Imagine a space so vast and empty it could make even the bravest astronaut feel a shiver down their spine. Well, that's the Bootes Void for you—a cosmic desert stretching across billions of light-years, devoid of the usual galaxies, stars, and cosmic clutter. It's like the ultimate black hole, but without the gravitational pull. Astronomers scratch their heads trying to fathom how such a void could exist in a universe teeming with celestial wonders. Some speculate it's a remnant from a cosmic collision, while others think it's just an oddity in the cosmic tapestry. Credit: CC BY 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...

The U.S. Postal Service has issued two new Priority Mail stamps celebrating NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, the largest, most powerful, and most complex telescope ever put in space. The stamps, issued Jan. 22, feature images of the cosmos captured by Webb since it began its science mission in 2022. Webb is a mission led by NASA in partnership with ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency).“NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is the perfect intersection of science, engineering, and art as it reveals the greatest secrets of our cosmos through the beautiful images it captures,” said Nicola Fox, associate administrator, Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “With these stamps, people across the country can have their own snapshot of Webb's captivating images – and the incredible science they represent – at their fingertips, and know that they, too, are part of this ground-breaking new era in astronomy.”Orange mountain-like structures against a blue background form the Cosmic CliffsThe U.S. Postal Service issued a Priority Mail Express stamp Jan. 22, 2024, highlighting an image of the Carina Nebula from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. Greg Breeding, an art director for the U.S. Postal Service, designed the stamp with an image provided by NASA, ESA, CSA, and the Space Telescope Science Institute.US Postal ServiceThe first of the new stamps, a Priority Mail Express stamp, features Webb's NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) image of the “Cosmic Cliffs” in the Carina Nebula, located roughly 7,600 light-years away. The image shows emerging stellar nurseries and individual stars that were previously hidden from sight. This scene was one of the first full-color images revealed from Webb in July 2022, demonstrating the telescope's ability to peer through cosmic dust and shed new light on how stars form.The other stamp, a Priority Mail stamp, features an image of the Pillars of Creation captured by Webb's MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument). Webb's look at this familiar landscape, which was first made famous by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, shows pillars flush with gas and dust, enshrouding stars that are slowly forming over many millennia. The Pillars of Creation is set within the vast Eagle Nebula, which lies 6,500 light-years away.These new stamps join a Forever stamp issued by the U.S. Postal Service in 2022, featuring an artist's digital illustration of Webb against a background of stars.The U.S. Postal Service stamps honor Webb's achievements as it continues its mission to explore the unknown in our universe and study every phase in cosmic history. Webb has already pulled back the curtain on some of the farthest galaxies, stars, and black holes ever observed; solved a longstanding mystery about the early universe; given us a more detailed look at the atmospheres of planets outside our solar system than ever before; and offered new views and insights into our own cosmic backyard.

One of the most famous images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope is the "Pillars of Creation." It's a photo of a region of the Eagle Nebula where new stars are born. The Hubble Space Telescope continues to operate and make important scientific discoveries, despite some initial technical difficulties. From time to time, we discover some light coming from places where we didn't expect to see it, like from between planets. This light may be coming from deep within our Solar System, and it may be a new phenomenon that hasn't been studied before. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

"Pillars of Creation" is one of the most famous picture taken by Hubble Space Telescope. It is a part of the star forming region called, Eagle Nebula. As you may have expected, now James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has now taken a spectacular infrared picture of the same region. Please join astrophysicist Salman Hameed in exploring the processes responsible for creating these amazing columns of gas and dust.For the video of this podcast: https://youtu.be/VSYAmdxgQjg

We've all seen the breathtaking Hubble and JWST images of our universe, but have you ever wondered how these pictures are made? If you were to travel to the “Cosmic Cliffs” of the Carina Nebula or the “Pillars of Creation” of the Eagle Nebula, your eyes wouldn't see the beautiful colors and patterns displayed in these popular images. But, that doesn't make these pictures any less real.  In today's episode we explain how image processors take invisible (to us) light and data from space telescopes and translate it into something that's better than what our naked eyes can see. And we discuss how these images are made even more accessible through detailed alt-text, 3D printing, and sonification. Sign up here for the monthly AirSpace newsletter!

