WEBVTT 00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:06.559 You're listening to the Christ Our Cornerstone 00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:09.720 podcast ministry of Christ Our Cornerstone Church 00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:12.419 in O 'Neill, Nebraska. I'm Pastor Logan Merrick, 00:00:12.419 --> 00:00:14.599 and it's our prayer that this message strengthens 00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:17.579 your faith and draws you closer to Christ. Let's 00:00:17.579 --> 00:00:23.679 dive in. All right. Hello. Welcome to the Christ 00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:27.199 Our Cornerstone Church podcast. This is a mailbag 00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.620 edition. Where I don't preach a sermon but I 00:00:30.620 --> 00:00:34.179 do answer questions that come in and today is 00:00:34.179 --> 00:00:36.799 kind of a special one because we got a question 00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:44.219 and the question that came in was one of a little 00:00:44.219 --> 00:00:46.719 bit more difficult one in the sense of like I 00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:50.320 I know that I know my limits when it comes to 00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:55.739 theology and creation and I happen to have a 00:00:55.739 --> 00:00:59.020 a someone that that specializes in this area. 00:00:59.060 --> 00:01:03.560 And so. Today, we're going to be talking about 00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:08.540 dinosaurs and specifically dinosaurs, creation, 00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:12.140 Noah's flood, Noah's Ark and all that stuff. 00:01:12.140 --> 00:01:17.060 And so I figured the best thing I can do is bring 00:01:17.060 --> 00:01:24.700 on my son, Noah, who loves and has studied dinosaurs 00:01:24.700 --> 00:01:27.739 and the flood account and all of the things. 00:01:28.540 --> 00:01:34.480 Here's the deal. I. Only have one microphone 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:36.439 because we could not find the other microphone, 00:01:36.500 --> 00:01:38.099 so we're going to be swapping this microphone 00:01:38.099 --> 00:01:42.140 back and forth, so bear with us. So, Noah, good 00:01:42.140 --> 00:01:44.599 to see you. Thanks for coming into my office 00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:48.379 slash podcast studio, and we're going to get 00:01:48.379 --> 00:01:50.760 started with talking about dinosaurs. So, Noah, 00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:56.859 hello. Hello. And you have to probably come closer. 00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:01.879 I don't pull stuff off here. All right. So, Noah, 00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:06.939 the question came in and it said, Pastor Logan. 00:02:09.979 --> 00:02:12.560 That's why you could you do a podcast on dinosaurs? 00:02:13.099 --> 00:02:15.599 I said anything in particular, and they said, 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:20.159 I'm just curious of where they fit into the Bible. 00:02:20.629 --> 00:02:23.590 Did they die in the flood and were they on the 00:02:23.590 --> 00:02:28.310 ark? So Noah, we both agree dinosaurs are in 00:02:28.310 --> 00:02:33.629 the Bible. We see that with in Job. Right. If 00:02:33.629 --> 00:02:38.250 you want to. So in the Book of Job, when it talks 00:02:38.250 --> 00:02:42.969 about behemoth, it describes it as it eats grass 00:02:42.969 --> 00:02:47.629 like an ox. It has it's super big. And most people 00:02:47.629 --> 00:02:50.449 are like in. biblical translators are like, oh, 00:02:50.530 --> 00:02:53.389 it's an elephant or a hippo. But then I don't 00:02:53.389 --> 00:02:55.270 remember which verse it is. It might be like 00:02:55.270 --> 00:02:58.409 13. It says he makes his tail like a cedar tree. 00:02:59.169 --> 00:03:01.610 And in my Bible, it says it's probably just an 00:03:01.610 --> 00:03:05.210 exaggeration. Well, how are we exaggerating that? 00:03:05.349 --> 00:03:09.210 But there's only one animal that God created 00:03:09.210 --> 00:03:12.650 that is on land that ever had a tail like that. 00:03:13.700 --> 00:03:16.159 So when you say your Bible says it's probably 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:18.139 an exaggeration, you mean with the notes