavin survive other fitness 3:20 and you and another person are the only person there 3:25 and you're hungry and you kill a minivan 3:29 well you know the survival of the fittest says not necessarily the wrong 3:32 thing to do it 3:33 and if you believe it 3:36 as we do and we get there ethical considerations from God 3:41 that would not even be a consideration so 3:45 there is a tendency sometimes for the politically-correct crowd 3:50 to reinterpret things 3:54 according to their own for last place 3:58 you know political correctness and evolution is part of scientific 4:03 political correctness 4:05 you're not supposed to believe in God you know i member wanted a very 4:10 interesting times ahead as I was invited to be the keynote speaker 4:14 for the I'll national 4:18 Society of science teachers 50,000 science teaches at the Chelsea 4:23 Convention Center 4:25 and I decided to talk about evolution and creation 4:29 what you would be amazed at how many 4:33 science teachers actually believe in creation I 4:36 many of them actually I got so many letters and 4:40 emails who said you know that's what I believe to but 4:44 I'm just afraid to say it and you know 4:48 the politically-correct crowd in academia 4:51 is extremely domineering and intolerant 4:55 anybody who believes anything different than they did 4:59 and if you're a young assistant professor at a 5:03 major university you try to be promoted n you indicated you believe in creation 5:07 you're in big trouble 5:08 there's a very strong chance that you will not be 5:12 promoted and infect you may well be driven out 5:16 at the University extraordinarily in time 5:19 and you know that's one of the things about PC and it's on the reasons that I 5:23 i 5:24 really gets political correctness so much 5:27 you know people just listen true things that they can be critical and I remember 5:33 once as talking to her 5:35 an audience about the difference between a human brain in a dog's brain 5:38 and man got offended he said you can talk about docs like a 5:42 yeah people just you know that they grab lunch at things and 5:46 you know they start saying I'll as talking to a group about 5:50 how the fashion and she's got a young lady said that this must be so skinny 5:54 the Atlantic Street from a concentration camps and a Jewish man 5:59 had offended he said you can't mention concentration camps it's way too 6:03 sensitive 6:04 who'd be is if I said something to you about slavery 6:07 and I said you could talk mostly dry one don't bother me 6:10 but you know cell sheeple just seize upon things 6:15 and then they can't hear anything else and you know they they try to create a 6:19 big deal happen 6:21 ruinous for PC doesn't if you really stop and think about 6:24 Feilding at this nation many people came here 6:28 from other parts of the world because they were trying to escape from people 6:32 who told them what they think 6:34 and what they can say and here we come reintroducing it through the back door 6:39 and is every bit as malignant 6:42 as before well I've had an opportunity to 6:46 to be involved in some public had discussions with 6:50 other people I in the scientific arena 6:54 and including the the father of artificial intelligence centre MIT 7:00 before group of students in you know he just couldn't understand how I could 7:05 believe in God 7:06 as a scientist in we had quite an argument 7:10 and to he could not reach through 7:13 any of my I arguments and finally he just said 7:17 your religious bigot and you want to weigh in a 7:20 the resort to calling people names a 7:23 as once in a public debate with Richard Dawkins 7:27 is probably the the world's foremost a yes and Daniel Dennett 7:31 from international versus the II 7:35 and we were having a debate abouts faith 7:39 and science and those two are not one-sided on my side 7:44 was me and I and Francis Collins as the a 7:48 director in the National Institutes of Health who started out his career by the 7:52 way 7:52 as an 80 S and as he learn more and more about the human genome is used as you 7:59 know he is one spirit the human genome project 8:01 he said wait a minute this was no accident you know 8:05 as he looked at this is this occasion and those cuts 8:08 me how many people would look at a computer and look at a computer program 8:14 and say that it's just random is 8:18 just happened and and yet you know you take a program like c plus plus 8:22 and you know a series and 0's and 1's 8:27 can create all kinds sophisticated commands 8:31 to a computer can execute well you know when you look at the genome 8:37 he take a series of for repeating 8:41 nucleic acids which create 8:45 a template it tells you whether you have a man 8:49 or giraffe on algae 8:53 gorgeous ultra and 8:57 what kind wanted those it will be 9:00 and a it is infinitely 9:03 more complex in the C Class first program 9:06 were computed and that's what Francis Collins recognized 9:11 as he was becoming the leading authority in this 9:14 it became absolutely clear to him evolution 9:18 in that sense even if he does believe 9:23 an eighty-five