The speaker reflects on their personal experiences of appreciating the majesty and beauty of nature, such as standing on the summit of the Matterhorn and walking beside a brook in the White Mountains. They argue against government interference in preserving nature's beauty and affirm that both systematic arguments and unreasoned flashes of awe can reveal God's glory.
How can you know that God is real?
This question has always been difficult, but in 1935, when J. Gresham Machen broadcasted the first of these little talks, the ground had shifted. Cultural Christianity was giving way to new ideas about truth and the universe. Darwinian evolution was becoming entrenched in the public school system, and it had even become fashionable to openly question the existence of God.
In the best of times, it isn’t easy to find a place to start to give answers proving the existence of God, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t answers. It just takes careful, patient explanation. And that’s just the challenge J. Gresham Machen takes up from the beginning of his talks in Things Unseen, giving a clear, succinct and easy to understand case for a God who not only exists, but actually tells us he exists a lot!
