“The Awe of God” - May 4th, 2025 - Special Guest Bruce Malone

What a joy to be in such a vibrant, exciting church filled with young people and families

and folks who want to be here to honor and learn more about the Lord.

Thank you for having me.

You would be amazed how few churches in America, probably less than 10% of churches across the country,

who would allow a speaker to come in and teach about a biblical creation worldview,

where there has been a real, literal world restructuring flood,

where there has been a real, literal God telling us 10 times

he created creatures to reproduce after their own kind.

Fish only make fish, birds only make birds, trees only make trees,

that he literally, as he said in the Ten Commandments,

made the heavens and the earth in six days.

Churches won't allow that to be taught, but you are.

And there is scientific evidence, overwhelming evidence, to support every single bit of that.

But the world's largely completely blind to it.

And by the way, the three o'clock talk that I'm going to give is called Blind to the Obvious.

How can 95% of all biologists and geologists and astronomers and cosmologists, how can all the museums,

how can all the park signs, most of the Internet information, how can it all assume,

all of the stuff I just talked about is totally wrong, irrelevant, and fantasy, and not even see the evidence.

They're not stupid people. How can they be so blind? We're going to talk about that, and it's really

important to know as Christians. Now, the topic of the sermon today, hang on one moment,

still coming. Okay.

is the awe of God.

Now, I'm an engineer, I'm a research leader, I'm a scientist, I've spent 27 years working, developing new products,

trying to understand how creation works.

It's like, it's how God built me.

Why do things work the way they do?

Why do things happen the way they happen?

And I've observed our culture since I became a Christian,

which was after college. I was pretty agnostic before that. I didn't care whether God existed or not.

And what I had been shown is that science explains everything without God, where the universe came from, where life came from, how a bacteria slowly turned into a human being. It's all facts of science. That's what I've been taught.

But I've watched is with every passing decade, our American culture becomes less and less Christian.

in its principles, its teaching, its understanding of things around us.

And right now, students coming out of university in the 20 to 25-year-old age frame,

only 14% of those students want anything to do with the Bible, churches, or Christianity.

Now, that is stunning.

You understand the implications.

We are in a course to become a less and less Christian.

Christian viewpoint, the Bible is the Word of God culture. Nine out of ten have one have nothing to do

with Christianity. And when asked why, they said, well, churches don't teach what I believe.

Because they've been taught the Bible can't be true throughout their education. Now, that's one part of it.

I've asked myself, how can students that grow up in churches and have read about the Bible and heard

about Bible and went to Sunday school just lose it all? How can you? How can you? How can you?

at a young child who is born with an inerrant awe of God when they look at a butterfly or a flower

or a beautiful sunset, they're born knowing there's someone behind it. You don't have to train it

into them. They just know it. How can they lose it? And I've thought about that because I'm an

engineer. And there's two primary things going on all around us in our culture. And Satan

ultimately trying to drive people away from a belief in a trust in God in God's word.

The first I've already mentioned, it is trained out of them.

Year after year, throughout our education, public education system, God is left out.

And if you leave out, what he has told us is the true history of the past,

that the worldwide flood would have created the rock layers very rapidly and very recently.

Therefore, the fossils and the rocks, they're not millions of years old if that's true.

But if there's never been this flood, then those huge layers have to be enormously old.

See, they're mutually exclusive.

They can't both be true.

But God's crystal clear which one is true.

And there's lots of evidence that supports it.

It's just not shown to people.

If you're trained that a bacteria turned into a human being, and it's a fact of science, and you can line things up,

and you show all sorts of superficial evidence supporting it,

then the Bible becomes irrelevant, and it's not true in that area.

So why would you spend your time and money being part of what seems to teach that sort of thing?

It's fantasy, like a flat earth increasingly the world around us.

So it's trained out of them.

But the second one is even bigger.

You see, the main reason that you will get that people don't want to believe in the Bible

in Christianity is that this is a fallen creation. It is not how God created it to be originally.

Now, he knew we were going to sin. He's outside of time, but he still made it. But he made it with no

death, no evil, no hidden agendas, no selfishness, no hate, no evil. It was perfect. And it says

even the animals ate from the vegetation of the plants.

There was no death.

