EVERYTHING BURNSJoy of Creation Story Mode - Part 5 (ENDING)



He's here, Isn't he? OH! HEY! OOHH HI! HEY OH MY GOD! (X4) Hello everybody! My name is Markiplier, and welcome back to the Joy Of Creation: Story Mode. Now I didn't notice the bloodstains on the door before... They may have been there or they may have just added that in as I came in to play the attic. But let's go in there because this is supposedly the last...

Memory to recover. Seems a little peculiar. "You've been on this for too long, Scott. They're barely holding themselves together any--" "WHY?!" "I HAVE BEEN A GOOD MAN!" "WE'VE BEEN GOOD PEOPLE!" "WHY HAVE YOU DEMONS COME TO TORTURE ME.

AND MY FAMILY?!" "I... Um... I- I was saying... That we've gone--" "STOP IGNORING MY QUESTIONS!" "IF I'M GOING TO DIE AT LEAST I WANT TO KNOW WHY!" "CAN YOU AT LEAST GIVE ME THAT?!"   "Look, I'm sorry." "It's just the way things have to go." "It's just a part of life!" "Um..

For us, I mean..." "Their bodies are hardly keeping themselves together, so they've gathered themselves in the basement." "They can't just..." "Kill you directly, you know." "I promised them I'd leave you to them." "So... I brought you here to..." "At least try to talk to you before they arrive." "So before they get you and everything burns..." "I'd like to thank you. For giving us this opportunity." "To see the world through the eyes of your creations." "Being Michael Schmidt has been an..." "INCREDIBLE experience, I mean I feel..." 'I feel fantastic! I want to keep feeling like this forever!" "ARGH!" "And to do that... I need you to die." "LEAVE US ALONE!" Okay, I'm grumpy.

I'm ready to fight with fisticu--Oooooh, hey! That rumblied in my tumbly. What are you doing? Ah! Ah. "Space to switch sides, left click to interact with items." Looks like I'm gonna be going to the CLASSIC style of Five Nights at Freddy's. Me, a Computer and a whole bunch of animatronics trying to rip my guts out.

Ooh? Nice.. *Mark shits his pants* OH NO! I FORGOT.

Kay there, Fredboy! *Slams door* *weird noises* *Mark screams excitedly* Man-- whaaat? (Mark's face) *deflated* Well, I thought I won! *Reading* Man found dead in his own house..

Body found by landlord in recently repaired Country hoUSE?! WHAT?! Who's dead?! Is that me dead? 'Cause that looks like the house from the beginning of the game.. (Mark's face) I don't like this... I don't like this at all... I don't like NONE of this...

All right, what does it mean? Oh! There we go! *Loud noise* OH! That's the bad man... *Scott grunting* (Mark's face) *Intermittent grunting* *mumbling, indistinct* Back.. *Coughs* Where... Where are you?! *Radio* You really love your family..

*Static* ...Don't you? *Panting, grunting* *radio, indistinct* Y'know? Michael: Survive the night.. Just wait for 6:00 a.M. And it will all be over.. That's how it worked there before...

Right? Michael, indistinct: We survived their games... *Scott groaning* *shaky breathing* Michael: This night... Won't go away until you've been consumed by the fire. Scott: What of them...

If I have to go...? Will you please promise me... They'll be safe...? *Radio static* Scott, weakly: Promise me... You won't hurt them... Please! *Scott sobbing* *Scott gasps* *Scott groaning, animatronics laughing(?)* *(Random insert)look into my eyes* Okay! That's weird..

*Scott screaming in pain* (probably ultimate climax) Hmm, I don't know about that... Something fishy going on here... Young Nick: Mommy! Daddy's coming out of the house! Val: Honey?! Scott: Val! I'm here! Young Nick: Daddy! Val, sobbing: Oh, hon, I was SO worried... Scott: It's okay, Val.

It's okay... We're safe now. Scott: Have you called 911? Val: Yes... Yes, I did.

As soon as we got out, I called them. Val: Like, a-a few hours ago... Val: They said they'll be here as soon as they could... Val: Oh my god...

You stayed inside there for so long! Val: I thought you--
Scott, monotone: But I didn't. Don't worry. Everybody is fine. Nick: Daddy, what happened to home? Why is it burning?! Nick: Is Michael still in there? Scott: You're safe.

*Mumbling* all that matters. Scott: You're safe. Nick, worried: Dad?
Val: Everything... Everything is gone! Scott, robotically: You are safe.

That's all that matters. Nick: Dad! You're acting weird... Scott: You are safe now. That's all that matters.

Val, scared: Honey, are you all--
Scott: You are safe... That's all that matters. *Scott keeps repeating himself* Nick, scared: Daddy, no!
Val, crying: Oh, my god.. Oh my god! *Scott's voice starts glitching* Animatronic in Scott's voice: See, they're safe now.

Just as you wanted... Thank you for your cooperation, Scott Cawthon. I'll take care of everything from here... *Mark scoffs* Well, alright then! That's just how that-- *stuttering* That's the way that that goes *more stuttering* That is the thing that is that.

(What?) Well! So, that's that then. Uh... *Sighs in disbelief* Uh, okay, anyway, so Body was taken over by Michael... And now Scott's...

Dead? Got the purple guy treatment to him or something like that? I have no idea, but either way this was... Amazing. AMAZING! I'm not even lying about that, this was amazing This is, by far, THE best Five Nights at Freddy's fan game ever made and I don't know! I-I kind of want to say, I enjoyed this Even more than the actual games themselves! Like, just from a gameplay stand point And-and I'm only speaking from a gameplay stand point because Obviously, this game would not exist if those games, uh, didn't exist before and obviously inspired this. I'm not saying one is better than the other but just from like an enjoyability Factor like there's a lot of mystery here There's a lot of story.

Each level had a unique mechanic! An entirely unique mechanic! Each of those levels could have been their own self-contained games with ramping difficulty! But instead they were all one, and it was just awesome! The experience was great! The developer of this game is just-- they made-- they made something GREAT! They made something literally great And it was free! And I would have paid money for this, I would have paid 20 bucks for this! I would have gladly paid 20 bucks for this! Oh, man! I don't know how Scott feels about, uh, him being murdered in a fan game, but yeah It's whatever, there's probably more... So I want to see what's in the extra menu here Cuz I got a funky feeling. It's probably something funky, fresh. Oh, hi, fred boy.

I was looking for you for so long Oh, you're moving! Oh good for you The ignited... OH, I can rotate them! Oh, goody, Goody gumdrop. Aw... So we got Fredboy.

We got Bonnie boy! We got Chic(a) the girl Eugh.. We got Foxy... And Golden Freddy who's floating? *Laughs* Oh... Nice, okay.

Yeah, 'Endo B "Angel"'? Ohh, as in like, uh A weeping angel from Doctor Who because that's kind of what it was. Not as fast, mind you, but... Thankfully, that's good 'Endo R "Blue", 'Endo C "Mouth"-- Eugh, Mouthy. Oh, this is the one that surprised me a few times 'Endo F "Red"...

Mmm, great! That's a foxy type. "Creation"... I don't even know what-- why-why did you need to do this? Why was this at all necessary? Ugh.. What is the third leg doing there? And the stumpy arms..

You ain't doing nothing! Oh boy.. So, "enemies" "Newspapers", I didn't get all the newspapers, but yeah, I did notice that I was collecting newspapers throughout the different places So there was "living room", "Two Nights of Five Nights at Freddy's", Let's see.. "Haunted Woods" "Cancelled New FNAF Game Stopped", and I got a clipping only there! *Reading* So you get these pieces of these newspapers throughout, and I bet I bet there's something there if you get if you get all of these there's some secret to be unlocked here And that means you got to play it over again, but there's also "bedroom blind mode", "basement-- Bedroom blind?! I mean I could have probably done it blind, I guess I don't really need it, but I need to know where the goddamn light is and then "survival mode" I don't know what "survival mode" is, but I want to see behind the scenes Ah, cool! Oh *creepy voice* "The Creation" Oh, cute. Oh man, a lot of work went into this-- That's the thing! Like, so much work went into this.

Anyway, I want to see what-- I can get what these are, I want to see what Survival Mode is Let's see.. *Reading* *high pitched* Eh! Oh! Then what's base room-- *reading* Hmm.. Okay. What's the basement run? Complete the basement run in under eIGHT MINUTES?!  IT TOOK ME LIKE 40! You won't be able to pause the game.

No cutscenes. You automatically lose if you go over the time limit you die you lose Makes sense to me, okay So that's more challenges for me to do so if you guys want to see these Let me know down in the comments below but this game was amazing and obviously there's a Mystery to be solved here in terms of the actual newspaper clippings, and I want to see where they are I just don't know when it comes to like the baby crib, Where would it have been there? Underneath the pillar? I don't know but Somewhere, so either way Thank you everybody so much for watching just stare at the lovely creation right here And thanks again everybody for watching And as always! I will see you... In the next video! Buh bye! *Music*.

Earth Mothers and Rebellious Sons - Creation Part 3 Crash Course World Mythology #4



Hey there, I'm Mike. This is Crash Course Mythology, and today, we're gonna pick up where we left off last week, talking about sex. Mythological sex. Legendary sex! Sex that results in the creation of the world.

There's also gonna be more castration, and also dwarfs Stop hiding, Thoth! You can handle it. This time, we'll focus, not only on sex itself, but on a common side effect: children. Mostly adorable mythological babies, but there are also those who are self-begotten Like our own Thoth, and also like Athena, Greek goddess of wisdom, who sprang fully-grown from the foreheads of their fathers. Long before epidurals were invented too.

