Summary: Energy, the equivalent of mass; a radical conception, key to the atomic age. The idea expressed in E=MC² is actually quite simple. But it has caused a great revolution in scientific thinking. It means any object, a desk, a pencil, a piece of paper, just any bit of matter represents an unbelievable amount of energy. God of the Atom addresses man's spiritual bankruptcy and his need for regeneration." The Moody Institute of Science (MIS) films provided a religious interpretation for science, offering their viewers a glimpse of a natural world so complex that it could only be explained through the existence of a higher power or an intelligent designer. By 1956, these Creationist science films were used in 389 school systems in 46 states. 0:00 Main titles. The first atomic bomb is tested in New Mexico on July 16, 1945. The explosion melts steel and desert sand, producing dangerous radioactivity. 2:20 – Atomic energy is introduced as a power placed in matter by God, not a new discovery. The sun's energy is atomic in nature. 2:57 – Einstein’s equation, E=mc², is explained as the foundation of the atomic age. 3:28 – Everyday matter contains massive energy.4:42 – Matter is composed of tiny particles, and their rearrangement can be detected (e.g., through magnetism and sound). 5:43 – The "Barkhausen Effect" . 6:17 – A helium demonstration shows how sound travels faster in lighter gases, altering pitch. 7:14 – Air molecules are powerful despite being invisible; air pressure is the result of molecular bombardment. 8:36 – Microscopic smoke particles demonstrate how molecules can be observed through motion under a microscope. 9:20 – The chemical composition of water (H₂O) is explored using electrolysis to show hydrogen and oxygen components. 11:08 – Molecules are made of atoms, and atoms are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons—the building blocks of matter. 12:04 – Colossians 1 is quoted to highlight the theological belief that God holds all matter together. 13:12 – Chemical vs. nuclear energy: chemical energy has long powered industry, but nuclear energy is vastly more powerful. 14:04 – Nuclear fusion is explained using the proton-lithium reaction, releasing energy due to mass-to-energy conversion. 15:06 – The cyclotron is introduced as a particle accelerator used to generate nuclear reactions and create radioactive isotopes for medical use. 17:07 – Larger cyclotrons (like the 184-inch model) achieve higher particle velocities, requiring adjustments for mass increase at near-light speeds. 18:05 – Inside a functioning cyclotron, atomic particles are accelerated to tremendous energy levels for experimentation and application. 19:15 – The atomic bomb test at New Mexico is revisited, transitioning to its wartime use. 20:02 – Lawrence Johnston recounts his role in the Nagasaki bombing and the bomb's unimaginable power. 21:00 – A warning: future wars with atomic weapons could destroy civilization, and only divine help can truly change mankind. 22:01 – Operation Crossroads: Atomic bomb tests at Bikini Atoll aim to evaluate nuclear war's effects. 23:38 – Drones and instruments are prepared to collect data from inside the blast zone. 25:28 – A bomb is released and detonated as part of the tests; observers watch the aftermath unfold. 27:20 – A reflective message encourages turning back to God to avoid atomic catastrophe. 28:35 – Preparations begin for the next atomic test, "Baker Blast." 30:04 – Inside the control ship, scientists prepare the equipment to detonate the next bomb remotely. 31:39 – The Baker atomic bomb is detonated underwater. 33:07 – The film closes with a moral reflection: humanity’s problem is not weapons, but the condition of the human heart. Only God offers a real solution. 35:45 – The closing message declares this moment a global "crossroads" — a time of decision between life and death, through faith. Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.
