 a case for a creator Nov 17, 2009
First, of all Strobel attempts to refute Darwin, without properly defining evolution .
"In a world of stable populations where each individual must struggle to survive, those with the "best" characteristics will be more likely to survive, and those desirable traits will be passed to their offspring. These advantageous characteristics are inherited by following generations, becoming dominant among the population through time. This is natural selection. It may be further inferred that natural selection, if carried far enough, makes changes in a population, eventually leading to new species. These observations have been amply demonstrated in biology, and even fossils demonstrate the veracity of these observations"
The theory of Evolution cannot not be used to explain phenomena such as the big-bang ( the origin of the universe) or abiogenesis (the origin of life). And while it is true there maybe some point of contention in the scientific community regarding how both the universe started and how life began, it should be understood that there is virtually no dispute among the scientific community regarding theory of evolution. Around 99% of scientists with advanced degrees believes in evolution.
Strobel can sidestep the overwhelming body of evidence that suggests evolution is a fact all he wants, but he pays a price. His argument is a straw man; plain and simple.
if Strobel wants to make "A Case" he needs to use some real facts
*Embryology is very powerful evidence for evolution
*The Fossil record is very powerful evidence for evolution
*DNA evidence is very powerful for evolution ( For instance, the DNA evidence that we humans evolved from a primate is overwhelming. Look at the scientific reports that clearly show Human Chromosome 2 is a fusion of two ancestral chromosomes)
And it's the synergy of various disciplines is what makes the theory of evolution so strong. With strobel mainly using his high school biology class as reference--it follows this book does not attempt to generate any real intellectual arguments against the theory of evolution
Funny, how strobel offers no "Case for a creator" to explain the best evidence for evolution. So Strobel has no case.
Strobel is a misguided individual, who should understand that evolution does not, by any means, prove or disprove a God. He is by every account an intellectual light weight, a lair ---or most likely he is both a lair and an idoit. As a scientist hungry for facts; Strobel comes across as a clown and a fool.
 Case for a Creator: two thumbs up. Oct 30, 2009
The Case for a Creator was a great resource to show to our Teen Department. I have seen several Creation DVD presentations, but this one is unique. There is a very logical order to the facts that are presented. That statement is not true with most other Creation DVD's that I have seen. Not only was the order of the presentation logical and helpful, I truly learned new things. This is not a "cookie cutter" Creation DVD that has all the same scientific facts, arguments, and Bible verses you have heard in all the other DVD's. There is a lot of info contained in the DVD and you might need to watch it a few times before you feel like you really "got it".

People today are Atheists because.... Sep 15, 2009
The keys to understanding the Bible are in the first 3 chapters of Genesis.If you don't understand these chapters,you'll never be able to accurately understand the Bible. People today are atheists because they have not understood the Bible or even attempted to read it.
Man was to be God over this earth Genesis 1:26-28..But the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden brought Spiritual and physical death. The moment they ate of the fruit they died of spiritual death separated from God our creator. We were all born to have a relationship with God for all eternity,we were never meant to die. So after fall all future generations would be born into that same sin also separated from God. God couldn't just start over because he had given man dominion over this earth and God is a God of his word he can't take it back or otherwise he wouldn't be a God we could trust. God immediately kicked Adam and Eve out of the Garden otherwise they would had eaten off the Tree of Life and we would of had to live in the state were in without ever dying of physical death and forever separated from God. Satan was trying to get to that tree of life.
See man's body gives him authority on earth. Satan tapped into man's authority by using the body of a serpent. He tempted Eve through the serpent and caused Adam to commit high treason. The only way Satan could get to the tree of life was to get Adam to sin and become subordinate to him, for Adam was the God of this world. After Adam became subordinate to Satan, Satan became his lord. Whatever Adam could tap into naturally, satan could have. Satan was trying to get Adam to tap into the tree of life. But God was smarter than that.! He put Adam out of the Garden to stop that from coming to pass!
God began devising his plan for man's redemption God had to find a way to get back on earth legally unlike Satan who got here illegally.
God started forming covenants with Noah first than Abraham. To make a long story short.... God sent his son to mend that relationship if we only believe in Jesus.
We are spirit beings having a physical experience. But a lot people don't believe it because they died of Spiritual death separated from God. When Jesus came he promised if we believed in him and asked for forgiveness we would have eternal life again and he would send the Holy Spirit to live in our heart and show us how to live the way we were meant to live. That was the main purpose of God sending his son was to buy us back from spiritual death. You can't truly know the depth of this without meditating in Gods word and get and few good Christian Books.... I highly recommend...{YOUR SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY by Charles Capps}....It will answer all those questions for unbelievers also believers it's changed my life I am blessed...I also feel this was a good documentary ...I would recommend it... But to know the thing of God and Creation to have to read Gods instruction manual the "BIBLE"..everything created has instruction. Do you really think God wanted us to figure this world out on our own. If would would had never fell in the Garden of Eden we wouldn't need a Bible to show us how to live...May God give you the discernment you need to find him he has so much to excite us with his knowledge....God Bless

Reason is a Powerful thing Aug 31, 2009
This DVD/book is well researched and well presented. The case for God is powerful and for those who have an open mind - rewarding. For those who find the idea of God as silly or old fashioned, then the DVD/book will at least give you some reason to ponder. The facts presented are relevant and well documented. So one comes down to a simple questoin - "Do I ignore the facts of the existence of God or do I continue to just be ignorant?" The facts are there - all it takes is an open mind willing to think beyond your prejudices.
