Well, good morning. Sure. It's good to see everyone. Always such a blessing to be here. It almost brings me tears. The warm welcome and just the fellowship of the saints. So praise God. This morning, in case you want to put your finger in it a little ahead of time because it's not in the bulletin, we're going to be reading and studying with a text from Genesis chapter seven verses one through 12. But first, I just wanted to do a little housekeeping here. You know, it's been a long hot dry summer so far, hasn't it? And a little smoky, a little smoky here and there. We've had quite an adventure. Shelly and me, we put her dad to rest earlier last month, later last month, and then turned to that was over in Idaho, and he was 90 years old. So he's home with the Lord. So praise God for that. Need prayer for the his widow and the family members. And then we were we got we were only home for a couple days, and then we blasted off for an adventure with Rob and Vicky and over in Montana and a little Smokey over there as well. But Jim and Marlene joined us. We were all in a little cabin over there and we got to film four episodes of Be Not Deceived. So that was a highlight. We had prayer and praise and worship time and met family and friends, two different sets of cousins over there. And we got there fast and took it slow, sort of. I think Rob missed his calling as a NASCAR driver. Yeah. He would be he'd be right at home in bumper to bumper to bumper traffic at about a 160 miles an hour, I think. But anyway, we got to experience his turbo a few times. And then coming into Darby, Rob was playing tour guide until he noticed a bubble gum machine behind him. And so, you know, pulled over for the friendly local sheriff and then he made introductions with with the officer and it turned out that the whole town knows Vicky's cousin who used to be a sheriff. So it just goes to show that it's not what you know, it's who you know. Right? And praise God, it's so it is with our spiritual lives. And but what would life be without a little adventure? So we got to meet Vicky's cousins, was a real blessing. So here's a little shout out to John and Don and Dave and Heidi. If you're watching, we're so glad that we're all a part of the family of God. And I mentioned the four episodes we recorded. So is it a doubleheader two days back to back? So you guys be watching for that. I don't know. Vicky's probably been busy in post production. But that was a theme around America at 02:50, Christian nationalism and our blessed hope in heaven, not on earth. So encourage you to tune in for that. It was a barn burner and I'm sure there's enough controversy for me to lose a few more friends. So not hard to do these days, seems like. I was actually gonna preach on that today because it's always been a theme near and dear to my heart if you've read my articles and the the Bree and Call newsletter in the past. And that was kind of the basis for review because of our this this special anniversary of our nation's nation's nation's independence. So if you wanna find out what Pat Robertson falsely taught and prophesied about The United States, you better tune in and watch all four parts. And if you know want to know what true patriotism is and God's plan for America, What is if it's really all that people think it is, then follow the series to the end of part four. And I I think you'll be blessed. So some of you already know a little bit about my background, but for those who aren't familiar, just a couple of highlights. I'm not an ordained minister that I was called to shepherd a home church in our home for about two years during COVID. And over the past twenty years going on 25, I've taught through books and portions of the Old Testament and the New Testament. So fortunately, I came to saving faith at age nine in a little community church and on the Oregon Coast. And so I've got a special heart for VBS, although the folks who volunteer for that. It's a it's a real ministry and it does it does bring children into the kingdom. So I'm a former evolutionist. Even though I was 11 years old, I was kind of a brainiac in the class. And so when they introduced the fifth grade social studies book and cracked it open and there was doctor Richard Leakey proclaiming about his findings with skeleton named Lucy, of course, I thought, trust the science. Right? I know better now. But it was about that time when I began asking questions at home and my mother started subscribing to some creation science material from the Institute for Creation Research, founded by doctor Henry Morris who was also one of the founders of the college I attended, Christian Heritage College in San Diego, now called San Diego Christian College. It's on the campus of Shadow Mountain Community Church where David Jeremiah pastors. He was my pastor for four years. So I didn't know it at the time, but I was blessed to rub shoulders or be in the proximity of a lot of men that I learned from and respect. Doctor Henry Morris, doctor David Jeremiah, Duane Gish, even Ken Ham was at the ICR Building after I graduated with my degree in business. I almost minored in Bible, but began working for a small publishing company there called Master Books, and really got my teeth sunk in to the creation science movement. And so I've got a little show and tell for you. During the time I was there, I was wore a number of hats. It was a small company. So I was glad to art direct this book, Noah's Ark and the Lost World. And then I also wrote this on the plane on the way to Hong Kong, believe it not. What really happened to the dinosaurs? And a friend of mine over in Hong Kong illustrated that. So I'll put those on the back there if you're interested. And then so professionally, I've been involved in Christian publishing almost forty years, and but I I I missed being out of the creation science movement for a very long long time. And then after we moved back to Oregon after a long detour, I believe it was my pastor friend Kevin Lee that introduced me to this the author of this book, doctor Walt Brown. And you've heard me mention this book, it's now in print, so praise God for that. The ninth edition of In the Beginning, compelling evidence for creation of the flood is off the press and it's available at Amazon, it's available at Creation Science Center in Arizona. It's available through a number of different local local ministries. So I'll also put that on the back for you to look at. And we're gonna be referring that throughout our message today. Alright. Well, that's enough about me. Let's pray and and then open with our text. Father in heaven, we do love you. We thank you. We praise you. You're such a great and awesome God. You're such a loving savior. You are an amazing creator. Thank you for giving us life and health and strength, our homes and our families, all that you've supplied. Lord, there's truly none without with an excuse for not believing and receiving your gift of creation to us that testifies of you and glorifies our creator and savior, Jesus Christ. So this morning, we just ask that you would open our hearts and minds that we might hear and receive your word that and Lord that you'll just enable me to communicate that we might have better understanding from the scriptures and from true science, Lord, that we might be better ambassadors for you and be able to reach a lost and dying world with the hope that we have, and that there really is supporting evidence, very strong evidence for your creation. And so we ask these things in your precious name. Amen. Alright. Let's stand and read Genesis chapter seven verses one through 12. Alright. Did did I give you the title? The fountains of the great deep and the windows of heaven. Did the waters of the flood come from above or below? We're gonna find out. Chapter seven verse one. And the Lord said unto Noah, come then and all thy house into the ark for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. If every clean beast, thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female and of beasts that are not cleaned by two, the male and his female. Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female to keep seed alive upon the face of the earth. For yet seven days and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights. And every living thing, every living substance that I have made, will I destroy from off of the face of the earth. And Noah did according unto all that the Lord commanded him. And Noah was 600 years old when the flood of the waters was upon the earth. And Noah went in and his sons and his wife and his son's wives with him and to the ark because of the waters of the flood. Of clean beasts and of the beasts that are not clean and the fowls and of everything that creepeth upon the earth. There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female as God had commanded Noah. And it came to pass after seven days at the waters of the flood were upon the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day where all the fountains of the great deep broken up and the windows of heaven were open. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. God, again, we ask you to bless the reading of your word, bless it to our hearts and minds for understanding, and we give you all the praise for these things in Jesus name. Amen. You may be seated. Okay. As usual, I've come with far too many notes and handouts and show and tell, I think I mentioned before that when I was about when I was first learning about creation science, I entered my my mother's encouragement. I entered my first writing contest at seventh grade and sent off an article that I wrote about sunspots and and God's creation and got a letter a few weeks back or a few weeks afterward and announcing that I had won second place. And the letters almost sounded apologetic. It says, well, we couldn't award you first place because you were over the word limit. So nothing's changed. I'm still over the word limit. Alright. So I thought we'd begin with a little pop quiz since we just read that passage. How many animals did Moses take on the ark? Somebody's paying attention. Moses wasn't alive in the days of Noah. So alright. And another fun fact is Noah didn't even have to round the animals up, did he? The Lord brought them to him. That's a good thing because I don't think he had an ATV, you know. Would have taken a little while. So today there's millions of species in the animal kingdom, of course. So how did everything fit? Just to do a little review here before we get into the nitty gritty. So consider the exclusions, marine animals, invertebrates, insects, and plants didn't have to go on board. And so they could survive outside the ark, right? So they weren't necessary to preserve inside. So in total, Noah likely brought about 6,700 to 6,800 individual kinds of animals into the ark. So that's based on the biblical model of kinds, which, you know, there's dog kind and there's cat kind. And so today we have over 200 dog species from one dog kind. So that's just an example of how Noah could be so consolidated. So there's plenty room for all of the creatures that God brought to Noah. Some people ask about the dinosaurs. Well, yeah, amphibians were there, frogs and toads, reptiles around the arc, including snakes and even dinosaurs. So how do they fit? You know, you've got fossils of some sauropods like our Argentinosaurus reached lengths of up to a 130 feet and weighed a 111 tons. Right? That's almost a quarter of a million pounds. Can you believe that? That's like stacking five full fire engines or five full garbage trucks all all on one scale, massive. So the obvious answer is you take them when they're young. You don't take them full grown. Right? But imagine that enormous living sauropod weighing so much. What kind of biblical creature does that remind us of? Job chapter 40, we find a creature named Behemoth, don't we? And that's found in verses 15 through 24. Look now at behemoth, which I made along with you. He eats grass like an ox. See now his strength is in his hips and his power is in his stomach muscles. He moves his tail like a cedar. The sinews of his thighs are tightly knit. His bones are like beams of bronze, his ribs like bars of iron. And I don't think that's an exaggeration. He is the first of the ways of God, so he is the the pre eminent, most impressive, most grand, example of creatures declaring the glory and power of God. And, it says that surely the mountains yield food for him and all the beasts of the field, play there. He lies under the lotus trees in a covert of reeds and marsh. So kinda like Jurassic Park, you kinda get that idea. Right? Indeed, the river may rage, yet he is not disturbed. He is confident though the Jordan the Jordan gushes into his mouth. So if you're if you're a fan of the Schofield Bible or if you've got one, I'm sure a few of us us do in this room. Bless your hearts, you might and then your margin notes, it's gonna tell you that Behemoth was likely an elephant or a rhinoceros. Can anybody tell me what's wrong with that picture? When was the last time you heard of a tall cedar tree described as an elephant's tail or a rhinoceros tail? Right? Those are barely big enough to, you know, keep the flies away from their their posterior. So anyway, that raises a question. Why did Scofield think that? And why did other believers of the time who were sound expositors in many ways, why did they believe that dinosaurs could not have coexisted with man? Well, that's because it was growing increasingly common to believe in in the gap theory and and to try to compromise and make the bible fit into science rather than explain science in light of the bible. And so you've got all these fossils that are being found in the earth. And so they had an had to have an explanation for them. They didn't want to be on the the outs with science. They wanted to appear to be intellectual. And so we had the gap theory developed, and then we had theistic evolution come after that. So just ways of explaining, trying to explain dinosaurs without the benefit of understanding God's creation and what happened. So the gap theory, of course, puts a huge gap. In Genesis chapter one verse one and two, where they insert an entire creation that got destroyed. It's called the ruin reconstruction theory. And it's not necessarily a heretical belief, but to me it's it's very tragic that, a lot of good men, a lot of great men, gave credence to that theory. Even Scofield is one, Spurgeon is another. Let's see, others that we might know Chuck Missler and even Chuck Smith gave some gave a hat tip to that theory. So but it all comes from kind of the place where we wanna help God out. Right? Sometimes we we do that in our own lives. We know we see in the old testament and the new testament a lot of examples of trying to help God out. Abraham, what did he do? Right? He did a lot. He had a a child with Hagar thinking it would fulfill God's promise of descendants. And Moses, he killed an Egyptian, right, to defend the Hebrew, believing he was acting on God's behalf. Saul, what did he do? He offered