I've recently turned to Christ after being an Athiest all my life, and i completely relate to alot of Russells points on the emotional damage that threatening in everlasting punishent for our sins, and that alot of people follow dogmas because its instilled into us from birth. I still cant help but believe in an all encompassing awareness. A divine intelligence seems like a natural idea to be more inclined to when you pick apart patterns in your every day life, observing the golden spiral in everything. While there is great evil, i strongly believe is necessary to have evil in order to have good. I love the idea you mentioned where evil was actually our natural state and good was the corruption. I dont think this would necessarily disprove the existence of a God, rather give humanity a purpose. Infecting the world with goodness and love.

Thanks for that. These arguments by Bertrand are surprisingly shallow and disappointing.
Maybe a century ago they were impressive.
I expected more from him.

[@MatheusBenites]

Given his talents in other areas, I also expected more from him on the Philosophy of religion. However, the part where he analysis Christ`s character is good, as well as his response to Kant`s moral argument.

@@MatheusBenites I watched only half of the video because I know and admire his achievements in other, more formal areas.
I got discouraged because he is obviously biased. I mean his argumentation against God is inconsistent and self-defeating.

Physics was ok with the Universe as uncaused, that it had n beginning, right up to the 1930's...when it was found to be expanding. Then Physics and Atheists ha to cope wit h a beginning (and something from nothing.)

[@MatheusBenites-Philosophy]

Yes. Although, the universe can still be infinite according to theories such as the multiverse.
