Came across this article about the eminent atheist Antony Flew and thought of this thread. I don't think Antony will be attending any tent revivals, but the article might be of interest to a few who have posted here.
Excerpt from the article:
"A British philosophy professor who has been a leading champion of atheism for more than a half-century has changed his mind. He now believes in God more or less based on scientific evidence, and says so on a video released Thursday.
At age 81, after decades of insisting belief is a mistake, Antony Flew has concluded that some sort of intelligence or first cause must have created the universe. A super-intelligence is the only good explanation for the origin of life and the complexity of nature, Flew said in a telephone interview from England.
Flew said he's best labeled a deist like Thomas Jefferson, whose God was not actively involved in people's lives."

"I'm thinking of a God very different from the God of the Christian and far and away from the God of Islam, because both are depicted as omnipotent Oriental despots, cosmic Saddam Husseins," he said. "It could be a person in the sense of a being that has intelligence and a purpose, I suppose."
It could be purpose in the sense of a being that has intelligence and a person, I suppose???
This reminds me of the Star Trek movie Capt Kirk directed.
Wow, an atheist for 81 years all of a sudden he becomes an expert on God. Good grief.

[QUOTE=JonBoy,Dec 9 2004, 12:01 PM] I would warrant that being an engineer and a Christian gives me a little more insight into both sides of the issue than most people.
By the way, "judgement" is as correct as "judgment" - check a dictionary.

I take it when you were a young god, just growing up, you liked playing with dinosaurs. ME too!!! We have something in common! The tyrannosaurus was killer, I must commend you on that! The only thing is, why did you give him such short arms? Don't dinosaurs like to masturbate too?

If you think that everything operates according to set rules, you've missed just about every engineering mishap in the history of mankind. We always use "best practices", yet somehow we always get failures. While some are attributed to human error, others are purely unexplainable (or go against the principle applied in the first place). Believe me, the rules obviously don't always work.

Herein is a big issue. We only understand so much right now. We have faith that we're right, but by the same token, let's look back 100 years. Many of the "scientific" principles of 100 years ago are baloney today. Why would we expect any different now? Advances in science are a dime a dozen. Why would you believe we've all of a sudden found an "absolute" in science?

I've changed my mind. I'd ask jesus to shut this thread down, and maybe (depending on the mood at the moment) for a blow job.
You have to figure that if this fictional son of god really did exist he would give the second best head in the world.
