The Case For a Creator A Journalist Investigates Scientific Evidence That Points Toward God
“My road to atheism was paved by science . . . But, ironically, so was my later journey to God.”—Lee Strobel
Do recent scientific discoveries provide definitive proof of the existence of God? In his characteristic narrative style, Strobel brings this complex topic to vibrant life as he demonstrates how science undergirds Christian beliefs. His conclusions are certain to bolster your faith, as well as break down barriers between seekers and God!
During his academic years, Lee Strobel became convinced that God was outmoded, a belief that colored his ensuing career as an award-winning journalist at the Chicago Tribune. Science had made the idea of a Creator irrelevant—or so Strobel thought. But today science is pointing in a different direction. In recent years, a diverse and impressive body of research has increasingly supported the conclusion that the universe was intelligently designed.
At the same time, Darwinism has faltered in the face of concrete facts and hard reason.
Has science discovered God? At the very least, it's giving faith an immense boost as new findings emerge about the incredible complexity of our universe. Join Strobel as he reexamines the theories that once led him away from God. Through his compelling and highly readable account, you'll encounter the mind-stretching discoveries from cosmology, cellular biology, DNA research, astronomy, physics, and human consciousness that present astonishing evidence in The Case for a Creator.

“This thoughtful, delightfully
contrarian book will rile up those who believe the ‘Copernican
Principle’ is an essential philosophical component
of modern science. Is our universe designedly congenial
to intelligent, observing life? Passionate advocates of
the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) will
rind much to ponder in this carefully documented analysis.”
– Owen Gingerich – Harvard-Smithsonian Center
for Astrophysics, author of The Book Nobody Read: Chasing
the Revolution of Nicolaus Copernicus
The Priviledged Planet Book How our place in the cosmos is designed
for discovery
Is Earth merely an insignificant speck
in a vast and meaningless universe? On the contrary: The Privileged
Planet shows that this cherished assumption of materialism
is dead wrong.
In this provocative book, Guillermo
Gonzalez and Jay W. Richards present a staggering array of
evidence that exposes the hollowness of this modern dogma.
They demonstrate that our planet is exquisitely fit not only
to support life, but also to give us the best view of the
universe, as if Earth were designed both for life and for
scientific discovery. Readers are taken on a scientific odyssey
from a history of tectonic plates, to the wonders of water
and solar eclipses, to our location in the Milky Way, to the
laws that govern the universe, and to the beginning of cosmic
time.
The Privileged Planet’s astounding
findings should lead any individual to reevaluate and even
to reconsider our very purpose on what so many have dismissed
as nothing more than an accident of cosmic evolution.

The Design Revolution Answering the Toughest Questions
About Intelligent Design
Is it science? Is it religion? What exactly
is the Design Revolution?
Today scientists, mathematicians and
philosophers in the intelligent design movement are challenging
a certain view of science--one that limits its investigations
and procedures to purely law-like and mechanical explanations.
They charge that there is no scientific reason to exclude
the consideration of intelligence, agency and purpose from
truly scientific research. In fact, they say, the practice
of science often does already include these factors!
As the intelligent design movement has
gained momentum, questions have naturally arisen to challenge
its provocative claims. In this book William A. Dembski rises
to the occasion clearly and concisely answering the most vexing
questions posed to the intelligent design program. Writing
with nonexperts in mind, Dembski responds to more than sixty
questions asked by experts and nonexperts alike who have attended
his many public lectures, as well as objections raised in
written reviews.
The Design Revolution has begun.
Its success depends on how well it answers the questions of
its detractors. Read this book and you'll have a good idea
of the prospects and challenges facing this revolution in
scientific thinking.

Intelligent Design The Bridge Between Science & Theology
The Intelligent Design movement is three
things:
a scientific research program for
investigating intelligent causes
an intellectual movement that challenges
naturalistic evolutionary theories
a way of understanding divine action
Although the fast-growing movement has
gained considerable grassroots support, many scientists and
theologians remain skeptical about its merits. Scientists
worry that it's bad science (merely creationism in disguise)
and theologians worry that it's bad theology (misunderstanding
divine action). In this book William Dembski addresses these
concerns and brilliantly argues that intelligent design provides
a crucial link between science and theology.
Various chapters creatively and powerfully
address intelligent discernment of divine action in nature,
why the significane of miracles should be reconsidered, and
the demise and unanswered questions of British natural theology.
Effectively challenging the hegemony of naturalism and reinstating
design within science, Dembski shows how intelligent design
can be unpacked as a theory of information.
Intelligent Design is a pivotal, synthesizing
work from a thinker whom Phillip Johnson calls "one of
the most important of the design theorists who are sparking
a scientific revolution by legitimating the concept of intelligent
design in science."

The Wedge of Truth: Splitting the Foudations of Naturalism
This wedge of truth does not "wedge
out" a necessary foundation of rational thought. But
it does "wedge in" the much-needed acknowledgment
that reason encompasses more than mere scientific investigation.
Phillip E. Johnson argues compellingly for an understanding
of reason that brings scientific certainty back into relational
balance with philosophical inquiry and religious faith.
Applying his wedge of truth, Johnson
analyzes the latest debates between science and religion played
out in our media, our universities and society-at-large. He
looks to thinkers such as Newbigin, Polanyi and Pascal to
lay a foundation for our seeing the universe in a totally
different way. And from that base he then considers the educational
programs and research agendas that should be undertaken--and
have already begun in some earnest--during this new century.

Darwin On Trial
Here's the book that has rocked the scientific--and
Christian--establishment.
Phillip Johnson's critique of Darwinian
evolution touched off explosions among scientists and theologians
almost from the day of its publication in 1992. The volatile
debate was at first carried on in academic journals and in
magazines like Nature and Scientific American. It even engaged
the attention of leading evolutionists like Nobel Laureate
physicist Steven Weinberg and prominent naturalist Stephen
Jay Gould. Johnson was invited to debate several of his opponents
at universities across the country. And he was himself the
subject of debate: Michael Ruse, author of Darwinism Defended,
spoke at an annual meeting of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science on the topic "Nonliteralist
Anti-Evolutionism: The Case of Phillip Johnson."
Darwin on Trial also shook up theistic
evolutionists. William Hasker (Huntington College, Indiana)
in the Christian Scholar's Review, Howard Van Till (Calvin
College, Michigan) in First Things and Owen Gingerich (Harvard
Center for Astrophysics) in Perspectives on Science &
the Christian Faith all published their critiques of Darwin
on Trial.

Doubts About Darwin A History of Intelligent Design
Deep in the halls of scientific academia, a debate has been quietly raging between Darwinian macroevolution and the theory of intelligent design. Doubts About Darwin follows the key players in this debate, confronts the challenge of scientific naturalism and provides a stirring overview of this growing movement.
Author Thomas Woodward shows that the erosion of certainty about the factual truth of Darwinism is the product of a rhetorical onslaught… the persuasive case making by highly accredited critics like Phillip Johnson , Michael Behe , and William Dembski .
Accessible and compelling, Doubts About Darwin opens a dramatic door to moral and intellectual reformation.
