Is Genesis History? Page #11

Natural selection ... What's that?

Does the kind of creative potential ...

... we need to get all this?

Natural selection is basically ...

... to kill things that are not suitable for the environment.

So if you're a finch in the Galapagos ...

... and you have a really small peak ...

... and the only food you have available are ...

... really large, hard seeds, you will die.

And that's exactly what we observe.

So we can see how they change the sizes of finch peaks ...

... throughout the generations in the Galapagos.

But they're still finches.

Birds remain.

The notion that natural selection can generate ...

... all the diversity we see, has not been demonstrated.

What we usually see with natural selection it is ...

... that natural selection makes many subtle tunings.

Here we have these oryx,

beautiful creatures and very, very pale colors.

Extension wild oryx is right in the southern end ...

... Sahara Desert.

So you can see that their coloration makes sense.

If you were one of a very dark color ...

... would be very easy for predators found him,

so they end up being of these beautiful and light colors.

And that's an example of where the selection ...

... take a change and become adaptation.

And that brings us back to the notion ...

... of that design truly exquisite in the beginning ...

Oh, I think so. Absolutely.

It has provided these creatures the ability ...

... to survive and change to their advantage.

Absolutely.

So the ability to change your color ...

... this way, to fit into an environment,

That must be integrated into the system before you start.

Now, do not get me wrong,

natural selection and random variation ...

... They can do amazing things.

The changes we see are very surprising.

But we see a type changing to another type.

All we see are the changes that happened within a created kind.

So we have a tree flidos with all cats in it.

Canids tree with all the dogs on him.

There is a tree ursids with all the bears in it.

It is the tree of equines with all horses in it.

Each individual type created has its own individual tree,

So you end up with something like an orchard or forest.

As a scientist, I think what you're saying is ...

... that the paradigm of Genesis responsive to all this data.

Ultimately I think it does because it embraces ...

... both similarity and difference.

Now, as I said, there are many questions ...

... they are still there ...

... but I'm pretty sure, because what our paradigm can explain,

I am quite sure that these answers will be found.

After we left the zebras,

we headed gorillas.

Todd wanted to talk about the question of human evolution.

Todd, we see it all the time, a new discovery, new skulls,

new skeletons that supposedly solidify around here.

What you see there?

Yeah, well, I have some here in my backpack.

Oh, a skull.

So this is a Neandertal.

A very low forehead, and we have very high foreheads.

The face, the middle of the face, is out ...

... but at the same time, well, he looks very human.

So that's the Neandertal.

Would you help me hold it?

Yes.

We have others who are very different.

This is Australopithecus africanus.

You can see that really has nothing against.

It is completely leans back.

A cranial capacity very, very, low, snout protrudes much ...

... so the face is tilted forward.

What are you doing with this?

I mean, there is much more that we could show, many more photographs,

many skulls over and saw them all together you realize that ...

... there are many differences between them.

Well, so it goes.

All kind of created we were talking,

I can show over and over again with a lot of research ...

... I can find discontinuity between humans and nonhumans.

So this falls on the human side.

This Neandertal here is one of us.

This is not it.

Is different.

But this would be just one more of those varieties among living things ...

... that God created in the beginning and that survived the flood in the ark.

So when we see the Neanderthals,

we are seeing a human,

but it is a human that as we see in dogs,

There are many varieties of dogs ...

We have many varieties of people.

So even looking at the gorilla,

we can see the obvious differences between him and us,

and one of no small importance is that he is there ...

... and we can go home when we finish.

So these differences are very big, right?

Yes absolutely.

The image of God implies the idea of being ...

... God's representatives on Earth.

Part of this is to have dominion and authority,

a spiritual quality that we ...

... and we do not share with animals like this.

It is obvious that we are different from the rest of creation ...

... because we were made in God's image.

We are the only ones who have created zoos ...

... to contemplate the beauty of God's animals.

And we are unique in record time ...

... and want to know our own history.

But where does our concept of time?

It was a beautiful night.

Danny took me away, out of town,

and I stayed up late to show ...

... something I will never forget.

Oh wow, so now you do buy a telescope.

You know, we have some purposes that were given to the stars.

In Genesis 1:
14-19, the fourth day of creation,

mentions that the stars and other bodies ...

... celestial mark time,

reign over night, to be a sign, seasons, festivals and others.

People have used the stars to mark the passage of time.

every night patterns are repeated.

They are repeated every year.

They returned in their season.

There is very regular here.

What about the design of the sun and moon?

There are a couple of things I can say about it.

On rare occasions, the moon passes between us and the sun.

It does not happen very often, and when it happens ...

... the moon barely covers the sun.

If the moon were a little smaller ...

... or a bit further, it would fail to do so.

If larger or were closer to us,

cover it completely.

So these eclipses are spectacular and unusual,

and this is the only planet that matter,

and is the only planet that happens.

And you have to think and that's the way the world works ...

... for no apparent reason ...

... or that the world is so for a purpose and design.

For me, this speaks of creation.

Okay, here on our heads,

we have the great square of Pegasus.

It is this big box.

Leaving Pegaso is a blurred spot along there.

You see?

That's the Andromeda galaxy.

It is the most distant object you can see with the naked eye.

It's a bit beyond, we think it is,

a little more than two million light years away ...

... and it contains a couple hundred thousand million stars.

Danny Okay, that brings me to a big question ...

... a big question in the minds of many people.

If we have stars that are so far away,

million light years away,

and if the Earth is as young as we ...

... then how can the starlight can be here?

Yes.

We call this the problem of travel time of light ...

... and I will try to raise it in a slightly different way.
