ANTHONY FLEW
The Associated Press has a story on the world-renown Atheist who says that based on scientific evidence he now believes in the existence of a God. His understanding of God is very similar to that of the famous American deist 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."

Dan Clendenin did a piece on Flew last April and noted, "Flew believes in evolution but thinks it cannot account for the ultimate origins of life. His ideas, he says, bear some similarity to the Intelligent Design movement."
