Speaker 1: Welcome to the three Stories version of the Toddham Show.
Story number one the free speech sin trap. Please don't
fall for this, I did once. Story number two. Congrats
you paid for Ukraine's social media propaganda and some of
their fashion shows in Paris. Congrats. Story number three Why
the Big Bang alone cannot explain life's origin. Speaking of
the origin of life, we do all of this with
the help of God Almighty.
Speaker 2: But Todd Herman Show is one hundred percent disapproved by
big pharma, technocurrats and Tyrant's everywhere from the hind mountains
of Free American. Here's the Emerald City exime Todd Herman.
Speaker 1: Today is a day the Lord has made in These
are the times to.
Speaker 3: Which God is the side of the chalette.
Speaker 1: Something that I refer to as the free speech sin trap.
And it works like this. You have been told you
can't say a thing for a very long time, You've
been constrained in your speech, and suddenly those constraints are
lifted and you go nuts. This is happening in social
media to some people, and it's because of course, the
lifting of many of the bands at Twitter, not all
of them, but many of them. People are taking advantage
of this. It's also coming from another perspective. People forever
now been told, Hey, if you question the Orthodoxy, you're
a racist. If you have a biblical view of marriage,
you hate gay people, you're a hater. If you question
any form of leftist views of faith, well then you're
just a hate filled Christian. You're a Bible thumper. So
people are tired of this. Carol Swain predicted this would
happen in her book The New White Supremacy. You know Carabine,
now about a decade ago when some of us began
reading her work and having her on the radio, it
was new. She was a black woman who noticed that
there was in some areas of the country a resurgence
of some white supremacy thoughts and white supremacist thoughts. So
she was curious what's causing this, and her thesis is
that's social justice warriors, speech codes or what used to
be called political correctness, was causing it because young people
got sick of hearing you can't say that. You can
see some of this happening in cities where young people
are going and taking their cars and burning out over
pride flags. Now, I'm going to guess in a lot
of those instances. The people who do that, they don't
have hatred in their heart for same sex attracted people.
They have hatred in their heart for having it shoved
down their throats and being told that they can't have
their view for biblical marriage and they can't have their
view on gender ideology, that their view is ver bowten,
but the other view is to be forced. So people
get to a perspective where they're sick of being told
to shut up or shown to shut up, or threatened
into shutting up, or shamed or being unpopularized. So sometimes
people go nuts. There's a piece in the Free Press,
the FP online. This is FP dot com online. This
is Barry Weiss's organization is she's built it into a juggernaut.
It's done very well in traffic and I'm assuming revenue.
It's on the substack platform, albeit with their own domain,
and they go through and they highlight some areas where
in fact, some people who I guess you could say
you're conservative, have said some truly awful things about human beings,
things like, well that person's not an Anglo Saxon, therefore
that person shouldn't be listened to, or calling people half breeds.
And there are defenses of this. Oh, tod, you don't
get it. This is making fun of political correctness, this
is making okay, Okay, I got that part. I've been
involved in such things. I have pushed the envelope. I
was once a very very different person, and I once
fell for the free speech sin trap. Now I'm not
unfamiliar with pushing the envelope at all. Back in the
early days of talk radio, my friend A Rick and
I were new talk show hosts about a year in
the business each, and we were really good at what
we did. God gave us a lot of skills verbally.
So Rick and I decided to be infamous in Salt
Lake City, Utah, because infamy is a great way to
build audience. One of the things we did was at
the Utah State Fair. We did two things. One ultimately
got us kicked out of the fair, which was our goal.
So one thing we did one night was there was
an effort to ban burning the flag, okay, and Orn
Hatch was behind this. It was to make it a
felony to burn the American flag. Now, as I sit
here today, I hate flag burning. It makes me sick.
It makes me sick. Because I picture the veterans who
see this, I picture the families of those fallen first responders,
people who served in the military. It sickens me and
it's not something I've ever done. And the free speech
person in me thought, well, making this a felony, this
is very wrong. So we at the fair we created
this booth where you walked up and there were two flags.