people village 9:25 in he said hand to hand a creator 9:29 and interestingly enough 9:33 then you did and Richard Dawkins they were 9:36 just outrage trances Collins myself believed in God and they said 9:42 you know you can't be a real scientists and I'll even if you believe in God you 9:46 believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster you know they were throwing out all 9:49 these 9:50 disparaging remarks and at the end 9:54 the discussion I said 9:57 you convince me one thing and that is 10:02 I came from God and you came from a monkey 10:05 yeah 10:09 F at west and the audience exploded and that was the end the conversation 10:13 I threat 10:17 you know I also had an opportunity to have a debate publicly with done 10:20 Johansson 10:21 I know the famous their are challenges who discover 10:25 Lucy is an anthropologist I'll 10:29 this so-called missing me church and you know he shows this all over the world 10:34 this little scholar all-weather protruding 10:39 yeah mandible run receding forehead 10:42 and I said you know I'm a neurosurgeon 10:46 and I operate on a lot of people who have you know the forms calls and things 10:52 and you know eventually they die and they get married 10:57 the and years later somebody like you comes along and finds the school and 11:01 said they found a missing link 11:02 yeah didn't appreciate that but 11:07 but I said you know why why is it is 11:10 one other why isn't there a whole colony on them 11:14 how can you dig it this wonderful thing in that extrapolate 11:19 and and that's what those who are creationist tend to do 11:23 make these J can t extrapolations 11:26 without real evidence what's going on 11:31 but I think perhaps the most important evidence 11:35 for the existence of God is what happens in our own lives 11:40 our own personal experience with got there is 11:44 there is nothing in any book already University 11:48 compares with your own personal experience 11:52 you know remember some years ago I was 11:56 I was asked if I would come to South Africa head up the team in an attempt to 11:59 separate type 2 12:01 vertical crap biggest wins siamese twins joined the company hit facing in 12:06 opposite directions 12:07 and that there have been thirteen attempts to separate transact that 12:11 before nine 12:11 which I had been successful so I knew it was going to be. 12:16 a great medical challenge was gonna be you know 12:19 a big social challenge to because the operation was going to be done at the 12:23 Medical University South Africa at my didn't set 12:26 the our major black teaching hospital 12:30 I always a stepchild throughout apartheid and post-apartheid 12:34 peerage this is going to be there a chance to stand shoulder to shoulder 12:37 with Cape Town Johannesburg all the great universities 12:40 and I wasn't ready for that social pressure and I said Lord you have to 12:44 show me something here and as I studied the enemy 12:47 it became clear to me that the take 12:50 comin drainage system that this year was near all centrally 12:55 and a tradition on their surgical indigenous issues decide which 20 give 12:59 the drainage system to 13:00 and then divide them over the course is a number operations divided in time by 13:05 several weeks to several months 13:07 to allow them to develop collateral circulation well I fell 13:11 impressed that we could do it in one operation if we concentrated on the area 13:15 where the vessels were narrowing down because 13:18 other vessels with time you know around those as soon as you took them 13:23 and I'm and when I explain it to the team is it you bastard who everyone to 13:27 at and I remember going to the operating room two days before new years a 98 13:32 XI and over the operating room that bus Joseph in the cabinda 13:36 they were having song service and preserves and I was through my sis we 13:41 bring in a stereo system the play inspirational music 13:44 19 hours into the operation we were 13:47 only three quarters the way finished the part that remain was so complex that but 13:52 this is when courts 13:53 it he's been tangled it looks 13:56 impossible and I thought about the first set of twins 14:01 I was involved in now use 60 units 14:05 line and the second said 14:09 eighty units in blood and as I look at that complex as it does not enough blood 14:15 in South Africa 14:16 to get through this and we stopped the operation 14:19 we went into conference I suggest that maybe we should cover the area who with 14:25 skin 14:25 and then come back and they will have the belt enough collaterals 14:30 that we can now cut through those vessels the doctors from South Africa 14:35 and Zambia sis great idea I know 14:37 work at Johns Hopkins but we don't have the ability to keep partially separated 14:42 twins alive don't doubt now 14:46 I really felt like I had the way to the world on my shows that in a moment 14:50 Prince equipment 14:51 I have my surgical loupes mask ample in a prayer in my lips 14:56 and I said lord as up to you and I went in there and stir 15:01 cutting between those blood vessels that was so then 