 Book Reviews The Genesis Question: Scientific Advances By Hugh Ross Reviewed by Robert P. Mills Nov/Dec, 1999 |
||
Hugh Ross has become one of the most visible and respected commentators on the interface between Christian faith and modern science. With a Ph.D. in astronomy and 11 years experience as a minister of evangelism, he bridges disciplinary divides with accuracy and ease. In this book Ross relates contemporary scientific theories and discoveries to Genesis 1-11. The opening chapters deal with the “days” of creation, illustrating the remarkable fine-tuning required for earth to support human life and showing how precisely Genesis coincides with scientific discoveries about the earth’s 4.5 billion-year history. The closing chapters cover Genesis 3-11, treating such perennial questions as long human life spans, the flood, the ark and the origin of races and nations. Ross conveys scientific and Biblical information without becoming pedantic, and defends his positions without becoming mean-spirited. For those who have been troubled by the opening chapters of the Bible, The Genesis Question offers thoughtful, faithful answers. |