One flag you would sign that says it should not
be illegal to burn the flag. The other signed the
flag you sign we were going to send to Orrin Hatch,
and you were signing the flag saying it should be
illegal to desecrate an American flag. Desecrate So we have
people come and stand in line, and when you signed
the flag, you got to ender to win something and
you got a name tag. So, for instance, Alex is producing.
If Alex signed the flag that said it should be
illegal to burn the flag, Alex would get a name
tag that says, my name's Alex, and I signed a
flag today it should be illegal to burn the flag. Now,
if the other hand, Alex said no, I don't think
it it should be legal to burn the flag. Other
people stepped up to the sign that said desecrate it
should be illegal to desecrate the flag, and they signed
the flag with a black marker, and then we would
hand and say, hey, what's your name, and we write
their name on a name tag and the name tag said,
my name's rich and I desecrated a flag today. And
it was a mind con. And at one point a
really beefy, full on, big time veteran kicked over our
table and took me by the throat for tricking them.
We did that, and we weren't all that popular, and
there's a long story behind this, and some police officers
who came to shut our booth down. We did one
other thing called the Wheel of blame, and this is
where you would come and spin a wheel to scapegoats
members of society. So on the wheel there were Jews,
there were Mormons, there were todd there were rick there
were the whites, there were the blacks. And you'd come
and spin the wheel of scapegoating. And if you named
the wheel like point in the wheel, I take Mormons,
and it landed on Mormons. Then if you landed on
the surf, you got you got something free from the station.
I didn't remember what. We gave away, something from sponsors
that one didn't get a shutdown, but the flag one
did and we had an interaction.
Speaker 3: With a cop later.
Speaker 1: I'll tell the story later. That wasn't the free speech trap.
It was provocative, it was gross. It wasn't the free
speech trap.
Speaker 3: After I was.
Speaker 1: Done with commercial radio the first time, because Rick was
forced to come and fire me because the radio station
was going to a new format. He had to come
to my apartment at night and say no work in
the morning. When we did online radio, something changed because
that's how we started the radio network was as a station.
We called it Extreme Talk.
Speaker 2: Get it.
Speaker 1: We were going to be super extreme, you guys, even
with an X no E in it. So we started
to do this live streaming far before the tech could
support it, and something horrible happened to me.
Speaker 3: Please don't fall for.
Speaker 1: This, even in the face of things that are going
on see it, for instance that are Air Force, because
they're still pushing people. You can't say that this has
to do with the firing of Charles Q. Brown, Junior General,
United States Air Force over an issue I think of
free speech. I'll tell you these things and tank them
together for you in just a second. As I'm sitting
here in Porta Arta, at this very nice resort, and
a lot of work from the guys that renew for
making this happen. Thank you. I'm looking across the desk
at a series of things with which I travel. So
there is pink sea salt over there, there's creatin over there,
and then there's my supply of Bioptimizer's products. Most important
to me right now because I'm not going to be
able to lift the way I usually lift, and I'm
not can I be able to do things as hard
as they normally do them. Just as these stem cells
soak into my back, this stem cells from umbilical cords
only obviously they're in the discs is my back exactly
where they're supposed to be. So I need to be
careful about how I move and be smart and work
with doctor Chavez. So mass Symes has taken on an
outgrowth importance for me because I refuse to lose muscle
during this period of time. I just refuse I've worked
too hard. Mass Symes produces more amino acids in our bodies.
There was a side by side test that shows a
sixteen percent more aminos, and those amino acids are the
building block of muscle, not protein. It has to be
broken down first. So everybody should want to hold onto
the muscle they have, and there's some people who want
to put it on even as an older age. Bioptimizers
can help you with this with mass simes. Go to

I can say it, so I should. There's a lot
of people who are all of a sudden super excited
to call out the nation of Israel. Fair game. I've
done this with Jewish friends on their show. My friend
Ari Hoffins a super successful talk show host that is Seattle, Washington,
and he is a very proud Jewish man, and I
don't know that they call himself a zion Is, but very
definitely pro Israel America first. Incidentally Israel seconds. His brother
lives in Israel, so Israel first, America second, and I've
said this to Ari. Your government is corrupt, well not yours,
but ours because it was Biden. But the government of
Israel is corrupt. He goes, I know, I know, just
like a lot of world government's is corupt. And he said,
I'll call up Benjamin Benjamin Netanyahu right now, and he did.
