Additional examples include passages such as Job 28, Ecclesiastes, and
Romans 1 that express the futility of trying to find God starting with
an examinaiton of the physical world. Another problem is that many ID
arguments claim that the heavens do not tell of the glory of God unless
they show evidence of miraculous intervention, whereas biblical
passages see God behind all of creation.
