Miracle Mile

:00:29

I never really saw
the big picture before...

:00:32

not until today.

:00:36

Love can sure
spin your head around.

:00:40

God, where do you begin?

:00:49

The universe was created
fifteen billion years ago...

:00:52

in a tremendous burst
of pure energy.

:00:56

The matter spreading
from this big bang...

:00:59

became the galaxies.

:01:01

Our sun and planets
were formed...

:01:03

from swirling clouds
of star stuff...

:01:05

over five billion years ago.

:01:10

It took billions more years...

:01:12

for the first life
to be created...

:01:14

in the primordial stew
of earth's atmosphere.

:01:18

Life slowly evolved.

:01:20

One-celled organisms
learned to reproduce...

:01:22

and became more complex.

:01:27

At first
clinging to the ocean floor...

:01:31

then developing locomotion
and sight.

:01:38

Hundreds of millions
of years ago...

:01:40

our primitive ancestors
crawled up on the shore.

:01:43

Amphibians
gave way to reptiles...

:01:45

who ruled the earth
for millions of years.

:01:49

Then came warm-blooded mammals.

:01:51

Man evolved
in the last few million years.

:01:56

It took
tens of thousands of years...

:01:58

for civilization as we know it
to reach the modern era.
