Hugh Ross

Hugh Ross (born July 24, 1945) is a Canadian-American astrophysicist, Old Earth creationist, author, and Christian apologist. Holding a Ph.D. in astronomy from the University of Toronto, he conducted post-doctoral research on quasars and galaxies at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). In 1986, Ross founded Reasons to Believe, an apologetics ministry that promotes day-age creationism—the view that the universe is billions of years old and fully consistent with both modern scientific consensus and the biblical creation narrative. He has written numerous books, including The Creator and the Cosmos and Why the Universe Is the Way It Is, and frequently participates in debates against atheists, young-Earth creationists, and evolutionary biologists.
