“None of us has seen the Norman Conquest or the defeat of the Armada. None of us could prove them by logic as you could prove a thing in mathematics. We believe them simply because people who did see them have left writings that tell us about them: in fact, on authority. A man who jibbed at authority at other things as some do in religion would have to be content to know nothing all of his life.”
– C.S. Lewis
