The Case for a Creator: A Journalist Investigates Scientific Evidence that Points Toward God

More on The Case for a Creator:

In The Case for a Creator—Student Edition, bestselling author and former atheist Lee Strobel and popular writer Jane Vogel take younger readers on a remarkable investigation into the origin of the universe, interviewing many of the world’s most renown scientists and following the evidence wherever it leads. Their findings—presented in the third blockbuster "Case" book student edition—offer the most compelling scientific proof ever for intelligent design. Perfect for youth groups and young people eager to rebut the Darwinian and naturalistic views taught so commonly in schools.

Description of The Case for a Creator:

How did the universe really begin? The verdict is in. Lee Strobel investigates the latest scientific discoveries from physics to biology and discovers they point convincingly toward a creator God--for teens and older.

Information on The Case for a Creator from the publisher:

In this newest student edition, based on Lee Strobel's The Case for a Creator, the award-winning team of Jane Vogel and Lee Strobel join forces again to re-interpret Lee's adult material for a teenage audience. Like many people, Lee Strobel had elevated white-coated scientists over black-robed preachers. Science dealt with the empirical, the testable, the real, while faith was left to consider softer matters of the heart. In other words, science dealt with reality, and it demonstrated to Strobel that God did not exist. Strobel traces his atheism to his freshman year in high school (which gives him a good beginning point for this student edition), when he learned that Darwinism explains the origin and development of life. This gave him a scientific basis for rejecting the idea of God and living a life free from his accountability. Finding his way back to God would require Strobel to investigate whether his own premise was wrong. Could it be true that science--especially the astronomical, cosmological, biological, and biochemical discoveries of the last fifty years--actually provide evidence for God, rather than evidence against him? This book retraces and expands upon that investigation by pursuing the latest scientific findings to see whether they point toward or away from the Christian God. In this book, Strobel again assumes the role of skeptic and investigates the latest scientific discoveries to see whether they form a solid basis for believing in God. Strobel and Vogel bring alive the latest scientific evidence for God, colorfully describing material that otherwise has been inaccessible to mainstream readers due to its complexity. This book bolsters the faith of Christians bydemonstrating how science undergirds their beliefs, and it knocks down the barriers that keep many seekers from meeting God.

About Lee Strobel:

Lee Strobel, educated at Yale Law School, was the award-winning legal editor of the Chicago Tribune and a spiritual skeptic until 1981. He wrote the Gold Medallion-winning books The Case for Christ and The Case for Faith. A former teaching pastor at two of America’s largest churches, he and his wife live in California.

Description of Lee Strobel, author of The Case for a Creator:

When Lee Strobel was a high school freshman, science convinced him that God didn't exist. Since then, however, incredible scientific discoveries have not only helped restore Lee's faith, but have strengthened it. Lee is not alone. More and more scientists, confronted with startling, cutting-edge evidence from many areas of research, no longer believe the universe just happened or that life arose by mere chance. Behind a universe of staggering complexity, they are seeing signs of a Master Designer. Are your science textbooks still telling you the same "facts" that Lee's did nearly forty years ago? Get Current! And prepare to be astonished by what some of today's most respected experts have to say about:The birth of the universeDarwinism and the origin of lifeThe astounding fine-tuning of the cosmosAmazing molecular machines and DNA researchWeigh the evidence for yourself. Then consider this question "could it be that the universe looks designed because it is designed?