sacrifices instead of waiting for Samuel. Right? And took matters into his own hands. And of course, Aaron, probably one of the most egregious examples. When Moses was on the mount receiving the 10 commandments, the Israelites demanded that he give them a God. And so he collected their jewelry, cast it in a furnace, and out popped a golden calf that they worshiped. He built an altar and they actually gave it credit and glory for their deliverance, which is incredible. But I don't suppose Christians would ever tolerate that today, would they? They would never ask for a new leader who constantly promotes and praises golden statues of himself, would they? So these actions all led to complications and consequences. And Christians still compromise today, of course, the the whole experience with a COVID jab. Countless Christians also believe in heretical things and doctrines of demons. I mentioned theistic evolution, which believe it or not, Christian schools and universities teach. It's it it is exceedingly grievous that that is the case. And believe it or not, there's only a handful of Christian colleges that you can send your children or grandchildren to that actually teach a young earth creationist view of scripture. So what's the what's the the lesson we can learn? If we can't even fix and clean up the church, how are we ever gonna fix and clean up the world? We simply can't do it. And so after we did the podcast up in Montana, the four part podcast, originally I was going to talk on that because I still think it's a topic of concern. It's always been on my heart and mind where where is our hope? Where is our true home? Of course, that's in heaven. We're just pilgrims on this earth. We're just passing through. We're sojourners. But I think pastor Rick keeps you guys all pretty on your tiptoes with regard to those aspects. So my heart was to speak on creation because it's a fascinating topic and it builds up our faith, it strengthens our faith. There's absolutely nothing that we as believers have to be fearful of. There's no new evidence from archaeology. There's no new evidence from science. There's no new evidence from history or any field of study that we have to be fearful of because we know the truth and the truth has set us free. Amen. The other reason that so many great men, theologians, scholars, pastors, bible teachers, unfortunately believed or or gave room for some of these theories that are not in according according to God's word is they didn't have Walt Brown's book in the beginning. I'm so grateful for him. He's gone home to be with the Lord last year, but he's left behind a tremendous legacy. So And it's just been a real delight to be a part of his ongoing ministry through his his book. So I brought a little show and tell with me today. As part of the editorial and production team, I got to make a few neat graphics that are in the book. This one is a picture of Grand Lake and Hopi Lake, which I'll mention here in a moment. These are the ancient post flood lakes that eventually formed the Grand Canyon. And so Walt has wonderfully illustrated and demonstrated, solved the mystery of the Grand Canyon. And we'll talk about a few of those details, but so I'll pass that around. You can look at it. I won't mind if you look at it during this during the message. And then the other kind of signature illustration that I had a hand in was this picture of the fountains of the Great Deep bursting forth. So this was kind of a group collaboration, but it depicts the rupture, the crack that went around the globe, raced around the globe at three miles a second. So in two hours, the whole earth was almost exploding with the fountains of the great deep. And even as we'll see sending material into into space and impacting the moon, Mars, and other bodies. So there's one more chart that is fascinating, I'll just reference and there's two copies that can go around. This is a genealogy from Adam to Joseph, but it also gives what I believe to be the most accurate date for the time of creation, the date of creation and the date of Noah's flood. So the Noah's flood you'll see is the red bar right in the middle there. And it's kind of three charts in one. Up on the right hand corner, it shows the errors in the Masoretic text that have caused a lot of confusion in the creation community in particular with regard to dating. And it also in the lower right corner shows the the incredible decrease in lifespan that Walt Brown explains as well as part of his hydroplate theory. So I'm gonna hang on to this one for reference, and then these can go out. And when when we're done, we can those will be out on the back table after after service to look at. So one important thing to remember is that creationists and evolutionists both have the same physical evidence. Right? We just don't reach the same conclusions. We look at the same rocks, we look at the same fossils, but we all start with the pre a presupposition. And so as Ken Ham has famously written in his book, The Lie Evolution, it is not a matter of whether one is biased or not, it's just really a question of which bias is the best bias with which to be biased by. So we don't have time to explore a tremendous amount of those evidences, but let's look at just a couple. I wanna mention radiometric dating because that is a field that we all we hear a lot about and allegedly proving the ancient date or ancient time frame of earth or fossils or rocks. So carbon dating and radioactive dating are not only based in wrong biases, but in bad assumptions. The results, it results in wildly incorrect results as creationist Mike riddle reports. Here are a couple of examples. In 1886, a rock formed at Mount Saint Helens. We know when that happened. Right? 05/18/1980. It yielded a radiometric age of 350,000 years. How about that? Trust the science. And in 1954, a rock formed by lava flows at mount at a mountain in New Zealand, I'm not gonna try to pronounce the name, yielded a radiometric age of 3,500,000 years. Brand new rock fresh from the lava flows in 1954. And at the top of the Grand Canyon, rocks from a recent lava flow formed less than 1,000 years ago, yielded the same age as volcanic rocks deep below the canyon wall, which they dated at 1,143,000,000 years. How in the world they believe they can get accuracy to three decimal points? I have no idea. But the point is that this so called science of radiometric dating incorrectly dates new material as millions or more than either millions or billions of years old. So how can it be trusted with any real reliability? The the truth is it can't, but they keep twisting the knobs and dials until they come up with the model that they think fits. You've probably heard that the about circular reasoning. So that's using the rocks to date the fossils and the fossils to date the rocks. That's literally what they do in the science laboratory, the so called science laboratory. Alright. So let's jump into the heart of Walt's book, which is really describing the hydroplate theory. Now this is a competing model to a model you might have heard called plate tectonics. It's also a competing model to what other creation organizations promote as CPT, which is catastrophic plate tectonics. But before we go there, I'd like to go to Genesis chapter one. And if you got a marker and a pen, you might want to make a note or underline or highlight. Genesis chapter one one through 20. So there's a a word that's gonna jump out at you and it's either gonna be translated as firmament in your bible or it's gonna be translated