The Discovery of the Beginning (New edition) - Rob Yule

Summary:

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

Denied for centuries by people who thought the universe was eternal, this first verse of the Bible has been shown to be true by a remarkable series of modern scientific discoveries.

Since Einstein, theoretical research in physics and observational discoveries in astronomy have established beyond doubt that the universe did 'begin' at a point in time - or more correctly, that time also began when the universe came into existence.

"That science should produce such evidence for the biblical Creator is a surprising development," says the author, "a plot-twist more unexpected than an exciting detective thriller."

In this unique booklet, Rob Yule demonstrates how scientists have arrived at this conclusion. Einstein, Friedmann, Lemaître, Hubble, Hoyle, Hawking, Penrose and many others have contributed to this momentous development. It is "the greatest turning-point in intellectual life and the history of ideas for two and a half millennia."

In a story full of unexpected twists and turns, secular science ironically finds itself pointing to a supremely powerful and wise Creator.

This revised edition brings this popular booklet up to date with current discoveries.