Host: Fraser Cain ( @fcain ) Special Guest: Since its final commissioning and being placed in service, JWST has been delivering on its promise to provide unprecedented insight into the most distant — and oldest — regions of our Universe. Whether it's providing a new view of our nearby neighbor Jupiter, or sussing out never-before-seen details of the iconic Eagle Nebula and its Pillars of Creation, let's face it - the imagery so far has been nothing less than stunning! But more importantly, the data being collected by JWST's onboard instrumentation are allowing scientists the ability to peer back in time to study the oldest cosmic structures while they are still in their infancy, potentially unlocking never-before understood processes that have led to the Universe as we know it today.   This week we are joined by Dr. Andrey Vayner, a member of a multinational team led by Dominika Wylezalek of Heidelberg University (Germany) that has been studying SDSS J165202.64+172852.3, an “extremely red” QUASAR that dates back to the earliest days of the Universe, some 11.5 billion years ago.

It was discovered by the French scientist Jean-Jacques Dortous de Mairan some time before 1731,[2] then catalogued by Charles Messier in 1769.[a] It is physically part of the Orion Nebula (Messier 42), separate from that main nebula by a dense lane of dust known as the northeast dark lane.[4] It is part of the much larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex.   Pillars of Creation is a photograph taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of elephant trunks of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula, in the Serpens constellation, some 6,500–7,000 light-years (2,000–2,100 pc; 61–66 Em) from Earth.[1] They are so named because the gas and dust are in the process of creating new stars, while also being eroded by the light from nearby stars that have recently formed.[2] Taken on April 1, 1995, it was named one of the top ten photographs from Hubble by Space.com.[3] The astronomers responsible for the photo were Jeff Hester and Paul Scowen from Arizona State University. The region was rephotographed by ESA's Herschel Space Observatory in 2011, and again by Hubble in 2014 with a newer camera. Georgina Pazcoguin is an American ballerina. She is a soloist with the New York City Ballet, and is known for challenging racism in ballet,[2] and for performing on Broadway.

The Space Age has produced some remarkable images: astronauts walking on the Moon, the rings of Saturn, the surface of Pluto. But few are more impressive than the Pillars of Creation. Snapped in 1995 by Hubble Space Telescope, the picture shows three towers of dark gas against a colorful background. Embedded inside the towers are the glowing “eggs” of newly forming stars. The pillars are part of the Eagle Nebula — a cloud of gas and dust that's more than 50 light-years wide. It's in the south after night falls, above the “teapot” outlined by the stars of Sagittarius. It's too faint to see with the eye alone. The nebula is a stellar nursery. Over the last few million years, it's given birth to hundreds of stars. Its most massive stars are much bigger, heavier, and hotter than the Sun. They pump out lots of ultraviolet energy. That causes the surrounding gas to glow like a neon bulb, making the nebula look red. Its outline resembles an eagle with wide-spread wings. The Pillars of Creation account for only a small part of the nebula. The tall pillars contain pockets of dense, cold gas and dust — known as eggs — that are collapsing to form even more stars. But the hot young stars are blasting away the surrounding gas and dust. That shuts down star formation. In another hundred thousand years or so, all of the raw materials for making new stars may be gone — toppling the remarkable Pillars of Creation.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

Dream Word – CONFIDENCEIsaiah 35:4-6 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. KJVIn time past, I lived on the border of the county of East Sussex and the county of Kent, even the so-called, Garden of England. Then, living in South Tunbridge Wells, I was delighted to find that it was riddled with well established and beautiful ‘Cut Throughs’ and ‘Short Cuts’ between all the walls and hedges, and all fences and houses. In my home county of Derbyshire we call these short cuts, these new ways, ‘Jennels,’ and in other parts of the country they are also referred to as ‘Jiggers’ or maybe even, ‘Snickleways,’ (isn’t that cute!) but down in that part of the ‘Soft and Sunny South,’ they are delightfully referred to as, ‘Twittens.’A Synapse is a highly specialized junction found either between two neurons (nerve cells) or a neuron and a protein cell, which in turn allows the transmission of chemical and electrical signals, resulting in a quick cascade of a physical response. Now, these well established synaptic pathways are of course especially important in brain function and can be easily destroyed by anything from drugs to disease, thus limiting the capacity of brain functionality. The brain, however, is quite remarkable, especially in younger people, in that even with the destruction of well established and existing synaptic pathways, others can be established as time goes on.Now, I have neither the knowledge or understanding to correctly communicate how the brain works, but then, who does! Yes, the investigation and understanding of brain function and the definition of intelligence and consciousness seem almost as accurate as describing a single star, maybe, on the Eagle Nebula! Yup, I reckon we understand just that much about these things, and probably