God is reflected in ALL creation, God can be clearly seen in creation, and even with the more science we invent, although many still try to make it evidence against God, in reality this science shows even more deeply how complex and less likely evolution is, and how magnificent the identity and purposefulness of each part of every creature, and how every creature contributes to the overall balance of nature, it becomes evidently clear that the design was intentional and balanced to a degree unfathomable by the most brilliant of minds. This leaves all men without excuse to finding and knowing God.
Religious extremes:
Throughout the world, there are extremes that are apart from God, perhaps the two most prevalent extremes are: 1 - The Creation is the exclusive focus of worship, and 2 - the Creation is excluded from worship. While these are not critical to our beliefs, I think it is worthy to spend a moment to take a brief look at them. In the first where creation is the focus of worship, as in the Druid and other pagan religions, they recognized the power that is evident in the creation itself. This power of the earth to sustain life, to bring forth new life, to provide an abundance for all forms of life inspired a religion. The earth is full of energy and these religions recognized this, but did not recognize the life sustaining power of a God that created all this. They see the creation but do not recognize the Creator.
In the second, creation is excluded from worship as in the Zen Bhudist and Yoga movements. In these religions God is recognized,
but not as a being apart from man. They seek the power of the spirit or the inner self and believe it to be "Like God", as Satan
said in the garden of Eden, God does not want you to eat of the fruit because you will be "Like God". This, the first Pagan
religion originated from the Garden of Eden and is the primary focus of most of the New Age religions.
