I believe God has made himself known in his invisible qualities through what we can observe in nature (our existence and the universe itself which is whole other debate) and from mankind's conscience. You've asked them, I've asked them, every thinking person asks them. They boil down to these four fundamental questions; origin, meaning, morality and destiny. How did I come into being? What brings life meaning? How do I know right from wrong? Where am I headed after I die?
I believe that these are the invisible qualities of God that all man knows, whether answering those questions lead them to God is another story.
Dave, I accept your answer.
Mine would be just as honest.
All people do not gravitate towards an extremely hard to comprehend intangible concept as a "god" naturally.
Alot of childhood " conditioning" must occur first.
The amount of atheist adults that find god "on their own" is negligible. Imo.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
Know God, Know fear.
