If God is everywhere, why can't we see him?

Question

Is God invisible, is he hiding, or is he simply an imaginary being?

Fun thing is that theists say that "only the faithful feel him and see him"

Why not show up for everyone?

Whoa there!!!

I'm an Atheist, the question is "Why can't we actually SEE a being named GOD?"

Don't give the "watch a sunrise, or watch a baby smile" nonsense.

Once more: Why can't ANYONE see the SO-CALLED Creator, and not only his 'work'???

Answer 1

CREATE A FANTASY, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA HOLD IT UP WITH...?...THAT'S RIGHT ANOTHER FANTASY...
BUT TO SUPPORT THIS FANTASY, YOU HAVE TO CREATE YET ANOTHER FANTASY UPON WHERE TO HOLD ANOTHER AND ANOTHER FANTASY...
GOD DOES NOT EXIST AND THAT IS SIMPLY WHY WE CAN'T SEE HIM, CHRISTIANS CLAIM THAT YOU CAN'T SEE AIR EITHER SO HOW COULD YOU BELIEVE IN THE AIR...WELL...WE CAN BREATHE THE AIR.....SO WE DEFINETLY KNOW IT'S THERE.......IN ORDER TO BELIEVE IN GOD YOU NEED FAITH....AND NOT TONS OF IT......JUST A TINY SPEC.....YOU THEN FIGURE....IF THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE BELIEVE IN GOD....THEN THEY MUST BE RIGHT.......BUT THERE ARE NO GODS.......NOT EVEN FOR THOSE WHO HAVE FAITH IN THEM........FAITH IN FANTASIES WILL BE JUST FANTASIES.....

Answer 2

You don't have to get so mad and upset. If you are an atheist, then it should not be important to you wether you see god or not. But for all other's it is the believe and the faith. Many people have studied the Bible: see following

To start with, we are specifically told in Scripture that God is not "a man" :

"God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent ... " (Num. 23:19; cf. 1 Sam. 15:29)

"I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I [am] God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city." (Hosea 11:9)

GOD IS "SPIRIT"

Jesus made a clear statement to the Samaritan woman at the well when He stated, "God is (a) Spirit (Grk. pneuma)" (John 4:24). As seen above, "spirit" is not in any sense "flesh." Webster's Dictionary defines a "spirit" as "a being having an incorporeal or immaterial nature." This is entirely consistent with Scripture. It is significant that both the Hebrew (ruach) and the Greek (pneuma) words for "spirit" are often used for "wind" or "breath" as well - subjects just as immaterial and invisible.

GOD IS INVISIBLE

Scripture also teaches us that God is invisible :

"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead (i.e., Deity) ... " (Romans 1:20)

"Who [Christ] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature ... " (Col. 1:15)

"Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, [be] honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen." (1 Timothy 1:17)

"By faith [Moses] forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible." (Hebrews 11:27)

Answer 3

God is everywhere, and anywhere at all times., for God there isn't time, pass, present and future, God has his own time, and we have our own time, in the material world. what is God time in order for us to see, HIM(God), within this material World.
There is a thing that we call essences, Essences are emanations of the living energy, or in this case, we should said, emanations of the Intelligent Human being.

God's essences are, and they can be found, within threes, plans, Mountains, and basically within any existence, as long as such existence isn't man made?.

You need to know this, because if you haven't seeing (HIM)-God, within some of the life HIM, create, within the four kingdoms of nature and of this material existence, you are missing something. I' Catholic, and I know atheist, can see Him, or God essences, but, Not a material form. in Words, and in sentences, you don't much to know to perceived HIM. Because some words, they do have, Essences, which made the word, to be "The Word:, Jesus, was, is and he will always be the word, and the Father can use, ours Literal way of expression, also to communicate, with the World. and the material world.

Answer 4

First off all your theist is not telling you the truth. No one can feel or see god. But that does not mean he is not there. He doesn't single anyone out as special and allow them to feel his presence. If he could then those people would probably be proclaimed evil or sent somewhere. God may not appear but that does not mean he doesn't guide our lives

Answer 5

No, no, no, forget what the theists supposedly say. You are just not looking properly. You have to employ the right kind of vision to see a spiritual being. It's like if you were going to look at a sub-atomic particle you'd need specialist equipment. Well to see things on a spiritual level you do too, only we all have that equipment built in to our bodies, it's called the third eye.
My advice if you wish to know more is to explore as many spiritual paths as possible and sooner or later one of them will lead you to what you need.

Answer 6

God does not have a body. He exists as a spirit.
Kind of like the wind you cannot see it, but you can see what it does.
To see what God is up to requires faith and faith is actually accessible to everyone. You demonstrate that you have faith every time you plop yourself down on a chair. "will it hold me up?" I showed my faith by attending class. I wanted to get a degree so I faithfully studied and worked at everything I was supposed to and one day I got it "by faith"
I promise if you show faith He will show up for you.

Answer 7

God may not be the image that you and many others think, like humanlike. He is energy, light, matter, love and he is everywhere. Look around you, the trees, air, animals, life! He doesn't have to actually mean HE. People just don't know how else to identify such a great source of power.

Answer 8

Allah is not everywhere.
He is above the skies...
Seeing Allaah in this world when one is awake is something that is not possible (since we can't see the whole univers how can we see the creator of this univers)
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “His veil is Light and if He (Allah) were to remove it, the glory of His Countenance would burn everything of His creation, as far as His gaze reaches.” Because His sight reaches everything, and everything would be burned by this immense Light. Based on this, we say that it is not possible to see Allaah...

Answer 9

GOd is so close to us, that we overlook him most of the time.

So the other disciples were saying to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe." John 20:25

Answer 10

Do you need Me?
I am there.
You cannot see Me, yet I am the light you see by.
You cannot hear Me, yet I speak through your voice.
You cannot feel Me, yet I am the power at work in your hands.
I am at work, though you do not understand My ways.
I am at work, though you do not recognize My works.
I am not strange visions. I am not mysteries.
Only in absolute stillness, beyond self, can you know Me as I am, and then but as a feeling and a faith.
Yet I am there. Yet I hear. Yet I answer.
When you need Me, I am there.
Even if you deny Me, I am there.
Even when you feel most alone, I am there.
Even in your fears, I am there.
Even in your pain, I am there.
I am there when you pray and when you do not pray.
I am in you, and you are in Me.
Only in your mind can you feel separate from Me, for only in your mind are the mists of “yours” and “mine.”
Yet only with your mind can you know Me and experience Me.
Empty your heart of empty fears.
When you get yourself out of the way, I am there.
You can of yourself do nothing, but I can do all.
And I am in all.
Though you may not see the good, good is there, for I am there.
I am there because I have to be, because I am.
Only in Me does the world have meaning; only out of Me does the world take form; only because of Me does the world go forward.
I am the law on which the movement of the stars and the growth of living cells are founded.
I am the love that is the law’s fulfilling. I am assurance. I am peace. I am oneness. I am the law that you can live by. I am the love that you can cling to. I am your assurance. I am your peace. I am one with you. I am.
Though you fail to find Me, I do not fail you.
Though your faith in Me is unsure, My faith in you never wavers, because I know you, because I love you.
Beloved, I am there.
