Dr. Hugh Ross Conference Weekend // Session 3 Q&A

so I'm gonna just actually just go right down to Mike I'll let you start there and then we'll kind of work with the three of us hi I had a couple of comments we you were talking about bonding with animals I think most of us animal lovers kind of already knew this but when you raise horses we do what we call imprinting with the their ears and their mouths and everything so that they become more domesticated toward humans and when you were talking about that I'm thinking well that's what we're doing we're bonding with the animals and I've talked to somebody just this morning and she's doing that with her cat it was with the ears and we do that with our dogs we think we're just scratching their ears but we're not just scratching their ears right but I wanted to ask about the gray matter of the brain when I was quite young my mom had told me that the difference between human and animal was the gray matter the thinking part where we can figure things out and I wanted to ask you about the gray matter of the brain yeah well we have compartments of our brain that's unique to humans basically there are lobes in the front that give us a capacity to do symbolic communication which is something that the non-human animals don't have that's the part of our brain that allows us to do philosophy it supports the spiritual activity of human beings and sometimes we should notice with brain-damaged people suddenly they lose their capacity for symbolic communication philosophy and we begin to think hey there are no longer believers no the Spirit is still there what has happened is they've lost the brain hardware to support the activities of the Spirit and I actually saw this happen with my mother-in-law when she was dying of dementia but what I could see on her face was extreme frustration that she was not able to express what her spirit wanted her press the spirit was alive within her but what was missing was the hardware of the brain cells to support that in a way where she could communicate with the outside world but yeah we're the only species that she possesses that kind of hardware okay good I'll go right here like this one right here this is knowing goddess in impotent if he introduced sin to the world so we would be dependent upon him or was sin a result of our free will and then a extension here is then how to hurricanes and earthquakes also fit into reason to believes creation model okay couple of questions there and you know the reason there's evil and sin in the world is because of the free will expression of fallen angels and us human beings so it's our free will that brought evil into the world but God had a plan before he created the universe to deal with that eventualities so the universe was designed and advanced a deal with the sin and evil of angels and human beings and as something I didn't mention in my talk the universe is designed not only to deal with the evil of humanity it's also designed to deal with the evil of the angelic realm there's more going on in God's creation than just what we see in the universe and life in the universe there's another realm he created and the amazing thing is that the universe is designed to take that into account as well and the hurricane issue you'll see this we don't have the book here but the book is called more than a theory where I talk about natural disasters and how everything we identify as a natural disaster has actually fine-tuned in the context of the laws of physics to make life maximally beneficial for us human beings so given that we live in a universe where there's gravity and thermodynamics and electromagnetism we have hurricanes but the way God designed our planet in our solar system we have exactly the right number and intensity of hurricanes to make human civilization as optimal as possible so for example what I explained in more than a theory what life would be like if there were no hurricanes if there are no hurricanes the tropical oceans would heat up to such a great degree it would kill the life and the tropical oceans which would have a devastating impact on the rest of the ocean life on the planet hurricanes basically draw heat from the tropical ocean and notice the Hurricanes always move away from the tropics and what they do is they take that heat and deposit it into the temperate zone and they also bring rain onto the continental land masses now here in the United States typically your hurricanes bring more rain than we want we'd rather have small hurricanes weather divert bit by bit but for example in India the agriculture of India quickly critically depends upon the typhoon season typhoons or hurricanes just another name for hurricanes but without the typhoons India would not be able to grow sufficient food to feed its population that brings the water that they need to maintain their intense agricultural activity other benefits of hurricanes they bring chlorophyll from the ocean into the sea Shores which is a critical component to maintaining the sea shore ecosystem and there's actually several those things that we benefit from hurricanes now in order to get these benefits we need a certain minimum number of hurricanes at a certain intensity level and were right at that level so thankfully there are not more intense hurricanes or more hurricanes but also there is a word of wisdom and all this Jesus said