Iamreferring to the general theoryof evolution which believesthese five major events tookplace without God:! 1. Time, space, and mattercame into existence bythemselves.! 2. Planets and stars formedfrom space dust.! 3. Matter created life byitself.! 4. Early life forms learnedto reproduce themselves.! 5. Major changes occurredbetween these diverse lifeforms (i.e., fish changed toamphibians, amphibianschanged to reptiles, andreptiles changed to birds ormammals).Observedphenomena:Mostthinkingpeoplewillagreethat:1.

“In fact, evolution becamein asense ascientific religion;almost all scientists haveaccepted it, and many areprepared to ‘bend’ theirobservations to fit with it.”—H. S. Lipson,FRS, Professorof Physics, University ofManchester,UK in “APhysicistLooks at Evolution,” PhysicsBulletin, vol. 31 (May,1980),p. 138Make sure to see Dr.Hovinds new video series,Dr.Hovind answers hiscritics.There are nearly 1000“anti-Hovind” web sites.See and hear Dr.Hovindsresponse in this eight hourseries.

Universe Not “Billions of Years Old”Facts &Proof FromScienceThe general theory of evolution is based on several faultyassumptions. (Note: It is important to understand by this statementthat we are not disputing simple variations that some call“microevolution,” whose micro-changes are often observed butnever lead to afundamentally different kind of plant or animal.)Thefollowingassumptionsofevolutionarytheoryareeasytoprovefalse:•theuniverseisbillionsofyearsold,•lifespontaneouslyarosefromnonlivingminerals,•mutationscreateorimproveaspecies,•naturalselectionhascreativepower.Inthissectionwewilldealwiththefirstoftheseassumptions.The others will be dealt with elsewhere. If, in fact, it could bedemonstratedthattheuniverseisnotbillionsofyearsold,allotherargumentsaboutevolutionbecomemeaninglessandunnecessary.Inchildren’sfairytales,wearetold:“Evolution is afairy talefor grownups. This theory hashelped nothing in theprogress of science. It isuseless.”—Professor LouisBounoure, FormerPresident, Biological Societyof Strasbourg, Director ofthe Strasbourg ZoologicalMuseum, France“Evolution is unproved andunprovable. We believe itonly because the onlyalternative is special creation,and that is unthinkable.”—Sir Arthur Keith (He wrotethe forward to the 100thanniversary edition ofDarwin's book, Origin ofSpecies in 1959)frog+magicspell(usuallyakiss)=princeInmodern“science”textbookswearetold:frog+time=princeThesamebasicfairytaleisbeingpromotedintextbookstoday,butthenewmagicpotioncitedistime.Whenthetheoryofevolutionis discussed, time is the panacea for all the thousands ofproblemsthatarise.InnearlyalldiscussionsanddebatesaboutevolutionthatIhaveheldatuniversitiesandcolleges,Iasktheevolutionistshowcertainthingscouldhaveevolvedbychance.Theiranswerisnearlyalways“Givenenoughtime...” Timeistheevolutionists’god.

Just One Proof of aYoung Earth Settlesthe Case AgainstEvolution“This notion of species as‘natural kinds’ fits splendidlywith creationist tenets of apre-Darwinian age. LouisAgassiz even argued thatspecies are God’s individualthoughts, made incarnate sothat we might perceive bothHis majesty and His message.Species, Agassiz wrote, are‘instituted by the DivineIntelligence as the categoriesof his mode of thinking’. Buthow could adivision of theorganic world into discreteentities be justified by anevolutionary theory thatproclaimed ceaseless changeas the fundamental fact ofnature?”—Stephen Jay Gould,Professor of Geology andPaleontology,HarvardUniversityLet’s imagineweare exploring an old goldmine, and we find aCasio Databank watch half buried in the mud on the floor of themine.Supposealsothatthecorrecttimeanddatearedisplayedonthewatchanditisstillrunningsmoothly.ThenimaginethatItellyouthewatchhasbeenthereforover onethousandyears.“That’simpossible!”yousay.“Thatwatchcouldnothavebeenthereforathousandyears,andIcanproveit!”“HowcanyouproveI’mwrong?”Isay.“Well,foronething,thisminewasdugjust150yearsago,”yousay.“Okay,” Iadmit, “you’re right about the thousand years beingtoomuch,butthewatchhasbeenherefor150yearsatleast!”“No!” you say. “Casio didn’t make the Databank watch untiltwelveyearsago.”“Allright,”Isay.“Thewatchwasdroppedheretwelveyearsagothen.”“Impossible!”yousay.“Thebatteriesonlylastfiveyearsonthatwatch,andit’sstillrunning.Thatprovesithasbeenherelessthanfiveyears.”Whilewestillcan’tproveexactlywhenthewatchwasleftthere,youhavelogicallylimitedthedatetofiveyearsatthemost.Youhaveeffectivelyprovenmyinitialstatementabout1000yearswrong.Thelargernumbersprovenothinginthisdebate.EvenifIweretocarbondate the mud or the plastic in the watch to try to prove that it isthousands of years old, my data would be meaningless.

Even if afew indicators seem toshowagreateragefortheearth,ittakesonlyONEfacttoprovetheearth is young. We cover many points on this topic in seminarpart#1oftheSeminarSeries.TheBibleteachesthat:Godcreatedtheuniverseapproximately6000yearsago,exnihilo(outofnothing)insixliteral,twenty-fourhour days. Then, approximately 4400 years ago, the earth wasdestroyedbyaworldwideFlood.Thisdevastating,year-longFloodwasresponsibleforthesedimentlayersbeingdeposited(thewaterwasgoingandreturning,Genesis8:3-5).AsthemountainsroseandtheoceanssankinaftertheFlood(Psalm104:5-8,Genesis8:1),thewaters rushed offtherisingmountains intothenewocean basins.This rapid-erosion through still-soft, unprotected sedimentsformed the topography we still see today in places like the GrandCanyon. The uniformitarian assumption—that today’s slowerosionratesthattakeplacethroughsolidrockarethesameashasalways been—is faulty logic, and ignores catastrophes like theFlood. (2 Peter 3:3-8 says that the scoffers are“willingly ignorant”oftheFlood.)SeeSeminarvideo#4and#6formoreonthistopic.9Creation Science Evangelism •29 Cummings Road •Pensacola, Florida 32503

ThefollowingBibleversestellwhen“thebeginning”was:“There is no doubt thatnatural selection is amechanism,that it works. It has beenrepeatedly demonstrated byexperiment. The question ofwhether it produces newspecies is quite anothermatter.No one has everproduced aspecies by mechanismsof natural selection. Noone has ever gotten near it.And most of the currentargument in neo-Darwinism isabout this question: how aspecies originates and it isthere that natural selectionseems to be fading andchance mechanisms of onesort or another are beinginvoked.”— Dr. Colin Patterson, onthe subject of Cladistics, in aninterview with BBC, March 4,1982.

Testing the Theory ofEvolution“The more statisticallyimprobable athing is, the lesswe can believe it happened byblind chance. Superficially theobvious alternative to chanceis an intelligent Designer.”—Dr.Richard Dawkins,Department of Zoology,Oxford University,in “TheNecessity of Darwinism,” NewScientist, April 15, 1982, p.130“The [evolutionary] originof birds is largely amatter ofdeduction. There is no fossilevidence of the stages throughwhich the remarkable changefrom reptile to bird wasachieved.”—W. E. Swinton, BritishMuseum of Natural History,London, in Biology andComparative Physiology ofBirds, vol 1, p. 1Alterations Needed toChange aReptile into aBird:•Avariety of feathers•Growth of wings•Strengthening of certainmuscles•Higher blood sugar levelsand body temperature levels• Total revision of respiratory,nervous,and reproductivesystems.•Lightening of bones•New digestive system•New “instinctive” behaviorsQuestionsforEvolutionistsThe test of any theory is whether or not it provides answers tobasic questions.