But when people start criticizing Israel, it's a short hop
for all too many people to start to say the Jews.
There are really bad Jewish people in the entertainment business.
Some of them are scum. I can tell you stories
about people who are executives in media who happen to
be Jewish, calling executives on the week of Christmas, saying
I need heads, I need heads. I'm looking at the numbers.
They're not good. I need heads. Fire people the week
of Christmas. And I can tell you stories about media
executives instead drawing their team together and saying, here's the deal.
The boss needs this much revenue or this amount of
cost cut. He wants to do it through people. We
can do that, but it has to be done this
week unless there's some other ways to make this happen.
In that case, what happened was some of the senior
people did away with some of their cool bonus items
like free parking, lunches, per diems. Oh I don't need
to make this trip. I was going to do it.
It's a nice to go, not need to go. They
came out and cut the same amount of money. So
a couple of days before Christmas, this guy has a
follow up call and he says, and the boss says,
did it get my heads? We cut this much from
the budget. So the budget thing's taken care of. But
you didn't fire anybody. No, he took care of another way.
Fire them.
Speaker 3: Two days before Christmas.
Speaker 1: Fire them instead. My friend said, you do it. I'm out.
I'm out. He didn't come home and say the Jews,
he said him. But there's something happening right now, and
it's sometimes on the right that people all of a
sudden want to leap into the Jews.
Speaker 3: It's a trap.
Speaker 1: This happened to me when Rick came and said, hey,
the radio stations change formats. You're done. When we were
online and there was no FCC, it was as wild
West as the wild West could be. It was us
in a studio with some cameras that we bought and
streaming I started cursing and using profanity, and people told
me later, people who were fans of the show told me,
you know what, it's not charming. We always knew you
had the option to do that. I mean not in
the FCC sense, but we knew in private you might
talk that way, but you always found a way to
not do it, and that was sometimes some of the
entertainment value.
Speaker 3: It was also more listenable.
Speaker 1: This is jarring. You've crossed the line into sounding really
hate Field. I mean, you're saying the same things, but with.
Speaker 3: All the efforts it hurts.
Speaker 1: I could, so I did. This is happening, and look,
I get it. There's a lot of reasons that people
are very upset with what used to be called political correctness.
But by the way, it was a real thing. This intolerance,
that's a real thing. That's a plan of the left.
It is to be tolerant of anything that destroys America.
It's called repressive tolerance, to be tolerant of anything that
destroys America, intoller of anything that helps America. People are frustrated,
so now they can so they want to, and there's
lots of reasons to do this. I just saw in
the free press, right, not the free press, but the
free speech press America, the free press. And then they're
not free because they sense of themselves that it's unprecedented
to fire a guy like General Charles Q. Brown, Junior General,
United States Air Force, as the chief of Staff of
the Air Force. Unprecedented, Well, number one, that's historically false.
Lots of presidents have entirely remade the military. But one
of the reasons this guy's being fired is because he's
a racist.
Speaker 3: He wrote a.
Speaker 1: Letter and signed it the Department of Air Force memorandum
set out to all the Air Force officers below him,
and you can see the big image of the letter here,
and then if you focus down, it talks about diversity
and inclusion or an essential part of our society and
a key to any organization. As such, it is imperative
that the composition of our military services better reflect our
nation's highly talented, diverse, and eligible population. And so you
get down to the percentages he's calling out for racial
quota hiring, and the percentages go across the screen in
the bigger image. When he demanded this, what he was
demanding was turn away qualified white people in favor of others.
That was the subtext, and he probably signed it Charles Q. Brown,
Junior General, United States Air Force.
Speaker 3: There are people who.
