If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.[9] ----- Whereu he seems to be saying something similar to what the Scriptures teach.
(Romans 1:20) For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable.
Modern science helps us to see how intricately designed natural things are, what power and wisdom were necessary to bring them into existence. It does not necessarily lead us to believe God is interested in us as individuals however. This is something that has to be experienced.
David is a man that recommended: (Psalm 34:8) Taste and see that Jehovah is good; Happy is the man that takes refuge in him.
There was the occasion when Israelite King Saul, because of jealousy, tried to kill David. So David was forced to flee into the enemy territory of the Philistines. There he disguised his sanity by acting crazily, and he was able to escape with his life. (1Samuel 21:10-15) It was on this occasion, when his life was in great danger, that David composed Psalm 34. An understanding of these circumstances gives added meaning to his words, but even more important to the building of faith is to experience for oneself God's blessing on obedience to his Word.
We are told: (Hebrews 11:6) Moreover, without faith it is impossible to please God well, for whoever approaches God must believe that he is and that he becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking him. That trust can only be built by "exercising faith."
(John 3:16) “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.
