Revision as of 23:15, April 26, 2018
Dr. Hugh Ross is an astronomer who is President and founder of the ministry Reasons to Believe.[1] He is an Old Earth Creationist.
World-renowned Christian apologist Dr. William Lane Craig describes Dr. Ross in the following way: "Hugh Ross is evangelicalism’s most important scientific apologist." Dr. Craig goes on to state "[Ross] has vigorously defended scientifically the cosmological and teleological arguments for a Creator and Designer of the universe and has championed progressive creationism over against naturalistic accounts of biological evolution on the one hand and so-called “young earth” creationism on the other."[2]
Ross is the author of many books, including Why the Universe is the Way it is, Creation as Science and The Creator and the Cosmos.
Ross does not believe in the global flood of Noah's day, as in 2 Peter 3:6, "Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:". Ross believes that the word world in this context was used to indicate the area of the world that at that time was inhabited by humans. There are some Young Earth creationists who believe that this position is unscriptural and does not agree with geology.[3]. However, Ross gives both biblical and scientific evidence for his view.
Hugh Ross's ministry provides a model for understanding the Bible and Scientific discoveries that is well-reasoned from both a scientific and theological perspective. His ministry includes many highly accomplished scientists from different fields that answer questions and comment on the latest scientific discoveries. There are those who criticize old Earth creations, such as Hugh Ross, in an effort that unnecessarily seeks to divide Christians based on how old they believe the universe is, even though it is not a core Christian doctrine (except to agree that the Universe did indeed have a beginning and was created by God).