And when we sinned what we did, and this is in essence, we spit in God's face.

We said, I don't want you to make the rules.

I want to decide for myself.

I want to make the rules.

What are we doing?

We're saying, I don't want you to be God.

I want to be God.

And God is just, and God is holy.

And he knows where sin will lead.

It'll lead to sexual perversion and sexual slavery and immorality and murder and hate and everything.

And a just God has to punish evil.

Or he's not just.

That's why death exists.

That's why disease exists.

That's why the death rate of human beings is 100%.

Because if it wasn't, we would live biologically forever and we'd be forever separated from the holy God.

So that the whole gospel message is tied to why is there problems and evil.

And that's the other thing going on.

Jesus said in this life, you will have tribulation, which that word means troubles.

You're going to be lied about.

You're going to have financial problems.

You're going to have health problems.

You're going to have relationship problems.

You're going to have all sorts of bad habits.

You're going to have issues you can't solve.

And it weighs on us, and it beats on us,

and we're just going through life lose this awe

of who this creator, savior, God is.

And that's why these sessions are so important.

Now, I normally will spend my time in teaching in Genesis,

the book all about creation and all about why death and evil exists

because of our actions and all about the worldwide flood.

But in this sermon, we're going to go to the second greatest book on creation in God's Word.

It is the book of Job.

Now, Job is literally the oldest historical book in the Bible.

It talks about true events that happened in real history.

And Jesus referred to it that way as real things, real people.

And the book is filled with scientific insights.

Now, Job lived about 200 years.

This happened after the flood.

The Bible puts the flood of Noah around 4,500 years ago.

And Lifetime started to drop off.

Very long initially, because there were very few genetic mistakes.

There hadn't been a flood.

The world was probably better protected by a magnetic field,

which is still deteriorating today at a rapid rate.

And by the time of Abraham, people were living in the range of 200 years.

So that's where I placed the Book of Job, about 500 years after the flood.

People were repopulating the earth.

The Tower of Babel has happened.

They've spread out to start to create different cultures.

The Egyptian culture is already in full swing by the time Abraham got there 3,900 years ago.

And it's filled with scientific insights.

It talks about things like this in the book of Job.

the earth hangeth upon nothing.

The earth just floats on nothing.

Now, that's an incredible scientific insight

that nobody could have known 4,000 years ago.

And yet there it is in the book of Job.

And there's many, many, many other ones.

It talks more about the ice age in Job,

the storehouses of ice.

The area is filled with snow, snow and ice,

anywhere else in Job than the whole rest of the Bible combined.

Because immediately following the flood, there would have been the ice age on the earth.

And that's a whole other issue.

But it addresses this key issue that beats every human being down as they go through their life.

Why do the innocent seem to die?

Why are their natural disasters?

Why are their cancers?

Have you just made the world this way?

And it's been going on for millions and billions of years with cancer and death and disease?

For no particular reason, because God, you made it that way.

Well, God, if you're almighty, why don't you change it?

And if you're all good, why are you allowing it?

If you leave out our actions as having caused it, it distorts the very image of who God is.

And it's not logical.

And no wonder people don't want to believe in such a God, because they're starting by denying true events of history.

We brought the curse upon ourselves.

And if it wasn't there, we'd forever be separated from God.

Now, in Job, we find the longest monologue of continuous God, the Creator God, talking to mankind in the entire Bible.

Three solid chapters of God doing nothing but talking.

And it's in response to Job's wondering about this question of pain and disease and hurt.

Now, I'm going to take about five minutes, and I know you're a well-taught church.

and you know the story of Job, okay?

And it's not a story, it's an account of what happened in an actual man's life.

But a great account of incredible faith is worth retelling.

So I'm just going to recount it briefly.

Now, Job was like the breezos of today, or the Bill Gates of today.

He was like the richest man in the world.

Unbelievable wealth.

God also pointed to him when Satan was asked to tempt him as someone who was righteous.

Of all the people on earth, God said, look at Job.

Look how this man honors and serves me.

He was born and he had seven sons and three daughters, ten kids, seven thousand sheep,

three thousand camels, five hundred dogs, five hundred donkeys, a very great household,

enormous numbers of servants, probably a private army.

And he was the greatest man in all of the East.

