The world has always been too small for the likes of mankind. We have always been seekers of the truth, always looking for that which we cannot see. We want to know everything, to be like God.

In the beginning, this was precisely why the first man and woman succumbed to Satan’s tempting.

“You will not surely die,” the serpent said to the woman.  “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:4-5

As a result of this continually wanting to know more, we are never satisfied with what we can perceive.  We are constantly searching beyond our means for validation in our existence.  In our hearts, all men—Christians and non-Christians alike—do believe in God, since he has placed “eternity in the hearts of men,”  but spend their entire lives trying to prove God’s existence and the feeling in their hearts by trying to disprove his existence.
