We are no longer arguing whether God exists, but what type of God he is. The acknowledgement that there is a god (whatever his attributes) now changes the course of the discussion. <br /><br />And Layman is right in many ways, but at least to this extent: Antony Flew was one of the leading expositors BKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01967809861892681780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363362.post-1102668447153604372004-12-10T00:47:00.000-08:002004-12-10T00:47:00.000-08:00No. What you claimed is "This is rather exciting n...No. What you claimed is "This is rather exciting news.

Flew believes in a higher power, with intelligence and will, who created the universe and at least started life on earth. He believes this God can be known through the fine-tuning in the universe and the complexity of biological life on earth.