So, I mean, think of the richest person you can think of.

That was Job, but the richest person you can think of who also put God first.

He cared for people.

He helped guide the decisions of the cities.

He was righteous in his actions of decisions.

He honored God and all that he did.

I think this man suffered more than any other human being that has ever lived because of what happened to him simultaneously.

We all go through problems. We see enormous physical problems and emotional problems with people.

But Job lost all 10 children in a snap of a finger. I can't imagine the emotional pain.

Our son had stage four cancer with tumors in multiple places all over his body and it just looked like it was going to die.

And you can physically feel emotional hurt. It's so bad. God healed my son.

of that five years ago. And now his wife or daughter-in-law has stage four cancer, which is the chance of

that is one in less than 0.1 percent of a spouse and a husband having two different cancers.

They're both missionaries in Africa. And I am seeing signs God is going to do the second miracle.

And what a story of those two will have as they share the gospel. So anyway, I know there's a lot

of folks who even are here that have prayed. But if not, because God doesn't back.

to our wishes. He sees all eternity in advance, and he knows the impact of even tragedy.

My daughter-in-law will be with him in eternity forever, and she'll be healed there.

So we have that hope. And I think Job did, but he was a, I'm no enormous of pain.

Then he loses everything. All of his possessions, all of his farm, all of his cattle, all of his

money. Essentially, the implication is all of his servants. He goes from a trillionaire to destitute.

to with nothing.

Probably loses all of his friends,

for the most part.

What pain.

And then he comes down

to the disease so bad

there are boils,

oozing, pussing,

untolerably

painful

boils from the scalp

of his head to the soles of his feet

to the point the only

thing he can do

to relieve the pain

of the boils is to scrape his body with broken pottery to cause more pain to get the pain

off the like a million needles chubbing into his body everywhere all at the same time and he gets the

feeling it's going on for day after day week after week with no relief no reason and his life he's

been serving God then the biggest test of all comes from Satan

Satan sends people to tell him over and over again through 32 chapters of the Bible

that if you would just be a better person, if you would have just behaved better,

if you'd have just followed more rules, these things wouldn't happen to you.

If you work harder, you would be saved from all of this.

You understand what I'm describing?

Works salvation.

Our salvation is up to us to trying harder.

That's the final test.

and Job refused to admit that it was true.

And in the middle of it all, one of my favorite verses of the Bible,

first of all, his response was,

naked I came out of my mother's room,

naked I shall return,

in the midst of all this pain,

the Lord gives, the Lord have taken away,

blessed be the name of the Lord.

What a man.

What faith.

He's got the picture of who God really is.

and in all this Job said not.

And here's my favorite verse that comes up, middle of the book,

Job says, in response to this idea,

he's the one that's going to save himself.

He says, I know that my redeemer,

the one who will redeem things

of the way they're supposed to be,

liveth.

And he shall, in the latter days, stand up on the earth.

Now, who is that?

Jesus Christ.

There's Jesus Christ.

4,000 years before he came, God had already revealed to the people that our Redeemer was coming,

and it was up to God, not us. It's all there in Job. So in response to Job just begging,

why is it happening? What have I done? Why all the pain? Lord, it would be better that I'd never been

born. God shows up. And he gives the longest monologue in the Bible in response to us begging to

understand why we're going through what we're going through. So this is so relevant today.

The people around you are hurting. They have voids in their life. They don't know why bad things are

happening. All of us have one sort of an addiction or another sort of an addiction, and God can

help us remove it where we can't do it on our own. We're distracted by entertainment and money and

ambition and selfishness. And we know it's wrong because we have a conscience God's put within us.

But we can't want ourselves escape the bondage of sin.

So God gives this monologue.

And he starts with this question.

Job, where were you when I laid the very foundations of the earth?

Tell me if you have understanding.

And then he goes on with a three-chapter monologue describing,

he's made this and he's made that and he's made animals,

he's made the universe and he's made stars, and he's made this enormous animal that's described

exactly like an apatosaurus dinosaur. And Noah would have brought dinosaur-type creatures on the

ark, but they were called dragons in those days. And that's why all the ancient cultures have

these stories, but they've since went extinct. See, even stuff like that fit into a biblical narrative.

