Dr. John Sanford, thank you for opening up by publicly acknowledging that you are a Young-Earth Creationist. I admire your bravery. You are doing a good work. Thank you for having him Dr. Tour.
@@rubiks6 I dunno. You've got people scientifically ignorant enough to think Earth and its life are only 6000 years old. They might be dumb enough to believe in a flat Earth too.
I study molecular dynamics and condensed matter physics. There needs to be more literature out there about information theory, communication theory, and Shannon entropy and the role they play in biology. I'm glad these talks exist. It's amazing stuff.
Leszek Rzepecki The myth is your magical time daddy. Mutation are bad, they don't create new features. Kissing a frog won't make it a prince, but you think it will with enough time.
Leszek Rzepecki Your comment shows how ignorant you are. I don't need to put our God on trial so you can pretend to be the judge. Millions if not billions have come to faith in Christ, so that answers your first face palm. Second, your magical time daddy only makes things worse for you. That's why you mock because you can't put forth anything intelligent to say. Respond to this: Mutation are bad, there are thousands of genetic diseases in the human population as a result of mutation. You say these mutations power evolution, so I ask you to provide me one beneficial mutation that is not reductive. Give me an example of a new system or new information that can take a fish to fisherman. Try bringing me an argument instead of brainless ramblings of desperation because you want to reject your God who loves you very much.
Leszek Rzepecki He loves you very much. Can you give me an example of a beneficial mutation that is not reductive, that can take a fish to fisherman? I can give you thousands of examples of genetic diseases proving that mutations are bad. Also, why is there a link to Mendels accountant at the NIH? I'll tell you, because they don't deny reality like you internet atheists.
Leszek Rzepecki Just as I thought, no examples. Looks like you are the one with the religion of naturalism. Like I said, I can give you thousands of examples of why mutations are bad. You can only give insults. Looks like science is not your thing after all... How about this, how about a live RUclips debate?
Dr. Tour, you are not only bringing the truth of Jesus to the scientific community, but you are helping to bring science itself back to truth!! Thank you!!! And thank you Dr. Sanford for your brilliant work.
The protein switches explanation literally filled my heart with love for our God. It's as if our DNA is the OS and proteins are programs that run on our DNA.....like what??? What an amazing creation we are. Glory to our Lord!
I am enjoying this podcast so much. I have read Genetic Entropy twice and it is excellent. I also am young earth Creationist and surprised to find how little attention is given to Creationist Geologists who give such amazing evidence for the flood. Thank you so much and I appreciate both of you and your great knowledge which you are willing to share with ordinary mortals like me. God continue to bless you both.
Thank you brother Jim for hosting such a wonderful brother in Christ and great scientist! I've learned so much from both of you. You are my American hero.
Would be great for Dr. Tour to present a telecast on each of Dr. Sanford's six books. Jame's 'Science and Faith' podcasts are great in highlighting the role of solid faith in sound scientific research. Wonderful chanllenge to our thinking.
@@anewmaninchrist Amen. That's awesome. Did you change your account name to "a new man in christ" after you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour? That's awesome.
Bro thats amazing. This is so inspiring. I saw your name and I realized what happened before even opening the replies. Thats so rare to see someone honest enough to really look at the scientific evidence and come to Christ because of that. I followed a very similar path, I was so hard hearted and could never walk by blind faith, even after becoming a YEC I still doubted at every corner and every new piece of evidence the evolutionists would come up with because of my skepticism but eventually with enough research I realized the Bible is the truth.
I read the book by John Sanford "Genetic Entropy" . Its excellent. Blessings from Poland, dear beloved brothers! P.S. Poland in Europe, not in Maine, USA 😊
Thank you so much for doing this important interview. Just this past Sunday I referred to each of you in my sermon, not knowing that you knew one another, or that this podcast was forthcoming. Thank you again. God bless you!
