Review

Interesting, from an Engineering Perspective. As an engineer, this DVD really clicked with me. (Lee) Strobel found experts who really approached nature from the same perspective an engineer would if he were given a product and told to reverse engineer it to see how it worked. Indeed, just the fact that such analytical techniques even hold up, let alone produce results that fall so cleanly into established technological paradigms, should be an earth-shaking finding. --(James E. - KY)

Very informative and scientific. This video is very thorough in discussing several different scientific thoughts on the origin of creation. It also has good commentary from Lee (Strobel) about why he went on his search. I would recommend this to middle schoolers on up. But if you show it to teens, do not show it all at once because it is pretty in depth in terms of scientific discussion. --(P. S. - Indianapolis, IN)

Incredible! Great investigative writer, intriguing topic in DVD format, highly suggested for intelligent, open minded adults and teens. --(Thomas K. - CA)

5.0 out of 5 stars Exemplary documentary August 12, 2011

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars not bad at all, I wish more people would watch it August 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! I was impressed! August 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.
