I haven't been on this forum very long, but from what I've seen, it just seems to be a meeting room for atheists, as I have seen very few proponents of the Christian faith on here...but maybe I'm wrong.
There are a number of productive religionist voices here. Where you may be seeing a preponderance is in their stand on evolution. I hope you are not confusing evolution with atheism.
Is this not precisely what you are doing? That is, changing God and his glory into something detectable, such as a fourfooted beast, and creeping things? If you really thought of God as God, you wouldn't even try to change His glory into something detectable, and corruptible!!
Let me put words in your mouth. Feel free to spit them back out if you find them wrong.
The OP is "Detecting God." This quest is looking for "evidence" in physical reality and is based on what you consider an errant world view that does not pre-suppose any god to exist. Thus it is looking in the wrong place with the wrong tools.
Aren't you, also, saying that god cannot be detected, that he is undetectable, and any attempt to detect god is not only doomed to failure but is a denial of faith and thus sinful?
Further, that any such "detection" is purely a subjective personal experience of the supernatural limited only to those whose world view has already pre-supposed a god by faith prior to the "detection?"
