One comment:

"You believe that there is one God: you do well. The devils also
believe, and tremble." James 2:19

Good quote. I hasten to add that Flew IS NOT A CHRISTIAN. Only a
believer in the existence of God. He has not by his own admission,
taken that step (yet) pending further evidence and personal
investigation ( but at 84, I don't know how much time he still has... ).

For your perusal : Former foremost atheist, Philosopher, Antony
Flew's latest book --
<http://www.harpercollins.com/books/9780061335297/There_Is_a_God/index.aspx>"There
IS a God : How the World's Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind".

Antony Flew was one of the world's most prominent atheist who wrote
many books trying to debunk the notion of the existence of God.

He has debated many Christian thinkers like Gary Habermas and William
Lane Craig on the issue in the past and was considered a champion of atheism.

Among his most famous books promoting atheism are :

* Hume's Philosophy of Belief (1961)

* Logic And Language (1961) editor

* God and Philosophy (1966)

* Logic & Language (Second Series) (1966) editor * Evolutionary Ethics (1967)

* Darwinian Evolution (1984)

* God, Freedom and Immortality: A Critical Analysis. (1984)

* The Presumption of Atheism (1984)

* God: A Critical Inquiry (1986)

* Does God Exist?: A Believer and an Atheist Debate (1991) with Terry
L. Miethe

* Does God Exist: The Craig-Flew Debate (2003) with William Lane Craig

However, after re-thinking the issue for a long time, Flew announced
that he has come to believe in God, three years ago (2004).

Antony Flew, has now authored a book with HarperCollins (There Is a
God: How the World's Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind, October
23, 2007), his co-author being Roy Varghese, author of the
Intelligent Design friendly book :
<http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1892743/href>WONDER OF THE
WORLD: A JOURNEY FROM MODERN SCIENCE INTO THE MIND OF GOD

Charles H. Townes - Nobel Prize winner and inventor of the laser, has
actually endoresed Varghese's book as : "...a sensitive, profound and
clear discussion of the important issues of our universe and our existence."

This is how the Publisher describes Flew's latest book :

---------------------------------------

For the first time, this book will present a detailed and fascinating
account of Flew's riveting decision to revoke his previous beliefs
and argue for the existence of God. Ever since Flew's announcement,
there has been great debate among atheists and believers alike about
what exactly this "conversion" means. There Is a God will finally put
this debate to rest.

This is a story of a brilliant mind and reasoned thinker, and where
his lifelong intellectual pursuit eventually led him: belief in God
as designer.

------------------------------------------

This book is sure to be a facinating read for the open-minded.

In one of the biggest religion news stories of the new millennium,
the Associated Press announced that Professor Antony Flew, the
world's leading atheist, now believes in God.

Flew is a pioneer for modern atheism. His famous paper, Theology and
Falsification, was first presented at a meeting of the Oxford
Socratic Club chaired by C. S. Lewis and went on to become the most
widely reprinted philosophical publication of the last five decades.
Flew earned his fame by arguing that one should presuppose atheism
until evidence of a God surfaces. He now believes that such evidence
exists, and There Is a God chronicles his journey from staunch
atheism to believer.

For the first time, this book will present a detailed and fascinating
account of Flew's riveting decision to revoke his previous beliefs
and argue for the existence of God. Ever since Flew's announcement,
there has been great debate among atheists and believers alike about
what exactly this "conversion" means. There Is a God will finally put
this debate to rest.

This is a story of a brilliant mind and reasoned thinker, and where
his lifelong intellectual pursuit eventually led him: belief in God
as designer.
