Training Initiative and from AIG, Answers in Genesis, to be doing this weekend for us. So tonight is kind of the climax of it all with the Apologetics 201 course and then talking about stem cells and all those controversial subjects that we're really excited to hear his mind and his scriptural application. Well, we've covered a lot of material so far this weekend. And we're down to our last two sessions. How many feel they graduated from Apologetics 101 yesterday? How many remember where Cain got his wife? Is that incest? Why not? Right, we didn't have the genetic-loaded mutations. So tonight we're going to have a whole other series of challenges called Apologetics 21. It's not that the questions are any harder. It's just another series. Then we'll take a short break again. And then we're going to go into that talk called Cloning, Stem Cells, and the Sanctity of Human Life. So I want to go ahead and get started. Here, our first challenge. Teaching creation is too divisive. We should keep to the main doctrines. I get this comment from many pastors in this country. They won't invite somebody and talk about creation because they say it's simply too divisive and they don't want to be divisive. They forgot to read about the things Jesus did. So let's see how we're going to handle this. We'll start with 2 Timothy 3, 16, 17. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and it is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. Now notice this first part here. It says all Scripture, not some of it, That means those pastors who say we shouldn't teach creation or other parts of the Bible, they are being disobedient to God's Word. And then it says it's all profitable for doctrine, for instruction. Why? So that we can be thoroughly equipped. Those churches are not thoroughly equipping their people as God commands. Now Jesus certainly had some controversy in his life. Let's take a look at this. Jesus called the scribes and Pharisees hypocrites. He used some name-calling. Not that that justifies us to go out and call people names. But let's see what the apostles had to say about that. Then came his disciples and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended after they heard this saying. In other words, Jesus offended them. Wow. Then look what Jesus says. But He answered and said, Every plant which My heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted up. Let them alone. They be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into a dish. Jesus did not compromise at all. He never compromised. Jesus also had to say something in John chapter 5 verse 46 and 47. And Jesus makes this statement. For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how should ye believe my words? What did Moses record? the first books of the Bible, which includes the creation account. And here's Jesus saying, if you don't believe that, you won't believe Him either. Then we can take a look at Genesis and the Gospel. The Gospel means good news. Good news. Now here's John 3, 17. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. So there's the good news. Jesus Christ came to save. But I want to show you something about the Gospel. Let's go to the central part of the Gospel. Jesus Christ. That is God's solution. Jesus Christ is God's solution. It is how He acted to save us. This is the central core of the Gospel. Jesus Christ. And we see that in 1 Corinthians 15, 3 and 4. For I delivered unto you, first of all, that which I also received. How that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. Now I have a question. Why did that have to take place? Why did Jesus have to go to the cross? See, we're in the gospel right now. I'm asking that question, why did he have to go to the cross? Well, that takes us, folks, back to the book of Genesis. In other words, if you don't believe Genesis, you do not have a full gospel. You cannot answer that question why. And here's part of the answer to that why. It's called God. God's creation was perfect. And since He's the Creator, He sets the rules. This is why we are accountable to Him. And because He's the Creator, this is why we call Him Lord. See, it takes us back to creation. So there's two components to the Gospel. But we still have to answer more of that why. Remember, the central core is Jesus Christ was God's solution. Solution to what? Us. The problem. You see, we're the problem. It's called the fall. Sin. Separation from God. This is why we die and why we need a Savior. In other words, the first two components of the Gospel are in the book of Genesis. Now there's a fourth component. It's called the response. How do I take part in this salvation? And we see that in Ephesians 2, 8 and 9. For by grace are ye saved through faith, that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. In other words, folks, it's not what we do. It's what's already been done through Jesus Christ on the cross and His resurrection. That's how we take part in it. It's through our faith in Him. Folks, that is the gospel. That answers the question, why and how do I take part in this? Let me show you that in picture format. How many like pictures? This will put all four components. We have a perfect creation. God finishes six days of creation and pronounces it very good. Then comes the fall. And because of the fall, we have death, disease, pain, and sufferings. And then the entire rest of the Bible after Genesis chapter 3 is about God's plan of redemption. In other words, the first three chapters of Genesis is the reason the entire rest of the Bible had to take place. So what do we think about people saying, no, I don't want to teach. Creation is too