calling out Speech, speech,
speech, speech.]00:02:26
Well I'm not much
for making speeches,00:02:28
but, on behalf
of her mother and I,00:02:30
I would like to thank you
all for coming00:02:32
to Rachel's going off
to college party.00:02:35
This is the moment
I've been waiting for.00:02:36
Dad.00:02:37
[Laughter]00:02:41
What I meant was, the moment
I haven't been waiting for.00:02:46
One of the hardest things
for a father00:02:47
is when it comes time to send
his little girl off to college.00:02:51
Rachel, we love you so much,00:02:55
and we are very,
very proud of you.00:02:57
[Mouth thank you]00:02:59
Just remember our deal though,00:03:01
you promised you
wouldn't get married00:03:02
until you're at least
forty-five.00:03:03
[Laughs from everyone]00:03:07
You sure you don't want
to take any of your photos?00:03:09
You've seen the dorm rooms,00:03:11
I don't have room
for all that stuff.00:03:12
I know.00:03:14
This house isn't going to be
the same without you.00:03:17
Mom,
its only three hours away.00:03:19
I'll be back from time to time.00:03:21
And you two can come visit.00:03:22
It's not like I'm going
away forever.00:03:25
How's she supposed
to get anything packed00:03:26
with you crying over
everything she owns?00:03:28
You tell her Dad.00:03:29
Yeah don't let him fool you.00:03:31
When you're here
he's all together,00:03:32
but when you drive away,
he'll be missing you.00:03:36
Did you enjoy dinner?00:03:37
Yes, thank you both so much.00:03:38
You know you
didn't have to do it.00:03:40
Are you kidding?00:03:41
Going off to college
is a big deal.00:03:43
I think your other clothes
are probably ready.00:03:44
I'll help you.00:03:47
Be right back Dad.00:03:48
Okay.00:03:49
[Music]00:04:34
Oh hey,
are you my roommate?00:04:36
Um, I guess so.00:04:37
I'm Ally.00:04:38
Rachel. I went ahead
and threw my stuff on a bed.00:04:40
I didn't know which one you
wanted so I just picked one.00:04:42
That's fine.00:04:43
We're just going
to the student union.00:04:44
Do you want
to come with us?00:04:45
I think I'm just going
to get moved in first.00:04:46
Do you need help
with your stuff?00:04:48
I got it. Thank you.00:04:49
Alright, I'll see you
later then.00:04:50
See ya.00:04:51
[Music]00:05:03
Welcome, welcome, welcome.00:05:04
Is everybody alive?00:05:05
Yeah.00:05:07
I say is everybody alive?00:05:09
Yeah!00:05:10
There we go.00:05:12
If you are wondering
what plane you're on,00:05:13
this is Introduction to Biology00:05:16
where we will be
studying life and its origins,00:05:18
and all that good stuff.00:05:20
So if you are on
the wrong flight,00:05:21
this would be the time
to disembark.00:05:25
I am your humble pilot,
Professor Marcus Kaman.00:05:28
Out in the hall,
behind my back,00:05:30
you call me anything you like00:05:31
but in here I would appreciate
Professor Kaman00:05:34
or, if you must,
Mister Professor Kaman.00:05:38
[Students laugh]00:05:40
I'm going to try my best
to entertain you00:05:41
during our time together,00:05:43
in return I would
appreciate from you00:05:45
a little critical thinking.00:05:47
Science is after all,
the field which challenges us00:05:50
to redefine the conventional
wisdom of our predecessors.00:05:54
That's what makes us grow
as a society and as a species.00:05:58
I want to have some honest,
intellectual discussion in here00:06:02
and I want each and every one
of you to participate00:06:05
and that includes you.00:06:09
And now for the good news,
it's about your grades.00:06:12
Attend this class,
and you will pass.00:06:16
In fact, if you show up
every time, I'll give you a C,00:06:18
even if I know you're only
pretending to listen to me.00:06:22
[students laugh]00:06:23
[opening door]00:06:25
What are you doing?00:06:26
Just a little work.00:06:27
Rachel, this is our first
weekend at college.00:06:29
We're going out!00:06:31
[Music]00:06:56
You look like you
could use a friend.00:06:57
What?00:06:58
I said you look like
you could use a friend.00:07:01
It's hard to hear you.00:07:03
Let's go outside.00:07:04
[Music]00:07:15
That's better.00:07:16
I'm Jason. Rachel.00:07:17
Good to meet you Rachel.00:07:18
You're a freshmen?00:07:19
Yep.00:07:20
I was a freshmen once.00:07:22
Last year.00:07:24
You liking your
classes so far?00:07:25
They're pretty good.00:07:26
What are you taking?00:07:27
English, Spanish, Government,
Algebra and Biology.00:07:30
Biology?00:07:31
Did you get Kaman? I did.00:07:32
Professor Marcus Kaman.00:07:34
Welcome, welcome, welcome.00:07:36
Is everybody alive?00:07:38
That's right.00:07:39
Yeah,
I had him last year.00:07:40
He's a fun guy.00:07:41
You know he made biology
really interesting,00:07:42
and I hate biology.00:07:43
I'll look forward
to it then.00:07:45
You have a major yet
Rachel?00:07:46
I do.00:07:47
What is it?00:07:48
Biology.00:07:49
Oh.00:07:56
I brought you some juice.00:07:59
You ever going to get up?00:08:01
What time is it?00:08:02
Almost 10 a.m..00:08:04
So how was it with Jason?00:08:06
He was nice.00:08:08
We just talked.00:08:10
Do you know him?00:08:12
I was here this summer
and I met him.00:08:13
He's available.00:08:15
I wouldn't wait
around though,00:08:17
he won't be single
for very long.00:08:20
Yes, Richard,
looking forward to it.00:08:22
I've got it down.00:08:24
Rachel?00:08:25
Yeah, she's fine.00:08:27
Yep, she ended up going off
to the university.00:08:30
Well, Kimberly and I
struggled a lot with that00:08:33
because our goal was to send
her to a good Christian college00:08:35
but she really
wants to be pharmacist00:08:37
and they have a great program.00:08:39
She'll find a good church
over there.00:08:47
Ladies and gentlemen,00:08:48
today, we are going to answer
the age old question00:08:50
that has been asked by
generation after generation00:08:53
throughout history.00:08:54
It is the question of questions
concerning the origins of life.00:08:58
It is, of course,00:09:00
which came first,
the chicken or the egg?00:09:03
[students laugh]00:09:04
Now, how many of you
would answer that by saying00:09:06
the egg came first,
raise you hands.00:09:12
Mr. Blair, why the egg?00:09:14
Because without the egg,
there could be no chicken.00:09:17
Good answer.00:09:19
Now how many of you would say
the chicken came first,00:09:21
raise your hands.00:09:25
Alright Miss Whitaker,
why the chicken?00:09:28
Because without the chicken,
there could be no egg.00:09:30
Good.00:09:31
Once again,
if you're with Mr. Blair00:09:32
you think the egg
came first, raise your hands.00:09:36
Now, if you think
it was the chicken.00:09:40
Well, the correct answer is,
drum roll please.00:09:44
[hand drum roll]00:09:48
The egg.00:09:49
The egg came first.00:09:51
Scientific research
of the fossil record00:09:54
and the diversity and
similarity of living organisms00:09:57
has convinced most
scientific minds00:09:59
that complex life forms
evolved from simpler life forms.00:10:04
And if we open our books
to chapter two,00:10:07
we can study this
in a little more detail.00:10:12
[chatter]00:10:14
I just got a text from Jason.00:10:16
He wants me to meet him
right now at the student union.00:10:18
I'm telling you, he likes you.00:10:19
He's just a friend.00:10:20
Sounds like he wants
to be more than just friends.00:10:24
Hey, what did you think about what Professor Kaman
was just saying.00:10:26
About what?00:10:27
About the egg
coming first.00:10:28
Sounds okay to me.00:10:30
I know my Dad would not
agree with that.00:10:32
Well, Daddy's not here.00:10:34
But Jason is.00:10:35
Now, go meet with him.00:10:38
[papers slams on table]00:10:39
What's this?00:10:40
Have I got an important
job for you.00:10:42
Okay, what this?00:10:43
Old newspapers.00:10:44
We need to archive all of the
key articles onto our web site.00:10:47
Alright, I think
I can handle that.00:10:50
Shane!00:10:51
I think there there's more
newspapers than just this.00:10:53
Huh?00:10:54
That's right, this is only about
five years worth.00:10:56
We'll start with these.00:10:59
How many years
are we going to do?00:11:00
Well, the paper's been in
existence for over sixty years.00:11:03
Sixty?00:11:04
It will take me
all semester to do that?00:11:06
And the University will be
indebted to you for your effort.00:11:10
No wait Mr. Jamison,
I was mistaken,00:11:12
it will take my entire college
career to do this.00:11:16
And the University will be
indebted to you for your effort.00:11:18
[Music]00:11:22
[laughter]00:11:27
So, she comes over last night
to watch TV00:11:28
and then she said she is
only going to watch it with me00:11:30
in the lounge.00:11:32
Is that stupid or what?00:11:33
You know how to pick them.00:11:34
Yeah, I know how
to drop 'em too.00:11:36
What?00:11:37
She's one of the cutest freshmen
we've seen.00:11:39
I don't care.00:11:40
Aren't you getting
with her later today00:11:41
at that student union.00:11:43
Supposed to.00:11:44
You know what you're problem is
Jason, you give up too easily.00:11:47
[Caught football]00:11:48
<i>KIMBERLY:</i>
<i>Stephen,</i> <i>Dinner</i> <i>in</i> <i>five.</i>00:11:50

[Music]00:12:10
Alright,
here's your hundred.00:12:11
You know what
your going to say right?00:12:12
I already told you,
I'm not going to do this.00:12:14
Rachel come on,
this is a good idea.00:12:15
But I can't do it.00:12:16
Yes, you can.00:12:17
It's just Tyler.00:12:19
He's my roommate.00:12:20
The guy in the red shirt.00:12:21
I can't.00:12:22
You have to
because he's cute.00:12:23
You think everyone is cute.00:12:24
Well he is.00:12:26
Now go.00:12:27
I can't. Rachel if you pull this off,00:12:29
everybody is going to be
talking about this for years.00:12:31
Yeah but why me?00:12:32
Let Ally go.00:12:33
No, he met Ally this summer.00:12:34
He might know something's up.00:12:36
Where'd you come up with
something like this any way?00:12:38
I found this old book
in the library.00:12:39
From when,
the nineteen seventies?00:12:41
Actually nineteen sixties,
but thank you very much.00:12:44
That happens to be why
nobody knows about this.00:12:46
This is so stupid.00:12:47
Rachel this is fun.00:12:48
What are you worrying about,
I got your back.00:12:50
I don't know.00:12:51
You've got to loosen up girl.00:12:53
I won't be able to say it
with a straight face.00:12:55
Yes you can.00:12:56
Come on Rachel,00:12:57
just do it in the
name of college fun.00:12:58
Yeah, this is your moment.00:13:02
It'll be great.00:13:04
Trust me.00:13:05
[chatter]00:13:11
Alright.00:13:13
Alright.00:13:14
[Music]00:13:16
Here are your eggs.00:13:17
Now you just got
to say everything00:13:18
exactly the way
I told you to say it.00:13:20
Okay! I have no idea
why I'm doing this.00:13:22
You both are going to owe me.00:13:23
[Music]00:13:42
Excuse me, good looking.00:13:45
Me?00:13:46
Yes, you.00:13:47
You wanna make
a hundred dollars?00:13:49
Hundred dollars?00:13:50
Yep, hundred dollars.00:13:51
Right here.00:13:52
Yeah, right.00:13:53
What's the catch?00:13:54
No catch.00:13:55
You just let me crack these
three eggs over your head00:13:58
and this hundred dollar bill
is yours.00:13:59
What?00:14:00
You heard me.00:14:01
I crack these eggs
over your head00:14:03
and this hundred dollar bill
is yours.00:14:05
<i>FRIEND: Do it Tyler.</i>00:14:08
Come on, this is a joke, right?00:14:10
Here, your friend
can hold the bill.00:14:14
<i>FRIEND: It's real money man.</i>00:14:15
That's a lot of cash,
what gives?00:14:17
It may seem like a lot to you
but from where I come from,00:14:20
that's spare change.00:14:21
<i>BUDDIES: Just do it man,</i>
<i>Come on.</i>00:14:23
<i>Come on man, hundred bucks.</i>00:14:24
<i>Easy money bro.</i>00:14:25
<i>Three eggs.</i>00:14:26
<i>Do it, come on, yeah dude,</i>
<i>let's go.</i>00:14:29
Okay, go for it.00:14:30
What do I need to do?00:14:31
Just sit right there.00:14:33
<i>BUDDIES: Alright Tyler.</i>00:14:35
<i>That's what I'm talking about.</i>00:14:36
<i>Hundred bucks right here.</i>00:14:38
Here comes egg number one.00:14:42
[egg cracks]00:14:43
[friends laugh]00:14:46
Okay, and now egg number two,

Here we go.00:14:51

Alright, one more to go

<i>BUDDIES: A hundred bucks</i>
<i>let's go.</i>00:15:01
<i>Last one.</i>00:15:02
You know, I think two's enough.00:15:03
I'll just take this hundred.00:15:05
<i>BUDDIES: What?</i>00:15:06
Hey, that's my hundred?00:15:07
I said three eggs.00:15:08
I only did two.

