Here was a newsworthy event. Any comments?

NEW YORK 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.

This ranks up there with "Man bites Dog."

Lost another one to DITECH!

Re: Hard to tell

Lemme ask you this, then: Do you personally doubt that a philosophical change from atheism to theism is EVER logical?

Re: Spelling errors

I think he is making a joke of it! I was about to actually correct his spelling since it irritated me. I then realized that he was trying to annoy the spellprudes, of whom I am Chief.
