Preface to the Third Edition
The first and second editions of The Creator and the Cosmos focused
attention on twentieth-century scientific discoveries that contributed
most profoundly to the credibility of faith in the God of the Bible.
Since the dawn of the twenty-first century, several more scientific
discoveries of great theological importance have been made. Therefore, I
have rewritten much of the book, giving it a twenty-first century
facelift.
This third edition includes more than seventy pages of new content.
Three new chapters and an appendix have been added. The number of
references to the scientific literature has nearly doubled.
This edition has benefited significantly from the comments and
suggestions of people who were compelled by their reading of the second
edition to commit their lives to Jesus Christ. Thanks to them and to the
many other friends who recommended improvements, readers , I trust, find
much in this third edition to further inspire and strengthen their faith
in the awesome Creator. - Hugh Ross, author
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.
