The Creator undoubtedly has His separate existence. However, concerning man, He is indirectly discoverable through reflection and contemplation on His creation. We cannot see God directly, but we can infer that God does exist by studying its effect—His creation or the universe.

However, this method proved inapplicable to discovering the Creator (God), leading to their ultimate failure.
