By pondering on the creation and discovering its properties and laws—which is what science does—one can realize the Creator’s existence and grow in understanding and appreciation of God’s attributes. As indicated earlier, a key event in using this indirect methodology started in the early 17th century, when Galileo used the telescope to study the solar system. The telescope symbolizes a scientific reflection on God’s creation, which is the scientific method of obtaining the realization of the Creator. Reflecting on the marvels of the creation provides sufficient evidence for the Creator’s or God’s existence. In other words, science can be of great use in the realization of the existence of God through the indirect or inferential method or the indirect methodology. In the age of Quantum Physics, it was proved that the final particle of matter is a subatomic particle. A subatomic particle is not directly observable. It cannot be seen, and it is always in a state of motion. While moving, it generates
