I don’t ‘conceive’ God in my mind. I ‘perceive’ Him. Big difference. As Romans 1 and David in the Psalms and Job concurred, He has spoken throughout history through the amazing Creation around us all screaming out of His intricate design. Do you honestly think DNA or the atom came into being by willing itself to tell the ‘next-non-failure’ to self-modify? How? by little Post-it’s?
Jesus said that those who seek God (truly honestly seek) will find Him.
The Atheist’ root motive is to deny absolute accountability. Our sinful nature abhors accountability and will craft any vain imagination to prop up that vapor of a structure of deniability.

Oh, so well stated! Forget “ontological arguments.” How about words in the Bible? Those words have existed for almost 3000 years. The apostle Paul wrote in 1st Corinthians,
“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known”
In other words, as humans, there are many things we can not comprehend or understand — until we meet God face to face.
Science can’t answer those questions, but many of them are addressed in the Bible. That leaves us with a reliable source — faith in a higher being.
As an example, how did the authors of the Bible know all of this 3000 years ago? It sure makes sense to me that information had to come from some source for those authors.
As an example, take the so-called big bang theory in cosmology and compare that to Genesis 1. “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Sounds to me like the same event described in Genesis. Read what this MIT trained professor had to say in his book, Genesis and the Big Bang Theory... http://bit.ly/2J8wt5O
This is but one example, let science explain:
-How DNA was created which is the menu for all living things?
-Consciousness. Where does it come from and where does it exist?
-Quantum physics with its weird and proven capabilities like human observation affecting the outcome of an event before it happens or how two particles are connected across time and space with instant communication — even if separated by large distances?
No one can explain these. Certainly, not science. They had to be created by something much more intelligent than anything we have on this planet. For me, that is a God in heaven.