divisive. They just missed the gospel, didn't they? It is foundational for understanding the Gospel creation. In other words, what part of the Gospel should we not teach? We have a lot of churches out there either distorting the Gospel or not teaching the full Gospel. This is a very serious issue we have in the Church today. It's called being obedient to God's Word. All Scripture is God-breathed and it is all good for doctrine and it's all good for instruction so that we can be thoroughly equipped. So that's number one. Almost, almost finished number one. How about this? How about I haven't made up my mind yet and I'm just going to be neutral on this issue? How's that sound? How about we just be neutral? That way we can avoid the conflict. You know what neutrality is when it comes to God's Word? It's called surrender. You can hang a sign out there, First Church of the Lukewarm. That's what surrender is, folks. That's neutrality right there. You want to know what Jesus had to say about neutrality? He that is not with me is against me. And he that gathers not with me scattereth abroad. Jesus did not allow for neutrality. Either you're with him or you are against him. He is the creator of all things so if we don't accept the creation we have just denied the works of Jesus Christ That's a serious issue So that's one how about this one the Bible does not teach how old the earth is well, we talked about a day being a day and It has a number of the word day. It's bound by evening and morning. The days of creation were literal days. But does it really tell us how old the earth is? Does it give us any idea it's only about 6,000 years old? And the answer is, yes. But where? Well, let's take a look at this. The thing's called hermeneutics. What is hermeneutics? The study of the interpretation of written text. A method of interpreting Scripture. That's how we interpret Genesis 1. We stick to the guidelines of how we interpret words. Keep them in context. In other words, the word day, bounded by a number, bounded by evening and morning, and then we take a look at Exodus 20, verse 11, where he says, in six days, where God wrote it down. In that context, folks, the word day is a literal day. But does that tell us 6,000 years? Not necessarily. So we have number of the day, evening and morning, ten commandments. All that gives us the information is the day was a literal day, not millions of years. But let me show you where it does give us an age. Let's go to Genesis chapter 5. And let's look at the genealogies there. Because what we see there is the most unique set of genealogies anywhere in the Bible. What do we see there? It gives us this kind of information. Tells us when the person was born, when the next person in the timeline was born, how long they lived, and when they died. That is all the information you need to determine if there's any missing names there. And when you look at this, there are no missing names in those genealogies. But I'm going to show you how great God does things. It would not make any difference if there was any missing names. Because when God does something, He does it perfect. Because when you line these first names up, what we see is this. Adam was living at the same time as Noah's father. And Noah was living at the same time as Abraham's father. Their lifespans overlap. It wouldn't make any difference if there's any missing names. You're going to come up with the same age time frame there. So let's take a look at this. Let's add this up. We know that the time from today back to the time of Jesus Christ is about 2,000 years. We also know that the time from Jesus back to Abraham is about 2,000 years. So the only time in question now is from Abraham back to Adam. And the Bible shows that in the genealogies That is also about 2,000 years. We add all that up, we get an age of the earth about 6,000 years. Wow, that doesn't leave much wiggle room. Yes, there is, Mike. How about if there was millions of years before Adam? Millions of years of geologic time before Adam came on here. Can't have it either, folks. God made it very explicit, there is no geologic ages before Adam. Where did he say that? In the Gospel of Mark, chapter 10, verse 6. Jesus Christ made this statement, but from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. What is Jesus telling us here? That man and woman were on this planet from the beginning of the creation, not after millions of years. That is where we get an age of the earth about 6,000 years. But Mike, haven't the scientists proven the earth is old? Folks, it doesn't matter what the scientists say they've proven because you cannot, I'll repeat that, you cannot prove the age of this earth. It is beyond the limits of science. Because all those dating methods have to be based on assumptions. Because the age of the earth is a historical thing. We were not there to see it. We have modern science we use. We do some good science. But it all ends up as a matter of interpretation of the evidence. It is not a fact. And this is where we have people in the church crumbling before the world. Oh, the scientists have proven it. Therefore, we have to change the plain reading of Scripture. That's the problem we have in the church. It's called, they lack biblical authority on this issue. And where do we find many of those people? professors in our Christian colleges and universities. Well, let's go to a different kind of challenge. I was just challenged with this one up in Canada. America was not founded upon biblical principles. Is the Bible used in our Constitution? No, not really. We don't see the word Bible. But the principles are there. So you're correct. The