15:04 you can see the amnesty bubbles coursing through just daring you to make an 15:08 antenna 15:08 and you know it's like China and 15:12 tangle a bowl of spaghetti an 15:16 I to scan is zoned out I don't 15:19 even remember what I was doing to be honest with you but 15:24 all the other surgeons afterward said 15:27 we couldn't believe what you were doing but when I made the final cut 15:33 separated those trends over him 15:36 the stereo system came the Hallelujah Chorus and 15:40 everybody a goose bumps and when we finished an operation after twenty eight 15:48 hours 15:49 when the twins pop his eyes open reached up to the industry q2 15:54 the other one did the same thing by the time we got to the ICU 15:57 within a two days they were extubated 16:01 within two weeks they were calling and today there in a tenth grade 16:05 for the 16:12 and interestingly enough 16:16 the operation require 16:20 three units a plan so 16:24 that's what happens when that takes over 16:28 and see I know that because I was there 16:33 and I saw whose bezels and I said oh my 16:37 there is always a good girl and yet he did 16:41 as the first time twins like to have ever been separated 16:45 and remained in technologically so you know it 16:49 gives that can experience is very hard to find 16:55 the textbook or any other place 16:58 except in your own personalized but we all have experiences like that 17:03 and that's what faith is made up we have to think about those experiences that 17:08 occur in our lives 17:09 you know I remember another time now 17:12 man we had we had built the home that we thought was their final home in Howard 17:18 County 17:18 and then all the farmers around there started selling their property in 17:23 putting all these developments and we said I don't crash we need to move 17:27 cell so we bought a farm 17:31 I am with lots and acreage so that could never happen again 17:35 but the problem was 17:39 we could sell around the house and 17:43 I said Lord I pay my time and 17:47 United all the stuff so how could we can sell this house every time we get a 17:50 contract on it 17:51 and it looked promising and then it works on through for five years 17:58 it stayed on the market for 52 years 18:01 and it was during the time when the housing bubble was gonna houses were 18:05 being bought and sold like crazy the prices were escalating 18:09 I had a very I have a very good friend he's a real estate developer 18:14 and he felt chills they'd all over the the country and he was china 5-piece 18:19 real state for me to invest them 18:21 that would be perfect but that would have been this anytime in that would 18:26 provide a good income 18:27 and he looks three years 18:31 he couldn't find the perfect thing and then another friend told me about 18:35 something call at 1031 exchange 18:38 were if you sell a piece of property in you get excess 18:42 profit from a in you can roll it over into another property within 45 days 18:49 at the time that you sell it then you don't have to pay 18:52 excessive taxes I'm well 18:55 wouldn't you know he found 18:58 the perfect property just after I found out about the 1031 exchange 19:04 and within 45 days how so for more than twice as much as we put on the market 19:09 for before 19:10 so there I was sitting there 19:14 accusing gotta not blessing me when in fact he was a blessing me far beyond 19:19 what I thought 19:20 and you know its is those kinds of personal experiences 19:25 but I think make all the difference in the world 19:28 but why is it that people try so hard to get rid of got 19:35 she did you go back to the very first chapter 19:38 in the Bible and you know I 19:42 I'm not a hard-and-fast person this is earth is only 19:46 six thousand years now 19:48 up but I do believe in the six-day creation an 19:52 because you know it says in the beginning God created had dinner 19:55 and say when creating them except for in the beginning 19:59 so earth could have been here for a long time before he started creating 20:03 things on it but when he did start doing that he made it very specifically clear 20:07 to us 20:08 the evening and the morning with the next day 20:12 because he knew that people come along and try to say that 20:16 I was millions and millions in years and then what else did he say in the very 20:21 first chapter 20:22 each being brought forth 20:26 after its on current because he knew people come along and say you know 20:32 this change into that and this change into that this change that 20:35 so at the very big Kenny other viable 20:39 he puts that to rest and 20:44 you know as was pointed out already tonight 20:48 you know people tried the spiritual I won't say that these things are not true 20:52 these are 20:53 fanciful tales and yet there's abundant evidence 20:58 geological evidence that there was a worldwide slant 21:02 go home to the Andes Mountains and see all those parcels on the topic those 21:06 much 21:06 I think these things when you top to the evolution as the bottom 21:11 they always say the same thing where I'll 21:15 we know understand everything and I