I can't wait for Dr. Sanford to defend the 6,000 year old earth and the universe... He can start by explaining how the light travelled to the earth from the edge of the universe... and at what speed.... ;-)
@I McHunt Where is the actual answer to Sandford's statement? "6:06 I have to defend something quite 06:08 difficult which is actually 06:10 young earth creationism..." What did I miss, exactly?
@@RedefineLiving I can tell you the difference you are looking for but proving your assumptions is going to be a problem...not that Einstein's assumptions in his theory of relativity are experimentally verifiable either... There are other theories too ... including geocentrism... with the same problem... 😉
Wow, that was fantastic! Thank You, Lord, for these godly men! Also, yes, Heaven is a wonderful place where some of us will live (albeit temporarily)! More significantly, we (believers) will rule & reign with Jesus here on Earth for one-thousand years during His Millennial Kingdom, and then on the New Earth for the rest of Eternity!
Both incredible scientists, thanks for your knowledge, wisdom and time sharing with us. Especially this interview with John Sanford is really interesting. I did not know him before you introducing him to your podcast. Thank you James Tour for this amazing initiative! I am a christian and bachelor student Biotechnology at the Wageningen University & Research (Netherlands) myself. These kind of videos help me to articulate my faith in a more scientific way.
Group Think or Peer Group Pressure is powerful enough to quell all rational ideas. As a retired Therapist, I see many, many people hold on to irrational, self harmful ideas. By Renewing the Mind according to Romans 12:1-2 is important. Thank you for helping us take every thought captive to the “Mind of Christ”.
WOW. GReat discussion. I would love for you to do a roundtable with Professor Rupert Sheldrake, Bret Weinstein Dr. John Sanford. That would be EPICCCCCC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was only when I actually started _learning_ about molecular biology that I began to understand that evolution *cannot* explain what we observe.
@@settledown444: _"THINK Ken."_ That's *excellent* advice, Tim. I do, I do. Let me encourage you to do the same. I haven't had the opportunity to read the book "Genetic Entropy" yet. So I don't really believe or disbelieve it. But _he_ is _not_ the only one to come to the conclusion that damaging mutations accumulate too fast for evolution to work. I encountered it a while ago and the more I _"THINK"_ about it, the more sense it makes.
@@settledown444: _"... all you do is regurgitate Sanford's idiotic claims with zero understanding."_ Oh. I guess you're _not_ the Tim H that I know. He never accused me of having _"zero understanding"._ But that _"regurgitate"_ saw is pretty old. When have you _ever_ seen anything I say replicated anywhere else, except under my name? *Tim H:* _"Feel free to explain the last 700 millions years of life recorded in the fossil record ..."_ Simple. The _"fossil record"_ is a *snapshot* of life that existed at the time of the flood. The _"700 million years"_ was a 19th century error that some people refuse to let go of. *Tim H:* _"the Cambrian explosion,"_ The Cambrian explosion is the biggest *proof of creation* in the fossils. How can you possibly go from simple life to most of today's families of life in just it's mythical 10 to 50 million year time period? And all lifeforms are distinct. There's no continuous gradient of change like you would see if life had actually evolved. *Tim H:* _"DA MAGIC NOAH'S FLUD DID IT!"_ It's easy to poke fun, but there's considerable evidence for the flood. Though much of the evidence is twisted to try to make it look like evidence of evolution. The 19th century just won't let go.
@@settledown444: _"... ignores the Ediacaran data, ..."_ It's not my job to correct all your errors. I'm not up on that, though I will mention that Wikipedia says, _"The concept of "Ediacaran Biota" is somewhat artificial as it cannot be defined geographically, stratigraphically, taphonomically, or biologically."_ But you put confidence in it. *Tim H:* _"... ignores the 5 major mass extinctions and ..."_ There's been one mass extinction. Since your dates are all in error, it's not hard to stretch one event into five. *Tim H:* _"... how did life go from the original Cambrian families through all those other millions of now extinct species to extant families and species with no evolution?"_ All kinds (which are roughly taxonomic families) were designed and created at once. Minor damaging mutations have resulted in variation within those families. It's not too tough. You assume life keeps getting more complex, but in fact life keeps going extinct. That's why you have all those extinct species. Do you really think extinction helps the case for evolution? Your flippancy reveals a lack of interest in what actually happened.
