Introduction to the Seminar Noteboolc:

Kent Jo MarlissaEric Kent Andrew

"lt cannot be emphasized toostrongly or too often that thisgreat nation was founded notby religionists but byChristians... not on religionsbut on the Gospel ofjesusChrist."

-Patrick Henry

"lt is impossible to rightlygovern...without Cod and theBible"

-George Washington

This notebook is designed to accompany the seven videotapes of myCreation Seminar series. Though not designed to be read from cover tocover like most books, much interesting reading can be found here. Mostcharts, graphs, and sources to which I refer in rny seminars are included inthis book, as well as an extensive frequently asked question section at theend. New materials are constantly being added to make this notebook a

handyreference tool. Remember, none ofmymaterialis copyrighted. This isby design. For years I have said, "There is a war going on. You don't ration outbullets during war timel" Ifyou can shoor and want to use my "bullets," feelfree to do so. It is my prayer that the materials contained in this notebookwill renew your confidence in the'Word of God and inspire you ro serve rheLord withyour life.

DedicationThis 1998 summer edition of our seminar notebook is dedicated to

the late Carolyn Nelson. Carolyn was my secrerary for six and one-halfyears until her sudden home going in January 1998. When she firstcame to work for me, our entire ministry was run from a 9 x 10 room inour house. I offered Carolyn a part-rime secrerarial job ro help myoverworked wife, not knowing what the Lord had in mind for thefuture. Never would any of us have dreamed this unusual ministrywould grow so fast and impacr so many lives for the Lord. Carolyn lovedpeople and was a great blessing in the offfce answering the phone,sending orders and ordering supplies. Her favorite part of the job wasopening the mail and reading the hundreds of testimony letters tellingof people being saved and Christians being srrengrhened in their faichby finally getting some answers to the creation evolution issue.

'l7ithout the great sacriftce of time and effort put forth by Carolynand the other Godly men and women who have joined the staffsince,this ministry would not be able to function as it does. Her husband Dan,my Operadons Manager, and her four children miss her terribly as wellas the rest of us at CSE. It is great knowing she is with the Savior nowand sees all the saints we only read about. Only eterniry will tell theresults of iives changed and souls saved because of people like Carollmusing their talents for rhe Lord at CSE.

Ifwe can be ofany help as you seek ro serve the Lord or understandthe creation subject piease don't hesitate to call, write or e-mail us hereat CSE. I travel every week but am usually in the office Thursdays andFridays if you need ro speak rvith me personally. God bless you as youstudy His great creation.

"l am much afraid that theschools will prove to be thegreat gates to Hell unless theydiligently labor in explaining theScriptures, engraving them inthe hearts of youth. I advise noone to place his child where thescriptures do not reignparamount. Every institution inwhich men are not increasinglyoccupied with the Word of Cod,must become corrupt."

-Martin Luther

"1. Tiger, an anthropologist atRutgers, contends thatDarwinian science inevitablywill, and should have legal,.political and moralconseq uences... "

-Scientific American,October 1995, p. l8l

Part 4-What is in the Textbooks?

' Public school textbooks are one of the main tools used to

tum students away from Christianity

' Many "proofs" for evolution were disproved years

ago-and are still in the textbooks

C Geologic column uses circular reasoning

O Macroevolution assumed

O Mutations do not improve a species nor create

new ones

O Small does not mean simPleo Parents need to be alert against brainwashing

' Students should look for altemative explanations for

what we observe in natureO Common bone structure in fore limbs

- Common Ancestor?- Common Designer!

' Things parents and students can do:

O Encourage textbook selection committees and

school boards to follow laws requiring textbooks

to be accurateO Remove false & outdated material from

textbooksO Options to take until new books can be

purchased:- Cut out or black out false information- Glue pages together if they have false

information- Place warning stickers in the front of each

book- Give students booklets detailing errors

O Get on textbook selection committee

O Get book publishers to print error'free edition. Do not confront teachers publicly

' Many students allow teachers and ciassmates to watch

this video series

Part S-Evolution, the Foundation forCommunism, Naziism, Socialism,and the New World Order

' Origtn of tlw Species made the world worse. Satan's lie rehashed. Many men based their destructive philosophies on

evolution:O Adolf Hitler

$to,otDr. Hovind's $ 10,000 OfferOffered Since I990

Empirical: relying or basedsolely on experiment and

observation rather than theory.

Webster's New World Dictionary,2nd College Edition

I have a standing offer of $10,000 to anyone who can give anyempirical evidence (scientific proof) for evolution.* My $ 10,000 offerdemonstrates that the hypothesis of evolution is nothing pore than a

religiousbelief, *^ 9

Observed phenomena:

Most thlnkingpeopiewillagree fthat:

.1 A highly ordered uni- \averse exists.

.7 At least one planet in thiscomplex universe contains anamazing variery of life forms.

. 3 Man appears to be the most advancedform oflife on this planet.

* NOTE:When I use the word

evolution, I am not referring tothe minor variations found in allof the various life forms(microevolution). I am referringto the general theory ofevolution which believes thesefour major events took placewithout God:. I Time, space, and mattercame into existence bythemselves..2 Matter created life by itself..3 Early life forms learned toreproduce themselves..4 Major changes occurredbetween these diverse life forms(i.e., fish changed toamphibians, amphibianschanged to reptiles, and reptileschanged to birds or mammals).

Known options:Choices of how the observed phenomena came into being:

. 1 The universewas createdbyGod.

. 2 The universe always existed.

. 3 The universe came into being by itself by purely naturalprocesses (known as evolution) so that no appeal to thesupernatural is needed.

Evolution has been acclaimed as being the only process capable ofcausing the observed phenomena.

Evolution is presented in our public school textbooks as a process that:

. 1 Brought tirne, space, and matter into existence from nothing.

. 2 Organized that matter into the galaxies, stars, and at leastnine planets around the sun, (This process is often referred toas cosmic evolution.)

. 3 Created the life that exists on at least one of those planets

from nonliving matter (chemical evolution).. 4 Caused the living creatures to be capable of and interested in

reproducing themselves.. 5 Caused that first life form to spontaneously diversify into

different forms of living things, such as the plants and animalson the earth today (biological evolution).

'As yet we have not been able

to trace the phylogenetic

history of a single group ofmodern plants from itsbeginning to the present."

-Chester A. Arnold,

Professor of Botany and Curatorof Fossil Plants, University ofMichigan

"ln fact, evolution became in asense a scientific religion;almost all scientists have

accepted it, and many are

prepared to'bend' theirobservations to fit with it."

-H. S. Lipson, FRS, Professor

of Physics, University ofManchester, UK

"The evolutionary trees thatadorn our textbooks have data

only at the tips and nodes oftheir branches; the rest isinference, however reasonable,

not the evidence of fossils."

-Stephen fay Gould,Professor of Geology and

Paleontology, HarvardUniversity

People believein evolution; they do not know that it is true. \7hi1e

beliefs are certainly fine to have, it is not fair to force on the students

in our public school system the teaching ofone behef, at taxpayers'

expense. It is my contention thar evolutionism is a religiousworldview that is not supported by science, Scripture, popular

opinion, or common sense. The exclusive teaching of this dangerous,

mind-altering philosophy in tax-supported schools, parks, museums,

etc., is also a clear violation of the First Amendment.

How to collect the S I 0,000:Prove beyond reasonable doubt that the process of evolution

(option 3 below) is the only possible way the observed phenomena

could have come into existence. Only empiricai evidence is accept-

abie. Persons wishing to collect the $10,000 maysubmittheir evidence in writing or schedule time for a publicpresentation. Acommnl:. "1.:r,"..0f\, t fu/ fscientists will provide peer review\)of the evidence offered and, to thebest of their abiliry will be fair andhonest in their evaluation andjudgment as to the validity of theevidence presented.

If you are convinced that evolution is an indisputable fact, may

I suggest that you offer $10,000 for any empincal or historical evidence

against the general theory of evolution. This might include the

following:

. 1 The earth is not billions of years old (thus destroying thepossibility of evolutionhaving happened as it is being taught).

. 2 No animal has ever been observed changing into any funda.mentally different kind of animal.

.3 No one has ever observed life spontaneously arising fromnonlivingmatter.

. 4 Mattercannotmake itselfoutofnothing.

My suggestion:Proponents of the theoryof evolutionwould dowell to admit that

they belieue in evolution, but they do not knou that it happened the

way they teach. They should call evolution their "faith'or "religion,"and stop including it in books of science. Give up faith in the sillyreligion of evolutionism, and trust the God of the Bible (who is the

Creator of this universe and will be your Judge one day soon) toforgiveyou and to saveyou from the coming judgmentonman's sin.

Universe Not "Billions of Years Old"

Facts & ProofScience

From

"Evolution is a fairy tale forgrownups. This theory has

helped nothing in the progress

of science. lt is useless.'l

-Professor Louis Bounoure,

Former President, BiologicalSociety of Strasbourg, Directorof the Strasbourg ZoologicalMuseum, France

The general theory of evolution is based on several faulty assump-

tions. (Note: It is important to understand by this statement that we

are not disputing simple variations that some call "microevolution,"whose micro-changes are often observed but never lead to a funda-mentally different kind of plant or animal.) The following assump-

tions of evolutionary theory are easy to prove false:

. 1 the universe is billions ofyears old,

. Z lifespontaneously arose from nonliving minerals,

. 3 mutations create or improve a species,

. 4 natural selection has creative power.

In this section we will deal with the first of these assumptions. Theothers will be dealt with elsewhere. I{, in fact, it could be dernon,strated that the universe is not billions of years old, all other argu,ments about evolutionbecome meaningless and unnecessary.

In children s fairy tales, we are told

frog * magic spell (usually a kiss) = prince

In modern "science" textbooks we are told

frog*time=prince

The same basic fairy tale is being promoted in textbooks today, butthe new magic potion cited is time. \Uhen the theory of evolution is

discussed, time is the panacea for all the thousands of problems thatarise.

In nearly ali discussions and debates about evolution that I have

held at universities and colleges, I ask the evolutionists how certainthings could have evolved by chance. Their answer is nearly always

"Given enough time..." Time is the evolutionists'god. Time is able toaccomplish anything the evolutionists can propose. Time can easily

turn a frog into a prince. Time can create matter from nothing and lifefrom matter. According to evolutionists, time can create order fromchaos.

But let's remove time from the above equation. There would be

the following three results:

. 1 Evolutionbecomesobviouslyimpossible.

. 2 Evolutionists will scream like a baby whose pacifier has beenpulled out because they know that if time is removed, theirreligion (evolution is religion, not science) is silly.

.3 Creation becomes the only reasonable alternative explana-tion for the existence of this complex universe.

f ust One Proof of aYoung Earth Settlesthe Case AgainstEvolution

"This notion of species as

'natural kinds' fits splendidlywith creationist tenets of a pre-

Darwinian age. Louis Agassiz

even argued that species are

God's individual thoughts, made

incarnate so that we mightperceive both his majesty and

His message. Species, Agassiz

wrote, are 'instituted bY the

Divine lntelligence as thecategories of his mode ofthinking.' But how could a

division of the organic worldinto discrete entities be justified

by an evolutionary theory thatproclaimed ceaseless change as

the fundamental fact of nature?"

-stephen Jay Gould,Professor of Ceology and

Paleontology, Harvard

University

Let's imagine we are exploring an old gold mine, and we find a

Casio Databankwatch halfburied in the mud on the floor of rhe mine.Suppose also that the correcr time and date are displayed on thewatch and it is still running smoothly. Then imagine that I tell you thewatch has been there for over one thousand years.

"That's impossible!" you say. "That watch could not have beenthere for a thousand years, and I can prove it! "

"How can you prove I'm wrong?" I say.

"'Well, for one thing, this mine was just dug 150 years ago," yousay.

"Okay,' I admit, "you're right about the thousand years being toomuch, but the watch has been here for 1 50 years ar least ! "

"No!" you say. "Casio didnt make the Databank watch untiltwelve years ago."

'All right," I say. "The watch was dropped here twelve years ago

then.""lmpossible!" you say. "The batteries only last five years on that

watch, and it's still running. That proves it has been here less than fiveyears."

\7hi1e we still can't prove exactly when the watch was left there,you have logically limited the date to five years at the most. You haveeffectively proven my initial statement about 1000 years wrong. Thelarger numbers prove nothing in this debate. Even if I were to carbondate the mud or the plastic in the watch to rry to prove that it is

thousands of years old, my data would be meaningless. The same logiccan be applied to finding the age of the earth. If several factors limit theage of the earth to a few thousand years, the earth cannot be older thana few thousand years! Even ifa few indicarors seem to show a greater

age for the earth, it takes only ONE fact to prove the earth is young.

The Bible teaches that: God created the universe approximately6000 years ago, ex nihilo (out of nothing) in six literal, rwenty-fourhour days. Then, approximately 4400 years ago, the earth wasdestroyed by a worldwide Flood. This devastating year-long Floodwas responsible for the sediment layers being deposited (the waterwas going and returning, Gen. B:3.5), As the mountains rose and theoceans sank in after the Fiood (Psalm L04:5.8, Gen. 8:1), the watersrushed off the rising mountains into the new ocean basins. This rapid.erosion through still.soft, unprotected sediments formed thetopography we still see today, in places like the Grand Canyon. Theuniformitarian assumption-that today's slow erosion rates that takeplace through solid rock are the same as has always been-is faulrylogic, and ignores catastrophes like the Flood. (2 Pet.3:3-8 says thatthe scoffers are "willingly ignorant" of the Flood.)

Listed below are some of the factors from various branches ofscience that limit the age of the universe (including earth) to withinthe last few thousand years. Though it cannot be scientifically provenexactly when the universe was created, its age can be shown to not bebillions ofyears old. Each of the following evidences of a young earth is

described in great detail in the books referred to in the side column.Source number and page number are given for the followingstatements:

Evidence from Space

I The shrinking sun limits the earth.sun relationship to less than"billions of years." The sun is losing both mass and diameter.Changing the mass would upset the fine gravitational balancethat keeps the earth at just the right distance for life to survive.(1, p. 169; 2, p. 30 4 t pp. 56-63 ; 5, p. 26; 6, p. 43; 7)

2 the Yz inch layer of cosmic dust on the moon indicates themoon has not been accumulating dust for billions of years. (2,p.26;3, p. ZZ; 4, p, 15; 6, p. 35;7;9, p.25) +Insufficient

evidence to be positive3 Th. existence of short-period comets indicates the universe is

less than billions ofyears old. (2, p. 31; 3, p. 27 ; 4, p. 35; 6, p.

37)

4 Fossil meteorites are very rare in layers other than the toplayers of the earth. This indicates that the layers were notexposed for millions of years as is currently being taught inschool textbooks. (4, p. 26)

5 the moon is receding a few inches each year. Billions of years

ago the moon would have been so close that the tides wouldhave been much higher, eroding away the continents. (3, p.

25;6,p.43;7)6 The moon contains considerable quantitie s of tJ-236 and Th-

230, both short-lived isotopes that would have been long goneif the moon were billions of years old. (8, p.177; see also 4, p.

