The Science Of Creation · Urantia Radio

• 0:00
  One of the arguments against faith is the story of creation
• 0:04
  is inconsistent with science. Science says they can prove that
• 0:08
  evolution exists, but religionists argue that the
• 0:12
  story of Adam is merely stating that God is a grand designer and
• 0:17
  the story of creation is but an abbreviated narrative that
• 0:20
  covers a long stretch of time. OK, so how do we reconcile
• 0:25
  creation with modern science and why is it important?
• 0:30
  It's important because people who believe we are endowed or
• 0:34
  designed by our creator are in fact marginalized by the secular
• 0:39
  view of creation, which of course is accidental causation.
• 0:44
  Hence we have The Big Bang theory, which has been the
• 0:47
  dominant theory in education in the West for at least 100 years,
• 0:52
  which most non religious people believe is that life arose
• 0:56
  spontaneously without any help from any kind of guiding hand or
• 1:01
  as Bill Gates would say. I mean, you believe in science,
• 1:04
  don't you? I mean, what are we talking
• 1:06
  about here? Do you believe in science or
• 1:08
  not? And that's the attitude of most
• 1:10
  scientists today. OK, so let's take on the
• 1:13
  challenge. Let's say that scientists are
• 1:16
  right and that all the universe did come from an instantaneous
• 1:20
  Big Bang that would, from a single energy system, contain
• 1:23
  all of the potentials of life. Would this hypothesis negate the
• 1:28
  need of a divine or enormously advanced being of enormous
• 1:33
  intelligence? What proof would there need to
• 1:36
  be to prove intelligent design? Now, if this is a question upon
• 1:40
  which your faith depends, then you'll want to stick around
• 1:44
  because that's exactly what we're going to talk about on
• 1:46
  this episode of the Rancher Radio Podcast.
• 1:50
  Now to my friends who enjoy this program, thank you.
• 1:53
  Our audience has grown 22% from last year.
• 1:56
  People from 42 countries are now listening to this podcast on a
• 2:01
  regular basis, which means people are interested in knowing
• 2:04
  more about the Urantia book Revelation.
• 2:06
  And that's why we're here. Hang on, if you travel and you
• 2:10
  want to save money, keep things simple, then I highly recommend
• 2:14
  you use the sponsor of this program, Low Cost Air.
• 2:17
  It's not a website, it's a phone call and a real human who books
• 2:21
  your flight looking for the lowest price.
• 2:24
  Here's the number and you may want to write it down.
• 2:27
  It's 800-654-0759. Again, 800-654-0759.
• 2:54
  I thought we could have some fun with science in the Urantia
• 2:57
  book. You know, one of the criticisms
• 2:59
  of the Urantia book is that it doesn't appear altogether
• 3:02
  scientific. And I was listening and scanning
• 3:06
  some information. I'll play a little bit later.
• 3:08
  There's a scientist, obviously an astronomer has a lot of
• 3:11
  knowledge about the way the the Galaxy works and functions.
• 3:15
  He's going to come along and, and, and I'll play a clip for
• 3:18
  you where he describes how black holes are evidence of God's
• 3:23
  creation. And the way that he explains it
• 3:25
  is, is very interesting. And it also substantiates what I
• 3:28
  was reading today in, in the opening of where it talks about
• 3:31
  the beginnings of life on our world.
• 3:33
  And one of the, one of the comments that it makes, and I
• 3:36
  wanted to address it real quickly here.
• 3:39
  I, I ran across this statement where it talks about how the
• 3:41
  life carriers had to introduce a life form that could be
• 3:45
  sustained on our world based on the design of, of our
• 3:48
  environment. And there was a, a statement
• 3:51
  that said all ancestral life, vegetable and animal evolved in
• 3:56
  a salt solution habitat. And even the more highly
• 3:59
  organized land animals could not continue to live did not the
• 4:03
  same essential salt solution circulate throughout their
• 4:07
  bodies in the bloodstreams which freely bathed literally
• 4:11
  submerses every tiny living cell in this briny deep?
• 4:16
  So that's the quote from the Urantia book talking about how
• 4:19
  we have the salt in our bodies and that all life on Earth
• 4:23
  originated from a salt solution habitat.
• 4:27
  Sodium chloride was introduced and projected to be the chemical
• 4:31
  substance that the life carriers would use when they introduced
• 4:35
  life on our planet. Again, God, God's design.
• 4:40
  I was curious about that quote and I wanted to, I wanted to get
• 4:45
  confirmation if that statement is true.
• 4:48
  The statement that says that all ancestral life, vegetable and
• 4:51
  animal evolved in a salt solution habitat.
• 4:55
  And so I, I did a Google search on this and I, I was confirmed.
