the case for a creator by lee strobel 340 pages zondervan by frank king staff writer is there a god did hesheit design the universe delicately place earth with in it and then carefully create humanity one of the bestknown apologists for orthodox christianity says yes of course in a book subtitled a journalist investigates scientific evidence that points toward god mr strobel a former chicago daily news reporter certainly did his home work tackling the subject he interviews eight godbelieving phd heavy thinkers from the halls of academia and in a conversational style that puts him and his ego right in the thick of things gets down to the nitty gritty of existence its an easy and fascinating read ranging from exploring if there is a par allel universe to describing the complex makeup of protein to the question of whether or riot consciousness and the mind are separate things educational definitely at one point mr strobel and authorprofessor michael behe ponder bacterial flagel- lum propellerlike biological machines for transporting bacteria according to mr behe flagellum can spin at 10000 revolutions per minute then stop within a quarter turn and spin in the opposite direction at the same speed flagellum are so complex between 30 and 35 proteins are needed to create a functioning unit and mr strobel writes no darwinloving scientist has ever been able to propose a stepbystep evolutionary process that would lead to its creation it was god they both say and i agree wading through this can sometimes be a bit heavy but mr strobels journal istic roots usually pull things back to a level most of us can understand while still feeling intellectually challenged but there are two problems first how many atheists are really really out there not many i suggest a majority of canadians brought up in a society that discourages pondering lee strobel christian author and apologist interviews sympathetic experts in science and biology to line up evidence for gods existence deeper important issues of existence simply figure theres probably a god and thats that so mr strobel goes overboard espe cially in taking veiled shots at darwin ists as he likes to call scientists who believe evolution will eventually explain everything to prove something that doesnt need proving a majority of canadians brought up in a society that discourages pondering deeper important issues of existence simply figure there s probably a god and thats that secondly the subtitle of this book is wrong mr strobel hasnt been a jour nalist for at least 20 years hes an evangelical christian making a very good living writing books most notably the case for faith and the cose for christ defending his faith as a fellow christian i have no prob lem with his books or the income hes earned from them as a journalist how ever i raise the flag of protest frank king is an assistant editor with the york region newspaper group r i o the liver acute hepatic failure alagilles syndrote andersons
