Before the Hubble Telescope people could have not imagined what the universe was really like, that in no way limited the universe in being what it really was. I can not photograph the wind only it's action, I can not photograph God, however I can see His actions and not just in my life but in others as well. Also I can photograph a lake with the water perfectly still, not even a ripple and know the wind is not blowing, but because I have a picture of the wind in action I can also use a picture of no wind to show that the wind is real, same with God, I see His actions in some people and know He is real, and when I do not see His action in some people I still see God is real.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