Yeowch... [Opening Theme] Last week, we started with spitting, vomiting fathers, some of whom managed to pull of creation without any female counterpart. In general, though, the world's creation myths include some kind of duality. Whether it's that separation of male and female, light and dark, good and evil, or day and night The idea of "Mother Earth" is a pretty common one in the west, and it's been remarkably persistent.

In fact, in the 1970s, British scientist James Lovelock updated the myth in a scientific hypothesis, defining "Mother Earth," Under her Greek name, Gaia, as: So, let's begin with the mother of them all: Gaia. According to Hesiod: And a bunch of other supernatural beings, including Coeus, Crius, Theia, Rhea, Memory (Greek name Mnemosne) Phoebe, Tethys, and most important for us in this episode, Cronus, God of Time, and... Future castrator. These beings are called the Titans Gaia also bore the one-eyed cyclopses, and the Hecatoncheires, who were giants with a hundred arms, and fifty heads That were so scary, that Heaven (Uranus) hid them away in a cavern, inside of Earth (Gaia), called Tartarus, which made Earth...

Angry. But really, can you blame Heaven? Those are fifty faces only a mother could love... Before we get into all the incest and castration that follows, let's pause and think about why people might want to characterize Earth as a mother, rather than a father. One obvious answer is that, traditionally, mothers are the ones who give birth (unless we're talking about seahorses).

So it's not a huge stretch to think of creation as coming from mothers. And mothers are nurturing, in the biological sense: that they provide physical food for infants. By the same token, in agricultural societies, and probably hunter-gatherer and herding cultures too, the Earth provides the food that people and animals need to live. So the metaphor of "Mother Earth" makes a lot of sense.

The mothers of myths aren't always the most doting, and they're often pretty powerful. In many myths, they love their children a lot more than their husbands, who, to be fair, can be apocalyptically horrible. Let's go back to the Greeks. We saw in a previous episode what happened when Earth, or Gaia, was ticked off that Sky, AKA Ouranos, had locked up her fifty-headed children.

She gave a sickle to her son Cronus, who castrated his dad, and as a result, Aphrodite was born. Surprisingly, Ouranos didn't harbor too many hard feelings, maybe because he and Gaia knew that it would soon be curtains for Cronus. At the hands of his own children no less We're gonna see this prophesy about a son overthrowing, or possibly even killing, his father... A lot.

And your parents were worried about your goth phase. Ugh... Cronus, knowing what he had done to his own father, was understandably nervous about HIS children, born to his sister Rhea. Again, incest, pretty common in cosmologies and pantheons...

Actually, maybe we can just have some kind of... Incest Alert, instead of me mentioning it every time it comes up? Yeah. That's perfect. That's great So, as each of his children were born, Cronus took them up, and swallowed them.

As Hesiod tells us: In the same way that Gaia was upset about Ouranos imprisoning the Hecatoncheires, Rhea was not thrilled about Cronus eating all of her children. So with the help of her parents, she came up with a plan. When her son Zeus was about to be born, Rhea snuck off to Crete to give birth, and handed baby Zeus off to his grandma, Gaia Rhea then wrapped a stone in a onesie, showed it to Cronus, who (no big surprise) grabbed the stone, and ate it. Apparently he had very strong teeth, and also was somehow unfamiliar with the density of your standard baby, but hey.

Okay. Zeus grew up, and he set to work overthrowing his dad. And fulfilling the prophesy, 'cause that's how prophesies work. Knowing that he needed help to unseat his father and the other Titans, and also to set his siblings free from daddy's tummy, Zeus released those fifty-headed hecatoncheires, and together, they went to war.

He also freed Rhea's other children, and together, they defeated the Titans, and Zeus and his fam became the Gods of the Greeks. Like I said, this idea of the son rising up to supplant the father, causing a war in Heaven, is pretty common in a number of creation stories. For example, in the Norse creation myth from the Prose Edda, an old Norse text, we find the evil frost giant Ymir Who not only created man and woman from his sweaty left armpit, which explains a lot when you think about it, but also created a family of frost giants. And also also, somehow, another man named Bri, who has a son named Borr, who in turn married Bestla, the daughter of the frost giant Boelthor Because, I guess alliteration was in the style at the time.

Bestla gave birth to three sons: Vili, V, and Odin. So here's where the story gets really interesting. Thought Bubble? The three brothers, Vili, V, and Odin, HATED Ymir and the other frost giants (even though they created them. Notice the emerging theme here?) So then they battled and defeated them, killing Ymir, then the three gods used Ymir's body to create the world.

His flesh became Earth. His bones became mountains and stones. His blood served well to make the lakes that dotted the world, and the seas that surrounded it, and his skull was used for the sky. And, yes! This does sound a lot like the Chinese creation myth of P'an Ku, with a skull, instead of a cosmic egg.

But I guess god blood always turns into water... Anyway. A dwarf stood at each of the four corners of the sky. The dwarfs were named East, West, North, and South The gods made the sun and moon from the sparks of Mspell.

To the giants, they assigned a place called Jotunheim The brothers then created a fertile land called Midgard from Ymir's eyebrows, and they created a man from a fallen ash tree, and a woman from a fallen elm. Odin gave them life, Vili gave them intelligence and emotions, and V gave them senses. Ask was the man, and Embla was the woman. These were the parents of the human race.

And because the Norse gods were very into upcycling, out of the maggots that had come from Ymir's rotting flesh, the gods made dwarfs. More dwarfs! As for the sons of Borr, they formed a family of gods and goddesses called the sir, led by the father god, Odin. They built a wonderous home over Midgard, and called it Asgard. The two zones were linked by the rainbow bridge, Bifrst Thanks, Thought Bubble! We'll be hearing more about these gods of Asgard later, but right now, I want to use this myth as a "rainbow bridge," my favorite kind of bridge, to a similar creation story.

Fans of Crash Course World History know that we love the Epic of Gilgamesh, but there's another sacred text from that part of the world: The Enuma Elish, from Babylonia, that gives us one of the worlds oldest creation stories And hey, surprise, it features a war between younger gods and their parents. As a bonus, it also has: primordial waters, an angry mother goddess, and a big bad creator dad. Oh! Stan, could you just make a note to trademark "Angry Mother Goddess" and "Big Bad Creator Dad?" Band name, game series, sandwich menu items; the possibilities are endless. In the beginning of the Enuma Elish, the primordial freshwater, Aps, and the primordial saltwater, Tiamat, "get together," if you catch my drift.

And produce the land, in the form of silt deposits Lahmu and Lahamu. The land then got together, and created the first family of gods: Anshar, Kishar, and their son Anu Who then created a second set of deities, lead by Ea, not to be confused with the Greek Eos, which means "dawn." Ea and his brothers were a WILD bunch of crazy kids who disturbed their grandparents, Aps and Tiamat. Before Aps could carry out his plan to force Ea and his brothers to "turn down their music and go to their rooms!" Ea and Koh[?] Killed Aps. Which does seem a little extreme.

Unsurprisingly, Tiamat was... None too happy, so she created a bunch of snakes, dragons, fishmen, bullmen, and other horrors to teach those boys a lesson. Ea, Anshar, and Anu went to war against the monsters, but were unable to defeat them without the help of Ea's son, Marduk Now, Marduk, whom Ea called the Great Sun (with a U), was no dummy, and he saw his father's weakness as a chance to take over. So he made a deal with Ea.

Marduk would help defeat Tiamat if he could be named King of the Gods and, also, the Universe. Ea agreed to Marduk's deal, and he went off to fight Tiamat, who, as sometimes happens, had transformed herself into a sea monster. We made it! We made it to sea monsters. Anyway, you probably know where this is going.

Marduk defeated Tiamat, and became the king of the gods. But, hey, surprise ending: Marduk took Tiamat and divided her like a shellfish, to create the world. Like weeding. And estate planning.

Gods hate that stuff! So, once again we see that a parent is divided up to create the physical world. Often, this division is described as a sacrifice, and used to explain sacrifice rituals that we find in many religions Now, are these myths just a way of justifying existing religious rituals, or is there something else going on here? Maybe these myths have a psychological dimension too. They illustrate the willingness parents may have to sacrifice ANYTHING for their children. But also, some of the messy, complicated, angry feelings that parents can feel towards their kids, and that kids can feel towards their parents.

Though, thankfully, that usually doesn't result in castration. These myths show us that these feelings are as old as, and are even maybe the source of, creation itself. Thanks for watching!

DON'T LET THEM FIND YOUJoy of Creation Story Mode - Part 2



That's- that's not a good SOUND. Aaaaaahhhhhhh! Hello, everybody! My name is Markiplier, and welcome back to the Joy of Creation: Story Mode. Now we're on the way to the living room and we got a long way to go before we get to the end of this game. ..

And I have a funky feeling that's going to end in either the attic or the basement. But with that being said we got to get through the living room first. Let's go into.. Let's go into the living room and see what happens in there Scott: Do you really think it was a good idea letting him stay? Val: Well, it's not like he was in any condition to do anything.

Did you see his clothes? Scott's Wife: It's like he came out of a bonfire... Scott: I mean, I could've... Mark: A bonfire? Scott: ...You know, called an ambulance, maybe dropped him off near a hospital would've been better. Scott: I just don't think I feel comfortable with a complete stranger just ending up sleeping in our house is all.

Val: Oh, honey... Val: You're worried about the kids. Scott: Of course I'm worried about the kids. He's sleeping right next to them.

