OK, now this has got people outraged because what this little guy will do next is going to cause big problems. For a certain group of people. If there was one creature in the animal Kingdom that causes evolutionists to question their entire theory, it would be the Bombardier beetle. How can I make such a massive claim? Well, you will too when you see what's inside these beetles. Fix your. Eyes on this. The Bombardier Beetle contains a masterpiece of engine
engineering design. It has glands in its belly that produce two safe chemicals when kept apart, hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide. But get this. The beetle then sends these chemicals into a sort of storage tank where it keeps them for a rainy day. So let's see what happens when the Bombardier beetle spots trouble ahead. Once unhappy, the beetle, using a complex valve system, sends these two chemicals into another
uniquely designed chamber. And from there the beetle secrets a special catalyst of enzymes which, when mixed with the two chemicals, creates an overpowering spray, which is 100°C. Right. So now we have this scalding hot spray. It's ready. So the bomber Beer Beetle. He sizes up his he twists his lower body and then rotates the two nozzles at his tail end. And with precise accuracy, he erupts his insane combination at anyone who dares to mess with
him. And the craziest thing of all is the Bombardier Beetle. Let's out not just one, not just two booms, but. 500 booms. Per second to ensure that he is nobody's lunch today. So come on, let's ask the obvious question here. Why does this leave the evolutionist speechless? I'll tell you why. When you look at this incredibly complex system and you know that this is inside every single Bombardier beetle, you have to admit that this system must be carefully designed.
Because any system involving combustion and the fusion of two powerful chemicals must have a mind behind it. Why? Because anyone Who? Works with combustion. Knows that many things can go easily wrong. I mean, think about it. If evolution is step by step, gradual, unguided changes over millions of years, that means that at some points in the Bombardier beetles history, it had no chemical spray.
So what happened the first time that it mixed these two chemicals when it didn't have any storage tank and it didn't have anywhere to hold it? How would it store this 100° mixture and how did it manage to eject and release this spray if it hadn't yet evolved these two nozzles as its tail end? And then the other thing that's got me thinking is what about the storage chambers when they were evolving?
How did the first storage chambers have the durability, the thickness not to melt whilst holding this red hot fusion? Come on guys, you know as well as I do that if left a chance without all of these parts fully made and fully functioning together, this beetle would burst into 1000 pieces the first time it ever attempted to make its own rocket fuel. It is kind of obvious, isn't it, that such a fragile combustion system must require an intelligent designer?
Because if you remove any part of the system, it would be impossible for the Bombardier beetle to survive, as it would either destroy itself or it wouldn't have the tools to protect itself from any bigger animals and thus would not survive and would not pass on its genes. And we would not have Bombardier beetles today. But I can hear exactly what you're saying right now. Big deal, Joe. So there's this one beetle which throws A curveball into the theory of evolution.
That does not prove that intelligent design happened by a creator. Well, what if I told you that there are examples of what famously has been called irreducible complexity throughout the entire animal Kingdom? And I'm going to show show you some of these examples. But first let's hear from the man himself, Charles Darwin, the author of evolution.
He said if it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous successive slight modifications. My. Theory would absolutely break down. I wonder what goes through your mind. If you hear that that in other words, the evolution daddy himself is saying that if there is one Organism which can be proved that it does not evolved by tiny slight modifications, then everything I've ever said
is 1 big fat lie. Well, did you know that there's not just one Organism which is irreducibly complex, but there are many throughout the entire animal Kingdom. But come on, Joe, you keep using this term irreducibly complex. What does it even mean? And just put it simply to me, please. OK, irreducible complexity is the argument that there is life, there are systems which have multiple parts which interact together. And if you just one of these parts, the entire system would
not function. This obviously debunks evolution instantly, as according to the evolutionist, all life comes from a simple life form and by small modifications. More complex systems can be gradually built by natural selection. But when a system is irreducibly complex, it needs every part to be fully developed for the
system to work. Which of course points away from an unguided process of millions of years, but points more towards towards the purposeful arrangements of all of the parts by an intelligent creator God. If he's still a little confused, don't worry. Because I. Want you to meet Michael Behe. He is the man who actually came up with this term irreducibly complex and he also has a very, very easy to understand illustration And once you see this, everything will become clearer.
