Description

Humans have always been intrigued by the celestial objects beyond our world and wondered: What are they? Where did they come from? And what do they say about where we come from?

The Universe: A Journey Through God’s Grand Design takes viewers on a journey through time and space, exploring how some of the greatest discoveries in astronomy were made by scientists of faith seeking to understand the exquisite order of God’s universe.

Host Markus Lloyd (Unlocking the Mysteries of Genesis, Made in His Image, and Uncovering the Truth about Dinosaurs) travels to world-class observatories and other locations, guiding viewers through the history of astronomy. From early theories of the solar system to Newton’s laws to the space race, every century yields profound discoveries and new mysteries to explore.

Each episode takes us deeper into space and closer to today, when interplanetary probes reveal astonishing evidence that confirms and leaves us in awe of God’s grace and power.

Episode 1: Ancient Astronomy

Ancients used the motions of the stars to guide them, but how and why the heavens work as they do remained a mystery. Experts reveal how early astronomers like Kepler and Galileo were driven to explore the heavens by a desire to understand the order in God’s universe.

Episode 2: A Golden Age

The Age of Enlightenment ushered in a period of great advances in scientific understanding, led by men of faith like Sir Isaac Newton. This episode explores remarkable discoveries that enabled us to understand distant stars and galaxies—and our place in the universe.

Episode 3: Into the Stars

The work of 19th-century astronomers gave us a better understanding of distant stars, but 20th-century secular thinking led to some faulty and fanciful theories. The arrival of spaceflight ushered in a new era of scientific advancement that would shed light on the age of the universe and accuracy of the Bible.

Episode 4: Pushing Forward

The space race and manned missions gave us a new way to investigate the solar system beyond our own planet. Modern Christian scientists describe how astonishing discoveries from today’s space explorations confirm the Bible and strengthen their faith.