not a lot more! Never the less, this phenomenon of the damaged brain's capacity to establish new ‘Cut Throughs’ and new ‘Short Cuts,’ or if you will, new ‘Jennels,’ ‘Snickleways,’ and ‘Twittens’, is quite remarkable.My point tonight is this: In the establishment and growth of towns and cities throughout the ages, human beings have always been in the business of establishing ‘Twittens,’ those quicker and often prettier ‘Cut Throughs,’ so as to arrive speedier and more refreshed at their desired destination. In the same way, even nature, from rivers to streams, and from the establishment or re-establishment of broken brain synaptic pathways, yes, nature has been in the business of making ways where there are none. Therefore, do you not think tonight then, that our God can make for you WAYS where at the moment there are none? Of course, He can! So, very simply, I say to some of you tonight, that GOD CAN MAKE A WAY FOR YOU, even if you do not see it yet! Trust Him in this.Listen: - No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. (1 Corinthians 10:13 NKJV.)Pray:- It is a very simple prayer of mine tonight dear Jesus, please make a way, where currently there is no way, yes, open up a new way, a hidden way, a forgotten way, where at the moment there appears to be none. In your great NameSupport the show (http://www.victorrobert.tv)

The result is this sharper, wider view of the region dubbed the Pillars of Creation, first imaged by Hubble in 1995. Stars are forming deep inside the towering structures. The light-years long columns of cold gas and dust are some 6,500 light-years distant in M16, the Eagle Nebula, toward the constellation Serpens. Sculpted and eroded by the energetic ultraviolet light and powerful winds from M16's cluster of young, massive stars, the cosmic pillars themselves are destined for destruction. But the turbulent environment of star formation within M16, whose spectacular details are captured in this Hubble visible-light snapshot, is likely similar to the environment that formed our own Sun. ถ้าซูมเอาท์ออกมาจะเห็นแบบนี้ ถ่ายในช่วงคลื่น infrared มองทะลุฝุ่นได้ เห็นดาวระยิบมากกว่าเดิม 2.

Though its wingspan covers over 3 light-years, NGC 6302 is no exception. With an estimated surface temperature of about 250,000 degrees C, the dying central star of this particular planetary nebula has become exceptionally hot, shining brightly in ultraviolet light but hidden from direct view by a dense torus of dust. This sharp close-up of the dying star's nebula was recorded in 2009 by the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Camera 3, and is presented here in reprocessed colors. Cutting across a bright cavity of ionized gas, the dust torus surrounding the central star is near the center of this view, almost edge-on to the line-of-sight. Molecular hydrogen has been detected in the hot star's dusty cosmic shroud. NGC 6302 lies about 4,000 light-years away in the arachnologically correct constellation of the Scorpion (Scorpius). 3.

In the first of our two-part series on astrophotography, we are fortunate to be joined by two scientists responsible for some of the most awe-inspiring images ever created. Astrophysicist Dr. Jeff Hester was a member of the team that built the camera on the Hubble Space Telescope and is credited with taking “Pillars of Creation,” an extraordinary image of the Eagle Nebula that has been selected by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential photographs in history. Dr. Hester tells us about his time working on the Hubble and how this image was created, as well as offering his insight on the nature of beauty and the relationship between science and art (Hint: They’re not as different as you might think.) Also joining us is Zoltan Levay, the Imaging Team Lead at the Space Telescope Science Institute, whose principal responsibility is to produce and publicize pictures from the Hubble. Mr. Levay discusses the relative nature of color, his techniques for coloring and composing photographs, and the differences between the images that come to him as “data” from the telescope and the published images with which we are more familiar. Again, science and art blend as we ask why certain colors are chosen to represent various celestial bodies, and come to realize that the decisions made and processes used in the top tiers of astrophotography are not that different from those we ourselves make in our own post-processing. Guests: Zoltan Levay and Dr. Jeff Hester Photograph: NASA, ESA, Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA) Next week’s episode, Shooting Stars, Part II – The Lonely Speck

The third installment of Suburban Sinners Podcast is finally complete. It has been a while since the last one, but I really wanted to put something very special together. Something magical happens around this time of year. There seems to be a beautiful sadness that I cannot escape. As part of that, I have been thinking a lot about the wonderful people who have entered my life since I have moved to Boston, and I think a lot about my amazing friends and family that I don't get to see enough. The emotions that the music in the mix elicit sort of roll up all of these feeling in just over an hour of sounds. Admittedly, parts of the "mix" feel less like a mix and more like a compilation. I have found so much amazingly music lately I wanted to showcase as much as I could, even though a lot of what you hear is not what I typically include in my mixes. I do hope you enjoy the music as much I have been. 1. PAVANE – La danse de Daphnis - [00:00:00] 2. Ludique – Noorderplantsoen - [00:05:00] 3. Blank Banshee – Visualization - [00:09:33] 4.

