Publisher's Description
Christians are increasingly challenged with evolutionary theories as the only models for the origins and history of the universe. But is there any valid scientifically testable alternative? Now available in trade paper, More Than a Theory offers a comprehensive, testable creation model. This fascinating book responds to the recent, well-publicized challenges from aggressive atheists who deny the existence of a Creator. It also reminds the scientific community of what constitutes good science and supplies Christians with the scientific information they need to defend their conviction that the Creator is the God of the Bible. Complete with appendices that put competing models for creation and/or evolution to the same kinds of tests, More Than a Theory is a bold and brave work of apologetics that will stir profitable discussion in both the scientific and the religious realms.

“Today, the benefits of the scientific community are sometimes mixed, especially when faith in the Creator is mocked as a concept. In this milieu, I know of no leader standing as a voice with clarity, dignity, and respectability like Hugh Ross. He provides believable and balancing insights that strengthen reasons to believe for any honest, thoughtful hearers. Scholarly insights join to an irenic tone—the truth and the temperament he brings unite to gain a climate that is at once enlightening and engaging.”
“This is a bold presentation that integrates many scientific disciplines into a fascinating, comprehensive view of the universe. Given the Big Bang’s well-accepted implication of a metaphysical cause for our universe, and string-theory awareness that reality exists in more than four dimensions, it’s worth the effort to reconcile artificial disciplines of pervasive physics with life science. The Bible’s challenge to test all things was bundled with a model procedure known today as the scientific method. The book contains concise but specific, scientifically testable proposals representing a spectrum of philosophical positions from materialistic evolution to theism to intentional design on an ancient earth to the very distinct position of young-Earth creationism. I invite anyone interested in this unnecessarily contentious and timely subject to take some reading time for a stimulating challenge to clarify issues and even be amazed at this big picture.”
“Ever since I built a telescope in the seventh grade, I have been fascinated by astronomy and the physical laws that govern our universe. Dr. Hugh Ross reinvigorates that interest with a compelling presentation of the order and magnitude of creation from the smallest subatomic particle to huge galaxies billions of light years distant from Earth. His latest book is a must-read for anyone interested in our origin.”
