Abstract
This is the first book co-authored by Alex Williams and John Hartnett. Alex Williams has an M.S. degree in botany from Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia and worked for 24 years as a government botanist. He has three certificates in theology and also served as a missionary for seven years. Williams' writing skills have been demonstrated by many articles written for botany journals and Creation magazine. His interest in cosmology is personal. John Hartnett received B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the Department of Physics, University of Western Australia. He is well known for articles in the Technical Journal on the topics of astronomy and cosmology. The authors combine to make an overwhelming case for discounting the Big Bang model as a theory of the origin of the universe. They show there is no known cause for the Big Bang and the effects resulting from this hypothetical event cannot explain the universe we observe today.
