    I love how Dr. Ross harkens back to when he was 19 and the pivotal moments in that stage of life. One of the biggest moments in my life was when I was 19, arriving back to my shared apartment with my roommates from university. An epiphany descended upon me from the Almighty. I immediately knew that God could not possibly be an old man with a big white beard on a throne in the sky. It was that simple. That set me free. Free to explore the nature of Truth, of what is truly good, of beauty, etc. I could write several books on just how I came full circle to my faith in Christ. It took me to all ends of the earth.

    I loved this lecture and it gave me so much clarification of issues, questions. I did find it strange that he said Neanderthals didn’t wear clothing as I’m sure that’s incorrect. Also, I think that they became extinct for several reasons but mainly because God knew that we were the new and improved model and that he likely didn’t want to have us both exist together any longer for his own reasons, whatever they be. I do understand that some of us still carry their dna, which is no biggie but interesting for sure. I also have long understood that species are created fully formed, all at once and that creatures don’t evolve into other forms, it’s unproven nonsense. I love the thought of God creating living beings out of his will, out of thin air as it were! It’s beautiful, miraculous but also is the only thing that makes sense.

    Out of thin air" is not correct, and "from nothing" is incorrect. We use those fraises all the time but I wonder how any of us can mean them literally. God didn't create Adam out of thin air or from nothing, He did't even create the universe from nothing, out of thin air. As for Neanderthal, the findings are inconclusive, it may simple be that scientists contaminated their samples, or it could be as complicated as tho Neanderthals are animal, somehow their DNA is so close to human that cross breeding could have occurred. Adam's descendants became reprobate before the Noah's flood event, they may have been committing bestiality.

However, Exodus 20: 8-11 ties them directly to 24 hour periods. If Mr. Ross's theory is correct than Exodus would be wrong. It would take too much to point out his numerious other misinterpretations. However, the bottom line is this. The creation as described in Genesis and the modern universe of science can never be harmonized because they are completely different realities.

    I think his arguments against young earth sound very similar to the young earther arguments. The physical laws changed at least once from when they didn’t exist to when they did. I like this guys arguments very much but I would prefer a more humble response to young earthers because I don’t think his arguments are any more reliable than the young earthers. I think there is just too much that we don’t know and he does align the creation with historical Science however science could completely change their theories tomorrow. As I wrote this he kind of talked about being respectful and nice to eachother and I respect that. However he does not have a monopoly on the truth so I like his take but I’m not convinced he is right. I see it as a compelling argument. But I also see the young earth as a compelling argument also. I think we should follow the evidence and our beliefs but also be open to the possibility we are wrong.

    One explanation is that he’s “talking “ to himself in the triune being of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. How do we understand this triune nature? We don’t! It’s one of the mysteries and also just a way for the limited mind of a human to grasp a concept that is beyond our ability to comprehend. The creation cannot understand the ultimate creator and to even attempt to fully “know” is folly. The book was written for humans to understand as best as we can in our current, embodied and limited way. I personally embrace and accept that, at least while I’m living in a human body I’ll never be able to understand or comprehend the fullness of the creator.

    ​@@amytrumbull156 Hi, the Holy Trinity doctrine is critical to one's salvation. Some Christians go even to say if one rejects this doctrine, one is not saved. Let me explain: ▪︎I have searched long and hard, no one - pastors, Bible scholars and teachers can understand the Trinity. ▪︎If it is truly incomprehensible, or comprehensible to only a few, then how can the Christian community ever know who Jesus is. ▪︎If one cannot know who Jesus is, how does one love, follow and obey him? ▪︎Then, in what manner, can one hope to have his/her sins forgiven and be granted everlasting life? So, you see - holding by faith to the Holy Trinity as basis of salvation, only leads to one losing his/her salvation. If you find it more comforting, keep the Holy Trinity - but leave in the back-burner of your mind. But in your daily communion with God, apply this knowledge to establish grounding of your relationship with them. ▪︎The Father is the LORD God - the Almighty and Most High of all. ▪︎The Son is Jesus Christ, Son of the LORD God, sent by the Father as Son of Man, to bring about salvation of the world. ▪︎The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the LORD God and the spirit of Jesus - as one. Until you have come to the Father (Jn 14:6), address Him as "the LORD". (For other gods may respond if you asked for "God".) Until you are certain you personally know Jesus, call out to him as "Lord Jesus" or "Jesus Christ". (For there are others who also bear the name "Jesus") May the LORD God bless you through the ministry of Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit.