at the 00:03:18.139 --> 00:03:20.800 bottom, right? Not in the actual passage on the 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.240 bottom says that the cedar tree thing is probably 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:26.360 just an exaggeration, which to me, I'm like, 00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:30.539 why would we be exaggerating the tale of an elephant 00:03:30.539 --> 00:03:34.659 being like a cedar tree? But the dinosaur that 00:03:34.659 --> 00:03:38.539 fits that most would be like a brachiosaurus 00:03:38.539 --> 00:03:42.050 or any of like the long necked dinosaurs. If 00:03:42.050 --> 00:03:43.830 you've seen the movie Jurassic Park, it's just 00:03:43.830 --> 00:03:45.270 the first one that they see when they arrive 00:03:45.270 --> 00:03:49.509 on the island. Jurassic Park, another thing that 00:03:49.509 --> 00:03:53.430 you're very versed in and getting detailed about. 00:03:54.449 --> 00:03:56.430 You've read the book when you were in sixth grade, 00:03:56.650 --> 00:03:58.949 you've seen all of the movies, you collect all 00:03:58.949 --> 00:04:05.409 the things. So with behemoth. Behemoth could 00:04:05.409 --> 00:04:08.949 could behemoth also be what's what's the dinosaur? 00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:14.060 that has like the the like the the tail that's 00:04:14.060 --> 00:04:18.220 like has the the round rocks or whatever. Yeah, 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.439 the club at the end. So that would be Anglia 00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:24.839 source. I think it is possible that it could 00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:29.439 honestly be any of the big herbivores. But just 00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.439 because of like the size, how it emphasizes like 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:34.879 this thing is big, this thing is super strong, 00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:38.000 it's massive, it fits the long necks better. 00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:42.980 And specifically, I would say it's maybe a Titanosaurus, 00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:46.120 which was like the biggest long neck dinosaur 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:50.560 that we know of. And that to me is like, I'm 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:52.040 not saying like, oh, like, that's definitely 00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:54.839 what it is. But me and my nerd said, I'm like, 00:04:54.860 --> 00:04:57.160 well, this is the biggest one. I just like to 00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:02.600 think that this is the one that Job saw. So that's 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:06.189 behemoth. And then I have talked. in service 00:05:06.189 --> 00:05:08.870 before about why I think Jonah was swallowed 00:05:08.870 --> 00:05:14.689 up by Leviathan and they believe Leviathan was 00:05:14.689 --> 00:05:18.250 a dinosaur is a dinosaur, right? Well, not in 00:05:18.250 --> 00:05:21.810 what scientifically want to be a dinosaur because 00:05:21.810 --> 00:05:26.149 dinosaurs are any land reptile that its legs 00:05:26.149 --> 00:05:31.230 are under. That's why I like chameleons, turtles. 00:05:32.540 --> 00:05:34.879 you will snakes don't have legs. So that's why 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.800 they're canceled out. But their legs and limbs 00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:39.879 are on the sides of their bodies rather than 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:42.779 under. And it also has to do with like the type 00:05:42.779 --> 00:05:46.259 of hip bone that they have because there's hip 00:05:46.259 --> 00:05:50.480 bone, like there's bird hip bones, dinosaurs, 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:53.959 and then there's reptile, though a lot of the 00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:57.019 bird hip ones are probably just birds to begin 00:05:57.019 --> 00:06:03.639 with. So Leviathan. would probably be if it is 00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:09.199 something that is now extinct like a plesiosaurus 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:13.180 which is like it has basically the body