I was blessed, a few decades ago my church had a Sunday school class for the teens and adults that went "The Lie" by Ken Ham and "The Great Dinosaur Mystery Solved". They realized the crisis of the teaching of evolution and knew that this must be addressed. A HUGE thank you to Ken Ham for writing that book by the way!!! Long before that my youth group had gone to see Ken Ham preach at a church in person which was amazing I had acquired one of his cassettes and listened to it over and over. Since then I've dug deeply into books that support biblical creation and views on dinosaurs. I took my family to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum a couple years back.
Science teachers teach science. Evolution is the foundation of, and the core principle of, modern Biology and genetics. It is impossible to simply 'remove' evolution from the field of biology. That would be like removing words from Shakespearean literature or removing integers from mathematics. Evolutionary biology is one of the most important fields of science, as it leads to advancements in agriculture, medicine, and more. Much of modern medicine is based directly upon evolutionary theory. Most religious people around the world, including Christians and scientists who are religious, have no trouble accepting the reality of biological evolution. It's just young Earth creationists who have a problem with it, you know? Scientists conduct science, and science teachers teach science, and evolution is a very important part a biology, so it must be taught.

Our Evolution classes started with "We think..." and in the same breath they continued with "therefore we know....". I got good marks for answering the taught answers on my tests but my overall grades suffered when I questioned the "we think therefore we know" start to the evolution propaganda. Pointing out all of the carvings, drawings, paintings, and etcetera that shouldn't exist from around the world didn't help me.

@jockyoung4491 - you missed the part where generations of fully grown adults were indoctrinated K - thru - college in this “evidence”. You know what we find? We watch everything considered EXCEPT historical accounts that run against the humanist/evolutionist worldview. The paradigm is hodge-podged together and ductaped to keep the narrative alive that this is all an accident. I watched soft tissue get found in fossils - scientific journals refused to publish it, no matter what replicated results were presented. Only after it was found by too many was it even discussed and it is still not taught in classrooms. We were supposed to see proto-galaxies from James Webb and we see fully formed galaxies with heavy elements. The timeline paradigm is only elongated and not questioned to its core. The hubris and bias of the community that claims “science” as its name is anything but impartial.

@SparkyBobcat-el8hf your comment represents one of the reasons a lot of people avoid Christianity. Denominations fighting against other denominations, everybody thinking their interpretation is correct.. that other church over there, well, they're just wrong. One would think that if a perfect God, who wished to deliver a perfect message to Creation, would have done it in a way that everybody could understand. Probably wouldn't also just show up in a relatively small region of the world, talk to some people there, tell them all to spread the message to every human, then leave.

A curiosity I’ve had about the flood was what about the marine fish and animals of the ocean, as well as the fresh water wildlife. Salt water life couldn’t survive the fresh water, neither could fresh water life survive salt water. Sea turtles and fresh water turtles and other animals that needed the ocean as well as land both to survive. What happened to them?
Another explanation is that, at the time, there was less salt in the water, and the fish hadn't been diversified through natural selection enough that some were better in saltwater whereas others were better in freshwater.
@@jockyoung4491The irony there is crazy. You are commenting on a vid specifically made to explain the Bible from a scientific viewpoint. Did you even watch the video?
24:33 which was entirely intentional because MANY more people will see the original article than the retraction, and those like-minded people won’t report on the retraction.
Excellent, just a few facts missing : Gen.1:1 is separate to the 6 creative days so no time period is given in the Bible for the universe creation. AFTER that come the first of 6 'days' (which are epochs of time as the hebrew word does not mean 24hrs! -it means longtime) so earth can be millions / billions of years old, and each of the 6 'days' can be thousands of years. All fossils date to circa 2370 BCE as they can only be formed by the deluge, and recently many have been found to have flexible tissue inside the bones, which verifies that fact.
Still would mean all species are billions of years old and if mankind showed up so late in the game then why is there death before mankinds creation? You are mixing humanism with creation.
Also you think nasa is honest about the universe. This creation is all there is, everything else is a fairytale. There is no star trek space to fly to other planets.

