The Case for a Creator (originally a published book) consists of interviews with intelligent design advocates and Christian apologists who argue for the existence of a creator.

Various topics are examined in an unscientific manner: the Theory of Evolution; Abiogenesis; Big Bang; "Rare Earth hypothesis"; Biology Complexity and Human Consciousness. ExtantDodo provide the missing scientific perspective.

Lee Patrick Strobel is a writer and Christian apologist and a former journalist and megachurch pastor. He is the author of several books, including an Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA) Christian Book of the Year and a series that addresses challenges to a Biblically inerrant view of Christianity.

Strobel earned a journalism degree from the University of Missouri and a Master of Studies in Law degree from Yale Law School. He was a journalist for fourteen years, at The Chicago Tribune and other newspapers.

Strobel was a teaching pastor of Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, Illinois, from 1987 to 2000, and of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California from 2000 to 2002, before shifting his focus to his writing and producing his TV show.

The Case for a Creator

The Case for a Creator (originally a published book) by Lee Strobel consists of interviews with intelligent design advocates and Christian apologists who argue for the existence of a creator. The advocates interviewed in the chapters and their topic(s) of discussion are as follows:

Intelligent design advocate, Discovery Institute Center for Science and Culture (CSC) fellow and Unification church theologian Jonathan Wells presents a case against evolution.

Intelligent design advocate, CSC fellow and philosopher of science Stephen C. Meyer discusses the relationship between science and religion, as well as the origin of life, arguing against the likelihood of abiogenesis without the assistance of a creator.

CSC fellow and philosopher of religion William Lane Craig discusses the Big Bang and argues for a creator as first cause, invoking the Kalam cosmological argument.

International Society for Complexity, Information and Design fellow and philosopher Robin Collins discusses the anthropic principle and argues that the universe must be designed by a creator.

Intelligent design advocates and CSC fellows Guillermo Gonzalez (an astronomer) and Jay Richards (a theologian) present a case that the Rare Earth hypothesis supports intelligent design.

Intelligent design advocate, CSC fellow and biochemist Michael Behe discusses irreducible complexity in biology as an argument for a creator.

CSC fellow, philosopher and theologian J.P. Moreland examines the supposed existence of consciousness separate from the brain, including near-death experiences, as an argument for a creator.

Critics of this book accuse it of bias, which they assert is contrary to the book's own claims of being neutral and scientifically rigorous.

Paul Doland commented that Strobel portrays himself as a skeptic who would ensure a balanced perspective on the issue, but no scientists who oppose intelligent design were interviewed in the book.

The video claims to investigate scientific evidence for a creator, but most of the interviewees have their doctorates in philosophy or theology, rather than science.

The book was the recipient of a 2005 ECPA Christian Book Award in missions and evangelism.
