Here's your host, Dr. Jack Logan. Welcome to the ancient tradition. I'm your host,

Jack Logan. Great to have all of you with me today. Today's the day. Today's the day we've been

working towards for over a year. We're finally here.

Today we finally get to talk about the appearance of the first tiny particles of visible matter to form in the cosmos.

Tierra firma. The first solid land to rise out of the depths of the dark primordial waters of chaos.

This day marks the day order triumphed over the dragon. This day marks the day, order triumphed over chaos.

This day marks the day the triumphant son was rewarded with his inheritance for conquering the dragon, a kingdom. This day marks the day

the triumphant son's kingdom became a physical reality in the cosmos. It's a glorious, glorious day. In fact, in the biblical canon in Job