when he was here on earth do not build your house on the sand okay before the white man came to North America the Indians avoided the east coast of Florida because they knew that was a place where the hurricane damage risk was fine what do we do instead we take elderly people that have physical infirmities we put them in mobile homes on the seashore of the eastern coast of Florida and the amazing thing is our elderly grandparents actually agree for us to put them there that's like that's building your house on the sand and so it's our own problem that we have as high of a damage and that death rate that we do because we're not wisely taking into account what these things can do and I could tell the same story about earthquakes wildfires tornadoes and they're the other form of what we call a natural disaster they're optimized no God could take it away by simply getting rid of gravity thermodynamics and electromagnetism then we would have no earthquakes or hurricanes but evil would run completely out of control there will come a time where there is no hurricanes but not until evil has been conquered and permanently eliminated and the new creation there's no gravity there's no thermodynamics you can get our book up there called beyond the cosmos I tell you what kind of physics are gonna enjoy in the new creation it's radically different from the physics we have here something to look forward to Rondo go write unto you thank you once again for taking my question and thank you grace church for bringing dr. Hugh Ross to here today three-part question the significance of the August 21st Eclipse and the speculation about what's gonna happen September 23rd the halogen Collider and CERN is that demonic and the final thing is there any significance about the four blood moons thank you okay stand there because I might not remember all four okay I'll deal with them in a reverse order for blood moons there is a movie put out about the four blood moons I was actually featured in that movie how was the lone skeptic basic I was the astronomer saying these four blood moons are really a common phenomenon familiar with it they're talking about total lunar eclipses when you get a total lunar eclipse the color of the moon becomes red because it's simply getting light reflected off of the earth and those happen you know twice a year so they're relatively common but they were talking well this is a tetrad we give four in a row I says well you get eight of those in the 21st century they're not that uncommon and what was happening is that John Hagee was claiming this is a sign of the fulfillment of prophecy and the coming of the end and my response was well I think you're misreading the prophetic text because what it says is that it's not just the moon that's gonna go red the light of the Sun and the stars will go red we're only talking the moon here not the Sun and the stars so this isn't the fulfillment of prophecy as you think it is moreover it's nothing to do with eclipses because what turns the light of the Sun Moon and stars into red is dust in the Earth's atmosphere now where you see this prophesied as revelation where it does talk about how this light of the Sun Moon and stars will go red it's in that Revelation chapter 8 but also refers to the beam at the time when there's gonna be forests and grass fires all over the world that will make the light for the Sun Moon and stars red so that's the blood moons the third one was what the significance of August 21st Eclipse and then September 23rd okay let me just deal with those two because we had reasons to believe actually had a conference a conference on the physics of the Sun and what it means for life here in planet Earth right on the Eclipse path in Eastern Oregon so we had a whole bunch of telescopes here we watched the eclipse we had evening star parties than lectures on the Sun know what's special about the August 21st solar eclipse is that it's not just an eclipse of his son it's a perfect eclipse of the Sun very different what you get with a lunar eclipse because the disk of the moon in the sky is the same size as a disk of the earth and so we get a solar eclipse the disk of the Sun a moon perfectly halts the image of the Sun and with a perfect solar eclipse you get to see the atmosphere of the Sun you get to see the corona of the Sun and you get to see star images right next to the Sun and so one of the lectures I gave was how Einstein in 1917 published his theory of general relativity and people were very doubtful about this theory but he made a prediction said of my theory is true you're gonna notice that the gravity the Sun bends the light of stars and was a British mathematician Sir Arthur Eddington has said the only way we can see the bending of light by the gravity of the Sun is in a perfect solar eclipse so one year later he got an expedition of Brazil they observed the solar eclipse and they could see that the Stars positions indeed were altered by the gravity of the Sun and basically Eddington said if it wasn't for me observing the solar eclipse in 1918 nobody in the world would know who Albert Einstein is I made him a worldwide famous figure now solar eclipses not only gave us a major proof of the theory of general relativity if you heard this this morning I used general relativity as proof that there's a God that created the universe so yeah thanks to total solar