About this book
Can science measure the age of the universe? Can telescopes view the birth of the cosmos and bring man face to face with its creation? Or are these feats and prospects so many fashionable exaggerations or thinly veiled expressions of uneasiness? Where does science end, where does philosophy begin, and where does theology take over in a responsible discourse about the creation of the universe? Such are the main questions for which an answer is offered in this book.