And at the end of all that, Job's response is this. I know, he's speaking back to God, I know that

can do anything, everything, and even our thoughts can't be withheld with you. And Job knew

God's character. He'd heard about God all his life. I've heard of you with the hearing of my ear,

and I've highlighted this. Job now says, but now my eye sees you. And when we are in God's

very presence, our most best effort at holiness is like filthy rags, according to Scripture.

Because there's always this hidden agenda, and we still have this fallen nature.

And every day, Paul says we've got to die through self and obey the spirit once we have

that spirit within us. So I abhor myself and I repent in dust and ashes. Now, did God physically

as a physical being, stand there in front of Job and give him this three-chapter monologue?

No, absolutely not.

But God reveals things in visions and in dreams, and even today.

We will have thoughts that are from God, and we've got to be in tune with those.

So what did Job mean?

My eyes have now seen you.

What God did was spend three chapters describing what he had made.

And when we really understand biology and geology and genetics and astronomy, the very laws of science,

the very observations, the very experiments we do will show us the creation operates by natural laws of science,

but those natural laws of science show us certain things could never happen.

So we can know God exists by observing its creation.

And by the way, in the book of Romans, the very first chapter, chapter 1, verses 18 and 19,

it says, every human being is without excuse for belief in God because of what he is made.

By observing creation, we will see God's very nature and power.

But if it all made itself, we're not seeing anything except evolution and random change.

See, New Testament and an Old Testament, this book points us to look at it.

at creation when we're at the end of our wits, when we have no solutions, when we're not

feeling God's presence, when we're not knowing God is there, we can have a rock-solid foundation

of knowing there's no other explanation. The only reason we exist is because God made us.

The only reason for everything around us is because God had to have been there. It's reality.

It's not faith and fantasy.

The world treats reality as if it's fantasy.

And then they present fantasy.

Chemicals could just come alive.

The universe could have made itself.

A bacteria could have turned into a person.

Oh, that's fantasy as if it's reality.

That's the world we're living in.

And guess who God gives the responsibility for putting the truth in front of a blind, dark world?

You guys, that's our reality.

responsibility. But you've got to learn enough about it to be credible to people who are blind to

help them come out of their blindness. That's why this is so important. Now, with that being said,

I'm going to take the last half of the sermon, and I just want to show you some of the things that,

I mean, when you really just don't flippantly watch them, you really comprehend what God has made.

It's like awe-inspiring to understand the things God has made.

And I'm going to deal with things that are alive.

You can look at it in a lot of different areas.

Now, the first one, oh, by the way, I want to end with one more little comment.

That's the verse in the New Testament.

Since the creation of the world, God's after roots are clearly seen.

Job said, now that I've heard about what you've made, I've clearly seen you.

Same concept, old and New Testament.

So at the end of Job's life, he doubled everything except his children.

He gave him 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 oxen, 1,000 donkeys, twice as much stuff, to bless him for his obedience.

And he gave him seven more sons and three more daughters.

Why did he double with the children?

Why do you get twice of everything else, and then he still just has 10 children at the end of it?

all. These are the kind of things that if you don't think them through, you miss these incredible

insights in God's word. You see, if God had given Job 20 children, there at the end, it would be

the same as God's saying those first 10 children no longer exist. They died, they're dust,

they're gone. It's like they never existed. But he didn't. He gave him 10 as an indication.

I have doubled your children.

Those 10 children, they're physically dead,

but their souls and their spirits are eternal.

And they're either going to spend eternity with me

or they're going to spend eternity separated for me

based on what they have done

with what I've revealed to them about how to be saved.

And that's only through Jesus Christ.

No one comes to the Father except through me

is what God told us as he was here as a human being.

not because of our efforts, only through what he has done.

It's not through what I've done plus a few other things you can do.

Only through faith we are saved.

But then we can grow as a Christian or continue to hang on to ideas that contradict the Bible.

So here's these insights from Job.

Pain and suffering are not caused by God.

We brought them upon ourselves, but they are allowed by God.

And when we understand that he's in control and allowing it, there's a reason.

How could we have empathy with someone who had all these problems?

No one of us had ever had the same problems.

Why people would come to God just because we weren't going to have problems now?

That's the wrong reason.

It will build our strength.

