GOD'S CRIME SCENE: A Cold-Case Detective Examines the Evidence for a Divinely Created Universe Paperback – Illustrated, 21 Oct. 2021

J. Warner Wallace’s book, God’s Crime Scene, is a refreshingly new approach in apologetics. Drawing on his years of experience as a cold case investigator Wallace brings a detective’s perspective to evidence evaluation and case construction.In cold cases the witnesses may have died and the investigators who originally recorded the crime may also have died. Yet, even in such cases, the cold case investigator can reconstruct the case such that in a court of law enough evidence can be produced so that the accused can be found guilty beyond all reasonable doubt.According to Wallace there are four reasons for any death. These are natural causes, accidental death, suicide and homicide. When the investigator approaches a death scene, he assesses the evidence. In the case of natural death, accidental death and suicide, he can account for the event by evidence inside the room. In the case of homicide, the evidence points to someone outside the room. A homicide turns a death scene into a crime scene.Wallace depicts the universe as a crime scene and using the methodology of a cold case investigator and the dichotomy of inside the room and outside the room, he shows that by using four categories of evidence; viz, cosmological evidence, biological evidence, mental evidence and moral evidence, the most reasonable explanation is that the evidence depicted indicates that some agent “outside the room” is responsible for the creation of the universe. Thus the creation of the universe cannot be accounted for on naturalistic grounds.Wallace’s style of writing and his frequent references to other cases of homicide makes this account accessible to both the general and the more serious reader. His attention to detail and his abductive reasoning skills shows in the way he weighs up the evidence to provide the best and most reasonable explanation for the evidence at hand. He provides enough resources so that the serious reader can further investigate the evidence.I have no hesitation in recommending this book to anyone interested in the subject.

A great book for individuals or groups. A fantastic companion to God's Crime Scene. Another great book by J. Warner Wallace looking at the evidence.

We live in a sceptical world. Atheists are sceptical if Christianity and I am sceptical of the perceived wisdom of the world. Arguments abound with just raw emotion and personal persuasion are presented to support deeply held beliefs. However in this book, the latest theories and arguments for and against st are presented. Evidence is produced and evaluated as if in a courtroom and you are left with no doubt in declaring God guilty of creating everything we see and know.

I love the way Jim communicates truth by thinking clearly and drawing great pictures to make his points. He takes things many people struggle to understand and makes it possible to not only understand but to share with others. If you want to discover the truth, then get hold of this book.

Fascinating read. In-depth but highly accessible. I really appreciated the logic of the progression of his reasoning and the real world examples of cases he has been involved in that are used to illustrate the points he makes. These are exceptionally useful in helping him reason the way he does. Smooth narrative and well researched and bibliographed. Highly recommended.

For any argument, they must show evidence, agree on terms being used, and be logical. i.e how it matches up to reality. Great read already recommended to friends and family

Set out the main issues in the area and provides references for further research. His communication style is excellent and examples from Police work are useful.

An incredible book from an Incredible detective. Thank you.
