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 Dame--American Spectator
