Book Reviews of The Case for a Creator: A Journalist Investigates Scientific Evidence That Points Toward God

Book Review: More Creationist Propaganda
Summary: 1 Stars

Strobel starts off his book well enough, pretending to be a neutral observer only to descend into a laughably one-sided assessment of modern cosmology. Nearly every authority he cites is an evangelical christian.

There are no new arguments here that can't be debunked by a quick internet search.
Sadly though, this is probably the best that the intelligent design advocates have to offer.
If you are a curious person I would say read this just for some perspective and then read "The Selfish Gene" or "Darwin's Dangerous Idea" for a scientific account of the natural world. When you do that, get back to me and tell which is more convincing. (God won't get mad at you)

Summary of The Case for a Creator: A Journalist Investigates Scientific Evidence That Points Toward God

Lee Strobel investigates the latest scientific discoveries to see whether they form a solid basis for believing in God.

Are Christianity and science incompatible? If there is a God, is he only an impersonal starter force? An introductory high school biology class first propelled Lee Strobel toward a life of atheism. God and science, he reasoned, were mutually exclusive. When the former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune converted to Christianity, he decided to investigate the science he had once accepted as truth. Did science point toward or away from God? As Strobel interviews a variety of scientists on everything from debunking evolutionary icons to the implications of the Big Bang to the existence of the human soul, he builds his case: scientific evidence points toward Intelligent Design.

Although the discussion often veers into the academic, Strobel works hard to make it accessible to those without scientific training. Throughout the book, he salts interview transcript information with interesting personal stories of his own spiritual and scientific quest for knowledge, as well as sometimes over-detailed descriptions of the actual interviews (right down to the type of beverages consumed). Each chapter contains suggestions for further reading on particular issues of science and faith.

Strobel concludes that, when correctly interpreted, science and biblical teaching support each other. He quotes physicist Paul Davies, ".science offers a surer path to God than religion." Open-minded readers will find that this book, and its questions for reflection and group study, invites conversation and investigation.--Cindy Crosby
