God is Truth. All who seek truth seek God, whether this is clear to them or not.

There is much that St. Theresa Benedicta had to say about faith. here’s one which I had in a blog post about faith and science: ““Since the ultimate ground of all existence [alles Seienden] is unfathomable, everything which is seen in this ultimate perspective moves into that ‘dark light’ of faith, and everything intelligible is placed in a setting with an incomprehensible background.”
—St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein), Finite and Eternal Being, p. 25
I made the point after this that science can aanswer the question how we came to be here, but only faith can answer why.
