Questions concerning life and man's relationship to God are nothing new to modern times, as evidenced by these timeless thoughts from 1000 B.C., 700 B.C. and the first century A.D.

The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." (Psalms 14:1)

Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? (Isaiah 40:26)

Each planet of the solar system is unique in design
Radio telescopes search for intelligence

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.  Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.  There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.  (Psalms 19:1-3)

Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand. In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: "'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving."  For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.   (Matthew 13:13-15)

Monkey see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil or . . .
The Bible:  Man's word about God or God's word through man?

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:8-11)

What may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. (Romans 1:19-22)

The "Divine Proportion" appears throughout creation

Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a "fool" so that he may become wise.  For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: "He catches the wise in their craftiness"; and again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile." (1 Corinthians 3:18-20)

For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength. (1 Corinthians 1:25)

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. (Proverbs 1:7)

When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. (Proverbs 11:2)

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.  This is the first and greatest commandment. (Matthew 22:37-38)
