Again another great quote from Apologetics 315. This time from philosopher Anthony Flew.
“The evidence for the resurrection is better than for claimed miracles in any other religion. It's outstandingly different in quality and quantity.”
- Antony Flew
Why is this important? Anthony Flew is one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century and until very recently was an avowed atheist. He changed his mind and has become a theist in his old age because of the evidence of science coming to light during the recent decades. He has not become a Christian but he agrees that there is a God who created the universe he just doesn't believe the Bible or the Koran correctly describes this deity. I disagree with his conclusion about Christianity, but at least Flew also recognizes that the resurrection has good evidence although he rejects it because of the implications implied by Jesus' resurrection if it were true. This change is a major one. The man has for decades said and taught that there was no good evidence for God and now realizes that he wrong. Hopefully he'll come the whole way to becoming a Christian before he dies.