Everything we observe inthe universe verifies the lawsof thermodynamics. Theuniverse is wearing down, notwinding up.Evolutionists assume thatadding energy (open system)will overcome the 2nd law ofthermodynamics.1. The universe is closedsystem2. Adding energy isdestructive without acomplex mechanism toharness the energy.The Japanese added lots ofenergy to Pearl Harbor in1941 and did not organizeany thing.The sun’s energy willdestroy aroof, house, paintjob...Only avery complexmolecule called chlorophyllcan harness the sun’s energy.One leaf cell is more complexthan acity.PhysicsTheFirstLawofThermodynamicsThe First Law of Thermodynamics states that matter andenergy can neither be created nor destroyed although theymaybeconvertedfromoneform toanother. This naturalprocesscan be seen in the world around us. Ice melting is one example ofmatter changing from one form to another, asolid into aliquid.The ice may change physical properties, but the mass before thereaction remains constant with the mass after the reaction. Thislaw supports the Biblical view of creation, requiring a specialmiracle from God to account for all the matter and energy in theuniverse. Evolutionattempts to credit theBig Bang with thismiracle while denyingit’s violating the mostbasic law of theuniverse— somethingcannot come fromnothing.The Second Law of ThermodynamicsThe Second Law of Thermodynamics simply states thateverythingtendstowarddisorder. Ifatruckcarryingastackofbricks hits abump in the road causing the bricks to fall off, thebrickswouldnotfallintheirpreviouslyorderedstate. Theywouldfallrandomly;andentropywouldincrease,illustratingtheSecondLaw of Thermodynamics.

Evolutionistscontrivesillyexcusesandreasonstoignorethisfundamentallawofphysicsbecauseitcontradictstheirpettheory.The evolutionist’s “opensystem” excuse to believe theSecond Law ofThermodynamics does notapply to Earth is silly.27Creation Science Evangelism •29 Cummings Road •Pensacola, Florida 32503

Aren’t caves millions of years old?"In other words, it's naturalselection or aCreator. Thereis no middle ground. This iswhy prominent Darwinists likeG.G.

Stalactites, recognized because they "stick tight" to theceiling of most limestone caves, are deposits of calcium carbonateformed by the dripping of mineralized solutions.As the mineraldeposits build up on the cave floor, stalagmites are formed.Occasionally, the connecting of the two will create a columnextendingfromfloortoceiling.Themonitoringofmanystalactitesandstalagmiteswithinthelastcenturyhasshowntherateofgrowthtobemuch quickerthanwhat many textbooks teach.

Astheremainsof plants and animals are covered by sediment, fossils arecreated.Thecompressedremainsarepreservedandconvertedinto minerals, leaving an imprint in stone. In order for anorganism to be fossilized, the remains must be coveredquickly;otherwise,thenaturaldecayingprocessbegins.Evolutionistsbelievetheprincipleofuniformity,implyingthat small changes over extended periods of time broughtabout significant changes. They have long used fossils toargue for their supposed old age of the earth's strata.However, fossils form quickly under special conditionsinvolving rapid, immediate burial in mud just like Noah’sfloodwouldhaveprovided.Rapid fossilization, promoted by Biblical creation, easilyexplainstheexistenceoffossils. Becauseoflocalfloodingandvolcanic activity around the world, not every fossil can bedated back to Noah's day. However, there are many fossils,such as polystrate fossils, that can only be explained by aworldwide flood. As the waters were “going and returning”(Genesis 8), great amounts of sediment began to settle intolayers.Thiseventallowedampletimefortheremainsofmanyplants, animals, and humans to be buried quickly andfossilized. Polystrate fossils are found extending throughmultiple layers of sediment. Many trees have been foundfossilized in a vertical position through layers of coal,sandstone, and other sediments. Certainly, the trees wouldhave decayed if millions ofyearshadoccurredbetweenthedifferent strata.

While not totallyuseless, dating methods are overrated. Willard Libby said thatcarbondatingwasonlyaccurateforobjectsafewthousandyearsold.Cosmic radiation strikes our atmosphere, changing theelementNitrogen(N 14)toCarbon14(C 14).ThisC14isradioactive(canbedetectedbyaGeigercounter).Thisradioactivecarbonismixedinwiththenormalcarbonintheatmosphere,generallyintheformofcarbondioxide(CO 2).Plantsintakecarbondioxideandmakeitpartoftheirtissue.Animals eat the plants and the CO2becomes part of their bodytissue.WhentheplantoranimaldiesitstopstakinginnewCO2.Radioactive carbon is very rare in the environment today(only .0000765%) and becomes even more rare as it decays intosimpler components. About half of the C14will break down(decay) into simpler components in about 5,730 years. This iscalled the half-life of C 14.In two “half-lives” (11,460 years),onlyonefourthoftheoriginalC willstillbeinanobject.ByusingthenumberofclicksontheGeigercounterasaguide,scientistsshouldbeabletodeterminetheageofanobject.Becausetheatmospheretoday will produce about 16 clicks perminute for each gram of carbon, the Geigercounter should click 8times per minute if asample is 5,730 years old and 4clicks perminuteifitis11,460yearsold.While Carbon 14 dating sounds goodsofar,severalfaultyassumptions,whicharelisted on the following page, underlie theprocedure.

Living penguins have beencarbon dated as being 8000years old! (See frequentlyasked questions for more wilddates obtained by carbondating.)At least six different radiometricdating methods areavailable. The assumed age ofthe sample will dictate whichdating method is used becauseeach will give adifferentresult.For example: when dinosaurbones containing carbon arefound, they are not carbondated because the resultwould be only afew thousandyears. Because this would notmatch the assumed age basedon the geologic column,scientists use another methodof dating to give an age closerto the desired result. All radiometricresults that do notmatch the preassigned ages ofthe geologic column arediscarded.Wrong Assumptions in C14Dating Methods1. Atmospheric C14is in equilibrium. This assumption iswrong.IthasbeenestimatedthattheC14intheearth’satmospherewouldreachequilibrium(theformationratewouldbeequaltothedecay rate) in about 30,000 years.

General science questions:1. Q:Why do creationists fight against science?EarthinDecember*NOT to scaleEarthinJuneA:2. Q:A:Your question has me confused. All major branches ofscience were started by creationists. There has never beenone advancement in any field of science that the evolutiontheory has helped. The evolution theory is useless. Idon’tknow of any creationists who fights against science. Icertainly love science and taught it for 15 years. Mostcreationists that Iknow love science and only fight againstevolution. You may be confusing the evolution theory withscience. Some think the two go together. This is acommonmistake due to the intense evolution propaganda campaignof the last 50 years. It would help if you watch my videotape#4 for more on this. There has never been any evidencethat any kind of plant or animal has ever been able to createitself or produce any other kind of plant or animal. We haveseen thousands of changes within the created kinds but thatis not evolution. Please don’t accuse me of being againstscience. Iam only against the false teaching of evolution asscience.If the earth is only 6000 years old, how is it we can seestars that are billions of light years away?This is one of the most commonly asked questions anddeserves an honest answer. Below is first ashort answerthen amore thorough answer. There are three things weneed to consider when answering the starlight question.1.Scientists cannot measure distances beyond 100 light yearsaccurately.2. No one knows what light is or that it always travels thesame speed throughout all time, space and matter.3. The creation was finished or mature when God made it.Adam was full-grown, the trees had fruit on them, thestarlight was visible, etc.Let me elaborate on these 3points. First, no one can measurestar distance accurately. The furthest accurate distance mancan measure is 20 light years (some textbooks say up to100), not several billion light years. Man measures stardistances using parallax trigonometry. By choosing twomeasurable observation points and making an imaginarytriangle to athird point, and using simple trigonometry,man calculates the distance to the third point. The mostdistant observation points available to an earth boundobserver are the positions of the earth in solar orbit sixmonths apart, say June and December.

