If there is a God, His true bible exists in nature, not an ancient book that was written by people thousands of years ago.
Greetings, yenmor. Actually He exists(IMB) in both places!
Romans 1:18-20 writes:
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
Of course, some otherwise intelligent men and women conclude (from the vantage point of this dust speck, no less) that there is no evidence for God and that human logic can explain the existence of this huge universe another way.
Proverbs18:2 writes:
--A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions.
Of course, the critic would claim that science is never about opinion, unlike faith/belief. They would assert that they did not have opinions...they based their belief on evidence. Science itself became more comforting to them than a belief in a higher power that cares about humanity. I can see why some feel that way...Of course, the skeptic/critic concludes that the Bible is but a collection of human philosophy based on limited understanding and that now-a-days we have much better tools of logic, reason, and reality with which to form our belief. Sticking with scripture, (which the critic may suggest I am quote-mining)
we read in
1 Cor 3:18-20 writes:
Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a "fool" so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: "He catches the wise in their craftiness"; and again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile."
Does this suggest that God wants humans to remain ignorant and stupid? I don't think so...He just wants us to acknowledge Him and have a reverent fear...as it is good for us and keeps our human ego in check.
In closing, I use
Ps 34:9-10 writes:
Fear the LORD, you his saints,
for those who fear him lack nothing.
The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
In my opinion, belief in God in a personal way is achieved through Jesus Christ and does not prevent an individual from learning and embracing science also. God created the entire universe and even multiverses if they exist. In other words, if it exists, He created it...even the thoughts of atheists.
