Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Lee Strobel investigates the latest scientific discoveries to see whether they form a solid basis for believing in God.
Amazon.com Review:
Are Christianity and science incompatible? If there is a God, is he only an impersonal starter force? An introductory high school biology class first propelled Lee Strobel toward a life of atheism. God and science, he reasoned, were mutually exclusive. When the former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune converted to Christianity, he decided to investigate the science he had once accepted as truth. Did science point toward or away from God? As Strobel interviews a variety of scientists on everything from debunking evolutionary icons to the implications of the Big Bang to the existence of the human soul, he builds his case: scientific evidence points toward Intelligent Design.
Although the discussion often veers into the academic, Strobel works hard to make it accessible to those without scientific training. Throughout the book, he salts interview transcript information with interesting personal stories of his own spiritual and scientific quest for knowledge, as well as sometimes over-detailed descriptions of the actual interviews (right down to the type of beverages consumed). Each chapter contains suggestions for further reading on particular issues of science and faith.
Strobel concludes that, when correctly interpreted, science and biblical teaching support each other. He quotes physicist Paul Davies, "…science offers a surer path to God than religion." Open-minded readers will find that this book, and its questions for reflection and group study, invites conversation and investigation.--Cindy Crosby

I find it insulting that Lee Strobel, who is a lawyer by training, asserts that he can adequately report on scientific evidence of God. Sorry, but this level of analysis requires graduate degrees in physical and biological sciences to fully understand the scientific method and how to interpret scientific literature.
For a real book about science and the existence of God written by a Ph.D. scientist, see Victor Stenger's "Has Science Found God?"

The Case for a Creator: A Journalist Investigates Scientific Evidence That Points Toward God is another book by Lee Strobel, who attacks the issues by interviewing scientists, scholars, and researchers to build his case that God exists. He originally, as a young adolescent, was convinced by science that God does not exist but today has made a complete 180 and believes that science can actually point one toward the Creator.

Excellent arguments, quoting many experts in the field. Focuses on the philosophical rather than scientific arguments. College level.

I have been using this book as resource for a Bible study and I was quite impressed with it, but before I proceed with the review, let me state a couple of things...
First, I am an Aerospace Engineer and have been studying physics and applied science for almost a decade. Science is extremely important to me and I fully accept that science can, and does, lead to Truth.
Second, I am a Christian. As such, I believe that all Truth is revealed by God to us in whatever manner He sees fit, ... Read More

An excellent book and my reading it has caused me to rethink some ideas that I have held since early adulthood. Two points raised by Lee Strobel just won't go away after you put the book down: one, the concept of irreducibly complex mechanisms and the second, the gap in evolutionary records that must be eliminated before evolution as presented in classrooms can be presented as fact. Before I read this book, I thought there must be countless thousands of Earths spread throughout the universe, but if you consider ... Read More

Cunard Line has announced that its new
85,000-ton cruise ship, which is scheduled to enter service in 2008, will be
named Queen Victoria. Based in Southampton, England, the Cunard Queen Victoria will be
the second largest Cunard Queen ever built. Together with the current flagship,
Queen Elizabeth 2, and Queen Mary 2, the biggest passenger liner ever, the
Cunard fleet will include three Queens for the first time – truly the most
famous ocean liners in the world.

Queen Victoria will enter service in the company’s 165th anniversary and will
operate cruises to and from Southampton to the Mediterranean, the Canaries,
Northern Europe, the Caribbean, and South America. The 1,968-passenger vessel
will feature a covered wraparound promenade deck, a forward-facing observation
lounge, a large Lido pool with a retractable magrodome, and 10 of the12
passenger decks will be served by exterior glass-walled lifts. Like QE2 and QM2,
the liner will have a Queens Grill, offering single-seating gourmet dining.
There will also be a unique Colonial Restaurant on Deck 11 with spectacular
panoramic views.
Queen Victoria cruises will offer a wide range of
accommodations, large standard outside cabins (170 square feet) and a high
percentage of balcony cabins (67%), thereby bringing new levels of luxury and
choice to passengers preferring to depart from a European port. Cruise

The on-board menus, entertainment and lecture program will be geared to British
tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red
ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and
she will have a British Captain and Officers.
In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design
teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.
Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near
Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically
advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000
vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally
ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company
Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid
and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery in 2006.
Enjoy a Cruise on Queen Victoria. The
lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.
No cruise schedules have yet been
announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to
her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008. |
