Why the Universe Is the Way It Is

Hugh Ross

“Why?” may be the most common and emotionally charged question in human experience.

With the Bible in one hand and the latest scientific findings in the other, astronomer Hugh Ross tackles many of our most pressing cosmic “why” questions. If God made the universe,
• why would he make it so vast?
• why would he wait to bring humans onto the scene?
• why would he allow decay and death to be part of it?
• why would he let one man and one woman ruin it for everyone?
• why should I believe my life has any real meaning?
• why is the future of the cosmos so bleak?

Within these pages you will find compelling answers to these questions–answers that give you reasons to believe that our finely tuned universe “shouts loudly that life is more than a cosmic accident.”

“This book will expand your mind with the universe it describes. It is a challenging, fascinating, and mind-stretching discussion of the nature and purpose of our amazing universe in the light of Scripture by one of America’s foremost evangelical astronomers.”–Norman L. Geisler, cofounder and former dean of Southern Evangelical Seminary

“Absolutely delightful! Ross’s ability to take science and show the biblical correlation in prophecy and application is unparalleled; it makes God’s wisdom and the biblical text seem so much more magnificent.”–James M. Tour, Chao Professor of Chemistry, professor of computer science, professor of mechanical engineering and materials science, Rice University, Smalley Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology

“A groundbreaking look at the enduring questions that confront every person regarding our existence. Utilizing today’s cutting-edge scientific research from a Christian worldview, Ross offers the most developed answers to date on key concerns regarding creation, God, and humanity. This book is a must-read for anyone who craves scientific information that interacts with tough biblical issues.”–John Ankerberg, bestselling author and host of the John Ankerberg Show

“Ross simultaneously challenges skeptics and Christians alike with his fresh take on scientific discoveries that point to the existence of God.”–Ben Young, Second Baptist Church, Houston; author of Why Mike’s Not a Christian

You will discover:
• How to flip the light switch, expose the fears, and identify common lies you’ve been soothing for far too long.
• The small steps that will significantly impact you in becoming smarter and stronger while you wait in the process.
• How God has already written you win all over your story, and how to see it and say it while understanding God’s purpose is always bigger than what you can think or even imagine.
• How to lead yourself well and discover the purpose God has placed in you, removing the confusion of knowing how to start.

If you long to get moving, discover what God made possible in you, and be the world changer God’s called you to be, this book is for you.
