God wants everyone to know him. He teaches about himself through all things that have been created. <ref>{{bgw|Ro 1:20 }} For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:</ref>  Observing the things themselves does not teach us, but we learn from his word in what he has said about the things.