@jockyoung4491 I wonder why and how the man came up with the term. I forget his name now but he was a member of the X club of which Darwin was also a member. These Victorian men determined what was supposedly true in the aread of natural history and science etc. They had immense influence.
@@nikkygovier3783 Richard Owen named the dinosaurs when only 3 species had been found. It means "terrible reptile", as any schoolkid knows. Owen was very influential and the X club was totally against him. But yes, some scientists have influence and that is generally a good thing. Science is how we learn how the world works.
@jockyoung4491 I know that in the Greek it means terrible lizard but it is an interesting breakdown in Latin. I'm all for science but lies, willful ignorance and desire for control are also found amongst the scientific community as they are among that of archaeologists. A 'pet' theory is champanioned and claimed as truth,even when conflicting evidence arises.
I am a biblical creationist. i suggest there were no dinosaurs. I inist theropod dinosaurs were JUST flightless ground birds misidentifieed due to a lack of imagination in seeing a greater spectrum of diversity in bird kinds. Indeed the wolves and bears and seals , I suggest, were within a kind. one pair off the ark. we creationists must enlarge what a kind can be. Trying to deny hpw birdlike theropod dinos were is hopeless. tHus why they say birds come from dinos. Trex had a wishbone, feathers, bird walking and simply was a flightless ground bird that flew on creation week. Teeth and tail just minor adaptions to a new world of death. there were no dinos after the flood and no so called mammals before. tHis because they were the same creatures. The theropods are the clue. Think about this option organized creationism. It works and explains things.
When I was in Ornithology class in college, the professor gave two theories on where birds supposedly branched off from reptiles. He then told us the arguments each scientist made for their theory and proof of why the opposing theory was not possible. The logical conclusion would have been that since both scientists had disproved the opposing theory, both theories had to be wrong. The professor's conclusion: We don't know which of these theories is right.
Simple, just use basic taxonomy . And you see that modern Day Birds are in a Group called avialae wich also contains extingt dinosaurs like microraptor, cofuciusornis, anchiornus, .. Conclution:Birds are a sepparate group of dinosaurs. No evolution needed.
An argument that an opposing theory is not possible is not proof. It is just an argument. We don't know which of these theories is right because we don't yet have enough evidence to be sure. But everybody agrees that birds evolved from archosaurs

First they are what they are now after thousands of years of interbreeding, the result of hybridization of the cross-linkage of their DNA led them to be the way they are now but when God created them they were different in many features without being different species.

Science teachers teach science. Evolution is the foundation of, and the core principle of, modern Biology and genetics. It is impossible to simply 'remove' evolution from the field of biology. That would be like removing words from Shakespearean literature or removing integers from mathematics.
Evolutionary biology is one of the most important fields of science, as it leads to advancements in agriculture, medicine, and more.
Much of modern medicine is based directly upon evolutionary theory. Most religious people around the world, including Christians and scientists who are religious, have no trouble accepting the reality of biological evolution. It's just young Earth creationists who have a problem with it, you know?
Scientists conduct science, and science teachers teach science, and evolution is a very important part a biology, so it must be taught.

Maybe because you suggested that drawings are somehow scientific evidence of .. anything.
I'd like to know some of that evidence for curiositys sake. I am in agreement as a fellow Christian who does not believe in the Bible because it's fun, but because it is True. Therefore the Word of God, therefore Jesus, the Truth.

