More high arctic fossil finds speak of the youth of
the fossils, and we dive into an extended play
mailbag, responding to a boatload of viewer
comments and questions. This, is Genesis Week.
[music]
Welcome! To this episode of Genesis Week, the
weekly program of creationary commentary on news,
views and events pertaining to the origins
controversy, made possible by the supporters of
CORE Ottawa, Citizens for Origins Research and
Education, and of course, carried on the
Christianima network - christianima.com - Christian
cinema at its finest. Excellence in pirate
broadcasting, we continue to bring you the
information the anticreationists don't want you to
see or hear, and giving glory to our Creator while
doing it. The Bible does not say "Be ye transformed
by the removal of your mind," rather we here at
Genesis Week believe your brain was intelligently
designed, and God wants you to use it. Remember if
you get lost in cyberspace, you can just punch in
wazooloo.com or genesisweek.com and you can find
us, and also subscribe to our youtube channel to

with our guests. I'm your host, Ian Juby
I had a PILE of viewers write in about a fun fossil
find from the Canadian High Arctic. The Canadian
Museum of Nature launched an expedition to
Ellesmere Island, where they found a fossil CAMEL.
Not just any camel, but a giant camel - some 30%
larger than modern camels, or probably around 10
feet tall. While this may be surprising to many
people, it's not surprising to you, because you
watch this show and we've discussed it all before
on this show! Gigantic animals in the fossil record
is common, and in fact my good buddy Joe Taylor
excavated a fossil camel in west Texas that he
estimated was about 19 feet tall. We find fossil
armadillos six feet long, dragonflies with 1 meter
or three foot wingspans, moose standing around 12
feet tall at the shoulders, and plants of enormous
sizes. Plants like the club moss, which today might
grow to maybe - maybe 16 inches tall here in
Ontario, we find the same plant in the fossil
record with a trunk a meter in diameter and up to
120 feet - 35 meters, tall! This fossil camel, and
pretty much all fossil life, shows we have been
de-evolving; we've lost something. We've lost
size and stature.
Of course, most people associate Camels with the
Sahara Dessert, not the Canadian North Pole! But if
you'll recall from our "Breaking the ice" episode,
though the Canadian Arctic may be a white winter
wasteland right now, we find buried in the ice and
mud a wild array of animals: Mammoths and
Mastodons, horses, rhinocerus, lion, leapoard,
bear, tiger, reindeer, giant beaver, musk sheep,
musk ox, donkey, and a wack of other animals that
do not live in the Artic today. Now add ANOTHER
camel to that list, as camels had been found in the
High Arctic before. Mike Oard contrasted
the variety of animals found in the High Arctic:
You'll remember a couple of episodes back, we went
into a number of examples of soft tissues, and even
living organisms being found in the fossil record.
Well, this camel provided still yet another
example, as collagen fibers were found in these
camel bones. It all speaks of the youthfulness of
the fossils. The Camel fossil hasn't been dated
with carbon 14, as they've assigned it an age of
some 3-1/2 million years old. And I predict that if
they ran carbon 14 tests on those bones, they would
be found to have LOTS of carbon 14 still in it, and
a radiocarbon age that'll be like, 1/100th of the
assigned age of 3-1/2 million years old. We're told
the Greenland ice sheet represents at least 100,000
years of accumulated snow and ice - which would be
a problem for the Biblical age for the earth of a
mere 6,000 years old. Yet many of those fossils
found in the High Arctic return carbon 14 dates of
a mere 4 to 5,000 years old. Are we to believe that
the High Arctic had an animal population as diverse
as the Serengeti - The High Arctic of Canada,
Alaska and Siberia, yet Greenland was somehow
buried under a kilometer of ICE?
Again, it all just points to the ages assigned to
the Greenland ice sheet being quite young, and
everything about these fossils speaks of youth.
Thank you to all of you who have watched the show.
Because Genesis Week is still quite new on the air
waves, we don't have solid numbers on viewership
yet, but based on the feedback we got, the
viewership is, apparently, surprisingly high. For
me personally, I was not expecting to see the
responses we've gotten for at least a year or two
down the road. Instead, youse guys (as we say in
Canada) have blown me away with your response.
Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to
write in - I wish I could read every single email
or repeat every comment I've gotten, but alas I
just cannot. We appreciate those of you who have
taken the time to uphold myself and the show in
prayer as well, as that is needed. I hate to say
it, but we need your financial support as well. I
don't like to bring it up, but the reality is that
television is expensive! Any way you cut it. This
program has a huge outreach, and we are continually
getting new viewers tuning in. While we can offer a
tax-deductable receipt to Canadians, as CORE Ottawa
sponsors the show, we cannot offer anyone else a
tax deduction yet - we are in the process of
setting up a 501c3 in the US, but that could take
up to a year before that gets into place. If you've
appreciated the show, please consider financially
supporting it. We operate much like PBS, as we are
viewer supported. We have a couple of sponsors
which does help, but you, our viewers are our main
support. And please don't underestimate what a
simple donation of ten dollars can do.If only a few
thousand of our viewers each gave ten dollars, then
we wind up funding the entire season really
quickly, though those who have been so kind to
donate a hundred and even a thousand dollars have
been the mainstay of keeping the show on the air.