Hubble's "Pillars of Creation" within the Eagle Nebula is one of the most famous astronomical images of all time. But new Spitzer observations by Nicolas Flagey have led to a surprising discovery: they may soon become "Pillars of Destruction."

Pastor Michael Powers: October 8, 2006 The Truth Project, Part 5: Science-What is True? We're going to have a lot of visuals today up on the screen behind you. What we're basically talking about, in the whole Truth Project, is being able to view everything in life through a Biblical lens and through the eyes of God. First of all, I remember being in school and seeing this slow-motion sneeze. I thought that was so cool. The thought that mucus and stuff can fly out of you at 100 miles per hour: now you know why I'm a youth pastor. Why do we not stop and just take a look around? God is calling out to us from His Creation everywhere we go. So we're going to start with the fourth day of the Creation week: the sun, the moon, and the stars. Follow along with me here [in Genesis 1:14 (Page 1 of pew Bibles)], “And God said, ‘Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years to separate the day from the night and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.' And it was so. God made two great lights-the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning-the fourth day.” We're going to focus in on one little sentence fragment: “He also made the stars.” I find this amazing. It's an afterthought, “Oh yeah, by the way, He also made the stars.” And then they just move on. Let's take a look through the Hubble telescope, and you, as an American citizen, own these images. If you go to a site called Hubble.org, you will find these. Are you ready? Let's look at the afterthought of the stars (pictures are showing on the screen): the Cat's Eye Nebula; the Orion Nebula; the Boomerang Nebula; the Helix Nebula; Derek Pratt's personal favorite, the Sombrero Galaxy; the Ring Galaxy; the Whirlpool Galaxy; Planetary Nebula M29; Nebula NGC 3603 (What? All the cool names are taken, so now we're just going with numbers apparently.); the Mosaic of the Crab Nebula; the Eagle Nebula; just in is N7 635; and finally the Cone Nebula. Those are the stars that are just flippantly mentioned there. By the Word of the Lord where the Heavens made their starry host by the breath of His mouth. Can you imagine being there when God went, “Hoohhh,” and an entire Whirlpool Galaxy came out of His mouth and was set into place? Now just for fun, this morning, turn to the person next to you and go, “Hoohhh” (congregation laughing). Just kidding. Wouldn't that be fun, to find out who brushed their teeth this morning? He determined the number of the stars and called them each by name. Absolutely amazing to me. If you watch the Truth Project DVD this week, you're going to find out that as of 2003, they figured there are 70 sextillion stars. I don't know what that number means. I think it's kind of a risky name, but that's what we are calling it. That is the number 70 followed by 21 zeros. You cannot fathom, I cannot fathom, what that number means. God called them by name. He doesn't call them N76305; God has really cool names for all of them. Now, just for the purpose of scale, let's just take a look at…(Attention is focused on the screen behind Pastor Michael where pictures are displayed of planets)There's the earth compared to that; Jupiter got cut off in order for me to fit this picture on it, but there's the earth down in the lower left hand corner compared to Jupiter and Saturn. Not there's the sun. Look how small Jupiter is now. The earth is one little dot. That's what most of us would be familiar with. Let's start looking at some suns and things out there that we are not so familiar with. (For a visual for this section, go here: www.hubblesite.org) There's your sun down there, the little BB. Jupiter is one pixel in size. The earth is invisible at this scale. Let's find Arcturus (pointing to it on the current slide) on this next one. Jupiter is invisible at this scale. The sun is one pixel in size. Arcturus looks like a little BB or a marble, and Antares is that huge. This is what is out there. It's almost as if God was like, “You know what? There are some things out there that humans will never see even through the most powerful telescope, but I made it. Why? Because I'm God, and I can.” I find that amazing. He has stuff out there that only He and the angels will see until eternity. (Another clip is played) Psalm 19:1-4, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.” One of the things that we are going to skip because we don't have time is a video I found that takes us on a six-minute journey from our sun to the outer known edge of our solar system and then to the outer known edge of the universe. If you were to travel at the speed of light, it would take 3 billion years to reach the outer edge of our known universe. We're going to find out later this idea of millions and billions of years, as far as how old the earth of the universe is, is totally unbiblical. That is a fictional journey, if we could take that journey at the speed of light. That's how vast our universe is. As you look at the Hubble stars, and you look at these verses [in Psalm8:3, page 535], “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars that You have set in place, what is man that You are mindful of him?” See, we're taught that we are this insignificant speck in the universe, and we know the size of the known universe, and even the earth is an insignificant speck. As we will learn, and hopefully you have learned in your relationship with Christ, is that the God of the universe who breathes galaxies into existence cares about each and every one of us. Not only that, but He knows