The very existence of matter and its conservation is empirical proof that there is a God - which Flew is conceding.

Matter is lost everytime you light a fire, turn on your stove, drive your car, post to the internet.

Yes it's transformed into energy, it does not disappear. Surely you are aware of the law of conservation of matter?

Surely you are aware of the law of conservation of matter?

It is the law of conservation of matter AND ENERGY.

The story may be apochryphal. If true I can't recall the guys name or there may have been more than one. To me it makes sense.

I once read of a statement by a WWII U-Boat captain who said it was interesting to see the most calloused of the young atheists come aboard. It was interesting to watch them when the depth charging began as these young atheists would hit their knees and find the Lord.

One of the most powerful and comforting aspects of our Universe is it's amazing self consistency and the absolute nature of mathematics to describe it's workings. These facts alone are powerful statements regarding the nature of That Which Made Everything. The indelible consistency of the universe speaks volumes about the nature of that which made Nature. To accept that the universe just Is, and has no Creator, is unacceptable.

There was no one moment of change but a gradual conclusion over recent months for Flew, a spry man who still does not believe in an afterlife.

It will be fun to see what people who believe this say in the afterlife. Not that I'm in any rush to find out, but it will be interesting!

Foxhole convert?

Given the gentleman's age, that would be a fair presumption, now wouldn't it?

I agree....I realize that some of you would not consider yourself a "born again" Christian....but this guy saying he believes in some sort of God, but not the Christian God is just not good enough....when he gets to look Jesus Christ in the eye and say well, I believed in your father, but not you....it's not gonna work...thats not good enough, the Bible says even Satan believes in God..doesn't mean Satan is gonna be walking the streets of heaven someday....
