(Dr. Kim Myung Hyun - Biblical Science Research Institute) Hello
Let's exchange greetings with the people next to you
Nice to meet you. Welcome
(Dr. Kim Myung Hyun - CEO of Biblical Science Research Institute, ph.D material engineering of KAIST, pre Handong Uni Prof.) This is the 4th session on The Bible and Science
Last time, we discussed whether this world we live in was created on its own
Or by somebody else. There were two different claims
And there was also people who live without any interest in this
So to talk about which claim is correct from that two
we need evidence to support the claims, so let me talk about that
If you look at this building again, that was created by someone, correct?
All buildings are created, correct?
But do you think buildings can just appear on its own by any chance?
For example, like this. Do you know what this picture is?
The volcano behind is erupting
The rocks are flying out and falling down with a clatter
And the city is forming on its own
Do you suddenly feel like it's possible?
Is that kind of thing possible or impossible in reality?
It's absolutely impossible, right?
What should we do if there are people who insist that such a thing is possible?
At that time, we need to restrain them instead of just taking care of them
Do you remember those two buildings on your right?
It's been over 16 years since they were destroyed
And that round thing in the middle is the engine attached to airplane wings
The airplane engine that I’m showing you is so complex that
There are over one million parts in this engine system
So, you can imagine how complex the design of the building on the right must be
Now, you may be wondering why I’m showing you these pictures
Now, I want you to answer four simple questions
The first question is, are there blueprints for the airplane engine and the building?
Of course there are, as a matter of common sense
Even though you may not have seen them yourself, it's common sense that they exist
The second question is, if you have blueprints, does that mean there must be a person who designed it?
It's obvious, right? It wouldn't make sense to have blueprints without a designer
It wouldn't work, right? That's common sense
The third question is, if you look closely at the blueprints, can you guess the designer's wisdom and skills?
Dog’s houses and buildings are very different
You can distinguish which one requires more wisdom, right?
This is the fourth most important question for today
What it is, is a person. What do I mean?
There’s a blueprint for this building and your chair must have a blueprint too, right?
Most of the things inside here must have a blueprint, right?
But does your body have a blueprint?
I'll ask again. Does your body have a blueprint?
You probably haven't heard this question since you were born
But does it exist or not?
The consensus seems to be that there is no blueprint, but I'll tell you the answer
You have a blueprint
Some people may think in their hearts that God has it
But it's not that. Surprisingly, that blueprint is inside your body
Not knowing that it's in your own body is basically dementia level
Scientists have found out. As I mentioned earlier that there are cells in your body
And each of those cells contains a blueprint
If I show you that blueprint for a while, maybe the moment you see this
It's something that you already know
That's DNA
Have you heard a lot of words like genes and genetically modified foods lately?
The meaning of all those words is that every living thing has a blueprint inside
Scientists have given it a difficult name like DNA, but that's just the blueprint
So, that substance with the genetic code that you call a gene is actually DNA
In Korean, it's called nucleic acid
And that state where the DNA is clustered like that is called a chromosome
And it's inside every cell of your body
In fact, every cell contains a blueprint of your entire body from head to toe
So when you have a child, they resemble their parents, right?
You resemble your parents and go on to have children who resemble you right?
But do you see a resemblance in that photo or not?
Sometimes people say they don't see a resemblance, so I prepared a photo with more resemblance
Do you see the resemblance? You can probably guess who it is
It's a photo of my son when he was in elementary school
He's now finished serving in the military and is a college student
I haven't met anyone yet who says they don't see a resemblance in this photo
But why do children resemble their parents?
Do you knead your child after giving birth? Making sure they look like you?
No, once you give birth and raise them they just resemble you
The reason why they look alike is because they inherit genes from their father and mother
These days we call them genes, but in the past they were referred to as that seed is my seed
What our elderly ones used to call seeds
Are what scientists have discovered, that genes are made up of DNA
So the reason why beans grow from planting beans and red beans grow from planting red beans is because
parents pass down genetic seeds to their children
So, this building was assembled according to a blueprint, correct?
That is exactly the same as your bodies
Your body is made up based on the blueprint that is stored there
So that's why everyone's hair grows on top and nails grow below
That's because there are commonalities in the blueprint
So, your body and mine are mainly made up of a material called protein
So hair and body are also types of protein
There's various types
However, these proteins are made by combining amino acids
Like in those supplement ads
I'm sure you heard something about essential amino acids, correct?
There are 20 types of amino acids in our bodies and in living organisms
These 20 types of amino acids are like building blocks that make up living organisms to put it simply
However, these building blocks don't just combine randomly to make proteins
They are made according to the instructions recorded here
So, when we examine the structure of DNA
You can see those weird words like
guanine, cytosine, adenine, and thymine, right?
So, G only binds with C and A only binds with T, therefore,
GC binding and AT binding are constantly connected
It feels like a school right now
But don't worry, there won't be a test
However, it's necessary to know a little bit about the principles of our body, correct?