just say 21:19 I'm not sure you understand anything 21:22 you know that they they look at all those layers 21:26 and then they find some hassles M one-a 21:29 to the years and they says this far so 21:32 is this many years ol because in this layer 21:37 so that means this fossil site 21:40 a million years I'll and then later on they say 21:45 well this layer is a million years all 21:48 because this far so which is a main is 0 isn't 21:52 you know that's like saying you know 21:55 the sky can be read our book and he said well 21:59 the sky is blue he say why is it will 22:02 because is not read 22:06 well why is it not read because this book in a 22:10 has known as circular reasoning that's how they explain the age of these things 22:14 is very circular reasoning 22:16 and really it it has no real scientific 22:20 yeah validity but 22:23 the real linchpin and evolution is natural selection 22:28 and of course that's a 22:31 term coined by Charles Darwin how many people don't know this but 22:35 Charles Darwin actually started out in a seminary 22:39 to become a man at the clock I he had some experiences with got that 22:47 did go his way like his 22:51 ten-year-old daughter who died of pneumonia despite his Pliage 22:54 but you know he goes off to the Galapagos Islands 22:59 he was a very keen observer I will give him credit 23:03 and he notice some things that you didn't seem to see anyplace else 23:08 he particularly noticed that ventures there who had these 23:11 elongated the peaks he said no 23:15 defenses headaches like this this 23:18 is evidence a evolutionary change 23:22 now what he didn't know is that had been severe droughts in the clap construct 23:27 three years 23:28 the only benches that survived with once it hit 23:31 the peak second break open sea lanes 23:34 extracting nutrition and they were able to breed 23:37 in past century on to the next 23:40 but evolutionists 23:43 say that those changes that you see just like you so with all the dogs 23:48 is definitive proof evolution 23:52 in now I submit 23:56 that changes can occur within a species 24:00 but is that has signed a bill pollution 24:04 or is it a sin have an intelligent creator 24:08 who gave His creatures the ability to adapt to their environment 24:12 so that he would have to start over every 50 years you know that sounds much 24:17 more intelligent 24:18 than anything else and no one has 24:22 ever demonstrated one species 24:25 changing to another species and 24:28 you know this should be if it's true a continual 24:32 evolving so we should be able to find 24:36 intermediate species at any given point in time 24:39 and we should be able to climb how the lineup 24:43 you know darlin said his whole theory 24:46 dependent on the fossil remains 24:50 he said we should be able to line up from a single cell organism 24:55 two-man several miles long and just 24:58 walk right down the fossil trail and see how everything the wrong 25:03 he said the only reason they didn't have the fossils is because they were not 25:07 geologically sophisticated enough 25:09 but that we would be in fifty to a hundred years 25:13 well that was a hundred and fifty years ago 25:16 we still haven't found them where 25:20 are they where are the fossil remains when you ask the abolitionist is not 25:25 that they say 25:28 my a and I don't know where they are 25:31 there somewhere then we just haven't found them yet 25:35 yeah that's a pretty lame excuse to be honest with you 25:39 but you know the interesting thing 25:43 I'll about evolution 25:47 about natural selection is that it claims 25:51 day anything dead isn't 25:55 useful disappears so 25:59 while species is in the process of changing 26:03 it cleans onto those things 26:06 they allow it to dry and those things that are not useful 26:10 disappear so if that's the case 26:15 home why do we have kidneys 26:18 because kidney has many comp arts 26:23 you know the Bangla merrill as Sen 26:27 reno to Bo's and all kindsa 26:30 she'll surfaces all of which 26:34 work together to be able to filter blood 26:38 create your in a complex process 26:42 none those things in love themselves have any purpose 26:46 same thing with your eye you have an iris 26:50 in a pupil on a cornea and 26:53 vitreous you know ret now 26:57 rot cells cone cells all of which are necessary for the islet function 27:04 short ciliary nerves now 27:07 without the other part to the Mart so how to get there 27:11 the the cone cell which is sophisticated enough to sell 27:16 just can't sit around for shemale years waiting for 27:19 are rock hard sell and then they sit around waiting for rent non-network 27:24 you know according to the theory 27:27 it had to go and there was an eyeball overnight 27:32 dislike that because 27:34 wouldn't work in any other way and when your ass the evolution is about that 27:38 they say 27:39 when hmm me honest and 27:42 everything and I say we're 27:46 dont the junction anything because 27:49 because then you go to the brainy I made the human brain 27:55 the most sophisticated organ system 27:58 in the year first billions and