One of the many films from the Moody Science Institute’s “Sermon from Science” series, this color educational film “Time and Eternity” is about time and space. It is hosted by Dr. Irwin A. Moon. Copyright is 1955. Irwin A. Moon founded the Moody Institute of Science (MIS) in Whittier, California under the auspices of the Chicago-based Moody Bible Institute. MIS media in general is pro-creationist and, despite its title, typically anti-science with a view that “God is responsible” for all things on Earth.

Title: Moody Institute of Science presents Time and Eternity (:12-:46). Our host, Dr. Irwin A. Moon, starts to explain what it is we’ll be seeing. He turns over a hourglass or sand clock and it starts to measure the passage of time. We’re going to discuss time. He goes into a laboratory where a skilled technician, Pete, has a camera set up. A super high speed 16mm motion picture camera. The two men discuss. Milk is going to be used in this experiment. Dr. Moon starts the camera. Milk droplets drop down and splash in slow motion (:47-3:48). Dr. Moon drops a steel ball into milk, the camera shows it splash down and pop up in slow motion, before splashing down again. Dr. Moon and Pete ready for another experiment. Pete sets up an egg and Dr. Moon fires an arrow at it. The slow motion shows the arrow rip through and destroy the egg. UCLA – a high speed camera shows a car hit a wall in slow motion. Dr. Moon elaborates about time (3:49-6:31). Dr. Moon steps into another laboratory. He winds a clock. Time compressor shows a clock moving fast and time marching on. He puts a rose near the clock and compresses 72 hours of time into 18 seconds when its sped up. Dr. Moon appears unshaven, he hasn’t shaved since he set the rose up. Now he is shaved for the next experiment (6:32-9:34). He holds a film strip. Blackness. Slowly light comes up, time lapse film shows clouds move, shadows start to leave the Grand Canyon, a storm begins over mountains. All of this footage is sped up to super speeds as clouds move, shadows form, night overtakes day. The sun shines again and sets. Earth as seen from space. Stars in the night sky. Dawn comes up, sped up (9:35-12:33). Traffic on freeways is shown in fast motion, the car exits a ramp, goes down a city street, pulls into a parking lot, people walk and exit cars. People move around the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. People go up the stairs, walk, and enter the facility (this is shown super fast as well). The L.A. Coliseum fills with people and then a UCLA football game occurs. People cheer, a band marches, it’s halftime and then game resumes. The people start to leave, the sun starts to set. Sky at dusk and then it gets dark. Sped up film shows Los Angeles at night and then fog/clouds move in. The sun starts to rise over a mountain again (12:34-15:08). Dr. Moon stands in front of a chalkboard. He writes E=mc2 and talks about Einstein. He writes Time and space on the board. A cyclotron is shown, it’s a type of particle accelerator invented by Ernest O. Lawrence in 1929–1930 at the University of California, Berkeley, and patented in 1932. A cyclotron accelerates charged particles outwards from the center along a spiral path (15:09-17:15). Dr. Moon jots down numbers on the chalk board. He talks about a scenario with time and space. He puts a microphone to his heart. He starts a clock. An experiment to speed up the room to the speed of light will be done. First it is done horizontally, then vertically, everything seems to slow down (17:16-21:19). Dr. Moon holds a Panavision lens. Mathematical formulas are shown on a chalk board. Atomic bombs going off (21:20-22:25). Dr. Moon discusses God and space, merges his hands together. He mentions how the past remains in the present. Andromeda Nebula picture. Dr. Moon discusses time and space. He begins talking more about God and forgiveness (22:26-28:18). End credits (28:19-28:26).