[Phone rings]00:15:24
Marcus Kaman.00:15:25
Professor Kaman.00:15:26
Well hello Phil.00:15:28
Just calling to get your topic
for the October debate.00:15:31
I'd like to promo it at the one
we're doing tomorrow night.00:15:33
I thought we were going
in November?00:15:35
Originally yes,
but it got switched around.00:15:37
You didn't get the memo?00:15:38
No, I didn't.00:15:41
You mean to tell me there was
a communication breakdown00:15:43
between our journalism
department and yours, again?00:15:47
Imagine that.00:15:48
Phil, I don't even have
a topic yet.00:15:50
Can you give me a week or so?00:15:52
Yeah, I'll just say it's going
to be your department00:15:54
doing the next one.00:15:56
So, what are you
and Jason doing later?00:15:59
We're not.00:16:01
Is he busy or something?00:16:03
I don't know.00:16:06
Wait,
isn't he still calling you?00:16:09
Yesterday when we talked,00:16:10
he hinted that we were
just going to be friends.00:16:13
So.00:16:14
Oh.
I'm sorry.00:16:15
It's fine.00:16:16
He's just a friend.00:16:18
It was never anything more.00:16:21
I'm going to the library.00:16:22
[chair movement]00:16:26
You okay?00:16:28
Yeah, fine.00:16:30
See ya.00:16:32
[typing on a keyboard]00:16:36
How's the archiving
going buddy?00:16:38
It's going.00:16:39
He gave me five years to do
and I'm on year two.00:16:44
Sounds like world record
pace to me.00:16:45
Sounds like
a waste of time to me.00:16:47
Who's going read
these old things?00:16:49
You do know why
you're doing this, right?00:16:52
[Music]00:16:53
No idea.00:16:54
You put the articles online.00:16:55
The Alumni read them.00:16:57
Re-live their glory days
and donations go up.00:17:00
Couldn't have said
it better myself.00:17:02
Wait if that's what
this is all about,00:17:03
I should be getting a cut here.00:17:05
Evan you all set to cover the
debate tomorrow night right?00:17:07
Yes sir, I'll be there.00:17:09
I should get a cut
of this Mr. Jamison.00:17:12
And the University will be
indebted to you for your effort.00:17:15
[Music]00:17:21
No matter how times
I throw it to him00:17:22
and no matter how accurate I am,
he just can't catch it.00:17:26
Hey just, just give me
about 5 minutes00:17:31
and I'll meet you over
at the computers alright.00:17:33
[Music]00:17:49
A excuse me, can you tell me
if I'm in the right place00:17:50
to get breakfast?00:17:51
I was hoping to get
a couple of eggs.00:17:53
Oh hi.00:17:54
[both laugh]00:17:56
I thought we should be formally
introduced, Tyler Mathis.00:17:59
Rachel Whitaker.00:18:00
I'm really sorry
about what I did.00:18:02
What about that?00:18:03
Hey look anytime
a pretty girl comes up to me00:18:05
and says hey good looking,
that's all I need to hear.00:18:08
She can crack eggs
over my head anytime.00:18:10
You know who
put me up to it.00:18:13
Yeah, yeah I know.00:18:15
I'll get him back.00:18:16
Get him one for me
while you're at it will you?00:18:18
You got it.00:18:19
You mind if I sit
for a minute?00:18:21
Go ahead.00:18:22
[chair movement]00:18:24
Whatcha working on?00:18:25
A report for Biology.00:18:26
You got Kaman?00:18:27
I got Kaman.00:18:29
You know you don't have to do
any work in there right.00:18:31
All you have to do is show up
every time and you'll get a C.00:18:33
That's what he said.00:18:34
It's true.00:18:35
I had him last year.00:18:36
The man kept his word
and I am living proof.00:18:39
Well I need to get
better than a C.00:18:40
My major's Biology.00:18:42
Gotcha.00:18:46
So you are going to the debate
tomorrow night right?00:18:49
Debate?00:18:50
Yeah
at the Fine Arts Center.00:18:52
What debate? What is it?00:18:54
There's posters
everywhere.00:18:57
I haven't seen any.00:18:59
Well, there's one
right back there.00:19:02
Where?00:19:04
If you look just around the
corner next to the copy machine00:19:08
on the left, on the bulletin
board, there's a poster.00:19:10
I guess you missed it?00:19:12
Must have missed it.00:19:13
[Both laugh]00:19:14
And these are
can't miss events.00:19:16
First of all,
they're educational,00:19:17
which is what college
is all about.00:19:19
Second of all everybody goes
so they're social,00:19:21
which is what college
is all about.00:19:26
The debates are a must.00:19:29
[banging on table] I'm picking you up.00:19:31
What?00:19:33
You and me,
we're going to the debate.00:19:37
I don't--
I don't know.00:19:43
I think there's a certain
someone at this table00:19:46
that owes another someone
at this table a small favor.00:19:48
[Music]00:19:57
Good evening and welcome.00:19:59
Thank you all for coming.00:20:00
I'm Phil Jamison,
Professor of Journalism00:20:02
here at the university00:20:04
and I will also be your
moderator for this evening.00:20:05
Great crowd huh?00:20:07
Yeah,
glad we got here early.00:20:09
Yeah, I was afraid we wouldn't
going to get a seat.00:20:12
And tonight's debate is being
presented by our Math Department00:20:15
and so let me introduce
our two debaters to you now.00:20:18
[door closes]00:20:19
[Laughter]00:20:22
Thanks for walking me back.
