This new claim in Michael Ruse’s revised SEP entry on Creationism is incorrect with regard to the nature of Antony Flew’s famous change of mind surely? Flew adopted deism – even those most ‘enthused’ by his late views only claimed he’d ‘returned’ to theism not Christianity.

“Although somewhat dated, Flew and MacIntyre (1955) is still invaluable. Paradoxically, both of these then-atheist authors came to see the light and returned to the Christianity of their childhoods!“

There’s an error there; the SEP entry on Chinese Ethics is listed under “New”, but it’s a revision of the 2008 entry.