How can I not be? What if he's faking,  Val? VAL: We could stay here to make sure nothing happens if you're that worried. SCOTT: All night? VAL: Of course all night! Come on, don't you wanna spend time with me more? You ARE done updating your site for the anniversary. How about we just sit here in the living room and watch some TV while we keep an eye on the kids? SCOTT: I mean.. SCOTT:Sure, I guess..

Yeah, I guess we could do that I- I just got to go make sure one more time nothing's wrong. I'll be right back. VAL:Okay, I'll jus stay right here, but don't take too long You worry too much. MARK: I know what's going on here this game- ...Eaeeee...

VAL: What was that !? This game is literally about Scott Cawthon, the developer of Five Nights at Freddy's. Interestingly interesting huh, I don't know. Uh. Free-roaming in-incoming apparently..

MAN: Uhm- hello, is someone there? If anyone can hear me please respond immediately. VAL: Who is it what in gods name is going on here? MICHAEL: Oh um, uhm.. It's me, Michael. Uh.

Look- there's no time to explain just know that you are in grave danger. Is Scott there with you? VAL: My husband? (Mark: Scott)
VAL: No he isn't h-he just went to... What do you mean I'm in danger?! Uh. Ma'am, I am very..

Very sorry. This is all my fault- you need to stay calm. I'll try to help you through this, just please listen to me very carefully. VAL: W-What..? MICHAEL: Listen, there are monsters that are going to arrive your room real soon.

If they see you, you are dead. Do you understand that ma'am? It is VERY important that whatever occurs, just don't let them see you. Alright? VAL: I- I.. MICHAEL: I know, I know, look...

Just... ... You're in the living room, right? Try to focus on the three entrances behind you. The exit to the house should be locked and they won't come though there.

If there are any monitors nearby, then they should be forced to produce a camera system for you. Ma'am, is the TV in your living room turned on? VAL: Uh. Yes, but it's filled with static. MICHAEL: Alright now, please keep an eye on it, it should help you.

Look, they usually come from either the left side, or the right side you have nothing to stop them. So, if you see one of them about that to the room just.. Hide. VAL: Hide?! Hide where? MICHAEL: Just-..

L-look just stay out of sight okay? Yes, if they try to come in just move somewhere. They won't be able to see you, okay? Well, I don't know which one will come from which side.. ..But if you look at the TV, you might be able to tell by yourself. Maybe if you can, try to see if you can look through the doors too.

Uh, the windows.. Keyholes.. Yes, keyholes! If any of your doors has a keyhole you can peek through keep checking it. They won't notice you on the other side, trust me.

Uh.. So yes, I can't stress this enough. If anything comes through those doors, Hide. Just hide away from view.

You might hear noises later on in the night- pay attention to those. Don't look at anything that appears in your room and.. ..Try to stay safe, please. VAL: D-Do I have to stay here all night..? What about my children? What about my husband? MICHAEL: Look, it's very hard to explain ma'am..

..And no, just wait until 6:00 a.M to be safe, but don't worry- time will pass much faster. Just keep an eye on the clock and wait for that time. They should all be gone in a few minutes, and then the hours will reset now please if you survive, I need you to grab your kids and get out of this house as soon as possible. I'm going to help Scott get out of here myself.

Don't worry. Just please get yourself and your son's out of harm's way. VAL: I-I don't understand.. What is even happening? How do you know how is this stuff? ..Wait.

Wait a second.. How do you know my husband's name? I was there when he found you Michael. He never said his name. How do you know? Michael? MARK: Okay, great.

Yeah. This is weird. All right. I don't know what it means by hide- there's nowhere hide here!   It's a big empty room! Where am I gonna go? Am I gonna slide into the bookshelf?! Am I gonna slip under the couch?! File myself away under 'Fubber-nucked?' That's what I am! Might as well be my name.

Okay. These don't have keyholes, so I can't exactly look through it.. Oh boy. I don't know where it wants me to hide what in the world doesn't mean by that looks bad oh Oh, these look bad! Oh boy.

Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy- Oh boy- Oh boy.

Oh boy. Oh boy oh- oh boned, oh boned! I am. Oh say, can you see how boned I am in my butt? Oh boy. Oh boy, I don't know what I'm supposed to do about this.

I've only got foxy and Freddy on the command screen here..() .. And I don't know what I'm supposed to do when they get here. Oh Is it just the two of them? Oh! They're coming up to a door oh, God oh Excuse you!! Why does it seem like the same goddamn door?! Pardon me! I don't know what to- AHH!
(Jump scare warning!) Oh, its both! Ow!! What the fuck?! How are you supposed to hide?  Hide in places..?! (Mark goes hysterical, sobs: "..And they won't see you.") (Mark laughs, unconvinced by strategy tip) You said that the front door was going to be locked! .. Oh, the front door was probably the one with the poster on it.

Oh, I'm dumb, okay, alright. That's the one! This one's gonna be a Biotich! This is gonna be a biooioiiooiitch. Okay, so this is the front door? I still can't honk that. Alright, so let me think about this logically.

Oh, no still paused huh? (Mark makes a brbrb noise.) Okay think about this Markimoo, where logically in this place, could you hide can I turn out the lighty-loos? No, I can't! I can't go through there. I can't look in there. I can't hide in any one of these shoeboxes. Can't hide in the filing cabinet! Yeah, I'm bonerowned, is what I am.

I'm just purely boned. I'm so strongly boned! I'm gonna try to hide on this side of the room. Maybe foxy can only see movement. (Door slams open.) (Jump scare warning!!) Uh oh.

Well that's-  
(Foxy Jump scare!) There were two of you. Alrighty then! Well, that was fun. I'm gonna be right here I'm gonna get a face full of Foxy. That's what I'm gonna.

Do I'm gonna get a face full of Foxy! Hey, buddy (Jump scare warning!! Foxy again.) Hey, I'm where the game hint- (Foxy screams!)   Ohh.. My god! Is that doing something? Is that actually.. Wait wait wait wait wait- is that actually doing something? How does that work?! So how does it work? Am I tapping into their cerebral Cortex? Did that actually work? Is that how that is?! Oh, that's how it actually is, isn't it.. Ohhh.

My God it is holy shit, okay? Oh, that's super weird, but I think I'm okay. I think I.. Ohh- Alrighty then alright, so if I'm pausing one- Somehow, the other one is slightly ahead. That's how you get them out of rhythm.

Then if Foxy's coming through one door.. I can hide from- woah. Oh? Okay, alright weird stopping, but alright Alright, then if Foxy's coming through this door, then I can hide here?? .. From Foxy, and then go over there??
Okay??? Ooh boy.

That's weird! Then go over to the other side. Oh!! Hi!! Freddy boi!! Freddy Boy!!! Freddy boy. How you doing, Freddy boy? Alrighty then! Uh oh.. Is that? Okay, I thought I heard something over there, but hey we did something! Okay...

We survived one hour! Who do we got and where... Okay? They're going to continually be off rhythm now? Because it looks like they're going to continually be off rhythm now. So, if they're in that rhythm, maybe they come in at random.. But I still don't know what's going on over here! Well, seems like something bad might happen over there, but so far so good..

Okay. That must be.. The baby? I heard a noise! Whoa! I hear a noise!! Ooh boy, okay!! Something back there? Hi! Hello! Who are you? Bonnie?! Is that you Bonnie?! How do I hide from BONNIE?! I don't know how I hide from Bonnie.. Okay, we got incoming though.

We got incoming but there's no hiding from that.. Oh boy Bonnie might be coming down, and Bonnie might bash open those doors and bash in my skull with his big body (It's Foxy! No Jumpscare from him.) Hi..
(Jumpscare warning!! Freddy's turn.) Oh that's bad! (Freddy scream.) Ow.. Should have, um.. Should have paid more attention to the cameras.

Hello, what was that? I don't like the sound of those noises!! Where's Freddy? Where's Fredboy- oh, there he is. Hi Fredboy. How you doing? Welcome to my abode. I've got a grave concern with Bonnie.

That's bad, what was that? Look, I'm a risk a look oh That's a bad look! Right, okay! Maybe over here is gonna be okay? I don't know. I don't know I'm probably boned (Knocking.) Excuse you?! What the hell is that?! Whoa!! Hi Bonnie. Hi- hi, how ya doing buddy? How ya doing buddy Bonnie? Okay then alright then. Who's wearing? Whose wears? Who's doing what? Foxy- okay Foxy's coming up on it.

I'm gonna pause Freddy! I don't know what the banging in the vents is. Probably Chica but uh, you know I don't have time to worry about that! As long as I can- okay! Go, go, go, go! Go, go!
Go, go, go, go, go!   Please don't eat my brains!   Hi..  Okay.. Dee Dee Dee, Yee Dee Dee, Deedly Dee Dee Deedly Dee
If Chica comes anywhere, I'ma be so...

Okay? I think I can do this! It seems, oddly manageable.. Okay, it's weird. It is weird. Don't get me wrong.

It's really weird, but it works! Surprisingly.. Turn that.. Whoa- what was that? Is that uh.. Is that Mr.

Uh... Bonnster? Okay, Bonnster's a ways away. Means I got time either this next cycle. Maybe that's- that's not a good sound!! Whoa!!!
(Jump scare warning!) Okay, am I dead?! I'm not dead.

I'm not dead. I'm not dead. I'm not dead!! That's right. You just scare me!! But that's okay!  Don't listen to the noises of the night~  Go, go, go! I don't know where Freddy is! Chica is a big bitch! Hi Freddy.

