Are you up for a trip through the ultimate neighborhood? Join astrophysicist Hugh Ross for an insider’s look at our cosmic neighborhood, where you’ll see everything from the largest-scale structure of the universe to Earth’s innermost layers.

In Designed to the Core, Ross explains how the most sophisticated scientific instruments reveal exquisite “interior designs” throughout the universe that are ideally suited for human habitation here on Earth right now. This scientific excursion takes us to the interior structures of super-superclusters of galaxies, clusters of galaxies, local galaxies, our Milky Way Galaxy, the Sun, our planetary system, the Moon, and Earth’s interior—all of which reveal fine-tuning that manifests a Designer’s planning and preparation.

About the book

Praise for the book


“Designed to the Core is the first book I’ve ever read that explains how the Milky Way Galaxy itself is special and unique! Hugh Ross has a remarkable ability to gather and synthesize enormous amounts of technical data and then present it in a way that a scientific layperson (like me) can understand.” But what about the unexplored areas of chemistry and biochemistry? Do we witness an equal amount of evidence for fine-tuning?
