Primordiumof the imagined planet born from a star, the sun, orbiting it with eight others; ours the Earth - the third and only habitable planet, fiery and chaotic beyond imagination but gradually cooled off some one billion years ago;
Primordium earth was lifeless with ever-changing landscape, seascape, atmosphere, only fiction can portray with modern tools, simulating the geologic processes gradually and spontaneously giving birth to protolife in pre-cellular forms;
Primordium protolife Russian scientist Alexander Oparin offered to explain: molecules combining in random and in countless yet slimiest possibilities formed the first protein molecules from which " the spark of life" mysteriously arose;
Primordium of the ancestral origin of life, the Monerans or prokaryotes - bacteria and cyanophytes, unicellular organisms later evolved into nucleated Protists while retaining their original forms that make us believed they are living fossils today;
Primordium of life explosion and proliferation occurred as free Oxygen, the by-product of early photosynthesis by cyanophytes continuously favored aerobic organisms to spread out in number, size, and complexity into the living system;
Primordium of the sudden proliferation of life on land, in water in fact everywhere, defies the principles that govern the natural world we call today as Nature; that life is always part of Nature, and without Nature our planet would be a lifeless one;
Primordium Nature in theory and indirect evidences, deepened by faith in a Great Maker, began to reveal more mysteries, challenge great minds, seek adventure; build universities and churches, business establishments notwithstanding;
Primordium of the integration and interconnections of living things among themselves on one hand, and the living and the non-living world on the other; but primarily to revive and strengthen Aristotelian doctrine "that creation serve man."
Primordium in exploitation of Nature, nomadic tuned into agriculture and birth of communities, changing natural order and defying the Nature's laws, building big business on Nature: plantation to agribusiness to genetic engineering;
Primordium in genetic engineering is playing God's role, defying age-old values and tradition and embracing change, swift and chartless it may be, all in the name of progress defined in materialistic terms, affluence and the "Good Life."
Primordium of the Good Life: population explosion, global warming, wanton destruction of natural resources, worsening pollution worldwide, runaway social media creating cyber pollution that destroys the integrity of knowledge and values;
Primordium in shrinking the world into a village, condensing man's lifetime into careers, riches, pleasure sans true happiness - and in search of that happiness millions resort to vices and drugs, succumb to passivity and self destruction;
Primordium in myth - disobedient Icarus, tragic Narcissus, ambitious Cleopatra, the
madman who destroyed the Pieta; where is the boy on the dike who saved Holland, the likes of Malala Yousafzai, Wangari who planted a million trees, and their kind?
Primordium is reverse evolution which Darwin downplayed though true, the return of man to the primitive, weapons of mass destruction ticking where millions and millions are potential victims of postmodern Armageddon.
Primordium and Armageddon hand on hand, take us back into pre-civilization,
unless we heed Plato's Allegory, Nostradamus prophesy, Toffler's Future Shock, so with Tolstoy's War and Peace, Gibbon's Rise and Fall of Civilizations.
Primordium in inventions gone wild threaten man as a species, other creatures as well, and the world itself before its own time and destiny: splitting the atom, cracking the code of life, inventing the microchips, and their consequent and collective effects;
Primordium in "progress" and breakthroughs in science and technology, advancement of culture and civilization masked like curtain on the world stage the march of the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse into another upheaval; would man still be around? ~
