in this case is hearing the findings of science.

Science??? When Antony Flew gets labeled 'senile' because he admits evolution has serious flaws and doesn't explain the origins of the Universe, much less LIFE, that's considered a scientific attitude?

If you redefine science to mean "pro evolutionary findings" instead of objective fact, then yes, we will take issue with that. And that is EXACTLY what you do. Christians are not afraid of science, if science is the study of truth and the pursuit of knowledge to that end.

Please provide the citation, complete with source, where Anthony Flew complains that the theory of evolution doesn't "explain the origins of the Universe."

If he has in fact made such an absurd complaint, senility would be as plausible an explanation as any. But I seriously doubt that he has.

Try to understand this: evolutionary science does not address questions about the origins of abiotic nature, or even of life. It explains certain features of life on this planet, notably how it has changed and diversified over time. It is not a theory of everything and does not aim to be one.

I will be waiting for the citation from Professor Flew.

If you are implying that Flew speaks for all of science, that is news to me. I will have to let the rest of science know that our 'voice' has just falsified our life's work. It is apparently time to pack up the lab and head home.
