Sight and insight

The Rev Dr Gary NicolosiBy The Rev. Dr. Gary Nicolosi

When the British philosopher and atheist, Bertrand Russell, was asked what he would say if he died and found himself confronted by God, demanding to know why Russell had not believed in him, he responded, “Not enough evidence, God, not enough evidence!”
