Many critics of Strobel denounce his pro Christian view. Perhaps the focus of the debate should not be on evolution vs creationism so much as origin of life: Natural and biochemical or Supernatural.
To believe in the supernatural, one needs to experience it. It is just as ignorant to ignore the disciplines of science and education, however.
The issue is basically black or white, for me. It is my belief that the Creator lives and that He interacts with us on a daily basis.
If you are a science student, you will not be judged on your beliefs regarding scientific processes and the disciplines that you have been taught. You will have to answer for your internal awareness of something (someone) greater than human wisdom and how you choose to examine and perceive this.
We do choose our beliefs, and our beliefs are rooted in experience. Belief is not to be taken lightly. When I read what an atheist writes, I take it very seriously. I also take Strobel seriously, because I believe that he has committed himself to his belief. I look forward to reading the book.
