Review Comments

In his typical style, Lee Stroble presents persuasive arguments in favor of an intelligent designer as the responsible agent behind the material universe by way of a compilation of several well articulated interviews. The volume does touch on presuppositional considerations while effectively utilizing empirical evidences availed in modern science. The strength of the book is found in Stroble’s lawyer style examination of evidence and the credentials of the interviewees. Several arguments and strong counter-rebuttals to previously stated arguments are quite helpful. The text is generally accessible and understandable to the non-technical reader, though it is not devoid of technical arguments. The volume is clearly an argument for intelligent design (ID) and not biblical creation according to Genesis. Scripture is not presented as the authority or first object of presupposition, however, a summary of the Case for Christ is presented in the appendix. A helpful resource, especially regarding the most recent counter-rebuttals to ID, however, it is neither technical nor biblically based.

Publisher's Description

Lee Strobel investigates the latest scientific discoveries to see whether they form a solid basis for believing in God. During his academic years, Strobel became convinced that God was outmoded, a belief that colored his ensuing career as an award-winning journalist at the Chicago Tribune. Science had made the idea of a Creator irrelevant---or so Strobel thought. But today science is pointing in a different direction. In recent years, a diverse and impressive body of research has increasingly supported the conclusion that the universe was intelligently designed. At the same time, Darwinism has faltered in the face of concrete facts and hard reason. Has science discovered God? At the very least, it's giving faith an immense boost as new findings emerge about the incredible complexity of our universe. Join Strobel as he reexamines the theories that once led him away from God. Through his compelling and highly readable account, you'll encounter the mind-stretching discoveries from cosmology, cellular biology, DNA research, astronomy, physics, and human consciousness that present astonishing evidence in The Case for a Creator.
