The Book of Genesis clearly discusses the creation of the "Heavens and the Earth", and life on this world. Believers look to "the world around them" as proof of God's existence. Gottfried Leibniz once called Earth, "The best of all possible worlds", referring to the fact that God, being perfect and having created the Earth, must have created the best of all possible worlds.
Yet the most obvious cause of "all there is", is the sun! The sun is the one most responsible for pulling all the matter that made up the earth into the accretion disc that eventually formed the earth. It's nurturing light is responsible for the photosynthesis chemistry that helped life thrive. Is the sun not ever-present? Is it not the most powerful thing in the heavens?
So why don't believers in God believe the Sun is God? Is it because science has explained away the mystery, and denied followers the faith it relies on to keep believing? Will believers keep changing their definitions of God to suit their faith?
