The article “Does God exist?” was written by Russell in 1952 at the request of a London magazine; however, it was not published (547-548). Russell, an advocate of science, was known for his unconventional views and social criticism (“Irvine”). This article appeared at a time when science was finally beginning to establish a meaningful foundation. Discoveries of the 20th century, such as the theory of relativity, evolution, and quantum mechanics, led people to finally turn to scientists for answers (Polanyi). People in Western society readily deferred to the authority of science since empirical evidence, unlike religious claims, cannot be refuted (Polanyi). Russell was an analytical philosopher and therefore placed more emphasis on logic and empirical evidence (Irvine). Russell, also being a mathematician, incorporates more logic than conventional philosophers (Irvine). This article is a profound example of Russell's handling of a conventional subject. The apparent purpose of this article might be to debate the existence of God; However, Russell's goal is controversial. Russell analyzes various perspectives on the existence of a deity in the context of the 20th century. In this article, the historical origins of monotheism are explored as it is the most widespread form of deity worship. Next, the different arguments of theologians in favor of the existence of a God are examined. Russell tells the story of philosophy relating to the existence of a God. The question of existence and its various implications are confronted with scientific assertions and proofs. Finally, the moral arguments in favor of deist worship are examined. The analytical tone is evident from the beginning, particularly when the history of monotheism is discussed...... middle of article ......am, Marcus. “Generation Y is losing faith in God: investigation. » The Huffington Post.
