so here is the creation story
as told
by science
in the beginning
there was an ocean of energy
that drove a rapid expansion of space
known as inflation
there were ripples in the ocean
as inflation ended
the ocean of energy was converted into
mata
and the big bang
and the pattern of the ripples was
imprinted into our universe
as regions of slightly different density
in the hydrogen and helium gas
that formed shortly after the big bang
[Music]
the denser regions of gas collapsed
to form the first stars
and the first galaxies
and nine billion years later
[Music]
a new star formed in the milky way
the sun
[Music]
the star was joined by eight planets
including
earth
and
nearly
13.8 billion years after it all began
we
emerged
blinking
into the light
