"The Existence of God" by François de Salignac de La Mothe-Fénelon is a philosophical exploration from the late 1600s that looks at proving God's existence through thinking about right and wrong, and by studying the world around us. Fénelon starts by talking about how it can be hard for people to understand big ideas about God. He explains that while some smart people might figure out God exists by thinking deeply, most people can see proof of God by just looking at nature and all the amazing things in it. He points out that people are often too busy with everyday stuff to notice how nature shows off God's power, so he encourages everyone to pay more attention to the beauty of the universe as a way to understand there's a higher power.