“Facts do not cease to existbecause they are ignored.”—Aldous Huxley“The collective needs of nonhumanspecies must takeprecedence over the needsand desires of humans.”—Dr.Reed F.Noss, TheWildlands Project“Ateam led by Nail R. Tanvirof the University ofCambridge in England used atwo step method to estimatethe [Hubble] constant. Firstthey observed atype of“standard candle”-starsknown as Cepheid variablestofind the distance to thespiral galaxy M96… You haveto be very careful about[drawing conclusions] becauseall of the [Hubble constant]measurements have hugesystematic errors.”—Science News Sept. 9,1995 p. 166“Radiocarbon is forming 28-37% faster than it is decaying"— R.E. Taylor et al.,American Antiquity,Vol. 50, No.11985 pp. 136-140“Living mollusk shells weredated up to 2300 years old.”—Science vol. 141, 1963 p.634-637“Basalt from Mt. Etna, Sicily(122 BC) gave K-AR age of250,000 years old.Dalyrmple, G.B., 196940Ar/36Ar analysis of historiclava flows.”—Earth and PlanetaryScience Letters, 6-47 55. Seealso: Impact # 307 Jan. 1999based. Radiation from thesun strikes theatmosphereof theearthallday long. This energy converts about21 pounds ofnitrogen intoradioactive carbon 14. This radioactivecarbon14slowly decays backintonormal, stablenitrogen. Extensivelaboratory testinghas shown that abouthalf oftheC-14molecules willdecay in 5730 years. This is called the half-life.After another 5730 years halfoftheremainingC-14 willdecay leavingonly¼oftheoriginal C-14. Itgoes from ½to ¼to 1/8, etc. In theory, itwould never totally disappear, butafter about 5halflives, thedifferenceis not measurable withanydegreeofaccuracy. This is why most peoplesaycarbondatingis only good for objects less than 40,000 years old.Nothingon earthcarbon dates in the millions ofyears,becausethescopeofcarbon datingonly extends afew thousandyears. WillardLibby inventedthecarbon dating techniqueintheearly 1950’s. Theamount ofcarbon 14 in theatmospheretoday is about .0000765% itis assumed therewould be thesameamountfound in living plants or animalssincethe plants breath CO and animals eatplants.2Sincesunlightcauses theformation ofC-14 in theatmosphere,andnormalradioactive decay takes itout, theremust be apoint where theformation rateand the decay rateequalizes.This is called the point of equilibrium. Let meillustrate: Ifyouweretryingtofillabarrel withwater buttherewereholesdrilled up theside of the barrel, as youfilled the barrelitwould begin leakingouttheholes. Atsomepointyou wouldbeputtingitin anditwouldbeleakingout at thesamerate.You will notbeable tofill thebarrel past this point of equilibrium.In thesameway theC-14is beingformed and decayingsimultaneously. Afreshly created earth would requireabout30,000 years fortheamountofC-14in theatmospheretoreachthis point ofequilibrium becauseit would leak outas itis beingfilled. Tests indicatethat theearthhas stillnotreached equilibrium. Thereis more C-14 in the atmospherenow than therewas 40years ago. This wouldprovetheearthis not yet30,000 years old! This also means thatplants andanimals that lived in thepast had less C-14 in them than doplants and animals today. Just this onefact totally upsets dataobtained by C-14 dating.Thecarbon in theatmospherenormally combines withoxygen tomakecarbon dioxide (CO). 2 Plants breatheCO2andmake it part of their tissue. Animals eattheplants and makeitpart of their tissues. Avery smallpercentageofthecarbonplants takein is radioactiveC-14. When aplant oranimaldies it stops takingin airand foodsoitshould not be abletogetany new C-14. The C-14 in the plantor animal will beginto decay backtonormal nitrogen. Theolderan object is, theless carbon-14 it contains. Onegram of carbon from livingplantmaterialcauses aGeiger counter to click 16 times perminuteas the C-14 decays. Asamplethat causes 8clicks perminutewould be5,730 years old (thesamplehas gonethroughone half life). and soon.

“In the last two years anabsolute date has beenobtained for (the Ngandongbeds, above the Trinil beds),and it has the very interestingvalue of 300,000 years plus orminus 300,000 years.”—Birdsell, J. B. , HumanEvolution (Chicago: RandMcNally,1975), p. 295“One part of Dima [a babyfrozen mammoth] was 40,000,another part was 26,000 andthe ‘wood immediately aroundthe carcass’ was 9-10,000.”—Troy L. Pewe, QuaternaryStratigraphic Nomenclature inUnglaciated Central Alaska,Geological Survey ProfessionalPaper 862 (U.S. Gov.printingoffice, 1975) p. 30“The lower leg of theFairbanks Creek mammothhad aradiocarbon age of15,380 RCY,while its skin andflesh were 21,300 RCY.”—Harold E. Anthony,“Natures Deep Freeze,”Natural History, Sept. 1949, p.300 See also: In theBeginning Walt Brown p. 124Althoughthis techniquelooks good atfirst, carbon-14 datingrests on at least twosimpleassumptions. They are, obviously,assumingthe amount of carbon-14 in theatmospherehasalways been constant, and its rateof decayhas always beenconstant. Neither of these assumptions is provableor reasonable.An illustration may help: Imagine you found acandleburningin aroom, and you wanted todeterminehow longitwas burningbeforeyou foundit. You could measurethepresentheight ofthecandle(say, seven inches) and therateofburn (say, an inchperhour). In order tofindthelengthoftime since the candle was litwewould beforced tomakesome assumptions. We would, obviously, have to assumethatthecandlehas always burned at thesamerate, and assumeaninitial heightof thecandle. The answer changes based on theassumptions. Similarly, scientists do notknow that thecarbon-14 decay rate has been constant. They do notknowthattheamount of carbon-14 in theatmosphereis constant.Present testingshows the amount of C-14 in theatmospherehas been increasingsince itwas first measured in the1950’s.This may betied in to the declining strengthofthemagneticfield.In addition tothe above assumptions, dating methods areallsubjecttothegeologiccolumn datetoverify their accuracy. Ifadate obtained by radiometric datingdoes not match theassumedagefrom the geologic column theradiometricdatewill be rejected. Theso-called geologiccolumn was developedin the early 1800’s over acentury beforethere wereanyradiometricdatingmethods. “Apart from very ‘modern’examples, whicharereally archaeology, Ican think of nocases ofradioactivedecay beingusedto datefossils.”Ager,Derek V., “Fossil Frustrations,” New Scientist, vol. 100(November 10, 1983), p. 425.

Today’s earthis 70%under water. Therearescriptural and scientific indications thatthepre-flood worldhad greater air pressure, higher percentages ofoxygen andcarbon dioxide, muchmore land(abovesea level), less water(on the earth’s surface), and acanopy of water tofilter outtheharmful effects of the sun.

Ishow someof theevidence for gianthumans on my videotape#2. As forsmarter, you could learn alotin 900years!Plus, Adam camefrom thehand of God fully programmed with languagecapacity and the ability toclassifyor sort items quickly(henamed all theanimals in one day). Adam was around for overhalfofthetimefrom the creation tothe flood, sohis greatknowledge could bespread throughoutthe world.In the last400 years therehas been agreatincreasein accumulatedtechnology. This is not the sameas wisdom orintelligence. Wecan have acomputer because thousands ofmen beforehaveinvented various parts and ideas thatcan beputtogether. Thereis no evidence thatmodern man issmarter than ancientman. Ithinktheoppositeis true. Manyof the ancientstructures indicategreater intelligence insolving problems in alow-tech age. (Seeseminar 7for examples.)As forman gettingbigger, therehas been an increase inaveragesizeover thelastfew hundred years in industrializedcountries due to improved diet, sanitation, medicine, etcbutthis is not tobe confused with evolution. Alsothetrend inbigger peopleis notproofoflong-term growthpatterns. Ifman today is say 8inches taller than averageman duringtheAmerican Revolution 200 years agoit, obviously, would notprove thatman was 80 inches shorter2000years ago or 800inches shorter 20,000years ago! Every agehas seen bothtallpeopleand smartpeople.

