“God says that we can learn a great deal about Him just by observing nature. Because He has spoken through His universe, all men are without excuse for not believing in Him. This is why the Psalmist said: “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God” [Psalm 14:1 KJV].”

And you refuse to do it because you are afraid…. You refuse to do it because you want to live longer….
