"Yet the rational transparency and rational beauty of the universe are surely too remarkable to be treated as just happy accidents. Belief in God can make all this intelligible, for it sees the deep order of the world - a world shot through with signs of mind, one might say - as being indeed a reflection of the truth that the Mind of the Creator is revealed in this way."
"The Creator has not filled creation with items stamped ‘made by God’. God’s existence is not self-evident in some totally unambiguous and undeniable way. The presence of God is veiled because, when you think about it, the naked presence of divinity would overwhelm finite creatures, depriving them of the possibility of truly being themselves and freely accepting God. It will be a recurring theme in this book, that, out of love, God has self-limited the exercise of divine power to give creatures the space to be themselves."
