Then, at the center
:02:11
the mighty engines of the sun
flare and ignite.
:02:25
Through
four and a half billion years.
:02:28
an Earth evolved to which
no human eyes were witness.
:02:34
The molten earth
crusted and cooled.
:02:42
Volcanoes discharged
the gases and waters
:02:45
which would film
the planet's surface.
:02:52
Continents emerged
from primeval seas.
:03:00
Life evolved.
:03:17
lt was no static
and finished Earth
:03:19
which modern man surveyed.
:03:26
We found echoes of chaos
everywhere...
:03:29
evidence of titanic
forces and movements...
:03:37
and we re-asked
the ancient questions:
:03:40
Why volcanoes?
:03:42
Why earthquakes?
:03:44
Why the torn and upheaved
landscapes?
:03:48
And we probed newer mysteries:
:03:51
Why matching geological
formations divided by oceans?
:03:56
Why the fossils
of identical life
:03:58
on widely separated continents?