So it's continuously connected and scientists have investigated this
The interesting rule is that there are always three bindings in one bundle
So for example, if it's bound like GAA,
It's a code saying to combine a certain amino acid among the 20 types mentioned earlier
They have deciphered all the commands
Therefore, there are commands in the DNA to start
And there are commands to end
So starting from there, according to the blueprint there, hundreds of amino acids
Are exactly and firmly combined and one type of protein is completed
And from then on, other types of proteins are made
So the proteins made like that are even now
In the roots of our hair, hair proteins are made
to keep our hair growing
In the roots of our nails, nail proteins are made to help nails grow
No one grows hair out of their nail roots or anything like that, right?
If so, that means they have a pretty serious malfunction
So if your parents have curly hair, there's a high chance that you'll have curly hair too
And if either of your parents has a weak heart, you might have a weak heart too
What do we call these kinds of diseases?
Genetic diseases
I asked someone about this somewhere and someone loudly said heart disease
But genetic disease is a sad thing, everyone
In the past, we didn't know the cause well
But now we know
That is, in the blueprint inherited from our parents
If a certain part of a certain chromosome is wrong, a genetic disease occurs
We started to discover them one by one
So we’re researching to find and prevent them in advance
So everyone has different characteristics from the person next to them
However, there are some similarities between family members
That’s because the blueprint contents are different for each family
Do you understand?
So if you say it in reverse
If the blueprints are different so the appearance is different
Two or more people can be born with the same blueprint
What is that?
They are not just twins, but identical twins
The reason why these identical twins look so alike is that
They have the exact same blueprint passed down from their parents, with 3 billion letters
So, two identical works have been created
So if you do a DNA test on these two
They’re the same person
So they can’t be distinguished by their DNA
But there is an objective way to distinguish between them
They have different fingerprints
The fingerprint changes due to the presence of variables during the development process
However, the blueprints are 100% exactly the same
I have explained everything to you
Did you understand?
It wasn't that difficult, was it?
What about people who majored in liberal arts?
But after listening and understanding, there is one very important fact
Do you each have a blueprint inside your body or not?
Yes, we do
Yes
Then if you have a blueprint, who must be there?
The designer
This is a very important matter
Just like there are designers for cars and airplanes,
there are also designers for human beings
So, is it likely that humans just appeared on their own?
Or is it more likely that someone created them?
The possibility of someone creating us human is very high
But you all need to personally meet the designer
Because right now, all of you are very broken
Excuse me, but can I give you a prophecy?
Today, all of you who are here will die
It's a powerful prophecy, isn't it?
No one can escape death, right?
But what death mean for people is
just like scrapping a car
If you keep fixing it but can't fix it anymore, you have to scrap it, right?
But think about it carefully
If you replace all the broken parts of a car that is going to be scrapped, with new ones
can that become a new car?
It can
Right?
Then, if you want to fix that broken car, you have to go to the company that made it, right?
Then, if it's true that someone designed a person,
then you have to go to a company that created the human, correct?
That makes sense logically
But is there evidence that humans were created by one particular being?
There is
That's the blueprint
You see I too haven't seen God with my own two eyes
However, I have studied science
I have been trained to acknowledge evidence
But what is inside my body?
There is a blueprint inside
Then logically, if there is a blueprint, there must be someone who made it, right?
The designer
So humans didn't just appear on their own, someone made them
But is the one who made humans at the same level as us?
Or at a high level that we cannot compare to?
High level that we cannot compare to
Right?
Isn't it?
When someone is broken
Doctors can fix it, but they are like mechanics
You run away when you meet a quack, right?
So the only person who can fix humans when they are broken
Are the one who designed and made humans
So there is enough evidence to believe that the one who made humans exists
So after you and I finish this short life
The one who made us will fully restore us
Not for a hundred years, not for a thousand years
but forever
I believe in that fact
Some people think that heaven is abstract and unrealistic
No
If there were no blueprint in my body, I might not have thought like this
But there is a very clear blueprint in my body
You’ve realized one very important thing today
What's inside your body?
A blueprint
Perhaps it's an important fact that you should never forget while living your life
But at school
Students, every living organism has a blueprint
If there is a blueprint, it is natural that there is a designer
Is the way we should have been educated
But surprisingly, you and I received education backwards at school
Students, everything just appears by itself
But that is clearly a wrong conclusion
Now, I've told you a very important point today
I'll give you a little supplementary explanation about the principle of design and wrap it up
Do you know what this is a sign of?
That's called Morse code
You know, the old spies used to send messages
Those are the signals
That one in the upper left is the famous SOS signal
It's a signal requesting help when a ship is sinking
Three short signals, three long signals, and three short signals
Everyone, remember that as common knowledge
So when you're in danger, just send that signal
For example, at night, with something like a flashlight
Just flash it like this: dot-dot-dot, dash-dash-dash, dot-dot-dot
Got it?
And to say 'I love you,' just express it like this
You can even record an entire encyclopedia
Here's an important principle to keep in mind
How many letters are there in Morse code?
