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.

 The Case for a Creator October 29, 2008

I was curious to the evidences of God so I bought this DVD. The points made were very thought provoking and inspiring, just amazing and this all coming from a former evolutionist / atheist, so this guy and myself included know both sides!!!! I'm still surprised that evolutionists / atheists still say things like its all lies and debunked and its religion and not science based. This of course is their response to a dying theory full of fallacies and mis-information to mis-lead the masses. Evolution is almost like a religion if not a cult in itself, blind belief even when the science says otherwise. I'm not afraid of a designer / creator aka God, why should evolutionists be afraid or bothered? This dvd was very well done and to those who have an open mind, going were ever the science may lead, this is for you. Don't bother if you have dogmatic evolutionist / atheist mindset because you have eyes but you don't see, ears, but you don't hear.
Keep up the great work Lee, Cheers.
The Case for a Creator October 24, 2008
I loved this DVD. It was so good that it made me cry almost the entire movie. Very convincing scientific evidence that there is a Creator and phenomenal insight about the Creator's nature that can be observed in nature.
A Well done apology for Creationism October 1, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I had the pleasure of viewing Mr. Strobel's film,and it was a well done professionally produced program; Mr. Strobel first went through the arguments against Creationism; the negative arguments; then he brought up the positive arguments in favor of Creationism. The conclusion is inescapable: There can be only one logical explanation for the origin of the Universe, and that is an Inteligent Creator; the odds of the universe emerging out of blind chance are not even within a possibility of occuring; I highly recomend this video, for Home Schoolers or for parents who want to teach their children the truth about the origin of the Universe.

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.
 reinforcing misinformation August 15, 2008

If you are looking to reinforce your existing theological beliefs then you'll love this movie. If you are looking for accurate information then move on, it isn't here.
The movie is full of the usual mistakes and misunderstandings of evolution. Particularly "irreducable complexity" which has been totally discredited and yet plays a major roll in the arguments of this movie.
I have no doubt I'll get nothing but "not usefull" reviews but oh well I tried.
