The heavens and all creation are evidence of Gods existence. Though Jesus was dealt a fatal blow, as he gave up his spirit, he crushed the head of the serpent.

But they are right to inculcate the giving of aims proportioned to past sins; for if they said that any kind of alms could obtain the divine pardon of great sins committed daily and with habitual enormity, if they said that such sins could thus be daily remitted, they would see that their doctrine was absurd and ridiculous.
