I'm someone who likes to think about the big questions. (Some would say I like to think about the big questions too much.) And to my mind, when you boil things down, there's really only one big metaphysical question: whether or not we in any sense survive our own deaths. Whether or not God exists is really only important insofar as it impacts this primary question.

Nevertheless, the mere existence or nonexistence of God is still worth thinking about, which is why I clicked with interest on the link from Drudge proclaiming 'Famous Atheist Now Believes In God -- Based on Scientific Evidence'. The famous atheist in question is Anthony Flew, and he's no Johnny-come-lately to the world of celebrity philosophizin' -- so for people who care about things like this, this is a pretty big deal.

Flew seems to have signed on to some version of irreducible complexity, arguing that DNA could not possibly have evolved without assistance from something we might call God, whether that entity be a personal god, a deist-style absent deity, or some unconscious metaphysical force that trends towards complexity. (For what it's worth, irreducible complexity is essentially bunk, but c'est la vie.) Flew is quick to add that he doesn't believe in the Christian god, the efficacy of prayer, or the afterlife -- he just thinks there must have been some "Prime Mover" to get this party started.

Internet Infidels has a very good article on Flew's Damascus moment from someone who knows Flew personally, with more links and still more philosophizin'. If this kind of intellectual wheel-spinning interests you as much as it interests me, you'll probably get a kick out of it.
