Deists believe in God because of reason and natural theology.
Natural theology is a form of revelation.
Steve.
But not DIVINE revelation as per DIVINE revelation in a book of legends and myths.
Certainly written revelation (scripture), personal revelation (Christ), and natural revelation (creation) are all different modes of revelation, but they all have as their source God. thus natural revelation is still divine revelation.
If a human communicator (artist, musician or writer) can reveal something of himself in his creation, certainly a divine communicator can reveal something of himself through his creation.
