Well, good for him. But I believe he will still have to answer for all the people he purposefully directed towards atheism.
It says somewhere in the Bible that God will reveal himself more and more as time goes by...with the discovery of DNA and Intelligent Design...the information has always been there, but we are just at the tip of the iceberg in discovering it.
Blessed are those that have not seen and still believe...I keep thinking that in our technology age, our faith (or lack of it) requires us to have so many physical evidences of God's existance.
For later reading
"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."
On the issue of how life first sprung from non-life, the author's lack of imagination leads him into believing that this serves as evidence for intelligent design. For example, clay is an interesting substance. After having it's shape modified, it reforms to it's original shape. There are analogies to this on the macro-molecular scale.
On the second point, his argument smacks of reductionism. Let us stipulate that non-living chemicals cannot reproduce. Even so, how does this mean that cells can not reproduce, simply because it's constituent parts cannot?
Which means all of the witty observations (like "old atheists get religion chuckle chuckle") are crap.
Regarding G-d, there is no evidence, only faith and conjecture. On this earth, that is all anyone has regarding the question of G-d.
C.S. Lewis was without a doubt the most influential Christian thinker and apologist of the 20th Century.
LOL. Which is no acknowledgement at all. His god has short little arms
Why are old people always reading the Bible?
Cramming for finals.
It is remarkable, the similarity of this expression, to C.S. Lewis' repeated reference to God as the 'Cosmic Sadist', in his A Grief Observed, for profoundly sad reasons my favorite Lewis book.
"Flew has, thus, become a Deist—that is, he acknowledges God as creator but not as a personal deity."
But belief in Him is still refused?
How strange.
