There is A God - Antony Flew

In his book, Is Atheism Dead? , Eric Metaxas frequently references Antony Flew and his book, There is a God. The two had come to much the same conclusion regarding the existence of God, although Flew was less inclined to accept Christianity. Both men had followed the evidence, but Flew did not believe that there was evidence of Christ's divinity.

Flew had been known as a strong advocate of atheism. He shocked his fellow atheists in 2004 when he changed his position regarding the existence of an Intelligent Creator of the universe.

In their books, Metaxas and Flew present compelling evidence for a Creator......a source of creative intelligence, if you will, but the evidence could just as easily lead one to Judaism, Islam or Christianity, not to mention a Creator who has not given humanity any sort of divine revelation. (The book is even available at a website called http://islamicblessings.com). In spite of his not embracing Christianity, he did include an appendix written by theologian and Anglican bishop N.T. Wright which Flew said was the best evidence he had seen regarding the divinity of Jesus.
