The label "the World's Most Notorious Atheist" is part of the title of Flew's own book, not a claim from right wing world. In the big picture, it's probably accurate. It's true the label is part of the title of Flew's new book. However, it's one that was attached to him by the religionist...

I actually love to stear discussions towards politics and religion. Aha! You're obviously a trouble-maker. :lol: But seriously. I think it always de...

Mad: If 99% of the students who pass through a compulsory science class never use what they've been taught about evolution, wouldn't it be better for them to have spent that time learning something that they will use?
