Hugh Ross presents cogent reasons for the convergence of faith and science

Hugh Ross, founder of the influential Christian think-tank Reasons To Believe (RTB), encourages us to at least try to advance a step beyond ourselves as we chase our imaginations to the heavens so we can conceive the truth about God’s existence even in the midst of overwhelming—yet scarce—scientific pieces of evidence on the origin of the universe.

Ross believes that humanity can both marvel at the achievements of science and wonder at the inspirations of faith. He impressively strikes a fine balance between the cogent scientific principles on the cosmic origin of the universe and the lucid biblical accounts on creation. On one hand, Hugh Ross attempts to rationalize our faith on the existence of God through the evidence of science, while on the other hand, he introduces arguments in favor of the need for science’s recognition of a divine creator even through a simple leap of faith.

Ross is both a serious man of science and an ardent Christian believer who recognizes God’s handiwork in the cosmic origin of the universe. Indeed, for Ross, the problem is not at all complicated and difficult to understand. He simply maintains that the moment we break free from the narrow compass of our understanding, we’ll begin to recognize that there are really certain principles which operate in the world that suggests intelligent design.

Hugh Ross closes divisive gap between faith and science

Amidst the age-old, divisive polemics between faith and science, astronomer Hugh Ross gives us reasons to believe that it is possible to bring these frontiers together and close the gap to create a chance for convergence.

Dr. Ross, founder of the influential Christian think-tank Reasons To Believe (RTB), demonstrates that science has the capacity to affirm our faith and confirm the veracity of the Bible.


As a man who values reason and recognizes its power to reveal truths, it’s not hard to understand that Dr. Ross will find God in science and discover scientific truths in the Bible. An astronomer and biblical scholar by profession, he is on a quest to spread the word that the fundamental issues on creation actually complement the scientific theories and principles on the origin of the earth and mankind.

Dr. Hugh Ross not only unearthed credible amount of fundamental scientific truths behind the Biblical account of creation but also objectively pointed out the “fingerprints of God” unrecognized in modern cosmological theories.


Although Dr. Ross’ scientific evangelism will understandably be frowned upon both by the fundamentalist Christians and hardcore advocates of Darwinian theory of evolution, it can’t be refuted for its novelty.


Dr. Ross’ theories may not be conventional, but these are uncongenial either. At the least, Ross must be credited for providing us new reasons to break the divisive elements that often tear apart our faith and unfairly criticize our needed dependence on scientific reason.
