This may sound odd so bear with me. Any atheist will tell you there is no evidence for any god so let's take that as given for the sake of this discussion. Now some theists, like me, accept the idea of Divine Hiddeness, which amounts to the same thing. Personally, I follow the negative path recommended by many saints and mystics going way back. That means I look into the contours of the corruption, folly, and evil of this world to know God by seeing where He isn't. It turns the problem of evil back on itself. If all I can sense is an absurd accident then how can we know what is true or good? As an artist I call this the negative space...where the figure and ground reverse and I see the absence as a thing all its own.