• 5:01
  The statement is actually factual.
• 5:03
  In fact, AI says the statement is broadly factual with a few
• 5:08
  scientific clarifications. The response says why it's
• 5:12
  essentially true. That statement that all our
• 5:14
  early life involved evolved in a salt water environment.
• 5:20
  It states the earliest light life forms we know arose in
• 5:23
  Earth's ocean, which are salt water.
• 5:25
  This is supported by geology, biology, and evolutionary
• 5:28
  science. The oceans provided the chemical
• 5:32
  stability required for early biochemistry, so the claim that
• 5:36
  all ancestral life evolved in a salt solution habitat is
• 5:42
  factually correct. Number 2, The eternal fluids of
• 5:45
  land animals are chemically similar to ancient seawater.
• 5:50
  Vertebrate blood plasma and interstitial fluid contain
• 5:54
  sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, magnesium,
• 5:59
  biocarbonate. These electrolyte concentrations
• 6:04
  mirror the chemistry of early oceans.
• 6:08
  Scientists often say mammals carry the ocean within them.
• 6:12
  Life moved on to land but retained an internal an internal
• 6:16
  ocean like salt environment for its cells #3 All complex land
• 6:22
  animals require a salt based internal medium.
• 6:26
  Every cell in a vertebrate body is immersed in interstitial
• 6:30
  fluid which is a salt solution. Muscles, nerves and metabolism
• 6:35
  all depend on electrolyte gradients.
• 6:38
  Without salt solution, nerves cannot fire, muscles cannot
• 6:41
  contract, cells cannot regulate water, blood cannot transport
• 6:46
  nutrients. So the statement that land
• 6:49
  animals could not continue to live without this salt solution
• 6:52
  circulating throughout their bodies is also biologically
• 6:57
  correct. So in essence, the statement in
• 7:02
  the Oranja book is absolutely true.
• 7:06
  And the paper that I'm referring to, paper 58 section one, goes
• 7:10
  on to say that your primitive ancestors freely circulated
• 7:14
  about in the salty ocean. Today the same ocean like salty
• 7:18
  solution freely circulates about in your bodies, bathing each
• 7:22
  individual cell with a chemical liquid in all essentials
• 7:27
  comparable to the salt water which stimulated the first
• 7:30
  protoplasmic reactions of the first living cells to function
• 7:35
  on the planet. And that's the explanation of
• 7:40
  early life forms and what they projected as what they call the
• 7:46
  life carriers projected a sodium chloride pattern of life.
• 7:50
  But it also adds that the life carriers had to patiently wait
• 7:53
  until the the oceans became sufficiently briny.
• 7:58
  And that took a long, long time, hundreds of millions of years,
• 8:02
  in fact. Another interesting thing that
• 8:05
  leads to this sound bite that I'll play is the this idea of of
• 8:11
  how the universe is constructed. Now, the Urantia book says that
• 8:15
  these dark islands of space, which is how it refers to it in
• 8:20
  the 30s when the Urantia book was written, we call them black
• 8:24
  holes, dark islands of space and black holes are essentially the
• 8:28
  same thing. They're they're they're dark,
• 8:30
  you can't see them and they have immense gravity.
• 8:34
  And in part because many of these dark islands or or black
• 8:38
  holes have different origins. Some are of former sons that
• 8:43
  have condensed and becomes so heavy with iron that they, they,
• 8:47
  the gravitational pull actually pulls in mass from the
• 8:51
  surrounding area in that cosmic neighborhood.
• 8:55
  And I'm not sure who this man is, but the Urantia book states
• 8:59
  everything that this man is saying here in the year 2025,
• 9:03
  thanks to our telescopes and all of our survey equipment.
• 9:07
  And it corroborates what the Urantia book was writing about
• 9:10
  in 1934. So I want you to take a listen
• 9:13
  to this. It's, it's a little bit long,
• 9:15
  but it's it's really a scientist saying that there's no way, no,
• 9:20
  absolutely no way that all of the universe is accidental
• 9:24
  causation. Take a take a listen to this.
• 9:28
  Black holes is evidence of God's care making the point that we're
• 9:32
  living in a Galaxy. You have to be living in a big
• 9:35
  spiral Galaxy for advanced light to be possible.
• 9:39
  But the bigger the Galaxy, the bigger the black hole at its
• 9:42
  core and the more dangerous it is.
• 9:45
  But for a variety of reasons, our Milky Way Galaxy has a black
• 9:49
  hole that's 40 times smaller than it should be.
• 9:53
  It's the only big Galaxy. It's got such a tiny central
• 9:56
  black hole. And it's because we've had no
• 9:59
  major merger event or the dwarf Galaxy in the last 11 billion
• 10:03
  years. And we have such a tiny black
• 10:06
  hole. And what's interesting too is
• 10:08
  you go back a million, 2,000,000 years ago it was consuming big
• 10:13
  asteroid and comet like bodies. Today it's consuming tiny ones.
