Atheism/antony flew

Question
hello sir,i would like to know your view about antony flew and  about his believe in a higher intelligent being existence which created everything and his believe in deism.

Answer
Hello again wakas,

Individuals who are known to be atheist and then later claim that there is a god only receive my sympathy, if it's even true.
If Einstein was to have later claimed that in fact little fairies are responsible for relativity it would not change my own basic reasoning on the facts of relativity.
If you search hard enough you can always find some individual who has changed from being an atheist to suddenly believing in the supernatural; this, however, I always find very weak for convincing me that there exists supernatural beings.
I could find a much longer list of people changing from a strong faith to atheism, but I don't think that would convince you either that gods don't exist.
All one can really do is try and get people to questions things and use basic reasoning.
Basic reasoning is faiths biggest enemy.

Regards,

Anka

Expertise

Hello, I'm Anka Nowicki and I can help you if you have doubts about the world of religion. Being European and living in secular France gives me a unique and level-headed outlook towards all religions and faiths. Although I'm not an expert in all religious doctrines I am an expert in rational and logical thinking, which I look forward to sharing with you.

Experience

I have been an atheist since I could rationally and clearly think for myself. I take particular care and time when responding to questions and thoughts about religion and atheism as I understand the need to educate and help people with the confusing aspects of these old faiths. I enjoy the freedom that a secular country can offer and would like to share the benefits of atheism to anybody who is interested in learning more.

Education/Credentials
Although I'm a qualified graphic designer and photographer with distinctions in mathematics, I feel atheism and religion is a very personal choice and one that no amount of study or theory can truly prepare you for the life decisions one makes.