51, for information on rock "flow")T fh" existence of great quantities of space dust, which by the

Pointing-Robertson effect would have been vacuumed out ofour solar system in a few thousand years, indicates the solarsystem is young. (3, p. 29 ; 6, p.44)

8 At the rate many star clusters are expanding, they could nothave been traveling for billions ofyears. (3, p. 29;4, pp.30 and59 6,p.44)

9 Saturn's rings are still unstable, indicating they are not billionsofyearsold. (4, p.45)

I O Jupiter and Saturn are cooling off rather rapidly. They are

losing heat twice as fast as they gain it from the sun. Theycannot be billions of years old. (5, p.76;4, p.43; Jupiter'smoon, Io, is losing matter to Jupiter. It cannot be billions ofyears old. (4,p.3)

"The Big Bang is presumed tohave produced just hydrogen

and helium, only 2 af the 92

elements of the earth's crust."

-Dr. Robert Y Gentry,Research Physicist

"l myself am convinced thatthe theory of evolution,especially the extent to whichit's been applied, will be one ofthe great iokes in the historybooks of the future. Posteritywill marvel that so flimsy and

dubious an hypothesis could be

accepted with the incrediblecredulity that it has."

-Malcolm Muggeridge,

journalist and philosopher,Pascal Lectures, University ofWaterloo, Ontario, Canada

Among other factors to consider is that ail the ancient asffono.mers from 2000 years ago recorded that Sirius was a red star-today itis a white dwarf star. Obviously this view needs to be restudied, sincetoday's textbooks in astronomy state that one hundred thousand yearsare required for a star to "evolve" from a red giant to a white dwarf

Evidence from Earth

I I ffre decaying magnetic field limits earth's age to less thanbillions. (1, p. 157 ; 2, p, 27 ; 3, p. 20; 5, p, 23; 6, p. 42; 9, p. 25 ;

10, p.38)I 2 ffr" volume of lava on earth divided by its rate of efflux gives a

for the delta.) (3, p. 73 ; 6, p. 38; 7)20 The slowing spin of the earth limits its age to less than the

"billions of years" called for by the theory of evolution. (3, p.

Evidence from Biology

26 tnecurrent population of earth (5.5 billion souls) could easilybe generated from eight people (survivors of the Flood) in less

than 4000 years. (1, p. 167 ; 3, p. 27 ; 6, p. 4l; 7)

28 th. oldest living tree in the world is about 4300 years old. (6,

P'40;7)

Another faccor to consider: The genetic load in man is increasing.Geneticiscs have cataloged nearly 1300 genetic disorders in the humanrace. It is certainly reasonable to believe that the human race was

created perfect from the hand of the Creator but has been goingdownhill as a result of our disobedience to the laws established by theCreator. The Bible teaches that we live in a sin-cursed world as a resultofAdam's sin.

Evidence from History29 fn. oldest known historical records are less than 6000 years

old. (1, p. 160)30 Many ancient cultures have stories of an original creation in

the recent past and a worldwide Flood. Nearly 300 of theseFlood legends are now known.

3 I Biblical dates add up to about 6000 years.

The foliowing Bible verses tell when "the beginning" was;

. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Gen.

1: 1)

Moses because of the hardness of your hearts permitted you toput away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. (Mt.19:B)

But from the beginning of the crearion God made them maleandfemale. (Mk. i0:6)In the beginning was the'Word and the \ford was with Godand the \7ord was God. (Jn. 1: 1)

' He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinnethfrom the beginning. (1 Jn. 3:8)

' Ye are of your father the devil.... He was a murderer from thebeginning. (Jn.8:44)

' That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from thefoundation of the world, may be required of rhis generation;

' And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation oftheearth. (Heb. 1:10)

' For in six days the Lord made heaven and the earth, the sea,

and all thatin them is. (Ex. 20: 1 1). Since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were

from the beginning of the creation. (}Per.,3:4). The works were finished from the foundation of the world.

For God did rest the seventh day from all his works. (Heb. 4:3'4)

' For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from thebeginning of the creation which God ueated to this time.(Mk.13:19)

' Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been toldyou from the beginning? Have ye not understood from thefoundations of the earth? (Is. 40:21)

' For the invisible things of him from the creation of the worldare clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made.(Ro.1:20)

Those who believe the earth is billions ofyears old will rypically tryto discredit one or two of these evidences and then mistakenly thinkthat they have successfully proven the entire list wrong. This is notlogical, of course. Each evidence stands independently: it only takes

one to prove the earth is young. The burden of proof is on the evolu'tionists if they expect all taxpayers to fund the teaching of theirreligion in the school system. Many who believe in evolution are great

at "straining at a gnat, and swallowing a camel" (Ml23:24),Evolutionists love to assume uniformitarian processes' Many of

the preceding evidences follow the same logic evolutionists use all thetime in dealing with carbon dating, strata formation, genetic drift, etc.

It is interesting to read the ramblings of nay-sayers like Scott,Matson, Babinski, etc. and see how many times they use words like: we

believe, perhaps, could have, there is some reason to believe, etc.

Evolutionists may need billions of years to make people believe a rockcan turninto a rocket scientist, but they just aren't available.

Questions for EvolutionistsThe test of any theory is whether or not it provides answers to basic

questions? Some well.meaning but misguided people think evolution isa reasonable theory to explain man's questions about the universe.Evolution is not a good theory-it is just a pagan religion masqueradingas science.

After you answer the questions from the previous page, please

look carefully atyour answers and thoughtfullyconsider the followingquestions.

. 1 Are you sure your answers are reasonable, right, and scientifi-cally provable, or do you just believe that it may have hap.pened the way you have answered? (Do these answers reflectyour religion or your science 7)

. 2 Doyour answers show more or less faith than the person whosays, "God musthave designed it"?

'3 Is it possible that an unseen Creator designed this universel IfGod is excluded at the beginning of the discussion by yourdefinition of science, how could it be shown that He didcreate the universe if He did?

dents as fact?.5 \X/har is the end result of a belief in evolution (lifestyle,

society, attitude about others, eternal destiny, etc.) ?

' 6 Do people accept evolution because of the following factors ?

a. It is all they have been taught,b. They like the freedom from God (no moral absolutes, etc.).

c. They are bound to support the theory for fear of losingtheir job or status or grade point average.

d. They are too proud to admit they are wrong.e. Evolution is the only philosophy that can be used to

justifi' their Political agenda'

' 7 Should we continue to use outdated, disproved, questionable,

or inconclusive evidences to support the theory of evolutionbecause we don't have a suitable substitute (Piltdown man,

recapitulation, archaeopteryx, Lucy, Java man, Neanderthalman, horse evolution, vestigial organs, etc.) ?

' 8 Should parents be allowed to require that evolution not be

' 10 Why are many evolutionists afraid of the idea of creationismbeing presented in public schools? If we are not supposed toteach religion in schools, then why not get evolution out ofthe textbooks? It is just a religious worldview.

Possum, Redwood Tree, and

Kidney Bean: "Our Ancestors"

A Spoof on Evolution Theory

The theory of evolution teaches that living things are

becoming more complex as time progresses. Because the

chromosomes in living matter are one of the most

complex bits of matter in the known universe, itwould seem logical to assume that organisms with

the least number of chromosomes were

the first ones to evolve and those with the

most chromosomes are the end result ofmillions of years of evolution experi-

menting to increase comPlexitY inliving organisms. From the chart, it is

"obvious" that we all started off as

penicillium with only 2 chromo'somes, and that we slowly evolved

a into fruitflies. After many "millionsof years" we turned into tomatoes

(or house flies) and so on, until we reached the human stage with 46

chromosomes. One of our ancestors must have been one of the

identical riplets-opossums, redwood trees, and kidney beans-with22 chromosomes each.

If we are allowed to "continue evolving"we may someday be tobacco plants andmaybe we may evenbecome carp with 100,

or maybe even the ultimate life form, afern with 480 chromosomesl Don't youbelieve itl God made this world and alllife forms, as recorded in the Bible.

About the Great Floodand Noah's Ark

"The battle for humankind'sfuture must be waged and wonin the public school classroomby teachers who correctlypercieve their role as theproselytizers of a new faith: Areligion of humanity...utilizing a

classroom instead of a pulpit tocarry humanist values intowherever they teach.... Theclassroom must and willbecome an arena of conflictbetween the old and the.new-the rotting corpse ofChristianity, together with itsadjacent evils and misery, andthe new faith of humanism...."

-John J. Dunphy, Prize-winning Essay, The Humanist,

JanlFeb I 983

Points to Ponder2 Pet. 3:3-8 tells us thatpeopie who scoff at the Bible are "willingly

ignorant" of the Creation and the Flood. In order to understandscience and the Bible, we must not be ignorant of those two greatevents in Earth-s history.

. 1 Over 250 Flood legends from all parts of the world have beenfound. Mosthave similarities to the Genesis story.

. 2 Noah's ark was built only to float, not to sail anywhere, Manyark scholars believe that the ark was a "barge" shape, not apointed "boat" shape, This would greatly increase the cargocapacity.

. 3 Even usingthe small l8-inchcubit (myheightis 6-ft. f -in. andhave a Zl-in. cubit) the ark rvas large enough to hold all rherequired animals, people, and food with room to spare.

. 4 The length-ro-width ratio of 6 to 1 is what shipbuilders todayoften use. This is the best ratio for stability in stormy weather.(God thinks of everything! )

. 5 The ark may have had a "moon-pool" in the center. The largerships would have a hole in the center of the bottom of the boatwith walls extending up into the ship. There are severalreasons for this feature:

. a It allowed water to go up into the hole as the ship crestedwaves. This would be needed to relieve strain on longerships.

.b The rising and lowering water acted as a piston to pumpfresh air in and out of the ship. This would prevent thebuildup of dangerous gasses from all the animals onboard.

.c The hole was a great place to dump garbage into theocean without going outside.

. 6 The ark may have had large drogue (anchor) stones

suspended over the sides to keep it more stable in roughweather. Many of these stones have been found in the regionwhere the arklanded.

. 7 Noah lived 950 years! Many Bible scholars believe the pre-Flood people were much larger than modern man. Skeletonsover 11 feet tall have been found! If Noah were taller, his cubit(elbow to fingertip) would have been much larger also. Thiswould make the ark larger by the same ratio.

. 8 God told Noah to bring two of each kind (seven of some), notof each species or variery. Noah had only two of the dog kindwhich would include the woives, coyotes, foxes, mutts, etc.The "kind" grouping is probably closer to our modern familydivision in taxonomy, and wouid greatly reduce the number ofanimals on the ark. Animals have diversified into manyvarieties in the last 4400 years since the Flood, This

Mutations

. Humans are now subject toover 3500 mutational disorders. They are 1000 times moreharmful than helpful. They don't create; theycorrupt. They indicate creation(changes in genes that akeadyexist). No one has ever observedmutations causing anythingthat could remotely resembleproof that any kind of plant oranimal can or did change toanother kind.

diversification is not anything similar to great claims that theevolutionists teach. (Thev teach that "kelp can turn intoKent," given enough timeI)

. 9 Noah did not have to get the animals. God brought them tohim (Gen. 6:20, "shall come to thee").

. 10 Only land-dwelling, air-breathing animals had to be includedon the ark (Cen. 7:15, "in which is the breath of life").

' 11 Many animals sleep, hibernate, or become very inactiveduringbad weather.

. 12 Allanimals (and people) were vegetarians before and duringthe Flood according to Gen. 1:20-30 with Gen. 9:3.

. 13 The pre-Fiood people were probably much smarter and moreadvanced than people today. The longer lifespans, Adam's

direct contact with God, and the fact that they could glean

the wisdom of many generations that were still alive wouldgreatly expand their knowledge base.

' 14 The Bible says that the highest mountains were covered by 15

cubits of water. This is half the height of the ark. The ark was

safe from scraping bottom at all times.. 15 The large mountains, as we have them today, did not exist

until after the Flood when "the mountains arose and thevalleys sankdown" (Ps. 104:5-9, Gen. B:3-8).

' 16 There is enough water in the oceans right now to cover the

earth 8,000 feet deep if the surface of the earth were smooth.

' 17 Many claim to have seen the ark in recent times in the area inwhich the Bible says it landed, There are two primary schools

of thought about the actual site of the ark (see my Creation

Seminar Part 2 video for more on this). Much energy and timehas been expended to prove both views. Some believe the ark

is on Mt. Ararat, covered by snow (CBS showed a one'hourspecial in 1993 about this site) . The other group believes theuik ir ,.u"ttteen miles south of Mt. Ararat in a valley called"the valley of eight" (8 souls on the ark). The Bible says theark landed in the "mountains" of Ararat, not necessarily onthe mountain itself.

. 18 The continents were not separated untii i00-300 years after

the Flood (Gen. 1025). The people and animals had time tomigrate anywhere on earthby then.

' 19 The top 3,000 feet of Mt. Everest (from 26,000'29,000 feet) is

made up of sedimentary rock packed with seashells and otherocean-dweliing animals.

. 20 Sedimentary rock is found all over the world. Sedimentaryrock is formed inwater.

. 21 Petrified clams in the closed position (found all over theworld) testi4/ to their rapid burial while they were still alive'

' 22 Bent rock layers, fossil graveyards, and poly'strata fossils are

best explainedby a Flood.. 23 People choose to not believe in the Flood because it speaks of

the judgment of God on sin (2 Pet. 3:3'8).

Two atheists argued(on universitysod)

About the great question,"ls there really a Cod?"

Said one to the other(and quite fervently),

"There can't be a Cod orelsewe could see.

So take that old Bible andGod off the list.

If I cannot see Him,He must not exist.

Be quiet and listen,and then you will know,

That Cod is not real-how dare they say so!

A crazy man told meGod lives up in Heaven

I used to believe thatwhen lwas justseven.

But now that I'm olderand wiser, you see,

I willnot believe it,you can't prove it to me.

I cannot sense God withsight, taste, or smell.

I do not believe inHeaven or Hell!

I've never heard Codor felt him at all;

If He's really up there,lwish He would call."

I said, "Listen fellows,you're spiritually blind.

You've only got fiveehtiances into your mind

To deny His existenceis really absurd.

Thes. 3:13). "Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and

worse" (2 Tim.3:13). "The battle is the Lord's" (1 Sam'

17.47). Our job is to be faithful until the Lord takes us out of

this world. When the events of this world start to get you

discouraged, read Psalm 2. The Devil may have his plans, but

God in Heaven will laugh! Though I have worked for several

years to get the textbooks changed in my home town, ali that Ihave done so far is to keep the subject before the people. Ihave had no visible effect on the textbooks. It is our job to do

right; God will take it from there.

Become Informed.

Often people are motivated to do something, but they don't have the

knowledge of the subject to be effective. Many good books have been

written to help people learn the truth about cleation and evolution' Alist of some of these books is included in the annotated bibliography of

this notebook. Also important is to become informed about the "New

\forld Order" and the pelsecution that will come to Christians in

America unless the Lord returns soon.

science are clear; the entire universe was created by an all-wise Creator only a Gw thousand years ago. The originalcreation was perfect and very different than it is today. In theoriginal creation, plants and animals lived longer and grewmuch bigger than they do today (see Gen. l:6-7;5; 6:4, andmy Creation Seminar Videotape I). In my seminars I presentmany scientific evidences that the world is not "millions ofyears old." Most people are excited to learn that dinosaurswere in the Garden of Eden, have always lived with man,were on the ark with Noah, and a few may still be alive todayin some parts of the world ! (See Creation Seminar qsideotape 2 .)