It will build our endurance.

It will build our faith by God allowing it.

And he will use it for His glory.

But that's the perspective we can have, even when it hurts.

During times of suffering, our faith will be rewarded.

And if not in this life, it will be rewarded at the end.

Job reminds us that life isn't all there is,

but we're not dead when we walk through that door we call death.

We're simply stepping without our physical body at the moment

when we'll be given new physical bodies at some time

when God redeems all of creation at the end of it.

And lastly, focusing on God, which we can,

We can't see touch feel here necessarily all the time, but we can see touch feeling here all that

he made, moves us past focusing on ourself and our own problems.

It's that tangible reminder he's real.

That's why this subject's so important.

Now, the awe of God.

We're going to look at seven creatures, unless I run out of time, and I think I'm good, that I

just think are awesome.

And the first one I came across, because I was going through a corn maze about five years

go. And this farmer would every year carve a different animal in amongst the corn, and that would turn into his maze. And the year I went, the animal looked like this little thing called a tartagrade. Now, you can see it there on the corn maze. This is like 20 acres of land. It's huge. But this is the smallest animal God has made that has legs. Now, spiders have eight legs, and octopus, they have eight legs. But he's the smallest, like, animal.

with eight legs that are actually legs.

The octopus are tentacles,

like dogs and cats and so on.

But the thing is, scientists discovered this animal

is almost indestructible.

Now, here's how small he is.

I want everybody, hold your thumb and your forefiger up

and try to get them as close as you can

without them touching, okay?

Thumb and forefinger, but don't let them touch.

That little gap is how big this animal is,

about half a millimeter long.

You really need a microscope to see him clearly.

And here's what he looks like.

And he cute.

He's like a little teddy bear.

And they actually make little titty bear tartagrade pillows, okay?

And he kind of swims along and he sucks up stuff through that little funny-looking

mouth that he has.

Well, I don't even know why, but for some reason, scientists, they do weird things.

They decided, let's, like, remove all the air and see how long it takes him to

die. So they did that. They tried to affixiate him, like in a big vacuum chamber, you just suck out

all the air. And he kind of flops over, and he looks like he's dead. But then as soon as they

added the air back, he just flops back up, and he's perfectly fine. No air for like days, and he's fine.

He comes right back to life. So they couldn't affixiate him, and he thought this is interesting.

Wish we could do that. And, you know, let's work on figuring out how it happens. And they would take

hundreds of changes in an animal to make it be able to do that.

It just couldn't happen randomly.

So it's been designed to do that.

So they up the radiation level here on Earth about a thousand times higher than it normally is from the sun.

Now the Earth has been given a magnetic field, which is really strong, and it causes most of the nasty radiation from the sun to like bounce away from the Earth.

Some still gets through, and that's what causes skin cancer.

it causes mutations and damage to our cells in the nucleus.

But they upped it a thousand times, and they irradiated him like his whole life,

and he didn't get cancer, and he didn't seem to die.

And then they looked at the next generation,

and they didn't seem to be any mutations or birth defects,

and they thought, this is really cool.

He's really radiation resistant.

So that didn't hurt him.

So then they thought, well, we'll just crush him like a cockroach.

Now, he's got a soft, squishy body, so they, like, shoved down on him until he's really, really flat, like a piece of cardboard.

And then when they let go, he just pops back up, and he's perfectly fine.

So they couldn't kill him by crushing him or affixating him or radiating him.

And by the way, Mr. Water Bear, he has some cousins that aren't quite as cuddly if you want to crawl up in bed with him.

This is what one of his cousins looks like.

Not quite as nice.

But he's got those eight legs, and he's just a variation.

He's one of the kind of this animal God made with lots of variations.

They tried to boil him.

How do you kill bacteria?

You boil him in a flask, and they boil it and boil it and boil it,

and they cool down the water, and he's fine.

Couldn't kill him.

So what do we do next?

We know we'll take the water away because he lives in water.

So they take away all the water,

and they put him in desiccants like a dry,

tomb and they dry it out and they leave him there for weeks and he's just laying there like a

speck of dust and they put a drop of water on him bloop and he comes right back to life

he couldn't dehydrate him and kill him. The only thing left is to freeze him. So they take him

down to like almost absolute zero, 200 degrees Fahrenheit negative and then they melt the block of ice

and he's just swimming around again. It's like God created an animal that no matter what you do to him,

you can't seem to kill him.

