Mechanical necessity rules all. Good and evil would be words that men use because something in their brains has triggered them to think and speak in such terms, but ethical words could have no real content. The bare assertion that knowledge, ethics, and freedom exist cannot bring them into being, except in Russell's fervid imagination. Mama machine can only give birth to baby machines. If, to escape this problem, one should seek to find comfort in a world of chance, another view of the world suggested by Russell, he is not actually helped at all.
Chance knows nothing of reason, ethics, or freedom.
It precludes reason. And in a world without logic or reason, good and evil cannot exist. Thus, whether Russell chooses a deterministic mechanical view of the universe or a chance view of the universe, he has no right to proceed beyond the foundation of despair to find salvation in a free man's worship. His vision of the free man is a religious delusion, a desperate dream to comfort those not brave enough to face real despair. The sum of the matter is, then, that Russell rejects the Christian view of the world and offers in its place an irrational view of his own making that is no less religious than Christianity.
