The Case for a Creator by Lee Strobel

This is a popular-level, well-written story of investigation of evolution and science. Its main value is accessibility and exposure to seminal thinkers who understand the limits of science and the weaknesses of neo-Darwinism. It is full of revealing quotes on both sides. It makes clear that to say that science is the only "begettor of truth" (Richard Lewontin) is self-contradictory since this thesis itself is not testable by the scientific method. William Lane Craig, Robin Collins, Jay Wesley Richards, Stephen C. Meyer, Alvin Platinga are all featured and interviewed or quoted. Good endnotes and bibliography. Would make a good enjoyable class book.