Speaker 1: Are responding to this and saying, of course, it was
a good idea to fire this guy. We should have
fired this guy and replaced him. There are other people
who are falling into the sin trap. And the sin
trap is, well, well, we've got enough lazy blacks. We
don't need more lazy blacks. Don't do that, don't fall
into the sin trap. The sin trap is because you
can say a thing, you do say a thing. And
I've heard people tell me time and again. No, we're
just poking fun at the system. We're just poking fun
at the people who are have been tyrannical to us
in speech. I get it, but other people don't. And
Jesus doesn't agree. The tongues that we have God warns
us about multiple times how we use them. He tells
us multiple times how he sees the body of Christ.
There's neither Greek, nor Jew, servant nor master. That's how
he sees us. That is the proper way to see
the body of Christ. Because God gets to make the rules.
Please don't fall into the sin trap because I can
tell you right now, it's addictive because you can. You
should is addictive in just about anything, and God warns.
Speaker 3: Us about that as well. Have restraint.
Speaker 1: Story number two. There's these broad predictions one can make
about the future and what's going to come to pass
and how we're going to come to see things. I
will contend that I believe that we will eventually get
to a point and maybe God forbid, it's post America.
I don't think that's the case. I think that we
dodged a major, major death if Biden had been reinstalled,
or God forbid, Kamala Harris had been installed or even elected.
I think we dodged the death of America. So it
might be that we're in a pure comeback. And if
we are, I think there's going to be a time
where we write back to history of this and maybe
God willing it's forty years from now, that people sit
in history classes and they go, wait. So the United
States went through a period of time where our government
wasn't just spinning things, but they were actually pushing lies,
actually pushing lies in other countries to create the fault
ofless countries, to cause these color revolutions up to the
point of creating fake, fake press organizations. There were entire
publications that were nothing more than CIA fronts paid for
by USAAD dollars. Imagine the study of that. When you
study the propaganda of Nazi Germany, do you ever look
back and they go, how did they do that? Did
you know that Adolf Hitler used to distribute LPs records?
His team was super smart on tech, and they looked
and said that when do we get the most new signups,
When do we get most people converting to being Nazis?
It's when Hitler speaks. We've got to get more people
to see Hitler speak. Well, people aren't going to go
to speeches. Oh, there's these new things called LPs and
people are purchasing record players.
Speaker 3: To play them.
Speaker 1: Let's get Hitler on a record and go hand it
out like the AOL discs they used to push across
the world. Remember you couldn't get five feet without seeing
an AOL disc. They were in a hotel, lobbies, they
were an airplanes, or in your mailboxes. If you look
back at the photo they used of Hitler on the record,
it looks a lot like the first photo sessions for
the Beatles. The dramatic use of shadows, et cetera. It
looks a lot like Shae Gavar. In fact, the artist
for Shae Gavara who took that picture, and Shepherd Farley
later turned that in and turn that into that iconic drawing.
I think he was credited with saying, yeah, yeah, I
saw what they did in the Hitler prop again, so
he was that way and now we're doing it. Show
what I mean here in a second, because it's Ran
Paul who says things in a way that only Ran
Paul can. And then we'll get into something that came
from Data Republican, who by the way, has been docked
and of course is being threatened, and so she's telling
the world about who she is.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that as well. All of this, of course, is.
Speaker 1: Corruption, and it's coming from a great, great, great period
of corruption, and it's coming in the wake of alac
Cusine Obama making it legal for the American government to
push and publish propaganda. Are much of our financial system
has been propaganda. There has been absolutely no rhyme or
reason for many of the stock prices that we've seen
in Nvidia is a great example of this great company,
but it's worth thirty thousand times revenue. No, it's not. No,
it's not. You are way behind the curve and what
that company's ever going to have to do to earn
that stock price.
Speaker 3: So that's the.
Speaker 1: World we live in. And President Trump seeking to write
size this and he's doing some things that to me
are crazy and offensive. I'm sorry, selling citizenship for five
million bucks. I can't buy that. I know a lot
of people like that. I don't, but it's disruptive, and
disruption is a great time volatility, and this fight between
President Trump and the Empire, this is going to create
massive volatility. In my judgment, I ain't no financial expert,
but how could it not. There's an interdependence that's president
in all healthy organizations and families, or at least a
recognition of that interdependence. And Alan Soaps is exactly this way.