It was fun.00:20:24
Hey, hey, any chance of us
doing something again?00:20:29
[Music] I don't know.00:20:31
Well you did crack
two eggs over my head00:20:33
so I feel like maybe
I should get two chances.00:20:36
You got me there.00:20:37
How about this weekend?00:20:38
No I can't.00:20:39
I'm visiting my parents
this weekend.00:20:41
Ah, yeah,
gotta do that.00:20:42
They are anxious
to see me.00:20:44
How about when you
get back?00:20:46
[Music]00:20:49
Yeah,
that could work.00:20:50
Well, okay then.00:20:52
I'll call you.00:20:54
Thanks for coming out
with me tonight and I'll see ya.00:20:57
See ya.00:20:59
Okay.00:21:01
[Music]00:21:14
[knocking on door]00:21:15
Dinner soon.00:21:16
Thanks Dad.00:21:17
You busy?00:21:18
Just sending
a text back to Tyler.00:21:20
Oh,
new boyfriend?00:21:22
He's a friend.00:21:23
I just met him.00:21:25
So, tell me more about
your classes?00:21:26
They're going good.00:21:27
I really like all
of my instructors,00:21:29
especially my Biology teacher
Professor Kaman.00:21:32
He's a riot.00:21:33
You and your roommate
getting along?00:21:34
Oh, yeah, Ally's great.00:21:35
We get along well.00:21:36
Good.00:21:37
You were always good
at making friends.00:21:40
Meeting new people
every day it seems.00:21:42
Did you find
a church yet?00:21:43
No not yet.00:21:44
I've just been so busy
getting used to everything.00:21:46
But I will.00:21:48
Come on, we're going to be
late for church.00:21:50
We need to go.00:21:51
[Footsteps] I'm here.00:21:52
Honey,
we live so close,00:21:53
it's embarrassing
when we're late.00:21:55
Stephen? Is also here.00:21:56
Let's go Rachel.00:21:57
We'll meet you
in the car Stephen.00:21:58
Okay.00:21:59
Dad, will you get
my Bible for me.00:22:00
Sure.00:22:01
[Footsteps]00:22:03
[Music]00:22:24
I'm headed out.00:22:26
It feels like
you just got here.00:22:27
I'll be back
to visit soon.00:22:28
[Sigh]00:22:30
Bye Dad.00:22:31
Love you.00:22:32
Drive careful.00:22:33
Love you too. [Music]00:22:35
Let us know
when you get there.00:22:37
<i>Rachel: I will.</i>00:22:38
[Music]00:22:45
[Starting car ignition]00:22:47
Bye.00:22:48
[Music]00:22:55
She seems
to be doing well.00:22:56
She's made some friends,
likes her classes.00:22:59
Seems to really like that one
with Professor Kaman.00:23:02
I'm glad.00:23:03
[Music]00:23:21
<i>STEPHEN: The guy's</i>
<i>an evolutionist</i>00:23:22
<i>and a big proponent</i>
<i>of it Pastor.</i>00:23:24
He's written several
published articles.00:23:25
I mean it's a long list.00:23:27
And there's nothing
in the whole course description00:23:29
about biblical creation as even
a plausible alternative00:23:32
from what I could see.00:23:33
Does that
surprise you?00:23:34
All our public schools
and universities00:23:36
teach evolution as the answer
to the origins of life.00:23:39
Even some of our
Christian schools00:23:40
are buying into
the evolution theory00:23:42
as part of the creation account.00:23:44
You're kidding.00:23:45
The attack on Genesis
is a real battleground.00:23:48
Well, I certainly
don't like the idea00:23:49
of Rachel sitting
under this guy in class.00:23:51
Have you had a chance
to speak to her about it?00:23:53
No not yet, but I will.00:23:56
Actually, she's not the one
I'd like to talk to.00:24:01
Mister Blair, may I dialogue
with you for a moment?00:24:04
Ah, yes sir.00:24:05
I understand you're here
on a track scholarship.00:24:08
You're a fifteen hundred
meter man.00:24:10
Yes I am.00:24:11
Congratulations.00:24:12
I use to do a bit of track
myself back in the day00:24:14
so I know a little of what
you guys go through.00:24:17
Do you mind my asking what's
your best time in that event?00:24:20
Ah, four-o-three.00:24:22
Four minutes and three seconds.00:24:23
That is very impressive running.00:24:25
That must be the best time
on your team.00:24:27
No.00:24:28
There's actually three guys
ahead of me right now.00:24:30
Three.00:24:31
Well then,
I guess you've got00:24:32
a little competition
ahead of you, don't you.00:24:34
[Class laughs]00:24:36
Yeah, I'll get 'em.00:24:37
That's the spirit.00:24:38
You got what ten teams
in the conference.00:24:40
I think so.00:24:42
No there are I checked.00:24:44
So, lets say there
are four fellas on each team00:24:46
running the fifteen hundred,
that's forty runners,00:24:48
where do you think
you'd place among them?00:24:51
Not sure sir.00:24:52
Thirtieth maybe?00:24:53
Could be.00:24:54
Well then I guess you got a lot
of competition ahead of you.00:24:57
[Class laughs]00:24:58
Yeah, yeah I guess so.00:25:00
Well you're a freshman,
we'll give you time to move up00:25:02
through the conference
which I am sure you will.00:25:05
Besides, we can look at this
whole thing from another angle.00:25:10
For one thing, Mr. Blair
can certainly outrun anyone00:25:12
in this class.00:25:13
But better than that,00:25:14
if he had run the
fifteen hundred meters00:25:16
in that kind of time
in the 1896 Olympics,00:25:20
he would have won gold.00:25:23
He'd won by thirty seconds.00:25:25
And if he had done the same
in 1904 Olympics,00:25:28
he would have won
by two seconds.00:25:30
Do you see
what's happening here?00:25:32
As we evolve, we're getting
faster, stronger, smarter.00:25:37
Look at the technological leaps
that have happened00:25:39
just in the last fifty years.00:25:42
Imagine what our species
is going to be like00:25:44
a hundred years from now.00:25:47
How cool would it be
to stick around to see that?00:25:50
[Music]00:25:55
Hey.00:25:56
I figured you'd be here.00:25:57
A few of us are going downtown
to grab a bite to eat00:25:59
and there's a jazz band playing.00:26:01
Why don't you call Tyler
and come with us?00:26:02
I can't, I just got here00:26:03
and I've got to finish this
for Kaman's class.00:26:05
<i>Ally: Can't you do it later?</i>00:26:07
<i>Its not due till Thursday. </i>00:26:08
<i>Rachel: I know.</i>00:26:09
<i>But I've got other work</i>
<i>to do too.</i>00:26:10
You're so studious.00:26:11
Okay, well if you change
your mind, call me.00:26:14
Okay. Have fun.00:26:17
You're taking
Kaman's class?00:26:19
Pardon.00:26:20
Sorry, couldn't help
but overhear.00:26:22
You're taking
Professor Kaman's class.00:26:23
Yes I am.00:26:25
You too? No, I had him
a couple of years ago.00:26:27
His class is so interesting.00:26:28
Didn't you like him?00:26:30
Like him, yeah.00:26:32
He's seems like a nice guy.00:26:33
Agree with him,
that's a different story.00:26:37
Don't you think Professor Kaman
has some good concepts.00:26:39
He could be right.00:26:42
It looks you've got
a lot work to do,00:26:43
and I was just on
my way out myself, so.00:26:47
By the way, my name's Evan,
Evan Carlson.00:26:49
Nice to meet you...00:26:51
Rachel Whitaker.00:26:53
Alright, see around
Rachel Whitaker.00:26:56
Yeah, see ya.00:26:57
[Music]00:27:00
By the way Rachel.00:27:01
[Music]00:27:02
He's not right.00:27:04
[Music]00:27:10
<i>Luke: You sure those girls</i>
<i>are going to be there?</i>00:27:12
<i>Jason:</i> <i>They</i> <i>told</i> <i>me</i>
<i>they</i> <i>were</i> <i>coming.</i>00:27:13
<i>Luke:</i> <i>Just</i> <i>remember,</i>
<i>I</i> <i>get</i> <i>first</i> <i>pick.</i>00:27:15
<i>Jason: Yeah, right.</i>00:27:16
<i>You'll be lucky if one of them</i>
<i>even says hi to you.</i>00:27:18
<i>Tyler: Don't worry Luke, </i>
<i>Jason ain't going to get anybody</i>00:27:20
<i>so you'll get your pick.</i>00:27:22
<i>Jason: Okay, how about</i>
<i>you worry about</i>00:27:23
<i>your own deal you got going on.</i>00:27:24
<i>Luke: Tyler still playing</i>
<i>that game with Rachel?</i>00:27:26
<i>Jason:</i> <i>Oh</i> <i>yeah,</i>
<i>and</i> <i>striking</i> <i>out.</i>00:27:28
<i>Tyler: Actually, we're building</i>
<i>a meaningful relationship, </i>00:27:31
<i>something you two amateurs</i>
<i>wouldn't know anything about.</i>00:27:33
<i>Jason:</i> <i>Which</i> <i>after</i>
<i>translation</i> <i>means,</i>00:27:35
<i>he's not getting anywhere.</i>00:27:37
<i>Come on Tyler man, I told you,</i>
<i>you should just dump her.</i>00:27:39
Look boys.00:27:40
I'm not just going
to let someone crack00:27:42
two eggs over my head
and come away empty.00:27:44
Alright? I'm just not as impatient
as Jason over here.00:27:47
My little plan
will play out.00:27:49
Just wait and see.00:27:50
I just talked to Rachel,00:27:51
I told her I could take
the day off tomorrow00:27:53
and we'd ride up
for a quick visit.00:27:54
She said she'd love to have us.00:27:56
We'll take her out to early
dinner and then drive back.00:27:58
<i>KIMBERLY: Up and back</i>
<i>in one day?</i>00:27:59
Don't worry, I'll drive,
you can sleep on the way home.00:28:02
[Knocking on door]00:28:05
[Door opening]00:28:08
Hi Mom. Hi honey.00:28:09
I can't believe you guys
decided to come up here today.00:28:12
Well, it was your father's idea.00:28:13
Where is Dad?00:28:15
[Knocking on door]00:28:16
Professor Kaman?00:28:17
Yes.00:28:18
My name is
Stephen Whitaker.00:28:19
May I speak with you
for a moment?00:28:21
Sure.
