I'm not religious in any conventional sense, but I have a writer's awe of spiritual immanence, and find most of the God I need in great art. I would certainly never call myself an atheist; to do so would be every bit as dogmatic and arrogant as asserting beyond doubt the veracity of Christian doctrine. I found it interesting, then, to learn that one of the most prominent atheist philosophers in the public forum, Antony Flew, decided, after a lifetime of aggressive Hitchensesquedenial of the divine, that there probably is a God after all. This happened a few years ago, but he never recanted his recantation.

Now, at 87, Dr. Flew has embarkedon his journey to The Great Perhaps.

Godspeed, Dr.Flew.