how many hairs are on our heads. That is an incredible, incredible God. Isaiah 45:18 (page 722) says, “For this is what the Lord says-He who created the Heavens, He is God; He who fashioned and made the earth, He founded it; He did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited-He says: ‘I am the Lord, and there is no other. I have not spoken in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness; I have not said to Jacob's descendants, “Seek me in Vain.” I, the Lord, speak the truth; I declare what is right.'” God said it; I believe it; that settles it; thanks for coming, ladies and gentleman. Have a nice day. We literally, if we really believe that what we have faith in is really real, we should be able to walk out of here just on that statement alone. But here's what science teaches us, “And this new discovery completely changes / everything you were ever taught about the origin of life. Oh, wait! A newer discovery totally changes what I just reported,” and on and on it goes because our ideas are fallible. They are man's ideas. When I was growing up, eggs were very good to eat. Then, sometime between my childhood and now, “Eggs are very bad to eat. They are evil. Don't put them in your body.” Now, eggs are good again. Have you ever thought, “What can I eat anymore? I don't know what air I should breathe,” because things change so much as they get all of this new information. The Word of God never changes. Man's ideas change with the wind. This is why it's so important. We'd like to show you the life-changing power of God's word. To start, please write your opinions here in the Book of Genesis, where it doesn't matter what you believe. And that's what we do. It doesn't mean six literal days. You've got God's Word as truth, and man decides what truth is. We put on our glasses, and we look: the facts are the same. Evolution and the Big Bang stories sound interesting. God says the earth was created first and then the sun, the moon, and the stars. Billions of years, the Heat Death, starting with the Big Bang: that's the history according to evolution. You have a six-day Creation. Man sins. You have thousands of years of sin and death. You have a heat destruction. God creates a new heaven and a new earth, and then you have eternity. What happens is we throw the Bible out. We decide, “Hmmm. That sounds interesting. Let's use man-made ideas and revelations.” Six literal days or millions of years? This is why it's important. Don't let anybody tell you that this is a side issue. You look in the Creation story, and it says over and over and over, “There was evening and the morning, first day.” It's almost as if God knew. Caleb, my 11-year old, when I was preparing for kids' camp this summer…As we were going through this, he was kind of paying attention to what I was studying. He said, “Dad, it's almost as if God knew that people were going to come along and say that each day was millions or billions of years. It's like God has a sense of humor, and he put that in there, so there would be no question.” The Hebrew word for day here is the word Yom. It always, always, always means “a literal 24-hour day.” If you were to ask any Hebrew scholar, going just by what the Bible says, “Are these literal days or not?” they would say, “Absolutely, positively it says they are literal 24-hour days.” Then, millions of years come up because of man's outside influence on the Word of God. Also interesting, if you believe in theistic evolution or that God used evolution, and each of those days aren't literal days, they stand for millions or billions of years, I find it interesting that God created the plants on day three and the sun on day four. You tell me how those plants survive on photosynthesis. It's almost as if God says, “Yup, I'm going to throw this one in there. Just wait.” (Genesis 1:31), “God saw all that He had made, and it was very good, and there was evening and morning the sixth day.” Here's what the Bible teaches: Six-day Creation; man; Adam and Eve sin; that causes death and the curse; and everything that goes wrong with the earth is because of that. Evolution teaches that if evolution is true and millions of years are true, you have sin and death before Adam and Eve and before the Garden of Eden. These are two very conflicting stories. So, if God looks down and says, “It is very good,” He should be able to say that; but if evolution is true, and there's all that before Adam and Eve, then God looks down and says, “It is very good.” Or… “After millions of years of mutations, vast extinctions, devastating diseases, and violent death, God saw all that He had evolved, and behold, it was very good.” God created a perfect world. Sin enters the picture, and now we have a cursed world full of sin and death and destruction. Then Jesus comes on the cross, and He makes a way so that our separation from God can be made as far as a relationship goes; and in the future, He's going to make a new Heaven and a new earth. It's going to be like the Garden of Eden all over again. Are you going to base your belief on the infallible Word of God or on man's fallible ideas? Here's the deal: If six Creation days are in your path, then God's the authority. He sets the rules, and you're made with a purpose; but if millions of years are in your past, man is the authority and relative morality. It makes sense why a kid would go to school, pull out a gun, and start shooting people. If kids really are believing what they are taught in our schools, they are taught that they are an accident; there is no God, there is no higher calling that they are accountable to, you can do whatever you want. It's amazing that we're shocked that our students actually believe what they are taught. Here's what it really