An article by Melanie Phillips appeared in the online Spectator (UK), on 23 Oct 2008. She wrote about the debate between Richard Dawkins and John Lennox at the Oxford Natural History Museum. Dawkins has published his book, The God Delusion, in what has become his militant atheist style, and John Lennox, who is also a professor at Oxford, critqued that book in his own publication entitled God’s Undertaker:Has Science Buried God?  Lennox is an atheist turned theist, as is his famous counterpart, Anthony Flew, who also criticized Dawkins’ erstwhile encursion into theology. Flew is also mentioned in the article.

It seems that recently Dawkins has, to some degree, backpeddled in his thinking about the existence of God and purpose in the universe, admitting to the possibility of deism or an extra terrestrial origin of life. Dawkins was incredulous when he learned that the Natural History Museum in which the debate was held, was built for the glorification of God through science, by those who saw the study of Zoology, Geology, etc. as a means to further Man’s appreciation of the wonderful creation of its Creator.
