Hidden Treasures in the Book of Job
Arguably the oldest book in the Bible, the book of Job has a surprising amount to say about some of the newest scientific discoveries and controversies. Far from a book that is just about suffering, Job is filled with rich insight into both ancient and modern questions about
• the formation of the world
• the difference between animals and humans
• cosmology
• dinosaurs and the fossil record
• how to care for creation
• and more
With careful consideration and exegesis, internationally known astrophysicist and Christian apologist Hugh Ross adds yet another compelling argument to the case for the veracity of the biblical commentary on the history of the universe, Earth, life, and humanity.
Hidden Treasures in the Book of Job shows that the Bible is an accurate predictor of scientific discoveries and a trustworthy source of scientific information, and that both the book of Scripture and the book of nature are consistent both internally and externally.

A Matter of Days
The length of time represented by the word "day" sparks a storm of controversy. Lightning strikes and thunder roars with questions at the core of the debate:

- Is God's plan a restored paradise or a whole new creation?
- Was there any kind of death before the Fall?
- Does the Bible speak of a "big bang?"
In A Matter of Days, respected astronomer and author Hugh Ross, Ph.D., addresses these questions and explores how the creation-day controversy developed. History, theology, science and Scripture reveal creation's big picture.

Science & Faith: Friends or Foes?
Many believers worry that an old-earth creation approach undermines the Christian faith. Instead of fearing scientific discovery, Old Testament theologian, John Collins, believes that Christians should delight in the natural world and study it. Collins discusses a wide variety of issues related to the creation debate, including the age of the earth, evolution and miracles. This book is a must-read for any Christian looking for a biblical discussion about Christianity's interface with science without technical jargon.

Who Was Adam
Was Adam an accident of nature, or a creature designed with significance and purpose? Did humans descend from an ape-like ancestor through lucky happenstance, or were the first man and woman deliberately created, made in God's image?
Evolutionary theory dominates academic thought and public discourse as the only valid explanation for humanity's origin.
Many observations appear to validate Darwin's ideas. But do they? Long before Darwin, a man named David voiced a different view. And, both men can't be right.
Recent discoveries, some with biblical overtones, are causing many scientists to abandon traditional evolutionary accounts in favor of a radically different explanation. In Who Was Adam? biochemist Fazale Rana and astronomer Hugh Ross discuss many of these advances and propose a new scientific model for human origins, a creation model. Can human evolution be declared a fact? Or does creation make more scientific sense? RTB's biblically consistent model can be tested to answer the questions, with astounding results.

Unlocking the Mystery of Life DVD
No one looking at a rotary motor says, "Wonderful little accident, here." What if scientists discovered a "rotary motor" inside a human cell? See some of the surprises that awaited researchers when high-tech instruments gave them a close-up view of the cell's intricate inner workings. This one-hour video documentary, using state-of-the-art computer animation, powerfully illustrates an alternative--the Intelligent Design alternative--to the traditional evolutionary origin-of-life hypothesis. Great for home school education and for high school classroom use.

(Note: Examining the Cosmos course participants should recognize that the material in this DVD is presented from an agnostic worldview that accepts the theory of evolution and other non-Theistic origin views. It has been included for its scientific content. It is our position that the scientific discoveries detailed in this presentation confirm the biblical accounts of the origin of man as presented in the Book of Genesis.)
Creation as Science
Development of the scientific creation-model concept represents one of Hugh Ross's most significant contributions to Christian apologetics. This new book explains why a testable model is essential, outlines the basic components of RTB's model, and includes predictions about the direction of future research. Ross brings a calm, confident voice to the acrimonious clash between intelligent design/creation and evolution advocates. He understands why naturalists cling to their evolutionary models despite serious weaknesses--models that ultimately thwart scientific progress and leave humanity without hope or purpose. Everyone can benefit from a new and better scientific model to explain the world around us, especially a model that attests the accuracy and authority of the Bible!

The Genesis Question
Hugh Ross presents an apologetics commentary on that portion of scripture that accounts for the vast majority of challenges to the credibility of Christianity. With careful integration of the scientific and theological data, Dr. Ross explains in the updated edition how the ongoing research into the origin and development of the universe, Earth, plant life, animal life, humans, and human civilization matches our best understanding of the Hebrew texts. The book describes in colorful detail the highlights of each creation day. It demonstrates the consistency of the Genesis 1 and 2 creation accounts. This 2nd edition of The Genesis Question, written with clarity and simplicity, is a valuable book to read and to share.

Why the Universe is the Way It Is
"Why?" may be the most common and emotionally charged question in human experience.
With the Bible in one hand and the latest scientific findings in the other, astronomer Hugh Ross tackles many of our most pressing cosmic "whys". Questions such as, If God made the universe, why:
- is it so vast?
- wait to bring humans onto the scene?
- allow decay and death to be part of it?
- let one man and one woman ruin it for everyone?
- should I believe my life has any real meaning?
- should I get excited about anything beyond what I see?
The search for answers to these questions takes us on a thrilling adventure of discovery. The same God who created the universe gave humans the intellect and curiosity to explore it. Ross leads the exploration by showing how cutting-edge research and key biblical principles agree. This faith-building page-turner is equally useful for personal and group study, deep reflection and serious debate. Why The Universe Is the Way It Is opens our minds - and our eyes- to a stunning new view of the Creator.

The Bible, Rocks, and Time
Is the Earth relatively young or very old?
We've all heard the controversy. The consensus regarding the age of the Earth, based on the best geological evidence, is that it is billions of years old. But many Christians believe that the Bible teaches the Earth is only a few thousand years old at best. What are we to make of this discrepancy? Geologists Davis Young and Ralph Stearley tackle this issue head-on.
Thoroughly examining historical, biblical, geological and philosophical perspectives, the amply illustrated Bible, Rocks and Time takes a comprehensive and authoritative look at the key issues related to the Earth's antiquity.

Beyond the Cosmos
The Extra-Dimensionality of God
Hugh Ross agrees that God is greater than we can imagine, but he points out that advances in science have given us tools to help us expand our view of the Creator and His awesome capacities. In this scientific and devotional book, Hugh Ross explains how phenomena that seem impossible in the four-dimensional world become comprehensible when examined in the context of extra-dimensional reality. He presents what science has learned about extra dimensions and relates these findings to difficult doctrines--the Incarnation, the Atonement, the Trinity, free and predestination, the new creation, hell, and other issues--that have perplexed believers and unbelievers for centuries.
