Sceptics who changed their minds
Antony Flew: an atheist philosopher follows the argument
For decades one of the best-known atheist philosophers, Flew announced in 2004 that he had come to believe in God, largely because of the evidence of design in nature. He did not become a Christian. He explained his change in There Is a God (2007).

His account
Flew said he had always tried to follow the argument wherever it led. He came to believe in a creator God (deism), and remained open to, but not persuaded of, Christianity. We include him because his change was public and because it is often misreported: he did not become a Christian.

20For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.

Where Christians disagree
- Some critics questioned how much of There Is a God (written with Roy Abraham Varghese) was Flew's own work. Flew affirmed that the book expressed his views.

Why the evidence matters
If Jesus rose, His offer is real
God loves you and gave His Son so that whoever believes in Him should not perish.