expanse. And we're gonna see nine occurrences of this word. The Hebrew word is rakia, r a q I a. Alright? And we're going to explain that in just a minute. Actually, I'll explain it right here. In Strong's Concordance, the entry has two definitions. The first definition refers to an extended surface that is solid. Alright. Keep that in mind. Rachia, called the expanse or the heavens is actually a solid. And the second definition refers to the firmament or the vault of heaven. Now the Hebrews, ancient Hebrews believe that the vault of heaven supported waters above. Now that has led to a couple of great misunderstandings. We'll come to the canopy theory, that's one of them. And they're also the flat earth theory. It hasn't it's just been resurrected recently and you know of all the controversy and the trouble that that has caused even in in this church body. But it's based on an erroneous interpretation of Rakia that the Hebrews then applied to their cosmology model. And so that has affected us even in this modern time. But keep in mind, it either means that it's a solid like pan hammered out, stretched out, pounded out, or it refers to the expanse of the heavens. So, in Genesis chapter one verse 20, or excuse me. One chapter one verse six, I'm sorry. Chapter one verse six. Then God said, let there be a firmament, an expanse, in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. So you can underline or or highlight firmament or expanse. And note that it divides waters from the waters. Thus God made the firmament and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters that were above the firmament and it was so. And then God said, let the waters oh, and God called the firmament heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day. So right there we've got five occurrences of firmament or expanse, which is Hebrew Rachia. And then in verse nine, we see God said, let the waters under the heavens be gathered on together in one place and let the dry land appear and it was so. And God called the dry land earth and the gathering together of the waters he called seas. And God saw that it was good. Then God said, let the earth bring forth grass and the herb that yields seed and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself on the earth and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind and the tree that yields fruit whose seed is in itself according to its kind and God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the third day. Okay, pay attention here verse 14, then God said, let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens. Okay, pay attention to that phrase. The firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night and let them be for signs and seasons and for days and years and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth and it was so. Then God made two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also just just little afterthought made the stars to give light on the earth and it was so. Now he knows them all by name. It wasn't an afterthought, but it's so understated in the text that it's just it's just a little humorous that it's so understated because it's awesome. It's it's it's so powerful. We can't even comprehend. Verse 16, then God, okay, made the two great lights. Made the stars also verse 17. God set them in the firmament where of the heavens to give light on the earth and to rule over the day and over the night and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the fourth day. Then God said, let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens. Alright, so nine occurrences, five of them describe a firmament as a solid, and four of them describe a firmament of the heavens. So but what we've all grown up learning and hearing is that this is the the waters below and the waters above. So we automatically assume that the waters below are on the terrestrial face of the earth. And we always assume that the waters above were either clouds, or some have proposed there was a a vapor canopy or there was some kind of shield out in space that surrounded the earth. And again, that's where the false concept of the flat earth dome came from, is from the early teachers of Hebrew who believed that. They didn't have the benefit again of of Walt Brown's book. Excuse me. But as Walt points out, the study of this term reveals that something's been overlooked for centuries. It's been hiding in plain sight, and so there's a very clear distinction between rachia referring to the earth's crust as a hammered out solid, alright, stretched over. And the rachia of the heavens, which is an expanse spread out by God's hand. So this fundamental misunderstanding has caused so much confusion and lost opportunity, through the centuries. When in reality, what is being pictured here as we'll come to explain through the hydroplate theory, is that the earth was standing in the water and out of the water on pillars. These pillars are part of the crust that touched down into the fountains of the great deep and came to rest on, we'll call it basement rock, but it's really the the floor of the subterranean chambers that God created the seas. The seas were not above ground, they were underground. There was waters above the Rachia, the firmament, and there were waters below. These are the fountains of the great deep. Because at at this time, if you recall in Genesis, it had not yet rained. The earth was watered from the ground. A mist rose up from the ground. Right? And water the earth. So that's part is completely different hydrological cycle than we experience today. So I don't know about you, but that's revolutionary. When you discover that and you go, how in the world could so many scholars and teachers have missed that for so many centuries, for so many decades in our lifetime? So it's still a theory. It's the hydroplate theory, but it it it to me in in my careful review and study, and and I've read a lot of creation material, it is the only explanation that's offered that explains over 25 mysteries of earth's features as well as features in space and our solar system that cannot be explained and have not been explained by any other creation organization or any secular science for that matter. So initially, well, as I mentioned before the flood, the earth's crust was supported by these pillars. And we see that when the dry land began to appear, initially, the earth was formless and void. It was a ball of water in space. And when the dry land appeared, it doesn't mean that God, you know, turned water into land, the land was there too. But it began to the the crust began to separate the waters above from the waters below. And the crust then is about 60 miles thick. And so the vault or the under the subterranean seas or chambers were about 60 miles below the crust. And doctor Brown estimates they're about a mile thick and could have been more, but they were at least a mile deep. And so on day two and three of creation, part of the crust sunk down and parts of the crust rose up and the pillars of the earth were sunk and the dry land appeared. So it's these pillars that form the vaults kind of like if you've been in in a cathedral perhaps or even a large government building, even the capital in Washington DC, they've got a vault underneath, you know, or sometimes they call it the crypt. It's just an an impressive basement where these supporting structures look like vaults or arches and and enormous columns or pillars that hold up the the structure. And so it's it's a very architectural and engineering marvel that holds