principles are there. Let me show you some things about our foundation here. A little history lesson. Was the Bible important to make in America? Our Declaration of Independence. All men are critical that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. In other words, folks, we have certain rights coming from God. And we need to know how to protect those rights coming from God. Because they're gradually being taken away. So right there we see our founding fathers, in our Declaration of Independence, believed in a Creator. They believed all men are created equal. Not that they always followed these principles, but this is what they stated. They believed our rights come from God, and they believed the government's purpose is to preserve and protect these God-made rights of God-made man. That is right from our documents, folks. Cannot be denied. Let's look at some more. are educational heritage. The laws and statutes of Harvard College in 1643 stated, let every student be plainly instructed, earnestly pressed to consider well the main end of his life and studies is to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life. I want to make sure you understand, Harvard no longer teaches that. They abandoned Jesus Christ a long time ago. They're what you would call a complete secular university. In 1691, the College of Mary Charter stated that the Church of Virginia may be furnished with a seminary ministers of the gospel. They have now abandoned that also. No longer teach that. In 1701, Yale College was founded to train ministers, but it's no longer ministers of the cross full of Jesus Christ. The first president of Princeton stated, curse be all that learning that is contrary to the cross of Christ. They no longer do that either. What's happened to our education system? They've turned their back on Jesus Christ. and turned to the world. The original public school system in America, when first introduced by Daniel Noe Webster, provided students with a firm biblical foundation. The first textbook printed in America was used to teach reading and Bible lessons. That has now been banned from our public schools. The McGuffey Readers and their children were good, kind, honest, and truthful, taught students morals based on the Bible, a far cry from what we see in the media today. In 1865, Congress approved the motto, In God We Trust, on our coins. The words, In God We Trust, are inscribed in the House and Senate chambers, and then they go about ignoring those very words. On the walls of the Capitol Dome appear the words, The New Testament, according to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Very few people ever see this when they take a tour. The Liberty Bell is inscribed with Abednego's chapter 25, verse 10. On the metal cap of the Washington Monument are the words, Praise be to God. In the Lincoln Memorial, we see the words, God, Bible, the Almighty, and divine attributes. The Jefferson Memorial includes the words, God who gave us life gave us liberty. So was the Bible important in the making of America? Yes, it was. No other religion book was involved, only the Bible. But let's get to this one. We do have to discuss this one tonight. We got to throw a little science in there, don't we? A little bit of science. Haven't scientists proven the earth is billions of years old challenge for here. Have they really done that? Well, we see it in our biology textbooks. It is taught as a fact in our textbooks. We see it in journals and magazines Books dinosaurs we see it on television. The earth is 4.6 billion years old and they teach that as an absolute fact But that is going beyond the limits of science. I So let's look at this. When we find a rock, does it come with a tag saying how old it is? No, it doesn't. So how do we know how old these things are? Well, let's take a look at this. Things change over time, don't they? We grow older and change, don't we? Because if you're 60 years old and look in a mirror, you don't look like you did when you were 20. Things change. Food spoils. If you leave a banana out, For about a week and a half, what happens to it? Gets very brown. And it's still good for making banana bread. Things wear out. Leave a car by the ocean, it's going to rust all by itself. And some elements change too. Talking about elements, we're talking about atoms. They change also. And this is how we attempt to do the dating methods. Some elements actually do change over time. It's a natural occurrence. For example, over time, uranium will change into lead. That's just a natural occurrence. Uranium will change into lead. Over time, the element potassium will change into another element called argon. Over time, we learned yesterday, carbon-14 will change into nitrogen-14. And we call this the process radioactive decay. Radioactive decay is how we do our measurements to help determine how old rocks and fossils are. Now, all those names you saw up there, all those different things, uranium, potassium, carbon-14, here's how we're going to make it easy. The starting element we will call the parent. The ending element we will call the daughter. Does that make it easy? Now we don't have to remember things like uranium, potassium, rubidium, strontium, and all those things. Just need parent-daughter. In this radioactive dating, there are several key considerations we have to look at. Number one, how long does it take for the parent element to decay into the daughter element? Does anybody remember the half-life of carbon-14 from yesterday? 5,730. Exactly right. That's the half-life, 5,700. We don't allow for wrong answers here. I reinterpret. 5,700. 