In the Bible God says the majesty of His creation is proof of his existence and mankind is without excuse for not repenting and believing. Probably has something to do with the Bible being reproduced in more copies than any other book as well as more languages.

Or just consider the words from the Galaxy song.

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.

Romans 1:20

20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.


I find "invisible qualities" to be very interesting. It makes me wonder if nature is His invisible qualities. I know it's His creation. Maybe we're looking at proof of Him when we observe nature itself?

One thing I keep wondering lately is if it's arrogant to expect proof of God apart from nature. Is that like saying to God, "Prove yourself," when He has told us that He already has through His invisible qualities? I don't know. It's just something I've been thinking about a lot as I've read more and more of these threads.
