“I talk to God, but the sky is empty.” – Sylvia Plath
The sky only becomes empty when our heart is empty of God; that is to say, if we believe that, by our so-called empirical objectivity, we have the truth about everything. And since we cannot observe or see God through our scientific method of observation—rooted in naturalistic presupposition—we conclude that there is no God.
St. Paul said,
“…because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, because they are understood through what has been made. So people are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but they became futile in their thoughts and their senseless hearts were darkened.” (Romans 1:19-22 NET)
There are “plain” evidences that God himself provides for us to see. However, there is a problem in our hearts. We don’t like God—we don’t like the idea and presence of God in our sinful lives. And for this reason, we cannot ‘see’—through the eyes of our hearts and minds—His active existence. And so, in the final analysis, the issue lies not in the absence of evidence but in humanity’s moral enmity or hatred toward God. Dislike of God hinders us from seeing His light (existence).
Jesus said,
“Now this is the basis for judging: that the light has come into the world and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.” (John 3:19 NET)
