The interview with Flew is also available at the following Christian University website: http://www.biola.edu/antonyflew/ This is also apparently not a new story, but has been discussed for some time. See ... http://atheism.about.com/b/a/119216.htm I haven't had a chance to read the Flew interview yet to see whether it supports the characterization by advocates for religion, or represents a willingness to speculate. The battle between belief and non-belief will not be decided on the basis of who changes their minds (although that will determine the final break-down of society), and if Flew did indeed change his mind because of science, it would be important to remember that Flew is not a scientist. It might be more of a story if Flew claimed to have philosophical reasons for belief in some form of god.
