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

... although for some reason atheists didn't notice this ... ... who none of us had ever heard of ...BTW, I didn't realize there was a ranking system for atheists. Looking at the daft arguments he comes up with for theism, I find it hard to believe that he was ever the "world's leading" anything. ... without atheists knowing who the heck he was.I certainly had never heard of the man until he became a poster boy for theists.---Incidentally, if he was "the world's leading atheist", who is now in the number one spot? Or won't you know until the next obscure nonentity gets religion?Oh, and if this is "one of the most important defections", who are all the others? You have names, perhaps? How did they rank?

I didn't say that no-one had ever heard of him, nor did I deny that some people have grossly overestimated his importance, because obviously they have.Did you know that he was "the world's top atheist" before he started letting fundies write his books for him?I notice that you haven't said who's now in the number one spot. Apparently this can only be determined retrospectively.
