God exists because His qualities are reflected in some people as glory to God and as example for others

Book of Nature is filled with life-support system such as trees, symbol of giving too many valuable things to us, yet taking only wastes from us revealing the signature-mannerism of God whose joy is in giving not in receiving. Numerous variety (apple in 1000s, flower rose in 100s …) reveals HE enjoyed working as though HE can’t stop working but stops because of limitation of space on this tiny earth. These godly qualities are not found in chimpanzees: Male chimpanzee seen snatching seconds-old chimp and eating it” (newscientist com/13 October 2017) Greed rules behavior pattern of monkeys as they snatch things from passersby.

There are people who imitated the above Godly quality of finding joy IN GIVING

(a ) Abraham is called “Friend of God” and “Father of those having faith” because he practiced peace which he learned by looking at universe. He saw planets travelling at great speed without causing traffic-jam nor conflict and learned their religion is peace. OFFERING FIRST CHOICE TO OTHERS was made his life-style which is revealed in his famous reply to his cousin “If you go to the left, I’ll go to the right; if you go to the right, I’ll go to the left.” He is only a sample of many such historical people.

b) Joseph (grandson of Abraham) is known for making law against adultery when there was no such law existed, and thwarted repeated efforts of wife of his master to have sex with him. He is also a sample of many such historical people.

(c) There are many humans who chose to imitate God’s core quality of unconditional love like Maximilian Kolbe in Nazi Concentration Camp (Wikipedia org/Maximilian_Kolbe) who chose to die in place of another prisoner.

d) There are people who are extremely prudent in their use of words because of possibility of conveying concept/harm unuttered. For example, when a person says “my salary is less” harm is done to his employer conveying the concept that he is unmerciful and mean even though he did not say it in words. Wise King Solomon wrote “By a multitude of words thou shalt not escape sin; but if thou refrain thy lips thou wilt be prudent” (Proverbs 10:19, Septuagint) and practiced it himself. He wrote universe is “eternal (olam)” in Ecclesiastes 1:4 thus was prudent in NOT depicting God in poor light. In saying “God created universe” it would mean God as one who has been existing all ALONE for all eternity, for infinite number of years (1 followed by infinite number of zeros). Then Solomon also wrote that history too has no beginning as it is a never-ending series of New Age and Old Age in Ecclesiastes 1:9, 10, ESV, Septuagint etc) which means God is like a father who gives new toy whenever children make it irreparable through use/overuse/misuse. Thus again, God is presented as one whose joy is in giving which HE has been practicing for all eternity.

This is what Jesus too taught who preferred to call himself “Greater Solomon.” He compared “this Age” and “Age to come” with “a seed’ which is symbol of never-ending series of GROWTH and DECAY, https://www.reddit.com/r/DebateReligion/s/DN2WISR9x7. By calling himself as “Greater Solomon” Jesus actually exonerated Solomon of all sins which his enemies added to his history later such as he had 700 wives and 300 concubines which is not true according to 1 King 3:1 Septuagint. All such negative portrayal of Solomon happened later for political reason which has nothing to do with what Jesus knew about Solomon. (semanticscholar org/Loving too well: the negative portrayal of Solomon and the composition of the Kings history) Jesus's knowledge about past history is more reliable than the historicity of world wars, pollution, swelling of the seas etc all of which he predicted in 1st century AD. (Details here www.reddit.com/r/Christianity/s/5c1ly7xRbh ) Solomon was in link with wisdom of God, thus was enlightened about his past and future alike (Wisdom of Solomon 8:20) hence would not act in darkness as to its consequence.

Way to know God

Expecting gravity to speak to us is not the only way to know gravity exists when its existence can be discerned and understood by its effects. Existence of gravitational waves was seen by eyes of immaterial Self of Albert Einstein in 1917 which was directly observed through scientific equipment by two scientists in LIGO for which they were given 2017 Nobel Prize for Physics (ligo Caltech.edu/page/press-release-2017-nobel-prize) www.reddit.com/r/DeepThoughts/comments/1q7a5dj/god_is_correctly_understood_without_help_of/
