God has no fear. Whom should He fear? He is the only one, there is no one besides Him.

This body is born, it will die. It is born by the conjunction of two bodies; it will disintegrate some day. When the bodies that gave birth to it have perished, how can something remain which is a component of the two?
But within this, there is also that which was never born but has nevertheless come with the embryo. It was there even before the formation of the foetus, and without it the