• 10:18
  And so during the human era, we have a very quiet small black
• 10:23
  hole in its core. And likewise, the Andromeda
• 10:27
  Galaxy, which is another big spiral Galaxy, It's super
• 10:31
  massive black hole is the right size, 40 times bigger than one
• 10:34
  in our Milky Way Galaxy. But currently it's in the
• 10:38
  quietest space it's ever been. And if it wasn't, we wouldn't be
• 10:42
  able to have this podcast really.
• 10:44
  And likewise, you look at all the other super massive black
• 10:47
  holes in the vicinity of our Milky Way Galaxy.
• 10:51
  It's all designed in such a way that we can safely exist here on
• 10:56
  planet Earth. And yet many of the elements in
• 11:00
  your body that are essential for you to live, they're only
• 11:04
  constructed when neutron stars merge together to become black
• 11:08
  holes. So if you don't get adequately
• 11:10
  exposed our solar system to black holes when it's forming,
• 11:15
  we won't have the heavy elements you need to have human beings.
• 11:19
  And so everywhere we look with black holes, we see it's all
• 11:23
  amazingly designed so that we can thrive at this moment in
• 11:27
  cosmic history here on planet Earth.
• 11:30
  And yet many of the elements in your body that are essential for
• 11:34
  you to live, they're only constructed when neutron stars
• 11:38
  merge together to become black holes.
• 11:41
  So if you don't get adequately exposed our solar system to
• 11:45
  black holes when it's forming, we won't have the heavy elements
• 11:49
  you need to have human beings. And so everywhere we look with
• 11:53
  black holes, we see it's all amazingly designed so that we
• 11:57
  can thrive at this moment in cosmic history here on planet
• 12:01
  Earth. And that also speaks to not just
• 12:04
  our life, but the life of of hundreds, if not thousands of
• 12:07
  other worlds that are enjoying the same propitious environment
• 12:11
  that allows life to exist. And, and it is a delicate
• 12:15
  process indeed. Let me read to you just a couple
• 12:18
  more paragraphs from paper 58 on the life establishment of our
• 12:22
  world. They write the Earth's
• 12:24
  atmosphere is all but opaque to much of your solar radiation.
• 12:28
  At the extreme ultraviolet end of the spectrum.
• 12:31
  Most of these short wavelengths are absorbed by a layer of ozone
• 12:35
  which exists through throughout a level about 10 miles above the
• 12:38
  surface of the Earth and which extends space work for another
• 12:42
  10 miles. The ozone permeating this region
• 12:46
  at condition prevailing on the Earth's surface would make a
• 12:49
  layer only 110th of an inch thick.
• 12:53
  Nevertheless, this relatively small and apparently
• 12:56
  insignificant amount of ozone protects Urantia inhabitants
• 13:00
  from the excess of these dangerous and destructive
• 13:03
  ultraviolet radiations present in sunlight.
• 13:07
  But were this ozone layer just A trifle thicker, you would be
• 13:11
  deprived of all the highly important and health giving
• 13:14
  ultraviolet rays which now reach the Earth's surface, and which
• 13:19
  are ancestral to one of the most essential of your vitamins.
• 13:24
  And yet some of the less imaginative of your mortal
• 13:27
  mechanists insist on viewing material creation and human
• 13:32
  evolution as an accident. The Uranch Midwayers have
• 13:37
  assembled over 50,000 facts of physics and chemistry which they
• 13:42
  deemed to be incompatible with the laws of accidental chance,
• 13:46
  and which they contend unmistakably demonstrate the
• 13:50
  presence of intelligence, purpose or intelligent purpose
• 13:54
  in the material creation. Your Son pours forth a veritable
• 14:00
  flood of death dealing rays, and your pleasant life on your
• 14:04
  rancher is due to the fortuitous influence of more than two
• 14:09
  score, apparently accidental protective operations similar to
• 14:13
  the actions of this unique ozone layer.
• 14:17
  Were it not for the blanketing effect of the atmosphere at
• 14:20
  night, heat would be lost by radiation so rapidly that life
• 14:24
  would be impossible of maintenance except by artificial
• 14:28
  provision, Essentially all corroborating one another that
• 14:34
  this is a grand design. It's not accidental.
• 14:37
  And I hope that that's convincing to you to consider
• 14:41
  that what that scientist says with your rancher book puts out
• 14:46
  tells us that we live in a in a carefully orchestrated
• 14:49
  existence, certainly not one that is a result of accidental
• 14:53
  causation. So we have a little bit of fun
