“For God, being good and loving to mankind, and caring for the souls made by Him, ─since He is by nature invisible and incomprehensible, having His being beyond all created existence, for which reason the race of mankind was likely to miss the way to the knowledge of Him, since they are mad out of nothing while He is unmade, ─for this cause God by His own Word gave the Universe the Order it has, in order that since He is by nature invisible, men might be enabled to know Him at any rate by His works.”~St. Athanasius: Against the Heathen, Chap. 35.
