Brian Lauer presents the scientific evidence supporting the Hydroplate Theory and explains it. Dr. Walt Brown developed this theory in the 1990's, and in his book "In the Beginning" he makes predictions based upon his theory that proved to be true when new discoveries were made. Researchers use phrases such as "unexpected", "fossil oddity", "longest standing puzzle", "unanswered questions" when encountering these discoveries, yet the Hydroplate Theory answers these questions. These include giant redwoods, dinosaurs and mammoths near the north pole, the presence of marine fossils on top of the Himalayan Mountains, and the rise of high elevation plateaus. The assumption of the Hydroplate Theory is a body of water under the earth's crust that existed before the flood. When Noah's Flood occurred, this water burst forth as the fountains of the deep were broken up, propelling material beyond the escape velocity of the earth.

The Hydroplate Theory (or Model) is an explanation of a mechanism where the flood of Noah got its water and what happened to it afterwards. This mode was proposed in the 1980s and Dr. Walt Brown developed it and wrote about it in his book "In The Beginning". Kevin Lea is a proponent of this model and we have him as a guest on this episode. The primary scripture supporting the Hydroplate theory is Genesis 7:11, which describes the breaking up of the fountains of the deep. In this model, the earth's crust before the flood was riding upon a reservoir of water under high pressure. The flood occurred when a fissure opened up in the earth's crust allowing the trapped water to escape at supersonic speed. It caused jets of water to spew into space, along with rocks and debris from the fissure. As the continents separated, they rode upon the remaining water reaching speeds up to 45 miles an hour. The entire earth was covered with water, and as the continents reached obstacles, mountains rose up and valleys sank. Asteroids and trans Neptune objects are remnants of this disaster. Walt Brown's 9th edition is on his website at creationscience.com.

The way life synthesizes its components is much different from they way it is necessary for it to be created in the laboratory. We compare hemoglobin and chlorophyll. Their similar structure and biosynthesis in the animal and plant kingdoms speak of a common designer who wrote the computer code and reused the same design in both plants and animals to fix carbon dioxide and oxygen. Creating the life components of amino acids and nucleotides in the laboratory is difficult at best, and they must be in the right amounts, right configuration, right time and right place. Water is an enemy to the reaction to form the peptide bond, so in order to create polypeptides, solid phase synthesis techniques must be employed, and these are unnatural. There is an interplay and interdependence between DNA, RNA, proteins and their synthesis in life where the formation of DNA is dependent upon the protein DNA polymerase. A biochemist who understands this ought to be the first in church, recognizing the impossibility for chance to produce life, and giving honor and glory to the creator.

What is the Gospel? 1. God sent His son Jesus Christ to earth, to become one of us, and to die on the cross in our stead for forgiveness of sins. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). 2. As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one." Romans 3:10-12 3. The wages of sin is [eternal] death (Romans 6:23). 4. The free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23b). 5. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9). What is sin, and where did it come from? 1. It comes from the story of Adam and Eve in Genesis. 2. God created the world to be perfect, with only one stipulation: not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 3. The serpent tempted Eve who ate from the tree and gave the fruit to Adam who was with her, who also ate. 4. They were told by the serpent that their eyes would be opened and that they shall be as like gods, knowing good and evil. 5. That choice, multiplied today with that kind of temptation, drives the propagation of evil in the world. How does evolution destroy the power of the gospel? 1. Lyell in his Principles of Geology, made it clear that he intended to refute the authority of the Bible by proposing millions of years of earth history as a refutation of the timeline of the Bible. 2. Darwin was angry at God because his favorite daughter died at 10 years old. His motive for proposing the theory of evolution was a means to kill God. 3. Because the founders of evolution theory were ardent opponents of Christianity and the Bible, we should not regard them as scientific authorities, nor should we attempt to reconcile the Bible to their theories. 4. Bible scholars should not have to apologize for the Bible contradicting scientific error and lies. What are some of the compromise positions? 1. Day-age theory 2. Gap Theory 3. Theistic Evolution 4.
