 not bad at all, I wish more people would watch itAug 21, 2007
By Konstantin
Pretty good video.
Lee goes around and interviews various people regarding the arguments for the existence of God. I have to admit that the does good job, and the arguments are short, concise, clear, and convincing. Some philosophical arguments are very old, while scientific (i.e. irreducible complexity) is newer.
I wonder greatly WHY nobody celebrated on the idea of "irreducible complexity" before Behe? It seems SO obvious!! When you listen to it, you say... 'it seems like I always knew it, it's so obvious'.
IF you wearing pink glasses of naturalistic dogmatism -
THEN avoid this video, since it may disturb you.
IF you open to see what's up with this "intelligent design movement" -
THEN watch it with no preconceived assumptions and you may actually come to know about God.
IF you are a believer -
THEN watch this video to build up your faith.

Interesting from a medical perspectiveMay 09, 2008
By MD with Faith
This is an excellent video. It is extremely easy to watch and to comprehend. In college, we are taught about Darwin evolution as if it was true and scientific. However, if you look at the complexity of the human body from individual cells to organs to functions of different body parts, it is very difficult to believe that the body was a result of a "random" process and evolving from simple one celled organisms.
I watched in this video to see the scientific evidence for or against intelligent design and I was amazed how much the scientific evidence supports intelligent design. This video logically discusses how the various fields of science supports and confirms intelligent design. The idea of "irreducible complexity" explains how even simple living cells cannot be a result of a random process. There is such beautiful design, complexity and architecture in every aspect of the human body from muscles to blood cells to bone to skin that challenges the theory of a random chance of events. Even something as simple as the disc within the spine has such intricate engineering and perfect architecture that it clearly points to an incredible creator.
I highly recommend this video to anyone- the skeptic, the agnostic, the atheist and also the Christians. I was looking for something scientific and something logical and this video fulfills both. Enjoy.

Exemplary documentaryAug 12, 2011
By Susquehannock
Looking at some of the "poor" reviews given here, it smacks me that they are not critical reviews of the documentary, they are lash-outs against intelligent design from people who are angered by its mere notion. People of such bias are not going to be convinced of intelligent design no matter what evidence is presented to them. So much for objectivity.
Since when is a documentary required to present opposing view points? If you watch a National Geographic documentary about zebras, there is no opposing viewpoint. What is wrong with a documentary with the purpose of making a case for the existence of something doing just that- making a case? If you are looking for countering perspective, there is nothing stopping you from doing so from other resources. It is not Lee Strobel's burden to do that for you. He presents his viewpoint, and there is nothing wrong with that. The title is afterall, "The CASE for a Creator".
So, keeping the review objective, this documentary evaluated as any documentary should be without regard to the subject matter, is exemplary. The points are well thought out, well presented, and convincing. The format is exceptional, complex thoughts and ideas are easy to follow, and the graphics and videography are state-of-the-art.
Whether or not the viewer has a bias against intelligent design should not be the basis of an objective review. This video was interesting, informative, and entertaining, and definitely worth the time to watch.
To jump on the subjectivity bandwagon, I will close with this final thought: It takes as much faith to believe in the absence of an intelligent designer as it does to believe in one.

Wow! I was impressed!Aug 25, 2008
By Young Foosha
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.
A Scientific Look at the FaithDec 11, 2011
By J. G. Lewis
"the lantern"
This is a very solid presentation of the scientific support for the Christian faith. I have not seen all of Lee Strobel's videos yet, but this is very well done indeed. (I liked it so much, I purchased the 3 pack he has made available.) The gentleman started out an atheist, as many of us do, but when his wife turned to the faith, he thought he would give it a serious examination. And what he found out was that the Christian faith is not at all without support; indeed, the more one examines, the less foundation there seems for atheistic theories and perspectives. So Mr. Strobel became a Christian, as his wife! So his quest is here presented: we see Lee going to various universities and colleges, interviewing and researching. Not overly sophisticated, yet not without depth either; this is a video that will please the general audience. Highly recommended.
