Does God Exist?

Of course, I know you know how I would answer that question, but it remains a topic of debate amongst philosophers and intellectual elites. Atheism is very in these days with a number of books being written and prominent atheists being hailed for their wisdom and their boldness in rejecting theism. Of course you don't hear much about Anthony Flew, once the darling of those promoting the "truth" of atheism:

Now, in his early eighties, Flew has rejected atheism and said he believes that God exists. He does not espouse the Christian God, but calls himself a Deist. He says he has a lifelong commitment to following the evidence where it leads, and that new advances in the sciences have shown him that materialism and Darwinism simply cannot account for the world as it is and life as it is. Examining the fine-tuning of the universe and the mind-boggling complexity of the cell (a complexity that evolution presumes but cannot explain), Flew now believes that the design of the universe requires a designer. He gives his reasons in a new book There Is a God which is co-authored with Roy Abraham Varghese.