My goodness, it's becoming obvious that our linguistic superlatives are desperately inadequate in describing what God has done and is doing. This is utterly humbling. What a service you guys do for the body of Christ.
Thank you, Dr. Tour! Fascinating as always. And wow, the paper by Gerald Schroeder is awesome, brother!! He even made it to where I could understand it. I'm not a chemist or physicist, only a guy who gave his life to Jesus on the street in New Orleans 38 years ago. But I love science and apologetics, and winning souls to Jesus, and this is very exciting to hear so much to offer those who are seaking skeptics! We have the Answer! Praying for you, and Dr. Sanford!
This is a great discussion. I am not a young earth creationist, but I am an old earth creationist. My one criticism of Dr. Sanford is that he remarked twice that his decision to be a young earth creationist was a choice to fully submit to the word of God. But since Genesis was not written to be scientifically parsed, if Dr. Sanford were to fully submit to the “wordage” of the Word of God in Genesis, he would be affirming pillars propping up the earth and a flat earth with four corners. One can fully submit to the word of God, and also realize that God was intentionally accommodating himself to an ancient peoples worldview to make himself known as their Creator.
@@kimabunuh6762 That is exactly the kind step I meant. If you read the Gospels you can see on multiple occasions that Jesus said that he was God, and if that wasn't true, he would be an idiot, or a great liar.
It says in the torah that there is only one God. In the new testamen alot of sons are mentioned, but they are not Gods offspring, i have read the bible my friend 😊 David is mentioned as being Gods son, doesnt mean he is Gods offspring, God is no human and he does not beget.
GREAT interview!! Definitely invite John Sanford. for the Adam & Eve interview, especially in light of recent books by Josh Swamidass and William Lane Craig (if you haven’t done so already)! I was a young Assistant Professor at SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse when John announced development of the gene gun. There are no molecular biologists of our age (I am now 70 and a retired Emeritus Associate Professor) who doesn’t know of John Sanford and his seminal innovation.
Very well said by Dr. Sanford " all this scientific evidence is secondary to the gospel" No one becomes saved because of science and evidence. Faith in the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the only way.
Fascinating! As the carrier of two DIFFERENT homozygous mutations, and remembering all the verses related to the"end" times preceding the second coming; "1/3 of mankind will die, men will be weak," this is a fantastic witness to the veracity of the Word of God! BTW, the first mutation is present in 1 out of 3 humans!!
This is amazing work. There are those that have understood and argued this for decades.. keep up the work so that those who are and have been made reprobate in their thinking might either be awakened by the Holy Spirit through the gospel or their destruction will be to the Glory of God…😮
Thank you for sharing this conversation. For the graph at 16:00 I wonder whether the inclusion of “average Roman (45)” is relevant. For longevity information what is relevant is how long it takes people to die of old age. Changes (cultural or technological) which shift expected lifespan in an actuarial sense are not relevant to genetic fitness and lifespan. I suspect that Romans were not dying of old age at 45yrs old in the same sense that people generally don’t die of old age at 45 today. Old Romans lived just as long as people do today, yes?
There was the Wistar Institute conference on “Mathematical Challenges to the Neo-Darwinian Interpretation of Evolution” (1966). They discussed the tremendous improbability of Darwinian progression.
That book is the most remarkable publication in existence. When you find out what it does in law and what it can do for your right. It is a blooming miracle. Also, there was a woman who recently died, Miss Edna Lewis. She was the granddaughter of a slave. They created a colony in Georgia I think? They grew all their own food. Did all their own meat. The average life span was 120 years. She said that it started dropping when the government forced them to inoculate the animals. She died at 96. She looked 60.
