• 0:02
  SPEAKER_01: Welcome to More Than Medic, where Jesus is more than enough for the ills that plague our culture and our country.
• 0:11
  SPEAKER_01: Hosted by author and physician, Dr.
• 0:13
  SPEAKER_01: Robert Jackson.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_02: Papa, can you tell me a story?
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_02: Do you really want me to tell you a story?
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_02: Well, you go get your brother and your sisters, and I will tell you a story.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_02: Welcome to Devotions with Dr.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_02: Papa.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_02: Gather around, grab your Bibles, and let's look into the written word which reveals to us the living word who is our Lord Jesus Christ.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_02: Today we're in Genesis chapter eight, verse thirteen to fourteen.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_02: Now it came about in the six hundred and first year.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_02: In the first month, on the first of the month, the water was dried up from the earth.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_02: Then Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried up.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_02: In the second month, on the twenty seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_02: Now, first thing I want to do is calculate the days.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_02: On day two hundred and sixty four a raven was released, and he did not return.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_02: On day two hundred seventy one, a dove was sent out, but it did return.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_02: It found no place for the sole of its foot to rest.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_02: On day two hundred seventy eight the dove was sent out and it returned with an olive branch.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_02: On day two hundred and eighty five, the dove was sent out and it does not return, indicating that it was dry enough to support at least bird life.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_02: On day three hundred fourteen Doah waited another twenty nine days to remove the covering of the ark.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_02: On day three hundred seventy one, Noah had waited fifty seven more days before leaving the ark to start a new life and a new world.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_02: There were thirty days in each month, and they were in the ark fifty three weeks.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_02: So here's my first question in today's lesson.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_02: What did Noah see when he looked out, having removed the covering of the ark and looked and the surface of the ground was dry?
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_02: Noah and his family disembarked from the ark of safety that had preserved them from God's awful wrath that destroyed but did not annihilate, as Peter said the world that then was perished, being overflowed with water.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_02: That's Second Peter chapter three and verse six.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_02: The ark carried them from the old sin stained cosmos through the Mabul.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_02: You remember that was the Hebrew word for the flood, the Mabul, the cataclysm to the present cosmos, the heavens and the earth, which are now, as Second Peter chapter three and verse seven describes the world that now exists.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_02: It reminds me of Jesus, who is the arc of safety that carried you and me from this stained sin stained world to a new heaven and a new earth, where the tabernacle of God is among men, and he will dwell among them, and they shall be his people, and God Himself will be among them.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_02: O glorious day.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_02: Jesus is the one who is our ark of safety, and will transport us from this world into the next world.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_02: All the lush tropical paradise that was in the former world was replaced with a desolate, muddy landscape with minimal vegetation.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_02: The previous warm tropical air was replaced with cold wind, rolling clouds, rainstorms, thunder and lightning, but at the same time all the vicious, corrupt and violent hordes of evil men that mocked God's original plan were now gone.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_02: God offered Noah's family a grace filled opportunity at a new start in a new world cleansed of wickedness.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_02: So let me ask you again, what did Noah see?
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_02: The creation scientists speculate that the oceans were probably much larger, since they contained the waters that were above the firmament, when the windows of the heavens were opened, and the fountains of the deep or the subterranean caverns were opened, and all of that water had to go somewhere.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_02: They went into the oceans which were now much larger.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_02: The land surface was necessarily less extensive, and large portions were uninhabitable due to extensive temperature changes, and high mountains, whose elevations were uninhabitable because of the high the cold temperatures at high mountain elevations, and now there were deserts around the equator.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_02: The vapor canopy was now gone, so now there were strong temperature variations, leading to polar ice caps and equatorial deserts.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_02: Tectonic plate shifts created mountains that didn't exist before the flood.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_02: Extreme weather was now possible, like rainstorms, snowstorms, making life difficult for both man and beast.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_02: Radiation from space was now a significant issue due to the absence of the water vapor canopy, causing a gradual decline in mankind's longevity.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_02: Creation scientists speculate that volcanic and seismic activity increased greatly for many centuries due to the movement of the continents, which in turn was due to instability of the Earth's crust.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_02: It probably took a year or more for plant life to reestablish itself in the muddy slurry that covered most of the planet.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_02: The pre flood year was three hundred and sixty days.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_02: Our year is three hundred and sixty four and one fourth day long.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_02: It's highly likely, according to the creation scientist, that the Earth rotation sped up by one point five percent after the flood to bring about the three hundred and sixty four and one quarter day year that we now experience.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_02: Now I know what you're thinking.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_02: What happened to all the people and all the animals that drowned in the flood?
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_02: Well, that's an excellent question, grasshopper.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_02: Well, if you were born in the nineteen sixties and early seventies, the question would be what happened or excellent question skywalker?
