God’s Cosmic Cookbook – A great present for Christmas
If you followed my blog last month, you’ll know why I think it’s important for Christians who embrace modern science – which is most of us – to make sure any children we know realise they don’t have to choose between the two.
We need to help kids understand that the complexity and beauty of nature revealed in modern science doesn’t undermine God in any way. God did it!!
Science actually gives us a fresh and awe-inspiring perspective on our all-powerful Creator which perfectly complements the wonderful understanding of God’s love and our relationship with Him that is the heart of our faith.
If this is important to you too, God’s Cosmic Cookbook could be exactly the Christmas present you are looking for. With its state-of-the-art science, laugh-out loud humour and accessible language, it is a great book to read with children or for them to read on their own.
The beauty of God’s Cosmic Cookbook is that it doesn’t tackle or criticise the alternatives head-on… You’ll find no arguments against the atheistic mantra that science answers every question and leaves no room for God, nor against the ‘Young Earth Creation’ dogma that every word of scripture must be read like facts in a scientific text book. Both these have been debated many times and tend to end in fruitless confrontation and hardening of views.
God’s Cosmic Cookbook simply avoids direct confrontation by presenting some of the key facts and stages of universe making, in all its amazing detail, as if it was a recipe narrated by God the chef. No arguments, no challenges – just using the incredible findings of modern science to show how impossibly difficult it really is to make a universe that ‘works’ even for a tiny fraction of a second.
This is the most amazing thing… The truth is that modern science proves again and again just how much of a miracle this creation is and how much trouble God went to over it – Who knew !!
