“All of the Apollo stuff is incredibly well documented,” says screenwriter Josh Singer. The commitment to verisimilitude for the sequence went all the way back to the script stage. As unbelievable as this may sound, virtually all of the landing sequence was shot in-camera, with practical effects. This chronicle of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and the myriad other people who first took humankind to the lunar surface reaches its exhilarating climax when the astronauts of the Apollo 11 mission arrive on the moon. Just ask director Damien Chazelle and the rest of the team behind one of this awards season’s most acclaimed pictures, First Man. They could have been a race that went into extinction well before the emergence of modern man.It took nearly 50 years, but we finally have proof that you can fake a moon landing. The remains of bodies found there resemble mankind except for the oddly shaped skulls. Quite a few of those discovered revel a technological understanding that science says could not possibly have been in use so long ago.Ī few think that a frozen city discovered in Antarctica might be the proof needed to prove the existence of pre-Adamite civilizations. The question they pose is whether there were cities and empires prior to Adam. Underwater civilizations have been found in various places, ranging from Jamaica to Egypt to China. However, some recent discoveries are well past the understanding of both science and religion. If you look at Job in the Old Testament, there is an indication that they were around when mankind came into being. For example, we have scientific proof that dinosaurs once existed. While it is believed that scientific thought and religious belief are complete opposites, we have seen that gulf being bridged in the past few years. We might just be missing some essential parts of the tale it is trying to tell us. While science often complements some of the events in the Bible, it is also entirely possible that there are some gaps in it because of the intense editing and translating that it has undergone over centuries.

In recent years, explorers have discovered whole cities submerged in the oceans. The same text tells us that only water existed. If we go back to the very beginning of Genesis, it tells us that the Earth lacked both form and void, exactly what it would have been like if a disastrous calamity had befallen it. It could be that this calamity bore a different Adam and Eve, thereby beginning a new cycle. If you take the story of Noah, it says that out of all mankind, only Noah and his kin were saved. It is not clear whether Adam and Eve were the first people to be created because Genesis is not a chapter that talks in specificities. Scriptural evidence would have us believe that the earth is only around 6000 years old but science says otherwise. It states that a new era of humanity will come forth every 7000 years. The Bible clearly mentions certain incidents that happened in the past and will happen again eventually.

Among those who follow Christianity as well as other religions, many do believe that mankind as we know it were not the first intelligent creatures to walk the Earth.
