I look to designed nature and inspired scripture for guidance. 40 is a number associated with trial and developement towards a higher state. 40 days to a being with clearly definable features of a person, 40 weeks of gestation, 40 years of fertility. It is said that "ensoulment" comes at 40 days.

I have great doubts as to whether God is just. But if the creator has even the barest concept of human justice, we are in UNIMAGINABLE trouble.

You doubt God is just, yet you continue to worship Him?

I have grave doubts concerning God's devotion to human concepts of justice.

A Being so trancendant and/or utterly different might have an entirely different concept of "justice" or no interest at all in being just.

And who said I worship God?

I am quite certain of the existence of God. I have no choice after witnessing so much unlikelyhood in the design of nature.

I greatly fear God.

I don't pretend to comprehend God or God's motivations well enough to engage in anything I'd call worship.

As it stands, I don't like God.

I am happy to worship the True Law embedded in the universe from the begining. Everything that makes possible and leads to the optimum human existance. It's Trancendant, Immutable, True... Even if an intelligent Creator didn't exist, The Law does, and It would be the only thing worthy of worship.
