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[Or, if there were a sympathy in choice, War, death, or sickness did lay siege to it,  Making it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11088]]></link><description><![CDATA[Or, if there were a sympathy in choice, War, death, or sickness did lay siege to it,  Making it momentany as a sound,   Swift as a shadow, short as any dream,    Brief as the lightning in the collied night,     That, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and earth,      And ere a man hath power to say 'Behold!'       The jaws of darkness do devour it up:        So quick bright things come to confusion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've made several films that haven't been shown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39871]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've made several films that haven't been shown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are only two kinds of scholars; those who love ideas and those who hate them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27797]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are only two kinds of scholars; those who love ideas and those who hate them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humility is the only true wisdom by which we prepare our minds for all the possible changes of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1109]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humility is the only true wisdom by which we prepare our minds for all the possible changes of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Works of the intellect are great only by comparison with each other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22879]]></link><description><![CDATA[Works of the intellect are great only by comparison with each other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is an ideal thing, marriage is a real thing.
