So you would logic instead since u can't see . Then you draw a logical conclusion without even seeing. Since It makes sense you start believing it
Yeah, and god doesn't make sense. God isn't simply unseen, he is unseeable. No on can ever see god...
Exodus 33:20- But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.”
John 1:18- No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
...except when they can:
Exodus 24:9-11 - "Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up 10 and saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of lapis lazuli, as bright blue as the sky. 11 But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank."
