The Genesis Code Page #12

---

for about 150 million years.

Then, 65 million years ago,

another ELE,

this one known as

the KT extinction,

killed off the dinosaurs

and opened the way for

mammals and birds to become

the dominant land animals.

Then the first hominids.

Lin:
And finally,

human beings, as we know them

today, appeared.

Now, isn't it true that at

the time Genesis was written,

there was no awareness of any

of the scientific stages

that you and

Dr. Tolley described?

Well, at that time, Kerry,

most people thought the Earth

was flat.

Today, the cosmic clock

continues to tick

to measure the passage of time

at the level of the cosmos.

And as the universe

continues to expand,

the rate at which it measures

time continues to slow.

But that doesn't mean anything

to us now.

From the moment God breathed

the neshama of life into Adam,

when God gave man his soul,

we on Earth have denoted

the passage of time

by our Earth-based clocks.

Lin:
Where one second

is part of one day

which reflects the rotation of

the Earth on its axis

and a year that marks the

completion of one Earth circuit

of the sun.

You said God told the story

of Genesis to Moses

or that it was

written down by others

inspired by the word of God,

but what if there

just isn't any God?

The idea that Moses or anyone

else at the time

Genesis was written,

a time that Bob reminded us,

just a minute ago,

when most people believed

that the world was flat,

could have created a story

that so perfectly reflects

what science has now proven

to be true,

all on its secular own-

To believe that,

for me, anyway,

is harder than

to believe in God.

But isn't the same thing as

the old day-age argument?

No, not really.

The day age or concordist

interpretation

is an attempt to

rationalize the Genesis story

and reinterpret the words that

the original authors used

when they presented

the six days of creation.

There is no science

to back that up.

I mean, what we are talking

about here today

is a result of applying

proven science to the issue.

This is a scientifically derived

answer to the question

with no spin or

subjective interpretation.

So you see, science and its

15.75 billion years

and the six days of

Genesis are in complete accord.

Science has proven what

religious leaders

have been unable to prove

for thousands of years.

Spoken like the scientist

you are, Marc,

but in reality,

science has just caught up

with the truth of the Bible.

Science has simply deciphered

the Genesis Code.

I think what I find

most amazing about this

is the uncanny brilliance of

biblical Genesis,

which is presented

to us in such a way that

mankind has to evolve

to its current level

before we're able to understand

the story

as it was originally written.

Um... question.

Are we gonna have a test

on any of this?

'Cause I don't

know if I'm gonna-

No.

No, Tyler, no test.

That's it.

So if you guys have

any questions,

we would be happy to

try to answer them for you,

but if not, I just thank you

for coming

and I bid you a good day.

( applause )

Boom!

Ha!

okay, okay.

okay, I haven't the foggiest

idea what he's talking about,

but it sure gives me a lot to

talk to that Mensa girl about,

you know what I'm saying?

Time dilation, time dilation,

she'll think I'm brilliant.

This was so-

Chase:
I think I'm gonna go take

Albert home.

Do you think you

can meet me in the morning

at the rec center?

- Say 9:
30?

- Sure.

Thanks for coming,

by the way.

See you.

Been here all night?

Are there any changes?

No.

Her prognosis is the same.

Her vital signs are

deteriorating.

I know it's hard,

if not impossible for you

to accept it.

It might be for the best.

Kerry:
So I was actually

looking for Blake.

Shane:
Yeah, so was I,

but he's not here.

My story's due tomorrow

and I sort of have, like,

a few things I have

to wrap up,

- so maybe you can help me.

- I can try, what's up?

Well, actually,

there's probably a few things

I'm not gonna put

in the story

'cause I know

Blake wouldn't want me to.

Like what?

He told me that he wanted to be

world chess champion,

but he doesn't

really play chess.

He told you that, huh?

I assumed that he was just

being facetious,

but he sounded

so serious when he said it.

I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to

back off that one, Kerry.

If he wants to tell you more,

he's gonna have to do it, okay?

What about his mom?

What other hope is there?

I don't think so.

- Have you seen her?

- In the hospital?

No, no.

He hasn't taken you

to see her?

He's asked me to, but...

I grew up in a rough part

of Detroit.

I had a little

brother who was shot

during a drive-by.

He was in the hospital for

six months before he died

and I was there every day.

Every single day.

And it felt like the walls

were suffocating me.

Hospitals-

Hospitals are just something

I can't deal with.

( rock music playing )

The church secretary

said you were down here.

She said it would be okay.

oh, absolutely,

glad to have you.

You want to give it a try?

That's a little above

my pay grade.

( grunts )

Jerry, push.

Push, push, push.

That's a lot of weight.

What is that,

400 pounds?

And it feels

every pound of it.

I was actually hoping I could

talk to you for a few minutes.

In private?

No, no,

it doesn't have to be.

Well, Bob and I are

about to take off.

Would you care to join us?

- I wouldn't want to intrude.

- oh, you wouldn't be at all.

You- you ever done

any shooting?

Some.

Great, you'll join us,

then.

You'll have a great time.

Come on.

Not bad.

Yeah, well, my dad taught me

.22 and a. 410

when I was seven

and I kind of worked my way up

to the heavy stuff.

I was thinking about what

Marc presented today

and it makes

a lot of sense to me.

- But?

- Not his conclusions.

I mean, to my engineering mind,

that makes total sense.

I guess I'm just reappraising

my doubts about the Bible.

But somehow that just doesn't

feel right.

Yeah, that's it.

I've always thought to find

your own faith,

it had to occur from within,

something from your heart.

So finding it through

some cold scientific analysis

just feels false

or phony to you?

Exactly.

Blake, how somebody finds

their faith

is different for each person.

It's...

It's finding that faith

that matters,

not necessarily

how it comes about.

I guess I'm just trying to

rationalize it all

instead of

just believing in it.

Well, if God didn't

want us to think,

he wouldn't have given us the

power of deductive reasoning.

There are many,

many different ways

that people come to faith.

Sometimes it's through their

parents or their upbringing.

Sometimes they have some big,

traumatic experience

and sometimes it's

through the intellectual path.

I know you- you feel like you

should have this big epiphany,

but sometimes it's a lot more

mundane than that.
