This is the last citation from Hugh Ross’s Improbable Planet, I promise. In this excerpt, Ross discusses the impact (in both senses of the term) of the Chicxulub asteroid, which struck the Yucatán Peninsula and caused the Cretaceous-Paleogene Extinction.

Let’s end the year with some cool science, OK? Would you be surprised if I told you that the following citation comes from the book Improbable Planet (2016) by Hugh Ross? (I didn’t think so.) In Chapter 12 Ross talks about the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system for the amazing edifice we call “Earth”. […]
As I mentioned in my recent “Why a Spiral Galaxy?” post, I have been slowly working my way through Improbable Planet (2016), in which Dr. Hugh Ross reviews the increasing evidence of fine-tuning in situating and preparing planet Earth for humanity. Using the analogy of building a large and complex edifice, Ross’s eighth chapter is […]
It is not uncommon for bloggers and other article-writers to put out a Top 5 (or other number) list for something. I have done a few myself. A “Top X Books …” is a favorite — both to read and to write — for those of us who like to read books. A few years […]

“I want to believe.” — FBI Agent Fox Mulder, “The X-Files” In Part 1, we began to delve into the phenomenon of “residual UFOs” (aka RUFOs). We noted several questions/issues that need to be addressed by proponents of both the extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH) and the extradimensional or interdimensional hypothesis (IDH). This time, I want to […]
“You misunderstand me. I can only demonstrate that UFOs defy the laws of physics. That is not to say they cannot be real.” — Dr. Hugh Ross, in response to a challenge from a member of an audience of Russian scientists As mentioned at the end of “When Is a UFO Not a UFO?, Part […]
You might read that title and think I’m a little weird. But, by the end of this post, you’ll be thankful for the lil fellas, too. (Though you may still think I’m weird.) A few years ago, I was having some digestive issues. (Nothing major.) I don’t remember the details — probably just as well […]
“It is awe inspiring to us that God created his natural world in a way that allows us to explore the unobserved past with such remarkable clarity.” — Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth This week’s post includes another excerpt from Dr. Hugh Ross’s book A Matter of Days, 2nd ed. (2015), along with a related […]
