Product Description

This 60-minute program is a compelling adaptation of Lee Strobel's personal journey from atheism to faith in God... a journey in search of the truth about intelligent design in the universe. During his academic years, Lee became convinced that God was outmoded, a belief that colored his ensuing career as an award-winning journalist at the Chicago Tribune . Science made the idea of a Creator irrelevant... or so Strobel thought. My road to atheism was paved by science... but, ironically, so was my later journey to God. Lee Strobel Has science discovered God? At the very least, it's giving faith an immense boost as new findings emerge about the incredible complexity of life and our universe. In The Case for a Creator DVD, Strobel reexamines the theories that once led him away from God. Highlighted by spectacular computer animation, The Case for a Creator DVD is a remarkable film in which you'll encounter the mind-stretching discoveries from cosmology, cellular biology, DNA research, astronomy, physics, and human consciousness. The Case for a Creator DVD is produced by Illustra Media, the same studio team that released The Privileged Planet, Unlocking the Mystery of Life , Where Does the Evidence Lead and The Prophecies of the Passion . More than 40 minutes of extra bonus features.

Review
Interesting, from an Engineering Perspective. As an engineer, this DVD really clicked with me. (Lee) Strobel found experts who really approached nature from the same perspective an engineer would if he were given a product and told to reverse engineer it to see how it worked. Indeed, just the fact that such analytical techniques even hold up, let alone produce results that fall so cleanly into established technological paradigms, should be an earth-shaking finding. --(James E. - KY)

Review
Very informative and scientific. This video is very thorough in discussing several different scientific thoughts on the origin of creation. It also has good commentary from Lee (Strobel) about why he went on his search. I would recommend this to middle schoolers on up. But if you show it to teens, do not show it all at once because it is pretty in depth in terms of scientific discussion. --(P. S. - Indianapolis, IN)

Review
Incredible! Great investigative writer, intriguing topic in DVD format, highly suggested for intelligent, open minded adults and teens. --(Thomas K. - CA)

Customer Reviews

not bad at all, I wish more people would watch it
Pretty good video.
Lee goes around and interviews various people regarding the arguments for the existence of God. I have to admit that the does good job, and the arguments are short, concise, clear, and convincing. Some philosophical arguments are very old, while scientific (i.e. irreducible complexity) is newer.
I wonder greatly WHY nobody celebrated on the idea of "irreducible complexity" before Behe? It seems SO obvious!! When you listen to it, you say... 'it seems like I always knew it, it's so obvious'.

IF you wearing pink glasses of naturalistic dogmatism -
THEN avoid this video, since it may disturb you.

IF you open to see what's up with this "intelligent design movement" -
THEN watch it with no preconceived assumptions and you may actually come to know about God.

IF you are a believer -
THEN watch this video to build up your faith.

Well researched and impressive!!!
What I LOVE about this video is that it provides amazing (and in my view, irrefutable) evidence that points to a Divine Creator. For so long, it has seemed that the Darwinian theory has been the stronger argument (even though it is erroneous and full of holes, some of which even Darwin himself was aware of)... but this blows the whole thing wide open!

For anyone who is interested in studying Christian apologetics or to just have some solid evidence to support your belief and/or faith in God, please check out this video. I have been very encouraged by what I learned and the path that led Lee Strobel (a former atheist) to belief in God... to the point that his whole mission in life is now to help others do the same.

This is GREAT video for any of you who are proponents of Darwin's theories... because if you TRULY value keeping an open mind, this is the compelling "other side of the argument" that you don't often hear. I hope that you'll choose to watch this and to come to your own conclusions afterward.

Wow! I was impressed!
This is a very good video that offers a quick overview of many of intelligent design theory's main arguments. It creates a powerful case, but doesn't bog you down in the details (which for those interested are available in more depth on Illusta Media's other videos). Very sharp, well-presented, and succinct. I like Steve Meyer's statements and choice of words, which pack a whallop. And he hits the nail on the head by noting the difference between an argument that has a religious motivation, and an argument that has a religious implication in its conclusion. Evolutionists are always confusing the two. The arguments presented in The Case for a Creator are weighty, and only those with an anti-God bias will take exception to the observational evidence presented that strongly implies a creator. The difficulty that evolutionists will have with this video is the temptation of closed-mindedness to new ideas, because change is difficult to accept. It can even be seen in the negative Amazon.com reviews this video has received - how evolutionists must resort to the logical fallacy of ad-hominem attacks, by claiming the video is faith-based, rather than scientifically refuting any of the points presented. But no evolutionist has ever proffered any good observational evidence that proves that life WAS NOT designed. And herein lies the problem: Things really look an awful lot like they were designed. Even the brilliant late Francis Crick stated that biologists must continually remind themselves that what they see was not designed. Why did he say this? Because everything looks like it was designed! Piltdown man is a good example of how the evolutionary paradigm blinds observers to where the evidence is really leading. And just as it took a long time for people to get over their belief that the world was flat or that life can spontaneously spring from rotten meat, this video exposes how evolutionists will go down fighting to the end to prop up their crumbling theory. Even to the point of clinging to logic-defying arguments, such as the concept of multiple universes, which this video exposes as a last-ditch effort to rescue chance from the overwhelming odds against it. True story - a biology prof at Macomb County College in Michigan is currently teaching his malleable freshman class that "evolution is fact because it has never been disproven," and if you don't believe in evolution, then you don't believe in science. It's understandable, yet sad, that evolutionists must resort to the logical fallacy of negative proof in order to ramrod evolutionary belief into the minds of future scientists.
