: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?
:04:01
Why glacier tracks
in the Sahara
:04:05
oil in the Arctic,
coal in Antarctica?
:04:20
How had ancient seafloors
become mountain peaks?
:04:28
What processes of creation
:04:30
could resist the unceasing work
of glacier wind and water?
:04:35
Given the age of Earth,
these forces of erosion
:04:39
should have leveled
the continents a hundred times.
