If he does accept the latter, then the results of his research will in all probability contradict the beliefs of the Church, but this is because he has begged the question from the start. In examining, for instance, the evidence for the virginal conception [of Jesus], if he begins with the presupposition that such an event is impossible he will end with the same conclusion; if he begins with the presupposition that it is possible he may end with the conclusion that the evidence for it is good or that it is bad or that it is inconclusive. This is as far as scholarship can take him. The Christian will accept the virginal conception as part of the Church's faith. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hercules and the WagonerA CARTER was driving a wagon along a country lane, when the wheels sank down deep into ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1518]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hercules and the WagonerA CARTER was driving a wagon along a country lane, when the wheels sank down deep into a rut. The rustic driver, stupefied and aghast, stood looking at the wagon, and did nothing but utter loud cries to Hercules to come and help him. Hercules, it is said, appeared and thus addressed him: Put your shoulders to the wheels, my man. Goad on your bullocks, and never more pray to me for help, until you have done your best to help yourself, or depend upon it you will henceforth pray in vain. Self-help is the best help.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's only one team a year that goes out the way they want to go out.