I was a hardcore atheist for 25 years. I thought the "scientists" actually had answers. Turns out they don't know squat. They told us that the universe was full of life, but there is NO evidence. Looks like we are it. So I have to admit now that intelligent design has to be on the table. It's not a great explanation, but it is one of the theories that must be addressed.
As someone who builds a lot of things(which are basically sharp sticks compared to biology), I find anyone who says everything just randomly made itself to be laughable. If they want to debate who or what made all this, I can understand. But to say it came about randomly is ridiculous.
have you thought that maybe christianity is simply starting off from a different place?that is,by acknowledging an apparent reality about us human beings,that we are both rational and emotional.yes,we must try to understand reality the best we can through the data of our five senses,but we must also do so through our ability to love and be loved..so maybe a wholly rational worldview is ignoring the fact that we aren't wholly rational creatures?
@@Leszek.Rzepecki If only what you've stated were true. Your faith in the infallibility of science is actually rather touching, however naive it may be. Just like any other aspect of human endeavour, science is every bit as subject to corruption, bias and political expediency; perhaps even more so, given the stakes involved. Time for a reality check, old boy!
@@Leszek.Rzepecki Are you familiar with the Popperian notion of falsifiability? If you aren't, I strongly suggest you look into it. Evolution is a fundamentally unfalsifiable idea. It doesn't even have enough science in it to qualify as a theory; it's essentially a series of dogmatic assertions, based on a whole raft of a priori assumptions. I'm not suggesting that the God of the Christian bible is the only alternative, by the way, just that intelligence and purpose being fundamental to nature needn't be dismissed as quackery any longer. Try the recent work of Michael Denton, for an illustration of what I'm getting at. I particularly recommend The Fitness of Nature for Mankind, right here on RUclips. At the very least, it should fill you with a sense of awe and wonder.🤝
Im really grateful for people like James Tour and John Sanford for showing me how creationists are all a bunch of liars. I probably wouldn't be an atheist, if it weren't for people like them.
Please show time stamps for the lies you are suggesting with evidence to prove that they are lied. Your opinion is just your opinion without any supporting evidence. Who was it that said, "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"?
Please have John back soon to continue this. More on Adam and Eve, and science and the Bible. And I'd love to hear you talk to Jonathan Sarfati about anything!
Of Primary Importance To Reasonably Discussing The Scientific Or Historical Nature Of The Contents Of The Bible Is Apprehending An Accurate Translation, Arriving At A Veracious Interpretation, And Comprehending An Intimate Understanding Of It's Conversation And Context. Also, Having A Scientifically And Historically Accurate Worldview Wherewith To Compare It's Contents Is Paramount To The Arrival At A Logical Conclusion.
Dr. Tour tends to stay away from politics and conspiracy theories. I'm a biologist and my son is a doctor who calls Covid a bad cold. He pisses his hospital off by refusing to call elderly deaths from the flu or mostly pneumonia Covid. They don't get their money from the Fed if they do not die from Covid. So they have a pathologist call it Covid caused pneumonia. That way they can get the pneumonia deaths back up and still call it a Covid death. At least half the Covid deaths are bogus.
@@MountainFisher I'm glad about your son, he has integrity. Sadly, most people lack any morals and critical capacity. So they go on with this evil satanic anti-Christ circus, repeating what they hear from their leaders, from their TV and social media, because it's easier not to think and not to stand for the Truth, "just be quiet and grab the government check", but that will only worsen the situation, giving the oligarchs more and more control over everybody's lives. This is about eugenics and population CONTROL. It's not improvised. And this isn't a conspiracy folks, it's a fact. Event 201. Rockefeller's 2010 Lockstep Scenario. Don't keep quiet and look the other way... TELL THE TRUTH! Your brain needs oxygen. Don't forget to breathe... throw that muzzle away! It will make you sick sooner than you know.

Hey friend!
What a great discussion.
Did you think the papers that Dr. Sanford published in scientific journals were about the Bible, @@Leszek.Rzepecki? Why did the journals publish them?
