Dr. John Hartnett
Can modern physics help us better understand the biblical account of creation?
In The Physics of Creation: The Creator’s Ultimate Design for Earth, renowned physicist and cosmologist Dr. John Hartnett takes readers on a fascinating journey through the physical universe from a biblical perspective. Drawing on more than fifty years of studying physics, mathematics, and Scripture, Hartnett argues that the laws governing the universe are not accidents of nature but evidence of an intelligent Creator.
Beginning with the six days of creation described in Genesis, Hartnett examines the physics behind Earth’s formation, the heavens, life, thermodynamics, energy, Earth’s magnetic field, climate, geology, and the global Flood. He explores how the physical laws of the universe reveal remarkable design and purpose, while also addressing the effects of the Curse, the reality of decay, and God’s sustaining power over creation.
