Antony
Flew, former English philosophy professor and champion of atheism for almost a half a century, changed his mind and became a deist at the age of 81. In a
telephone interview with ABC News, Flew indicated that a “super-intelligence is
the only good explanation for the origin of life and the complexity of
nature.”² On the other hand, religious leaders have proposed for centuries that gods or beings of higher intelligence are responsible for life. But are they right? What is it about the origin of life that has so confounded scientists
and persuaded atheists to become deists or theists? Why is the origin of life
considered one of the great, unsolved mysteries of science?
