In this video I want to look at how the world's leading philosopher changed his mind about God.

Professor Anthony Flew is an English philosopher most notable for his work related to the philosophy of religion.

During the course of his career he taught at the universities of Oxford, Aberdeen, Keele and Reading and at York University in Toronto.

For much of his career Anthony Flew was known as a strong advocate of atheism arguing

that one should presuppose atheism until empirical evidence of a god surfaces he also criticized the idea of life after death,

the free will defense to the problem of evil

and the meaningfulness of the concept of god however in 2004 he changed his position he changed his mind

and stated that he now believed in the existence of an intelligent creator of the universe shocking his colleagues

and fellow atheists in order to further clarify his personal concept

of god Anthony Flew openly made an allegiance to deism more specifically a belief in the aristotelian god

which he will define in his book in a second and dismissed on many occasions any call to convert to Christianity,

Islam or any other religion he stated

that in keeping with his lifelong commitment to go wherever the evidence leads he now believed in the existence of a God.

I just want to quote some passages from his last book

there is no God where the N has been crossed off

there is a God how the world's most notorious atheist changed his mind by

Anthony Flew and I've read all this book

and I want to quote some of the juicier passages from

it in chapter 4 entitled a pilgrimage of reason he writes let us begin with a parable imagine

that a satellite phone is washed ashore on a remote island inhabited by a tribe

that has never had contact with modern civilization the natives play with the numbers on the dial pad

and hear different voices upon hitting certain sequences they assume first

that it's the device that makes these noises some of the cleverer natives, the scientists of the tribe, assemble an exact replica

and hit the numbers again they hear the voices again the conclusion seems obvious to them this particular

combination of crystals and metals and chemicals produce what seems like human voices

and this means that the voices are simply properties of the device.

But the tribal sage by sage flu probably means a philosopher a tribal sage summons the scientists for a discussion.

He has thought long and hard on the matter and has reached the following conclusion.

the voices coming through the instrument must be coming from people like themselves,

people who are living and conscious although speaking in a different language.

Instead of assuming that the voices are simply properties of the handset,

they should investigate the possibility that through some mysterious communication network they are in touch with other humans.

Perhaps further study along these lines could lead to a greater understanding of the world beyond their island.

But the scientists simply laugh at the sage and say look

when we damage the instrument the voices stop coming

so they're obviously nothing more than sounds produced by a unique combination of lithium and printed circuit boards and light emissing diadodes.

end of parable in this parable we see how easy it

is to let preconceived theories shape the way we view evidence instead of letting the evidence shape our theories.

A Copernican leap may thus be prevented by a thousand Ptolemaic epicycles.

Defenders of Ptolemy's geocentric model of the solar system resisted Copernicus's

heliocentric model by using the concept of epicycles to explain away observations of planetary motion that conflicted with their model.

And in this, it seems to me, lies the peculiar danger, the endemic evil of dogmatic atheism.

Remember, Flew was himself a dogmatic atheist.

Take such utterances as, quote, we should not ask for an explanation of how it is

that the world exists it is here and that's all

or since we cannot accept a transcendent source of life we choose to believe the impossible

that life arose spontaneously by chance for matter

or the laws of physics are lawless laws

that arise from the void end of discussion these quotes look at first sight like rational arguments

that have a special authority because they have a no-nonsense air about them.

Of course this is no more sign that they are either rational or arguments.

And then the next quote.

As for my new position on the classical philosophical debates about God,

In this area I was persuaded above all by the philosopher

David Conway's argument for God's existence in his book The Recovery of Wisdom from Here to Antiquity in Quest of Sophia.

Conway is a distinguished British philosopher at Middlesex University who is equally at home with classical and modern philosophy.

The God whose existence is defended by Conway and myself, writes Flew, is the god of Aristotle.

Conway writes in sum to the being as a capital B

in being to the being whom he considered to be the explanation of the world

and its broad form Aristotle ascribed the following attributes immutability immateriality omnipotence omniscience oneness or indivisibility

perfect goodness and necessary existence.

