Hugh Ross is founder and senior scholar at Reasons to Believe (RTB), an organization dedicated to demonstrating the compatibility of science and the Christian faith.

With a degree in physics from the University of British Columbia and a PhD in astronomy from the University of Toronto, Hugh—initially a skeptic, always curious, and eventually a Christian —continued his research on quasars and galaxies as a postdoctoral fellow at the California Institute of Technology. After five years there, he transitioned to full-time ministry. In addition to founding and serving at RTB, he remains on the pastoral staff at Christ Church Sierra Madre. His

writings include peer-reviewed journal and magazine articles, blogs, and numerous books— Rescuing Inerrancy, Designed to the Core, and The Creator and the Cosmos, among others. He has spoken on hundreds of university campuses as well as at conferences and churches around the world.

Hugh lives in Southern California with his wife Kathy.