eclipses it shows us there must be God but actually does it in multiple ways our ability to see the atmosphere in the corona allowed us to build detailed models of the history of stars which is one of the major pieces of evidence that the Big Bang creation model was correct a model that had been predicted in the Bible thousands of years ago so we were all rejoicing over solar eclipses not just because they're beautiful but because they testify that God now there are people are claiming that eclipse is a sign of the end and they're targeting the event about what's happening with the conjunction of planets in September 23rd and said that tells us that we're entering into the final seven years of the tribulation and the return of Christ okay number one what we're seeing taking place in the constellation of Leo on September 23rd is not that unusual I don't see it as a sign of the end of all and moreover just like I said were the four blood moons you've got a big problem with a prophet Ezekiel Ezekiel makes numerous predictions of what's going to happen and the modern nation of Israel before the end times clock begins to tick and what I did in the four blood moons and also in several radio interviews on this September 23rd thing has lists several unfulfilled prophecies in the modern nation of Israel for example Ezekiel tells us the end times clock will not start ticking until all the Jews of the world were living in the Land of Israel well half of them are but there's a lot than them living in New York City and in Los Angeles and so until they move to Israel I don't think it's going to happen and there's several other I mean a major one is Israel will disarm as long as they're armed to the teeth that clock can't start ticking now you had one more question be quick I'm sorry yeah Hal adran the halogen collide oh yeah okay okay she's referring to the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland and France it ranks as the world's largest particle accelerator and a lot of people have been concerned because they're saying it's going to generate such high energy intensities that might actually produce a black hole that'll suck the whole universe into it and so maybe we should be telling those physicists to tone down what they're doing there at CERN now as an astronomer I can tell you there's nothing to worry about because we astronomers actually observe energy densities elsewhere in the universe that are way beyond anything that the Large Hadron Collider can achieve and they're not sucking the whole universe out of existence so I'm saying don't worry about the large wrong collider in fact I would encourage you support what they're doing because they're on the verge of making some really major discoveries that are gonna help us to build a seamlessly link our particle creation model with a cosmic creation model there's actually a cooperative effort going on between particle physicists and astrophysicists to build a much more detailed creation model that's perfectly consistent with what the Bible teaches so I'm excited about CERN Mike another three-part question um last and I I came to your service and you mentioned in the Bible there are over 300 instances where you could it predicted the future right and I kind of had a couple questions that tied together um mine was how come in the Bible the other planets are mentioned as heavily as Earth and why I see Earth the only planet that has humans and other forms of life and my last question was I had an astronomer astronomy professor last semester and one of the students asked about creationism theory any kind of shut it down saying that everything in the universe has a timeline and basically the Sun will explode earth will explode and about four and a half billion years could you explain that yes well let me try to take that in reverse order your astronomy professor was correct the Sun is gonna get brighter and brighter as it gets older and older and eventually it would be so bright and so big it will incinerate the earth that will happen in above four billion years but long before that happens the Sun will get too hot for life to exist on earth so we're not going to see the incineration event and frankly I'm hopeful that we'll be able to fulfill the Great Commission long before that happens and your second question was how come Earth is the only planet smell Bible how come earth is the only planet mentioned the Bible well actually it isn't because the Bible talks about the bright morning star now it should be a reference to Venus Venus is the bright morning star and in fact if you actually look at Venus at about 4 a.m. in the morning when as closest to the earth it's so bright you can read a newspaper by it I mean it's outstanding most people have not seen it like that but it's a spectacular sight and the bible does mention that and also there's references in the bible to the wandering stars that's a reference to planets the stars don't move relative to the other stars but the planets move relative to the stars and so the ancients knew the difference between planets and stars one of the things the ancients were able to do is variable to measure parallax on the planets they couldn't with the Stars which told them the stars had to be much more distant than the planets so they knew the planets are relatively close and the stars were far away in fact the ancients knew enough to