of a 00:06:13.180 --> 00:06:18.439 seal but a long neck in a lizard head probably 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:20.920 seen or if you've seen you've seen the Jurassic 00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:24.199 World movie the big one in the aquatic exhibit 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.519 that eats the sharks mosasaurus is another one 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:29.980 and there's even other stuff that's just really 00:06:29.980 --> 00:06:34.709 massive that could very well be Leviathan. And 00:06:34.709 --> 00:06:39.410 because it describes it as spinning fire. If 00:06:39.410 --> 00:06:42.069 we take that literal that is like actually like 00:06:42.069 --> 00:06:45.709 that means that there were things in the water 00:06:45.709 --> 00:06:49.250 that could have breathes fire and even on the 00:06:49.250 --> 00:06:53.269 land that breathes fire. So real life dragons. 00:06:55.230 --> 00:07:01.350 That's pretty cool. Actually, in Isaiah, He mentions 00:07:01.350 --> 00:07:05.790 like flying dragons, which those would be like 00:07:05.790 --> 00:07:08.529 pterodactyl they'd be like pterosaurs so the 00:07:08.529 --> 00:07:10.310 Bible has like several areas where it touches 00:07:10.310 --> 00:07:14.750 on things that sound like When everybody just 00:07:14.750 --> 00:07:20.810 categorizes as dinosaurs So Do you think that 00:07:20.810 --> 00:07:24.569 when God created everything now we we let me 00:07:24.569 --> 00:07:26.970 go ahead and preface it like this for those that 00:07:26.970 --> 00:07:30.629 are listening We don't know. We weren't there 00:07:30.629 --> 00:07:34.949 at creation. But I know you read all the things 00:07:34.949 --> 00:07:37.910 in regards to dinosaurs, and you have a lot of 00:07:37.910 --> 00:07:41.029 feelings. You and I have many discussions on 00:07:41.029 --> 00:07:44.670 where we disagree on dinosaurs, the Bible. I 00:07:44.670 --> 00:07:47.410 do believe that the Bible does discuss dinosaurs, 00:07:47.430 --> 00:07:53.509 and we just differ on some other things. Do you 00:07:53.509 --> 00:07:57.569 think that dinosaurs were created in the creation 00:07:57.569 --> 00:08:02.129 account or are they created separately in the 00:08:02.129 --> 00:08:04.529 creation account? What do you think? So I think 00:08:04.529 --> 00:08:10.189 that they were made on day six just because of 00:08:10.189 --> 00:08:13.889 my these things were animals that existed. And 00:08:13.889 --> 00:08:16.629 day six, it says that God made every creeping, 00:08:16.629 --> 00:08:20.730 crawling beast of the field, all that stuff. 00:08:20.730 --> 00:08:28.079 So to me, I'm like, well, day six. And so, when 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:32.259 it comes to the next part of the question, which 00:08:32.259 --> 00:08:36.700 was, were they in the flood, all the things, 00:08:36.980 --> 00:08:39.720 were they on the Ark? Because we've been to the 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:44.960 Ark encounter. They do say that there were dinosaurs 00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:50.799 on the Ark. I asked you today, I said, I think 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:53.539 it's ridiculous. I don't agree with that. You 00:08:53.539 --> 00:08:55.919 said, Well, dad, you're an idiot. No, he did. 00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:59.980 He did. He did. He did not say that. But he pushed 00:08:59.980 --> 00:09:04.120 back and I said, we talked about kinds, kinds 00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:07.179 of animals like we have wolves that ultimately 00:09:07.179 --> 00:09:11.019 would become a kind of dog. Right. Like so. And 00:09:11.019 --> 00:09:12.899 I said, well, we don't really have that with 00:09:12.899 --> 00:09:14.220 dinosaurs. And that's where you went in. We're 00:09:14.220 --> 00:09:16.799 like, well, dinosaur isn't a kind. So go into 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.879 a little bit of that. Yes. So kind. I don't know 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.740 what the Hebrew word is, but it We don't really 00:09:24.740 --> 00:09:27.299 know what it means. It's like either like family 00:09:27.299 --> 00:09:30.299 species genus. It could be whatever We're just 00:09:30.299 --> 00:09:32.759 taking it to mean like what can interbreed so 00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:37.299 like foxes wolves dogs They can all breed together. 