If itgoes less than this it willfallback down. This speed is known as the escapevelocity ofearth. If aplanet has stronger gravity, theescape velocity willbeeven greater.The theory behind ablackhole is theidea thatif enoughmassis in onelocation, thegravity would besogreatthattheescapevelocity would be186,000 miles per second sothateven light could not escape. This, of course, is assuming thatlight can beeffected by gravity. Noone has ever seen ablackholesincenolightcould escapeoneif it existed.The problem black holes aresupposed to fix is this: if the bigbangtheory were true, thematter should beevenly distributedin space. Sincematter is notevenly distributed in space(we haveclumps of matter calledgalaxies then zillions ofmiles ofnothingbetween) thebelievers in thebigbangtheoryare tryingtoexplain why. They aretrying to say: “Thereismatter in between the clumps butwecan’t seeit becauseitisin blackholes.” Actually, they arearguing from alackofevidence notfromevidence. This is apoor position tobeinwhen trying to prove your case in acourt of law.Idon’t know ifblack holes existor not, but their existenceisnotproven.10.

Q:A:Should (or can) creation science betaught in thepublicschool system?This is agood question and itdeserves agood answer; however,there are otherquestions thatmust be answered firstbeforethis question can beproperlyanswered.The firstoftheseis: Should wehave apublicschoolsystem?The tenth amendment totheU.S. Constitution says, “Thepowers notdelegated to theUnited States bytheConstitution,nor prohibited by itto theStates, arereserved totheStates respectively, or to the people.” TheinterferenceoftheFederal government in theeducation of children in unconstitutional.Ibelieveif thegovernment was outof theeducationbusiness (as well as welfare andhundreds ofother socialistprograms they havegotten into), many otherproblems wouldbe eliminated and questions likethis would bemoot.Asecond question toanswer is: If wedecide to haveapublicschool system, whoshould run it? This willfurther eliminatequestions about what is taught. If the local community wantstoimparttheir values to the students and they arepayingthesalaries, then their values should be taught.

67Amessage from theAlabama State Board ofEducation.This textbook discussesevolution, acontroversialtheory some scientists presentas ascientific explanation forthe origin of living things, suchas plants, animals andhumans.No one was present whenlife first appeared on earth.Therefore, any statementabout life’s origins should beconsidered as theory,not fact.The word “evolution” mayrefer to many types of change.Evolution describes changesthat occur within aspecies.(White moths, for example,may “evolve” into graymoths.) This process ismicroevolution, which can beobserved and described asfact. Evolution may also referto the change of one livingthing to another,such asreptiles into birds. Thisprocess, calledmacroevolution, has neverbeen observed and should beconsidered atheory.Evolutionalso refers to the unprovenbelief that random, undirectedforces produced aworld ofliving things.There are many unansweredquestions about the origin oflife which are not mentionedin your textbook, including:—Why did the major groupsof animals suddenly appear inthe fossil record (known as the“Cambrian Explosion”)?—Why have no new majorgroups of living thingsappeared in the fossil recordfor along time?—Why do major groups ofplants and animals have notransitional forms in the fossilrecord?—How did you and all livingthings come to possess such acomplete and complex set of“Instructions” for building aliving body?Study hard and keep an openmind.

“The battle for humankind’sfuture must be waged and wonin the public school classroomby teachers who correctlypercieve their role as theproselytizers of anew faith: Areligion of humanity...utilizingaclassroom instead of apulpitto carry humanist values intowherever they teach.... Theclassroom must and willbecome an arena of conflictbetween the old and thenew—the rotting corpse ofChristianity,together with itsadjacent evils and misery,andthe new faith of humanism....”—John J. Dunphy, PrizewinningEssay, The Humanist,Jan/Feb 1983“Great spirits have alwaysencountered violent oppositionfrom mediocre minds.”—Albert EinsteinBible Questions:13. Q:A:Arethere contradictions in theBible?When Iwas anew Christian, someoneshowed me theapparentcontradictionsbetween the creation accounts in Genesis 1and Genesis 2. AccordingtoGenesis 1, God made thetrees onday three, thebirds from wateron day five, and theanimalson day six, allbefore man. But Genesis 2records the creationof trees, animals, and birds from dirt on day six, all after man.This apparentcontradiction disappears when onereads inGenesis 2thatthis chapterdescribes theevents regardingthecreation of theitems in theGarden of Eden only. God knewSatan could comeand say hehad created allthings ifAdamdid notactually witness God’s creativepower. God madeAdam on thesixth day, puthim in the garden, madesometrees togrow beforeAdam, then made 1more of eachoftheanimals sothatAdam could name them and select awife. Therestof theworld was already full ofplants and animals fromearlier in theweek. Seep.39 for more on this.Anotherapparentcontradiction appears in IKings 7:23 andIIChronicles 4, thedescription of thelargebowlcalled thebrazen laver. Accordingto bothpassages, the lavermeasures10cubits (elbow to fingertip, about 18 inches) across and 30cubits around, aratiothat does notequal pi (3.14159…) andappears to be notmathematically valid. However, the10cubitmeasurement spans theinsideof thebowl; thehandbreadththickness of thebrass is includedin the diameter whichbalances the ratiotoequal pi very neatly. Therearenocontradictionsin theBible. This topicis covered in moredetailwithpictures andcalculations on p.38.Somehave supposed acontradiction over the number ofhorses Solomon had. “And Solomon had forty thousandstallsof horses andchariots, and twleve thousandhorsemen.” IKings 4:26, vs. “And Solomon hadfour thousand stalls forhorses and chariots, and twelvethousand horsemen;” IIChronicles 9:25. This is notaproblem. One passagetells of thenumber of horses whiletheother tells ofthenumberof stallsfor horses and chariots. They had ten horses andten men perchariot. Thesameratio is seen in II Samuel10:18, “And theSyrians fled beforeIsrael; and David slew the men of sevenhundred chariots oftheSyrians,” IChronicles 19:18. “ButtheSyrians fled beforeIsrael; and David slew of the Syrians seventhousand men whichfoughtin chariots,” See also: II Samuel8:4, IChronicles 18:4.Anothercommon “contradiction” pointed outby scoffers is,“And those thatdied in theplagueweretwenty and fourthousand.” Numbers 25:9. vs. “Neitherletus commitfornication,as some of them committed, and fellin oneday threeandDr. Kent Hovind • office (850) 479-DINO (3466) •Fax 479-8562 68