And there's nothing else like him in the whole animal kingdom.

It's just he's suddenly there.

Why would God do this kind of stuff?

I think so we start to have this essence and sense of his incredible awe.

And, you know, a scientist could probably spend his whole life

and his son's whole life just trying to figure out all the chemical changes

that are different inside of this animal that allow us something to do to these kind of

things. And if any of those chemicals are missing, it wouldn't work and he would die. See,

animals, they adapt to different environments, but it's because the information needed to survive

those different environments were already there to begin with. They were programmed in. And often

traits that aren't even seen, they're activated by the environment, and then they start to show

themselves. You can't take a pigeon and drop it into Antarctica, and it'll slowly turn into a penguin.

You can have a dead pigeon. See that what you need to survive has to already be there,

and then it shows up. And that's what we're finding more and more and more in biological life.

Now, here's another superpower besides almost immortality. He's given this creature the superpower

power of invisibility. There's a little thing called a sea sapphire, and it's this brilliant

blue color, because when light hits it, light is all the seven colors of the spectrum. All those

colors get absorbed, it will pass right through these little glass plates. Its whole body's covered

with scales like a butterfly, but these little scales are like microscopic little windows.

They're transparent. And all the colors of the spectrum pass through, except for

blue, and blue bounces back.

Except there's layer

after layer after layer of these scales.

And as soon as this little

sea creature turns,

the pathway of the light

changes as it goes from

scale to scale to scale. And now

blue also passes through.

And God made its internal

body that's a fluid

filled with little fluid

transparent organs

that are like the fluid in our eyeball.

So as soon as it turns,

turns, light passes through the scales, it passes through its body, it passes through the bottom,

goes to the bottom of the seafloor, and bounces back. And it's not disguising himself. He's

actually becoming invisible. Now here's a little like 10-second clip, and it shows this creature

floating, and you'll see a little bit of blue, and when he chain turns, you could see the

sea floor right below him as if he's not even there. Watch, watch, watch what happens.

So there he is, kind of flashing blue.

Now, he's there.

You're seeing the ocean below him, and he just turned back.

Isn't that cool?

God created a little animal that can become literally 100% invisible, and then turn it on again.

Isn't that cool?

Now, that is so perfectly designed.

Yeah, I mean, that's the kind of response.

It's like, God, you're so awesome.

awesome at the kind of things you've been able to do. Engineers can't do that. We could never

create that. It's alive. It makes copies of itself. It's a million times more complex than any

machine we've ever made, and every part has to be perfectly designed or nothing works. It's so

obvious it couldn't have made itself. Number three, scientists wanted to study how smart

animals are. And we've always known honeybees are really smart. They have a brain the size of a grain of

sand. So they decided, well, let's do an experiment to see how quickly they can pass information

onto each other. Now here was the experiment. They took a hive of bees and they marked them

so they would know when a bee showed up from that hive. Then they put some really good nectar,

a rich source of food about 150 feet away, and they opened up the hive, and they

there waiting for a bee to show up from that hive.

Now, it's like maybe a radiation they're looking for that they've marked the bee with.

And as soon as a bee shows up, they'll start a stopwatch.

Now, here's what happens with bees.

When they find, like, a field full of flowers, they want the rest of the bees from a hive

to come help them collect it.

So they fly back to the hive, and they start to do a dance.

Now, we've learned this from clear back in the 1960s.

The bee that found the food will look at the sun.

it knows where the hive is

and it will measure the angle

from the sun to the flower

based on the hive being at the focal point

of that angle.

So 115 degrees in this case.

Then it flies back to the hive

and it does this little dance

where it starts wiggling its butt.

So it just wiggles its butt

and it walks along, wiggling its butt

and all the other bees are looking and saying

ooh, what's George doing? He's wiggling his butt.

In the direction, the angle from the honeycomb to the direction he's traveling is the angle they have to fly to find the flowers.

And whether it goes around in a circle or a series of number eights and the number of times tells them how far they have to fly.

So he's telling all those other bees the direction in the distance to go find good food and then they all fly out to get it.

