Understanding God's Universe
Journey Through Space, Time, and the Bible
Journey Through Space, Time, and the Bible
Are you drawn to science? Do you believe that science and Christianity are in conflict and that science has disproved the Bible? Then I have news for you. God’s creation is consistent with His word in the Bible. Recent scientific breakthroughs, such as Einstein’s Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, point to God.
This book examines assumptions scientists make when developing theories about the past, such as the Big Bang Theory. It also addresses questions regarding scientific worldviews, reasons why we can trust the Bible, and the incredible physical laws governing our universe.
Studies have shown that 60% to 90% of Christian college students leave the church while attending secular schools. These students are thrust into an environment where the authority of scientists, teachers, and textbooks speaks louder than the authority of God’s word. They are not prepared with answers to the questions they encounter and have not been exposed to the scientific evidence that confirms the Biblical account of history.
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech; they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world
(Psalm 19:1-4)
