Slide 21 Popular science movies Movies, which present the hypothesis that the Earth was created by Creator or God. Movies,where the story focuses on hypothesis - that the Earth was created without the help of God (based on the laws of nature). Slide 22 Genesis (from Greek - ) means origin, occurance, generation. Word genesis derives from the Old Testament book of Life. Slide 23 The beginning The beginning At the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth. The Earth was shapeless and empty, darkness was all over, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. Slide 24 Movies present 5 hypotheses about the origin of life on Earth. 1.Creationism hypothesis asserts that life on Earth was created as the result of the act of creation by the help of supernatural being - God. Slide 25 2.Hypothesis of spontaneous origin of life, which is based on the idea of multiple life creating reactions originating from organic and non organic matter. Slide 26 Biogenesis An alternative to creationism Louis Pasteur Plato Aristotle Galileo GalileiRen Descartes Jean-Baptiste Lamarck Francesco Redi Slide 27 3.Hypothesis of steady state, according to which life has always existed. Slide 28 4.Panspermia hypothesis that life has been inscribed to the Earth from outer space (by meteorites, asteroids, space dust). Panspermia Justus von Liebig William Thomson Hermann von Helmholtz Svante Arrhenius Peter Lazarev Slide 29 5.Hypothesis of the historical origin of life on Earth by means of biochemical evolution. Slide 30 Humanity can not be deprived the possibility to ask questions, to think, to feel and to dream. The movie 2001: A Space Odyssey that was based on Arthur Clarke stories and directed by Stanley Kubrick forces us to ask ourselves and humanity about: - Who are we? - Where are we from? - Where do we go? Slide 31 Our project is an outstanding journey towards the mystery of the origin of the Universe and our planet by means of cinema, television and internet. The are lot of hypotheses,but there is no unequivocal answer. Future holds the answer. Slide 32 Dare to believe in discovery,look for the answers-it is all about our project.
