"Though argument does not create conviction, lack of it destroys belief.
What seems to be proved may not be embraced; but what no one
shows the ability to defend is quickly abandoned. Rational argument does not
create belief, but it maintains a climate in which belief may flourish."
(Austin Farrer on C. S. Lewis.)