I'm sorry, have we met?00:28:23
No, but my daughter is in
your freshman Biology class.00:28:26
Rachel Whitaker.00:28:27
Ah Rachel.00:28:28
She's a pleasure
to have in class.00:28:30
Thank you.00:28:31
Professor Kaman,
I don't mean to come off00:28:33
so direct
or with any disrespect,00:28:35
but I'm concerned about what
you're teaching in your class.00:28:38
Is that so?00:28:40
[Pen dropping]00:28:41
Can you give me an example?00:28:42
Well, it seems your class
deals quite a bit00:28:44
with the subject of evolution.00:28:46
Yes it does.00:28:47
Can you explain to me
why you teach only evolution?00:28:49
Sure, but first let me
ask you Mr. Whitaker,00:28:53
are you a religious man?00:28:55
A religious man?00:28:56
Well you believe in God
and the Bible.00:28:58
Yes sir I do.00:28:59
And does that help you?00:29:01
Help me?00:29:02
Does that help you to be
at peace with yourself?00:29:04
Yes it does.00:29:06
Well then I think that's great00:29:07
and I would encourage you
to go on believing.00:29:10
But you're teaching evolution.00:29:12
Mr. Whitaker, I teach what
my textbooks tells me to teach.00:29:16
It comes from real people who
have conducted real experiments00:29:19
and observed real evidence00:29:21
and frankly,
I'm at peace with that.00:29:24
But it goes against
the core beliefs00:29:25
of everything we've been
teaching Rachel all her life,00:29:28
against what Christianity
stands for.00:29:30
Dad.00:29:31
Hello Rachel.00:29:32
What are you
doing here?00:29:33
I came by to talk
to your instructor.00:29:36
But why?00:29:37
Well I just wanted to stop
by for a minute.00:29:39
[Chair movement]00:29:40
Hello Rachel.00:29:41
Professor Kaman.00:29:42
Mr. Whitaker, I've got to meet
with another student momentarily00:29:46
so I'm afraid we're going to
have to pick up this discussion00:29:48
at another time.00:29:49
But I tell you what.00:29:50
You strongly believe00:29:51
in the creation story
from the Bible, right?00:29:54
Yes, that's correct
but I don't call it a story.00:29:56
Every month the university
sponsors a debate00:29:59
that is also open to the public.00:30:01
My Department will be hosting
the next one on October 19th.00:30:04
Why don't you and I
debate this issue?00:30:08
It would be a great opportunity
for you to express your views.00:30:12
They're moderated,
they're orderly.00:30:14
Evolution versus Creationism.00:30:15
What do you say?00:30:17
No, I couldn't do that.00:30:18
I mean, I never intended to -00:30:19
Professor Kaman,
my dad can't debate you.00:30:22
Rachel, your father has
the passion of his beliefs,00:30:25
that's what makes
for a great debate.00:30:27
You can read off a prepared
text, that's done all the time.00:30:31
But, Dad you can't.00:30:33
Now wait a minute
Professor Kaman.00:30:35
I did not come here
with any intention00:30:36
of doing a debate with you.00:30:38
I understand Mr. Whitaker.00:30:39
It's just that I think
this topic would be00:30:41
so valuable for the students.00:30:44
And you do believe
in your viewpoint, don't you?00:30:48
[Music]00:30:52
I can't believe Dad agreed
to debate Professor Kaman.00:30:54
Mom, you've got to stop this.00:30:55
The man cornered me Rachel.00:30:57
What was I
supposed to say?00:30:58
You could have said no.00:30:59
This man obviously
has no respect for God00:31:01
or anything
that we believe in.00:31:03
But Professor Kaman doesn't
claim to be a Christian either.00:31:06
Do you know how embarrassing
this is going to be for me?00:31:08
I don't want to embarrass
anyone, especially you.00:31:11
Dad, you're not going to convert
Professor Kaman to your beliefs00:31:14
so why even try?00:31:15
Actually, it's not his beliefs
that I am concerned about.00:31:17
What's that supposed to mean?00:31:19
I feel this man
is affecting you Rachel.00:31:21
That he's causing you
to change your views.00:31:23
That's ridiculous.00:31:24
Mom, say something.00:31:25
Honey, your father's just
concerned about you that's all.00:31:28
I can't believe
this is happening.00:31:29
And I'm certainly not happy
with what this Kaman guy00:31:31
is teaching you.00:31:32
[Music]00:31:33
Let's just go to dinner.00:31:35
[Music]00:31:40
[Phone ringing]00:31:43
Phil Jamison.00:31:44
<i>KAMAN: Marcus Kaman.</i>00:31:45
Professor.00:31:47
Hey Phil, I think I've got
the topic for the next debate.00:31:50
How does evolution
versus creationism sound?00:31:53
Ah ha, well unless
you changed teams,00:31:56
I know what side
you fall on.00:31:57
We'll note it on
the calendar of events.00:31:59
It seems some of my views
are being challenged.00:32:02
<i>JAMISON: Now who</i>
<i>in their right mind</i>00:32:04
would challenge
anything you say.00:32:06
The father of one
of my students.00:32:08
<i>JAMISON: The plot thickens.</i>00:32:09
Yeah, I got a religious dad
who doesn't like his little girl00:32:12
thinking for herself.00:32:14
I see.00:32:15
I might have to do
a little publicity on this00:32:17
just to build the crowd.00:32:18
Well, I got his name and number
right here if you need them.00:32:21
Yeah, no problem,
here you go.00:32:25
Evan, got our topic
for the next debate,00:32:27
and I think this one
will be of interest to you.00:32:29
It seems the father
of one of the students00:32:31
is challenging
Professor Kaman.00:32:33
Evolution versus Creationism.00:32:35
I wanna do a story on this00:32:37
prior to the debate
and build it up.00:32:39
There's the father's
contact information.00:32:40
See what you can find out,
you know his purpose, motive,00:32:42
what he hopes to accomplish.00:32:43
I'll get Shane to do
the same thing00:32:45
with Professor Kaman.00:32:46
Okay sir, will do.00:32:47
Who knows,
maybe we can get00:32:48
some community interest
on this one.00:32:51
[Music]00:32:53

Before we begin today,00:32:57
I'd like to make a
brief announcement.00:32:59
Each month the University
sponsors a debate00:33:01
at the Fine Arts Center00:33:03
and our department
will be hosting the next one.00:33:05
Yours truly will be taking part00:33:07
as it's a topic that is near
and dear to my heart,00:33:11
evolution versus creationism.00:33:14
Now we have a slightly
unusual situation this time00:33:16
in that my debate opponent00:33:18
is the father of one
of the students in this class,00:33:22
Miss Rachel Whitaker.00:33:24
I don't doubt that Miss Whitaker
finds this situation00:33:27
a little embarrassing
but I want her to know00:33:29
that she has my complete
support at this time00:33:32
when she is beginning
to think for herself.00:33:35
I just wanted the rest of you
to be aware of the situation,00:33:38
and I hope you're all planning
on coming to the debate00:33:41
as a part of your participation
in this course.00:33:46
Okay?
Let's get to work,00:33:47
open your books
to chapter six.00:33:50
[Music]00:33:54
We just left after dinner.00:33:55
I felt it best to give
her some time.00:33:56
She was pretty upset.00:33:58
I agree, sometimes
it is the right thing to do.00:34:00
Maybe I shouldn't
have accepted00:34:02
but I felt
put on the spot.00:34:03
Now I feel like
Rachel's against me00:34:04
because of this.00:34:05
She's not against you Stephen.00:34:07
Plus I'm not a public speaker
like he is.00:34:08
I've never done anything
like this before.00:34:10
Look, you know we're here
to help you any way we can.00:34:14
I appreciate that.00:34:15
[Footsteps]00:34:33
Rachel, right?00:34:35
My name's Evan.00:34:36
We met the other day.00:34:37
Can I talk to you
for a minute?00:34:38
Not right now,
I'm got a lot on my mind.00:34:41
Is your father's name Stephen?00:34:43
I can't believe my father went
to see one of my Professors00:34:46
and then like some
self-righteous fundamentalist00:34:48
gets into a discussion about
creation and evolution.00:34:51
I'm sorry you're so upset.00:34:53
I mean, do you have any idea00:34:54
how embarrassing this
is going to be for me?00:34:56
Rachel, I wouldn't be looking
at it like that.00:34:58
How would you like it
if your parent00:34:59
was going to debate the most
popular Professor on campus?00:35:02
Put yourself in my shoes.00:35:03
I understand,00:35:04
but I don't necessarily think
it's a bad thing.00:35:06
It's not like
Professor Kaman's preaching00:35:07
some sort of gospel
truth here.00:35:09
I've gotta stop this.00:35:10
[Chair movement]00:35:12
[Phone ringing]00:35:15
It's Rachel.00:35:16
[Phone ringing]00:35:17
Rachel.00:35:18
<i>RACHEL: Hi Dad.</i>00:35:19
I'm calling to ask you
to please stop this debate.00:35:22
Rachel we were
just talking about you.00:35:24
I am glad you called.00:35:25
This is going to ruin me
on campus Dad.00:35:28
<i>STEPHEN: I am not trying </i>
<i>to hurt you.</i>00:35:29
But you are.00:35:30
Rachel, this is
an important issue.00:35:32
You're not going to change
Professor Kaman's mind.00:35:35
Then how does he believe
the universe was created?00:35:37
What does he teach you in class?00:35:38
That there was a big bang
or something.00:35:40
Dad, if you love me,
you will stop this debate.00:35:44
Please don't say that.00:35:45
You must stop this debate.00:35:46
Rachel please.00:35:47
You must stop it!00:35:49
[Music]00:35:52
She hung up.00:35:53
[Sigh]00:35:54
You can't leave it like that.00:35:56
You gotta call her back.00:35:57
[Music]00:35:59
[Phone ringing]00:36:00
<i>RACHEL: Hi,</i>
<i>this is Rachel Whitaker,</i>00:36:02
<i>I'm not here right now--</i>00:36:03
Voicemail.00:36:04
[Music]00:36:13
Hey.00:36:14
Hey. I set up a meeting
with Professor Kaman00:36:16
to do that interview.00:36:17
Did you talk to
that father yet?00:36:18
Oh no, I was getting
ready to call him.00:36:20
Before you do,00:36:21
I think you should
check this out.00:36:22
What?00:36:24
Professor Kaman was
in the news yesterday.00:36:26
Front page story.00:36:27
We didn't run a story
on Kaman yesterday.00:36:29
Yeah, well we did
twelve years ago.00:36:32
It appears our dear Professor00:36:33
got one of his colleagues
fired over this same issue.00:36:36
What?00:36:37
Yeah, some instructor
named Portland00:36:39
refused to teach evolution
in his biology class00:36:41
and Kaman got him ousted.00:36:43
It's all there.00:36:44
[Music]00:36:46
Oh and by the way,
when you talk to that Dad,00:36:50
tell him I said good luck.00:36:51
[Music]00:36:56
<i>STEPHEN: Listen to what</i> <i>it says</i>
<i>in</i> <i>this</i> <i>high</i> <i>school</i> <i>textbook</i>00:36:57
<i>I picked up at the library.</i>00:36:59
"Humans came
from apelike ancestors.00:37:01
"There is nothing supernatural
about the origins00:37:04
of human beings."00:37:05
How can they say that
and get away with it?00:37:07
I don't know but they are.00:37:08
[The phone rings]00:37:10
Stephen Whitaker.00:37:12
<i>EVAN: Mr. Whitaker.</i>00:37:13
This is Evan Carlson,
calling from the University.00:37:15
I am a student on staff
at the campus paper here00:37:17
and our editor wants to do
a preliminary story00:37:19
about the upcoming debate.00:37:21
Would you be able
to meet up sir?00:37:22
Meet?00:37:23
Well I live about
three hours from there.00:37:25
Yes, I know.00:37:26
I was thinking we could
meet halfway.00:37:27
Can't we just take care of this
over the phone?00:37:30
I know Rachel sir
and I'm aware of the situation.00:37:34
I'm a Christian,
and I'm on your side.00:37:36
I've got some information that
may prove to be helpful to you00:37:38
but I'd rather talk to you
about it in person.00:37:40
[Birds chirping]00:37:42
<i>EVAN: Kaman is smart </i>
<i>and clever.</i>00:37:44
<i>He'll take what you say,</i>
<i>twist it around,</i>00:37:45
<i>question you, </i>
<i>corner you.</i>00:37:46
<i>I've seen him debate before</i>
<i>and he is good at it.</i>00:37:50
<i>STEPHEN: And I've never debated</i>
<i>anyone before in my life. </i>00:37:52
<i>Sounds like </i>
<i>a mismatch to me.</i>00:37:55
<i>How</i> <i>many</i> <i>people</i> <i>have </i>
<i>come</i> <i>to</i> <i>these</i> <i>events?</i>00:37:56
<i>EVAN: Normally not many,</i>
<i>twenty five, thirty,</i>00:37:58
<i>but there will be</i>
<i>more at this one</i>00:38:00
<i>especially since</i>
<i>Kaman's doing it.</i>00:38:02
<i>He'll probably make all</i>
<i>his classes attend as well.</i>00:38:04
<i>STEPHEN: Much to Rachel's</i>
<i>delight I'm sure. </i>00:38:06
EVAN: <i>Plus</i> <i>the</i> <i>editor</i> <i>is</i> <i>running</i>
<i>this</i> <i>story</i> <i>before</i> <i>the</i> <i>debate</i>00:38:09
<i>which isn't normal,</i>00:38:10
<i>and he is planning to contact</i>
<i>the local media,</i>00:38:13
<i>could</i> <i>get</i> <i>a</i> <i>pretty</i>
<i>good</i> <i>audience.</i>00:38:15
<i>STEPHEN:</i> <i>Great.</i>
<i>More</i> <i>pressure. </i>00:38:17
<i>EVAN: Look, I got some material</i>
<i>in the car with good information</i>00:38:19
<i>on</i> <i>science</i> <i>from</i> <i>a</i>
<i>Biblical</i> <i>perspective,</i>00:38:21
I'll give it to you.00:38:22
Thanks.
