It was the 90th birthday party of Bertrand Russell. A London lady sat next to him at this party, and over the soup she suggested to him that he was not only the world's most famous atheist but, by this time, very probably the world's oldest atheist. "What will you do, Bertie, if it turns out you were wrong?" she asked. "I mean what if – uh - when the time comes, you should meet Him? What will you say?" Russell was delighted with the question. His bright, birdlike eyes grew even brighter as he contemplated this possible future dialogue, and then he pointed a finger upward and cried, “Why, I should say, 'God, you gave us insufficient evidence.”’

If we combine this “insufficient evidence” with something Russell said in a 1953 interview, when asked what sort of evidence, if any, could convince him, we get a hint of another sort of atheistic argument he very likely would accept. He answered: “I think that if I heard a voice from the sky predicting all that was going to happen to me during the next 24 hours, including events that would have seemed highly improbable, and if all these events proceeded to happen, I might perhaps be convinced….But as far as I know no such evidence exists.”

So, Russell thought there could be evidence for believing in God - at least, he says, a god of “super-human intelligence”.

I imagine God would answer Bertrand Russell, "You should have asked."

When we humbly allow faith to guide reason, miracles happen. God asks us to believe in Him and in the Creed, as we might ask a child to believe that the stove is hot. Only after a bit of experience can our reason support our faith; yet we do well to believe even prior to understanding.

I believe that the evidence is there. The problem is with us. There is evidence everywhere; the question is how to sift through it.

There is one story of a scholar and an atheist. Long ago an atheist did not believe the existence of God. He asked a scholar for a debate about the existence of God. Among the questions are: “Does God exist?” and “If God exists then where is God?”

Then they decided when and where the debate takes place.

The atheist and the villagers were waiting for the scholar, but the scholar did not come right on time. When the atheist and the villagers thought that the scholar will not come for the debate, then the scholar showed up.

“I am sorry to keep you waiting for so long. But the rain is so heavy so the river floods. The bridge drifted away so I could not cross it. Thank God suddenly there was a big tree fell down. Then the branches cut out by themselves so the trunk was branchless. After that the trunk was cut and a hole was created so it became a boat. So I used the boat and crossed the river,” said the scholar.

The atheist and the villagers were laughing. The atheist said to the villagers, “This scholar is mad. How can a tree become a boat by itself with no one made it? How can a boat exist with no maker who made it?”

The villagers were laughing out loud.

After the people calmed down, the scholar said, “If you believe that the boat could not exist without its maker, then how could you believe the earth, sky, and its contents exist without its creator? Which is the most difficult to make? Making a boat or creating the earth, sky, and its contents?

Hearing that, they realized that they trapped with their own statement.

“Then answer my second question,” said the atheist. “If God exists, why can’t He be seen? Where is God?” The atheist thought since he cannot see God, then God does not exist.

The scholar slapped the atheist’s cheek hardly so the atheist felt so much pain. “Why did you slap me? It’s very painful” asked the atheist. “There is no pain. I cannot see pain. Where is pain?” The scholar asked. “The pain is here,” the atheist pointed his cheek. “No, I cannot see pain. Do you see the pain?” the scholar asked the villagers. The villagers said, “No!”

“So, though we cannot see the pain, does not mean that the pain does not exist. So is the God. Just because we cannot see the God, does not mean that God does not exist. Though we cannot see Him, but we can see His creations.” Said the scholar.

The argument of the scholar is very simple. Yet, the argument that God does not exist just because human’s sense could not sense the existence of God is very wrong.

How many things that could not be seen or heard by people but exist?

We cannot see the wind but the wind exists. We cannot see electricity, what you can see is wire, but electricity exists.

How many things in the sky that billions light years away, even trillions light years away that could not be seen by people yet the things exist?

How many molecular things even nucleus that cannot be seen by people yet exist? People could only see those things by using a very powerful microscope.

How many waves, radio, electromagnetic, electricity, etc, that cannot be seen yet exist?

Those things exist, yet the human sense is very limited so it cannot sense their existence.

The human ability to see colors limited to certain frequencies. People only could hear limited frequencies. Sometimes the light not only very dazzling but also could make people blind. So is the sound. Certain sound could not be heard by human sense while other sound which is very loud could destroy human‘s hearing.
