Anthony Flew, stalwart British atheist, has become a theist at age 81. The ontological and moral arguments don't really do it for him (although he does have fond rememberances of CS Lewis at Oxford), but teleological arguments have caught his attention in his autumn years. He still denies any sort of revelatory religion, preferring an Aristotelian conception of God. CS Lewis was the same way, for a time. Here's a link to a great discussion between Flew and Gary Habermas, a professor at Liberty University. They've sparred over religion through the past 20 years, but remained fast friends. There's a novel idea.
Speaking of teleological arguments, I came across this passage from John Donne tonight:
A Leviathan, a Whale, from a grain of Spawn; an Oke from a buried Akehorn, is a great; but a great world from nothing, is a strange improvement.
