I remember in studying theology, we spoke about how so many of the things that we know about God had to be revealed to us, and we trust that they are true and we can safely believe in the things that He has revealed because of what we call — and something that’s branded in theology as — motives of credibility. In Latin: motiva credibilitatis. These are signs or reasons that make the act of faith reasonable and trustworthy, and at the same time not forced. They are not proofs in the strict scientific sense, but rational supports that make it credible to believe in divine revelation.
