Since it happened only once, it is by Hume's standards infinitely improbable. But then, the whole history of the Earth has also happened only once: is it therefore incredible? Hence the difficulty, which weighs upon Christian and atheist alike, of estimating the probability of the Incarnation. It is like asking whether the existence of nature herself is intrinsically probable. That is why it is easier to argue, on historical grounds, that the Incarnation actually occurred than to show, on philosophical grounds, the probability of its occurrence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15668]]></link><description><![CDATA[To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any ground subtracts its own hue from the colors which it carries and therefore influences. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39102]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any ground subtracts its own hue from the colors which it carries and therefore influences.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39102</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition.