00:09:37.299 --> 00:09:41.179 So that's why we have a dog kind dinosaurs you 00:09:41.179 --> 00:09:45.139 have I Guess I was talking about sauropods earlier. 00:09:45.139 --> 00:09:49.139 That would be like a kind but within that you 00:09:49.139 --> 00:09:51.919 have different types that may not have been able 00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:55.950 to interbreed, just like in real life, you have 00:09:55.950 --> 00:10:00.529 stuff that can be categorized as fish, but not 00:10:00.529 --> 00:10:03.090 all fish can interbreed together like a shark 00:10:03.090 --> 00:10:05.929 can't breed with a goldfish, but it's technically 00:10:05.929 --> 00:10:12.289 a fish. So I forgot the question because I was 00:10:12.289 --> 00:10:19.539 just. Yeah. So from there, we want to ask. Were 00:10:19.539 --> 00:10:21.460 they on the ark because I got us off just saying 00:10:21.460 --> 00:10:23.500 like you where you and I kind of disagree on 00:10:23.500 --> 00:10:25.220 different things I don't think they were on the 00:10:25.220 --> 00:10:27.980 ark you do. Why do you think they were on the 00:10:27.980 --> 00:10:31.519 ark and we'll go from there? Yes, so I believe 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:34.460 that they were on the ark because God said take 00:10:34.460 --> 00:10:38.220 two of every kind of animal So that means that 00:10:38.220 --> 00:10:41.120 there were dinosaurs that did die in the flood 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:43.980 because obviously Noah didn't take Every single 00:10:43.980 --> 00:10:46.899 animal that was around at the time onto the ark 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:51.159 But also, I think a lot of the reason why everyone 00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:53.559 struggles so much with that idea is they picture 00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:57.639 like these massive the size of a house dinosaurs. 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:01.279 But really, like it would have just they were 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:04.179 juveniles. I know it wouldn't have taken grown 00:11:04.179 --> 00:11:06.159 adults because grown adults would have been close 00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:09.960 to the end of their. Peak breeding time, like 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:12.159 when they could have children, it would make 00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:13.759 more sense if they were younger, because when 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:15.399 they got off, they still would have had years 00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.639 and years and years that they could use. to have 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:21.159 babies. So like most of the animals on the ark 00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:26.179 were like the size of a beagle. And then the 00:11:26.179 --> 00:11:28.419 dinosaurs were probably only like they were like 00:11:28.419 --> 00:11:30.179 they were teenagers. They were like maybe the 00:11:30.179 --> 00:11:33.860 size of a car, like a truck. They weren't they 00:11:33.860 --> 00:11:38.639 weren't super big. So that's why I'm like, yes, 00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:42.159 some did die in the flood. There's a lot of famous 00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:45.820 fossils that only work if they would have died 00:11:45.820 --> 00:11:48.580 in the flood. And the way you get a fossil is 00:11:48.580 --> 00:11:51.320 once it dies, it has to be buried like instantly, 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:56.980 because it cannot get because oxygen scavengers 00:11:56.980 --> 00:12:01.059 all that would find it. And when it starts to 00:12:01.059 --> 00:12:04.379 decompose bones, there's little holes in your 00:12:04.379 --> 00:12:07.940 bones, pores in that absorbs all the dirt has 00:12:07.940 --> 00:12:11.759 to be like specific kind of mud. And then it 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:14.970 turns basically into rock. Some of the most famous 00:12:14.970 --> 00:12:19.009 ones is like An ancient like fish species like 00:12:19.009 --> 00:12:21.529 