Before I write my review, I think it's necessary to state a little about myself. Growing up in school, I had no internal conflicts with science and faith. When I got to college, my natural sciences professor with his anti-Christian attitude all but shoved me in the direction of intelligent design (which, ironically, I had never heard of prior to taking his class). I remained that way for about two years before I again accepted evolution as a valid theory. That being said, reading this book did not push me back to intelligent design. On the plus side, Lee Strobel has delightful linguistic style. Instead of being dry and boring like an encyclopedia, his writing is peppered with anecdotes and vivid word illustrations. He also went to great lengths to find respected scientists who are experts in their fields to build his case. However, I did not feel like he built much of a case at all. Much of the first part of the book is concerned with the Big Bang theory, which apparently some atheists deny because it implies there must have been someone to create it. Not only is this not true in my experience, but that also leaves open the question, "Where did God come from?" -- the answer being that God transcends time and space and he is eternal. There was also a statement that, "Maybe the world LOOKS like it is designed because it IS designed!" Tautologies hardly account for an argument. On the other hand, I thought it was interesting to learn of Earth's astronomical privilege and the holes in evolution. However, by the time I finished reading and set the book down, I was still unsure of exactly what the author believes and what he wanted me to believe. I remain a faithful believer in God that happens also to believe in science.
