Antony Flew Quotes

• Ahora creo que el universo fue creado por una Inteligencia infinita. Creo que las intrincadas leyes de este universo manifiestan lo que los científicos han llamado la Mente de Dios. Creo que la vida y la reproducción tienen su origen en una Fuente divina. ¿Por qué creo esto, dado que expuse y defendí el ateísmo durante más de medio siglo? La respuesta breve es la siguiente: esta es la imagen del mundo, tal como yo la veo, que ha surgido de la ciencia moderna.

• I now believe there is a God...I now think it [the evidence] does point to a creative Intelligence almost entirely because of the DNA investigations. What I think the DNA material has done is that it has shown, by the almost unbelievable complexity of the arrangements which which are needed to produce life, that intelligence must have been involved in getting these extraordinarily diverse elements to work together.

• Science spotlights three dimensions of nature that point to God. The first is the fact that nature obeys laws. The second is the dimension of life, of intelligently organized and purpose-driven beings, which arose from matter. The third is the very existence of nature. But it is not science alone that has guided me. I have also been helped by a renewed study of the classical philosophical arguments.

• I'm thinking of a God very different from the God of the Christian and far and away from the God of Islam, because both are depicted as omnipotent Oriental despots, cosmic Saddam Husseins.

• Someone tells us that God loves us as a father loves his children. We are reassured. But then something awful happens. Some qualification is made.... We are reassured again. But then perhaps we ask: what is this assurance of God's (appropriately qualified) love worth, what is this apparent guarantee really a guarantee against? Just what would have to happen not merely (morally and wrongly) to tempt but also (logically and rightly) to entitle us to say "God does not love us" or even "God does not exist"?

• Si queremos establecer que Dios existe, debemos tener buenas razones para creer que es así. Hasta que no se presenten tales motivos, no tendremos razón alguna para creer, y en esa situación la única postura razonable será la del ateo negativo o la del agnóstico. Así pues, la carga de la prueba debe recaer sobre la proposición del teísmo.

• Although I was once sharply critical of the argument to design, I have since come to see that, when correctly formatted, this argument constitutes a persuasive case for the existence of God.

• I am open to [the notion of theistic revelation], but not enthusiastic about potential revelation from God. On the positive side, for example, I am very much impressed with physicist Gerald Schroeder's comments on Genesis 1. That this biblical account might be scientifically accurate raises the possibility that it is revelation.

• My one and only piece of relevant evidence [for an Aristotelian God] is the apparent impossibility of providing a naturalistic theory of the origin from DNA of the first reproducing species ... [In fact] the only reason which I have for beginning to think of believing in a First Cause god is the impossibility of providing a naturalistic account of the origin of the first reproducing organisms.

• En el sentido corriente y cotidiano de las palabras, decir que alguien ha sobrevivido a la muerte es contradecirse a sí mismo, mientras que afirmar que todos vivimos eternamente es afirmar una falsedad manifiesta, lo contrario de una verdad universalmente conocida: la verdad de que todos los seres humanos son mortales. Porque cuando, tras una catástrofe, se han enumerado tanto los "muertos" como los "supervivientes", ¿qué espacio lógico queda para una tercera categoría?

• Pascal no intenta en este famosísimo argumento demostrar que su catolicismo romano es verdadero o probablemente verdadero. Las razones que sugiere para hacer la apuesta recomendada por su fe particular son razones en el sentido de motivos más que razones en el sentido de fundamentos. Concediendo, aunque sólo sea por el bien del presente argumento, que aquí no podemos tener conocimiento, Pascal trata de justificar como prudente una política de autopersuasión sistemática, en lugar de proporcionar fundamentos para pensar que las creencias recomendadas son realmente verdaderas.

• Por muy lejos que podamos remontarnos en la historia interna -por así decirlo- del Universo, no se puede argumentar que tal o cual origen externo sea probable o improbable. No tenemos, y necesariamente no podríamos tener, experiencia de otros Universos para decirnos que los Universos, o los Universos con estas características particulares, son obra de Dioses, o de Dioses de este o aquel tipo particular.
