This sentence is original and was not derived from translation.

Man's unfailing capacity to believe what he prefers to be true rather than what the evidence shows to be likely and possible has always astounded me. We long for a caring Universe which will save us from our childish mistakes, and in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary we will pin all our hopes on the slimmest of doubts. God has not been proven not to exist, therefore he must exist.

➜ #1464910La capacité inébranlable de l'homme à croire ce qu'il préfère plutôt qu'à ce que les preuves démontrent être probable et possible m'a toujours stupéfié. Nous nous languissons d'un univers attentionné qui nous sauvera de nos puériles erreurs, et face à des montagnes de preuves du contraire nous allons accrocher nos espoirs aux doutes les plus minces. On n'a pas prouvé que Dieu n'existait pas, donc il doit exister.

➜ #3134308La capacità inesauribile dell'uomo di credere a ciò che preferisce essere vero piuttosto che ciò che l'evidenza dimostra di essere probabile e possibile mi ha sempre stupito. Aneliamo a un Universo premuroso che ci salverà dai nostri errori infantili, e di fronte alle montagne di prove del contrario riporremo tutte le nostre speranze sul più sottile dei dubbi. Dio non è stato dimostrato non esistere, quindi deve esistere.

➜ #3134309La capacità inesauribile dell'uomo di credere a ciò che preferisce essere vero piuttosto che ciò che l'evidenza dimostra di essere probabile e possibile mi ha sempre stupito. Aspiriamo a un Universo premuroso che ci salverà dai nostri errori infantili, e di fronte alle montagne di prove del contrario riporremo tutte le nostre speranze sul più sottile dei dubbi. Dio non è stato dimostrato non esistere, quindi deve esistere.

➜ #11444676Mani vienmēr ir pārsteigusi cilvēka nelokāmā spēja ticēt tam, kam viņš dod priekšroku būt patiesībai, nevis tam, ko pierādījumi liecina par ticamiem un iespējamiem. Mēs ilgojamies pēc gādīga Visuma, kas pasargās mūs no mūsu bērnišķīgajām kļūdām, un, saskaroties ar pierādījumu kalniem par pretējo, mēs visas cerības saistīsim ar mazākajām šaubām. Nav pierādīts, ka Dievs nepastāv, tāpēc viņam ir jāpastāv.
