Sounds like Mr. Wilson is finally comprehending the mortality of his physical being, and is hedging his bets on the destiny for his soul.

If God can convert Paul on the road to Damascus, he can convert anyone.

Is he still selling his anti-faith books?
Is he planning on writing a new one?

Have you ever heard the one about the Christian who started to study calculus and ended up losing his faith?No, I haven't.
In fact -- there is no possible connection between studying calculus and questions of faith.
What a loopy proposition!

faith is a hard thing to have. Faith is like a muscle. It can be damaged through abuse and will waste away through neglect.

Atheists who “do the right things” are idiots by their own definition. If there is not God, then there is no right or wrong and doing unselfish things for a world that will eventually forget you ever existed is stupid.

“hedging his bets”.
Pascal’s wager.
I think C.S. Lewis first set out to “prove” there was no God. He came up with a different answer than he thought.
A lawyer by the name of Josh McDowell (?) set out to prove, using legal/courtroom style justice that the Resurrection was false. He too came up with a different answer and wrote a very detailed and compelling book “Evidence Demands a Verdict”, and became a prolific Christian writer.
I imagine the list goes on and on.

He now says he believes that atheists are like "people who have no ear for music or who have never been in love." Nice metaphors though.

don't get me started on either torn muscles or atrophied muscles....I have had to deal with both.

I dunno....10 years of parochial school and 40+years later and I am still looking....its gotta be here somewhere.

Have you ever heard the one about the Christian who started to study calculus and ended up losing his faith? Of course you have. Actually, no I hadn't. And Anyone whose faith is so fragile that he would lose it over such a small issue as mathematics didn't have faith to begin with. Like those dolts who were sure that the Davinci Code or Angels and Demons would result in Christians walking away from church, they obviously have no real idea what they were talking about.

Exactly. The article said: He attributed this to “the confidence I have gained with age.”
Seems like he knows at age 58 years old that his time is getting shorter. What is sickening is these people in their younger age spew their atheist nonsense. They often belittle people of faith. I doubt he will now write a book about faith.

To me math and science is how we explain God’s creativity, in terms we can understand.
