Book Reviews of The Case for a Creator: A Journalist Investigates Scientific Evidence That Points Toward God
Book Review: A Case for Ignorance
Summary: 2 Stars
I was initially very excited when i first read this book because i thought that the information presented was new. However, not long after finishing the book, and after a small amount of online researching, I was dissappointed to find out that many of the 'experts' that Strobel interviews are not widely accepted as experts at all. Many of the biological arguments put forward are not that new and most have been countered by quite damning rebuffs.My main criticism is that the case for a creator relies predominantly on 'arguments from ignorance'. E.g. 'we see X and Y in the universe -how could this possibly be explained without a God?!'. Traditionally these kind of arguments have to be withdrawn over the years as scientific discovery and knowledge advances. This kind of argumentation often leads to a retreating 'god of the gaps' mentality.
If you're already fed up with creationists' strawman arguments then avoid the first few chapters containing interviews with creationist scientific 'experts'.
Nonetheless, I found the book was easy to read and thought provoking, if not only as a springboard to reading more carefully around the range of subject matter covered by the book.
