Description
The Heavens truly do declare creation! I am always amazed when I look into the night sky. I wonder how anyone can look at the vastness and not believe in an awesome, powerful God. You can tell by the statement I've made that I have a Christian worldview. Dr. Jason Lisle discusses popular theories and ideas about the universe in light of worldview bias and what the Bible has to say. Big Bang theory, age of the universe, alien life and more are discussed using scripture to analyze. It is refreshing to read a book about astronomy that declares God's glory! Although he presents very detailed information, it is presented in a way that any person with a little knowledge of astronomy can understand. This is an attractive hardcover book with beautiful photographs and illustrations. Information is divided into 5 chapters titled The Splendor of God's creation; The Universe Confirms the Bible, The Age of the Universe, The Bible and Modern Astronomy, and War of the Worldviews. Endnotes give fine details not included in the main part of the text, and a glossary offers definitions of terms that may be new to you. You'll learn about nebula, star clusters, galaxies, planets, comets and much more from a Christian perspective.
The Bible is the history book of the universe as well as the authoritative word of God. It has proven its accuracy repeatedly, and so it stands to reason that it would be accurate when it comes to the origin and age of the universe and the topic of the heavens. As Christians we need to understand how the Bible supports and explains phenomena we encounter in the realm of nature. This is more than a book about astronomy; it's about your worldview. ~ Donna