halfway giving birth. It's like basically halfway 00:12:21.529 --> 00:12:24.409 out There's another one where two dinosaurs are 00:12:24.409 --> 00:12:27.629 fighting in both of them. It's like it was just 00:12:27.629 --> 00:12:29.769 in the process of giving birth they were just 00:12:29.769 --> 00:12:34.049 fighting like if it was something like a Meteorite 00:12:34.049 --> 00:12:35.809 like that was sending all this dust. They would 00:12:35.809 --> 00:12:38.509 have seen the giant meteorite like coming down. 00:12:38.509 --> 00:12:41.309 They would have known a flood. It's just like 00:12:41.500 --> 00:12:43.899 all this water and all this dirt because the 00:12:43.899 --> 00:12:47.620 Bible says that the depths burst open so that 00:12:47.620 --> 00:12:50.259 the ground like split apart and all the water 00:12:50.259 --> 00:12:52.899 like rushed out and it was raining so there's 00:12:52.899 --> 00:12:55.740 no time to react to that it's just like you see 00:12:55.740 --> 00:12:59.919 it you're dead whatever but then there were some 00:12:59.919 --> 00:13:04.840 that were on the ark that when they got off um 00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:07.879 and that's like a whole other thing if we okay 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:13.509 yes so the Arc is what caused the ice age. Yeah. 00:13:13.809 --> 00:13:16.330 So here's where we're going with this. So the 00:13:16.330 --> 00:13:19.450 question then becomes, OK, so there were dinosaurs. 00:13:20.009 --> 00:13:22.870 We know they're fossils. We know dinosaurs existed. 00:13:23.750 --> 00:13:26.730 So dinosaurs were on the on the arc. Why aren't 00:13:26.730 --> 00:13:28.950 they here now? What would have happened to them? 00:13:29.029 --> 00:13:32.590 Why are they not here now? So that's where we 00:13:32.590 --> 00:13:37.440 get to the ice age before the flood. You think 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:40.120 like, oh, like it didn't rain. It was a desert. 00:13:41.059 --> 00:13:44.659 Not like sand and like all that kind of desert, 00:13:45.620 --> 00:13:47.980 like the geographical, like little to no rainfall. 00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:51.980 The climate before the flood was like subtropical. 00:13:52.019 --> 00:13:55.039 It was like a big humidity dome. And when you 00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:58.919 have all this water that just was 10 ,000 feet 00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.779 of water that was over the earth, you are just 00:14:01.779 --> 00:14:04.360 like cooling the atmosphere. So when you get 00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:07.460 off, you're going to have Cool summers and you're 00:14:07.460 --> 00:14:10.659 going to have warm oceans, which would have allowed 00:14:10.659 --> 00:14:14.159 for a ton of rain, not rainfall, snowfall, five 00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:17.080 hundred years of snow and then seven, two hundred 00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:19.860 years of melt in the northern regions. So as 00:14:19.860 --> 00:14:23.440 they would have spread across. There would have 00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:26.779 been less food of the dietary things that they 00:14:26.779 --> 00:14:28.799 would have eaten. So all you have all these herbivores 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.820 not having what they were used to eating. And 00:14:31.820 --> 00:14:34.519 when those die of hunger. You have all these 00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:39.879 carnivores that eat have to eat a lot of meat. 00:14:40.299 --> 00:14:44.000 They don't have their prey of choice anymore. 00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:47.879 So because of all the atmospheric change and 00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:52.899 then also man didn't eat meat before the flood. 00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:54.460 It wasn't until after the flood that God was 00:14:54.460 --> 00:14:57.620 like, hey, all these things, you can eat them. 00:14:57.620 --> 00:14:59.679 So on top of that, because I was a thing, you 00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:02.320 have all these other people groups that are like, 00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:06.200 OK, this is a big animal. Let's try eating it. 