comes down to. Evolution destroys utterly and finely the very reason Jesus' earthly life was supposedly made necessary. Destroy Adam and Eve and the original sin, and in the rubble, you will find the sorry remains of the Son of God. If Jesus was not the Redeemer who died for our sins and this is what evolution means, then Christianity is nothing. If you include millions of years and evolution and all of that, Jesus Christ is a liar. The Bible should be thrown out the window. Jesus referred to Genesis many, many times. He is called the “second Adam.” He had to come make right what we made wrong. Here's the deal: the Bible talks about preaching to the Jews and preaching to the Greeks. Preaching to the Jews are people that already have a Creation background. The Jewish people of the time had the Old Testament. They knew the story accurately. When it comes to the cross, that's their stumbling point. You speak to the Greeks, and the cross is foolishness. You have to take them back to the beginning of the story because that has been left out. If you're preaching to the world of Jews, meaning that they have a Creation background, it makes sense that you need to repent, and Jesus died for your sins; but if they don't know that, if that's been taken out of everything, it doesn't make sense at all. Now, we have a second or third generation Greek who has been indoctrinated in this. The Creation has been taken out-God has been taken out-and now they have been trained that way. Now they're teaching our students-our children-and it doesn't make sense. The cross is foolishness. We try to tell them to repent; repent from what? What is sin? We have to take them back to the beginning of the story. See, here's the problem. Satan knows exactly what to do. You destroy the foundation, and everything else comes down. What we do is we shoot at each other-we shoot at the issues, we don't deal with the foundation. We need to build that foundation back up. When you are witnessing to people, you have to know your soil. In the old days, we could just talk about Jesus from the start, and people would understand. Now, we have no understanding. Why? Why aren't people just falling on their knees when they hear the message of the cross? It's because they have not been told the beginning of the story. Let's switch gears. Let's talk about Charles Darwin. Charles Darwin said this: “If it could be demonstrated that any complex organism existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down. Let's see if Charles Darwin's words come true or not. (Another video is played.) Alright, let's talk about dinosaurs. If there is one tool that has been used to perpetuate the theory of evolution, it's the dinosaurs. We're going to find out if you're indoctrinated or not. A Tyrannosaurus Rex had teeth up to six inches long. So, here's my question for you: how would this dinosaur originally been described: A plant eater, a meat eater, a scavenger, or a plant and meat eater? A plant eater. I know what you're thinking, “Oh, come on. Maybe I've been with you up to this point, but now you are one crazy youth pastor.” Guess what the Bible says? This is what they would have been after the fall of man and the curse that was placed on the earth, but before that, they were created to be plant eaters. Genesis 1:30 (page 2), “‘And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-everything that has the breath of life in it-I give every green plant for food.' And it was so.” So let's just take a look. Here's a skull of an animal. Look at those teeth. What do you think that animal eats? It's a panda bear; it eats bamboo. Look at this one. It's a fruit bat; it only eats fruit. Here's a creature for you to be glad that it isn't running around Wisconsin. You look at that, and you think “wow!” It could rip a vein out of your neck. It eats seeds. The animal extracts with its sharp K9s, opening up a fruit and splitting the seeds using its incisors. Do you know what big, long scary teeth mean, if an animal has that? It means the animal has long, sharp teeth. That's all it means, but we have been indoctrinated into thinking other things. So how many of you would like to know how we fit dinosaurs in the Bible? I have heard pastors say before, “The Bible is really not a science book; that's why it doesn't mention dinosaurs. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.” Dinosaurs are in the Bible, but you don't fit them into the Bible because then you're using our ideas of what we believe has happened. You take the Bible and by using the history book of the universe, you explain dinosaurs because this should be our thinking in every area if we're looking through our Biblical glasses. The Bible is never wrong on anything, whether it's science, anthropology, anything. So, let's look at what the Bible says. You look in Job 40:15 (page 529); it talks about a creature called the behemoth. I want you in your head to get an image of what this creature is by God's description, “Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox. What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly! His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit. His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron.” He is the chief of the ways of God. “He ranks first among the words of God…” Verse 23 picks up, “When the river rages, he is not alarmed; he is secure, though the Jordan should surge against his mouth.” Okay? National Geographic: Here is just the leg bone of a dinosaur. In 1994, the biggest dinosaur they had ever discovered was called Sauroposeidon, 60 tons and 60 feet tall. Since then, they have found a dinosaur called the Argentinasaurus, 125 feet long and 110 tons. One hundred tons is 14 school buses. Let's look at Verse 17, “His