Students often call me for advice on how to handlevarious situations at school where they are being forced tolearn things contrary to their beliefs on creation. Please feelfree to call or write if I can be of any help.

Please understand, when I talk about evolution I am notreGrring to simple variations that occur in any species. Dogsproduce a variety of puppies, but never will dogs producehamster or pine tree offspring! Creationists do nor argue thatalldogs, wolves, and foxes may have had a common ancesrox,nor do they argue that natural selection occurs. These wouldboth be true whether plants and animals were created orevolved. However, real evolution, as presented in the text.books, teaches that dogs share a common ancestor with pinetrees! While anyone is certainly welcome to believe what hewants to believe, no intelligent person can say evolution is

real science, because evolution is not observable, testable, ordemonstrable. My argument is not with science, but withevolution being improperly incorporated into science whereit has no place.

Influence your Area.

Everyone has a circle of people they can influence. At activities suchas birthday parties, neighborhood Bible classes, Sunday school classparties, etc., you can show creation videos, have a creation speaker, orplaygames that teach the truth aboutdinosaurs and creation. You canalso help private or home schools with your rime, energy, and money.

I Use the media (secular or Christian). A grear way ro reachpeople with the truth is to have your local radio or TV starioncontact me for an interview or call.in talk show on creation,evolution, dinosaurs, or the teaching in public schools.Secular stations are often glad to get a controversial guestsuch as I. I do radio interviews by phone from my house.

Sadly, some people supportevolutionism for social'politicalreasons.

Letters to the EditorThe following pages contain most of the letters to the editor that I

have written to the Pensacola News lournal. These letters havegenerated many responses (mostly good). The Letters to the Editorsection in most local newspapers is a great way to get the creationmessage out. Feel free to use these facts and arguments in your locaipaper.

Why support evolution?One of the things that has amazed me in my ZZ-year study of the

creation-evolution controversy is the motivation of the people whosupport evolution. What would motivate an otherwise intelligentperson to support the illogical idea that this extremely complex,orderly universe made itself out of nothing for no apparent reason?

Here are four motives I have seen:

1. Some believe or support this "fairy tale for adults" because theyhave been taught it all their lives. These people have never seriousiystudied all sides of the controversy. They have been successfullybrainwashed by the intense evolutionary propaganda of the last 100years. As Hitler said, "lf you tell a lie long enough, and loud enough,and often enough, the people will believe it."

2, Sadly, some people support evolutionism for social-politicalreasons. These people (like Kari Marx, Stalin, Hitler, and a host ofothers)understand that the teaching of evolutionism is foundationalto their socialist cause. They know that it plays a vital role in the greatstruggle for the elite to enslave the masses under a new world order.

3. Then there are those who give lip service to evolution forfinancial reasons. Obtaining or maintaining a teaching position in apublic school or university is very difficult if you are openly critical ofthe "sacred cow" of evoiucion or ifyou refuse to help "spread the faith"that is masquerading as legitimate science in textbooks.

4. Many of the proponents of evolution have a spiritual reason.

They would readily accept any theory that would exclude God, moralabsolutes, sin, and judgrnent. To many, this is the most appealing

aspect of evolution.\We could all ignore evolution as something stupid if it didn't have

such dangerous effects on our society.Kent Hovind

Mr. Sherman seems to have forgotten that it was the "scientificestablishment" that taught the earth was flat. The Bible had already

Evolutio nary battle continues evolYing

In response to the "challenge" made by L. Buck, I agree with Mr'

Buck on several points. However, he made three errors in reasoning'

Church did indeed "build a wall against knowledge about the earth."

It was this same Catholic Church, not the Bible.believing Christians,

that tortured and killed heretics. Even today, the Catholic Church

supports the pseudo-science of evolutionism.Mr. Buck's second error occurred in his sentence about the

Biblical account of creation fitting evolution to a "T" The Bible

teaches a recent creation that was complete and functioning at the

moment it was created (about 6,000 years ago). Evolution is a tale ofstruggle, suffering, cruelty, misfits, and death. The evolution-

believing atheist cannot find God for the same reason a thief cannot

find a policeman; he does not want His presence.

Finally, anyone who believes in macro-evolution does so in spite

of the scientific and Scriptural evidence. There is no fossil evidence ofpast evolution, no present evidences of present evolution, and no

hope of future evolution.Everything we observe in the universe verifies rhe laws of thermo.

In two separate letters Mr. Sherman had made the statement thatcreation has been disproved on many different grounds. He neverbacks up that statement.

1. The paralax method used to determine star distances is onlyaccurate from 60-100 light years. Any estimates of distances beyondthat are based on the "red shift" which has several interpretations.(I'm not saying the estimates are wrong.)

2. If God can make the stars, He can make the light "in place" also(a "mature" creation). The trees had rings, the rivers hadbeds, theanimals were full grorvn, and the starlight was in place when created.

3, There is also the possibility that light traveled faster originally.Everything else we see in the universe is winding down and wearingout. Because science still doesn't know what light is, this theory is notwithoutmerit.

Get down to the bottom lines I lt3le t

For the past 70 years, Soviet leaders have tried desperately toprove the superioriry of their fataily flawed communistic system ofgovernment by exerting enormous effort to beat us in the space race,the arms race, etc. In their gre atzealto project a winning image to theworld, they have deprived their people of quality products and a

reasonable standard of living.Recent events have shown that their buildings, their economy,

and their military to be of poor quality. The impoverished Sovietcitizens have paid a dear price in the great experiment that has provento the world that Cornmunism doesn't work. in spite of the hype andthe propaganda of the zealots, the bottom line is that Communismjust doesn't work.

Analogically, we have the same type of effort being poured into afutile and defunct ideology here in America. Each year we wastemillions of dollars in rextbook space and class time to extol the mythof evolution. Our students are systematically brainwashed intobelieving that this complex, orderly world made itself out of nothingfor no apparent reason. \We teach them they are just animals and thenwonder why they act like animals.

'We have been steadily losing ground in the scientific world. Eachyear more countries pass us in student achievement scores. Stop theexperiment. Our morally impoverished kids are paying the pricebecause some educators refuse to see that their experiment has failed.\Uhen will we realize that we need to get back to teaching real scienceinstead of dumb fairy taies?

Survival of the fittest elt 4le tThe twisted logic of the "pro-choice" crowd has always worried

me. They try to make it sound as if the abortion issue is simply a matterof choice for the prospective mother. Even the name of their move-ment reflects this attirude.

The warped logic can be seen in their arguments. Here are two oftheir often-repeated lines: '!7hy bring an unwanted baby into theworld? If a woman does not want to be a mother for some reason, sheshould be given free access to safe abortions; after all, it is her body,notyours.

If these are really the reasons, why stop at birth? There are manymothers who are tired of raising a family. They have changed theirmind about wanting children. Let's legalize murder of children up toage 18. This way the mother can be free to have a career and not havethe mental and financial burden of child.raising. After all, it's her life!A11 the unwanted children can be killed more easily after birth thanbefore. Maybe we should not stop at 18; let's include the old, sick, andunwanted. Don't forget the homeless, retarded, or any othernonproductive members of society. After all, don't we have a choice as

taxpayers about our financial interests? Maybe we should also includethe legalized murder of the mentally deficient "Bible-believers."Crazypeople are a danger to society, you know!

This logic quickly follows the path that Hitler followed just 50years ago. Those who support Planned Parenthood and the "pro-choice" position should study the demented philosophy of MargaretSanger, Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Ernst Haeckel, Karl Marx, andCharles Darwin. Maybe they already have studied it? That's what istaught in most of the schools these days, "survival of the fittest."Haven't we learned anything from society?

The imaginary great ages of the bones referred to in the ar[icle arearrived at by using the geologic column. The fossils are dated by thestrata and the strata are dared by the fossils-a clear case of circuiarreasoning! The ficticious geologic column (the "backbone of geol-ogy") can only be found in the textbooks! No, the bones are notmiilions ofyears old, Dinosaurs did not live millions ofyears ago;theyhave always lived rvith and been killed by man.

There is a tremendous body of evidence to show that a fewdinosaurs are still alive in various parts of the world today! Therehave been several recent expeditions into the Congo swamp wheresome apatosaurs still [ive. The Loch Ness monster (probably a

dinosaur) has been reported by 3,000 people now and over 50pictures have been taken of the monster. I have copies of many ofthem and speak on the topic all overAmerica 400-plus times a year.

His Word is true talt 19 t

Who is Jesusl He claimed to be God: the Creator of all things.Jesus also claimed that the creation of Adam and Eve was the begin-ning. (That makes the world less than 10,000 years old.)

Those of you who have been brainwashed by the evolutionarypropaganda that the earth is "billions of years old" need to ask your-selves a serious question: \7ho is Jesus? \When a man makes theclaims He did, he must be one of three thingsr a liar who was trying tomake a name for himself a lunatic who only thought he was theCreator, or he really is the Almighty God He claimed to be.

For the last23 years I have had a close personal relationship withJesus as my Savior. My study of His Word and my 15 years of teachingscience have convinced me that He was who He claimed to be.

I am so confident that His !7ord is true that I will give $10,000 toanyone who will publicly offer any empirical evidence that the woridis more than 10,000 years old, that evolution is true (macro-evoludon, not God.ordained minor variations-within species), orthat all dinosaurs are extinct.

Controlling I lt 4le2\X/hat you believe makes a difference! The great mission of trying

to influence what people believe employs a large segment of thepopulation. Three goups involved in this mind-control are educa-tion, media, and government.

There are two major competing philosophies in the world: oneteaches that man is the ultimate authoriry the other, that God is theultimate authority. The first is secular humanism, the secondtraditional theism. The former worldview espouses evolution,relativism, denial of the supernatural, and deification of man.Tiaditional theism that teaches there are absolute standards indetermining right and wrong. God's attributes of love, mercy, andjustice are the standards.

The public schools are saturated with secular humanism. Theresults are obvious and tragic. Martin Luther saw it coming centuriesago: "l am much afraid that schools will prove to be great gates of Hellunless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures,engraving them in the hearts of youth. I advise no one to place hischild where the Scriptures do not reign paramount. Every insritutionin which men are not increasingly occupied with the \Word of God,must become corrupt."

I would advise every parent who has a child in the secular schoolsystem to spend some time visiting the classrooms and halls where yousend your child. The schools do not need more money, betterteachers, better equipment, etc. They need to return to the moralbase this country was built upon.

Who's absurd?

Timothy L. Spark's illogical tirade against me (10/18/95 Letter tothe Editor) just reached my desk. He was obviously distraught thatthe public schools allowed me to speak to the science classes last

September He called my beliefs "ignorant" and "absurd" because Ihappen to believe in creation instead of his religious worldview ofevolutionism.

As a former high school science teacher I find it ignorant andabsurd to believe our entire complex universe came from a com-pressed dot which in turn had come from nothing! (The textbooks inyour public schools teach exactly thatl)

He said there was "overwhelming" evidence that evolutionoccurs. He must not understand the vast, unbridgeable gap betweensimple variations, often called "micro-evolution," and t'macro-

evolution."For example, dogs produce a variety ofdogs and roses can produce

a great variety of roses over time, but that in no way proues that dogs

and roses came from a common ancestor which in turnhad come from a

rock which had come from a big bang where rnthing exploded! He can

beliea)e that if he wishes b:ut dan't call that science and dan't make alltdxpdyers PaJ to haqte that itrcluded in books of science! Macro-evolution is a religion. It only takes place in the imagination of itszealous adherents.

Just because Mr. Spark's religion happens to be included in thisgeneration's science textbooks does not mean it qualifies as science orthat it becomes science by association. Beer is often sold at footballgames, but beer and football have no more in common than evolutiondoes with science. Science deals with things that can be observed,

tested, and demonstrated, If he (or anyone he knows) observed the

big bang, life come from non"life, or any animal change to any otherkind of animal, I will pay him $ 10,000!

me a call at (850) 479-3466,I will pay them $50 just to come debateme and $ 10,000 if they have empirical evidence for macro-evolution.They need to put up or . . . .

Some of your area teachers are to be commended for wanting toeducate students by allowing me to come present the evidenceagainst evolution (at no charge to the school and at my own expense).I speak in hundreds of public schools all over North America withouttalking about God or the Bible.

I just tell them that real scientism keep an open mind to othertheories; and that there is overwhelming evidence that some

scientists are wrong today about the age of the earth and the role ofdinosaurs in history. The only people who ever get upset are thefellow-travelers in an area who obviously want to indoctrinatestudents with the parry line of evolution and will tolerate nocompetition.

Not a valid topic for science class sl28l96Marc Lipsitch's article against "creationism" just reached my

desk. He was obviously distraught that the public schools in some

areas might be allowing their teachers to teach anything other thanevolution in their classes.

School board members need to be well-versed on the creation.evolution subject as it will no doubt come up in their schools sooner orlater. I happen to believe in creation instead of the religious worldviewof evolution. As a former high school science teacher with a doctoratein education, I find it very hard to comprehend how anyone couldchoose to believe our entire complex universe came from a com-pressed dot which in turn had come from nothing! (Many textbooksin public schools teach exactly that!)

Mr. Lipsitch seems to believe there is overwhelming evidence thatevolution occurs. He must not understand (or he refuses to admit) thevast, unbridgeabie gap between simple uaiations, often calledmicro - eqt olution, and macr o - ev olution.

Just because Marc Lipsitchs religion happens to be included inthis generation's science textbooks does not mean it becomes scienceby association.

l0 Cubits

The Bible and the Value of 7E

Does the Bible contain a mathematical error?

I Kings 7:23-76 and II Chronicles 4:2-5 describe a huge brass

bowlbuiltby KingSolomon. If the diameter of this bowlwas 10 cubits,then the circumference should haue been 3 1 .4 1 592 6... cubi*, not just 30cubits! Any math student will tell you that the circumference of acircle is found by taking the diameter times Pi (n). This apparent

mathematical error caused me, as a new Christian, to doubt theaccuracyof the Bible.

The answer is so simple!The diameter of 10 cubits is from outer rim to outer rim, the way

anyone would measure a circular object. The circumference of 30cubits, howeve4 was of the irmer ctclq after subtracting the thicknessof the brass (two handbreadths-one for each side) from which thebowl was made. This would be the number needed to calculate thevolume ofwater.

Check for yourself.

Substitute the length ofyour cubit (elbow to longest fingertip) forthe letter C in the following formula, and solve for H.

30C+n*2H=lOC

The width of your handbreadth willbe the result. For example,my cubit is 20 inches long. If I had built the brass bowl, the outerdiameter would have a circumference of 600 inches (30 x 20 inches)

and a diameter of 190.896 inches (600 inches + 3.14159). Thedifference between the rwo diameters is 9.014 inches (two of myhandbreadths).

Rest assured.

God makes no mistakes, mathematical or otherwise. The Scrip.tures do not contain error. By the way, Solomon built this sea in 1000

B.C., long before the Greeks rediscovered Pi (n). \7e may notunderstand some things at first glance, but the problem is with us,

not with the Bible. Please be sure you are on the solid foundation ofGod's'Word, saved by the blood of Christ.