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:14.559 So you're saying between the Ice Age and hunting, 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:19.460 that's what killed off the remainder of the dinosaurs 00:15:19.460 --> 00:15:25.100 type things. What do are there anything now that 00:15:25.100 --> 00:15:27.580 are alive that are that that would have been 00:15:27.580 --> 00:15:32.200 a dinosaur? Yeah, like, like, is there something 00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:34.740 like, like an alligator is an alligator or crocodile 00:15:34.740 --> 00:15:38.679 considered a modern day dinosaur? Their legs 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:42.299 are on the sides of their body. Secular scientists 00:15:42.299 --> 00:15:44.600 would be like, yeah, it's birds. But because 00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:47.139 we don't believe that dinosaurs evolved into 00:15:47.139 --> 00:15:51.159 birds, there is no living thing that is a dinosaur, 00:15:51.220 --> 00:15:54.360 which is also why, like, if you know anything 00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:58.500 about, like, Clauss's genesis, Genetics, they're 00:15:58.500 --> 00:16:01.059 trying to bring back the mammoth. The only reason 00:16:01.059 --> 00:16:02.639 that they can do any of the stuff that they're 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:07.059 doing is because it has a modern descendent. 00:16:07.059 --> 00:16:09.259 They're using Indian elephants, the dire wolves 00:16:09.259 --> 00:16:12.299 are using wolves. And even though it's not a 00:16:12.299 --> 00:16:17.440 full thing, it's like point like zero two percent. 00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:20.279 Not exactly, but it's like barely anything of 00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:23.179 that animal. The reason why we can't do the same 00:16:23.179 --> 00:16:27.730 for dinosaurs is because we don't have a modern 00:16:27.730 --> 00:16:32.070 dissonant dinosaurs. That makes sense. That makes 00:16:32.070 --> 00:16:37.370 a lot of sense. OK. I think we've pretty much 00:16:37.370 --> 00:16:42.230 kind of covered. I mean, is there any final thoughts 00:16:42.230 --> 00:16:46.110 that you're like, yeah, in a matter of 20 minutes, 00:16:46.190 --> 00:16:49.629 we have tried to answer the question. So, yes, 00:16:49.970 --> 00:16:53.690 dinosaurs were in the Bible. Yes, dinosaurs lived 00:16:53.690 --> 00:16:56.889 with man like they weren't two different. uh 00:16:56.889 --> 00:17:03.929 um times in in in the in the timeline you know 00:17:03.929 --> 00:17:09.730 uh um like we know that dinosaurs and man were 00:17:09.730 --> 00:17:11.990 together i don't remember fossil wise i think 00:17:11.990 --> 00:17:14.890 that we have found some stuff where it's like 00:17:14.890 --> 00:17:18.849 uh modern animals that existed with man that 00:17:18.849 --> 00:17:21.630 in the secular worldview didn't exist until man 00:17:21.630 --> 00:17:26.069 did or in the same fossil layer as dinosaurs, 00:17:26.630 --> 00:17:29.089 which for us, if you start at the bottom of fossil 00:17:29.089 --> 00:17:30.789 layer, you have all these aquatic animals and 00:17:30.789 --> 00:17:34.210 you slowly go up, man's at the top. Well, in 00:17:34.210 --> 00:17:37.569 the case of a flood, if you slowly go up, it's 00:17:37.569 --> 00:17:39.509 the animals in the upper layers could have gotten 00:17:39.509 --> 00:17:44.029 higher to avoid the floodwaters. I'm but also 00:17:44.029 --> 00:17:48.910 even like in like the Middle Ages in Marco Polo, 00:17:48.990 --> 00:17:53.700 Marco Polo, despite having some Time starts like 00:17:53.700 --> 00:17:56.480 oh, no, he was exaggerating. He was a liar like 00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:59.259 said that when he was on his journey He saw like 00:17:59.259 --> 00:18:01.700 essentially a velociraptor in a cave hissing 00:18:01.700 --> 00:18:05.700 at him. There's like cave drawings like on the 00:18:05.700 --> 00:18:09.839 Indians have stuff of Dinosaurs, I think it's 00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:12.140 the Indians that have like a dinosaur like spinning 00:18:12.140 --> 00:18:14.759 something. I'm pretty sure the Egyptians have 00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:18.119 stuff People in Peru like and cultures all over 00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:22.299 the world have like these cave drawings or carvings 00:18:22.299 --> 00:18:24.720 or images of stuff that looked like dinosaurs. 