Welcome to the party. Oh boy. I guess I'm okay! (Distressed Mark sounds.) I don't like that! Okay, where's BonBon? Woo! Okay BonBon's right there, okay, BonBon's right there, okay BonBon come on in! Come on in BonBon! Here comes Bonnie. Anybody now? Hi.

Welcome. Okay, all right okay, okay, okay. Check out Foxy, Foxy, Foxy. Where's Foxy? Coming down the way, okay.

Okay, Foxy's right at the door.. Which is fine. I don't like that.. Okay, here we go! (Another distressed noise) Go, go, go! Good thing Chicha wasn't there! Hahaha.

Shitty Pibiti. Shitty pudidly. Okay, we're doing pretty good. Oh, hey.

How's it going? I was you saying how good we were doing you want to change that fact? Huh Big Boi? Oh, you want to come out of here and fuck up my day? That's right. You better get out of here. What are we going on here? Okay, no BonBon yet. Which is good, which is fine totally fine.

Where's Foxy? Foxy coming around the corner? Chica.. Hopefully not here. There's Freddy. They're a good bit separated.

Which is nice, but it seems like someone might be accelerating if I'm not mistaken.. That's.. That's bad! That's bad, okay, okay, ah.. Fuck you.

Give a little more pause will more pause okay? Go!! Now!!!! Hi, oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy Go, go, go, go! Gahh.. That was close.

That was too close, Freddy! Fredboy, that was waaay too close! I'm going to just, you know. Going to anticipate this. No? Okay. I'm gonna look- Ooh! That's- that's bad! But not that bad.

Not bad as bad as it could be!
Oh, god. They're right on top of each other.. AHHH I"M FUCKED. (Jump scare warning!!) I'M FUCKED I"M FUCKED I"M FUCKED- AHHHHH.

Fucklduckle. Oh my god. Oh my God those I almost ran right into that door then Foxy might have something We got here, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa waaaayyy Okay!! Alrighty then!! Okay, take a moment through this just got to control them a little bit longer. So freeze Foxy- actually Foxy's fine.

He can come on down that means they're opposite again.. Freddy, you stay frozen. Hey, don't look that way that'd be better. Whoa.

What the fuck was that what am I doing wait? Whoa? Whoa, whoa, whoa that- hey! The fuck is that?! What the fuck happened? What the fuck is happening? 'Scuse you!! Oh my god, I don't know what's happening, but I don't like it. It's 5:00 a.M., And I'm too close to this to be bullshitted all I've eyes on the walls. Oh boy He's almost at the door freeze foxy. Just a little bit longer, okay? Here we go I think those okay.

I think that actually might even oh don't get fucked by that oh God Oh, God, I'm fucked I. Think it'll be foxy first, but I'm not sure I use Bhakti first, okay I'm just gonna tuck in that corner. Go away. Go away going.

No no no no go go Fuck go, okay pink Then it's Gonna be shit shit, oh Fuck fuck fuck fuck Where's Freddie where's Freddie? Where's freddie, okay Freddie right there? Go Freddy. Go Freddy. Go Freddy go go? Man soon as Freddy goes. I'm diving in that corner in that side Go go go go Freddy.

Go Freddy. Go Freddy. Go Freddy. Go go go Freddy go Yes Increase the haunted woods increase paranormal sightings near the countryside Sparks interest to her hold investigation else nerve-wracking though So nerve-wracking those nerve wrecking oh I'm like dying so quickly right now.

Oh Okay, but I did it. I did it. I did it, okay It's really hard But the mechanics are good like it's interesting like these mechanics are interesting because I've never seen him before You know five bags of Freddy's game anyway or an Indie game? I guess yeah good shit, though. Good shit.

Good shit Good shit. So anyway, that is all for the living room. That was a challenge, but I got through it Okay, next up is oh the office. Oh great, (oh boy that's gonna be fun) so anyway, that is the Living room the office is up next so thank you everybody so much for watching let me know what you thought of this down in the comments Below And as always I will see you in the next video Buh bye!.

Dinosaurs and humans -- did they live together -- Creation Magazine LIVE! (2-09)



Dinosaurs are still a hot topic for
creations to explain. Have dinosaurs ever been found with mammals or people? Stay tuned for some surprising answers. Biblical creationists believe that dinosaurs lived with people. On Day 6 God
created dinosaurs or land animals and people so dinosaurs lived with people
and live with all the other animals.

So according to the bible, what what we
believe, what Biblical creationists believe is: dinosaurs lived alongside all
the other animals. Well, a question that has been thrown at
us is, how come we don't find other animal fossils buried with dinosaur
fossils? When I was in school I. Bought into the evolution of paradigm. Usually see a diagram like this, on you screen, where you know
basically they say that you only find these creatures buried in these layers
and then you know there's an upward progression and finally you get to the dinosaurs and then you get some mammals and finally get
people on the scene.

It's always that progression. I know that's not always the way it's found. There is a pattern to the fossil record, but a lot of times what we find in the
ground doesn't actually match that evolutionary story. So one day I took three hours at the office and I.

Went looking online, and I looked for evidence that
showed 'modern type' creatures buried with
dinosaurs. So let me just share some of the results. Here's what they've actually found. The first article I found was called, "Cretaceous duck ruffles feathers".

Well why did the finding of this duck ruffle these scientists feathers? Because it was founded in a rock layer
that they believe the 70 million years old. So now you've got ducks living with dinosaurs! Then I found this one, "Dinosaur era bird
surprisingly duck like". Now I. Thought it was a repeat of the first
article, but I kept reading at actually it
wasn't.

This this duck-like creature supposedly a 110 million
years old. So this is 40 million years older. They say that
the soft tissues were preserved including flight feathers and wedding
like a duck's, between the birds toes. It's supposedly 110 million
years old.

They called it a Gansus 'cause it always sounds cooler if you give it a Latin name I guess. And here's a picture of what an
artist drew. But it's got modern characteristics like
knobby knees, it was an underwater swimmer, preserved skin of the webbed feet. Again, this is supposedly 110 million years old they still found the wedding and all this stuff.

And I thought there was an interesting quote
at the end of the article. It said, "It may have looked like a duck and acted like a duck but Gansus was no duck." There's a saying that kind of goes the other direction that most people
might be familiar with.  If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's probably a duck. They don't think it's a duck because it's 110 million years old.

We don't believe in this timeline, of course, but we're just showing you what people have found. Then I found this one, it was a flying squirrel. I used to work with my folks up in Pickle Lake, in Ontario Canada, and my mom was always trying to
protect her pies and stuff like that from flying squirrels. Well this flying
squirrel is supposedly least 65.5 Million years old.

So now the squirrels have been living with dinosaurs. Then I found this one. It was a 120 million year old platypus. It's got the electro sensors down its bill.

It looks like any modern platypus. So now platypus have been living with dinosaurs
according to the fossil record. Then I found this one. "Easter surprise: World's oldest rabbit bones found".

Well, this guy is supposedly 53 million years old, but the the researcher who found him, Dr Wible said he wouldn't be surprised if you went out into the field
and found an 80 million year old rabbit. So according to evolutionists, they they have no problem believing that, he's open the idea to having rabbits 80 million years old and living at the same time as dinosaurs. Then I found this one, it's a beaver it's a 154 million year old beaver! So now the beavers and the dinosaurs
have been living together. Then this one 130 million year old, well they didn't know what was but it had eaten a dinosaur 'cause
the stomach contents contained the digested remains of a psittacosaurus.

Pretty sure that
it lived at the same time as the dinosaurs then. They called it a Repenomamus robustus. Again, it sounds cool if you give it a Latin name, but that Repenomamus robustus looks like a modern-day honey
badger. Basically what the fossil record is showing here, for those of you watching, has your 'age of dinosaurs' picture that you grew up with, with all the dinosaur books with the volcano
blasting off in the back, hasn't changed any in the last three minutes since we've been going
through this you don't usually picture you know t-rex
walking along you know, quack, quack, quack...

We've really skimmed through very quickly
what they've actually found. You said you found all these in like three hours of just a simple internet search. That's right. Lots of evidence that 'modern-type' creatures have existed
alongside dinosaurs, great evidence for what the bible said
that there was a global flood and that's when the creatures died out.

Who would have ever thought that scratches in rocks could disprove the biblical flood? Well, scratches in rock called striations are sometimes caused by a glacier moving over bedrock. Therefore when geologists
encounter striated rock they often claim that a glacier caused it. Striated rock occurs within the sedimentary rocks that were laid down by Noah's flood. Evolutionary geologists claim this is
evidence of multiple ancient ice ages.

So they claim that Noah's year-long flood could not have laid down these rocks.
However, we now know that underwater landslides
cause rock striations similar to those caused today by glaciers. Furthermore,
there are important differences between glacial deposits formed today and those of
the alleged ancient ice ages. So don't let scratches in rocks scratch away
your confidence in God's Word.

To find out more from Creation Ministries
International visit our website CREATION.Com So why don't we find human fossils with dinosaurs? Evolutionists say that, well, if you
find two animals in the fossil record buried together, then they lived together. And you're not going to find a dinosaur and a rabbit, for example,
fossilized together because those animals didn't live together, is what the
evolutionists have said. Well, we just looked at things, that well
maybe that doesn't work so well. Rabbits maybe did live back at the
time of dinosaurs.

