Scientific explanations of the world

  • Matter is eternal, it can neither be created nor destroyed, only changed.
  • About 15 billion years ago, the matter of the universe became so compressed that it produced a huge explosion (the Big Bang)
  • As the matter of the universe flew away from the explosion, the forces of gravity and other laws joined some of the matter into stars and the solar system was formed.
  • The combination of gases on the earth's surface produced primitave life forms, like amoeba.
  • The genetic structure of these life forms produces changes(mutations).
  • Any change that is better suited to living in the enviroment will survive and reproduce.
  • Over millions of years new life forms were produced leading to vegetation, the invertebrate animals, then vertebrates and finally humans evolved.