    Secular science has their "Mitochondrial Eve" - the woman that we can all trace our mitochondrial DNA back to. They claim that there must have been women before her but obviously there had to have been a first human woman, even from a naturalist standpoint. In any case, she existed and knowing that she did we have to infer that inbreeding happened in human history. Her daughters were the only women to pass on her DNA. It's interesting to ask a nonbeliever why they're comfortable with this incest happening in a world of cold determinism but are suddenly offended if God allowed it. At the end of the day it's just another dishonest argument on their side - genetic bottlenecks have to exist in all species even from the evolutionary point of view (when species evolve there can't be more than two new members: the likelihood of it happening once seems to be astronomical but there needs to be two who find each other and mate) and that's seen as perfectly fine until somebody mentions Jesus and then suddenly they're scoffing and nudging each other over the "immorality" or "scientific ignorance" of God.

    The question you should be asking is - why did god create the universe twice? Genesis 1 to Genesis 2 3 ends with ‘Thus the heavens and the earth were completed’. Then Genesis 2 4 starts creation again with ‘This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the Lord God made the earth and the heavens’ Why did the god make it twice? The patriarchs, Abraham, Noah, Jacob, etc. were Caananites and worshipped a council of gods with El at the head, he had a wife/consort Ashera and his council of gods included Baal, Mot, Yam, Ashtar, Shahar and many others who all had different duties and responsibilities, collectively called the Elohim, you see evidence of this in the names of people and places, ie Isra-el, Dani-el etc. etc. It wasn’t until around 500-600BCE, during the Babylonian exile that the banished priests began worshipping Yahweh, a monotheistic deity. They rewrote the old myths and legends to urge the Israelites to worship the new god concept. That’s why there are two creation accounts, two flood stories, two sets of Ten Commandments. Genesis 1 to Genesis 2 verse 3 is the account of the Elohim creating the heavens and earth, in the Hebrew Bible it calls them the Elohim, translated simply as ‘god’ in the English versions. “Then god (Elohim) said, let us (plural) make mankind in our (plural) image, in our (plural) likeness”. Genesis 2 1 “Thus the heavens and earth were completed” and the account finishes with the Elohim resting on the seventh day. Then Genesis 2 verse 4 begins the story again with Yahweh (translated as ‘Lord god’ or ‘Lord’) as the creator. “This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the Lord god (Yahweh) made the earth and the heavens”. After the conversion to monotheism the worship of the old gods was frowned upon, statues of Ashera were smashed and burnt, and her name removed from the biblical record, and in Kings, Elijah tests the priests of Baal before discrediting and slaughtering them for worshipping the gods that their own ancestors, the patriarchs, worshipped. Psalm 82: El (god) has taken his place in the divine council, among the Elohim (gods) he judges.

The idea that the spirit of god Hovered over the water being the same as the point of view of this book is someone hovering over the water below the clouds is not a natural following of the text. For example is it even possible for god to have a point if view since he is everywhere?

    Do animals go to heaven? It’s a question most of us have pondered, especially after losing a beloved animal companion. The Bible actually has a lot to say on this topic. And for those of us who hope to spend eternity with our animal family members, it’s good news. Several Bible verses depict animals in heaven: The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the cobra’s den, and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” -Isaiah 11:6-9 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying, ‘To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!’” -Revelation 5:13

    Not sure what's going on here. If made so plausible with all these qualifications (an education in itself; who has it?), then the Bible should have mass appeal. Everything makes specific sense now whereas there was mystery before with the onus on believing rather than understanding. If we were to rewrite the Bible the way Dr. Ross has it, would we still have, as a result, the Bible, or some other work? I am not sure where to draw a line. So many versions of the Bible have been written but all maintain a high degree of the supernatural and hard to grasp. Why has the "Dr. Ross Bible" not yet been written? Or has it? And how far can we bend science to incorporate the "facts" of the Bible? I'd love to follow Dr. Ross, but am not sure about the role and extent of interpretation, even, or especially, if correct! What happens to the Bible and us? What remains to believe? And wasn't faith the cornerstone of Christianity? I am now very much puzzled. I wrote to Reasons in Canada about just this point but haven't got a reply as yet.

