Description
In one of the biggest religion news stories of the new millennium, the Associated Press announced that Professor Antony Flew, the world's leading atheist, now believes in God.
Flew is a pioneer for modern atheism. His famous paper, Theology and Falsification, was first presented at a meeting of the Oxford Socratic Club chaired by C. S. Lewis and went on to become the most widely reprinted philosophical publication of the last five decades. Flew earned his fame by arguing that one should presuppose atheism until evidence of a God surfaces. He now believes that such evidence exists, and There Is a God chronicles his journey from staunch atheism to believer.
For the first time, this book will present a detailed and fascinating account of Flew's riveting decision to revoke his previous beliefs and argue for the existence of God. Ever since Flew's announcement, there has been great debate among atheists and believers alike about what exactly this "conversion" means. There Is a God will finally put this debate to rest.
This is a story of a brilliant mind and reasoned thinker, and where his lifelong intellectual pursuit eventually led him: belief in God as designer.
The origin of modern atheism can be traced to philosopher Antony Flew and his groundbreaking paper “Theology and Falsification,” the most widely reprinted philosophical publication of the last five decades. Flew based his highly acclaimed academic career on publicly debunking the existence of God. But now the renowned philosopher has officially joined the other side.
Throughout his career, Flew has argued that one should presuppose atheism until evidence of a God surfaces. He now believes that such evidence exists. In There Is a God, Flew discusses the philosophical and scientific findings that turned him from a staunch atheist into a believer–providing a riveting analysis of the influential arguments of such luminaries as Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawking, Bertrand Russell, Richard Dawkins, and Francis Collins–and he comments on such issues as evolution, intelligent design, creationism, science and faith, and the role of religion in our world today. This book will forever change the debate about the existence of God. “Antony Flew not only has the philosophical virtues; he has the virtues of the philosopher. Civil in argument, relentlessly reasonable, his lifelong quest for truth was implicitly a quest for the Guarantor of all truth. It is only fitting that this has been made explicit at last.”—Ralph McInerny, Professor of Philosophy, University of Notre DameYou may also like
