The Evolution of Life on Earth

What would it look like if we took Earth's 4.5 billion year history, and stuffed it into a normal day's 24 hour time-frame? Follow the magnificent journey of life; where it began, and how it eventually led to humanity as we know it.

WHAT TIME IS IT?
CRISIS TIME
IT'S EXISTENTIAL

Beautiful. If you move yourself away from your limited human perception (as far as it is possible) and think about everything in fast forward as if you were watching from a timeless higher realm, you realize everything around you is in constant motion, and that the whole planet (and the whole universe) is alive. That makes me feel profoundly happy for some reason.

The background music made it 1000x better

Oh boy. Christianity vs atheism in the comments. Better grab the popcorn.

I hate it when people remind me of how short my life is compared to history.

I don't think I want to scroll down any further...

This video is absolutely timeless. I always respect those who are able to make content that lasts for years. 9 years and still counting!

[cartev]

no kidding the only reason im on this vid is to see the war between Christians and atheists

[julianf]

The background music for this is amazing! Did you compose this? I really like how it took this one chord theme and built on it, and it perfectly matched the video. Excellent job!

Its funny how it's either "this proves that god is fake" or "this is blasphemy God is real!". Why can't it be "God made the world with evolution"?

[sophia-gnum]

I should this to my life science teacher, he loved it and showed it to the class. I love your videos, keep up the good work ❤

[cartev]

There are some answers for evolution, and sometimes there is not an answer.
There are some answers for god, and sometimes there is not an answer.

We can't explain where space came from. We can't explain that god created time or space himself because we can't explain where god came from either.

Please respect other people's beliefs

This was a really cool video, I had to watch it for my science class and i was like "YES ASAPScience!!!!" just like, silent in my head lol

[MSTechie]

Ayyy, this was posted on my birthday. I was 14. I feel special

[aristides]

Great video! A light shining through the darkness of supperstion and ignorance that is still afflicting so many.

[CarmeloAlipayo]

Yep I'm Christian but I have the audacity to respect science and I think it's quite fascinating. Can't everyone just respect others beliefs?

[peacewillow]

how awesome is this?!?! 🤗
thank you for putting it together. 💕

[jackson]

Let me make a compromise.

LET THERE BE EVOLUTION!

Interesting way you guys put in perspective just how short humans have been on this planet for.
