After glancing at the comments on this thread, I'm wondering whether some of the commenters read the entire New York Times Magazine article on Antony Flew. The last few paragraphs indicate quite clearly that Flew is in a fairly advanced stage of mental decline (he's now 84 years old). The book recently published in his name was not written by him, and not only is he not conversant with the arguments of the authors mentioned in the book, he scarcely recognizes their names.

The reputation of this elderly English gentleman is being abused by younger men with ideological agendas. Not a pretty sight.

Yes, if you read the entire article one has a hard time denying that Flew is impaired. The issue is so emotional most of what is spoken of as “thinking” is actually “emoting.”
