Publisher's Summary

The latest scientific discoveries point to an intentional creator.

Most of us remember the basics from science classes about how Earth came to be the only known planet that sustains complex life. But what most people don't know is that the more thoroughly researchers investigate the history of our planet, the more astonishing the story of our existence becomes. The number and complexity of the astronomical, geological, chemical, and biological features recognized as essential to human existence have expanded explosively within the past decade. An understanding of what is required to make possible a large human population and advanced civilizations has raised profound questions about life, our purpose, and our destiny. Are we really just the result of innumerable coincidences? Or is there a more reasonable explanation?

This fascinating book helps nonscientists understand the countless miracles that undergird the exquisitely fine-tuned planet we call home - as if someone had us in mind all along.

Our Planet is unique, what makes it different?

Finally an in depth explanation of the specifics of Earth's unique properties and why God created it this way. I've never even considered that earth may have been created specifically for Humans to inhabit let alone why the universe was created for earth's existence.
I believe that God is capable of creating the Earth and Universe in 6 (24 hr) days and God may also take his time and care to set the foundations and create the universe and Earth. God is not limited to how we humans quantify the passage of time and he can choose to have it explained to us in any manor he so chooses.

Hugh Ross lays out just how unique Earth is and how it had to go through many complicated steps, none of which would be possible without being orchestrated by a divine Creator for a specific reason and inhabitant.
If all this was done for our temporary place of residence, How much more wonderful will our permanent Home going to be.

Eye-opening!

This book is a fascinating and in-depth, science-based exploration of the multitude of formation processes that have been discovered for our planet. Until you have them all laid out for you, you don't realize how many specific and unique galactic and planetary factors are required to produce the outcome of a planet such as ours. Earth is an engineering feat on a universal scale!