If you are genuinely curious, then why not look at the evidence FOR evolution?
@jockyoung4491 - you missed the part where generations of fully grown adults were indoctrinated K - thru - college in this “evidence”. You know what we find? We watch everything considered EXCEPT historical accounts that run against the humanist/evolutionist worldview. The paradigm is hodge-podged together and ductaped to keep the narrative alive that this is all an accident. I watched soft tissue get found in fossils - scientific journals refused to publish it, no matter what replicated results were presented. Only after it was found by too many was it even discussed and it is still not taught in classrooms. We were supposed to see proto-galaxies from James Webb and we see fully formed galaxies with heavy elements. The timeline paradigm is only elongated and not questioned to its core. The hubris and bias of the community that claims “science” as its name is anything but impartial.

A curiosity I’ve had about the flood was what about the marine fish and animals of the ocean, as well as the fresh water wildlife. Salt water life couldn’t survive the fresh water, neither could fresh water life survive salt water. Sea turtles and fresh water turtles and other animals that needed the ocean as well as land both to survive. What happened to them?
It's not supposed to make logical sense. Stories teach ideas, not facts.
AIG has talked about that too. There could have been pockets of fresh water that was separated from the salt water during the Flood.
@@CariPR94 "There could have been"
So if your beliefs are illogical, just make something up to make it fit.
Another explanation is that, at the time, there was less salt in the water, and the fish hadn't been diversified through natural selection enough that some were better in saltwater whereas others were better in freshwater.

24:33 which was entirely intentional because MANY more people will see the original article than the retraction, and those like-minded people won’t report on the retraction.
Excellent, just a few facts missing : Gen.1:1 is separate to the 6 creative days so no time period is given in the Bible for the universe creation. AFTER that come the first of 6 'days' (which are epochs of time as the hebrew word does not mean 24hrs! -it means longtime) so earth can be millions / billions of years old, and each of the 6 'days' can be thousands of years.
All fossils date to circa 2370 BCE as they can only be formed by the deluge, and recently many have been found to have flexible tissue inside the bones, which verifies that fact.
We have found over 250,000 species of fossils spread over 3 billiun years.
Still would mean all species are billions of years old and if mankind showed up so late in the game then why is there death before mankinds creation? You are mixing humanism with creation.
Also you think nasa is honest about the universe. This creation is all there is, everything else is a fairytale. There is no star trek space to fly to other planets.

Dinosaur. Di nos aur means "give us gold" in Latin. Look up the 'X Club' fraternity of Victorian scientists.
But that is not where the word comes from.
@jockyoung4491 I wonder why and how the man came up with the term. I forget his name now but he was a member of the X club of which Darwin was also a member. These Victorian men determined what was supposedly true in the aread of natural history and science etc. They had immense influence.
@@nikkygovier3783
Richard Owen named the dinosaurs when only 3 species had been found. It means "terrible reptile", as any schoolkid knows. Owen was very influential and the X club was totally against him. But yes, some scientists have influence and that is generally a good thing. Science is how we learn how the world works.
@jockyoung4491 I know that in the Greek it means terrible lizard but it is an interesting breakdown in Latin. I'm all for science but lies, willful ignorance and desire for control are also found amongst the scientific community as they are among that of archaeologists.

@jockyoung4491 my reply has been removed. How predictable 🙄
"Go into all the world and preach the creation"
I am a biblical creationist. i suggest there were no dinosaurs. I inist theropod dinosaurs were JUST flightless ground birds misidentifieed due to a lack of imagination in seeing a greater spectrum of diversity in bird kinds. Indeed the wolves and bears and seals , I suggest, were within a kind. one pair off the ark. we creationists must enlarge what a kind can be. Trying to deny hpw birdlike theropod dinos were is hopeless. tHus why they say birds come from dinos. Trex had a wishbone, feathers, bird walking and simply was a flightless ground bird that flew on creation week. Teeth and tail just minor adaptions to a new world of death. there were no dinos after the flood and no so called mammals before. tHis because they were the same creatures. The theropods are the clue. Think about this option organized creationism. It works and explains things.
When I was in Ornithology class in college, the professor gave two theories on where birds supposedly branched off from reptiles. He then told us the arguments each scientist made for their theory and proof of why the opposing theory was not possible. The logical conclusion would have been that since both scientists had disproved the opposing theory, both theories had to be wrong. The professor's conclusion: We don't know which of these theories is right.
Simple, just use basic taxonomy . And you see that modern Day Birds are in a Group called avialae wich also contains extingt dinosaurs like microraptor, cofuciusornis, anchiornus, ..
Conclution:Birds are a sepparate group of dinosaurs. No evolution needed.
An argument that an opposing theory is not possible is not proof. It is just an argument. We don't know which of these theories is right because we don't yet have enough evidence to be sure. But everybody agrees that birds evolved from archosaurs
@@jockyoung4491 and then looking at the skeleton structure we see that Birds are dinosaurs . It's not that complicated

