Thus, in whatever way we look at it, we shall find it really takes more credulity to believe that these miraculous events never happened than faith to believe that they did. Infidelity is indeed a matter of the heart and not of the head. "The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God" (Psa. 14:1).
Where the heart is right there is no strain put upon faith. It is eminently reasonable. Infidelity, on the other hand, in its attitude to the Bible, bids its votaries to believe that mighty effects of undeniably elevating and purifying power spring out of totally inadequate causes of falsehood and wickedness, putting such a strain on credulity, that it takes all the bias of poor fallen nature and its hatred of God to carry it through.
