The Creator and the Cosmos: How the Greatest Scientific Discoveries of the Century Reveal God Paperback – January 1, 1993

As a professional scientist with a background in both biochemistry and computer science, I have been struck with the arcane stories that otherwise logical scientists have posited to account for why the earth is the way it is, and why there is life on it. While they will generally agree on principles of thermodynamics, entropy, and the matter/energy/time inter-relationships that we now hold as scientific fact, they are particularly more "open minded" when it comes to non-theistic theories regarding the origins of life or the universe. In fact, it would seem that for years, concepts like an "ageless universe" and evolution have become very ingrained in much of the scientific community. In fact, logic seems to have been entirely abandoned by evolutionists that ardently deny creationism; even a marginal thinker eventually realizes that the only significant difference between the evolutionist view and creationist view is the number of creation events. Modern cosmology and origin of life theories the presume no divine element can be characterized generally as speculative and largely unsupported, BUT these very same notions together have become somewhat of an alter-religion in itself that seems to create quite a few believers of ardent faith (see other reviews of this book by those offended at Dr. Ross's view).Dr. Ross introduces the reader to a number of modern superstitious cosmology arguments and clearly shows how the latest advances in mathematics, physics, and astronomomy (particularly the dramatic discoveries of the Hubble telescope) do not support the modern alter-religion's notion of the universe. In fact, he takes the argument a step further and makes what I found to be a stunningly compelling case for the model set forth some thousands of years ago in the bible. Engaged by this notion when I first read this book some years ago, I conducted my own investion of these same matters and came to similar conclusions as Dr. Ross.I have always felt that science is at its very best when it evokes a sense of the divine. Indeed anyone reading this book may think much differently about the universe after reading the book than before. Since Dr. Ross wrote this book, several new books have been published on the same subject supporting Dr. Ross's perspective, and in fact there has been much more scientific evidence dug up that points that way. Perhaps it will not be long from today that in critical and intellectually rigorous circles, a writer may risk his or her credibility more by attempting to refute Dr. Ross's Christain view of the universe than by simply agreeing with it.There have been some minor disputes over whether Dr. Ross took some conclusions too far or misused a contant in some way. I have seen many of these objections and can say that some seem quite valid, some not valid, and many I just cannot tell because I'm not a mathematician. No matter, because even if every argument raised was conceeded by Dr. Ross, the validity of his principal arguments would be largely unchanged. They really add up to trivia in how they affect the overall argument.I recommend reading all Dr. Ross's books and then read all of attempts to refute him. To explain the same phenomen, the secular scientific critics violate Occam's Razor constantly, asserting arguments so illogical that one cannot but help but feel embarassed for them. Thank you Dr. Ross for giving scientists a reason to stay excited about the wonders that nature and the universe hold for us all.

Easy read. Author gives his view as to how the universe points to the God of the Christian Bible. Hi approach is logical and systematic, giving solid reasons for his choices. Good read. I had it out to people that believe in science and think the Bible conflicts with science (hint: there is no conflict).

The Creator and the Cosmos is a good book with lots of detail.

This book is amazing! A must buy for anyone looking for proof of Jesus! 10 stars

Fascinating take by a degreed physicist. Very, very interesting. Life altering? Because we are all children of the "enlightenment" and have thus been brainwashed with the notion that science refutes religion. In fact, from at least this fellows take, science, particularly physics the foundation of ALL SCIENCE, seems to support Judaeo Christian theology.

It clearly explains how the world HAD to have been created by a Supreme God. It gives the reasons for believing this is what happened, not a big bang that scientists are trying to prove. There is NO was this was an "accident". Where would the matter have come from to bang and create life?

Hugh does a detailed job of mathematically as well as scientifically aligning and proving Creationist point of view on creation and the universe.

I loved this book. It's appears to be well researched and though I don't necessarily agree with the author on all points, I would recommend reading it with a wide open mind. I'm thinking of sending it to my son who believes we are all just cosmic goo.

Very interesting

Great condition, thank you!

This book was sold in "very good" condition but has many crossed out lines with a thin bright pink pen. There was no mention of this in the description. Also the back cover is badly bent, damaged. See photos.

A very good read.

As described - excellent product and speedy delivery