John their father, Alan and Ian's dad. He's the mind,
the marketing mind. He's the adult. He's built businesses, very
very successful in digital marketing. You would know some of
the campaigns he's worked on the world famous. When he
realized that his son Alan was going to face enormous challenges,
physical challenges. He's fourteen, he's been through about eighteen operations.
He realized as well, he's gonna probably have neurological challenges.
He does. He's effectively nonverbal. When doctors are saying, hey,
let us un alive your baby for you, he said, no, no,
we're not going to do that. He created a company
custom built for Alan, a place he could work that
makes a simple product but makes it brilliantly.
Speaker 3: Soap is simple.
Speaker 1: Or if you are a great, big company that makes
it in China with slave labor, it's complicated because you
get all the chemicals. You want to hide the chemicals
with fake fragrances, et cetera. Alan soap is not that
it's made in America. Three generations of soap making expertise,
and John is a very crative man digitally, Alan, though nonverbal.
Speaker 3: Soap is his art.
Speaker 1: So you're going to encounter fragrances of soap you've never experienced,
like cedoard jasmine, and they all tie back to very
special memories for Alan. So I think this will mean
something to you. Yeah, there's fragrance free and the soap
is very mild because Alan skin can't handle anything that's
not Alan works there.
Speaker 3: Ian works there.
Speaker 1: They aren't welcome and the rest of the employment economy,
even though they're very, very successful workers there. Amy has
joined the team. She was neurotypical, absolutely normal neurologically, and
then late in life got autism and all of a sudden,
all the colleges are like, ah, it's too bad for you.
So now she's gainfully employed there. So it's an interdependence.
They all need each other. We need soap and this.
You want to be a stinky, disgusting kippie, you need soap,
so go to Alan soaps dot com slash todd you
get temper sent off. All their products there, and it's
not just so. They have some of the softest wash
coss I've ever seen. And they have that thing that
you use to get away from the dead skin. I
forget what it's called. I want to call it a houfah,
but then it's not a houfa. That's what lufah. Oh,
my producer Alex knows what it is.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's it.
Speaker 1: You've earned your nickname, mister Lufa. Yep, yep, mister Lufa.
He doesn't earn your nickname. We've only worked together for
a decade. Now you're mister Lufa. It's all self come
slash todd ten percent off all your products. There rand
Paul talks about a bit of corruption and what your
tax star has been paying for. And I hope forty
to fifty years from now, our kids or whether kids
grandkids are my case, great grandkids are sitting there in
school going wow, the country got that bad.
Speaker 4: Four point eight million dollars spent in Ukraine for social
media influencers.
Speaker 1: While you're at it, we spent not we, but the
people who vote for this.
Speaker 4: I've voted against all of this, but the members of
the Senate who voted for this, and several hundred thousand
dollars sending designers in Ukraine to the fashion show in Paris.
Speaker 3: It goes on and on.
Speaker 1: And in the case of the companies, the fake media
companies in Ukraine, you were literally involved in discrediting a
man who went online live streaming being conscripted and beaten
because he didn't want to join the army. You participated
in calling him an anti vaxxer. You participated in talking
about him being an anti conscription conspiracy theorists. I did
two because my tax dollars were given to USAID to
go make this happen. Do you remember a journalist named
Gonzelo Lira. He was in Ukraine. He was a critic
of Ukraine's government. He had said they're going to unlive me,
and his own father said they're going to alive my son,
and he wanted to help getting his son out so
that he didn't get unlived. He actually talked about how
Zelenski received his funding.
Speaker 5: You see Zelenski the president of Ukraine, well the cokeh
head of Kiev, because he has a cokehead. The cokehead
of Kiev is actually a manufactured political figure. He was
manufactured by Ukrainian Israeli Cypriot oligarch called Igor Kolomoyski. Now
Igor Kolomoyski was the man who owns one plus one
Media here in Ukraine. And one plus one Media is
the company that financed and produced the TEB show Servant
of the People. An Servant of the People hired Zelenski,
a well known actor in Ukraine, an actor with zero
political experience or even any political interest. Well, they hired
him to play the role of the president in this show.
