Also, if God exists but is unknowable then he may as well not exist. If we can't know him and if his existence has no impact on our daily lives then it's the same as if he did not exist.
If God existed do you think he would be knowable?
Maybe. It can often be said that God reveals himself through people. If you are in a tough spot, and someone 'comes to your rescue,' maybe even someone who dislikes you...many attribute that as Divine Intervention.
I'm not denying that possibility, but a component of evolution is altruism. We see it in the animal kingdom. If animals have the ability to be altruistic, and don't have the ability to worship a deity, what can be said about the validity of 'needing' a god at all? If a gorilla can show altruism to other gorillas...gee, think we should be able to.
Science answers a lot more questions than religion, if we seek answers there.
I think that we will all know, one way or the other, when we die. That is when we will know without any doubts, imho. I think if someone wishes to worry over being worthy enough for heaven, or unworthy and banished to hell, he/she is missing out on the life that perhaps that very god gave to them.
SO many ways to look at it, yes? lol
