Anthony Flew died at age 87 on April 8. He was a hardcore atheist until 2004, when he said that he was a generic theist, probably due to design arguments. When asked by Gary Habermas if he is open to the idea of God actually revealing himself, he said “Yes. I am open to it, but not enthusiastic about potential revelation from God.” (I doubt God is enthusiastic about Flew’s unenthusiastism.) Flew is but one of many examples of the failure of classical Christian apologetics, which tries to convince the unbeliever bit by bit, piece by piece, to give up their suppression of truth and slowly accept their Triune Creator.