recognize those stars had to be bodies just like our Sun only very very far away so yeah those ancients knew a lot more than we give them credit for in fact we astronomers X to use Egyptian records of astronomy to do our research why because they're documenting what was happening in certain stars three four thousand years ago and we can actually look at those stars today notice the difference and then use that to build better models of the interior of physics of the stars so the very fact that we're actually using the astronomical data of the ancients tells us that they were a lot smarter than we thought they knew the earth was a sphere they knew the size of the Sun they knew about eclipses your first question why's earth the only plan inhabited by humans or other forms of life okay everywhere we look in the universe we see conditions that are hostile for life now my colleagues are speculating there might be a planet out there that might be hospitable for bacteria but in terms of advanced life we can't even find a star as sufficiently like the Sun that it could be a candidate to have a planet orbiting it around which life exists which is cause so my colleagues to say then the whole universe is a waste but as you heard me say we literally need every single star in order to have the physics on the earth that would make life possible details are and why the universe is the way it is having said that I've been on record since the 1980s we will find the remains of life on every solar system body the reason why as Earth has been so abundant with life for such a long period of time that when large meteors hit the earth they export earth microbes throughout the solar system so for example I've got colleagues who have calculated that on the surface of the Moon we have 20,000 kilograms of Earth's soil on every hundred square kilometres of the surface of the Moon and for that reason there's actually a research effort to get us back to the moon instead of recovering pristine lunar rocks recover that earth transported soil because every ton of Earth soil has 100 quadrillion microbes in it now one of the quests of origin of life researchers is to find the fossils of Earth's first life but the geology of the earth is destroyed the fossils of Earth's first life but we know they're on the moon and we know they're there in pristine form because the moon has virtually no geology so yeah I got to speak at NASA Houston saying let's go to the moon and see who got the origin of life correct the theists or the non theists and last time I checked that's a hundred percent of the US taxpayer base for the sake of time let's limit the questions to one question per person do you believe in UFOs do I have believe in UFOs well I've been handling UFO reports since I was 16 years of age that's because I was an amateur astronomer before becoming a professional astronomer and since I knew the night sky I always got the job of processing UFO reports 99% of what people report to me as UFOs I could explain as natural phenomena military aircraft or a hoax but there's a 1% residual that I couldn't explain away and that 1% we can show is real but we can also show it's non physical and one of my professor is one is at the University of Toronto was Carl Sagan and he was adamant that UFOs don't exist but it's because his worldview does not permit the existence of non-physical reality as a Christian my worldview does and what I document in a book it's not there at the table but you can get it from reasons org lights in the sky and little green men on a document in that book is there's about 2,000 UFO crash sites where a UFO is observed crashing into the earth but as it move through the atmosphere no sonic boom even though it's moving at 20,000 miles per hour no sonic boom and no heat friction with the atmosphere if it's a physical object you're gonna get heat friction and you're gonna get a sonic boom and you go to the crash site there's no debris no artifacts when an aircraft crashes into the earth there's always debris here there's nothing on the other hand the ground is depressed by one foot the snow is melted if there is snow and the vegetation is damaged and you see radiation effects clearly something real happened but it's not physical but the Bible tells us that God treated two different forms of intelligent life intelligent life like us that's physical and intelligent life like the Angels that's real but non-physical now what also document in the book is that there are six physicists in addition to me who spent a minimum of 10 years researching the UFO phenomena none of them are believers but they all agree with me that there's a one-to-one correspondence to what you see in these residual UFOs and which is see in the occult so their conclusion is whatever is behind the occult is also behind these UFO phenomenon the other thing a document in the book is that when humans have close encounters with these UFOs it's always deleterious it's never beneficial the best you're gonna come away with are recurring terrifying nightmares say what's the worst case scenario people been killed by these encounters with UFOs it's always deleterious moreover the messages that are communicated by these so-called UFO beings has always focused on denying the deity of Jesus Christ the Iran Tia book is a very good example of that and so my conclusion is it's the Fallen Angels that