billions 28:01 neurons hundreds of billions interconnections 28:05 he remembers every single thing 28:08 you have ever seen every single thing 28:13 you have ever heard can process more than to do 28:16 million bits of information and one sack at 28:20 ami it is 28:23 on believable some people say where you don't you should learn this you should 28:28 learn this because you're 28:29 overload your brain never heard anybody say that no 28:33 a bunch of nonsense and is to you don't your brain 28:38 and this is a conservative estimate could take N 1s 28:44 new fact every sec 28:47 for over 3 28:51 million years before you begin to challenge 28:55 its Cassie soon I'll that anybody tell you that you can alert you break and 29:00 that's our brains and dirty generates the 29:02 can you imagine what they were like before una 29:06 believable because we are made in the image 29:10 have come 29:12 how many people he remembered your birthday 29:15 okay i think is unanimous 29:18 what is your brain have to do for you to respond to that question 29:22 first father-son ways had the lead by this chapter the air into your extra 29:26 alternate is chill down to Tempe membranes that whoever to her first 29:29 which have across the ass causes the military to overrun with the same 29:32 without work force in an election with mechanically distorted the micro Celia 29:36 converting mechanical energy to electrical energy is Trevor Crowe 29:39 the company noted a coconut looks at the bottom it learns on Sep from there to 29:42 the superior olivary nucleus city but only at the presidential level in this 29:46 case to the interclick list and the need to the clinic where crosses the lambing 29:49 radiation to the post your temper lows begin halter dresses the tribute to the 29:53 finals coming out a check to pick is george 29:55 reaching the memory from the media hippocampus certain everybody's back to 29:58 the final is the star to my response to that level 30:00 coming out the corticospinal tract across the entire caption to this report 30:04 bianco 30:04 the setting out to the circle Meditech station into this fire agreement is 30:08 taxing their 30:09 going out to dinner rescue judges dimly in every muscle 30:12 think supervision does and 30:22 and as the simplified version murderer have 30:25 the see if you wanna was Ratzinger's do that but you know 30:29 I but but if you're trying to do that and you 30:34 barely even have to think about it what is your brain capable of 30:40 if you actually put your mind to something 30:44 as someone once said tell me that that 30:47 came from a slime pit with a buncha promiscuous biochemicals give me a break 30:53 you know that makes that really stretches the limits 30:57 worker duty well 31:01 know about the Big Bang clearing I i find it being 31:05 really quite fascinating me have all these highfalutin scientists 31:11 and they're saying that here with this day 31:15 dnt explosion everything came into perfect 31:19 or this is the same sciences 31:22 who go around tiling the second law of thermodynamics 31:26 which is entropy which says that things move to SD 31:30 disorganization so now you have this big explosion 31:35 and everything becomes perfectly organized and 31:39 when you're asking about they said well the we can explain this based on 31:43 probability theory 31:45 because if there is no 31:48 big explosions over a long enough period time 31:51 billions and billions of years 1 a.m. will be the perfect explosion 31:55 an and I say so what you're telling me 31:59 is five below hurricane through a junker 32:03 enough times over billions in basic he is eventually after one knows her case 32:08 to be a 747 32:09 fully loaded and ready to fly with ano 32:14 but I mean is even more ridiculous than that because 32:19 our solar system not to mention the universe 32:24 outside do that 32:25 is extraordinarily well-organized to the point where we can predict seventy years 32:29 away when a comment is coming net 32:33 that typeof organization to just come out with an explosion 32:37 I mean you want to talk about fairy tales that is 32:41 amazing and and then even if you want to use their own scientific theories 32:47 you know you got this mass 32:50 spending and then explodes in physics we have something we call 32:53 a dealer momentum and it is preserved 32:57 so it should be preserved and any orbit 33:00 have anything is affected by gravity around the planet 33:03 which means everything has said traverse in the same 33:07 direction well it doesn't there are many planets 33:11 that have satellites and moons they go in opposite directions 33:14 so that doesn't work with angular momentum 33:18 and they're a holes a series things what about all the debris 33:23 for the billions and billions were explosions that we're not perfect 33:27 where Zac I mean we should embark did 33:30 constantly by all this debris coming down we're not seeing it 33:34 so you know there's there's a lot of things there that really 33:38 require an enormous amount of phase and really what it boils down to 33:44 is where do you want to put your faith