Amazing how some atheists come around the closer they get to meeting their Creator...

[RobRoy]

And another potential thousand plus post thread exits the womb...

I like the mention of C. S. Lewis at the end. He is my favorite author.

It is also nice that he brings up one of my favorite points. To wit, that a book written thousands of years ago and has quite a bit to say about creation, still cannot be refuted by modern science. Oh, peoples interpretations of it can be, but it cannot. Kind of like it's prophesies...

Cool.

"This is the creature, the evolution of which a truly comprehensive theory of evolution must give some account."

Someone needs to tell this 81 year professor from Oxford University that the Theory of Evolution does not speak to the issue of origins, therefore it must not, and cannot, be held accountable in this regard.

[Joe 6-pack]

I don't believe in atheists...I can prove their nonexistance.

AT 81, he may not have much time left to make up his mind whether he should follow up on his realization of a deity.

[Annie03]

Induldge me ping :D

[AmericaUnited]

and as more and more thinking intellectuals are discovering today

And that is the key phrase. The brain-dead ones still cling to a theory only a real idiotic or and religious fanatic could believe in.

[Viking2002]

Well, regardless of what he says drew him to the conclusion that there is a Higher Power, I can guaran-damn-tee you that being 81 years old and staring down into the six-foot deep hole he'll occupy for Eternity had a good bit to do with it. *chuckle*

Click the link below for the actual Habermas interview (also downloadable as .pdf):

http://www.biola.edu/antonyflew/

For anyone who thinks Flew's move to being a theist is underreported...
I suspect it may not be due to atheistic/materialist bent of most journalists...
it's because of what Flew has to say about Islam, The World Council of Churches,
and communism (see pp 12, 14-16 of the .pdf file).

That, plus Flew's appraisal of St. Paul having a "first-class philosophical mind"
and Christ as a very appealing personage is sufficient for most journalists/editors
to ignore this story!!!

[wizr]

Thanks, and AMEN!

[NYer]

The evidence is there for all who will look!

Bears repeating ...........

Catholic Ping - please freepmail me if you want on/off this list

[weenie]

What astonishing arrogance on the part of this old f@rt. Even when he admits there might be a creator, he still sits in a judgement seat.

How it is that a professor at grand old age is so resistant to the wonderful freedom of humility...well, God and Jesus can deal with that.

[Red Sea Swimmer]

An atheist abandoning atheism is like a man alone in a desert who is dying of thirst giving up his trek towards a mirage in the distance.

[shubi]

Already posted.

The conclusion of the thread is that ID is only a religion and has no scientific validity.

[Cold Heat]

Though eighty-one years old, Flew has not let his thinking fossilize, but has faithfully followed his own dictum to “go where the evidence leads.”

The evidence says he will soon die and he wants to cover the bases.

There are no atheists in fox holes.

[Tribune7]

Though eighty-one years old, Flew has not let his thinking fossilize, but has faithfully followed his own dictum to “go where the evidence leads.”

You have to respect this guy.

[spitlana]

First, he recognized that evolutionary theory has no reasonable explanation for “the first emergence of living from non-living matter”—that is, the origin of life. Second, even if a living cell or primitive animal had somehow assembled itself from non-living chemicals, he reasoned it would have no ability to reproduce.

Why is this rocket science to grasp?? Didn't we "know" this to be true when we were children....before we got doused with major brainwashing by evolutionist teaching? A perfectly intelligent man finally gets it after 81 years.

[Blue Collar Christian]

Kinda comforting to know you'll never see the headline:

"WEIGHING THE EVIDENCE: A CHRISTIAN ABANDONS CHRISTIANITY"

"No one can snatch them out of my Father's hand..."

Mark for later reading.
