The Case for a Creator by Lee Strobel
I really enjoyed the Strobel’s previous books on Christ and
faith, so when I saw the Case for a Creator, I quickly snatched it up. However
I was a little disappointed this time around.
When trying to do apologetics through science, things get
sketchy really quickly. To say it simply, God is really outside of science. We
can definitely use science to show us the wonder of creation and the
awesomeness of our Creator. However, science itself cannot really show us
anything about God or prove anything. Anything science labels as a mystery
should not be marked as divine. Anything science labels as mystery should be
furthered researched and marked as knowledge not yet known.
I am a strong believer in God and firm believe in science
and education. We should never fear science. Sure, our limited human minds will
deceive us. Centuries ago we thought the earth was flat; what will we laugh at
centuries from now? The more we study the universe the more we will learn about God.
The book is decent but like Case for Christ, if you think
one argument does not hold ground then each following argument is worthless.
