Genesis: Four Billion Years in the Making (1978)
• January 1st, 1978 • 0h 32min
Documentary
Overview
The Great Valley in Africa - a crack of more than 6,500 kilometers in the earth's crust - is the result of the continental fracture that began about 20 million years ago. Volcanic eruptions, like the spectacular eruption of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano in Genesis, are the result of powerful tectonic processes that continually reshape the earth's surface. “From the first moment a supernova explodes in a burst of light and sound, Genesis audiences won't just have a front row seat to watch the creation of the world. The public will be immersed in the creation itself and will be fully aware that the creation is still going on” – Richmond, News-Leader. "Genesis attests that if the public is offered what it wants, it will break down its doors" -Minneapolis Star.
