Because I think so much of this is, you know, there's so much of the gospel is around doubt. You know, it's like, you know, you go back to with Exodus where Moses says, hang on one minute, Aaron, I'm just going up the mountain and just keep things under control. And then immediately out of sight, it's like...

Right, a bunch of guys in a heist and they have all the details in place, you're not going to believe them.
