Even a thoughts must be searched or found before you can formulate it's meaning. And definitions are comprised of thoughts.
Even if God found someone who had no idea of God's existance they would still need to first come upon the awareness of God's presence before they could realize what God is.

Ps. 139:7-12
God is everywhere. We cannot escape His presence.

1 Ki. 8:27
The heavens cannot contain God.

Jer. 23:23-24
No one can hide from God. He is always near at hand. God fills the heaven and earth.

Heb. 4:13
There is no creature hidden from God's sight. All things are naked and opened to His sight.

Acts 17:24-28
God is man's creator. God is not far from us. In Him, we live and move and have our being.

If we seek God, we will find Him. But if we forsake God, He will cast us off (1 Ch. 28:9; Matt. 7:7-12; Ja. 4:7-10).


God's everywhere (in heaven and earth) except hell which is the absence of God.
Paul says to "lift up holy hands, without wrath and doubting" in prayer. That seems more to me like welcoming God with open arms
not firing a signal or lighting a beacon but I could see you making a satellite dish comparison. I think when God speaks to us it's not some transmission but that he is actually there speaking from within to your soul which lives in a burrow without cable or satellite. To argue religion is pointless because it's based in interpretation and usually few facts.

This has been very enlightening.
You've made points that will have me soul-searching for hours to come.
The Gold/God thing: I was thinking more how men have gone to war over both. Left thier families behind for both etc. I think you could make a great poem out of it.

Maybe the find/define issue is more like the chicken/egg question.