up a tremendous amount of weight. And so if you can picture that, those pillars all over the earth touching down into the subterranean chamber, those are the that's the earth standing in the water and out of the water. And so these pillars that form the vaults supported heaven on earth in the original creation. Remember, God declared it was very good. And of course, we God walked in the garden with Adam and Eve. So isn't that amazing to think of that earth was literally part of heaven. God walked in the garden. There was no separation. So a simple review of the terminology that we get straight from scripture. Alright, we're not making this up. It's it's just a discovery that Walt found and he researched other scholars and he looked at ancient writings and and over time put this together. But it unlocks a mystery of where did all the water come from for the flood, right? Because we saw in verse seven, excuse me, verse 11, Genesis chapter seven, that all the fountains of the great deep were opened and or excuse me, all the fountains of the great deep burst forth and the windows of heaven were opened. So fountains below burst forth with with tremendous force and power. As we'll come to see, this is not just natural water, this is super critical water. This is water that's been heated by tidal pumping because the moon has a gravitational effect on our oceans today. Right? So the tides rise and fall twice a day, sometimes to a great extent in some places and a lesser extent in others. But imagine all of this subterranean water, the seas literally under the crust being pulled by the moon gravitationally twice a day. You're gonna have a water bed effect where there's a pumping almost like a bellows. Alright. And so God created that cycle and this the water became super critical. Anybody heard of super critical water? I had never heard of it until I discovered Walt Brown's material. In high school, we learned three states of matter, right? Solid, liquid, gas. And then later on you learn, oh, there's a fourth state, there's plasma. Well, now there's yet another one called supercritical. And different material can become supercritical. Lead can become supercritical. Water can become super critical. And all that means is it gets so hot to a point past boiling around 800 degrees that it no longer functions or behaves as a liquid, and it no longer functions or behaves as a gas. Alright? It's so hot, it's no longer it's no longer expanding, it can but it's absorbing heat. And it may it's extremely caustic, it's extremely abrasive. Right? So it's almost like like an acid of of sorts. And so when it does burst forth from these fountains, as we'll see, it it erodes and carries material with it. So it answers the question, unlocks the mystery, where did all the water come from? It came from below the earth, not from above it. Does that sound new to anybody? Does that sound strange? Because it rained. Right? It rained forty days and forty nights. You're telling me that the water came from below? I thought it came from above. I thought it rained forty days and forty nights. Well, it did. What happens when great fountains burst forth and shoot up into the atmosphere into space? Alright. It comes back down. What goes up must come down in the form of rain, in the form of muddy hail, in the form of ice, Because a lot of this particulate went up into the upper atmosphere and even and to the point where it froze and it and it probably reached temperatures of minus 400 degrees as it came back down to earth. And that explains some other mysteries that we'll come to. The mystery of frozen mammoths, for example. But some of this material, a lot of it in fact, was ejected so forcefully, so explosively, faster than the gravitational, you know, past the the speed at which gravity keeps things on earth. And that would be about seven miles per second or 25,000 miles per hour approximately. So the fascinating thing is that some of the material that was blown out of the subterranean chamber was as large as a 200 meter boulder. That's twice the length of a football field. And that became a sizable asteroid. So we'll come to explain it a little bit more about comets, asteroids, and other objects in space. They they water and ice in space came from Earth, not vice versa. So the secular scientists, in order to explain Earth, the water planet, they say that the Earth was bombarded with a bunch of comets. Well, where did the water come from in space? And why do we find organic matter frozen in some regions of space? And in the water we find on asteroids, in the water we find on the moon, in the water we find on Mars. So where did that organic material come from? Well, it blasted out of the earth at the time of Noah's flood when the fountains of the great deep burst forth. So, over time it became evident that the canopy theory that was first proposed by Henry Morris and John Wickham in their famous book, The Genesis Flood. Anybody read that? That was a fascinating, pretty thick seminal work that really launched the modern creation science movement and helped found the the Institute for Creation Research back in the seventies, is when the book was published. And so it proposed that there was a water of either water vapor or some have suggested ice surrounding the earth. And for decades, this was taught as the leading creationist explanation for the origin of the waters because the waters were above. There were waters below and there were waters above. And so it had to come from outer space they thought, or it had to come from this vapor canopy. Well, in the nineties, in the nineteen nineties, science began running computer models and simulations of this and they discovered, lo and behold, that model is unsustainable because it would have literally baked or cooked, boiled all life on earth. And and, you know, it had been a mass extinction event. But what I learned in college when they first taught the canopy theory is that it created a perfect greenhouse environment. And that it would have been ideal for plants and animals to grow, you know, to great size like the dinosaurs. There's lot of giganticism in animals prior to the flood, just things grew larger. Adam and Eve were probably larger, they were probably 12 tall. You had dragonflies with three foot wingspans that we find buried in today's fossil record. So the popular explanation at the time was that there was a greater atmospheric pressure and protection from the sun and even the magnetic field as a result of this canopy. The trouble is, it would have cooked everything on earth. So I guess you'd call that the canopy theory couldn't hold water as it collapsed. And, but it did so rather quietly. You know, I didn't don't remember it's been published in hundreds and hundreds of articles and dozens and dozens of books as as virtually accepted fact. And, then around in the mid nineties, ICR did publish, not really a retraction, but just kind of a notification that there were some scientific problems with this theory. And so it just kind of fizzled out. They're replacing that with other ideas, catastrophic plate tectonics being one. But the problem with catastrophic plate tectonics is very much like what others have proposed is that the Fountains Of The Great Deep were volcanic. Certainly there was volcanic activity, but how do you get a flood from from volcanic activity? You can't. The water has to come from somewhere. So it clearly came from subterranean chambers that God created there in the beginning. So what triggered the flood? That's the million dollar