Finally, this guy was "impressed" by Intelligent Design, which fortifies my feeling that, despite the credentials listed throughout, he's not much of a scholar/ thinker/ philosopher, after all.

Oh, sure Lizzie, not compared to your own scholarship and thinking. On the other hand, perhaps you should reread the article, carefully this time.
For decades, Antony Flew has been among the most influential of atheist thinkers, a powerful opponent of religious belief. He’s had teaching positions at Oxford and Aberdeen, and Professorships at Keele and Reading; and has argued that theological claims should not be taken seriously because they can’t be falsified; and that atheism ought to be the default position, that the burden of proof on the question of God’s existence lies with the theist, etc.
In 2004, however, after decades of “following the argument,†Flew changed his mind, and is no longer an atheist. Aren’t you impressed that someone with all his
credentials, at the age of 81 no less, is able to admit that he’s been so wrong for all those decades?
What does all this mean? Obviously, atheism is dead (sounds somehow redundant, doesn’t it?), although many of y’all may never comprehend its obvious demise.