    Nick, the Bible is the word of God and Dr Hugh Ross is a highly gifted man of God who believes in the inerrancy of the Bible. Being an astrophysicists he sees the glory of God's creation and realises that the heavens DECLARES the glory of God as the Bible states. So the book of Nature is the scientific evidence that confirms the authenticity of the Bible. There has NEVER been a scientific discovery that contradicts the Bible. Dr Ross uses his great gift to show how there is no contradiction between the book of Scripture and the book of Nature. God doesn't expect his children to have blind faith, that's why He sent His Son Jesus Christ down to dwell amongst us and prove that He is one with God Father. He did this by fulfilling Scripture and working miracles to prove who He is, the Son of God. Dr. Hugh Ross makes that easy for us to understand by using the great gift of comprehension and combining the 64 books of Scripture using the scientific method which came from the Bible; put everything to the test and hold fast to that which is good. Very few people have the capability to collate the 64 books of the Bible as Hugh Ross has and integrate them with such wisdom and knowledge of the universe and the workings of God's Laws of physics. The more scientific and archaeological discoveries that are made the more proof of the accuracy of the Bible. I thank God for people like Dr Ross who can show the truth of the Bible in simplicity. God bless you. Maranatha

    The Bible was written for Believer of God & His Word. Jn.18v37, Jn.8v31+. Deut. 8 v3 quoted by Jesus in Matt.4v4, which includes Jere.17v5. I agree with you Nick. Why should I depend on all unbelieving Hebrew scholars, who if they were led by God would follow Jesus & teach us Mark 11v24- 26.. ; HOW to forgive from the heart, & know Jesus' overcoming Peace, Matt.18v35, Mk.11v24- 26, Jn.17v26. THIS HAS ALL TO DO WITH BELIEVING GOD'S PROMISES & THEIR EVIDENCE. I DONT THINK THAT BELIEVING CONTRADICTIONS TO GOD'S WORD WILL HELP US :Gen 3, Matt.4 Even in the english language,the word 'day' has various meanings, & Jesus says, 'Are there not 12 hours in a day' So whatever the various meanings of 'day', are in the Bible, The Word of God says, " God separated the light from the darkness. The light he called day, & the darkness He called night. And the evening & the morning was the first day. So in one verse God used the word day in 2 different ways. ? IS GOD LIMITED BY THE LAWS OF SCIENCE WHICH HE SET UP? HOW DID JESUS FILL THE NET WITH FISH & LATER PUT A COIN IN THE BELLY OF THE FIRST FISH THAT HE SENT PETER TO CATCH? IS GOD telling us to ignore the non- scientific appearence of the account in genesis because it means something that only SOME SCIENTISTS CAN EXPLAIN? DoES NOT GOD SAY THAT HE CREATED THE HEAVENS & THE EARTH & EVERYTHING IN THEM IN 6 DAYS? & CONFIRMED IT IN EXODUS 20? SO WHY SHOULD i listen to a man who speaks of miracles yet implies evolution. LISTEN TO PROFESSOR OF BIOLOGY, Dr. Gary Parker ( Creation, The facts of Life).. who explains why evolution depends on suffering ,decay, and death, when it clearly states that the animals & man, were created to eat plants, not to kill for food, Gen 1v29,30..Listen to James Tour, professor of Biochemistry. SO WHY, as a believer in God's written Promises, Wisdom & Warnings, DO I need a deep sccentific expert to explain & give better understanding of details & correction of what God says. Is it so that I believe in Him, and be recommended to spend time listening to thieir special interpretIons, & read their books to undertand better & so help an atheist to believe?? which they say is confirmed by modern scientific findings?? FO I NEED ALL THIS TO HELP AN UNBELIEVER, WILL MY OVERRCOMING PEACE & POWER OF LOVE FROM MY SAVIOUR, GIVE LIGHT TO THE UNBUEVER OF HOW GOD'S KNOWLEDGE ; PROMISES ARE TRUE & VITAL FOR QUALITY LIFE IN ME, INORDER TO REPAIR BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS?? DO I NEED THIS, WHEN God has given me faith in His Word, His precious promises, His Warnings to believers Jn.12v 35, MARK 4v23- 25 , & His faithful fellowship, to teach me all that I need, to be set free from the misleading & Dominion of SIN Gen.4v7..?? JER 17v5 WARNS US, & Prov. 3 5-6 INSTRUCTS us, to acknowledge GOD , God's ADVICE in ALL OUR WAYS... THIS IS CALLED BELIEVING IN JESUS, WHO IS, THE WORD OF GOD..

