Creation Moment 6/9/2019 - Blending 2 Views as it Relates to the Creator

Thus says the LORD,

the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker:

How dare you question Me concerning My sons,

or instruct Me about the work of My hands?

It is I who made the earth

and created man upon it.

It was My hands that stretched out the heavens,

and I ordained all their host.

Isaiah 45:12,13

"Two of history's theologians take what, at first, seems to be contradictory views on discovering God's existence: 
 St. Irenaeus, Bishop of Lyons (c. 130 - c. 202 AD) follows the model represented in the Biblical account of the Tower of Babel

and God's scattering of the Tower builders to find the pathway to an encounter with God through His Works in Creation, saying, "The initial step for us all to come to the knowledge of God is the contemplation of Nature." 
 John Calvin, on the other hand, advises the seeker after God to follow the path of Faith, "There is no knowing that does not begin with knowing God." 

Is it not so, that both are true and necessary dimensions of discovery of the Divine to know His Works. 
*Atheists and agnostics never find God in science unless they are first looking for Him,
*while the seeker after God who is ignorant of Nature will never confirm His Living Presence among us and within us with their own eyes and by their own reasonings."