Folks, the only contradictionsin the Bible are APPARENTcontradictions.

Contradictions in the Bible?

Do Genesis chapters 1 and 2 conflict? Many scoffers claim thatthe Bible is full of contradictions. They will nearly always cite GenesisI andZ as examples.

1. Gen. 1 : 1 t has the trees made on day 3 before man;Gen. 2:8 has the trees made on day 6 after man.

2. Gen. 1 : 20 has birds made out of the w ater on day 5 ;

Gen. Z:19 has birds made out of thegrowd (afterman) onday 6.

3. Gen. l:24,25 has the animals madeonday 6beforeman;Gen. 2: 19 has the animals made on d ay 6 after man.

Here is the solution.A careful reading of the rwo chapters will show the solution for

each of the supposed coritradictions.

Explanation of supposed contradiction 1:a. Chapter 1 tells the entire story in the order it happened.b. Gen. 2:4-6 gqves a quick summary of the first five days of creation.c. Gen. Z:7 *25 is describing only the events that rook place on day

6 in the Garden of Eden.d. The rrees described in Genesis 2:8 are only in the Garden (rhe

rest of the world is already full of trees from day 3). The purpose of thissecond creation of trees may have been to let Adam see that God didhave power to creare, that He was not just taking credit for the existingworld. Notice that the second creation of trees was still on day 6 andwas only those trees that are "pleasant to the sight and good for food."

Explanation of supposed contradi ctton1tThe birds created out of the ground on day 6 are only one of each

"kind'so that Adam can name them and select a wife. The rest of theworld is full ofbirds from day 5.

Explanation of supposed contradiction 3:Genesis 2:19 is describing only the animals created in the Garden,

after man. The purpose of this second batch of animals being createdwas so that Adam could name them (Gen. 7:19) and select a wife(Gen. 2:20). Adam, nor ftnding a suitable one (God knew he would-n't), GodmadeEve (Gen. 2,21-22).

There are no contradictions between these rwo chapters, Chapter2 only describes in more detail the evenrs in the Garden of Eden onday 6. If ancient man had written the Bible (as some scoffers say), hewould never have made it say that the light was made before the sun!Many ancient cultures worshiped the sun as the source of iife. God islight. God made the light before He made the sun so we could see tharHe (not the sun) is the source of life.

Two BasicWorldvieu/sThe creation worldview says that God made the universe approxi-

mately six thousand years ago. The evolution worldview teaches thatthe universe made itself from nothing approximately twenty billionyears ago. One of these opposingworldviervs obviouslyis wrong.

These time-line charts show the time differences presented. If theevolution chart were drawn to the same scale as the creation chart (1

inch : 750 years), the evolution chart would have to be 421 miles

IongJl The entire theory of evolution is built upon the faulty assump-tion that the origin of the universe was "billions of years ago" (BYA).The human mind cannot grasp "billions of years." As with most fairytales, evolution relies on "long ago" and "far away" to make theimpossible seem true. My advice: Dorftbetyour life on evolutionl

Ten years is a long time. On the creation chart it would be .013inch (the thickness of a piece of paper); on the evolurion chart itrvouldbe invisible.

Few people will live 100 years. Lincoln was President over 130years ago rvhich is only .173 inch on the crearion chart and invisibleon the evolution chart.

Columbus sailed more than 500 years ago(U3 of an inch). Theentire creation charr of 6,000 years would be .0000024 inches (stillinvisible) on the evolution chart! The entire fictitious geologiccolumn of 600 millions years would be only .24 inch (less than 1/4

inch on the evolution chart at the scale it is drawn here.

Questions to ask evolutionists (see my list of Questions forEvolutionists, p. 11).

1. In the Big Bang, what exploded? And where did it come from?\7hen they admit they don't know, ask, "Which is easier to believe:'In the beginning God,' or'ln the beginning Dirr'?"

2.Do you believe in spontaneous generation (life coming fromnonliving matter) ?

The theory of evolution is somerhing people choose ro believe.They do not and cannot know that ir is rrue. Real science deals withthings that are observable and testable, and neither creation norevolution are scientifically provable. Both views are religious innature. Yet, all U. S. (and other countries) taxpayers are forced to payfor the religion of evolution to be promoted in our school system-aclear violation of the FirstAmendment.

Hitler's Hit ListIn Vienna from 1900 to 1918, a renegade Catholic monk, Adolf

Lanz (nom de plume Lanz von Liebenfels), gave the Manichaean'cosmology a secular form. In preaching to his sect, The New Order ofTemplars, in his monthly journal Oswra and in his book TheozoobgJ,Lanz taught that in the beginning there had been two earthly races:the Aryan' Heroes (Asings) and the Animal People (Apes). TheAryans were the earthly equivalenr of the Manichaean light; they hadbeen a divine race endowed with supremely inrelligent, electronicminds, blond, biue-eyed beauty, and creativity.

The Animal People were the worldly counterparts of theManichaean darkness; they had been a demonic race cursed withstupidiry (except in the art of deception, in which they excelled),gorilla.like ugliness, and the urge to destroy. At some early time, theApes began to envy and hate the Asings. They pondered methods ofdestroying the Aryans and decided to attack the superior racethrough miscegenation. Conveniently, the Aryan women had a fatalsusceptibility to the Apes. (Lanzinsisted that the story of the tempta.tion of Eve in Genesis was an esoteric account of her seduction by oneof the monsters.) After several centuries of such interbreeding, theoriginal Asings and Animals disappeared. Now the earth was popu-lated by mixed races, which could be ranked as higher or loweraccording to the proportions of Aryan and Ape blood that theypossessed, approximately as follclws:

Blood Mixture

Germanic (brown haiq blue,eyed or,

less desirable, brown-eyed). ...Predominantly Aryan

Mediterranean (white but swarthy)...........SIight Aryan preponderance

Slavic (white but degenerative bone srructure)....Close to Aryan, half.Ape

Oriental.... .....,,.....S1ight Ape preponderance

Black African...... .............Predominantly Ape

Jewish (fiendish skull)................ ................Close to pure Ape

-from TheHitlcrMosemmt, p. 107

'Manichaeanism: a religious philosophy taught from the third to seventh centuriesA.D. by the Persian Manes (or Manichaeus) and his followers, combiningZoroastrian, Gnostic Christian, and pagan elements, and based on the doctrine of thecontending principles of good (ight, God, the soul) and evil (darkness, Satan, thebody).

'Aryanism: belief in the past existence of the hypothetical Aryan race supposedlypossessing a superior civilization. (Aryan has no validity as a racial term, although so

used notoriousiy by the Nazis to mean "a Caucasian of non.Jewish descent.")

Charts# I Se"s a job and does it. This kind of worker always becomes aboss

or business owner and makes big bucks. The best workers do a jobswiftly, cheerfully, humbly, and thoroughly. They are usually very happyand fulfflled in life. "Even a child is known by his doings, whether hiswork be pure, and whether it be right." "Prepare thy work without, andmake it fit for thyself in the field, and afterwards build thine house."Prov. 20:11 24:27

#2 Ast s what job to do nexL This hnd of worker is rare, but is never

out ofwork. The boss loves to have some of these people working for hfun.

#3 Mrwtbe asked to do a job. This kind of worker is the most com-mon. He never excels in the job market and usually gripes about beingoverlooked when promotiors are made. Some of these employees willwork cheerfully fltype A) and some not cheerfully (E pe B).

#4Murtbefomdand asked to do a job. This kind of workergetsminimum wage and never holds a job long. He is unhappy in life butcannot figure out why. "How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? whenwilt thou arise out of thy sleep?" "The soul of the sluggard desireth,and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat." Prov.6:9;L3:4

Observations: If you are always being told what to do, you arenot a #1 or #Z worker! The #3 and #4 workers often worsen withage. Each group can be further divided into subcategories, based onthe person's abiliry and knowledge of the job. Some are eager to workbut do not know what to do. God wants all of His children, to the bestof their abiliry, to develop the talents He has given them.

Carbon l4 Calibration Curve:How Carbon Dating Is Supposed to Work

Radiocarbon dating was invented by \Tillard Libby in the early1950s at the Universiry of Chicago. \7hile not totally useless,dating methods are overrared. \Tillard Libby said that carbondating was only accurate for objects a few thousand years old.

Cosmic radiation strikes our atmosphere, changing theelement Nitrogen (N,J to Carbon 14 (Cr4). This C,ois radioactive(can be detected by a Geiger counter). This radioactive carbon ismixed in with the normal carbon in the atmosphere, generally inthe form ofcarbon dioxide (COr).

Plants intake carbon dioxide and make it part of their tissue.Animals eat the plants and the CO, becomes parr of their bodytissue. \7hen the plant or animal dies it stops taking in new CO,.

Radioactive carbon is very rare in the environment today (only.00007650/o or about 10 pounds in the entire world) and becomeseven more rare as it decays into simpler components. About half ofthe C,rwill break down (decay) into simpler components in about5,730 years. This is called the half-life of C,r. In two "half.lives"( 1 I ,460 years) , only one fourth of the original C,rwill srill be in anobject. By using the number of clicks on the Geiger counter as aguide, scientists should be able to determine the ageof an object. Because the atmosphere today will Tree

produce about 16 clicks per minute for each gram

"To compel a man to furnishcontributions of money for thepropagation of opinions whichhe disbelieves a and abhors issinful and tyrannical."

-ThomasJefferson

Extraneous dates (dates thatdon't fit the expectation basedon the geologic column) are therule, not the exception. Onlydates that match the precon-

ceived ages are used. Theextraneous dates are called"discordant ages" and areignored or explained away.

of carbon, the Geiger counrer should click B

rimes per minute if a sample is 5,730 years oldand 4 clicks per minute ifit is 1 1,460 years old.

While Carbon 14 dating sounds good so far,several faulty assumptions, which are listedon the following page, underlie the proce.dure. Most of the other radiometric datingmethods use the same faulty assumptions.

Living penguins have beencarbon dated as being 8000years old!

At least six different radio-metric dating methods are

available. The assumed age of thesample will dictate which datingmethod is used beeause each willgiue a different result.

For example: when dinosaurbones containing carbon are

found, they are not carbondated because the result wouldbe only a few thousand years.Because this would not matchthe assumed age based on thegeologic column, scientists use

another method of dating'togive an age closer to the desiredresult. All radio-metric resultsthat do not match the preas-

signed ages of the geologic

column are discarded.

Wrong Assumptions in C,n

Dating MethodsL. Atmospheric C,nis in equilibrium. This assumption is wrong.

The amount of C,o in the atmosphere is still increasing, It has been

estimated that the C,*in the earth's atmosphere would reach equilib-rium (the formation rate would be equal to the decay rate) in about30,000 years. This research indicates a young earth (less than 10,000years).

The same research also modifies all dates obtained by C,, decay.

As the earth's magnetic fteld decays, more cosmic radiation pene-

trates our atmosphere, On a Geiger counter, 16 clicks per minute per

$am (16DPM/Gc) is typical in living objects today. Plants andanimals that lived on the earth four thousand years ago would havehad much less C,, in their body to start with. The low amount of C,*

would make them appear to be thousands of years older than theyreally are. Several factors can affect the rate of C,rformation. The 11-

year solar sunspot cycle is one such factor.

Z.Decay rate remains constant. Many times this assumption has

been shown to be uncertain. Because the rate of decay may not be

constant, dates obtained by C,, may be accepted, but only wirhcaution.

3.Initial amounts of C,rcan be known. Many times this assump-

tion has been demonsrrated to be wrong. Different parts of the same

sample often yield different ratios. Various living samples give verydifferent ratios. Some items will not be tested with carbon dating eventhough they contain carbon (see number 5 below). \Uould a molluskhave the same amount of C,* per gram of carbon as a tree? Probably

not. Living penguins have been carbon dated at 8000 years old! Theoldest sample of independently known age is Hemaka, the Egyptianmummy from 2700-3100 B.C. (Secular writers of antiquity tend toexaggerate ages, so even these dates are suspect.)

4. The sample being tested has not been contaminated forthousands of years. This assumption is very difficult (if not impossi-

ble) to prove. Parent or daughter products may have leached in or outof the sample. Many lab tests have confirmed that this can happen.

5. The geologic column can be used as a base to calibrate theC,n dates This assumption is not wise. The ages applied to the geo,

logic column (invented in the 1800s to discredit the Bible) do notexist anywhere in the world excepr in textbooks. Poly,strata fossils,

missing layers, layers out of order, misplaced fossils, and layers inreverse order all invalidate the geologic column (theCreationSeminar

Thpes 4-6 have more information on this subject).

Indoctrination in Evolution:Before and After Federal Funding

Those who believe in the theory of evolution often compiain thatpublic school science textbooks do not present enough informationon their theory. They say that students'science test scores are fallingbecause of this lack of reaching evolution.

I believe that the opposite is rrue. Evolution has nothing to dowith science and is anti-science. Students should spend rime learningreal science, not religious worldviews like evolution.

Evolutionary theory appears in nearly all subjects and grades in oneform or another. \7hy? I believe one major reason is fear: When theSoviet Union launched Spumik in 1957, some Americans panicked atthe thought of losing the space race. A ferv dedicated humanistsdecided that America was behind because it was not teaching evolu.tion as much as the Soviets were. The federal government beganinvolvement in producing public school rexrbooks in the late 1950s (aclear violation of the Gnth Amendment to the U.S. Constirurion).

"The Road Called LiIe"The road of life, it seems to me, is not as smooth as it should be. r. A.Sometimes the road seems all uphill, like swallowing a bitter pill. \ \Sometimes the bumps get really rough, and you give up, or else get tough.But the hardest part, it seems it me, is when you drive up to a "T"

You must go left or else go right, and that's what makes my stomach tight.Decisions seem so hard to make, but I must choose which road to take.That choice determines where I'il be and also my whole family.I asked for help from those around, but their view, too, was from the ground.

And so I asked the One I knew fl7ho up in heaven has a view),Of all the roads that I might take, to keep me right forJesus' sake.

I prayed and prayed and then I chose, and was I right? My Father knows.But He wort't say too much to me; He saves it for eternity.

And then I think that He will say, "My son, you could have chosen either way.

I'm more concerned about your heart, than where you go or when you start,It's not so much which way you go, but what you do with what you know.You may go left or right or straight. I'll meet you at the pearly gate.

And welcome you with open arms, and keep you safe from alllife's harms."

I s'pose Illl wonder every day, "\Mhat if I'd gone the other way?'

But this rime I'll just do my best and pack my stuffand head out \West.

Questions and AnswersIt has been my custom since I began the ministry of Creation

Science Evangelism in 1990, to have an open time for questions and

answers during my seminars. I tell the audience that any question is

fair game. Over the years, many interesting questions come up. Hereare some of the questions that have come my way in seminars or by

mail and my answers. I'm sure we will be adding to this section untilthe Lord comes back. Please feel free to send in your question if you

don't see it here. Please be patient if it takes me a while to post an

answet

Many of these questions are dealt with in more detail with visuals

on my video tape #7 of the creation seminar series, Other questions

about subjects such as the dinosaurs, cave men, ff.re breathing drag.

ons, why the pre-flood people lived over 900 years, what caused the

flood, the ice age and many others are dealt with in the ff.rst 6 tapes ofthe series. The questions below are in categories and numbered foreasier reference.