You don't even need to count, there are just two: dots and dashes
There are 20 something alphabets in the English language
Morse code only has dots and dashes, right?
With just two distinct signals like this, you can record all messages
But there's another developed code with just the two alphabet signals
That's the digital computer
With just 0 and 1, you can record everything. Two is enough
But there's another discovered two-alphabet code
Is the one I mentioned earlier, the genetic DNA code
Although it may seem complicated to you, once you know it,
there are only two types of combinations, GC and AT
Messages are contained in those two types of combinations
The principle is the same. What's different is that,
Morse code was developed by humans
Digital computer codes were also developed with human wisdom
But the genetic DNA code contained in living organisms,
wasn't developed by humans
We only discovered it
However, someone with exceptional wisdom and ability designed and made it
Teaching that it was designed and was created is creation
No, it could also have naturally formed over a long period of time
Claiming that is evolution
But which one to believe
It's all up to your personal choices
It cannot be forced upon you
However, to assist you in making a wise choice,
Let me give you an example
You see that large purple thing to your left?
It's actually a photograph
What does it look like?
You need imagination for that
Earlier, I showed you the eye of the needle
This time, it's the tip of the needle
I took a picture of the needle tip greatly magnified
Scientists examine various things because they have nothing to do
But I'm not showing you the needle tip
But there are yellowish things sticking to the needle tip, like rice grains. What do you think they are?
Those are the famous E. coli bacteria
Can you imagine how small E. coli bacteria are?
These little guys can climb up to the needle tip and have a rally there
But the important question is, does this tiny E. coli bacteria have a blueprint or not?
Yes, all living organisms have a blueprint
So, this is the picture of the E. coli that I enlarged in the top right corner
And one of them is inside there
And by pulling out the blueprint of that E. coli
Is this yellow strand looking thing
And inside there is the genetic code that I mentioned earlier
Who did I mention that has nothing to do at their job?
Scientists
They were so bored that they wrote down the letters of the blueprint alphabetically
Like this
But don't be surprised
When the genetic code that's inside this tiny E. colin was written down
Inside it, when written down densely like that
You’ll fill a thousand pages of an encyclopedia
A thousand pages is about the thickness of a Bible
That's the genetic code that's inside a single E. coli
Everyone, don't ignore an E. coli because it’s small
It's a great piece of work with an amazing blueprint
But what's even more surprising is that if you make a mistake or miss just one alphabet here
a deformed E. coli will appear
This means that perfect information is contained
This continues to surprise you, right?
But what's more surprising than this E. coli is a human being
Everyone, will you take a closer look at the tip of your finger?
Do you see the cells there, or not?
Those who claim to see them need to be taken care of
I did mention that something even finer than your hair is a cell
But even in one small cell, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes tightly packed
But when we tried writing down the genetic code contained inside
Guess how much
An encyclopedia, no, when we wrote down the genetic code inside it turned out to be
3 billion alphabets
When I calculated that 3 billion, it was equivalent to a million pages of an encyclopedia
So that's a thousand books with a thousand pages each
Everyone, a thousand books of encyclopedia
That's the blueprint for you and me
Everyone, imagine that
If you stack up 10 encyclopedias, it will go higher than your knee
If you stack 100 books, it will exceed the ceiling of your house
If you stack a 1000 books, it will be as tall as a 10-story building
The blueprint for stacking volumes of encyclopedia as tall as a 10-story building
Is in one of your finger cells
Everyone, are you too shocked to react
Or have you been losing your concentration since earlier?
To say that someone is alive means
If you touch something hot, you should react by saying it's hot
If you hear something surprising, you should react by saying it's surprising
That's what being alive is
Alright, let’s go again, again, again, and again
The blueprint for stacking volumes of encyclopedia as tall as a 10-story building
Is in one of your finger cells
It is all contained within one right now
So everyone, even though you and I may be broken right now,
Just how mysterious is this body we have?
As I mentioned earlier, there are about a thousand books worth of information in each of your cells
There are over 60 trillion of those cells in your body
So, when you're casually walking around
God, the God who created us,
The total amount of messages God has recorded in your body is
60 trillion times the amount of information in a thousand encyclopedia volumes
When something is so different from what you would usually think
You don’t really know how to react, right?
When I learned about this fact, a verse from a hymn came to my mind
It's a bit old-fashioned expression but it’s
Even if the sky were a scroll and the sea were ink
It's true that we cannot record all of God's great love
Do you agree that humans are truly precious beings?
But do you think such valuable beings could’vd come into existence on their own?
Wouldn't someone have had to create them specially?
Someone created them specially but they’ve been broken
And so much time flew, so people have forgotten everything
But surprisingly, God has revealed through the Bible
And through people, that God created us
Now, as science has advanced, we can even confirm the evidence
Now that's the end of my story
There are many stories to come
But the most important point among the four lectures I’ve given is
What’s inside your body? A blueprint
Only the one who designed us can fix us
And that content is written in the Bible
It’s not about just fixing
But God has said that we will be available to live forever after death
I believe that to be true
Let's finish here
Thank you for listening
