"... There is nothing more beautiful than to be surprised by the Gospel, by the encounter with Christ. There is nothing more beautiful than to know Him and to speak to others of our friendship with Him." (Pope Benedict XVI) [Homily of His Holiness, Sunday, April 24th 2005] GOD MADE MARY

When Jesus, the Living Bread, says IS He means IS.
The more you look for scientific evidence of God, the less faith will be involved. Is this the path you think we should follow? Is there any scripture that would make you think it wise? Mind you some evidence is good if it makes scientific minded people turn to the Lord, but its not faith then, and that's what pleases the Lord.

Doesn't God want to be found? Wasn't that the point of all those big scale miracles we read about?

God is spirit. He cannot be seen first of all with natural eyes in His natural form. Our spiritual eyes can see him, but you have no spiritual eye. He is able to manifest Himself in other forms (of matter) so that even you can see Him, but His Glory is so great that you would be destroyed in the flesh, and your spirit being currently dead, would be beyond redemption. You only care about the flesh, and that is the reason you may never see God. The Spirit IS whats important in our life, the body dies like they always have for as long as you can relate due to history. The Spirit is able to be eternal, and THAT is what God promotes, for the more interested in the spiritual, the more prepared you will be for the next life. You want God to be more like you, so that you can relate. God wants you to be more like Him so you can relate. He is God, you are not. He provides a simple way, and you choose not to take it.

Anyone who is Christian suggests that creation is supernatural. That is, not natural.
The world around us is natural, created by the supernatural.
Quote:
If creation was entirely natural, how could you tell the difference?
So man said to God we dont need you anymore, we can create
life from dust now ourselves. God said show me, and just as the scientist reached for some dust, God said, oh no, you use some of your own dust.
