A review of "There is a God" by Antony Flew

Rocked, were we? Very dramatic language, GDR. I was indifferent. Edited by bluegenes, : Forgot to put text in - the A. Flew syndrome, perhaps.

I certainly knew next to nothing about him until this conversion stuff started. This world's best known atheist stuff is publicity blurb for the book. In fact, I suspect that he gained more notoriety for some controversial political views than he did fame for any of his philosophical views.

Odd to start noticing those things at age 80, don't you think? A philosopher? They are certainly not new and original points.

Observations leading to questions are one thing, baseless conclusions are another. But what's interesting in relation to Flew is that this is old stuff. He could have (indeed must have) considered these points long before he reached the age of 80. I considered them decades ago.So think about it. What changed? Has he grown more brain cells as he got older, with which to consider these points? Or maybe.....not.