80,000 is a good answer, because that's the maximum time we can actually date anything. So, you were just giving some extra knowledge, so you get extra credit. And we also have to consider, are there any assumptions involved? Two very key considerations. Well, we can be pretty good on how long it takes some of it to decay. But what about this thing called assumptions? Let me give you an illustration of assumptions here to make this easier. Let's suppose behind these doors here I have an hourglass. Those are the things you use in games where the sand falls down the center for timers like 30-minute timers, 5-minute timers, 2-minute timers. There's an hourglass behind those doors and you can't see it. And I ask all of you to take off all your timepieces and step outside for a while. And after a while, I'll tell everybody, come on back in. And for the first time, you see the hourglass. And I ask a question. How long were you standing out there? And some of you could look at that hourglass, see how much sand is on the bottom, calculate how fast that sand is falling, and you might say, Mike, we were standing out there 28 minutes. You know my response might be? All your mathematics is exactly correct, but your answer is wrong. How can that be? You forgot about something called assumptions. And this is exactly how the radiometric dating works, folks. How do you know there wasn't some sand already on the bottom there? You did not see this hourglass until you came back in. There could have been a lot of sand on there. Maybe you were only standing out there 13 minutes. But see, you assume there was no sand on the bottom, and that could be wrong. You never saw that thing until you got back in here. While you were standing out there, I might have been going tap, tap, tap, tap to make it fall a little bit faster. I do that in games when you're not looking. Why? I like to win. Well, how do you know I didn't open this up and add some sand in or take some out? You don't know that either. See, these are what we call assumptions. If any one of these assumptions is false, then all your math can be correct when your answer can be wrong. So now let's look at radiometric dating. Remember, we're talking about parent-daughter here. Assumption one. They assume they know the initial starting conditions of that rock. They assume when that rock was first formed, there is no daughter element in it at all. That would be like you assume there was no sand on the bottom of that hourglass when you stepped out. Know what we have found? In fresh rocks, there's already daughter element in there. We have seen that repeatedly. That's assumption one. Assumption two. They assume this rock is what they call a closed system. In other words, while that rock was sitting out there for these millions and millions of years, nothing affected it. Do you know what water does? It can just leach right on through there and add and subtract elements. So that's a false assumption. The first assumption was a false assumption. Let's look at the third one. They assume the decay rate has always been constant. In other words, that would be like the hourglass where I tap, tap, tap to make it fall at different rates. So they're assuming the decay rate has never changed. Did you know we can actually change that decay rate in a laboratory? And now we have very solid evidence that in the past the decay rate was much faster than it is today. All three of these assumptions have been shown to be false. That means all their work can be correct, but their answer can be very wrong. Matter of fact, through some of these radioactive decay methods, we now have these radioactive decay methods showing an age of the earth very close to 6,000 years. Wow. Incidentally, that doesn't get reported in the textbooks. Neither do the assumptions. They don't even get brought up in the classroom. Let's take a look at what we call conflicting dates. Because in the textbooks, they call these things exact dating methods. Well, let's take a look at a couple. Sunset Crater, northern Arizona. They used the potassium-argon dating and they dated these rocks at 200,000 years old. In fact, we know when those rocks were formed from the eruption in 1065 AD. A little bit off there, aren't they? Let's take a look at lava flows in New Zealand. The Potassium-Argon dated these rocks at 275,000 years old. But in fact, we know when those rocks were formed from the eruptions in 1949, 1954, and 1975. Again, very off on the date age. Mount St. Helens. Rocks were formed in 1980. And they dated those rocks to be 2.8 million years old. These are the things they're not going to tell you in the textbooks. Let's go to the Grand Canyon. All the way down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, Cardenia basalts. These are supposedly the oldest rocks in the Grand Canyon. Now, a group of research scientists went down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, took samples of these oldest rocks, took them to the evolutionist lab. Instead we do date these rock samples. Now what they did not do was fill out the form where you put in there what's the expected age. So we didn't bias the experiment. We didn't fill out the form. Just how old are these things? And they dated these rocks by five different methods. And they came up with five very different ages, ranging from hundreds of millions of years of difference in age. That alone invalidates the entire process. But you see, that never gets in the textbooks. All they see is the date they choose. And the date they chose here was 1.07 billion years old. That's the one they chose. Why? We had no rhyme or reason why they chose that one. Then, that same group of research