Thee Negative Way

In the 4th Century, the Cappadocian Fathers offered their world view on questions, which cannot be answered. For example, they proclaimed that, while they believed in God, they did not believe that God exists. They believed that one should describe the nature of God by focusing on what God is not, rather than what God is. Since God is so far beyond human understanding and experience, the only hope we have of getting close to the nature of God is to list all His negative features; therefore, we cannot say that God exists because existence is a human notion and as such it may not apply to God. [Vlatko Vedral, Decoding Reality, p194]
