That is all very convenient , to make God into the "unseen" for the priests & prosyletizers , mullahs and clerics...who need to rationalize so much of their irrational doctrines and myths of creation to validate their belief as the truest one ... One can see God every day in many things ...and feel it in every breath you take . As for the universe and time and their enormities , why is it that the prophets of old could only see the earth and man being created only 4000 yrs ago ? That was just a little confining and limited in scope , and contrary to what the astronomers of Greece had confirmed .But the "chosen people" hated the Greeks ..why? Because they had learned so much ? And those beliefs held only 150yrs ago by the majority of Christians and Islamists....and many still choose to believe it today.<g> The Hindu and the Buddhists long before had guessed how ancient the world truely was , in their approximations of the ages of the cycles of the earth and heavens being in many many millions of years . It was not the Hindu's chief goal I feel , to put a fence around their idea of God , and saw the universe for what it truely is , a vast place given to enormous cycles of time . But the Middle East was always too preoccupied with drawing little lines & fences in the sand , and so did their religions who preached redemption on the one hand , and the destruction of others on the other hand . Not very nice. And of Love ? Did Christianity invent that as well ?
