Light falling on a person or a thing reveals a lot of information. For we gather information through our eyes and to see we need light. Without light, to us, nothing is. There have been discussions in science, 100 years ago. If things are if they are not seen or known. Is the coffee-cup behind your back there, when you don't watch it? Where should it go you wonder? Well, if you don't give it a name and a sense, it may just be there but without purpose. If it is there at all.
Is God there if we don't see him? We believe he is. Is he there, if nobody believes in him? We believe he is. That's called idealistic. Thinking things are whether I know it or not. Whether I see it or not.
Turn the question around and it makes more sense to me. Is there naything if nobody perceives it? God does. There is nothing his light doesn't shine on. And his light changes perception as much as a color added to a spot changes the color of the object.
If your shirt is blue in blue light, what color will it have in white light? Still blue? or white? God's presence changes the light we live in and many things we used to call blue may well be white.
