Reseña del libro "The Universe And Life: Beginnings, Endings, And The Last Beginning (en Inglés)"
Laying out what astronomy, physics, genetics, paleontology, and other human sciences have to tell us about the universe and life on earth, THE UNIVERSE AND LIFE makes it clear that while the information science offers is fascinating and often helpful, the Bible is not, and does not claim to be, a science textbook; it stands or falls by what it reveals about the purpose of human life, and our ethical responsibilities. Science can inform us about what is, but cannot tell us why it is, or explain the meaning of our lives, or guide us morally. In fact, the more we learn from science, which has put into human hands the power to destroy the planet, the more urgent such questions become. THE UNIVERSE AND LIFE divides God's creative work into three distinct beginnings: the original creation of Genesis 1, encompassing dinosaurs and varieties of hominids, which ended in a fiery conflagration that destroyed all life except what was in the seas; a second beginning, reflected in Genesis 2, which saw the reanimation of earth and the creation of humanity as we know it (Adam and Eve), and which will end in terrifying violence; and a third beginning yet to come - the creation of a new heaven and a new earth, which shall have no end. As our world approaches the end of God's second creation, this book calls upon us to be prepared by accepting the reign of Jesus Christ over our lives, that we might participate in the new creation, with its future kingdoms prepared for those able to claim the inheritance.
