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...

Like all books on the subject, Our Universe is full of images of exploding stars and colliding galaxies. There are powers and distances beyond human comprehension. Darkness surrounds us as we discover most of this place we live in is not available to our eyes and senses. It's all very nice, but you want more than just another "science on parade" book. There is a much more profound story hidden in the beautiful images spread over the scientific world....

"Since the introduction of printing in 15th century Europe, Western science has become increasingly mechanized, both in its conception and its application to the world. But sadly, that mechanical development has come to be increasingly one-sided. Our modern sciences are thus now excessively mechanical. They overemphasize the use of external instruments and machines, in the pursuit of narrowly material objects. And they tend to neglect the education...

An alternate Theory of Everything paradigm is developed to replace the Big Bang and Darwinian paradigms using the Christian Bible and current scientific knowledge of space/time, matter and forces. This theory eliminates the need for the theories of dark matter, dark energy, dark flow, rapid expansion, and even black holes by using the actual description of creation of matter and life in space/time during six of God's Days, each Day being 0.24 billion...
