“All the scientists were upstaged at least 2,500 years earlier by Job, Moses, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and other Bible authors. The Bible’s prophets and apostles stated explicitly and repeatedly the two most fundamental properties of the big bang, a transcendent cosmic beginning a finite time ago and a universe undergoing a general expansion.”
Hugh Ross, The Creator and the Cosmos: How the Greatest Scientific Discoveries of the Century Reveal God

Hugh Ross
“More than 140 different 'exterior' features of the universe, including the values of the constants that govern the laws of physics, must fit within narrowly specified ranges. This reality reasonably points to a Source with the capacity for intentionality, for deliberate, purposeful design and implementation—in other words, a Creator who transcends the well-crafted cosmos.”

“The 8% level is the minimum required for the existence of large-bodied animals that lack digestive tracts and internal organs (the Avalon animals, e.g. sponges and jellyfish). The 10% level is the minimum required for animals with complex internal organs (the Cambrian animals). One of the great marvels of life history is that the Avalon and Cambrian animals representing several Avalon phyla and 30+ Cambrian phyla appeared in what may be considered a geologic 'instant' after each of the oxygen levels was attained.”

“Like the Great Oxidation Event, the Great Unconformity injected an enormous quantity of oxygen into the atmosphere through a massive and efficient subduction of organic carbon into Earth's mantle. When this event occurred, the oxygen quantity in Earth's atmosphere jumped from 1% or less up to 8%. Just before the time of the Cambrian explosion 543 million years ago, another major continental erosion event coupled with oceanic sediment subduction led to a jump in the atmosphere oxygen level from 8 to 10%.”

“[The features of Earth's mantle], among others, appear so intricate and specific that Earth may well be the only rocky planet on which plate tectonic activity, at a survivable level for life, has been operating for an extended period, much less approaching 4 billion years.”