tail sways like a cedar.” Do you know what a cedar is? A cedar is a huge tree. The Bible talks about the cedars of Lebanon being used to build Solomon's temple. Now, if you were open up your NIV Bible, you will see a footnote, a little asterisk, by this animal, and it says, “Possibly the hippopotamus or the elephant.” So let's just think about that. There is a tail that sways like a cedar, and let's see if that fits with the elephant. Okay, maybe it's not the elephant; maybe it's the hippopotamus. Have you seen the hippopotamus' tail? It's this little flap of skin like a little yappy dog, and it just goes like that (waving hand back and forth). An elephant's no better. It's a little bit longer, but it's this thin wisp of a thing. What this shows is it has to be…You look at that description, and you tell me what you think that is. What this shows is this: The Bible is the inspired Word of God, but footnotes are not. So, why doesn't the word dinosaur appear in the Bible? Why couldn't God just say, “And let there be dinosaurs,” and there were dinosaurs? Wouldn't that just settle everything? King James' version was transferred into English in the year. The word dinosaur was invented in the year 1841. That's 230 years after the Bible was translated into English. Sir Richard Owen was the one who coined that term first in 1841. That is 230 years after the Bible was translated into English. If you look in an 1891 dictionary, the word dinosaur still does not appear-even in our dictionary 50 years later. Before they were called dinosaurs, they were called dragons by the people who lived on this earth. Now, the dragon that congers up an image in your mind is totally different than a dinosaur now because of the way things have changed as stories have been passed down. In a 1946 dictionary, the first listing: dragon-now rare. That doesn't appear in our dictionaries anymore. The dragons of old are the dinosaurs in history. Evolution teaches that dinosaurs died out 65 million years before man appeared on earth. If that's the case, I want to know how this man knew how to put a cave painting of a dinosaur on the wall if he had never seen a dinosaur and if we hadn't ever dug up the fossils of it until the late 1700s and the 1800s. That looks like a dinosaur to me. There's a petroglyph in National Bridges National Monument that bares striking resemblance to a dinosaur, specifically a branasaurus. What a coincidence. These guys [who drew on their walls] must have had visions of what they were, since they had never seen one. A mummified dinosaur carcass was found in Montana. Soft tissues covering 90 percent of the fossil, nail material, a beak, and skin were preserved. Here's the kicker, if this died out 65 million years ago, you tell me how all of this has been preserved. You say 65 million years ago, but we have no clue; we can't even fathom how long that is. This was in National Geographic. This wasn't some kooky guy making this up. You tell me how that lasted for 65 million years like that. Now, we have found T-Rex elastic tissue, fresh tissue, soft fibers tissue, red blood cells from a T-Rex, blood vessels, and microscopic structure squeezed out of blood vessels. That's made up mostly of water that was found in the leg bone of a T-Rex. You tell me how that lasted 65 million years and never disintegrated, never evaporated, never dried up. It's because we've been lied to. I wish I could talk more about dinosaurs, but I can't because we don't have enough time. Okay, on to fossils. This is how we are taught a fossil forms. A fish dies, it gradually sinks to the bottom. It's slowly covered with sediment, and the minerals and the bones are changed into a fossil. I don't know about you, but any fish I have ever seen floats to the surface, gets eaten, and there is nothing left. The only way that can happen is to be covered in sediments in a very quick process, perhaps Noah's flood; and if you think Noah's flood is 40 days and 40 nights of a soft rain that you could sleep to, you have not read your Bible. They have found fossils that have other fish fossils inside the stomach. Tell me how that happened, if it happened slowly over millions of years. Here is a dinosaur that was giving birth when it was covered so fast that it could not complete the birthing process. This one which is probably my favorite-my youth pastor, 21 years ago, showed this to me when he was teaching us, and it blew me away because of what I had been taught in school. This fish did not have a chance to swallow its dinner before it was covered in sediments. We are taught that the layers of rocks happened over millions and billions of years, slowly over time, and each layer represents long periods of time. Tell me how a tree can be down all the way through millions of years, so that tree just stood there for millions of years, never rotted, never died, never fell over, and the sediment slowly covered the tree. Now, I have two cats. I like cats; forgive me for this scientific experiment. Day 1, you've got a dead cat in the grass. Day 3, you've got a smelly dead cat on the grass-a very smelly dead cat by day 9. Now, part of your dead cat is missing. More of the dead cat is missing. By day 65, you don't have a cat anymore. That's what we observe happening to animals when they die. The Grand Canyon: I remember watching Fred Flintstone. He and Barney are looking at this little sign that says, “The Grand Canyon.” There is a little trickle of water, and Barney says, “Hey, Fred, I don't get it.” Fred says, “Hey, Barney, it isn't anything now, but in a few million years, it's supposed to be really something.” That's how we were taught the Grand Canyon was carved out. These are our standard beliefs. The fossil record was a gradual progression