INT - STUDY CUBICLE (300 YEARS LATER) - FAINT RED LIGHT
CLOSE-UP ON WIDE-VIDEO-SCREEN: A FAINT REFLECTION OF A SPACER-BOY watching
A NARRATED ANIMATION of solar system and planet Earth creation amid the stars backdrop: [ADAM, MR. GABRIEL]
SUPERIMPOSE EXPLANATION:
SUPERIMPOSE TITLE:
Chapter 1: Living Planet Genesis; Time-scale magnitude: Fifth-order
ANIMATED: A flat pre-solar NEBULA: Several glowing planet-twins and -quadruplets,
co-orbiting in rings: Asteroidal crash-flashes lightning-ripple the nebula backspace:
|
[NARRATOR]
We begin with the planets already condensed, spinning inside their cooling
presolar nebula space-cloud orbiting the centrally located sun not-yet
lit to star-brightness -- crashing rocks send-out ripples of lightning....
Only God watches. |
ANIMATED: A DARK SPINNING PLANET: The global meteor storm glows dimly: Occasional fireballs streak:
|
[NARRATOR]
Each planet finds its way away from its pair-mate, and begins to cool in
the cloudy darkness -- rocks and dust crash into the planet, too. |
ANIMATED: TEMPEST-WINDS scour over glimmering magma flows and boiling-water seas:
|
[NARRATOR]
Deep waters cover the crusty lava planet, and boil-away their heat into
the scouring winds, and high into the atmosphere -- lavas glimmer below. |
ANIMATED: RED SKY-LIGHT BLOOMS, with a bright-dim cycle:
|
[NARRATOR]
As the sun far-away ignites with star-fire, its suffuse light illumines only
the thinning space nebula outside the spinning planet, and gives red daylight:
The spinning cycle of lighter and darker is the planet's first type of
day: And God begins counting this, good. |
ANIMATED: Tempest-winds subside to A RAIN STORM beneath back-lit reddish cloud haze mottling the sky:
|
[NARRATOR]
As the new Earth-planet cools, the atmosphere slows, letting vapors gather
into clouds, and precipitate rain water -- the sunlight keeps it warm, and the day-cycle drives these
processes to separate chemical gases from vegetation-breathable air -- people-breathable
air develops later. God counts this good: before vegetation and people
need it: This is the second day-type. |
ANIMATED: Magmas harden, crack, weather into fine dusty soils, green VEGETATION proliferates, blackish in the reddish-orange sky-glow:
|
[NARRATOR]
Variegated processes of sunlight and dark, warm and cold, wet and dry, accelerate
the microscopic crumbling of hardened lava-rock into gritty powder and dust,
wetter soil and clay, and dirty sea-water -- greatly increasing its availability
to microbiological slime and mold developments, which also increase the crumbling.
Larger vegetations also luxuriate, and the third day-type is dominated by varieties of sightless
greenish land-plants and vegetations everywhere basking in the warm reddish-orange daylight,
and also converting the atmosphere slowly to animal-breathable -- which is good. |
ANIMATED: CLEAR SKY: Day and night clears to detect the sun's spot, moons, distant planets,
colored stars at night: The mountains are patched with snow:
|
[NARRATOR]
While vegetation and insects develop and flourish on the Earth-planet's
surface, and beneath its seas, and in the air near the surface, the high
sky and space nebula continue to clarify, letting direct sunlight show
the spots of the sun, near moons, distant planets, and stars in their colors.
The nights become cold: The planet poles freeze: And seasons and climates specialise.
Large land plants that grow fruits to nurture their own seeds, begin to grow.
On this fourth type of day the point of seeing and science becomes the good. |
ANIMATED: FISH swimming, jumping, FOWL flying, diving for fish, rivers:
|
[NARRATOR]
As early animals develop and specie-fy in the bouyant water seas,
they follow the sun's seasonal direction and the warmer currents flowing
around the Earth-planet, and swim up the cleaner rain-water rivers running-off
the lands into the seas: These are the first fish.... Later, light-weight
birds develop: flying by flapping the non-bouyant air -- in day-type,
five. |
ANIMATED: CATTLE, sheep, roaming, lion resting, aboriginal idyllic MANKIND
walking:
|
[NARRATOR]
Land-creatures including mankind dominate the Earth and its seas, in day-type,
six. This is the finish of known life-soul manifestations on Earth -- but
mankind needs better distinction from the other creatures. |
ADD TRANSLUCENT SPOT OVERLAY VIDEO FACE OF [MR. GABRIEL] NARRATING:
|
[GABE]
We need put aside this idyllic scenery to understand generic man's ascendency
over all the Earth, and its seas and the space around: It is not only seen
and counted good, it is felt constantly: It is the altitude, the orbit,
the vantage of thought watching calmly confidently with God: It restfully
sees all good unfolded and undiminished, before it contemplates a point,
line, or place. This elevation of authority brings us eye-to-eye with our
present type of day, the seventh, and its ultimate conclusion in your responsibilities
here and where-ever you count good. |
ADD TRANSLUCENT SPOT OVERLAY VIDEO COLLAGE alternating among individual
[STUDENTS] FACES: [ADAM] is LIVE video+audio of the spacer-boy ADAM AND HIS REFLECTION:
|
[GABE]
Adam, you may ask a question.
[ADAM]+REFLECTION
Can people go outside a planet? in their space suits?
[GABE]
Planets are bigger, so they don't have to: But they can.
[STUDENT#2]
Will we visit a planet to see these developmental phases?
[GABE]
Most planets are finished -- we may visit a 'sixth-day' planet.
[STUDENT#3]
What is soil like? Do we have any in the laboratory stores?
[GABE]
Soil is like your toy-modeling-clay.
[STUDENT#4]
What do planet-people do during the night-time of day?
[GABE]
The same as you do when you turn-off the lights, and sleep.
[STUDENT#5]
Why don't we have animals on our boat-ship?
[GABE]
Animal communities don't fit on boat-ships: And don't need to:
They will already be on any planet we will visit.
[STUDENT#6]
How many planets are there orbiting a sun?
[GABE]
Each sun may have several planets, plus smaller suns.
[STUDENT#7]
Are all day-type-six planets inhabited by men? |
PULL-BACK TO VERY CLOSE-UP real ADAM looks at the video-screen and his reflection,
in a plush study-CUBICLE: FACE [ADAM] is LIVE VIDEO+audio of Adam, the spacer-boy
in the REFLECTION:
|
[GABE]
One or two planets per sun are just right for us.
ADAM+[ADAM]
Can planet-people see us? Where are they going?
[GABE]
Only when we come near or visit them: Then they follow us. |
