The truth is that denying God’s existence because of His being invisible is an anachronistic argument in the age of modern science. In the age of Einstein (d. 1955), when the atom was smashed and scientific knowledge embraced the sub-atomic world, it was brought to light, that in this realm, everything was invisible. Everything which had previously been perceived to be palpably solid was shown to be made up of components which were invisible. This being so, taking the stand that God’s existence may be denied on the grounds of invisibility has come to be regarded as unscientific. The following two books provide details on this subject: 1. The Unseen World by Sir Arthur Eddington. 2. Human Knowledge by Bertrand Russell Therefore, we can say that: The option that we have is not between a ‘universe with God’ or a ‘universe without God’. The only option we have is between a ‘universe with God’ or ‘no universe at all’. ...To be continued No short-cuts There is no doubting the fact that failure in life usually results from the quest for immediate success. The word 'short-cut' may be applicable to the world of roads and footpaths, but there are no short-cuts in the struggles of life. This fact frequently evinces itself in untoward ways.
