"Why?" may be the most common and emotionally charged question in human experience.

With the Bible in one hand and the latest scientific findings in the other, astronomer Hugh Ross tackles many of our most pressing cosmic "whys". Questions such as, If God made the universe, why:

• is it so vast?
• wait to bring humans onto the scene?
• allow decay and death to be part of it?
• let one man and one woman ruin it for everyone?
• should I believe my life has any real meaning?
• should I get excited about anything beyond what I can see?

The search for answers to these questions takes us on a thrilling adventure of discovery. The same God who created the universe gave humans the intellect and curiosity to explore it. Ross leads the exploration by showing how cutting-edge research and key biblical principles agree. This faith-building page-turner is equally useful for personal and group study, deep reflection and serious debate. Why The Universe Is the Way It Is opens our minds - and our eyes- to a stunning new view of the Creator.
