B03055 - Universe By Design - PB

Some astronomers look at the stars and planets through a telescope. Author Danny Faulkner views them through a biblical perspective in this unique book. Written for high school through adult, Universe by Design explores and explains the historical development of astronomy, not neglecting current ideas in the field. From a creationist viewpoint, Faulkner demonstrates clearly that advanced science argues more for a created cosmology than a big bang. From the back cover: The universe was created with purpose and reason; and modern science with all of its experiments, exploration, and sophistication has never proven otherwise. In fact, as author Dr Danny Faulkner makes plain, advanced science argues more for a created cosmology than a big bang. Written for the upper-level student through the well-read layman, "Universe by Design" explores the universe, explaining its origins and discussing the historical development of cosmology from a creationist viewpoint. Includes:

• Recent developments in cosmology
• Explanatory diagrams and illustrations
• Theories and facts on the origin and expansion of the universe
• The contributions of Ptolemy, Galileo, Brahe, Newton, Hubble, Einstein, and other famous scientists in the field.
• Through discussion and problems with the big bang theory
• Many examples and analogies to help understand concepts of cosmology
• Difficulties and critiques of modern cosmology
• Chapter questions and answers for home school study
