(for additional background on Antony Flew)

Biola University page on Antony Flew
http://www.biola.edu/antonyflew/

(...and in Flew’s own words)

“My Pilgrimmage From Atheism To Theism”
http://www.biola.edu/antonyflew/flew-interview.pdf

Interesting passages include:

Flew’s viewpoint on Islam, The Bible v. The Koran, and
the intellectual caliber of Saint Paul.
(p.12 of the .pdf)

Flew’s mention that his father (an important person in
The Methodist Church) might have tried to get his denomination
out of The World Council of Churches due to the WCC being
hijacked by Marxists
(bottom of page 14 of .pdf)

Good news..Wonderful to see that man and God has been reconciled again- in this instance, Prof. Flew whose philosophical studies are a delight to read...Much as the mind of Aquinas accepted God from the start, Prof. Flew came to God in a more roundabout way, but he found Home.

Isn’t Deism a heresy in all Christian denominations? Don’t you have to accept Christ as lord and savior?

BIOLA is a very good evangelical Christian college. I know a couple of teachers there. They actually believe the Bible at that college.

Of course many physicists with the highest of reputations do not agree with Einstein in this matter. But an academic attacking some ideological position which s/he believes to be mistaken must of course attack that position in its strongest form. This Dawkins does not do in the case of Einstein and his failure is the crucial index of his insincerity of academic purpose and therefore warrants me in charging him with having become, what he has probably believed to be an impossibility, a secularist bigot.

See what I mean? As I said earlier, "No, but in this case the rock star is dyspeptic, intellectually dishonest, pandering, question-begging, and out of his depth in theology and philosophy of religion, sadly so, given his current position. But then many people have been hired (or elected) to fill positions for which they are incompetent."