question. At the end of the creation week, God declared that it was very good. Genesis one verse 31. So the flood was not inevitable at that time. In other words, God didn't create a ticking time bomb. That wouldn't have been very good, would it? Today, of course, we have all kinds of, we call them natural disasters or even acts of God. We've got tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, volcanic activity, meteor bombardment, you know, fears of asteroids and comets striking the earth. And certainly, that has happened in the past and there's an explanation for it. All of these things, God did not create meters meteors floating in space. Does anybody understand why? Because they could strike the earth and cause an extinction event. So it wouldn't have been very good if God created meteors or comets in space. A comet of course is just a dirty snowball. It's actually a collection of rock and frozen water. And that's why we see the tail in the heavens. It's it's continuously melting. It's continuously off gassing as heat from the sun as it passes through its orbit. Asteroids are a little bit different. They are basically floating rock piles. NASA has been surprised in its recent discoveries, exploration of asteroids. They've, you know, they've flown orbiters into them intentionally to see what would happen. And basically they discovered, to their surprise, it's a floating rock pile. They don't they don't understand how rock could come together and adhere together in such a manner. You see rounded boulders, even congealed or conglomerated in in space. There's not a lot of gravitational attraction. There's very little. So if these objects are coming from many different directions, there's it's absolutely an impossibility that they would ever assemble together. The only explanation, hydroplate theory explains this marvelously, is that the rocks and boulders that are collected together that form asteroids were ejected like out of the barrel of a gun from the earth's crust, straight up and accelerated 60 miles through the crust with enough escape velocity to escape earth's gravity. And as all of these boulders and material sailed through space slowly because they went almost in the same trajectory. They slowly, with their slight gravitation, pulled together and became floating rock piles in space. Isn't that fascinating? So that's just one of the mysteries that Heider Plate Theory explains. I I think that is one of the fascinating more fascinating. So we had a very good earth in the beginning. Of course, we know that the man the depth of man sin, Genesis six five through six caused God to destroy the earth by a flood. And we may never know exactly what the physical trigger was for that that initiated the flood. But that is the the one assumption. Actually, there's two minor assumptions and one major assumption that Walt utilizes as part of his theory. And the first is that something initiated a crack. And we don't know what initiated it, but the crack did initiate. And it was a quickly became a 46,000 mile rupture, kind of like the seam of a baseball wrapping itself. It's on that poster, that's kind of a visualization of of what the eruption could have looked like from space. We see a 46,000 mile baseball like seam around the earth. And of course, the earth at that time was very different than the earth that we have today. Alright? There were there were no deserts. There were no extreme temperatures. There were no extreme mountains. The earth would have been very habitable. So today the earth is 75% water, and also a great percentage of land is uninhabitable. Right? It's hard to live in the desert. It's hard to live in the frozen tundra. And you certainly can't survive in extreme polar regions without special equipment and gear. So the the pre flood earth, of course, was made for life. It was made, it was a very good earth. Walt describes the earth as having, you know, have been lush vegetation around the planet with instead of jagged rocky peaks, which were formed as a result of crushing and buckling from the flood event, there would have been kind of hills no more than a mile high and probably interconnected seas no more than a mile deep. And then of lush vegetation, so it would have been paradise really, the whole earth would have been very much like paradise. So as beautiful as we find mountain peaks and craggy rocks and Mount Everest and the Grand Canyon, All of these fascinating elements of earth today that we admire are really monuments to catastrophe. They're monuments to the flood. They're monuments to God's destruction because it turned a very good earth into some place that is very dangerous in in places and very difficult for men, for humans to survive. So there's a few interesting verses that we can also they sound poetic when you read through them. And then when you begin to connect them to the hydroplate theory, they actually take on an entire new layer of meaning. One of them is Psalm one zero four verse three, which I'm paraphrasing slightly. He lays the beams that is pillars of his upper chambers, that is the crust and the waters, the waters below the subterranean waters. Alright. And even in second Peter three, five and six, he states that in the latter days mockers will not understand that quote, the earth was formed out of water and by water through which the world at that time was destroyed being flooded by water. And we'll come to some other scriptures as well. In Psalm 75 verse three, says, it is I that is God who have firmly set its pillars, the earth's pillars. There's that word again, pillars. And in Job 38, God demonstrates his authority by giving Job the most difficult science examination of all time. In verses four through six, God asked Job, where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me if you have understanding. On what were its bases sunk? Isn't that fascinating? A description of the the pillars being sunk down from the crust forming the arches that support the crust. Now, lot of people get a little confused and say, well, how can a 60 mile thick crust float on a bed of water? Well, number one is supported by pillars. Number two, that water is actually super critical water. Right? So it it's highly active, it's highly pressurized, and it's actually creating a porosity in in the granite in the granite ceiling and floor. It's kind of turning it into a sponge, which is actually part of God's original design, the hydrological cycle, because recall that the water or the the garden was watered with a mist that came up from the ground. So some of this heating effect through the title pumping as Walt describes it, is actually heating surface water that then comes up and waters the earth. Two verses later in Job thirty eight eight through 11, God says that he caused a confined sea of water enclosed in a dark cloud to burst forth, apparently describing the fountains of the Great Deep. Quote, or who enclosed the sea with doors when bursting forth, it went out from the womb. Does that sound like today's oceans? Or does that sound like the pre flood fountains of the Great Deep? He says, when I made a cloud its garment and thick darkness its swaddling band, and I placed boundaries on it and set a bolt and doors and I said, thus far you shall come but no farther and here shall your proud waves stop. So that was certainly one of earth's most dramatic physical events. It's interesting that in recorded ancient history, there's an ancient extra biblical. Oh my word. It's an extra biblical account, it's an extra biblical document. So