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.<ref>https://answersingenesis.org/the-flood/global/was-the-flood-of-noah-global-or-local-in-extent/</ref>.

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).

 +
Ross, like other Christian who have compromised by adopting unbiblical philosophies, is ignorant about the global flood, believes uniformitarianism, and considers the [[Starlight Problem]] a problem for the Young Earth model.

Latest revision as of 15:10, April 9, 2019

Dr. Hugh Ross is an astronomer who is President and founder of the ministry Reasons to Believe.[1] He is an Old Earth Creationist and has authored many books, including Why the Universe is the Way it is, Creation as Science, and The Creator and the Cosmos.

Christian apologist Dr. William Lane Craig, who agrees with Ross, describes him as "evangelicalism’s most important scientific apologist."[2] On the other hand, young Earth creationists, including Creation Scientists at Answers in Genesis, have strongly criticized his views.[3]

Ross does not believe that the Flood of Noah covered the whole Earth, as shown in Bible passages such as Genesis 7:17–23 and 2 Peter 3:6, instead believing it to be a local flood that was "universal" only in the sense of it killing "the entire human race and all of the nephesh (soulish) animals associated with humans."[4] Young Earth creationists have criticized this view for being unscriptural and not agreeing with geology.[5][6]

Ross, like other Christian who have compromised by adopting unbiblical philosophies, is ignorant about the global flood, believes uniformitarianism, and considers the Starlight Problem a problem for the Young Earth model.
