Book Review: Beyond the Cosmos: What recent discoveries in Astronomy and Physics Reveal about the Nature of God


Author: Dr. Hugh Ross
Spiritual Bias: Christian
Origins Bias: Progressive Old Earth Creationist
Rating: Middle of the Road
Level: Advanced

Comments: Hugh discusses some heady topics such as string theory and ten dimensional space and explains how some of the new discoveries in physics and astrophysics can help explain some of the biblical paradoxes. This book is a good one if you just want to ponder about God's awesome powers.

Sample Quote: A few thousand years before physicists conceived of general relativity, the space-time theorem, quarks, supersymmetry, unified field theories, and vibrating strings, a written document described extra-dimensional reality. That document is the Bible. While the marshaling of the scientific and philosophical wherewithal to discover the existence of dimensions beyond length, width, and time must rank as one of the greatest human achievements of the twentieth century, far more amazing is the Bible writers' depiction of phenomena in dimensions beyond the length, width, height, and time humans can experience or mentally picture."
