“And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. [...] God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’ Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by man’s design and skill.” NIV

God is the One Who Makes Us Up, Not the Other Way Around
