Our Sunday school class recently began reading Lee Strobel's book, The Case for a Creator, and watching a DVD based upon the book. I just completed the book and it has been completely fascinating. Strobel is a gifted author and in this area, he appears to be very proficient; although, I must admit that I am somewhat ill prepared to attest to the veracity of all of his claims. All I can say is that from a layman's perspective, he makes some very compelling arguments.We all have our areas of interest and science has never been one of mine. Consequently, over the years, I have intentionally shied away from debates over creationism, evolution, intelligent design, etc, not because I thought they were unimportant but simply because I lacked the interest/motivation to develop enough understanding of the subject to enter the debate. I must admit, however, that Strobel has brought these issues to life for me and I am amazed at the body of evidence (as presented by Strobel, which is admittedly somewhat one-sided), from a scientific and rationale point of view, that support the scriptural idea of creation/design and the very existence of God.