Now imagine could evolution do this?

A billion years ago, a bee has a great idea.

I'm going to fly back to the hive and tell my buddies where to find the food.

And he comes in and he starts wriggling his butt and walking along the hive.

And all his friends are saying, George is having an epileptic fit.

How are they going to know what he's telling them?

It's programmed in knowledge by God.

It's so astounding.

So a bunch of bees show up 10 minutes later.

And the researchers pick up the food, and they move it 300 feet away.

While bees shows up, they start their stopwatch.

Ten minutes later, a bunch of bees from that hive show up.

He's flown back and told him what to do.

They move up 450 feet away.

Same thing happens.

Start their stopwatch.

The bee flies come brings back the buddies about 10 minutes.

Now, you know, they cover up the food.

The bees disperse.

You know, they wait maybe half an hour and hour.

Make sure there's none there.

They move it 600 feet away.

They uncover it.

They turn on their detector.

And there's hundreds and hundreds of bees from the hive in that exact spot.

The bees saw the pattern.

Well, these guys, they keep moving the food in the same direction, 150 feet each time.

They thought, it's going to waste energy to fly back to the hive.

We'll just fly ahead and wait for them to show up.

The little grain of sand brain outsmarted the Princeton researchers.

Isn't that cool?

God, it's just astounding.

Okay, I've only got time for two more, okay?

Now, these books out there, they're tools.

The examples that I'm giving you are all different pages.

Every day of the years, there's a different topic.

Now, it might be about dinosaurs, it might be about fossils, it might be about genetics,

but there's a bunch of examples of inventions that have changed all of human history

because people have looked at what God's made and copied it.

That's one of the talks this afternoon at 4 o'clock.

The other talk this afternoon is the blind to the obvious.

How can the world be so blind where I'm looking at some of this undeniable evidence for creation from biology, geology, astronomy, that the world just is blind to.

They ignore.

They deny, even though it can't be denied.

And the books are full of these things, okay?

So there's lots more in there if you want more of these kind of things.

But I'm going to show you, I started making a series of videos about four years ago where I'm just making two to three minute little talks.

And if you sign up for my newsletter, it's absolutely free.

It only comes out four times a year.

I don't like to bug people and over-informed things.

Every couple weeks, I put out one of these little three-minute videos, and it's this reminder that God's behind it all.

And you can just take that email message and forward it to the friends or colleagues.

or family or children or grandchildren,

that they're being trained to leave God out.

And we all need that reminder.

He's behind everything.

Now, this is one of those little videos.

And by the way, because I always run out time at the end anyway,

I spent three years taking 35 years of teaching,

turning it into a series,

there's now 20 of them, of 45-minute teachings.

They're a lot like this lecture,

except they're filmed at the Grand Canyon,

They're filmed at Mount St. Helens.

You know, they found dinosaur prints with human prints in Texas, at Glenrose, Texas.

And it's well, well, well documented and photographed.

But it's just ignored by the world.

And I stood in that river beside dinosaur prints and talked about how do dinosaurs fit into history.

It's all filmed on location.

It's 20 hours of like Blu-ray quality video.

You just plug it into your TV or your computer and you can watch them.

And it's $40.

I spent $200,000 filming these things.

It takes two months to do one 45-minute film.

So they're really, really well done.

We're going to run out of them

because they sold so well at our last several venues.

But sign up and we'll get them to you

and get them back to you in the mail.

But it's called the Rocks Cry Out series.

And it also includes 60 of these little videos.

So just kind of watch and think,

watching these things,

how's it going to impact the thinking of folks around you

and point them back toward the course.

credibility and the reliability of God's word, which, by the way, is the natural segue. If you know

God exists, you know God has made you, therefore you inherently know you are accountable to

obey that God. That's nothing compared to knowing how much God loves you and how the price he has

paid to bring you back into fellowship with him. See, one naturally leads right.

right into the other. Our ministry is about evangelism far more than a bunch of knowledge about

creation. So here's what these videos look like. Okay. There we go.

