Let me help my theistic friends to answer why God(s) does not
show that he exists.
That we in our limited scope of understanding are unable to
comprehend the full glory of God(s), whatever God(s) this might be.
We however, can find God(s) through his/her/it/theirworks. For the
presence of God(s) is everywhere, and if we can't see the works of
God, it is because we have our hearts closed off to God(s). Only by
accepting God(s) can we see him/her/it/them.
I agree with you that faith alone is a very poor indicator of
truth though. One can assert whatever he/she wants, but it is
necessary for him/her to produce evidence in which the analysis of
that evidence points towards a single conclusion, can that
conclusion be considered true.
the truth of the matter is this. physics is the language of
universal truth. what the believers believed without doubt is that
everything and anything was created by god. so if you
discovered something new, it will be attributed to god's work, so
dun bother. in their belief system, it is god, god and god. other
religions are false and satanic. those not accepting god grace will
be condemned to hell, period.
I will not accept this kind of belief system. it borders on
the absurb and doesnt make any sense. even the concept of god
was created and attributed to man. this is an irrefutable
truth.