are responsible for the UFO phenomena and I closed the book off by saying this is scientifically testable if you close the doors to the OO cult in your life there'll be no more UFO encounters in your life but if you open the doors it's going to happen thank you for coming to our church my question is last night you mentioned that there was some kind of a relationship between gravity and evil between gravity and evil you said when that but when the gravities go in the evil will be going right so I was just curious I don't understand if you could help us understand okay we live in a universe where gravity pervades the entirety of the universe it's a manifestation of the bodies in the universe but if you go to Revelation 21 he talks about the new creation and says everything is new everything that existed before will be gone and we'll all be so looking at a total replacement of the old creation with a brand new creation and which is see described in Revelation 21 there's gonna be a new earth and it's gonna be way bigger than the present earth good thing because this is gonna be a lot of saved people our planet can't house them all there's gonna be this new earth and is gonna be a building that will come out of heaven and sit on a new earth and it describes the dimensions of the building so there's 1500 stadia by 1500 stadia but 1500 stadium stadia is a Roman length measurement roughly equal to one mile so you got this pyramidal building because it's got corners it's either a cube or a pyramid but a building that size that's pyramidal or a cubical would violate the law gravity but you notice with this universe any body that's bigger than about 300 kilometers in diameter is a sphere it's because gravity will force any oblong object into a spherical shape if it's sufficiently massive so explains why stars and moons and asteroids that are big are all spherical it's because of law of gravity but based on that description no gravity in the new creation now what I write about and why the universe is the way it is is why you don't need gravity because you no longer have evil you say how does gravity fit in to the restraint of evil well remember I said in my talk is that God pronounced that he says the more sin you commit the more work you're going to have to do the more pain you're going to experience and the more time you're gonna ways and God basically built the laws of physics to put that into effect and it's because of gravity that when we sin we've got to do more work to overcome the damage of our sin and likewise we waste more time and we undergo more pain I mean I remember my sons when they were growing up they would complain about the law of gravity and so I have to explain to him why the law of gravity was in place to actually restrain them from doing bad things so but if you want more detail you'll find it and why the universe is the way it is dr. oz I'd like to thank you for taking my questions I have many questions but I'm where we met for more now this concerns the death of millions of innocents in the continent of Africa most by starvation horrible long dead and during this period I would say it's logical to assume that there were many intercessory prayers offered hope was the trace this so I'm wondering why God would not intervene because these are innocents I'm talking about right three to three year old children five year old right right I mean you understand the implications that uh they haven't they're not old enough to really if you've committed any significant same I mean well I'll give a brief answer to your question but it's covered in more detail on both why the universe is the way it is and the book beyond the cosmos basically saying we've got an all-powerful God God certainly has the power to rescue any of us from starvation from disasters hurricanes he can do that or Wars he's got the power to do that and we actually see instances in Scripture and in the lives of individual human beings where God indeed has rescued but he does that seldomly he doesn't do it all the time and Jesus was actually asked this question when he was an earth because there is this tower that collapsed and killed people and it's the slaves ask Jesus because there were horrible sinners that God had that tower collapse on him and Jesus said no it's not because they were a greater sinner than any of you and Jesus is basically saying that's simply a consequence of the laws of physics things are gonna fall down and people are going to get hurt now occasionally God will intervene in a supernatural way to heal someone from a disease to rescue them from starvation or from a natural disaster but if he were to do that every single time a human being was in a tight spot like that it would mitigate the benefit of the laws of physics to restrain us from evil and so the normative for God is to allow gravity thermodynamics electromagnetism to run their course because that's the best way to limit the expression of evil and to encourage as many people as possible to seek Redemption from him the very few times regards supernaturally intervenes to rescue people it's because the rescue will bring more people to repentance than the running of the laws of physics so you see that's throughout the entire Bible there are brief instances where God rescues but he always does it where it's going to bring more people to repentance than letting the laws of