To explain this concept better, let us take the following example.

To explain this concept better, let us take the following example. Suppose you are standing in your home and somebody asks you if your best friend is standing at a certain corner in town, which is out of your sight. What would you say? Would you deny that your friend is there just because you cannot see him? Or would you say you don't know? The first is obviously an illogical answer.

The second would be more sensible and would allow you to confirm later on whether your friend was on that corner or not. From this we can conclude that not seeing something is not a sign of its absence. How to Know God Having looked at the various methods we use to gather and absorb information, we can now see how a human being using these skills to learn about God and His existence.

It is clear that God cannot be found using the direct capture system, because He does not have a material or physical form. Since our senses cannot detect Him, we must turn to the other ways. Each of these can help us better understand God and prove He exists. Indirect capture. In the same way we use experiments, sign and effects to prove Laws and theories in this world, we can observe the system around us and from its signs seek the path that will lead us to God. Use of intellect.

This is the most complete method for solving the issue of knowing God. By using our intellectual power we can prove the existence of the Creator. The causes of effects (See Book Three) are the main intellectual reasons used to prove the existence of God. By relying on our emotional understanding we can also discover God. This kind of knowledge is called spiritual knowledge and will be dealt with in more detail later.

Lesson 4 : Using The System As Proof Of God Part I One of the ways of knowing God is through the study of the system that is the universe. This has been called the 'Proving System' because it helps us to prove the necessity of a Maker and Caretaker for such a complex structure. In this lesson let us look briefly at how we can use this proof. Systems A group of components that work together to achieve a common goal is referred to as a system.

In our ancient universe, there are many groups of things that can be classified as being either arranged systematically or non-systematically. A single object in itself cannot be called a system. From its very definition we know that for a system to exist, it must involve a number of objects even though these may be varied in the nature of their structure and function.