I. General science questions:1. \Uhy do creationists fight against science?

2. How do we see stars billions of light years away?

3. Doesn't carbon dating prove the Earth is old?

4. The number of fossils in certain areas of the world isenormous. How could earth have supported all those

creatures at the same time?

General science questions:

l. Q: \Uhy do crearionists fight against science?

A: Yorr question has me confused. All major branches of science

were started by creationists. There has never been one

advancement in any fteld of science that the evolution theoryhas helped. The evolution theory is useless. I don't know ofany creationist who fights against science, I certainly lovescience and taught it for 15 years. Most creationists that Iknow love science and only fight against evolution. You may

be confusing the evolution theory with science. Some thinkthe two go together. This is a common mistake due to theintense evolution propaganda campaign of the last 50 years. Itwould help if i,6u watch my videotape #4 for more on this.There has never been any evidence that any kind of plant oranimal has ever been able to create itself or produce any orherkind of plant or animal. We have seen thousands of changes

within the created kinds but that is not evolution. Please

don't accuse me of being against science. I am only against thefalse teaching of evolution as science.

2. Q: If the earth is only 6000 years old, how is it we can see

stars that are billions of light years away?

A: fnir is one of the most commonly asked questions and

deserves an honest answer. Below is first a short answer then amore thorough answer. There are three things we need toconsider when answering the starlight question.

i. Scientists cannot measure distances beyond 100light years

accurately.

2. No one knows what light is nor that it always fravels thesame speed throughout all time, space and matter.

3. The creation was finished or mature when God made it.Adam was full grown, the trees had fruit on them, the star

light was visible, etc.

Let me elaborate on the 3 points about the star light question.

First, no one can measure star distance accurately. Thefarthest accurate distance man can measure is 20 light years

(some textbooks say up to 100), not several billion iight years.

Man measures star distances using parallax trigonometry. By

choosing rwo measurable observation points and making an

imaginary triangle to a third point, and using simple trigo.nometry man calculates the distance to the third point. The

*i+*i(

most distant observation points available are the positions ofthe earth in solar orbit six months apart, say June and Decem.ber. This would be a base for our imaginary triangle of186,000,000 miles or 16light minutes, There are 525,948minutes in a year. Even if the nearesr star were only one iightyear away (and it isn't), the angle at the rhird point measures.017". In simpler terms, a triangle iike this would be the same

angle two surveyors would see if they were standing sixteeninches apart and focusing on a third pointB.24 miles away. Ifthey stayed 16 inches apart and focused on a dot 824 miiesaway, they would have the same angle as an astronomermeasuring a point 100light years away. A point 5 millionyears away is impossible to figure with trigonometry. The stars

may be that far away but modern man has no way of measur-ing those great distances. No one can state definirively thedistance to the stars. The stars may indeed be billions of lightyears away, but man cannot measure those distances.

Several other methods such as luminosity and red shift areemployed to try to guess at greater distances but all suchmethods have serious problems and assumptions involved. Fora more complex and slightly different answer to the star lightquestion from a Christian perspective, see the book Srarilghu

andTime by Russell Humphry available from www.icr.org.

Second: the speed of light rnay not be a constant. It does varyin different mediums (hence the rainbow effect of light goingthrough a prism) and may vary in different places in space.The entire idea behind the black hole theory is that light canbe attracted by gravity and be unable to escape the great puliof these imaginary black holes. No one knows what light is letaione that it's velociry has been the same all through time andspace. Since atomic clocks use the rvavelength of the Cesium133 atom as a standard of time, if the speed of light is decay-ing, the clock would be changing ar the same rate and there-for not be noticed,

Finally, the creation account states that God made light beforeHe made the sun, moon, or stars. The rest of creation was

mature, so starlight was probably mature at creation as well. Iwould ask the question, How old was Adam when God madehim? Obviously he was zero years old. But how oid did helook? He was a full-grown man. The rrees were full-grownwith fruit on them the first day they were made. The creationhad to be that way, it would not work otherwise. Star's andtheir light were made ar rhe same time. The God that Iworslrip is not limited by anything involving time, space ormater.

I would also like to point out that the evolutionists have no

answer to the basic questions like; 'lUhere did the originalmatter space and energy come from for the stars? I suspect

God built the universe so we would say "'Wow!"'W'hen we see

the stars we should be reminded of the glory of God notevolution. See Psalms 8.

3. Q: Doesn't carbon dating prove the earth is millions of years

old?

A: L"t me ft.rst explain how carbon dating works and then show

you the assumptions it is based on. Nothing on earth carbondates in the millions of years, because the scope of carbondating only extends a Gw thousand years. Willard Libbyinvented the carbon dating technique in the early 1950's. Hecalculated the amounc of carbon-14 in the atmosphere today(about .00007657o), and assumed there would be the same

amount found in living plants or animals since the plants

breath CO, and animals eat plants. Carbon 14 is the radio.

active version of carbon. Radiation from the sun strikes theatmosphere of the earth all day long. This energy produces

radioactive carbon 14. This radioactive carbon 14 slowlydecays into normal, stable carbon 12. Extensive laboratorytesting has shown that about half of the C-14 molecules willdecay in 5730 years. After another 5730 years half of theremaining C-14 will decay leaving only % of the original C,14.It goes fromYz to V+ to 1/8, etc. In theory it would never

totally disappear, but after about 5 half lives the difference is

not measurable with any degree of accuracy. This is why mostpeople say carbon dating is only good for objects less than30,000 years old.

Since sunlight causes the formation of C-14 in the atmo-sphere, and normal radioactive decay takes it out, there must

be a point where the formation rate and the decay rateequalizes. This is called the point of equilibrium. Let me

illustrate: If you were trying to fill a barrel with water butthere were holes drilled up the side of the barrel, as you filledthe barrel it would begin leaking out the holes. At some pointyou would be putting it in and it would be leaking out at thesame rate. You will not be able to fill the barrel past this pointof equilibrium. In the same way the C-14 is being formed and

decaying out simultaneously. A freshly created earth wouldrequire about 30,000 years for the amount of C-14 in the

atmosphere to reach this point of equilibrium because it wouldleak out as it is being filled. Tests indicate that the earth has

still not reached equilibrium. This would mean the earth is

-Edmund Burke

not yet 30,000 years old! This also means that plants andanimals that lived in the past had less C-14 in them than doplants and animals today. Just this one fact totally upsets dataobtained bv C-14 dating.

The carbon in the atmosphere normally combines with oxygento make carbon dioxide (CO,). Piants breathe CO, and rnake

it part of their tissue. Animals eat the plants and make it partof their tissues. \U'hen a plant or animal dies it stops taking inair and food so it shouid not be able to get any new C.14. TheC-14 in the plant or animal will begin to decay back tonormal C.IZ, The older an object is, the less carbon.l4 itcontains. One gram of carbon from living plant materialcauses a Geiger counter to click 16 times per minute as the C-14 decays. A sample that causes 8 clicks per minute would be

11,460 years old (the sample has gone through two half lives)and so on.

Although this technique looks good at first, carbon.14 datingrests on two simple assumptions. They are, obviously, assum-

ing the amount of carbon-14 in the atmosphere has always

been constant, and its rate of decay has always been constant.Neither of these assumptions is provable or reasonable. Anillustration may help: Imagine you found a candle burning in aroom. You could measure the present height of the candle(say, seven inches) and the rate ofburn (say, an inch perhour). In order to find the length of time since the candle was

lit we would be forced to make some assumptions. \7e would,obviously, have to assume that the candle has always burnedat the same rate, and the initial height of the candle. Theanswer changes based on the assumptions. Similarly, scientistsdo not know that the carbon.l4 decay rate has been constant.They do not know that the amount of carbon-14 in theatmosphere is constant. Present testing shows the amount ofC-14 in the atmosphere has been increasing since it was firstmeasured in the 1950's. This may be tied in to the decliningstrength of the magnetic field.

In addition to the above assumptions, dating methods are allsubject to the geologic column date to verifii their accuracy. Ifa date obtained by radiometric dating does not match theassumed age from the geologic column the radiometric datewill be rejected. The so-called geologic column was developedin the early 1800's over a century before there were anyradiometric dating methods. Laboratories will not carbon datedinosaur bones (even frozen ones which could easily becarbon dated) because dinosaurs are supposed to have lived70 million years ago according to the fictitious geologic

tiiic Creatiltnismhy Henry Morris (ali available from CSE).

4. Q: The number of fossils in cerrain areas of the worlcl isenormous. How could earth have supported ali those crea-tures al the same time?

A: Thir question shows a common false assumption that manypeople make. They assume the earth today is the sarne as ilhas always beer-r. Jbday's earth is 707o under water. There arescriptural and scientific indications rhat the pre-flood worldhacl grearer air pressure, higlier percentages of oxygen andcarbon dioxide, more land and less lvater and a canopy oflvater to filter our rhe harmluleffects of the sun. This wouldcause there to be many rimes more plants and animals on theearrh than therc are today. The adLled air pressure woulddiffuse more gasses into the water and support a much greaterfish population and acluatic plrrnt life per cubic n-riie also. IIPeter 3 tells us that the scoffers in the last days wiilbe rvill-ingly ignorant of how God created tire heavens and the earth.They would also be ignorant of the flooc{. These rwo grearevents must be corrsidered before making any statementsabout the cr:nclirions on earth today. Only abour 3% of theeartir today is habitable for man today. The rest is uncler warer,ice, deserts, mountains, etc. If the earth beftire the flocrd werefor exarnpie , 70o/a habitable, it could have supported a hugepopulation.

much bigger and smarter than the average person is today.The Bible says they were living to be more than 900 years old.I show some of the evidence for giant humans on my videotape #1. As for smarter, you could learn a lot in 900 yearsl

with language capacity and the abiliry to classify or sort items

quickly (he named all the animals in one day). Adam was

around for over half of the time before the flood came, so his

great knowledge could be spread throughout the world.

In the last 400 years there has been a great increase in accu'

mulated technology. This is not the same as wisdom orintelligence.'We can have a cornputer because thousands ofmen before have invented various parts and ideas that can be

put together. There is no evidence that modern man is

smarter than ancient man. I think rhe opposite is true. Manyof the ancient structures indicate greater intelligence insolving problems in a low-tech age.

As for man getting bigger, there has been an increase inaverage size over the last few hundred years in industrialized

countries due to improved diet, sanitation, medicine, etc butthis is not to be confused with evolution. Also the trend inbigger people is not proof of long-term growth patterns. If man

today is say B inches taller than average man during the

American Revolution 200 years ago it, obviously, would notprove that man was 80 inches shorter 2000 years ago or 800

inches shorter 20,000 years ago!

6. Q: 'Was the earth ever a hot, molten mass like the textbooks

sayl

A: Evotrutionists teach that the earth was a boiling hot, molten

mass that slowly cooled down over millions of years. \7ell, the

Bible says in Genesis chapter 1 that "ln the beginning God

created the heaven and the earth...and the Spirit of God

moved upon the face of the waters." So the surface of the

earth was covered with water; it could not have been a hot,

molten mass.

There is scientific evidence to support the Biblical account.

Robert Gentry of Knoxville, Tennessee, does amazing research

on radio-polonium halos in granite rock. Polonium is a rare

element that is radioactive; it breaks down or decays like

uranium. But polonium only lasts a few minutes. As it breaks

down, it sends off little particies that fly a certain distance. Ananalogy would be a hand-grenade exploding under water thatproduces a sphere of fragments in the water that only lasts a

fraction of a second before it collapses. Different elements

have fragments that fly different distances, each radioactive

element has a particular "signature" (how big a circle it can

make in the rock as it decays like a more powerful hand

grenade would produce a bigger sphere in the water). Radio-

active polonium, when it decays in a solid rock, makes aperfect sphere as it decays because all its fragments fly about

the same distance from the center. If it decays in solid rock,the circle is preserved. But if it decays in a hot molten rock,the circle disappears. All over the world radio-polonium halos

exist in granite, indicating the earth was never a hot, moltenmass. See Robert Gentry's bookCreationsTiny Mysteryavailable from ICR (619) 448-0900, for much more on thissubject.

It is also interesting that Gentry's research was published inmany major science magazines until someone realized that itwas proving the big bang theory to be a big dud. The censor-

ship of his valuable material by mainstream science magazines

is incredible but predictable. Evolution is a very carefullyprotected state religion in this humanist world today.

7. Q: How are diamonds, oil, fossil fuels and natural gas formed?

A: Coal comes from massive amounts of trees and plant matter

that has been changed by tremendous heat and pressure. Oiland natural gas form from fish, reptile, and animal matterunder similar heat and pressure conditions. The most logicaltime for coal, oil and gas to form was during and after theworld-wide flood, when enormous amounts of animal andvegetable matter underwent mass burial under the incredibledestruction and pressure of the flood waters and the sedi-

ments.

Diamonds are highly pressurized, pure carbon gems. (Super-

man used to make them from coal all the time.) Most dia-monds appear in "blue ground," in or near the neck of anextinct volcano where magma erupted. The high pressure ofvolcanic activity could have formed diamonds. Many may

have formed when the "fountains of the deep" were brokenup.

8. Q: How do you explain the formation of fine strata layers

called varves such as those in the Green River formation inWyoming which contains 20 million fine layers which repre-sent 1 year each? Doesn't this prove the earth is more than6,000 years old?

A: Thir question assumes that each of these layers is annual, and

this is, obviously, not the case. Numerous experiments have

been done on the formation. You can take a section of Green

River formation and grind it to powder, drop it into movingwater and it will resort itself into many fine layers. It has been

9. Q: \fhat about black holes?

A: In order to escape the gravitational pull of the earth, a rocket

must go 1?,000-18,000 miles per hour. if it goes less than this

it will fall back down. This speed is known as the escape

velocity of earth. If a planet has stronger gravity, the escape

velocity will be even greater.

The idea behind a black hole is the idea that if enough mass is

in one location, the gravity would be so great thar even light

cannot escape. This of course is assuming that light can be

effected by graviry. No one has ever seen a black hole since no

light could escape one if it existed.

The problem black holes are supposed to {ix is this: if the big

bang theory is true, the matter should be evenly distributed inspace. Since matter is not evenly distributed in space (we

have clumps of matter called galaxies then zillions of miles ofnothing between) the believers in the big bang theory are

trying to explain why. They are trying to say: "There is matter

in between the clumps but we can'r see it because it is in black

holes." Actually, they are arguing from a lack of evidence notfrom evidence. This is a poor position to be in when trying toprove your case in a court of law.

I don't know if black holes exist or not, but their existence is

not proven,

I0. Q: What about the Mars rock; is/was there life on Marsl

A: lif" does not exist on Mars. The purpose of the Mars rock

hype a few years ago was to help NASA get its grant money

through Congress. They must ftnd something important withall the billions they spend. The rock had been found 7 years

earlier near the South Pole. It arrived i3,000 years ago,

according to NASA: In 13,000 years it could easily have

become contaminated with Earth life' Or, in passing through

the 200 mile thick Earth atmosphere, the rock could have

become contaminated.

"Men should not resign his

subjects afterward. It is notdesirable to cultivate a respectfor the law as for the right."

