:00:29
I never really saw
the big picture before...
:00:32
not until today.
:00:36
Love can sure
spin your head around.
:00:40
God, where do you begin?
:00:49
The universe was created
fifteen billion years ago...
:00:52
in a tremendous burst
of pure energy.
:00:56
The matter spreading
from this big bang...
:00:59
became the galaxies.
:01:01
Our sun and planets
were formed...
:01:03
from swirling clouds
of star stuff...
:01:05
over five billion years ago.
:01:10
It took billions more years...
:01:12
for the first life
to be created...
:01:14
in the primordial stew
of earth's atmosphere.
:01:18
Life slowly evolved.
:01:20
One-celled organisms
learned to reproduce...
:01:22
and became more complex.
:01:27
At first
clinging to the ocean floor...
:01:31
then developing locomotion
and sight.
:01:38
Hundreds of millions
of years ago...
:01:40
our primitive ancestors
crawled up on the shore.
:01:43
Amphibians
gave way to reptiles...
:01:45
who ruled the earth
for millions of years.
:01:49
Then came warm-blooded mammals.
:01:51
Man evolved
in the last few million years.
:01:56
It took
tens of thousands of years...
:01:58
for civilization as we know it
to reach the modern era.
