2:31 am
want to see them in heaven. there seems to be no sense of doubt here. i feel like hell is something that you should be afraid of and it's kind of like a motivation to strive to be like more godly and christ like so that you don't go there is something meant to scare you. the bible also determines how the young people behave during school breaks and after school. the topic of sex is taboo and that teenagers find that hard to deal with. sometimes. it's it's easier if you have a good friend or parent there with you on your day so you can avoid but the temptation of sex or like. the list of forbidden activities is alone. i've seen like order by a friend. go through i tired where they started doing more secular.
2:32 am
muslim north so i could say secular things can be as simple as gossiping traquair out about someone i mean a lot of drinking. smoking drugs sex all that kind of stuff use it against the bar lord's. parents here pay between $712000.00 a year for their children's education and christian institutions such as the 1st by . this church and its school has been exempt from paying taxes in the us since 894 . the leesburg community is particularly rich and powerful it has 2500 members and continues to grow. during the service the 1st academy students take up the collection.

2:34 am
well i'm carrying a gun because part of a pastor's slash chaplain job is the protection of the flock a spiritual and physical you know it's far the job and i take it pretty seriously so. the armed preacher. he holds a very conservative views. this says homosexuality is a sin homosexuality is a sin just like lying just like stealing. sacks name a sin they're all equal in the eyes of god o'donnell's god is resent lists. if you came down a path you're on you're going to go to hell forever so the choice is simple right who wants to go down there and start cooking now i don't know after
2:35 am
the service the preacher has another task. here companies deputy down your crew are on patrol. at the end of the day as they go. their mission they explain is to bring lost sheep back to the flock. of. anything on a bond that is a sign of what their reality comes from the bible like when we get there but that means i'm going to be walking down a street i haven't i'm going to see like no as and no in the art also i know i saw a man and he's also a marco you know it. as soon as it gets dark deputy clore goes on alert it's vacation time young people around and want to have fun.

2:37 am
2030 years ago people. spectate officers. they knew that if they got out alive he'd say this but they would get smacked we would say to their obviously so now we have to talk speak. chaplain o'donnell uses the moment for some religious instruction. us finding you here tonight ah believe was orchestrated by god so i would say this is god saying i love you and i want you to go down a different path now which one you will pick i mean this should be a giant wake up call for you what i would like for you to do is to remember the feeling you had when he put handcuffs on you when you thought about going to jail for real. that carries out. they'll stop 3 more cars that evening. that wasn't skanky way to go around i'll tell you who. the separation of state and
2:38 am
religion is not even an issue here. evangelical christians in the us also attempt to influence science. we're in petersburg kentucky. hundreds of tourists come here every day to visit one of the attractions the creation museum. at the entrance a video delivers a very clear message. the big bang theory and evolution are a lie. the earth. according to the bible good was god who created the world in 6 days about 6000 years ago. the belief so-called creationism contradicts fundamental scientific knowledge.
2:39 am
and 40 percent of americans believe in it. the museum only presents the views of creationists some of whom come from well known universities such as harvard all oh. i am taking you all to through the garden of eden gabriella rocket to carvalho haynes has a doctorate in paleontology and geology. and. she doesn't believe in evolution or in the course books that she studied to earn her degree instead she explains to the visitors that all living beings were created on the same day so how then can the
2:40 am
discoveries of early humans be explained for example the famous a stroll a bit ago sufferance is known as lucy. this is my favorite one they found the pelvis of lucy they looked and they said it looks like an ape. buttocks and it cannot be an ape it has to be here why because they they want it they wanted it to be human. and then what they did they took that pelvis to a lab. and they reshape it in a human shape the point is when you don't have a christian worldview or what our commitment you have with honesty. with troops. what is life for hands evolution is an atheistic conspiracy theory evoke are all of our darkest just a short term here but room where. the creationist worldview is taught in schools.
2:41 am
what you. the most shows like. so you don't understand the concept of evolution quick break there is 6000 years ago is that right yes. it is a serious point. or if. this is the same way as it is a sin against god. the bible says that suffering and pain came to a person through original sin the museum depicts this and a cabinet of horrors that it calls the cave of sorrows. to speak up because of this and. it brought yes you brought that sin so the world is not safe anymore we have wars we have pain as of that nature and now i am pregnant now so i think i can understand that the curse of the pain do you
2:42 am
feel punished. we are here we all see you punished because of the sin yes because of the sin in our moms to. whether it's the holocaust 911 or drugs creationists believe these are all consequences of turning away from god the exhibition is a reminder to stay on the right path. to getting there is i just. have a very strong. it's very powerful living knows it scare you really. nowhere to go. but the. the museum comprises 7000 square meters around $300000.00 visitors come here in each year to learn about
2:43 am
the creationist world view. another lesson i see in you for your time in the office is why lie to get it is partly. the museum is run by the organization answers in genesis. and it is not the only attraction of its kind. half an hour away by car tourists for a bus. that is about their destination a christian theme park. a story for this marvelous. war and it's here in the middle of kentucky and that we find noah's ark. according
2:44 am
to the bible god destroyed almost everything on earth with a great flood only know what and his family survived and there are together with many animal species. the dimensions of this replica correspond approximately to those in the bible $155.00 metres long 15 meters high and weighing more than $8000.00 tons tickets range from about $25.00 to $50.00 depending on age children up to age 10 are free access. this teacher tara came with her class from virginia. a c.l.r. family had to offer you love the answer. ready. for radio one. the story of the ark is imaginatively reconstructed with caged animals.