Also, the rock's supposed Mars origin is suspect. Suppose we

reduce Earth to the size of a 4 inch tomato and Mars to the

size of a 2 inch tomato; using this scale, the tomatoes would

be 2,000 feet apart, over one,third of a mile at the closest

point of their orbits. Suppose that you had to shoot the Mars

tomato so that one piece of it landed on the Earth tomato,

without leaving a dent in the Mars tomato. Highly unlikely,

don't you think? Mars has no giant crater thar would indicate

it had been hit with enough force to knock a fragment all the

way to earth. The whole purpose of the highly publicized Mars

find was to push a NASA funding grant through Congress. Itworked. For much more on this ropic see the bookThatTheirWordsMay BeUsed AgainstThem, by Dr. Henry Morris.

Questions about public schools:

I . Q: Should (or can) creation science be taught in the public

school system?

A: fnir is a good question and it deserves a good answer' however,

there are other questions that must be answered first before

this question can be properly answered.

The first of these is: Should we have a public school system?

The tenth amendment to the U'S. Constitution says, "Thepowers not delegated to the United States by the Constitu-

tion, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the

States respectively, ar to the people." The interference of the

Federal government in the education of children in unconsri-

tutional. I believe if the government was out of the education

business (as well as welfare and hundreds of other socialist

programs they have gotten into), many other problems would

be eliminated and questions like this would be mute.

If a group of parents want to get together and hire someone to

educate their children in keeping with their beliefs and values,

that is fine and constitutional. It is unfair and illegai (constitu-

tionally) to force everyone (via taxes) to pay to have all

children taught things contrary to the beliefs and values oftheir parents.

A second question to answer is: If we decide to have a public

school system, rvho should run it? This will further eliminate

questions about what is taught. If the local community wants

to impart their values to the students, and they are paying the

salaries, then their values should be taught. The schools

became public in the mid 1800's as part of a long'range plan

for a new world order. See the article, '\7hy the Schools'Went

this.

Now, to finally answer the questionr Not only can you legally

teach creation science in the public schools, you can teach itright out of the Bible, and teach or devote a class to religion,

,r,d huu" the textbook be the Bible. \7e all know the effects of

what happened in 1963 when the Bible was taken out, and

evolution put in to the schools, but we have been deceived by

that ACLU again! In 1963, the Supreme Court banned the

use of the Bible to try to get kids saved, which is not good

obviously, but it's a lot better than what the ACLU has led us

to believe. They did not throw the Bible out! we have thrown

the Bible out because we have allowed ourselves to be

deceived by the ACLU.

In the landmark ruling of School District of Abington Town'

ship v. Schempp, 374U.5.703,275, (1963) the court held

that, ,'it certainly may be said that the Bible is worthy of study

for its literary and historic qualiries. Nothing we have said

here indicates that such study of the Bible or of religion, when

presented objectively as part of a secular program of educa'

,iorr, *ry be effected consistently with the First Amendment'"

In the ruling of Stone v. Graham, 449 U.S. 39, 42 (1980)' The

Supreme Court stated that, "the Bible may constitutionally be

used in an appropriate study of history civilization, ethics,

comparative religion, or the like."

In Florey v. Sioux Falls School District, 619 F.Zd L3lL,1314

(8th Cir, 1980), the court found that permitting public school

observances which include religious elements promotes the

secuiar purpose of "advancing the srudent's knowledge and

2. Q: What can public school kids and their parents do about

evolution being taught in the public school sysrem?

A: H.re are some practical suggestions students and their parents

can take to fight evolution in the classroom. It certainly isunfair to use tax dollars to promote the religion of evolutionand, at the same time, destroy the faith of Christian childrenin school.

Parents:. tansfer your child from public school to private or homeschool. Public schools lose funding when enrollment drops.See www.exodus2000.org.. Go to school board meetings.. Lobby for a law requiring a warning sticker in every bookthat contains evolution. Stephanie Bell, (334) 272-2?77,implemented such a warning sticker law for Alabama text.books.. 'Write to textbook publishers to express your opinion.. Run for school board or get on your textbook selectioncommittee and demand that books be accurate. Most states

already have laws requiring this. Getting false information outof the books will remove many items currently used to supportevolution. See my Are You B eing Br ainw ashed by Your PublicSchool Texrbookt for more on this topic, or my seminar video#4.Twenty-fwo of the 50 states have a state textbook selec.

Bible Questions:

| . Q: Are there contradictions in the Bible?

A: Wh"r, I was a new Christian, someone showed me the appar-

ent contradictions between the creation accounts in Genesis 1

and Genesis 2. According to Genesis 1, God made the ffees onday three, the birds from water on day five, and the animals onday six, all before man. But Genesis 2 records the creation oftrees, animals, and birds from dirt on day six, all after man.

This apparent contradiction disappears when one reads inGenesis 2 that the events in that chapter describe the eventsregarding the creation of the items in the Garden of Eden only.God knew Satan could come and say he had created all thingsif Adam did not actually witness God's creative power. Godmade Adam on the sixth day, put him in the garden, madesome trees to grow before Adam, then made 1 more of each ofthe animals so that Adam could name them and select a wife.The rest of the world was already full of plants and animalsfrom earlier in the week.

Another apparent contradiction appears in I Kings 7:73 andllChronicles 4, the description of the large bowl calied thebrazen laver. According to both passages, the laver measures

10 cubits (elbow to fingertip, about 18 inches) across and 30cubits around, a ratio that does not equal pi (3.14159...) and

appears to be noc mathematically valid. However, the i0 cubitmeasurement spans the inside of the bowl; the handbreadththickness of the brass is included in the diameter whichbalances the ratio to equal pi very neatly. There are no contra-dictions in the Bible. This topic is covered in more detail wirhpictures and calculations in the seminar notebook. The BibleBaptist Bookstore in Pensacola, (850) 476-2945, has a great

book (even though the author is a little sarcastic with his

response to the scofGrs questions) dealing with all of the otherso-called contradictions or problem passages in the Bible. Thebook is called Problem Texts and costs about $10

2. Q: Where did the races come from?

A: Actually, there is only one race; the human race. Obviously,

several different colors of people exist on the earth that have

distinctive characteristics, but they are the same race. Because

Scripture does not state where these differences came from,I'm not going to be dogmatic but I will tell you about thevarious theories.

-former North CarolinaSenator Sam Ervin, inopposition to the SocialSecurity Act.

One theory says that Adam and Eve were medium-brown,possibly because they were made from the earth. Thatmedium-brown couple produced all the varieties of colors;they might have had 100 children or more with all the colors

represented in the first family.

Another theory says that the first division of colors camewhen God put a mark upon Cain (Genesis 4:15) after Cainkilled Abel. Now the Bible doesn't say what the mark is, butsome have tried to say that Cain became the first black man.

Of course, that theory only explains two colors and does notconsider the flood bringing the human race back to one family.

A third theory says that Noah cursed Canaan after Noah got

drunk (Genesis 9:75), and some people think Canaan became

the first black man. I don't believe this theory because I don'tthink any color of people are cursed and it only explains twocolors.

The fourth (and I think the best) theory says the races came

from the Tower of Babel. Genesis 10:20 says, "These are thesons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in theircountries, in their nations." Perhaps all families, countries,nations, and tongues were created or developed from this

event. Maybe the colors were divinely created at that time, ormaybe they are just a natural product of a small group ofpeople speaking their own language and marrying back totheir own parent stock. Racial traits become more pronouncedin a small inbreeding $oup.The Bible isn't clear on thissubject. These four theories are the only ones that I know. Iprefer the Tower of Babel explanation. I know the Bible does

say in Acts 1? that all nations are of one blood so there is noreason for anyone to be a racist.

3. Q: Is there any scientific explanation for the opening of the

Red Sea and Moses leading the children of Israel across thebottom?

A: t do.r t know of any scientific explanation at all, I would say ithad to be a miracle. There is, however, archaeological support

for the Biblical account. Archaeologists have been looking inthe wrong piace for the last 3,000 years for the remains ofPharaoh's army at the Red Sea crossing. If you look at a mapof the north end of the Red Sea you will see that it splits intotwo branches. The left branch is called the Gulf of Suez and

the right branch is called the Gulf of Aqaba: The children ofIsrael did not cross at the Gulf of Suez. They traveied across

the Sinai Peninsula and crossed over at the Gulf of Aqaba,which is also part of the Red Sea.

Ron Wyatt, a friend of mine from Nashville, Tennessee (ph.

(615) 331-6263), researched the crossing of the Red Sea: He

found two stone pillars, one on either side of the Gulf ofAqaba, erected and inscribed by Solomon to commemoratethe Red Sea crossing. Across the bottom of the gulf betweenthe two pillars is a path littered with the remains of gold-plated wooden chariots and chariot wheels not attached. Godperformed a miracle at the Red Sea, and there is evidence ofthe miracle. Ron has a great video on this topic.

4. Q: Is God getting old?

A: ff,ir is an interesting question that reflects a common human

tendency. People often try to put our human limitations onGod. The God of the Bible does not have our limitations. It isdifiicult to comprehend God as not being affected by time,space or matter like we are. There is a story that may helpexplain how God is beyond understanding. Suppose there were

two flat people represented by two rectangular pieces of paper.

These flat people lived on a tabletop. \7e will call them Mr.Flat and Mrs. Flat and the place they iive in and understand is

called Flatland. They are two-dimensional beings and live in atwo dimensional world. They have no concept of the thirddimension. They can see only one dimension (width) but theycan perceive two, length and width; just as humans can see

rwo dimensions, length and width and perceive a third, depth.(Hence, the term "depth perception.")

Now suppose that a three-dimensional being (a human)wished to meet and explain himself to Mr. and Mrs. Flat. Ifthat person stuck a finger through the piece of paper calledFlatland, Mr. and Mrs. Flat wouid see only a circle, (the cross

section of the finger) with no perception of the rest of theperson. Three dimensions are beyond their comprehension inthe same way God is beyond our comprehension. Ephesians

3:18-19 says, "May be able to comprehend with all saints whatis breadth, and length, and depth, and height; (four dimen-

sions) And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowl-edge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God." Godmay exist in more dimensions than we can fully comprehendnow.'!7hen we ask a question like "is God getting old," we

assume that God exists in time like we do. He does not. Heexists beyond time; humans are the ones stuck in time. So God

does not grow old. Time, space and matter do not apply toHim or affect Him in any way. He created them all in Genesis

5. Q: \7hen were angels created?

A: tf,. Bible says in Exodus ZO fi that God made everything inrhose six days, heaven and earth and everything in them. Theangles had to be made during the first six days, although theBible doesn't state when. Several references seem to salr g|'tr,

the angels rejoiced when the earth's foundations were 1aid,

they must have been created early in the week. See Job 3B:4-

7. This passage may be referring to the angels watching theoriginal creation or it may be they were watching the estab-

lishing of the earth's new continental levels after the flood. Idon't know for sure.

6. Q: \7hat are unicorns?

A: I'u. never found a good answer to that one. The Bible men-

tions this creature six times in Numbers Z3:ZZ, Z4:8, Job 39:9-10, Psalms 29:6,97:10. I suspect all the pictures of horses withhorns have been so imbedded in our minds we cannot get

them out. Scripture mentions the unicorn's great strength,aversion to man, and un.trainability. Horses are domesticanimals that train well; reptiles are wild animals with smallbrains that don't train well, if at all. If we could start fresh andread what the Bible says about unicorns, I think we would findthat a stocky strong reptile like the triceratops would fit thedescription much better. 'We have all seen so many pictures ofa horse with a horn that i doubt we will be able to clear ourminds and think about this subject without bias. We will have

to wait and ask God that one.

7. Q: \7hen did Satan fallfrom Heaven?

A: I believe the Genesis accounr is to be taken literally just as itwas written. It was six twenry-four hour days; there was nogap. There was no period of time before the originai creation.There was actually no time. God made time as well as matterand space. I do not think that Satan fell from heaven untilabout one hundred years after the creation. He could not have

fallen before the creation because he was spoken about in thebook of Ezekiel as being good while in the garden. Look atEzekiel 28:13.15 , "Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God;every precious stone was tlry covering the sardiw, topaz, ond the

dittmond, the beryl, the orryx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the

emeral.d,, and the carbuncle, and goW: the workmaruhip of thy

tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou

wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that coueretlu andlhaorc set thee so: thou wast upon theholy mountain of God; thou

@ a*r,rn Science Euangelism' 29 cummings Road . pensacola, Florida 32503

Page 82: Creation Science Evangelism 1998-Kent Hovind

hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou

wa$ perfect in tlry way from the day that tlwu wast created, tilliniquiry was tound in thee." He was Lucifer, a good angel, orcherub, and he was in the Garden. The Garden of Eden wasn'tmade until day six, so that shoots the Gap Theory full of holes

right there. Not only that, but Jesus said in Matthew 19:4 rhar.

the creation of Adam and Eve was the beginning. Read what itsays; "And he answered ond said unto them, Have y not read,

thathe whichmade them atthebeginningmade themmale and

female." Romans 5:12 says that there was no death until Adamsinned, "Wherefore, w by one man sin entered into the world, and

death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all haq,)e

sinned." Those who say that Satan fell from heaven and wipedout the preadamic civilization are placing death before sin.They have just eliminated the need for Christ to die on thecross. There was no death until sin came into the worid.Exodus 20:1 1 states, "For in six days the LORD made lrcauen

and earth..." This is found in the middle of the ten command-ments.

God made the whole thing in six, literal twenry-four hour days,

including time, including the angels, and everything that is.

What day He made the angels is not known, but Satan did not falluntii after the creation, maybe even one hundred or so years later.

All that we know is Adam was one hundred thirry when Seth was

born. That is the first date given in Scripture. Before he had Seth,

they had Cain and Abel, but their dates are not given. Before he

had Cain and Abel, they were removed from the garden' There'fore, it would have been somewhere around a one-hundred year

span where Satan may have become jealous of the fellowship thatAdam and Eve enjoyed with God. Satan may have observed theirrelationship for one hundred years, and said, "Hey, I want them toworship me! I want to rule humanity. I want to walk with them inthe garden. I will ascend unto the high heavens. I will take over

the seat of the Most High. I will, I will, I will"'

My theory is, and I cannot prove it, but I am pretty convinced

that Satan did not fall until one hundred years after the creation.The fall could not have been in the original creation because he

was still the light bearer in the Garden of Eden.

Flood Questions:

I . Q: Did it rain before rhe flood?

A: fn. Bible teaches that before the flood a canopy of water

surrounded the earth. This canopy is mentioned in Gen.

1:6&7, Psalms 148:4 and il Peter 3:5. The Creation Account

Dn Kent Hovind ' office (850) 4?9.DINO (3466) ' Fax a?l'8562 $

Page 83: Creation Science Evangelism 1998-Kent Hovind

in Genesis 1 records that a mist that went forth and wateredthe face of the whole ground. Genesis mentions no otherprecipitation until the flood brought rain for 40 days and 40nights. Many people teach that rain never fell before the

flood. Although that is probably true, it cannot be taughtdogmatically because the Bible simply does not mention rhesubject. Possibly if the canopy of water that is mentioned inGenesis 1:6 and 7 increased che air pressure, as many think itdid, rain would probably not fall.