    Reasons to deceive, Hugh Ross. This cult leader plays a game, and pretends to exude humility and sincerity, but he is proud, puffed up and arrogant. He deludes himself, and thinks he is some kind of gnostic. He writes a book titled "Why the universe is the way it is". As though he has all the answers. Ross rejects the creation account, and contaminates scripture with Big Bang secular philosophies that directly contradict scripture. He rejects the global flood and says it was just a local flood, and believes there was death before Adam's sin. He claims there were "pre-adamites". (people who supposedly lived before Adam). His faith is in Big Bang, and he has constructed a religious cult that conforms to it. Don't be so easily deceived, people...Gods word warns of these types in the last days.

    He is not an ancient Hebrew and no Hebrew existed at the time these events occurred. Instead he is looking and observing what can be seen in the sky right now and observing what happened so very long ago because the time the light has traveled to reach the earth is from the beginning. Hebrew has nothing to do with it. The speculation that birds came from dinosaurs is in question. He did discuss that phylum were created before species. He did site those references. The opposite of what would be expected from natural selection. He did not draw a conclusion as it is still in question. The science keeps changing from what was a great guess towards what was written thousands of years ago... written by a Hebrew hand, okay maybe so, but regardless of the ghost writer, the author was the entity dictating to the ghost writer... that is the point. He is not talking about an ancient Hebrew religion or culture. He is talking about a creative entity that connects with His creation to form a relationship. Dr. Ross is like God's pet dog.

    The problem I see here is the erroneous assumption that (i) our universe is physical and (ii) there's a personal deity operating outside our purview. Einstein was game enough to admit that our (material) reality is mere illusion, albeit it a very persistent one. He saw good sense in Spinoza's mature Monistic notion of God. I agree with him. We're more than just passive bystanders (believers) in Creation. The dualistic model of the Old Testament is for the kids amongst us on spiritual trainer wheels and as yet unable to see who and what we really are. The great quantum physicists have realised science's incompetence in dealing with Ultimate Reality. Our physical existence is a minor part of our being. We're in a school that affords us a chance of growing in consciousness. That's more than Christianity permits with its dualism and prison of dogma and stagnant tradition. Time to get real, folks.

It is logical to say the the sun moves around the earth, because relative to you it does. Genesis though does not say that that, nor does it say that the earth is at the centre of the cosmos. It does say there is more in the universe than in your philosophy though

    Believing because someone, a long time ago, believed a made up story, is a poor excuse to believe.

    Right you are, but prophets were inspired by God to write what they did, also it is by God that understanding is given to you, if you dont understand maybe it isn't for you.

    @@SamytheGreek It seems rather unlikely that anyone was devinly inspired to write anything. Considering the fact that only one percent of the biblical era people could both read and write, and those were likely scribes. As the supposed disciples were fishermen and common folk, at best their narrative was handed down over the generations and likely embellished. The tales were in fact used by the Romans to mollify the illiterate early Christians. This was far easier and less expensive than deploying an army to subdue them. The first bible was, in fact, ordered by the Roman emperor Constantine and was written in accordance with his wishes. This brings significant doubt concerning the authenticity of the bible. Further, the first Catholic Church had as its pope a close relative of the emperor. All of the above and the unlikely tales told, casts many serious doubts on the whole thing.

    It takes gullibility to consider sacred the claims like invisible beings, talking snake / donkey, sin-salvation, demon pigs, 900 yrs old man, virgin birth, walking on water, turning water into wine, resurrection, flying chariots of fire, curses, levitation into clouds, etc. It takes motivated ignorance & arrogance to believe the burden of disproving the claim is on those who are not gullible.

    Sorry but this person has something very creepy about him. He is too confident and too calm in the way he talks. True scientists do not talk like that. So I am very suspicious about his theories and preaching mode. To use the Bible as a reference is extremely suspect in scientific terms.

    People like Hitler or Mussolini cannot live long lives. Death is the cost of sin. A sinful man will not live a long life. Your reasoning may be a bit off.