over billions of years. The formation of large canyons? Millions of years. Fossil fuels took millions of years. The geological time scale, the geological column, millions of years. Do you remember Mount St. Helens? We learned by observing science as it happened that you can have rapid sedimentation and rapid canyon formation. Let me read this to you, “Stratified layers up to 400 feet thick formed as a result of landslides, pyroclastic flow, mud flows during Mount St. Helen's eruption. Fine laminae from only a millimeter thick to more than a meter high formed in just a few seconds each. A deposit of more than 25 feet in thickness and containing upwards of 100 thin layers accumulated in just one day on June 12, 1980. We are taught that that is impossible; it takes millions of years. Perhaps the most remarkable, catastrophic event to have occurred at Mount St. Helens was a rapid erosion that was accomplished by mudflows, landslides, and waves of water. On March 19, 1982, a small eruption melted the snow that had accumulated in the crater over the winter. A resulting mudflow eroded a canyon system up to 140 feet deep. The deepest of the canyons pictured (on the screen) here has actually been called the “Little Grand Canyon.” It's 1/40th the size of its namesake. The small creek that now flows through the bottom would appear to have carved this canyon over a great length of time, but this unique event has demonstrated that rapid, catastrophic processes were instead responsible for the canyon. Here's another one. This is near Walla Walla, Washington. The top picture shows a drainage ditch off to the left. In six days, it became 1500 feet long and 120 feet deep. There was so much water that was backed up through this one river system-because of flooding and conditions that had happened which reached this damn section-that it just exploded out, and it carved this in six days. We're taught that fossils formed over long periods of time. Guess what we found? Fossilized manmade clocks; fossilized bells; a fossilized spark plug that fell off of an outboard motor, sank to the bottom of the ocean, and over a period of 30-40 years, a rock formed around it; a fossilized miner's hat-50 years of being dropped in this mine with this mineralized water, and it is totally rock hard. You see, we have been taught that all this has happened over millions of years, and again, I wish I had time to even talk to you about Noah's flood in that. The majority of the fossil record was laid down through Noah's flood. People will tell you it was a local flood. You read the description in the Bible of what it says; here's your local flood: If it was a local flood, why didn't all the people just leave that area? Why did two of every animal have to be on the arc if they could have just lived? Especially the birds, why couldn't they have just flown to a different area? As we close this up [we again refer to Psalm 8:3, page 535], “When I consider Your Heavens, the work of your fingers-the moon and the stars which You have set in place-what is man that you are mindful of him?” God had a plan. We're going to watch a video called “The One Thing You Would Need.” This is God reaching out to His Creation, not abandoning us when we sin, but reaching out to His Creation. I don't know about you, but I am so glad that God did not just abandon us and go His own way. The handout that you hopefully received as you came in (if you didn't, you should be able to grab one on the way out) talks about the history of the universe according to the Word of God. The Seven “Cs” of Creation: Creation; Corruption (the fall of man); Catastrophe (the worldwide cataclysm of Noah's flood); you've got Confusion at the tower of Babel; Christ coming to earth to make things right; what he did on the Cross to allow us to have a relationship with the God of the universe; and in the future, when God takes everything back to the way he originally intended it-Consummation. I hope you take some time to read that through today. I gave that to you beforehand in case I was boring, and you needed something to read. At the back, we have a table that has a lot of resources, and if you want one book that would give you an overview (in case this is all new to you) of this whole controversy and the war of the world views, this is the one to get. It's back there. Paul Ryan has just an amazing knowledge of this subject. If you have any questions, you're welcome to ask me afterwards. You're welcome to talk with him, and hopefully we should be able to answer any questions. If we don't know the answer, we'll make something up (congregation laughing). No, we'll find out the answer for you and get back to you. If something comes up in a discussion, and you have no idea how to answer it, go to www.answersingenesis.org. In case you don't know who Ken Hamm is, he the Australian guy who has a Creation museum opening up in April of next year in Kentucky. Also, my wife and I have a website that if you go to www.heartforteens.com or www.hearthtouchers.com and go to Creation_evolution, it opens up a whole super library of Creation things which should give you answers to anything you'd like. All right, let's pray. Heavenly Father, thank you so much that Your Word does not change and that we can put our trust in something that has not changed, will not change, and will never change in the future, and that we can trust every single word of Your Bible. Lord, we pray that you will help us to have our Biblical glasses on, that all the training we have had in worldview, that comes from a world's perspective, Lord, you will help us to filter all that stuff through Your Word and be able to live our lives, living out as children of the King of the Universe. I pray this in Jesus' name, Amen.
