You guys were very helpful with a previous video script. For this next one I'm working on, I think I need to hear from some nerds who know something about computers and how to measure comparative complexity.Hovind said:Bible says if you offend one of these little ones, you’d be better off with a mill stone around your neck and go swimming. These folks teaching evolution are in serious trouble when they stand before God.
Look, just because it’s smaller doesn’t mean it’s simpler. Then they tell ‘em we come from a simple, primitive unicellular organism. A paramecium is more complicated than a space shuttle, and you can put thousands of those into one drop of water. Smaller is not simpler. That’s one of the lies in the textbooks. I’ll show you. Here’s a microchip inside a paper clip. Pretty small; not simple. This microchip is being held in the mouth of an ant. And that little microchip can process every letter of the Bible two hundred times per second. Smaller is not simpler.
I’ll show you. Let’s compare the brain of a honey bee to NASA’s Cray computer, at one time the world’s fastest computer. I think they have a faster one now. The brain of a honey bee is pretty small. They Cray computer is huge. We would all agree there’s a size difference, right? OK. Now, the Cray computer can do six billion calculations per second. It was estimated that the honey bee’s brain is doing about a trillion calculations per second, a thousand billion. So that little honey bee brain is about a hundred and thirty three times faster than a Cray computer.
The Cray uses many megawatts. It’s power hungry. The honey bee uses ten microwatts. Did you know honey bees not only make honey, they fly on honey. That’s their energy source, and a honey bee can fly a million miles on one gallon of honey. How would you like a machine that gets a million miles per gallon? Especially at today’s price of gas, right? Fill up once and you’re done for the rest of your life.
The Cray costs forty eight million dollars, the honey bee’s brain is pretty cheap. You splat ‘em on your windshield all the time, right. Many people scramble when the Cray breaks down. Nobody heals the honey bee, a self-healing computer. Steve, you work on computers. How would you like one of them? Something crashes, zzhhrrtt reconfigures itself, fixes it all up, no problem.
Cray weighed twenty three hundred pounds. The honey bee’s brain doesn’t weigh too much. So what should we conclude? Let’s see, the supercomputer is huge, it is slow, it is very inefficient, it is power hungry, and it had to be designed. We all know that, right? But yet they turn around, look at the honey bee and say well, that happened by chance.
And the brain of a human is a whole lot more complex than a honey bee, for Heaven’s sake. Your brain can hold more information than the entire British library. The human brain is phenomenal, OK. You have more computational power in bits per second than the entire national telephone system.
One brain surgeon estimated that there are more connections in your, in just one person’s brain, there are more connections than the entire electrical system of the United States. How many wires have been connected together in the United States would you guess inside every computer and inside every machine and inside every building? Like, zillions of ‘em? One brain has more than that.
