World renowned professor of philosophy, Antony Flew, who became a believer in God 6 years ago despite a career arguing against the existence of the supernatural, died last week aged 87. Antony Flew's change of mind is a testament to the strength of the arguments for an Intelligent Creator of the universe - it is just sad that Professor Flew was never liberated from his flawed religious epistemology and was unable to accept that this Intelligent Creator interacts with the world to reveal Himself and His message to us.
Some atheists nuts say that he changed his mind because of his decreasing mental capacities due to aging and other possible neurological/psychiatric disorders. How can we counter that?
I don't know why he got such a bad rep after the change. I even heard some accuse him of faking it to sell more. Lol. I guess it's because the God he accepted is exactly the type of God he was arguing against in his famous Falsification paper so it seems a little weird but it isn;t that much of a stretch when an atheist moves into a sort of deism.

There's a good video of him discussing his "conversion" and his interaction with New Testament scholars about the historicity of the Resurrection from 2008 (about 6 years after his change of beliefs) where he addresses these claims - and I think it is pretty obvious that he had not gone senile.