Appreciate it.00:38:23
We can sit here.00:38:26
You seem pretty serious
about this.00:38:28
Maybe you should be
the one debating Kaman.00:38:31
God didn't give me
the opportunity sir.00:38:34
He gave it to you and I think
what you're doing is great.00:38:39
Rachel sure doesn't.00:38:41
I found out something
interesting.00:38:43
Twelve years ago at the
University there was an incident00:38:45
involving Kaman and another
Professor on the same subject.00:38:50
Joseph G. Portland.00:38:52
Portland used to teach
Kaman's class,00:38:54
except for he taught creation.00:38:55
Kaman joined the
university staff that year,00:38:57
didn't like it
and got him fired.00:38:59
That's Portland's contact info.00:39:01
He lives nearby.00:39:02
Maybe you could
give him a call.00:39:04
Or even try
to go see him.00:39:05
He could offer
some good insight.00:39:07
I'll keep this in mind.00:39:09
And now I do have
several questions00:39:10
I'd need to ask you
for the article.00:39:11
Sure.00:39:12
I think it's interesting
you chose to meet here.00:39:16
I figured it was
about halfway.00:39:18
This place is very
special to me.00:39:21
What do you mean?00:39:22
Let me show you something.00:39:24
[Music]00:39:27
This is about the spot.00:39:30
When Rachel
was ten years old,00:39:31
we were spending
the day here together00:39:32
and she was over
by this river playing.00:39:34
I remember she was
looking for stones00:39:36
that she could throw
in the river.00:39:37
Suddenly though,
she found a fifty cent piece00:39:40
lying on the ground00:39:41
and just after she reached down
and picked it up,00:39:43
a boy grabbed her hand
and took it from her.00:39:46
I saw this from over there
and noticed how he taunted her00:39:49
as he walked away and went
back towards his father.00:39:52
Rachel of course was
upset over losing the coin00:39:54
because she found it first and
came over to complain to me.00:39:57
[Music continues]00:39:58
I then tried to use that
incident as an example.00:40:03
I told her it was wrong for the
boy to take that coin from her00:40:05
and that stealing was a sin.00:40:06
But, I also pointed out
to her how all of us00:40:10
have sinned against God
in our own lives.00:40:13
In essence, we've stolen
many coins from Him.00:40:15
And the only one who can forgive
us for our sins is Jesus.00:40:20
Rachel seemed
to understand this,00:40:23
we prayed to
the Lord together00:40:25
and I believe that day
she became a Christian.00:40:28
[Music continues]00:40:30
That's great.00:40:31
[Music continues]00:40:33
Hard for me to believe someone
is now causing my little girl00:40:35
to drift away from
what she's been taught.00:40:38
[Music]00:40:40
Let's go over
to that picnic table00:40:41
and I'll answer those
questions for you.00:40:44
[Music]00:40:53
[Kimberly chopping veggies]00:40:56
Oh hey,
how'd it go?00:40:57
It went well.00:40:58
Evan's a committed believer
and was very helpful.00:41:00
I need to make
a quick phone call00:41:01
and then I'll tell you
more about it.00:41:03
Okay.00:41:04
[Footsteps]00:41:12
[dialing]00:41:19
[phone ringing]00:41:28
Hello.00:41:29
<i>STEPHEN: Professor Portland?</i>00:41:31
This is he.00:41:32
Hi, my name is Stephen Whitaker
and I have an unusual situation00:41:36
I'd like to speak
to about for a moment.00:41:38
What is this pertaining to?00:41:39
Well, first,
I am a Christian00:41:41
and my daughter goes to the
university you used to teach at.00:41:44
That's right I don't
teach anymore.00:41:46
<i>STEPHEN: Yes sir, I know.</i>00:41:47
The reason I am calling is
because she's taking a class00:41:50
from a Professor Kaman and
I'd like to ask you about him.00:41:53
I'm not interested
in discussing anything00:41:55
having to do with the name
you just mentioned.00:41:57
But I have a debate scheduled
with Professor Kaman00:42:00
on the subject of creation
versus evolution00:42:02
and I was hoping
you could help me.00:42:04
I said I'm not interested.00:42:05
[Music]00:42:07
[Music]00:42:08
Hello, Professor?00:42:11
[Music]00:42:19
Tyler,
what am I going to do?00:42:21
You might have to
let him do it.00:42:23
No.00:42:25
Well look, first of all,00:42:26
nobody goes to those
things anyway.00:42:28
You told me everyone went
to them when we first met.00:42:31
I wanted you to think that
I was into stuff like that,00:42:34
you know, with you studying
in the library.00:42:36
Look, you saw how many
people were there.00:42:40
I've been to a couple
of them before00:42:41
and they're lucky
if they get ten people.00:42:45
Listen Rach, nobody takes
those debates seriously00:42:49
so if I were you
I'd stop worrying about it.00:42:52
But what you do need
to take seriously00:42:54
is our flag football party
coming up weekend after next.00:42:57
Stay in your dorm from now
until after the debate,00:43:00
but that Saturday night,
you're with me.00:43:02
Okay?00:43:05
Okay? Okay.00:43:07
Good.00:43:10
Now, if it will make you
feel better,00:43:11
call your Dad one more time.00:43:14
[Stephen's phone rings]00:43:15
Rachel?00:43:16
Dad, I am calling again00:43:17
to ask you to please not
do this debate.00:43:19
<i>STEPHEN: But Rachel.</i>00:43:20
You debating Professor Kaman
is not going to solve anything.00:43:23
Rachel, honey,
you don't know everything00:43:25
your Professor believes.00:43:26
I've been doing
a lot of research,00:43:27
reading some of the reports
he's published.00:43:30
This guy stands against
everything that we believe in.00:43:32
Evan told me some things
about him also.00:43:35
Evan?00:43:36
How do you know Evan?00:43:37
[Music]00:43:50
You went and met
with my father.00:43:51
Gave him books,
talked to him about Kaman.00:43:53
You're encouraging him?00:43:54
Hold on, first of all,
I had to speak with your father00:43:57
since the editor assigned me
to do a story on the debate.00:43:59
And of course
I'm encouraging him.00:44:01
This is an opportunity
for the truth.00:44:03
My father is no match
for Professor Kaman00:44:05
and you know it.00:44:06
Your father might do
better than you think.00:44:08
I don't know how I get myself
into these situations.00:44:10
<i>EVAN:</i> <i>I</i> <i>can</i> <i>answer</i> <i>that</i> <i>one.</i>00:44:11
You let Kaman
play with your mind.00:44:13
Professor Kaman
is a very intelligent man00:44:15
who makes good points.00:44:16
No, Kaman's a
gifted communicator00:44:18
who only makes it seem like
he's making good points.00:44:21
Did he do the chicken
and the egg thing yet?00:44:22
Yes.00:44:23
<i>EVAN: And he said</i>
<i>the egg, right?</i>00:44:24
Then gave you some line
about scientific research00:44:26
and the fossil record.00:44:27
And what if he's correct?00:44:28
Rachel, think about it.00:44:30
Life comes from life.00:44:32
It doesn't come
from non-life.00:44:33
God created the chicken first,
just like the Bible says,00:44:36
and then set it up so that life
could reproduce itself.00:44:38
Kaman doesn't believe in God
so he teaches the opposite.00:44:40
Come on Evan.00:44:41
You're not helping.00:44:42
Just answer me
this one question.00:44:44
Did God create this world00:44:45
or did it come about through
evolution like Kaman says?00:44:47
Evan.00:44:48
Just answer
the question, please?00:44:50
No.00:44:52
I'm not going to answer that.00:44:55
You just did.00:44:57
Just forget it.00:44:58
[Music]00:45:21
I just don't think I have
a good enough handle00:45:22
on this subject.00:45:24
Stephen, you know enough,
just share it.00:45:26
That's all you need to do.00:45:28
I don't know.00:45:30
This outline you've shown me
is good and you won't be alone.00:45:33
A group of us from the church
are coming to support you.00:45:36
Thanks.00:45:37
Professor Kaman will probably00:45:38
get all of his students
to attend,00:45:40
and I don't think
too many of them00:45:41
are going to be
rooting for me.00:45:43
[Music]00:45:51
[Car door slams]00:45:52
[Music continues]00:46:06
Hey.00:46:07
[Things sifting]00:46:08
Hey, I thought you were
going to Tyler's game.00:46:10
I have too much work to do.00:46:12
I'm going to the library.00:46:13
Maybe I can find a
corner to hide in.00:46:14
Rachel, not all
the students agree00:46:16
with professor Kaman.00:46:17
Yeah?00:46:18
Cuz the only guy around here
I know of who doesn't, is Evan.00:46:24
She's going through a
mini-crisis, that's all.00:46:27
Dude, just admit that you
guessed wrong and move on.00:46:29
Yeah, we won't hold it
against ya.00:46:30
I didn't guess wrong.00:46:32
She's interested!00:46:34
I just didn't expect this deal
with her Dad popping up.00:46:36
You're wasting your time.00:46:38
Plus she's way too religious.00:46:40
She can't be that religious
if she's with Tyler.00:46:42
[Luke and Jason Laughs]00:46:43
Alright look,
our flag football party00:46:44
is next weekend.00:46:45
That will be the night
I make my move.00:46:47
Then I'll let you know
how religious she is.00:46:51
[Horse sounds]00:46:52
<i>PORTLAND: I don't know why</i>
<i>you're wasting your time</i>00:46:53
<i>driving all the way out here,</i>00:46:55
<i>didn't I say</i>
<i>I wasn't interested.</i>00:46:56
Well sir, I thought
if I could explain00:46:58
the situation to you in person.00:46:59
I know the situation.00:47:01
Kaman is brainwashing
your daughter's mind00:47:03
like he does all the students
that take his classes.00:47:05
I was hoping you could
give me some insight00:47:06
that would help me prepare.00:47:08
Why are you debating him?00:47:09
It wasn't my idea.00:47:11
What he challenged you
and you accepted?00:47:12
[Stephen Sighs]00:47:13
If I were you,
I'd get out of it.00:47:15
I was hoping
you could help me.00:47:16
I mean you know
the topic so well.00:47:17
Read a book,
lot of good ones out there.00:47:19
But you know Kaman.00:47:22
I want nothing to do
with that man.00:47:24
That was a long time ago.00:47:28
That university was my life.00:47:31
I wasn't going to teach
evolutionary lies00:47:32
from those textbooks.00:47:33
Then one day because of Kaman,
it all gets taken away.00:47:36
Maybe it got taken away00:47:38
because you were making
an impact for the Lord.00:47:40
This is a battle we're in.00:47:41
I lost mine.00:47:43
Professor Portland,
there are so many people00:47:46
that you could be influencing
with your life00:47:48
and the gifts that
God has given you.00:47:49
I haven't taught at that
university for twelve years.00:47:52
I'm out of the game.00:47:53
We should never stop trying
to share the Lord with people.00:47:56
You remember,
for God so loved the world.00:47:58
I said I'm out of the game.00:48:00
I'm trying to forget this,
not relive it.00:48:04
Would you please leave?00:48:08
But Professor Portland.00:48:09
I asked you to leave.00:48:11
[Music]00:48:15
I don't believe the lies either00:48:17
but it still comes down
to a choice we all make.00:48:21
