"Everything in Christ astonishes me. His spirit overwhelms me, and his will confounds me. Between him and … whoever else in the world … there is no possible comparison. He is truly a being by himself … I search in vain in history to find (anyone) similar to Jesus Christ, or anything which can approach the Gospel. Neither history, nor humanity, nor the ages, nor nature offer me anything with which I am able to compare (him) or explain (him). Here (in Christ) is everything extraordinary."

Antony Flew's There IS a God - the authorship controversy

Antony Flew, God, and the Evidence: A review of There
IS a God By Denyse O'Leary -
On December 9, 2004, an Associated Press
story went out on the wires, "Famous Atheist Now Believes in God: One
of World's Leading Atheists Now Believes in God, More or Less, Based on
Scientific Evidence."
Part One: Antony Flew sought to make the best case for atheism Atheism - An excellent article (offsite)Islam, Muhammad, and the Koran - The Koran is the Muslim's Holy Book-they call it "The Glorious Qur'an" or "Al-Mushaf Al-Shareef." The Koran came almost 600 years after Christ. Many of its contents contradict the Bible, and it records many of the Bible stories with great distortion. It commands the killing of Jews and Christians, permits polygamy, permits the husband to beat his wife, and permits a Muslim man to marry a Christian or Jewish woman, but forbids the Muslim woman to marry a Christian or Jewish man. Many more things are mentioned in this book. Mark 7:24-31 Hyper-Skeptic Questions Mark's Geography A debate between Gary Butner and AOL hyper-skeptic Kornform, M.D. When was Jesus Crucified?

Christianity in America"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religion but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.","Give me liberty or give me death." Patrick Henry of the Constitutional Convention. "Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever." President Thomas Jefferson "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports . . . And let us indulge with caution the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion . . . Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail to the exclusion of religious principle." From President George Washington's Farewell Address "The general principles, on which the Fathers achieved independence, were . . . the general principles of Christianity." John Adams, in a letter to Thomas Jefferson, June 28, 1813, The Adams-Jefferson Letters, ed. Lester J. Cappon (Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina Press, 1959), vol 2, pp. 339-40. "Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers. And it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest, of a Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers." First Chief Justice of Supreme Court John Jay to Jedidiah Morse February 28, 1797 "The American population is entirely Christian, and with us Christianity and Religion are identified. It would be strange indeed, if with such a people, our institutions did not presuppose Christianity, and did not often refer to it, and exhibit relations with it." John Marshall, in a letter to Jasper Adams, May 9, 1833, JSAC, p. 139. Marshall was Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1801-1835.

Creationism, Intelligent Design, Evolution & DarwinismCreation
Ministries International -off site One of the most
comprehensive Creation sites on the Internet. Flat Earth Theory: A Defense of Science By Roddy Bullock, JD, BSME It's a fact, the earth is flat. At least as a scientific matter. I know this because I'm a scientist who's been taught all my life nothing but earth flatness, it appears to me that the earth is flat, and, quite honestly, I like the idea of a flat earth (the implications of a round earth concern me). But more importantly, the overwhelming majority of scientists no longer question whether the earth is flat and I know that presupposing a flat earth in science establishes a powerful unifying principle (something of a rule one might say), ordering all the various concepts just so. As a scientist, I find that nothing in earth science makes sense except in the light of flatness. Charles Darwin, The Last Icon of Evolution? By Roddy Bullock, JD, BSME What would happen if teachers in a public school classroom notified students of a book in the school library that offered scientific challenges to Darwin's theory of evolution? Call it The Book, and assume it gave a fair portrayal of evolution by natural selection but, in addition to clearly outlining Darwin's thoughts on the matter, also identified specific challenges to Darwinism. What if The Book raised the prospect of gaps in evolutionary theory for which there is no evidence? Even worse, what if The Book contrasted the ideas of Darwinism with that of creationists, clearly focusing on the diametrically opposite religious implications of the evidence? Would such notification by teachers be legal in the United States? Darwinism: Bumbleology with a Fake ID By Roddy Bullock, JD, BSME Q: How many materialists does it take to change a light bulb? No joke. Light from darkness, life from non-life, mind from matter; it's all a mere marvel of matter in motion. Never mind where matter came from, and no matter where mind came from, for matter-only materialists everything that is came unplanned from everything that was in a string of unguided eternal change...Who would have thought? Darwinism: Mountain of Evidence, Valley of Death By Roddy Bullock, JD, BSME Dogmatic Darwinists: The Captain Ahabs of Science By Roddy Bullock, Esq. Richard Dawkins, Hyper-skeptic This speech is bone-chilling. In it, Dawkins crossed over the line between science and religion. He claims he doesn't, but he does it time and time and time and time again. He even does so according to the atheistic "Philosophy of Religion" school, which states that Science deals with "How" and "When" questions of life, while Religion deals with the "Why," "By Whom," and "For Whom" questions. The Myth of the Flat Earth By Jeffrey Burton Russell, Ph.D. Hyper-skeptics routinely label Christians flat-earthers. It might surprise you to know who created the label. Offsite "Evolution, Fact or Faith?" By Dr. Jim Anderson. Where IS all that EVIDENCE?

first appeared, its substance was
overshadowed by a controversy over whether Flew really
wrote it. The implication, drawn out at length by Mark Oppenheimer in The New
York Times, was that Flew was senile and was being manipulated by zealous
Christians.
