How does the author view Darwin's theory of evolution in the book, The Case For a Creator?

Believing in Darwin's Theory is a greater leap of faith than believing in God. Strobel draws this conclusion in the final chapter of his book, and bases his position wholly on scientific and rational evidence.

Strobel explains early on to readers that he was both an avowed atheist and avowed Darwinist. He looked with disdain upon believers. However, he had to second-guess himself when his wife became a believer. Because of her, he decided to reconsider his beliefs with an open mind, seeing where scientific evidence would take him. Strobel’s book becomes the core of his two-year journey which took him around America in search of answers.

Strobel’s investigation yielded an immense array of evidence which pointed toward God, rather than away from God. The investigation also yielded the shortcomings of Darwinian evolution, including faked, out-of-date, and failed evidence. The investigation also yielded the lengths to which scientists would go to come up with naturalistic explanations, even without evidence –such as the idea of an expanding and contracting universe which runs counter to the evidence that the universe is only expanding.

Upon completion of his journey, Strobel assessed and analyzed all of the evidence. Darwin’s theory –which requires the creation of existence from nothing, that non-life produces life, etc. –simply did not stand up to the reality of the evidence. Instead, the evidence pointed toward God as the best possible explanation. Darwin’s theory requires belief in things that do not Real evidence leads to God.