The same applies to this rather complex drill. It has some cool add-ons, but I could take off this battery gauge or this LED light or a few other gadgets and I'd still have a working drill. But how far can I reduce its complexity and not ruin it? I don't want to take apart my drill, so let me move to another example, this mouse trap. The complexity of this machine entails 5 parts. The platform, the spring, the hammer, the holding bar and the
catch. Now if I reduce the number of parts from 5:00 to 4:00, if I take away the holding bar or the spring or any other part, it wouldn't work. Every part is essential. I call this irreducible complexity. Now this, as you can imagine, has received quite a bit of criticism, even surprisingly, from other theists. I'm wearing a tie clip that looks like it's composed of a mouse trap. Now, it's not very elegant, but it does keep my tie in place.
But what you'll see when I take this out is that this is a mouse trap from which I've removed two of the parts. I've removed the catch and the base holder. You can't catch any mice with this, but these three parts of the five part mouse trap are perfectly functional in a different context, and one context would be holding my tie on. Another context would be serving
as a large paper clip. They might be able to criticize be he's mousetrap illustration, but very few have struggled to explain just how the phlegm motor evolved. I think the best, well the most visually striking example of design is something called the bacterial flagellum. Now this is a figure of a bacterial flagellum taken from a textbook which is widely used in colleges and universities around
the country. The bacterial flagellum is quite literally an outboard motor that bacteria use to swim, and in order to accomplish that function it has a number of parts which are ordered to that effect. Now this part here, which is labeled the filament, is actually the propeller of the bacterial flagellum. The motor is actually a Rotary motor. Most people who see this and have the function explained to them quickly realize that these parts are ordered for a purpose
and therefore bespeak design. The idea is that there are certain aspects of life, perhaps the organisms or organs or even cells, that in a sense could only have come about as a whole. In other words, it was very unlikely they could have come about through just a kind of contingent combination of parts over even millions or billions of years, but rather in a sense had to be created whole cloth altogether at once, because everything fits together so well that to remove one part the
thing wouldn't function. Let's. Examine a much larger system, the giraffe. Giraffes are actually very strong evidence that animals did not gradually evolve over millions of years. You already know that giraffes have 6 foot long necks, but did you know that every time a giraffe does this it could be potentially over for our long necked friends? If and the big if is they were not designed by an intelligent designer. The fact is. This each Giraffe. Has a 25 LB heart.
Why is it so big? Well the giraffe's heart has a very trying job to do. It has to pump a huge amount of blood all the way up the neck towards the head whilst working against gravity. Here is the problem with step by step evolutionary modifications. Because if the giraffe's Mega Heart is constantly pumping large amounts of blood to the head, what happens when the giraffe? Bends its. It's neck right down to drink from a water hole suddenly all. Of that power.
Would of course rush an insane amount of blood and pressure to the giraffe's brain, which would cause the giraffe at best to pass out and at worst Well, it doesn't bear thinking about because fortunately the giraffe was intelligently designed to be able to cope with this dilemma. Inside every giraffe is an
irreducibly complex system. The giraffe's blood vessels are unique in that they have reinforced walls with bypass valves, and these valves are instructed exactly when to open and when to close by sensor signals, which tell the giraffe whether to restrict the blood flow to the brain or to release it. But here's. The real fingerprints. Of a creator on the giraffe. Supposing that these moderating blood vessels let a little bit too much blood through the bypass valves, what happens
then? Well, I'm glad you asked, because inside of the giraffe's head is a genius sponge like design which absorbs too much blood and then releases the exact amount of the brain until the giraffe's blood pressure equalizes. Oh, and by the way, just a little throwaway comment here. Once the giraffe has refreshed its palate and lifts its head up, this complex system knows exactly how to work in reverse. So then you don't get problems. With too much. Blood then rushing away from the
head. So if you're an atheist, can I love him? Ask you a question? If these systems were somehow the product of random, unguided evolution, how many giraffes do you think passed out until these features somehow knew to evolve? The obvious answer is that the very first giraffe must have had these complex features already wired inside it, or they wouldn't have been able to survive and pass on their genes and still be here today.
I'm going to choose my. Words carefully now because as I said in my Missing Link video, it is not my goal in any way to try and come across as smug or arrogant or to try and win an argument. No, I just very gently want to try and get people to think whether you believe in. Evolution or Not? If you're totally honest with me right now, you've got to agree that it does make sense. For these complex. Systems to have.
