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://maxioms.com/maxiom/8514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our memories are the only paradise from which we can never be expelled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26910]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our memories are the only paradise from which we can never be expelled.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every bees hony is sweet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49213]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every bees hony is sweet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the first time in the history of Lebanon, the Lebanese feel that they have the power to decide their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34381]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the first time in the history of Lebanon, the Lebanese feel that they have the power to decide their fate,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man seems the only growth that dwindles here. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18385]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man seems the only growth that dwindles here.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The United States has requested NATO relief support in the form of food supplies.