And by the way,00:48:22
a Christian is never
out of the game.00:48:24
[Music continues]00:48:30
You got nothing from Portland?00:48:32
Nothing.00:48:33
He still seems bitter
about the whole thing.00:48:35
He asked me to leave.00:48:36
Well Mr. Jamison's contacted
some of the local media.00:48:39
It looks like they're going
to pick up on it.00:48:40
[Music continues]00:48:44
Mr. Whitaker?00:48:46
You still there?00:48:47
[Music continues]00:48:48
Yes, I'm here.00:48:50
You have people praying
for you sir.00:48:52
You have supporters.00:48:54
Just makes it tough when I know
Rachel's not one of them.00:48:58
Thanks Evan,
I'll talk to you later.00:49:01
Alright bye.00:49:02
[Music continues]00:49:17
Hey, I'll catch up
with you later.00:49:19
Uh, excuse me,00:49:21
your Dad's the guy that's gonna
debate Kaman, right?00:49:23
Why do you ask?00:49:24
I'm in your Bio class.00:49:26
Why would anybody
wanna debate Kaman?00:49:28
He doesn't.00:49:29
I don't want him to.00:49:30
Have you ever see
that thing Kaman does00:49:32
where he shows
how we all came from apes?00:49:34
Pardon?00:49:35
How we all came from apes.00:49:37
What is it?00:49:38
How do you know?00:49:39
I stayed after class one day
heard him go through it.00:49:41
He'll make your father
look like a complete idiot00:49:43
with that example.00:49:44
Look I told you
I don't want him to do it.00:49:45
Excuse me,
couldn't help but overhear.00:49:47
Are you talking about
Professor Kaman00:49:49
when he goes
through his routine00:49:50
about how we all
came from apes?00:49:52
Yeah.
Have you seen it?00:49:53
Yeah, I've seen it.00:49:54
I thought it was great.00:49:56
[Evan snickering]00:49:57
Let me ask you something,00:49:58
does your mother
look like an ape?00:50:01
What'd you say?00:50:02
Does your mother
look like an ape?00:50:04
Watch it man.00:50:05
I'll assume that's a no.00:50:07
How about your grandmother?00:50:08
Does she look like an ape?00:50:09
What?
Man, who are you?00:50:12
I'll take that as another no.00:50:13
So your mother
doesn't look like an ape00:50:15
and neither does
your grandmother.00:50:17
How about your
great grandmother,00:50:18
do pictures go that
far back in your family,00:50:20
does she look like an ape?00:50:21
What's your deal man?00:50:23
Kaman says we all
come from apes.00:50:24
So which one in your
family was the monkey?00:50:29
I got news for you.00:50:30
You can take it
all the way back00:50:31
to the very first man
and woman, Adam and Eve,00:50:34
and guess what,
no one was ever an ape.00:50:37
You know why? Cause apes come from apes
and humans come from humans.00:50:41
Now, who's going to make who
look like a complete idiot?00:50:45
[Music continues]00:50:49
Whatever.00:50:50
[Music continues]00:50:52
I don't need you to defend me.00:50:54
[Music continues]00:50:57
I wasn't defending you.00:50:58
[Music continues]00:51:22
My picture and everything.00:51:24
Hey, I know a good story
when it comes my way.00:51:27
I'm getting some
great feedback already.00:51:29
I'd say you and your team put
together a very nice article.00:51:32
Thank you, I'm shooting
for a full house on this one.00:51:35
I just hope your
opponent shows up.00:51:37
Any reason to think he won't?00:51:39
No. But I've got a feeling
after this debate is done,00:51:42
he'll wish he'd stayed home.00:51:44
Hah.
You're too kind.00:51:46
I'll see you
Thursday night.00:51:47
<i>JASON:</i> <i>Look,</i> <i>its</i> <i>not</i> <i>that</i> <i>hard.</i>00:51:49
<i>All you gotta do</i>
<i>is memorize this stuff</i>00:51:51
<i>and then after the test</i>
<i>you can just forget it.</i>00:51:53
<i>That's what Tyler and I do.</i>00:51:54
<i>LUKE: This is so stupid.</i>00:51:56
<i>How's</i> <i>this</i> <i>ever</i>
<i>gonna</i> <i>help</i> <i>you</i> <i>in life?</i>00:51:57
<i>JASON:</i> <i>It's</i> <i>not,</i> <i>that's</i> <i>why</i> <i>we</i>
<i>memorize</i> <i>and</i> <i>then</i> <i>we</i> <i>forget.</i>00:52:00
<i>Just like I keep telling Tyler,</i>00:52:01
<i>you've just gotta forget</i>
<i>that Rachel girl.</i>00:52:03
<i>But you know him,</i>
<i>he'll hang in there.</i>00:52:06
<i>LUKE: Maybe he really likes her.</i>00:52:07
<i>JASON: He likes her</i>
<i>because she's cute.</i>00:52:08
<i>That's all.</i>00:52:09
<i>LUKE: I wouldn't let anyone</i>
<i>crack eggs over my head.</i>00:52:11
<i>I don't care how cute she is.</i>00:52:12
<i>JASON:</i> <i>Yeah,</i> <i>Tyler</i>
<i>and</i> <i>his</i> <i>stupid</i> <i>plan.</i>00:52:14
<i>Well we'll see what happens</i>00:52:15
<i>at the flag football party</i>
<i>this weekend,</i>00:52:17
<i>that's when he's supposed</i>
<i>to make his move.</i>00:52:19
<i>Eventually he'll see</i>
<i>I was right about her.</i>00:52:21
[Music continues]00:52:35
What is so important00:52:36
that you need to talk
to me right now?00:52:38
Could we sit down
for a minute?00:52:39
Come on Evan.00:52:40
Could we just sit down
for a minute please.00:52:50
What?00:52:52
Rachel,
I'm sorry to bother you00:52:53
but I need
to tell you something.00:52:54
What you need to do00:52:55
is talk my Dad out
of doing this debate.00:52:58
You should really listen
to yourself sometime.00:53:00
Kaman's sure done
a number on you.00:53:01
Why are you so against
Professor Kaman?00:53:04
Does this sound familiar?00:53:05
Just show up and get a C.00:53:07
What?00:53:08
Kaman's class.00:53:09
He'll give you a C
as your final grade00:53:10
if you just show up
without doing any work.00:53:12
Didn't you ever
wonder about that?00:53:13
I mean no other
teacher does it.00:53:14
Maybe that's why he's the most
popular instructor on campus.00:53:17
Or the one with
the biggest agenda.00:53:18
What do mean by that?00:53:20
He teaches his evolution lies00:53:22
to get students to doubt their
faith in God and the Bible.00:53:24
So, you're saying
I'm not a Christian now.00:53:26
You tell me.00:53:27
I mean, just the other day
you wouldn't even admit00:53:29
that God created the world.00:53:31
I know God created the world.00:53:32
Yeah.00:53:33
Committed to that truth?00:53:36
Then why are you all over your
Dad for wanting to defend it?00:53:44
He's just never done anything
like this before.00:53:48
You know why is it
that one Christian00:53:49
wants to take a stand
for his faith00:53:50
and the next one doesn't?00:53:52
Why do some Christians
have convictions about things00:53:54
and others don't?00:53:57
Maybe the difference lies in how
we first came to the Lord.00:53:59
Was it by addition
or submission?00:54:02
What do you mean by that?00:54:04
It seems to me that a lot of
people have just added Jesus00:54:06
to their life,
but that's not it.00:54:09
You can't just add Jesus
to your life,00:54:10
you must submit
your life to Him.00:54:13
There's a big difference.00:54:15
So you are saying
I'm not a Christian?00:54:17
Only you can answer that one.00:54:19
Just leave me alone.00:54:20
You can't leave yet.00:54:21
Yes I can.00:54:22
Rachel,
I came to tell you something.00:54:23
I'm not interested.00:54:25
Tyler's the one
not interested.00:54:28
[Music]00:54:29
Having you crack
those eggs over his head00:54:31
was a set up.00:54:32
I just overheard
two of his buddies00:54:33
talking about it in the library.00:54:36
And that flag football party
this weekend,00:54:38
that's when he's going
to make his move.00:54:39
[Music continues]00:54:41
Rachel, Tyler only
spends time with you00:54:43
because he thinks
you're cute and that's it.00:54:46
[Music continues]00:54:48
You're making this up.00:54:49
[Music continues]00:54:51
It's the truth Rachel.00:54:52
[Music continues]00:54:53
That's why I came over here.00:54:54
[Music continues]00:54:56
I thought you should know.00:54:58
[Music continues]00:55:00
I don't believe you.00:55:01
[Music continues]00:55:02
I wouldn't lie to you.00:55:05
But Tyler is.00:55:06
[Music continues]00:55:08
Sorry.00:55:09
[Music continues]00:55:22
<i>EVAN VOICE: It seems to me</i>

[Stephen phone rings]00:56:02
Rachel?00:56:03
<i>RACHEL: Hi Dad.</i>00:56:04
Are you alright?00:56:05
<i>RACHEL: I'm fine.</i>00:56:07
[Music]00:56:09
<i>Dad first, I want to tell you</i>
<i>how sorry I am.</i>00:56:14
[Music]00:56:24
I brought you some juice.00:56:26
Hey, you're up early.00:56:27
[Music]00:56:30
Ally, I need to
tell you something.00:56:35
Alright that's it.00:56:36
A reminder, the debate is
tonight at the Fine Arts Center00:56:40
and I strongly encourage
you all to attend.00:56:43
Now as for the debate itself,00:56:46
I accepted a challenge
that was brought before me.00:56:49
It is my obligation
to this University00:56:51
and to the students I teach to
defend what I know to be true.00:56:55
I do hope I see you there
this evening.00:56:58
Dismissed.00:56:59
[Students packing up
and leaving]00:57:04
Why don't you go ahead,
I'll catch up later.00:57:06
Okay.00:57:07
[Students walking]00:57:25
Professor Kaman?00:57:27
Yes Rachel.00:57:28
You said that my dad was
the one who challenged you00:57:31
but that's not
really correct.00:57:33
I think that you're the one
who challenged him.00:57:37
Your father wanted
to confront me on my views,00:57:40
I could tell from
the moment I met him.00:57:41
I planned to go easy
on him and I will.00:57:52
Was there something else
Miss Whitaker?00:57:58
Yes sir.00:58:01
Well?00:58:06
The chicken came first.00:58:07
[Music]00:58:21
I've been waiting for you
but I'm in a rush.00:58:22
I got a game.00:58:23
Walk with me please.00:58:24
[Music continues]00:58:27
Where we heading,
because like I said,00:58:28
I've got a game to get to.00:58:29
I can't see you anymore.00:58:32
What?00:58:33
I can't see you anymore.00:58:35
Wait, what,
what brought this on?00:58:38
I don't really know
how to say this,00:58:40
but I haven't been
fair with you.00:58:42
Fair with me?00:58:43
What are you talking about?00:58:44
I like you Tyler, I do.00:58:46
You're such a nice guy and
you've always so kind to me.00:58:49
We're not right.00:58:50
Not together.00:58:51
I thought that things
were going great.00:58:52
Did someone say
something to you?00:58:53
I got right with the LORD.00:58:56
And I want to start living
my life to please Him.00:58:59
I'd be happy to tell
to you about it00:59:00
if you want to hear more.00:59:04
No, no, I'm not ready for that.00:59:06
I'm sorry, I should have told
you about this much sooner,00:59:09
but I was just so selfish
and caught up in my own stuff.00:59:12
And for that,
I am truly sorry.00:59:14
[Music continues]00:59:18
I'm going to be late
for my game.00:59:20
[Music continues]00:59:24
Bye Tyler.00:59:25
You ain't kidding.00:59:28
What did you say to her?00:59:29
What?00:59:30
What did you say to her?00:59:31
What are you doing man? What did you tell her?00:59:32
Who?00:59:33
Rachel!00:59:34
I don't know what
you're talking about.00:59:35
She turned on me man.