Servant of the People now Servant of the People had
huge ratings, but a lot of people say that it
was really weird the amount of propaganda and pr that
was done for the show. It was disproportionate to any
other show of any channel. The amount of PR, positive
press and all the rest of it. It was really
pushed on the people. Some people say it was completely AstroTurf.
Some people who know how to speak Ukrainian and who
have watched the show have told me that it's a
mildly enjoyable show, but no big deal. But anyway, the
show was hugely popular and it ran from twenty fifteen
to twenty eighteen and almost seamlessly. Kolamoyski, the oligarch, created
a party called Servant of the People, same name as
the TV show, and their candidate was Zelenski, a man
with no previous political experience and indeed no previous political interest,
and Kolomoyski financed Zelenski to the point that Zelenski today
is a billionaire. How many actors do you know are billionaires?
I mean, I don't think that Tom Cruise is a
billionaire and he's the most successful actor in the world
if he's just an actor. Zelenski is more than just
an actor. He's the finger puppet of Kolomoyski, this oligarch
and do you know who Kolomoyski also financed to the
tune of fifty thousand dollars a month plus additional benefits
of different sorts Hunter Biden. Yes. In twenty fourteen, Burisma,
the Ukrainian oil company gas company excuse me, hired Hunter
Biden to be on its board of directors to the
tune of fifty thousand dollars a month. Who do you
think controls Burisma? Kolomoyski, the same guy who manufactured Zelenski
as president of Ukraine. Yeah, I bet you didn't know
that Zelensky and Hunter Biden are spiritual cousins. They are
bankrolled by the same guy. It's funny because both of
them have drug addictions, pretty serious ones. Both of them
get their money from Kolamoyski, and both of them are
intimately involved in Ukraine. But here's the difference. Of course,
Zelensky doesn't have a dad who's president of the United States? Now,
does he? Why do you think the White House the
United States is freaking out so badly over Ukraine? In Ukraine,
there are all kinds of secrets in Ukraine. Well, see
the more unsavory people in the Washington establishment have used
Ukraine as their private piggybank to the detriment of the
Ukrainian people. They have financially raped Ukraine, stripping it of
moneys and assets, moneys and assets needed by the people
of Ukraine. And this is part of the reason that
Ukraine is one of the poorest countries in Europe, if
not the poorest country in Europe, because of the corruption,
because of how Westerners have exploited a Western politicians have
exploited it. Hunter Biden fifty thousand dollars a month, and
you say yourself, well, fifty thousand isn't that much. Yeah,
but you know, fifty thousand dollars a year is the
medium household income in the United States. In Ukraine, a
much poorer country, fifty thousand dollars a year would easily
solve the problems of a good four or five families
in Ukraine, the financial problems of those four or five
families in Ukraine for a year. And Hunter Biden was
getting that money per just for himself.
Speaker 1: It's weird that that guy got unlived, isn't it, And
that his dad had predicted he would be unlived.
Speaker 3: So if you go back to.
Speaker 1: The very beginning of the segment and you talk about
what we're paying about did we paid to unlive him
because we didn't pay to get him out? Forty to
fifty years from now, when this story is told, God Willing,
I wonder what the role of data Republican will be.
A woman who is deaf and nonverbal, who's had to
come out and admit who she is because she's been doxed.
She wrote this on Twitter. One thing I've come to
understand is that the egregious situation persists because both sides
benefit in some way. She's talking about money laundering. I'm
working on indexing twenty twenty four win Red data as well.
That might be an unpleasant surprise.
Speaker 3: Give Peter B.
Speaker 1: Bergner a follow and look at his website. And here's
what Peter Burneger said. Yes, both sides are actively smurfing,
i e. Criminally laundering my injured. The political campaigns rough percentages.
Speaker 3: Act Blue and Liberals eighty.