But what about human fossils? When you really think about it, this
argument that if you don't find them together then they didn't live together first we want to handle that because, for example coelacanths. A coelacanth is a creature that 65 point something million years old, supposedly.
It was supposedly the creature the crawled out and became the land creatures and stuff like that. Well they found live ones now! Now here's the point, we don't find humans and coelacanths buried together. We haven't found that yet.

But supposedly, according to the
evolution timeline, we've coexisted. Well, humans are modern so that it didn't live with the coelacanths, didn't find them buried, but supposedly coelacanths and whales have lived together for millions and millions of years and
in the same environment. You wouldn't really expect a dinosaur and a person to be living close together. But coelacanths and whales...


And we haven't found them either. But when you think about people are being burned at the time of
the flood... We don't know how many people would have been on the planet... You can estimate.

You might say 10 million if you do a calculation starting with two people and basic population
growth. 1600 Years years after creation. If we play with some of these numbers, what would the human population be and the land mass, and so on
and then work in what volume of fossil bearing
strata do we have? We've done some of those calculations. If there were 10 million people at the time the flood and you preserve their bodies completely, every bone, of the body, for every one of the 10 million, then you'd find about one skeleton in every 70 cubic km of sedimentary rock on the planet.

So even if everybody had been completely
fossilized, and you're not going to expect that... Fossilization is a very specialized process. And the skeletons get torn apart and things like that. So the chances of finding a human fossil
anyway compared to the volume of other creatures and other species, we would've been completely outnumbered, by all the other creatures that God created at that time.

It would be hard to find them because, if you look at the fossil record about 95 percent of what we find is marine invertebrates. Then you've got about 2 percent
marine vertebrates. The rest is plants and land dwellers. You actually don't find a lot of land dwelling creatures in
the fossil record.

So we are outnumbered you don't find a lot of those
fossils anyway. Here's the other thing scientist tend not to find what
they're not looking for. Funny how that works. A leading paleontologist Donald Burge, and he makes a
startling admission in Carl Werner's book he interviewed this man
he said this, "We find mammals and almost all of our dinosaur dig sites.

These were not noticed years ago We have about 20,000 pounds of bentonite clay that has mammal fossil that we are trying to give away to some
researcher. It's not that they're not important, it's just that you only live once and I
specialize in something other than mammals. I specialize in reptiles and dinosaurs." To me this is a startling admission. He's saying, we find mammal...

You know when I was
growing up as a kid I was looking through my dinosaur books. I was thinking well you never find... That was a no-no. Mammals and dinosaurs living at the same
time? You're not going to find a rabbit, you're not going to find a duck with the dinosaur.

They lived at completely different times. He's just admitting that we find this all the time, but you know I've got all this clay, if you want to go sifting through it and find out what's in there... I'm not interested. I'm just interested in the dinosaurs.

I'm interested in what was living together at the same time is
right? Perhaps there are some human bones have been found with this. They're not even looking for them. If you
don't think it's happened, I mean we don't know for sure, but here's a case where this fellow Tim White he thinks he's found a hominid, a collarbone. Of course he's thinking about human
evolution, he's found this bone and it turns out it's the rib of a dolphin.

We work with scientists, very brilliant
people but they still have to make guesses. So, maybe we have found some human and dinosaur bones together maybe we haven't we don't know but number one, just to recap vastly outnumbered you wouldn't expect to find human bones like that and perhaps they have been found together but nobody's really noticed yet. Stay tuned we've got some more great stuff coming up. The reason that the Creation Answers Book is so popular is because the covers a huge range of
topics and answers more than 60 of the most-asked questions about Genesis and
the creation-evolution issue.

Questions like: What is the evidence for God's existence? Could the days in Genesis 1 be long periods
of time? How did all the animals fit on Noah's Ark? Does radioisotope dating prove that the
Earth is very old? Where do dinosaurs fits into the Bible? And many more. To order your copy visit CREATION.Com Okay, we've talked about dinosaurs and other animals fossilized together. We've talked about dinosaurs and humans together. If dinosaurs really lived recently
right alongside people, which is what the bible plainly says what other evidences might we expect
to find if humans and dinosaurs lived together fairly recently? If people
and dinosaurs have interacted then there should be
evidence of it.

Now what's interesting is you will often see people equate dinosaurs with dragons. You've heard creationists say
that before. There's dragon legends all of the world from virtually all people
groups. They describe seeing these huge reptilian beasts and this has been, kind of, mythologized.

But even in the World Book Encyclopedia in 1973 we hear this quote "The dragons of legend are strangely like
actual creatures that have lived in the past. They are much like the great reptiles dinosaurs which inhabited the earth long before
man is supposed to have appeared on Earth." So they're even noting this. They're saying, wait a second if people have these descriptions of creatures that sound like dinosaurs called them dragons because 'dinosaurs' is a modern word, that's kind of strange because dinosaurs
in people aren't supposed to have lived together. Scientist and atheist Louis Jacobs author and former president of
the society of vertebrate paleontology made this really startling claim, he said that you don't want to associate dinosaur with dragons.

"Such an association would dispel any
earth with vast antiquity the entire history of creation including
the day of rest could be accommodated in the seven biblical days of the Genesis
myth. Evolution would be vanquished." That is huge! He said don't equate dinosaurs and dragons
because that's going to blow evolution of the water. So if dinosaurs lived
recently that blows the evolutionary time scale out which of course destroys
evolution itself. Then you can't be an atheist because you have to believe in evolution to be an atheist.

So what is some of the evidence here?
Saint George in the dragon, that was written is real history. Famous dragon legend. It's been mythologized. The flag of Wales
actually has a dragon on it.

Some of the biblical commentaries from several hundred years ago actually
referenced people seeing dragons. Very old books. The zodiac the Chinese zodiac has all these animals that we readily
recognize. Real animals plus a dragon.

Why one with
mythological animal? Marco Polo, the well-known historian and he
describes seeing these huge reptilian beasts, these dragons. Some of the artifacts we've found. One of what the oldest artifacts ever found was this Mesopotamian cylinder seal.
And if you look at the creatures there four-legs, big long-neck, big long tail, looks like one of the sauropod dinosaurs. The head looks a little different but
you don't know what that is.

Could be soft tissue. That's interesting how they have their necks wrapped around each other that way. Keep that in mind. There are some other interesting artifacts that have been found Of course Dracorex, you did an article on that in that the Creation magazine.

Yeah, little article. What does it look like? I mean even the people funded it here, there's a little
sign down there that says that it's a dinosaur that looks like a dragon. Well that's what we've been saying all along. To make the connection between dinosaurs dragons even stronger, here's a thing
that looks like a dragon.

Carl Sagan, once called the smartest man
in America. He's and atheist, he wrote the book Dragons of Eden trying to explain why people groups all
over the world have these memories of seeing these dinosaurs that they called dragons. He's
not a Christian, what did he say? Well, basically he came up with this thought that basically in our past, when we were just
some greebly little mammal or something, we saw these dinosaurs and it was so frightening that it
imprinted in our memories, somehow in our DNA. And that memory got passed along till finally we evolved into humans and
here we are we remember seeing these things but course we didn't live with
this...

That's preposterous. And that's what he
said in his book. That's what he said his book, he makes a connection between dragons he says that many cultures have these legends and all that kind of stuff. So just astounding 'evidence'.

In Cambodia 800 ago they carved this stone column. You look in the center of the column what's it look like? I do dinosaur talks with kids, four legs You can see the creature's tail with the plates on its back, you get 7 year-old kids, that's a Stegosaurus! They didn't have dinosaur books and Land Before Time
and Jurassic Park 800 years ago in Cambodia. So maybe they had real live dinosaurs.
It would make sense that that's probably what they saw. Here's Bishop Bell, his tomb in Carlisle cathedral.

You see the creatures there? They look
like dinosaurs, and look, they've got their necks wrapped around each
other to just like the Mesopotamian cylinder seal. Separated hundreds of
years chronologically and hundreds of
miles distance geographically yet people record the same activity. Have you ever wondered how Noah would have fitted dinosaurs on the Ark? For
example, how would a large sauropod like brachiosaurus even get in the
door? This question is often used to challenge the validity of the bible. But new research has provided a stunning
answer.

By studying the growth rings in dinosaur bones scientists have
discovered that dinosaurs underwent a tremendous adolescent growth spurt. Take
for example the huge Apatosaurus. Scientists hypothesize that their growth
spurt started at about five years of age when they weighed about one ton. During the spurt however, they put on
about five tones per year until they reached about twenty five tons.

The bible
tells us that God brought the animals to Noah for the Ark voyage. Therefore,
it's reasonable to assume that God would have chosen young dinosaurs that
happened yet undergone their growth spurt. So, yes there was plenty of room for
brachiosaurus. To find out more from Creation Ministries
International visit our website CREATION.Com Okay, another one of the challenges that
evolutionists have thrown at Biblical creationist in the history of
dinosaurs is dinosaur track ways.

You find in
the fossil record fossilized dinosaur footprints and even egg nests and
so on where dinosaurs have laid eggs and then that's buried and there's
another level that has the same thing and that's
buried there's another level. And they said in the year-long flood that you
biblical creations are talking about you can't explain multiple nesting horizons. So, how do we answer that? Well the idea is that sentiment was laid down very slowly
over millions of years. So if you've got this here then you've got another layer up here, let's say eggs that was separated by millions of years, in
the evolutionary story.

But if those sediment layers got laid down quickly you're not talking millions of years. All it did was it got laid down in separate events, not necessarily millions
of years. So again it's your paradigm, the way
you're looking at this, is that a bunch of time? Could those sentiments have been laid
down quickly? Many people have a simplistic understanding of what biblical creationists believe the flood
actually did. It wasn't just a event where something popped open and water
just came up and went down and that's it.

