Can a serious, thinking person believe in God? William James says yes — and has a rigorous philosophical argument for why. Bertrand Russell says the evidence isn't there — and has an equally rigorous argument for that. This episode of American Socrates walks through both cases without flinching and without taking sides. But here's what might surprise you: these two agree on more than you'd think. Neither of them has any use for the faith a schoolboy once defined as 'believing something you know ain't true.' The real debate is about what honest belief looks like when the evidence runs out. And that's a question worth sitting with, wherever you land.
Question Everything!
