Designed to the Core

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has described the cosmos as hostile, claiming that the universe is always looking for ways to destroy us. He is far from the only one with such a grim outlook. Many thinkers have warned about the cosmic dangers that could bring about humanity's end. Designed to the Core takes a different approach. Astrophysicist Hugh Ross draws on the latest astronomical research to inform readers and to encourage them toward a hopeful conclusion: a sharp blade can be a weapon in one person's hands and a lifesaving surgical instrument in another's. What matters most is the intention of the person holding it.

Ross is an astrophysicist and the founder of Reasons to Believe, a ministry that presents scientific findings alongside Christian faith. In this book he argues from astronomy that the universe shows evidence of deliberate design, and he asks readers to consider what that design says about the purpose behind the cosmos and the people within it.