physics run their course and a good example of that is when Jesus turned the you know they look few loaves and fishes to feed 5000 people notice what happened the crowd ran after him and said do it again he said all you're looking for is the physical benefit I perform that miracle to teach a spiritual lesson of your need to repent and now you're chasing after me for the physical benefit but you're ignoring the spiritual benefit I will not do the miracle you're asking me to do and so that's a general principle God will perform these miracles of rescue only when it brings about a greater degree of repentance and humility than it be lets the laws physics run its course but again if you want a more detailed explanation why the universe is the way it is and Beyond the cosmos a great question thanks dr. Ross last night you mentioned that Noah's Flood was local and not global what do we do with God's promise after the flood when he says he wouldn't do that flood again and yet we still have local floods throughout the earth ok very good question and I actually did a Facebook post on that a few days ago so you can go to my Facebook page and get a little longer answer to why God said he would never you know kill people off with a flood like that and how do you reconcile that with what's happening in Houston and other parts of the world well if you actually look at what you see in Genesis chapter 9 he's basically saying I will not wipe out the whole world of the ungodly with a flood ever again so it doesn't mean he's they're not going to be local floods like you see in Houston taking place it just says you won't see a universal flood some people say well what do you believe about Noah's Flood I hesitate to use the word that I believe the flood was local because I think it's not just local to a group of humanity it's the world of the ungodly that was flooded the entire world of the ungodly was flooded so I prefer the fact I believe in a universal flood a universal flood doesn't have to be global if it wipes out all of humanity and all their animals and so and what you notice in Genesis humanity does not become global until Genesis 10 and 11 before that humanity is in a locale of the earth so God simply has to flood that region to wipe out all of humanity but just to be clear here the local flood model we hold to it reasonably is about four or five times bigger than the traditional old earth creationists flood model because we see it as an ice age event and it's much bigger than the traditional one you see in old earth creationist literature we think it's wave than just the plains of Mesopotamia because we think humanity had inhabited much more of the world than that so we're talking a really big flood much bigger than what happened in Houston and so floods like that are just simply the operation or the laws of physics that will happen and the next time that says that God's gonna wipe out ungodly humanity with fire and heat not with water but it's going to be the entire world of the ungodly not just a portion of the world thank you for your time dr. Ross do we live in a binary star system do we live in a binary star system there is some speculation that there might be a tiny star that we can't even see that's way way out there beyond the orbit of the word clouds and you know that would be debatable whether that would qualify as a binary star if it's that far away then how could it be gravitationally attached to the earth and so bottom line is our star is a Bachelor it doesn't have a partner star on the other hand it does have some big planets that orbit it and the line between a planet and a star is a fairly slim I mean if you were to make Jupiter twenty times bigger it would technically be a star hi dr. oz my question is in your experience what has been the best way to build credibility with a skeptic or even a Christian who is hesitant to see Genesis chapter one and two as a historical and scientist narrative okay how do I help skeptics and some Christians appreciate that Genesis one rudy is historical and scientific I had talked about that last night and also at the breakfast men's breakfast basically making a point first of all show them that the point of view for the six creation days is the surface of the earth not God telling us the account from above the earth but telling us the account has an observer on the surface of the waters Genesis 1:2 the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters a planet earth underneath a cloud layer that to me is the most important point the second most important point is to show them that the word yo mistranslated his day has distinct literal definitions that you can see without any knowledge of Hebrew because clearly three of them are used right there on the first page of the Bible creation day one is contrasting days and nights that's the word y'all referring to the daylight hours and then creation day for contrast seasons days and years that's day as 24 hours and Genesis 2:4 uses the word day to refer to the entirety of creation history that's day has a long period of time and so skeptics I think really appreciate the fact that one of the four literal definitions of the Hebrew word day is a long but finite period of time therefore there is no conflict between the time scale that we see laid out in Genesis 1 and the time scale of geophysics and astrophysics it's one in the same