scientists went to the top of the Grand Canyon to get what are supposed to be the youngest rocks in the Grand Canyon, took them to the same lab, did not fill out the form, and said, date these rocks. And the youngest rocks in the Grand Canyon were dated to be 1.34 billion years old. Do we see a problem with this dating method? Very big problem. It is they are not absolute dating methods In other words Every time we know when a rock was formed We never get the correct age never and if we never get it when we know a rock will form how could we trust it when we don't know when the rock was formed and In other words, the reliability of this radiometric dating is very close to zero, folks. Very close to zero. But you know, there are many evidences of a young Earth. Too much helium and granite rocks. That's where we get an age of about 6,000 years. Carbon-14 ratio in the atmosphere. I wrote all about that in the Right Answers book. Gives an age of the Earth much less than 30,000 years. Carbon-14 and coal and diamonds shouldn't be there. We talked about that yesterday. Too much sodium in the oceans. Rapid disintegration of comets. What's a comet? Big dirty ice cube. Which means every time they go around our solar system, they lose some of their mass. If this solar system is billions of years old, folks, they shouldn't be there anymore. Spiral galaxies. Much like our Milky Way galaxy. After so many revolutions, they lose their spiral shape. That means they can't be 10 billion years old, folks. They wouldn't have that spiral shape. Sediments in the ocean. Decay of the Earth's magnetic field. Radio halos and polonium. Population statistics. Recession of the moon. Does that scare anybody? The moon's receding from us? Well, that looks pretty scary. Are we going to lose it? It's actually receding about 4 centimeters a year. Not too much to be worried about, folks. But if you extrapolate that back to about 1.4 billion years, the moon's in contact with the earth. That means it can't be 4.5 billion years old, folks. So all of those are just some of the scientific evidences that support a very young earth. An earth way too young for the evolutionists. How many of these are in the textbooks? Zero. What does that say about our education system? We forgot about education, didn't we? We're into indoctrination. The history of time, thousand, not billions. You see, it's the Bible and science that agree with the young earth. It is only evolution that does not agree with the young earth. J. Lucas, pastor, Grace Community Church, in his book, Ask Them Why, If only I had known then what I know now. If someone had taught me how to defend my beliefs, I would have had the courage to speak up. I've heard that so many times from people. Why didn't somebody ever teach me the truth? Who here is going to teach the next generation the truth? That was pretty easy, wasn't it? That is the end of physics for the whole weekend. How's that sound? No more physics. I know you're disappointed, Tom. How about this one again? We should focus on Jesus and the New Testament. Creation is not an important issue. Very similar to one of the ones we have, but I want to show you something very interesting here. I want to show you that if you don't get the book of Genesis, you will not get the book of Revelation. Now, I'm not going to talk about any eschatology here. That's not what I'm here to do. What I want to show you is the relationship of the book of Genesis to the book of Revelation. That's what I'm going to show you. Genesis. We've already seen that Genesis creation is critical to understanding the Gospel, but now it's going to be critical to understanding the last book. So, we'll start with Genesis. I'm going to show you what happened in Genesis, and then we're going to see the correlation in the book of Revelation. In Genesis 3, the curse is announced. In Revelation 22, the curse is removed. In Genesis 3, we toil for food. In Revelation 22, we have an abundance of food. In Genesis 3, death for all. In Revelation 21, no more death. In Genesis 3, we have coats of skin. Revelation 7 and 19, clean linen. Genesis 3, the tree of life is denied. Revelation 22, tree of life is supplied. Genesis 3 again, we are banished from paradise. Revelation 22, entrance into heaven. Genesis 3, redemption is promised. Revelation 5, redemption is accomplished. Genesis 6, evil is everywhere. Revelation 21, evil is excluded. Genesis 3, angels block the way. Revelation 21, angels show the way. Do you see the correlation? If you do not accept Genesis as literal history, what are you going to do with the book of Revelation then? Throw it away also. They're so closely tied together that they must be taken. Genesis has to be taken as literal history. Last challenge. Let's go to the last challenge here. Then we'll have some time for questions. Why do you believe the Bible? Why don't you believe other religion books and other religions? Why do you believe the Bible? The incomplete answer is this, God wrote it, I believe it. That's not a good answer, folks. Not at all. Because if I'm Muslim, I can say, Muhammad wrote it, I believe it. Or John Smith wrote it, I believe it. What's the difference? They can use the same thing we do. So, God wrote it, I believe it, is not a complete answer, folks, and it's not going to help anybody. Let me show you a technique for answering this challenge. Because I do get this challenge. And how I start this challenge is I'm going to set Christianity apart from every other religion in the world. That's how I'm going to start. I'm going to show Christianity is different from every other religion. Why? Because every other religion