it doesn't have the authority of biblical passages, but it describes this pillar structure within the subterranean water. It's from the British Museum, and it's called the book of the cave of treasures. It's dated about AD three hundred to June, and it states, quote, and on the third day, God commanded the waters that were below the firmament to be gathered together in one place and the dry land to appear. And when the covering of water had been rolled up from the face of the earth, the earth showed itself to be in an unsettled and unstable state. That is to say, it was of a damp or moist and yielding nature, and the waters were gathered together into seas that were under the earth and within it and upon it. And God made the earth from below corridors and shafts and channels for the passage of the waters. Now as for the earth, the lower part of it is like unto a thick sponge for it resteth on the waters. That sounds very much like a description of the earth's crust resting on the pillars that are enclosing the fountains of the great deep. So I find that very remarkable. The bible often speaks of the foundations of earth. On day three, the earth's crust was literally established or set using pillars on its foundation. And Walt says, had this not happened, the crust would have continually tottered or wobbled or undulated, kinda like the surface of an earth sized water bed. You know, the old fashioned kind that didn't have baffles in them. So perhaps this is why the psalmist wrote in one zero four verse five, he established the earth upon its foundations so that it will not totter forever and ever. So only by understanding some basic physics and the role of the subterranean water will these matters and the global flood become clear. So most of this is best illustrated by pictures. And so I hope you're getting at least a picture in your mind together with some of these teaching aids that we're passing around. But the entire book is available free of charge online. If you go to creationscience.com, creationscience.com, you'll be able to register, it's free, and you're not gonna get spammed, but they just want to know who's accessing the free book online. And you can begin to read all about the hydroplate theory. The first three chapters builds a case for creation from the world of life sciences, the world of astronomy, and the world of geology. So that in itself is is one of the best overviews of God's creation that I've seen. And then it proceeds from there to introduce the hydro plate theory and then all of the features of earth and even our solar system that are have been mysteries for centuries, but are perfectly explained by doctor Brown's hydroplate theory. So I'd like to describe Briefly talk about the phases of the flood. So in Doctor. Brown's model there are four phases and these are sequential from the time of the initiation of the rupture. Alright, we read that in verse 11, when the fountains of the great deep burst forth and the windows of heaven were opened. So you can take that, the windows of heaven, I used to think, well, windows of heaven were opened and the rain came. But no, if something's bursting forth and the windows of heaven are opened, what direction is the opening coming from? It's coming from below and the windows of heaven were opened as all of this material, a lot of it shoots out into space and becomes comets, meteors, asteroids, and then begins to impact the moon. It's a whole neat study in itself, but the moon is the near side that faces earth is heavily cratered. The largest and most number of craters are on the near side of the moon. Not so on the far side, but there are some on the far side because some of that material would have orbited around and impacted from behind. But by and large, the it's peppered from the earth side because that's how it was it was it was the target. It was one of the main targets of the fountains. Fascinating. And that's why they find water still frozen in shadows of the moon's craters. And this is why that if you look at modern photos of Mars, which are fascinating, they have they show incredible erosion. It looks like in places, it looks like the Grand Canyon. It looks like there's been a massive amount of water pouring down, eroding channels into the surface of Mars. Well, that's exactly what would have happened under bombardment by material that came from Earth. In fact, there is a frozen lake. I think it's under about a mile or so under the crust of Mars. And Walt makes many predictions in his book that if his theory is correct, you'll find certain things. And so he makes predictions about finding discoveries on the moon and in Mars that support the hydroplate theory. Already, a number of his predictions are coming true. So which validates the theory. So we have the rupture phase that lasted about two hours. So if you saw that big poster with the fountains bursting forth, that crack split open about five or six miles wide and that raced through the earth's crust around following like the seam of a baseball, 46,000 miles in about two hours. That's pretty incredible, isn't it? And so that's the rupture phase. And from that we get comets, asteroids called trans Neptunian objects shot into space. Also frozen mammoths. Everybody thinks that the frozen mammoths got frozen during the ice age. Right? Well, the ice age came after the flood. Frozen mammoths are in blocks of dirty ice that would have that they were frozen standing up when extremely cold hail from space rained back down, buried them standing up, crushing their bones, flattening parts of their body. It's only explained by a catastrophic event as the the hydroplate theory. So the flood phase lasted for months. A lot of us think forty days and forty nights of rain, right? Well, that wasn't the end of the fountains. The fountains continued to erupt from beneath for another hundred fifty days. Alright? Or a total of a hundred fifty days. I have to look on my paper. But that is that the reason that is the case is that the the fountains were able to penetrate the rising floodwaters and continue shooting into the atmosphere and into into space. But at a point in time when the floodwaters rose high enough and at a point in time when the water underneath the hydro plates began the hydro plates began to collapse and to sink, and eventually they shut off that brushing water and that was carrying with it granite, fractured granite material and shooting it up. But but again, that water continued to rise until that time. And Noah and his family, of course, were on that ark for over a year, about three hundred seventy days before they got out. So it wasn't a short duration event. So during that process, of course, we have the fossils forming, limestone deposited. They're sorted by a process called liquefaction that Walt describes, remarkable process. Earth's radioactivity is produced as the crust fluttered. It created electrical forces that energized the earth crust and changed it because radiation is not a good thing today. So God did not create radiation in the beginning because otherwise he couldn't have declared it to be very good. So Walt's theory perfectly explains the origin of earth's radiation. And that by the way, is the explanation on the decline of the longevity of humankind, which occurs after the flood. You see that curve arc down to one hundred and twenty years and then finally to seventy years. So they go from living nine hundred years and more pre flood to a hundred twenty to seventy. And and today says, we're man will live seventy years