Thanks for the "revelation." Was unfamiliar with Urim and Thummim so I had to look it up. None of the explanations mention "seeing" God. Some religions create "images" of God or gods which other religions call false idols. So-called Judeo-Christian religions don't seem to purport an actual "seeing" of God, rather they require a belief in God, sort of a blind belief rather than a "seeing is believing" faith. On the other hand, there is a mystical aspect to Christianity, and to religions in general, that "sees" nature and the physical universe as the handiwork of God. So that everything you "see" is, in some pantheistic way, an identification of God, so, in a sense, you "see" God when you "see." So you don't need "magic goggles to see god." Your God-given eyes will do just fine.

Anyway, I was just using your statement as a comparison to the Houdini like magic of progressive transformation of the Constitution. Perhaps that is of less importance to you than seeing God. Quite understandable.