Speaker 1: Five percent of the total monies Win Red and Rhinos
fifteen percent. Money's coming from the US Treasury, Ukraine, USAID
and others. I'll say this again, and Zach Abraham, my
friend and he's the Chief and Investment Officer bo Copro Magic.
We just talked about him. We've said for many, many,
many many shows. You think the usaad audit's bad. Can
you imagine what we would find if we were allowed
to audit the Federal Reserve, the nation so called banking system.
They can invent money and call it debt and force
us to pay them back and give it to whomever
they want, and we can't can't look into it. They
are effectively inauditable. You're paying for a lot of things.
And the people who are doing this are geniuses. Man,
they're getting away with it. Except for the ultimate eye
in the sky, not the nsa god who sees every
transaction in detail, whose books are perfect, whose a counting
system never fails. Oh and it's not just the money
he sees. He sees the motives, every single motive, and
everything that they whisper in the dark. One day be
shotted from the rooftops, and one day every knee will bow,
every tongue will confess. One day they will kneel before
the front of judgment, and he might say something to
these people along the lines of So let's talk about
when read I pray that people involved in this will repent,
because all of us need to reprent because the Kingdom
of Heaven.
Speaker 3: It's your story.
Speaker 1: Number three. I had a fascinating conversation the other day
with a person who described herself as spiritual.
Speaker 3: But not religious.
Speaker 1: This just happened to be in a restaurant. I went
in to eat real quick after the gym and just
fell in this conversation. Talked Jim, talked church. I mentioned
that I lead this youth group, or not leader, I'm
one of the leaders in the youth group. I'm blessed
to work with this young man because this this young
woman had said, Hey, you're often in here with the
young guys. That's your son. I said, no, no, no,
he's a guy i'm blessed to mentor you know, in
my church. And so we're talking about the faith, et cetera.
And she said, well, I'm not religious. And I got
to say to her, what does that mean? She said, well,
you know, I don't believe in God. I said, oh, okay,
so to you, being religious means you believe in God.
She goes, yeah, I go, okay, I mean something different
to us. That's fine, she goes, but I'm spiritual. Ill, Well,
how's that work? What do you mean you're spiritual? She said, well,
I believe that we're more than skin and bone. I
mean I believe we have souls.
Speaker 3: Souls.
Speaker 1: That's an interesting idea. What is a soul? And she said, well,
it's the part of us that that transcends, you know,
flesh and bone.
Speaker 3: What's it do?
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if no one's ever asked me
these questions before. Okay, but you know you have one.
So through this conversation is she's serving other people dropping
back by? And I finally got to a point where
God gave me a thing to say to her. I'm
not saying it broke through. I'm not saying that she
came to the faith where about planting seeds. But we
got into a topic of intelligent design, and it boiled
down in from me talking about DNA and the structure
of DNA and how it's absolutely impossible, it's irreducibly complex,
it did not happen through happenstance. And then I brought
something very simple up. It has to do with a circle,
a circle, and she was aware of the circle, and
it was that that actually caused her to pause and
to think. So I was talking to this young woman.
I asked her if she'd ever read the Bible. She said,
not a word, And that gave me a hint into
this conversation. Because she's walking back and forth. She's not
there to talk to me. I'm just I'm abusing the privilege.
So I had this little hint in mind of how
to approach this because I knew we'd been talking about
the Big Bang, et cetera. So let's talk big Bang.
So here's what we are to believe in terms of
the Big Bang being responsible for the origin of life,
not the universe of life. There's already the conundrum of
there was absolutely nothing, nothing existed, and then there was
an explosion and everything existed, albeit in prehistoric form. So
from absolutely nothing came absolutely everything.
Speaker 3: That's unbelievable. It also violates some of the laws of physics.
Speaker 1: An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted
upon by another object. So let's say that it wasn't
really nothing. Let's say that it was a a tiny
little seed. You know, because seeds. We see this in
nature all the time. Seeds can grow into these magnificent trees,
these tiny little like a mustard seed. Jesus talked about
mustard seeds because they're so small, but a mustard plant
is huge. So let's say it wasn't really nothing. It
was just observably nothing. It was just this tiny little
seed and then that seed blew up and everything came.
