The Transcendent God of the Universe

The father of modern philosophers, Immanuel Kant, believed that our universe is a closed system and that we can not know God exists by our senses. This thinking marked the departure of the great thinkers, St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas but most importantly the Apostle Paul, who without a doubt is the greatest theologian in history, writing fourteen books of the New Testament by the inspiration of a very transcendent God. The problem is not that man can not deduce a Creator from the Creation, but that man's heart is fallen and wicked. We do not want to know the God revealed in Creation!
