Book review: Does God Exist? The Craig-Flew Debate
Copan, P. 2005.  PSCF 57(2):157-158. CELD ID 20094

Abstract
This fine book is based on an engaging - at times, witty - debate between William Lane Craig, Christian philosopher, and Antony Flew, atheist philosopher. Flew's goal in the debate was not to show that God does not exist: "I [am] going to try to show that there are no sufficient reasons for believing that there is [a God]" (p. 24). In his final response at the end of the book, Flew admits being unable to "offer any substantial evidencing reasons for believing that [Richard] Swinburne's God does not exist, and able only to argue that sufficient evidencing reasons for believing that he does exist have not, and cannot, be produced" (p. 200).
