Much like a Kaniza triangle
where the artist has not drawn a triangle, this sphere was not drawn by the artist and is known as a contour illusion.
I like to think this is how theists see god. They see evidence that they consider divine that outlines or contours the shape of something that isn't there.
I'd like to close this post with a quote from Pascal that I find both fitting and oddly humorous.
There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.
