1. It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

Many people believe science has done what religion never could. It explains the universe, predicts outcomes, and replaces mystery with facts. As technology advances and discoveries accelerate, the question grows louder: do we still need God, or has science made Him obsolete? To some, belief in God feels like a relic from a time before microscopes, space telescopes, and equations.

One of the most common arguments against God sounds simple and convincing: if God is real, why can’t we see Him? In a world ruled by evidence, cameras, and proof, invisibility feels suspicious. We trust what we can measure, touch, and observe. Anything unseen is quickly dismissed as imaginary, outdated, or wishful thinking. To many skeptics, an invisible God is no God at all.

It is one of the most uncomfortable questions humanity has ever asked. Is God real, or is God simply a story we created to cope with fear, pain, and the unknown? For some, the idea of God feels like a psychological safety net, something humans invented when life became too overwhelming to face alone. When death feels final, suffering feels pointless, and the universe feels cold and silent, the thought of a loving God can feel like a necessary escape.
