I do not believe this re-cantation. It is a restatement of an old position and DOES NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUES in last week's story.
Last week's story dealt with the origin of life and *not* with the big bang.
Flew is not that shoddy!
Yesterday's Rationalist International posting of Flew's response refers to Flew's letter of October 19, 2004 (about two months ago). I'll have to check again, but I think that the recent stories about Flew's rejection of atheism are based on that letter. I'll check after I post this.
