Philosophy Existence Of God Questions
The problem of divine hiddenness refers to the question of why an all-powerful and all-loving God would choose to remain hidden or not provide sufficient evidence of their existence to all individuals. This challenge to the existence of God arises from the fact that if God truly desires a personal relationship with humanity and wants everyone to believe in their existence, then it seems contradictory for God to remain hidden. Critics argue that the lack of direct evidence or personal experiences of God's presence raises doubts about the existence of such a deity. Additionally, the problem of divine hiddenness raises concerns about the fairness and justice of a God who would hold individuals accountable for their beliefs without providing clear and convincing evidence of their existence.