Somehow she knows.00:59:37
Well, it wasn't me.00:59:38
Well, someone told her.00:59:40
It wasn't me.00:59:42
Luke, did you say something?00:59:43
Not me. <i>TYLER:</i> <i>Well</i> <i>somehow</i>
<i>she</i> <i>found</i> <i>out. </i>00:59:45
She pulled some religion garbage
on me about a minute ago00:59:47
and now we're over.00:59:48
Okay, what's the big deal?00:59:49
Is it a big deal.00:59:50
I wasted a lot of time
on this girl.00:59:52
Dude, I told you
she wasn't worth it.00:59:54
And you didn't
listen to me.00:59:58
Somehow she found out.01:00:02
[chatter]01:00:15
[Music]01:00:41
Hello Pastor.01:00:42
I told you we'd be here.01:00:43
And several others
from the church01:00:45
have come out as well.01:00:47
Thank you for coming.01:00:48
Professor Kaman.01:00:49
Hey Phil.01:00:51
That little paper of yours
has more of a circulation01:00:53
than I would have guessed.01:00:54
Yes, it's a good crowd.01:00:56
I see the visiting team01:00:57
has some followers
here tonight.01:00:58
Hey, we're ready to start01:01:00
so if you will take your place,
I'll go inform your opponent.01:01:02
Got it.01:01:03
[Crowd talking]01:01:08
Stephen Whitaker?01:01:09
Yes. Phil Jamison, Journalism,
we spoke on the phone.01:01:11
Thanks for coming.01:01:12
My wife Kimberly.01:01:13
It's a pleasure.01:01:14
Hi.01:01:15
We're ready to begin, so if you'll take your place
up there on stage,01:01:17
we'll get started.01:01:18
Sure.01:01:19
Okay.01:01:21
People are praying for you.01:01:32
Hello, hello, hello.01:01:34
I'm Phil Jamison.01:01:35
I am the Professor of Journalism
here at the University01:01:37
and I'd like to welcome
everyone to our debate tonight01:01:40
which deals with the subject of
Evolution versus Creationism.01:01:44
What a great crowd,01:01:45
I'm a little nervous
up here myself,01:01:47
I can only imagine what our two
combatants must be feeling.01:01:51
It's my best line guys,
it's all I've got.01:01:53
[Crowd laughs].01:01:55
Let me introduce to you
our two participants now.01:01:57
On my left, speaking
on behalf of Creationism,01:02:00
he has a daughter who attends
the university here.01:02:01
Please give a warm welcome
to Mister Stephen Whitaker.01:02:04
[Mild applause]01:02:10
And on my right,
a man who needs no introduction,01:02:14
he is arguing on behalf
of Evolution,01:02:16
he is from our
Biology department,01:02:18
please give a warm welcome
to Professor Marcus Kaman.01:02:21
[Strong applause]01:02:28
Okay, this is how this
is going to work.01:02:30
Both men will are going to give
brief opening statements01:02:33
and then they'll be able to
question each other's comments01:02:35
and after that,01:02:36
we going to open up this forum
to you, the audience,01:02:38
for your questions.01:02:39
Okay?01:02:40
Mister Whitaker, you are first,01:02:41
you may begin with
your opening statement.01:02:47
Thank you.01:02:49
[Clears throat]01:02:51
Let me say first, that I've never done anything
like this before.01:02:56
I do believe though
that the topic at hand01:02:59
is an important one and in fact,01:03:01
as I prepared for this debate
it became clearer to me01:03:03
that it's more important
than I ever realized.01:03:06
It seems that when
the question is posed01:03:08
as to how life came
to exist on our planet,01:03:11
the theory of evolution has become the dominant
scientific view01:03:14
that is taught in our
schools and universities01:03:16
across this great land of ours.01:03:18
Frankly, this amazes me.01:03:20
The first problem I immediately
see is that evolution01:03:23
is not scientific in the
truest sense of the word01:03:25
since science deals with
what can be observed01:03:27
and reproduced
through experimentation.01:03:30
Scientific claims
must be accepted01:03:32
only after they have
been verified.01:03:34
The origin of life
can be neither observed01:03:37
nor reproduced
in any laboratory,01:03:39
even though
they try to show us this01:03:41
with their illustrations
in the textbooks I studied.01:03:44
By definition then,
true naturalistic science01:03:47
can furnish no knowledge
about where any life form,01:03:49
including the human race,
came from or how it got here.01:03:52
If God did not create the
universe than who or what did?01:03:56
A big bang that produced
a cosmic explosion?01:03:59
What caused it to go bang?01:04:01
A chemical reaction?01:04:04
What organized the original
chemicals or molecules or gases01:04:08
or whatever evolutionists
say happened01:04:09
to form life here on earth?01:04:11
And how did it create
so much detail and beauty01:04:16
and design and intelligence?01:04:19
Nothing times something
does not equal everything01:04:22
and yet, as I see it,01:04:24
that is the true definition
of an evolutionary view01:04:28
of the universe and what
millions and millions of people01:04:31
are placing their trust in as
how life on this earth began.01:04:35
The evolutionary world view
is clearly as much a religion01:04:39
as any theistic worldview.01:04:41
Not only is the
teaching of evolution01:04:44
an attack against
those well-known01:04:45
first words of the Bible,
"In the beginning,01:04:48
God created the heaven
and the earth,"01:04:50
but it is an undermining assault
against the authority of God01:04:53
which really becomes
the main issue here.01:04:55
At least when we're starting
with God as the first cause,01:04:59
it seems that everything else
that happens makes sense.01:05:04
That's it I guess
for my opening statement.01:05:07
Thank you.01:05:08
[Mild applause]01:05:13
Thank you Mister Whitaker.01:05:15
Professor Kaman,
your opening statement please.01:05:18
Well first I'd like to say
well done Mister Whitaker,01:05:20
very well done.01:05:22
You have debated before.01:05:23
You put forth some very
compelling questions and ideas.01:05:28
In fact, I think if we were
to pass a hat right now,01:05:30
you might being in a nice
donation or two.01:05:33
[People laugh]01:05:35
I just had a few problems
with what you said01:05:38
especially at the end there
about God being the first cause,01:05:42
you can't prove any of it.01:05:48
Now I know you're going to say01:05:49
that it all has to be
taken on faith,01:05:52
but that's always
the out on your side.01:05:54
That's always the explanation.01:05:57
We know what faith is:
it's wishful thinking.01:06:00
And in case you haven't noticed,01:06:02
things don't always turn out
so good at the end.01:06:04
The good guy doesn't always win.01:06:06
Wishful thinking
doesn't bring home the bacon01:06:09
and it cannot ever be proven.01:06:12
But, when it comes
to the evolutionary answer,01:06:15
laboratory experimentation and
intensive scientific analysis01:06:21
have proven conclusively
that living organisms01:06:24
evolved from
nonliving chemicals,01:06:27
and what makes that so important01:06:29
is that it means that
intelligence wasn't needed01:06:33
for life to form
in the beginning.01:06:35
We are all descendants
of a common ancestor,01:06:39
just as you and your cousins
are descendants01:06:40
of a common grandmother.01:06:42
And through a process of descent
with modification,01:06:46
that common ancestor gave rise
to the fantastic diversity01:06:50
that we see in the fossil record
and living all around us today.01:06:54
That is proof Mister Whitaker.01:06:56
That is scientific proof.01:07:00
Evolution means that
we're all distant cousins.01:07:04
Man and the oak tree,
the hummingbird and the whale.01:07:07
Life is about change
and the sequence of fossils01:07:11
in the strata
documents that change.01:07:14
And the clear progression
of simpler life forms01:07:17
evolving into more complex
life forms is accepted01:07:20
by every clear-thinking
scientist mind01:07:23
as irrefutable truth.01:07:28
Radiometric dating of the earth,01:07:33
shows it to be four point five
billion years old, give or take,01:07:38
and the rocks and fossils
that we see all around us01:07:41
are millions
and millions of years old.01:07:44
That's a lot of time for change,
Mister Whitaker.01:07:48
That is time for evolution.01:07:52
Thank you.01:07:53
[Loud applause]01:08:03
Thank you Professor Kaman.01:08:05
You may both now question
each other's opening statements.01:08:07
Mr. Whitaker?01:08:09
I guess my first question
for you Professor Kaman01:08:12
and the most important one01:08:14
I can think of is how do you
explain away God?01:08:17
Explain away?01:08:18
Yes, what about God?01:08:20
Simply put, man created God.01:08:24
Man created God?01:08:26
I am a hundred percent
with Freud on this one sir.01:08:29
That man created God?01:08:31
Dr. Sigmund Freud brilliantly
observed many years ago01:08:35
that man is riddled
with deep seated fears01:08:38
living as he does in a world
of disease and famine01:08:42
and disaster with very little
control over his circumstance01:08:46
so yes,
he created God.01:08:50
He postulated a being
who could deliver him.01:08:54
Kind of life
a supernatural sky hook01:08:56
that could pull him
out of trouble.01:08:58
[Crowd laughs]01:08:59
Man also believed that
he was getting a raw deal01:09:02
from just about everybody
so he wanted a cosmic umpire,01:09:07
to blow the big whistle
and halt the game01:09:10
until everybody got
what they deserved.01:09:14
