Who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (Romans 1:25)

In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. (John 1:4)

That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. (John 1:9)

This innate knowledge of God is one of the things that separate us from the animals. The animal senses take in the same things our human senses receive, yet man knows there is a God and the animal does not. As stated earlier, all societies and people groups believe in some type of deity.

The Puritan Stephen Charnock says, “We shall always find all nations of the world more prone to idolatry than to atheism, and readier to multiply than to deny the deity.” It is no stretch to state that many pagan philosophers were monotheistic. Cicero said, “There is no animal excepting man that has any notion of God; and among men there is no tribe so uncivilized and savage which, even if it does not know what kind of a god it ought to have, does not know that it ought to have one.”

It was for the idea of one supreme deity that Socrates was given a cup of hemlock. He was executed for disturbing the polytheism of the Greeks. The name of one supreme God has been recognized in all major civilizations. Why such almost universal compliance to the notion of one god? Could it be that it is the most natural concept and its natural because it is implanted within our psyche? Evidence says so.
