The Nobel laureate philosopher and humanitarian Bertrand Russell unconvinced by arguments for the existence and attributes of God; in the famous lecture he gave in South London in 1927, he not only comments on the dogmatism and moral and cosmological vagueness that characterizes such arguments, but makes some other very interesting observations .
One of the most brilliant minds of the 20th century, Mr Bertrand Arthur William Russell (1872-1970) was born in Wales from an aristocratic family, studied mathematics at Cambridge and was one of the founders of analytic philosophy. An interventionist in the public sphere, he often took a stand on the important issues of his time, while teaching philosophy in many universities around the world, from the United States to China. In 1950 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, "in recognition of his devotion to humanitarian ideals and freedom of thought."
