Does Man have the necessary qualification to talk anything conclusively about God?
Just ask this question, "How much does a man know about all there is to know in this VISIBLE world and universe?"
How much does any one individual know of all that is already discovered and document by mankind. Mind you, we are talking about all that is already known to mankind.
All that is already discovered and documented in all the volumes and encyclopedias, be it about the human body, be it about the living creatures: mammals, reptiles, birds, insects and the species of each of them, be it the vegetation: the flora and fauna, the oceans, rivers, lakes, glaciers and their different behaviors, be it the atmosphere and its various behaviors, be it all kinds of elements with their physical and chemical properties, be it the properties of sound, light, be it about astronomy (it is estimated that there are over hundred million Galaxies), be it about all kinds of viruses and bacterias, are too exhaustive for any single individual to claim being an authority.
Even an individual who may specialize in any of the above subjects may have only a miniscule and limited knowledge of that area of specialization. How credible then is Man to talk about matters that are not seen.
Isn't it daring then for any man to comment about the non-existence of God whom he has not seen? All that a man can credibly do is to simply air his vague views and hypothesis.
God is best understood through faith in his existence and relationship with him in faith. A Man can surely believe in God with all of his faith, and that would be the right thing to do, than trying to define God conclusively, of whom he knows not an iota. For that Man has to first humble himself in the realisation that he doesn't know enough.
