listen folks I don't think you are being at all fair about this...this is a significant development.

i have followed anthony flew's work for years. he is sort of enigmatic in that while he has been a very vocal and very rigorous atheist, he has also been more or less an economic libertarian. he has never embraced socialism. just the opposite. he has almost always been on our side.

i always thought that was interesting. i would think, "well he's half right." i guess from his perspective, i think he must have thought that both religion and socialism are just purely wishful thinking based on feelings, not rigorous thought and investigation.

now, interestingly, the rigor of his thought has led him to doubt his atheism. i think this is significant. and i think we should be grateful that he has the guts and humility after years of being vocal and atheist, to say that maybe he was wrong. how many intellectuals can do that?

my admiration for him has gone up. i think he will come to know the one true triune God before he dies.

Worked for Mortimer Adler, Malcolm Muggeridge, CS Lewis...many many others....

So if a regular person says something foolish it's Ok to criticize. But if a distinguished and pedigreed professor says the same thing - he should be admired?