You weren't there. It's a one time, one off event, but when you look at things like the tsunamis when you look at some of the footage from Japan when the tsunami hit the... There's lots of stuff online. Just go on YouTube and you can watch this.

Basically we're suggesting that
maybe a very simplistic view of the flood is not what we should be looking at here
to explain multiple dinosaur nesting horizons. That the water may have
come up in jerks and spurts and so on. That's right, or even in massive waves like you look at the tsunami. You know you get this huge bunch
of water and sediment that comes up and then it goes back out again
and then it comes back in that's one of the signs of a tsunami when you see it
go out.

And you go, oh that doesn't look too good. Mud slides of multiple situation you've
got 40 days and 40 nights of rain recorded in bible as well. Some people think that's all the flood
waters was though. No, this is a year-long event.

The 'fountains of the great deep' burst open. A lot of things there. Let's look at scenario here. Let's say you've got some dinosaurs running along and of course you get a big wave - bang - it gets hit.

It's also going to get covered with
sentiment. It dies. We've got the one track way there that
they were all on, but all the sudden there's new sentiments rapidly deposited. The fact that you can actually find
dinosaur tracks means that that was that sentiment solidified very quickly.

You've got another a deposit, maybe that water retreats for a while, that animal still there. Fast moving water if it
went out and then it comes back in it might start re-gouging out the areas,
things like that, because one of the arguments is how can you find a dinosaur scavenged and then sediment on top of that and
then another layer and then you've got like dinosaur eggs for example? Well, when the carcass gets
exposed he gets scavenged, etc. You
can see it's just not as simplistic if there are all these multiple
catastrophes going on in this one catastrophe. You can kind of see that.

So we can imagine scenarios, and it's not too difficult to do that,  and fairly realistic scenarios, that would account for multiple dinosaur
nesting horizons. These multiple eggs, for example, at different levels, one of the interesting things about them is pathological eggs. Some creatures, when they feel unsafe they don't lay their eggs. They'll retain them and they'll start
getting multiple layers around them so they'll have multiple layers shells.

Or, if they eject them too quickly because
they feel unsafe they're very thin eggs. And what they found with a lot of the
dinosaur eggs that they have found is that many of them are pathological. A much higher percentage a pathological eggs and you would
normally expect to find from a regular creature. So we would say that
that's an indication that the dinosaurs were under some type of stress when those eggs were laid.

Running back and forth and all of a sudden maybe drop their eggs and run away. Interesting. Also you don't find vegetation with the dinosaurs often. You find their bonds but there's no
vegetation in the layer.

What we're they eating? What you're finding is buried eggs,
buried tracks, buried dinosaurs and other creatures. But you're not finding buried ecosystems. Okay. So that's the suggestion that maybe that layer has not been exposed for a long period of time.

Before another later got in. Some of these dinosaurs freeways they call them. They are track ways. One of the extends from northeast New Mexico to north-central Colorado! It's huge, again suggesting this isn't
just some river or lakeside or whatever like that but this was evidence of the global flood.

The vigorous promotion of evolution as established fact is causing many Christians to question the Biblical creation account. And some non-Christians won't consider
Christianity because they believe the Bible has been disproved by science. That's where Creation magazine comes in. Creation magazine is a family-friendly
publication.

Packed with cutting-edge science that supports the Bible. Presented in an easy-to-understand format by some of the leading experts in their fields of study. Visit CREATION.Com to subscribe today. For our feedback section what we're looking
at is an e-mail.

Often in these sections were looking at feedback that
comes through the website. People look at the articles or they have a question
that isn't answered in the more than 8000 articles
on CREATION.Com. So here's someone who wrote in about vestigial organs. These are apparently useless evolutionary leftovers from
our evolutionary past, organs that we still have in our bodies.

Now creationists have refuted this many many times, there's a lot of
details on CREATION.Com This person writes, "Greetings, I was
wondering if you could write an article that refuted this article here." And he references an updated, basically what it is is an
updated version of the vestigial organs argument. Modern vestigial organs arguments.  Yes, that apparently haven't
been refuted yet. So off we go.

Let's have a look at how our staff responded to this. So extrinsic ear muscles. The
evolutionist said, well look, some people's ears, you can wiggle them. One of my brothers can do that actually wiggle his ears which is pretty amusing.

I can do it but I won't do it now. So some people can do it, some
people can't.  They're saying maybe that's maybe we used to fold our ears over when we were you know more animalistic or whatever like that. Because some of the larger muscles,
we can see obvious uses for them.

So what could these be for? Muscles, when you don't use the muscles a lot they atrophy. Like an astronaut in outer space or whatever like that. So the fact that some people have it and some
people don't, maybe if we all practice wiggling our ears Maybe we could all do it. Exercise those muscles.

But it's in principle impossible proved that, you know a muscles or an organ doesn't have a function. Because you might find a function for it later on. One of our own scientists suggested that perhaps the movement of the ear muscles can help remove wax from your ears. Because your ears are constantly expelling that.

So when you're smiling
or chewing or whatever, or that your muscles move perhaps it's moving moving it out. Okay, so there
may be a use for that. Wisdom teeth is another one that's commonly
thought of. Well we're losing our wisdom teeth, or we don't need them
anymore, it's useless tooth left over from evolution and so on.

But wisdom teeth seem to only be a
problem in countries, most countries nowadays, where the food is soft. In other countries where in some countries where you need to chew more for your food, wisdom
teeth are not a problem. There not a leftover they don't cause problems.
So this indicates it's more of a dietary thing than and evolutionary leftover. The third eyelid.

This evolutionist is actually suggesting that
this is a leftover evolutionary something... But it has a critical function. It actually secretes a sticky substance. You know when you get that crust in your eyes in the morning? Well this organ actually is secreting this stuff.

So anything that gets in your eye it wraps it with a protective coating
that comes down and then gets expelled from the eye. It's a very functional piece of equipment. Still very valuable. It's not vestigial at all or useless In many of these cases there's a lot more details on CREATION.Com We know that we're rushing
through his things here.

We're just trying to give an overview of some of
these things. For example, why do males have nipples? This person asked the question we're just answering the question. That's part of design economy. A good designer, if he designs two similar things is going to try to keep good engineering
from one to the other and there's a question as to whether or
not they're useless anyways there's nerves that go there blood vessels
and so on.

They seem to be a regular part of a man's chest. And they seem that that here's a
possible function there involved in sexual stimulation. And no evolutionist is suggesting that
in the past males suckled their young or anything like that.
It's kind of silly. Arrector pili these are muscles, when your hair stands on end you know when you're cold or you're scared and they say why do we have these animalistic, you
know, our hair stands on end and stuff like that? Well actually when you raise your hairs it actually, there is airflow it flows differently.

It actually makes you
warmer. It traps some air. Makes you warmer. So there's actually...

And even muscle contraction itself helps you retain body heat. We could go through a whole bunch of these and you could go to the article online. Just look up 'vestigial organs' See, the thing that the evolutionists aren't understanding is creationist allow for deterioration of a perfect
creation. Absolutely.

This argument actually falls apart
because even if you had and organ in the
past that was good and now it's worse or it's degenerate that's not
evidence for evolution, that's evidence for devolution.  It's going the wrong way..

Days of Creation for ChildrenPicTrain



Look kids, here comes a new PicTrain! Pictrain's coming down that track, taking pictures here and back. Learning's
fun and its our knack, PicTrain's coming clickety clack. This train is all about creation. Do
you know a creaton is? God made everything in six days and
rested on the 7th.

The first day, God made light, darkness, time, and the earth. The second day God made sky and water. Did you know that? I wonder what happens next. The third day God made dry land and plants.

The fourth day, God made the Sun, the moon, and all the stars. It seems like a lot of work but not for
God. On the fifth day, God made all the sea creatures and flying
creatures. The sixth day, God made all the land animals and man
like me and you.

Did you know that?  He did because he
loves us. The seventh day. On this day God rested. He called his entire creation good.

Did
you know this is from the Bible. Check it out in Genesis chapter 1 and 2. See you next time. For more picture in learning fun

Creationists damage Christianity (Creation Magazine LIVE! 7-10)



So, we recently received an email stating that we're
damaging Christianity by ignoring science. OK. Now, we're going to examine that claim that
biblical creationists are damaging Christianity this week on Creation Magazine LIVE! Welcome to Creation Magazine LIVE! My name is Richard Fangrad. And I'm Matt Bondy.

This week we're going to spend the whole
show examining the claim that young earth creationists, or Biblical creationists, are
damaging Christianity because we ignore science. Yeah, ok, well that's quite a claim! But it's really 2 claims isn't it? Yes, that's right. Robert B from the US, he wrote in claiming
that creationists are harming Christianity, that's number 1, and secondly, that we're
ignoring science. Right, OK, well let's read what he wrote, it's not very
long, and then we'll respond to his claims.

He wrote, "You are damaging Christianity deeply. You think science is wrong just where you
need it to bewhich should light up the warnings in your brain. The concepts that you list as evidence are
areas you don't understand. Science primarily does not have opinions.

It has data; data that does not give a living ---- [and there
was a swearword there that we deleted out] a living [-----] what anyone thinks. Soft tissue in dinosaur bones does not prove
a young anything  and the scientists working on that material understand that where you don't You would all be well advised to go actually
get into a real science program (tho I doubt you could) and learn the material. ===> I did." OK. So he continues, "Considerthe percentage
of scientists who believe the Earth is young is smaller than the percentage of people who
would be clinically insane in the same population.

