Argument for Divine Providence of Religion

I'm by no means being original when i say this, as i know St. Thomas Aquinas has already tackled the topic quite successfully, but here goes anyway:

In a world where EVERYTHING has order and system,

the structure of atoms,
the way a child forms in the womb and is birthed,
the way our hair grows,
the ocean tide,
the petrification of a tree,
the organization of the solar system,
the passage of time,
mathematics, language, and music - all disciplines learned systematically,

why are we so arrogant to say that the Creator of humanity fails, neglects, or cares not to give us one ordered and systematic way to relate to Him and know Him, to love Him and serve Him?

In a world of intellectual pride, where each man pretends to understand human nature more than God Himself does, of course we see religious apathy, multiplicity, or void.
