I just got my copy of There Is A God by Antony Flew. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Flew he was a popular and prolific philosopher and author (e.g. God and Philosophy, The Presumption of Atheism and How to Think Straight). For years he contended that there was NO God and now he has changed his mind. His claim is to deism, which is still steps away from Christian theism, but it is still refreshing to read from a great man who changed his mind and has the guts to say it. Below are a couple good quotes I've read so far.
"we still have to come to terms with the origin of the laws of nature. And the only viable explanation here is the divine Mind." There Is A God, pg. 121 Antony Flew
"the laws of nature, life with its teleological organization, and the existence of the universe--can only be explained in the light of an Intelligence that explains both its own existence and that of the world. Such a discovery of the Divine does not come through experiments and equations" There Is A God, pg. 155 Antony Flew
