Atheism and Science

AA half-century ago, in 1955, Professor Antony Flew set the agenda for modern atheism with his Theology and Falsification, a paper presented in a debate with C.S. Lewis. This work became the most widely reprinted philosophical publication of the last 50 years. Over the decades, he published more than 30 books attacking belief in God and debated a wide range of religious believers. Then, in a 2004 Summit at New York University, Professor Flew announced that the discoveries of modern science have led him to the conclusion that the universe is indeed the creation of infinite Intelligence. Below is the argument that persuaded Flew:

I recommend his book "There Is a God: How the World's Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind" which I blogged about here http://divreichaim.blogspot.com/2009/06/antony-flew-on-rational-theology.html

"They" also "lost" A.N. Wilson, noted biographer and intellectual who lent standing and relevance to Atheism as more than another faith conviction;

The news about Antony Flew is actually several important years old - because over that time, the same perspectives that had taken Flew were vehemently condemned and banned by Charedi leaders, as is well-known and itself no longer news - but still in "effect".

I also highly recommend two books by Roy Abraham Varghese, the man who "converted" Flew: Cosmos, Bios, Theos (which contains a back-and-forth with Flew), and more recently, The Wonder of the World.
