The Genesis Code Page #8

---

My dad was in Alaska

on another one of his

get-rich schemes.

He disappeared, my mom and I,

we prayed every night.

Turns out he

fell into a crevasse

and they didn't pull his body

out until next spring.

Now tell me,

what good did praying do?

Marc has something he wants to

show you later today.

He works at

the science museum.

You know where that is,

right?

Yeah.

Think you could come by there

tonight at 7:
:30?

You too, Shane, and you

can bring Chase and Tyler.

It's not really

a very good day.

Come on, man.

There's nothing more we can do

at court.

He's really

excited about this, Blake,

and I honestly think you'll find

it very interesting.

Will...

Will Lin be there?

Yes, Shane,

Lin will be there.

She's helping Marc

with his story.

Come on, Blake, let's do it.

Don't be sitting around

the rec room all day

watching reruns of "Rawhide. "

We'll be at

the dinosaur exhibit.

It's right when you go in the

entrance, just-

Will you please come?

All right.

Kerry:
Sorry I'm late,

everybody.

Marc:
Now that

everybody's here,

I think we can go ahead

and get started.

I think everybody knows

my father and my sister,

and these are my housemates

and physics pals,

Lin Chen and J.T. Bochner.

I've also invited some others

here to join us.

This is Professor Campbell,

he is the Instructor of

Paleontology.

And Dr. Tolley,

he's the head of

the Department of Astrophysics

and Cosmology.

Why are we here right now?

How do you spell

"astrophysics"?

So a few days ago,

my sister asked me to check

something out for her.

I was a bit skeptical

at first,

but for the sake of the harmony

of my family, I agreed.

Like in most families, we

don't see alike on many things.

My father is a man of the cloth

and my sister followed him

in that way of thinking.

I myself took a different path

and got wrapped up in science,

physics, to be precise.

- We still love him, though.

- Kind of.

Thank you very much.

And everyone generally

accepts the fact

that science and the Bible are

at odds with most major issues,

especially when it comes to

creation of the universe.

Genesis says the Earth

and the universe were created

in six days.

Science says it took some

15 or 16 billion years.

The Bible seems to be at

complete odds with science.

It's just another religious

mythology spun by the ancients

to explain the unknowable.

Dad, what is the biggest doubt

most people have

when it comes to

believing the Bible?

It's Genesis.

The idea that the heavens

and the Earth

were created in six days

when all of science says

otherwise.

Follow me.

J.T.:
So I think I'm like

a lot of people.

I believe in a creator.

But the conflict between

the Bible and science

has kept me from a total

commitment to my Jewish faith.

Those first six days, the first

31 verses of the Bible,

you just can't get past.

You either accept the Bible

or believe science.

What's the answer?

Is it six days

or 16 billion years?

- You can't have it both ways.

- Until now.

Like I said,

Kerry brought me an idea

and Lin and J.T. worked

with me on it

and we asked Professor

Campbell and Dr. Tolley

to go over what we found.

Something we're now calling

the Genesis Code.

I think that now

we can show you.

Drumroll, please.

I think the answer to

the question of,

is the Bible right

or is science right?

And it's that both are

absolutely correct.

- This ought to be good.

- oh, it is.

- So now...

- Let's play some football!

Yes.

Dad, okay, you be the

quarterback, right there.

Dr. Tolley, you be the left end

of the offensive line.

Chase, you're the center,

Tyler, you're the right end

of the line.

Lin, you be there

and be the running back.

And the defensive line,

Professor Campbell,

Shane and Kerry, over here.

Kerry, milady.

You'll be the left end

of the line here, okay.

Been wanting to get a crack

at you, Tyler.

Go for it, Kerry, come on.

Blake, you be the middle

linebacker

and J.T., my man,

you are the safety.

okay, this is good,

this is good.

okay, Dad, so this is gonna-

- Peyton.

- Peyton, sorry.

It is going to be a running play

to the right,

so you're gonna

pitch it or lateral it

over here to Lin, okay?

Here we go- hike!

Peyton Manning takes the snap.

oh, now he's trying to turn

the right corner,

and oh, my gosh,

what happened?

oh, personal foul

on number Kerry.

Uh, I will take out

the red handkerchief

and I'll review

that, please.

okay, well, while the referees

go under the hood,

Let's take a look

at what happened.

What happened is Kerry punched

Tyler in the heart.

I mean the play itself.

Dad!

- I'm sorry, Peyton.

- Thank you.

Describe the play.

Well, I lateraled

to my running back

and she tried to make

her way around

the right side of the line.

And Blake, you were

the defensive linebacker.

What did you see?

I tried to run around the left

end of our line.

You saw it going to the right

and you saw it going

to the left.

So who's right?

We both are, we both described

what we saw.

You saw the same events

in different ways, why?

I saw it from

my perspective on defense

and Reverend Wells saw it

from his on offense.

This is an example of two

different frames of reference.

This is an essential part

of what we are discussing

here today.

Hey, Marc, I'm gonna need

an X-ray, I can't make it-

How about some Gatorade instead,

my friend, okay?

Now...

Boom.

This is Paddington.

The car is Paddington's

frame of reference.

From where Paddington sits

driving along the road,

trees and buildings,

everything along the highway,

all appear to be moving

while he is stationary.

This is Albert.

He is standing

along the road.

He is in a different frame

of reference than Paddington,

who is in his car.

From Albert's frame

of reference,

it is Paddington who is moving.

Is this idea of two different

frames of reference,

with one frame accelerating

in reference to another,

where all this becomes

interesting?

Time itself is actually

different for observers

in different

frames of reference

when one frame is in motion

relative to another.

Right.

And at lower normal speeds,

the difference is imperceptible.

But, as the speed approaches

the speed of light,

the impact is overwhelming.

Follow me.

So you're saying the greater

the speed within

one frame of

reference to another,

the slower time passes in

the accelerating frame?

Yes!

And gravity has the same

effect on time as does speed.

See, time passes more slowly in

a given frame of reference

where the force of gravity is

greater than in another frame

with weaker gravity.

Now, how about the universe?

Scientists used to believe the

universe was "steady state. "

Go outside at night

and look up at the stars.

There they are.

Right where they were last night

and the night before

and the night before that.

Steady state- the universe

had always been here

and always would be, forever.