But most of all,
man fears death and extinction,01:09:18
and so he needed
a heavenly Father,01:09:21
who could take him at the end
to some heavenly place01:09:26
that he decided
to call heaven,01:09:29
all because he couldn't
face the fact01:09:32
that eventually he was
going to vanish from existence.01:09:36
So, what's the purpose of life
Professor Kaman?01:09:38
We live, and then we die
and go back in the earth.01:09:42
That's it,
there's no afterlife.01:09:44
Face the music Mister Whitaker.01:09:46
Elvis is dead,
he's left the building.01:09:49
[Crowd laughs]01:09:52
In this life,01:09:53
we get a chance
to make a mark.01:09:56
If we do that,01:09:57
maybe the next generation
will remember us,01:09:59
maybe we'll even
teach them something01:10:01
but there is no afterlife.01:10:04
I believe there is much
more than that.01:10:06
Yeah, you believe
Mister Whitaker01:10:08
but do you have any proof
of an afterlife.01:10:11
Proof? Proof.01:10:12
Scientific proof,
any kind of proof?01:10:15
The Bibles says
we believe by faith.01:10:17
Faith in what?01:10:18
In a God we can't see
and a book we can't rely on?01:10:22
I'd like a little
scientific proof.01:10:24
I can't offer scientific proof.01:10:26
Well the words in this book
that you hold so sacred,01:10:28
how do you even know
they're true?01:10:31
The Bible is very trustworthy.01:10:32
I didn't ask if it
was trustworthy,01:10:34
I asked if it was true.01:10:36
The Bible is the word of God.01:10:37
Wasn't the Bible
written by men?01:10:39
Yes it was. Then how does that
make it the word of God?01:10:41
Look, I can't explain it.01:10:43
So, your betting
your afterlife01:10:44
on a book you can't explain
about a God you can't prove.01:10:48
I am sticking with Freud
on this one Mister Whitaker.01:10:51
I am definitely
sticking with Freud.01:10:53
<i>PORTLAND: Freud was wrong!</i>01:10:55
[Audience move in seats]01:11:01
Freud was wrong.01:11:03
Excuse me sir. There will be a time later for
the audience to ask questions.01:11:06
<i>STEPHEN: It's okay.</i>01:11:07
He's my friend and he's with me.01:11:12
[Audience mumbles]01:11:23
I decided to get back
in the game.01:11:26
Mind if I take over
from here.01:11:30
Mr. Jamison,
if it would be alright,01:11:33
I would like for my friend here
to continue for me.01:11:36
Well that's not how
we normally do things.01:11:39
Is that acceptable to you
Professor Kaman?01:11:44
Proceed.01:11:55
You never cease
to amaze me Marcus.01:11:58
Of course you are going to agree
with Freud's views on God01:12:00
since evolution leaves no room
for a supernatural Creator.01:12:07
And since there is no God,
then there are no rules,01:12:12
and no one to whom
we must give an account.01:12:17
But man didn't create God.01:12:20
Freud got that wrong.01:12:22
In fact, I would propose to you
the very opposite.01:12:26
I believe that if man
had his way,01:12:28
he would rather God did not
exist and eliminate God.01:12:35
Haven't you noticed,01:12:37
whenever anything goes bad
in someone's life01:12:40
or there is some
tragic event that occurs,01:12:42
people, religious
and non-religious,01:12:45
almost inevitably blame God.01:12:47
How could God allow this,
how could God allow that?01:12:53
No, if man had his way,01:12:54
he would rather eliminate God,
not create him.01:12:58
He even comes up with
theology that says01:13:01
God is dead and
has left the building.01:13:03
[Crowd laughs]01:13:08
Sorry to be so rude
to your guests.01:13:09
My name is Joseph G. Portland,
Professor Joseph Portland.01:13:16
You see, twelve years ago,01:13:17
I was the one that taught
Biology here at this university.01:13:20
Only I taught from
the perspective01:13:22
that God is our Creator
and I refused to teach01:13:25
what I felt were evolutionary
lies from the textbook.01:13:31
When Professor Kaman
joined our staff,01:13:32
he got me fired
over this very issue.01:13:37
I despised you Kaman.01:13:39
I blamed you
for ruining my career.01:13:42
Sadly for me, I let you take me
out of the game.01:13:48
You're talking about01:13:49
how those laboratory
experiments have proven01:13:51
that living organisms evolved
from non-living chemicals01:13:54
as proof of a naturalistic
origin of life.01:13:57
This is just not so.01:14:00
Those experiments only showed
that certain organic compounds01:14:04
could be formed from
inorganic compounds01:14:07
and intelligence was
and is still needed01:14:11
since someone had to conduct
and design those experiments.01:14:15
Certainly that's far from
creating life in the laboratory.01:14:19
And you know that
the amount of information01:14:22
contained in the nucleus
of a living cell01:14:24
shows that it could not have
evolved from nonliving chemicals01:14:27
and that it must have
been created.01:14:30
You know the fossil record01:14:32
does not show the
continuous development01:14:33
of one kind of
creature into another01:14:36
and that no one
has ever seen01:14:39
one kind of plant or animal01:14:41
changing into another
of a different kind.01:14:44
Dogs change into
different kinds of dogs,01:14:47
but they are always dogs.01:14:49
And we can breed dogs
to form new varieties,01:14:52
but they never turn
into cats or kangaroos01:14:55
because they remain
in the boundaries01:14:57
that God created for them
in the beginning.01:15:00
And you know that there
are layers of assumptions01:15:02
used to calculate the age of the
earth using radiometric dating01:15:05
so why are you misleading
our audience?01:15:09
The earth is not billions
of years old.01:15:11
The earth is not millions
of years old, not even close.01:15:14
You see, the Professor
and I can go on and on and on01:15:17
and bore you with
our technical definitions.01:15:21
Whatever he says, I have a rebuttal
and back and forth.01:15:24
We could go outside right now
and the stars can come down01:15:27
and form the words in the sky
God created the world,01:15:31
and the evolutionists01:15:32
would blame it
on those clever Baptists.01:15:35
[Crowd laughs]01:15:38
To me, the most troubling
aspect about this issue01:15:42
is that in our society today,01:15:45
evolution is being taught in
our schools and universities01:15:47
across this land
as a matter of fact.01:15:52
But no one can scientifically
prove evolution,01:15:56
just as no one can
scientifically prove01:15:58
that God created the world,01:16:00
since none of us were present
to witness it.01:16:04
Both of these teachings then
become a matter of faith.01:16:11
The evolutionist has nothing
but vast periods of time,01:16:15
random chance events,01:16:17
and the ever-changing
ideas of man01:16:19
to base his worldview upon.01:16:20
While the one who holds to
Creation has his beliefs01:16:24
firmly rooted in the truths
contained in the Bible01:16:28
and a personal God
who created everything.01:16:35
I loved this university.01:16:38
I loved teaching my students.01:16:41
But one thing got in my way.01:16:46
Led to my downfall.01:16:48
It wasn't until I was visited
by a new friend01:16:51
that I came to realize it.01:16:53
And it was not you Marcus.01:16:56
I blamed you,
but it was not you.01:17:00
It was me and my pride.01:17:04
I was the one who was
at fault twelve years ago,01:17:08
not in what I was teaching
but in how I went about it.01:17:11
I should have taught
my students01:17:12
to look at both sides
of the evidence01:17:14
realizing that
everyone individually01:17:17
has to make their own choice.01:17:19
Either you are going to look
at life through men's ideas01:17:25
or God's word.01:17:27
So if evolution,
follow where that leads.01:17:32
If God, then serve the Lord.01:17:37
We can't prove
anything here tonight,01:17:39
we can only present theories.01:17:43
You can chance your eternity01:17:45
on the views of Freud
and Darwin if you want.01:17:48
I'm putting my trust
in Jesus Christ01:17:52
who died on the cross
for my sins,01:17:57
was buried and rose again
on the third day.01:18:05
I know some of you
will call that stupidity.01:18:10
I am calling it humility.01:18:14
And I will trust
and I will follow Christ01:18:18
and wait on the hope of
eternal life that He offers.01:18:27
May you find that same hope.01:18:29
[Music continues]01:18:47
Marcus, I'm sorry
for my attitude01:18:54
and I held bitterness
towards you for a long time.01:19:02
I hope you can find it
in your heart to forgive me.01:19:04
[Music continues]01:19:21
Professor Kaman.01:19:23
Is there anything
that you'd like to add?01:19:25
[Music continues]01:19:29
Okay, that concludes
our evening everyone.01:19:32
Our next debate will be
November 14th01:19:35
presented by
the business department01:19:36
with a discussion about
government spending.01:19:38
We hope to see you then.01:19:40
Thanks for coming.01:19:41

I do remember.01:23:57

Eight years ago,
you and I met here01:24:10
at this very spot.01:24:11
We were throwing
stones into the river01:24:12
when you saw a fifty cent
piece on the ground.01:24:14
I came and snatched it
out of your hand01:24:16
when you picked it up. Just stole it from you.01:24:18
My Dad saw the whole thing
and he used that incident01:24:21
to show me how I needed Christ.01:24:22
So on that day,01:24:24
this selfish little boy
became a Christian.01:24:26
