Epic discoveries in the twentieth century led physicists into a creation story suggesting that the four forces and twelve building blocks of nature actually flow from a body that was broken at the beginning of time.
In the Bible, Christ is revealed to be "the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world," "the beginning of the creation of God," in whom we now "live and move and have our being" and "by whom all things consist."
Throughout his childhood, Eugene L. Ulrich was overtaken by a curiosity about three things: the nature of light, the force of gravity, and the crucifixion of Christ. Facing strong cultural and religious headwinds, Eugene pressed deeply into the heart of these matters, not knowing they would lead him to a startling and most beautiful discovery.
In this book, Eugene:
Delves into his journey navigating the treacherous waters between two creation stories.
Tangles with the dogmas within biblicism and scientism.
Witnesses a most marvelous and beautiful reality emerge.
Within these pages, Eugene suggests the Universe we live in is actually the broken body of Christ. As Apostle Paul states, "And he is before all things, and by him all things consist" and most explicitly stated by Christ that the soil and stream he held in his hand during the Last Supper was indeed "my body which is broken for you!"
Eugene Ulrich is an amateur telescope maker, astronomer, and a passionate disciple of Christ. He writes about his lifelong addiction to exploring the meaning of life, especially the interface between Christ and the Cosmos. Raised by Mennonite missionary parents in Costa Rica and sporting only an 8th-grade formal education, Ulrich lives in a love/hate relationship with the orthodoxies within science and religion. He is happily married to his childhood sweetheart of 32 years and boasts 9 kids and 9 grandkids. Ulrich's passion is to expose a deep connection between what Christ says about himself and what scientists say about the Universe.
