 Filosof Ateis, 81 th, Sekarang Percaya Adanya Tuhan (Atheist Philosopher,
81, Now Believes in God)

NEW YORK (AP) _
Seorang profesor ahli filsafat Inggris yang pernah menjadi pemuka kampanye
tentang ateisme selama lebih dari setengah-abad telah berubah fikiran, (A
British philosophy professor who has been a leading champion of atheism for
more than a half-century has changed his mind.) Kini dia percaya adanya
Tuhan -- kurang lebih -- di atas dasar bukti-bukti ilmiah, demikian katanya
dalam sebuah video yang disiarkan pada hari Kamis. (He now believes in
God -- more or less -- based on scientific evidence, and says so on a video
released Thursday.)

Pada umur 81 th, setelah berpuluh tahun dengan ketat berpendapat bahwa
kepercayaan itu salah, Antony Flew telah mengahirinya dengan menyatakan
bahwa suatu ragam intelegesi atau suatu sebab permulaan telah menciptakan
alam semesta. (At age 81, after decades of insisting belief is a mistake,
Antony Flew has concluded that some sort of intelligence or first cause must
have created the universe.) Suatu super-intelegensi adalah solusi bagi
penjelasan mengenai asal-usul kehidupan dan peliknya alam, kata Flew dalam
sebuah wawancara per-telefon dari Inggris. (A super-intelligence is the only
good explanation for the origin of life and the complexity of nature, Flew
said in a telephone interview from England.)

Flew mengaku dirinya lebih cocok dijuluki sebagai seorang de-is (seseorang
yang percaya adanya Tuhan tetapi tidak memeluk salah satu agama) seperti
Thomas Jefferson, yang manaTuhannya tidak aktif campurtangan dalam kehidupan
manusia secara umum. (Flew said he's best labeled a deist like Thomas
Jefferson, whose God was not actively involved in people's lives.)

Saya memikirkan seorang Tuhan yang sangat berbeda dari Tuhan kaum Kristiani
dan sangat jauh dari Tuhan kaum Muslimin, sebab kedua jenis kaum itu
menggambarkan Tuhan sebagai seorang despot Timur yang sangat berkuasa,
semacam Saddam Huseins dari Kosmos katanya. Menurut hemat saya Ia bisa
sebagai pribadi dalam konteks sesuatu yang hidup yang memiliki intelegensi
dan berkehendak. (I'm thinking of a God very different from the God of the
Christian and far and away from the God of Islam, because both are depicted
as omnipotent Oriental despots, cosmic Saddam Husseins, he said. It could
be a person in the sense of a being that has intelligence and a purpose, I
suppose.)

Pertama-tama Flew menunjukkan catatannya yang dibuat pada tahun 1950 dalam
sebuah artikel Teologi dan Pemalsuan, yang didasarkan pada sebuah makalah
untuk Club Sokratik, suatu forum religius mingguan di Oxford yang dipimpin
oleh seorang penulis dan pemikir Kristen C.S. Lewis. (Flew first made his
mark with the 1950 article Theology and Falsification, based on a paper
for the Socratic Club, a weekly Oxford religious forum led by writer and
Christian thinker C.S. Lewis.)

Selama bertahun-tahun Flew menyatakan mengenai ketiadaan bukti-bukti adanya
Tuhan dalam kuliah-kuliah dan ceramahnya di universitas-universitas Oxford,
Aberdeen, Keele di Inggris dan juga selama kunjungan-kunjungannya ke
sejumlah kampus di Amerika Serikat dan Kanada, juga dalam buku-bukunya,
artikel-artikelnya, kuliah-kuliahnya serta perdebatan yang pernah
dilakukannya. (Over the years, Flew proclaimed the lack of evidence for God
while teaching at Oxford, Aberdeen, Keele, and Reading universities in
Britain, in visits to numerous U.S. and Canadian campuses and in books,
articles, lectures and debates.)

Selama masa itu tak suatu saatpun ada perubahan kecuali terjadinya suatu
proses penyimpulan secara lamban bertahap selama beberapa bulan terahir pada
diri Flew, seorang lelaki yang berpembawaan ragu yang masih tidak
mempercayai hidup sesudah mati. (There was no one moment of change but a
gradual conclusion over recent months for Flew, a spry man who still does
not believe in an afterlife.)

Sementara itu hasil-hasil penyelidikan para ahli biologi terhadap DNA
(DiriboNeutreAccides) yang telah menunjukkan bahwa untuk menghasilkan
kehidupan sangat dibutuhkan terselenggaranya suatu pengaturan yang pelik
yang hampir-hampir tak terbayangkan, dan hal demikian ini tidak bisa tidak
harus melibatkan intelegensi tersebut, kata Flew dalam sebuah video baru
berjudul Sudahkah Sains Menemukan Tuhan?. (Yet biologists' investigation
of DNA has shown, by the almost

  NEW YORK (AP) _ A British philosophy professor who 
has been a leading champion of atheism for more than a half-century has changed 
his mind. He now believes in God -- more or less -- based on scientific 
evidence, and says so on a video released Thursday.

  At age 81, after decades of insisting belief is a 
mistake, Antony Flew has concluded that some sort of intelligence or first 
cause must have created the universe. A super-intelligence is the only good 
explanation for the origin of life and the complexity of nature, Flew said in a 
telephone interview from England.

  Flew said he's best labeled a deist like Thomas 
Jefferson, whose God was not actively involved in people's lives.

  I'm thinking of a God very different from the God of 
the Christian and far and away from the God of Islam, because both are depicted 
as omnipotent Oriental despots, cosmic Saddam Husseins, he said. It could be 
a person in the sense of a being that has intelligence and a purpose, I 
suppose.

  Flew first made his mark with the 1950 article 
Theology and Falsification, based on a paper for the Socratic Club, a weekly 
Oxford religious forum led by writer and Christian thinker C.S. Lewis.

  Over the years, Flew proclaimed the lack of evidence 
for God while teaching at Oxford, Aberdeen, Keele, and Reading universities in 
Britain, in visits to numerous U.S. and Canadian campuses and in books, 
articles, lectures and debates.

  There was no one moment of change but a gradual 
conclusion over recent months for Flew, a spry man who still does not believe 
in an afterlife.

  Yet biologists' investigation of DNA has shown, by 
the almost unbelievable complexity of the arrangements which are needed to 
produce (life), that intelligence must have been involved, Flew says in the 
new video, Has Science Discovered God?

  The video draws from a New York discussion last May 
organized by author Roy Abraham Varghese's Institute for Metascientific 
Research in Garland, Texas. Participants were Flew; Varghese; Israeli physicist 
Gerald Schroeder, an Orthodox Jew; and Roman Catholic philosopher John Haldane 
of Scotland's University of St. Andrews.

  The first hint of Flew's turn was a letter to the 
August-September issue of Britain's Philosophy Now magazine. It has
