This essay is about Antony Flew, so we will start with him.

At one point in his life, he was the dominant atheist — a position currently held by Richard Dawkins? I decided to check this, and I found this ranking:

Richard Dawkins is #7 on this list. However, we shouldn’t squabble too much about the power rankings of atheists. By our own admission, there’s no prizes in the afterlife. Indeed, there isn’t even an afterlife at all. But, Antony Flew was a prominent atheist at one point in time. And, at some point, he changed his position.

Did Antony Flew become a Christian? No, he didn’t. But, I have heard that a few times from different people. So, this essay (as all of my essays are) will get to the bottom of this. What did Antony Flew become?

I have lately been constructing arguments against God and the supernatural. I have proven that stuff doesn't exist with science equations. I aspire to be great.