@@Leszek.Rzepecki: _"Your perspective is bizarre.... we should implicitly believe everything that Sanford says, ..."_
Unlike scientists that still have implicit faith in evolution, Dr. Sanford has stepped back and reevaluated the evidence. What he says makes sense, based on the evidence revealed by science.
*Leszek:* _"But we should disbelieve other accredited scientists, because they don't accept creationism."_
We should reject those who tenaciously hang onto 19th century science regardless of what 21st century science reveals.

It's not my job to correct all your errors. I'm not up on that, though I will mention that Wikipedia says, _"The concept of "Ediacaran Biota" is somewhat artificial as it cannot be defined geographically, stratigraphically, taphonomically, or biologically."_ But you put confidence in it.
*Tim H:* _"... ignores the 5 major mass extinctions and ..."_
There's been one mass extinction. Since your dates are all in error, it's not hard to stretch one event into five.
*Tim H:* _"... how did life go from the original Cambrian families through all those other millions of now extinct species to extant families and species with no evolution?"_
All kinds (which are roughly taxonomic families) were designed and created at once. Minor damaging mutations have resulted in variation within those families. It's not too tough. You assume life keeps getting more complex, but in fact life keeps going extinct. That's why you have all those extinct species. Do you really think extinction helps the case for evolution?
Your flippancy reveals a lack of interest in what actually happened.
Thank you Dr. Tour for assembling a dream team of intellectual apologists.
Fascinating stuff...Thank you!
WOW, first question was the best possible question. Amazing video God bless.
My goodness, it's becoming obvious that our linguistic superlatives are desperately inadequate in describing what God has done and is doing. This is utterly humbling. What a service you guys do for the body of Christ.
Very interesting. Thank you Dr Tour.
This is so awesome!
Excellent interview!
Learn from who knows the Truth. Thanks to you both💜
Thank you, Professor!
Thank you, Dr. Tour! Fascinating as always. And wow, the paper by Gerald Schroeder is awesome, brother!! He even made it to where I could understand it. I'm not a chemist or physicist, only a guy who gave his life to Jesus on the street in New Orleans 38 years ago. But I love science and apologetics, and winning souls to Jesus, and this is very exciting to hear so much to offer those who are seaking skeptics! We have the Answer! Praying for you, and Dr. Sanford!
Thank you for this amazing talk!
This is a great discussion. I am not a young earth creationist, but I am an old earth creationist. My one criticism of Dr. Sanford is that he remarked twice that his decision to be a young earth creationist was a choice to fully submit to the word of God. But since Genesis was not written to be scientifically parsed, if Dr. Sanford were to fully submit to the “wordage” of the Word of God in Genesis, he would be affirming pillars propping up the earth and a flat earth with four corners. One can fully submit to the word of God, and also realize that God was intentionally accommodating himself to an ancient peoples worldview to make himself known as their Creator.
Two warriors.
Wow Dr. James you are awesome
Thanks for the podcast and for your time
Thanks for your scientific work and for sharing this with us!
Just ordered Dr, Sanford's book, looking forward to reading
Hello from Denmark, im a muslim but have alot of respect for dr Tour 🌷
Then I think you are not so far away from the Step to Jesus. :)
God bless you!
@@intedominesperavi6036 Well i do believe in Jesus peace be upon him as a prophet, not as God or Gods offspring.
@@kimabunuh6762 That is exactly the kind step I meant. If you read the Gospels you can see on multiple occasions that Jesus said that he was God, and if that wasn't true, he would be an idiot, or a great liar.
It says in the torah that there is only one God.
In the new testamen alot of sons are mentioned, but they are not Gods offspring, i have read the bible my friend 😊
David is mentioned as being Gods son, doesnt mean he is Gods offspring, God is no human and he does not beget.
@@kimabunuh6762 Jesus also isn't God's offspring, he IS God.
God bless you 🙏
GREAT interview!! Definitely invite John Sanford. for the Adam & Eve interview, especially in light of recent books by Josh Swamidass and William Lane Craig (if you haven’t done so already)!