ALERT!! "I.E., In order to claim that there is a
debate at all, you will have to have more people on 'your side' of the debate than
the percentage of clinically insane. You don't. You have Kurt Wise disease. You are harming Christianity." OK! Alright, there're some pretty bold claims
there, and the reason we want to examine this on the show today is that there are Christians,
especially those who have gone through higher education, including most seminaries, who
would make similar claims.

Right. The claim is that, in order to take the Bible,
and especially Genesis, at face value (the way that we do as a ministry),
you need to reject science. And by rejecting modern science, biblical
creationists are harming Christianity because we appear to be anti-scientific. Anti-scientific, yeah.

Just want to point out (you probably picked
this up as well) the tone of this email. You likely noticed that includes kind of
an insulting, accusing tone. Now, not all people would have stated things
in the way that Robert did in his email to us. But we often see that same kind of tone
from people in the church who are convinced that the world is old.

And for those of you who do understand that
Genesis records a recent creation in 6 days, you might have had these kind of accusations
leveled at you as well. The idea is that we're anti-intellectual,
and it's only the low IQ, never finished high-school, country bumpkin that would ever
conclude that God created recently, in 6 days and there was a global flood. Right. And just to give another example of that,
we can play a portion of a radio show where William Lane Craig, who, by the way, has won
many debates arguing against atheists, but here he's commenting on a recent creation.

Listen to this. "Yes, I've seen a comparable statistic
that says that over 50% of evangelical pastors think that the world is less than 10,000 years old. Now when you think about that, Kevin, that
is just hugely embarrassing. That over half of our ministers really believe that
the universe is only around 10,000 years old.

This is just scientifically, it's nonsense,
and yet this is the view that the majority of our pastors hold. It's really quite shocking when you think
about it." OK, so again, the accusation is that it's
"nonsense", he says, to believe that the world is less than 10,000 years old, and that's
it's "embarrassing" and "shocking". And again, he's using those kinds of emotional
words and, really, the idea, the kind of flavour that comes across, is that pastors who believe
that, well  they're just out of touch with reality. It's just a completely ridiculous thing to think.

Yes, and he's disappointed that 50%
of pastors believe that. Well, I'm, kind of disappointed that it's
only 50 percent! Since the world really is less than 10,000
years old, based on simple deduction from the Word of God, what's really "shocking"
and "embarrassing" is that 50% of pastors think it's older! Right! Pastors are supposed to give instruction from
God's Word, and instruct that way. Now, we've made a lot of statements
here, in the last couple of minutes, that need further explanation, and we're going
to do exactly that after a short break. Did you know that the DNA code is itself governed
by another code known as the epigenetic code? This physical and chemical code determines
which genes are switched on.

Changes in this code can greatly alter an
organism without altering one letter of its DNA. For instance, scientists have managed to change
the coat colour in mice by feeding them a diet that switches off certain genes. Epigenetics poses new problems for evolution. For instance, a group of animals with a camouflaged
coat colour might be favoured in a particular environment, but if this coat colour is due
to epigenetics and not the actual DNA code, then the non-camouflaged animals would be
selected against in vain.

When the epigenetic modification is reset
by a diet change, natural selection is sent back to square one. The field of epigenetics, therefore, creates
problems for evolution and strongly points to a master programmer who invented the DNA
and epigenetic codes. To find out more from Creation Ministries
International, visit our website CREATION.Com. So, if you've just tuned in, this week we
are looking into accusations made against CMI, and really anyone who takes
God's Word at face value, understanding that God created recently.

Yes, and that's a big part of the response: what does
the Bible say about the age of the earth. Many people think that it doesn't say anything
about the age of the earth. And we'll deal with that in a few minutes. Let's begin by going back through that
email point by point.

OK.  So right at the start, well, after accusing
us of "damaging Christianity deeply" he says, "You think science is wrong" And
here goes the broken record again. We've said this so many times on the show,
in Creation magazine, on creation.Com, in books, in videos it's not about the science! It's not about the science. We don't think 'science' is wrong, as
we're accused of thinking, in the sense of real, operational science like chemistry
and physics.

We think that the materialistic philosophy
of history masquerading as science is wrong. Wouldn't it be great if everybody commenting
on the origins debate anywhere, regardless of their position on the issues, from the
Biblical creationist to the atheistic evolutionist and everything in between, could get this
one simple concept: that the debate is not about science. The debate doesn't happen at the level of science. It happens at the level of history.

That's where it happens. OK, so just to explain it one more time, the
things that relate to origins (or where things came from) are not just about science. If we were to ask you, what is the scientific method? What does science involve? Most of you could get at least the basics. You might say things like, well, science involves
making observations, or doing experiments or things that are repeatable,
that's the science.

And that is what science is. That is what science is. Now if we ask, what's history all about? Well, I mean, most people are going to get
that too, right? It's about past events. And some of you might feel your blood pressure
rising at this point recalling a past history test where you had to remember all those dates
of critical events and so on.

History is about that. The origins debate involves a mixture of
science and history. It's not just science. Right.

It's a lot like forensics. Forensics involves a mixture of science and history. For example, at a crime scene, investigators
might dust for fingerprints, and collect hair or blood for DNA analysis. That's the science.

That's the science, that's right. But then a story is made up about how all
the data from science, and all the facts can be explained by a particular history. And some stories, or histories will fit
the facts better than others. You know, it's like: the butler did it,
or, the maid did it, right? And that's where it goes to the courtroom
scene near the end of the show.

Different histories can be imagined to explain
exactly the same data. The debate isn't over the data. It's over the history applied to the data. Yeah.

And that's really similar to the creation/evolution
and age-of-the-earth debate. In palaeontology, for example, when scientists
find fossils they don't come with tags on them that say things like, "Hi, I'm 75
million years old, and I like to eat hamburgers, and I enjoy taking naps on Sunday
afternoon after church." None of that information comes from the fossil. No. On the fossil itself, and its surroundings there in
the rock, is the where the science is done.

It could all be documented very carefully,
I suppose it could be tested chemically. Nobody disagrees with that because it's
an observation. You disagree, you go and do the experiment yourself. There it is.

That's the science.
There's no debate over that. You know, it's like, "Look there's a fossil.
It's in the ground." Nobody debates that. Right, exactly. But what makes the fossil much more interesting
is: when did it die? How long was it alive? What did it eat? What was its social interaction with the other animals? How did this animal get encased in the rock? Those are the kinds of things that we really
want to know about.

But the problem is, those things are not observations. At this point it's like moving to the courtroom
scene, just like you talked about. A story is made up to explain the ideas and,
just like in forensics, some stories (or histories) will fit better than others. That's right.

That's the debate. So, right at the beginning of this email it's
clear that this person doesn't understand this basic concept of the origins debate. The debate is about different histories, not
the science. And the same is true of William Lane Craig's comments.

As brilliant as a debater as he is (and he is), he's missed
this foundational aspect of the origins debate. He's commenting specifically on the related
issue of the age of the earth. Which is very much a debate of different histories. Historical debate.

And we'll continue responding to the email
when we get back. Genesis Verse by Verse is a Bible study tool
available on CMI's website designed to help Pastors, students and laymen alike study the
book of Genesis like never before. And it is completely free! Simply look up any verse in Genesis 1-11 or
just scroll down the page. The centre column provides links to articles
that answer common questions pertaining to that verse and the topics that naturally arise from them.

Visit Creation.Com to use it today! On this week's episode our focus is on the
often not so kind accusations that creationists are damaging Christianity. That we're making Christianity look like
it's for unscientific, uneducated people. But, that's not the case. No, no.

So, continuing with the email, Robert says,
"Science primarily does not have opinions. It has data -- data that does not give a living
[----] what anyone thinks." And the response from Dr Johnathan Sarfati,
who responded to this email online, he says, "We agree that there is an objective reality
that is independent of what anyone thinks. Postmodernism denies this. That is why science developed in a biblical
creationist Christian worldview during the Middle Ages, but was stillborn in other worldviews." Right.

In the article, that you can look up online,
by the way, at creation.Com/damaging, Dr Sarfati has included weblinks to other articles detailing
what he just said about science arising within a biblical worldview, and not other worldviews. Fascinating stuff. Yeah, we actually did a show on this last year called,
"The biblical basis for modern science." Now, that show is based on conclusions from secular
historians of science, who show that it was the biblical worldview that gave rise to science,
much to the surprise of most people today. Right  and some of those historians! And just as a side note, it was that episode
that was submitted to the International Christian Film Festival and got us nominated for "Best TV show",
Creation Magazine LIVE!  This year, in 2018.

As we record this here today, we're not
sure if we won yet, that's going to be announced in a couple of weeks, but it's nice to have
the value of this show appreciated by other Christian filmmakers and those in Christian media. Right. You know, that is nice.
But you know, what we treasure even more than
that, is the affect that the show, and the information we present, has on you, the viewers. For some of you, you've told us that you
were an atheist before watching the show and the content helped you to recognize that the
Bible is God's Word, and it's totally true, and you were moved to make Jesus
Lord of your life! That's great  and those comments are
so encouraging! Just to know that God is using this little show,
Creation magazine LIVE, to draw people to Himself.

It makes it all worth it! Yeah, exactly. Anyways, let's get back to the email here. He makes this comment, "Soft tissue in dinosaur
bones does not prove a young anythingand the scientists working on that material understand
that, where you don't." OK  and Dr Sarfati's response was, "real science shows that there is soft tissue (and protein and DNA) in dino bones. Real science shows how fast these things break
downespecially DNA.

