Do you know the name of Yuri Gagarin??

The year was 1961 and this Russian cosmonaut was the first human to travel into space. After circling the earth, the atheistic astronaut came back and declared that he looked outside his capsule and didn’t see God anywhere.

To which Dr. W. A. Criswell replied, “Let him take just one step out of his space capsule for just one second and he’ll see God quickly enough!”

The reason why men don't see God is...….they don't want to find Him.
