Trying to find God is a good deal like looking for money one has lost in a dream.
We could believe in God if he shortened the road for the lame, led the blind or fed the starving.
We are told that “all things are possible with God,” and yet God cannot boil an egg in cold water.
Nature
Some people are afraid of the word Nature. They cross themselves when they hear it pronounced. It has a sound like “Old Nick” in their ears. To these pious souls the word Nature banishes God from the universe. This is looked upon by many as the highest offence of language. It has been the custom for several centuries to abuse Nature, to call it bad names, and associate it with depravity and everything evil. Theology has condemned the word, and the pulpit has touched it only with the tips of its fingers. To speak of Nature as anything good is regarded as throwing dirt in the eyes of God.
