Description: Increasingly astronomers recognize that if the cosmos had not unfolded exactly as it did, humanity would not, could not, exist. Yet these researchers--along with countless ordinary folks--resist belief in the biblical Creator. Why? They say a loving God would have made a better home for us, one without trouble and tragedy. In Why the Universe Is the Way It Is, Hugh Ross draws from his depth of study in both science and Scripture to explain how the universe's design fulfills several distinct purposes. He also reveals God's surpassing love and ultimate purposes for each individual. Why the Universe Is the Way It Is will interest anyone who wonders where and how the universe came to be, what or who is responsible for it, why we are here, or how and when the universe ends. Far from leaving the reader at this philosophical jumping-off point, Ross builds toward answering the big question of human destiny and the specific question of each reader's personal destiny.

Details: Dr. Ross hits another home run with this book. If you like astronomy/cosmology, etc. then you will enjoy this book. It is packed with interesting facts about the latest discoveries of our universe and how they point to a Creator.

It will change the way you look at the universe, and it will add a whole new dimension to the way you see God's handiwork.

Date: 2008-11-18
Details: This may be Dr. Ross' most accessible book for people seeking to understand life's big questions and how science comes into play. This is also an important book in that it stands against the current onslaught of atheist attacks, answering their "toughest" questions. Science shows atheism is neither rational nor intellectually tenable.

Details: This book is mind-boggling! Based on scientific data, it not only shows why the universe is as it is, it also gives insight about God and sheds light on the significance and purpose of human beings. There's lots of meat in this book.
Review Summary: This might be one of the most important books ever written.

Details: This is a WOW book that can be understood by someone who is not an astronomer. The book answers the big Why questions such as why we are here. If you need more detail, read Hugh's "The Creator and the Cosmos".
