Development of the scientific creation-model concept represents one of Hugh Ross's most significant contributions to Christian apologetics. This new book explains why a testable model is essential, outlines the basic components of Reason To Believe's model, and includes predictions about the direction of future research. Ross brings a calm, confident voice to the acrimonious clash between intelligent design/creation and evolution advocates. He understands why naturalists cling to their evolutionary models despite serious weaknesses--models that ultimately thwart scientific progress and leave humanity without hope or purpose. Everyone can benefit from a new and better scientific model to explain the world around us, especially a model that attests the accuracy and authority of the Bible!
Hugh Ross
Hugh Ross launched his career at age seven when he went to the
library to find out why stars are hot. Physics and astronomy captured
his curiosity, and they never let go. He was the youngest person--at age
seventeen--ever to serve as director of observations for Vancouver's
Royal Astronomical Society. With the help of a provincial scholarship
and a National Research Council (NRC) of Canada fellowship, Hugh
completed his undergraduate degree in physics (University of British
Columbia) and graduate degrees in astronomy (University of Toronto). The
NRC also sent him to the United States for postdoctoral studies at
Caltech, where he researched quasi-stellar objects, or "quasars," some
of the most distant and ancient objects in the universe.
Not all Hugh's discoveries had to do with astrophysics. He observed with
amazement the impact of describing for people both inside and outside
his collegial community the process by which he came to personal faith
in Jesus Christ. A few expressed dismay but most seemed overjoyed to
meet someone who started at (or near) religious ground zero and through
reality testing, both scientific and historical, became convinced that
the Bible is truly the Word of God. For his part, Hugh was stunned to
discover how many individuals believed--or disbelieved--blindly, without
checking evidence.
