'How many of us, in a crisis of faith, have said, If only God could make himself known, just a whisper, just a brush of his hand, anything but this great and deafening silence.'
I don't understand it. Both someone's speaking and someone's silence is someone's activity. Why should it be this activity - speaking - that would give someone reassurance, but silence would not? It seems to me that silence expresses one's power more than uttering words.
Of course the existence of God is self-evident, and to willingly doubt it is contrary to the natural law.
