Voltaire, the French Enlightenment Philosopher, believed that reason was sufficient for man; we really have no need for God. He said: “If in the market of Paris, before the eyes of a thousand men and before my own eyes, a miracle should be performed, I would much rather disbelieve the two thousand eyes and my own two, than believe it.” Disbelief has its roots in the heart, not the head.
