Summary

This quote suggests that if God were to constantly provide physical proof of his existence upon demand, it would ultimately be disappointing. The quote argues that true intelligence is not solely based on tangible evidence or proof, but rather on the ability to have faith, which is considered to be a unique quality that distinguishes humans from other beings. By not readily providing physical evidence, God respects and values mankind's capacity for faith, and therefore the strongest Christians should be grateful for God's decision to operate in this way.