in man 33:48 or inkatha which one makes more sense 33:53 and I constantly say you now 33:56 I'm a person that limit change I really don't have enough faith to believe that 34:01 stuff that they say 34:02 and the net is really be on 34:05 belief in terms of the number of coincidences that have to occur to 34:09 number things 34:10 that happened violate even their own principles 34:13 in order for it to work and then 34:17 here's what's also fascinating 34:21 this nation United States of America 34:26 one of the few nations 34:29 in history to claim gone 34:35 in their founding documents 34:38 we talk about in our Declaration of Independence 34:43 certain animal rights given to us by our tree 34:46 eight or every one of our clients 34:50 everyone over bills says in God 34:53 we trust now what you think about something 34:58 this nation has had a profound 35:04 affect on the world before the United States of America came on the scene 35:09 four hundred years two hundred years 35:12 a thousand years three thousand years people did things the same way 35:16 crops ready you put them on a car hook up your muse to commend the town so the 35:20 crotch 35:21 within two hundred years the advent of this nation 35:25 which believed in God men were walking on the moon 35:30 completely revolutionized and change the world because 35:36 a nation was willing 35:39 to acknowledge God now 35:43 as we're persistently making him 35:48 on unpopular 35:51 politically incorrect to the point where 35:55 let me think about it where the Christmas season most diverse 36:00 think twice now before we say Merry Christmas to somebody 36:03 this is we're here we have gone we're trying to push him out 36:08 and look what's happening to our nation ami 36:13 evidence is so clear is clear in our own lives 36:18 is clear in our communities is clear in our nation 36:22 it's clear in our world and the question is 36:27 are we going to use those from a looks 36:30 reason he gave those to us 36:34 is so that we can analyze all this evidence 36:38 which is so clearly placed in front of us 36:42 you know think about the beautiful flowers that we see 36:48 how r flowers is able to recruit is 36:53 pollination house pollination occur 36:58 be's in other creatures 37:01 according to evolution plants came along 37:07 before the peace so 37:11 how to play it reproduces and 10 37:15 animals and what about people and their reproduction 37:20 you know 37:24 it was a wonderful thing that God gave us 37:26 you know men are attracted to women women are attracted to men 37:30 although that's changing in this cool sunny but anyway 37:34 that was the way it was supposed to be okay I 37:39 it was a beautiful thing but going to evolutionary model 37:43 you know we really came from an amoeba 37:47 and amoebas they just like 37:51 split and the news to me those so 37:55 it seems to me like according to evolutionary model 37:58 you do things that are efficient so 38:02 rather than going out and looking for May you which is 38:06 divide in Italy love you it 38:09 and that be pretty horrible in some cases I 38:13 but you know things are supposed to work 38:19 an efficient way so according to the evolutionary model 38:23 we would be less pugilistic 38:26 who'll be much more logical we've been much more creative we will be going 38:32 around 38:32 fighting each other kind of people's heads anymore because that stuff would 38:36 have been 38:37 extinguishing we wouldn't evolved into something much better 38:40 according to the creation model 38:44 in which we have an adversary 38:47 is very easy to explain why people act that way is because they have choice 38:54 and because there is an emissary out there so again these are things 38:59 we're using that logic we're looking at the two different points of view 39:05 how are things done and we 39:09 are the ones who get to make two choice 39:12 I think the most powerful evidence 39:16 is effective we are creative 39:19 share 39:22 we are compassionate in the fact 39:27 we can manifest la where did that come from 39:32 and evolutionary mom why is it 39:37 somebody's drowning for the most part 39:42 you not just on what time you gonna trying to throw them something 39:46 if you can swim you gonna jump in said that 39:49 doesn't work and evolutionary model because evolutionary mouses 39:53 survivability 39:54 she went to say to then just keep walking now some people do that but 39:59 you know most people most people 40:02 they see somebody struggling there's something inside them that says 40:08 helped that makes no sense 40:12 whatsoever in evolutionary model 40:15 so we should be extraordinarily thankful for the example 40:20 it has been given to us for the fair 40:24 that the creator at the universe 40:28 think about that power think about the ex 40:33 a chance the university's is mindboggling whenever I start 40:39 studying you know the cosmos 40:42 in realized how tiny 40:46 an insignificant we r and yep that he was seen his 40:51 only begotten Son to this place 40:55 and of this magnitude Ted 41:00 the individual who created all this was willing