I have a friend who grew up as a believer in Christ, served on missionary teams that assisted those in need and was a prominent figure in his high-school youth group.
As he got older his belief in God dwindled as his faith in science increased. He opened his heart, mind, soul and strength to evolution, the existence of space aliens and conspiracy theories.
I spent months with him discussing God, creation and the Messiah. He continually argued and disregarded God. He bordered blaspheming him.
If God truly existed he wanted a clear sign from him. He wanted proof. He wanted God to "appear" to him.
My friend wanted to control God. He wanted to be the God of God.
Fortunately, that is not how it works. God has revealed himself through creation and through his word. He is visible to those who know him.
"They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths."
2 Timothy 4:4
"Come near to God and he will come near to you..."
James 4:8
