Customer Reviews

Excellent Exposition of Science and The Bible

This work by Dr Hugh Ross goes far in order to first establish what a scientific principle is, and later to use this definition in order to argue his case. Contrary to other reviewers, there is nothing that can be found in the way of pseudoscience in this work. All of the facts are presented objectively, and are quite scientific (take for example the WMAP of the background cosmic radiation, or the series of events that lead...

Scientifically credible defence of the Faith

Hugh Ross has pioneered a brand new, innovative, step forward in Christian apologetics that actually dares to take the science seriously.

Creation As Science develops a biblical creation model and compares the predictions of this model to naturalistic, young earth creationism, and theistic evolutionary models. This biblical creation model is divided into four main areas, the origin of the universe, the origin of the Solar System,...

Perhaps a start to meaningful dialogue with alternative camps?

While the four major "camps" around the evolutionary/creationism "debate" tend to avoid direct challenge(s) to their belief systems, Dr. Hugh Ross has put his (and his organization's, Reasons to Believe) belief system on the chopping block for all to see, challenge, and discuss. It is hoped that the other camps will do likewise. This is not the first time that Dr. Ross has attempted to enter into reasonable discussions with...