It may be that Noah was preaching that rain would come outof the sky (something that had never happened), and thepeople laughed just like today when Christians preach that

Jesus will come out of the sky (something thar has neverhappened) to catch up all believers in Christ. See Matthew74:37,Luke 17:76 and I Thess 4:16..

2. Q: How did Noah take care of all rhose animals on the arkl

A: It is reasonable to assume that the larger rypes of animals on

the Ark were young animals because they would weigh less,

eat less, and sleep more. Also, after the flood they would livelonger to produce more offspring. No one knows for sure howmany animals were on the ark. Lirniting it down to two ofeach kind does not mean there were two of each species orvariety that we have today. Also, many animals become

dormant, lethargic or even hibernate during stofiny weather.

Through the instructions that God gave or through thewisdom of Noah he was given the ability to provide a wateringmechanism to disperse water to the animals throughout theark and possibly even a food distribution system. In Genesis

l:29-30, the Bible teaches that before rhe flood all the animalswere vegetarians so there was not a problem with, for example,

the lion trying to eat the iamb. Some have suggested thatthere was a moon pool, a hole in the center of the floor, whichwould provide a place for fishing and, if necessary a way todispense anirnal waste from the ark.

The minor problems that the Bible believers cannor always

answer are nothing compared to the problems and questions

that the evolutionists cannot answer. Although I do not knowexactly how Noah took care of all the animals on the ark, I amgoing to believe the Bible until it is proven wrong instead ofdoubt the Bible unril it is proven right.

3. Q: Did Noah have ro take all the millions of species of insects

on the Arkt

A: Noah was commanded to take into the Ark all the animals onland in whose nostrils was the breath of life (Genesis 6:17,7:t4-15, Z/) .I do not believe that ali the varieties of insectswere on the Ark because they breathe through their skin anddo not have nostrils. They could have survived on floatingmatter or by burrowing in the rnud. Some of the insects mayhave been on the Ark in the fur of the animals or in nooks andcrannies of the ark; the Bible is not clear on the subject.

4. Q: How did animals travel from all over the world to get to

the Ark?

A: fnir question assumes that rhe world before rhe flood was like

the world is today with animals specialized for certain areas.

Today the world is 70% water and the oceans separate thecontinents. Also, some animals oniy live in a few selectedlocations. The Bible teaches that before the flood the waterwas gathered into one place (Genesis 1:9). There was probablyone ocean and much more landmass. Also, if the climate was

more ten'rperate animals could live in all rypes of places whichrneans Noah did not have to go gather animais from all overthe world. In fact, the Bible says that the animals came toNoah (Genesis 6:70).

5. Q: \7hat about dinosaurs? Did they live with Adam and Evel

Did Noah take them on the ark?

A: th" dinosaur question is dealt with for 2 hours on my video-

tape #Z of the creation seminar series. To summarize briefly:Dinosaurs were made the sixth day with the rest of the ani-mals. Noah took them on the ark (probably young ones). Theyhave always lived with man. After the flood many died fromthe climate changes and from man's hunting. They were calleddragons for many centuries. (The word dinosaur was justinvented in 1841.) A few small dinosaurs may still be alivetoday in remote parts of the worid. There have been over20,000 reported sightings of dinosaur like creatures in thiscentury. A few pictures and stories are on my web site.

6. Q: It would take 4.4 billion cubic kilometers of warer to cover

Mt. Everest.'$7here did the water come from to flood theearth?

Dn KentHovind . office (850) 479-DINO (3466) ' Eax a?9'8562 $

Page 85: Creation Science Evangelism 1998-Kent Hovind

A: ffrir question also assumes that the pre-flood world was likethe world is today. The Bible stares cleariy that the water was15 cubits over the tallest mounrain. seashell fossils have beenfound on top of mountain ranges all over the world. The topof Mt. Everest is covered with peuified, closed clams. Theyhad to be buried alive to be petrified in the closed position.This was definiteiy a worldwide flood. The Bible says in psalm104 that as rhe flood ended the mountains lifted up and thevalleys sank down and the warer hasted away. Today,s moun-tain ranges are well above sea level, but this was not the casebefore the flood. If the earth were smoothed out today, rhat is,the mountains pressed down and the ocean basins lifted up,there is enough water in the oceans right now to cover theentire earth 8,000 Get deep (approximately l% miles).

Ail of the water ran off rapidly through rhe soft sediments intothe ocean basins during the last few months of the flood. Thiswould explain the rapid carving of Gatures such as the GrandCanyon and the Bad Lands. See video #6 {or lors more onthis.

7. Q: During the flood how did the fresh warer fish survive?

A: fnir question assumes the oceans were salt water during theflood like they are toda1,. I believe the entire world was largelyfresh water. Today about 30o/o of the rain warer washes inro theoceans, bringing mineral salts with it. The oceans are gettingsaltier every day. Today's oceans are about 3.60/o sa\t, Berweenthe salts washing in from ground warer and the salts leachingin from subterranean salt domes, the oceans could have gonefrom fresh water to 3.60/o in the 4400 years since the flood. Ifthe earth were billions of years old, the oceans would be muchsaltier --like the Dead Sea or Great Salt Lake.

Many animals have adapted to the slow increase in salinityover the last 4400 years. 'We now have fresh water crocodilesand sait warer crocodiles that are different species but proba.bly had a common ancestor. This is not evolution. It is onlyvariation. Changing from a fresh water croc to a salt-watercroc is not a major change compared to what the evolutionistsbelieve. They think it changed from a rock to a croc! Thatwould be a major changel

Several years ago, a man in Minnesota told me that he hadtwo large aquariums in his house, one fresh water and theother salt water. He wondered if he could mix the fishtogether so he figured out how to slowly raise the salt contentin the fresh water aquarium a little each week for 10 yearsuntil it was 1.87o salt. At the same time, he was lowering the

"...our ability to classify bothliving and fossil speciesdistinctly and using the same

criteria fit splendidly withincreationist tenets. But howcould a division of the organicworld into discrete entities bejustified by an evolutionarytheory that proclaimed

salt content in the salt water aquarium to 1.Bolo salt. After 10

years he mixed all the fish together. He told me they adaptedfine.

Noah had no problem with drinking water during the floodand the fresh-water/salt-water problem does not exist.Attempting to force the way the world is today onto thequestions involving the pre.flood world is a common problem.II Peter 3 says the scoffers of the last days will be willinglyignorant of how God made the heavens and the earth (the

original creation), and the flood.

8. Q: If there was really a world wide flood where are all the

bones of the humans that drowned?

A: I b"li.ue there are few human fossils for several reasons.

1. God made the world full of plants and animals but only twopeople. 1600 years later to worid was still full of plants andanimals but still not full of people. There were not as many ofthem to be drowned.

2. Men are smarter than animals (that is, some men), so hewould figure out a way to avoid drowning until the last possi,

ble minute by making makeshift rafts or holding to floatinglogs and tend to be deposited on top rather than in thesediments. Therefore, he would not fossilize. For example,millions of bison were slaughtered in the west a century ago,

yet few, if any, fossilized. They were left on top to rot, bonesand all.

3. Since so many researchers have the preconceived (andfalse) idea that man has been evolving from small and dumb tobig and smart they may tend to not even recognize andproperly identify bone fragments of humans that may havebeen huge by today's standards. Their prejudice is that ancientman was smaller.

In spite of the above problems, Marvin Lubenow, an expert onfossil humans and author of Bones of Contention (availablefrom CSE) says that about 4000 human fossil remains havebeen found.

The evolutionist has a serious problem with this same ques-

tion. if man has really been here for millions of years thereshould be many thousands, if not millions, of fossils of theirbones like we have of the animals. The "where are the bones?"question is really a question for the evolutionist to answer if he

expects all the taxpayers to support his religion in the schoolsystem.

Miscellaneous Questions:

l. Q: What is the Gaia Hypothesis?

A: th. Gaia hypothesis is named after the Greek goddess for the

earth. According to Gaia Hypothesis, earth itself is a livingorganism, our "Mother Earth," as its proponents call it. Manyevolutionists adopt this theory because they have not foundany evidence for gradual undirected evolution as Darwinpredicted. Radical environmentalism and the New AgeMovement tie right into the Gaia Hypothesis and evolution.The Bible teaches the earth was made for man to have domin-

ion over. It is going to be destroyed one day.

2. Q: What about the ozone hole, and R-tZ refrigerants?

A: Ther. is not an ozone problem that man has created. Ozone is

a natural gas, which is produced when sunlight strikes the

atmosphere. O, ozone, is poisonous, but it does filter out

radiation. In the upper atmosphere, the ozone layer protects

usl it's a barrier. Ozone is absent from the North and South

Poles because the sun never strikes those areas dlrectly, but at

such an oblique angle that it does not produce ozone. It'snormal to have an ozone hole.

\7hat about R-12? R.12 does destroy ozone, but the R.12 fromour refrigerators and air conditioners never rises high enough

to destroy atmospheric ozone. R-12 sinks; it doesn't rise. Even

convection currents would not carry man made R-12 to the

ozone layer for 100 years, which is a longer time than man has

been using it. Man has done almost nothing to the ozone. Infact, my understanding is that the last time scientists mea'sured the ozone layer, it was thicker than it was the first time

they measured it. I believe the real purpose of the environ-mental propaganda is to fulfill the first plank of the Commu-nist Manifesto;: the abolishment of private property. \Uhilethere is no question man has abused the environment, there is

a hidden agenda behind the modern hype.

3. Q: \X14rat about global warming?

Al Just about as many scientists are concerned about global

freezing or another ice age as about global warming' Thereisn't enough data to be dogmatic. The answer would probablydepend upon the grant money being sought. As with theprevious question, most of the environmental hype is really to

help bring about Karl Marx's dream (nightmare) of a Commu-

nist world. His first of 10 planks was rhe abolishing of privateproperry. Though there are many sincere people in the envi-ronmental movement, I believe the real agenda is Commu-nism, not saving rhe planet.

4. Q: Who built the Grear Pyramid, and why?

A: No one knows for sure who built rhe Great Pyramid, butseveral theories have been proposed. Some think Adam andhis sons built it before the flood. Some think Enoch built it.Others say Noah and his sons built it after the flood, it appearsthat some of its fearures indicare that it was intended to be atestimony to God. Adam did not have a Bible so God gave himthe gospel story in the stars wirh the 88 constellations tellingthe entire gospel story and God's pian for the ages. After theflood Noah still did not have a Bible so God gave him thegospel story in stone.

. The Great Pyramid has no inscription to any Egyptian king.

. It is the earliest and largest of the 67 pyraniids found inEgypt. The later pyramids are of lesser quality and are merecopies of the Great Pyramid.. Inside, there is a broad way that leads ro a pit and a narrowway that leads to the King's Chamber. (Sounds like Matrhew 7

to me.). The 153 steps of the narrow way match the 153 fishesgathered in John 2l:ll, which may be a reference to allnations of the earth gathering into the kingdom of God, (See

John 21:11). The King's Chamber is on the 50'n row of the stones; 50 wasthe year ofJubilee. (See Lev. 25:11). Inside the King's Chamber is a solid carved, empty redgranite tomb the same volume as the Ark of the Covenant.. Although most have been torn off, the pyramid was origi-nally covered with I44,000 polished casing s[ones, the numbercrf witnesses in Revelation 7. The stones were a perfect fit suchthat many of the seams could not be seen nor a paper putbetween them today, thousands of years iater.. The cornerstone at the top is missing, symbolic of Christ,the rejected chief cornerstone (Daniel 2:45; Psalm ll1:22;Matthew 2l:42; Mk 10:12). The 5 sided cornerstone mayrepresent the number of grace.

. The Great Pyramid is of such magnitude that it could not be

built today. It is 90 times the volume of rhe Chicago Sears

Tower. Napoleon said there was enough stone in the pyramidto build a 10 foot high brick wall all the way around France!Some stones near the top, 400 feet from the ground, weigh 70tons!

Dr. KentHovind. ofiice (850)479-DINO (3466) , raxa9.856Z$f

Page 89: Creation Science Evangelism 1998-Kent Hovind

. The foundation covers so wide an area (over 13 acres) thatit could not be built today as level as it is (less than 1/10 incherror in 13 acres). Every locomotive in the world harnessed tothe Pyramid could not pull it The door is so well joined that itwas undetectable from the outside for centuries.. The pyramid sits right on the longest latitude line and the

longest longitude line with land above sea level thus making itin the center of the land mass of the world.. "In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the

midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof tothe LORD." Is. 19:19. The pyramid is on the border whenEgypt was divided into a northem and southern kingdom and

in the midst when they united.

Satan has been using the great pyramid as his symbol for the

New \ilorld Order. On the back of a $1 bill you will see thepyramid with the all seeing eye (Lucifer) coming down tofinish the pyramid. He thinks he will take over God's king-dom, but Jesus will be the one to come to earth and rule and

reign for 1000 years. See Rev. ?.A-ZZ.

5. Q: \7hat is the Bermuda triangle?

A: Th.r. are several theories about the Bermuda triangle, some

natural, some supernatural. The Bermuda triangle could be a

magnetic anomaly resulting from a bending of the earth's

magnetic field. There may be a large iron ore deposit or theremnants of an iron meteor buried there that plays havoc withinstruments. The ships and planes that report unusual behav-

ior of their instruments may be entering this area of distur-bance. Some say the ships are lost due to the violent suction

created as the tide goes up and down through the coral reefs

there. Small ships have been found down in the deep "blueholes" in the coral. There may be a natural explanation for the

reports.

Some have suggested that the triangle is a UFO parking lot,or the enffance to hell. I personally don't believe either ofthese but I don't have an answer to what is causing the strange

happenings there. Although no solid explanation exists,

hundreds ofreports from reputable people record strange

occurrences in the area: A deacon at'Sfildwood BaptistChurch in Oshkosh, \Tisconsin gave me a first hand account

of his experience while on board a Navy ship in 1962. He was

en route to the Cuban missile crisis. As soon as his ship

entered the space between Florida, Cuba, and Puerto Rico,everything electrical, including wrisrwatches and flashlights,quit working. The ship drifted for 24 hours, unable to radio for

assistance, until it had left the area and operations suddenly

resumed. The area is undoubtedly unusuai, although no one

that I know understands why. If you can {ind out please iet me

know.

6. Q: What about Big-foot?

A: th" Big-foot evidence that I have seen relies on eyewitness

accounts rather than empirical, scientific evidence. Many

people report sightings of creatures with similar descriptions inseveral countries, as well as over 35 American States. There is

no question that many of the sightings are hoaxes, pranks, or

mis-identified. These creatures, also cailed Big-foot,

Sasquatch, Yeti, Skunk Ape or the Abominable Snowman,

may be an unidentified species of ape. Some have said it is part

of a cursed race of humans similar to what happened to

Nebuchadnezzar inDaniel4:33 but those theories are unveri-

fied so far. I have personally interviewed 8 people who claim

they have seen a Big.foot. Their descriptions agree in many

details. They describe it as being like Harry from the movie

Harry and the Hendersans. I don't have a good answer to the

Big-foot question. I wish I did.