What real science does NOT show is the
millions-of-years dogma. But since the discoverers believed in this
dogma, they were extremely sceptical at first." Then he quotes Dr Mary Schweitzer, who is a pioneer
in this area and not a creationist, by the way. She believes that the bones in which she's finding
this material really are millions of years old. That's right, yeah.

And you can see her struggle to reconcile
her beliefs about the age of the bones with the incredible discoveries that she's making in the lab. Yes, exactly. Dr Schweitzer said, "When you think about
it, the laws of chemistry and biology and everything else that we know say that it should
be gone, it should be degraded completely." And note, that's real science! The rapid decay of organic material is an observation. Anyone who disagrees with that observation
can do the test themselves.

Do it yourself, yes. Throw a piece of meat out on the lawn and
you can watch it decay. She also said that when the soft tissue was first
discovered, and this is an interesting quote, "'It was totally shocking,' Schweitzer says. 'I didn't believe it until we'd done it 17 times.'" So, her beliefs about the bone's age (being
millions of years old) caused her to doubt what she was seeing in the lab.

So, she made absolutely sure that there really
was soft tissue, and what appear to be blood vessels and blood cells, there in a T-rex bone. Dr Sarfati also mentioned that, "We are
well aware that she has tried to explain the results away, but most unconvincing from the viewpoint of known chemistry  see: 'Dinosaur soft tissue: In seeming desperation, evolutionists turn to iron to preserve the idea of millions of years'." That's a link to an article that outlines
a sort of grasping at straws proposal to hold on to the belief that the bones
are millions of years old. Right. Iron in blood cells can act as a preservative.

It wouldn't be as good as formaldehyde but
for the true believer in millions of years, that's the answer: iron saves that day! We can keep believing that the bones are millions
of years old, even though they contain unfossilised soft tissue, because iron has preserved them. Right. But for how long can iron preserve soft tissue? That's the question. If iron isn't as good a preservative as
formaldehyde, could formaldehyde really preserve organic compounds for 70 million years? No.

Right. I mean, you could put that bone in formaldehyde,
bury it deep in the earth, shield it from any outside energy or chemicals, and it's still going to
break down over that unimaginable length of time. Formaldehyde doesn't stop decay altogether,
it just slows it down. Now, these bones were found in Montana and
they weren't protected the way I just described.

No, no they weren't. About the only thing that will stop decay
is freezing at absolute zero, about minus 273 degrees Celsius. Right, and it doesn't get that cold in Montana. No, it doesn't.

Let's take a short break and then we'll continue. Dinosaur tracks have been found all over the
world, but curiously, these track ways are almost always straight. Usually, when animals are relaxed, they meander
around in all directions. But if they're frightened, they tend to
move fast in one direction.

So why do dinosaur tracks suggest they were
panicking when they made the footprints? The global flood recorded in the Bible provides
a compelling answer. As the waters rose during Noah's Flood,
various mechanismssuch as tidal movements of the watercaused flood-laid sediments
to be briefly exposed. This allowed dinosaurs that had previously
been caught up in the currents, to make tracks on the freshly-laid sediments, before the
sediments were inundated again. Thus dinosaurs were experiencing global panic
when they made their footprints, and that explains why their track ways are so often straight.

The preservation of tracks also requires their
rapid burialas would happen in the Flood. To find out more from Creation Ministries
International, visit our website CREATION.Com. So, this week were responding to the claim
that creationists damage Christianity by rejecting modern science. We're following an email sent to the ministry.

One of our scientists, Dr Jonathan Sarfati
responded to it showing that, no, we do not reject modern science. What we do reject, is the historical framework
that the scientific data is put into. Right, yes. Now, we really hope that this week's show
is an encouragement to those of you who might have been ridiculed in the past for taking a stand for
the Bible in this area of the age of the earth.

Actually, there's a great article on our
website titled, "101 evidences for a young age of the earth and the universe"  it's at
creation.Com/age. And that's an article you could share, you
could share that link with people who think it's unscientific to believe in a recent creation. Ok, just before the break we were taking about
soft tissue in dinosaur bones. Now, if this is the first time you've heard
about Dr Schweitzer's amazing discoveries, you can get up to speed on that by reading
the article at creation.Com/dino-dna Also, note that below the article there is
a long list of "Related Articles".

That's a gold mine for more details about
scientific evidence supporting dinosaurs living up until quite recently. That's right. OK, so let's continue with the email. Robert writes, "You would all be well advised
to go actually get into a real science program (tho I doubt you could) and learn the material." Ok.

Wow! And Dr Sarfati's response is, "Oh really? CMI probably hires more staff with earned
doctorates in science, from secular universities at that,
than any other Christian ministry. In most people's eyes, that would count
as a 'real science program'." Yes. And that point alone just highlights the fact
that if you believe that God created recently, you're not being anti-scientific or 'rejecting
modern science' as is claimed. Many of our scientists at Creation Ministries
International, by the way, were former evolutionists and believed in millions of years.

That's right. You know, it was by reading Scripture and
studying the evidence for a recent creation that they came to change their minds, against
all of their training and education. A recent creation isn't the default position
of the uneducated. These scientists carefully examined both sides,
comparing all the arguments.

For those of you who aren't scientists but
believe in a recent creation, you're in good company. So, the next statement in the email is, well,
strange to say the least. He writes, "Considerthe percentage of
scientists who believe the Earth is young is smaller than the percentage of people who
would be clinically insane in the same population. ALERT!! I.E., In order to claim that there is a debate
at all, you will have to have more people on 'your side' of the debate than the
percentage of clinically insane.

You don't." And Dr Sarfati responds, "Another example
of the illogic of anti-creationism: before it was 'data  does not give a
living [-----] what anyone thinks', but now you want us to care about what others think!  Apparently truth is now decided by majority vote,
despite all the times when the majority was wrong. For example, we should still believe in the phlogiston
theory of combustion and absolute geocentrism." He includes a link in this section to a fascinating
article, it's at creation.Com/scientists-wrong. It deals with a good question that relates
to the subject we're talking about today: Can all those scientists be wrong? And, the short answer is: Science, or truth, for that
matter, isn't determined by majority vote. The article lists a number of infamous examples
where the majority of scientists and thinkers in the past were wrong.

In fact, it's probably fair to say that
every scientific breakthrough begins with a minority position  that's why it's
called a breakthrough! That's why it's a breakthrough, yes. And it's kinda arrogant to think that that
type of thing (with the majority of scientists being wrong) couldn't happen today. I mean, after all, Jesus didn't teach that majority opinion
is what you should base your life on. He actually taught that people should base
their life on truth, and by doing so their lives would be able to withstand life's difficulties.

Yes, that's in Matthew 7 where Jesus says,
"Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man
who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and
the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded
on the rock." Yeah, there's no mention of following majority
opinion there. Build your life on truth. No, there isn't.

And in that "Can all those scientists be wrong?" Article, there's a great quote from Michael Crichton Michael Crichton  the Jurassic park guy! Yes, he's an author but before that he had
a career in medicine and in science and he said: "Let's be clear: the work of science
has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one
investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are
verifiable by reference to the real world. In science, consensus is irrelevant.

What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great
precisely because they broke with the consensus. There is no such thing as consensus science." Cool. I wonder if that would apply to the
climate change debate? Ah yeah let's not go into that right now.

Alright. We're going to take a break and we'll
be back with some closing comments. Looking for a single resource that
totally destroys evolution? You need Evolution's Achilles Heels! Authored by 9 PhD scientists, the Evolution's
Achilles Heels project involved examining areas evolutionists feel are their scientific
strengths, such as: Natural Selection, Genetics and DNA, the Fossil Record, and Radiometric Dating. Discover how these areas, and others, are actually
massive scientific weaknesses for evolution.

Get Evolution's Achilles Heels, the
evolution Master Blaster! Order your copy at CREATION.Com. Welcome back. Ok, let's just look at one more statement
from the email that Robert writes. He says, "You have Kurt Wise disease." And Dr Sarfati responds, "Is this a new clinical diagnosis? Dr Wise has described an experiment where
he chopped out every verse of Scripture that is contradicted by evolution or billions of
years, and found that there was nothing left to hold his Bible by two fingers without it
falling apart.

That should be enough for any professing Christian, because Jesus said,
'Scripture cannot be broken' (John 10:35) Another excellent point to consider. Far from harming Christianity, when we take
God's Word straightforwardly, drawing the meaning from the text, using standard hermeneutics, we get a recent creation by God in 6 days,
and a global flood. And today, that biblical truth is supported
by mountains of scientific observations. Christianity is an evidence-based faith, not a blind faith.

Yes, that's exactly right. Well, we hope that you've been encouraged
by some of today's content, especially for those of you who have been looked down on
because you believe (just like we do) that the Bible teaches a recent creation, in six
days, followed by a global flood. Yes, those truths don't fly in the world
of academia, I mean, we get that, but they're true anyway. In a related way, there are other truths that
today's academia think are foolish too, and those truths are much more important to
get right than the age of the earth debate.

And that's called the 'foolishness of
the cross', right? Paul wrote to the church in Corinth saying,
"For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being
saved it is the power of God. For it is written, 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.' Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?  For the foolishness of God is wiser than
men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men." And that's a good reminder to stay true to God's Word, even if all the 'smart' people say it's wrong. If you need some encouragement in your faith
