C. S. Lewis’ ”The Seeing Eye,” Part 1

"The Russians, I am told, report that they have not found God in outer space. On the other hand, a good many people in many different times and countries claim to have found God ... here on earth."

Thus begins this essay by C. S. Lewis. I quote it as an introduction because it reminds me of the constant saw I hear from atheists, "show me evidence of God. I won't believe anything without evidence." The real question then becomes, what will count as evidence of God? While we can find Shakespeare in his plays, it is not the sort of evidence that that atheists demand for God. The supernatural by definition cannot be contained within the natural in that way.

"Looking for God - or heaven - by exploring space is like reading or seeing all Shakespeare's plays in the hope that you will find Shakespeare as one of the characters."