in the world emphasizes what man must do to be saved. Christianity emphasizes what God has done to save us. In other words, the difference is called do and done. That separates Christianity from every other religion on this planet. So I've made that statement. Now, let's go from there. Why do we believe the Bible and not other religions? What makes Christianity different from other religions? Well, here's where we're starting to make another difference. It's called grace. Grace. What is grace? Grace is God giving us blessings we do not deserve. Then there's this other thing called mercy, God withholding judgment, which we do deserve. So right now I'm starting to show some what? Characteristics of God. One thing I will not do, and I caution you not to do, is talk about their religion. That is not what the challenge is. The challenge is, why do you believe the Bible? Don't go off ridiculing their religion. Don't talk about their religion, because they probably know it better than you, and you're going to get yourself in trouble. The question is, why do you believe the Bible? This question is begging for you to do evangelism, not criticize. So, why do I believe the Bible? Because the Bible agrees with reality. Every area of science, the Bible agrees with. The Bible also answers the question for me, why we die. And when you talk about the Bible agrees with reality, you can go into any area you want. You can say astronomy. Well, the Bible taught the stars are too numerous to count. The Bible gives us an answer for where the original matter came from for this universe. The Bible tells me how life originated because nobody can do it scientifically. So the Bible agrees with reality. See, just give a couple there. Then Here's where we start really bringing it home now. The Bible tells me I have a personal God. He is the living God. I've been calling by name. That makes Him a very personal God. He's a God of love. Romans 5, while we were still dead in our sins, God loved us. He loved us so much that His Son took our place on the cross. Took the suffering and agony upon Himself. That's how much He loves us. We have a God of love. We have a God of patience. He doesn't want anyone to perish. But He's also a God of judgment. And we've seen He has judged the world once already. And He will continue to judge. But He's a God who cares for me. Cast all your cares on Him. Do you see what we're doing? We're giving somebody who God is. They may never see this God. Because these other religions are entrapped in some other false God that requires them to do all these type of things. And then, He's a God of mercy. That's who my God is. And then you finish this way. Would you like to know him? That's how we answer the question. It's an evangelistic question. Why do you believe the Bible and not other religions? Talk about why you believe the Bible. Christianity is different. It's not by my works. It's by what my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has done for me. I can trust Him because the Bible agrees with reality. And He's a God of mercy. He's a God of love. He's a God who cares for me. He's a God I can talk to directly. Would you like to know Him? That separates us from any other. People need to hear who God is. He's not some God standing up there waiting for you to stumble. He's a God who cares for you and wants all to come to a saving knowledge. I would encourage every one of you to practice that because it is such a strong evangelistic message because the world doesn't know who the living God is and what he's like and what an opportunity you have to bring this up. And when you get really good at this, you can kind of coach the other person to bring up the subject. I used to do that at Microsoft at lunchtime all the time. In the conversation, I'd talk to them and almost goad them into bringing up the subject. And then I could talk all about it. But that's who God is. Okay, the resource table will only be open until the end of, until we start the next talk. Then we're going to pack things up. But if you haven't gotten the answers books, make sure you get those. They're easy to read. Lots of challenges. Make sure you get the children's answers books. Discerning Truth. Learn all about logical fallacies. You can take just one a week. Just get one a week and start memorizing it. And then when you get into conversations, you'll find out when you get into this discussion, Creation and Evolution, people are consistently using logical fallacies. And you can catch them on it. And the Apologetics DVDs. the four power questions we did yesterday. And we also have the cloning stem cell DVD out there. So we have lots of materials out there. So, does anybody have a question on anything we've covered or anything about my grandchildren now? That gets you bonus points. Anybody have a question before we take a short break here? Yes, sir. Thank you for that question. Is evolution really a scientific theory? Well, what they teach now is evolution is both a fact and a theory. Well, folks, it cannot be a fact because we can't observe that. But also, a scientific theory must be observable, must be repeatable, and make accurate predictions. Therefore, it is not a scientific theory. I always refer to it as either an apotheosis or a model. And that's where we should be putting it. We need to train our youth to, when they raise their hand, could you tell me about the model of evolution? Could you tell me more about this model of evolution? See, they've given it, they're trying to give it more respect than it deserves. And we fall into that too often. Great, thank you for that. So, let's go ahead and take a break.
