The Book of Genesis
 The origin of life on Earth is the question
disturbing human minds during centuries.
 Almost every nation has legends and
myths about the origin of life.
 Different stories can be found in ancient
spiritual books as Bible and Quran...
 Many scientist are doing their best to find
the answer.
 Music, literature and other fine arts are all

 Our team from Latvia had an opportunity
to observe how the modern art of the
cinema reflect aforementioned issues.

network some ideas and hypothesis about
the origin of life have got a wide spread.
Nothing but movies have given us an
understanding of eternal values.

Popular science movies
Movies, which
present the
hypothesis that
the Earth was
created by
Creator or God.
Movies,where
the story
focuses on
hypothesis that the Earth
was created
without the
help of God
(based on the laws of
nature).
 Genesis (from Greek - γένεσις) means
origin, occurance, generation.
 Word genesis derives from the Old
Testament book of Life.
The beginning
At the beginning God created the Heaven
and the Earth. The Earth was shapeless and
empty, darkness was all over, and the Spirit
of God was hovering over the waters.
Movies present 5 hypotheses
about the origin of life on Earth.
1. Creationism – hypothesis asserts that life
on Earth was created as the result of the
act of creation by the help of supernatural
being - God.
2. Hypothesis of spontaneous origin of life,
which is based on the idea of ​multiple life
creating reactions originating from organic
and non organic matter.
Aristotle
René Descartes
Galileo Galilei
Plato
Louis Pasteur
Biogenesis
Francesco Redi
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck
An alternative to creationism
3. Hypothesis of steady state, according to
which life has always existed.
4. Panspermia – hypothesis that life has
been inscribed to the Earth from outer
space (by meteorites, asteroids, space
dust).
Hermann von Helmholtz
William Thomson
Justus von Liebig
Svante Arrhenius
Panspermia
Peter Lazarev
5. Hypothesis of the historical origin of life on
Earth by means of biochemical evolution.
Humanity can not be deprived the possibility
to ask questions, to think, to feel and to
dream.
The movie “2001: A Space Odyssey” that
was based on Arthur Clarke stories and
directed by Stanley Kubrick forces us to ask
ourselves and humanity about:
- Who are we?
- Where are we from?
- Where do we go?
Our project is an outstanding journey towards the
mystery of the origin of the Universe and our planet by
means of cinema, television and internet.
The are lot of hypotheses,but there is no unequivocal
answer.
Future holds the answer.
Dare to believe in discovery,look for
the answers-it is all about our project.
