what's taking the little bit with the scheme of education and uh... i want to
talk a little bit about science in evolution and we we've heard from a lot
of different people over the last couple of years about what should be taught in
school and what shouldn't and
is sometimes i i watch these shows like that this discovery channel and the
science channel
and i always think like for example the other day they would uh... i was
watching a show with this theoretical physicist meat she okayed aku
japanese guy
unbelievably smart he's from japan he works in the u_s_ now as a theoretical
physicist
incredible the amount of stuff he knows
physics the universe astronomy so on and so forth
and when i'm watching and i'm thinking to myself if you believe in
a literal interpretation of the bible
and or you subscribe to there's no such thing as evolution and the earth is five
thousand years old
you basically are watching this show under the assumption that
literally everything that's being said
is made up
the nl i i i tried the thing is there some inbetween where you can't believe
what's being said on this show and at the same time believe
a literal interpretation of the bible and that the earth is five thousand
years old i don't think that there is any way
well people find a way to do that
to believe in both
but what would the argument be how do you believe in both the peers as five
thousand years old
and that is billion years old you know people do this with every aspect of the
bible did
p what different your pretensions of things they had diplomat but i'm saying
if you have a literal interpretation of the bible
well that's the definition of interpretation the your interpretation
ok runners-up but living in example so
the moon was in the area to some planes show they say the moon was created
fifteen to twenty billion years ago we think it could happen when an asteroid
hit the earth so hard
they did not believe some bunch of matter
and that matter because of gravity became the moon and it circled around
the earth
there is no way you could believe that there's any truth to that if you also
believe that the earth is only five thousand years old and believe of
literal interpretation of the bible there's just no way another example is
talking about the life cycle of stars and you know stars go through this long
process of birth
the being assigned to being a red giant to being a white dwarf
it takes a billions of years right the process that takes billions of years
away second the earth is only five thousand years old there is just uh... i
don't see any way that you can
in that you could not
say
that you could believe what's been presented in these shows and at the same
time subscribe to that there's no evolution
intelligent design
creationism earth is five thousand years old idea just don't see it and to me it
it would almost be m
ha style if i really believe the earth whether with five thousand years old
ninety percent of the programming on the science channel to me would be an attack
on what i believe
i don't know must be bit it must be wierd to be constantly thinking that
every time you watch a show that is in any way involving scientists an
astronomy right for you know
okay personally
okay i'm white r nine austin prepared by their parents
when i hear someone say their first create five thousand years ago or i see
it on t_v_ which i'd which we do we don't really now but i am i don't get
angry and upset i'm like well that's fine thing that evidence that that's not
the case so you're saying these people might say the same thing hey that's fine
right if they know you think ok well that's your theory
this is my theory
they may have happened your way
it might it may have happened my way bullet must create a level of paranoia
of just
someone saying well it's amazing the t_v_ channels are just filled with
misinformation science and billions of years wow this is this is crazy and we
know figures countless people referral fits about this in
it being taught to people in school in beaufort town scripts you know had
guests on
baba block for works more on the same lines is these uh...
i recently also came across
the channel called the inspirational channel
and are you familiar with joel osteen louis now ok joelosteen is pastor
preacher i don't know what you want column he's the senior pastor at
lakewood church in houston texas in this is literally as far as i know the church
was with the biggest ministry
in the world
they reach over seven million broadcast viewers
weekly in the u_s_ and millions more in over a hundred countries around the
world
this is a guy who
he's not really crazy in terms of being one of these hateful preachers
but he does strike me as being kind of a snake oil salesmen type of guy
if you see any has that bizarre look in his eyes the vocal a lot of the
televangelist have
he has the slicked hair on the shiny suits
on t_v_ those show
first of all the amount of production that goes into the sermons that he gets
he had cameras on cranes it's literally a stadium dot there and it's one of
these unbelievable mega churches inbetween segments they try to sell you
his books they try to sell used c_d_s
what is this that is on at don't even know how their getting this programming
on t_v_ under some of these channels and albeit they are these channels that are
kind of higher up in the count you know in the two and three hundred
not that many people get them
they're kinda specialize channels
it is amazing to me that they are able to just go on there
just sell c_d_'s of this guy talking about leading of the good life and so on
and so forth and he's actually received some criticism from the evangelical
community because in in two thousand five eden appearance on larry king he
was accused of not affirming that jesus christ is the only way a person can
wreak havoc
i actually found the club
and it's true he says
in not so many words that he's not going to judge anybody but at the same time
you says you know i believe that what i'm preaching is the truth
it's fascinating how he avoids and he's a pretty he could almost be
a politician
with the best of them in the way that he avoids answering let's take a listen