I was a young Assistant Professor at SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse when John announced development of the gene gun. There are no molecular biologists of our age (I am now 70 and a retired Emeritus Associate Professor) who doesn’t know of John Sanford and his seminal innovation.
Outstanding
I'm rewatching this awesome podcast, I remembered to 👍.
❤✝️🙏✝️⚓✝️❤From 🇦🇺Australia.
That was great! So thought provoking.
Very well said by Dr. Sanford " all this scientific evidence is secondary to the gospel"
No one becomes saved because of science and evidence.
Faith in the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the only way.
Liked it so much I listened to it twice.
Fascinating!
As the carrier of two DIFFERENT homozygous mutations, and remembering all the verses related to the"end" times preceding the second coming; "1/3 of mankind will die, men will be weak," this is a fantastic witness to the veracity of the Word of God!
BTW, the first mutation is present in 1 out of 3 humans!!
Very inciteful discussion of the destructive effect of mutations on viruses.
Wonderful!!!
Love John Sanford
Please have him on again. Would love to see what he have to say about Adam and Eve. This was great!
This is amazing work. There are those that have understood and argued this for decades.. keep up the work so that those who are and have been made reprobate in their thinking might either be awakened by the Holy Spirit through the gospel or their destruction will be to the Glory of God…😮
Thank you for sharing this conversation. For the graph at 16:00 I wonder whether the inclusion of “average Roman (45)” is relevant. For longevity information what is relevant is how long it takes people to die of old age. Changes (cultural or technological) which shift expected lifespan in an actuarial sense are not relevant to genetic fitness and lifespan. I suspect that Romans were not dying of old age at 45yrs old in the same sense that people generally don’t die of old age at 45 today.
Old Romans lived just as long as people do today, yes?
I feel goosebumps. I'm awed ❤❤❤
Simpleton is about right then!
Read the book Contested Bones, it is really good. Thank you, Dr. Tour & Dr. Sanford!
or alternatively, read some actual paleontology.
Thank you for posting.
Please keep up the great work.
There was the Wistar Institute conference on “Mathematical Challenges to the Neo-Darwinian Interpretation of Evolution” (1966). They discussed the tremendous improbability of Darwinian progression.
i hope William lane Craig would talk to John Sanford about adam and eve.
Why? Does Craig not believe the Biblical narrative of Adam and Eve?
@@TheLamboman640 no he is against YEC
it's possible that they'd be worlds apart because it's my opinion that Craig is more filled with himself than what he posits to be from God.
Its about to get real!
That book is the most remarkable publication in existence. When you find out what it does in law and what it can do for your right. It is a blooming miracle.
Also, there was a woman who recently died, Miss Edna Lewis. She was the granddaughter of a slave. They created a colony in Georgia I think? They grew all their own food. Did all their own meat. The average life span was 120 years. She said that it started dropping when the government forced them to inoculate the animals. She died at 96. She looked 60.
oh! John Sanford! You sir are awesome!
I would like to see James Tour and Francis Collins in some sort of chat or debate.
"They don't have answers." Fortunately, we do.
Talk is cheap. Please show your evidence.
@@jimstair6494 seems like the good scientist already did .. did you proof read all his charts and check out his angle ?
Jim Stair It helps if you take your ear plugs and blinders off. He literally just did. Face palm!
Love your channel, God Bless! keep it going, the lost and brain washed needs your wisdom and expertise from you and your expert colleagues.
I was a hardcore atheist for 25 years. I thought the "scientists" actually had answers. Turns out they don't know squat. They told us that the universe was full of life, but there is NO evidence. Looks like we are it. So I have to admit now that intelligent design has to be on the table. It's not a great explanation, but it is one of the theories that must be addressed.
As someone who builds a lot of things(which are basically sharp sticks compared to biology), I find anyone who says everything just randomly made itself to be laughable. If they want to debate who or what made all this, I can understand. But to say it came about randomly is ridiculous.