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_02: If you're a millennial, you'll need to ask your grandparents why I say excellent question, grasshopper.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_02: And if you were born way back in the fifties and sixties, well your grandparents will have to ask a millennial why I say excellent question, skywalker.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_02: It's possible that larger mammals and reptiles, like dinosaurs and the great woolly mammoths, were littered about the landscape as rotting corpses, a good reminder of the consequences of sin.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_02: The greater likelihood is that most remains of once living creatures were buried in the sediment and quickly being either decomposed or lithified, that means turned to stony fossils, turned into fossils, and as you know, there are great beds of fossils fossil bearing rocks just about everywhere in the world.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_02: The fossils are spread throughout the fossil bed helterskelter, but are arranged in a statistical order from the simple marine invertebrates on the bottom to the complex land vertebrates near the top.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_02: These creatures tend to be buried and fossilized in a certain order.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_02: They're not helter skelter like you think they would be.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_02: The certain order is like this increasing elevation of natural habitat, i.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_02: e.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_02: simple invertebrates buried at the bottom and complex vertebrates, larger vertebrates buried at the top, as you would expect in a cataclysmic worldwide flood.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_02: And an increasing ability to flee from the flood, those larger creatures who had the ability to flee from the flood, well they're at the top.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_02: Therefore, similar life forms tend to be buried together at the same location and the same level.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_02: Smaller animals at the bottom, larger creatures at the top.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_02: This is exactly what you would expect in a cataclysmic worldwide flood.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_02: Now here is where worldview comes into play.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_02: If your worldview is not biblically informed and completely excludes the possibility of a creator god that designed and fashioned the heavens and the earth and is just in destroying his creation when the burden of sin becomes too great, then you will look at the fossil record with the perspective, the world view of the atheistic evolutionist, and you will be compelled to interpret the fossil record as uniformitarian geologists do, teaching a gradual evolution of life from simple marine invertebrates ascending to complex land vertebrates over long geological ages.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_02: And that's what most of us were taught in school, and that's what the evolutionary geologists believe.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_02: And that's what they see when they try to interpret the geological fossil record.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_02: But here's the fly in the ointment.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_02: Or should I say the coelacanth in the fossil graveyard?
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_02: Now what's a coelacanth in the fossil graveyard?
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_02: And what in the world is a coelacanth?
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_02: Well, let me just read to you a paragraph from page one hundred ninety three in the Answers book.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_02: I think you'll find it fascinating.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_02: A great example is the coelacanth.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_02: Coelacanth fossils are found in marine deposits below dinosaurs and in other marine layers that date, according to the evolutionary geologist, about the same age as dinosaurs.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_02: It was once thought by the evolutionist that coelacanth became extinct about seventy million years ago, because their fossils are not found in any deposits higher than this.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_02: However, in nineteen thirty eight, living populations of coelacanths were found in the Indian Ocean.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_02: It appears that coelacanths were buried with other sea creatures during you guessed it, the flood, as we would expect.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_02: The example of the coelacanth shows that animals are not necessarily buried in the same place as other animals from different environments.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_02: We don't find human bones buried with coelacanths either, but we live together today, and people are enjoying them for dinner in some parts of the world.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_02: So you see, that really is the fly in the ointment.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_02: That is the coelacanth in the fossil record.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_02: Any fossil graveyard can exhibit a complex land vertebrate at the bottom and simple marine invertebrates at the top, which is exactly the opposite of what the evolutionary geologists would expect.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_02: If evolution is true, it shouldn't be that way.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_02: In one fossil there is a fossilized tree that is upright that spans three geological strata, and each strata supposedly represents millions of years.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_02: How can that be?
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_02: Well, if the evolutionary geologists are correct, it simply cannot be.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_02: Well, if you look at the fossil record through a biblical grid, through a biblical worldview, it all makes perfect sense.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_02: A catastrophic flood would be expected to deposit the smaller marine animals first and in abundance.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_02: You would expect a helter skelter deposition of large and small creatures in a worldwide flood.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_02: You would even expect a tree to be suddenly buried upright in the mud.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_02: You would even expect a silicant to be buried somewhere in all of that catastrophe.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_02: Evolution supposedly portrays life evolving from the primordial soup and ascending from simple to complex.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_02: Creation involves life appearing suddenly in all of its complexity, but the biblical record informs us that all life was destroyed by a worldwide flood.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_02: The fossil record speaks of death, worldwide death, massive worldwide death, and the fossil record speaks of death, worldwide death.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_02: Fossil graveyards point to a worldwide catastrophe, a catastrophic flood and its consequences, as you and I would expect.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_02: The record in the rocks is not a testimony to evolution, but rather to God's sovereign power and judgment on sin.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_02: The Bible tells us that Satan is the God of this world, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_02: He blinds the eyes of those who are in his grasp, darkening their understanding so that they cannot see the truth.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_02: If God has opened your eyes to see spiritual truth, to look through a biblical grid, do not be proud or arrogant.
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_02: Just be thankful.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_02: It is only by the grace of God and power of Holy Spirit that any of us have been plucked up from the miry clay, set on the solid rock, and given eyes that see spiritual truth, and set free from the power of the enemy of our soul.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_02: As the scripture says, Thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_02: Blessed, blessed be his name.
• 19:12
