would reflect the

passage of 8 billion years.

Lin:
Let's assume Paddington was

there right after the Big Bang

and saw the events of the first

Pot as they occurred.

All of that information will

be wrapped up inside the coils

of this Slinky.

The universe expands, space and

time stretch a trillion times,

the extended distance between

the coils of this Slinky

indicating that stretch.

J.T.:
And now Paddington

comes up and tells Albert

about the events of that

first Pot.

Lin:
He describes these events

as they took place

in their original

time frame, one day.

But as Albert looks back,

he sees those events

from the perspective

of today's clock,

a clock that runs

a trillion times slower

than the original cosmic clock

used by Paddington.

He sees these events

unfolding with the passage

of 8 billion years,

which reflects the stretching

of space and time.

With an adjustment

in the logarithmic scale,

the second of the Pots would

reflect the passage

of 4 billion years.

J.T.:
And then 2 billion

and 1 billion and so on.

Marc:
Add up the length of time

reflected by these six Pots

as seen from our current

perspective

and you have

15.75 billion years

as the age of our universe,

or...

six days, as measured

by the cosmic clock.

And this is a scientific

observation

based on proven science

reflecting the same period

of time

as it occurred in the two

different frames of reference,

the time as it unfolded based on

the cosmic clock

and the amount of time as

measured by today's clocks,

measured by today's time

computation.

What God described to Moses

and what Moses described

to the next person

using the passage of time

are from different frames

of reference,

different perspective.

God telling Moses the story of

the six days of Genesis

is like Captain Chen

relating the events

of her one-hour survey

at the edge of the black hole

to people whose clocks had

marked the passage

of thousands of years

during the same one-hour period.

And you might just find this to

be an interesting quirk,

except for one thing.

Let's look at what science says

actually happened during

each of these Pots and compare

them to the six days of Genesis.

Dad, if you could, summarize for

us the first day of Genesis.

"In the beginning, God created

the heavens and the Earth

"and the Earth was without form,

it was void.

"And the darkness

was over the face of the deep

"and the spirit of God hovered

over the surface of the waters.

And God said,

'Let there be light. "'

Are there some points that need

to be clarified?

Yeah, three, really.

You need to understand

something of Hebrew

to understand

the Book of Genesis.

First of all, in the ancient

Hebrew language,

there is no word

for "universe. "

Secondly, the waters

are really representing

everything that there was,

and darkness is a symbol

for a state of chaos.

Dr. Tolley.

Day one would have started

15.75 billion years ago

and ended

7.75 billion years ago.

What does science say

happened on Earth

during this time period?

At the instant of the Big Bang,

everything that would ever be,

everything that would constitute

the quarks,

protons, neutrons, electrons,

from which everything

that now exists

as well as time

and space itself were created.

The Earth only existed in

the form of stardust

that would later

congeal into the planet.

As to the verse,

"Let there be light,"

you need to go back to your

Big Bang video

and correct something.

The name "Big Bang"

conjures up the impression

of this brilliant

explosion and flash of light,

Like an atomic bomb.

That's-

That's how this event is

generally pictured,

but it's not accurate.

From the initial moment

of creation

and as the universe

initially expanded,

it was a ball of plasma of such

incredible heat and density

and gravitational forces

that no light could have

escaped.

Initially,

there was no light at all,

just a swirling opaque mass

of pure energy.

It was only when

this primordial primal mass

had cooled and expanded

to a point where

the gravitational forces

were reduced enough

to permit electromagnetic

radiation to escape

that there

would have been light.

So "let there be light" is

clearly a separate event

from the initial creation in

both the Bible and science?

Yes.

And during the remainder of that

first 8 billion-year period,

the early stars

and galaxies formed.

Dad, day two?

Day two, the heavens

as we know them were created

and the chaos that would

eventually become the Earth

was separated from

the rest of creation.

Marc:
Dr. Tolley, cosmic clock,

day two,

what happened

during this time period?

our own galaxy, the

Milky Way, formed,

as did our sun and planet Earth

in its earliest incarnation.

Marc:
Daddy, day three.

Jerry:
The oceans and

the dry land appeared as well

as the first forms

of plant life.

Professor Campbell,

we're in your arena now.

What does science say

happened on Earth

between 3.75 billion years ago

and 1.75 billion years ago?

Well, some

3.8 billion years ago,

the Earth cooled,

liquid water formed.

Almost immediately, the first

plant and animal life,

photosynthetic

algae bacteria appear.

Back to you, Dad, day four.

Jerry:
Day four, the sun,

the moon and the stars appear.

Marc:
Same time period,

Professor,

1.75 billion years ago

and 750 million years ago.

Dr. Campbell:
Well, initially in

the first part of this period,

atmosphere on Earth would have

been nearly opaque,

then with the rising

concentrations of oxygen,

the atmosphere would have

become translucent.

And then the sun,

the moon and the stars

would have appeared for

the first time

from the surface of the Earth.

Marc:
Dad, day five.

Jerry:
Day five,

life is created in the oceans

and the first reptiles

and birds.

Marc:
Professor,

750 million to 250 million.

Dr. Campbell:
Well,

initially,

sea life would

have been dominant

and then came the Cambrian era.

Cambrian explosion about

530 million years ago

when every species

of land animal

Literally appeared

at the same time.

So instead of a tree of life,

it was more like a bush of life.

Touch, Kerry.

Marc:
And the Bible

on day six.

Jerry:
Day six, the land animals

become dominant...

and God created man

in his own image.

Marc:
250 million years ago

and to the appearance of Adam.

250 million years ago, there was

a mass extinction.

90% of the life on Earth,

followed by

a rapid repopulation,

mammals, land animals

predominating.

Lin:
That was the Permian-

Triassic event.

Depending on

how you define them,

there have been between

five and 20 ELEs,

or extinction-level events.

Marc:
Like in the Tea Leoni/

Morgan Freeman movie,

"Deep Impact. "

Tyler:
But I didn't think

that was a real thing,

- that's a movie thing, right?

- Chase:
No, that happens.

Lin:
Anyway, about

35 million years later,

around 250 million years ago,

the dinosaurs appeared

and dominated life on Earth