Q:A:Where did theraces comefrom?Creation Science Evangelism •29 Cummings Road •Pensacola, Florida 32503Actually, thereis only one race; the human race. Obviously,severaldifferent colors of peopleexiston theearth thathavedistinctivecharacteristics, buttheyarethesamerace. BecauseScripturedoes not state where these differences camefrom,I’m not goingtobedogmaticbut Iwill tell you aboutthevarious theories.Onetheory says thatAdam and Eve weremedium-brown,possibly because theyweremadefrom theearth. Thatmedium-brown coupleproduced all thevarieties ofcolors;theymighthavehad 100children or morewithall the colorsrepresented in thefirst family.Asecond theory says thatthe firstdivision of colors camewhen God put amarkupon Cain (Genesis 4:15) after Cainkilled Abel. TheBible doesn’t say what the markis, but somehave tried to say thatCain becamethefirstblack man. Ofcourse, thattheory only explains two colors and does notconsider the flood bringingthe human raceback to onefamilyIpersonally don’tbelieve this theory either.Athird theory says that NoahcursedCanaan after Noahgotdrunk(Genesis 9:25). Somepeople thinkCanaan became thefirst blackman. Idon’t believe this theory because Idon’tthinkany color ofpeople are cursed and itonlyexplains twocolors. TheBiblesays Canaan shallbeaservant ofservants.Many haveused this versewith their twisted logictojustifyslavery.Thefourth(andIthinkthe best) theory says theraces camefrom theTower of Babel. Genesis 10:20 says, “Thesearethesons of Ham, aftertheir families, after theirtongues, in theircountries, in their nations.” Perhaps all families, countries,nations, and tongues werecreated or developed from thisevent. Maybethecolors were divinely createdat thattime, ormaybe they are just anatural product of asmall group ofpeoplespeaking their own languageand marryingbacktotheir own parentstock. Racialtraits become morepronouncedin asmallinbreedinggroup. TheBibleisn’tclear on thissubject. These fourtheories are theonly ones that Iknow. Iprefer theTower ofBabelexplanation. Iknow theBibledoessayin Acts 17 thatallnations are of oneblood sothere is noreason for anyonetobe aracist.

Q:A:Is thereany scientific explanation fortheopeningof theRed Sea and Moses leadingthe children ofIsraelacrossthebottom?Idon’tknow ofany scientificexplanation atall, Iwouldsayithad to be amiracle. Thereis, however, archaeological supportfor the Biblical account. Archaeologists havebeen lookinginthewrongplace for the last3,000 years for the remains ofPharaoh’s army at theRed Sea crossing. If you lookat amapof thenorthend ofthe Red Sea, you will seethat itsplits intotwobranches. Theleftbranch is called the GulfofSuez andtheright branchis called theGulf of Aqaba: The children ofIsraeldid notcross at theGulf of Suez. They traveledacrosstheSinai Peninsula andcrossed overattheGulf of Aqaba,which is also part oftheRedSea.Ron Wyatt(deceased) was afriend of minefrom Nashville,Tennessee, whoresearched the crossingof theRed Sea. Hefound twostonepillars, oneon either sideoftheGulfofAqaba, erected and inscribed by Solomon tocommemoratetheRed Sea crossing. Across thebottom ofthegulfbetween thetwopillars is apath littered with theremains ofgold-platedwooden chariots and chariot wheels not attached totheirchariots, just as theBible says in Exodus 14:25. God performedamiracleattheRedSea, and thereis evidence of the miracle.Ron’s ministry, www.wyattmuseum.com, has agreat videoon this topic.Is God gettingold?This is an interestingquestion thatreflects acommon humantendency. Peopleoften try toputour human limitations onGod. TheGod of the Bible does nothaveour limitations. Itisdifficultto comprehend God as not beingaffected by time,space or matter like weare. Thereis astory that may helpexplain how God is beyond understanding. Suppose thereweretwoflatpeoplerepresentedby tworectangular pieces ofpaper. Theseflat peoplelived on atabletop. Wewill call themMr. Flatand Mrs. Flatand theplacethey live in and understandis called Flatland. They aretwo-dimensional beings andlive in atwodimensionalworld. They haveno conceptof thethird dimension. They can seeonly one dimension (width) buttheycan perceivetwo, lengthand width; justas humans canseetwodimensions, lengthand width and perceiveathird,depth. (Hence, the term “depth perception.”)Now suppose thatathree-dimensional being(a human)wished tomeetand explain himselftoMr. and Mrs. Flat.

“Will the unicorn be willingto serve thee, or abide by thycrib?Canst thou bind the unicornwith his band in the furrow?or will he harrow the valleysafter thee?”—Job 39:9-10thesameway God is beyond our comprehension. Ephesians3:18-19says, “May be abletocomprehend withallsaintswhat is breadth, and length, and depth, and height; (fourdimensions) And toknow the loveof Christ, whichpassethknowledge, thatye mightbefilled with all thefullness ofGod.” God may existin moredimensions than wecan fullycomprehend now. When we ask aquestion like “is Godgettingold,” weassumethat God exists in timelike wedo. Hedoes not. He exists beyond time, space, and matter; humansare theones stuckin time. SoGoddoes not grow old. Time,space andmatter donot apply toHim or affectHim in anyway. Hecreatedthem all in Genesis 1:1.17. Q:A:When were angels created?TheBiblesays in Exodus 20:11 thatGod madeeverythinginthose six days, heaven and earth and everythingin them. Theangels had tobemade duringthefirstsix days, although theBible doesn’tstatewhen. Several references seem to say thattheangels rejoiced when the earth’s foundations werelaid,theymusthavebeen created earlier in theweek. SeeJob 38:4-7. This passagemay be referringto theangels watching thedry landappear on day threein theoriginal creation or itmaybethey were watchingthe establishingoftheearth’s newcontinental levels after theflood. Idon’t know for sure.18. Q:A:What are unicorns?I’venever found agood answer tothat one. The Biblementionsthis creaturesix times in Numbers 23:22, 24:8, Job 39:9-10, Psalms 29:6, 92:10. Isuspectallthepictures ofhorseswithhorns havebeen soimbedded in ourminds we cannotgetthem out. Scripturementions the unicorn’s greatstrength, aversion toman, and un-trainability. Horses aredomesticanimals thattrain well; reptiles arewildanimalswithsmall brains that don’ttrain well, if at all. If we couldstart freshand read whattheBiblesays aboutunicorns, Ithink wewould find that astocky strongreptilelike thetriceratops or monoclonius would fitthedescription muchbetter. We haveall seen so many pictures of ahorsewithahorn that Idoubtwewillbeable to clear our minds and thinkabout this subject withoutbias. Wewillhaveto waitand askGod thatquestion.71Creation Science Evangelism •29 Cummings Road •Pensacola, Florida 32503

Q:A:When did Satan fall from Heaven?Ibelieve theGenesis account is tobetaken literally justas itwas written. It teaches the world was created in six, twentyfourhour days about6600 years ago; therewas nogap. Therewas noperiod oftimebefore theoriginalcreation. Therewasactually no time. God madetimeas wellas matter and space. Idonot thinkthat Satan fell from heaven untilaboutonehundred years after thecreation. He could not havefallenbefore the creation becausehewas spoken about in the bookof Ezekielas beinggood while in the garden. LookatEzekiel28:13-15, “ ThouhastbeeninEdenthe gardenofGod;everypreciousstone wasthycovering, thesardius, topaz,andthe diamond,theberyl, theonyx, andthe jasper, the sapphire, the emerald,and thecarbuncle,andgold:theworkmanshipofthytabretsandofthypipeswaspreparedinthee inthe daythatthouwastcreated.Thouartthe anointedcherubthatcovereth;andIhave setthee so:thouwastupontheholymountainofGod;thouhastwalked upanddowninthe midstofthe stonesoffire.

