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.

[clawedification]

2010 scientist make synthetic life,what does this mean?HAHAHA evolution heads this only shows and proves that it takes intelligence to make life.Whoever made this is obviously misinformed about the subject.We dont OBSERVE spontaneous generation because it doesn't happen.Are you willingly ignorant to these facts?Is there any proof behind these objections?Do you know how to make a frog from primordial soup?Can you show me someone who has?Why did the soup turn to water?Well i guess your flattened.

@fifikip090 stating science makes no comment on the supernatural.

[fifikip090]

The entire time, the video just proclaims "error here" and "error there." These errors are not explained in any way, only pointed out. And he says Intelligent Design is based on logical fallacies, dishonesty, and a lack of biological knowledge. Obviously, had he been knowledgeable enough to explain why their statements are so erroneous, he would have included his reasoning in the video, instead of mocking the theory of Intelligent Design by comparing it to a cartoon

SupportExtantDodo,

Being condescending by using all those inserted ironical remarks, does not make you right neither does it show your "objectivity" on the matter. ALL the remarks you've made can be addressed to many aspects of science, yet you do not have a mocking attitude towards the "other parallel universes" theory, which by the way is only a theory with no supporting data , to name but one. What your attitude shows, is you are not in search of the truth, but of a reputation. So pitiful...

@Bam12594 The Urey - Miller experiment has been improved upon. Haeckels embryos are debunked, by scientists not creationists. Its a lie that scientists believe in Haeckels embryos.

Haeckels embryos are not taught except as an example of fraud, as fraudulent as your religion by the way. Why do you want to teach people your fraud?

[Bam12594]

@MrCameron34 Read up on the Cambrian Explosion. It will explain how they dont co-exist, its either creationism or darwanism.

[Bam12594]

Im still not even close to done with proving the faultiness of Biological Evolution/ Darwanism. I believe the majority of scientists out there are smart people believing false lies told to them by text books that have never been publically announced as lies or false data. Still today, textbooks use the Miller Experiment, Haeckels Embryos, and other fake theories in educating children. Both of these drawings/experiments have been proven to be doctored or just wrong. Why are they taught,