and if by reason of strength, 80. So that's pretty much what we're granted today. But prior to the flood, they lived nine hundred sixty nine years, nine hundred thirty years, pretty pretty remarkable. So something that drastically occurred, drastic occurred and it fits the hydroplate model explains that it was the origin of earth's radioactivity. So then there's a whole continental drift phase, the formation of mountain ranges as these continental plates slid away from the rising mid oceanic ridge, probably at the speed of 50 to 70 miles per hour until they they slid down, slid apart from this mid oceanic ridge. They crushed and they buckled, and then they formed the Rocky Mountains, the Himalayas, Mount Everest. And that's why we find fossils and marine life at the mountain tops of the mountain peaks. It's not because the water was at 30,000 feet, it's because the hydro plates slid and lubricated by water and like a runaway freight train, they crushed and buckled and that's why we see the major mountain ranges are parallel to the Mid Oceanic Ridge. Which by the way is the earth's largest, longest mountain range at about 46,000 miles. It averages about two miles high from the ocean's floor. So it's an incredible and you've got submarine canyons down there that are just incredible. Of course, hydroplate theory also explains the formation of the Grand Canyon. So I encourage you to look at that chapter. Boy, I wish we had time to look at it today. It's fascinating. So it's not millions of years, it's happened in a matter of weeks. How is that possible? Well, if you look at that chart that's being passed around, and if you can imagine that after the hydro plate slid and the waters began to pour off of the the the continents that were raised up, alright, they would carve sub they would carve canyons and river and valleys and trenches that are now covered by deep water. But at the time, it was running off the earth and flowing back into the basins. Well, on the elevated continents, right after the flood, they would have had thousands of basins, thousands of lakes filled with water. So we see a lot of the extinct lakes today are extinct because the water evaporated, dried up. Other lakes continue to be filled from snow melt and runoff if they're at a high enough elevation. But we've got Cashmere Basin in in the Himalayas. We've got Bonneville, you know Bonneville Lake, the Bonneville Salt Flats. We have Lake Missoula across Montana. We have other massive lakes, even some of the things like the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Massive bodies of water today that would have been post flood lakes. And then as they spilled over and eroded, some of the water flowed out. And again, in the case of the Grand Canyon, that's what carved the Grand Canyon in a matter of weeks. So fascinating. And if we wanna follow the dirt, just just follow the Colorado River and then look at the Gulf Of California. And if you look at a bathymetric map, you see a tiny little peninsula. So what happens in modern rivers today when they when they have their sediment flowing down, they create massive peninsulas. Right? Well, the Colorado River has this tiny little peninsula, but at the base of the Gulf Of California, you've got all of this sediment is flat. It's basically flat. That dumped out all of the erosion, you know, thousands of square miles of material that were deposited there. So again, the hydroplate theory today, we're still recovering. That's why we have earthquakes. The hydroplate, the activity of the hydroplates caused the earth to roll because when these mountains ranges were formed, it created a lopsided ball, right? The earth was smooth, basically. And so when the mountain ranges sprang up, it was kind of lopsided and that caused the earth to roll and the crustal shift did did a couple of things. Number one, it brought the mammoths buried in ice, frozen ice. It it made them become the frozen in the the colder parts of the globe. But it also created lava underneath the crust. You know, why is the earth so hot? If it's 5,600,000,000 years old, why is it so hot? It shouldn't be hot, it should be cool. And it shouldn't be hotter here and colder there, it should all be uniform. So again, the closer you look, creation shouts and the hydro plate demonstrates how these events took place that are recorded in the book of Genesis for us to reflect on and to learn and to be solidified in our faith. And so I hope that that is just a little teaser, a little taster. Encourage you to again to check out Walt's free book online or get a copy for yourself and your family. And, just become more familiar with it. There's excellent teaching out there too. Pastor Kevin Lee, who will be here, next Sunday, has just retired from the church that he founded, Calvary Port Orchard. And he has new ministry is called Hydroplate Theory University, HPTU, or excuse me, hptuniversity.com. Hptuniversity.com. So be sure to check that out. And online there are other teachers, Brian Nickel is an excellent teacher who knew Walt, worked closely with him and developed a series of videos online that you can check out. Heider plate theory overview and just Google Brian Nickel and look for his YouTube channel. I think he's also on Rumble, might be a little easier to find. But those are excellent teaching tools for you to be encouraged and solidified in your faith and be able to have a reason of the answer of the hope that lies within you. And so I pray that you'll take that with you. So much more we could explore, maybe another time we can investigate a few of these earth's features in more detail. The frozen mammoths, the massive gas and oil and methane deposits that are laid down by the flood, of course. And again, the trans Neptunian objects, that's a fascinating talk. Pluto, Pluto, of course got demoted from planetary status, but turns out it may be one of those collection of comets that got shot out from earth and it's a frozen body out there that wasn't there originally, wasn't there as part of God's original creation. So fascinating to consider. Alright. So I guess at this time, we should move into our time of communion. So father, thank you for these marvelous things that some of which are difficult for us to comprehend because they're in such a vast great scale. But Lord, you're an awesome creator God, we can we can't comprehend the universe, the stars, the heavens, Lord, but we're so grateful that you've placed us here on this beautiful water filled earth. And Lord, what a marvelous system of life you have designed and created. And we're sorry that man has spoiled it so and Lord, especially that sin has caused such devastation resulted in judgment upon our planet Lord. And we know that your judgment is coming again. And so father, we ask that you would strengthen us and equip us that we might be brighter lights, ambassadors for you to shine forth your word. And Lord that we can use these evidences not to only be solidified in your faith, Lord, but to demonstrate and share that there are better explanations that the museums don't have, the the government doesn't have, the schools don't have. But Lord your word has, if we will only look and if we will only consider how these things, can be explained, scientifically with true science. And so we thank you for doctor Brown and for all those who are working to, perpetuate this, this book and these materials and just pray that it will, set your people free. Lord, explaining so much that has been, hidden from us. We ask all these things in Jesus name. Amen.
