Nope. It has nothing to do with Christianity. Far from it, the author attempts to approach the birth of the world we know (and the universe) in his own "scientific, evidence-based" explanation. The deep thoughts embedded in the recesses of his mind (obviously from hours of reading books authored by like-minded scholars) has certainly given him a convenient avenue in looking at the existence of man.
Big History is a subject initiated in the attempt to understand, in a unified way, the history of the Cosmos, Earth, Life and Humanity. This project was co-founded by Bill Gates and David Christian. There is no denial that the book is packed with science, studies and jargons. Certainly makes it very impressive for the novice!
Unfortunately, it is replete with "gaps" and sheer improbabilities. At the most, many of the explanations would only be worthy as hypothesis (if not wishful thinking). Arguably, there are numerous contradicting evidence that needs to be addressed as well. Nevertheless, it does make a good read.
In a nutshell, it's another attempt by man to "justify" his existence.
Nice try. though!
