Come on Bart, you're smarter than this reply.  If you don't know
(internal) anything about the object in which one has placed his faith,
then how can he place his faith in that object to begin with.  You
confuse notitia with exhaustive understanding.

Bart, the rest of your rebuttal is illogical.  One must first conceive
a thing before one can move toward it.  One is not saved simply by
turning away.  One must also turn toward.  Therefore, a revealing must
occur which means that some degree of notitia is acquired.  "As a man
thinketh, so he is" teaches the fact that a man must first conceive a
thing.  He cannot carve an idol unless he first have some conception of
who God is.  Idolatry first occurs in the mind before it proceeds into
the external exhibition thereof.  This was true of Adam, of you and me.
It is the mechanics of the universe as designed by God Himself.  The
whole structure of the Divine Plan depends upon it.
