It is what God wants His followers to BELIEVE that's the money shot, if you will. He wants them to believe in His Bible TRUTH. That transcends mere physical reality by half a furlong, if not a light year.
Hate to be saving the religiousites nibblets for them, but it's all about the big picture here, and mere physical reality 'truth' is nothing compared to the power of His Word.
I'd be quite happy with this attitude, as it's the only way they can present their FAITH to outsiders, who by necessity, are not believers, yet:
God said it,
The Bible records it,
I believe it.
If I'm not mistaken, that's why they're called 'believers'.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
