One of the great minds of the twentieth century belonged to Lord Bertrand Russell, a philosopher.
He wrote,
Man is the product of causes which had no prevision [foresight] of the end they were achieving. . . .
His origin, his growth, his hopes and fears, his loves and his beliefs, are but the outcome of accidental collocations (the act or result of placing or arranging together) of atoms. . . .
No fire, no heroism, no intensity of thought and feeling, can preserve an individual life beyond the grave. . . .
All these things, if not quite beyond dispute, are yet so nearly certain that no philosophy that rejects them can hope to stand.”19