TheGarden of Eden wasn’t madeuntil daysix, sothatshoots theGapTheoryfull ofholes right there. Not onlythat, but Jesus said in Matthew 19:4 thatthecreation ofAdam and Evewas thebeginning. Read what itsays: “ Andheansweredandsaid untothem, Haveyenotread,thathewhichmadethematthe beginning made themmale and female. ”Romans5:12 says that there was nodeathuntilAdam sinned, “ Wherefore,asbyone mansinentered intotheworld, and deathbysin;and sodeathpassed uponallmen, for thatallhavesinned. ”Thosewho say thatSatan fellfrom heaven and wipedoutthepreadamic civilization are placingdeathbefore sin. They havejusteliminated theneed for Christtodieon the cross. Therewas nodeathuntilsin cameintotheworld. Exodus 20:11states, “ For insixdaystheLORDmadeheavenandearthandallthatinthemis... ”This is found in themiddleof theten commandments.God made the whole universe in six, literal twenty-four hourdays, including time, including the angels, and everything thatis.WhatdayHemadetheangelsisnotknownsincetheGenesisstory is mainly telling events on the earth. The angels wereprobablymadeonthefirstday,beforeGodlaidthefoundationsof the earth (see Job 38:4-7 and Gen 1:9). Genesis 1:31tells useverything was very good at the end of the creation week, soSatan had not fallen yet. Satan did not fall until after the creation,maybe even one hundred or so years later. All that weknow is Adam was one hundred thirty when Seth was born.That is the first date given in Scripture. Before Seth, they hadCain and Abel, but dates are not given.

The same thing happens with Shem, Hamand Japheth even though Japheth is the elder (Gen. 5:32). 2.Abram made several trips to and from Haran so Terah was 70when Abram was born. 3.

TheCreation accountin Genesis 1records thatamistthat wentforthand watered thefaceofthe wholeground. Genesis mentions noother precipitationuntiltheflood brought rain for 40 days and 40 nights. Manypeopleteachthat rain never fellbefore theflood. Althoughthatis probably true, itcannotbetaughtdogmaticallybecausetheBiblesimplydoes not mention thesubject.Possibly, if thecanopy of water that is mentionedin Genesis1:6 and 7increased theair pressure, as many thinkit did, rainwas notpossible.Itmay bethatNoahwas preachingthatrain would come outofthe sky (somethingthat had never happened), and thepeoplelaughed just liketoday when Christians preachthatJesus will comeoutof thesky(somethingthathas neverhappened) tocatchupallbelievers in Christ. SeeMatthew24:37, Luke17:26 andIThess 4:16.22. Q:A:How did Noahtakecareofallthoseanimals on theark?Itis reasonabletoassumethat all types of animals on the Arkwereyounganimals becausethey would weighless, eat less,and sleep more. Many animals becomedormant, lethargic oreven hibernateduringstormy weather. Also, afterthefloodtheywould livelonger toproduce more offspring. Nooneknows for sure how many animals wereon the ark. Limitingitdown to twoof each kind does not mean therewere twoofeach species or variety that wehave today. Thereseem tobeabout8000 basic kinds of animal in the world.Throughtheinstructions thatGod gave or throughthewisdom of Noah he was given theability to provideawateringmechanism todispersewater totheanimals throughoutthearkand possibly even afood distribution system. InGenesis 1:29-30, theBibleteaches thatbeforetheflood alltheanimals werevegetarians sothere was not aproblem with, forexample, thelion tryingtoeatthelamb.

“Tosuppose that theeye…could have been formedby natural selection, seems, Ifreely confess, absurd in thehighest degree.”—Charles DarwinThe Origin of Species byMeans of Natural Selection orThe Preservation of FavoredRaces in the Struggle for LifeCharles Darwin 1859 p. 217All in whose nostrils was thebreath of life, of all that wasin the dry land,—Genesis 7:22And of every living thing of allflesh, two of every sort shaltthou bring into the ark, tokeep them alive with thee;they shall be male and female.—Genesis 6:197:14-15, 22). Idonot believethatallthevarieties of insectswereon the Arkbecausethey breathe throughtheir skin anddonot havenostrils. They could havesurvived on floatingmatter or by burrowingin themud. Some of the insects mayhave been on theArkin thefur of theanimals orin nooks andcrannies oftheark; theBible does not teachthatthey hadtobeon board.24. Q:A:How did animals travel from allovertheworld togettotheArk?This question assumes that theworldbefore theflood waslikethe world is today withanimals specialized for certainareas. Todaytheworld is 70% water and theoceans separatethecontinents. Also, some animals only livein afewselectedlocations. TheBibleteaches thatbeforetheflood thewaterwas gathered into oneplace(Genesis 1:9). There was probablyoneocean andmuchmorelandmass. Also, if theclimatewasmoretemperate animals couldlive in alltypes ofplaces whichmeans Noah did not have togogather animals from allovertheworld. In fact, the Biblesays that the animals cametoNoah(Genesis 6:20).25. Q:A:What aboutdinosaurs? Did they livewithAdam andEve? Did Noah takethem on theark?Thedinosaur question is dealtwith for over 2hours on myvideotape #3ofthecreation seminar series. Tosummarizebriefly: Dinosaurs weremade the sixthday withtherest oftheanimals. Noahtook them on theark(probably youngones). They have always lived withman. After the flood manydied from theclimatechanges and from man’s hunting. Theywerecalled dragons for many centuries. (Theword dinosaurwas justinvented in 1841.) Afew smalldinosaurs may still bealivetoday in remoteparts ofthe world. Therehavebeen over20,000 reported sightings of dinosaur likecreatures in thiscentury. Afew pictures and stories are on my web site.26. Q:A:It would take4.4 billion cubic kilometers of water tocover Mt. Everest. Wheredid thewater comefrom tofloodtheearth?This question assumes that thepre-flood world was liketheworldis today. Itwouldonly take oneinchofwater tocoverMt. Everest if theearth weresmooth. TheBiblestates clearlythatthe water was 15 cubits over thetallestmountain.Seashell fossils havebeen foundon topof mountain ranges allovertheworld. The top of Mt. Everestis covered withsedimentaryrockcontainingpetrified,closed clams. Since clamsopen as soon as theydie, they had tohavebeen buried alivetobepetrified in theclosed position. Therewas definitely aworldwideflood. TheBible says in Psalm 104 thatas the floodended themountains lifted up andthevalleys sankdown andDr. Kent Hovind • office (850) 479-DINO (3466) •Fax 479-8562 76

Today’s mountain ranges arewellabovesea level, butthis was not the case beforethe flood. Iftheearth weresmoothed out, thatis themountains presseddown and theocean basins lifted up, thereis enough water intheoceans right now tocover theentireearth 8,000 feet deep(approximately1½miles).All of the water ran off rapidly throughthesoft sedimentsintotheocean basins duringthelastfew months oftheflood.This would explain therapidcarving of features such as theGrand Canyon and the Bad Lands. Seevideo#6 for lots moreon this.27. Q:A:Duringtheflood how did the freshwater fishsurvive?This question assumes theoceans were saltwater duringtheflood like they are today. Ibelievetheentire world waslargely freshwater. Todayabout30% oftherain waterwashes intotheoceans, bringing mineral salts with it. Theoceans are gettingsaltier every day. Today’s oceans are about3.6% salt. Between thesalts washing in from ground waterand thesalts leachingin from subterranean salt domes, theoceans could havegonefrom fresh water to3.6%in the 4400years sincetheflood. Iftheearth werebillions of years old,theoceans wouldbemuchsaltier –liketheDead Sea or GreatSaltLake.Manyanimals haveadapted tothe slow increase in salinityoverthelast 4400 years. We now havefresh water crocodilesand salt water crocodiles that are differentspecies but probablyhad acommon ancestor. Acrocodile! This is notevolution.Itis only variation. Changing from afreshwatercrocto asaltwatercroc is not amajor changecomparedto what theevolutionists believe. They thinkitchanged from arock to acroc! Thatwould beamajor change!Severalyears ago, aman in Minnesota told me thathehadtwolarge aquariums in his house, one freshwaterand theother salt water. He wondered ifhecould mix thefishtogether sohefigured outhow toslowly raisethesaltcontentin the freshwateraquarium alittleeach week for 10 yearsuntil it was 1.8% salt. At the sametime, he was lowering thesaltcontentin thesalt water aquarium to 1.8% salt. After10years hemixed all the fish together. Hetoldmethey adaptedfine.Noah had no problem with drinkingwater duringthefloodand thefreshwater/saltwater problem does not exist.Attemptingto forcetheway the worldis today ontothequestions involving thepre-flood world is acommon problem.II Peter3says the scoffers of thelast days willbewillinglyignorantofhow God made theheavens and theearth(theoriginalcreation), and theflood.77Creation Science Evangelism •29 Cummings Road •Pensacola, Florida 32503