You can help support the show donating to CORE
Ottawa, or I know people had asked how you could
just simply send a gift on line. The details are
here and at the end of the show, and thank you for
your support - not just financially, but in prayer,
and in watching. We know there's a lot of
competition out there for your viewership, so we
certainly appreciate that you chose to
watch Genesis Week.
Speaking of our sponsors, we'll be right back after
this short break with an extended mailbag as we try
to wade through the backlog of viewer comments
and questions.
This show sponsored in part by Canada's first
permanent Creation Museum, in the heart of
Alberta's dinosaur beds, the Big Valley Creation
Science Museum. bvcsm.com
And by Genesis Park.com where you can pre-order
your own beautiful hard covered copy of the
Chronicles of Dinosauria, the history and mystery
of dinosaurs and man.

Funny, fast and furious! Ian's CrEvo Rants cover a
multitude of topics in an easy to understand,
comical way. Complicated subject that normally make
your brain hurt, hurt a lot less when
Ian explains them...
while wearing his anti-government mind reading
equipment. Have questions about Carbon 14 dating?
Natural selection, thermodynamics, or...
what on earth is he doing there?
Three volumes of rants on DVD, take your pick for
$15 each plus S&H or order all three as a package
and save yourself ten bucks! Order on line today
at Ian's bookstore.

HHmmmmmm.....

Because we've gone a couple of weeks without a
mailbag, I thought I'd do an extended play version
of viewer feedback this week - again, thanks to all
of you who took the time to write in - especially
to the person who anonymously sent me the
pre-programmed killer robot armed with
anti-personal missiles; he missed, but sure made a
mess of my kitchen!
You'll recall several weeks back Oren from Colorado
wrote in, challenging those who claim that
dinosaurs and humans never lived at the same time
to "prove it!" Well Oren, I'm sad to say I did not
get a single attempt by anyone to prove that
dinosaurs and humans never lived at the same time.
I will, however, go into detail in a special
episode of Genesis Week on the astonishing evidence
that dinosaurs and humans most certainly DID live
at the same time.
In our "Toad you so" episode, we talked about the
incredible number of finds of not only soft tissues
such as bone marrow, blood vessels and blood cells
in dinosaur bones. We then went on to discover
living bacteria and even living toads in rocks
allegedly 400 million years old and older! We were
overwhelmed with comments from that episode, both
interest and criticism.
YouTube Dkundzinsh wrote in:
Don wrote in from Ontario:
Excellent question Don - in Northern Ontario,
around the south shores of Hudson's bay for
example, where the frogs and toads hibernate of
course for many months during the winter. They bury
themselves in fairly shallow areas which do stoop
down well below freezing temperatures and they
survive just fine. Furthermore, there was much,
much more to the subject of torpid toads that I
didn't get in to - I mean, I only provided a couple
of examples, there were many, many more reports. Of
interest to your question was another one of the
reports by Lindsey Williams, writing in 1980 of his
experiences and observations as Chaplain to the
Alaskan pipeline construction crews in the 1970's.
He wrote:
So this was a recent report - only from the 70's,
of a phenomena that has been seen apparently all
over the world. I actually did some study on the
permafrost depths on the North Shore of Alaska
where this report came from, and the permafrost can
go down hundreds of feet or more, then thaw out in
the summer time - so obviously the frog was frozen
pretty good, and from the description of the depth
from where it was dug, it was probably there from
the time of Noah's flood.
Several skeptics wrote in with some pretty
consistent, albeit ridiculous criticisms. Several
skeptics wrote in, as well as some comments about
the show on some blogs saying that I provided no
references to scientific literature for the reports
of soft tissues in fossils and living organisms.
Ummm....I don't know what show you were watching,
but the references were right on the screen - lots
and lots of them. The show is uploaded to YouTube
the day after it airs on television, so you can go
and look see for yourself, and in fact, I even
provide all the references I use in the show, in
the description of the video on youtube,
complete with hyperlinks.
Other skeptics chimed in about how Dr. Mary
Schweitzer's find of blood vessels and blood cells
in a T-rex bone was just modern slime coating the
inside of fossilized blood vessels. Well actually,
Dr. Schweitzer herself had already addressed this
and falsified it YEARS ago - I mentioned this in
one of my past newsletters. If the soft, stretchy
blood vessels were actually modern day slime that
had grown inside fossil blood vessels, then the
slime would be more thicker at the bottom of the
tube than the top. And you wouldn't expect to be
able to take tweezers, squeeze these tubes like a
tube of toothpaste, and have red globs come out
that suuuurrre look like red blood cells!
