Beautiful Universe
Seeing the Invisible Hand of God Through Faith and Science
-
Two-thirds of Christian college students walk away from their faith. Nearly a third cite science as a key reason. They think they have to choose: their brain or their beliefs.
-
Choosing between science and faith is a false choice. They aren't enemies—they're complementary ways of seeing the same beautiful truth.
-
The book tackles the five flashpoints where science and Scripture supposedly clash: Big Bang vs. Genesis, fine-tuning, origin of life, biological complexity, and human uniqueness.
-
True vision requires both eyes. Science reveals how the universe works. Faith reveals why it exists. Close either eye, and you lose depth. Open both, and you see clearly.
“Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time.
He has planted eternity in the human heart.
But even so, people can not see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.”
Ecclesiastes 3:11