00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:32.059 So. Real fast. We just need to discuss the difference 00:18:32.059 --> 00:18:38.579 between macro evolution, micro evolution, because 00:18:38.579 --> 00:18:41.359 we believe in micro evolution. We don't believe 00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:46.039 in macro evolution. So explain the difference 00:18:46.039 --> 00:18:50.230 between macro and micro. So micro evolution is 00:18:50.230 --> 00:18:53.329 where it stays in the same species. It's actually 00:18:53.329 --> 00:18:56.269 what Charles Darwin had originally proposed. 00:18:56.329 --> 00:18:59.150 If you look at his origin of species, the famous 00:18:59.150 --> 00:19:03.589 finches, that's micro evolution. It was still 00:19:03.589 --> 00:19:06.750 a finch. It was just a tiny change in the beak. 00:19:08.309 --> 00:19:12.190 So going back to like wolves and wolves becoming, 00:19:12.369 --> 00:19:16.380 you know, we can go foxes and dogs and They can 00:19:16.380 --> 00:19:19.940 stay within their kind, but it's not like macro 00:19:19.940 --> 00:19:24.539 evolution. And they use like for the micro like 00:19:24.539 --> 00:19:27.519 farming stuff, it'd be like if when a cow goes 00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:30.119 to a colder climate, if it starts developing 00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:34.680 like. A thicker, thicker coat or thicker hooves 00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:37.339 like that is micro because it's still a cow. 00:19:37.859 --> 00:19:42.339 Macro is what like the most popular form of evolution 00:19:42.339 --> 00:19:45.250 is, which is like. The goo turned into a fish 00:19:45.250 --> 00:19:48.789 which turned into a frog which turned into a 00:19:48.789 --> 00:19:51.890 monkey which turned into a man like completely 00:19:51.890 --> 00:19:57.390 different species and there is like there is 00:19:57.390 --> 00:20:01.289 no modern day or ever evidence like oh yeah this 00:20:01.289 --> 00:20:04.609 thing could become this thing which is why like 00:20:04.609 --> 00:20:07.190 it really struggles for like a hypothesis because 00:20:07.190 --> 00:20:09.990 you have to actually be able to like witness 00:20:09.990 --> 00:20:12.910 it for you to be like yeah like this makes sense. 00:20:14.530 --> 00:20:19.109 because science has to be observable and evolution 00:20:19.109 --> 00:20:22.789 is not observable. And even if you were to create, 00:20:23.089 --> 00:20:26.509 try to recreate it all, it's still man being 00:20:26.509 --> 00:20:31.450 able to control all of the factors to be. So 00:20:31.450 --> 00:20:33.349 we don't, that's why we don't believe in macro 00:20:33.349 --> 00:20:37.950 evolution. Okay. Hopefully that helps briefly 00:20:37.950 --> 00:20:40.269 just kind of answer just those three questions 00:20:40.269 --> 00:20:43.519 of Yes, there were dinosaurs in the Bible. Yes, 00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:47.619 they were part of creation story. Yes, they were 00:20:47.619 --> 00:20:50.240 in the flood and there were some on the arc. 00:20:51.339 --> 00:20:56.039 Anything else you want to share? All right. Well, 00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:57.859 if you guys do have any other questions in regards 00:20:57.859 --> 00:21:00.420 to that or if it sparks more, please let us know. 00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:02.039 I'm sure Noah would love to come back. Thanks 00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:03.819 so much for listening. My name is Pastor Logan 00:21:03.819 --> 00:21:06.599 Merrick and I get the chance to pastor the local 00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:09.029 church, Christ our cornerstone church. In O 'Neill, 00:21:09.049 --> 00:21:11.529 Nebraska, we would love to have you if you are 00:21:11.529 --> 00:21:14.430 ever in the area. Looking forward to this Sunday 00:21:14.430 --> 00:21:18.690 as I will continue part two to my sermon that 00:21:18.690 --> 00:21:21.069 was from this past Easter, which was about Christ, 00:21:21.509 --> 00:21:25.130 Lord, liar or lunatic. Have a great rest of your 00:21:25.130 --> 00:21:26.490 week. We'll see you Sunday. Bye bye.
