If God exists, why is it hard to tell?

Oxford philosopher Max Baker-Hytch speaks with Sara Stevenson about “evidential ambiguity” — the idea that evidence for God is not always clear. They discuss different ways people search for truth, what kinds of evidence are publicly available, and why uncertainty does not necessarily rule out God’s existence.
