RADIO PROGRAM No. 81 - Where Do You Look for God?

[This is the first of a special group of programs on the subject, "God in the Twentieth Century."]

INTERVIEWER: A good many people feel that the modern world has outgrown religion, left it behind, or at least eased it off into a corner somewhere. The concept of a three-decker universe, which consisted of heaven above, earth in the middle, and hell below, vanished centuries ago. People stopped thinking of God as literally up there somewhere in the sky. Many began thinking of God as out in space, perhaps beyond the physical universe. But now space probes and radio telescopes push back the limits of the universe and seem to leave less and less space for such a God to inhabit.

Dr. John Robinson, the Anglican Bishop of Woolwich, England, says in his book "Honest to God": "The signs are that we are reaching the point at which the whole conception of a God 'out there,' which has served us so well since the collapse of the three-decker universe, is itself becoming more of a hindrance than a help." (SCM Press Ltd., London. Copyright, 1963, Westminister Press, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.)

Do you think that Bible teachings answer the question, where is God? in a way that modern man can accept and understand?
