Hugh Ross has a PHD from Caltech in Astrophysics from Caltech. He is and Old Earth Creationist and attempts to fit science and the Scriptures together.
He claims that if you look at the meaning of the different passages in the Bible it perfectly fits with science. By doing this he is allowed to lecture in public schools and he hundreds of students to the Lord.
He also claims that many scientists are now becoming Christians and over half the scientists that work in Astronomy and Astrophysics are already now Christians.
He claims that with new space telescopes they have literally been able to see back to the Creation event (the big bang) in which the entire universe was created from a "singularity" 14.7 million years ago.
Even non-believer Steven Hawkings said that there was an infinitely powerful causal event to the "big bang".
Before anybody jumps the gun, he does NOT believe in evolution and in his debates provides scientific evidence why it is not true. This allows for the relatively short time frame of actual history of mankind and the Bible. Plus, it allows for the dinosaurs and why there are never human fossils even near their fossils.
I am looking for the opinions of those who have seen at least one of his debates on the John Ackerberg show and or his lectures on Young Earth creation.
I am looking for opinions of Hugh Ross and his theory (Please do not bring the specifics of his debates into this forum. This thread is NOT intended to start a debate over creation.)
If you have not seen Hugh Ross debate I encourage you to do so and come back and post about it.
Specifically I would like to know:
Who did he debate with?
Who do you think won the debate by providing the best information?
Did he convince you that all or part of his theories were correct?
Your beliefs before and after, if you wish to share. I think many of you may find a lot of answers to questions.
Be aware Hugh Ross believes in what, he calls, a worldwide flood (all of the population at that time but confined to the North African/Middle East area) vs. a global flood.
These two beliefs are not mutually exclusive.
Explain what you agree with and disagree with.
Again, NO debating the details. Either you buy it or you don't. :thumbsup:
