Discover the astonishing evidence for intelligent design in this New York Times bestselling book by award-winning journalist Lee Strobel. "My road to atheism was paved by science . . . but, ironically, so was my later journey to God," Strobel says. During his academic years, Lee Strobel became convinced that God was obsolete, a belief that colored his journalism career. Science had made the idea of a Creator irrelevant--or so Strobel thought. But today science points in a different direction. 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 compelling evidence in The Case for a Creator. Also available: The Case for a Creator small group video study and study guide, Spanish edition, kids' edition, student edition, and more.

I bring forth throughout the chapters of this book the story of the reign of the Dragon Lords and enslavement of the pre-Adamic peoples as connected to the legendary Atlantean myths of the antediluvian world. I explain how the creation of the heavens and the earth as a 'perfect work', and man initially to be not vain but inhabited according to Isaiah 45:18, ended up being destroyed by the rebellion of the angels and war which initially fought in the heavens, resulted in the earth becoming a deserted wasteland and an indistinguishable ruin. Examining in very thorough manner the Genesis 1:2 phrase 'and the earth was without form and void', I expound upon how this verse in the Hebrew, eretz hayyah tohuw wa bohuw, implies that a previous earth and age existed in our distant past before the earth was reformed, reestablish, and restored in habitation. Peter describes how the world that then was perished which in the Greek is the word, ἀπόλλυμι apóllymi, ap-ol'-loo-mee; which means to destroy fully, to put out of the way entirely, abolish, put an end to ruin; render useless, kill, to devote or give over to eternal misery in hell, to perish, be lost, ruined, or annihilated.

What if the biblical creation account is true, with the origins of Adam and Eve taking place alongside evolution? Building on well-established but overlooked science, S. Joshua Swamidass explains how it's possible for Adam and Eve to be rightly identified as the ancestors of everyone, opening up new possibilities for understanding Adam and Eve consistent both with current scientific consensus and with traditional readings of Scripture.
