“Since the creation of the world, His invisible nature, namely His eternal power and divinity, has been clearly seen in the things that have been created. » (Romans 1:20)
The writings of ancient pagan philosophers confirmed the biblical teaching that it is possible for human beings to know of the existence of God without ever having read the Bible. For this reason, Thomas Aquinas taught that human beings have a natural knowledge of God, that we can know the existence of God using our reason. We may not see it directly, but from what we see and our experience of the natural world, we can infer that there must be something behind it all. Something is responsible for the grandeur, beauty and order of the world; and this is what all men call God.