to be spat upon 41:06 humiliated and crucified 41:09 torment because he loved us that match 41:13 debt debt 41:16 happen on our hands in that we can manifest 41:21 any doubt whatsoever would be pretty amazing 41:25 but I think we have all the evidence that we need 41:29 that we have a powerful unloving on 41:34 who will do anything for us except for Scout's 41:38 thank you very much 41:57 we have time for a a few questions if you have questions for doctor carson 42:02 um we'd like to entertain a questioner to you 42:05 speaking to the issue of creation does anyone have a question they like to ask 42:11 yes send men 42:12 all 42:20 create 42:32 all brilliance 42:37 really just in case you didn't hear that question that question was 42:40 sometimes it's really hard when we're in school and I remember this being his 42:43 allows the school doctor carson 42:44 we said Inc science class and science from boats one way of thinking 42:49 and yet we hear a presentation like with her tonight and we're completely 42:52 different way of thinking 42:53 what should we believe well first well 42:57 I i think is quite evident for which is seen tonight it takes faith to believe 43:02 in God 43:03 it takes faith to believe an evolution 43:06 I think it takes a lot more faith to believe in evolution 43:10 those leaving got but they both require faith 43:14 and the fact of the matter is they're both religion 43:17 and if we really word truth 43:21 the litmus tests on and we said we can teach religion 43:24 Ensco we win a teacher solution either but the fact of the matter is 43:30 we have to to look at things 43:33 based own what makes sense and you know you look at the geological layers 43:40 it makes perfect sense 43:43 that that was done by worldwide flood you look at the fact that their 43:47 crustaceans 43:48 on the top but the Andes Mountains it makes 43:51 perfectly good sense that there was a flood 43:55 and you know it's really a matter again 43:58 using the frontal lobes analyzing the stuff 44:02 see how it compares what God has said 44:05 what man has says you don't find inconsistencies 44:09 with the way God say that you find a lot of inconsistencies with the way man has 44:12 a 44:13 thank you very much just one other question here 44:17 here 44:22 well 44:28 again interestingly enough this is a relatively 44:33 Martyn science cancer 44:37 before darling came on it wasn't 44:40 in all scientists like a 44:43 Sir Isaac Newton consider one of the most on scientific minds 44:48 ever inventor of calculus so many things 44:51 strong belief in God big 44:54 mission outreach I'm stein 44:58 when you think about genius the over the world would you come up with hindsight 45:02 who believe in God yeah a lot of 45:05 people believe in God but I personally believe 45:09 this theory that darlin came up with 45:14 was something that 45:17 was encourage by the adversary 45:20 and it has become 45:24 what is scientifically politically correct 45:27 amazingly there are significant number of scientists 45:33 who do not believe that but 45:36 they're afraid to say anything and one other things and I'm hoping to do over 45:41 the next 45:42 few years up going to the books coming up on my doctor 45:46 is called the organ species not the Origin of Species 45:51 organ as she sees we're talking about 45:54 so organs of the body and how they completely refute evolution and 45:59 several other things as well so that people who are believers 46:04 will have some something they can grasp onto 46:07 that is done in a way that's not too technical because 46:11 you know when you look at a lot of the day the creation and stuff 46:15 they use technical terms to define 46:19 tecnico situations and you don't know any more than you know when you started 46:23 reading them so you know you have to break it all down so that people can 46:27 have a really good understanding at and I think when there's a lot of people who 46:31 have a good understanding I wish 46:32 and they can put up a decent argument I think will begin to make some progress 46:37 I see a young person with a hand right here 46:41 final question for the evening what's your question 47:03 trap did you hear that question 47:05 you can use a llamar Simon Dyson my see strong all 47:20 so if that the realization were true 47:26 and people had to replicate by self replication and splitting apart 47:31 how would that happen anyway well though the way that would happen 47:35 is through evolving the systems that allow you to split apart 47:40 those systems have not been developed they have not evolved 47:46 which means is not true I 47:50 let's get doctor carson air 48:01 with this 48:02 presentation we bring to a close our celebration creation 48:05 and why do we have a celebration of creation because we believe that there's 48:10 immense value in understanding 48:12 our Creator our prayer for you is that you would 48:16 develop a relationship with your Creator to know your Creator more deeply 48:19 and through that creation and do that relationship fine hope 48:24 for the future and hope that will extend into eternity
