The Search for God

(I've never enjoyed writing introductions, so I'll just jump right into this idea)

We ("we" will be used as a very general term, not necesarly including all of humanity) will never be able to "find God" or "find out if God really exists" if we continue using the same methods that we do today. But the solution, the alternative route, is stated in many religions; one of the most popular being Christianity:

"God created man in His own image..."
-Genesis 1:27

We spend so much time looking for something so amazing and so alien, that we don't realize what we are looking for is right here.
Either way that you translate the above quote: "We are God", "We are extensions of God", "We are like God", it can simply be said that we are looking for something outside of ourselves and alien. This means that: we would never be able to prove that God exists because you can't prove something is there when it's not, because we are looking for something other than ourselves, rather than something like ourselves.
This would mean that human science/reason/logic, the things that many use to disprove God, reflect/are aspects of God.
Therefore, in order to prove that God exists, one would need to prove that we exist.


Any ideas or comments? Please tell me if I did not state this clearly enough.
