because thankfully he realized he can have forgiveness. That God loves him. He probably had alto of people praying for him to receive the lord.
ps.,swalker5037..we will see in the end who really is at loss! Ill pray for you. And No, I wasn't churched young. I am a born again Christ follower, Saved from Satanism and the devils destructive clutches. You have a right to your opinion, though its as wrong as your pity for me.. And if flew hasn't changed his view, I will continue to pray for him also. You know in your heart God is real, You just dont want to live by his commands and you want to serve yourself. Go on and do so.. You are serving your own death. But I plan on spending eternity in the kingdom of the Lord serving under Christ Jesus my Lord and Savior.

well, that's more complicated than can be adequately explained here, but a quick synopsis and a link should suffice:
Essentially, Flew, long time supporter and defender of atheism, said that one should presuppose and adopt an atheistic perspective until actual evidence of the existence of god sufraced. However, he claims to have reconsidered this original position in light of certain philosophical and scientific considerations. He says, basically, that his still doesn't believe in an afterlife, and that his god is not like the christian or islamic gods, which he refers to as despotic. Rather, his idea of god is what he calls a "first cause" god. Specifically, he said "My one and only piece of relevant evidence [for an Aristotelian God] is the apparent impossibility of providing a naturalistic theory of the origin from DNA of the first reproducing species ... [In fact] the only reason which I have for beginning to think of believing in a First Cause god is the impossibility of providing a naturalistic account of the origin of the first reproducing organisms."
To me, it sounds like he sold out. Like, you're not gonna become famous for professing atheism without considering things like evolution and the origin of man. Now all of a sudden, after acheiving fame and fortune with one idea, you're going to recant and side with the opposition? something here smells awfully fishy...
edit:
ps. NIKKI, this is for you: AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
you really believe that? oh, you poor thing, they must have gotten the brain-washing machine...I mean, the church...on you really early. I can honestly say, I'm sorry for your loss.

Who the heck is Mr Antony Flew? Maybe he mentally "flew" the coop, saw Jesus, and got scared. How do I know?

Flew is merely rubbing salt into the would-be rational theist's wounds. he takes 2 recommendations from the philosophy of religion (the rational examination of religion) to their logical extremes. I refer to The God of the Gaps and The God of the Philosophers. The God of the Gaps is the belief of God used to 'clarify' any gaps in know-how. If we don't be attentive to how existence began, GoG began it. If we don't be attentive to how the universe began, GoG began it. once you think of approximately it, God has *continually* been GoG - He has continually been the reason of issues we lacked a proof for, and as scientific know-how has grown GoG's explanatory capability has reduced in size yet has no longer yet reduced in size to no longer something. GoP is the belief of God it extremely is still whilst the abstracting physique of recommendations of philosophy has completed its artwork. GoP is the in basic terms *formal* theory of God, the belief of God, it extremely is, with minimum *content textile*. GoP is on the different extreme to the God of the previous testomony - the suspiciously human-like God - the God who has a character and approximately whom a lot may be mentioned, till reason is dropped at undergo upon claims approximately Him. by using fact the entire-blown God the guy is eroded away via rational grievance He turns into much less the God the unthinking believer believes in and ultimately turns into the God in basic terms a logician would desire to love. for that reason GoP and GoG ultimately merge to alter right into a God approximately whom very almost no longer something may be mentioned and whose in basic terms place is to describe the two huge questions technological know-how has no longer yet defined. Flew no longer an atheist? i think it extremely is a count number of definition.

Ask him...how are we supposed to know? I haven't been in his brain for a while. Maybe next time I make a trip there, I'll look for your answer.....
