I've been concerned that I can't relate to something that most people seem to grasp with no problem. That's the natural argument for God's existence, meaning that just looking at a beautiful sunset, or mountains, etc, gives a person an insight that there must be a God.
Although I see the beauty in nature and believe God is responsible for it, the beauty itself is not a foundation of my faith. My reasoning for God's existence comes mostly from first-cause logic, as well as absolute morality.
I've been told (in fact, recently by a Dr), that I have characteristics of autism, or what used to be called Asperger's syndrome. Perhaps this could contribute to a person like me having trouble with the "beauty as a reason" argument?
My deceased wife had a real problem with my consideration of, say, how the sunlight is refracted through the atmosphere to cause the colors or what molecules the clouds and trees are made of, etc. She was a very artistic person and I'm pretty scientific. I just couldn't share the "there must be a God because of a sunset" feeling with her. Although again, I do believe God is responsible for it.
Anyone else here know what I'm talking about?
Any comments are appreciated.