2:45 am
including bears wild boars hippos and even dinosaurs near. the sound of water and animal noises can be heard on tape. tyra teaches creationism us private schools are allowed to teach the controversial subject. the now our all know was when he answered we are. here and it's anybody's now let's not say that how old it was when they left the our research and 601. k. why the hell if you mean the premier's all. i think it would be to
2:46 am
be appointed we lived to be you know 80 or 90 years old today it's just the body aches differently back then. there is no proof of this faith as an alternative to not much. dean is here with her group from north carolina on the tourist stuff our love of the place in our world pretty right now there are some good person. but there is something that bothers needing a bit which she shares with the press spokesman pat canoe school but let me try to assist i wish the women were dressed for war to simply pass the women here on those 43 cars. from some of. our works for years right for her but. i wish it was a little more city thank you for that we we try to be as authentic as we could.
2:47 am
provocative clothing on noah's ark. the $100000000.00 construction was financed privately together with state tax money for the promotion of tourism that. we want to try to draw people in to hear the message and you know quite frankly if you don't make it fun then people probably wouldn't come but christians like to have fun too. there's a large cafeteria. and adventure park with a zip line and there's you know it's kind of like a christian disneyland and it's highly profitable. before the arc we were probably a $30000000.00 company and now we're about a $100000000.00 company so the arc has really exploded our ability to reach people that's the real point is that we're able to reach more and more people. are
2:48 am
going to look at the. rule of. museums festivals and schools help strengthen the evangelical message. but more and more u.s. citizens are turning their backs on the church between 292-9000 the proportion of nonbelievers increased from 17 percent to 26 percent but in cities like houston texas it's not that easy being an atheist. 28 year old engineer bryan is one of them. the every sunday in church growing up including many wednesday night services as well as some there as they get togethers with the youth group so it was a big part of my life. despite studying at a christian university brian is now an atheist i left religion. a kind of there was
2:49 am
a few events all happening at the same time as i was learning more about science i was starting to have more trouble reconciling it with my faith and i started dating a girl and she was an atheist and. finally as you know my faith was getting a shaky my best friend came out to me as a day everything i knew about gay people was wrong and i thought point i had to kind of step back from church and say you know i think this community is not quite for me anymore. the evangelicals see people like brian as traders and they were expelled from the community. to help deal with their social isolation many of the atheists meet up on sundays. are you. their meetings take place at the same time most church services and are remarkably similar. with the fact that. this is normal that there are thank you
2:50 am
that does a lot like a 1st bottle i think is because of the people like. some people don't want to be filmed which is no surprise to the organizers. because of the stigma that's still a terrorist especially in the us especially in a place like texas not because of the just the non-religious sometimes almost like you going to have to come out to your family. people need to do that on their own terms whenever they're ready and so for that reason there's a lot of people that don't haven't even told their families that they're all just more. atheists are viewed the same way as homosexuals as centers. to go and leave religion is almost kind of like turning your back on your culture and it's not just going to church and it's you need to be safe to have jesus in your heart of the russian winter so bring some peace to this can result in families casting out non-believing relatives. brian's relationship with
2:51 am
his mother is difficult she doesn't understand his decision. nevertheless she invites him for launch. every sunday. at this new house as. she longs to return to how things were before. the kids are some. get ready for christmas eve service at church. back when he loves jesus. brian's mother believes that his turning away from faith was a grave mistake. are you afraid that brian will go to hell there will be a concern i don't want to spend eternity in whatever hell is i would sacrifice
2:52 am
anything for him. to come back to the faith i want to be in heaven to. rule. the increasing number of atheists is seen by many americans as a national problem that should be solved by force if necessary. it's a view that is also held by a group of fundamentalist christians and mcdonough georgia. chris hill and his son ashton go regularly to church together on sundays. and. play for yourself very very close you know that's the order of the water is god country if god cared for your family. place for care were mailed us.
