Tim writes about Anthony Flew:

It likely a must read by atheists to try to understand how one of the foremost atheists on the planet could recant atheism.
Hold your horses there, Tim. Flew doesn't believe in god the same way you do. He's pretty much a Deist in conceptualization: God got it started and then abandoned creation. As he said:
"I'm quite happy to believe in an inoffensive inactive god".
Flew rejects god as a source of either evil or good, claims there is no afterlife, rejects the "fine tuning" claim of creationists, and has actually recanted his recantation:
"I now realize that I have made a fool of myself by believing that there were no presentable theories of the development of inanimate matter up to the first living creature capable of reproduction."
He's not exactly the paragon of theism you make him out to be.