There is an impressive correspondence between this set of attributes and those traditionally ascribed to God within the Judeo-Christian tradition.

It is one

that fully justifies us in viewing Aristotle as having had the

same divine being in mind as the cause of the world

that is the object of worship of these two religions." For some reason Flew doesn't even think about Islam

but obviously this applies to Islam as well.

So that clarifies his own Flew's own concept of God that he embraced after leaving atheism.

And now some of the reasons, the scientific reasons, why he began to embrace theism or belief in God.

And he quotes Paul Davis the famous astrophysicist.

Paul Davis highlights the same problem he writes he observes that most theories of biogenesis

biogenesis is the idea of life just coming about apparently out

of nowhere most theories of biogenesis have concentrated on the chemistry of life

but life is more than just complex chemical reactions the cell also is an information storing processing

and replicating system we need to explain the origin of this system of this information

and the way in which the information processing machinery came to exist.

He emphasizes the fact that the gene is nothing but a set of coded instructions with a precise recipe for manufacturing proteins.

Most important these genetic instructions are not the kind of information you find in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics,

rather they constitute semantic information, in other words they have a specific meaning.

These instructions can be effective only in a molecular environment capable of interpreting the meaning in the genetic code.

The origin question of biogenesis rises to the top at this point.

The problem of how meaningful

or semantic information can emerge spontaneously from a collection of mindless molecules subject to blind

and purposeless forces presents a deep conceptual challenge.

Here's the end of that quote.

So you can see some of the reasons why flu in the light of modern science abandoned atheism.

And the last quote here because there are so many is again to do with the origin of life.

So how do we account for the origin of life?

Professor Flew asks.

The Nobel Prize winning physiologist George Wilde once famously argued that we choose to believe the impossible,

that life arose spontaneously by chance.

Now of course this what flu himself believe this is what

atheists believe this Nürburgring prize-winning scientist says in later years however he concluded

that a pre-existing mind which he posits as the matrix of physical reality composed the physical universe

that breeds life then he quotes the Nobel Prize winning professor who says as follows how is it

that with so many other apparent options we are in a universe that possesses just that peculiar nexus or properties

that breeds life? it has occurred to me lately, I must confess with some shock at first to my scientific sensibilities,

that both questions might be brought into some degree of congruence this is with the assumption

that mind rather than emerging as a late outgrowth in the

100

evolution of life has existed always as the matrix the source

101

and condition of physical reality that the stuff of

102

which physical reality is constructed is mind stuff it is mind

103

that has composed a physical universe that breeds life

104

so eventually evolves creatures that know

105

and create science art technology making creatures that's the end quote there and And then Flew says,

106

this too is my conclusion.

107

The only satisfactory explanation for the origin of such end directing,

108

self replicating life as we see on Earth is an infinitely intelligent mind with a capital M.

109

And of course, we call that mind God. So there we go.

110

That's the book.

111

is very interesting his arguments are based he says his whole

112

position has not really changed he only goes where the evidence leads

113

so he says

114

that in his earlier career he didn't see any good evidence for the existence of god he says

115

but now with the advent of discovery of dna

116

and the role of genes and producing proteins

117

and this uh the semantic nature of of genes requiring a meaningful understanding of the whole process of producing genes

118

and life this goes way beyond atheism and this suggests intelligence it suggests mind

119

and thus it suggests god not just the DNA

120

but a whole host of other scientific discoveries lead professor Flew to abandon atheism

121

and embrace this belief in god

122

so i think this is a great story a great story of a man who had the courage to admit

123

that he was wrong here's a man who was the world's

124

most notorious atheist he spent decades arguing against believers in god

125

ridiculing their beliefs refuting them philosophically he came to believe

126

that was wrong in fact god does exist

127

because the evidence he says led him to believe that

128

so there we go that's the the story of how the world's most notorious atheist changed his mind

129

and to my knowledge he never actually converted to any other

130

religion i think he was warming towards the christian faith given his own cultural background

131

but i don't think he ever converted to any other religion

132

and let's hope let's pray that he is he found a merciful god who accepted him into paradise till next time
