My House Did not have a Builder (or did it?)

If God is to be found only in the Bible, then God is a figment of the imaginations of ancient desert dwellers.  If God is a real presence in reality, then to study reality is to love God.  Christians who will favor the Bible over a study of the actual evidence that God must have left writ all over the cosmos are doing nothing but ancestor worship-- they have no interest in a living God.

Don't scientists read? Scientists don't just walk outside and look up in the sky and say, "Wow, look at that." and now they're a scientist. Sure they study things in labs, and in the earth itself, etc. But they also read their scientific books. They also have to learn complicated math in certain sciences. So of course if someone is going to delve into a certain discipline, or to learn about a certain thing, part of that learning is going to include reading. 
It wouldn't make sense for someone who wants to ['know"?]* about God not to read the Bible, which tells us who He is and how He is. If you want to learn about God, and there's a book about God, it would make sense to read it. Not that's the information about God. Everything shows us something about God, but even with all the evidence in nature, it still wouldn't make sense not to read about Him in the Bible.

Big difference between the place of literature in science and in theology.  Indeed scientists do get a running jump on progressing empirical understanding by reading about the work of prior investigators.  This is how they "stand on the shoulders of giants" to see even further, as the saying goes.  But the HUGE difference is that none of the books of any of those scientific giants is sacrosanct.   Everything any of them ever concluded is open to revision.  With Christianity, it all rests on the bible.  If you don't start out assuming it is the inspired word of God you are finished before you start.  For you the bible IS sacrosanct.  Anything any theologian in the Christian tradition may have to say about anything has to be squared with what the bible says.  You say there is a God who is responsible for the creation of everything, but the only evidence you will accept is this book you think is so special.  The question you need to answer is "how do you know the bible is indeed the revealed word of God?"  

If you can't and answer that question, then theology can never self correct.  You are stuck with bronze age mindset but you are convinced you are better off for it.  There is no parallel here between the place of the literature in the pursuit of science and its place in the Christian religion.

So no, God is not only found in the Bible, but He certainly is found in it.

This is precisely what you have not established and, no, you can't refer to the bible to show that the bible is the book in which to learn about God.
