Default There Is a God

I just picked up a book last night and only have just read the cover and read random bits here and there. It's called There Is a God: How the World's Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind.
I have to see what new evidence has persuaded one of the most prominent philosophers of our time. Anthony Flew was an atheist for more than 60 years. He spent time debating Christian apologists including another ex atheist, CS Lewis.
He isn't a Christian, but more like a Deist, but he has acknowledged that the Christian argument for revealed religion is probably stronger than any other. I agree with that.

I'll let ya know when I finish it what I think. I'm always fascinated by others like myself that have come to the conclusion that there is a God after being very skeptical.

EDIT:

I wanted to include Dawkins' addressing of Flew's conversion, because Dawkins is making false claims about Flew. He claims that ID as it is presented by theists was the main reason, and unfortunately, this not what Flew has said about it specifically. The ID Flew is speaking about is philosophical ID, not biological and Flew knows it. This is something Dawkins struggles with. Perhaps Dawkins is upset because Flew is said to have blamed Dawkins for misleading people. I always chuckle whenever Dawkins brings out chapter 4 though, I shouldn't because many think it's spot on and repeat it.

Blessings
