Who Is Lee Strobel's Journey?

Case For A Creator is not a story, but a collection of interviews. The book is a very powerful apologetic book. It bring light to many unanswered questions that graze the mind of believers. Lee Strobel is a journalist, author, and a well known apologetic speaker. As a young reporter, Strobel would write for the Chicago Tribune. He wrote from an atheistic view point questioning and bashing Christian's behaviors. After becoming a Christian he goes on a mission, interviewing famous religious scientist and professors to prove Christianity through undisputed science.

The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls has been described by numerous scholars and biblical commentators as one of the most important finds in archeological history. (Top 10 Most Important Historical Finds) The find occurred in 1947 when a Bedouin shepherd came across sealed jars in a cave containing leather scrolls. The scrolls which were subsequently brought to an antiques dealer in Bethlehem were purchased by a Syrian Orthodox Archbishop named Mar (Athanasius) Samuel. ( HYPERLINK "http://bible.org/byauthor/2658/Patrick%20Zukeran" Zukeran) He recognized that the scrolls were in Hebrew and were possibly very ancient. These scrolls were then examined by a prominent Middle East archaeologist, Dr. William Albright, and were confirmed as originating between the first and second century B.C.

The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which was initially made in 1947, represents one of the most important archeological discoveries made in the twentieth century. In the caves of the cliffs overhanging the northwestern end of the Dead Sea, in an area now known as Khirbet Qumran, a number of large clay jars containing more than six hundred ancient Hebrew and Aramaic manuscripts were discovered by some travelling Bedouins. These manuscripts were attributed to the members of a previously unknown Jewish brotherhood, and were written approximately between the years of 100BCE and 68CE. While these scrolls provide scientists and historians with a window into a previously undiscovered community,

Biblical Archeology has helped in supporting the historicity of the Bible. Not that archaeology proves or disapproves the Bible – this it does not, it only supports the history of the Bible. One of the discoveries that support the biblical historicity is the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Dead Sea Scrolls came from eleven caves, mined over the course of seven years, over 15,000 documents supporting biblical historicity have been unearthed at Qumran. One of the archeologist that played an important part in this discovery was Yigael Yadin of Israel.

It was once believed that life could come from nonliving things, such as mice from corn, flies from bovine manure, maggots from rotting meat, and fish from the mud of previously dry lakes. Spontaneous generation is the incorrect hypothesis that nonliving things are capable of producing life. Several experiments have been conducted to disprove spontaneous generation; a few of them are covered in the sections that follow. One experiment that stands out the most was Francisco Redi’s “Meat and Maggots,” experiment.

What Strobel does in this book is to give eight objections to belief in God that those of us who work with people in doubt (agnostic or atheist) hear, and he then responds to them. The objections are:

“Without doubt these artefacts belonged to Paestum,” said Gabrial Zuchtrigel.” “We don't know which tomb they belonged because the site was raided by robbers – something which is devastating for real archaeology.”

Still, how you can revise life coming from non-life, from a frog coming from a non-frog, or from a human coming from a non-human, when such theory cannot test or prove such? The same for the big bang theory; how the first star formed is

In 1947, a young shepherd boy was tending to his goats in a land called Khirbat Qumran. After roaming with his flock, he discovered a cave laying open for his exploration. Out of curiosity, the youngster tossed a stone into the abyss of darkness. The sound wave of broken pottery echoes back to the boy. Inside the clay canisters laid the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Scrolls are believed to be written between 150 B.C. and 70 A.D (Wise, Abegg, and Cook).

In 1947 in a cave near the Dead sea in the Jordan Desert, a fifteen year old boy chased after one of his goats that wandered off. This boy's name was Muhammad adh-Dhib. While going after his goat, the boy stumbled upon perhaps the greatest religious discovery of the modern era. Inside the cave, he found broken jars that contained scrolls written in a strange language, wrapped in linen cloth and leather. These scrolls would later become known as the Dead Sea Scrolls. This first discovery produced seven scrolls and started an archaeological search that produced thousands of scroll fragments in eleven caves.

The Dead Sea scrolls are ancient religious writings found in eleven caves eight miles south of Jericho, in the ruins near the site of Qumran. A Bedouin shepherd named Muhammad Edg-Dhib in 1946 discovered the first of the scrolls and they continued to discover more text till 1956 (Vermes, Geza). The Dead Scrolls are a collection of some 981 texts; radio carbon dating suggested the date the scrolls were written was around 33 c.e with a 10 percent margin of error (Vermes, Geza). But improvements in the radio carbon dating techniques suggest the majority of the Dead Sea Scrolls was written between the 2nd century BCE and 2nd century CE. (Lim, Timothy H., and John J. Collins).

The Dead Sea Scrolls are a collection of different texts that were first discovered by a young boy named Juma and his cousins, who were Bedouin goat herders, in 1947 in a cave at the Khirbet Qumran in the West Bank near the Dead Sea, from which they derive their name. Then, in 1949 archaeologists searched and discovered more scrolls in ten other caves in the area. The texts are of great historical and religious value. They include the third oldest known surviving texts of works included in the Bible and they date back 1,000 years from the oldest known texts at that time and are when Jesus lived. They also contain previously unknown stories about biblical figures. The texts are written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. “Probably the Dead Sea Scrolls have had the greatest Biblical impact. They have provided Old Testament manuscripts. The Dead Sea Scrolls have demonstrated that the Old Testament was accurately transmitted during this interval. In addition, they provide a wealth of information on the times leading up to, and during, the life of Christ (Wood).” Therefore, the Dead Sea Scrolls are important to us today.

The Dead Sea Scrolls are 981 documents, mostly in fragments, which were discovered between the years of 1946-1956 in eleven caves at Khirbet Qumran. However, the discovery was by Bedouin Shepherd Muhammed Edh-Dhib who was looking for his lost sheep and threw a stone into a cave and heard the sound of breaking pottery stone into a cave and heard the sound of breaking pottery. Furthermore, to which he entered the cave, he founded pottery jars and scrolls, the first scrolls which were found included the Manual of Discipline, the Genesis Apocryphon, the War Scrolls, the Habbakuk Pesher, the Isaiah Scrolls, and the Thanksgiving Hymns were among the scrolls founded in the first cave. (Zukeran, 2006) The Dead Sea Scrolls was hidden for over two thousand

For many years the origin of life has plagued our minds. There are many theories on the origin of life but there are two that are most commonly discussed and argued; Creationism (Intelligent Design) and Evolution. Both of these are completely different. Evolution is the belief that there is a process in which different kinds of living organisms develop and change in their genetic composition over generations which evolutionists believe may be caused by mutation, natural selection or inbreeding (Biology Online, 2008). Mutations are a change in DNA that can not be controlled; the mutations can either be helpful, harmful or beneficial to the organism (Understanding Evolution, 2012).Mutations don’t try to provide systems with what they need, because
