Every day we wake up in a world of finite things. The bed, the shower, the car, the job, the sunset, the dinner, and the television. All of these can be detected by our senses because they are finite and can be seen, have odor, make sounds, be felt, or have taste. And so it is, we are built to witness these finite things.Alas, God is not finite though. If you were able to see Him, you would have to see everything, in all directions at all times. If you were able to hear Him, you'd have to listen to every sound that has ever happened or will happen. Surely we can not grasp this. So high is God's existence above us, that to see Him, we'd have to have entirely new senses capable of witnessing infinity.
No, God could never be seen in His entirety, only a representation of Himself could ever pass by our senses. Science can never prove God's existence as it concerns itself with measurements. God is infinite. You can't measure infinity with a measuring stick!
Only God can determine if He wishes for you to see Him, but even then only as a finite representation of Himself. If God so chose to appear to you, He would do so in such a finite way that you would comprehend, but He could never reveal His entire self to you. God does not wish for this to be possible for us, and His wishes are Truths, something that we can never challenge. It is simply His choice and we are obedient to Him.
Is this so hard for you to grasp? Think of it in the light of faith. Can a blind man see a pile of books? Of course not. But how could the books be there if they were not seen? You must understand that your senses can only tell you if something exists if it happens to be detected in one of five different ways. Surely you and I would be very well blind to something that does exist that we can not detect. And so it is with God; for our meager senses are not up to the challenge of perceiving His entire unlimited self. That doesn't mean that He fails to exist. You must have faith that He is there even though you can not perceive Him.
So in summary,
- God being infinite can't be seen by our senses which see only finite things
- None of our senses can ever measure an infinite Being
- Because you can't detect something doesn't mean it isn't there.
