Does God Exist?: A Believer and an Atheist Debate [Paperback]

Terry L. Miethe (Author), Antony Flew (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1991

The perpetual philosophical question regarding the existence of God is debated by evangelical Terry Miethe and atheist Antony Flew in this book. God's existence is questioned by every generation in a variety of religious and secular contexts. Every college student in the country has at one time or another sat up late into the night debating the issue with friends and religious persons often look for evidence of the existence of God to use in discussions with non-religious friends. This book examines the popular philosophy surrounding this theory and includes discussions by theologians such as Sir Alfred Ayer, Richard Swinburne and Herman Haring.

This review is from: Does God Exist?: A Believer and an Atheist Debate (Paperback)

Two English heavyweights sqaure off in the ring to debate that age old question of God's existence. Flew throughout dodges the argument which Meithe presents: the analogy of being. All Flew really does, Meithe catches him on it: "Flew has simply made a statement here." pg. 162. Flew's continuing discussion about the many different notions of God is irrelevant to this debate as Meithe scolds him. Typical is the irritation that continues in never truly debating what Meithe puts forward, i.e. that God is the "merciful Creator and Sustainer of all that exists." Fascinating appendices by Ayer, Swinburne and Kung. A good read!