But wait a minute, what acted upon the seed was
the motion inside the seed. So nothing caused everything, and
this you could view this from a cheerless perspective. Okay,
so the rocks that are planets, they came into being,
and the rocks that are asteroids came into being, and
the rocks that are stars came into being. And some
of the stars are.
Speaker 3: Super hot because they traveled fast.
Speaker 1: Or you know, they have nucloids in them.
Speaker 3: They're just super hot rocks.
Speaker 1: And okay, but then came the rules for orbits. So
nothing caused everything, including orbital paths that sustain our Earth
in a position in the universe as the only planet
that we know of in the Milky Way that can
observe planets around us. We are the only planet from
which you can observe the universe because if the planets
are parsley blocked by the Milky Way, they don't have
our observation point. Okay, And then the right mix of carbon, oxygen,
nitrogen water, the exact right mix, the exact right angle
on our earth as it spins half a degree off.
No sustainable life. That that all happens from nothing. That's
all materialist.
Speaker 3: But the Word.
Speaker 1: See, we read in the Bible that in the beginning,
the Word was God. The Word was with God, and
the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
Through him, all things were made. Without him, nothing was made.
That has been made. In him was life, and that
life was the light of all mankind. The light shines
in the darkness. The doctness is not of our comment.
That's from John one through five, and it's referencing Jesus Christ.
But then we also have this from the very beginning
of the Bible. That young woman who was speaking with
in that restaurant, as she went back and forth and
served customers, and I asked her if you read the Bible,
she had never read. The words in the beginning was God.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over
the surface of the deep, and the spirit of God
was hovering over the waters, and God said, let there
be light. And there was light. God saw that the
light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
God called the light day, and the darkness he called.
And there was evening and there was morning in the
first day. So God said, let them be light. Let's
combine those two things, the word and let them be light.
Let's combine it into this. When the human cells, that
our sperm and egg come together microscopically, there is a
burst of light. You can watch it, observe it. But
there's something else. There's a burst of information. Two information
sources come together, the DNA from the mother and the
DNA from the father, and they combine languages, they combine words,
and they create a rule system. And that rule system
is readable. It is writeable, it is repeatable, it is testable,
it's understandable, it's transferable. It's language.
Speaker 3: It's the word.
Speaker 1: That's what grows our bodies, that's what governs how we
work the universe. You can look at materialistically, it's rocks,
it's asteroids, it's a vacuum. We are none of those things.
We're ambulatory beings with the ability to speak words, to
passwords on and we contain rules to believe that nothing
created everything, including a readable, writeable, repeatable, testable, falsifiable, shaable,
formidable language. It's madness. There has never been an instance
where useful information has been created randomly. So this young
woman heard this in bits and bites. She's walking around
serving other people. Who's the weird old dude bible thumping her?
Speaker 3: She came back by.
Speaker 1: I said, can I bring just one of the things
up to She said, I'm actually enjoying this. I'm not religious.
I've never been exposed to this, so this is interesting
to me. So do you read a story the other
day about one of our satellites finding a perfect circle
on a planet. It was kind of hidden under all
this dust. It was perfect circluse. She said, yeah, yeah,
I saw that. I go what was significant about that?
She goes, well, I mean perfect circles. Those don't happen
in nature. There's no such.
Speaker 3: She stopped.
Speaker 1: Perfect circles don't happen in nature. The significance was, we
were told this would have been had to being created
by beings. Right, A very simple look at daily life
will tell you that's human intervention. When you're walking through
a desert and there's rocks and sand surrounding you, and tumbleweeds,
and you see out of the corner of your eye
a perfect circle. You know that was something left behind
by human being placed there or built there. It's in
our minds that we can scan our environment and say
that was the hand of a human. It's in our
DNA that we can look back and say we are
beings that contain the word. And we're started through a
burst of light. This is the Todd Hermannshaw. Please go,
be well, be strong, be kind, and please make every
effort to walk in the light of Christ.
