Since many human beings are constantly trying to find sufficient evidence for the existence of God but do not get those evidences without being guilty, the problem of divine hidddenness arises. Some contemporary philosophers have investigated this issue in various ways, but the philosophers who first stepped forward to investigate this issue in more detail is Canadian philosopher John Schellenberg, who in 2006 in the book Divine Hiddenness and human Reason proved the divine hiddenness and focusing on the attributed  of divine love, he presented it as a proof for the benefite of believing in God. this argument claims that if God existed, he would have provided sufficient evidence and reasons for this belief, at least for the people who are searching for him, but this isn't the case now, so God doesn't exist.
the purpose of this article, in addition to explaning Schellenberg's divine hiddenness argument, will be to examine the American philosopher or religion Michael Ray's view of this issue. According to Ray, man's idea of God is like parents who are constantly fulfilling the needs ot their children, but since God's response to these demands isn't the same as that of parents, they conclude that her is ni Gid. In other words, the unfulfilled expectations of man from God based in divine love will be the most important element in the formation of this argument. Michael Ray tries to find the wrong foundations of human expectations from God and show us the right way to imagine.
