Watchmaker muses on Creation while looking over a P.S. Bartlett American Waltham pocket watch.

P.S. Bartlett key-wind, coin silver, size 18 Pocket-watch. circa 1878. Canadian watchmaker (Christian) muses over the topic of Creation while examining this watch on the desk. Great visuals for anyone who has never seen the insides of an old American pocket watch.

In the beginning there was God. The miracle of elements and the complexities of life built from those different elements came from God, not an explosion of hydrogen. We both believe in miracles in a way. My miracle allows for intelligent purpose. Your miracle allows for no intelligent input or direction. Enough said. :-)

I have a waltham vangaurd railroad pocket watch that as far as I can tell was bought in 1957 by my dad who was a conductor on the Seaboard Coastline RR in Augusta Ga. I happen on this,looking for info. My take on all of this is simple. I belive God created everyting as the bible says and jesus is the only way. If I am wrong as some may say, then I have wasted a lot of time speaking to the air and when I die lose nothing. If you are wrong you lose everything. A gamble with the eternal

@notafarmer2

Well spoken.

The moment you try to explain scientific events by using the bible (which was written by men) it makes you sound desperate. I have no problem with someone having faith in the bible. But please stop trying to explain science by the bible, it always sounds ridiculous. There is something called nucleosynthesis, which is what occur(ed) during nuclear fusion (stars). You're right, in the beginning there was H. Then after the big bang there was H & He, then there was O, N, C, and so on.

Nice watch. In the video, you're pronunciation of Waltham is incorrect. I also noticed that you begin preaching at the end of the video.  How inappropriate.

Nice video! And what a wonderful opportunity to reach someone who might never otherwise hear and know that God loves them! Jesus Christ died for them, and we accept it by faith. In the end we all have a choice, Heaven or Hell. There are no alternatives.

@LetsGoBBruins Don't expect a christian to bother with doing anything correctly.

fuck you, and fuck your religion.

I've read Waltham's history which said nothing of the company destroying millions of perfect watches in tsunamis, wars and genocides. I'm sure glad we have a loving god watching over us. We'd really be screwed without him. His love took two of my sisters by cancer and 26 people at my high school so, I'm really feeling his love. Oh well, I'm off to the new creation museum where, just 6,000 years ago, known carnivorous dinosaurs graze peacefully next to children. Google: Idiot America

i have a 1,3XX,XXX from 1879 it has no key and can be set by the top knob..

it looks exactly like that 1 other then that..

waltham made 35 million watches from mid 1850s-mid 1950s

great vid, but ya didnt have to get all goddy on us..

you obviously don't know about anti-matter. if you knew, and understood the depth to which quantum physics goes, you would perhaps see things differently. who's to say that hydrogen could not have had its atomic structure changed by the sheer amount and magnitude of events abounding during the ongoing process of creation; the temperatures, the energies involved. the truth is found when we actually USE these brains of ours to their maximum potential. not everyone can do it; hence belief in 'god'.

[Hatterific]

How you can look at a beautiful tool of science, and turn it into something that makes you wonder about myth is beyond me. Your justification because something is complex it's designed is exactly the wrong conclusion that you should make from looking at a mechanical watch. Geesh. You are totally sick and brain washed friend.
