"Tetapi bagaimana kita akan memaafkan perhatian yang kurang perhatian dari dunia kafir dan filosofis pada bukti-bukti yang disajikan oleh tangan Mahakuasa, bukan karena alasan mereka, tetapi untuk indra mereka? Selama zaman Kristus, para rasulnya, dan murid-murid pertama mereka, doktrin yang mereka khotbahkan dikonfirmasi oleh keajaiban yang tak terhitung banyaknya. Orang lumpuh berjalan, orang buta melihat, orang sakit disembuhkan, orang mati dibangkitkan, daemon diusir, dan hukum-hukum Alam sering ditangguhkan untuk kepentingan gereja."

--- Edward Gibbon

But how shall we excuse the supine inattention of the Pagan and philosophic world to those evidences which were presented by the hand of Omnipotence, not to their reason, but to their senses? During the age of Christ, of his apostles, and their first disciples, the doctrine which they preached was confirmed by innumerable prodigies. The lame walked, the blind saw, the sick were healed, the dead were raised, daemons were expelled, and the laws of Nature were frequently suspended for the benefit of the church.