“We’ve got to ride the globalwarming issue. Even if thetheory of global warming iswrong, we will be doing theright things—in terms ofeconomic policy andenvironmental policy.”—Timothy Wirth, FormerU.S. Senator (D- Colorado)“All those trees of life withtheir branches of ourancestors, that’s alot ofnonsense.”—Mary Leakey,Associated Press Dec. 10,199628. Q:A:Miscellaneous Questions:29. Q:A:Ifthere was really aworldwide flood where areall thebones ofthehumans thatdrowned?Ibelievetherearefew human fossils for several reasons.1. God made theworld full ofplants and animals but only twopeople. 1600 years later theworld was stillfull of plants andanimals butstillnotfull of people. There werenot as many ofthem tobe drowned.2. Men aresmarter than animals (that is, some men), so hewould figureout away to avoid drowninguntilthelastpossibleminutebymakingmakeshift rafts or holdingtofloatinglogs and tendto bedeposited on toprather than inthesediments. Therefore, hewould notfossilize. Forexample,millions ofbison were slaughteredin the west acentury ago,yet few, if any, fossilized. They werelefton toptorot, bonesand all.3. Sincesomany researchers havethe preconceived (and false)idea thatman has been evolving from small anddumb to bigand smart theymaytend tonot even recognize and properlyidentify bonefragments of humans thatmay havebeen hugeby today’s standards. Theirprejudice is that ancientman wassmaller. We show evidencefor gianthumans on video#2.In spiteof theaboveproblems, Marvin Lubenow, an expert onfossil humans andauthorof Bones of Contention (availablefrom CSE) says that about4000 human fossilremains havebeen found.Theevolutionist has aserious problem withthis samequestion.If man has really been hereformillions of years thereshouldbemany thousands, ifnot millions, of fossils oftheirbones likewehaveof theanimals. The“where are thebones?”question is really aquestion for theevolutionist toanswerifheexpects all the taxpayers tosupporthis religion in theschoolsystem.What is theGaia Hypothesis?TheGaia hypothesis is named after the Greekgoddess for theearth. AccordingtoGaia Hypothesis, earthitselfis alivingorganism, our “Mother Earth,” as its proponents callit. Manyevolutionists adopt this theory becausethey have notfoundany evidencefor gradual undirected evolution as Darwinpredicted. Radicalenvironmentalism and theNew AgeMovementtierightintotheGaiaHypothesis and evolution. TheBible teaches the earthwas made for man tohave dominionover. It is goingto be destroyed one day.Dr. Kent Hovind • office (850) 479-DINO (3466) •Fax 479-8562 78

“If my theory be true,numberless intermediatevarieties… must assuredlyhave existed;”—Charles Darwin,The Origin of Species… 1859“In the years after Darwin, hisadvocates hoped to findpredictable progressions. Ingeneral, these have not beenfound—yet the optimism hasdied hard, and some purefantasy has crept intotextbooks.”—Raup, David M.,“Evolution and the FossilRecord,” Science,vol. 213(July 17, 1981), p. 289“The function of only 1%(some say 3%) of human DNAhas been determined. If 99%of this small amount is similarto chimps it still provesnothing.”See: Modern Creation Trilogyvol. 2, chapter 9, Henry Morris30. Q:A:31. Q:A:32. Q:A:What abouttheozonehole, and R-12 refrigerants?Thereis notan ozoneproblem that man has created. Ozoneisanaturalgas, whichis produced when sunlightstrikes theatmosphere. O,ozone,3is poisonous, but itdoes filter outradiation. In the upper atmosphere, the ozone layer protectsus; it’s abarrier. Ozone is absentfrom theNorthand SouthPoles because thesun never strikes thoseareas directly, but atsuchan obliqueanglethat it does not produceozone. It’snormalto havean ozone holein these areas.What aboutR-12? R-12does destroy ozone, but the R-12 fromourrefrigerators and air conditioners never rises high enoughto destroy atmospheric ozone. R-12 sinks; itdoesn’trise. Evenconvection currents would notcarry man madeR-12 to theozone layer in 100 years, which is alonger timethan man hasbeen usingit. Man has donealmost nothingtotheozone. Infact, my understandingis thatthelasttimescientists measuredthe ozonelayer, itwas thicker than it was the firsttimetheymeasured it. Ibelievethe real purpose of the environmentalpropaganda is tofulfill the firstplankof theCommunistManifesto:the abolishmentofprivateproperty. Whilethereis noquestion man has abused theenvironment, thereisahidden agenda behind the modern hype. (See FactsNotFearfor information on environment.)Whatabout global warming?Justabout as many scientists areconcerned about globalfreezing or another iceage as aboutglobal warming. Thereisn’t enough data to bedogmatic. The answer would probablydepend upon thegrantmoney being sought. As with theprevious question, most ofthe environmental hypeis reallytohelpbringabout KarlMarx’s dream (nightmare) of aCommunistworld.His firstof 10planks was theabolishing of privateproperty. Though therearemany sincere peoplein theenvironmentalmovement, Ibelievetherealagenda is Communism,not savingtheplanet.Whobuilt theGreat Pyramid, and why?Nooneknows for sure whobuilttheGreat Pyramid, butseveraltheories havebeen proposed.

Nehemiah6:3-4 says: “And Isentmessengersuntothem (his critics), saying, Iam doing agreatwork,so that Icannotcomedown: why should theworkcease,whilst Ileaveit, and comedown to you? Yet they sent untome four times afterthis sort; andIanswered them after thesame manner.” Nearly every day askepticor scoffer willtry toengageme in aletter writing battle via e-mail orstandard mailover thecreation subject. Ihave astanding offerof $250,000for prooffor evolution and Istand ready todebate anytwoorthreeevolutionists at atimein apublicsetting, but Iwon’twastethetimetoslowlyhuntand peck outendless answerswhen theydon’t really wantone. Thatwould becasting mypearls before swine(seeMatthew 7:6). If they are so suretheyareright, theyshouldbedelighted with theopportunity todebateme publicly.Iwill even draw thecrowd for them!Atheists seem tohavenothingelseto do. They know theycan'tgetacrowd together for an atheists’ meeting, so theyride on thecoattails ofthecreationists. For example, Irecentlywas invited bythefree-thoughtclub on the OhioStateUniversity campus to debate theeditor oftheAmericanAtheist Magazine. Theytold metheynormallyhadabout30peoplecome to their meetings (in auniversityof 58,000), butthey had nearly90 comewhen this man spokethemonthbefore. They wereproud totellmeabout this greatattendance!Thenight of the debate therewere hundreds there(severalpeople said there wereover 700) to hearthedebate. Ispeaktocrowds of over 1000 nearly every weekout of theyear. Theatheists ofcourse havea“smarter than thou”attitudeaboutitall. They say their crowds are smallbecausetherearenotverymany smart people(meaningthemselves, ofcourse) in theworld. What egos!If thesecritics would devoteeven 5% oftheir error-detectingattention totheevolution theory likethey do tothe creationtheory, they would see thelies, wild exaggerations anddistortions used tosupport thesilly idea that we all came fromarockover the last4.6billion years! Converted evolutionistsmakegreatcreationists. Christians and creationists needtoworkto beaccurate, ofcourse, atthesametimeweneed torealize theevolutionists arenottheenemy, Satan is theenemy. It may be hard attimes, butwe needto lovethesinner whilewehatethesin. God is notwilling thatanyshould perish butthat all come tothe knowledge of the truth.Feel free to callin toour world wideradio program withanyquestions.

