Bertrand Russell’s Flawed Argument against the Existence of God

Summary

The sermon analyzes Bertrand Russell's rejection of the cosmological argument for God's existence, based on John Stuart Mill's critique of infinite regress in causality. The key takeaway is that Russell and Mill misconstrued the law of cause and effect, confusing "every cause has an effect" with "everything that exists has a cause." The sermon concludes that God, as an uncaused, self-existent being, does not violate logical principles, unlike an uncaused effect.
