In the Beginning: A Catholic Scientist Explains How God Made Earth Our Home By: Gerard Verschuuren

Most modern scientists dismiss the notion that Earth is not merely the place where we are, but that it is truly our home and is meant to be our home. Written for non-specialists, In The Beginning uses clear, well-documented explanations and modern findings of cosmology, physics, chemistry, geology, and other sciences to tell a remarkably different story. Instead of the vaunted randomness of our immense universe, scientists have recently discovered indisputable patterns in the structures of matter and energy. Over the eons, these distinctive patterns drove the universe inexorably toward formation of the Earth as what we experience it to be: our secure, exceptional, and singularly welcoming home.
