Is Genesis History? Page #10

You see, I like to say that the genome is four-dimensional.

We have a dimensional chain called DNA.

And if you want to continue with that,

you have to write all the letters of DNA,

all three billion letters,

and then you have to draw lines or arrows ...

...from one place to another...

... because this part off this part,

this part interferes with this one, this part increases this one.

It is a huge network of interactions in two dimensions ...

... and that's how you have a two-dimensional genome.

Let me pause for a second because it is ...

... really amazing, think about this ...

... because I think in terms of a computer program ...

... which is pretty static.

The instructions are there.

But you're talking about a program ...

... it is being reprogrammed himself.

It is modifying its own instructions.

Oh, and wait until you get to the fourth dimension,

because there is a third dimension before.

The information in this first dimension, the linear chain,

It must be organized so ...

... that when folded in three dimensions, still works.

Oh, that's amazing.

Genes that are used together ...

... next to each other in three dimensional space.

Are you saying that once this is bent,

It is almost like having a new set of instructions?

Yes, a new level of information that whoever ...

... he programmed the first level needed to understand ...

... what would happen to work on the third level.

You said there is another dimension.

Oh yes, the fourth dimension is time.

And how does that work?

The genome changes shape as time passes.

Maybe you ate something that was bad for you ...

... and your liver say, I can get rid of that toxin ...

Now chromosomes in the liver will change shape,

to expose a new protein gene, make copies of it,

and build a new protein that can ...

... remove this toxin and when no longer needed,

they change shape and bend again.

dynamic programming, the three levels change ...

... on the fourth level, time.

Rob, that goes far beyond anything we know ...

... even in our most complex software systems ...

... that almost goes beyond our imagination,

think that someone could look at that ...

... and say that everything happened by chance.

Yes, and that gives glory to God.

So is.

You can not build something like that one thing at a time.

You need to work in all its intertwined complexity ...

... in four dimensions.

It's not something you can do ...

... one letter at a time by natural selection.

I should have been there.

Yes, in the same way we talk about ...

... the atmosphere here at the coral reef.

If you do not have all these pieces ...

... the interlocking puzzle,

you do not have this ecology.

The system would fall apart if you simply remove ...

... a couple of very important factors that is there.

They have to be together or not happen.

So not only do we have this interdependence,

This mutualism, so to speak, at the genetic level,

but we do even more complex saying ...

... that same mutuality exists on a higher level as well.

Yes.

In fact, the whole world has mutualism.

It is impossible to think that all this could have happened ...

... only by a series of slow processes ...

... over thousands of millions of years.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

It is clear that the world in which we live is ...

... incredibly interdependent, from the smallest biological system ...

... to the largest ecosystem.

There are complex relationships and mutual everywhere.

I realized that the six-day creation makes more sense ...

... from an engineering perspective.

You need everything to work together while ...

... so that everything works properly.

And that's exactly as Genesis says that God created it.

Rob also said that God created animals ...

... with the ability to change and adapt to their environment.

Could it be that this ability to change ...

... you have been confused with evolution?

While Todd Wood and I were walking through the zoo,

we saw incredible beauty and amazing design ...

... wherever we looked.

I realized the great diversity among some animals ...

... like the amazing similarity of others.

As a biologist, what do you see ...

... when you look at all these creatures?

Yes, when I see this,

these lions specifically, I see cats.

And all the other cats have here at the zoo,

all have a fundamental felinity in them ...

... it is really apparent.

It is really apparent when you start playing, right?

You see them playing with some sort of ball or anything and they are ...

Just like a cat.

They look like a cat.

Scientists classify this in a family called Felidae.

And I understand that felines are ...

... representatives of a single type / family created.

So continuity, there is similarity ...

... so significant that I would say that all these animals have fallen ...

... a single pair of creatures that were in the ark ...

... and eventually generated ...

... all different kinds of cats that we have today.

So instead of a random accident,

it seems that all these species are ...

... a really elaborate design.

Oh, absolutely.

And it's not just a design like God intended ...

... and he created the lion.

It is that God created something that could make a lion.

So it's more like a multi-purpose tool or a Swiss Army knife where ...

... you have all these pieces you can get ...

... when you need it, but it's one thing.

Give me some other examples of types / families created.

Yes, then you have to grizzly and polar bear.

They are all members of the / family of bears.

You have ducks, swans and geese.

Thing with the type of dogs is really very interesting.

All this creature that looks like a wolf ...

... and we can bring in a few hundred years ...

... many different races.

Well, Todd, that's something fascinating,

think about what God was doing ...

... when He brought two of each type / family.

What do you think was going on there?

Oh yeah.

He did not have to bring every little variety in the ark.

So when you do the math ...

... and, okay, we do not know exactly how many ...

... species created in the ark ...

... but maybe a few thousand, and are small.

Most animals are quite small.

So you have plenty of room, plenty of room literally.

And all the diversity we have now ...

... It is within these two of each type / family.

Well Todd, we're looking at the zebras ...

... and all are unique and yet all these creatures,

... there is so much complexity and diversity.

How do you explain the standard story,

the conventional paradigm?

Well, they would use evolution, right?

Millions of years, random variations,

all things that are alive today, the cactus, the zebra ...

... the grass is here, everything is related.

We all come from a common ancestor who lived ...

... thousands of millions of years ago ...

... and through the process of mutation and genetic variation ...

... and natural selection, hence we get ...

... all we have today.