and just to give you kind of a brief history I often find it's helpful to tell people that at the beginning of the 20th century there is a big debate going on in astronomy and there is two factions one faction was saying that the universe was really old and by old and meant quadrillions of years then there was the young universe faction that was saying was only billions of years old and the reason why the resist conflict is that astronomers knew if it's only billions of years there's no way to save that Darwinian evolutionary model that's simply not enough time to support a naturalistic origin of life or history reverse length and so astronomers were basically trying to fight to save Darwinism but eventually the evidence that the universe was only billions of years old became so overwhelming they had to abandon the old universe model and so people find it amusing that actually I'm a young universe creationist because I only believe it's billions of years old but that's actually what's happening in the astronomical community got one here as it relates to your message this morning about animals and then how does hunting and killing to eat how does all that fit in with the animals having a soul and being more relatable when they're connected to humanity well how do you justify hunting these soulish animals well I'm but find it very difficult to kill one of my pets for food on the other hand I had an uncle who had a farm in Nova Scotia and he made it a point to make pets of all of his beef cattle and fat I saw this he would come home in his pickup truck and all the cows would run towards the fence to greet him and he would no pet all of the cows his comment was the fact that there are my pets really raises the quality of the meat the meat is a whole lot better as a result of that now we laugh but I've seen that played out and a number of different animals whether it be goats pigs or whatever is that that's one of the ways you can improve the quality of the meat as to have that kind of relationship and my uncle also made the point you actually make more money because it costs less to feed them cost less to care for them and you know and you get a better quality meat so this is just good economics which kind of gives you an idea of what it says in the Bible be kind to your animals a wise man is kind to his animals so even the ones you're planning to kill there's some benefit for that and then if you read my book on Jobe you'll notice that job 39 talks about the deer there's about a paragraph there about how God has designed the deer to benefit humanity well one of the things about deer is that God designed them in such a way that they live everywhere where we live I mean deer are ubiquitous no matter where we humans live there are deer there are many different species of deer but as such that we all have access to deer and the deer seem to build a handle any kind of habitat don't try to fence them in they're gonna jump any fence you build but it's such that we had access to wild game no matter where we live and so I see that as a gift from God and you actually see that Esau for example was hunting deer for his father so I'm not particularly against hunting and but I would also argue there's a healthy way to hunt I'll give you an example my parents lived in British Columbia but they knew a guy who had a hunting range he basically had this large piece of property where he'd have Americans come up and hunt but he said after the Americans left he would go throughout the herds and thin out the hers because he says the hunters would go for the old males and he said that was not really benefiting the health of the hers so he would go through and weed out the weak the sick and the injured because that actually made their herds a lot healthier he also says it also makes the population go up and says the problem is in his game farm there weren't the Predators that would weed out the wick the weak the sick and the injured that's something that Predators normally do he says the hunters won't do that so he would go through and take care of that but my parents always benefited from his culling so they always had a freezer filled with the wild game that they produce and what they especially appreciated that he would thin their herds at the right time and her feeding cycle so making sure that he was giving my parents meat right after these animals have been feeding on wild berries which Rudy made the meat tastes great and now I'll give you a tip don't ever eat bear meat right after salmon season the bear meat tastes terrible tastes just like rotten salmon you wanna eat bear me right after berry season then it tastes really good and you want the young female you don't want the old male okay I apologize we're gonna we got a lunch appointment he's gonna get home today can we give you a big hand today I and just real quick - you said this earlier but those that didn't have their questions lots of questions we didn't get to you said that they could interact with you on Facebook is that right I answer questions both on Facebook and Twitter and all you got to do is put my name in and Twitter or name and Facebook it'll pop right up and it's also fun to read all the questions everybody else is asking and I literally get questions from people around the world so it's fun to see what people in Qatar and Iran and other countries are asking as well
