Do Protestant Christians know about the God of nature as distinct from the God of supernature?

By God of nature I am referring to God as mankind can and does know Him to exist, by mankind's reason and intelligence.

And by God of supernature I am referring to God as Protestant Christians know Him to exist - by reading the Bible which holds the revelation of God by Himself, in particular of miracles He worked.

So, the natural man knows the God of nature by his natural reason and intelligence, while with the God of supernature Protestant Christians know Him to exist by revelabtion of God Himself by Himself, and recorded in the Bible.

I will focus on the God of nature, and I expect Protestant Christians to focus on the God of supernature.

Hi newj, I agree with you that "When something changes it doesn't mean it didn't exist before it changed."

For example, you changed from a baby to an adult woman, but all the time from conception to your present existence, you exist - but you didn't exist before your conception in the womb of your mother.

With God however He never changes in time, because He exists all the time.

So that if you insist that God changes in time, then you and I we don't have the identical meaning of the word God.

That is why for me God is the permanent self-existent spirit creator and operator of man and the universe and everything transient in nature.

Permanent existence implicates self-existence, meaning not dependent on another being to come into the status of reality which is existence.

So, when you keep on and on and on asking who created God, you are going into infinite regress because you are just repeating in your mind the same question, for in objective reality outside your mind there is or exists God, the pemanent self-existent spirit, source of all beings which have a beginning like with the material-phyical universe and you and me, we are transient beings, i.e. not permanent.
