Acts 17:16-34

Paul came to Athens where he saw widespread idol worship. He set about talking to everyone he could to bring them the message of Christ. Many of them became interested and asked him to speak in a public forum and explain things in detail. Paul told them about the true God and how He does not live in man-made temples and bears no resemblance to the idols made of silver and gold that they were worshiping.

God put into our hearts the desire to worship Him. When we don't worship Him, we wind up worshiping something else - a false God, nature, science, ourselves, or any number of other things. Only God is worthy of our praise and only God can save us. Giving our worship to anyone or anything else is pointless.
