The Case of Antony Flew
"Three domains of scientific inquiry have been especially important for me… How did the laws of nature come to be? How did life originate from non-life? How did the universe come into existence?"

1. The Laws & Complexity of Life
Could life have gone from simple to complex w/o an intelligent designer?
* We watched clips from the film "Unlocking the mystery of life"
* Fine-tuning argument for creationism
* Knowing the odds of a world like ours coming to exist w/o an intelligent designer, many atheistic philosophers have resorted to a belief in the 'multiverse' (a completely unobservable existence of an incredible amount of parallel universes)

2. The Origin of Life
Could life have come from non-life w/o an intelligent designer?
* We watched clips from the film "Unlocking the mystery of life"
* If SETE (search for extra terrestrial existence) would interpret a pattern as a sign of intelligence, why not recognize the pattern and organization within each human cell as evidence for a Creator?

3. The Origin of Matter
Could something have come from nothing w/o an intelligent designer?
* Atheistic philosophers had previously believed in an eternal universe, until the Big Bang
* I'd much rather believe a Being existed forever than that matter has existed eternally
