THE INVISIBILITY OF GOD HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR HUMANITY


Jesus is God, and in coming here, he has made God visible to us. The seeming invisibility of God is where agnostic and atheist thinkers make their mistake by equating invisibility with unknowability and from there leaping to God’s non-existence.
The mysterious invisibility of God has always been a problem for humanity. However, scientists have long ago learned that invisibility is not equivalent with imaginary or pretend or untrue. Science knows that Atoms are invisible but they are real. So are sound waves, time, wind, and gravity, invisible but nonetheless existent. God’s Invisibility does not make God less authentic, less authoritative, less nearby. Rather, this breathtaking, invisible God is as actual as anything else that we perceive with our senses. The wind blows wherever it pleases and it makes things happen, like waving grasses and bending trees, and crashing waves at the shoreline. Similarly God affects outcomes.