Science is all about the facts, "faith" is all about 100% gullibility.
So, would it be fair to say you have 100% faith in science?😲
have you thought that maybe christianity is simply starting off from a different place?that is,by acknowledging an apparent reality about us human beings,that we are both rational and emotional.yes,we must try to understand reality the best we can through the data of our five senses,but we must also do so through our ability to love and be loved..so maybe a wholly rational worldview is ignoring the fact that we aren't wholly rational creatures?
@@Leszek.Rzepecki If only what you've stated were true.
Your faith in the infallibility of science is actually rather touching, however naive it may be.
Just like any other aspect of human endeavour, science is every bit as subject to corruption, bias and political expediency; perhaps even more so, given the stakes involved.
Time for a reality check, old boy!
@@Leszek.Rzepecki Are you familiar with the Popperian notion of falsifiability?
If you aren't, I strongly suggest you look into it.
Evolution is a fundamentally unfalsifiable idea.
It doesn't even have enough science in it to qualify as a theory; it's essentially a series of dogmatic assertions, based on a whole raft of a priori assumptions.
I'm not suggesting that the God of the Christian bible is the only alternative, by the way, just that intelligence and purpose being fundamental to nature needn't be dismissed as quackery any longer.
Try the recent work of Michael Denton, for an illustration of what I'm getting at.
I particularly recommend The Fitness of Nature for Mankind, right here on RUclips.
At the very least, it should fill you with a sense of awe and wonder.🤝
@@Leszek.Rzepecki I think I'd rather leave you to your overly confident, highly faith-based, dogmatic certitude.
Im really grateful for people like James Tour and John Sanford for showing me how creationists are all a bunch of liars.
I probably wouldn't be an atheist, if it weren't for people like them.
Please show time stamps for the lies you are suggesting with evidence to prove that they are lied. Your opinion is just your opinion without any supporting evidence. Who was it that said, "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"?
Please have John back soon to continue this. More on Adam and Eve, and science and the Bible.
And I'd love to hear you talk to Jonathan Sarfati about anything!
Dr. Sarfati has done a few really good interviews on a channel called Standing For Truth.
@@RedefineLiving two, I believe. But I'd love to hear what would happen with Dr Tour.
Of Primary Importance To Reasonably Discussing The Scientific Or Historical Nature Of The Contents Of The Bible Is Apprehending An Accurate Translation, Arriving At A Veracious Interpretation, And Comprehending An Intimate Understanding Of It's Conversation And Context. Also, Having A Scientifically And Historically Accurate Worldview Wherewith To Compare It's Contents Is Paramount To The Arrival At A Logical Conclusion.
Dr. James, are you aware of the Event 201, and the Lockstep scenario? Please look into it.
Would you comment on it?
Thank you for your amazing work.
Dr. Tour tends to stay away from politics and conspiracy theories. I'm a biologist and my son is a doctor who calls Covid a bad cold. He pisses his hospital off by refusing to call elderly deaths from the flu or mostly pneumonia Covid. They don't get their money from the Fed if they do not die from Covid. So they have a pathologist call it Covid caused pneumonia. That way they can get the pneumonia deaths back up and still call it a Covid death. At least half the Covid deaths are bogus.
@@MountainFisher I'm glad about your son, he has integrity. Sadly, most people lack any morals and critical capacity. So they go on with this evil satanic anti-Christ circus, repeating what they hear from their leaders, from their TV and social media, because it's easier not to think and not to stand for the Truth, "just be quiet and grab the government check", but that will only worsen the situation, giving the oligarchs more and more control over everybody's lives.
This is about eugenics and population CONTROL. It's not improvised.
And this isn't a conspiracy folks, it's a fact. Event 201. Rockefeller's 2010 Lockstep Scenario.
Don't keep quiet and look the other way... TELL THE TRUTH!
Your brain needs oxygen. Don't forget to breathe... throw that muzzle away! It will make you sick sooner than you know.
Thank you, Dr. Sanford and Dr. Tour for your work.
