The first assertion is where he notes that all Christian believers are, in fact, atheists, as it
pertains to any number of historically known deities.
Get Started List...

- The Case for Christ
- The Case for Faith
- The Case for a Creator
- The Case for the Real Jesus
- The Case for Miracles
-
NOTE: You should take the time to read all of these. Each book answers different questions. To know where to find the answer to a question being raised (in some future class or conversation) will be a product of having familiarized yourself with the ground Strobel covers. He's given us a wonderful gift. It's a basic Christian apologetics anthology. He interviews many of the leading Christian apologists and raises the salient questions you'll encounter.

- The Mysterious Epigenome: What Lies Beyond DNA
- Icons of Evolution
- The Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent Design
- The Myth of Junk DNA, by Jonathan Wells

-
Note: Excellent read and very even handed. Both Phillip Johnson and Michael Behe credit Michael Denton with getting them thinking. One of my favorites. Michael Denton is an agnostic.
- Darwin's Black Box, by Michael Behe
- The Edge of Evolution, by Michael Behe
- Darwin Devolves, by Michael Behe
-
Note: Michael Behe initiated the idea of Irreducible Complexity. He was featured in Strobel's, The Case for a Creator, is a Roman Catholic, and believes in common descent - that humans and apes shared a common ancestor.
- Darwin on Trial, by Phillip Johnson
- Defeating Darwinism by Opening Minds, by Phillip Johnson
-
Note: Phillip Johnson is a Christian, taught at UC Berkeley, and was the first non-scientist to publically take on the Darwinian establishment. Darwin on Trial is a must read.
