Over six years ago, in “‘Life from non-life’? Without a prayer,” when I had reason to mention the late eminent British atheist-turned-deist philosopher Antony Flew, I couldn’t help adding “not to be confused with Anthony Flood.” Today, searching for my eBooklet Atheism Analysed: The Implosion of George Smith’s “Case against God,” I see that Google’s AI has this to say:
Anthony G. Flood is a contemporary philosopher who has written on atheism, analyzing arguments against it, such as his eBook Atheism Analyzed: The Implosion of George Smith’s “Case against God.” His work explores topics such as the nature of knowledge, the role of apologetics, and the limits of atheistic reasoning, often with a Christian philosophical perspective. He is not to be confused with the late philosopher Antony Flew, who converted from atheism to deism later in life.
AI thinks it no joke to note the distinction. I’m also not to be confused with the Catholic professor of philosophy Anthony T. Flood, which possible confusion I understand is for him a live issue.
