On 10/29/05, 10/31/05, and 11/1/05; I wrote a three part series entitled “Evolution and GOD.” I was asked “Where can I find more information.” On my 11/12/05 blog, I listed some additional sources including The Case for a Creator by Lee Strobel. I had not actually read the book but it was recommended as a good scientific source of information. I asked for and received a copy of the book for Christmas and finished reading it in March.
It was an interesting and informative read. One of the attributes of the book is that the author also gave a list of suggested readings after most of the chapters. Tonight, I am also providing these suggested readings from the book if you are interested in further sources in this area.
