The Story of The Universe
The Azoic Era
(Pre-Cambrian Era)
(4500-3500 million years ago)
The creation of the earth after a tremendous
explosion in the universe. There is, what is
known as the Big Bang theory which
hypothesizes that the earth was formed
from a swirling cloud of dust and gases.
This gas and dust shrank to a very
hot core.The earth was filled with volcanoes
and earthquakes.There is no oxygen in the
atmosphere, only gases such as carbon dioxide,
nitrogen, methane and hydrogen. This was
followed by a gradual cooling of the earth's
molten surface. The crust forms; there is an
emergence of water falling as rain
and the first oceans are created.
At first there was chaos and
darkness was on the face of the deep.
God said "Let there be light,"
and there was light.
Before that, there was only the deep :
an immensity of space with no beginning
and no end, indescribably dark and cold.
Who can imagine that immensity,
that darkness and coldness?