@ we are talking about facts don’t pretend you know everything because you read the Bible no that’s Not how it works at all, why you think scientists now knows the real age of the earth? They study rocks and the rocks are much older then us Humans
This video has the record in lies and nonsense per minute...
Its factually accurate, "NUH UHHHHH 😭" isn't a rebuttal.
@noneyabidness9644 nuh uhhhhh...
You spelled "nonsense" wrong.

What a ridiculous nonsense.
Then why are you here?😂

Exactly, it is important that people know if they are misinformed

But that just makes you a Creation Denier, so you have gained nothing, solved nothing, and answered nothing by being here in the comments section.
@@John3_16andthensome I was raised a YEC, so I know what arguments they make and that none of them actually hold water. I don't completely deny creation, although I find it much more unlikely than scientific explanations. Evolution doesn't rely on abiogenesis. Clearly, however the universe began, evolution is how we reached the diversity of life we see today, and clearly the earth is much, much older than 6,000 years.
At least in the beginning you admit that you are NOT talking about science - only faith. If you start with the premise that anything that conradicts the Bible can't be true, then you are not doing science. In fact, you are not thinking for yourself at all That's your choice, but then don't pretend to speak for science,
He literally proved what he said. I encourage you too dive deeper keep studying. The flood is where fossils come from. They have fossils of animals giving birth, explain how that took millions of years? Science dont add up. But a flood explains it so common sense you wonder why people like yourself fight the truth.
You realize the same is true if you start with the assumption of evolution, right? No one has observed the mechanisms of abiogenesis, which is required for evolution to work, in history. Both approaches rely on an assumption and faith.
@@christiskingfjb There is zero evidence for a global Noah's Flood. There is evidence for lots of *local* flooding and *local* ocean ingresses over the last 500 million years but nothing showing all sediment was deposited in the same year only 4400 years ago.
@@zacharyhagen2307 Abiogenesis is not required for evolution to work. Evolution is a natural process which happens after life is here. How the life got here does not matter to the process.
@@zacharyhagen2307
Wrong on all counts. Abiogenesis is NOT required for evolution to work. Obviously life has to exist, but it doesn't matter how it started.
The fact that we have no observed abiogenesis does not prove it impossible.
Biological evolution is proven based on evidence, so no it is not an assumption.
Genesis is man made fiction. A 76 year old agnostic atheist that reads, thinks, and knows how the world works.

Dragons have the head and the cronwn of horns of a triceratops the, long neck the body the tail and the back legs of a brachiosarus, the face and the front legs of a T-Rex, the wings of a pterodactyl.
Er, OK. 🤪
@@donteatthecats0001You believe in billions of years of blind chance leading to evolution, but the idea that dragons are real is where you draw the line.
@donteatthecats0001 do meteorites contain radioactive elements? What if what survived was a bunch of dino crossbreed with genetic modification that looked like dragon?
@@E-102GammaMKII, Primitive superstitious people find some dinosaur fossils and bingo, the dragon myths are born.
@@E-102GammaMKII Because dragons cant exist. They are far too big to lift their bodies, and would be far too energy-needing to just breathe.