You know, God told us to take dominion over creation in the book of Genesis. That means to

study, understand, and control it. Now, why? Because we can learn so much from it. I mean,

we can even learn from a slug. A slug, you see?

say? Yeah. It turns out that there's a certain kind of slug that lives in northern Europe

that slugs, when they move, they leave a slime trail. It's just kind of a sticky, gooey,

watery thing. You can actually see their trail as they're crawling along. Well, scientists started

this study, this slug from Europe, and they realized their slime is very, very elastic,

which means you can stretch it and it'll snap back, and very, very sticky. Now, for you

years, scientists have used things like super glue to bind up wounds. And they thought, it's a little

toxic and it turns a little brittle. What we need is a really flexible glue that will stay sticky.

And they discovered this slug slime and thought these has the perfect characteristics for glue.

Now, don't get too excited about, you know, having some slug slime slapped onto your cut because

it takes a lot of slugs to form enough slime to bit the market. And, you know,

Now, slug slime farms aren't exactly practical because the slugs only exude this kind of slime when they're scared

because they don't want birds.

Like if a bird's flying overhead, out comes the sticky slug slime glue.

And if the bird comes and tries to pull the slug off the sidewalk, it's stuck to the sidewalk.

So the only way to get the sticky glue is to scare the slugs.

And slug slime farms aren't exactly practical.

I mean, you set up a movie theater, you put all your slugs on the seats,

and you show them movies of scary birds,

and then you scrape the slug slime sticky glue off the seats.

I mean, not exactly practical.

So what do they do?

They figured out how to synthesize it.

And we now have the formula for sticky slug slime glue

that is currently being used to seal up wounds.

Isn't that cool?

because we figured out what God did first.

So we can learn from creation, develop products that benefit us in a multitude of ways,

even slug slime glue.

What a slugger of an idea.

Okay, I'm about one minute from being done, and I'm already two minutes over.

I'm going to finish with one last thing.

There are 40 different creatures in creation who create light.

And they do it by mixing two completely different chemicals together.

And when the chemicals come together, they react and form light.

Now, that means they have to have chambers that separate these chemicals.

They have to have bodies that can create these chemicals.

They have to have a chamber that they can mix them together in.

They have to have a membrane that allows the light out.

And if any of it's missing, they've wasted all of this biological energy and resources

to create something that does nothing.

So it all has to be there.

And it's supposedly just made itself 40 different times throughout millions and millions of years throughout biology.

It's an absurd belief to believe that.

You see it in jellyfish.

Plankton have nothing to do with jellyfish.

You see it in little tiny microscopic plankton.

In the Amazon jungle, there are mushrooms that send out green light.

Under the ocean, there are squids that have a billboard pattern of blues and greens and oranges and yellows,

flashing and moving across their body.

And 2,000 feet under the water where not a photon of light will reach,

there's a fish with a light bulb on a stalk so it could attract other fish and eat them.

Completely disconnected.

And then the God of the universe put a light bulb on the butt of a bug.

Lightning bugs.

And there's all these different kinds.

And here's where I want to end.

If the God who created every single one of us,

and he tells us before the creation of the universe,

before he made this box of time, space, energy, and matter,

and time is part of the box.

So God is outside of time.

So it's like he sees he actually is in the past, present, and future all at the same time

because he's outside of time.

He knew us.

Before any problem you ever had,

he knew you were going to have it.

Before he made the universe.

When you pray, and there's 8 billion other people on the planet,

and you spend an hour in the fellowship with the Holy Creator God of the universe,

he's got just as much time to spend with every other one of the 8 billion people on this planet,

because he's outside of time.

That God, once we accept him as our Savior,

not before, before that, we are the children of darkness.

We are in chains and bondage to our sin, and we can't not sin.

It's our inherent nature.

Once we accept his forgiveness for our sins, it's not just, oh, now we're going to heaven.

We are now inhabited by the Holy Spirit, and we have the power to choose whether we will sin or not from that moment forward.

We still choose to sin, but we don't have to, because we're now the children of the light, the children of the day, not of darkness.

So let us put on that breastplate of faith and love the absolute assurance of salvation that he has given us, that he's not going to take it away because we didn't do anything to deserve it, except that faith that he did it for us, and go through life making a difference with that light.

And that's what these kind of mornings are all about, to give you tools to do exactly that.

And we're going to end by glorifying that creator and savior.

Thank you.

Thank you.