87“The evolutionary trees thatadorn our textbooks have dataonly at the tips and nodes oftheir branches; the rest isinference, howeverreasonable, not the evidenceof fossils.”—Stephen Jay Gould,Professor of Geology andPaleontology,HarvardUniversity in “Evolution’sErractic Pace,” Natural History,vol. 86 (May,1977), p. 1440. Q:A:Wheredid you getyourdegree?Creation Science Evangelism •29 Cummings Road •Pensacola, Florida 32503Every once in awhilesomeone will askmethequestion,“Wheredid you get your degree?” Therearemany web sitesthat attackmeand often publishfalseinformation aboutmeand/ormy degree. While Iam nottheleastbit ashamed ofmyeducation, Ihavelearned by experiencethat some areaskingthequestion becausethey havecometo thepointwherethey cannotattackthemessage Ibringagainst evolutionsothey wishto attackmepersonally instead. This iscalled an ad hominem argument. They mistakenly think thatby belittling theman theyhave answered his points andwonthedebate. When theopponentin adebatebegins usingadhominem attacks, itis an obvious signal toallthat they arelosingthedebateon facts and must resortto other means totry tosaveface or divert attention. It is also interestingtowatchhow theevolutionists will spend much time andeffortscrutinizing asubject likemy degreeorcredentials yetwon'tspend twoseconds scrutinizinghow ridiculous theentireevolution theory is! They truly strain at agnat andswallow acamelas Jesus said in Matthew 23:24. Twomisguidedindividualsareeven writingtoevery churchon my itinerarytryingtogetthepastors tocancel my meetings! Nomeetings havebeen canceled, butseveralpastors havecalled me to haveagood laugh over these letters. It is obvious thatthesecriticsareunabletogetacrowd tovoluntarily listen to them preachtheevolution religion sothey spend timeattackingcreationists.Back to the degree question. Itookadvanced mathandscience classes at East Peoria HighSchool graduatingin 1971. Iearnedmy first60 (+ or -) credit hours majoringin mathandscience at Illinois Central Collegein EastPeoria, Illinois. Ithen transferred toMidwestern BaptistCollegein Pontiac,Michigan where Idoublemajored in education and Bibleandgraduated in 1974. (I took 18-20 hours eachsemester plussummerschooltograduatein threeyears.) While Itaughtmathand science in Christian schools for thenext 15 years, Itook courses atseveral Biblecolleges in my spare time. Itaught for 3½years in Pekin, Illinois, 3½years in Boubonais,Illinois, (I transferred at semester breakto fillaneed inBourbonais), 5years in Longview, Texas, 3years in Fairfield,California and1yearin Pensacola, Florida. Ifinished myMasters (1988) and Doctorate (1991) degrees in educationfrom PatriotUniversity.Patriot University www.patriotuniversity.com is aChristianuniversity in ColoradoSprings thatoffers an external studiesprogram for people involved in full timeministries. PatriotUniversity (established 1980) is an extension of HilltopBaptist Churchand offered aPh.D. in education. Ispentmanyyears workingon mydegreeand learned alot -asanyone whohas watched mydebates with evolutionists orseminar series will testify. LongafterIgraduated, Patriotrelocated its extension division offices to College Heights

“We should all be concernedwith the future because wewill have to spend the rest ofour lives there.”—Charles F.Kettering“What is the use of beingelected or re-elected unlessyou stand for something?”—President GroverClevelandBaptistChurchin Alamosa, COwhereitcontinues to thrivetoday. Patriot now offers aDoctor of Ministry degreeratherthan aPh.D. in education becausetheState of Coloradoaskedthem to make thechange to emphasizethereligious natureoftheirinstitution. Someillinformed scoffers have even circulatedapicture of the churchparsonagenexttothechurch(whichhas thesameaddress) and claimed this is wherePatriotis now located. Idon'tunderstand theirtwisted logic but,evidently, they think this somehow discredits me.Patriot allows students togiveofferings totheschool insteadof aregular tuition payment. Somescoffers havelaughed atthis idea; yet, they don'tseem torealizethis is God's methodand they alsoforget how manythousands havegonethroughsecular schools without usingany of their own money viagrants, scholarships or their parents' savings.Somehaveridiculed thesize of the school. Itwould beinteresting to seethelook on thescoffer's faceif they knewthesizeoftheschools many of our early presidents, congressmen,and military leaders graduated from. If Harvard offers aPh.D. degreeprogram withonly threeorfour students (thishappens atmany schools, sometimes withonly one student),does the small number automaticallymean they arenot“earningtheir degree” orthat they areattending a“diplomamill” school? Of coursenot! Hundreds ofcolleges and universitiesoffer classes bycorrespondence. Thereis nothing wrongwiththis. Iworkedvery hard formy degrees. Idon'tknow ifothers doornot. Patriothas about25graduates each year,three tofiveofwhich are getting doctorate degrees.My 20-year studyof thecreation/evolutionism subject led metostart Creation ScienceEvangelism in 1991. Inow speakmorethan 700 times each year on thesubject. Ihavehadmorethan 80 debates and have been agueston over 5000radio and television talkshows.

Sincesomeseem to think Idon'thave a“legitimatedegree,” theycan callmeKent, Mr. Hovindor even “hey, you,” if itwillmake them feelbetter. Since theydon'tthink Iam “properly educated,” itshould beeasyforthem to demonstratehow wrong Iam and how muchevidencethereisfor evolution.

“For whosoever shall callupon the name of the Lordshall be saved.”—Romans 10:13happen to know personally as my Savior). By the way,Darwin's only degreewas in theology; yet, heis often called agreat scientistin textbooks today. Whoand what determineswho gets tobecalled a“scientist” and why don'tthesescoffersput the same effortintocorrectingtextbooks thatcall “Reverend”Darwin ascientist?As Henry Morris has pointed out, “It is worthnotingthatalmost none of the leaders ofthis evolutionaryrevivalhadbeen trained as scientists in themodern sense. None wereeducated as physicists orchemists or biologists or geologists orastronomers or other “natural” scientists. As already noted,Charles Darwin himself was an apostatedivinity studentwhose only degreewas in theology. Charles Lyellwas alawyer; William Smith asurveyor, James Hutton an agriculturalist,John Playfair amathematician, and Robert Chambersajournalist. Alfred Russell Wallacehad little formal educationofany kind, with only abriefapprenticeship in surveying.Thomas Huxley had an indifferent education in medicine.Herbert Spencer received practically noformaleducationexcept somepracticalexperience in railroad engineering.Thomas Malthus was atheologian and economist, whileErasmus Darwin was amedicaldoctor and poet. Of all thechief contributors tothe revival of evolutionism commonlyassociatedwithCharles Darwin, only Jean Lamarckin Franceand ErnstHaeckel in Germany seemed tohave had abona fideeducation in the branchof evolutionary “science” that theypursued, and they had their own particular anti-Christianagendas to promote.” (TheLongWar Against God ch.4.)Haeckel and Lamarck pushed wildly wrongideas tosupportevolution.Ihopethis helps answer your question. Please feelfreeto callmeany time if you have questions.41. Q:A:What about separation between churchand state?Separation of church and state is never mentioned in theconstitution. The phrase first appeared in aletter written byThomas Jefferson in 1802 to aBaptist pastor in Dayton,Connecticut. Atheists almost always omit the last part ofthe letter that shows Jefferson’s intent.Here is the context of that letter: “The First Amendment haserected awall of separation between church and state. Thatwall is aone dimensional wall. It keeps government fromrunning the church, but it makes sure that Christian principleswill always stay in government.”For more on this topic, contact Wallbuilders (800) 873-2845www.wallbuilders.com.Please send in your questions if you don’t see somethingcovered in our seminar.
