2. What is evolution? It is the process of change in all aspects of life over generations and evolutionary biology is the study of how evolution occurs.
3. Albert Einstein Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be transformed from one state to another.
4. Homosaphiens originated in Sub-Saharan Africa around 200,000 B.C. Written language dates back only to about 7,000 B.C. In many cultures, myths were created to explain natural phenomena.
5. Myths and Ancient Civilizations In many cultures myths were developed to explain and make sense of the relationship between the Earth, the Sun, the Moon and the culture of people. In Viking mythology, two wolves named Skoll and Hati chase the sun and the moon. When the wolves catch either one, there is an eclipse. When the eclipse happens the people on Earth rush to rescue the sun or moon by making as much noise as possible in hopes of scaring off the wolves and the return of the sun or moon.
6. Over time As time goes on people notice things. For example, people must have noticed that regardless of them making loud noises and screaming, the sun and moon soon emerged from the eclipse. People also must have noticed that eclipses did not occur at random, rather they occurred in regular patterns that repeated themselves.
7. Eclipses Eclipses of the moon were most obvious and the ancient Babylonians were able to predict lunar eclipses fairly accurately. They did not however, understand that the eclipses were caused by the Earth blocking the light of the Sun. Solar eclipses were more difficult to predict because they are perceived only in a corridor on the earth that is about 30 miles wide.
8. “In ancient times it was natural to ascribe the violent acts of nature to a pantheon of mischievous or malevolent deities. Calamities were often taken as a sign that we had somehow offended the gods.” –Stephen Hawking Not having knowledge about nature’s laws led the ancient’s to invent gods over every aspect of human life. Such as gods of love and war, earthquakes and volcanoes.
9. Nature’s Ways Universal Laws
10. “The idea arose that nature follows consistent principles that could be deciphered. And so began the long process of replacing the notion of the reign of gods with the concept of a universe that is governed by laws of nature, and created according to a blueprint we could someday learn to read.” –Stephen Hawking
11. How can we understand this blueprint? As we look at our ancestors and the ancient civilizations before us, such as, Atlantis, Lemuria, Mu, Petranium, and Angala, we can come to understand more about the universe we share in. We must look at the ancient cultures of the Aztecs, Babylonians, Egyptians etc.
12. The big bang theory Is an effort to explain what happened during and after this moment. According to the standard theory, our universe sprang into existence as “singularity” around 13.7 billion years ago. They are thought to exist at the core of “black holes.” Black holes are areas of intense gravitational pressure.
13. Our universe is though to have began small, hot and dense. After its initial appearsance it apparently inflated, expanded and cooled. Going from very, very small and very, very hot, to the size and temperature of our current universe. It continues to cool and expand to this day.

15. Natural laws of the universe The law of vibration- states that everything vibrates and nothing rests. Everything is energy including you thoughts. Consistently focusing on a particular thought or idea attracts its vibration match. The law of Relativity- states that nothing is what it is until you relate it to something.
16. The law of Cause and Effect- states that for every action, there is an egual and opposite reaction. The law of Polarity- States that everything has an opposite. Ex. Hot-cold, Light-dark, Up-Down The law of rhythm- states that everything has a natural cycle. Ex. Night follows day. The tides go in and back out.