7. Q: \7hat about UFO'sl

A: Th. best information that have comes from the books and

material from Chuck Missler at Koinonia House, PO Box D,

Coeur d'Alene, ID 83816, 1'BO0"khouse1, www.khotise.org ot

IJFO: EndTimeDelusionfrom Green Leaf Press, (800) 999-

3777 , or The Cosmic Conspiracy by Stan Deyo available from

Mayflower Bookstore (810) 547-8277. Accotding to Devo,

some UFO's are U.S. Government experiments withelectrogravitic propulsion as opposed to jet propulsion, while

others are Satanic apparitions. For further information, refer to

the books. I don t know for sure what they are, but, if I were

the Devil and I knew the rapture was coming, I would want to

prepare my lie well ahead of time in the minds of the people'

8. Q: Is it possible for your television to watch you?

A: ffrir is just a rumor. There is no evidence that televisions now

monitor their viewers, and to my knowledge no technology

exists to enable them to do so. It would not surprise me if "big

brother" was doing that or working on doing it though. Small

cameras could easily be installed in TV's to have them watch

you but the picture tube itself cannot do this now' Gary Frye, a

good friend of mine, keeps up to date on this type of thing as

9. Q: \What about the Mark of the Beast?

A: Corporations and governments have amazing technology

available that has been developed over the last 20 years.

Revelation 13:76 says that Satan "causeth all, both small and

great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark." TheGreek word translated "mark" literaliy means "etching."Computer microchips have information etched into silicon.Microchips may play an important part in the mark of the

beast.

One example of technology is the UPC, or bar code. IBMdeveloped the bar code in l97Z.The black and white lines

stand for numbers and letters in binary code. By the way, therwo skinny lines at the beginning, middle, and end of every

barcode stand {or "6" in binary code: 666. Under some bar

codes you may see an F or H printed sideways, which may

stand for forehead and hand. As far as financial transactions,four people have called me from Arkansas and Missouri toreport seeing customers at the grocery store pay for purchases

by scanning their hand.

Many advances have been made in tracking people or items.

Microchips can be implanted in pets or cars to track those lost

or stolen. Several satellites in earth's orbit can detect themicrochip and report its coordinates. Also, Hughes AircraftCorporation developed a toll booth substitute that tracks cars.

As a car passes, this strip in the highway deducts 50 cents (or

whatever the toll is) from a debit account, makes an image ofthe license plate, and checks it to see if the car is registeredproperly or has been reported stolen and if the driver is

wanted by the police. The strip can check eight cars per

second at 100 mph per lane. Finally, an imbedded wire along

some highways and a new hand-held device both can turn offthe ignition of a running car by destroying the car's computerwith a burst of energy. These new control and monitoring

technologies may be forerunners of the mark of the beast. Carl

Sanders has the best book I know of on this subject. His # is(850) e37-8427,

I O. Q: How would you a.nswer critics like Matson, Babinski and

Bartelt who have written bad things about you?

A: I *illbe the first to say that I have learned much from my

critics and have changed things in my seminars over the years

$ crrorion science Euangelkm. 29 cummings Road . Pensacola, Florida 32503V

because of their legitimate gripes, corrections and suggestions.For instance, I stopped using the shrinking sun argument whenI was shown there are several ways it can be interpreted. Thereare otirer, better proofs of a young solar system so why use onethat may give them wiggle rooml "lron sharpeneth iron."These critics can be a man's best friend if they don't distracryou from the main job. God knows that I wanr ro be accurateand would never purposely tell a lie to promote my poinr. Imay not always be right, but if I am saying it in my seminar Idon't know it ro be false. I work hard and research a lot to tryto be right. I am certainly willing to be corrected by friend orfoe. The little problems the creationists cannot explain arenothing compared to the mountainous probiems the evolu-tionist is overlooking or ignoring. I ask quite a few questions inmy seminar notebook thaf they seem to conveniently avoid.

It is both humorous and sad to see the evolurionisrs strain so

hard at the gnats in the creation theory and then turn aroundand swallow the camel of evolution. I have read carefully thecriticisms of eacl'r of these scoffers. I debared Ed Babinskiseveral years ago and offered to debate the other two, I suspectthat anyone who has been to my entire seminar would be abieto answer most of their questions and see through the flimsyanswers they give to some of my questions.

It surprised me how many non-answers they gave to the pointsI raised in my seminar. I went through Matson's book and

circled every time he used the words "might have," "couldhave," "scientists believe," etc. His great faith in evolutionshows through clearly as his religion not a science. \7henanswering the problem about the short period comets he says

they are being replenished from the Ort Cloud or the KuiperBelt! No one has ever seen this happen of course but he

believes it to be so. That is an answer based not on sciencebut faith, and he should admit it. The entire answer is filledwith rypical evolutionist fantasy using words like "computersimulations," and "theoreticai calculations," "would likely,""statistical calculations," "some astronomers estimate," etc.His intention is to show it "could have" happened.'We[l, I"could have been" President of General Motors, but I'm not!

He concludes his non-answer ro the question by trying to putthe burden on the creationist! He says, "The creationist mustprove that there are no reasonable sources for replenishingcomets." P13. No, Dave, if you expect all taxpayers to fundyour religion in the public school system, parks, museums, etc.

the burden of proof is on youl You may spend your money anyway you want. You are welcome fo believe anything you want

"After nearly a lifetime ofresearch of research on thesubject, British anatomist andan evolutionist Lord Zuckermanstated that if man evolved fromapelike creature there is noteven a trace of such evidence inthe fossil record."

-Dr. Duane T. Gish,"Evolution, CreationScientifically Equal"

and you may teach your children anything you want them tobelieve but before you spend my money to teach my childrenand grandchildren something I don t want them to believe;the burden of proof is on you!

I don't 'waste a lot of time on scoffers because there are so

many sincere people who want and need the truth that it isunfair to divert much enerry to those who do not wanr tohear. During the war for states' rights, President Lincoln wasgetting lots of critical letters. One of his aids asked him if heintended to answer them. Lincoln replied that if he answeredall his critics that would absorb all his time and he had a warto win. Neherniah did the same thing when his enemieswanted him to stop the work and come down to talk about thewall he was building. His answer was classic. Nehemiah 6:3-4'And I sent messengers unto them (his critics), saying, I amdoing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why shouldthe work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you? Yet

they sent unto me four times afrer this sort; and I answeredthem after the same manner." Nearly every day a skeptic orscoffer will try to engage me in a letter writing battle via e-mail or standard mail over the creation subject. I have astanding offer of $10,000 for proof for evolution and I standready to debate any Z or 3 evoludonists at a time in a publicsetting, but I won't waste the time to slowly hunt and peck outendless answers when they don't really want one. That wouldbe casting my pearls before swine. See Matthew 7:6.If they are

so sure they are right, they should be delighted with theopportunity to debate me publicly. I will even draw the crowdfor them!

.fuheists have nothing else to do. They know they can'r get acrowd together for an atheist's meeting so they ride on thecoattails of the creationists. I recently was invited by the free.thought club on the Ohio State Universiry campus to debatethe editor of the American Atheist Magazine. They told methey normally had about 30 people come to their meerings (ina university of 58,000) but they had nearly 90 come when thisman spoke the month before. They were proud to tell meabout this great attendance! The night of the debate therewere hundreds there (one person said over 700) to hear thedebate. I speak to crowds of over 1000 many weeks out of theyear. The atheists of course have a smarter than thou artitudeabout it. They say their crowds are small because there are notvery many smart people (meaning themselves of course) in theworld.

If these critics would devote even 570 of their error,detecting

attention to the evolution theory like they do to the creationtheory they would see the lies, wild exaggerations and distor,tions used to support che silly idea that we all came from arock over the last 4.6 billion years! Converted evolutionistsmake great creationists. We Christians and creationists need towork to be accurate, of course, at the same time we need torealize the evolutionists are not the enemy, Satan is the enemy.

It may be hard at times, but we need to love the sinner whilewe hate the sin. God ts not willing that any should perish butthat all come to the knowledge of the truth.

I won't take the time or energy to answer all 105 pages ofMatson's book, but, if you come across any of his (or any otherscoffers) points that particularly bother you, give me a call andI will be glad to help you see the flaws in their logic.

A: P1."." see my web site (www.drdino.com) for a complete

12. Q: '!7here did you get your degree?

A: Euery once in a while someone will ask me the question,

"'W'here did you get your degree?" \7hi1e I am not the least bitashamed of my education, I have discovered that often thereason they are asking me the question is because they have

come to the point where they cannot attack the message Ibring against evolution, so they wish to attack the maninstead. This is called anadhominem argument. They thinkthat by belittling the man they have answered the man's points

and won the debate. This is an obvious sign that they have lostthe debate on facts and must resort to other means to try tosave face. Where I got my degree or even if I have a degree is

not related to the facts of the creation evolution debate.

Back to the degree question. I took advanced math andscience classes through East Peoria High School graduating int97l.l earned my first 60 (+ or -) credit hours majoring inmath and science at Illinois Central College in East Peoria,

Illinois. I then transferred to Midwestern Baptist College inPontiac, Michigan where I double majored in education and

Bible and graduated in 197 4. (I took l8-ZA hrs each semester

and summer school to graduate in 3 years.) \7hi1e I taught

math and science in Christian schools for the next 15 years, I -

took courses at several Bible colleges and ftnished my Masters(1988) and Doctorate (1991) degrees in education frorpPatriot University, a small Christian Universiry in ColoradoMy 7,5A page dissertation dealt with the subject of the effectsof teaching evolution on the students in our public schoolsystem. My 20 year study of the creation evolutionism subjectled me to start Creation Science Evangelism in 1991. I nowspeak over 700 times each year, have had 35+ debates andhave beena guest on over 3200 radio and television talk shows,all. on this subject. My itinerary is available from my ofiice oron my web site and any evolutionist interested in a publicdebate, any place they wish, is welcome to contact me toarrange a time while I am in their area.

If you are looking for someone with advanced degrees inscience who supports the young earth creationist position I cansupply you with a list. I only have many years experience instudying the subject and the common sense to know that theuniverse is too complex to have happened without an incredi-bly smart designer (whom I happen to know personally as mysavior). By the way, Darwiris only degree was in theology; yet,he is often called a great scientist in textbooks today andHarvard, Princeton and Yale are non.accredited institutionsthe last I heard.

"What can I do to helpCreation Scien e e Eu angelism

spread the creation mess age?"

People often ask me this question. 'We have had several policies since the beginning of CSE. 'We do notcharge for seminars. 'SUe do not copyright our materials, and we do not ever send out letters begging formoney. But, as everyone knows, it does take money to get the job done. I wanted to take this

opportunity to make you aware of one option for supporting CSE.

Several years ago, we learned that every year most of the major long distance carriers give large sums ofmoney to liberal, anti-God causes. Every time we placed a long distance call, they made a profit and

chose to give to causes that work ceaselessly to erode our country our morals, and our faith in God.

Then we learned of a Christian long distance phone company Lifeline. This long distance company

does not donate money to anti-God causes. Neither do they advertise on programs that are violent orimmoral. Rathet Lifeline donates 10% of your long distance bill to the ministry of your choice.

That's when we switched to Lifeline for our long distance needs. CSE has been using Lifeline forseveral years. 'S7e have found their service fantastic; we have saved money on our phone bill; we have

the assurance that our money is not supporting antlGod causes; and we are able to donate 107o of ourphone bill to the ministry of our choice.

Some peopie have chosen ro support CSE in this way. CSE is using this financial support to donate tapes

to prisons and mission works around the world, as well as to translate more creation material into other

languages. If you would like to switch to Lifeline and support CSE in this manner, you may call (800)

607-5t18 and tell them to designate CSE as your ministry of choice. The switch is free, and if you are

not satisfied with their service within 90 days, Lifeline will pay to switch you back.

POINTS TO PONDER:1. From the information given in Genesis 5

and 11. it is easy to construct a char"t like this.This genealogy is also found in Luke 3 and I

Chronicles 1, however, the spelling varies in

a few instances.

2. Jesus said in Matthew 19:4 and Mark 10:6that the creation of Adam and Eve was "thebeginning" (see I Cor. 15:45 and Flomans5:12-14). By further comparing Exodus20:1 1 ; Acts 13:2O-21', I Kings 2:'1 1, 1 1 :42 andother dates given in lhe Bible and known his-tory, it becomes obvious that the Bible teach-es that Adam was created about 6.000 yearsago, not "billions of years ago" as the text-books now teach.

3. There are scores of scientilic ways toshow that the earth and universe are not "bil-Iions of years old." Here are a few of them:

a.The sun is losing 5 million tons per sec-ond. At this rate several million years agothe sun's gravity would have been muchstronger, pulling the Earth into it.

b. The earth's spin rs slowing down about1/1000 ol a second per day. Because olthis fact we have a" leap second" where asecond is added to the clock every 1O

months. Millions of years ago the earthwould have been spinning so fast that lifeon earth would have been impossible.

c. The distance to the moon is increasing

with each revolution, Since the moon obvi-ously used to be closer to the earth. andthe moon causes the trdes, the tides wouldhave been great enough to drown every-one on earth only a few million years ago.

d. The thln layer of dust on the moon, thesmall amount o{ sediment in the oceans,the rate of heal loss of Earth, Jupiter, loand other bodies in space, the erosionrate of the mountains, the weakeningmagnetic field, the small (though increas-1ng) amount of salt in the ocean, the smallhuman population (compared to thegrowth rate), the rate cave formationsdevelop and a host of other facts from allbranches of science show that the earth isnot billions ot years old. (order video tape#'1 for more information on this subject)

4. Genesis '1 :6-7 tells of a canopy of "waterabove the firmament." Many people believethis canopy provided greaier air pressureand a shretd from the sun's harmful rays.These {actors could explain the great ageand size of man and animals before theflood. After the flood, the canopy was goneand the life spans dropped off rapidly in thenext few generations. (See Gen. 47:9 andorder video tapes #1 , 2 & 4 tor more on this.)

5. The tower of Babel incident took placebefore the days of Peleg when "the earthwas divided" (see Gen. 10:25). The lan-guages, natioilalities and possibly the raceswere created at the tower of Babel. Over thenext few decades people migraled to allparts of the world before the earth was"djvided" (order video tape #4 for more infor-mation on this.)

years as one day." Bishop Ussher caiculat-ed the creation to be 4004 B.C. (our calen-dar is off by 4 years). Could it be that God isworking on a 7000 year calendar for theearth's history and that the 7th day (1000years) is what is referred to in Bev. 20:2-7;lsaiah 1 1 :6-16; 65:17-25? I wouldn't be dog-matic about it but it would be smart to beready for I Thes. 4:l6-18! (see also: Matt.24:37-38: Luke I 7: 26-27 . Heb. 1 'l :7;I Peter 3:20; ll Peter 2:5)

7. Methuselah's name means "when he diesit shall come.'' Could it be that God toldEnoch to name him that? Ihe flood startedwhen Methuselah died. Enoch did not knowwhen his son would die, Maybe Enochstayed so close to the Lord that God justtook him to heaven without dying? (SeeGen. 5:21-24)

8. Adam knew Methuselah for 243 years.

9. Shem knew Abraham. lsaac and Jacob.

10. The first 2157 years of history are cov-ered by three men whose lives overlap(Adam. Methuselah and Shem).

11. How much could you learn in 950years? The wisdom and inventions of thepreJlood era were probably much greaterthan we can imagine.