An intelligent mind behind them. The eye has a superior auto focusing system, more so than the best DSR camera. That you can. Buy in any. Shop. And yet how? Many of you would believe that a camera could build itself. Even the technology. That we all have today that right now we're a little. Bit fearful. Of this technology, yes, it knows how to recreate itself. But it first had to be designed. It first had to be instructed.
It first had to be fed information by an intelligent human mind, or else it wouldn't be here today. So why is it we are told to believe? That our eight. Billion minds, Smart thinking minds came from no minds. Why are we told to believe that? Our. Conscious mind came. From the unconscious, these are serious questions that I believe every atheist must have an answer for.
Because if they are wrong, well, the Bible is clear, they will one day meet the God that they have rejected and they will bow to his son. But my dear friends, listen to me because anyone who can hear my voice right now is not without hope. There is no one who is too far gone. Why? Because God the Father came up with a wonderful salvation plan which is irreducibly complex. I've been thinking about this because if you. Think. About our salvation. If any.
Part of it was removed any of these. Interacting parts came. Away, then the plan would not work. So everyone, take this into your mind. And stop me if I get. Something wrong? Because you. And I have messed up. We have tried to run the show ourselves. We have broken God's laws, and therefore we have accumulated a huge debt of sins which we. Cannot pay off. So the first thing we need is someone to pay off our sins. That's the first part.
However, it's no good having any old Joe to write off our debts. This person has to be perfect. They have to be without sin. Otherwise they would first have to pay off their own sins before they could save any of us. And that is the second part. Now, according to the scripture, for us to be forgiven, blood has
to be spilled. The Bible says for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. It also says, and according to the law, almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission. So someone had to shed their blood, to wash away, to scrub away our guilty stains of sin. That's the third part. OK, but what good is forgiveness if we just die, if there is no paradise after this life? So what do we need now?
Well, we need someone who can empty our grave and give us eternal life. Someone who has the power to conquer death and not only raise themselves from the dead, but everyone who trusts in him. That's the 4th part. But friends, here's another thing for us to consider in our irreducibly complex salvation plan. How do we? Get to heaven. When we are down here on earth, we need heaven to come down to us. We need this risen one to come back like a groom meets his bride.
We need this person to rescue us, to deal with all those who hate him and hate his words. We need this person to come and collect himself for people, for himself and to bring us before the throne of God where we will worship, ship the Father and work for him in all of eternity. That is the 5th part. So. Come on now. Here's the moment of truth. Who is this one? Who is the only one who can weave together this irreducibly
complex salvation plan? It is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ who died on a cross for wretched sinners like me for a wretched. Sinner. Like you, who on the cross paid the price for our sins, took all of our debts in his body, who was then put in a tomb, but on the third day rose from the dead. After raising himself back to life, he went and ascended, and now he is at the right hand of God.
But one day he's coming back to collect for himself a people, a bride for himself that will worship him in spirit and in truth. For all of eternity there is none other than the man Jesus Christ, who we must worship, and he alone can save us. But there is a final part to this irreducibly complex salvation plan, and it involves you. You yourself have to be a willing participant. As the old saying goes, God only helps those who want to help themselves.
And if you don't want this salvation plan, well, God will not push it on you. No, God gently draws people to himself, but if you say no, he'll respect your wishes. So can I ask you a question that perhaps you've never, ever thought about? Do you actually want to be saved? Do you actually want your sins to be forgiven? Do you actually want to to turn away from all these false gods that you've trusted in and now trust in the Lord Jesus Christ? Do you actually want eternal
life? Because whether you want eternal life or not, you'll get it. You'll either get it with the Evil One for all of eternity in hell, or you'll get it with the Lord Jesus Christ for all of eternity in heaven. Oh, my dear friends, whatever your thoughts are on evolution, this is not a salvation issue, but there is an issue of your soul and your sin, and that is no fairy tale.
Whether you think all of these things in the Bible are fairy tales, your sin is not a fairy tale and you need it dealing with right now. So please turn to God in faith and repentance and let him wash away all of your sins and give you eternal life and give you hope beyond the grave under normal circumstances. At this point in the video I would address those who are saved and I would say if you're a Christian, please subscribe to my YouTube. Channel now. Yes, if you.
Are one. Please do consider joining our Off the Curb family, but right now there's something far more important than that, I believe. There are still some atheists watching my video. Right now, and you're still unconvinced, you're saying to me, okay Joe, you want to say that this world had a designer and it was all created, but the big question needs to be asked. Who created God then? Well, if you want an answer to that question, you probably should check this out right away.
