are there really seekers?

(i'm back guys...both of you, and back with something pretty sweet today)

over the past couple decades (to my knowledge) there has been a great deal of thought and conversation given to The Seeker Movement. ultimately my perception of this phenomenon is that churches want to be sensitive to the unbelievers, "seekers," who are in the world, so they make their corporate worship services and strategies more open to the unbeliever who is seeking God. this also has been a debate of different degrees of the seeker position such as seeker sensitive, seeker targeted, seeker intelligible, seeker resistant, and the list probably goes on way further than i care to know. however, i don't want to talk about which of these seeker movements is correct, but rather, i'm questioning the whole idea of a seeker...and i don't have it dogmatically figured out, and that isn't my ultimate goal.

this is my perception of what a "seeker" is: a person who is without a relationship with Jesus, unsaved, unregenerate, lost, depraved, an unbeliever...but this person is "seeking" the idea of God in life and the world. they are searching to find God.

what i'm questioning is this: does this kind of person truly exist? what started this whole discussion in my mind is Romans 1 & 2 & 3. Paul lays out a theology that all humans have knowledge of God, that he exists and is the creator of the universe (they can percieve this in nature and the human makeup and conscience/moral law within us), but he says we've all turned away from that knowledge and supressed it, and in so doing worshiped the created thing instead of the Creator. we have rejected the knowledge of God, resisted it, and turned our backs on it and him. me, you, everyone (...before God saves us). then in Romans 3 (vs. 10-), Paul quotes Psalm 14 and says God has looked down from heaven, and there is no one that does good, no one that understands, and no one that seeks God...all have turned aside and become worthless. notice there is "no one" who seeks God, an all-inclusive statement about mankind. so, is there really a person out there that is unregenerate who is seeking after God. if there isn't, there are some intersting implications.

let me know what you think. i am familiar with the Etheopian eunich and Dorcas in the book of Acts, but i think those may be different situations.