But let's give the skeptics that argument and say
that Schweitzer was wrong - excellent! How do you
respond to the many other reports of dinosaur MEAT,
blood cells and soft, stretchy tissues? Reports
which date back to 1923 and as recently as last
month, with the report coming out from the Creation
Research Society's iDINO project finding the same
things in a Triceratops horn. And let's ignore all
that - I'm quite certain that if we take one of
those living toads that was released from solid
rock allegedly 400 million years old - 5 times the
alleged age of the dinosaurs, I'm pretty certain
that if we cut open those living toads, we would
find blood, blood vessels and soft tissues like
meat. I'm pretty certain. I couldn't help but
notice that, except for one rude skeptic on the
Genesis Week facebook page, no one lifted a finger
to attempt to address the finding of LIVING
organisms in allegedly old rocks. You know, living
organisms like bacteria, toads, frogs and clams -
all still alive in Ordovician rocks alleged to be
older than 400 million years old. The only comment
we received was from one rude skeptic who promptly
got banned from our facebook page, criticizing
people for believing the reports cause they were
from the 1800's. Ya, why would anybody believe
anything from the 1800's - they knew nothing about
science, right?
As predicted, we got a boatload of viewer feedback
on our two episodes examining the dark
side of Darwin.
Responding to the critics on YouTube,
warblerito wrote in:
Dishonesty my foot! Even Richard Dawkins didn't
make the false claim you're making now! He knew
better, and even acknowledged the connection - as
much as he didn't like it.
TrollingWithReason also chimed in along the
same lines:
It's interesting you guys bring this up: As I
stated in the show, anybody can perform wicked
deeds - but that person would have a hard time
justifying their murderous activity in the name of
Christ, seeing as how Christ cited the law which
states "thou shalt not ***" and if someone hits
you, turn the other cheek. As for Catholic priests
raping little boys, what I find interesting here is
the embellishment that has gone on over this
scandal. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops
studied the abuse and concluded that 10,667 young
people were sexually MISTREATED - not necessarily
physically molested or ***, between 1950 and
2002. That's 52 years of data. In 2004 the US
department of education commissioned a study
examining PHYSICAL *** abuse by public school
employees between 1991 and 2000 - a mere 9 years.
The study revealed a staggering 290,000 students
experienced some sort of PHYSCIAL *** abuse -
and 40 percent of the abusers were FEMALE. So just
the FEMALE *** abusers in the public schools
alone, in ONE year, commit more acts of ***
abuse than 52 years of abuse by all
Catholic priests, combined.
Of course you understand I condemn such behaviour,
but clearly faith inhibits this behaviour, whereas
in the Public schools GOD is not allowed, evolution
is taught as fact, and you are not even allowed to
question evolution. NO ONE is claiming that Jesus
Christ would approve of molesting and raping
children. You reap what you sow.
Appeals to consequence most certainly. The
consequences of belief in evolution - so the
question arises, is evolution true or not. We are
reaping what we have sown - and one of those
consequences we are seeing, as we discussed and
showed in the program, is that proper scientific
study which shows that evolution is invalid,
scientifically, has been hindered by evolutionary
theory.
It certainly was not hand-waving; you can read
Hitler's table talk for yourself, as the book has
been translated and is available freely on the web.
He was clear on his views of evolutionism, which he
called "science," and you can read
specific quotes like:
Hitler's hypocrisies were evident, and he was
forward about his specific tactics.
Peter added to this, writing in from an undisclosed
location in Europe:
The point being, Jesus warned us to judge by the
fruit. You cannot criticize these various people
for their attrocities, as they were simply
following the mantra of evolution. They were
consistent with what they believed. The ***
abusers and those who murdered in the name of
Christ were *not* consistent with the faith they
claimed to hold. But Jesus warned us against asking
about the evils of others.
Jesus warned us repeatedly of judgment to come -
forget about what others have done, YOU have sinned
and fallen short of the glory of God. This isn't
some competition to see who's the most holiest,
because you will not be judged compared to others,
you will be judged by God's standard. Look at the
ten commandments! Have you ever lied? You just fell
short of God's commandment. Have you ALWAYS held
your parents in honor? No? uh oh, that's another
one. Have you ever used God's name or the name of
Jesus in vain? As a swear word? Uh oh - that's a
biggee. I don't care how righteous you appear to be
to people, congratulations, you have fallen short
of God's standard, and you are worthy of God's
judgment. You will not be allowed into the new
heaven, and new earth, and there is only one other
place to inherit: The lake of fire which was never
intended for people, but for Satan and his fallen
angels. That is why Jesus came, lived a perfect,
sinless life, and took the wrath of God in your
place - but you need to repent, which means to turn
from your sinful ways and live your life in place
of Christ, who died for you. You no longer own
yourself anymore, but you now belong to Christ.
Jesus called this being "born again" and it's
simple - you believe that Jesus Christ is the son
of God and confess this publically, giving your
life and living your life for Him. Why don't you
do that today?
